The conquest of the '3 j Lime Kiln Crossing, some fourteen 18 miles below Detroit, and the most e ; troublesome spot on the inland seas, i l" j has kept Government engineers busy " t for years, made contractors wealthy, ] 0 I and annually furnished employment 1 7 | for hundreds of skilled drill and ; dredge men. j j Were all the collisions, groundings ( and other accidents that have taken , r place in the vicinity of the Lime Kiln j v ' Crossing to be enumerated the show- ] e ! ing would be impressive. ] 0 Now thiB most perplexing problem { of removing this hindrance to further I ! f 1 marine development is well along to- j (j | ward a solution that will, it is confi- j 3 e | dently predicted, eliminate trouble for : 2 3 ! ail time.

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. JOHN WESLEY HILL Thome: The Future Life. New York City.?Sunday morning, at the Metropolitan Temple, the pastor, Dr. John Wesley Hill, preached a eermon on' "The Future Life," taking for his text: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job 14:14. Among Dther things, he said: Whether immortality can be proved or not depends upon the character of the proof demanded. It cannot be proven as you prove a problem in geometry or demonstrate a law in chemistry. This is true not only of aur arguments for immortality, but of 3ur reasoning touching all the facts involving the deepest and highest life. You cannot by triangulation prove your mother's love, nor by chemical analysis discover the secret 5f a tear. You cannot extract music from an organ with a corkscrew, or sweep up sunshine with a broom; neither do you invoke mathematics md logic to justify your sympathies. !t is just as impossible to apply these jrocesses to the problem of immortalty. "Ye do always err," said Christ .0 the Sadducees, "not knowing the Scriptures, neither the power of 3od." Yet our belief in immortality s more than an emotion, and beyond ;he assurances of God's Word there ire evidences all about us, in facts md experiences which enable us to sxclaim, "This mortal must put on mmortality." The idea of immortalty is an intuition, voicing Itself in iniversal human nature. Hunger Deans iooa, not in relation iu tuts >enniless tramp alone, who gazes into he window where the prosperous nan sits at his feast, but in relation o the general order and adjustment if the universe. But there is somehing in man related to immortality iven deeper and more potent than deire?something working with a preision beyond the highest efforts of he intellect, and which from the tandpoint of reason is simply miractlous. Look at it. The little squirel carries an alrpanac in its brain, y which it stores in its nest proision for the coming winter. The lee is possessed of such a perfect ompass that for miles it will fly traight back to its hive; and these irds of passage which are once more llling the treetops with song, at preisely the right time make their way ver river 4nd forest, over lake and ilain, to find here in the North, in he summer time, food, and yonder a the South, for the winter time, ood. Instinct is thus as unerring s a God inspired prophet, and I have right to say that if instinct in the :>wer creation works with such unrring accuracy, surely God will not isappoint this inexplicable something zithin my heart which cries out for ight and life, and longs for a better lome beyond the grave. This docrine of the future life being peculiar o Christianity, it has been a favorte object of attack by every school f infidelity since its announcement, t has been condemned as false beause it involves a mystery. The obector confounds two things essenlally different, mystery as to fact nd mystery as to mode. A fact may e plain while the mode of its existnce may be mysterious. Take a few lustrations. The fact of gravitation ; indisputable, but who understands :s original philosophic and executive ower? How does it bind all worlds ito unity, maintaining the architectral branches of the universe? Who nderstands the law of organic rowth and development? What is moion? How is it communicated from ne body to another? We may reaDn, we may advance step by step, but tie end of these processes are beond our power of analysis: so that re are ooii^ea 10 otjneve iauis, uie lodes of which are beyond our unerstanding. It is urged again, that lis doctrine is contrary to the immtable principles of science. Would : not be well for the objector to esiblish some ultimate system of :ience from which there can be no ppeal? No science is perfect. It as been the business of one age to lodifv and improve the science of the receding age. A future age will excise the learned follies of this, cience has been snail-like in its proress: With all its boasted ability, required nearly six thousand years >r science to discover so simple a ling as the circulation of the human lood. With the earth and the sky ill of electricity, science was five lousand years in bringing that, imleasurable force to light. Turn ack a few pages of history and telejraphy was not scientific; science rjghed at the possibility of the tele one; science jomea wun commerce i deriding the validity and value of le Marconi system of wireless tel?raphy. The fact is, science is still q infant; it is scarcely out of its vaddling clothes; it can barely stand lone. Is it entitled to more cresnce than the Bible? Must this old Dlume, hoary with the age of ceniries. written by the finger of in)iration, born at Sinai, completed nid the splendors of the Apocalypse, hose footprints are seen in the umbled dust of earth's wrecked and lined greatness, whose teachings e Godlike, whose precepts are thuner-given, whose promises are the Dpe of the world?fly the track be>re the gorgeous diction and sacrigious pretension of a sceptical sciice or ungodly philosophy? But I iil to see any relevancy in the obction. In what department of real ience are those principles found tat conflict with the doctrine of iraortality? I appeal to all the dis>veries in the wide range of scienfic investigation for an answer. Jience is not a textbook of revelaon, nor is it the essential foundation ' religious faith. Yet we are able i cite some of its fundamental prinples as corroborative of the Scripiral idea of life beyond the grave, he conservation of force is a princie recognized by all schools of sciice. Under the operation of this w, we are told that the fall of a tmDric needle upon tne carpet exts an immeasurable influence, and iat the lifting of the hand sends vi ations through the stellar avenues. ) absolute and far reaching is this w, thru so eminent an authority as ! )hn Fiske says: "The track of ery