ms EPITAPH "THOU FOOL"

Thou fool. this night thy soul shall be
required of thee" was Mr. Moodys text
i'm the Music Hail. New York, last Sunday
morning. why did God call this man a
fool?" asked the preacher. He was not
drrunkard, for the record says he was en-
larging his brains. He wasn't a bad man;
he did not speculate in stocks and rob the
widow He did not pay five cents on the
dollar. We are not told that he took
brides or was a gambler. He was an hon
orable man. and probably would have been
president Of an electric road if it ran up the
valley. He probably would have been in
Congress if there had been a Congress
then.
"The mistake he made was this. He only
planned from the cradle TO the grave.
Man is made for something better than
this world. This man lived only for the
world. and the worlds verdict was. Great
merchant great monument Then the
angel wrote his epitah in one word-'Fool.'
The reason he was a fool was because he
lived only for himself The current IS
always hurrying US along" he said. ito
another world. whether we Ike It or not,
and shall it be said to you as to the man
in the Gospel. Thou foolT"

Current Religious Thought.
LIFE AFTER DEATH.

President Harper, of the University or
Chicago. spoke last Sunday night at Cen
tral Music Hall on Life After Death
Among the Hebrews" and in the course
of his remarks took occasion 10 hken
the modern spiritualist TO the ancient fol-
lowers of animism. He showed how in
the earliest periods Of Hebrew life the
people leaned toward this belief, but that
they subsequently came out of doubt and
uncertainty and gained the high concep-
ton of God.
President Harper divided the subject Of
his address into FIVE distinct periods ana
gave an exhaustive study of each. He
ikened the development Of the Heore"
nation to the process pursued in the mod
ern laboratory and proceeded with ms
ANALYSIS on those lines. Palestine, he SAID
was the laboratory. Jehovah the instruc-
tor. the children of Israel the pupils and
the prophets the assistants. The Bible
rnicht be Iikened to the laboratory note
book.
The first conception Of after-life. said
the speaker. was probably much the same
as among the kindred nations surrounding
the Jews. He raised the question whether
the belief Of the Hebrews was first born
of superstition or religion. Eventually
the Jehovah religion became dominant.
The idea Of sheol. of the after-life center
ed not in the beginning around the in
diyidual. but around the nation as whole
and it was only in later times that in
dividualism took strong turn. The old
Testament teachers of all classes entirely
ignored the use Of the idea Of life after
death as a motive of conduct, and that re-
ward and retributon came to person
on earth. There was an absence in the
belief of angels. but a peculiarly high
conception Of God.

County Teachers Meet.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
King County Teachers Association was
held yesterday, as announced. in Denny
hall at the university. The selection of
place OF meeting was not the result OF
chance but OF careful forethought on the
part OF Supt Meredith, who has for
some time been aiming TO bring about
better acquaintance between the teach
ers OF the county and the university.
Despite the inclement weather there
was good attendance. the exercises were
thoroughly enjoyable and the teachers
seemed 10 enjoy their visit TO the campus
as much as the faculty Of the university
did in playing the part OF host.
Prof Hartranft read a paper on '"Tha
Newspaper in the Schoolroom;" DIR. Boil
ton lecIu:ed on Imitation" the lecture
being one In a series on child study
which he Is giving consecutively at sue
