Old Question of Immortality of Animals
HE question, are animals Immortal?
Ii as old aa the question. Is man
Immortal? Trace of a belief In
both can be found In the very
'earliest history of mankind. Man
being especially Interested In the perpetua
tion of his own existence, has almost lost
sight of the fact that loner animals have
the same assurance of Immortality, and la
upported by the same logical reasons.
When we deal in historical and scientific
facts. It Is not a question of what our pre
conceived opinions may be, or what we
may prefer to believe, but what la tho
evidence for such belief.
Does natural and revealed theology afford
sufficient evidence to warrant the' belief
that the destruction of the body la not the
destruction of the vital essence that gives
It life?
Since the dawn of civilization man has
believed himself to be Immortal, and we
will concede that he Is without an argu
ment. What I contend for Is that the same
analogy of logic that can be adduced to
prove the Immortality of man will apply
equally to lower animals.
That man and lower animals are dual
beings possessing a double organism, the
one structure being Corporal, visible,' and
tangible, the other Incorporal, Invisible and
Intangible is an assumption that cannot be
disproved. Man besides being man. In a,
soologlcal sense, Is an animal. Matter and
mind exist In both, and though there may
be a difference In degree there Is no dif
ference In kind. In proportion, as the func
tions or relations are more or less perfect,
man and lower animals ascend and descend
In the scale of existence, but mind and
matter exist lit all alike. Modern siientiMs
advocate the theory that all the germs
of the moral and mental faculties of man
are contained In the lower animals, and
that the vital force, which theologians
call soul, Is as much a part of lower
animals as of man. All we re created from
the same chemical elements, received' the
same kind of breath of life, and are gov
erned by the same physical and mental
laws. When the gross matter, called body,
l( freed from the life essence, the laws of
chemistry, hitherto held In subjection by a
superior control, assert their authority, and
the whole visible system falls a prey to
corruption and decay. This Is the final
result of all living beings. But what be
comes of that life essence?
Tencnlnars of Theolosry.
Modern theology teaches that. In the case
of man, the life potency docs not decay
with the body, but finding that the body Is
no longer a suitable residence, it assumes
new functions that are governed by the
Immaterial universe and Is conveyed to
some future place of perpetual existence.
Now, If this is the destiny of man, what
becomes of that mysterious life potency of
an animal at the dissolution of the body?
There Is that same visible difference be
tween mind and matter in lower animals
as there is In man. Scientists agree that
force Is an Immortal essence and forms a
substantial entity which is Indlstructlble.
Everything which la immaterial forms an
itlrlbute of God and must be Immortal.
Force Is an Immaterial principle, and con
equently vital force, mental force and all
ther faculties of the mind must bo Im
mortal and belong to all animal life. Force
la the propelling power of the soul-life. It
la manifested by the Divine will, conse
juently no living being without the aid of
. lome vital force superior to chemical and
nochanlcal force can live. Vital force con

According to "Llpplneott's Magaxlne," an
honest and stupid Irishman who had workej
for a coal aler halt a year and shown
no capacity to learn bis duties was called
"Barney, the Blunderer."
One morning, after having delivered coal
to two wrong addresses, he was rather
short and crusty In answering a regular
customer, so the proprietor discharged him,
saying: "Go to tne office and get your
money. I've been as patient with you as
I could be. but you are too thick headed
ever to learn anything "
"All rolght. sor," answered Barney.
"Mebbe Ol'ra t'ick-headed, as yes say, but
Ol've learned wan t'ing, anyway."
"If you have really learned one thing,
and learned It well, I'll not discharge you,"
said the proprietor, banterlngly. "Now,
tell ma what you have learned."
"Ol'vs learned, sor, that 1,700 pounds
makes a ton in this place," replied Barney,
and ha went back to work.
An Error on the tnare.
The late Mrs. Gilbert, the veteran
actress, was telling some of her ex
periences. Once, at a reception In Chi
cago, she said:
"One of my earliest speaking parts was
played her In your city, and I was very
uervous. I wsa so very nervous. In fact,
that on the first night I made an error
that nearly ruined the performance.
"I had a small part, that part of an old
nurse. There was a dying king, a villain
and a band of music In the piece and the
band of muaio waa supposed to be very

