There are four states. conditions,
or stages in the advancement of
the individual soul, specified in
Sacred Writ These are ID the un-
embodied. C2) the embodied. (3) the
reCted state
In other words. ~ every one of
Us lived in an antemortal existence
as an individual spirit: CD we are
nov in the advanced or mortal
stage of progress; (3) we shall
live in a disembodied state after
death, which is but a separation OF
spirit and body; (D and in due
time each of US, whether righteous
or sinful, shall be resurrected from
the dead with spirit and body re-
united and never again to be sep
arated.
As to the certainty of the ante
mortal state, commonly spoken of
as preexistence, the Scriptures are
explicit Our Lord Jesus Christ re-
peatedly averred that He had lived
before He was born in flesh (see
John 6:62; S:5s; 1928; 17:5); and
as with Him so with the spirits of
all who have become or yet shall
become mortal
We were severally brought into be-
Ing. as spirits, in that preexistent
condition, literally the children of the
Supreme Being whom Jesus Christ
worshipped and addressed as Father.
Do we not read that the Eternal
Father is THE GOD OF THE SPIR-
ITS OF ALL FLESH" Numb. 1872;
E:16l. and more specifically that He
q EATHED
(Heb. l2:0. In the light of these
Scriptures It is plainly true that the
spirits Of mankind were there be-
gotten and born into what we call
the preexistent or antemortal con-
aition.
The primeval spirit birth Is ex-
pressively described by Abraham, to
whom the facts were revealed, as
4 process of organization, and the
spirits so advanced are designated
as intelligences: NOW THE LORD
HAD SHOWN UNTO Me, ABRA-
HAM, THE INTELLIGENCES THAT
WERE ORGANIZED BEFORE THE
WORLD WAS; AND AMONG ALL
THESE THERE WERE MANY OF
rHE NOBLE AND GREAT ONES"
Pearl Of Great Price, Abraham 3:Z2).
1he human mind finds difficulty In
apprehending the actuality of infinite
Or eternal process, either from the
present onward to and beyond what
we call in a relative sense perfec-
ion, on, on, without end: or back-
ward through receding stages that
aad no beginning. But who will af
irm that things beyond human COM
,rehension cannot be?
In the antemortal eternities we de-
Teloped with Individual differences
md varied capacities. So far as we
an peer into the past by the aid
" revealed light we see that there
vas always gradation of intelligence,
md consequently Of ability, among
he spirits, precisely as such differ
ences exist amongst us while we
ire mortal.

The Washington herald., 1918-08-11

EQUAL is true In the sense in which
that telling epigram was written into
the scriptures of the Nation as a
self-evident truth; for such laws as
men enact in righteousness provide
for the protection of individual rights
on basis of equality, and recognize
no discriminating respect of persons.
But If applied as meaning that all
men are born with equal capac-
tiles, or even inherent abilities in
like measure for each, the aphorism
becomes absurd and manifestly false
Every spirit born in the flesh is an
individual character, and brings to
the body prepared for its tenancy a
nature all it's own. The tendencies,
likes and dislikes. in short the whole
disposition of the spirit may be IN
tensified or changed by the course of
mortal life, and the spirit may ad-
vance or retrograde while allied with
its mortal tabernacle. Students of the
so-called science with a newly coined
name. Eugenics, are prone to en-
phasize the facts of heredity to the
exclusion of preexistent traits and
| attributes of the individual spirit as
factors in the determination of
character.
The spirit lived as an organized in
telligence before it became the en-
bodied child Of human parents; and
Its preexistent individualism will be
of effect I'm its period of earth-life.
Even though the manifestations of
primeval personality be largely
smothered under the tendencies due
to bodily and prenatal influence, 1t is
there. and makes its mark This is
in analogy with the recognized laws
of physical operation-every force
acting upon a body produces its
definite effect whether it acts alone
or with other and even opposing
forces.
The genesis Of every soul lies
back in the eternity past, beyond
the horizon of our full comprehen-
sion, and what we call a beginning
is as truly a consummation and an
ending, just as mortal birth is at
once the inauguration of earth life
and the termination of the stage of
antemortal existence.
The facts are thus set forth in the
revealed word of God:
'HF THERE BE TWO SPIRITS,
AND ONE SHALL BE MORE IN
TELLIGENT THAN THE OTHER,
YET THESE TWO SPIRITS, NOT
" 10 NUKE
INTELLIGENT THAN THE OTHER.
HAVE NO BEGINNING; THEY
EXISTED BEFORE. THEY SHALL
HAVE NO END, THEY SHALL,
EXIST AFTER, FOR THEY ARE
GNOLAUM. OR ETERNAL" (Abra-
ham 3:1S).
To every stage Of development, as
to every human life, there Is be-
ginning and end; but each stage
is definite fraction of eternal proc
ess. which is without beginning or
end Man is of eternal nature and
divine lineage.

Plea for Disabled Soldiers.

Before the end of the coming sum-
mer the tide of wounded American
fighting men. many of whom will re-
uuire special vocational re-education
before returning to Industrial life, VIII
be returning from Europe.
In making this prediction tonight the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton emphasized the imperative need OF
congres sional legislation authorizing
the establishment of an adequate sys-
tenn for the rehabilitation of disabled
men.
In estimates already submitted 10
congress the board pointed out that
100000 out of every 100000 soldiers
sent to France will be returned during
the first year of fighting and that IN
struction in new lines of industry VIII
be needed for 10000 annually who will
be physically unable to return to their
pre-war occupations.
The disabled are divided by the
board into four classes: Those per-
manently invaded; those able to
work but who. can not engage in COM
petitive occupations. those who must
learn new occupations, because OF their
physical handicaps and those able to
return to their pre-war tasks. About
so per cent arc expected to fall into
