A Picture Of Hell.
WHAT AN ENGLISH DIVINE TOLD HIS
YOUNG PARISHIoNERS.

The Rev. j. S. Eurnis, British
clergyman. has given the following
description of hell, which. he de-
signed for the instruction of the.
young. 1t is hard to believe that
people, either old or young, can,
receive either comfort or instruc--
ton from sucb red hot picture
of the bad place as Mr.. FuInis so
.ividly draws: We know how fer
it is to the middle of the ea-th-it
is just four thousand miles. So IS
hell is in she middle of the ealth il
is four thousand miles to the horEi-
BILE prison of hell Down in this
place is a horrible noise. Listen
10 the tremendous, the horril le up
roar CT millions and millions Of
tormented creatures. mad with the
fury of hell. Oh, the screams ct
fear. the groars of horror, the yells
OF rage,the cries of pain,the shouts
of agony, the sh,ieks of dispair,
from millions and millions Th ere
yen hear them roaring like lions.
Kissing like serpents, bowling like
dogs and wailing like dragons !
There you hear the gnashing Of
teeth and The fearful bIasphemies
e the devils. Above all you hear
ths roar Of The thunders of Gods
anger. WHICH sbskes ael to it's
foundations. But there is another
sound. There is in hell sound
like that CT many waters. 1t is az
if all the rivers and oceans of the
world were pouring themselves
with great splash down On The
floors OF hell. 1t is, then, really,
the sounds Of waters? Is it. Are
the oceans and rivers of the earth
pouring themselves into hell? No.
What is il, then? 1t is the sound Of.
oceans OF tears running down from
millions of eyes. They cry forever
and ever. They cry because the.
sulphurous smoke to,ments their
eyes. They cry because ley have
lost the beautiful heaven. They cry
because the sharp fire burns them.
The roof is hot. The floor is like
a thick sheet Of red hot iron. See,
On the middle of that red hot iron
door stands a girl. She is abou: 16
years of age. She has neither
shoes nor stockings on her feet,
The door of this room has never
been opened since she has set her
foot on this red hot floor. Now she,
sees the opeuing. She rushes for.
ward. She has gone down upoM
her knees upon the red hot iron
fnor. Listen! She speaks. She
says: 81 have been standing with
my bare feet on this rcd hot tfpor
for years. Day and night lay only
st',rding place has been on thisled
hot floor. Sleep never came on me-
for a moment, that l might foreet
this horrible burning floor. Look
at ny burned and bleeding feet.
L4t me go of this burning ioar for
one moment--only for short mo-
men'. Z, that in this endless
eternity OF years | might forget the
pain only for ono single moment"
The devil answers her question:
Do you ask for moment-for u
momen'-to forget your pain? No,
not ior a single moment during the
never ending eternity of years shall
you ever leave this red hot floor ,

A Touching Incident.

A singler and beautiful incidents
happened in Jacksonville, Florida,
not long ago. The little daughter
of a resident of that city was in the
habit of daily feeding a nighten-
gale, which wonld come to the
Eonsc every morning to receive its
food. Not long ago the little girl
sickened and died, and MS she lay
in her coffin the nlghtengale flew
through an open window into ths
room, sang one of its most bcauti-
ful melodies and departed. An hour
later it was found dead in the front
yard, having evidently Icriehcd
from grief at the loes Of it's young
fiicnd.-N. Y. Post.
A precisely similar incident hap
pened in Chicago last wiLter. An
old man had Ice in he habit of
throw ng fire-wood, boot jacks, and
what furniture he could spare, at
an old tom-cat that came around
about two o'clock every morning.
One day the old man died, ard AS
he lay in his coffin the cat came
around and uttered one of its most
defiant melodies. A ninutc after
it was found dead in the back yard,
having evidently died Of grief at
the loss OF its head, which one of
the mourncrs had blown off with :,
shotgun. There can be no doubt
that history repeats itself:=-Chica.
