He declares thai thn word "aheol" of Iho Old Tealnmont and . Jioilcw" In I he New Tenlninent are translated Inla the KiiKlish of Kinic . Jnniea version by "hell" or "itrnve," 2. That. th words "hell" nnd ."drove" arc used Inlerrlinnirenlil) - In both Iho Old and New Testa ment :'',!', ' . 3. That thn word "sheol" In no Inatnnen Indlrales suffering In any sense of Hi" word, hut always u 'condition of darkness, silence, on rftnsrloiisness, death In every sense or thd word." .' ; 4. That man's only hope of es cape from, death, hell or thn Rrave Is by a resurrection of tho dead recreation absolutely by Iho power ef God." . Mr.- Hell's first affirmation Is only partially true. The word "sheol". or the Old Testament Is translated by. "hell" and "Bravo," , and ulso by.lhn word "pit" as ho afterwards soys. Hut ''hades" Is never In the New Testament trans. teted by "wave," hut always by "hell." The word translated "Brave' In Jno. 11:311 Is "mnnmelon." The word that Is translated "Bravo", in I Cor. ir,:f,r In "thiinnton," and rteuns "dcaiti," at Iho itovlaed y.crsion has It, not "Rrnvo.', J wtsh U remark at this point that In the IjMd Testament, whero a burial tdarc Is plainly meant, tho word Aiheol" Is never used. There arc I'll such references In the O. T., and heol" Is never once used to desljr. natc the place where the body la burled Is "kavor," not "shcol." 'I . nWnn8 the place whero the body Is Hiirledf Is "knver." not "sheol." I am prepared to say that "sheol" Is never used In the O. T. to indicate ' tho phiee whero the body hi placed after death. The same Is true of "hndes" In the N. T. J'lvcn the ' Klnif" Muipes translators never translated "hades" by the word "Briivo." 1 he word "hell" -was usM-in-very iHatuneer -I-Bsk-tlH mailer to read (len. ar.:2o, II Ham. 11:32 und Jit. ,S:1 where the place or burial of the body Is unmistak ably Indicated and to remember that "sheol" does not occur In any or these juissiikcs In the. Hebrew. There nro SIS other such places la ho O. T. Whut we mean hy the grave Is never indicated by '"sheol" In llio O. T. or "hades" In the N. T. , Tho American Iteviners were, so thoroughly convinced that neither Vsheol" nor "hudes." mean the irravo, that they never onco so translated thorn. The word "(rrave;" occurs many times in tho Ameri can revision or tho O, T., but Is never tho translation or "sheol." t'hc word "Brave." in the sense If li hilrlul place;' does lint occur In Shows Workers Volunteering to "Save England" as Great Industrial Crisis Grips the Nation (tfk 'S m L i ti f'opyrlBlit!'