tirely distinct from the lifeless matu-r
which Is devoid of any motion or force, ex
cept as applied to it from external causes.
The life essence which thinks, moves and
controls the body Is the essential properties
of what theolugian call the soul, and Is
that (Jod-glven principle to all living beings,
and Includes the capacity for an endless
duration of existence. Nothing, therefore,
can possibly preclude the soul-life of ani
mals from the perpetual state to come, but
a fundamental destruction, for they must
continue through all revolutions of future
ages, unless the Creator who made them
shall see fit to doom them to an eternal an
nihilation. It Is true lie' could annihilate any or all
of His creatures just as easily, as He
created them. Certainly, to reduce any
substance into nothing requires the same
power as to convert nothing Into-something.
Man and lower animals are not Immortal
from choice, or any knowledge they may
have of the fact, but because the beneficent
Being who created them has willed to up
hold them In an eternal existence.
Equal Chance for Eternal Life.
The greatest philosopher and the most
degraded heathen; the brightest intellect
and the most repulsive Idiot; the most In
telligent animal of the highest species, and
the most Inert of the lowest species, have
an equal chance for eternal life. Theology
teaches that heathen. Idiots and children
are saved by reason of the fact that In
them the purposes of Qod have never been
fulfilled and the responsibility for action
never reached. This will apply equally as
well to lower animals.
In either ?ase. If the mind ever becomes
sufficiently developed to enjoy a future
existence. It must undergo a spiritual
growth In the future life. In the highest
attainments of man there Is still an un
developed capacity that would make him
an Infant aa compared with the heavenly
hierarchy.
Therefore It Is reasonable to conclude
that all beings are In an embryotlc condi
tion and require another life to complete
their permanent existence. As there is
no waste In nature and all beings are en
dowed with certain abilities and capacities
for life and happiness, If by any cause
such endowment cannot be realised In
this life, then there must be a future state
In order that the purposes of God may be
fulfilled.
When God created lower animals and
man and pronounced them "very good," It
It Is obvious He was looking through and
beyond the Intermediate state to the ulti
mate purposes of creation In the final re
demption of all created things. Is it In
accordance with what we see and know of
the nature of God to suppose Ho would
give to some of His Innocent creatures
eternal life and doom others to an eternal
annihilation, when Solomon says. "They
have all one breath; so that a man hath
no pre-eminence above a beast"?
Operations of the Sonl Life.
We perceive the diversified operations of
the soul life In man and in lower animals,
and call this energy by different names
according to different manifestations. When
inferring truth from truth, it Is called

an effec. It is reason; when contemplating
the future. Imagination; when reviewing
the past, memory; when choosing or re

Espionage In Japan.
Dr. Baols. who was a professor In the
medical department of the Toklo university
for a quarter of a century and who, as
reported the other day. Is now back in
Stuttgart, gives an instance of the espion
age which prevails in Japan. One of his
best friends in Toklo waa the Russian am
bassador, who one da suuunonsd him U
vital action, It must be true that the life
potency, or soul, has many faculties, and
equally true thet there Is not a living being
deprived of them all. Willie the fntt llectual
faculties of man arc superior to lower
animals In most repprcts, yet that portion
of the nervous systrm distributed to tho
orsnns of sense is superior In lower animals.
They surpass man in acuteness of slht,
sound and scent; thre tint of five senses.
The faculty culled Instinct Is far stronger
In lower animals than man, and forms
One of the chief arguments for their Im
mortality. It la knowlcdRO from God, di
rectly Imparted to animals, not once, but
continually; nnd we do not know where it
begins or where It ends. The Creator
deals more directly with the cfeature under
the law. governing Instinct than any known
law In the great cosmos.' It Is so closely
Interwoven with all the phenomena we see
and know around us. that If It Is not an
Immortal attribute of God, we know nothing
that Is.
It is the very highest attribute of soul
life, and a man who would deny that It is
Immortal, could with the same consistency,
deny that the omniscience, omnipotence,
or any other attributes of God, is Immortal.
The word is not found in the Bible, and
was Invented by man to evplaln the intelli
gent acts of animals, but the manifestations
of mind and ' Instinct cannot be divided
by some unknown and uncertain mystical
line. If an animal moves Itself, It does so
for some reason, and with respect to some
end, and does m. not only by Its own rea
son, but by reasons Imparted by signs or
words from others. A lifeless body, or
matter alone, could not do this. It Is the
Immortal essence, or soul life, which Inter
prets the sense of such signs and words.
An onlmal Is conscious of Its own Identity
as it can think, feel, hear, see and will.
Without consciousness, the outward
world would have no meaning, and an
anlrral could have no conception of the
senses.
Reason In Same l)er.
Mind and matter would be one and the
same. Animals could not be domesticated
nnd educated without a will to direct
them In matters of right and wrong. To
b governed by reason or abstract Ideas,
In some degree. Is a general law Imposed
by the Creator upon all animals.
Though mind may bo considered as mani
festing Itself through a series of material
organs, yet It Is totally unlike any of
those principles or functions that are
termed material, and In fundamental con
trast to them. When a man communi
cates his Ideas to an animal It must be
through a spiritual medium, for a material
substance, such as the body, would be
without this aoul-llfe, could not hold com
munication. Comparative psychology Is opening up a
wonderful field for scientific research, and
we are learning to know God's purposes
through nature as well as revelation. As
all animal life Is formed upon one com
mon general laws. It shows conclusively
that If man Is a dual being, composed of
matter and mind, or body and soul, so are
all other created beings.
Natural theology fully sustains the
theory of universal brotherhood of all
Clod's creatures, and revealed theology
makes It the more certain. When the
Bible Is properly translated and Interpreted
there is not a passage but what gives
lower animals as much assurance of Im
mortality as man. In every passage of
Scripture where the Hebrew word for the

