Is Death a Reality?

By Editor

"Is death a reality, or only a wise and beautiful change?" is a question discussed by Dr. E. B. Wheelock in a late number of The Carrier Dove. Of course the conclusion arrived at is that there is no death; that "what we call death is only transition." It is significant that while this is in harmony with the teachings of the modern orthodox (?) pulpit it is contrary to the word of God. Death according to the Scriptures is a sleep, a state of unconsciousness, but popular theology and Spiritualism make it a state of great activity and increased knowledge. We prefer to believe the Bible.
