Excerpt from On the Threshold of the Spiritual World: A Study of Life and Death Over There In this volume I have tried to gather some of the human impressions and permit them to point the way to their own interpreta tion so far as possible. I have not narrated events as mere history but only by way of suggesting their effect on the inner life. I have assumed that in endeavoring to learn what the war has meant for those who fought it we have been asking the great questions of human existence anew, we have been wondering what part the divine providence played in the war, how it affected those who came closest to the enemy and witnessed sor row and suffering on every hand in the war countries. We have also asked what results it produced on human belief, notably with respect to religion, the human soul, death, the future life, and the compensations of the spiritual world.
