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.

| kind in heaven or hell which their
[thoughts have made. 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."
THE NEW BOX PLAITS
A Graceful Skirt with Moderate and
Becoming Flare.
By MAY MANTON
i
8537 Plaited Skirt with Yoke,
24 to 34 waist.
This box-plaited skirt is one of th(
latest to have appeared. It is cut in foui
pieces and joined to a smooth yoke and
ttyis yoke is made with seams over th«
hips. In the picture, the material is
?;abardine, and gabardine is a deserved
avorite, but the skirt can be used for a
variety of materials. It can be utilized
successfully for the coat suit, and it ii
just as pretty and graceful for the indooi
gown. It is simple, it is easy to makei
consequently it seems to mean all ad
vantages. The plaited portion is cut in
. four gores and the yoke in three pieces,
but the seams of the skirt are concealed
by the plaits. The finish can be made at
the high or at the natural waist-line.
The buttons make the only trimming
for the skirt illustrated, but buttons are
eo handsome this season that they can
be made a feature.
For the medium size will be required
S yds. of material 27 in. wide. yds. 36,
4 yds. 44, yds. 54; width at lower
edge 3 yds. and 6 in.
The pattern No. 853759 cut in sizes
from 24 to 34 inches waist measure. It
will be mailed to any address by the
Fashion Department of this paper, oa
receipt of ten cents.

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.
