Disbelieves in Immortality.

To the Editor:
have read the opinion OF several readers con-
corning Immortality, and am greatly interested In
this theme. venture to give my own opinion
1t is my nrm belief that Immortality Is an impos-
sibility. for where have we assurance Of its
existence? Neither In science nor anywhere else.
Man is-following Darwins theory--derved from
animal. A. such, or rather. as merely an i'm
provement Of such, he naturally dies as such.
Now the animal is mortal. from fly to elephant.
Why not man also? Should he have the prefer
ence Of immortality because his Intellectual facul-
ties are OF higher degree OF development? 1t
appears improbable and unjust. Further, II man
life and soul are born with his body at his birth
II seems only reasonable and clear that the soul
should 20 out Of existence again with body and
life after death. as they had been before his
birth. AZ for myself. am content to leave ex-
istencs like any uninteliiEent animal. and do no,
wish for an after-lfe In fact. It Is more consol-
ing to my mind TO think that there will be no soul
to be put to trial for any wrong the body may
have committed during his travel on earth than
to think the soul will have to suffer for all that
To create this fear Of after punishment seems to
be the sole aim OF the doctrine OF Immortality.
Why? Because q man will hesitate shining II he
| considers the imagined consequences.
