lived before His crucIhxion, and for ali
. born. since for white and black. Old
and young-of every nation. Because
of-this general redemption, cosxtensiye
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 a release from
. the death pepalty-to have the oppor.
tunity OF 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
blotted out as though they had never
| been-perish like natural brute beasts.
- Peter PIP.
From this standpoint We see that no.
body is saved yet All-both infants
aud 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 glorl.
Gus Morning OF the New Dispensation.
Nessiah's Kingdom OF glory. Then the
Church will constitute the First Res.
direction class, to Heavenly glories and
haRors and Divine nature. Following
this. the Church with her Lord will
reign ms kings and priests, for the
blessing Of the. entire human family,
OF all ages, nationallties and colors.
In other words, according to the Bi.
bic none have gone TO Heaven. As
Jesus said, NO man bath assembled
Into Heaven" John 3:l3J Hence
there are no infants In Heaven. All
infants who have died have gone to
tue 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.-1 Corinthians
1873; John 5:2s, 20.

There is another theological theory.
which has no .scriptural foundation.
but which cfaims 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 at for happy
eternity. Hence. according to this IN.
scriptural theory, the children OF unbe-
lievers-conceived and born in sin and
depraYity as are all mankind. more or
less-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.
tants are immortal. When God said
1.-The soul that sinneth it shall de-"
He meant 1t. When He declared. "All
the wicked will destroy" He meant
1t 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 unbelievers would be death.

for the children OF unbellevers? 1t is
exactfy the same us for the children OF
saints; namely, that Christ Jesus our
Lord tasted death for every man when
He TASTED death for Adam: for all are
under Adams sentence Of cOndemna-
ton to death. One mans sin brought
the death penalty upon all; therefore
the one mans Ransom WINS the Ran
som for all. The children OF unbeliey-
ers were redeemed In the most abso.
lutte sense from the entire cOndemna-
ton OF death. Indeed. none but sin
ners were redeemed. Christ died for
the ungodly.' All are ungodly; I'LL are
sinners. Hence, all die: and all need
to be redeemed. else they would have
no hope Of resurrection.
In the MessianIc Kingdom, the Res.
direction Age. children Of believers
will have little advantage over the
children Of unbelievers. In that they
will have less deprayed organisms
when awakened. But under the grand
resurrection processes then ut work.
such disadvantages will soon be over
come. All who are willing and obedi.
ent shall be brought to n full knowl-
edge OF the Truth and full opportuni.
ties for complete Restitution, back to
all that was lost in Adam, for him
self and his posterlty. In that day
1t will no more be said, "The fathers
have eaten sour grape, and the chill.
dren's teeth are set on edge" Every
one shall die for his own iniquity.''
