Psychical Research
Praf. H. E. Armstrong having] virtually asked him to withdraw from the Royal Society because of his belief in spiritualism and communica- tion with the dead, Lodge stated in March 1928, that he was quite ready to do so, If the request was made of- ficially. At
the the meeting of British Association he predicted that before it met again at Oxford they would be in undisputed touch with "the next world".
Advance Theories
Of late, he pointed out; one dis- covery after another had completely revolutionised scientifle theories and it was not out of the question that the next one might be in the spiritual domain. On the other hand, he once declared his belief in the possibility that life would some day be created in the Jaboratories of the biologists. He also asserted that sooner or later: men would be able, to control the weather.
