EASTERN DIVINE LOCATES
 HELL
Declares It Is in the Sun, Which Is of No Use for Any Other Purpose of Mankind Or Heaven.

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Where is hades? The question has been asked often-and answered variously
 The variety of the answers made an inCliring world begin to think the question was unanswerable. But now, out of the silence, it is answered once again, this time literally, definitely. confidently. dogmaticaty.
 A minister at the national capital proclaims his discovery of hell He points triumphaRtly to it, displayed in all its vast expanse of undying flames. so radiant as to illuminate the face of the earth, so vast in extent as to hold all the sinners who have departed from earth through million years.
 If hell were any part of the earth or situated in it. the biblical promise that the curse placed upon the ground at the time of the expulsion of Adam | from Eden could not be carried out except by the creation of new hell or the removal of the old one to a new location
 That in substance is one of the chief reasons why Rev. Zed Hetzel | COpp, whose ancestors are buried on | Copp's Hill in Boston. believes hell I is in the sun.
 According ito Revelations" said
 Rev. Zed Copp. when the curse is re- moved from the ground there will be no longer be need for the sun. the moon or the stars. The capital of the new world. the new Jerusalem, will be lighted by the glory of God. | The sun will have disappeared. By the process of elimination the | uselessness of the sun except as a
 place of punishment for tTansgressors
 of the divine law Is shown much more
 clearly than any proposition that hell
 Is in or over the earth"
 MT. Copp laid down these prCtOsi- tions to a small congregation in Beth any Chapel, a mission in the red 1 light" district of Washington, and l thereby acquired a notoriety from
 which he does not shrink. because he believes he has come nearer answer | ing the ungodly scoffer's inquiry,
 Where is hell?" than any other man claiming to be an orthodox Christian. Bethany Chapel is a part of the 1 New York Avenue Presbyterian Church establishment in Washington. Associate Justice Harlan of the Su- preme Court of the United States is one of the church members. In addi- 1 tion to being an assistant pastor, MT. l Copp is a probation officer of the Ju-
 venile Court. His days, therefore, are devoted to ministrations to the 1 social outcasts and the incorrigible l children
 T was brought up in the orthodox way" said MT. COpp, but in the days
 of my young manhood I read Inger- | soil, Paine and VOltaire and for a
 time was inclined to an acceptance of thei- principles. or whatever you
 desire to call them. But II was
 saved from that by a desire to know
 the truth, which led me to reading of the Bible and a consultation of it's own words for the explanation of it's 1 mysteries. It is it's own best author, | ity and eXpOunder.
 The question Where Is Hell?' has always been one demanding an ans
 wer. l thought about the matter and prayed about it tco. But one day
 while riding along a country road in | California it came to me, not as rev l eIatiUn, because I do not claim to have ever been made the recipient oI
 such attention, but as you writers would say. as an inspiration. that the
 sun must be the place of punishment
 An orthodox hell must be as ever burning birthstone. The lake of burn ing birthstone. The lake of burning
 birthstone spoken of in the Bible can
 not be supplied with anything found
 on earth. Everything on earth that
 gives forth light and heat or either 1. without the other decreases in bulk There is no substance known tc . scientists that can supply heat ol , light without a reduction in bulk tha . can easily be measured.
 The sun is the only object in the universe that fills the bill of particu , lars of having an everlasting 1irt ,, which existed before the advent o man and the earth"
