The Doctrine ol Hell mid 111 Origin
Roslin'a article is an excellent
production and worthy of much
consideration; but I cannot admit
that his proposition is well found
ed in historic or etymological
proof. For the doctrines of the
aion punishment, hell and the
devil, are not deductions of the
clerey of the dark ages, nor have
their theological meaning been de
rived since or during Constantino's
time; although 'it ts true "that
creeds became churches and from
thence the church started on its
downward course."
As much as any one might be
glad to relegate these unpleasant
teachings to the "unwarranted and
unscriptural intervention of the
clergy of the dark ages," I am not
able to find adequate proof to justi
fy it. But on the contrary I find
the earliest interpreters of the
words of Jesus, and his disciples'
teachings a-, well, strongly and ex
clusively on the side of what is
termed orthodox teachings of those
subjects.
Justin Martyr, who flourished
- from 110 to 165 A. D., was a pupil
of Polycarp, who was a pupil of
John the beloved disciple, and lie
makes many strong allusions to
hell as a place of the aion of tor
ment and the place of the devil
and his angels. So I might fill
these pages up with quotations
from nearly all the Apostolic and
church fathers, before the Nicean
Council, who without an exception
state and defend the belief in a
, literal hell and a personal devil.
These all lived and wrote before
the time of Constantine, as any
one may determine, by looking in
to the subject.
While it is true that "Hades"
(Greek) and "Sheol" (Hebrew)
primarily mean the grave; there
are other words in Greek and He
brew, used in the New Testament,
which mean distinctly the grave
or tomb and that only. Mneema.
Greek and its plural, appearing
49 limes - in -the Xew Testament
tnenns the grave, while the word
Hades appears only 11 times and";
is used only once, and that poeti
cally, when applied to the grave:
I Cor. 15: 55. But there are two
other Greek words used in the
New Testament for hell. They
are Tartaroo, dat found only
once: II Pet. 2: 4: and Ge-cnna,
found 12 times; Matt. 5: 22, 29,
30; 10: 28; 18: 9; 23: 15, 33. Mark
9:43, 45, 47. Luke 12:5. James 3:
6. Donnegan's Greek Lexicon,
gives the word Tarterus non this
definition: "The lowest and dark
est part of the infernal regions;
the abode of the titang," and Hom
er uses the word for an abyss.
But the word Ge-Enna is a greci
anized word from the Hebrew, and
means "torture, punishment, hell,
as used in the New Testament."
It sprung from two words; "ge,"
meaning land, and "hinnom" "a
deep and narrow ravine with steep
rocky sides to the south and west
of Jerusalem." It was on the Bide
of this ravine that Salomon erect
ed the high place for Moloch, I
Kings 11: 17. In these, most
blood curdling rites were conduct
ed from time to time in that val
ley. Ahaz and Manasseh made
their "children pass through the
fire" in this valley, II Kings 16:3.
II Chron. 28:3; 33:6. The most
fiendish custom of infant sacrifice
to the fire god Moloch, was kept
there at the place that was also call
ed Tophet. Josiah Bpread human
hones and other corruptions over
the place'so as to put an end to
these abominations and from this
time it seemed to have become the
common cess pool of the Cities'
sewerage and garbage. From this
and the abominable fires of Mo
loch, as well as the ever burning
funeral piles that were there con
ducted, it came to be used as a
type or illustration for tjjo aion of
burning or place of torment, to
which the disobedient and the
abominable are to be consigned.
In this sense the word is used by
our Lord. Matt. 5:29; 10:28; 23:
15. Mark 9: 43. Luke 12:5 &.
The word Aion translated etern
al and 21 other ways in King
James' verson,and connected with
this place and punishment, is ca
pable of being interpreted by a
short period of duration, and in
fact is so translated by some to
mean an age or period of punish
ment. While 1 Have Deen ineiineii
to that interpretation, yet by the
grace of Christ I do not mean to
test or tempt the eternal plans of
God in any other place than the
one prepared for those who love
and obey Him; for while the
mercy of God endures forever, and
he is the personlication of love,
He is himself a consuming fire. 1
will treat the subject of a personal
devil and his origin next time.

Piano names are a legion and in
quality and characterithey vary
quite as much is human nature.
Generally spe'aking there is the
cheap commercial kind that sell
for a small sum, and come dearer
then the "stenciled" one at which
the finger of scorn is always point
ed, the medium priced piano, a
whole horde of them and which are
always pleasing; the high stand
ard piano costing a little more, but
a kind it always pays to have; and
finally those that have'reached the
very pinnacle of perfection. Pi
anos that remain faultless and
sweet in tone, perfectly sound in
construction and pleasing in con
struction for more than one gener
ation to enjoy. Instruments that
gifted artists have lavished time
and talent on to produce decora
tion to harmonize with the artistic
and refined tone within; on which
the scientific piano make has K -stowed
skill, experience and ex
periment to evolve a case combin
ing perfect symmetry of outline
with the utmost possibility for
tone production; to whose con
struction the forests of the world
have yielded up tlit.tr richest
woods; mine and forge have con
tributed fine metals; from out the
Orient rare ivories have been
gleaned and upland flocks have
furnished finest fleece for felts and
leathers. Supreme intelligence and
judgment the most discriminating
musical ear and the greatest me
chanical skill have co-operated to
so assemble combine proportion,
shape and finish these rare pro
ducts that sweetest tone, the great
est volume, most endurance, re
sponsive touch and perfectly bal
anced action shall produces fault
less instrument. Few pianos pos-
sess all these qualities and none to
so marked degree as the Chicker
ing piano, the oldest inAmerica,
Boston's best; the Weber of New
York, by many oddej the tinest m
strument made in that city, and
the great Kimball of Chicago, the
most modern and progressive up-to-date
piano made. One that
through sheer virtue of its super
ior tone and finish and the reason
ableness of is price has risen in
its short existence of fifteen years
to a prominence in the musical
world, equal to the former much
Lolder makes.

