EIGHT REASON'S AGAINST UNIVERSALIS^. ; pi BY DR. ALEXANDER. jP 1. It do-s violence to the Holy Scriptures, i ^ and perverts t'?e plain and obvious meanmg of numerous passages which speak of the ^ future punishment of impenitent sinners. And if in one case we may thus set aside the express ami repeated declarations of GoJ, to acconimo lute the doctrine to ourj{. own reason or inclinations, the volume of, ' inspirit on is dishonored and rendered use-; j. l'^?s; tor upon these principles we irey re- i 4j joct every fundamental truth of the Bible.' ^ If the doctrine of future punishment is not }j taught in the-Bible, neitner is tii-* doctrine r), of future happiness ; for they arc common. , ly inculcated in t!ie same passages, and :n " - * I ? I ' 1 ; fl, similar ian?ju?r?j*-. 2. Ifil bo true thai sin is not punished Jin ' ^ the future world, than it woulJ fo low thai ' jj iijJ exercises no moral government over a t!ie world ; for in the present life the wick- : ed often live at case an 1 are prosperous, | ' while the VTiuous are nffiiclotl. Thij J. doctrine goes far to annihihilalc nil diifer-; * encc betweeen virtue and vice, for we must judge of these according to the treatment: j which they respectively receive freui the i ^ Supreme Ruler; but if there be no future i punishments, there is no strong mark ofdis. j j, approbation set on vice. A doctrine which i ^ involves sucii a consequence as tin's must j ^ be false and dangerous. ; . o .!.?-trin<> should become ircncr* j t 14 l.KJ a1, human siciefy could not exist. Like , atheism, to which it is near akin, its ma|. ignant tendency is not fully seen, while so- j ciety at large is under the influence of a], contrary belief. But take away from the ; ( minds of all men the fear of judgment and j eternity, and this becomes a scene of vio- i 1 fence?an aceldama. All confidence j ( among men would he destroyed; i nil the bonds of civil soc cty would be sev~ \ \ cred. ' Do not sav that vice might be co- ' V creed by the civil law?a vain hope.? j ^ Where the whole mass is corrupt, laws arc I . usele ss. What means of ascertaining the I I truth in courls of justice will remain, with-! f out which justice cannot be adminis ered, if I W] no man fears the consequence of perjury ? j J ?Suppose a man who has no fear of judg- j, nient, to be solemnly called upon to declare the truth in a case where h s own honor r arid interest, or that of some friend, is a: j stake?what is there to prevent him from n perjuring himself? Or if lie can gratify se- j n cret malice, by swearing against the life of! an enemy, what shall res rain him ? He j ^ may reason with himself thus : u I know t] this is a wicked act, hut it will serve my purpose, it will enable me to gratify my re- j venge ; and I have nothing to fear. Da- j s tection, here is impossible, and hereafter I j /f am sure of heaven, do as i will." What - secur.ty should wc have that our medicine 1 would net be remingLd with poison in | every house ? Tho men w 10 propagate | such doctrines are manifestly pursuing a j ( course destructive to the peace and good j order of society. 1 would fully as soon j have an atheist to baer wi tries? .against me j on oath, or to sit in judgment as a juror, as ! n one of these new-fangled Universalists. 1 S( 4. If there is no future punishment the ' ^ wicked who are driven away in their wick. ! ,j edness, arc happier than the righteous j who are preserved to suffer. The w irked antediluvians who perished in the flood, had a bette |?ortion and a richer reward 'han ! ,j Noah, for they all escaped the troubles of i life and went to heaven, while Noah and 1 ?j his family were subjected to tuumcrab'e s s| hurdships for some luindreds afyenrs. The _ inhabitants of Sodom, and Gomorrah wi re J n briter off, though 'hey were destroyed by j fire from heaven, than righteous Lot, who ' scaped for ttiey were released at once ; v :rom nil pain, and sorrow, hut his afflictions c were in-' ?

