God has seen fit not to tell us much on
this subject that we should like to know.
He has made it clear, however, that death
does : not meaav extioctiott. ' It is a-
' pointed tinto men once to die, but after this
the judtpnent," means that there is some
thing in man that survives physical dissolu
tion. Then we are told that the spirit re
turns to God who gave it; Christ committed
his spirit to the Father and assured the thief
that he should be with him that day in Par;
adise. . Stephen called upon the Lord to re
ceive his spirit, and Paul declared, just be
fore his death,' that it was far better to de
part and be with Chri&t, and said, moreover,
that for him to be absent from the body was
to be present with the LorcUJ I know: some
- trv tn ATnlain away Chrint's assurance to the
- thief by-what he said to Mary oa the mom-..
ing oi tne resurrection ; out it is eviaeui ue
meant - by this, that he had " not ascended
since his resurrection. That man is a spirit
is involved in the fact that he was made in
the image and likeness of God. The body,
all through the Scripture; is recognized as
only the temple in which the man dwells.
Then God declares that, he . is the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and that he is
not the God of tfead men but of the living,
and Jesus said of little children that their
angels do always worship before the face of
my Father in : heaven. Add to this these
facts i the friends and brethren of Peter
thought Rhoda had seen his spirit ; the ex
perience of millions of believers who have
seen their loved ones on the other shores as
their souls were leaving their bodies ; the
parabolical teachings of our Lord, and the
evidence is overwhelming. r It is, therefore,
apparent that all Scripture which refers to
dead men as silent and ignorant, speaks of
their bodies. Take, for example, "For there
is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the gratx whither thou e8t."
It may throw some light on this subject to
look at man from a Scripture standpoint
He is a dual being, namely, body and spirit
The soul is simply the life of this dual be
ing and refers to his animal or spiritual life,
and sometimes to both.
This leads us to the discussion of the next
'subjects . v ?n 1 '
, j r i-t i ( , BILL.
There is a disposition, just now, to blot
this place out , of God's universe, but the
tendency proves its existence. We not only
find it in revelation and in nature, but in
every human1 breast. There is something
deep down in each of our hearts that says,
If there is not a hell there ought to. be.'; If
Bin is a fact, then hell is a reality, for hell is
only sin run to seed. Our translators have
greatly mystified this subject.: There are
two words in the original, one referring pri
marily to the grave and secondarily to the
place of the departed, whether heaven or
hell, the other referring primarily to a place
outside of Jerusalem where the filth and
waste of the city was burned, ana seconaav
rfly to the unquenchable fire prepared for
the devil and his angels, j Some theologians
have, made much of the literal meanings of
these words, but to handle the word of God
ia this way is to destroy it, and, indeed, to
render all language meaningless, f It U like
taking an instrument to pieces to find the
music, and then swearing there is no music,
because . this , process does not reveal it
Some have asked, " Do yoa believe in a lit
eral fire t". Yes, or something worse, for If
fire is only a figure, God delivers from the
reality , Others askr; VDo we go to Our final
place of abode immediately, after, death!
Yes, so Jesua taught in the parable of,Pives
and Lazarus,-and in . his assurance tc-tbe
thief on the cross. Objectors ask, " Why.
tt, nnorot 4n1rmptnt t" 1 Because God
. wishes the assembled universe to see .that
he has been just in the condemnation of the
wicked and the justification of the righteous;
and standing there in our resurrected bodies,
we: shall be witnesses ;for or against our-,
selves according to the character, we carry,
out of this world. And it seems to me the
mosawful hell Uiatcpn ever horrify any soul
is to. stand here unwashed by ie;b o of
, Jesus.'. Once more, we are, asked,," la, the
banishment everlasting P k. Tes, because sin
Is continuous, and : evU men and seducers
wax worse and worse. ' Dives neither de
Sired nor promised to do any better, only
prayed for a1 little relief and did hot go to'
God for this, t He plead that Lazarus might
be permitted to do as much for him there as
he . bad done for Lazarus here.. . Abraham
reminded, h im that he was abiding by his
own Choice, and that the fixedness of that
choice was the hopelessness of his condition.
I We know as little here as other-where,
but what little we do know is exceedingly
fmscious, aye, a very heaven on earth, as
ittle as it is, we cannot tell it 'Words trem
bly and break down under the far more ex
ceeding and eternal weight of glox that
overwhelms us as we view from War the
third heaven where God resides that holy,
happy place, that glorious city whose builder
and maker is himself.. But it is not bo much
the place s the condition of its. inhabitants,
"Now are we the sons of God, and it doth
not yet appear what we shall be, but when
we shall see him we shall, be like him."
Then I have thought, or have tried to think,
of the ecstacy that will fill our souls when
we see Jesus. Words fail me here, for to
utter my soul would lift me into glory.
Some have never felt the joy of which we
speak, they neither hope to know the Sa
viour,, nor themselves, nor their loved ones
and friends in that world of bliss, for not to
know each other is not to know one's self or
the Saviour. - The long list of names, in
Scripture, and the register in heaven, are
meaningless unless we retain our identity
What ia the use of my going to heaven if I
am going to be something other , than my
self, knowing nobody and nobody knowing
met But,' the objector says, V how could
I be happy to know that my loved ones are
damned, or to know those I had wronged ?"
You do greatly err, my friend, not knowing
the Scriptures Our sins are blotted out, and
as to our loved ones who are lost, we see
them as God sees them. They have lost all
that we loved in them, are spiritual corpses
that are at once repulsive to themselves and
to us. This is why they call upon the rocks
and hills to fall upon them and bide them
from the presence of him who sitteth upon
his throne, and to whom all hearts are re
vealed.: 'If Christ can be happy who died
for , them, you need not be uneasy about
yourself. If Lis compassionate heart is not
troubled, you can rest assured about yours.
Bear in mind that a soul can never be
damned till it has rotted,' till it has lost all
of the image and likeness of God, and is of
its father the devil in his image and like
ness. To go to heaven means to be like
God, to go to hell means to be like the deviL
To, go to heaven you have to crucify , the
body, to go to hell you have to crucify the
soul whichmeans the loss of both body and
soul in unending agony.

