iii. And death does not bein
with the jjrave always. Thete is
a. death in life, when the finer
powers and fori es are subverted
to ignoble uses and no longer as-
sert themselves. Moral decay is
death. The process is only con
tinued after the dissolution ol
the physical being and the kind
of hell a soul makes foritselfhere
is enlarged mid made more ut
tei ly hopeless beyond the char
lial house of the body. "A hell
that bui 11s f.aever?'' Yes it burns
and tortures and consume and
dstroys without even m iking
destruction complete. And t lie?
Ha mes are something lighted in
this world; to what extent they
may go is another, only the All-'
knowing may know.
"(u to iiell v lieu I die?" a fine
young fellow once said to me.
Whv man, I've b en in secret hell,
with raging tires of hot despair
for ten years or more. The best
part of nie is already dead. 1
fear that there is no resurrection
for the good and pure in me. 1
may suffer more in some future
state. I ought to and doubtless
will, but mv mind cannot con
ceive of a more tort tiring punish
ment than that which already
has me in its grasp."
And as I saw the lines of weak
ness about his once superb face,
the scars which his own cruelty
to himself had left upon him; the
indecision and I he fear and the
doubt that hud taken the place
of the early straight gh am in his
eye; the very cringing of his soul
I was horribly sure! hat he was
right. II only remains to put on
the liaising touches that never
finish; to meet the flames with a
little more des air; to give the
spirit a little more of the realiza
tion of supreme def. al and deso
lation, a consciousness of final
separation from the things that
are lovely and of good repot t,
from the All-pervading Life and
Eight to which instinctively
turns and the work is done, or
rather just fairly begun.
Is it not he!l?The literal bla
zing tire may be there; we do not
know, and it is not necessary for
us to know, but it is hell!
