every one of them-for all those who lived before His crucitiXion. and for all born since-fCr white and black. old and young-of every nation. Because of this general redemption, coextensive with the curse. or sentence Of death. there is to be a recovery from the curse of death. All mankind are thus to be made amenable to release from the death penalty-to have the oppor- tunity of a resurrection out of sin and death conditions back to perfect life conditions. Only those who wilfully and intelligently reject this grace of God will die the Second Death-be plotted out as though they had never been-perish like natural brute beasts. 2 Peter PIP.
 From this standpoint we see that no body is saved yet All-bOth infants and adults. heather and Christians go to Sheol. Hades, the tomb. the state of death. All are said to sleep in Sheol, Hades. the tomb, until the glori- ous Morning of the New Dispensation. Messiah's Kingdom of glory. Then the Church will constitute the First Res urrection class. to Heavenly glories and honors and Divine nature. Following this, the Church with her Lord will reign as kings and priests. for the blessing of the entire human family. of all ages, nationalities and colors.
 In other words, according to the Bi- ble none have gone to Heaven. As into Heaven" John 3:13.D Hence there are no infants in Heaven. All infants who have died have gone to the Bible hell. the tomb, and know not anything" They merely await the time when the Kingdom shall be In power. and the awakening processes shall begin to operate; and they shall come forth from death-each in his own band. or company.-l Corinthians l5:23: John 5:28. 29.
 Hope For All Children.
 There is another theological theory. which has no Scriptural foundation. but which claims that every infant is immortal, and that the present life. long or short. favorable or unfavora- ble constitutes the only opportunity ever to be enjoyed for reforming char acter and becoming fit for happy eternity. Hence. according to this un scriptural theory, the children of unbe- lievers-conceived and born in sin and depra witty as are all mankind more or Iess-are unprepared for an eternity of bliss. and consequently must spend that eternity in pain and horror.
 But let us rid the mind of this false theory, and go by Scripture alone. As the Word of God declares. God only hath immortality" Therefore no in fants are immortal. When God said '.The soul that sinneth it shall die. " He meant 1t. When He declared. All the wicked will l destroy" He meant it. The penalty upon Adam and his race Is death: and therefore children and all others die because of Adam s sin. The worst that can befall the children of unbelievers would be death What. then. Is the Scripturai hope | for the children of unbelievers? It Is exactly the same as for the children of saints: namely. that Christ Jesus oui | Lord tasted death for every man when | He tasted death for Adam; for all are under Adams sentence of cOndemna 1 ton to death One mans sin brought l the death penalty upon all: therefore | the one mans Ransom was the Ran som for all The children of unbeliev- CTS were redeemed in the most abso Iute sense from the entire cOndemna ton of death. Indeed. none but sin uers were redeemed Christ died fOl the ungodly." All are ungodly: all are 1 sinners. Hence. all die: and all need | to be redeemed. else they would have l no hope of resurrection.
 In the Messianic Kingdom, the Res
 urrection Age. children of believers | will have a little advantage over the children of unbelievers. in that they l will have less depraved organisms
 when awakened But under the grand 1 resurrection processes then at work
 such disadvantages will soon be over | tOUlc. All W nO dlS WilIhS ohN ODSNA
 ent shall be brought to a full knowl | edge of the Truth and full oppOrtuni ties for complete Restitution, back tC
 all that was lost in Adam, for him
 self and his pOsterity In that day
 it will no more be said. ''The fathers
 have eaten sour grape. and the chil-
 dren's teeth are set oa edge" Every
 one shall die for his own iniquity. "rhe soul that sinneth 1t shaii die. "- | Jeremiah 3l 20. 30; Ezekiel 1924
 How reasonable are the ways of
 God. How plainly are they stated 1n
 the Word. Those who have the eye | and the ear of faith. who are hearken-
 ing to the Word of the living God
 rather than to the dead creeds of the
 Dark Ages have a joy and peace or
 mind which is source of strength
 unknown to others.
