cal life, in our plan Of action? Our
plan for this life, our life-scheme, the
breadth of it, the dignity Of it depends
upon what we consider the scale and
the extent Of our whole fife to be. The
architecture Of grandeL. is not the
architecture Of littleness. The founda-
tions we lay for towering structure
are deeper and stronger than those
that we build for a Mansion of Life
only for the Seven Ages of Man. One
who builds for eternity must build
deep and strong. He has in view an
indefinite perspective. His scale is
vast his design is lofty; his ideals
transcend all petty measurements.
They range outward into the infinite;
for his life is to be infinite too.
Are we pigmies on a little stage!
Are we marionettes moved helplessly
by a directing hand, insignificant;
suddenly appearing and swiftly with
drawn by caprice or chance? Or /. our
whole life drama Of vaster moment,
of universal significance, of continuous
and unfolding interest? The curtain
may 90 down in darkness; but it shall
rise again. There shall be from act to
act progressive revelation reaching
its climax in an unknown scene, but in
continuity always, in perfect sequence
and in just relation to our perform
ance Of earlier acts. This is not fu.

We dream Of other spheres of action,
Of endless stages, with our spiritual
level self-determined by our earthly
career; life Of eternal progress wor-
thy Of the God that made US, and Of
US; not His lifeless handiwork, but
His children made in His own image
and likeness.
Is this all dream Is it but love-
ly vision Of longing hearts? Is it a
mirage Of faith? All, what do we
know with all our pride Of mind!
OF how little are we certain? What
can we see through eyes blinded by
bitter tears?
We know little; we see less. We
Stand upon a cliff, as a teacher has
said, and clouds are round about our
eyes. Yet we hear the faint murmur
Of the waters, and voices come to US
dim and vague, as Of those beloved
that whisper in the night watches and
make the dead Past life again.
We hear, and though our eyes are
dim, we know the sea is at our feet,
with great tides that sweep to I'M
known shores, to the Islands Of the
Blessed And though darkness and
mist are around about US we know
that beyond is Light, and Love Dr.

ity on the one hand and Judaism on
the other, central in the one and sub
ordinate in the other, but real and vi
tai in both Of them. 1t is interesting
to note in connection with this rela-
tionship, the arguments commonly
adduced in behalf of Immortality.
They are theological; they are philos-
optical or scientific land there is fin
ally what we may call the ethical ar
gument. This does not mean to say
that these are proofs. They are simply
analogies. They are differences from
human thought. They simply show
that such belief belongs symmetri-
cally and properly in the order Of the
universe.
The first great bulwark of this faith
is, Of course, religion. 1t is included
in religious faith, it is supported by
religious authority. You may perhaps
discard this sanction. You may re-
ject religion. You may attach no
weight or Importance to religions
warrant for this great human convic-
ton. And I argue this matter, not
simply as a religionist, as a religious
teacher, but as a student Of human
thought and Of history. To my mind
the fact that this is one of the great
cardinal teachings of religion carries
with 1t tremendous weight and au-
thority, not because religion was pro-
claimed by the literal voice of Deity,
but because religion is in reality hui
man growth; because it is the express
sion Of the historic, spiritual con-
seriousness Of a nation or Of world
wide religious community. Religion is
a register Of the spiritual element in
man, Of his divination Of the Un-
known, Of his aspirations. Is religion,
then, even by the so-called sceptic, to
be ignored, to be derided? Religion
which is the historical deposit Of the
best element in human nature, the
work Of the saints and sages, sealed
with the blood Of martyrs, strengthen
ened by the self-sacrifice of innumer-
BILE generations? Religion which is in
a mystic but very real sense the word
OF God, not super-naturally revealed,
but wrought out through the human
genius and the human spirit of His
earthly children? Is religion which
sums up all this divine influence and
human evolution from the lowest to
the hottest levels, not to bear its
weighty evidence and to be received
with reverence IL not with utter &C.
quiescence
For religion means not only specu-
lation about the unknown. It means
the knowledge Of the real, and the way
to the ideal as summed up in the eth
les. II means the acute analysis Of the
human heart as contained in its spirit
uality. II means the highest aspira-
tons and visions Of mankind at its
best.

