VIE STING OF DEATH
HAS BEEN ABOLISHED
Jesus Abolished 1t in His Death, Declared
Bishop Hall in Sermon at the
Episcopal Church Last
Evening.

The Rt, Rev Arthur G. a. Hall Of
Burlington, bishop Of the Episcopal do
cese Of Vermont, preached at the morn
ing and evening services at the Church
Of the Good Shepherd yesterday and
was heard by large audiences. At the
morning service, the bishop confirmed q
class Of eight people
The bishops sermon in the evening
was on the subject, Death, and Christ's
Conquest Of Death He said III parts
"Jesus says, I am the resurrection and
the life, and whosoever believeth in Me
shall never die There was a very COM
mon belief about the teaching Of the
Bible that death was the penalty for sin
and that if there had never been any
sn on this earth there would never have
been any death
"But nowadays objections TO this be-
lief are raised and scientists show us
that there was physical death on this
earth before there was any sin. The
whole law Of nature teaches us that
death Is natural Apart from the teach
ings Of science, our own common sense
tells MS that without death this world
would have long ago become oyercrowl-
ed. II would not have been possible 10
feed, clothe and house an ef the people
that have been born since the world be-
gan We must die, and one generation
makes room for another
1rhat once popular conception Of the
Bible was wrong. and that fact shows MS
that we should be more careful Of our
Interpretation Of the Bible and should
strive 10 get a better knowledge Of its
teachings A moral and spiritual death
was the penalty which Adam and Eve
suffered because OF their sin. A man
who has sinned feels himself estranged
from God, and he shrinks away in fear
Of death That is the sting Of death.
Christians should never fear death.
They should at least meet II resignedly.
Jesus has taught us that we are raised
from one stage to another, and 80 the
painful thoughts of life have gone.
Jesus said, He that believeth on me
shall never die, but have eternal life
Temporal things end with this world. but
eternal things live on in the next world.
lie introduces us to higher spiritual
life and the true Christian should feel
At home ii Heaven. the home which by
prayer and study OF the Bible they haze
been preparing themselves for All
Christians should look forward to TIM
final resurrection Of the world and TO q
reunion with God The sting Of death
has been abolished Jesus abolished it

sting Of death, but he has not abolished
