The religious world has been stirred by Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst’s recent utterance anent the death of the soul. The doctor, very logically and Scripturally, finds nothing to warrant natural immortality. The Literary Digest remarks that the view is “not a new one.” We should say not. We may trace it back through many and eminent moderns to the apostles and the Bible itself, and back through the Bible from the Revelation to Genesis. And yet one paper, the Star of Zion, of Charlotte, N. C., says:— A pious shudder runs over the Christian church as it reads this erroneous, diabolical, and damaging theory that the soul is not immortal. O!! Evidently the Star does not hope in Jesus as Life-giver. It seems to prefer the words of that other character, “Ye shall not surely die; ye shall be as God.” We are glad that Dr. Parkhurst has the courage of his convictions.