The following colloquy actually occurred
during one of the earlier battles In the
Philippines. A detachment of American In

of Captain Retlly's battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly flat military
road in full view and fine range of the
Filipino trenches. Of course, to He flat

In this detachment was an Irishman who
had served his time with the colors In the
British army before he enlisted with Uncle

to tell how the British soldiers did every
thing. As a result he was incessantly

apropos of the Chinese awakening, he said:
"China has for thousands of years been

are used In reference to animals. It gives
them souls the same ss man. I could give
a long list of grent theologians who frankly
admit the correctness of such Interpreta
tion. It is no long r a secret that the
translotors of the Bible, through Indif
ference and prejudice, failed to give poor
fallen animals the benefit of, a true ren
dering of many words. But enough Is
properly translated to show that "the ten
der merry of God is over all His works.
. . . In whose hand is the soul of every
thing. . . . ll preserveth man and
beast."
v Authorities Qnoted.
The Inspired writer Isaiah portrays a
future paradise for animals analogous
to the Garden of Eden before the fall.
St. John In Revelations gives us to un
derstand that there are thousands of ani
mals In heaven. St. Teter says that
through Christ there shall bo a "restitution
of all things." St. Paul In the eighth chap
ter of Romans makes a statement, which
has been Interpreted by some of the best
theological scholars tho world has ever
produced, to mean that animals suffered
equally with man In the fall and will be
restored through the redemption made by
Christ. It seems to be Impossible to empty
these words of their plain significance.
John Wesley said: "Nothing can be more
plainly expressed. Away with vulgar preju
dice, and let the plain Word of God take
Its place. Animals shall be delivered from
the bondage of corruption Into the liberty
of redemption." A grand thought, that,
"In the fullness of time God might gather
together In one all things In Christ both
which are In heaven and which are on
earth. . , . For the earnest expectation
of the creature (animals) walteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God. . . .
For as In Adam all die. even so In Christ
shall all be made alive."
Many persons of prominence have argued
that animals would enjoy Immortality.
Prof. Louis Agassis says: "In some In
comprehensible way, Ood Almighty has
created these beings, and I cannot doubt
of their Immortality any more than I can
doubt of my own."
George Kllot In "Mlddlemareh" says: "I
like to think that the animals about ua
have souls something like our own.'
Orlando J. Smith In "Eternallsm" says:
"The theological theory that animals are
soulless la plainly untenable. If man be
Immortal, all other forms of life must also
be Immortal."
Canon Wllberforce, In an eloquent speech,
expressed the opinion that "in the great
eternal world men and animals sink or
swim together."
Mrs. Mary Somervllle says: "I firmly be
lieve that the living principle Is never ex
tinguished. I am sincerely happy to find
that I am not the only believer In the Im
mortality of animals."
The Rev. J. G. Woodssays: "I feel sure
that they will have the opportunity of de
veloping their latent faculties in the next
world."
Canon Carter declares: "The lower ani
mals are not to be destroyed, but. after
their manner, according to their kind, will
be restored."
Dr. Edward B. Pusey, Bishop Butler, Rer.
Dr. Joseph Cook, Dr. Adam Clark, George
