I thought over the various arguments which I had either heard, or which had come spontaneously to my mind, for or against the probability of a state of future existence.

They appeared to me to be tolerably evenly balanced.

I then thought that it was at all events taking the safest part to conclude that there was a soul.

It would be a terrible thing, after having passed one's life in the disbelief of the existence of a soul, to wake up after death a soul, and to find one's self a lost soul.

Yes, methought I would come to the conclusion that one has a soul.
