Hope For Al Children.
There IS another theological theory
which has no Scriptuml foundation
/ but which claims that every infant is
immortal, and that the present life
long or short favorable or unfayora
bic, constitutes the only opportunity
ever to be enjoyed for reforming char
acter and becoming fit for happy
eternity Hence, according TO this un
tcriptual theory, the children Of unbe
lleyers conceived md born IN sin and
dcpruyity as are al mankind more or
less-are unproparCd for an eternity Of
bliss, and consequently must spend
that eternity in pain and horror.
But let MS rid the mind Of this false
theory, and 20 by Scripture alone. As
the Word of God declares God only
hath Immortality Therefore no in
fants are immortal When God said
"rhe soul that s;lneth 1t shall die,
He meant it. When He declared, IAN
the wicked will destroy" He meant
it, The penalty upon Adam and his
race is death and therefore children
and all others die because of Adams
sin. The worst that can befall the
children Of unbelieyerS would be death.
What then, Is the Scriptural hope
for the children Of unbcievers? 1t is
exactly the same as for the children of
saints: namely. that Christ Jesus our
Lord tasted death for every man when
He tasted dealh for Adam; for all are

Notice Our Text Again.
The Apostle clearly distinguishes be
tween the children of believers and the
children Of uubclicvers His argument
Is that the children Of unbelevers are
without any relationship TO God, and
without any supervision from Hlm
while the children of believers, because
OF parental relationship. are subjects Of
Divine supervision and care. For these
