This longing for immortality?Or whence this secret dread and inward

horrorOf falling into naught? Why shrinks the soulrjacic on nerseu, ana startles at destruction tTls the Divinity that stirs within us;Tls Heaven itself that points out an here-

after.And intimates eternity to man.The stars shall fade away, the sun himselfGrow dim with age, and nature sink in years,uul inuu suujb uuunsD in immortal youtn,Unhurt amidst the war of elements.The wreck of matter, and the crash of

worlds.We must pass by Wordsworth, who

sang so sweetly in his "Ode to Immortality," and by Browning who hasnowhere concentrated his genius inone supreme utterance upon thetheme of immortality, but who hasrichly scattered his hopes on number-less pages of his many. works. We passthem by that we may cross the seas,listen to the voices of two Americanbards, and pass back again for our finalwitnesB to the hope beyond.

Bryant, tne poet or .nature andAmerica's pride, saw, one day, thewater-fow- l journeying through thetrackless sky, 'lone wandering but notlost,' ana ne wrote:

He who from zone to zoneGuides through the boundless sky thy certain

niimiIn the Ions way that I must tread aloneWill lead my steps aright."

Longfellow, the favorite of the common people, who touches so tenderlythe heart strings of mankind, leadsthe race to the grave and tells themthere in words of hope and comfort,

God's-acr- e Yes. that blessed name ImrjartsOomfort to those, who in the grave have sownxne seea tnat tuey uaa garnerea in tneir

ho&rtsTheir bread'of life, alas! no more their ownInto its furrows shall we all be cast.

In sure faith that we shall rise againAt the great harvest, when the archangel'sblastShall winnow, like a fan, the chaff and grain.'Then shall the rood stand in Immortal bloom.In the fair gardens of that second birth;And each bright blossom, mingle its perfumew ltn tnat or nowers, which never oioomea on

eartn.With thy rude ploughshare. Death, turn up

the sod. '

And spread the furrow for the seed we sow;This is the field and acre of our God,This is the place where human harvests

grow."

AgainACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO ENGLAND'S

SHORES,to hear the final testimony of theworld's foremost poet witness on thismighty theme; whose grief over thedeath of his friend Hallam gave to theworld that grandest of all poems, "inMemoriam," through all the pages orwmcn burns the immortal light, inthis poem Tennyson builds his hopesupon love, that love must continue andpersist. It is the moral worth of lovethat inspires faith and keep the poetfrom ultimate despair.

"If e'er when faith had fallen asleep,I heard a voice 'believe no more,'And heard an ever-breaki- shoreThat tumbled in the (godless deep."A warmth within the breast would melt.The freezing reason's colder part.And like a man in wrath the heartStood up and answered, 'I have felt.' "

But Tennyson's supreme utterance onimmortality is that famous and wellknown lyric of humanity, "Crossingthe Bar." in this testimony Tennyson shows his peace with the universe.His hope has become a conviction, personal, vital and triumphant. So withperreet assurance tne singer steps intotne ship to sail for the celestial portbut be leaves this song behind:"Sunset and evening Star,

And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the bar.

When I put out to sea,"But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam.When that which drew from out the boundless

deepTurns again home."Twilight and evening bell

And after that the dark !

And may there be no sadness of farewell,When I embark.

"For though from out our bourne of time andplace,The flood may bear me far,I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar."

It corrects inabilityto hold water and scalding pain in passingit, or bad effects following use of liquor,wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasantnecessity of being compelled to go oftenduring the day, and to get up many timesduring the night.

venre of still newer existence? I haveknown admirable persons without feel--Insr that they exhaust tne possibilitiesof virtue and talent. I have seen whatglories of climate of summer morningsand evenings; of midnight skyl I haveenjoyed the benefits of an tnis complex macninery or arts ana civilizationand its results of comfort! But theGood Power can easily provide memillions more." Thus sneak the nhl- -

losophers, their words like thefjsouth-er- n

zephyrs and bearing the aromaof a billion of flowers and ten thous-and songs from the birds of paradise.It is interesting to note tne belief orsome of the men of war, of generals bywhose commands armies were sweptinto the beyond. We might thinkthat in the heart of a great command-er the light of immortality has beenextinguished entirely, but Moltke, thegreat German stategist, after a longlife ot reflection and meditation andaccustomed to look upon death, craveexpression to the following faith: "It islmnossioie lor tnis eartniy lire to nethe ultimate purpose of our being. Wedid not ask for this life;" it was givento us, thrust upon us. There must befor us a higher destiny than to beginanew, day after day, the course of thissad existence.IS THERE NEVER TO BE A SOLUTIONof the problems in which we are involved. problems which tne best menhave Kiven their lives to solves? Whythe thousand ties of love and friend-ship which unite us with the present and the past, if tnereis no future, if death endsall?" And Moltke 's friend, Bismarck,declared that not a day would be careto live did he not believe in God and abetter future.

