Eternal Torment
BEYOND THE GRAVE

duty-duty to you-duty to 0od-im-
presses me thus to speak.
Il cannot help but feel that this
generation is far from its proper esti-
mate of the Word Of God on this dark
er side Of human possibility. The time
has never come when the word Be
ware" could be safely eliminated.
How often the blessed Christ Him
self found need to utter this word Of
warning, 'Beware!'
The evangelist quoted q number OF
texts of Scripture to illustrate this
point. In concluding these citations
he re-told in modern language the
story of Dives and Lazarus from which
his text was drawn.
What is the teaching Of the Word
OF God in regard to the future destiny
of the unsaved?
Innocent Often Suffer.
"The fact that there is q future
punishment for the wicked needs hard
ly to be considered here, since all re-
ligious writer's and teachers who ac-
cept the Bible as divine revelation-as
the Word of God-are agreed as to its
reality.
"The fact is that the innocent often
suffer with the guilty and often more
must be compensation for the in
equality in another world.
ION the authority of Gods Word I
declare without fear Of successful con-
tradiction that the doctrine of Eter-
nal Punishment is an eternal fact.
After this life there comes death /;
and after death the Judgment and aft
er that, eternal happiness for the re-
deemed and eternal misery for the
lost. This life is but the probationary
life of the one which is to come. AS
the tree falleth so it neth.' The char
acter of man here will be his charac-
ter in eternity. Whatsoever a man
soweth, that will he also reap. There
is no pardon, no forgiveness or saliva
ton within the door. Rejecting Christ
here-LOST FOREVER!'
"The eternity of the unsaved will
be one of bitter memory and cease
less remorse. I venture to say there
are those here tonight who would give
every dollar they have, every inch of
property they possess, If they could
only turn the dial back past a certain
period of life or blot out the memory
of some awful wrong"
Why People Suicide.
ETERNITY to the unsaved will be a
my eyesight and grope my way
through darkness to the tomb, than
be compelled to pass through this life
with head bowed beneath the awful
agony of shame
Eternity to the unsaved will be
a place without hope. What is life
| without hope? Why does that man
i take that revolver and send a bullet
crashing through his brain? Why so
| many suicides? l will tell you! Hope
has died in the breast and when hope
dies, people suicide.
YES" cried the evangelist, there
| are men so low down and so contempt
ible they are willing to support wife
| and babies out of the blood of the men
and boys of town!
Thirty-Seven Respond.
Tonight | hold aloft for you a par
| don, pardon for one and all. A free,
full, perfect pardon. 1t is a blood
bought pardon. Accept the pardon
and be saved"
peal.
Some people," he burst out, "are
mighty shallow. A woman in this
town wrote an article not long ago in
/ reply to preacher here. He had con.
demned the actors and she replied by
pointing to preacher or two who had
committed murder. Say! Any fellow
with an ounce of sense would know
this to be mighty shallow argument
The moment DeWolf Hopper and Nat
Goodwin committed their sins they
went back to the stage and people
went to see them as usual but the
moment those preachers committed
crime they ceased to be preachers.
The church disowned them"
