EvERYR0DY'S Bible BOX.

Q.-Where does the Bible state that
the Devil is now, ever was, or ever will
be in hell? ON. U. R.)
Answer.-The rather lurid ideas and
Devil as being the chief stoker of a
large and commodious furnace filled
with flames and birthstone into which
were cast the millions of the unre-
generated members of the human
race, are fading away before the en-
Tightening influences of this twentieth
century. There are still a few de-
luded souls who have not yet been
awakened from this awful nightmare
of the dark ages. May they soon be
aroused to appreciate the beauties or
the truth and rejoice in being deliv-
cred from the bonds of ignorance and
superstition. The Devil has never
been in hell; he is not there now, but
eventually he will so there. 1t will not
be hell of eternal torment but it will
b a hell of the Scriptures-death, de-
struction. Satan is to be destroyed.
(Hebrews ii, lad This place or con-
dition of destruction is represented in
symbol as the lake of fire and brim-
stone. (Revelation Xxx, IA, 15.)
Odd not the rainbow exist before
the flood, or was it some new thing
as Genesis tx, 1914, seems to suggest?
(Ham.)
Answer.-It is apparent from the
Scriptures that the climatic and the
atmospheric conditions existing in the
antideluvian times were different from
those which came into existence sub
sequently The waters which pro-
duced the flood had evidently been
held in suspension in the atmosphere
condi~on to prevail upon the earth.
Vegetation and animal life flourished
marVelously and the average length of
human life was eight or nine hundred

For, Lord since all is well with thee
| 1t cannot well be i'll with me-"
In that fair garden of delights there
vet stood a Thou shalt not" There
must ever be law where happiness is
to abide. Man needed for his devel-
opment, for the proving of his divine
attributes, the necessity for self-denial.
Even we can see the high wisdom
which placed in Eden a prohibition;
God rules by self-imposed law, and
man must learn that there are some
things which, by the exercise Of his
own volition he should refrain from do
ing. Every gilded youth who has
grown to manhood free from inhibi-
lions. and with all wishes gratifed, is
a commentary upon this truth. The
truth that might not be touched was
a necessary part of the furnishing Of
a perfect Garden of Eden.
Enter the Woman.
Neither man nor woman has yet
solved the woman question. Obvious
ly, the fact of woman created the
most difficult problem that man was
called upon to face. What should
be their relationship? How should
each conduct himself or herself to-
ward the other? Pressing present
perpleXIt1oS IlrSI appeared III the 1dT-
den of Eden.
Old Matthew Henry makes a wise
and timely comment upon the crea-
ton of woman. He says that she
was made out of the side of Adam;
Not made out of his head to rule
over him, nor out of his feet to be
trampled upon by him, but out of his
side to be equal with him, under his
arm to be protected, and near his
heart to be beloved"
Without woman man would never
come to his height. She has ever
evoked the manifest and divinest and
earthliest of his qualities. The bed
rock, creation fact about man and
woman, despite all problem novels
and modern vagaries, is that man and
woman are Indispensable to each 9TH
er. All the current notions about sep
arate careers for the two sexes do
violence to the Genesis story and to the
laws written in nature. We have not
yet improved upon Gods plan. He
means man and woman to go through
life together. The relationship which
he eSta blished in the Garden takes
e-eminence of all other claims and
ties, and is to endure despite all
storms. Society may change, and man
and woman may both play the fool,
but eventually they must return to
that primal sanctity-the husband and
wife cleaVing to each other through
all and in spite of all, joint inheri-
tors of a divine sovereignty.

became an article of diet Genesis tx,