Feeling in Eeligion.
. ; Feeling is of just as much use in religion
as steam is in an engine if it drives the en
gine, it is good; but if it does not, it is not
good for anything but to fizz and hiss and
buzz ; There are some people that seem to
be like yard engines, that never go any
where, but keep puffing and blotting and
hissing, and running up and down side
tracks, doing nothing,, going .nowhere.
Feeling in religion is of no value at all if it
does not propel us along the track of duty
toward our final destination God. Fine
feelings, glorious feelings-we all have them
after our measure: but fine feelings, quick
responsive sensibilities do you not know
that they have bean the occasion of the ruin
of some of the greatest geniuses that God
ever gave to the human racef Feeling is a
miserably cheap substitute, for duty. It
takes more than being happy on Sunday in
church to be religious. . v ' f
ii My friends, religion never stops short of
holiness., It means that, first ana last Ee
ligion does not stop at feeling: religion does
not stop at tradition, or at respectability, or
at eccleslasticism, or at painted windows, or
at spacious cathedral aisles, or. eloquent
preaching, or delicious t music; religion
means, always has meant,: always must
mMii thtk Afttnal communion of the human
soul with God in righteousness and holiness.'

Fill your hands to the xrd. ' According
to the Jewish ritual when a person was ded
icated or consecrated to the Lord, his hands
were, filled with some present suitable to,
offer unto God, Hence the term consecra
tion signified " filling up.", It was an orien
talism also, for every inferior when he ap
peared in the presence of his ruler,' to bring
a present in his hand. I r- ' ,
1 The doctrine of consecration, as It pro
gresses in Scripture, takes on a complex as
pect In the New Testament It reveals sev
eral distinct phases. Not Apprehending this
great truth in Us. full symmetry has led to
many extravagances in christian experience.'
i Desire to - be free from' the dominion of
sin U surely to be coveted more than the
love of sin; and striving after holiness more
to.be desired than indifference towards it
Nevertheless, the soul seeking an experience
of decided consecration is exposed to many
serious dangers. The subtle foe is ever on
the alert, ready to supply base imitations
for , genuine experiences. ;W Therefore we
should try every spirit, and test every con
fession' of a professedly surrenderea soul
with the unerring word of God. Nor need
we hesitate to, condemn as 'false any theory
or experience which j makes self. 7 the promi
nent factor in consecration. Thinking about
self, speaking of self, and glorying in self,
are fruit which grow' on other trees than
those of the divine Husbandman's planting.
Nor are we 1 far from dangerous ground
when emotions or ecstacy, produced by
whatever cause, become the soul's pursuit
When such is the case, we probably shall
soon drift into the spirit of comparing our-,
selves witb ourselves;: and of secretly re
joicing in our supposed attainments. Nay,'
more, we shall be apt to compare ourselves
with others, and esteem ourselves better
than they. Pride thrives on onr seeming
superior holiness.; The truly holy, man is
one who is ever ashamed of himself, and
would fain dismiss every thought and calcu
lation about self from the heart; because as
a real disciple he is exercised in heart and
thought with Christ, his Lord, and Master.
His soul hungers to know more of him, to
be engrossed with his varied perfections, to
realize bis wonderful adaptation to every
need of our whole being, to lose himself in
the ocean of his love, and realize the sov
ereign free grace of God in his exceeding
kindness to us through Jesus Christ our
Lord, k The seraphic Rutherford, the holy
Bengel, the devoted M'Cheyne," the earnest
Brainerd, wore truly consecrated men: pe-,

