Pastor Rusell's argument Is fairly
good. and may be accepted with only
slight notifications; but his idea that
the others are To be saved during the
millennium. while true in sense and
to a certain extent still leaves out 81

III Thessalonians l., ~.
Thus far the Pastor goes, and he
has made great progress. What he
has yet TO learn is that the souls Of
the uncounted dead the spirits In pris-
on since the days of Noah. and all 9TH
ers who from any cause did not obey
the Gospel in this life, will have the
opportunity OF hearing and Of accept
ing or rejecting It IN the life to come.
For this reason, as the Apostle shows,
the Gospel shall be preached to them
that are dead that they may be Judged
upon the same principles as those who
have learned Of it during their sojourn
upon this earth.