ask, Is the Creator like foolish child
that creates only to destroy? We echo
the noble words of Fiske, ~ believe in
the immortality of the soul not in the
sense in which l accept the demon
strable truths Of science, but as a su.
preme act Of Gods work."
We may speak Of the well-known
and accepted doctrine Of the persist
ence OF force. No simple force, no sim
lie element can be destroyed, whether
moral or spiritual. 1t matters not
what name we give it. The soul is q
simple substance. indis.oluble. 1t Is
itself elemental, and it mus. therefore
persist. We cannot conceive Of il. per-
ishing. Such theory is urlmaginable
- . annihilatio o. TIC humti ,,irt
as of any simple fcirc. ne NJ = single

itrable hypothesis. The burdcn "
proof is logically upon those, that
you'd assume tao ann,hilA:i'1 Of the
soul, not on those who consistently
and sanely believe in its Immortality.
The final argument and the convin.
cling evidence, as far as evidence there
can be, Of the souls necessary persist
ence, is the moral argument. II is the
thought Of Emmanuel Kant. The law
Of Duty. Kant teaches US, universally
recognized by man, even by the scep-
tic, demands moral perfection. It is a
law that by its very nature reveals
ideals to US and exacts their attain
ment. It cannot be fulfilled, therefore,
in limited and finite life, but only in
an existence Of eternal development.
The condition Of this law Of duty that
extracts perfection is human immor-
tally.
This point Of view relates our desti-
ny to our duties. II shows the con-
nection between the unknown and the
known. II is based on the thought
that to fulfill ourself, to unfold our
self, to realize our possibilities in &C.
cordance with the Highest Law Of our
being, imposed on US by the Divine
Spirit, we must live forever.
1t is evident now that this belief
Of religion, corroborated by science
based upon ethics, is not an idle spec
ulation.
1t affects our life. II influences our
working philosophy, our realizabls
ideals. Our happiness depends upon
it; our peace Of mind, our assurance
as to the future. II eliminates from
our apprehensions the horror Of ex-
tinction iii confirms and corroborates
our religion.
This is the affirmation Of our relig-
ious consciousness. II may, II you
could not really accept and adore q
Deity that sloped creation upward to
its elimination in man, producing him
after countless ages, only TO slay and
blot him out when his course was
barely begun. Is such a life worth
while! Is such Deity to be worship
ped? Could such a religion be be-liev-
ed?
And this deep faith concerns not
only our personal happiness and our
religious sincerity, but the very sanc-
tuary Of our affections. We crave life
for our beloved. We cannot think Of
them as annihilated as II they were
not, We dream Of reunion. Death itself
seems less terrible because Il has
claimed them.

profit on the cost.
It was the same as to material Immense quantities
were destroyed wilfuly. Costly materials were dumped
and covered with sand and dirt. Electric cranes and deli

carbide furnaces were left idle, exposed to the weather
Hydrants vre placed so that the water would blow them

used was startling. Hundreds of thousands Of feet were
thrown away, burned, wasted or deliberately destroyed
The most extravagant methods Of cutting 1t were prac-
ticed. Nails by the hundred kegs went to the scrap heap;
the finest plumbing fixtures were junked. Agents for the
department of Justice did nothing to punish the guilty;

arraigned in the report for gross neglect OF duty and
failure to protect the property Of the United States
It al makes unpleasant reading, but there is no reason
why the administration which claims all the credit for
having discussed over s30,OO0,OO0OO0 of the peoples money
during the war should not be placed on the defensive now
to show that the money was wisely, economically, and
honestly spent with the single end of winning the war.

No city is better off for gambling. American cities
LEANED that long ago. FL Paso learned It and public
gambling VIII never flourish here again. As for drink, It
probably would be a mistake to attempt to abolish It too
suddenly in Mexico. Human nature and long fixed habits
must be taken into consideration. The reaction to abrupt
prohibition usually is widespread violation Of the law. A
gradual reduction Of the amount Of alcohol sold S a better
solution. Mexico can never be stable, prosperous nation
so long as she clings to strong intozicants. The decree
lust issued by the new government that no liquor with an
alcoholic content Of more than IA percent may be sold IS
an indication that Mexico realizes what must eventually
be done
