THE NEW REVELATION
BY
ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE




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.
