] Subject: Death.
y
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church,
Hamburg avenue and Weirfield
street, on the theme, "Death," the
Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor,
took as his text those words
which are found so frequently in the
earlier part of the Old Testament
scriptures, "And he died." He said:
Death is a subject of which we do
not like to speak. It is a subject we
avoid. The most of us endeavor to
forget that there is such a fact for
us. Many of us live as though we
bad eliminated it from our lives.
It >s the fashion in the church
nowadays not to preach about death
j with any frequency. For the people
quite largely do not desire sermons
on that theme. Ministers forbear to
press home its consideration. They
do not care to urge men to come to
Christ by playing on the element of
fear in their characters. And strangely
enough death and fear have been
correlative terms for generations.
Death used to ho a forceful and
popular subject for pulpit presentation.
The divines of a century and
more ago made their lasting reputations
because of their masterly expositions
of the scriptures about death.
Many a soul was swung into obedience
to God by the impulse of an intense
and vivid sermon on death.
However unwise it may be to lead
men to God and to Christ through
. fear of death, it is much more unwise
never to bring this fact to their
attention. For the life after death
I is the major part of our existence.
The days that God allots to us here
are but a minute fraction of the ages
we shall live, if we be righteous,
within Him forever. This life is not
all of life. Nor does death end all.
However difficult and distasteful a
subject death may be to discuss, it
repays investigation and consideration.
We may not care to study it,
to face it, to analyze it. But we
ought ? :->
"For death is inevitable. It is certain
that as we have come into this
world we shall, in all human probability,
go out of it. We cannot escape
death. We cannot avoid it. We
ought not to hasten it. We must
give it consideration. For it is sure
to come. We do not know the dav
or tlie hour. We cannot forecast the
time. No man can tell the order in
which we shall go hence, you and I.
But the last day will dawn upon earth
for each of us. Tttie chimes -will ring
a last farewell upon our ears. The
call of relentless death will ring
through every soul. We may not be
able to forecast death's coming, but
! he -will arrive. We may not be able
to enumerate the order of our going,
I but we shall go. For death is in;
evitable. His coming is inescapable.
He stands waiting at the terminus of
every life. And we should not fear
' if we fear God.
For death is natural. It is as nat'
ural as it is inevitable. It is as nat
ural as birth. There is nothing un
usual about it however mysterious its
processes may be. It is as natural
to die as it is to be born. Men talk
of death as though it were a hiatus.
Death is not a break. It is a method
of procession. They speak of death
5 as something that ought not to oe.
; We shall not discuss that to-day.
j But we shall assert without fear of
r contradiction that in the world as it
r is at present constituted death is a
valuable asset to humanity.
1 For death is not final but tran5
sitional. It is not a goal. It is but
. an incident in the life of the soul
- as it flies through life into eternity.
I Death is not ultimate. It is not ter.
minal. Death is not an end itself.
1 It is not the last of life though it
comes al the end of this life. For if
death is final it is at least questionable
whether it were any use to live
at all. If death is absolute and ultimate,
if it writes finis to the close of
every man's life, then in the words
of Paul, "of all men most miserabje."
There may be use and there may be
| wisaom in living simpiy ior me sane
I of living and then dying, with no
| hope of eternity, with no expectation
I of a life beyond, with no promise of
immortality. But such a philosophy,
however sound it may be for some
minds, does not appeal to me. For
I am persuaded that we live to some
greater purpose than just to die, and
go back into the dust and be forever
forgotten?forever. I am persuaded
that we are more than the flower of
the field or the grass thereof, which
to-day is and to-morrow is consumed
by the quenchable fire. For God has
written in my heart, aud I hope He
has in yours, a promise of another
life and of a nobler and a fairer
world. I look for a land and a life
that is eternal, a heavenly country.
For, to me, death is a portal.
It is a gate. It is a boon, a gift of
God, a blessing. To my mind it
writes "to be continued" after the
last word of the last chapter of the
record of every soul's earthly me lias
been inscribed upon the pages of
human history. For death is more a
beginning than an ending. It is a
door through which wc enter into the
undiscovered country. It affords us
a vision of another world the view
of which is withholden from our mortal
eyes. It releases us from the circumscriptions
of earth. It unlocks
the mystery of eternity. It unfolds
the future existence before us.
Through it we achieve a knowledge
of the unknown. To those of us who
have endeavored sincerely, however
partially Ave have succeeded, to do
the will of God and to submit our1

