phetic vision had described the con-
dition of the incorrigible sinners. He
called it lake of fire and birthstone
which is the second death Rev.
21:S. The symbolic lake of fire has
been falsely taught by creeds and in
connection with that blasphemous
doctrine of eternal torment which
was produced about the fifth cen
tury has bound the minds of the
Christians and of the race of sinners
and has kept them In ignorance and
superstition. Why should we expect
fruit on the old tree of false doctrine
which will soon be plucked by the
root and the tree of edffication plant
ed in its place? Notice we read by
the grace of God, Christ tasted death
for every man. Then why has it been
taught that when sinners die, the first
death that they goeth into this lake
of fire? All of the heathens that have
not heard the Gospel preached, has
not God provided a way for them?

and all Bible students that have come
to a knowledge of the truth will
agree on the subject. We will take
the Scripture for our guide. God will

l Timothy 2:4-6. The race of sinners
that has not accepted die and go in
to hell the invisible grave. The
bodies that they now possess will not
rise; they will be formed in terres-
trial bodies to hear their just decis-
ion; after coming forth from the
grave they will be permitted to live
600 years. Job tells the condition;
he said his flesh shall be fresher than
child's, Job 33:25-1; Cor. 15:37-9S-4O.
That he would return to the days of
his youth and If he does not accept
the right way, will be counted as in
corrigible and will be destroyed in
the second death. The prophet Isaiah
$500 gives us the key to the subject.
AS a child shall die a Goo years.
old and a sinner who dies 100 years
old shall be accursed. All will live
| 100 years. They will be formed in
terrestrial bodies to hear the ever
lasting Gospel. We will take the
(Revelation 14-6) Apostle John in his
prophetic vision. He spoke his words
with much weight. He said 81 saw
an angel fly in the midst Of heaven
having the everlasting Gospel tc
preach unto them that dwell on the
earth. The Saints then will be lift
