Immortality is here presented from the point of view of theism. By theism the author means: "belief in personality as the source and sum of all values and ideals, best apprehended by us intellectually in the form of purpose animating and unifying all reality, a purpose which finds its progressive fulfillment in the growth of moral ideals and human efforts for their realization-the theist thinks of this as a world which has rational, moral, aesthetic and religious significance.'' It is those four lines of thought that are briefly developed and the conclusions are "that a rationally significant world implies the immortality of human personalities" a morally significant world "the persistence of moral values"; an aesthetically significant world the realization of our unfulfilled ideals of beauty; and a religiously significant world presents itself "as the endless pursuit of an ever advancing goal, that is what God's purpose for us means." That purpose never is fulfilled, the process of self-realization is never complete, when death comes, but God's purpose carries over the physical experience and man keeps on forever. Thus it is that a religiously significant world means immortality. - The Homiletic Review , Volumes 83
