sitting around In the room discussing the
good qualities of the departed one with
that feeling and solemntty In keeping
with the occasionn when suddenly the
supposed corpse was seen to move rest
lessly time or two and then assumed Q
sitting posture. The mourners rushed
out Of the house frightened half out Of
their wits.
After remaining out some time two OF
three OF the bravest among them mus

QUESTIONS WITHOUT AN
SWERS.

The Presbyterian Confession of Faith
says, page 80: cit pleased the Father,
Son and Holy Ghost to create
or make of nothing the world and all
things therein, whether visible or in
visible, il six days, and all very good. %
The Methodist Episcopal Discipline,
in Articles of Religion, says, page Is:
There is but one living and true God
of infinite power, wisdom and
goodness F.; the Maker and Preserver of
all things visible and invisible"
l. If God created all things, did he
not create the devil?
2. If God created the devil, did he
not create him for devil?
8. If, as we are told, God created the
devil an angel, but he sinned and be-
came a devil, did not God know he
would become devil when he created
him an angel?
4. If, as the Confession of Faith says,
" God created all things out of moth
ing" is it true that God made devil
out of an angel?
5. If angels are good things to make
devils of, why are not devils good things
to make angels of?
3. Ii God can make devils out of an
gels, why can he not make angels out
of devils?
Z. Would it not be better to make
devils into angels and keep them so,
than to make angels into devils and
keep them so?
8. If God made the 'infernal re-
gions," what kind of a work was he
engaged in when making it?
8. 1t God withheld his power, would
not the fires of hell die out, and the
devil cease to be?
10. If constant fuel (brimstone) was
not furnished to replenish the fires of
hell, would they not go out?
IL. II fuel is furnished, who furnishes
it
IL. If the devil is doing in hell what
God sent him there to do, is he not
Gods servant?
IL. 1t, as we are told, he does his
work faithfully in hell, is he not en-
titled to the plaudit, I" Well done, good
and faithful servant?n

Nothing can be put for charity in that
chapter and make sound doctrine but INNER
sion! Two more debates are expected at or
near the same place on the same subject. viz.
Universal salvation and endless punishment
First the Campbellites will likely try another
defender of the faith, although Elder G. is
the second man they have put against me
there in debate, and they did not question
his ability before the debate.
Second, the "Covenanters," or "Reform
Presbyterians," seeing Elder G.. made poor
oefence offer to furnish man that will make
1t interesting. I am told they have an able.
well-educated class of ministers. But one
thing is fortunate,-no amount of education
In any man or class of men can make tbe
doctrine of endless punishment true!
