Eternal He'll Is Secuted.

The doctrine that there is an ever
lasting punishment was excoriated in
an address delivered at Philadelphia
by Rev. Charles T. Russell of Alleghe
ny, Pa. ITO He'll and Back" was the
subject announced and the hall was
crowded with people anxious to hear
the man who has so strenuously op-
posed the belief in eternal punish
ment. There are thousands of people
in insane asylums today because they
were taught to have faith in the doc
trine of an everlasting hell, where
millions suffer roasting" said Mr..
Russell. The common doctrine is
simply this: God first prepared great
abysses. stocked with fuel to last
through the eternal ages, some fire.
proof devils with pitchforks. He then
created man and condemned the great
er portion of mankind to roast forever
in this place. The ministers are re-
sponsible for this error. They know
that that doctrine is false, but it suits
their purpose and they do not care to
tell the truth"

Pa is stuck on the zebras. j do not
know what there is about a zebra. un-
less it is the wall paper effects of his
exterior decoration that should make
q man leave all the other animals and
cleave unto the zebra, but pa has been
putting in his leisure time all summer
breaking the zebraS to harness, and
driving them single and double in the

you might as well talk to a rich old

A zebra always looks to me like a
joke that nature has played. Who. but
nature, would ever think of laying out
2 plan for a zebra, and painting it in
stripes, like a BARRIERS pole, and yet
we must admit. that few human artists
could paint a million Zebras and get
the strines on as perfect as nature
does with her eyes shut. The mule
and the zebra are distant relatives,

cause lots of mules have a few stripes
on their legs but the zebra is the
eldest son who is aristOcratic and in

for the money. but has to work for
q living. So it is no wonder to me
that the mule kicks. The zebra is the
dude of the family. and the mule
looks up to him. when he ought to kick
his Stats in, and rub out his stripes
with mule shoe eraser.
