ON He'll.
Rev. j. w. Crooks, of the Burr
Street Baptist church, preached on
HELP last evening,
lie introduced the subject by saying
that it was impossible for him to under
stand how people who believe in the
orthodox doctrine can joke about the
''hot place." He had been in conven-
tons where deacons and ministers
cracked their flipLant sayings about the
future punishment.
There was q period when no sermon
was considered proper without perora-
tlon OH hell. and now the pendulum has
swung back to the opposite extreme.
u would like to annihilate belief in
the doctrine, but both science and sense
are opposed to it. Annihlation is un-
thnkable. and | do not see how any
man can ask me-to believe something
which Is unthinkable., There never has
been an atom annihilated since creation,
and, so far as we know, there never
will be.
-"I do not believe we have any more
rlghtto apply literal Interpretation of
|. Chfis6S sayings on the subject of hell
| any more than we have on the subject
or heaven. Now. as matter of fact,
| few believe that there is actually city
| called Heaven. That it's streets are o.
| carat gold that its gates are jasper;

| ceptions. Do we truly believe thai
there are real mansions over there:

mansions we must have servants, and

four-walled dungeon full of fire and
sulphur? There had been fire burnins
in the valley of Gehenna for 600 years

taught eternal punishment. Pain isl
