Ahhoagh il is Bot there call.-d he 1, y, it is an " everlasting lire prepar ed" (created I suppose) "for the ueviiand his angels." Whether, therefore, the place its? if, as to its location, or the time of its creation, can be dt-mousrrated or not, one thing is sure, that our Lord affirms the existence of a place of " everlasting fire," as being the " local habitation" of all who enter nut into the " kingdom of God, pre pared f"r" the sheep ot the pasture. 3. But, then, 44 It is well known to the biblical student that there are four words" (suppose there were four thousand) "in the original languages of the Scriptures, which arc all translated by the word hell in our version." True. But does it follow from hence, that neither of them ever mean a place of future, aye, endless punishment ? "Well, these four words are, 1. Shod. 2. Hades. 3. Gehenna. 4. Tartarus. And iuw for the first Siioel. 44 This is a Hebrew word," (indeed it is) 44 s.nd occurs 61 times in the Old Testa meut. In 29 of these instances" (not quite hulf, what a strange proof! !) 44 it is ren dered grave." Admitted. But be falls out with the " uninspired translators," be cause they did not always re .dcr it 44 hell" if, as he supposes, they, as well as others, knew that 44 Sheol means a place cf endless misery." In this he unconsciously assures vs, that these men understood their busi ness well. They knew, that often itmeact the grave; but then, they also knew that, ,t least sometitties it ineint something more terrible than the grave ; and that some times it was used ia opposition to, and in coutrast with heaven itself, l'oor fellows, they knew no tester I ! Bat, seriously, I may admit all he says about the meaning of this word as used in the instances (and others too) which tie 1 furnishes on pp. 18-21: and yet, main tain that Shoe! does also mean a place and state of the spiri s departed. I will here give (after ca etui examination) the view of another, as being entirely sufficient to oveithrow he position assumed by Mr. L-tke 4 that the II -brew Sheol, rendered h i ,' i.e.er means 44 a place of end ess misery." IV ID. Whcher it means a plaee of 44 endless misery," must be judged of by the subject the sacred writer had in 'n u - r..' ?bfc t'.r'-. wi!j V lihUwj Vi-. ;';. -a. ri'T' Bui to tLe ir ir-,.; cf !: .

The same U the meaning of the Hebrew word Huoei in tne uJd i eptnmcnt. It is derived from s haual, to ask ; and denotes the place concerning which inquiry is made, because it is unseen and unknown. The word hell, ia now used lor the place of tha damned ; butori2im,!W it .siA.ifind snm; ' .core and concealed, and is of mul the same import with sheol and hades. This, therefore, is the sense of the mesa in t, Psal ins : ' Ihou wiit not leave mv sml in ! ('ne to see corruption. Uur Niviour is P king of his death, by which bis S'-ul 1 and bodv would te sctarate'l : tne one tro- ing into the unseen state, the other being laid in the grave." Diik' Thrclugg. p. 328. Immediately in connexion with this view, consult (if usenius as above. Now, as the word fkeol evidently i son ictinics used in a sense more consistent i , . 1 ' t 1 1 i ' wmi mc ium u j.c vi vhuxium ".Mf, ; than the mere receptacle of the lifeless body; j sod a'sfi snmetimea used in onnosition to i , . 01 iu ieru.,me luspireu iur further, that our Lord used it frequently - ""-v- . J, ; in tii it sense. Now, when we lay all these facts to-j gethr.r, the conclusion lorces ltscit upon our minds, that our Lord understood the word sJioei, as rendered by the Greek trans lators, (and so also used by himself) as meaning the place and state of dt-parted spirits. This must be conceded, that Christ must kave known the meaning of the word zhoel. although be never used that word : for, 1. He was the author of the revela tions of the Old Testament, by his spirit which inspired Moses and all other writers of the canon of the Old Testament. 2. He used the word by which the Hebrew was translated hundreds of years before he per sonally appeared on earth, in the veiy sense in which the word was used by them and othrrs, in the times in which they lived. 3. We are, therefore, brought back to an original meaning which the word sAochad, in the days of Job and the Psalmist, and even run up far into the times of Moses himself. This latter is very probable, if not certain, from the facts, (1.) I hat Mosese was very probably the writer of the Book of Job : and if he was, then will the use cf the term as we find it in Job, reach very far to prove that Moses himself used the word shoelm other places of bis acknowledged writings, (as Dent, xxxii. 22) in a sense of deeper import than merely the grave. And (2.) as we are thus led back to the times and writings of Moses ; we are also arrived at the knowledge of the fact, that Moses him self believed and taught the doctrine of a future state of misery, as well as a future state of happiness.

To the best of my belief, both continued, as before, to harden their hearts and steel their consciences against ail relig ious conviction. The late afflictive ad monition from heaven seemed wholly lost upon them, r.d to all human ap pearance the benevolents design con templated in the chastisement was com pletely frustrated. Time passed on, and our energies were necessarily employed, as the wel fare of religion seemed to demand. The death and burial of little Chester had been crowded out of mind by the pressure of more recent events, and the family after so many fruitless efforts to bring them to duty had been reluctant ly permitted to go their own ways, when an occurrence happened which pierced every Christian heart with the deepest sorrow. There came along one of those trav elling 'dramatic Iroupes,' as they are fancifully called, or in plain words, an itinerant Theatre, one of the most vile and demoralizing sources of vulgar amusements that curse the world. The managers were a set of greasy-headed, dirty, rum-soaked mountebanks, who, with ruffianly air, besotted countenan ces and profane ribaldry, made them selves, during their stay, a nuissance to every decent citizen.

On both hides of Le Ictbir.ua there arc 5 to build the new form from its ruin.

Wiil "Honegau," or Lidded and Scott," or 44 Pa.sow," or G. W. 1. de ny this ? Of late years there has been a lull in the sterm, that hurled nou-prelatical churches over to "the uncovesanfed Ecrcies" of God. We have heard, and we have sur vived the cry of" No Bishop.no Church." But n-w another cry is heard G W P. grinds out "No dipping no preaching" 41 No church without dry br-eche3 f-.r the men, and lead in the tacks of the women.' Well ! we have heard again, and doubtless we wid survive again, says G. W. P. 4If the Baptists arc right on the mode and the su jevts of Baptism, they are the only ! true churches on earth ' All others are 4in- truders and 'profaners of the ordinances, I tc." So mach for the little frog. But the : hi' ox locj- aro bellowed out, 'if the Lpis- copaiians are right cn the mode and suo ijetts of Church government, they are the jonly true churches on earth. All others are : intruders and piofauers of the ordinances.' j Sofce of us were scared at this latter voice, fund r.iles of serious arenments have been heaped together to show that High Church pretatists were wron?, But a nothing j bas come of the sous d we will hardly j wer at this latter day echo, even 11 bap- tism is substituted for prelacy.
