DisbcIieves In Immortality.

To the Editor:
have read the opinion OF several readers con-
corning Immortality. and am greatly interested In
this theme. l venture TO give my own opinion.
II is my hrm belief that Immortality Is an impos-
ability, for where have we an assurance Of Its
cXistcuce7 Neither in science nor anywhere else.
Man Is-fUlowing Darwins theory-derived from
animal. AS such, or rather, merely an i'm
proyement Of such, he naturally dies as ouch.
Now the animal Is mortal from rs to elephant.
Why not also? Should he have the prefer
OF Immortality because his intellectual tacul-
ties are OF higher degree OF Development II
appears improbable aud uniu.t. Further. IL man
life and soul are born with his body at his birth.
1t seems only reasonable and clear that the sou
should 60 out OF existence again with body and
life after death. as they had been before hi,
birth. AS for myself, am content TO leave ex,
istence like any unntellgent animal and do mo-
with for an aster-life. In fact, It Is more conso
ing to my mind to think that there will be no SOU
TO be put to trial for any wrong the body ma!
have committed during his travel earth thar
to think tho soul will have to suffer for all that
To create this fear OF Accomplishment seems t
| be the sole aim OF the doctrine OF immortality
| Why? Because man will hesitate SHINING II b
considers the imagined consequences.
