Q-What kind Of q heart have you b,

Of tho unregenerates
Aud God saw that the wickednes
Of man was great In the earth, and tina
every imagination Of the thoughts OF bill
heart was only evil continually. Gen. 0
8. The Imagination Of mans heart % evi
IRON his youth. Gen. 8, 81. Tho carna

subject 10 the law oil God, neither indeed
can be. Rome 2, IS. The heart Is deceit-
full above all things and desperately wick.
ed. For out Of the heart proceed evil
thoughts, murders, adulterles, fornication,

was shapen In iniquity, and In Gin did my
mother conceive me- Pc, 81, 8. all We
like sheep have gone astray, we have
turned every man 10 his own way, Is 90,
0. But not 70 take Up space by piling
up passages OF like import, which I could
easily do, l will now ask Zspheniah 10 say
in the light Of the Scriptures whether he
can frame better answer to the question
than that given by John Brown, viz "A
heart filled with all unrighteousness.
Q-Does your wicked heart make all
your thoughts, words and actions sinful
A,-Th0 fool hath said in bis heart
there 10 nc. God. They arc. corrupt, they
have done abominable works, there d
none that doeth good They are on
gone aside They are altogether be-
come filthy. There Is none that doeth
good, no, not one, ,Ps. 14.l.3, 53:1 8. This
say therefore, and testify In the Lord,
thatye henceiorth walk not ssS other
Geniiles walk, having the understanding
dArkCned, being aliensted from the life OF
God through the Ignorance that Ia In them
because Of the blindness OF their heart,
Who being past feeling have given them
selves over 10 lasciviousness, 10 work
all uncleanness with greediness, Eph. 4:
49, 10, For II Is shame to speak OF those
things which are done Of them in secret.
In the light ofthe above passages, and
many others that might be quoted, may
we not answer In short with good old
scripture loving John Brown, yes,i l do
nothing but SIM rt'.. s5E
Q-Can you reform and renew your
wicked heart or, can the dead restore
themselves to lileH .za
A-None Of them can by any means
redeem his brother, nor give to God q
ransom for him. Ps. 40: Z. Oh, Israel
thou hast destroyed thyself, but Ia me Is
thy help. Hos. 1879. viii the Lord be
pleased with thousands Of rams, or with
ten Thousands Of rivers Of oil Shall l
give my first born for my transgressioi,
the fruit Of my body for the sin OF my.
soul? Who can bring q clean thing out
of an unclean thing? Not one. Job. 14.4.
God who is rich In mercy, for His great
love wherewith he loved Us, even when
we were dead in sins hath Quickened us.
Eph 9: A God commendslh His love
toward us, in that while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. S 8.
For what the law could not do, In that il
was weak through the flesh, God sending
His own Son in the likeness Of sinful
flesh, and Tor sin condemned Sin in the
flesh, that tho righteousness Of the law
might be fulfilled in US, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the spirit. Rom.
S:34. The sacrifice Of the wicked is an
abOminAtion TO the Lord. Prov. 10; s.
We may therefore Tor the sake oil brew.
~, say with John Brown. No, ! am dead
in trespasses and in sins. \
Q-What will become Of you II you
die IN your sinsH
A.-Upon the wicked he shall rain
snarea, fire and brimstone, and a horrible
(mArgin, burning tempest; this shall be
the portion Of their cup.-Ps. II: SO,
The way Of the ungodly shall perish
Ps. LAO. The wicked Is reserved TO the
day Of destruction; they shall be brought
forth to the day Of wrath.-Job 81: II
The trRnsgressors shall be destroyed to-
getheT; the end Of the wicked shall be cut
0ff-Ps. 81: 80. Who knoweth the power
OF thine sngCrt Even according 10 thy
fear so is thy wrath.-Ps. 8: II. The name
Of the wicked shall rot. Tho expectation
of the wicked shall perish. PROV. 10: z.
The soul that sinneth 1t shall die.-Ezek.
Is: 4. At the end Of the world, the angels
shall come forth, and sever the wicked
from amongst the just, and shall cast
them into the furnace Of ite.--Matt. u,
Al, 40, 40, so. Whoever was not found
written in the book Of life, was cast into
the lake Of fire.-Rsv. 20, Is. Or, as
John Brown epitomizes 1t, must 60 10
hell with the wicked. -tT..
QEWhat kind Of q place Is hellG y .
A" place where the worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched.
And the rich man also died, and was
buried; and in hell he lifted up his eyes,
being in torment + and SAID,
Father Abraham, have mercy on me and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip Of
his finger IN water and cool my tongue,
for am tOrmented in this flame. Luke
10; 90, %, "a.
Aud these shall go away into everlARt-
ing punishment Malt 25:46.
Ii Is better for thee to enter into life
manned, than having two hands, to go
into hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched; where the worm dieth not,
aud tho fire Is not quenched. Mark 0:
49, Al. Or, with John Brown, place Of
endless torment, being lake that burns
with fire and birthstone.
Q-How many kinds Of sin arc there!
A.-And the Lord God commanded the
man saying, Of every tree OF the garden
thou mayest freely eat; but Of the tree Of
the knowledge Of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat oil II; Tor in the day that
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen. 3: 10, II. And when the woman
saw that the tree was good for food, and
that It was pleasant 10 the eyes, and a
tree to be desired to make one wise, she
took Of the fruit thereof and did eat; and
pave 10 her husband also and he did eat.
Wherefore as by ono man ain entered into
the world and death by sin; and 90 death
passed upon all men for that all men haze
