He declared Jesus Christ was not an
authority on the subject if Christ
was mistaken when He taught us
there is hell Fl. must have been
mistaken when He taught US about
heaven. If we accept Hin as author
ilty for one. we must accept Him as
authority for ta- other. This Uni
versdiist said: Paul never said
Ia word about hell or any Of the other
spostles. hui his statement con

Word Of Cod.
Paul said: The Lord Jesus shall
be revealed from heaven with His
mi ghty angels in flaming FIRE, taking
vengeance on them that know not
God, and that obey not the Gospel

and from the glory Of His power
want TO quote from John. the bas

'Jesus: Whosoever was not found
writtenin the Book Of Life was cast
into a lake OF fire. In his pastoral
sketches DR.. Tchabold Spencer tells
now he was called to see man IN
with Gods Word Stop posing to
know more about the future than
God There are multitudes who are
spending this life in trying to mako
disbelieve in hell. but be-
fore long they will awaken to the fact

from Heaven. Christ tells us there
is a great gulf between heaven and
hell and it is fixed. Fha saved in
heaven can never get in hell. The
.1pstin hell can never get into heaven
The gulf Is so wide no one can span
it. OF necessity there must he two
places in eternity. one for those who
love and serve Jesus Christ and who
hate sin. and a place for those who
reject Christ and love sin. Why do
people want to- go 10 heaven
when they die. Just 10 escape the
flames OF hell. Hell must be SO far
from the gates OF the Holy City THAI
the redeemed OF. God shall not hear
the walls and groans or the damned.
The third fact about hell Is, lit Is
"a place or wicked Inhabitants l
speculate about the inhabit-
ants Of hell. Christ tells lis who are
there. Fl says those whosare afraid
to take the stand for Jesus Christ.
Those who lack courage to let their
friends and others know about it and
those who are too cowardly to stand
MP for decency and purity are there.
He also says the unbclievers are
there. the abominable are there.
5murderers are there. those who have
stained theirfhands with human blood
and never repented those who have
died With hatred in their hearts:
whoremongers are there. Sorcorers
are the -. clairvoyants are there.
hypnotists are there and all liars
shall have their part in hell. Such
men are habitants OF hell. I can
not conceive OF anything that " ould
torture my soul so much as TO be
shutt,ip lnsnell with its Inhabitants:
II You have never associated much
with wicked. 7ustful. vile. corrupt
:peo pie who are the Very Tagshag Of
humanity, YOU will find them your.
companions in3#hell IL you reject
Jesus Christ.
The fourth fact is: He'll is =
place torment. t' Christ said 1T
lis place Of remorse. 1t is a place
OF despair. He has suggested to us
