2.--WiIl the little children that have
died up to this time, and the infants,
especially mentioned by the Prophet
jeremiah (xxxi, 15) have any expert
ence with evil in tho time of Christ's
reign, so as to appreciate the principles
of Righteousness in contrast with that
which is wrong7 a.. 3. F.)
Answer.-There are four ways of ac-
quiring knowledge. namely, by obser-
vation. by instruction. by experience.
and by intuition. The race for six
thousand years has been gaining
knowledge OF SIN and evil by means
of the first three inethods, as intuition
Is faculty of the Divine mind and
not of the human. During the period
of Christ's reign evil will be gradually
eliminated from the earth; as we read
For He must reign, till He hath put
all enemies under His feet Ct Corin-
thans Nv. 25. 26l., Little children and
infants who shall attain to maturity
In that time will acquire knowledge
of evil by the same methods as those
that then righteousness will be tri-
umphing and virtue will be rewarded
as it is manifested. whereas now, those
who will live godly In Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution" and 'rhe.wick-
ed flourish as the green-bay tree" Ql
Timothy III. IL; Psalm xxxvii. I35). The
lessons of that time will be fully as
impressive as under the present condi.
tions, and those who will fail to profit
by them after having at least hun
dred years trial. or opportunity to
make progress In the way of right
eousness, shall be destroyed as ''the
natural brute beast made to 'be taken
and destroyed" QI Peter. ii, 12). See
Isaiah lxv, 20, where it is stated that
all shall live to at least hundred
years of age, and those dying at that
age would be as infants to those who
will come into harmony with the Lord
and live to the end Of the thousand
years Of Christ's reign.
GA certain minister defined "heIl" l
as "a place of separation from God"
How can we harmonize this with the
statement in Psalm cxxxix, 2, 8.
Whittier shall go from thy spirit? |
Dr. whittier shall flee from thy pres
'nce? If ascend up into heaven, Thou
,rt there; or il MAKE MY BED IN
HE'LL, behold. thou art there" (T.
R. C.)
Answer.-Many ministers are weak
nd illogical in dealing with Scriptural
natters. They seem to feel at liberty
o guess what they please respecting
eaven, hell. and purgatory, and some
fleet to be offended if their wisdom
n these subjects is questioned and the
roof or evidence is requested. No
linister has a right to tell of fire-proof
evils and a burning hell and purga-
Try, because the Bible teaches nothing
the kind Neither has any minister
le right TO say that hell is merely a
sparation from God. as a smoking
'om is separated from parlor. Why2 |
ecause there is no Scripture to this
feet If all ministers would tell the |
nth, would tell just what the Bible
Iys on the subject Of hell, then their
would all agree. The text
