What Constitutes Hell.

h DR.. Norman Mcleod is accredited, in
an exchange with the following:
Let the fairest star be selected, like q
beauteous Inland in the vast and shoreless
sea of the azure heavens, as the future
home of the criminals from the earth. and
let them possess whatever they most love,
and all that it is possible for God to be-
stow let them be endowed with undying
bodies, and with minds which shall ever
retain their Intellectual powers let no
Savior ever press his claims upon them,
no God reveal himself to them, no Sab
bath ever dawn upon them, no saint ever
live among them, no prayer ever be heard
within their borders but let society exist
there forever, smitten only by the leprosy
Of hatred. to God, add with utter selfish
ness as its all-pervadipg and eternal
purpose-then, rs sure as the law Of
righteousness exists, on which rests the
throne Of God and the government of the
universe, society so constituted must
work out for itself hell of solitary and
bitter suffering, to which there is no limit
except the capacity of finite nature !
Alas the spirit that is without love to its
God or its neighbor, is already possessed
by power which must at last create for
its own self.torment worm that will
never die, and a fire that can never more
| be auenched - .- - e--- ..sass