car.oe, of every vessel that has >t disturbed the ocean, remains forrer registered in the future moveents of all succeeding particles hich may occupy its space. In like anner, the air itself is one vast nrary, on whose pages are forever ritten all that man has ever thought whispered." Thus we are coming know that in the divine economy ere is no such thing as waste. Geoljists tell us That millions of years :o, sunlight fell upon .a carboniferis period, and now in these late cenries we gather those same beams light to brighten the night and arm our homes: so that in the black up of coal there is packed away and hidden from Bight the light which j was first created by the fiat of God. And dare we assign a broader destiny j . to the material than the spiritual? j We are;told that these forces of na- | ture are stern, unbending and Inexor- I able, sweeping through all space, [ binding all worlds and imperial over j all creation; but they cannot bind the 3 mind that solves the problems, de- I 1 ciphers the hieroglyphics, utilizes 1 ? gravitation, harnesses the trade I j winds, subsidizes the lightning and I * interprets the literature of the stars, j 1 Herein is the triumph of the soulk j * that it subordinates matter, plays | upon the keys of physical power, tri- 1 umphs over the forces of nature, and ? becomes in a lofty though secondary f sense a creator. And must heat, , light, electricity and gravitation , sweep on forever, and the mind, with its full orbed powers, its God-or- j dained attributes and boundless capacity, be shrouded in eternal night? j If matter is indestructible, is not the spirit of man of more value than the gain of sand that defies all disin- a tegrating agencies? These great principles of science are not cited as positive proof, for science cannot I radically teacl} immortality of the ^ soul, since it is founded upon the } discoveries of the senses; but we do ( find In these laws of nature some j J striking and significant analogies, j J and, studying them, we are comforted * even by their mute testimony, and ? our faith is strengthened in the immortality of man. But again, this doctrine has been assailed upon the r ground that it is contrary to the im- t mutable laws of nature. This argu- ^ ment has no standing in court, since I immortality is not under the control t of natural, but spiritual laws. Paul * said, "Thou fool, knowest thou not a that which thou soweth is not quick- ? ened except to die?" Here is an appeal to nature, yet the Christian's faith must stand upon the Word of T God rather than the laws of nature, notwithstanding nature is full of analogies to help our minds and if possible to strengthen the foundation i ? of faith in the future life. Let us j \ take a few glances at this question I i from the standpoint of nature. "The ! c tree, though bare, though covered ! J with the ice of winter, thougn there j * is no bursting bud to be seen, yet j B when the springtime returns the bud swells, the leaves reappear, the flow- t ers crown the branches and the tree brings forth fruit after its kind." Here is an awakening, a resurrection to glorious life. And is it not an inti- c mation that beyond the winter of jj death there is eternal spring, where g the soul will unfold in perennial beauty, and where life shall take on immortal glory? There is the cater- * pillar, a loathsome thing .to look upon.f It falls asleep, weaves itself I ? a winding sheet, and is sepulchred J in its chrysalis for weeks. There is I no sign of life, no indication of ani- j t mation, yet suddenly the chrysalis J a bursts open, and instead of the loath- ! i some worm that fell asleep, there j comes forth a butterfly, which en- i * chants us with its beauty. Great is j the mystery. Who can understand it? Is it not prophetic? Is it not 1 j symbolic of another resurrection? j John exclaims, "It doth not yet ap- I pear what we shall be." Paul de? ! clares, "Our vile bodies shall be fash-' t ioned like unto His own glorious | l body." Though buried in the earth, | j; though no block or shaft mark the | ^ resting place of the Christian, God's 1 ^ Word for it, he shall rise again, and j e if such a transformation is possible in j . the life of a worm, who shall attempt | *! to limit the possible transformation ; ? awaiting the human body, which is j ' the temple of the goul immortal? j J Surely, it shall come forth changed. I a sublimated and glorified. Nature ; t does not absolutely prove this, but i 1; her striking analogies all point in i that direction, and we are justified in j c accepting them as the revelations of I j( God. The final evidence, however, | v of the doctrine of immortality no less : than that of the resurrection, rests \ upon the resurrection of Jesus Christ, j Paul declares Him to be "the first j *, fruits of them that sleeD," and again, j c "If Christ be not risen from the dead, j then there is no resurrection of the j d dead; but if Christ be risen from the \ V dead, how say some among you that j h there be no resurrection?" He was ! e our Heaven appointed prototype. He j -j came into the world as our federal ^ representative, and therefore, since He assumed a human body and re- j! sumed that body changed and glori- ^ fled after It had been buried for three s days, is powerful argument that we j also shall share In His resurrection, i He met death as our representative, ! 0 suffered Himself to be taken captive C] that He might "lead captivity cap- | tive." He met death in his own ter- i ritory, plucked out his sting, robbed ' him of his crown, devastated his era- j pire. kindled thei star of immortality in the night of death, and three davg ! hence, was seen standing upon th8 ; verge of the sepulchre crowned with victory. "Up from the grave He arose, A mighty victor o'er His foes; He arose a victor o'er the dark domain, | And He lives forever with the saints to ' reign. Hallelujah! Christ arose!" Because He lives, we shall live also. Three Sufficient Proofs.1 once met a thoughtful scholar who told me that for years he had [ read every book he could which as- i sanea ine religion oj. jesus vuhbi, and he said he should have become ; anjnfidel but for three things: "First, I am a man. I am going : somewhere. To-night I am a day i nearer the grave than I was last I night. I have read all such books \ can tell me. They shed not one scli- i tarv ray upon the darkness. They j shall not take away the only guide, 1 and leave me stone-blind. "Second, I had a mother. I saw j her go down into the dark valley j where I am going, and she leaned i upon an unseen arm as calmly as a ; child goes to sleep on the breast of its j _ mother.
