~ &e Editor Of Ths chtedao 117btlAt:
CHICAGO. May 28-Taking Advantage at your
open columns for ths p.eeentaeioh OF various
news on Bible subjects. wish to present few
thoughts upon the subject Of the Immortality OF
the soul. In the eighth article of the series
nhered by Gov. Woodford at the recent Re-
formed Episcopal Convention held il this city,
hoticed "the Immortality Of the soul" Was
named Is an article OF faith to be adopted by
that body. And the recent discussion at Erans-
ion by the 200 Methodist uainisters/ and Bishops
resulted in concluding, among other things that
"God created the soul Of man immortal and
uoaid not cut of that Immortality IN either the
sinful or the righteous, though 1t Was eminept!y
within His power to Do co."
This doctrine Of the souls Immortality is the
rorner-stoue upon which rests superstructure
made up Of the Following beliefs: ~ That the
sou] is the real man. consequently man is i'm
mortal ~ Being immortal be must live for
ever. Cs} Such being his destiny, heaven
e1ints somewhere "beyond tho bounds OF time
aud space" for the righteous, purgatory for
another clasn, and burning hell ot eternal tor
nnent for the remainder.
But supposing tbs doctrine OF the i1asnor-
talltv OF the soul ba false, whet will become OF
upon it, They eink to Eisa 40 more. The
tabled heaven Of immortal souls, the Catholic
puxgatory, Ind blazing hell Of tormeoted and
ntser-dy1ng eouia are all dependent for their
existenca upon = belief first in the " "imuortM
