The inspired writer Isaiah portrays a
future paradise for animals analogous
to the Garden OF Eden before the fall.
st. John in Revelations gives us to I'M
derstand that there are thousands of anil
mails in heaven. St. Peter says that
through Christ there shall be restitution
OF all things" st. Paul in the eighth chap
ter of Romans makes a statement, which
has been interpreted by some of the best
theological scholars the world has ever
produced, to mean that animals suffered
equally with man in the fall and will be
restored through the redemption made by
Christ, 1t seems to be impossible to empty
these words of their plain significance.
John Wesley said: Nothing can be more
plainly expressed. Away with vulgar preju-
dice. and let the plain Word Of God take
its place. Animals shall be delivered from
the bondage of corruption into the liberty
Of redemption" A grand thought, that
"In the fullness OF time God might gather
together in one all things in Christ both
which are in heaven and which are on
earth For the earnest expectation
OF the creature (animals) waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God &.
For as in Adam all die even so in Christ
shall all be made alive"
Many persons OF prominence have argued
that animals would enjoy Immortality.
Prof. Louis Agassiz says: "1n some In
comprehensive way, God Almighty has
created these beings, and I cannot doubt
Of their Immortality any more than can
doubt of my own"
George Eliot in ''Mddlemarch" says: II
like 70 think that the animals about us
have souls something like our own"
Orlando ]. Smith in "Eternalism" says:
gtrf-t.- hot mir
soulless is plainly untenable. If man be
immortal, all other forms of life must also
be immortal"
Canon Wherefore, in an eloquent speech,
expressed the opinion that 'in the great
eternal world men and animals sink or
swim together"
Mrs. Mary Somerville says: II firmly be-
lieve that the living principle is never ex-
tlnguished. am sincerely happy to find
that am not the only believer in the i'm
mortality of animals"
The Rev. ]. G. Wood >says: 81 feel sure
that they will have the opportunity Of de-
veloping their latent faculties in the next
world"
Canon Carter declares: 1.-THE lower ami
mails are not to be destroyed, but, after
their manner according to their kind, Will
be restored"
DR.. Edward B. Pussy, Bishop Butler, Rev.
Dr. Joseph Cook, DR.. Adam Clark, George
T. Angel, president Of the American HUI
name Education society, DR.. John Fulton
of New York, and a host of others whose
works entltle their utterances to be good
authority, have advocated the humane doc
trine OF the perpetuation of all animal life.

Teachings of Theology.

Modern theology teaches that. in the case
OF man, the life potency does not decay
with the body. but finding that the body is
no longer a suitable residence it assumes
new functions that are governed by the
immaterial universe and is conveyed to
some future place OF perpetual existence.
Now, IL this is the destiny of man, what
becomes OF that mysterious life potency of
an animal at the dissolution of the body?
There is that same visible difference be-
tween mind and matter in lower animals
as there is in man. Scientists agree that
force is an immortal essence and forms
substantial entity which Is indstructible.
Everything which is immaterial forms an
attribute Of God and must be immortal.
Force is an immaterial principle and con-
sequently vital force. mental force and all
other faculties OF the mind must be inn
mortal and belong to all animal life, Force
"a the propelling power Of the soul-lfe. 1t
s manifested by the Divine will conse-
luently no living being without the aid of
tome vital force superior to chemical and
mechanical force can live. Vital force con-

Old Question of Immortality of Animals

OHE question, are animals immortal?
is as old as the question: is man
immortal7 Traces Of a belief in
both can be found in the very
49, earliest history OF mankind. Man
being especially interested in the perpetual
ton OF his own existence, has almost lost
sight Of the fact that lower animals have
the same assurance OF Immortality, and Is
supported by the same logical reasons.
When we deal In historical and scientific
facts, It is not a question OF what our pre-
conceived opinions may be, or what we
may prefer to believe. but what is the
evidence for such belief.
Does natural and revealed theology afford
sufhcient evidence to warrant the belief
that the destruction OF the body is not the
destruction of the vital essence that gives
Il life?
Since the dawn Of civilization man has
believed himself to be immortal, and we
will concede that he is without an argu-
ment.
What 1 contend for is that the same
analogy Of logic that can be adduced to
prove the Immortality Of man will apply
equally to lower animals
That man and lower animals are dual
beings possessing a double organism, the
one structure being corporal, visible, and
tangible the other incorporal, invisible and
intangible is an assumption that cannot be
disproved. Man besides being man, In
geological sense Is an animal. Matter and
mind exist in both, and though there may
be a difference in degree there is no diff
ference in kind. In proportion. as the func-
lions or relations are more or less perfect,
man and lower animals ascend and descend
in the scale of existence, but mind and
matter exist I'm all alike. Modern scientists
advocate the theory that ell the germs
Of the moral and mental faculties Of man
are contained in the lower animals, and
that the vital force, which theologians
call soul, is as much a part of lower
animals as OF man. All were created from
the same chemical elements, received the
same kind OF breath Of life, and are gov
erned by the same physical and mental
laws. When the gross matter. called body,
Is freed from the life essence, the laws of
chemistry, hitherto held in subsection by a
superior control, assert their authority, and
the whole visible system falls a prey to
corruption and decay This is the final
result of all living beings. But what be-
comes OF that life essence?

are used in reference to animals. It gives
them souls the same as man. l could give
a long list OF great theologians who frankly
admit the correctness Of such interpreta-
ton. II is no long a secret that the
translators Of the Bible. through indif-
florence and prejudice failed to give poor
fallen animals the benefit Of true rem
dering of many words. But enough Is
properly translated to show that "the ten

HIS wish.

The following colloquy actually occurred
during one Of the earlier battles in the
Philippines. A detachment OF American in
fantry, under orders to support a section
OF Captain Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly fiat military
road in full view and fine range of the
Filipino trenches. OF course, to lie fiat
on the road was the only available use OF
cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman who
had served his time with the colors in the
British army before he enlisted with Uncle
Sam. AS a recruit he had been very prone
to tell how the British soldiers did every
thing. AS result he was necessarily
piled with questions as to his experiences.

Equal Chance for Eternal Life.


The greatest philosopher and the most
degraded heather; the brightest intellect
and the most repulsive idiot; the most in
telligent animal of the highest species, and
the most inert Of the lowest species, have
an equal chance for eternal life. Theology
teaches that heather, idiots and children
are saved by reason of the fact that in
them the purposes Of God have never been
fulfilled and the responsibility for action
never reached. This win apply equally as
we'll 70 lower animals.
In either case, II the mind ever becomes
sufficiently developed TO enjoy future
existence, 1t must undergo a spiritual
growth in the future life. In the highest
attainments of man there Is still an I'M
developed capacity that would make him
an infant as compared with the heavenly
hierarchy.
Therefore II is reasonable to conclude
that all beings are in an embryotic condi-
ton and require another life to complete
their permanent existence. As there is
no waste i'm nature and all beings are en-
dowed with certain abilities and capacities
for life and happiness, IL by any cause
such endowment cannot be realized in
this life, then there must be future state
in order that the purposes of God may be
fulfilled.
When God created lower animals and
man and pronounced them very good" It
It is obvious He was looking through and
beyond the intermediate state to the ulti-
mate purposes Of creation in the final re-
demption OF all created things. Is it in
accordance with what we see and know of
the nature of God to suppose He would
give to some Of His innocent creatures
eternal life and doom others to an eternal
humiliation, when Solomon says, They
have all one breath; so that man hath
no pre-eminence above a beast?
