100000.
Surely an endeavor TO arrive at cor
rect idea of the population of hell, as
snming the orthodox idea of it to be
sound, has at least tho element of
novelty to recommend it. recent
writer has computed that in round num-
bers the earth has population of 300
600, 900, of which 300, 100000 are pro-
fessed Christians, the other l 900, 900, 900
being Mohammedans, Buddhists, Jews,
pagan and hcathen. The whole race
was condemned to eternal punishment
for the sin of Adam. This was the fall
Of man, from which there was and is no
redemption save through the death of
Christ.
biblical chronology gives the earth q
period Of about 5000 years. From
Adams time to Christ was 1000 years
during which period no human souls
were saved. The population then may
have averaged 1000, 900, 600 Three
generations, or 5000, 600, 900 pass away
in each century. Forty centuries
therefore, consigned 10000. 600, 0OC OF
men to eternal fire, and for all that is
known. they arc there now. In the
1000 years which have elapsed since
the birth of Christ 81, 1000, 600, 900 more
of human beings have lived and died =,
If all the Christians, nominal and real,
who have ever lived on the face of the
earth have been saved they would not
number more than 1S,00n, 900, 00O
Now, if we deduct the latter number
from the grand total of Isl, 900, 900, 900
there is found $4,000, 900, 900 souls who
are suffering the torments Of hell fire.
against IS, 600, 900, 900 who have escaped.
But this is not the whole truth. Nobody
believes that moro than ten per cent. Of
the protested Christians arc saved. Cal
vinists themselves say the elect are few

the girl and found that she was going to

He did not care where she went as he
did not know her, and said he would
readily accompany her to her destina-
ton. Another young man named
Roo enheizer had purchased the ticket
for her.
Mayor Evans consulted with Roy Il.
