WHERE Do WE GO?-But, my friends. il is
time we, too. should repudiate such a fearful
doctrine, or as well throw the masses into inf
deity. Henry Ward Beecher says he does not
believe all that ever were born will 90 to
heaven, and he would be an infidel did he
believe they would all go to hell. The question
arises, where do they all go: All the genera
tions from the earliest times, brought up in
ignorance and dying in it as thick as the
leaves OF the forest, many who have not vet
heard of our Christ-where do they 90? NV
friends, believe the Supreme Being purifies
them in the hereafter, and after they die fits
them all for cOmpanionShip with him in the
sons of preparation. We must all believe that.
and so must soon all Christians, and then to
our believe We will gather all the people and
