Last Sermon (Continued from Page 1) | the few short years which is our destined sojourn upon this earth. Or this natural hope of immor- tality may be an expression of the fundamental instinct of self-preser- vation, an urge to continue this experience of self-consciousness which has been attained by human beings. However we may account for it, this hope of immortality, this nat- ural human longing for continued existence beyond death, is univers- ally present, ; The ancient Egyptians believed in a personal immortality. At first it was considered possible only for | the Pharaohs, the worshippers of | the sun, Then later the Osiris | faith, which insisted that a man | was judged in heaven upon his record in life, brought a promise of immortality for everybody. lhe ancient Cninese nad a faith in immortality, and when they buried a great man, they sent along with him those persons whom he would need for a satisfyinz life in the hereafter. At first they buried with him his wife and household servants, Later on, becoming more humane, they were content to bury in the grave with him the images of these persons, You may see in the Provincial Museum a very interest- ing collection of these relics which were recovered from an ancient grave in China. The Hindus had a belief in a future life, only the future life was lived again in this world in another form. It was a transmigration of soul, the spirit was re-incarnated in another animal, higher or lower according to the life one had pre- viously lived. The ancient Hebrews came gradu- ally to believe in the continuation of life, but- their Sheol, the abode of the dead, was a shadowy under- world, without any of the joy and fulness of a normal earthly exists ence. Many of the ancient Greeks, too, believed in the continued existence of the soul of the person. When Crito asked Socrates how he wished to be buried, he replied: "In any way that you like; only you must get hold of me, and take care that I do not walk away from you . . . Be of good cheer, then, my dear Cito, and say that you are bury- ing my body only, and do with that as is usual, and as you think best." The early inhabitants of this con- tinent, the Red Indians, had a similar faith. They believed in a future " happy-hunting ground" and when they buried a warrior they placed in his grave his bow and arrows and other articles which they thought he would require as equipment in that other life. We cannot go into the differences in detail among these various views, but they indicate that there is al- most a universal longing for, and faith in, a continued existence after death. It is found among normal people of every race and age. The Modern Loss of This Natural Hope 'The second point which I want to bring before you is that in recent years there has been a widespread 10ss of this -natufal human belief in a continued existence after death. However we may accoun for it, and I daresay that there are many different causes which affect people indifferently, I am quite sure | nat a great many people ay | have no certain conviction about immortality, One outstanding cause of - this widespread loss of faith in immor- tality is the type of materialistic philoscphy which has been widely expounded and accepted in the western world in recent years. There are some able men who pro- fess to believe that everything in the world can be accounted for by Science in terms of mechanical en- ergy. They do not believe in a per- sonal God who has created the world for a spiritual purpose. They do not believe in any enduring or immortal spiritual values. They think that since man is only a cer- tain combination of atoms or elec- trons, then at what we call death these particles of matter or energy disintegrate and change in form, and there is nothing else which survives. That is a philosophy of life, or rather one might call it a philosophy of death, which is wide- spread. It lies behind a great deal of current literature in magazines and novels. It has been accepted by many people, and has resulted in a loss of faith in any personal survival after death. Another cause of modern loss of faith in immortality is the tendency to become absorbed in the pursuit of material things, and the enjoy- ment of sensual pleasures. A very large number of people imagine that life consists in the abundance of the things which they possess. They have sought to gain a multi- tude of things, and the result has been that they have lost their in- terest in spiritual realities, and their faith in continued life. Many others imagine that life consists only 'in sensations, and because life has meant for them no more than the satisfying of their senses, they lose faith in immortality, because the physical senses die at what we call death. When a man's supreme interest in life becomes the accumulation of possessions, it is little wonder that he finally loses all interest in life and becomes so bored that he does not want it to be continued. When a woman spends her time upon frivolities, and avoids so far as possible all real social responsi- bility, living the life of a butterfly, {1t is not surprising that she be- j comes disappointed and disgusted {with the world and loses faith in that kind of life to last for. ever. It is not worth continuing. The logical end of that type of life. is the conclusion which a wise man of old preached: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!" When the main interest in life becomes the grining of more possessions, or the enjoyment of more pleasures, loss o® faith in immortality is a natur- | al consequence. There is nothing intrinsically immortal in that kind of life, Recovery of Christian Faith in Immortality Now I ccme to the chief point which I want to present to you, the recovery of a Christian Faith in im. mortality. Without such a faith no generation will ever accomplish much of enduring value. The key to the recovery of Christian Faith in Immortality lies not in the realm of scientific discovery, nor in the sphere of speculative philosophy. It is to be found rather through Christian conduct, through living a life which is worthy of being eternal, a life inspired by faith in ang fellowship with Jesus Christ. Wiien a person becomes supreme. . ly interested in spiritual values which are enduring, when he be- comes absorbed in the pursuit of Truth, in the creation of the Beau. tiful, and in the attainment of the Geod, as these are found in Jesus, life becomes so enlarged, so worth. while, that he wants it to continue, and his fait), in immortality is re. vived. I dont mean to imply that this faith in Christan mmortalty is merely wishful thinking, that be. dause we desire it, therefore we 'be. lieve in it, although Rcbert Brown. ing makes Bishop Blougram say: "What think ye of Christ, friend, when all's done and said? Like you this Christianity or not? It may be false, but would you have it true? Has it your vote to be so if it can?" But I do mean to say that when a person lives his life for spiritual values, the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, he does come: into con. tact with that which is eternal in this world, he is linked up with that which endures, and he comes to have a conviction that there 3 in his life that which will last past the experience which we call death. That faith in, and pursuit of spiritual values may be very pro- perly described in another way as unselfish devotion to the purpadse of Ged for humanity, We come to believe that this world is not mere. ly a matter of chance, not a chaos of atoms which has just happened, but rather that it is a universe which f1as been created by a Mind, a Spirit, for a punpose. And in the discovery of that purpcse, and in the unselfish devoiion of oneself with all his energy and powers to the fulfilment of that purpose, one becomes linked up with the eternal Creator Spirit in such a way that his life beccrmes a part of God's and is eternal in quality. Many of us reach this Christian faith in immortality through our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We find in Jesus, and in his devoted sacrifice for the Kingdom of God, this type of life which is the very life of God, and which noth. ing, not even what we call death, can ever destroy. As we come into fellowship with Jesus, through faith, and love, and obedience, we come to experience a quality of life which is eternal, ie, a type of life which we believe not even the decay and dissolution of our physical body can destroy. An Interest in Spiritual Values There are few things which our generatien needs more than to re. capture this Christian faith in im. mortality. The reason for the unrest and weariness and boredom of much of modern life, is that we have lost this faith and we have lost it because we have been living the kind of life which is not worth con. tinuing. The key to the recovery of our Christian faith in immortality lies in an interest in spiritual val. ues which are eternal. We can' do this best by linking up our lives with Jesus, in self-sacrificing devo. tion to the purpose of God in the redemption of the world. May this Easter day help to strengthen our faith and enable us to live the life which is immortal! Amen!
