W. HORACE 5uNDY LECTURES
ON HELL AND TELLS WHERE
a TO BUY SERMONS.

Who Created Hell?" This unusual
subject drew a crowded house to the
Browne to hear the celebrated lee
tureE MI. W. Horace Bundy, of San
Francisco, last night. Results showed
that the audience was not disappoint-
ed. Listening with attention. the
audience heard a most unusual relig-
ious lecture. The speaker inter
sperced his lecture with musical
numbers of vocal and instrumental
selection, and proved himself to be a
musician of rare talent as well as a
speaker Of unusual ability. Humor-
GUS anecdotes and personal exper
fences Of the speaker enhanced the
interest In the lecture. Altogether
a most profitable evening was spent
What is He'll? This was the first
question considered. The speaker
endeavored to show from the Scrip
lures that hell designated the grave
or death condition. This, said Mr.
Bundy, signifies sleep, not torture.
He called attention to he fact that
the creeds and dogmas of the Dark
Ages had given humanity a most aw.
full conception of the Almighty. He
Illustrated how the heathen idea of
a supreme being was really superior
to that held by many Christians in
the past of Cod He noted illustra-
tions and parallels from the Bible
to show that destruction was the fin.
alSportion of the wicked.
Who go There? The speaker cited
numerous texts from the Bible to sup
port the thought that because of
Adams disobedience all were con.
demned, He said the death of in
fants and those irresponsible clearly
proved this thought. He showed that
the condemnation was universal
not one had escaped. All come into
the world tainted by sin, and subject
to the weaknesses of the fallen
flesh. This arrangement made pos
sible ransom by one for all. This,
said Mr.. Bundy, was precisely the
divine arrangement in sending the
Son-of God to earth to die, not mere
ly for few, but for all.
viii They Ever Get Out? Through
the work Of Calvary provision was
made for the complete release of hu-
manity from hell, the tomb. Christ
has the keys of he'll, and while He
first came to redeem the world. He
returns to restore il The interim,
said the speaker, is for the prepare
tion and development of a church, to
share the glory Of the Lord, and with
Him at His return to bless all human
kind. Our Lords return, therefore,
is to take people out Of hell instead
of sending them there. Restitution
is the blessing awaiting humanity, in
the glorious kingdom to be establish
ed at Messiah's coming, when Jew
and GENTLE alike shan share the fav-
ors purchased for them at Calvary.
All who will may then have eternal
life on a perfected earth. Those who
refuse, with Satan, shall be destroyed
in the Second death. Then the uni
