The Most Momentous Question IF A MAN DIE, SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN? JOB. This question comes from the far-distant past, and has haunted all the ages, and never with a greater insistence and pathos than in these tragic days of the great war. The doubt implied is agonising millions of hearts. Doubt and Pear and Despair are abroad, and the minds of men are sorely amazed. Verily, there never was an age that appealed more for a strong and definite answer than the present. The darkness of the shadow of death is upon us, and, confused in its gloom, many are missing faiths mystic path of hope. With a new pathos the cry of the wanderers is heard. The night is dark, and I am far from home. They call for the Kindly Light of the Immortal Hope to guide into the path of peace the Homeward Way. All who know this way are called to let their light shine even though it be but with a feeble ray. We fain would do our bit,: and be as a hand to lift the lamp of the life to come, which may cheer the darkened heart and guide into the right way upon which ever shines the light of the dawn of the perfect day for which our tear-dimmed eyes are watching-. The considerations put forth in the following discussions have been of service to some, and now, by request, and in the hope of ministering to others, they are sent forth in this little book on their mission of consolation. The Most Definite A nswer. THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY. ST. PAUL. We have taken this quotation as summarising the final and most definite answer to be found. It is part of the Christian Gospel. With this we begin, and with this we also finish. All that comes between is to reinforce this declaration, and establish beyond reasonable doubt the fact of human immortality.
