Immortality -
(By William J Bryan) )
If the father dains to touch '1
with devine power the- cold and
pulseless heart of the buried
acorn and to make it burst forth '
from its prison walls will he
leave ' neglected in earth 1 the
soul of man made in the image
of his creator? If he stoops to
give to the rosebush whose with-
ered blossoms - float upon ' the
autumn breeze the sweet assur-
ance of another spring time will
he refuse the words of hope to
the sons of men when the frosts
of winter come? If matter mute
and inanimate though changed
by the forces of nature into a
multitude of forms can never
die will the spirit of man suffer
annihilation when it has paid a
brief visit like a- royal guest to)
this teniment of clay? No I am
as sure that there is another life
as J am that I live today 1
Ih Cairo ! secured few grains
of wheat that had slumbered for
more than three thousand years '
in an Egyptian tomb As I look-
ed po a them this thought came
lnjnytnd:If one of those
gtains hadbeCn plantedjEtn the'
banks'of the Nile one year after
it grew and all of its lineal de--cendents
had been planted and:
replanted from that”” time uhtHi
now its progeny to day would
be sufficiently numerous to feed
the- teeming millions of the
world There is in the grain oft
wheat an invisible something:
that uas power to discard the
body that we see and from earth
and air fashion anew body so
much like the old one that we
cannot tell the one from the oth-
er and if this invisable germ of
life in the grain of wheat can
thus pass unimpaired through
three thousand resurrections T
shall not doubt that my soul has
power to clothe itself with a
body suited to its new existance
when this earthly frame - has
crumbled into dust
