To deny the reality of hell; la to give the lie to all of tlila. Oeath Not Annihilation Those who deny the hell into which the wicked are cast. called the second denth. Interpret the j term to mesa annihilation or eea aatlon of existence. The Scriptures apeak of the saved as having ever lasting life ar a state of blissful endless existence. The Scrlpturea speak of the Wicked a* going Into eternal death, everlasting shame. everlaat Inx destruction, everlasting an guish. everlasting contempt. I? death Is annihilation what] explanation iti there for the fol lowtnx scriptural passages? The Scripture nays the sinner Ih dead ll.uk?* lx:60). "Let the dead bury The dead." Christ said in sub stance: "You follow Me and leave one who la dead In Bin for those who are dead In sin to bury." How can a person who doeB not exist bury another who does not exist? (John vi:53). "Except ye eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood ye hare no life." or have no existence, are extinct. (John v:24) "He hath passed out of death in life." Who? He that belleveth passed out of non-exis tence. How could a non-existent person believe? If he does not I exist there is no one to believe. Kph. 11:1: "You hath He quick-1 ened who were dcad( or did not exist) in trespass and sinu where-' in ye once walked.' If death was non-existence then the Bible says that people walked while they did not exist. I John 111:14. We know we; have passed froiu death (non-exis-, tence) into life because we love, the brethren." He that loveth not hia brethren abldeth in death. If you love not your brother you abide in non-exiatence. 1 Tim. v: 6: 'She that 11 vet h In pleasure In dead while ahe livetb." She doe? not exlat while she liv eth. Though she does not exist but is annihilated she llveth In pleasure. Rev. 111:1: 'Thou Uv est and art dead." Had a name to live but does not exist. When you substitute the word non-existence for dead you have nothing but Jar gon. Everlasting I*unl*hment " ! Thoae who try to obliterate hell j say that "alonlos" (everlasting)' does not mean endless but only a , limited tltne. This word, rendered i eternal or everlasting, occurs 70 i times ir. the New Teutament. The I "everlasting Are" (Matt. xvil:8) Is the Hume word as used in "eter-' nal life" (Matt. xjx:16). The; word rendered ' "everlasting" f (Matt. xxv:46?everlasting pun-' ishrnent) is the same word that is rendered "eternal" in Matt, xxv: 46. In fact. ''aionioR" Ih the word i used In all the following passag es: (Mark 111:29) eternal dam-1 nation. (Luke xlv:9) everlasting^ habitation. (Luke xvill:30) life everlasting (John 111:15) everlast ing life. (Horn. xvl:26) everlast ing Ood. (II Cor. Iv: 17 ) eternal weight of glory. (II Cor. Iv: 18) : things which are not seen are eternal, (II Ttaess. 1:9) punished with everlasting destruction, (II Cor. v: 1) house not made with1 hands, eternal In the heavens. (II j Thess. 11:16) everlasting consola- : tlon. (II Tim. 11:10) eternal glory, i (Heb. v:9) eternal salvation, < (Heb. Ix:14> eternal aplrlt, (Heb. lx: 16) eternal Inheritance. (II Pe ter. 1:11) everlasting kingdom. (I John v: 20) eternal life, (Jude 7) eternal fire. If the identical word does not mean everlasting when applied to punishment why should It be con strued as meaning everlasting when applied to the future life of believers, or to Ood, or Joy or heaven? Now the soft-headed dupe may be satisfied with such word-Juggling as Indulged in by, those who a v trying to do away ; with hell, but the thoughtful per- j son will not be convinced by such methods. What Is Literal Fire? Some bave allayed their fears by concluding there Is do literal fire in hell, but that the bible only uses a figure, and that after all It is not an bad as the thought of ft re would make It. 1 am often asked whether 1 believe In a hell of lit eral fire. That queetlon Is Just another one of the devil's traps. When he starts out to defend a cause he always begins by asking questions. When he came to Kva in the garden he asked her If Ood had forbidden her to eat of any tree In the garden. You say that fire |r the evolution of light and heat caused by the combustion of bodies.

