Rev. DR.. Rose on Immortality.
"Faith the Final Basis of the Belief ir
Immortality" was discussed by Rev
Henry r. Rose at the Church of the
Redeemer. He said in part:
Reason goes a long way toward a belief
in a life hereafter, but stops. No one
can believe in Immortality by reason
alone: no one need expect to be convinced
of a life beyond the grave by logical
reasoning alone. Faith is the final basis
of belief in a continued life. and faith
In the promises and the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ. II q man cannot have his
faith In Jesus he might as well cease try
ing to believe in a life beyond, unless
some other kind of faith supplies him
with its vision.
We are like explorers in new world
We come to the sea and there we stand
looking across, wondering what lies be-
is land there as there is land where we
are standing. Then it is that Jesus comes
across the sea and assures us that when
we cross We shall enter heaven. He was
the one man in history who was able to
see Into heaven as well as earth and
who conquered death. Christianity is a
supernatural religion. 1t declares that the
things not seen are the eternal things
The life hnVnn6 is pOull life n
is to be state of inequality, for we do
not drop our character at the grave, we
only drop our body; The, man who has
a par with the man who has made much.
but each man will continue to grow there
as all men ought to keep on growing here.
There will be no punishment in hell, for
there Is no hell. The only hell is the
hell within a man, which comes from an
outraged conscience and a sense of oppor-
tunities frittered away, But, each man
will come TO himself and finally return 70
his Father for Christ must search until
He has found the last lost sheep.
An interesting address was preached
on eternal life at the Third Presbyte-
rian Church yesterday by Rev. DR..
Robert Scott Inglis. He said in part:
One of the dangers confronting the Chris
tian Church today is the recognition or the
but the negation of His teachings as ap-
piled to eternal life, the recognition of the
ethics, but the denial of the eternity OF
Jesus. What a conflict has ever waged
about the resurrection!
st. Paurs matchless argument, and IN
answerable, Is this: That II Christ be not
risen there Is no hope for us.
Hope is only as permanent as its OBJ
ject: ours is an eternal hope. The late
Admiral Evans IN writing Of the destruc-
tion of the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya said
Captain Eulate slowly Strengthened
himself up with an effort, unbuckled his
sword belt. kissed the hilt Of the sword
and with graceful bow presented 1t to
me. / declined the sword but accepted
the surrender OF himself. Taking the
captains arm, l conducted him aft to the
cabin. where medical officers were walt
ing to dress his wounds. That he loved
his ship no one could doubt. His distress
was touching. He turned and. stretching
up his right hand. exclaimed 'Adois,
Vizcayar AS the last words left his lips
the magazines exploded with a tre-
mendous roar"
Eulate babe adieu to false hope. If
Christ has not risen Christianity sooner or
later must bid adieu to a false hope
"Adios, Jesui" "Adios, SALVATORE But 1t
is not so for with st. Paul q thousand
times ten thousand are today singing the
faith
