Signs of the Times

with contributions from E. S. Martin, T. H. Mackenzie, Clinton Scott

[E. S. Martin, in Harper's Magazine, New York, N. Y.]

It is notable that confidence in the continuance of life after death does not make for the neglect of terrestrial life while we have it. While our adventure on earth lasts, it is our great concern to make the most of it; to develop our powers and the bit of earth we live on, in the highest possible degree; to learn all we can, to teach all we can, to get out of... life as much as possible, and gain by it all that goes with the conception that the whole of existence is not in sight, nor this world our final home. The enviable people on earth are those who know that there is more awaiting and affecting than they can see, and who can draw wisdom and strength out of the invisible. It is they that are the hope of the world and the number of them seems to be increasing. Moreover, they all seem nowadays to get very much the same message, that comes by various channels to people in all parts of the world, to the learned and the unlearned, the sophisticated and the humble—a message of encouragement and of stimulation, and assurance that there is a way out of the present difficulties of earth, and that men can find it.
