"The doctrine of the immortality of the soul, if it is a real advantage, follows unavoidably from the idea of God. The best Being, he must will the best of good things; the wisest, he must devise plans for that effect; the most powerful, he must bring it about. None can deny this."—THEO. PARKER, Discourse of Matters pertaining to Religion, b. ii. ch. viii. p. 205.
