'there aro many cherishing the hope
of immortality who aro yet innocent
of the cxpertatian that another
world will hold in store for them the
Lumina which they did not, receive
and probably did not merit here. The
passionate yearning of the Jiving to
be assured of life beyond the grave
is based un something deeper thee
the desire to get something for noth-
ing. 'They arc seeking 1w crowns un-
earned.

ties of a fancy paradise. We ars

happy there. Men are not won to
bear their burdens and do their wine
by the promise of a place where
seedier burdens nor toils aro known.
Neither do men hope for heaven be-
cause they aro eaten up with the
dread of hell. Few to -day aro melt
influenced by that fear. Terrorizing
mien into piety is no longer practiced.
Wo know the effects cf love last long-

want to know whether we shell livo
and what that life shall be because
ne one is'..satisfed to lay down a
piece of work unfinished. Tho pas-
sion for immortality is the desire to
complete things, the longing to set

of its own completion, its perfection
and righteousness.
