ART OF WINNING IMMORTALITY

There are men who become so im-
pressed anti depressed by a sense of
the futility and transitoriness of all
things that they come to the conclu-
sion that immortality is a delusion and
proceed to order their lives in accord-
ance with that conclusion. They adopt
the slogan carpe diem as the guiding
principle of their existence and seek
to extract as much pleasure and stim-
ulation as they can out of the difficult
conditions of life, conceiving that to be
the only reasonable and satisfying aim
of living.
Very soon, however, they become
the victims of a devastating paradox.
The thing which they pursue becomes
metamorphosed as soon as they grasp
it. Their pleasures become wormwood.
The reason is not far to seek. These
men sought to live in defiance of a
fundamental human instinct whist)
turned upon them and plagued them.
The y sought to stifle and cheat the
urge for immortality which lies deep
d iwn in the heart of every human be-
ing and presses in the surface in the
believer and atheist alike.
Apparently there is no specific for
the achievement of immortality. Men
seek to satisfy that instinct in various
ways, unaware, as a rule, that they
are serving this particular master. It
is a tribute to the God of creation
which lives within them and a proof,
simultaneously, that this instinct de-
rives from God and not from Satan
that its expression nearly always as
rarely that it becomes inverted and
takes the form of burning a temple
