DR.. Parkhurst Writes on Immortality
Many Hope Death End of ALL but Deep Thinkers Believe This
Is Only the Beginning of a Future and Better Life

TTOWEVER occupied people
may be with the affairs of
this life, there are few, if
any who do not sometimes throw
their thoughts forward toward a
possible life to come. 1t is safe to
say that there is more of this fore
casting of another world than has
outward expression given to it.
A few are hoping that there is
nothing more for them after death,
being more than satisfied with
what they have had already. Some
simply brood over the possibiH-
ties of immortality wonderingly.
The most, by far the most are
trusting that the few years we pass
here are nothing more than the
beginning of life, its vestibule,
feeling that conditions, as they ex-
list now require something addi-
tional in order to their explana-
tons and justification.
1t is probable that there is less
general belief in immortality than
there was fifty years ago. When a
boy, as l remember it, a man who
expressed doubt in the doctrine
was regarded as queer, as a mental
and moral defective Nothing, so
far as appears, has In the mean
time been discovered to invalidate
the doctrine, and the change that
has transpired in mems opinions is
considerably due to the attitude of
the scientists.

Sorrows Will Come Until
You Learn Sympathy
and Compassion.

Just as the scholar who has not
learned his lessons at school is
given the same lessons over and
over again, so will you be given
sorrow after sorrow and trouble
after trouble, until you learn the
great lesson Of sympathy and com
passion.
First Of all in thinking of your
misfortunes, remember you have
brought them on yourself Not in
this life, perhaps, but in former
lives. We have all lived many
lives; and by our thoughts and
deeds and desires we have fash
Toned our bodies and our circum-
stances.
If in other lives you were
wasteful and selfish and IMPROVE
dent and idle, you come into this
life poor and without friends or
influence.
II is simply your life lesson of
self-development given you again
to learn. Industry, self-control,
economy, are the next lessons.
By patient persistence you viii
learn them all; and then indie
pendence and usefulness and hap
piness will be yours.
If you did not appreciate love
and affection In your last incarna-
ton you will be deprived Of these
blessings for a time in this life;
but If you give freely, even
though you do not receive, and if
you develop every loving impulse,
and ask for no return, and If you
refuse to think of your misfor-
tunes, and persist in thinking of
your great privilege in being al
lowed to do for others, then love

or any special qualification or
equipment for investigating.
A man who knows one thing with
considerable thoroughnoss is liable
to imagine that large value there
fore attaches TO his opinion upon
other matters. however distinct
they may be from the particular
subject upon which he is specially
informed.
That states the precise condition
of mind of certain Investigators
who have accomplished distin-
guished results in their study of
matter, and who therefore consider
that they are authorities upon
questions of mind, spirit and i'm
mortality. Which is as unreason-
ing as for a mathematical genius
to claim that because he is an
adept in questions of quantity his
opinion should therefore carry in
problems of art.
What has Just been said is
stated only in different words, by
one of the most distinguished
scientists of our generation, Sir
Oliver Lodge, a man of such emf
nence as to have been elected to
the presidency of the British Asso-
citation, a body which may he de-
fined as the organized scientific
intelligence of the British Empire.
Sir Oliver. whose accomplish
ments in physics and chemistry
have won for him such preferment,
is sufficiently broad in his appre-
Citations to realize that however
far he may have carried his chem,
ical researches, he has not thereby
been brought across the frontier
of the territory of mind and con-
seriousness: that the principles and
methods applicable to the study of
matter do not apply TO questions
Of soul and religion, so that the
negative attitude which a scientist,
as such, may occupy as toward
soul, God and Immortality has no
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-09-29

firm believer in the great invisible
world and in the God who is en-
throned in it, as is evidenced by
the two subjOined quotations from
his superb address:
1T is my function to remind you
and myself that our studies do not
exhaust the universe, and that If
we dOgmatize in negative direc-
ton, and say that we can reduce
everything to physics and chem
istry, we gibbet ourselves as ludi-
crously narrow pedants, and are
falling far short of the richness
and fullness of our human birth
right.
How far preferable is the rev.
erent attitude of the Eastern poet:
The world with eyes bent upon
Thy feet stands in awe with all its
silent stars
We are deaf and blind, there
fore, to the imminent grandeur
around us unless we have insight
enough to appreciate the whole,
and to recognize in the woven
fabric of existence, flowing steadi-
ly from the loom in an infinite
progress toward perfection, the
ever-growing garment of a tran
sCendent God"

