to have enough to do without this
extra burden. are To be called ulOl
to make a partial enumeration to dis

The States employees were politi-

fact they can expect no mercy. They
may, indeed, have fallen into error,
but that they We're agents Of a con

- The Health Department estimate is
at variance with the Federal Census

ApodiCtIC.

To ~ EDITOR or THE SUS-Sir, IL
one may Judge from your correspondence
page OF last Sunday. possibly some VI
your readers may be interested IN the
following |apodictic proof that there is
not any Infinite and Eternal Being. II
seems to me that the real importance
OF life, death and eternity Is vastly
overestimated however. here Is the
proof.
An Infinite Being ann exist except
In infinite space an Eternal Being cam
not exist except in infinite time. II,
as some Kant!sts have asserted. there
Is a timeless. spaceless Being, a Being
certainly the final n spacial ep.thets,
infinite and eternal. cannot be applied
TO Him. or Her. or It.
Now space n time are not infinite.
Take space If space is infinite. there
must be points In II an Infinite distance
apart. certainly a space all the points
of which are within finite distances OF
one another is not infinite. But two
points cannot be an Infinite distance
apart. because the line from one to the
other is limited at both ends, and a
definitely limited infinite is a contradic-
ton in terms. OF course the same rea-
soning applies TO tine. Two moments
cannot be an Infinite time apart.
Hence the assertion hat space and
time are infinite is not merely an ircon-
ceivable proposition, but directly In
wolves a contradiction in terms, And a
contradiction In terms came express a
truth. W. c. ROSE.

Where Lies the Boundary Between
Common Sense and Religion?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. When
MIR. Bache urges that Immortality be
discussed from a common sense stand
point and not in the religious view, does
he mean that the matter be not regarded
from a Protestant, Jewish or Catholic
standpoint. or does he mean that the
subject should be treated without ref
erence to God?
Immortality can be discussed with
out reference to the many religious be-
liefs. but II cannot be treated without
reference to the Deity.
The Deity, primal cause or creator
must have had a definite and orderly
plan I'm view when tho act Of crea,ion
of the human race was
and took the form of body and soul.
That there IL a body we know. and
surely the high moral plane and IDEAL
isms received from the venerable law

reyela tons. suggest that there is a
higher substance than the body and
that is tho soul or mind.
