The speaker-Annihiiation Is the de-
struction of the material of which man ID
made. and would require the same exer-
tion of power on the part of the Almighty
as the creation Of matter. / believe that
the penalty Of the incorrigibly wicked will
be the destruction Of his conscious exis-
teucc . total cessation Of all his fune-
tlons. Men wa. designed to live forever.
He was naturally Immortal; the penalty
OF the law was the destruction Of this i'm
mortality. Tbers were thrss srest men
at three great epochs Of the world through
whom the divine win vas given TO nan-
Adam. Moses. aud Christ. With the law
the penalsy Of violating the Law should Be
given. and II you do p0s end he penalty Of
eternal puhishment given By either ol
these In direct terms. Do not look 70 psra-
bles. 6gurcs Of speech. or the meaning Of
words. With the law the penslty was
given. What did God say TO Adam, our
representative! 'In the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt surely die,' and
90 death entered the world. Adam was
not damned. This is not dsmned world
in which We Methodist preachers live and
preach repentance and remission of sins.
But physical death entered the world and
passed upou all men. because all have sim
