military orders of the War Department

UNPOPULAR IDEAS.

Is there a devil, hell, an eternal
perdition !? A man doth evil; why?
Not because he is strong, nay, verify he
is morally areal;. Young or old, the
feeble fame of moral tendency is with
him weak. Nan doth evil only when
the pressure overcomes his resistance
He cannot be accountable for natsral
weakness. The matter is either hered-
itary or subject of external circum-
stance. Man is accountable before
man, to the extent that men may pro-
tect themselves; and no further Man
never created himself Parentage tra-
ces back to the Divine Creator. God
made man and lie is respousi bic fol
mems actions.
Are angels subject to temptation !?
If so, their condition is precarious and
no better than ours. If they are not
subject to temptation, then the being
called Satan exists only in the imagina-
tion of some empty headed fool =
unless perchauce, God Himself made
hell and peopled it with irresponsible
beings. There cannot be boil
ing, seething, srilling purgatory, send
ing up its smoke and cries of almost
unuterable torment through eternal
ages.
