France and Prussia. Let US come nearer home and

Catholics. To American Catholic institutions

lay up money" This lady has during thirty years
called upon Mr. Greeley for various Catholic insti-

appeal for Catholic need at home and abroad.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Judging from your issue OF Sunday, August 25
the doctrine Of the immortality Of the soul must
still "go begging" for defender, for it appears
to me that neither "w. H." nor m. A. G." can hl
the gap. IN. A. G." is right in assuming that II
believe in the divine origin OF the Bible as being
Gods word and written under the guidance OF His
holy spirit" and the question is, Is this doctrine
taught in the Bibe9 Is 1t named In the
BibleP "To the law and the testimony
let our appeal be. Never mind the 'Mos
lem and heathen,n the "Tlindoo" or the Savage
Indian" II they believe the doctrine in question
the inference may safely be drawn that 1t is false
doctrines for "lifc and immortality are brought to
light through the gospel" ana not through the
degraded heathen" and Savage Indian Of our
own Continent"
1t seems to me that advocates Of this unscrip-
tural doctrine sometimes forget what side they
on, or that they assume that all opposers Of the
doct rine reject future existence altogether, and
that when they have found q Scripture teaching
future life said Scripture Is put forth
as proof OF the souls inherent immortality.
But 1t must be remembered that future
life may be true and Scriptural, while
the Immortality OF the soul" may be false and
unscriptural doctrine. These remarks are fully
borne out by IN. A. Gs' nrst scriptural proof
Proof OF what or the doctrine of the Immortality
OF the soul. At least so it is intended But all the
passage proves Is future life TO the believer Here
