not possess the intellectual capacity
to associate these phenomena with
any set of political conditions which
might be changed by action of the
people. Russia has not awakened to
community consciousness. Russia
as whole does not realize that there
is any alternative; she would not
know what to do without czar and
a clique of grand dukes.
This Is in one way a tremendous
obstacle to revolution. On the other

ty of sin. So in homily and hymn
Death was pictured as an avenger
come to inflict the extreme penalty.
But the modern view is more. sane
and happy. According to it death is
not penalty at all. 1t iuhered in
the original constitution of the world
before there was either man or sin.
1t is part of the beDeficent plan of
infinite goodness. Death is not an
avenger, but an angel, tall and beau
tiful, Gods usher TO the fuller life
Conviction of immortality is not,
however, result of logic. Arguments,
however skillfully formed. convince
the smallest possible number. This
is rather matter of institution 1t
is sensed by the soul. The monologue
of faith runs this way The craving
of my lower senses is satisfied ,by my
Maker. There is light for eye, melo-
dy for ear, fragrance for nostril. But
my masterful craving Is for life-to
live, to live forever. He who satisfies
the lower cravings will not disap.
point the highest. He who gives
light to eve will give life to spirit.
The goodness of God is the pledge
that the sense for Immortality will be
satisfied.
The sepulcher in the garden is then
no blind allev. 1t is an open thor
Oughfare, vocal and radiant with i'm
mortality. Instead of marring the
garden, it is, from this point of view,
its chief ornament.
