and all of their God-dishonoring

and all OF their Notwithstanding
crew.
In this age Of the world our
towns and cities are lighted by
electricity, but according to Rev.
Samuel Hopkins, D. D., the bles-
sed city Of the redeemed is going
to be lighted by the flames Of
hell. Our modern towns are
pretty bad, but they are q cred
it to such a heaven as that. Ii
[ believed that heaven was 60
ing to be that sort of a place [
certainly would not want to go
there.
But somebody will say, ooh
them ducks belonged to a past
generation. Nobody believes or
teaches that kind Of stuff these
days."
Sure enough, they don't say
it in exactly that language now.
They have to tone it down o lit
tie and rub off some Of the sharp
corners. But still the accepted
theology is based on the iden-
teal same old errors and leads
to the same unreasonable end.
II we are getting intelligent
enough to modify and tone down
cur theological mistakes, why
can't we be intelligent enough
to discard them altogether? In
stead of cutting off the devils
tail a little at a time, why not
whack it off right behind the
ears and throw the whole blamed
thing away?

they don't get the rest Of it.
And [ think they will before
long. The trouble with them is,
that they still have some of the
strings Of old Babylon tied to
them. Hurry up, you Adven-
fist friends, and cut loose from
old Babylon and come out into
the glorious light Of the Whole
Truth.

A SERMON TO THE AD-
VENTISTS.

I have a large number of Ad-
%ventists on my list, and many
of them are among my best
friends and club-raises. They
are all mighty good people, and
[ don't like to disagree with
them, but I must try to stick
to the truth as [ see it, regard
less Of who it pleases OF dis
pleases.
The Adventists have got some
Of the great vital truths down
pat. They are everlastingly
right on the Immortality Of the
Soul, Eternal Torment, and all
that. They have got a sort of
halfway view of the paradise
on earth, but haven't caught on
to the gradual steps by which
it will be established. They
think it will all be done very
suddenly when Jesus comes
changed from a wicked world
to a paradise in one night, as
it we're.
They think that nobody can
be saved after Jesus comes,
losing sight Of the fact that the
very object and purpose Of the
Messianic Kingdom is to con-
vert and save the world.
The Adventists do not at all
understand the position of the
Jew in the divine plan. They
have always taught that the Jew
was permanently cast off and
would never be taken back into
Gods favor any more. But
am glad to see that some OF
their leaders are coming around
to the truth here Of late. When
they get the Jew properly placed
in the scheme of things and learT
how to interpret the events that
are happening right before oul
eyes every day, they will Their
be in a positio. TO make prog
Iress.
The Adventists have SO much
! of the truth that it is a pity

THE DOCTORS" DISAGREE

N11ClC O11O vi O1AOOOA PS0P4S
claim to believe in a hell of end
less torment are utterly unable
to agree among themselves as
to what sort of hell they actual
ly do believe in. One has it a
lake of fire, another has it a fur
mace, and still others say it isn't
literal fire at all, but some sort
of a spiritual fire that hurts just
as bad.
But I am going to give you in
this article a few extracts from
the recognized writings Of some
of the old-fashioned hell-fire
preachers of the past. My OBJ
ject in doing this is to show you
to what ridiculous extremes they
went, and how utterly unreason-
able and even blasphemous their
so-called theology appears in the
light of common sense.
The Rev. Jonathan Edwards
was one Of the very biggest Of
the "hell-fre" preachers Of his
day. And his writings are still
read and believed in by a great
many of the theologically blind
of our own time. In the second
volume of Sermons" by Jona-
than Edwards we find the follow
ing:
"Those wicked men who died many
years ago, their souls went to hell,
and there they are still. Those who
went to hell in former ages of the
world have been in hell ever since,
all the while suffering torment.
They have nothing else to spend their
time in there but to suffer torment.
They are kept in being for no other
purpose"
Then here is another terrible
picture of hell taken from the
writings of the Rev. Isaac Am
brose: :::.:s#.:...
= 'SThe damned shall be packed like
brick in a kiln, and be so bound that
they cannot move a limb, nor ever
an eye-lid; and while thus fixed, the
Almighty shall blow the fires of hell
through them forever"
Some people claim that the
devil is the proprietor OF hell and
that he is the one who will chunk
up the fires ard pile on the brim'
stone and see to it that the
wicked get properly roasted. Blu
Preacher Ambrose says the AL
mighty God is going to do j
Himself. The plain Inference is
that God will leave heaven il
charge Of the pope or some othe1
deputy-God, while He goes dow
and gives His personal attentioi
to the other place. Could bias
phemy 60. further? Note care
fully and remember that tn
above-Quoted ''authority" say
the wicked will be packed int
hell like bricks in a kiln, and Wi
not even have room to move
limb nor bat an eye. And the.
look at this next picture, whic.
is found in the seventh volum
Of Sermons" by the Rev. Jor
athan Edwards:
'The world will probably be cor
verted into a great lake or liqui
globe Of fre-a vast ocean Of fire. i
which the wicked shall be owe
whelmed, which will always be i
tempest in which they will be tosse
The fool-killer., 1920-09-01

not agree at all with Rev. Am
brose's statement that they can
not even move an eye-lid. Now,
if these two great preachers
can't get any nearer together
than that, what right have we
to believe either one Of them?
For my part I simply don't. They
didn't either one know any more
about it than a toad frog knows
about arithmetic.
Next we will hear the testimo-
ny Of the Rev. William David
son, another Of the highly res
pectable orthodox preachers of
the past. He says:
Upon such an assembly las the lost
in heH) God cannot look but with ut
| ter detestation. His face shall be red
in His anger, His eyes shall not pity,
nor His soul spare for their crying.
The day of vengeance is in His heart.
It is what His heart is set upon. He
will delight in it."
IF that isn't doubled-and-
twisted blasphemy [ don't know
what to call it. Actually cilarg-
ing God with being more of a
beast than the old heather Ro-
mans were when they used to
watch the bulls and Ions tear
the people to pieces.
One would naturally think
that the limit Of biasphemy and
unreasonableress~ had already
been reached. But 10, that is
Mt the worst yet. The following
quotation is taken from pages
457 and 458 of the "Works. of
Samuel Hopkins" and I think
you will all agree with me that
Sam is entitled to the prize for
pure unredeemable sacriloge in
its most hopeless form. Listen
"Tl1e smoke Of their torment shall
ascend up in the sight of the blessed
forever and serve as most clear
glass always before their eyes, to give
them a constant, bright and most af-
fecting view. This display of the di-
vine character and glory will be ir
favor of the redeemed, and most en-
tertaining, and give the highest pleas.
ure to those who love God, and raise
their happiness to ineffable heights
Should this eternal punisnmone ane
this fire be extinguislled, it would il
a great measure obscure the fight O.
heaven, and put an end % a grea
part Of the happiness and glory O.
the blessed"
Go back and read that again
Read it slowly, carefully, and le
il soak in. Here we have on
l of the greatest preachers O
America solemnly stating it a.
! his honest opinion that the tor
ment Of the wicked Throughout
eternity will constitute the en-
tertainment of the righteous
; and that It is the fires of bel
; which will furnish the light 70
, heaven and that if hell wer
l brought to an end, heaven woul
be in darkness.
