LIFE AND DEATH,

The present life was accordingly considered
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 fipd 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 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 Babyloniaus 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 Babylonans 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 diSpoSing of them
1t is on this superstition 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
q curse as could be h2rled against an enemy,
and is in itself sufficient to show that the wei
fare Of the dead, little as there was in store
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 III 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, for
with the charred remains of human bodies
discovered under the mounds there have been
found the still recognizable traces of food.
DR. Jeremias dismisscs this portion Of his
subject, regarding the funeral rites of the
Babylonians and Assyrians, with few re-
plarks-New York Times Book Review.

BABYLONIAN BELIEF
CONCERNING THE MYSTERIES OF
THE LIFE AFTER DEATH.

DR.. Jerenias' Researches-''The Land nom
Which There Is No Return Pictured a.
Dark and Cheerless-The Present Life.
Funeral Rites.
Dr. Jeremias sets forth the conceptions
which were current several thousand years
ago among the inhabitants OF Mesopotamia
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
THE NEITHER REGIONS.
According to the Babyionians, there was
only one path which all mankind had to
tread after death. Deep in the bowels Of the
earth, underneath 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. It 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
sight of the upper world again There are
no indications that the Babylonians looked
upon death as delivercr from evils. On the
contrary, the day of death was to them
day Of sorrow" and the dead themselves
are represented as bewailing their fate
The moment that the deceased reaches the
shores of the neither world his coming is am
nounced to Nergal, the ruler of these regions
He IS then conducted through seven gates. a.
each Of which he is obliged to lay aside
portion of his clothing, until, having happily
passed the seventh gate, he stands naked be-
fore the Divine Judge. Nergal, and his con-
sort, Allatu. There judgment is pronounced
over him. Namtar, the demon of plaques,
is in readiness to remove the condemned to
place of special toroures where painful dis
ease and privations of al kinds rob him Of
his rest. But even those who escape the ire
of the god are not much better off. They
dwell in place OF darkness, with dust as
their food and with no pleasures to cheer
their spirits. Only the few favorites of the
gods, that is, the popular heroes, were ac-
corded more happy lot. They were re-
moved by special decree to an island
vaguely described as lying at ths ''conflux Of
waters where a seat is assigned to them in
the assenblage of gods and they enjoy eternal
life.

WHY MRS. PARSONS WAS NOT AL
LOWED TO SPEAK

The Chicago police authorities were
doubtless right in preventing Mrs. Par
sons from delivering her Anarchist
speech Wednesday evening. Mrs. Par
sons has been going about like mad
woman. She has given public expression
to the most violent and revolutionary
sentiments She has shown herself to
be the enemy of organized society.
She would perpetuate the doctrines
that led her husband and his misguided
associates to the scalfold. What earthly
good could be subserved by allowing
liberty of speech to professed disorgan-
izer and revolutionist? Freedom of
speech and freedom of the press. 1t is
true, are guaranteed by the Constitution,
but not license to counsel the destruction
of the nation. There must be limit to
all things
Society cannot exist unless it has laws
for its own regulation and government;
and if it have laws it must have officers
to execute them. If the law is wrong
under which the officer acts, repeal the

people with the school of disruptionists

cago what they were leading to. Then
the mailed hand came down with awful
but legal severity. The hepoison had taken
hold in earnest, and the treatment to be
administered must be heroic
And 1t was not the law alone that
spoke, but the voice of the people, which
gave the law q hundred-fold more force
and effectiveness. The confidence OF
the people had been outraged. The hos
pltality that the nation has so generously
extended to the oppressed of all coun
tries had been wantonly insulted. This
