No Probation after Death.

The question of a probation after death
must be answered by the Word of God.
and that is the Word of God to US, Pres.
byterians, which is "either expressly set
down, or deduced by good and necessary
inferance." We do not attempt to be
"wise above what is written" What,
then, do the Scriptures teach?
1. That the Heathen will be Judged
according to the light they have, by the
revelation of God in His works and their
own conscience, aided by the tradition OF
the Old Testament Revelation. ''The
invisible things of God are clearly seen
by tie things that are made" Rom,
i:2O. "These not having law are law
unto themselves-the consciences also
bearing them witness" Rom. ii: ID.
"Knowing judgment of God that they
which commit such things are worthy of
DEATH" Rom, i: 80.
2. That this revelation is sufficient to
render their ungodiness and unrighteous-
ness" inexcusable. $50; then, they are
without excuse" Romans, i: 20
8. The doctrine of a probation after
death seems to us inconsistent with the
following Scriptures: "It is appointed
unto men once to die, and after this, (not
probation, but) ,hejudgment." Hebrews,
ix:27. It is added that man shall be
sjudged according to the deeds done in
his body" not for deeds after death, in q
ldisembodied state. Again: The Lord
knoweth how to keep the. unrighteous
under punishment unto the day of judg-
ment," not under probation. / Peter,
i:9. 1t has been truly said that the
theory of probation after death is sup.

will and chance to attain heaven and
divinity. If it preferred sin and lust,
and surrendered to the temptations of the
evil one, then it lost its chance, and
became an evil spirit-a demon-and
occupied the forms of serpents and swine
and other malicious animals. "And the
serpent was the most subtle of all the
beasts of the field and said to the woman
thou shalt not surely die." "And the
evil spirit went into the herd of swine
and they ran down into the sea-" "And
the Lord sent an evil spirit upon Saul"
1t is wonderful how many beliefs there
have been in the world in ages past and
how many there are now. But they all
recognize Great Creator and the exist
ence of good and evil. They all recog-
nize punishment for sin >snd mans free
agency to be good or bad.
But the Christian religion is now the
established faith OF the progressive, lntel'
ligent world. Even the Jew admits that
much. He will not dwell outside Of it.
Under its kind influence he is protected
and prospers. 1t is the light of civiliza-
tion and grows brighter as the years roll
on. Whether this Sabbath morning be
the anniversary of the resurrection or not
this Easter sun gives light and hope and
faith to many lands and myriads of peo'
pie it did not year ago. 1t is more
rapidly advancing than ever before, and
is destined to enclose the world in its
loving embrace.
