A scarce and wacky book of evangelical apologetics from the turn of the century which seeks to prove the physical survival of the soul after death, drawing from current psychical research. Marschner discusses hypnotism, clairvoyance, telepathy, somnambulism, apparitions, spirit photography, seances, materialization, psychic healing, possession, astral biological bodies, and other topics, using them as proof of his theory. This proof, he argues, should lead any skeptic onward to Christian salvation.
