WINNSBORO, K. 0. Thursday, February 28. 1878. R. MPANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. 8, REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. JUDOR WHITAK Eli, in New.Orleans, has refused to grant Retui-nipg Board Anderson a now trial, an1ihlias sentonced him to two years in the penitentiary. Now for a fresh howl from the "visiting statesmen." HoAR, BUnNSIDE, Matthows, Cono ver and Patterson were the only Republicans who voted to confirm Northrop as district attorney. Edmunds made a violent speech against hin and was intensely dis gusted with the result. THE ATTEMPT to fire Mr. Grigsby's store at Ridgeway is an unusual event for Fairfield. Heretoforo the county has been peculiarly exempt from crimes of a serious naturo; and the first out-cropping of this spirit should bo mot with a determination to repress it immediately. A re. ward should be offered for the arrest of the miscreant, and every effort made to bring him to justice. Fairflold cannot;afford to bo the theatre of such crimes as have harassed some of our sister coun ties. Future Punishment. The question "Is there a Hell ?" has been agitating the religious circles of the North and of Great Britain for some time. Many of the leading divines are by the cars. Beecher disbelieves in Hell while Talmage fancies ho can almost smell the brimstone. The Korth American Review his takon the mattor up, and publishes the opin ions of quito an array of learned theologians of all shados of belief. Dr. Porter of Yale Collego was first invited to make known his viewp. These were shown to Mr. Frothing hAm who coninented on thom 'and gave his own interpretation of the doctrine. They were handed alko to Vicar General Thomas S. Prester, who gave the view of the Catholic church, and to Dr. Bellows, who gave his own rather than a denomi national aspect of the doctrine, and to Dr. WV. R. Williams, Baptist, and Dr. Thomas J1. Sawyer, Universalist, each of whom presented not .only his own views, but those of his own denomination also. Dr. Por ter then reviewed his critics. He believes in future punishment, but does not insist on a bed of "burning marl" and brimstone. The views of the other dlivincs are thns given:-. Mr. Fr'othingham looks upon the Bible as simply a book--a literary phenomenon.-to be read exitically, judiciously, intelligently, as other writings are readl. And viewed in this light, a entence ljke "Depart from me, ye cursed, intQ everlastin*g fire, prepared for.,i devil, and his anigels,~ dorives no authority from its position .in, a New Testament writing, or fron' its beimg put into the month of Jesus. It is lij a boulder on the surface of a meadow, which. the geologist explamsu by tracing its history and origin to some remote, formation Gf rock.. If the text not quoted,. any text. of like tenor, can be trace4 to Babylon, and ultimately to the Persian dulism which wasi impQArt. ed into. Palestino hy the return ing captives, then it deserves as rouch consideration as the Persian theory; of dua~lism deserves-as maq)h,. and, no mores It is of the same situf with the original ;formia-, tion, from which it. is ia fragment. The b~elieverB 'in duaism will treat it-with. respect, not on account of ita incidenital location, but on ac-.. cgunt of- its, organic textpre'. M~r. F'rothinghami lays, down .this fial ropsiton-hat a hateier in tiptre pnforsitoreason will be~rc vdas true so long as the confermity lasts;- whatesor in S aiptage, falls out wi'th reasop, 'wfflbo dtscarded as erroneous se Sg:as. Uhee disgeape exiss. Ec assume thme authority of Scrily lure and then torture its statene t~ acqmiescence in the 'mnquisito's creed, is a pract~ics.vdhich th6 um, ex~geonat4w os' ona concernmg which are certainly tobeb16i there is a Hell, and second, that the spirits and souls condepned are in eternal' suffering. The doctor sus tains those propositions-or rather the Church's belief in themn-by appeals to the Athianasian creed, to the Fifth General Couicil, wh1l4 cQndonned the dodtrine of. irIgen and. other early fathers - that the punishnent . of the -wicAqd was temporary ; to the Fouth Latoran Council which reaffrmed:: the church's faith in eternal puiehment as a dogia, and to Bonedict XIL, whose "Conititutions" define the dogia more explicitly. Dr. Pres ton cites the traditions of the church also as being of the same generq]1 tenor. The church also teach6s that there are deadly sins for which ihere can be no fnrgivencss after' this life, and if there be no plane for pardon then the punishment for such sins must be without dud. Dr. Bellows says the Unitarians believo in eternal punishment in the only sense in which President Porter seems to believe in it-i. e.,9 in punishment limited by no boma dary in time or eternity beyond which it cannot extend ; in punish mOnt that will last as long as sin lasts, and will bo eternal if sin is eternal, and that the iore event of death and a change in our spirit's vestur() will not alter our moral and spiritual conditions or change the present dispositions of a holy moral Sovereign and kind Father toward His subjects and children. Dr. Williamins, on behalf of the Baptists, argues from the fact that ir an is redeemed by Christ only, and that that no provision has been made, so far as we have any indica tion in Scripture or in the moral government of God, for the redemp tion of fiends and demon4, that punishmlent must be eternal. Ncither mian nor devils can repentI of thomselves without divine help, and when such help is refused or is not given they must continue in sin and hence in punishment eternal. In regard to the sentimental theory Dr. Williams shows that, though Christ wept over Jerusalem and prophesied its utter overflow He did not avoi t that ruin. The tears did not avert the wasting and the )lsting by tihe avenger when pitilessly repelled as the Healer. The Doctor traces the historical associations of the words "damna tion" "condemnation," "judgment," and shows that the prophecies aw far back as Enoch, before the Delugo, believed in the doctrine of eternal punishinnnt for sin. Dr. Satwyor, the Universalist, re joices that the fire and brimstone hell is now seldom preached, and. says that old grounds of reason on which the doctrine of endless pu: ishment was formerly made to, rest have been laid aside and new, though not better, ones invented., Speaking for himself and his 49 nomination, ho says they recognize tbe ovil of sin, but believe that it is an evil inecdental to the develop ment of free moral power's andc relatively' transient in its nature, and is ulti utely to be overcome and whoully eliminated -from the universe of God by thoso retributive ftlanigogptive, 1O -cesges revealed m rig pio. ai mnanifested in dom and joyeol4 i$n, their' hand and knoi+ sogel' how to employ, andl which theoy Id 'enly in a way perffetjy sitiod .t9 ipan as. a free mnoral bipmg~ ~ wihonLAes troy ing ~is personallity r vi'oting his freet opi. Wbile the doctcos , are thus differing, blaspheming Bob Inger soll ro~mns over the land like a roaring lion, devouring Christianity, Hotll, Brimustone, Fire and all.
