Tue Easter Hope. 
A scientific analysis of the brain 
will never reveal the soul to man. 
Science looks down and pulls out an 
answer for us by deduction but sci- 
ence and deduction do not and cannot 
answer the question of life—“if man 
die shall he live again?” Ever since 
the days of Aristotle, the Greek, and 
the day the unknown Egyptian carved 
on an ancient tablet “what of the fu- 
ture’ man has been using the tele- 
scope of knowledge and philosophy 
to try to see afar into the future. 
Every race has built up its own con- 
ception of immortality upon the faith 
which is inherent in man. The 
great pyramids are attestations of the 
Egyptian faith in immortality—cor- 
poreal and in the flesh. The reasons 
for immortality have been inspired by 
the inherent faith which man has in 
a future life. ‘The reason becomes 
active because of man’s faith in im- 
mortality, not_a faith in immortality 
because reason presses in and com- 
pels it. 
The arguments for immortal life 
are many. Plato reasoned to it from 
the indivisibility of the soul. Aris- 
totle’s immortality is not personal but 
racial. ‘The race of man continues 
eternally, but the man dies. The 
modern theories of the conservation 
of energy and the correlation of 
matter, the indestructibility of world 
matter and world forces, are seized as 
hints of the indestructible soul. The 
analogies of nature in the developing 
crysalis and the awakening spring are

conjured up but fail because the 
transformation is followed by death 
and the season of life is followed by 
the season of death. 
The prophets, the preachers, the 
poets follow the hope of Christ. He 
asserts faith as the way of life. 
Easter is dedicated to man’s faith in 
the immortal life because of the Res- 
urrection of Christ and His eternal 
abiding revelation of an Eternal God 
who “breathed into man the breath 
of life.” Jesus never argued about 
the eternal life. Paul’s great passage 
in his letter to Corinthians is but a 
noble expression of the faith in im- 
mortal life revealed to him by the 
Resurrection Life of his Master, Je- 
sus Christ. ‘There is a natural body 
and there is a Spiritual body.” A 
practical illustration is given in Dr. 
Wilfred T. Grenfell’s experience on 
Easter, 1908, as he floated away out 
to sea on a pan of ice, hoping against 
hope to be rescued: 
“T can honestly say that from first 
to last not a single sensation of fear 
ever entered my mind, even when 
struggling in the . slob ice. Now 
mostly, I felt sleepy, and the idea 
was very strong in my mind that I 
should soon reach the solution of the 
mysteries that I have been preaching 
about for so many years. Only the 
previous night (Easter Sunday) we 
had been at prayers in the cottage, 
discussing the fact that the soul was 
entirely separate from the body, that 
Christ’s idea of the temple in which 
the body dwells is so amply borne out 
by modern science. We had talked 
of thoughts from that admirable book 
on Brain and Personality by Dr. 
Thompson of New York and also of 
the same subject in the light of a re- 
cent operation performed at the Johns 
Hopkins Hospital by Dr. Harvey 
Cushing. The doctor had removed 
from a man’s brain two large cystic 
tumors without giving the man an 
anesthetic and the patient had 
kept up a running conversation 
with him all the while the doc- 
tor’s fingers were working in his 
brain. Our eternal life has always 
been with me a matter of faith; it 
seems to me one of those mysteries 
that must always be a mystery to 
knowledge. But my own faith in 
this matter has been so. untroubled 
that it seemed now almost natural to 
be leaving through this portal on the 
ice pan.”

THE Essex County AGRICULTURAL 
ScHoor BILL. 
The Essex County Agricultural 
School Bill is slated to come up this 
week. It provides $35,000 to be 
given by state and $35,000 to be 
given by the county for its construc- 
tion and inauguration, and provides 
for an annual grant of $10,000 from 
the state for maintenance. ‘The bill 
was presented two years ago and was 
vetoed by Governor Draper because 
insufficiently investigated and_ be- 
cause of the reference clause to the 
Industrial Commission which was 
then soon to go out of existence. The 
bill is now re-introduced and is rec- 
ommended unanimously by the com- 
mittee. Such a school if inaugurated 
under state auspices at all ought not 
to disregard in its inception the lo- 
cal demands of Essex County. . 
As an industrial school in. one 
place is devoted to dhe type of man- 
ufacture, and in Beverly to making 
shoe machinery, influenced by local 
conditions, so such a school in its or- 
iginal foundation should adapt itself 
to local conditions. A part of Essex 
County may be interested in Agri- 
culture as generally understood, but 
a large section of the County extend- 
ing from Lynn along the entire 
coast is interested in an entirely local 
and peculiar department of agricul- 
ture, namely, the rearing and caring 
for flowering plants, in a word,. pro- 
fessional gardening. To ignore these 
local conditions is transparent folly. 
In the Beverly to Gloucester shore 
district the Editor does not recall the 
name of many American-born men 
holding official positions as _ profes- 
sional gardeners. The cause is not 
difficult to discover. There is no 
training provided for this particular 
type of “farming.” The owners of 
estates are of necessity dependent