I want to say to you that the coal you put In your furnace nev er burns up It only changes its form, but is not annihilated. Fire will a ls.? penetrate anything. There 1m absolutely nothing that ? can resist Its flames. The carbonic acid g a.h rob ascd by fire is Inbreathed by veg?-ta tlon and deposited In the earth and finally becomes coal again, so ? It Is with all other matter dla i solved by fire. r Fire will penetrate and go th.a wood, stone, water, metal?any thing. The oxidization of iron may be fire for all you know. God Is u fire! Swords of flame guard ed the gates of Eden. Uud ap peared to Moses in the burning bush. He delivered the law ou fire. The Holy 8plrlt came In the flame* on tongues; and in He brews, "Our Cod Is a consuming, fire." Now, tell me what fire is? ; That thing we call conscience,' which will drive people to suicide, may be fire as far as you know. There was a time when sclen-1 tlsts ridiculed the account of cre ation In Geneeis becnuse it said . .there was light before the sun: 'and other luminaries wor* placed in the heavens. Hut science has' aince discovered that light is an energy entirely independent of1 the sun. Though many oth?r BI- \ j ble statements which were once , thought unscientific have been proven by science as accurate, not' one point In the Bible ever has ?been proven uusclentlfic or ln*c-1 curate. And. friends, you take that, crowd that in going to belt and Jumble them up together and don't you think there would t>e a spontaneous combustion?

What are the Infidels, who say there is no hell, doing to show their love for their fellow man? President Elliott of Har vard. Unitarian leader of Boston, says in an addre?t delivered be-, fore the Congregational and Unl versa list clergy of fiostot). accord-; ing to the Literary Digest (Jan. 11, 1913) of those orthodox de nominations who have "nothing better to offer?than atonement, original sin. the trinity and >n1 everlasting- hell. With generous gifts of money and splendid en terprise and devoted self-saorl . flee they are working in foreign fields and doing the very things 1 needed to be done?on the other hand the liberals (meaning the people who do not believo in hell and neither in redemption and ; the trinity) with magnificent ideals and glorious concepts?sit , in smug content, offering the ? world of missions in the hour of [its hunger only the dry bones of | criticism of those who already 1 serve." The people who boastfully de-1 clare their love too great to allow them to believe In hell, fail to show their love by preaching theirI own faith and hope and so-called high concepts an<l ideals to their ? fellow-men. Hence their boasted' love Is all hypocrhry inherited from their father, the Devil, who U a liar and a murderer (Johu ' VIII43-47). Let m? cite a demonstration of I If ve. Down on the Cumberland River a large rock had rolled , from a high cliff into the center ; of the river bed. A boat was com ing and a man Jumped into his canoe and got out into the middle of the river to warn the pilot against the danger. He saw the man waving and ahouting to him ' but paid no attention. "O that is Just some little fool out there try ing to act amart." and he plunged on till the boat struck the rock and the entire crew waa lost. 'I There was another pilot on a boat that caught fire. They be- i Kan unloading the passengers and when nearly ail wen1 off men be gan to about. "Come off, come off, or you will be lost." "la ??- I ery.body safe?" "No but If you don't come now. you will be lost." But no. he stayed till all were safe, even to the negro, and then the flamea had eaten their way through till there was no longer a way of escape for him. He lost his own life, but saved the lives of those entrusted to him. Brethren. I would rather be guilty of turning in a false alarm than creating a false security. 1 don't want a physician to lOTt me In a manner to keep him from using the knife on me when that will save my life.

Man's Nature OciiuiikIk it Another reason for hell, the very nature of man demands it. There Is no cong? niality between the rich and poor, the illiterate J and learned. the good -and bad. pure and impure, and holy and unholy, neither could there be any congeniality between the re generate. There is many a man In town tonight that hud rather be in some of your hell-holes. than down here m a prayer-meet-1 ing.
