the Immortality of the soul.
Among these l wish just to men,
ton three main ones: The argu-
ment drawn from The Belief, the
one drawn from The Longing
and that from The Moral Expec-
tation of Mankind.
! First: This argument may be
stated thus:
Whatever men everywhere and
always have believed is in ac-
cordance with truth. Men every
where have believed in the i'm
mortality of the soul.
Therefore the doctrine of the
future immortal life is in accord
ance with truth. This statement
assumes, first, the fact of such
universal belief, and secondly,
that the very belief contains in
itself an assurance of its truth
rrulness. The second assumption
must be admitted by those who
recognize the hand of Divine
Wisdom in the constitution Of
man. The very existence of this
universal belief of Immortality
becomes the Makers revelation
that He designs the soul to be
iniomrtal.
Second: Universal longing. The
argument may be formally stated
thus: Every universal instructive
and practical longing or pre-as-
surance of man is destined to be
satisfied.
Man has such a longing for i'm
mortality. Therefore this long
ing is destined to be satisfied by
an immortal life beyond this
present existence. That there is
such desire, few will venture, to
deny. The very longing for i'm
mortality becomes an intimation
of the will of the Creator that
the soul is to be immortal.
Third: Universal Moral Expee-
tation of Mankind. God will COM
plete, either in the present or in
the future, the work of render
ing exact justice to those under
His moral government. There
are manifold promises and Begin
nings Of the work of his justice
left incomplete here. There must,
therefore be a future existence
IN which to complete this work
OF Justice. These two assump-
tons IN this latter argument
are: First, that this universal ex-
pectation exists; and secondly.
that, its very existence is found
warrant for its realization.
Both these assumptions have suf-
ficient grounds for support in
the nature of conscience as the
voice of God in the human soul.
Just one further word in clos
ing: In the New Testament, God
himself, in the person of His In
carnate Son. has spoken to man
the doctrine of the. future life;
and has in the highest sense
drought life and Immortality to
light" by bringing back that In

that he. can maintain autos; a
yacht; give large entertainment;
and hire all the servants he de-
sires. All those things are sources
Of qualification to him. But when
his money brings in smiles, pleas
ant words, and deferential bear
ing from people, he screws his
soul up into suspicion and gets
unhappy.
Why should he not accept the
friendly overtures of people as q
legitimate tribute to a man of
wealth and power? Why should
he not take such things in the
same spirit of satisfaction that he
does the other things his money
brings him?
Being treated with extreme
consideration is just one of the
many advantages that come to a
man of parts and property.
One thing is certain. Let the
rich man lose all he has of posi-
ton and plenty, and let him have
to join the class of people to
whom the world gives scant heed,
and he would miss exceedingly
that consideration and friendli-
ness that he had formerly re-
ceived.
This is a world of give and
take. The poor man has nothing
to give the rich man but friend
illness and service. And the rich
mar should take both and thank
God that he has enough money to
pay for them.

as TO forbid the idea that it cen
be broken by death. Jesus refers
to the Old Testament declaration
that God is the God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, as a sufficient
warrant for the belief in the
continued immortal life of those
who stood in this near, exalted
relation to the Holy One, the
External One. What other-at
least what higher-evidence of
immortality is there than is de-
rived from the worth of the soul
and what indication of its worth
is to be compared with its capac-
ity to enter into living fellowship
with God? How can a being who
is admitted to this fellowship be
left to perish. to exist no more,
or for a time to "sleep in the
grave?" In the New Testament,
Immortality, and with it the res
direction, stands in the fore
ground. Through the resurrec-
ton of Jesus there comes a new
illumination, a signal disclosure
of Gods purpose of grace and
Of the blessed import Of eternal
life; so that death is said to be

ruption drought to light" on
TIM. 100 During the time
when Christ's body was in the
grave. His soul or spirit was
"Quickened." While He was put
to death in the flesh, His spirit
was not confined to the grave,
but rather went and preached
unto the spirits in prison. -
This was so ably pictured in the
recent article by Rev. F. G.
Mackenzie, with which l heartily
concur.
Man as an agent, has an end
less existence before him,-i.e.
his unceaSing activity will con-
tinue everlastingly. His life must
therefore in the future rise to a
power and greatness altogether
beyond his highest possible con-
ception. Nothing in the universe
save God himself is necessarily
self-eHistent. If mans active be-
ing, his soul, is to exist forever
in its career of activity, it must
be because God wills to preserve
it IN immortal existence. Spirit
is as truly created being as mat
ter, and is as truly dependent on
Omnipotence for its continuance
in being. Mans soul is immor-
tai because Cod has willed to
preserve It forever in being.
Mans soul is that part of God
which God breathed into the first
man when he became a living
soul. Mans soul is. as one has
said, "The breath of God" That
cannot cease to exist even for a
time, asleep in the grave.
God has indicated His purpose
of Immortality in mans nature,
as that nature expresses itself in
the consciousness of the race.

