No Life Apart from God

And now the wonderful news comes that a Dr. C. W. Littlefield of Virginia has discovered a saline powder, of which the basis is common salt, by which he can restore the dead to life. So the newspapers report, a report which by the way may be taken cum grano salis—with a grain of salt. It is reported that the doctor says that “the principle of life, in substance, is volatile magnetism.” Notwithstanding the reported “facts” that one doctor can create and another raise from the dead, men will still die. With God “is the fountain of life.” “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.” There is no life apart from God.
