IS MAN IMMORTAL?

By Editor

A RECENT REVIEW contained an extract from a late sermon preached in New York City by the well-known clergyman, Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, on the immortality question, and the position was taken that the soul is not immortal. Many prominent ministers throughout the country are thinking upon the same subject with Dr. Parkhurst, and are boldly giving expression to their conviction. Their sermons and their writings are constantly calling the attention of the public to this important question, and the people generally are becoming interested in the study of the nature of man. There is no religious subject at the present time more interesting to the public mind than this one, and it is a favorable opportunity to place our publications treating directly on this subject. It is providential that these interests are created for us, and we should be faithful and prompt in disseminating the light intrusted to us as a people when these favorable investigative waves sweep the thinking portion of the public easily within our reach.

Lying on our shelves are thousands of volumes of that most opportune work, “Here and Hereafter,” which should be in the possession of the people. Wherever this book has gone in the past, it has defeated Spiritualism, which appeals to the popular views of the condition of man in death as a foundation for its claims. It reveals the teaching of the Scriptures so clearly that purgatory, saint worship, Universalism, and a host of other errors, which are based on the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, are shown to have no divine authority and no Scriptural right to exist. The entire doctrine of the immortality of the soul is traced from its origin to its ultimate end, as is illustrated in the following cut:—

This diagram is one of the illustrations taken from the book; and it is designed to bring before the mind of the reader at one view, the real origin of the doctrine of the immortality of the soul, and the nature of its fruit. Those who read the book and examine the testimony of the Scriptures therein brought forth will be convinced of the truth made clear in the illustration.

Every church should have a number of these books to loan to those who cannot buy them, and every member of every church should sell this book to his neighbors at this favorable time.

The size of the book is 5 x 7¾ x ¾ inches. It contains 357 pages, is neatly bound in cloth, and sells for $1, postpaid.