THE GALLANT GENTLEMAN

"He was a gallant gentleman. twas
said of an outstanding, splendid citizen VINO
had passed on.
The dictionary says that to be gallant IS
to be "brave, high-spirited and ehivalrous,
although the word may be used IN descrlO-
ing one of "sprightly and gay manners.
Gallant gentlemen are found among all
classes of people. Probably gallant men
are most frequently linked in our thinking
with the profession of arms, or, at least,
among those who have been to war; but
gallant men are just as numerous in pro-
portion to numbers in civil life as in mill
tary life. A farmer may be a gallant gen.
tleman; or the gallant gentleman may be
professional or business man, or mechanic
or day laborer. The character and spirit
of the man and not his station in life de-
termine his worthiness to be known as
gallant gentleman.
George Washington was a gallant gen.
tleman, and many of the fathers OF our
country in prominent stations deserved the
encomium; but many humble men OF the
Revolutions and ranks of the founders were
gallant gentlemen, also.
Perhaps what we most need today in
our social order is much larger proper
ton of gentlemen who are 'brave, high
spirited and chivalrous." Men of that
character can be counted on at all times
to fill their places nobly, whether IN time
of peril, disaster, or in normal times"
The gallant gentleman is a citizen who
lives not only in high-spirited and chlVal-
rouS manner, but also is one who accepts
all the duties and responsibilities OF day by
day living, monotonous and trivial as many
of these experiences may seem, and makes
good in meeting these obligations.
Perhaps we need today more gallant
gentlemen in the ranks of labor, behind
the pillow, at the mechanics bench, at the
desks of business and industry; and, as
suredly, we greatly need them in publ;
lfe-because the gallant gentleman is a
patriot, and public service without patriot-
ism is as sounding brass.
If the gallant gentleman is a day laborer
or a mechanic or any other man who works
with his hands, he will give an honest days
work in exchange for his pay; and he will
give that which is much more than the la
Dor of his hands, and that is interest in his
work and loyalty to the thing he is doing
or the business or industry he serves.
If the gallant gentleman is a business
man, an industrialist, on a large or small
scale, he will give employees, business as
sOciates and the public a square deal; and
it is unnecessary to form codes or pass
laws to compel him to take that course.
The gallant gentleman believes in honesty
as principle and not as policy and il
the practical application of the Golden
Rule.
The gallant gentleman is always ready
and willing to serve and to sacrifice for his
country; and counts it a privilege to bear
more than his part of the load of socia,
and civic progress His attitude to materia
development and economic progress IS like
that, too He is the truly unselfsh citizen
Would that the number of gallant gen
tleman among our citizens, in the com
munity, State and country, could be vastly
multiplied!

compensation was three cents a message,
total of eighteen cents for his labors.
Elmer's participation in this ridiculous
attempt to influence Congress, which is
proving somewhat of q boomerang to q
cause really better than the judgment
Of some Of its promoters, is, despite the
youth Of this particular name-getter,
quite typical of propaganda methods in
general. Great numbers OF people are
willing to sign almost anything that Is
presented to them with the possibility
of. the eventual recording of their names
in congressional annals. Scarce year
passes without some gigantic petition
being rolled into Congress bearing thou
sands Of signatures of people who really
do not know what it is all about. Expert
enced members of the national legisla-
ture are case-hardened to this process,
for they know the flimsy character Of
the evidence of public opinion thus pre-
Sented.
Fortunately the fate of the Nation
does not hang upon the labors Of the
Elmers who are enlisted In this or any
other cause. At least the general hope
is that the absurdities of foolish To-
mentors Of sentiment will not becloud
the issue with which Congress is now
engaged.

Elmer's Enterprise.

