Conditional Immortality
Sir,—The papers are a good deal exercised at this time about the “Conditional Immortality Association.” The Court Journal of September 6th has two paragraphs on the subject. That paper speaks of it as “a curious doctrine by which the gift of eternal life is limited to believers in Christianity only, the future punishment of the impenitent being, at some indefinite period, to be terminated by annihilation.” It tells us that a large number of delegates were then in London “from the provinces, from Scotland and Ireland,” and that this was the second annual meeting of the society. They have certainly one salient doctrine in common with the Theosophists—that of annihilation—but whether they will be able to hit it off together seems doubtful on other grounds. Still they seem to have had their first general advent in England about the same time, but 1 suppose there is no connection. The Daily Telegraph of Friday, the 5th inst., tells us that at a public meeting of the above society, in St. George’s Hall, Langham-place, the chairman, Mr. Henry I. Ward, of Liverpool, said, “That the destiny of the lost was eternal death after resurrection, and for the saved eternal life after resurrection. It would be necessary to grapple with Spiritualism, and he did not know who could do so but those who believed in this body.”
