No Cemitério ('In the Cemetery') was a Brazilian Kardecist commemorative sheet issued in Porto Alegre for All Souls' Day, its 1907 number carrying messages signed by the Spiritist eminences Bezerra de Menezes and Feliciano. Keyed to the cemetery and the memory of the dead, it preaches the consolatory doctrine of Allan Kardec: that life 'widens to the infinite,' that those who weep on earth will smile in the life of God, and that the soul studies, repents, and progresses across successive existences. Its most striking passage stages a mediumistic dialogue in which a soul is surrounded by spirits — among them the one he killed — and is bidden to remember his former lives, a vivid dramatization of reincarnation and moral accounting. A faint trace of hypnotism and magnetic 'passes' sits at the margins. The sheet belongs to the Latin Kardecist current, whose communion with the dead it shares with Anglo-American Spiritualism while its reincarnationist doctrine sets it apart.
