JUDGEMENT DAY A MYTH
Nothing in the Story That We VIII Crawl
Ont of Our Graves.

New Bruins wick, y. J., July 29.-From
The pulpit OF the Livingstone Avenue
Baptist church, where two weeks ago
Evangelist Needham declared that there
were no famale angels, Rev. Enoch Per-
rire made the startling announcement
today that the day Of judgment IS a
myth He said such an idea must be
discarded, as t was merely a metaphor
Rev Perrine Is a professor in Bucknell
university. AT Iewisburg, Pa. the great
Baptist theological school, from which
so many ministers Of that faith have
been graduated, and his bold announce
ment had all the more startling effect.
Professor Perrine's sermon was based
on the TRANSPORTATION on the Mount.
and in the course of his remarks he
said the language which gave rise to the
idea OF a final great Judgment day was
simply metaphorical and used to i'm
press upon the Christian mind the i'm
3ortance Of the judgment. He said thar
a person upon dying passed directly 10
his reward OF to his punishment, as the
case might be. He also advanced the
idea that there was no doubt about the
recognition OF friends in heaven, and
that human beings would not lose their
identity or their individuality in heaven
if they went to that place. ''It would
De no punishment at all II a wicked
man lost his identity" said ne. because
there can be no greater punishment than
recollection
In confirming his ideas on these sub
jects the breaches spoke Of Moses and
Elias being on the Mount in form and
conversng with each other and being
recognized by the disciples. and said
that he aid not believe that the human
body would be Literally resurrected al
the end Of the world. as many held, but
that the spirit would become the tenant
o. new and glorified body. He held
that tie appearance o. Moses ana Elias
was proof that the redeemed lost none
OF their personality.
Speaking OF the fact that Christ saw
fit 70 call upon Moses and Elias to as
sist N the work of redemption, the
preacher said: at is reasonable 10 SUD-
pose that after they had enjoyed their
reward for 50 long time that they will
again De brought before Judge. as the
theory Of final judgment would i'm
ply. They must have been judged when
they Went - heaven. If We may learn
anything from the appearance of Moses
and Elias on the Mount os Transfgura-
ton death is not q dreamlesS sleep. but
raoher that We pass 10 our reward i'm
mediately."
Professor Perrine also expressed the
idea that tie interest shown by Moses
and Elias IN what WAS transpiring in
this world was proof mat the redeemed
lake an active interest IN everything
that : going on here and in many cases
they are minis;ering spirits. influencing
tnoSe in this world when they had l;,ie
idea OF il. His sermon was listened
10 with deep attention and created a
profound impression.

The pier is undergoing repairs and the
work OF the tug Viking, which was
moving some heavy logs from scow,
attracted the attention OF those present.
The tug wa, made fast to the wharf oy
a hawser, and. during the shifting OF
the logs the moose had worked its way
toward the top OF the wharf post.
To get a better view Of the operation
Mr.. Campbell stepped close to the haW-
ser and stood watching the tug al work.
There was a tremendous strain on the
rope, and its proximity 70 the top OF
the post made it dangerous. Some OF
the men on the wharf say that they
warned him Of the danger he incurred
by standing SO close. but he laughingly
answered:
"Oh. 1 guess there's no danger. am
ali right"
Once he started 20 move away, but
could rot convince himself OF any dan
ger and stepped back again.
Suddenly as the tug was straining on
the hawser, the heavy rope slipped from
its post and with vicious swish and
whir-r-r SHOT forward. the moose catch
ing Mr. Campbell around the neck as
skillfully as a thrown lasso. There was
a cry Of horror from the crowd of per-
sons, all Of whom had sen the accident
With terrible speed the heavy flying
rope jerked its victim ten feet into the
air. Then, its elasticity being spent,
It fell, dropping a Imp form on the
wharf
Several women, who had stood trans

to the wharf. Many Of the men rushed
forward TO pick up the body, but wnen
they reached II life was extinct.
An examination showed that the neck
had been broken, probably when first
caught in the flying moose. The fainting
women We're revived and the body was
al once removed, so that on the arrival
of the boat there was no Signs Of what
had taken place.
Mr.. Campbell was SO years Of age,
