PHYSIOLOGIST DENIES
THAT SOUL Will LIVE
No More Immortal Than the Body
Declares Professor Verworn.

Philadelphia.-Professor Max Yer
worn of the University of Bonn, Ger
many, celebrated as a physiologist,
told seven faculty men and medical
students of the University of Pennsyl-
vania that the individual soul is no
more immortal than the individual
body.
He delivered the lecture at the med
ical school, most of his audience be-
ing Christians. To them the German
scholar held no hope for a life after
death as individuals or incorporea
souls. He said the only continuance
of life after death would be in the
form of deeds that earthly life leaves
behind.

discussion Of the cerbreal cells which
he used to combat the Christian belief
IN the Immortality of the soul.
