The Spiritist Theory dissipated my indifference and my doubts. Denis became a champion of Kardec's teaching and dedicated his life to its cause. He was known as 'The Apostle of Spiritsm' and he summerised his personal mission when he stated; I have consecrated this existence to the service of a Great cause, Spiritism or Modern Spiritualism that will certainly be the universal faith and the religion of the future.
