The following is by the late
Bob Ingersol, master of the
English language and confess
ed atheist, although his clos
ing words here would not in
dicate such:
“I know how vain it is to
guild grief with words, and
yet I would take away from
every grave its fear. Here in
this world where life and
death are equal kings, all
should be brave enough to
meet what all the dead have
met. The future has been fill
ed with fear, stained and pol
luted by the heartless past.
From the wondrous tree of
life the buds and blossoms fall
with ripened fruit, and in the
common bed of earth, patri
archs and babes sleep side by
^ide.
“ Why would we fear that
which will come to all of us.
W'e cannot tell, we do not
know which is the greater
blessing—life or death. W r e
rannot say that death is not
a good. We do not know whe
ther the grave is the end of
th.s life, or the door to anoth
er. or whether the night here
.; not somewhere else a dawn.
Neither can we tell which is
the more fortunate—the child
dying in in its mothers arms,
before its lips have learned to
form a word—or he who jour
neys all the length of life’s
uneven road, painfully taking
the last slow steps with staff
or crutch.
“Every cradle asks ‘whence’?
and every coffin ‘whither?’
Tne poor barbarian weeping
above his dead, can answer
these questions just as well as
the robed priest of the most
authentic creed. The tearful
ignorance of the one is as con
soling as the learned and un
meaning words of the other.
So man, standing where the
horizon of life has touched the
grave, has any right to pro
phecy a future filled with pain
ami t*-ars.
“It may be that death gives
ail there i.s of worth to life. If
•hose we press and strain with
in our arms could never die,
perhaps that love would wither
from the earth. It may be this
ommon fate treads from out
the path between our hearts the
weeds of selfishness and hate.
And I had rather live and love
where death is king than have
-•ternai life where love is not.
Anuth. r l.fe is naught, unless
x e k now and love again the
•,r.« ; we loved and who love u-s
he;-e.
“Tho-.- who ;tand w.*h break-
r. g hearts around th.s little
grave nto-tl have no fear. The
...rger and nobler ,n all that
ard to [♦'. tells us that
iea'.n. even at -ts worst, is

‘Tne impact of modem tech

Dr. Curtis E M.ller. ’has lift

and has brought revolutionary
fantasies into the realm of the
possible.’
Med.cal electronics is a bu-
s, ness that utilizes all applica
tions of electronics (and engi
neering technology) for the
dagnosis. treatment and mon
itoring of human health. This
year, ov^r 1000 firms turned
out such products and systems,
worth $300-1315 million.’*
When Great Britain and the
United

armies

ammumt.on and food over to
France 5000 ships! What a
colossal prtparation. 5 0 0 0 !
ships! Can you imagine that?
that through the common wants
of life—the needs and duties
of each hour—their grief will
lessen from day to day, until
at last this grave shall be to
them a place of rest and peace
—almost of joy. There is for
them this consolation: the dead
do not suffer. If they live a-
gain, their lives will surely be
as good as ours. We have no
fear. We are all children of
the same Mother, and the same
fate awaits us all. We, too,
have our religion, and it is
simply this: Help for the liv
ing—hope for the dead.”
CoOeg given
new filmstrip
“Lutheran Higher Educa
tion,” a new 118-frame film
strip on educational institu
tions of the denomination thru-
out the U. S. and Canada has
been presented to Newberry
College by Lutheran Brother
hood, Minneapolis-based fra
ternal insurance society.
Hoyle L. Allison, Columbia,
general agent for Lutheran
Brotherhood, presented the
new color filmstrip which is
being acclaimed by leaders of
Lutheran higher education in
stitutions.
Prof. Robert Farb, Professor
of Religion, accepted the film
strip in behalf of the school
and the faculty in the absence
of Dr. Wiles, President of the
College.
Newberry Lutheran College
is featured in the filmstrip a-
long with seminaries, junior
and senior colleges and Bible
schools ihat are related to the
Lutheran church. The color
slideflim offers a brief pictor
ial visit to the campuses. It
is designed to supplement the
printed Lutheran Higher Edu
cation directory which provides
comparative information about
North American denomination
al schools for prospective stu
dents.
Both the directory and the
filmstrip are made available
by Lutheran Brotherhood as
a service to the student coun
selors and young people desir
ing an overview of Lutheran
schools. Although provided
mainly for students deciding
upon college and theological
careers, a copy of the film
strip is being made available
to each Lutheran school.
