The Light Surrounding Every Person
It has been long contended that there surrounds every one a personal, individual, magnetic influence, greater or less in proportion to the amount of vitality, strength of will, etc., which the individual possesses. It has lately been developed by science that there is a real radiance connected with this, and in Chicago recently it was demonstrated. A young person of strong vitality was placed in the dark, while scientific men were provided with blue-tinged dicynea screens, which rendered the eyes sensitive to the aural phenomena. There was seen to be a bluish glow that enclosed the body of the person, which oscillated softly with every movement. When Dr. O'Donnell, who gave the demonstration, placed his hand near the shoulder of the person, this aural haze extended to meet his hand. This also demonstrates the truth of the Scripture that there is light with every person. Some become bodies of darkness,—those who are evilly inclined,—so that, as the Scripture intimates, the light that is in them is darkness. There is a scientific basis in the words which Jesus addressed to His disciples, "Ye are the light of the world." Undoubtedly these things will be developed more and more by science, but the student of the Scripture will find in them suggestions to great spiritual truths. He may also see more light regarding the spiritual influences which surround us in angels of good and angels of evil.
