Doubt OF Sages.

The Wisest of sages. by the proc
to whether death meant annihilation
or the entering upon another state of
existence. The proof of Immortality is
not found in any argument based on
mere human reason. How, then, are we
able to assert that man is immortal?
We can do so only on the revelation
of Gods Will as contained III the
Scripture. We have no knowledge of
Gods will outside Of the written word
the Bible. aside from that. all IS
conjecture. If You do not accept the
Bible then one mans opinion is as
authoritative as another. If we have
no thus sayeth the Lord we are
without any religion ard are left to
the theories of human philosophy
alone.
If man die shall he live again" de-
ponds entirely on the creator of the
man. If lie wills that he shall exist
only for a certain period. then he will
not live an instant longer. To know
how long any creature - to live. we
ence to that creature, and We have
no knowledge of that will except as

and consequently no lessons to be
drawn from il. If these words of Christ

Soul Resurrection.

We are taught that the moral life of
the soul, which is love 20 God, is as
dead in the unresenerate man as is the
animal life in the buried bodies. Res
direction in both cases is dependent on
divine power; but soul resurrection is
n matter of individual responsibility.
Man has nothing to do with the resur-
rection of the body. He cannot hasten,
delay, prevent or cause it. 1t is like
the fact OF his birth. outside of all eff
fort on his part. But not SO with the
soul The Scriptures distinctly teacfl
that it's mora! condition is dependent
upou itself. God holds il responsible
for its moral death which arises from a
state of guilt: from which state of
guilt God invites it to arise.
Arise from the dead is the cry OF
Justice as well as of mercy.
The grand purpose of God in all His
dealings with men is soul resurrection.
In every event of Providence. in
every page of history, in every verse
of the Bible. in every dictate of reason.
in every throh of conscience, in every
sorrow. and in every joy, His voice to
the soul is this. Arise from the dead
break through thy grave of carnali-
ties, prejudices, corrupt habits, into the
life of truth and love"
In all these things are to be found
vital lessons Of our immortality.

Immature DEVELOPMENT

Another argument fog immortality
Is based on the well known fact that
this life does not afford either time or
opportunity for the soul fully to de-
velop itself; that it has capa biIities
which are not brought into their high
est development here. But does the
fact of this unused power make il Ger
tain that there is a future life? What
about the flowers. the trees, the ami
mails which DO not reach mature de-
Nelopment' Shall We decide for this
reason that they are immortal
II is also used as an argument that
he wise men of ancient times believed
in the immortality OF the soul But
believing in il is not proof that it is
true. unless the faith is based on an
infallihle statement.