pomes r.6 a friend over whom we: may
fejoice. Not that we should desire
jto die. For this is a good life. Not
t lhat we should regret that we have
. uays ahead that we must fill full of
> action and of holy living. Not that
' we should pray for death as a surcease
from care and from pain and
3 from disciplines. But we welcome
1 hnd expect death, if we he in Christ,
i jis a friend, because it augments our
i days, and expands our opportunities,
i ant clarifies our vision, and intensi1
fies our knowledge. And that is
. good.
This death, which is inevitabls and
natural in the career of every man,
.whether lie be rich or poor, wise or
3 ignorant, good or bad, may be terrible,
doubtful or beautiful, according
to the manner of our lives and
.the quality of our characters. For
Ideath cannot be bought off by riches.
'Neither does ho pass the hovel. He
r is no respecter of intelligence. His
l hand is heavy and his arm is long
to seize and to project into eternity
r that which is immortal in good and
j evil men alike. And it simply depends
upon the Icind of man you are
whether death will be terrible, doubtful
or beautiful to you.
To a bad man death must be ter1
ribK That is to say, if he possesses
r the least spark of moral consciousness
or spiritual susceptibility. Aye,
it is tejrible. And it ought to be. A
bad man ought to be afraid to die. A
man whose whole life has contravened
God s law. whose continued
and cumulative effort has been to fol- (
low the lusts of his own heart nnrl '
the dictates of his own will, who has
sought not to please God, but to find 1
favor with men, who has constructively
planned and effected evert sin, ^
who has denied the call of conscience j
and deified Satan daily, ought to be
afraid to die. Death ought to be terrible
to him. In his last hours such 1
a man could best evidence that, he 1
was a man and not a beast by elevating
the fear of God to supreme prom- J
inence in his mind. A man whose
whole life as a consciously active
free moral agent has been dedicated
to the stultification of the mandates
of the Almighty and to the exaltation
of sin as a method of living ?
ought to be anxious to reverse the I
call of death and the decision of fate, c
He ought to want another chance in e
this life to fit him for the next life. .
It would be strange if bad men were
not afraid to die. It would be curious
if they could face eternity unabashed.
For death to a sinful soul
must be terrible. To co forth into t
a new life unprepared, to enter into c
the presence of eternity at enmity /
with God; what could be more awful?
Death may be doubtful. Many
men there are who, obeying tho dictates
of God as they hear them and
His laws as thoy read them, have at- ?
tained a moral eminence that is not
inconsiderable; but who, as they *
stand in the presence of the usual ^
but inscrutable mystery of ieath, a
confess that they await its power n
without hope and with simply a sci- j
entific spirit of inquisitiveness. There i
is for them no certainty of a future ,1
life. They do not protest that death
necessarily ends all. They simply express
the opinion that, so far as they
are concerned, death is a locked gate,
a sealed portal, a bolted, barred, impenetrable
door. They declare that
while there may be a life beyond this
they have no valid ground for ex- v
pressed hope therein, no reason to to
stay their souls in the expectation of 6
eternai existence. They know not. a
Theirs is the philosophy of agnostic- b
ism. Still others deny that there is
another lif? in anpther worlrl. Theirs
is the negative philosophy of atheism.
And neither is scientific or satisfying
in the largest or most enduring way.
For we need and desire and demand a
as rational and expectant human p
beings something more ;han inde- a
cision and negation. The soul re- ^
quires a true soul food. It does not ^
thrive on agnosticism or infidelity. ~
Death may be beautiful, it may be ^
welcome, it may be an inspiration. "
It is so to godly men, men of faith 1
aud of vision, men who are versed J
in the philosophy of heaven and who Cl
are acquainted with the scientific for- a;
mulae of the discipline of the soul. ~
It is beautiful and gracious to those
who are God's in Christ?supremely
so. For the Christian knows that '!
death is not only inevitable and na- g
tural, but that it is simply transi- fi
tional, that it is a portal. The D
Christian is certain that eternal life tl
is. The Christian believes from a f,
conscious experience in the fact of
God. He hopes, not without reason. r
for eternal life and .eternal blessed- c
ness within God in heaven. For has ii
not Christ assumed him that God and
heaven are? Has He not said: "I t!
?? a nlnoo for VOll And :,
fiU <-<J n. J 4J
if I go and prepare a place for you 1
will come again and receive you unto
Myself?" And Christ not only has )*
said that to the Christian through the "
medium of the Scriptures. He has ft
also spoken these words of comfort
presently to the human hearts of i;
Christian believers. And God has
ceaselessly thundered the truth of
immortality through the recesses- ol
human souls. "Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God" eternally.
E
Death, for the Christian, is to be v
welcomed, whensoever it may come, a
with a holy awe, without fear. For d
death is sublime. It is the cap of s
the climax of the Christian earthly
life. It is our illumination, our inspiration,
our reward. It enlarges 1
our joys and certifies bur hopes. We &
should await it in the spirit of that h
man of God whom the other day, in
the presence of a multitude of men,
as he stood upon the eminence of
four score years and upon the borderland
of eternity, I heard say, "I
await death with joy. To me the E
thought that I shall die is sublime.
For I know that if I die I shall live t
again." His hearers were electrified.
His tones thrilled. His hope was con- t
tagious. We, too, should await death ^
with a cheer.

I asked.
"No; our dog is mad."
"Where is the dog?"
"Down by the corn crib."
.1 stepped out of my buggy and
tarted with him for the crib, which
fas located about twenty feet from

umb brute, with a heavy leather
trap around his neck and tied with
rope to a ring on a wire running
rom the corner of the*crib to the
am. As we got in sight of the dog
e began to jump and tear at the rope
"What is the dog's name?" I asked.
"Watch."
I started to go to tne aog ana jode
aught rae by the arm. "Don't gc
lear him, he will bite you!"
"How long has the dog been tied
here?*'
"We went away yesterday morning

There /as the poor dog left foi
hirty-six hours in a burning ?ur
without a drop of water, to guard ?

ed him to the well. I pumped some

; Paper From Beet Pulp.
A report comes from Utah to the
' effect that Mr. James Brashear, a
veteran paper maker now located at
Ogden, Utah, having come from Des
Moines, Iowa, believes that he can
make paper from beet pulp and is
willing to start up a plant for this
purpole if such a one can be organI
ized. He claims to have built the Nar
tional Paper Mills, at Rock Island,
. Illinois, and to know whereof he
speaks, but we should fancy that the
; very skillful manipulators of sugar
> beets in France and Germany wouli
. have utilized the pulp for paper mak(
ing long ago if it could have been
made industrially successful.
The trouble with some of these
