    I've managed to find scans of all of Judge Rutherford's 100+ page books (23 in total) except for one rather elusive title:

    "Can the Living Talk with the Dead?" circa 1920 by Judge Rutherford (128 pages)

    Does anybody know of an existing scan for this book? Because I've tried about 10 different archive sites myself and am just at a total loss :(

    I ran into the same problem when I was compiling my "electronic library."

    Maybe someone else can clarify, but I noticed that the wtpubs list on the freeminds site listed both "Can the Living Talk with the Dead?" and "Talking with the Dead" as being published in 1920 and having 160 pages. So I assumed they were the same publication with two different titles and maybe the latter title won out and had more printings???

    If you don't already have "Talking With the Dead," send me an email address in a pm, and I will forward a copy to you.

    Yeah, it is kind of weird. The 1991 list of Rutherford's publications doesn't list "Talking to the dead" at all, but it does include

    1920 "Can the living talk with the dead" -- Lecture. Soft Cover. (128 pages)

    Here is a picture of Talking to the dead as well. Notice that it is slightly different than the first pic that I linked to.

    I have a scan of "Talking with the Dead" (1920), if that is what you are looking for. Uploading it right now.

    Actually, I have "Talking with the dead" already.

    It is "Can the living talk with the dead" that I haven't been able to find :(

    I'm curious, but not enough to read the PDF all the way through just yet.

    What is the jest of the book, did they think that people could talk with the dead?

    Sense tells me that it must have a different view from what is believed now, yes?
