The Law of Immortality.

You will find the scientific secret of i'm
mortality concealed behind the under
working laws of Nature. These laws in
cessantly incarnate themselves in posi-
tive and negative expressions or forms.
Through all the animal kingdom the
spine, which is wonderful system of
spermatic centers, works up until it un-
folds the negative hemisphere of the hui
man soul; that is the Cerebellum. All
the signs of intelligence and of infallibIe
instinct in. the anti-human world are
folded up and interlaced in this depart
ment of the physical brain. Therefore,
the cerebellum represents the whole ami
NAL world, so far as its voluntative intel
lect, its reasoning faculties, instincts, at
fractions, and repulsions, can be embodied
in our structure. Look at the cerebral
conformation, and you will detect the
positive hemisphere of the human soul ;
that is the Cerebrum. Nature, by elabo-
rating these hemispheres, forms perfect
pyramid; and when the apex has been
reached and polished, her power to pro-
duce another and better organization is
exhausted. The middle structure is that
which possesses the wisdom principles,
the virtues and the attributes of durabil-
ity. If man had only the positive and
negative brains, and not the middle por-
ton, he would be like the horse. dog,
bird, etc., having no personal immortali-
ty. The brain of the horse has the cere-
bellum department of affection and disaf-
fection, of love and aversion. It has also
the positive brain partially developed, in
front, which gives it the power of hear
ing, seeing analyzing and reasoning, but
invariably with the limitations of the bod
lily senses. The possession of these double
brains is no evidence of personal immor-
tality. But the middle structure is a
scientific demonstration. This mental
child completes and indisolubly binds the
golden tie between the two hemispheres
of the cranial organism; that's, converts
the two interior brains, the mind, into a
perfect unit, which nothing can deminish
or change. Suppose, to illustrate the force
of this material evidence, you build or
observe an arch. One of the perpendicu-
lar walls will represent the positive, the
other negative principles. Now, here are
two equal walls, but there is nothing, as
yet, to bind and hold the opposing but
friendly sides together as one structure.
This condition will represent scientiffcal-
Iy the situation and destiny of the animal
mind. But, into mans mental arch, Ma
ture puts keystone. And this glorious
arch, with its keystone of .impersonal
principles, will stand forever!
The reason why structure thus begin
ming cannot end, is: the elements com
posing it are not the elements of decom-
position. The spiritual department is the
keystone of the immortal arch. The
child of the corrugated brains-Love anG
Intellect-is Wisdom. Wisdom is tha
which elevates mans love and intellec
above the passions and psychologist of the
animal creation. In this department you
find the impersonal principles; all that i
beautiful and true. This is the immacu
late offspring which maketh man to com
prehend and love the idea of eternal per
sonal happiness: A truly harmonial ant
wise man loves wife, offspring and hu
manity, chiefly through the dome of tn,
mental structure, for this department
destined in all men to control both pas
sion and intellect. Intellect, unaided ant
alone carries the individual into skepti
cism and pantheism. And the affections
alone and unaided, lead men into fanati
cism and idolatry. Love holds the powe
to unlove; just as intellect has the powe
to unthink. Hence the child of bot
brains must be well born and developed
in order to bring love and intellect int
harmony, and thus cement and perfeC
their marriage eternal. The whole us
