The Soul's Immortality.
Arrets, Or., Oct. 6. To th Editor
of . The Journal In Th Journal, Sep
tember 80,. I saw a short article on
the soul's immortality, by one Father
Sherman, which I wish to criticise. In
order to establish & Scriptural doctrine
of so great Importance it Is necessary
to refer -to the- Scripture to prove the
proposition I notlco. in his article.
Not one ' has he referred to the
Scripture to 'prove his position.
I wiah th readers of The Journal
to iook up tne ronowing scripture;
at the same time abandon all previous
theology and take only the Scripture
for their guide.
Texts-to refer to:
First Tim.. 1st chanter. 17th verse.
also th chapter, 18th verse. First Cor.,
torn cnapier, aaa -verse, nec. uor., 1st
chapter, 10th verse, Ezekiel, 18th chap
ter, 4th and 20th Verses, - Psalm 37,
Obd., lfth verse.

It is wrong, It is wicked, to let theso
gulfs of silence ODen between nnrnnia
and children.
Where shall the young poople go with
their troubles and burdens? To the
too busy father who hns never shown
any comprehension of his children? To
the over-burdened mother whom father
never trusts to share his thoughts? No,
they will go to some ntranirer who do
not possess the gift of silence. Some
body who has time to listen, who shows
signs of a human understanding, who
Is wllllnar to a-lve as well aa tn tv
confidences.
And when it is too lnte whan th
mother sorrows over the wrong step
that the daue-hter took because sh list
ened to a stranger's counsel, when tho
father grieves over the boy's mistake
which his Judgment mle-ht h,n
fled, they may comfort themselves
with the sorrv thoutrht that it i k...
the natural result from the determined
silence and unsympathetic reticence
with which they surrounded themselves
and which made the atmosphere of th
homo too heavy and oppressive for th
growth of tender COnfidenrea
old and young. It Is a nltv mor it .
an unpardonable wrong, to make the
young people's home life so hard for
them and to predispose them to carry
ing their little pleasures and troubles
i iriiKra wnom tney nnd more un
derstanding than mother and father.