Napoleon held life cheap. A hundred thousand men would he send intothe jaws of death to foster his plansand carry out ms ambition. .Napole-on's was a stony heart. He could lookunmoved upon his army death-strew- n

in the snows of Russia. But once hisstony heart was melted. It was whenhis friend Duroc the one man heseemed to love lay dying, and as heknelt at the bedside of his departingcompanion, he whispered in his ear:"There is another and a better world.'And when his friend had crossed theriver, that we all must cross, Napoleonretired to bis tent and there, alonecompanioned with his thoughts, forno officer or soldier dared to intrudehis presence upon the Emperor's sadand sacred sontuoe.

Carlyle, the great hater of shams,and cant, and hypocricv. who could saythincs with such stinging sarcasm andsatire, could also be tender and writewitn tne gentlest toucn of emotionand faith. Turning from some of hispassages in his French Bevolution, tothis passage on immortality, it is likepassing into a new and fairer country,He says: "Eternity, which cannot befar off, is my one strong city. I lookinto it fixedly now and then. All terrors about it seem to me superfluous.The universe is full of love and of in-exorable sternness and.veracity; and itremains forever true that God reigns.Patience, silence, hope."

We are always fascinated by thewords of orators. We love to lingerlong over the things they have saidand written. Their diction is so beau-tiful and powerful, their flights of im-

agination so captivating. But an or-ator not only says things in a greatway, he also says great things, andsome of the greatest orators of earthhave delivered themselves of mightyutterances on this theme of immortal-ity.

Cicero, the first man of Rome, whodared to stand against: Ctesar at thetrial of Catiline in the Roman Senate,and who uttered at that time words ofimmortal hope, also gave speech tothis famous passage: "There is, Iknow not how, in the minds of men acertain presage, as it were, of a futureexistence, and this takes the deepestroot and is most discoverable in thegreatest geniuses

AND MOST EXALTED SOULS."

Men do not indulge in trivial re-

marks when they are dying. It is thenthat they wish to say their best andgrandest. Thus when Daniel Websterlay upon his bed of death he sent thesewords of faith into the ages: "Mygeneral wish on earth," he said, "hasbeen to do my Master's will. Thatthere is a God all must acknowledge.I see him in all these wondrous works.Himself how wondrous! What wouldbe the condition of any of us if we hadnot the hope of immortality? Whatground is there to rest upon but theGospel? There were scattered hopesof the immortality of the soul, especial-ly among the Jews. The Romansnever reached it; the Greeks never re-ceived it. There were intimations ofcrepuscular twilight; but, but, butGod, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ,brought life and immortality to light."And when Ilufus Choate took shipfor that port where he died, a friendsaid: "You will be here a year hence.""Sir,"'said the great lawyer and orator,"I shall be here a hundred years hence,and a thousand years hence."

Let us now turn to the poets, thosesweet singers of the ages, whosethoughts pass out to the ideal, but 1trust do not desert the real. In poetrywe have our most fruitful field, for allwho sang for the world, sang about thefuture. We will go back a thousandyears before the birth of Him whosewords and resurrection are our surefoundation. At that time there livedin Greece a creator of epic verse. Init Homer set forth his idea of thefuture life, an idea crude, to be sure,but what we might expect from thatdistant day.

The world of the dead to him was ashadowy and spectral existence. InjhisOdyssey he makes his hero take a jour-ney to the under world. There gatherto meet him "Spirits from out ofErebus of those now dead and gone

THE HOME CIRCLE.WHAT QREAT MEN HAVE SAID OF

IMMORTALITY.

A SERMON BT REV G. H. JOHNSON,PASTOR OF THE' CONGREGATIONALCHURCH, MONROE.

II Cor 5: 1. For we know that, If our earthlybouse of thl- - tabernacle were dissolved, wehave a building of Uod, a house not made Willihands, eternal In the heavens,

To-da- y, I wish to bring you somemessages from the great; what theearth's first souls have said about theother life. Their words are not proofsof Immortality; they are but intima-tions, evidences. Immortality cannothe nroved. but we mav all conclude, asdid Lvman Beecher when he sat on thewestern veranda of life looking intohis sunset, "I have Deen reviewing myevidences, and I conclude that l navea riant to hone."

On past Easter morns we have goneto Jesus, to the Bible, to science forassurances concerning: the futureTrxiav we will turn to literature andcull from it a few precious gems, wordsof cheer and nope, we an wisn toknow about the other shore whitherwe shall go and whither have gonethose we have loved and lost. Tenny-son has expressed what each of us hasheretofore thought:

"Ah Christ, that it were bestFor one short hour to 8eoThe souls we loved. that they might tell usWhat and where they be.

