The idea of immortality ia !, 49,.
into my whole nature lit is a. "s.0nti

2. Every argument for the er,sts,..

| This problem has been raised since Il.
mainly entered upon the very thfeshsi
of thought, and its solution has rot a.
vanced one step during these THOUSAND, a
years. Science says. II do not know
Religion says, Il believe in a hereafter
f?ead the annals Of history. or enter susu
the tribes not yet emerged from syassr,
and you will find no tribe OF hunsrIt
without that belief. Whether the lrdI,,l
dream of happy hunting groundsr a
the Buddhist speculates on the mysters
of Nirvana-it is merely variatcn n
the same musical theme.
The idea, nay, the sense, OF mmoratr
is as innate in man as the sense Of h..
mory cut OF which the art Of music Is ~
veloped, different In its appearance II,
ccrdance to the culture of each p,cs'
and age; innate as is the sense Of ags
and effect out of which science rises h
higher and higher peaks of knowledEi
innate as Is the conscience Of the eIk,
ence of a Supreme Being, bare Of VIII.
no tribe has yet been nat With. ~
sense of Immortality is virtually The sxI
of harmony, the same in music, The az
in the intellectual and moral world vi
ear rebels against discord in sounds III
heart is Jared by discord In human y.
and It's manifestations. And this M
without a hereafter is the discord Of 4,
spair.
What is death in Biblical Itsratrr'l
1t is a harvest. the fruits OF life h.f'
gathered in. 1t is the signal knel "
eventide calling homeward the mock ns;l
the pasture field. 1t is the being urfal
with ones fathers. These figures Of spnal
are scattered all over the pages q Y.
Bible. Here you find the flowers q ~
mortality blooming in splendor and ri
| lasting freshness.
