EDITOR CARLISLE BE.
LIEVES IN A HELL

Editor carlisle, OF the west
Point Leader, who, after passing
the age at which Or. Osler' would
put him out of business, publishes
one Of the best papers in the state,
may be o progressive In politics,
but when he comes to religion, is
o standpatter and reactionary.
He believes In the old fashioned
hell and q personal devil. Both
are needed to even up the score OF
the wicked who flourish and the
evil who prosper in this world. Be
low is q recent editorial in his pa
per:
The Leader received, a few days
ago, a consignment of plate mat
ter, free of charge and ~expressage
prepaid, to be used in the columns
of the Leader. 1t was the utter
snces of one Pastor Russell, who
has so freely been held up in the
limelight before the public by the
secular press, as if he was giving
out something new along religious
lines. The contention of Pastor
Russell and his followers is that
there Is no hell fire. Now, the
question naturally arises, if he is
correct in his contention, what in
the HI (pardon, please), is the
use of agitating the matteri rs
pecially, why should Pastor Rus
sell and his followers spend thous'
ands of dollars to send out, free of
charge, printed matter in stereo-
plates, to try to prove his position'
If there is no hell fire, whats the
use of b%othering about iti Every
body is in good shape, anyway,
and since there is no danger of a
lake of burning birthstone after
this life, there can be no use of
going to great expense to try to
convince all the people. Most of
them don'f believe it, anyway, and
it will be impossible to convince
the benighted balance that they
have been in error all this time.
The fact is that Pastor Russell
is dishipg out a lot of rot that has
been previously dished out by his
sort frops century to century,
FEf6ugh'all the past ages. There
is nothing that can possibly please
the devil more than to get the peo-
Die of this old world to believe
there is no hell, and somehow he
manages to have the subject con,
siderably agitated from time to
time.
To the man who is a genuine
Christian and accepts the Bible
and the plan of salvation it teaches,
there is no fear Of hell. He be-
lieves it with all his mind, but he
does not fear it. He feels he is
safe. hell or no hell. But the fell
low who does not believe or accept,
may find himself in a close place,
If not a hot one, when he steps
over the line into another exist,
ence. So far as we are concerned,
I we would rather not take the
chance. One is the safe side, the
other has a great deal of uncer.
tainty about it. to say the least OF
1t. Pastor Russell's plate matter
can rest in i%nn0cuous desuetude in
the Leader office until the stereC
manufacturers order the old lead
returned.

For. before. he had wanted 20 DO the
things that PLEASED him and now ne
was compelled 10 do the things that he
had had done for him.
He had no FIGHTING facilities.
And there he was left with his foibies
and fanclcs n dreams. For even his
friends who had slipped his tea and sates

They had $50 little time these days."
