THE WORD HELL
A Little Book That Contains Some
Startling Information.

A little book selling at only five cents.
postpaid, is having a very wide circula-
tion-running up into the millions. 1t con-
tains some very startling information re-
specting the meaning of the word Hell. It
claims to demonstrate, both from the He
brew and the Greek of our Bible that
He'll Is not a place OF eternal torment.
but merely another name for the Tomb.
the Grave. the State OF Death. 1t affects
to show that man was not redeemed from
far-off place OF eternal torture, but
quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost Of
his Redeemers Life and that the Scrip
tural Hope. both for the Church and the
World, is a resurrection hope based upon
the death and resurrection of Jesus. The
book is certainly worth the reading. The
information 1t furnishes is certainly val
uable far beyond it's trifiing cost. Order
