remember that the righteous, all their
sins forgiven, pass right up into a be-
attic state, and then, having passed I'M
into the beatific state, not needing anv
other chance, that will leave all those
who have never been forgiven, and who

can 1t be expected that they will be sent
down from some celestial missionary
society to educate and to save those who
wasted their earthly existence? No
We are told distinctly that all mission
ary and evangelistic influences will be
! ended forever, and the good having
passed up to their beatific state, all the
morally bankrupt will be together, and
where are the salvable influences to
come from? Will specked or bad apple

the other apples good? Will one who is
down be able to lift others up? Will
those who have miserably failed in the
business of this life be able to nav the
debts of other spiritual insolyents? Will
a million wrongs make one right? Po-
neropolls was the city where King Ru-
fus OF Thracia put all bad people of his
kingdom, and whenever there were in
lqultous people found in any part of the
land they We're all sent to Poneropolis.
1t was the great capital of wickedness
Suppose man or a woman had opened
a primary school in Poneropolis; would
the parents of other cities have sent
their children there to be educated and
| reformed?
If a man in this world was surrounded
with temptation, in the next world, all
the righteous having passed up into the
beatlfic state, the association will be
more deteriorating, depreciating and
down. You would not send to cholera
or yellow fever hospital a man for his
health, and the great lazaretto of the
future, in which are gathered the dis
eased and the plague struck, will be a
poor place for moral recovery. The
Count of Chateaubriand, in order to
make his child courageous, made him
sleep in the turrets Of the castle, where
the winds howled and specters were
said to haunt the place. The mother
and the sisters almost died of fright,
but the son afterward gives his account
and he says, ''That gave me nerves of
steel, and gave me courage that has
never faltered."
But, my friends, I do not think the
turrets of darkness or the spectral
world swept by sirocco and euroclydon
will ever prepare soul for the eternal
land of sunshine. l wonder what is the
curriculum in the College Inferno,
where 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 SEN
ior, and day of graduation comes, and
the diploma is signed by satan, the

moniacs attest the fact that the candi-
date has been sufficient time under
their drill, and then enters heaven.
Pandemonium, preparatory school for
celestial admission Ah my friends,
while satan and his cohorts have fitted
vast multitude for ruin, they never
fitted one soul for happiness-never!
The Logic of 1t.
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 life
time of wickedness he can fix it all
right up in the future. That would be
the decentralization 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. The
fear that if we are bad and unforglven
here it will not be well with us III the
next existence is the chief influence
that keeps civilization from rushing
back into semibarbarism, and keeps
semibarbarism from rushing back into
midnight savagery, and keeps midnight
savagery from rushing back into extinc-
ton. Now, the man is kept on the linn
it's of sin. But this idea coming into his
soul, this idea of another chance, he
says: go to, now. I'll get out of this
world all there is in it. Come gluttony
and revenge and uncleanness and all
sensualities, and wait upon me. 1t may
abbreviate my earthly life by dissolute-
ness, but that will only give me heav-
enly indulgence on larger scale IN
shorter length of time. 1 will overtake
the righteous before long, I will only
come in heaven little late, and Will
be a little more fortunate than those
who have behaved themselves on earth
and then went straight to the bosom OF
God, because 1 will see more and have
wider excursion, and / will come into
heaven via gehenna, via sheolF' Hear
ersl Readersl Another chance Ill the
next world means free license and the
demolition of this Suppose you had a
case in court, and all the judges and all
the attorneys agreed in telling you the
first trial of tit would be tried twice
| the first trial would not be OF very
much Importance, but the second trial
would decide everything. On which
trial would you put the most expendl-
ture? On which trial would you employ
the ablest counsel? On which trial
would you be most anxious to have the
attendance of all the witnesses? 'Oh, ="
YOU would say, "if there are to be two
trials and the first trial does not amount
To much. the second trial being every
thing, everything depending upon that,
must have the most eloquent attorney,
and I must have all my witnesses
present, and will expend my money
on that If these men who are I'M
penitent and who are wicked felt
there were two trials, and the first was
of no very great Importance and the
second trial was the one of vast and in
finite Importance, all the preparations
for eternity would be post mortem, post
funeral, post sepulchral, and this world
would be jerked off into impenitency
and godlessness. Another chance in an
other world means the demolition OF
this world.
At the Banquet.
Furthermore, my friends-for am
preaching to myself as we'll as to you !;
we are on the same level, and though
the platform be little higher than the
pew, it is only for convenience, and that
we may the better speak to the people !;
we are all on the same platform, and
am talking to my soul while talk to
yours-my friends, why another chance
in another world when we have declined
so many chances in this? Suppose you
