In the evening the paper MANS Immortality"
was read by Hon. Will Cumback, the author,
! Rev. Sidney Dean, Of Rhode Island having by
reason of sickness been unable to attend The
| paper was an admirable one-profound, clear,
| keen and scholarly. The closing sentences were
as follows: MAN is both material and immortal;
| a trinity in unity-mind soul, body. The mind

| workshop of the soul. 1t is the courtroom for
| the trial of the multitudinous cases which arise
in the souls ife 1t is the souls servant, not its
master; such is its natural relation. 1t will sus
| tain that relation during all it's existence even
| though temporarily warped and moved out of
its place during mortal life. AS the servant of
the soul, the subordinate but necessary part of
the immortal man, IL will expand forever.
1t will grow in power OF mental

of knowledge, in processes of reasoning; grow in
| clearness of perception in the comprehension of
| its own nature and laws and the laws OF Gods
| immense and immeasurable universe; grow IN
power of analysis; grow in every department or
| its nature and activities. and will grow forever.
| But it will still be the servant of the soul. The
| fruits of its ripening powers Will be lad at the
| feet of conscience-the inner temple Of the soul.
| 1.-The soul will absorb these acquisitions. 1t
will melt them in the crucible of its increasing
| life. 1t will form them into wreaths for the
browning of its devotion to the God who created
| it and loves it with fathers love. BY the sweet
| influence of a pure and superabundant will the
soul will direct it. inspire it, sustain it. By the
love of the soul-the real man child of the
heavenly life-the mind will become active
agent for the disclosure of that great law
of the conscious universe of God-the law
of usefulness to others. In all worlds
this included-this divine law of neighbor love
and helpfulness is the only law of growth and
soul happiness. Angels are moved by it, They
are the ministering spirits of God to mitigate

rugged paths to bleeding feet, and enlighten the
ignorant
''The universe of God is pregnant with
sistless activity 1t is the activity of spirit find
ing disclosure through the channels opening up
infinite wisdom and love. But the intellect is to
the soul what the hands, the eyes, the ears, the
feet are to the mortal body They obey the
voice of the WILL speaking from its unseen cham
ber 1t is the law, and the law is universal and
| continuous. In the chamber of the soul whore
the everything conscience holds its court the
soul is the executive officer, and the mind the
gathering servant, collecting evidence. and
judicially preparing that evidence for
body is the material, mortal servant
of the soul during its formative earthly pc
Rod. 1t has pleased the Creator to create souls
with bodies and not without them, But the re
laton is temporary and subordinate. What He
may have created in other planets worlds, and
| how they were emancipated from their mortal
| cerements is not for US to speculate upon. We
| may know hereafter from whence came angel
and archan gel, cherubim and serap him-that
| great spirit brotherhood revealed to US only by
name and character in the scriptures Our
mortality is an ever present fact. Die we must
| to earth, material form. Amen SO be 1t!
| 1t is better far better than an eternal continu-
| ance of the present life. Our immortality of
| soul is as assured is mortality of body.
! The voices of the soul are as clear and emphatic
! as the voices of material nature. Let them be
heard.
I'm the stiffness of the night when, human
| activities find rest and the body repose, the
slightest sounds in nature seem to have an audi
| BILE voice. When the soul retires from the
activities of the mind and the tolls of the body,
| and shut in with its own selfcommunion, the
| voices of the spirit reach 1t and are heard Nay
| it hears and feels 1t is touched by unseen
fingers, and all the chords of its life thrill with
| the harmonies which are created by that touch.
Memory awakens, hopes revive, aspirations are
knded, and the angel of light comes with the
| sweet impression-the language of spirit, testi-
| flying to the immortal life beyond these mortal
shores. Then if humble, then if unselfsh, then
if loving, the soul shall leave the body, and by
the hottest of spiritual help be led into life, the
real life Of it's nature. which is harmony with
God and His law, and harmony complete and
absolute with itself Man is immortal believe it!
Man is immortal preach it! Man is immortal,
live it."
