the Maker of the world can do as he desires, he wills misery and 1t IS this cruel fact that has made many men doubt Gods existence and has impelled others even to deny it. The key to this mystery" said MT. Troup H'is simple to those who believe m the immortality of the soul, because on no other ground can we ratlonally base the doctrine that this is Gods world and that we must work out our salvation in it.
 Continuing, MT. Troup said:
 The final effect of any life, no matter how humble it may be- cannot cannot Almighty God and looked at from this viewpoint, every life and soul be- comes a matter of transicendent lm- portance in Gods scheme of things. The more one considers history, the more clearly he can discern the work ings of Providence in it. On all sides proofs abound that this is Gods world and all nature proclaims
 the active presence of Divine PTovi- dence in earthly affairs. Everywhere we see in nature a reign of law, a harmony of relationship in existing things. True, the materia1ist insists that there is no such thing as super natural agency, that all is governed by natural law; and yet he proces that this so-called natural law is so very marvellous in all it's workings that the only way a rational nl1nd ~
 assume a supernatural agency as it's cause.
 Looking around him, man finds himself living with millions of others, each gifted with individual conscious ness like his own and all existing in world seemingly designed to
 to need their every need. There Is no yearning of the human mind that

ora&ion, used the significant words He who sleeps here, when trying, mis- taking the approach of death for the return of life, whispered with his Let us believe in spite of doubts and distrusts and tears and fears that these dear words are true of all the countless dead.'
 In conclusion MT. Troup said, Tt is, therefore, a message of faith ana hope, not one of sorrow and doupt' that we bring to you on this occa. sion. It was. in fact, the teaching Of all the great prophets and of Jesus, Himself, that the eternal life begins in this world. We are not going to enter eternity when we die: we are in eternity now. Christ was as inn mortal in the manager as He was on the Resurrection Day. So it is with every soul that passes from this n!e' be is soon or late, to the greater Hie tion, will I rise from the dead after I die?' The only question to concern you is whether you have risen rom the dead or are rising from the oead today. The eternal life IS not some thing far away and beyond the stars; it is som mething here and now.
 1T have dwelt perhaps too long, upon this subject of the souls inn mortality, because I felt myself WhoI- Iy inadequate to do justice individ- ua1Iv to the honored dead for whom this service especially is held Many of these names that have been read to you are new to me, but l am sure, knowing what it means to participate in the privileges and practices Of Elk dom, that none of those names is a strange one to Almighty God. These men have been partakes of the spirit and believers in the ideals of an order, the merits of which are too well known to you to need an encomiums from me. No one but God and those benefited wElever know how much good their privileged participation in and liberal contributions to Elkdom permitted them to do; how much of charity, justice and brotherly love has been accomplished because of their presence in our order. Never having met them, we know them. well, be cause they, too, have shared in the helpfulness of Elkdom.

He showed how the entire brain, either as matter or energy, ac- tuaily pe-ishes in less than five years, although memory, which is form of thought, persists over great per lods of time and he said that this fact had defeated all efforts of athe- lsts and materialists to establish men tahty or conscious existence as a mere product of brain action Jusr electricity. form of energy is some thing different from the wire. a form or matter. over which it's travels, so we find that life is something entire ly different from either matter or energy, separately or in com pima tion Quoting Samuel Johnson's famous statement in Rasselas of Death and Life, he said: "AH the conclusions of reason enforce the imma teria lity of the mind. and all the notices of sense and investigations of science concur to prove the unconsciousness of natter

 Speaking under the head of rational philosophy, MT. Toup pointed out that philosophy MT. Troup pointed out that lily based upon certain self evident truths, among which he cited the dicta that there can be no effect without a. cause" that "somethiug cannot come from nothing and that some thing cannot be resolved into mo- thing"
 He also cited the celebrated dictum
 of Descarte. the father of modern
 philosophy, who said that the surest
 thing we know in this life is that
 we exist. It is impossible for a per
 son to get away from the idea that
 he is a fact, that he is himself, dis

 Continuing MT. Troup said, The 1 continuity of life through all eter- | nitv is no more incomprehensfble than 1 the permanence of matter and force ] The fact that we shall live after death is no greater mystery than the | fact that we live today. To uro- duce something from nothing, ali.

MT. Troup pointed out in his ad- dress that one of the prominent fea- lures of Elkdom was it's reverence heart of the order, he said, were cer- tain fundamental principles, and among these none had taken firmer root than a belief in the immortality of the soul. He pointed out above all things in it's memorial service, E1kdom desires to bring a messa ge of faith and hope to the bereaved, believing that it can be demonstrated as conclusively as anything can be proved in this life that the soul does not and cannot die.
 Mir. Troup treated the su bject of the immortality of the soul from four v1ewpoints-that of science, philos- ophy, religion and human experience and history. He said that looked at even from the skeptical viewpoint of science we have no good reason to believe that death condemns us to life or consciousness is something en- ter and energy, and that by com force had science been able to ger mtnate living thing. He showed that there IS a conscious som mething that unmiStakably distinguishes the mean est of living things from the most wonderful automatic machine ever de- vised.
