JBisrellaufnus Slrfirles. For the N. C. Christian Advocate. Future punishment the Bible. Does the Bible teach the endless pun ishment of the wicked ? The Univer salists deny that it teaches any such doctrine. We affirm that it does. To the Bible, then, will we appeal. The endless punishment of the wicked is evidently taught in that class of pas sages which represent the punishment j which are never forgotten and are of of the sinner as eternal : "Then shall use to them through all their lives. he say also unto them on the left hand, The writer well remembers many things Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire j learned in the class-room, which have prepared for tlie devil and lila angels." bn nf grat profit to him in his way Matthew, 25 ch. 41 ver. "Who shall to heaven. He met with many triai3 be punished with everlasting destruction in every day life, and he was often in from the presence of the Lord, and 1 doubt whether truly converted, persons from the glory of his power " 2 Thess. j had their trials ; would pray, get hap lch. 9 ver. "And the smoke of their ! py and rejoice in hope of the glory of torment ascendeth up forever and ever." j God, and would hope that he was en "And these shall go away into everlast- j tirely delivered from temptation ; but inj punishment, but the righteous into i soon discovered that he was mistaken, life eternal." Matthew,2och. 4Gvue. 1 "It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands or two : feet to be cast into everlast'ng fire." ! Matthew, 18 ch. 8 verse. "And many of them which sleep in the dust shall : awake,some to everlasting life,and some to shame and everlasting contempt." j Dan. 12 ch. 2 verse. W hat do these i passages prove, if they do not prove ! thA rndlosss niinishment, nf the wiidced ?' But the Universalists say that the words translated everlasting and eter nal do not mean endless, and therefore these passages do not teach endless pun ishment. To this we would reply, that the objection would prove too much even for Universalists. 1. The same terms are used to express the self existence and eternity of God. When His un limited existence is expressed by tha inspired writers, He is called the ever lasting God the eternal God the God from everlasting to everlasting. One of two things, then, must be true: either these words do express endless duration, or the Bible does not teach the eternity of God. 2. The sama words are applied to the duration of God's kingdom and govern ment. "Thy throne,0 God,is forever and ever the everlasting kingdom." Now is God's kingdom .o be destroyed and his government come to an end : Shall the throne of the Eternal fall the sue p- drop from the hand of Omnipotence, and anarchy roll its flood of desolation over the universe of God, to please the TJniversalist ? 3. The same words are used to ex press the endless duration of the hap piness of the righteous. We ask, then, why should these words mean endless duration, when arjplied to God, the du- ration of His government, ana tne au-1 ration of the happiness of the righteous, and not mean endless duration when applied to the punishment of the wick ed ? It can not be from the force and meaning of the words themselves, for if they at any time mean duration with er. nd if they rightly and properly ' ' . 1 Tiavft that meaning in any case, they may have it in another, unless the na- ture of the noun 10 wmcu mey ap plied positively forbids it. But no such necessity csthat exists in connec tion with the punishment of the wick ed, to limit the meaning ot tnese worua when thus used. The souls of the wicked will certainly exist forever, and may therefore be punished forever. 4. These words uniformly express the longest duration possible with the Teron? and things with which they stand eottiact-jl. This all will aim:t. And if such Le tho case, is it not cvi- at when applied to the r.itr.uu merit of the wicked tLpTmn,.,,!!,!'- ior trie sinner 1 capable of enduring panjenmcnr, and he immor tal. 5.

Pleatant Recollections of the Class-room. Mr. Editor : It is evident that those who attend properly-conducted class-meetings, -with a desire to be ben efited, as Christians, seldom ever fail to love them. Hence the fact that the opposition to the institution is general ly among those who do not belong to our church, or those members of our church who have never attended them in the proper spirit. But why do those who properly attend them love them so well : This question is not so easily answered by one unacquainted with those spiritual exercises which consti tute a well-conducted class meeting. To such it may be a marvel indeed that any sensible person should love so well services which to them appear to be so dull and monotonous. But to one who has become acquainted with the in stitution and been partaker of the benefits so often derived from attending them, it is no wonder that they are lov ed. In fact the wonder with such an one is, that every body does not love i them. In these meetings, I presume, it is not uncommon for young Chris tians to learn lessons from the plain experiences given by older Christians, for he would soon be tempted again. J In the class-room, he learned from! those in whom he had implicit confi-! dence that all Christians were tempted, j and that temptations, if not yielded to, ; were not sin. Also, that they were ro ; be expected and resisted. And that; the most success-ful mannor,to resist, was j on the knee.-s, in prayer to God. He j heard the old Christians speak of their j trials and of pravinff for crace, and! of the deliverance sent of God, and of the lov which they felt on such occa- sions. A his was learned at a gooa time, and was then, and is now, of the greatest spiritual profit. May it ever be. Many scenes in the class-meeting are of the most encouraging character. Perhaps a very plain, but earnest ex perience, accompanied with tears of joy or sorrow, will have the happiest ef- -w- .11 tect on all present. 1 say tne happi est effect, because it will fill all with mi -m - .1 sj , 1 joy. ihe Methodists usea to Deneve in what they were pleased to call get ting happy. And whenever we im prove Methodism until Methodists do not get happy, we shall have a body without a soul, and as the body decays without a soul ; so will Methodism. Their simple statements of facts, such as some severe trial and great deliver ance, or that they are in the en- ilf tbTmembers "happy, and they will liv a praise the Lord.

