UNCLE ABE'S CORNER argues against the immortal soul notion, urging belief in immortality only through God’s Word. It cites Satan’s lie to Eve, Jesus weeping with mourners, and Lazarus as proof of resurrection at the last day, not heavenly ascent. The piece emphasizes death as a state to be overcome, not eternal life in heaven.
