Joseph Cook


The old, old question, which has
wrought in the mind of man since the
pallor of mortality first settled upon the
face OfmurdeTed Abel the inquiry which
has risen in the heart of every human
who has looked through binding tears
and with anguish of soul upon the coE
fined forms of his cherished dead; the
paramount problem which will ever re-
main linked up and firmly incor-
pOrated with all the sweet
and sorrowful interests of humanity
till time shall be no more, namely =
Does death end all ~ was set forth by
the master mind of Joseph Cook in this
city Tuesday night in light which dis
placed doubt. dissipated skepticism, and
made clear the hope of the weakest be-
lever in the grand doctrine of the i'm
mortality of the soul.
The position of the great psychologist,
namely, that death does not end all,
Is founded upon two fundamental
and organic principles. The first is
that God never creates an instinct with
out providing for its cravings, and sec
Ondly, that as the life, or the ger
minating force must preeede or go be-
fore all organization, 1t can and does
exist after disOrganizatIon. The first
division of his argument was forcibly
and beautifully illustrated by setting
forth the beneficence of the di-
vine economy in providing sounds
for the ear, feasts of beauty
for the eye, companiOnship to meet
our social demands, and demonstrating
by multiplied evidences that God never
makes any "half hinges" but that for
every organic instinct implanted in the
human heart there is always something
to match it in the wide and teeming Gre
alton of the master architect. The APP
plication of this condition was then
made to the existence of the conscience,
which, the speaker proved, had animated
to greater or less degree the
hearts of all men from the lowest
grades of barbarism to the highest types
of civilization, and the evidence of
which had found expression in all the
multifarlous forms of religion which
had been known among men in every
age of the world. This universal reach
ing out to something beyond and above
this life; this feeling of amenabIlity to
a power beyond the skies, the speaker
claimed, was the "halthinge" which
must find its mate in the future life.
Turning then, to the consideration of
his second proposition, Mr.. Cook by an
exhaustive line of scientific argument,
which he succeeded in making perfectly
clear to his hearers, put to flight the
materialistic arguments that matter is
the origin Of all things; the theory Of
spontaneous generation, and other equal.
