The obsequies of a truly great scholar recently conducted in one of our American colleges, reminded one of the lines: "When a good man dies--for years beyond his ken. The good he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men." , It was in an hour set apart front the strain and stress of our modern life, an hour of solitude when in introspection one's thoughts might easily turn to immortality. Who has not had experiences in which the stern realities, of life challenge our most seriouat thought, especially as we face the alternative of life --that vast unknown we call "hereafter." Two words hold our. attention when we try to unravel the mystery ; one is law and the other is power.- . Law is an outward force which brings liberty, if we obey it! Power is an inward force, an internal, dynamic. Disobedience to law brings a penalty. Disregard for inner power results in impotency. Immortality is not an outward reward but an inner right we already possess. Whether we like it or not, we are immortal, said a wise philosopher. Immortality cannot be proven by scientific speculation. No one ever came back, in spite of all attempts, to tell us what the world beyond was like. The wise Greek who died from his cup of hemlock, saw in those last moments beyond the "colder reason's part." Perhaps the wisest course is to ponder questions of immortality rather than to seek illusive evidences of it. . Let us ask, What use am I making of my immortality? What difference does it make if death does not end all? What does immortality do for me? If we are to live eternally, how shall we live? Life is without meaning to the fatalist; to the one who believes in immortality, it is charged with purpose and with power. Robert Browning wrote, "If there is a heaven, there must be a hell." Is life only an enigma or is it an entity capable of endless endeavor? If a man is not going to die eternally, what does he think about? Thoughts shape the material, but the material does not shape the lifegiving action of the thought. One may create in likeness, a beautiful rose, but by no conceivable power can thought give life to the rose. Life is power which abides within. We are subject, therefore, to two kinds pf forces: law without and power within. The latter may be our inheritance, the former, our environment. Both are necessary to human progress not only in its tangible achievement, but in its intangible expectation. Our obedience to law and our surrender to internal power determine our destiny. "Choice goes on forever twixt the darkness and the light." The organ is not music, npr is the marble the message of the sculptor. They are the instruments through which the artist can express himself. In similar way, personality expresses itself through a body. Its expansion is realized in culture and in experience. The thought of immortality in civilizations long since decayed has been and ever shall be the pinnacle of unseen power drawing humanity upward and on. We cannot lose that thought in our gen? eration. Man's first discovery is nature's law of death, but his later discovery may be expressed in tk<5 thought which Addison puts into Plato's mind: "Thou reasonst well; else whence this pleasing hope, this fond desire, this longing after immortal-, ity?" . © Western Newspaper Union. .

Dr. Haywood J. Pearce Jr., professor of American history at Emory university in Atlanta, with "the "Virginia Dare" stone. It is a black rock bearing chiseled letters on both sides, which promise to, furnish a new chapter in American history. The rock was brought to Emory university last November by a man who said he found it on the east bank of the Chowan river in North Carolina. On one side is a crude Latin cross and beneath it the lines: "Any Englishmen shew John White Govr Via." On the side shown above is a message in old English lettering, signed "E. W. D.", believed to be the initials of Eleanor White Dare, mother of Virginia Dare, presumably addressed to Eleanor's father, Gov. John White. It stated that the Roanoke colonists were besieged with misery and worry after White left, and that half of them died within tw years. Later, according to the inscription, savages killed all but seven of the colonists, including Ananias and Virginia Dare. Eleanor closes the message by offering a reward to anyone who vnM stow tUs steae to her father. SUMMER BREEZES Butterflies exist to within 800 mites of the North pole.
