visible, person. The problem is,
can the spirit exist without a mate
rial foothold ? Can the body go to
dust and the spirit survive ? The
riddle is as importunate as it is diffi
cult. The data are beyond the ho
rizon. Scientific demonstration will
possibly never be made.
Certain lines of thought are at
least pleasant and encouraging—for
example, the organization of the
material world is seen to be adapted
to the constitution of man: color for
eye, harmony for ear, fragrance for
nostril, flavor for palate. But the
ineradicable elemental craving of
man is for continuous life. Would
God satisfy the lesser appetites and
create the supreme hunger only to
mock it ? Existence of desire for
immortality is presumption that it
will be gratified.
Again, and everything in the course of
nature human nature appears
subservient to the perfection of per
sonality. If the Person does not
survive, then “the consummate
fruition of creative energy” comes to
naught. This encourages the in
ference that the present does not
finish the life of the human soul.
But these analogies and inferences
and others like them confessedly fall
short of demonstration. The fact is
that immortality pertains to the
spiritual faculty. Genuine and sat
isfactory belief in it is'not to be had
through what one reads in books or
by means of the authoritative dicta
tion of the Church or the repetition
of a creedal formulary. It is to be
sensed by the soul. The moral and
spiritual faculties are to achieve
what cold and bare thinking could
never do for us. This has been ad
mirably called getting onto the Di
vine side of life
By this means we come to the cor
rect estimate of values and the true
proportion of life. In this light,
material substances, however rich
and vast, are nothing compared with
this spirit in man. In fact this is
the only thing that is real and en
during. everything In is the ultimate analysis
seen to be subordinate
and tributary to this. «~
While Easter, with its anthems
and ilowers expresses and accentu
ates this hope of immortality, each
should have its inspirational
Vision of the continuity of life.—

OBITUARY.
Death has again visited our midst,
and claimed for his victim our friend
and relative, William J. Billing,
who bore the marks of 86 years of
toil and care. How hard it is for us
to >give up dear ones. God’s ways
are above ours; we cannot under
stand why He permitted the angel
of death to enter the home and take
away its most precious jewel. God,
in Ilis mercy, saw fit to release him
from the troubles and trials of this
world, so he closed his eyes as he
had fallen asleep, and, without one
struggle, passed into the great be
yond. My consolation is the con
of the fact that our treas
ure is in heaven. Ilis poor, worn
frame will never more be racked
with agonies of pain; his suffering is
an end.
Bat it will not be- long until we

homes are sad without him, yet

bloom to die, and may we find com

One of our up-town citizens was
delinquent in paying his doctor’s
bills. The other evening he sent
for his physician in great haste. It
was a case of confinement. The
father, it seems, had a morbid fear
diat the child would be marked, and
vvh’lo waiting anxiously outsrae the
room, asked the nurse, after the
critical moment was passed,'if it was
marked in any. way. “Yes.” was
the word sent out by the d o.: ctor,

ganization is, if possible, to arouse
within us our profound duty toward
our fellow man and our God, and in
so doing, I believe we will do our
selves untold good, and by our pre

will live after we have gone to meet
our eternal reward on the other side
of the river of life. May we take
hold of this opportunity, with a

We know that there are consecrated ;
Christians, who are working, toiling |
and pleading for our soul’s salvation,
and why not we unfold our arms,
fall in the line of battle, and help to
take the world for Christ: We need
a Sunday school right here where
we have a literary school so, that the
children may learn something more
than the heroic deeds of Washing

may learn of the Christ.
