Is The Soul AnnihiIated at Death ?

EDITOR AGE:-It seems to me that
the Rev. Mr.. Daman is a little dis
posed to be tricky. He asked reasons
tor believing that the soul or spirit Of
man is immortal. / offered eight
brief arguments for his consideration,
all drawn from the Scriptures
LIST. God inspired Adam with 4he
spirit Of liyes," Gen. 2: 7. 1t is alb
sLrd to believe that the life that came
from God can die.
End. Iproved by Scripture, in the
seven points following this, that souls
were in a state Of conscious existence
between death and their resurrection,
hence they must have been immortal
Mr.. Daman holds the notion that
the spirit dies with the body, and hence
there is no future existence for any
until the resurrection of our material
bodies at the end of the world ! All
who have died from Adam down to
the present are completely in non
existence SO far as being intelligent
minds is concerned. The Bible re-
flutes this notion completely.
Now, this saplent annihilationist,
instead OF replying to my arguments,
has the etfroutery to make no reply,
but to intimate that what he asks for
is the precise expressions in the Bible,
Immortal SOUL" '.deathless spirit, I"
"never-dying soul" There are no
such precise expressions in the Bible,
nevertheless, the Bible clearly teaches
that many souls have been in con-
scious state soon after death, and be-
fore their resurrection. Will he tell
me why Matt. 10: % does not prove
the immortality of the soul ?

Specie payment is coming of itself
In spite Of greenback leagues and
Congressional fooling with silver,
gold is coming into Use and, strange
ly enough, the first report of the re-
demption OF banks circulation in
gold comes from the very home of the
initiation mania, Chicago. Accomp-
lishcd facts in such case as this
speak more strongly than theories,
however popular. The truth of the
matter seems to be that the great
business interests of the country have
worked for resumption through COM
mercial channels, and have at length
accomplished it in spite of disturbing
legislation.

The Presidential Prospects OF tho

A leading anti-iIayes administration

Of the troubles OF the party At the

more compact, and more united than
at any former period Of our history,
not excepting tho most marked
period OF pro slavery domination,
when large Union minority existed,

internal discussion aud distrust,

sacrifices for both, and held up the
hag in the face Of all pcrilS, will refuse
to accept the treachcry, or 10 kiss the
rod that haa smittcn the party rs with
a palsy. Many thousands have Drift
ed away already from disgust and in
difference. Other thousands are ius re
ing into new forms, Everywhere the
or .anization is feeble aud totterng
from the want Of vigorous tone aud
unity, partly caused by the infusion OF
lIayesism and the official machinery
used to plant tae seeds Of dscord, but
mostly because the Republican lead
ers n; Washington have failed to draw
the line broadly between u false and
weak administration aud the party
which 1t has betrayed.
"One hundred and eighty five cleo
toral votes are necessary to elect the
next President. The Democracy will
enter the contest with certain CAPT
tai of one hundred and thirty'eight
from the South. They will therefore
only lack torty.seven to insure success.
They now have control of the State
Governments of Connecticut, New
York, New jersey, Ohio, Indiana and
California, which together cast nearly
double the necessary number to elect,
when added to the solid South. Then
they had a large majority in Penhsyl-
vania over the republican candidate
for State Treasurer last fall. These
facts are stern and full of admonition.
They demonstrate that under the
most favorable conditions, the Repub-
licans must poll n full vote to elect the
next President and that vote must
come from the North exclusively.

infamous hypocrite as his friend
and palmer in crime, S. Angler Chase,

week. This man Halfway has issued
illgitimate notes to the amount OF
100000 or more, and is certain that
the Border City and Sycamore mills
are irretrievably ruined, the amount of
the indebtedness in each case being
larger than the corporate property
and the Directors can possible carry.
Hathaway has not made any statement,
