—" . Is Life Merely, a Gas? By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory Copyright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Oo, (The New York Kvening World.) VERY learned scientist, writing recently upon the subject of the A “Boundaries of Man's Knowledge,” gaid: “We know that a period of embryonic development precedes the birth of the human being, and we know that the cellular tissue of which man is composed existed in plants and uther substances; and back still further we find that the atoms constituting the cells existed in a state of. gas. Carrying the investigation forward, we find that decomposition is followed by disintegration, and this @isintégration passes his substance again-into the gaseous state, At these ‘we extremes all knowledge of the individual begins and ends.” All of this is true; but the really important question is this: Is # the whole truth? . Physically we begin and end with gas. Out of gas the physical man womes, and back into gas the physical man returns, On this point there is no room for argument. It is a fact that science has demonstrated. » But think over what I am now about to say, even this: That between jemarging from the gas and retuining # the gas the physical man develops certain phenomena that are NOT physical; and how are we going to a. count Yor these extra-physical facts, among which may be mentioned thought, reason, the spirit of self sacrifice, the sense of moral responsibility and ac- countability, and the idea wf the ultimate and univereal triumph of good over evil and right over wrong? yourkelves these questions: Does gas think? Does gas reason? Is -consctous personality? Is gas the possessor of a moral sense which between “ought” and “ought not,” between right and wrong? ong in some mysterious way with the physical organism te the which is not only rational put ethical; and are we to be blamed to believe that the most astounding fact in the universe had and will have ite end in gas? . ‘us admit, as admit we must, that the MIND is as much of a fact! it BODY... A fact is not necgssartly something that you can pound with ir or cut with an axe—sometiing material, No hammer can pound i ogt @ thought, or an aspiration; and yet the thought or aspiration ‘of a fact as your boylder or your steam engine. ig no eseaping the conclusion that man is a self-conscious Per- we do not deserve to be called fools for thinkins that this| derfy) thing was not produced by gas. final re sult of gas is—gas. Of gas tho physical man comes, {he physical man goes; but strangely going along with the pis the soruothing that is spiritual, or mental, or whatever you Bto call Kt, and this cannot pe accounted for by gas, Duiot cet blood out of a tumip, Any more than out of gas you cap Htuality of an Emerwon, the Imygination of a Shakespeare or the ompassing mathenratics of aiNéwton.
