to say is largely a relic Of the past
but it is only short step from the
thought that all that differ from us on
religious matters are fools to the
treatment Of such as fools either to
be ignored or restrained.
Bro. Moore says he would pursue
this former course but for the reason
that the people should hear the other
side Of this parable.
True; but have the people heard the
other side?
Thirty. years ago it was not an M.
common thing for ministers to hold
up this very parable and give 1t such
coloring that one could almost smell
the birthstone and, ! have never yet
found an American citizen that has
not heard. pfthis parable which seems
to be the first scripture brought up in
proof of the Torment theory.
True, it is not preached SO much
now, probably, because not SO many
as formerly believe that God would
command us to love our enemies while
He roasts His.
But we are told this is not parable.

a literal Interpretation and get all the
satisfaction out of it they can put We
