REPLY TO "AUNT
BELLS" FAREWELL

as follows:

as she says, l only say proved the
statements to which l replied TO DC

out thinking of me, to say the least OF

Q. No, never assigned her to hell
as she falsely says l did, but only
proved by the Scriptures that she and
her beloved "Uncle Tom" were on
that road, and that both will soon be
there, without a great change occurs

3. To cap the climax, Aunt
Belle" or the "feller" who wrote for
her, now writes a bigger lie on me
than ever, a regular Russellite lie'
composed of seven lies in one, for OF
me she SAYS: "Of course if he( II is
a Greek scholar, he ~ knows that
hell is the English for hades and sim
ply means the state of death, the curse
that the whole human race is under, =
to which I reply, in seven denials as
follows:
/, l, Blalock, don't know any such
things as "Aunt Belle asserts l do,
but rather to the contrary, and l am
Greek scholar enough to know there
are seven lies in her statement, one or
which is this one.
2. By this statement, written, no
doubt, by worse Russellite than she
is, "Aunt Belle" is made to assume
that she, herself, knows Greek. which
is "whopper, for we all know she
don't, for how else could she know
that know it means what she says,
only by knowing Greek helselfH She
could know it in no other way. This
assertion of her is sure "whopper'
from that standpoint.
3 The word hell occurs 30 times in
the English Bible and only 10 times
was it so translated from "hades. "
4. Gehenna is translated hell II
times.
S. Sheol is rendered hell 81 times,
and Webster defines it thus: "The
place Of departed spirits, hades," and
so "Aunt Bellies" Russellite "home-
made" definition won't at all do.
s. The Greek word Tartaros is also
rendered hell in 2. Pet 2, and Web
ster defines it thus: "Tartarus. n.
The name of the internal regions, ov-
or which Pluto, or Hsdes, ruled" and
now "Belle" is wrong again

In order to find out what hell really
means we have to ascel tain what all
three of these Greek words mean, and
neither of them means what Russell
