SERMON ON HELL"
Rev. J. III. Wicker OF Boston delivered
his last OF the series OF four sermons In
the hall OF the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon.
His subject was HELL" and he selected
his text from Matthew, 25th chapter. 18th
verse: These shall go away into eternal
punishment"
This" he said. affords the most ter
rible subject that can be CLEANED from the
Bible. lt In something which every one
OF us. no matter to what faith he may be-
long, takes home for consideration at
some time or other and IL always fills US
with fear. 1t has been said that a man
cannot talk on tho subject of hell and do
IL justice. There are two classes Of
preachers who do not do II Justice. One OF
these is the man who misrepresents the
spirit of God utterly and the other Is the
namby pamby sort Of preacher who
apologies for its place In the Bible
have no apology TO make for the word OF
the Bible. the word OF God.
II have often desired that the tones OF
Christ might be put into the words OF the
Bible, Oftentlmes preacher in teach
ing the word of God misrepresents un-
knowingly and orthodoxy comes danger
ousy near becoming heterodoxy.
Inc people want TO get rid or the idea
that there Is hell. The good people de-
sire not to think OF II. because they have
had someone belonging to them die who
has had no hope I'm the Bible, and they
cannot bear TO think OF that person as
being lost forever. He'll is condition OF
character that sin produces here and
hereafter. A man may blow out his
brains who just before doing IL could
| nave written out his check for million
uoildrs' Inc wicked draw thelr pleasure
from materlalism and the good take
pleasure from the thoughts OF Christ.
Every great literary writer has yindi-
Gated the Bible, In the contention that
there Is a hell; Take Shakespeare. for
example. and all through his works you
will find the lesson. that what man sows
he shall reap. In Macbeth he portrays
a man who slays another for ambition,
on his hand, which he cannot wash out.
Let a man be in sin. let God die, let
/ Christ die and let hell be wiped out and
then, 10 cap all give that man the uni
verse, and he will still have a seethng
hell in his own conscience.
To man who is in sin and In such a
condition, that his conscience is con-
tinual hell TO him, ! would say TO him,
you, and He gave His Son to die for you.
Look into His word and be saved"
