| SOMEONE asks how the doctrine oil
reincarnation can be squared with
the doctrine of heaven and hell
That is easy. The Bible plainly says
that the kingdom of heaven is with
in you. The kingdom of hell must
be in the same place. Also the Bible
plainly states that if you descend in
to hell you will find God there.
Heaven and hell are mental and spir-
itual states. and the bottomless pit is
literally bottomless. It is also top
less and sideless. You think and
feel it into being, and you think and
feel it into the same bottomless pit
in which you find God.
The ultimate reward of the just is
justice. Justice is blind! Nobody
who has yet lived is able to say what
is absolutely just. But tn e One
Spirit which is the soul of this uni
verse rewards justice to the hairs
breadth.
The reward of the just is justice.
The reward of the loving is love.
The most unjust man in the world
is he who is the greatest stickler for
justice.
As God works out the principle of
justice he finds that only love can
make the balance true.
Love ordains hell to correct more
