AN APPRECIATION BY LORD NORTHCLIFFE
I HAVE not had an opportunity of reading the whole of
The Life Beyond The Veil
, but among the pas-sages I have perused are many of great beauty.It seems to me that the personalityof the Rev. G. Vale Owen is a matterof deep importance and to be con-sidered in connexion with these veryremarkable documents. During thebrief interview that I had with him Ifelt that I was in the presence of aman of sincerity and conviction. Helaid no claims to any particularpsychic gift. He expressed a desirefor as little publicity as possible, anddeclined any of the great emolu-ments that could easily have cometo him as the result of the enormousinterest felt by the public all overthe world in these scripts.
