THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
'fill; Mystkhy of LlI K—ANII Hereafter Nothing has so dominated tlic imagination of man as tile impenetrable darkness that surrounds life. Through all the myriads of years since he emerged from the animal lie has constantly endeavoured to penetrate the mystery. This moment--the pulse has heat, the hieath bus issued from the lips, the personality has shone in tin* eyes: the next the light- hns vanished from the face and all is still. Some thing has passed a" ay like daylight al the setting of the sun. It must have gone some whither. The energy, the illumination that made the now dead body a centre of life and light ccmld not have faded like a wreath of smoke into nothingness; it must be an existence as much as ever it was. And yet never lias it returned to tell the secret. Unendingly baffled, man has never given up the quest- of tne solution. If reason or its modern incarnation, science, will not. lift the veil, faith or the amalgam of imagination and emotion takes its place and does the impossible.—Professor Macmillan Brown.