I T..;:. >' was therefore, gre. dy preferrable { > t. : of mo Israelites, who endured many \ and suft'rings. Upon this tli< orv. Ju-! n J s was rather benefi ted than injured, by a his base and ungrateful crime of betraying 11 ins Lord, and by his suicide. Indeed if; r there be no future pumshmcnf, and the next j j( world be better than this, not only will sui- c c;de innocent and beneficial, bot the re can I c be no great harm in murder. It only ush a ers a feUow-creature into superior bliss a ; i little earlier than if he were left tod:c a na- j, lural death. J 5. Upon the suppo it ion that this doc- j v trine is :rue, repentance i useless ; neither n is there any need of sanctification. Heav- _ ' n is the sinner's rigl:t, without any condi. I ij n o; preparation. How the ungodly will i c >{ picosed w th the place and the exert ises, is* at.otn<T qnestion. Whether dying will n takeaway their disrelish for devotional exercisea is not explained. But there is no Sl need ol undergoing the sorrows of ripen- a tance for sin.?This the Universalis^ ack- G nowledge. A writer b< fore referred to,declarcs, * that there is no! the least occasion u for solicitude aboutjsalvalion, neither u it in ri eur power to promote or hinder it." We ,, did suppose- that ihc advocates of this doc- j trine would have pleaded for repentance, ? which is nothing else but a turning Irom s:n a unto God, as useless to prevent evil in this a life: but we find that in ibis we mistook s, their views, for the same'writer asserts con- rj cerning the evils which sin produces here, 0 *Mhat these consequences are inevitable a and cannot be escaped even by repentance." a. What these men can preach or why they c should preach at all, we do not see. j jr 6. Upon this the )ry there is no need of; ei religion and salvation ; betwehn the man : l! ho loves and serves God and him who fa hates hira and despises his service. Atheism ai is as good as piety, idolatry and heresy as s| safe away to heaven as truth and righteous- in ness. The one thing needful is, to bo fully n; persuaded thut nothing is needful. If men in are only informed that there will bn no fu- ( ai ture reckoning, no condemnation of the hi wicked, no future punishment, they need o! know nothing else , and whether they be. il ? 11 i r* u or nor, an are in me sato way io ! rr ,n. We presume that the principle r: 'caching ofUiiiversalists is on ilic single aim that ihe w icked have nothing to feai 1 account of their sins; (be whv shouk ie)' disturb their hearers about bohevin; r doing otlior things 1 ivut the benefits o i s system win, in the future world, be a: fly enjoyed by those who believe ant reach it. 7. This doctrine encourages men to con nun in sin, by removing all tear of fulun unislimcnt and judgment, in this respcc s tendency is as bad as atheism itself: fo :c most impious denial of a Divine I'cin; annot promise more to its foolish votaric lan exemption from judgment and futur tinishmonf. This species of Universalis:! * > . . i .i li'ailgiti Wllil I!*C YCl'V wwi^i \> theism. It tells the sinner, tnat lot hir etas wickedly as lie will,or as lie c:.r ere is no fear of future of misery. Indee is in some respect worse than ailieistr )r it not only promises exemption fro: unishmen*, but the reward of eternal liaj" ir.css to llie impenitent sinner. It says t 10 at rocious niurdi rerand cruel assnssicr t'ou need fear no evil hercaf er: though yo I ouid die in the commission of t:ic lou'c? ecds, heaven, with all its glory and happ iiss, is yours."

The influence of the gospel is :o eslablis pure morality. A singlo glance at the New Tostamen at sfe-; us that so far as commands am reccpsan l a perfect example arc con if -o n?t i Mr?nf ill lhf? n?*f?ncllillPr CJ U * U| lb "WW MV f O ~ ?und morals.

Whatsoever ye would thai mci hould do unto you, do ye even so to them -no on<* who knows what the gospel h eeds evidence that the w hole influence c s precepts is in favor of practical mors xcellence. On this point, it is its owi fitness. So far as the joint influence e :xamplc and precep; is concerned, it couli 10: be more decided in its efforts for th istublishing of a morality?not theoretic; imply, but practical. And moreover, i; his matter it is not advisory, but imperative t insists upon the practice of its precept! t requires it with the highest authority. Again : we are all aware how die g ?spt issaiis, with the most determined hostility ill those passions of human nature and a hose nnxims of human policy which guise to immmoral deeds and immoral hat t?. And thus i; seeks to drain the louniai if moral evil. It seeks to roo out those prin fi??MV? tlio liaiip* nf I m i nriP'i! i 1 ic |'?

