We need quote but one. Professor Hux- ley, the great agnostic, writing to John Morley likewise an agnostic, a private letter in whieh he spoke his mind freely, said: "I would sooner be in Hell a good «eal, at any rate in one of the upper circles where the climate and company are not too trying, than be extinguished al- together." This is the great quest of men. Talk about solving the problem of perpetual motion, ahout discovering a cure for cancer or leprosy, about isolating the old age germ! These are but trifles alongside of the great problem of all the ages, that of the immortality of man, There has never been a time when men were not the human race has not sought its solution, or expressed belief in it, The cave men of untold milleniums who did battle with mammoths and dinosaurs for the mastery of the earth, bore witness to their belief in immortality by burying the weapons its battle with sin and Shiite, Ite gradual overcoming its own barbar- ism, its climbing step by step to higher things. It is all to go for no- thing Is it all to end in innumer- able funerals, and the earth one vast graveyard? Are all the injustices to kiow no justice but the dumb equal- ity of the grave and the grave's un- thinking forgetfulness : "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; As of the unjust, also of the just-- Is that the be-all and end-all of ex- istence? Reason answers with an emphatic 'No" There must be an ultimate decency of things. There must be a hereafter to make the here right. Yet after all these arguments ave not the proofs on which we depend. They are all very gooa. But they are not the foundation on which we plant our feet. They are valuahle as contributory evidence but they are not the conclusive and final testi- mony. The greatest men who sought and thought out these evidences, specialists thiough they may have been in thought wor litemature or science, are nevertheless only men, groping their way to knowledge, of- ten mistakn when dealing with things spiritual. The One on whose Lestimony we depend, on this question is the world's specialist on spiritual pro- blems, the unrivalled authority on} all which concerns the inward and unseen of man. In this respect Jesus Christ stands alone. He is the final voice on all which concerns the life of the chase and of war with their At'the other end of the se ale | of human progress and mental de-| velopment, the greatest thinkers and! are giving | their time to its study, and are con- Philosophers like Balfour and Bergson, Itterary men like Meyers and Stead, Doyle and De- Morgan, scientists like Barret and!