VoU who complain bitterly OF
I your troubles and sorrows
turn your gaze inward for
a time and see what these expe-
riences have done for you.
Are you not stronger in soul,
Drawer in mind, and more self
reliant because of your misfor-
tunes?
Have you not a deeper under
standing Of human nature, and
larger sympathy for your fellow
men through having known trou-
BILE?
If you ask yourself these ques-
lions, and If you answer in the
negative then rest assured more
trouble will be sent you.

Address Is Practically
a Rebuke to His
Colleagues.

The address is practically a re-
buke to some OF his colleagues for
failing to realize that mind is not
matter, and that so essential is the
difference between them that the
pursuit of scientific methods Of in
Quiry will not carry them into the
region of mind, and that for them
to deny the existence of world
above matter, because they have
been able to achieve so much in
the world that is within matter
without discovering in it a soul
or a God, is a bare presumption
and the exercise of intellectual ar
rogance.
Such a deliverance from so
great an authority is a serious
matter, and l wish the readers of
this newspaper would give earnest
attention to the contents of this
article, for it has been written
with view TO rebuking and cor
recting the careless and thought
less thinking, of which there is so
much, even among intelligent peo-
pie, and that, too, in regard to
questions that are of the utmost
moment
1t would not be fair to the truth
nor to Sir Oliver Lodge to close
this article without adding that
while he has not arrived at his con-
vicuons, regarding things which
eye hath not seen, by the pursuit
of scientific methods, he is never
theless, and on other grounds, a

In the midst of this uncertainty the
Michigan railroad began secretly to
undermine the Steel City, that hither-
to impregnabie fortress of the rival
monarch. And John Dunmeade's an
nouncement was made that, whether
renominated as district attorney or not,
he would be a candidate, anti-Sherrod
and anti-Murchell, for the guberna-
torlal nomination. Jerry Brent was al
ready well into a campaign for the OPP

length, after protracted struggle with
herself, her heart relented. She filed
basket with homemade comestibles
designed to tempt the appetite of the
most jaded invalid. This basket on
her arm, she set out, on a day when
the March wind clustered and stung
her face, toward Murchell's home.
She found Murchell reading before
an open fire, his cheeks slightly pale
and sunken, but his eyes clear and
bright. He rose, with an ease that
did not betoken approaching dissolu-
ton, to relieve her of the basket, shak-
ing hands warmly.

did you expect, at your time of life?'
He thought it wise to change the

basket.
"Why! Did you bring all these for

full of you"
81 guess you don't need them. Pre-
tending to be sick to get peoples sym
pathy because you've been beaten"
He smiled, not in amusement, at her
asperity. Its like you to cover up
kind act with sharp words. What
an escape the men had that you
wouldn't marryw
"There weren't any to escape"
Eyes, there were. I remember that.
You were what they call a beauty,
weren't you? Why" he asked In sud
Ien curiosity, didn't you marry some
Dne of them?"
Because" she said simply, ''you
were too busy being in love with Anne
Dunmeade to notice me-"
"Eh? I-why, Roberta" He stared at
her blankly. Then his manner quickly
softened. She perceived the change
and drew herself up even more stiffiy,
If that were possible. Her lips straight
ened in a severe, thin line.
"You needn't be sorry for me. l
have been glad | escaped, ever since
found out the kind of man you were.
I'd have made man out of you"
Il guess he smiled grimly, you'd
have found it hard job, as you seem
to measure men. But l guess you
could have, if any one could"
She turned on him in a little unex-
pected gust of fierceness. But not
the kind of man you are! Not a cow
ard to quit fighting the very first
time you are beaten. 1 thought you
were one when you left your regiment
before Gettysburg, but l excused you
on the plea that we needed men at
home too. But now Her unfinish-
ed sentence was eloquent.
His astonishment was genuine. "Eh!
1 believed you thought me bad man.
You ought to be glad was beaten"
"But John says you're better man
than Sherrod."
"Only," Murchell amended, shrewdly
guessing, "he put it that Sherrod is a
worse man than L am, didn't he?
don't believe I'm a coward. A few
