AbLt- eM W pALm -.4rz Religion for Today The Hope of Immortality A Weekly Talk By Bey. I. IL Nicholson A story is told of John Quin- cy Adams, ex-President of the Ulnited States, that in bis 8th year, he was walking one-day on the streets of Boston, when he met a friend. 'Good Morn- ing,' said the friend; 'and hoil is John Quincy Adams today?' "hank you,' was the reply. "John Quincy Adams is well; quite well, I thank you. But the house in which he lives is becoming dilapidated; the tene- znent is almost uninhabitable! 1 think John Quincy Adamns will bave to move out before long; but he himself is well, quite wel."' Dr. H. E. Fosdick says that those words "make you feel like lifting your hat to that doughty old patriot, facing calmly the fact that his body was about to be ieveiled to the dust, yet go- ing bis way undaunted-kcnow- ing positively that he was not his body but an inmortal Somnething, which had used his body and now was done with Man bas always yearned for im.mortaiity and for assurance that there is life after death. Every healthy man feels in- stinctively that he is not goingi to perish in the grave, but will live again. This feeling has been weIl expressed in the familiar words of Tennyson: FINE QUALITY MONUMENTS AND p4ARWK iRç OF STAFFORD 1, ACBROS.

It is always interesting and heipful ta consider what great' men and wamen have thought in regard ta death and immor- 1 tality. Lord Tennyson was a firm believer in liUe after death. In no great author bas the faith af imniortality been mare deep and strang. "I can hardly .un- derstand", he said, "1how any. great, imaginative man who: has deeply lived, suffered,, thought and wrought, can doubt of the soul's continuous progress in after life." He believed in the Christian doctrine of theý personal recognition of friends in the after world. Referring 10 his dear friend, Arthur Hallam, who died in Vienna, he said in his beautiful elegy: "And I shall know Hlm when we mccl." When he was 81 years of age,: and knew that his end was near, Lord Tennyson wrote - bis famious poem,,"Crassing the iBar", in which he expresses in beautiful imagcry the calm hope of living again. "For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place Thé flood may bear me far, I hope ta sec my PiloI face ta. fa ce When I have crost the bar." Longfellow says: "There is no Death! What seems so is transition; This life of martal breath Li1oyd Is but a suburb af the lie tinued his) elysian, eevn ti Whosc portai we cal Death" reeîvin t Many persans fear dcath and bed they speak of it as "the great Redelemier impérial tragedy", "the last cnemy", "the cruel assassin" and "The king of terrors". But this is senscless cowardice, for death is inevitable and harin- less. As Christians we have absolutely nothing to fear. Death cames to us, not as' an 4 enemny but as a xessenger of peace, summoning us ta hie Ont., 31! 1959. 1%r. John Jamies,. Bowmanvile, Ont.

Mac- jRae, head of, the tobacco divi- sional farm service of the fed- eral department 'of agriculture, in a speech ini Port Hope Satur- day night. Such an organization could be of immense heip 10 the industry, .he suggested. Annuai Dinner Dr. MacRae spoke to more thaft 200 tobacco farm owners, share. croppers,. their wives and palace of the King. Many Christian men and wa- men have weicomed death as a friend. Their calm assurance of imnmortality and triumphant end, have been a source of in- spiration, hope and courage to ail mankind. Dwight L Moody, the great evangelist, when dying, ex- claimed: Earth recedes: heaven opens before me. It is beau ti- fui. Il is like a trance. If MhS is death, it is sweet. There is no valley here. G3od is calling me and I must go. John Wesley faced eternity in perfect confidence and lef t as his last testimony these words: "The best ofall is, God is with us." To the brave Christian mnan t.he prospect of death is thrill- ing, and when his time cornes ta leave the world, he embraces death with a glad heart. The Apostle yaxil said ini writing to hW friends, ni Philippi: 'Tor me to live is Christ ta die is gain."
