If IA man in this world was surrounded
with temptation, in the next world, all the
righteous having passed up into the beatiiic
state, the association will be moro dctc-
rioriating, depreciating and down. You
would not send to IA cholera or yellow fever
hospital man for his health, and the
great lazarettO Of the future, In which are
gathered the diseased and the plague
struck, will be a poor place for moral re-
covery The Count of Chatcauhiand, In
order to make his child courageous, made
him sleep in the turrets Of the castle, where
tho winds howled and spccters were said to
haunt the place The mother and the sis
tiers almost died of fright, but the son att
erward gives his account, and he says,
"That gave me nerves of steel and gave me
courage that has never faltcrod. " But,
darkness or the spectral world swept by
sirocco and euroclydon will ever prepare
a soul for the eternal land of sunshine. l
wonder what is tie curriculum in the Col
lego Inferno. where u man. having been
prepared by enough sin, enters and goes up
from freshman of iniquity to sophomore
OF abomination, and on up from sopho-
more to junior, and from junior to senior,
and day of graduation comes, and the
diploma is signed by satan, the president
and all the professional demoniacs attest
the fact that the candidate has been "a s,.f-
ficient timo under their drill and then en-
tors heaven PandemoEium, "A preparatory
school for celestial admission! All, my
friends, while satan and his cohorts have
fitted a vast multitude for ruin, they never
fitted one soul for hapFiness-never.
Again, wish you further to notice that
another chance in another world means the
ruin Of this Now, suppose a wicked man /
Is assured that after lifetime of wicked /
ness he can fix it all right up in the fu-
ture That would he the decentralization I
Of society that would be the demolition Of .
the human race There are men who are /
now kept on the limits of sin by their fear. 1
The fear that if we are bad and unforgiyen !
here it will not be well with us in the next /
existence is the chief influence that keeps .
civilization from rushing back into semi
and keeps semibarbarism from
rushing back into midnight savagery, and
keeps midnight sayagcry from rushing
back into extinction. Now, the man is
Kept on the limits of sin. But this idea
coming into his soul, this idea of another
,hance, he says; go to, now. III get out
# this world all there is in it. Come, glut-
iony and revenge and uncleanness and all
and wait upon me. 1t may
lbbreviate my earthly life by dissoluteness,
but that will only give me heavenly in
lulgence on n larger scale in n shorter
ength Of time 1 will overtake the right
,ous before long. Twill only come in heav-
N little late, and ] will be Il little more
ortunate than those who have behaved
themselves on earth and then went straight
o the bosom of God, because / will sec
moro and have wider excursion and will
ome into heaven via gehenna, via sheolp'
Iearers! Readersl Another chance in the
lext world means free license and the
of this. Suppose you had n case
n court, and all the judges and all the at
orneys agreed in telling you the first trial 1
( tit would be tried twice-the first
rial would not be of very much impor-
ance, but the second trial would decideev-
rything. On which trial would you put {
he most expenditure? On which trial
rould you employ the ablest counsel? On !
ghich trial would you Ee most anxious to {
ave the attendance Of all the witnesses? {
Oh, " you would say "if there are to be '
.o trials, and the first trial does not {
mount to much, the second trial being {
everything depending upon
hat, must have the most eloquent at {
Drney, and must have all my witnesses {
resent, and will expend my money on 4
bat. If these men who are impenitent ]
nd who are wicked felt there were two J
rails, and the first was of no very great c
Importance, and the second trial was the
nc of vast and infinite Importance, all the
separations for eternity would be post Z
iortem, post funeral, post sepulchral, and
MS world would be jorked OF into i'm
enitency and godlessness Another chance
! another world means the demolition of
lis world.
