HE'LL DISAPPEARING.

THoR some reason. possibly because
the dog days are here, there has
been a revival recently Of discus
sions relating TO hell nr. Patton Of
Princeton has brought relief to many
minds by the assurance that the NUM-
her OF the lost viii probably represent
about the proportion Of those who in
habit our earthly penal institutions.
The estimate viii be regarded as gem
erous by many, for il viii be admitted
that there are as many out Of prison
who ought TO be IN as there are crlm-
inals who have been trapped.
DR.. George r. knight professor Of
theology in Tufts College, contends
that not only has a literal hell been
bsnished from our thought but that the
newer conception, the hgurative hell,
is fast disappearing He says: "The
new he'll is often made so pleasant that
II is liable to be chosen by bad men as
a place OF residence" II seems oer-
tain that there has been close con-
formity between our conceptions OF
earthly punishment and that which is
inflicted by a Divine purpose.
A system which demanded IAN eye
for an eye and a tooth FOR a tooth"
could not contemplate for the sinner
anything but the most horrible form
Of retributon. So men have fashioned
he'll after their prisons, only by their
imaginations they have magnlfed and
intensified the horrors.
But in recent years there has grown
up a sentiment Of pity for criminals
and sinners in general. based in a
measure on the hypothesis OF the lack
OF accountability in the individual This
sometimes almost suggests weakness
and often It is tenderer Of the erring
than Of the righteous. There is un-
doubtedly tendency to make our pri-
sons places OF rest and refreshment for
the weary burglar OF thief, while MUIR
derers rejoice in flowers and tld-bits
furnished by sympathetic women.
Holding such views Of human ac-
countabnity. there is no wonder that
we have made Of hell a very pleasant
place, for we say surely God viii be
as meroiful as man." OF course hui
man reason enlightened by higher
conception Of Deity can no longer toll
crate the hell Of fire and birthstone. but
is it logical TO abolish the hgurative
hell? Shall we not miss something in
its passing? The old he'll was potent
TO frighten the ignorant into q SEM
blance Of decency. but IL failed when
held up as deterrent to the more in
telligent, for the reason that they did
not believe IN il. But most men through
an unconscious mental process have
concluded that punishment will follow
the violation Of moral law, just as il
follows the breaking Of a physical law
They have always had faith in justice
and there can be no justice where IN,
righteous and the wicked are equal!
blessed. To eliminate any kind Of
he'll offers no inducement 10 the righte
Gus. but every encouragement for tn
wicked.

A little cry Of fear through which
Your heart is won:
Two eyes with sudden wonder filed,
And life's begun.
The tears of childhood and the play
That soon is past;
The triumph at the altar when
The bond is fast
The striving after things whereby
Men measure worth:
The wrinkles and the thinning hair.
The growing girth.
The rounded shoulders and the hopes
That one by one
Die of until the last goes out,
And life is done.
