253 diately to the vast palace of Odin, their god of war, where they were entertained in perpetual feasts and mirth. Among civilized and uncivilized nations, on continents and islands, in every quarter of the globe, the belief in immortalitv has been entertained. "Whence came the idea? Some of the deniers of the soul's inherent immortalitv have attempted to answer the question. Philosophers and statesmen, they allege, " practicing a pious fraud ' ' upon the people, foisted it upon them. It was ...found necessary to bring in the idea of a future life, to hold the masses in subjection ; to secure their allegiance to the State, and uphold the dignity of philosophy. Plato is represented as quoting a Pythagorian philosopher, who taught that, "as we sometimes cure the body with unwholesome remedies, when such as are most wholesome have no effect, so we restrain those minds by false relations which will not be persuaded by the truth. " In like manner, it is claimed, the philosophers and statesmen reasoned, and so invented the idea of immortality to compass their ends.
