LIFE AND DEATH.


the all-important one by the Babylonians,
and their religion bears witness to this con-
ception. The deities to whom prayers are
addressed are looked upon as gods of the liv-
ing and not of the dead The petitions to the
gods, such as We frd in the cuneiform litera-
ture, are concerned almost exclusively with
earthly blessings The kings ask for long
life, for sound health, for victory over their
enemies, for a numerous offspring, and for
an uninterrupted rule of their dynasty. With
death the favor of the gods was supposed to
cease and all relations between man and deity
came to an end. The Babylonians re-echoed
the sentiments of the Psalmist that 'the dead
do not praise Jah." Although the most recent
excavations in the mounds of Babylon would
seem to have established it beyond any reason
able doubt that the Babylonians in very early
days already burned their dead, still the testi-
mony Of language points to burial in the
earth as the other form of djsposing of them
1t is on this supposition alone that we can
account for the survival in late cuneiform
literature of such phrases as MAY he have no
burial which continued to be about as severe
/ curse as could be hurled against an enemy,
and is in itself sufficient to show that the wei
!
| for them, depended upon the proper observ-
ance of funeral rites.
The practice of placing food and drink on
the graves, which is found among so many
nations of antiquity, and has survived to our
own days in China, Russia and other coun-
tries, also existed among the Babylonians. 1t
has its origin no doubt in the belief that the
dead have need of these articles but the Gus
tom continued to be observed long after this
belief had died out. Even the introduction
of cremation brought about no change, foI
| with the charred remains of human bodies
discovered under the mounds there have beer
found the still recognizable traces of food

BABYL0NiAN BELIEF
CONCERNING THE MYSTERIES OF
THE LIFE AFTER DEATH.
Dr.. Jerer1ias' ResearcheS-''The Land from
Which There Is No Return Pictured as
Funeral Rites.

Dr.. Jeremias sets forth the conceptions
which were current several thousand years
ago among the inhabitants of Mesopotamis
regarding the fate of the dead He has col
lected with commendable diligence the i'm
portant references in the Babylono- Assyrian
literature bearing on this subject Without
claiming TO have exhausted the topic, he has
produced work which must be regarded as
thoroughly trustworthy-a merit by no
means so common in the works of Assyriolo-
gists as not to call for special mention.

LIE NEAHEh AA1-flOAS
According TO the Babylonians, there was
only one path which all mankind had to
tread after death. Deep in the bowels of the
earth, underneath a huge mountain known
as the Mountain of the Universe" which
was supposed to be situated in the distant
north, lay the place where the dead were
gathered. Separated from the land of the
living BY the waters of death" there was
no hope for those who once entered it of ever
retracing their steps 1t was therefore ap-
propriately termed among other names ''the
land from which there is no RETURN The
land was pictured as dark and cherries; the
inhabitants. far from being content with
their lot were supposed to be longing for a
sight Of the upper world again. There are
no indications that the Babylonians looked
upon death as deliverer from evils. On the
contrary, the day of death was to them a
day Of sorro7," and the dead themselves
are represented as bewailing their fate
The moment that the deceased reaches the
shores of the netNer world his coming is an
| nounced to Nergal, the ruler of these regions.
de is then conducted through seven gates, al
each OF which he is obliged to lay aside a
portion Of his clothing, until, having happily

ease and privations of all kinds rob him OF

dwell in q place of darkness, with dust as
their food and with no pleasures to cheer
their spirits. o, ly the few favorites of the

came that deafening, inconsistent cry of the
people, Long live Louis! Long live the
well beloved" He, too, would haye Joined
in that cry had Runa been near.
The man who carries within him love of
| scientific investigation and sympathy with
nature in all lbs varying phases is seldom at a
loss for compromising, He towers above
the great mass of humanity even as the oak
above the striplings Of the forest. To him
! all things are voiced spirits; the trees, the
stars, the birds, the flowers; the ocean when
dashed by the storm god; the rivulet that
sings along its hidden path; the grandest and
most minute objects touch a responsive
| chord in his sympathetic soul, raising him
as it were above himself, causing him ever
to feel the mysterious omnipresence and ON
njscience Of the Author of all Such O one
was the Chevalier de st. Gervaise To him
nature was a vast book, stamped with the
| signature Of the Creator, and Runa was its
fairest page. He now felt as though he had
been reading beautiful chapter, and coming
! to the most interesting portion found the
leaf missing
He wandered along and from sheer jnabil-
ity to think or to act, followed the course of
bird winging its flight aloft Presently
again his eyes turned earthward and there,
advancing through the wood, still in the
white robe in which he had first seen her,
with her dark hair floating around her and
the golden sun upon her bosom, was Runa.
How long she had been there, how escaped
from her companions and evaded the vigil
ance of the French guards, he paused not to
query. He only knew that she was there
and he fastened joyously to meet her She
fell at his feet with one cry, The earth has
no home for the Peruvian maidr'
And he answered, 'Runa, thou art beauti
full as the rainbow, thou art fair as the sun
rise, and my heart throbs for thee, and my
spirit bids me tell thee that in this bosom
thou shalt find homer
He bent to raise her, but she moved not
he felt her pulse, it was still; he placed hi
hand above her heart, it futtered an instan
and then ceased to beat.
What followed became part Of the his
tory of the country. Louis again repudiatet
