10 3JE?O(Y)en AgUtrreKes Is There a Life After Death on This Earth? By Ella Wheeler Wilcox 1 Copyright, 1914, by Sfjpr Company. The editor of the Christian Com monwealth of London, England, has just sent out the following list of uueatlons to be answered by thinking )>eople, and has solicited earnest ans wers: 1. Do you wish to live again, or forever? Do you hope to. or are you confident that you will survive bodily death? If you are uncertain, on which side do the probabilities to you seem to lie? 2. On what ground do you base :*our belief (or disbelief) in immorta lity? 3. Do you think the individual will persist and continue indefinitely, or forever as a separate entity? 4. Can you form any conception of she nature of life after "death?" e. jr.. shall we have form, substance, enses. local relation, etc.? What l hall we do? 5. Shall we renew earthly relations itlld acquaintances? 6. Can you suggest any answers' to the obvious difficulties in the way of believing in the persistence of the I individual? 7. Have you had any personal ex-1 perience, or can you addure evidence I in support of the view that the so called dead are still living and active?! 8. Do you think belief in personal | Immortality is growing or declining? I !>. Finally, if the life of the indivi- ' dual ends with his earthly career, and ; the life of the race ceases when the j earth is no longer habitable, every-1 thing being as though it had not j been, would you say that "the game i was worth the candle?" Will you kindly reply as early as | convenient ? "Ini|x»ssil>l«' to Think of n Time When , Nothing Existed." 1. Yes, I certainly desire to live I ngain and to live forever. I fully ex- I pect to live on. Everything that II Bee, hear, think, believe or know, j strengthens this belief. 2. On the ground that whatever is, ( must have always been, and must | continue to be. It is impossible to; think of a time when nothing existed. ; If there was a great void that void I must have contained all the principles ; and all the elements and all the pow- ' ers which made the universe after ward. In those principles, elements and powers the immortal ME of me must existed at that period. Having existed so long it cannot perish. 3.

Thoughts are , i things, nud we are creating every r moment and hour of life the condi , tions which will surround us when we ; leave this earth plane. The very inert :nnd jelly tish sort of mentality is not . making any place for itself in a fu ,. ture life. i It will disintegrate and go back into j the elements without any mortality. I 4. I form a very clear conception of the nature of life after death on ' the premises already stated. The man • i who thinks of making this world bet ■ter, helping his fellow men, develop ing the best within himself, beautify ing his personality and his surround , |ings. that man will find a very beauti j ful heaven awaiting him, and he will be surrounded with beings like unto j , himself, who have thought similiar: I thoughts and lived similar ideals. He j will find work awaiting him and use- I I fulness without end. The very bene-i j volent and sympathetic being will be I given the work of going to lower j j realms and helping souls who have ' died in sin and ignorance to come up 1 j higher. j Advanced souls will be given the task of awakening those who have I died in Ignorance, who have died I without any spiritual development |or understanding to a knowledge of : their situation. Hundreds of thou sands of human beings reach the spirit world and for long periods of | time ore unconscious that they have died, because they find the conditions j surrounding them quite like those they left on earth. The first step to- I ward their advance in spiritual life i must come from making them aware 1 of the experience of death, j 5. Yes, we should renew earthly ac | quaintances and relations when those I relations have been on the same I spiritual platoe. The mere act of i death does not change souls. The I difference between the spirit realms and the earth plane is that each soul ;in the spirit world will be attracted to his own kind, and it will be impos-. ; slble for him to associate with other j kinds save as he goes forth on bene j volent journeys. All social life in the | spirit realm will be that of elective l i affinities. 6. With my positive belief and, to me, perfectly satisfactory evidence of the existence of the soul after death I can conceive of no difficulties which i can be called obvious in this belief. I 7. Yes many experiences, satisfying, j conclusive, impossible to give in a ' 1 brief article, convince me that the j« "so-called dead are still living."

YELLOW FLOWER SEEDS IN DEMAND "Suffrage Garden" Idea Has Be come So Popular That Supply Is Failing The "suffrage garden" idea has be come so popular in Pennsylvania that the seed market, in so far as it applieq to yellow flowers, has been virt.ialljf cornered by the suffragists. In making this announcement at State headquarters, Mrs. Frank M. Koessing, president of the Pennsylva nia Woman Suffrage Association, said: "When we launched the suffrage gar den project we thought it would be easy to get all the seeds that would be needed. We forgot that most of our flower seeds come from Europe and that the war might have an effect upon the supply. That fact was called to our attention after we had tilled the first 2.000 orders for the official 'suffrage garden' seed boxes. Our seedsman them notified us that lie had bought up all the yellow flower seeds available in Pennsylvania and New York and had cabled abroad for more, but that there was scant hope of receiving any response from the cabled orders, owing to the European war. "His fears concerning the European I orders were soon justified and since ! then we have been rounding up all of ! the yellow flower seeds that arc avail able in this country. We now have on hand enough seeds for 10,000 suf frage gardens, but if the ordflrs be tween now and the first of May exceed that amount, we are going to have difficulty in filling them." The flowers which the suffragists have selected for their gardens are yellow poppies, caliopsis, calendula, zinnia, yellow snap dragons and yel low chrysanthemums. Dictionary Day Is Here; Great Offer Ready Cou|«>n (Tippers Heady to Flood ' Counter in Rush to Get Hand some Book I To-day begins the distribution by | this paper of The New Universities Dictionary. Readers have been on the alert for three days to seize the great educa tional offer. Their hopes and expec tations will be realized to-day. Cou pons will be presented and this hand some new volume will be taken into thousands of homes and offices. So , much favorable comment was caused and reported that larger supplies of the books were opened up ready to supply any demand. Unusual interest has been aroused by this announcement because of the extraordinary strength of the edi torial and contributing force of The New Universities Dictionary. George J. Hagar, editor-in-chief, is the most famous American lexicographer. Be fore talcing up his great work of compiling The New Universities Dic tionary he had been Associate Re viser of the following well-known i encyclopedias: People's, Columbian, Johnson's. Americana, New Inter national, New Standard, Standard American. Everybody's, compiler of the Chronology of the World in New Standard Dictionary, and editor of Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History. Mr. Hagar and the publishers of The New Universities Dictionary de cided that more than a mere list of words was needed by those who wish to keep pace with the growth and uses of our language. They made the vocabulary the newest and most usable list of words and word information to be found in any dic tionary and then, assisted by leading American teachers of English, added [ to it dramatic accounts of how our language grew and intensely interest ing stories of word building. Among these articles are: "Evolution of English Dic tionaries," by John C. Rolfe, Ph.D., Professor of Latin in the University of Pennsylvania and member of the National Acad emy of Social Science; "Standard English," by Percy W. Long, A. M., Ph.D., Instructor in English in Harvard Univer sity, Secretary of the American Dialect Society, of the Editorial Staff of Webster's New Interna tional Dictionary, etc., etc. "Practical Syntax," by For rest S. Lunt, M. A„ instructor of English, Horace Mann School, Teachers College, Columbia Uni versity; "Etymology," by Clark S. Northup, Ph.D., Department of English, Cornell University; | "Punctuation," by Morris W. Croil, Ph.D., Department of Eng lish, Princeton University. Each of these articles is written plainly and simply. Each is easy to understand and everyday homefolks will find them clear and helpful In the study of language. Use of these j helps for a. few days will make one advance rapidly In speaking and writ ing properly.
