First Presbyterian.
One of the most scholarly sermons |
o which the congregation of the First |
church has had the |
pleasure of listening TO for some time /
vas that preached by Prof Ebert
Russell Sunday night. Prof. Russell |
occupied the pulpit both at the morn |
ng and evening service but for sew |
eral reasons the evening sermon was
effective.
Prof Russell discussed the probable /
ty of life after death and gave three !
great reasons for the belief in a fu /
,ure existence of the soul. The first /
ne set forth as the very instinct in
nan which told him that there was
another existence after death. the sec
md was the belief in the justice of |
God. He dwelt on this topic at some |
ength showing that man generally be- |
ieved that there should be place |
where the unequal distribution of good /
n this world should be atoned for |
The last and most conclusive reason !
Prof. Russell gave as the resurrection I
# Christ. He said without the other |
wo points that the historic fact that |
Christ left the tomb for a spiritual /
life was proof convincing of the inn /
!. 49, of the human soul
Much was added to the days eorvi- /
,es by the beautiful singing Of Easter /
music by the choir under direction of I
Prof. VIII Earhart.