And bo we turn to literature, to sam--

Sle the utterances of the wise, tointo the highest wisdom that the

race bas thus far attained, four nundred rears before the birth of Himwho "brought life and immortality tolight," and in a day when the flame ofthe future life burned low, there liveda philosopher in the little land ofGreece. Wiser was he than the menof his times, keener in vision, yea, thesrreatest of Dhilosonhic minds. Easilvis Plato the first, the richest, the mostresourceful 01 an wno nave sougnt tovindicate tne Daman belief in the future,and in his "Republic" are writtentnese woros: "And tnus ttiancon, tnetaie nas neen saved and nas not perished and may be our salvation if weare obedient to the word spoken: andwe8hallpass safely over the river ofForgetfulness, and

OUR SOUL WILL NOT BE DEFILED.Wherefore my counsel is that we h oldfast to the heavenly way, and followafter justice and virtue always, considering that the soul is immortal andaoie to enaure every sort or good anaevery sort of evil. Thus shall we livedear to one another and to the godsboth while remaining here and when

nike conquerors in tne games wno goaround to gainer gifts, we receive ourreward, and it shall be well with usboth in this life and in the pilgrimageof a thousand years which we havebeen reciting."

Germany, that land of learning, thefatherland of so many or tne earth 'i

wisest, gave to the world ImmanuelKant, whose arguments for immortality carry such conviction and force,His were moral arguments. Duty wasthe sublime fact. In It Kant "foundthe divine origin of life and the pledgeor immortality." uod commands usto be holy, just and honorable, and toattain unto such character, says thisphilosopher, God will give us immor-tal life as a field of exertion. Andwhen Kant came near his end he spokethese words: "I do not fear to die. Iassure you, as in the presence of God,that If on this very night,suddenly, thesummons to death were to reach meI should bear it with calmness;! shouldraise my hands to Heaven and say,Blessed be God.' "

Across the seas we come to gather agem from the shores of the Colonies.We seek out him who wrested thellgbtnlngOfrom the skies; whose wis-dom madel celebrated Poor Richard'sAlmanac; whose learning made himrenowned at the court of France, andwe read this editapb written by him-self for his own tombstone: "The bodyof Benjamin Franklin, printer, (likethe cover of an old book, its contentstorn out and stript of its lettering andgilding) lies here, food for worms; yetthe work itself shall not be lost, for itwill appear once more in a new andmore beautiful edition, corrected andamended by the Author."

That peerless American mind, the.Sage of Concord, mused long and deepover this mighty theme. Emersonlooked out upon the fields where theminute-me- n shed the early blood of theRevolution, and the slain occasionedthe question injhis breast, "Whither?"All nature awakened in him thoughtsabout the future and he said: "Man isto live hereafter. That the world is forhis education is the only sane solutionof the enigma. The planting of a de-sire indicates that the gratification ofthat desire is in the constitution ofthe creature that feels it. The Crea-tor keeps His word with us all. WhatI have seen teaches me to trust theCreator for all I have not seen. Willyou, with vast pains and care, educateyour children to produce a masterpieceand then shoot them down?" Andthen as Emerson neared the hour ofhis dissolution, when every tick of theold clock was a summons home, thesage said: "On the borders of the gravethe wise man looks forward with equalelasticity of mind and hope and whynot, after millions of years on the

worn old men, delicate maidens withhearts but new to sorrow, and manypierced with brazen spears, men slainin : fight, wearing their blood-staine- d

armor." Odysseus, Homer's hero, de-scends into Hades, and there he meetsthe spirit of his mother. Says he,"She knew me immediately" and heranxious question was, "My child, howcame you in this murky gloom, whilestill alive?" And then Homer makesbis hero say, "I yearned, though mymind hesitated, to clasp the spirit ofmy mother, even though dead. Threetimes the Impulse came; my hearturged me to clasp her. Three timesout of my arms like a shadow or adream she flitted, and the sharp painabout my head grew only more." ThenOdysseus meets the spirits of Agamem-non, Achilles and Ajax with whom heheld concourse. You see the Homericidea of immortality is very crude.

THE FUTURE LIFE

to him is but a shadow of this, but wemust remember that even his idea,crude as it is, was a mighty and won-derful concept for that day and gener-ation.

Two thousand years we pass overand come into the sunny clime of Italy.There Dante, the exile from the bosomof Florence, strikes the great note ofthe Middle Ages. Homer made thefuture life a shadowy existence, outDante in bis Divine Comedy makesthis present living world the shadowyappearance of the eternal realities ofanother existence. The Divine Com-edy is strange and grotesque, but ittestifies of the future life and declaresthat a soul must survive in the here-after, either in Hell, Purgatory or Par-adise, for the soul can never cease tobe. When Dante, an exile still fromhis native city, felt the chill of deathin the atmosphere of Ravenna, and the"faint echoes of the alien sea breath-ing through the Pineta" seemed tosummons him home; "dying in au-tumn with everything that is lovely,

Over The Door-Mat- s.

There is one society whose members can be instantly de-

tected, for they wear its badge publicly. It is the societyof well-sho- d women who wear "Dorothy Dodd" Shoes.The stylish woman is easily known by her shoes. Whenthe fashion writers talk of "the Style of a 'Dorothy Dodd'Shoe" they mean it has the distinction which attaches tothe leaders of society.A woman may be on the outer door mats of society, but ifshe wears stylish shoes her feet have entered the sacred por-tals at least. I need not claim that my shoes are stylish;every fashion writer in this country has claimed it for me.
