Dr. Hulten Replies to Millennial Dawn Teacher. Rev. Dr. Herman H. Hulten in the course of his meeting in Norfolk is re plying to the addresses of a Millenial Dawn teacher. A Norfolk paper gives the following account of his services last Sunday: "There were upward of 30 professions of religion yesterday at the Freemason Street Baptist church, under the preaching of Rev. Dr. Hulten. of Char lotte. 17. C, who is assisting the pas tor, Rev. Dr. Vines, in a series of evan gelistic services. He spoke four times during the day to the Sunday school, to the regular morning congregation, to a mass meeting of men in the after noon, under the. auspices of the Y. M. C. A., when he made a strikingly thoughtful and remarkably impressive address on "The Gospel of a Second Body," and his fourth talk of the day was to the regular congregation at night. The Ledger-Dispatch of Tuesday re ports Dr. Hulten's sermon on "Hell" as follows : "That hell is an actuality, and eter nal in its duration, and that there is no hope for salvation beyond the grave, is the emphatic belief of Rev. Dr. Hulten, the evangelist, as expressed in his ser mon delivered last night at the Free mason Street Baptist church, in reply to Attorney Rutherford, of Pittsburg,5 Pa., who spoke at the Academy of 1 Music on the 16th of the present month. "Mr. Rutherford is a disciple of Pas tor Russell, the leader of the Millennial Dawn believers, and the position he took at the Academy, that there is hope beyond the grave a second chance for salvation has greatly stirr ed some of the Protestant denomina tions here, so much so that at least two of them are replying in protest against the doctrine, which they contend is not Scriptural. "The announcement of these propos ed replies to be made by Rev. Dr. Hul ten, of the Baptist denomination, and Rev. Dr. Starr,, of the Cumberland Street Methodist church were made last Sunday. Dr. Hulten's reply, con sisting of two sermons, one on 'Hell' and the other on 'Heaven,' was an nounced for last night and tonight, and Dr. Starr announced a series of ser mons to begin at his church next Sun day night. "There was a large aufllence at the Freemason Street Baptist church last night to hear the first of Dr. Hulten's discourses on the subject, viz: 'Hell Is There Hope Beyond the Grave?' He took the ground that the fact of heaven being eternal necessitates the conclusion that there is also an eternal duration for the opposite state, or .hell.' He did not say that the place of punishment is a literal lake of fire, but held that whatever it may be the punishment is just as severe as though it was the eternal fire. That the finally unsaved are to be annihilated as the Millennial Dawn believers hold he positively denied, as unwar ranted in the Scriptures, and held that the immortality of the soul is unques tionable. Some of the followers of Pastor Russell were in the audience last night to hear Dr. Hulten. Follow ing the sermon there were two pro fessions of religion a gentleman and his wife. "Tonight Dr. Hulten's discourse will be on 'Heaven.' Mrs. Monel sings night ly in solo, to the great pleasure of the audiences. Dr. Hulten, whose home is in Charlotte, N. C, visited the Newport News shipyard today, in company with Rev. Dr. Vines, of the Freemason Street church, and Captain Richard son, of the N. Y., P. & N. R. R. VISIT GREAT FALLS.