Some years ago, a Russian nobleman was travelling on special business in the interior of Russia. It was the be ginning of winter, but the frost had set in early. His carriage rolled up to an inn, and he demanded a relay of horses to carry him on to the next station where he intended to spend the night. The innkeeper entreated him not to pro ceed ; for he said there was danger in travelling so late; the wolves were out. But the nobleman thought the man merely wished to keep him as a guest ; he said it was too early for wolves, and ordered the horses to be put to. He then drove off, with his wife and hi3 only daughter inside the carriage with him. On the box of the carriage waa a serf, who had been born on the noble man's estate, to whom he was much at tached, and who loved his master as he the hardened snow, and there seemed no signs of danger. The moon shed her pale light, and brought out into burnished silver the road on which they were going. At length the little girl said to her father, "What was that strange howhng sound that 1 jut,t heard ?" "Oh, nothing sifliiii'T through the fort plied tho father.

It was quite clear that a pack of wolves had scented them out. lhe nobleman tried to calm the anxious fears of his wife and child. At last the baying of the pack was distinctly heard. So he said to his servant, "When they come up with us, do you single out one, and fire ; and 1 1 will single out another ; and while the i rest are devouring them, we shall get on." As soon as he put down the win dow he saw the pack in full cry behind, the large dog-wolf at their head. Two shot3 were fired, and two of the wolves fell. The others instantly set upon them, and devoured them : and mean- wlgtthjeax"R'or1 them more furious, and they were soon up with the carriage again. Again two shots were fired ; and two more fell, and were devoured. But the car riage was speedily overtaken, and the post-house was yet far distant. f b rmhlpman then ordered the pos- nirri tn loose one of his leaders, that 1 ;v, rrnin tl little time.

It is a fair and legitimate subject for burlesque. But does not the affec tation of learning, in another class of preachers, equally merit the lash of satire. Let & youag clergyman, instead of a sound education, bring from college only the merest smattering of Latin, Greek, and the sciences, he is sure nev er to neglect any opportunity of making a display of his learning. About three years ago, a preacher of that class was settled at no matter where. In nearly every sermon he treated his hearers to a criticism upon the English translation of his text, tel ling them how the Hebrew or Greek of the original should have been ren dered. His pulpit performances were larded with physiology, geology, biolo gy in short, with every ology but theology. Of the latter they were re markably destitute. The ignorant listened with open mouthed wonder, admiring his sermons all the more, the less they understood them. There was a member of hi3 church, an acquaintance of mine, who was a scholar, and a ripe, exceeding one. He kindlv. and in Drivate. ad monished the young Divine on the sub ject of the style and matter of his ser mons. The preacher highly reBented this act of true brotherly kindness, and termed it "impudent ojjiciouaness.'' Seeing the young man was incorrig ible by any ordinary means, and prob ably believing that "Poison must, ns Galen held, Bv counter poison be exnalled," Lo octit him the toliowmg outiitK. sermon, technically called a "skeleton," ! to show up his usual style of preach- Hig SKELETON OP A BIRMON For the Rev.- X 1 ,xt "And he kill 'ei tJie Fatted a nr. 1x-x?.opuct:c: Not nrccsssry t, sav r Vhe ?rud:;Vl :.. - r.4 tiee-ls RccsligKten uijecr. iS'xl a the ..r 1.-; : : j f. -;-7ir Iff- r,li thei-n';! c-f 11 m ' a. then. tm-cu- t bahv. v. .7 for the make some learned romifs:&l..-ac the milky-way, the belt of Jupiter, and Lord Ros..' telescope, j "He killed the fatte calf, but not . m. -T 1 , 1 only the Scriptures, but Josephu3 and the Fathers, are profoundly silent on the question 7iow he kille it.

Being on a visit to his father, he was deeply grieved t find the Church, which he had left in a state of prosper ous activity, languishing, lukewarm, and weak. His thoughts were much occupied with the subject, and,of course, it was the matter of earnest and fre quent prayer. In this state of mind, one morning, he was walking over the fields to a neighbouring house, when suddenly he seemed to be in a room where a number of people were assem bled, apparently for worship. The room he recognised as an apartment in the uouse ot a neighbour, wnere a prayer- meetmg was to be held on the evening of that day. Had he stood in the midst of it he could not have been more con scious of the scene. There wa3 nothing ! of the dim, or shadowy, or dreamy about it. He recognised the people, noticed where they st and stood, remarked his father near the table, at which a preach er was rising to give out a hymn, and near the middle of the congregation he saw a man named C, for whose salva tion he felt particular anxiety, stand ing with his son beside him. While gazing with astonishment upon the scene, he heard the words, "Go and tell C. that he has an offer of salvation for the last time." j Naturally supposing that the too great concentration of mind upon one I subject had induced some hallucination of the senses, Dr. Bond fell down on his knees and besought God to preserve his reason.
