Another ..La.t word,, ON Eternit:

Another SLast WORD, on NtefhhtS'
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In reference to the article which ap-
peared in Mondays Morning and Eve
ming STARS, under the headlines OF
Man Deathless," etc, I would like to
say a few words. In the first place,
let me say this article is not intended
as q defense for Mr.. Edison's views, as
I am quite sure he is perfectly able to
defend his own arguments. The state
ment is made that it is refutation
where, as far as I am able 10 discern,
1t is no more than a criticism. l think
DR.. Rose forgets all about sermon he
preached on February IS last; subject,
THE New Heaven and Earth" wherein
he goes over the history of the human
race, along scientific lines, and cordial
Iy agrees with the Darwinian theory
Not only that, he fiouts the story OF
creation as laid down in Genesis, the
Biblical age of the earth and the age
OF man, the habitable universe, the
stationary position of the earth. etc.
All this he fiouts and eulogizes Darwin
and his theory of the descent of man.
In his sermon of Sunday last he de-
plores the position and condition that
Charles Darwin placed himself in whom
he became a specialist, an investigator
of the origin and phenomena of life,
but let me say that IL Charles OAR
win had not given himself up wholly
and entirely to his calling we probably
would not to this day have either the
origin of species or the descent OF man.
The article states that DR.. Rose an
swered the question, when the brain
dies does man cease?" Now, this is an
ambiguous question. The question to
be answered is, Does man retain his
identity after death?' That is the real
question which most people wish an
swered, although / rarely hear the
question put that way. For II it Is
asked in any other way it will only be
a sharp question answered adroitly, as
this one claims to be answered.
II man does not retain his identity
after death-and science says he does
not-what difference does it make to
him whether he goes into oblivion
when he dies or whether he only
changes form, which we know posi-
lively he does on the basis that matter
is indestructible. Another thing
want to emphasize is the statement
that the tendency OF the scientific
world today is to believe that the
mind comes first and the brain and
body afterward 1 cannot, for the life
of me, see how anyone can fail to side
with the leading biologists who say
that the brain follows the nervous sys-
tenn and the mind follows the brain
for without brain. the storehouse Of the

Despite its proverbial desire to be ac-
counted greatest" in all manner of
conditions and activities, New York
win doubtless not relish the statement
of an expert statistician that 1t ''has a
higher death rate than any of the great
cities of the world except Tokyo" This
forms a record which oven the most
rabid member of the three million
club of Chicago would not think of
contesting. But, granting the correct
ness of the statisticians deduction, 1t
must not be assumed that the metropo-
lis as whole, is unsanitary. An
analysis of the returns would probably
show that conditions in the congested
districts are responsible for the appall-
ing showing. This fact once estab
