God Arises
Argument for the Life Hereafter
~ 209 ~
London, in the 45 to 65 age group, show that it is
when they are well-established in business and
have a very high level of income that one fine day
their hearts suddenly fail, and they pass away from
this world, bequeathing to others their greatly
expanded and flourishing businesses. What then?
Winwood Reade comments:
It is question for us now to consider whether
we have any personal relations towards the
Supreme Power; whether there exists another
world in which we shall be requited
according to our actions. Not only is this a
grand problem of philosophy, it is of all
questions the most practical for us, the one in
which our interests are most vitally
concerned. This life is short, and its pleasures
are poor; when we have obtained what we
desire, it is nearly time to die. If it can be
shown that by living in a certain manner,
eternal happiness may be obtained, then
clearly no one except a frenzied or a mad man
will refuse to live in such a manner.
