Excerpt from Tho Material, Why Not Immortal?

In the Andover Review for September, 1887, was published an article of mine entitled "If Material, Why Mortal?" At various times since then I have given numerous reprints to friends and have been frequently offered suggestions that it be amplified and published in book form. Among these was an eminent and well-known Bishop who, like various other clerical friends, could see nothing in it antagonistic to the Christian religion.

In this little book I am following the suggestions above named, and have thought it best to publish the original article verbatim, making it the first chapter of the present book. Certain ideas which seemed somewhat prophetic have proved to be truly such, as e.g., certain improvements in the phonograph which really make it an instrument of precision, rather than merely a "horrible toy."
