ENDLESS MISERY EXAMINED
and Refuted. In Series of Lectures.
By Rev. |. d. Williamson, ID. d. 16mo.
2OS pages. so cents.
This volume is made from new set of
plates. The value of the work is attested
by the fact that over 10000 copies have
been sold. 1t ie, prominently, "a book
for the opposer." The proof-texts on
which the doctrine of endless punish
ment is supposed to rest, are here exam
ined and shown conclusively not to teach
this dogma. The discourses of which it
is composed are twelve in number, and
devoted to the discussion of the most
noted texts which are adduced to support
endless punishment. In. the opening
diseourses the doctrine is shown TIC be
unreasonable, opposed to God, unscrip-
tural; and He'll, the Second Death, Bias
phemy against the Holy Ghost, Rich
Man and Lazarus, and Everlasting DAM
nation are among the topics discussed
To all who would understand the real
meaning of the old proof-texts, this sharp
and searching book will be welcome
help. In communities where opposition
prevails, it will do ready execution. Ad-
dress orders to Universalist Publishing
House, Western Branch, Chicago.

voted to the following subjects: The Uni
versalism of Reason, Nature, Experience,
Unity and Sympathy, Cause and Effect,
and the Universalism of the Old and the
New Testaments, with a closing chapter
on the Utility of Uniyersalism. DR.. Will
iamson's thought and pen were at home
among such themes as these, and some
of his strongest writing is contained in
this work. Originally delivered as a
course of Sunday evening lectures, the
chapters, as they now appear, have all the
directness of pulpit addresses with the
completeness and finish of more labored
productions. Address orders to UniveIs-
