THE NEW REVELATION

BY

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

Dedication

To all the brave men and women, humble or learned, who have the moral
courage during seventy years to face ridicule or worldly disadvantage
in order to testify to an all-important truth.

March, 1918

PREFACE

Many more philosophic minds than mine have thought over the religious
side of this subject and many more scientific brains have turned their
attention to its phenomenal aspect. So far as I know, however, there
has been no former attempt to show the exact relation of the one to the
other. I feel that if I should succeed in making this a little more
clear I shall have helped in what I regard as far the most important
question with which the human race is concerned.

A celebrated Psychic, Mrs. Piper, uttered, in the year 1899 words which
were recorded by Dr. Hodgson at the time. She was speaking in trance
upon the future of spiritual religion, and she said: "In the next
century this will be astonishingly perceptible to the minds of men. I
will also make a statement which you will surely see verified. Before
the clear revelation of spirit communication there will be a terrible
war in different parts of the world. The entire world must be purified
and cleansed before mortal can see, through his spiritual vision, his
friends on this side and it will take just this line of action to bring
about a state of perfection. Friend, kindly think of this." We have
had "the terrible war in different parts of the world." The second
half remains to be fulfilled.
