HELL! 7!
A Highly interesting Article From the
Pen of Recognized Genius
In Oratory.
An Unanswerable Conclusion Reached
BY This Splendid Young
Thinker.
(By vERMILLION A. d. MURRAY, Jr
Esq, 1900 Woodland Ave, City,

have carefully noted with consider
able interest the various discussions
of late concerning HE'LL. And with
everything else considered this subject
has occupied my most serious atten-
tion for some time. Chiefly among the
discussions of this subject was SER
mon delivered recently Q was in
formed) by a certain preacher, who
declared that He'll is q place Of eter-
nal torment-the destination of all
sinners. There is nothing that as
tonishes me more than to hear a
preacher in the light and moral de-
velopment of this day preach this old
Papal doctrine. oh, what great SER
mon that was! Equally astonishing,
is the belief that He'll is a myth; or
that it is the life we live on earth.
However limited is the knowledge of
those who have commented upon the
subject (HELL) 1 am persuaded and
must admit with shame, that the doc
trines subscribed to by all respecting
He'll are most absurd, barbarous and
unjust.
The very idea of man making such
a public declaration that hell is a
lake of fire and birthstone. The advo-
Gator of such a doctrine may search
the Bible from Genesis to Revelations
but he will find absolutely nothing
that will offer the slightest support
to the doctrine that there is literally
burning hell or that eternal torment
3 is the penalty for sin. Just little rea.
son itself will not support such a mis-.
leading doctrine.

cess in your new field of labor. | as

of Georgia for your success. Now as
to those who would lay upon you the

certainly misrepresent you. l have
known you almost to say from your
beginning and have never known you
to bear that name. You have been
pastoring for seventeen years to my
knowledge and do not know the time
when you were without church. And
during the time you have been in the
ministry you have pastored some of
the best churches in Georgia and when
you left the state to go West, you
left one of our high class churches.
Now those who say the mean things
about you that have heard surely DO
not know the truth about you or they
desire to gore your. Now If you want
more evidence of your standing as a
minister in our state let us know. We
have convention behind us who will
say just what have already said.

a hot" or a burning hell" is mis-
leading to the extreme. What horri-
BILE doctrine! Where is the authority
for such a fiendish doctrine? | shall
very easily make the reply. The vari-
GUS church creeds and confessions and
hymn books and theological treatises
are its only supports.
Now then, must we deliberately re-
ject the holy and inspired word of
God and accept the unfounded doc
trines of the hymn-book and theologi-
cal teachers? No man with any de-
gree of Biblical intelligence would,
who is Jealous for the truth of Gods
word. AS a Bible student, who has
given this important subject most
profound and an elaborate study,
shall briefly present in detailed facts,
the Scriptural and only satisfactory
answer to the question. And if there
is anyone desiring to. challenge me
upon the subject in an open debate or
by press correspondence it is imma-
terial whether he be authorized Doc
tor of Divinity or one of the minds
gifted beyond ordinary nature; l shall
consider it a highly appreciated privi-
lege to meet him.
Irepeat that no man with intelligent
reason would for a moment contend
that Hell is an abode of the wicked
a place of eternal torment as is COM
monty believed by many. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that the Bible does not
teach such doctrine.
If the penalty against us had been
eternal torment our redemption from
it would have cost our Lord that prica.
He would have been obliged to suffer
eternal torment the just for unjust.
But eternal torment was not the PEN
atty; hence Jesus did not pay that
penalty for us. Death was the penalty
and hence "Christ died for our sins.
By the grace of God he tasted death
for every man. 1t can be very easily
noted, that the Bible explicitly de-
clares in simple language that-The
wages of sin is death-not eternal tor
ment. Why. then should we assume
that eternal torment is the wages Of
original sin when the Scriptures do
not teach it? oh how erroneous and
cruel has been the teaching of man.
How unreasonable is his point of view.
1t should be understood, that the
dctrine of everlasting torment was en-
grated upon the doctrines of the
Christian Church during the period of
the Apostacy, the great falling away
which eliminated in Papacy. Men
and women, according to sacred his
tory, were often slaughtered for think
ing contrary to the teachings of Pap
acy. At this age of the worlds history
the Sun of Gospel truth was obscure;
the word of God had fallen into dis
use and was prohibited to be read by
amy but the clergy, Christians were
compelled to deny their faith and their
beliefs.
At this particular time, as 1t Is now,
the doctrine of eternal torment as was
undoubtedly introduced by Papacy ter
rorized thousands but not at heart con
certtd. 1t swelled her numbers and
her wealth, diluted what little truth
was held before and mingled 1t with
their unholy sentiments and errors, 50
