Tim., iv., 8. '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. Men no longer delight in the felici- ties of a fancy paradise. We ars little concerned with golden streets. with wings and harps and all tee other uncomfortable furnishings of the cruder pictures of the blissful fu tura state. Wo have ceased to wits - der whether we shall be perfectly 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- er than those of fear. It is better kir to lead Alen to wish to do right than to force them TO FEAR TO DO WRONG. Why, then, should leen seek in. - mortality, seeing they think little either of a heaven to be won or a place of torment to be shunned? We 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.
