fe for you and for me.
Let science slide; we'll go with the tide,
Uplift ourselves above the sod,
And claim to be a part of God;
Though God extends through time and space,
While man, alas! soon ends his race,
And whether he lives his own life again
Or is lost in the infinite, I do not think plain.

7. LESTER F. WARD, A.M., of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington.

As for immortal life, I must confess,
Science hath never, never answered "yes."
Indeed all psycho-physical sciences show,
If we'd be logical, we must answer no!
Man cannot recollect before being born,
And hence his future life must be "in a horn."
There must be _parte ante_, if there's a _parte post_,
And logic thus demolishes every future ghost.
Upon this subject the voice of science
Has ne'er been ought but stern defiance.
Mythology and magic belong to "_limbus fatuorum_"
If fools believe them, we scientists deplore 'em
But, nevertheless, the immortal can't be lost,
For every atom has its bright eternal ghost.

8. EDWARD MORSE, Ph.D., of Salem.

That immortality which Science denies
Cannot be admitted by those who are wise,
For if we give up and concede Immortality,
There's nothing to check its wide Universality.
The toad-stool and thistle, the donkey and bear
Must live on forever,--the Lord knows where.
I tell you, dear sir, that Science must wake up
And grapple these spooks to crush them, and break up
This world of delusion of Phil. D's and D.D's,
Who are all in the dark, as dear Huxley agrees,
Proud Huxley's "The Prince of Agnostics," you see,
And Huxley and I do sweetly agree.

9. PROF. JOSIAH PARSONS COOKE, LL.D. of Harvard University.

I freely confess that the life of the dead
Is a mystery alike to the heart and the head
Of all the mortals that dwell on earth,
Although revealed since our Saviour's birth,
And I fully believe in the old-fashioned God,
Who, walking in Eden, made man of a clod;
And I fully believe the same Deity still
Controls all things, here by the fiat of will.

10. EDWARD D. COPE, A.M., Ph.D., author of "Theology of Evolution."
Dr. Cope answers in a very voluminous and intricate manner, but the
following is the essence of his answer.

Of life eternal little can we know,
And yet we hope some glimmerings may grow,
By patient inference as facts appear.
I hope there's something coming near.
Science but sees extinct
