Future Punishment.

To the Editor of The Richmond virginian
sir--1n the effort to support the theory
that there is no such thing as eternal punish
ment. certain wise ~ persons, who prtn-
ters ink freely construe in the Bible
bearing on the future life as not teaching
the existence Of hell, or future punishmen
While the best thinking people will not accept
distorted views Of Scripture there other
of limited opportunities, who ought 20 be
warned against this dangerous teaching In
this article II is not mN~purpose to use those
Ribe verses bearing directly future punish
ment, but ! viii for the present few
plain. clear and strong words Of our Lord as
follows Matt. Z; ~, ~. "A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit Every tree that bring
eth not forth good fruit is hewn down and
cast into thr fire. Every intelligent person
Knows that the language here used is of course
fguratve, but this fact does not in the least
diminish the force and meaning of Lords
words What do the phrases good tree.'

mean? A school boy can answer the questions
a eood tree represents good person. cor
rupt tree bad one and evil fruit means bad
deeds and good fruit good deeds.
In the 18th chapter 18th verse Jesus SAYS
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down and cast into the fire" In st

Wicked people are as worthless bad trees
or worthless branches. Talk about giving bad
people another chance after death, If such folks
had a thousand chances to do better. haven't
the slightest proof from any source that they
would improve the opportunity. Do
pect our Heavenly Father EXHIBIT less wis

than farmers show in the management Of
their temporal affairs? Our Lords meaning is
clearly that the wicked like the had tree and

proper places This doesn't mean that the
wicked will be annihiated for even matter is
not totally destroyed, much less immortal

John Barrett for
Enlarging Principle
OF Monroe Doctrine

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.--The evo-
luton of the Monroe doctrine into a
n-American policy. approved by all
the American republics, was the plan
advocated here by John Barrett, di-
rector general Of the American
Union, before the American Academy Of
Political and Social Science.
Mr.. Barrett said that the idea which
generally prevails that the United States
is sort of paternal guardian over the
small LatinAmerican republics, is
wrong in principle
THE Pan-American policy would en-
large the original Monroe doctrine into
an AN American policy where each ma
ton would have the same rights Of at
titude, dignity and independence as the
United States now has, he declared.