And It lias tl. s aifluencc ^nJ so far as it has this influence, so lar 3 ut wo;k for the suppression of immort oeds, and that loo in the most elf c*ua ray. It is not only pruning the Mipernu acrary s!ioo:s of the trees of wickednes -it is not only seeking to blast its od.oj lossoms and to lop offits outermost branc!: s, but it lays the axe at its root. But this is net all. The gospel is nc lerelv a preventive. Its influence is po=i ve and productive. It insis'.s upon i! oppression of visible wrong between ma tid man ; not only so, but it calls for tb bservance ofright between man and man ?d not only so, but, beyond all, it insist pon the adop ion o{principles productive c ight. It seeks to lay a foundation for vii joiis practice. That foundation is faith t requires of all the exercise of faith Viristian faith?/icing faith. This faith i supreme principle?a right nrinciplchoiy principle It is the eonflndig of lit oul cnth ely into the hands of its Rcdtcmei . ins reliance is bused upon the discover fsupreme excellence in that Redeemer nd this discovery (having such vividues s to excite faith) must simultaneously ox i:e love? supreme love. Fai h, then, be ig as she ivthc twin sister of love?am Etch be:ng the dependence of each?here i :e very foundation ofgooJ works. Whei ti:h resides in the soul, it is side by s?d nd hand in hand with love, and ther treading abroad their sweet and hoavenb ifluence; checking the passions of a fullei aturc ; softening its asperities, and excit ig its action ; they become the mainspring nd the balance of the inner man, and mov< iiri on gently and delightfully in the path; f practical, holv, habitual obcdeince, s( iat faith instead of stunting the growth o lurality, instead of checking tho develop ie?! of obedience, instead of making voir i! the law of practical virtue is their vcr} ' life. It rouses litem, it puts them forth, i 11 perpetuates them. It diffuses i'seif as i r I vital principle throughout the soul, n.akin; t it shoot forth in beautiful symmetry?itpu!? j! on a verdant foliage?causing it to put ou 1 the buds and the blossoms, and mature the fruits of a "heavenly, practical, godly life - So, then, the gospel, while it insists prima 2 rily upon faith, so far from making void th< t i law of good works, does, in very truth, ain r at the production of good works. In cow ' f ' t . _ J_ 5 wanning imiii, it cor.im.awis murmur ; j; s | exciting faith, it excites to morality. i e i But this is not all. I say tin; tendency n j of the gospel is to the production of a pur I; morality. There is very much of religion n > accuracy in the conduct of men ivhi?h i t. i specious, and unqnes ionably diminaiic J ! the aggregate of human wretchedness. t, 1 It is la r in its appearance. I? is beauti n j ful. It is attractive. And vet is impure ). j For example?a man may U rigidly Hon o es?. It may be a maxim with him to dc i, fraud no man. And it may be that a fear t u detection?or some other remote evil?c ?t i the mere love of a good name?or the n[ i. | prehension of a retributive providence?c o some similar thing, is what makes him iior ?t est. It may be that he is so?not for th i- love wliich he bears to honesty?not for th i. abhorrance which he has for knavery? bu ;e simply I?r liis own interests. It may h st that bis honssty has such a foundri" ton?thr r- it would all melt away the moment h if s'ould be satisfied lint fraud would brin )f him the geatest good. Now this is not a t honesty ofhcirl, And though it isspeciou; If j and though it may be servicable, it is ino ! pure. And so is any other species of rr.oi e alicy having its origin in a corrupt motive it Now the gospel seeking to excite men t 0 | good works seeks (o do it Ifirougnjaun. p, J aims af the implanting of this holy princ le j pie, whence will spring, not a morality ( id J selfishness, no: a morality of po'icy, not d ; morality fed by the stimulus of hiro or re it I ward, but a morality rooted and groundc r. ( in divine love, a moraii y gushing fort it j spontaneously. It seeks through faith, i l. ! an indwellnng, moving power, to make mc ; ' honest, for honesty's s<ikc ; to make thci a ! kind, for kindness1 sake; to make thei i. j courier ir, 'or courlesi/s sake\ to mnfc u j them do rig! t, for the Jove oj right; 1 ie ! avoid wrong for I uefhale of wrong. It seeks! e 1 estab! sh within them the principle of rig1 I doing?faith?that so it shall ho efFoctiv :t I net only of morality, but of unadultcraic I morality. So, then, this is the tendency of the go. s ( pel?:ho tendency of the whole gospe e | Wc cannot cull out of it a single prece| h j which does not point to this result.

The crew threw great j lumps of the flesh of the sea-horse, which j they had still rema ning, on the ice: These j the old bear fetched away singly, laid every j le lump before her cubs as she brought, it and j . ! dividing it, gave to each a share, reserving : " i for herself but a small portion. As she] was fetching away the last piece, the sailors ,*s! levelled their muskets at the cubs, and y ! shot them both dead ; and in her retreat j they wounded the dam, but not mortally. ] It would have drawn tears of pity from any j s. but the most unfeeling, to have marked the Sf affectionate concern expressed by this poor j.! beast in the last moments of her expiring ?r J young.

A ! ; gciitleman-not ourself-borgained for one [ u i at two shillings ; and taking out ofher pock- j c let one piece of money, it was seized with j I the eagerness of stealth by the husband. ' lt i She looked up w.th a piteous expression of *?! countenance, and said, in a most subdued j s tone, the tears starting from her eyes? "Sir, give rne the test or it will go for Rum.
