1897. As all existence is a unit, which the author has taken special pains through the body of this book to impress upon the minds of his readers, it can hardly be conceived that an all-wise God, who is infinite in love, mercy and justice, would look to the preservation in a future state just a very small part of the life which He had been instrumental in placing upon this earth. It would be more consistent with His attributes to have provided in the grand plan of redemption the salvation of all life, the purest and the best, that would represent in the heaven-life the highest living exponents of divine ideas. No other belief accords so well with the teachings of science and philosophy.
