Dives In Torment.
But the parable declares that Dives
was in torment! How could this be,
seeing that the word hades signifies
the death state, the unconscious con.
dition? We answer that the Jewish
people have q double aspect. In the
parable and out OF IT, Nationally. they
are dead or asleep. but as people
they are very much alive--uo other
people more so. It Is as people that
they have been suffering the tortures
of persecution during the past eighteen
centuries. while as Il nation they have
been dead. buried. In hqdcs, and are
awaiting resurrection. Of which the
present Zionism Is an advance token.

Tho Rich Man Tormonted In Hadeo.
All scholars will concede that the
Greek word hades and the Hebrew
word sheol. rendered hell In our com
mon version. really signify the death
state. the tomb. Various Scriptures
tell us of the silence Of Sheol and hGdeS
and that there Is neither wisdom nor
knowledge nor device there; that the
dend know not anything. Scholars,
therefore, have been perplexed grently
at the statement Of this parable that
The Rich Man lifted up his eyes In
hddeS being In torments.
The difficulty dissolYes as soon as
we have the proper Interpretation to
the parable and see that the Jewish
people died az nation and were
buried as nation. but did not all die
individually. The people of Israel, out
cast from their own land among all
the nations Of earth. are very much
alive. socially and personally, having
suffered for all these centuries,
