The Pastors Thanksgiving.
On Thursday last, when my heart
vent out to God in special thanksgiv.
ing for all the mercieso OF life. ! gave
Him special thanks TINT gradually the
eyes Of my understanding are opening.
enabling me to see Him in the glorious
light Of His great, loving Plan of Sal.
walton for the church and for the
world My thanks for oil temporal
mercies and blessings were dwArfed
as the anthem of my soul went Hp.
and 1 repeated the text Of today, Holy.
holy, holy. Lord Of Hosts!"
All! 1t is a blessed thought that God
has already made provision that Mes
! slabs Kingdom shall be established;
that satan shall be bound and shall
deceive men no more; and that. instead
| Of the darkness Of Ignorance and super
stitlon, the glorious light Of Gods
goodness shall shine forth. causing the
earth to be filled with His praises!
With great patience God has permit
ted Els plans and His character to be
mIsrcmesented and traduced. Yet we
can see wisdom In this; for even
tually, when all the blind eyes shall be
opened and all the deaf ears shall be
unstopped, when all the delusions Of the
past-the hobgoblins Of seducing spirits
| ond tlc doctrines Of dGvils-shall have
gone, the Lords precious character
and loving provision for our fallen race
will stand forth in glorious radiance.
The pastor showed, evidently to
tbe satisfaction of many of his hear
ers that there are two heavens.
~ The heaven for SANITY Chris
t,an Catholics and Protestants-the
spiritual condition to which the
church will be changed at resurrec-
ton At christs second coming:
2 The heaven for all Of the
world who during Chrtst's millental
Einedom will renounce sin and come
into full. fellowship with God. For
them an earthly paradise VIII De
prepared. That is to say the earth
as Gods footstool will become a
! worldwide perfect Eden.
Two Hells IF the. Bible. :,
The pastor showed that the worn
! for hall in the Hebrew Old Tesla
ment Is sheol, and its equivalent IN
the New Testament Greek Is hades'
These words the pastor showed real
Nv refer to the tomb and are trans
lated grave" more times than
! help in our common version Bible
He showed that the grace is to DC D.,
abolished by the. resurrection OF all
1.-The dead. Thus the Bible, declares
that hell shoel, hades will be destroy
ed. 49,, :.
The other hell Of the Bible is
| Gehenpa-the valley of Hinnom
outside the walls OF Jerusalem. the
Jews cast the vilest criminal there
with dead cats and dogs, etc., after
| death-to illustrate that for such
there is no future life, no resurrec'
ton. Jesus used Gehenna as a hg'
ure to illustrate the other destrnc'
tion Of the second death for all the
incorrigible.
The Bible Purgatory.
For the church the experiences o.
the present life are purgatorlal
Their fiery trials of faith and oOeo,
fence purify them from the doors o.
tho old nature.
! For the world there is future
I'uurgatory. IT will last 1000 years
and burn out (symbOlically) all the
/ roots of sin from the willing anc
obedient during Messiah's kingdom
Those who refuse to be thus puri'
fed will die the second death-ut'
| Ter destruction. Those who RESPOND
to the stripes and experiences o.
that time will step by step attain
human perfection in the earthly
naradIse and gain everlasting life
Instead of the rewards and pun
isbmcnts of this purgatory coming
from demons they will come from
Christ and his church. then glori'
fed. We merely give an outline
The pastor supported his proportions
with many scripture prayers.
