Excerpt from Bryan on Religion: Delivered Before the Independent Religious Society, Orchestra Hall Chicago In the nature of things it is impossible to be as sure that a man will live again as that he lives today. We can see, handle and talk to the living, openly, freely and in broad daylight; we cannot do the same with the dead. If there were any over whelming proofs that men live again after death, the question would not have been disputed all these centuries. We never try to argue whether or not men live today, and if the other life is equally certain, why is it forever under discussion? The mere fact that men are trying'to prove another life is evidence that it stands in need of being proved, which means that it is not as yet proved.
