Rccontly, a certain class of preachers havo been promulgating tho old and ex ploded error, that there is no suoh thing ns endless punishment. This is no new theory. It is as old as Origin, who flour ished in thc third century. That man who prcuohes that thero is no hell, may startle soino persons; but ho will not'^o entitled to any pruiso, as thc originator of a new doc - trine. Others havo gono before him and blazed thc way. Men of brilliant, but erratic, minds luivc said everything on thc subject that can bo said, and still no one, except a fot/, in every ogo, have been in ducnJ 'o adopt their theories. Tho moss of tho most enlightened of tho human family, have been firmly persuaded, in their minds, that thero is a hell-a placo of endless tor ment. It admits of doubt Whether there is a singlo human being on this globe, who is not au idiot or uncivilized savage,that thiaki there is uo such thing as endless punish ment. Thero arc thousunds, who, nc doubt, say thero is no hell, and who would bo willing to preach a connon to provo that tho idea of a boll is absurd; but somo mer havo tho ability to say ono thing, whilst, at hoart, they think very differently. Thero is a olass of philosophers in th? world, who aro bold enough to say, ant rookies* enough to undcrtoko to provo, tho thorois no euoh thing as matter. Wim sensible people call a gate post, thoso philosophers cull a creation of thc imagina tion. lt is certainly very difficult to beliovo thut nnyeano man really believes that there is no such thing ns matter in thc world. IE any ono deliberately makes thc declaration that tho walls of his own house are only thq creatures of his imagination, wo oro forced to conclude that the man is cither insane or a consummate cheat. Ile falsifies hid own convictions. Ile says ho docs not seo what bc does seo, and knows bc sccs; # ho soys he docs not hear what bc does hear, and knows bc hears. In ouo word, bc soys that his Ave senses arc five notorious liars. Tho same is true respecting the man who. sayo there is no heil. Wo arc unable to understand how ho can think that such is tho case, and hence wc arc forced to con clude that he Bays one thing aud thinks another. Thc doctrino of future reward ond pun ishment arc closely connected, lt may be oaid that they form two perpendiculars to tho came plane. If tho ono is true, so is tho other; if thero is DO hell there is no heaven. They aro closely connected with thc doctrine of the immortality of the soul. It is readily admitted that for tho clear notions which wo liavo of thc immortality of tho soul, and tho future r.nd endless blessedness of thc righteous, and future and etidloAA misery of thc wicked, wc arc in-? dobtctK'o the Bible. What of this? Wo arc indebted to thc l?iblo for all tho know ledge which wo havo that is really worth unything, cither for time or eternity. If all tho knowledge which men havo ob tained, either directly or indirectly, was strioken from their minds, very little would bo left, and that little not worth much. Wc aro informed on trustworthy author ity", that there has cxislcd, from lime imme morial, among all nations of even tho smallest advancement in civilization, a society, one of tho primary articles of which is thc belief in thc immortality of thc soul. This is made second only to thc belief iu thc existence of a Supieme being whom wo call God. Learned men, and men of un questionable piety, loll us that many ofUNfl.? ancient Egyptians were members of th society. Its origin dates back, wo aro toK by learned men, to thc days of Moses. 1??7?- f donees of tho existence of this society havo I becu discovered among thc North Amorican \ Indians; among some of tho African tribes, *" and, in every section and quarter of thoA globe, wherever there ore men elevated i'fflR the scale of civilization above brutes. T^^Bc bond of union among tho members of tl^H^a society, is the belief iu tho existence cf ^fljjBfttt God, and io the immortality of tho soul-BB This society docs not claim to bc a religion Jg society, yet its articles of confederation arc^^^ opposed to tho theories of those preachers who proolaim to their hearers that there is uo hell. Thc obvious teachings of thc Bible nro that there isa heaven, thc joys of which aro endless, and there is a hell whose torments will never end. Those who aro disposed to fall in with tho theory that this is a con cocted theory, hatched by theologians to incite some to live lives of faith on tho Sou of God and to frighten others to soi >-o God, would do well to consult tho following pas sages of Scriptures: Matt. xxv:ll. ..De part from mo, ye cursed, into everlasting Ore.": In thc aumo connection they may read the ??th, verso: "Those shall go oway into everlasting punishment." Mark ix:43, 44; xiv:21. Luko iii:17. John iii:36. 2 Thew, 5:7-0. Jude vi:18. ltev. xiv:9-ll;' xx:10. Many other passages of similar im port might be referred to. These, however, aro sufficient. If thc doctrino of endless punishment is not taught in these, it will bo hard to soy what they do tench. Whatever men may say or oven think, thc Biblo does, most plainly and most positively, teach that ibero is a hell and that tho torments of hell aro everlasting-forever nod ever. Those who say that tIto Bible is not tho word of God, and yet arc civilized men, should bo nblo to givo 60IUC reasons fo*' their strange conduct. They tremble when God shakes his rod over them; they dread tho wrath of God, and yet say that there is no such thing as God's wrath. Notwithstanding tho fact that eomo mon of giant intellect aro the promulgators of tho theory that thoro is no hell-no placo of endless punishment-Ibero is not much danger that this doctrine will bo very ex tensively embraced. Unly n certain cluss of preachers will attempt to preach this doc trine, and only a few persons will believe it when preached. It will never bo tho caso that a preacher, eminent for piety, will proclaim to his hearers that there is no hell. Thc man who becomes n setter forth of this strango doctrine, will drivo nil tho godly persons from his congregation. Ho may gain for himself notoriety, but tho man who betrayed tho Lord Jesus Christ mudo him self notorious. So did Nero, lt is very xcasy to muko ono's self notorious. Thoso men who tench that man is but tho devel opment of tho tad polo, or cultivated mon key, aro notorious; but nil scusible peoplo think they arc notorious fools, j Since tho belief iu tho doctrinos of tho Biblo oro eminently calculated to moko mon bettor, thoro is no danger in heartily pm? j bracing them. On tho contrary, thoso men, I (If any thoro bo,) who believe thero is no' . boll and no heaven, nro not, generally, men ( romarknblo for anything but their lawless , oonduct. .. ,-7----. . ?.. s Whenever you want to euro a man of 1 recklessness, placo him near tho pistol t j pocket of a mulo ond lot him rcoklose. llo t J will aoon w'i6h ho was au angol.
