Editor News:
We have carefully read with pleas
ure the Highly instructive and valua
BILE articles written by Rev DR.. N
w Blalock in reply to "Aunt Bell
and as student of theology, find them
to be the work of master mind.
They are also scholarly written, logi
cally and prominently scriptural. His
assertions are backed by the scripturaI
proofs, which no living man can set
aside. To disbelieve them is to disbe-
lieve what the holy scriptures teach
concerning hell. Not to believe God S
word is to believe he has lied, which
is impossible for him to do because he
is not tempted with evil, therefore
can't lie. Jesus never Expressed a
belief in anything but spoke authori-
tatively as one who knew Jesus says
there is hell and he says 80 over and
over again. He tells us in unmistak-
able language that it is q place not
prepared for man but for the devil and
his angels Matt. 25:4t that it is a
place of torment, a realm where the
worm dieth not and the fire mot
gravel is not quenched (St. Mark o.
434D He never gave his opinion nor
speculated about it, but tells the truth
in no uncertain terms. Any man who
can't see from rea1ing the scripture
that there is burning hell is surely
inwardly binder than a mole. and is
lost infidel and skertic, and if his
brains were powder he doubtless
wouldn't have enough to blow the top
of bis head off God is the one law
giver who il able to save and to de-
stroy. His law would be Of no force
without penalty. It requires The
penalty to make the law forceful.
Something was said in recent is
sue of the News about Pastor Russell
being engaged in more profitable work
than debating. We wonder what IL is.
If he has ever been engaged in any
thing except leading the blind, we
have never been able to learn about
it. Debating with people on religious
subjects is very profitable and to say
it is not Is a reflection on Christ and
his apostles, for they were almost al
ways in contention with somebody
over some religious question. Paul at
Ephesus in Asia, disputed daily for
two years in the school of one Tyran-
nus, and it resulted in all Asia hear
ing the word of the Lord (Acts 1879
II and God wrought special miracles
by the hand of Paul which shows
God was with him and did approve of
his debating. Russellites and others
who think debating injurious to the
cause of Christ had better read the
Bible and go to one religious debate
to see how badly they are mistaken.
will Mr. Russell meet Rev. DR.
Blalock at Dunlap, Tenn, in debate,
or debate with him through the News
Certainly he will not, for his doctrine
Ia 80 rotten that he will not even at
tempt to defend it His doctrine is 30
and corrupt that he
cram a crumb of it down
throat. We have known
Blalock about % years and know him
to be q man Of ability and amply able
to demolish all of the false arguments
Of all the Russellites on earth. DR..
q. is q writer of ability as all can see
from his articles and as a bible
scholar his equal is not to be found !
In Tennessee. Some dislike him only |
because he is a man Of ability aud |
they can't palm off their false doc
trines on him. The doctor learned |
Iong ago to use gospel club when |
killing one Of the DEVILS skunks We |
Know him as he is, and have always |
'ound him to be strictly truthful, hon.
.st, upright, faithful to all his prom
ses, christian gentleman, all right
,veryway.
