DOGS SoULLESS, SAYS ABBOTT
CLERGYMAN-EDI EXPOUNDS
IDEAS ON IMMORTALITY.
Also as to Evolution-And Then De-
fines Hereafter Above and Below
as he Sees Them.

NEW YORK, December 2S.-"Do dogs
have souls?"
This was a question put by man in
the audience at Cooper Union last night
to DIR. Lyman Abbott, after the latter
had explained his conception of immor-
tally.
Dr. Abbott thought moment, and then
replied:
Il don't believe that dogs have souls
There is a sharp distinction between ami
NAL life and human life. Where there
is a life without faith and love, such as
human being possesses, there can be
no SOUL
During the course of his address DR..
Abbott said that he believed in evolution,
and told how through the ages the germ
of life had developed by a long process Of
growth. into the human being.
Genesis q Divine Poem.
Then how do you reconcile evolution
with the first chapter Of Genesis?" asked
another inquirer.
II consider this chapter" replied the
doctor, "a divine poem, no more to be
interpreted scientifically than Mntons
Paradise Lost. :"
Then a youth arose in the audience and
declared that as most Of his time was
spent on earth in work, he would like to
know what were his prospects of a job in
the next world. DIR. Abbott confessed he
did not know.
DIR. Abbott started in by saying that he
thought Immortality could not be scen-
titically demonstrated. The burden of
proof, he said, was on those who would
disprove it anyway, as the Prescriptions
were all the other way.
when the soul gets too big for its in
teguments," he continued, then comes
death; the outworn integument drops and
the spirit goes into some realm we can
not comprehend.
There is no such thing IS eternal sleep.
They we call dead are living. Whether
they are within the sound of our voices
or not, they are living. Why was this
germ of life developed? To make
graveyard? / do not believe so. There
must be larger, fuller life after this
one
Regarding the Resurrection.
Asked whether he believed in the resur-
rection of the body. DR.. Abbott declared
he believed resurrection was merely the
upspringing of the spirit from the body,
in what form he could not say.
II am sure l don't want my BODY he
exclaimed, after / am dead. 1 want a
better one" Then he continued:
The resurrection of Christ was not an
extraordinary event, merely an eXtraor-
binary instance of an ordinary event. In
made OFFICIALLY manifest to His disciples.
but l do not believe He was resurrected
in the body. He was resurrected in me
same way as your dead husband, brother
or wife,
DR.. Abbott then gave his opinion OF
hell:
II would rather be mortal and have the
right to immortality than to be immortal
and not deserve it. He'll to me would be
TO live with people forever who had the
right to Immortality, while l had i'm
mortality but did not deserve it."