, . I.a 8nBMISSI0N TO THE. DIVINE WILL- .v-5
The Seeking and doing of one's own'will
is a hereditary evil in the rebellious flesh of
man. It is, therefore, contrary to nature to
submit to God's will, the carnal mind being
enmity against God. So it is entirely of
grace when one is brought not onlyinto ac
quiescence, but into joyful submission to
God's will. For it is possible to submit with
resignation and: exclaim, "Thy will be
done," without rising into the higher expe-;
rience of delight in the will of God. There
may be a joyless philosophy in acquiescence,

An enlightened understanding will be occu

1 the matter of consecration, . The word Is
yield;", a word ' frequently employed of
trees bearing fruit, yielding all that is in
them to the husbandman.; .In. Hezeklah's
letter to Israel and Judah, calling on them
to observe the1 Passover, he exhorted them
to; yield themselves unto . the Lords and in
Paul's letter to the Romans he nrges, the
same duty. 2 Chron., 80: 8; Rom. 6: 13,
1610. Not indeed to an enemy; but to a

that we are not our: own, ? having been

fact the soul f is thoroughly , humbled in

presence would utterly destroy these evil
things; Who would not exchange these and
every rag of the far.: country for the sweet
pure garment of humility J This is a robe
which imparts to the wearer a true sense of
personal unworthiness, leading such to
esteem others better than themselves; and
forever destroys all highmindedness. Cour
tesy, gentleness, patience, contentment vrith
mean things, and willingness to be account
ed unworthy, are characteristics of humility,
and therefore of consecration. The spike
nard will shed abroad its fragrance, and the
devoted disciple, like , his master, cannot be
hid. He need not therefore proclaim him
self. (' '
IV. SERVICE.
' Consecration is a condition of service,
Indolence, as one hath expressed it " is the1
rust of the soui'1 . There may be the service
of waiting, bnt there will be no sluggish
ness, nor inertness in the life of, a believer
whose eye is -ever : on the Lord. Intellect,
emotion, love, conscience," will all operate
in their own departments, and co-operate
under the guidance of the Spirit to serve our
Lord Jesus Christ -The .inquiry, " Lord,
What wilt thou have me to do?n will be fUf
appropriate on our lips as the acknowledge
ment of our submission in confessing Thy
will be done." . Ever remembering whose
we are, and by whose grace we Hve, may it
be ours to respond to the inquiry, " Who
will go for us I ' 4 Here am I, send me.
tea. 6: 8. But, in order to enter upon this
experience, we must first recognize tht fact
that all believers are already consecrated by
the purpose of the Father, by the . blood of
the Son, and by the sealing of the Spirit
For consecration is separation or ' devote-
ment And as we have been already sepa
rated by tne sovereign, distinct and written
action of the Father, Son and Spirit, we
should ever nim at" the purpose for which
we are thus set apart, in cleansing ourselves
from all filthines of the flesh; in putting off
the old man with his deeds; in avoiding
every evil way: and in walking worthy of
the vocation wherewith we are calledJ, ,",'
. Thus consecration becomes reduced 'to a
few simple practical propositions. I cannot
consecrate my old nature, for that is a dead
corrupt thing, which God in receiving me,
on the ground of Christ's merit, has judi
ciously set aside. ' 1 cannot consecrate my
new nature, possessed by virtue of my union
with Christ, for that frpm the beginning
was and ever will .'be perfectly holy unto
God. But this1 1 can and must realize: that
I have been called out from the world, and
all its sin and death, to be wholly set apart
and devoted for the Lord's special owner-
ship. Thus the measure of my practical,
manifest consecration will be . exactly in
proportion to the measure with which I ap
prehend God's sovereign act of consecration
already accomplished upon me,? Rev. 6(0,

1 This' and That
This has reference to the State Sunday
school Convention held . at Marion.-; S. O.
Request was repeatedly made that some one
write a brief account of the meeting to va
rious newspapers. The " Convention was
called inter denominational, but; the name
seemed inappropriate, if not 'a misnomen,"
as there were so few denominations inter
(into) the thing. So few, in fact, ihat it
strains the truth to speak of it in the plural
number. In the clisini exercises when re
quests were made to write an account of the
meeting to denominational papers rather
paper the singular number was used, as if
there were only one such paper in the States
and the one mentioned is the one that so
caustically, scathed another denomination
about a year ago. .. But that was not so mor
tifying an omission as was made during the
meeting by; one of the best speakers, who

he calls a man whom God would never call. :.
And for this reason he calls him-because
God does not need him as a preacher. s. God
knows he is not adapted to the w ork for va-.

farmer, mechanic or merchant, and in these
spheres he may be pious, useful and modest;
