Review of Arguments for Immortality
By Editor
MAN'S DESTINY—IMMORTALITY.—The Arguments from Nature and Scripture by—T. M. Post, D. D., of St. Louis, Mo.: Reviewed by Geo. Storrs, Editor of Bible Examiner, New York. This is the title of a new pamphlet which we have just received. Some idea of the work and the circumstances which led to its publication may be gathered from the following extract from the publisher's preface: "Rev. T. M. Post, D. D., of St. Louis, Mo., a well known and talented clergyman, was selected by certain ministers and others, in New England, to write a Prize Essay on IMMORTALITY, for which a gentleman in New York paid $150. It was intended to have it the best that could be said or written in favor of the immortality of all men, without regard to their moral character; that is, of their inherent immortality. Dr. Post took up the subject under two heads of argument. First, 'The argument from Nature;' and second, 'The argument from Scripture.' The first of these appeared in The New Englander of February, and the other in May. The Reviewer has followed these Arguments in their order." We have not yet had time to examine the work, but we presume the Reviewer has as thoroughly refuted the fable of natural immortality this time as he has been wont to do in time past. It is a neat 12 mo. pamphlet of 156 pages, and can be had by addressing Geo. Storrs, Box 4658, New York.
