The serious t:ct back. nnnounred in the dispatches of the I:!th, w:ts c\·idently the tnrning polot, anrl from which he has not ami l n all reasnnnblc probability will never tecover. For over eight weeks he )J:t8 been trembling on the Ycrgc of the gran•, :tnd his pn•scnt condition )eavE's no grounch; for hope. He was J,y nnture a powerful man,an<l ble~;sed with :t bravr, hopeful spirit.

OU$ mutters, nnd in one of hiK recent lectures he c:11led the attention of those 'who cling to the idea of an eYerlMting hell to the fact thnt it is not taught nt :ill In the Old Te~t.'l.ment, m;serting that in tile ~.dmini~tration of a nation which wae :wowedly directly in the Divine cnre, there was :t period of' four or five thonsand· years during which the uoctrinc was not taught once. It was eYidcnt that among the Jews there wao n certnin idea ~f n T1ereaftt>r of pain, but the teaching of a gt·oss, sensunl, material tormeut "belonged to the Roman mind. It wns the creation of' the medieval aw, nnd there has come down to us lingering remn;mts of it. When the Roman Catliolic church or~ anized itaelf gradually, it seleuted ns its most powerful instl'llment the keys. No ecepter in tLe Kin~'s band, no sword in a General's l1and, no instrument of torture in inqui:siWnil bends, ever had the power in it that was in the keys. 'l'hcy typified the church's claim to lock and unlock the gates of heaven anrl !Jell for crery human soul; and while the church mn~nified the joys of the redeemed in Paradise, their imaginati:Jn was absolutely drunken with the suficring of the damned souls that wen t out unregeneratcr.l at tleath. While the ProteStant reformation threw off a great deal of thi5, yet it retained much of it, and it mi~ht be s::;id that the popular notion of hell now was gross, barbaric :md devilish.