Thus far in 1885 the best story OF the
"silly season." that strange time of year
that produces freakish happenings and
oddments of news, is the testimony before
the Senate Power Lobby Investigating
Committee of Elmer Danielson, tele-
graph messenger boy of Warren, Pa,
who yesterday told the committee of his
activities under orders in getting sigma
lures to messages protesting against the
death-sentence clause in the public
utilities bill Though he irritated the
committee at times by his failure OF
memory, he contributed an interesting
chapter to the tale Of high-pressure
methods of organized propaganda so
stupidity undertaken by the representa-
tive of corporation. Elmer was sent
out in plain clothes and given instruc-
tons as to his selling talk, to clarity
the situation in case he met doubter.
Elmer told the committee: 81 was told
to tell them that the bill, if passed, would
put the big fellows out of business A
merchant in Warren, MIR. Epstein, told
me 1t was just the other way. Anyhow,
1 got six signatures Asked whose sig
natures they were. Elmer replied: MY

cheney of his intelligence. He was q
good thinker, his aims and his means
were good. The humility of his nature
was manifest in his custom of signing
his works with the initials H, pseu-
donym conferred upon him by accident
of printers error, but adopted without
hesitation as device. conducive to
anonymity such as he preferred for
himself. But not even the most excess
sive modesty could obscure for long a
personality so rich in courage and
vitality. His influence spread through
out the earth, and he bec'.me a con-
structive force wherever his name was
known. Hence the universal grief over
his death and the universal gratitude
that scattered thousands feel for the
services of his career. He has given his
work into other hands. but his books
and his example remain an everlasting
endowment of the folk he loved.

Another Court Challenge.

The decision by the Sixth Circuit
Appellate Court denying the Federal
Governments authority to acquire by
condemnation Slum or other areas for
the purpose of model housing develop
ment left the housing division OF the
Public Works Administration, in charge
of this work, with two alternatives: To
acquire the property by direct purchase
or to proceed through cooperation with
State agencies which have been en-
dowed by legislation with the right
of eminent domain in model housing
development.
In general the decision was that the
necessary authority for exercising the
right of eminent domain in connection
with model housing belongs to the
States. but not to the Federal Gov
eminent. The effect of the decision on
the Federal housing scheme is still in
doubt. The decision is yet to reach the
United States Supreme Court. And
States, acting under the impetus given
to model housing development through
availability of Federal funds, have been
creating their own housing authorities
through which the Federal Government
might work There are some fourteen
or fifteen of these now in existence.
The suit brought yesterday in District
Supreme Court by the owner of prop
critics in Southwest Washington, sought
Fl by the housing division of p w. A. for
a model housing development, will raise
q new question. Congress has the right
of exclusive legislation in the District
and objections to the exercise of emf
nent domain which apply in the States
might not apply here. The local case,
curiously enough, may furnish clearer
test of the Federal Governments ability
TO proceed than the Kentucky case.
The District Housing Authority was
set UP primarily to deal with the Dis
tricts alley problem, which is not anal
ogous to model housing. While it is
invested by statute with the right Of
eminent domain, that right is restricted
TO condemnation of property in squares
containing an inhabited alley" Other
wise, the Alley Authority, supplied with
funds which it now lacks, might have
been regarded as the logical agency
through which the P. w. A. would work
in its model housing experiments.

IE,.

The world, including Washington
where he was known as an occasional
and always welcome visitor, is poorer
for the passing of George w. Russell,
Irish economist, poet, painter and hu-
manitarian. He was man who was
motivated by the gifts and virtues of a
sanity conception of life, and strangers,
meeting him only once, retained him in
their memories as an ideal type of
character. His dreams were for the
masses of mankind. The values to
which his personal genius responded
were to him so fine so beautiful and so
helpful that he wanted them to be
democratized. He spent himself without
stint toward the end that plain and
humble people might have the freedom,
the happiness and the maturity of spirit
which hitherto only favored few Gus
tomarily enjoyed.
But Socialism in its ordinary doc
trinaire aspect was too sterile philoso-
ply to satisfy the hunger in Mr.. Russells
heart. He could not follow Marxism to
its logical conclusions as Nicolai Lenin
did. Instead, he conferred his effort in
the principle of cooperation and, labor
ing with Sir Horace Plunkett, developed
for his native Erin an economic system
of production and exchange which even
in the worst of seasons justified to the
full his faith in the pragmatic worth of
mutual aid. And he leavened his teach
ing with tincture of romance which
he knew had qualities of healing and
inspiration for the soul of his nation.
Thus he was doubly builder and his
monument is the economic and cul-
tural improvement of Ireland-a degree
of prosperity and of community interest
in the arts which even the casual tourist
appreciates.
1t may be that Mr.. Russell did not
have a superlatively great mind. but
there can be no question about the
generosity. the integrity and the EN-
