THE RELIGIOUS VIEWS OF Mr.. SEWARD
are quite topic OF discussion just now and in that
| connection it may be proper to give the HERALD
readers the experiences OF one of his most inti-
mate clerical friends, who says that Governor Sew
ard firmly believed the doctrine Of .he immortal
| ity of the soul or spirit, and OF Its uti-
mate reunion with some form Of immortalized body
after the interval Of separation called DEATH ac-
cordng to the intimatons contained In the fifteenth
chapter of st. Paul's First Epistle to the Corin-
thians. II was his manner OF expressing his ideas
upon the subject to say that there is not any real
death; that the life with which human being Is
| invested at his birth Is an emanaton from the
Deity and is immortal; that the first clay body In
| which 1t is tabernacled wears out and
perishes; that the spiritual life continues
| to exist thenceforward In Q dsembodied
/ state until the occurrence of the greatest Of all
the marvels the great consummation, viz the
| resurrection and rehabilitation OF the body, its
| union again In some form with the life or SPIRIT
| and the creation Of new heaven and new earth,
when man ascends to higher sphere Of existence
Hence 1t was his habit to speak Of what we call
death as temporary sleep Of the body, and Of the
future state, SO called, Of the soul spirit, as the
TWO FUTURE STATES OF EXISTENCE
The first time the Governor mentioned his views
at length upon this subject at the burial on Fort
"His dust merely sleeps there temporarily" /" he
remarked; "but the Judge himself is still alive"
| Then, in measured and very impressive manner,
he repeated few lines from the hymn to Death.
"Snch,n he continued, "is the doctrine, the faith
and the hope OF the CHRISTIAN religion. 1t Is the
appointed destiny OF man,
In the month OF June OF 1865, when the sexton
ard, the Governor went there, in company with
/ Baron Stocked, General Hancock and Dr. Norris,
to give the required directions ana t sat- ior WHILE
the Baron remarked that ne was unable TO realize
the fact that Mrs. Seward was dead, -,
| ssShe Is not" replied the Governors "she still
lives. she still lives in the. condition which the
! Church styles the place OF departed spirits.
There is no such thing death OF the soul or liie
II ia the body alone which sleeps and that only for
q limited but unreveaed season. SO we read and
so we believe.o
..That" returned the Baron, ''ls very comforta-
| BILE reflection"
ut Is not only comfortable reflection" contin-
/ ned the Governor, '.but IL Is the consolation af-
iorded by an enlightened view OF the Christian re-
L igion.n
| The same idea was advanced by the Governor at
the time of the burial by the side OF her mother OF
| his daughter Frances.
A large attendance OF distinguished visitors is
| pected in the city on Monday. They Will be re-
ceived by the Mayor and committee oil citizens
1 and Common Councilmen. Special cars will be
| added to the trains running to Auburn on Monday
| to accommodate visitors. One car will come from
