A stupenduous task now confronts
me. It is my purpose at this time to
state these evidences which appeal
most strongly and helpfully to me in
favor of the belief that we shall live
beyond the grave. There. is no prob
lem that presents itself to the human
mind of such absorbing interest and
Importance as the question of fu-
ture life. However, in addressing a
body of ministers on a subject of this
kind, I am certain Of two facts. In
the first place, as to the quantity OF
literature dealing with this question,
J. say with William James, "There has
been so much said that ! ought not
further occupy the time" In the Sec
ond place, l presume that all of you
believe in immortality. If not, like
Carlyle's grim answer when he was
told that Margaret Fuller, the Ameri-
can transcendentalist, had accepted
the universe, "Gad, she'd better"
-1uuS HuCSCAOu 10 DOtAA pei tAASAv eAAN
timely. It is an age-long question
and vital to us all. AS one well said,
Every spring asks it after the white
desolation and killing cold Of winter.
Every dawn asks it after the darkness
and silence of night. At every fu-
neral that question fills every heart
and mind as the minister conducts
the service" Is there. a solid basis
for the hope that there is a continu-
ance of life beyond death? May we
believe with confidence in life after
death? leone to you as student of
religion, realizing both my unworthi-
ness and inability to profitably discuss
so great theme. It will be in the
light Of faith that shall bear my I'M
swerving testimony to the validity of
this eternal hope. And l trust that in
presenting the subject matter in only
few Of it's aspects that out of these
truths there might emerge no uncer-
tain conviction that our belief in life
eternal is not in vain.
