Your correspondents, Old Style Christian IN
your issue OF January %. and New Style Chris
tian Of the 18th ult.. have many fears about
hell going out of date.
Old style seems to think lack Of hell would
give sinners free ticket TO all kinds OF niqui-
ty and then another source OF alarm ls, there
would be no encouragement for the saints. as
much as to say, "Where would be the pleasure
OF being saved if no one was lost ?" He says :
"If the Bible ever taught the doctrine OF a
lake OF fire and brlmstone. 1t teaches it now" "
he is right about that and 1t teaches infant
damnation, too and SO much the worse for the
book. Yes, and the Old Testament teaches
poygamy by the example OF the loisest man
who ever lived. OLD STYLE Christian seems to
have quite logical mind and the only fault
we find with him is that his basis is faulty
The Bible he relies on with so much assuranc e
does not by its own intrinsic value recommend
itself to the unbiased reader as being the will
or word OF the First Cause OF all.
New style Christian has taken a very appro
pirate cognomeu. His motto is, stick to an err
ror /. it is only decked with the gray hairs of
antiquity. He had rather shut his eyes TO the
light than see too much. lie Gays: 1T would
be much pleasanter if the hot place was well
cooled off," But hot as 1t is, he had rather
hug it to his bosom than TO have it destroy his
idol, the man-made word of God. Again he
says: we have no fears for our own safety,
only our ungodly neghbcr." What modern
SAINT New Style Christian admits that the
Bible does teach infant dam nation, which is sc
revolving to every humane heart, and consoles
himself by repeating the standard panacea
- Christ took little children IN Ills arms anc
blessed them suppose it had been poodle
dog instead OF little children would it have
changed the small canine 20 a lamb; We
think not That avenue Of escape Is too small
even for children.
With all becoming modesty, We acknowledge
ourseH to be very small fry in comparison
with intellectual whales, but there IL one poi.
upon which we are all on an equality, 1t il
this: We have just as much positive knowledg,
or the origin and destiny of the human family
as any other human being now living, and We
are not over-wise, either.

Bruce and others, and of the House OF Repre-

Hooker refuted what she called the popular
argument against woman suffrage, namely,
that there are too many voters in this country,
and they are too ignorant; that there is too
much freedoms; that to enfranchise women
would swell the tide of ignorant voters. She,
too, once thought foreigner should wait 20
years before being intrusted with the ballot.
Now that she understood The spirit OF our in.

That unscriptursl doctrine that has crept by
stealth into modern theology-that man is al
ready possessed OF immortality-is the cause OF
all this discussion about hell. Plato was the
author OF the doctrine, and the profigate Pope
Leo advanced It. Mr.. Ham, an English writer,
says: 4" Born and bred by the pagan philoso-
ply, the protege Of popery, this notion OF tho
souls immortality has become pet dogma OF
popular Professionalism" and yet is claimed to
be the honorable offspring of a true orthodoxy.
That there is hell whore the wicked are to
to the teachings of the Bible as it is revolving
to the human mind. But that the wicked are
to be punished for the violation OF Gods holy
law is plainly taught in both the Old and New
Testaments. That Punishment is sdeath-the
second death-not eternal life In misery. There
are los passages Of Scripture in proof OF this
statement. Please turn to the following and
read: Ps. 37:10-3S; Prov. 1925; 1871; Obad
16. The words, - They shall be as though they
had not been" and {" They are not" cannot be
so construed as to mean eternally burning in
hell. The Bible speaks Of everlasting punish
ment, everlasting destruction, etc, but no.
where is the idea conveyed that the sinner is
everlasting.
How are the righteous to inherit the prom
sed land IL they are not in possession OF i'm
mortal souls? Ans.-Immortality is the gift
of God, and will be given at the resurrection of
the just See Luke 14:l4 Cor. 15:51-54. =

first resurrection; on such the second death
hath no power."-Rev. 20:6. God only hath
