GIVE UP HOPE

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 16.-Al-
though the whaleback steamer
Bayview reported that It spoke
the government tug Nina off
Mauntauk last Sunday, no word
of the little vessel, which has been
missing since Feb. 6, was received
lat the Charleston navy yard to-
day.
The navy yard officials figured
that IL the tug was off Mauntauk
Sunday. she should have reached
here late yesterday or early this
morning. They are of the opin-
ion that the officers of the Bay
view spoke another tug resembling
the missing vessel.
The Nina carried a crew of 80
men. For four days revenue cut
tiers and ships from the navy yard
have been searching for her, and
hope that any of her crew have
been rescued has practically been
abandoned.

HOUSE PASSES
RIVERS AND
HARBORS BILL
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 16.
The rivers and harbors bill
carrying an appropriation of $40,-
100000 passed the house yester-
day afternoon without any SUP
stantial amendments by the rep
resentatives. The bill was COM
pleted by the house committee
last week and was reported fav-
orably soon afterward.
The government projects on
the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio
rivers get the largest slices of the
appropriation pie. The harbors

and commercial value, while even
few of the island possessions
are not overlooked in the general
division of appropriation.

compelled to sit in their special

Depew ran his bunch of Archime-

secret service men and passed
them rapidly before the Urbane
Presence. The Urbane Presence
stood firmly planted on wide
spread feet and disposed of the
whole bunch without moving out

Eternal Torment.

Editor TIE Washington Herald.
A correspondent, In your issue OF Mon
day. April Il, insists that the Bible does
teach eternal torment Of the incorrigible.
and that a denial Of such doctrine Is
anti-Christian. Permit me % Introduce
the Scripturai testimany in rebuttal. and
let the truth-seeker choose for himself.
The word hell occurs thirty-one times
In the English Old Testament It never
means a place OF torment nor a lake OF
FIRE. but. on the contrary. the state or
condition Of death In proof OF this,
please notice that in thirty-four other
occurrences OF the identical Hebrew word,
"sheol," II IS translated grave" or pit"
Indeed. the old English word hell"
merely signifies a covered or concealed
place for storage, and il is so used by
early authors.
When Jonah was IN the fish and prayed
70 the Lord. he said: "Out OF the belly OF
hell cried I and Thou heardest nv voice
Jonah, 40. The atmosphere OF his
temporary hell may have been a trlae
close. but we are sure there was no FIRE
When Jacob. grieving over the loss OF
his beloved son, Joseph, cried, ct will 20
down into sheol unto my son." Is It rea-
sonable to suppose that he believed his
good son was in a place OF torment?
1t was patient Job who prayed, oh
that Thou wouldest hide mo in sheol till
Thy wrath be past" Dob. xiv.8. Surely
he did not wish to jump out OF the frying
pan os his troubles into the fire and
birthstone Of a place OF torment. On the
contrary. he describes It in chapter <.
verses q and 2, as "a land OF dark
Tess, as darkness itself'-not even a
glimmer Of freight.

(Hebrew, H:9. and not eternal torment.
The New Testament word "hades" has
the same meaning as the Hebrew word
"sheol." as is proved by its use when
quoting Old Testament passages. (See
Acts, h:27) Another word used twelve
times in the New Testament is the Greek
word "Gehenna," meaning literally "the
Valley OF HInnom."
This was a place Just outside OF Jeru-
salem, where fires were maintained con-
tinually for the destruction OF refuse.

what meaning may be attached by
scholars or by the unscholarly to certain
Greek words often in dispute I venture
20 affirm that no thinking, loving human
being can possibly believe in unending
torment and at the same time have faith
in God.
Then the employment of the word
eternal in connection with punishment
that has beginning is utterly absurd.
for that which Is eternal must be without
beginning. as we'll as without end. In
Jewish literature we often encounter the
phrase. The Eternal is our God the
Eternal is One"-a perfectly logical sem
tence, for we know that Il IS the faith
of Israel that God is without beginning

Where are the indisputable originals Of

And even could originals be found. what
possible evidence should we have that

atheism which even remotely approaches

Government Ownership of Railroads

Editor TIE Washington Herald:
The desire Of the people in the Southern
States 10 have separate cars for the two
races is supposed to stand in the way OF
government ownership OF railroads.
But does g necessarily II the States
should own the local railroad and the
Federal governments. the interstate lines.
then Congress might provide that the
regulations made by each State should
apply on the Federal railroads IN that
state. provided that the state would give
equally good accommodations on the color
ed cars as on the white cars. but that
in States where the colored passengers
did not receive proper accommodations.
though separately then the separate car
law should not apply on the Federal rail-
roads.
Under such an arrangement there would
undoubtedly be separate cars and good
clean accommodations for each race.
