IA Local Preacher
Talks On He'll


tional church to q large audience.
|s-let Sunday morning:
Matt. 25-46. And these shall go
away INTO eternal punishment = That
is Hell. And The righteous into:
eternal life.s That is Heaven.
People don't like to hear about Hell.
1t is terrible subject, and we see
SO much Of 1t through the week. But
as long as souls are being lost to it
some of them cur loved ones and our
own, we must warn even though they
object. II we warned more faithfully
there wouldn't beSso much hell thru
the week. AS we love We must warn.
A man approaches q precipice in the
darkness, you tell him to stop or he
will be dashed to death. He answers
back, Don't talk to me that way, I
don't like to hear Of being dashed to
pieces and death, it is terrible sub
iect.a But, as you love that man, you
must continue to warn.
The old warning OF hell-fre was
good. 1t restrained, held back from
the actual hell which is worse than
any words can picture. just as the
actual heaven is more glorious than
any of us can reveal now Today with
SO many tncre Use nothing to restrain,
to warn, to hold back Because they
do not believe in a literal hell-fire,
therefore they say there is no hell,
and proceed to move toward the ac-
tual hell, which does exist, and which
/ is worse than the worst torture we
can imagine or picture. Our opin-
ions do not change what exists. The
boatman on the Niagara River JUS:
above the falls may say there is no
falls, that everything looks alright
that it is just. a scare some people
have, but the falls are there, never
theless, and the result, as they go
over them will be the same whatever
their opinion.
But, says some nne, you have no
right to start with the major premise
that there is a He'll until you prove it.
Prove it. We want you to prove it.
We can't believe there is any devil or
any He'll. Prove it,, Oh! the trag-
edy Of a selfish life. proclaiming,
Prove it, and all time hoping it
cannot be done and upon that tiimsy
hope they hang their existence!
1t can be, and is proven every day.
| You say there is no devil. Will you
not admit that there is great deal
Of devilishness. Where does it come
from? God doesn't do it.
Any day you try to live an abs 10
lutely true, clean life you feel power
pulling you back. Where does ii
come from? God doesn't do it. Call
that power what you will, i call il
Satan, the devil. thorn by any
lother name will hurt just as much.
Is there He'll?
Listen We are immortal. Oul
souls tell us that better than words
All people have felt there is life
after this and have pictured theiI
different heavens The cry of human
4 ity has ever been, When man die
shall he live again?" and the sou
has ever answered, Yes If this
We're only an imagination it should

Grafton, but it never was stronger
/ than it is today The infidel may try
to smother it in earthly clay. but can
not. We are too large for this world
We have lowers of heart and min.
never meant for this world alone. We
feel it. We know it. Even the mos
successful life is not half complete
here. Any one who denies this mus
deny the inslstent fact of his inner b.
ling.
Scientifically nothing can be lost
mot a molecule, not an atom; they
can be changed but not lost. Is moi

mind, ego. soul, equally eternal!
Science, even cold, mater.of-fact
science must answer, Yes, we live
We cannot die"
Where do we go then when through
the valley of the shadow of death?
! Out of the worlds population there is
! an ever-moying column, four abreast,
stepping into the grave. four, four,
four, night and day, day and night,

erywhere. We know not when our
turn may be. Already we have bid
farewell to many. Where? Where?
| Well they don't all go to the same
place do they? Innocent lives aren't

are they? Thing OF those words IN
Revelation, He that is unrishteous,
