Is Human Life Immortal ?
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


Lowell, in one of his sonnets. sings
these words into the ears of hope:
The longing to be SO helps make the
soul immortal. With this longing in
their hearts men have stood dumb be-
fore what they called the mystery of
death. not stopping to think that life
itself is round of mysteries. In the
midst of all the hoping and question
ing, desire for proof more direct and
reasons more rational than theolo-
gians and metaphysicians have de-
vised has possessed the minds of men.
The whole matter has been made
freshly pertinent by the recent address
Of Sir Oliver Lodge before the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science. This celebrated investigator
and thinker. who is in no sense reli-
gious enthusiast spiritual dreamer
affirms that real science is not antago-
nistic to the theory of the continuity
of life. and may even furnish evidence
more logical and more scientific than
any religious school has conceived 1t
is Sir divers contention that the ether
of space Is the great engine of con-
tinuity.' Be that as it may, he re-
pudiates that negative dogmatism which
limits the operation of law to mere mat
ter. visible or invisible Sir Oliver
makes no pretense to have taken the
belief in immortality out of the domain
of faith and transferred it to the realm
of absolute. exact knowledge. The time
