TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
is There a
Future Life?
BY the Rev. Edward Taber

The question as to whether
or not there is a future life is
the most important question in
the world.
Let it be granted that the
existence or non-existence Of a
future life cannot be definitely
proved, in a scientific sense.
Let it be granted that our
knowledge Of the matter is
very definitely limited. Let
this be admitted, and the ques-
tion still remains Of paramount
Importance.
Every individual is, to a
certain extent, a philosopher.
He has formed, if only in a
very hazy way, his opinions on
matters Of life and destiny.
Even those people who would
deny ever giving religion a
thought, have some kind of
opinion as to whether or not
there is a God, as to whether
or not death is the end Of all
things.
It is extremely doubtful il
any person of normal mental
ity can escape thinking at
times upon matters of re-
ligion. For religion deals with
the most important questions
in the world. Life, death, des-
tiny, come within its scope.
From the earliest times man
has marveled at the brevity of
human existence. Long be-
fore civilization had its dim
beginnings in the valley of
the Tigris and the Euphrates.
or in the Egyptian valley of
the Nile, men began to ponder
in 4 crude way over the fact
that "Man that is born Of
woman hath but a short time
to live and is full of misery"
The question was inevitable
EFF a man die, shall he live
again ?"
Generally speaking, the Wis
est and best Of the great
teachers and prophets have

answered this question in the
affirmative. Thinkers Of all
ages have proclaimed that al
though the body may die, the
soul will continue to live.
The supreme religious teacher
Of all time was Jesus Christ.
1t has been we'll said that
Jesus did not argue in favor Of
Immortality; He took it for
granted. He was so. firmly
convinced Of the existence Of
the soul after death that He
seldom discussed the matter at
great length. When He did
mention it, He spoke with the
tone Of authority. Quietly,
calmly, He assured His hear
ers that He was the resurrec-
ton and the life. His last
words upon the cross were a
commencing Of His soul to His
Father.
To the Christian the resur-
rection Of Jesus forms the
great corner stone Of his faith.
Who has not thrilled to the
majestic words addressed to
the women at the empty tomb:
"Why seek We the living among
the dead? He is not here. He
is risen."
The age in which we live is
one Of vast scientific and
mechanical progress. Many
old traditions have been de.
stroyed that were associated
in the minds Of many people
with religious faith. New
standards Of morality have been
ushered in along with new con-
ceptions of religion.
But many of the greatest
thinkers have based their be-
lief in immortality on instinct
and intuition. There is some.
thing in the spirit Of man that
speaks with imperative and
not to be denied authority that
the soul Of man will continue
to exist throughout eternity.

are approximately 1876 miles repre-
senting an investment Of $780, 900.
Within the next few years, the
speaker said, it is not improbable
that the state will be served by not
more than five electric companies
with connections maintained between
the several systems to insure service.
Lower Rates, Better Service
Advent of the transmission lines
has, on the whole, caused down.
ward revision in rates and improved
service. Milhollan said. Small iso-
lated plants. with higher costs, have
presented q difficult rate making
problem and the commission has en-
couraged transmi ssion line develop.
ment, recognizing this as the only
practical solution Of high rates and
inadequate SERVICE" Milhollan said.
On the other hand development Of
the transportation lines has presented
many legal questions, together with
engineering and accounting problems,
he said.
Competition between companies for
control Of certain territory has been
hot, the speaker said, resulting in q
scramble for small, isolated public
utility properties. In many cases the
prices paid for these plants have
been far in excess of the cost Of re-
have stipulated that the purchase
price has no relation to the value
for rate-making purposes, the
speaker said.
Mindful Of the fact that broad
questions Of public policy is involved,
the commission has endeavored to
protect the public interest in all such
cases, Milhollan said, and pointed out
that it is only reasonable to assume
that the companies purchasing iso.
lated plants must expect to make 1
profit on them, either in rates or in
, securities.
Farmers 20 Benefit
Hope that the time is at hand when
electric companies will furnish SER
vice to farmers at reasonable rates
is close at hand was expressed by the
+, speaker. National organizations are
making n study Of rural electrified
ton and some, development along
these lines has been made in North
Dakota. but only to a limited de-.
gree, he said.
Touching on automobile transpor-
tation, the speaker said it has been
source Of annoyance to the rail-
roads and increased responsibilities
to state commissions but that it is
here to stay. This is evident, he
said, from the fact that many rail-
roads now arc operating bus lines
and street railway companies are re-
placing present service by adding
busses. Although the bus has not
seriously affected the revenues OF
North Dakota carriers it has made
real inroads in areas where the popu-
lation is greater.
+! Never in its history has the board
been 50 busy with matters relating
to freight rates - now, Milhollan
said, giving as the reason the investi-
