Does a Sammie Slain il
Battle Go To Heaven'"
by Rev. DR.. Herbert F. Randolph
of Grace NJ. E. Church wiImingtq
DR.. Randolph is now in an army canton
ment in Massachusetts, working among the
soldiers of Uncle Sam, and helping them
to prepare for their fighting abroad. His
assertions are obtained through intimate
personal intercourse with the Sammies.

| ready. Deaths true name is onwart"
Votes taken in the huts. as o.
whether they believe that their desl
comrades have gone out like the fam
Of a candle, reveal that the majorit
are against such a thought, in th
proportion Of nine to one. They be
lieve that the dead are alive. Bu
when it comes to the question Of tn
condition OF the soldier slain in battle
we discover that they are keenly inter
ested in what happens after death in
battle. II is no wonder, is 10?
There are now at least eight million
dead and twenty-five million jousting
with death. The mighty revolution
wrought by war, in the social organ
ism, brings in its train, revolution In
the realm of the soul. The one great
difficulty in the way Of our belief, is
Just the cold, stubborn, obstrusive
universal fact OF death itself. While
science cannot affirm the life beyond,
II cannot deny its possibility. So there
is no stark antagonism between science
and faith, in this matter Of Immortality
Three simple reasons, tested for CEN
turies, furnish us with sure grounds
for happy faith in life to come. The
first reason is based on the nature OF
man, the second on the character or
God, and the third on the experience OF
Christ. The first is the human argu-
ment, the second is the Scripture, and
the third is the Christian.
We may be quite happy about those
dear lads who have fallen in the great
struggle. They have not perished.
Death is not a cul-de-sac, it is an open
door. They are still carrying on" in
a fairer and better world. Let us live
in this blessed hope. Death is not an
impossible barrier; il is the open door
to blessed peace, to fullness Of oppor-
tunity and TO endless day.

There is no question to which the
human soul more eagerly desires a
clear and sure answer than this one
IF a man die, shall be live again p
II is an old question asked thousands
of years ago and ten Of thousands Of
people are asking II now, with an even
more intense urgency.
When Harry Lauder found the grave
OF his son John. in the great wilder

The awful harvest that death has
been reaping in this terrible war has
made Il the question for a vast host
Of bereaved fathers and mothers and
wives and lovers. They want TO know
what Of their beloved dead? Is a
grave in France or Italy or Mesopo-
tamia, or beneath the waters Of the
sea the end Of all, or shall they live
again?
"A few years ago the great mass Of
the people seemed to be little inter

great war has changed all that. Men
want TO be assured that there is a

some Of the reasons which justify us in
believing confidently, unhesitatingly,
exultingly that though our dear ones
