The featured articles in this issue are concerned with questions of life after death. "Human Personality: Objections to Belief in Immortality" (Part 6) by Hartley B. Alexander discusses how the intimate relationship of body and mind is "an obstacle to belief in a spiritual survival of bodily death". "Prof. Muensterberg and Dr. Hodgson" by James H. Hyslop contrasts the experiences of a Mrs. Piper and Dr. Hodgson with the professor's sceptical views on immortality. "A Record of Experiments", also by Hyslop, introduces the first of a series of detailed records of Hyslop's investigations of paranormal activities. This one concerns experiments with a Ouija board.
