Many people would no doubt max e

ner of living IL they knew that in a
few weeks they were to be ushered
into eternity. But, then, very many
people would make a very decided
change in their maner of life IL they
had any sense whether they were
to remain in this world or go to an
other. Most men take the cash and
let the credit go-thsy squander a
healthy manhood for a few stupid
pleasures in youth. A penalty post
poned to the life to come does not
deter, and a future reward as great
as endless paradise does not deter
mine conduct. A great many who
think they believe in endless life
are suffering from ennui today and
wondering what to. do with tomor-
row.
The only thing the thoughtful can
affirm about death is that it has
meaning and means we'll. 1t is
something the universe requires for
its we'll being. II life is good, death
cannot be evil.
1t is no more wonderful IL we
live again than it is that we live
today. The endless miracle and
mystery is life. The worth of life
is in its surprises-its expectations,
its things unknown.
Easter does not lift the veil which
separates the seen from the unseen.
1t only reminds us that there is an
unseen world and the great lesson
is this: II we desire endless life
the only sensible plan is to begin
now to live a life we should be
willing to keep on living.

Pastor of Church Of Cur Father.
NThe dream Of Immortality Is the
most splendid and daring that ever
entered the mind of man. 1t has,
however, much less influence upon
iife than most people suppose, and
Its influence is not entirely for
good. 1t is a fact not to be denied
that scientists and social reformers,
most of whom are agnostics as to a
tuture life. are far more active in
trying to make this world better
place than most of those who pro-
fess belief in Immortality.
