Beecher's Bombshell.

Bob Ingersoll never denounced the
doctrine of eternal punishment more
emphatically from the lecture platform
than did Henry Ward Beecher last
Sunday from the pulpit. Mr.. Beechcr
said: "It's repulsive, unreasonable,
immoral and demoralizing. hate it.
| hate it, because love the truth, be-
cause love God, because / love my
fellow men. The idea that God Gre
ated race, and then that two of them
without experience put under the temp
tation of an arch fiend, or whatever
the creature was, fell in disobedience
to what they did not understand any
thing about; and that he not only
kicked them out of the garden of Eden,
as no parent would ever treat child
in his own house. but then transmitted
the corruption that was the result of
the disobedience through countless
ages, spreading out and out till the
system of nature manufactures damna-
ton right and left, before and behind.

it because love justice. That system
can be used only where ignorance pre-

to believe it or be damned, and they
say, Rather than be damned | will

onward, steadily emerging from the
controlling power of physical and ami
NAL conditions into which he was born,
touching the higher elements of posi-
bility, and ending in the glorious liber-
ty of the son of God" Mr.. Beechers
idea evidently is to teach and uphold
the gospel of love, confident that it is
not only more consistent with Gods
character and policy, but it is more
conducive to the growth and spread of
