Excerpt from Practical Preaching for Priests and People: Twenty-Five Short Sermons on Doctrinal and Historical Subjects With a Synopsis of Each Sermon The belief in a life after death, however much the ideas concerning it may vary, is one 50 wide spread as to be practically universal. We say practically, because there are some ethnical ex ceptions to the rule which, however, can hardly be said to constitute a serious difficulty. The very few races not impressed with the idea Of immortality are for the most part the lowest in intelligence and culture, and their ignorance in this regard no more argues against the futurity Of the soul than their ignorance of chemistry and physics argues against the facts Of science. The belief which commanded the assent Of Socrates and Plato, Leibnitz and Napoleon, will certainly not be shaken because an ever-diminishing number Of, say, Australian aborigines have not sufficient mental ability to rise to what is, after all, the grandest conception ever formed Of the destiny Of man.
