EVANGELIST

Editor of Sentinel,
Dear Sir: | read with interest a
reply in your columns to the repudia-
tion of eternal hell-fire and torment
doctrine. The International Bible
Students at recent convention
unanimously voted against such a
doctrine of the future life. | feel
Constrained to congratulate them, not
only on their correct understanding
of Gods precious word, but also for
their fearlessness in proclaiming the
truth.
There can be no question but what
many many ministers know that
there is nothing in our Gods words
as in any part of the Bible that could
literally support such view of the
hereafter. To quote his words hell
fire, where the worm dieth not and
the fire is not quenched" and inter
pret literally would be to imply that
those who go to life everlasting will
go halt, lame and blind. We do we'll
to remember that without a para
BILE spake He not unto them"
Our Lord taught us to love our
enemies, bless those who curse us and
do good to those who despitefully use
us. To hurl them to everlasting tor
into application His words. No honG
est Bible student questions the fact
that everlasting punishment is the
allotted position for the wilfully
wicked; but death everlasting is
surely everlasting punishment,
though not eternal torment Even
the best governments on earth have
learned that torture to convicts is
no indication of civilization
AS for soul-sleepers being poor
soul-winners, I'm afraid | will again
have to differ from the recent article
in your columns and agree with the
Lord. Jesus said of Lazarus, who
was dead, ''Lazareth sleepeth." Also
1t was said of Jesus himself, Thou
wilt not leave my soul in hades, -
showing that there was where his
soul went.
Every one of our senses, as we view
corpse, tell us the person Is dead,
asleep.
Heathen philosophy g and mis-
taken Christian ideas alone say he is
more alive than ever. From this mis-
taken idea is built the terrible doc
trine that God is to torment forever
those whom He created, a doctrine
supported alone by misapplication OF
parallels and symbols. God says, lisa.
29:13, Their fear toward me is
taught by the precept of men," May
the Lord help us to learn more fully
of His character God is love" If
there is any manifestation of love in
the doctrine of eternal torment I
haven't seen it. ! am ready to be

In the course of the debate 1t was
