LECTURE IN JELLICOE HALL.
"Aim for Eternal Youth and Immortality" was the title of the fourth of a course of lectures delivered by Mrs M. E.. Simpson in Jellicoe Hall last evening. She said, "Eternal youth and immortality have been the heart's desire through the ages, but searched for in the wrong direction. The introduction of lymph and monkey glands into the body will.not procure life and eternal youth. Men believe they are the likeness and image of an aged man-shaped God. With such an erroneous ideal ever in their consciousness, humans age and decay. The freshness and vigour of youth with the wisdom of years is man's Divine heritage, attainable when he knows that the universe is mental, and man is an eternal being because he manifests the eternal Source."
