ct to all your readers.

Mr. Bryant asks: "Could a person remember his own death in a
former reincarnation?" Yes, he could--if he could "tune in"
on his higher consciousness, or ego. Were that possible, he
could see all his past lives from beginning to end. It is
only the physical self that dies; the ego, or true self, is
immortal and remembers everything that it has experienced in
previous incarnations on the physical plane. But since
consciousness on this plane is expressed through the
material brain, most human beings are unable to recall their
former visits to this world; and it is perhaps better so. If
there were not loss of memory our minds would now range over
the adventures of thousands of years in the past. It would
encompass a vast drama with countless loves and hates, of
many lives filled with pathos and tragedy. Thus to distract
the mind from the present life would retard our progress.
There will come a time in human evolution when the average
person will be able to recall his past incarnations, and
then there will be no need or argument that we have lived
here before, because everyone will remember it.

For those who care to pursue this subject more fully, I
recommend "Elementary Theosophy," by L. W. Rogers,
obtainable at most public libraries.--Allen Glasser, 1610

_Prefers the Longer Stories_

Dear Editor:

I've been reading your excellent periodical since the first
issue, and I feel that I'm entitled to an opportunity to
give expression to my reactions to the various issues. Of
course, as a whole, the magazines were uniformly good every
month, but some of the stories, naturally, were better than
others.

In the January issue the best story was "The Beetle Horde"
by Victor Rousseau. I expected a lot from this writer,
having read his "Draft of Eternity," "The Eye of Balamok"
and "The Messiah of the Cylinder." I wasn't disappointed.

The best story in the February issue was "Spawn of the
Stars," by Charles Willard Diffin. Diffin is a newcomer as
far as I know, but he certainly can write.

"Vandals of the Stars" took the honors in the March issue.
A. T. Locke has written some good adventure shorts, but this
was his first fantastic story, to the best of my knowledge.