"MARTY BROWN,
MASCOT"
By RALPH H. BARBOUR.
MAUTY wns a smnll, stiub-..oi't,,
fn-ckle-fucet, youth who hnd been
adopted ns u mascot by ttfe tfimtmir
ville Uuselm.ll club, and whoM- vU'wt
duty whs to cure for the bntn. Attrr
nmny victories, there eiune a day of
disaster for the nine, with an injured
left fielder, and no one to put in his
place. - '
Hoy Ayer meanwhile had searched
unsuccessfully for ftpinyer to take
the injured Webster'tt place, nnd had
just concluded to apply to Vulcan's
captain for one uf his substitutes, when
he turned to find .Marty at his side.
"Are yer lookin fer a feller to play
left field?"
"Yes," answered Bob, eagerly. "Do
you know of anyone?"
Marty nodded. '. '
"Who?"
"Me."
Hob stared in surprise, but Marty
looked back without flinching. "lean
play, Hob; not like joit. of course, but
pretty well. And, besides, there ain't,
no one elw, is there? Give me a show,
will yer?"
Hob's surprise hnd given place to
deep thought- "Why not?" he asked
himself. Of course Marty could piny
ball; what Suinmerville boy couldn't,
to some extent? lie turned and .strode
to the bench, and Marty eagerly
watched him conferring with the oth
ers. In a moment he turned and
nodded. The last half of the Inst In
ning beenn with the score J2 to 9 in fa
vor of Vulcan.
"Play carefully, fellows," shouted
Vulcan's captain, as Hamilton went to
bat. "We've got to shut them out."
"If youse can," muttered Marty,
seated on the bench between Hob and
Wolcott.
It looked as though they could. Tbb
groaned as Hamilton popped n short
fly into second-baseman's hands, and
the rest of the fellows echoed the
mournful sound.
"Lift it. Will; lift it!" implored Hob
as Pickering strode to the plate. And
lift it he did. Unfortunately, however,
when it descended it went plump into
the hands of right field. In the stand
half the throng were on its feet. Itoh
looked bopeleshly nt Warner as the
pitcher selected a bat.
"Cheer up. Hob! " cried the latter, grin
ning. "I'm going to crack that ball or
know the reason why!"
The Vulcan pitcher was slow and
careful. They had taken the wearied
Baker out and put in a new twirler.
Warner let his first effort pass unno
ticed, and looked surprised when the
umpire called it a strike. Hut he re
ceived the next one with n hearty wel
come, nnd sent it speedir.'r away f; r n
safe hit. taking first mw ami'! Ihe wild
cheers of the litlle group if blue-awl
white-decked watchers, Tlmr Htcn hur
ried across to coach the runner, and
Hob stepped to the plate. His contribu
tion was a swift liner that was too
hot for the pitcher, one that placpd
Warner on second and himself on first.
Then, with Hamilton and Sleener both
coaching at the top of their lungs,
the Vulcan catcher fumbled a ball nt
which Howe had struck, and the two
runners moved on. The restive audi
ence had overflowed nn to the field now,
and excitement reigned .-npren e. An
other strike was called n re, and
for a moment Summcrville's chances
appeared to be hopeless. Put r, minute
later the batter was limping to first,
having been struck with the ball, nnd
the pitcher was angrily grinding hits
heel into the ground. ,
"Webster at bat!" called the
scorer. '
"That's you, Marty," said Wolcott.
"If you never do another thing, my
boy, swat that ball."
Marty picked out a bat and strode
courageously to the plat. A roar of
laughter greeted his appearance.
"Get on to HI Jeans!" "Give us a
home run, kid!" "Say, now, sonny,
don't fall over your pants!"
It needed Just that ridicule to dispel
Marty's nervousness. Ha was angry.
How could he help his "pants" being
long? he asked himself, indignantly.
He'd show those dudes that "pants"
hadn't anything to do with hitting a
baseball! He shut his teeth hard,
gripped the bat tightly, and faced the
pitcher. The latter smiled at bis ad
versary, but was not willing to take
any chances, with the bases full. And
w, heedless of the requests to "Toss
him an easy one, Joe!" he delivered a
swift, straight drop over the plate.
"Strike!" droned the little ump.rt,
skipping aside.
Marty frowned, but pne no oilier
Mgn of the chill of diMippoiutuietit
that had traveled (loWvjt his spine. On
the bench Wolcott turned to his next
ueihlior, and said, as he shook hlhlicud
sorrowfully.
"Hard luck! If tt hnd only been some
one else's turn now, w might have
seorml, I guess little Marty's nut up
to curves."
Mnrtv watched the tu-xt delivery
carefully nnd let it pnn. 1
"Hall!" called the umpire, '
Atf.iin he held himself in, although
it was nil he could do to keep from
swinging at the dirty-white globe as U
sped by him.
"Two balls!"
"That's right, Marty; wait for a
good one." yelled Wolcott, hoping
against hope that Marty might get t'
first on halls. Marty made no answer,
but stood there, pale of ce, while
the bull sped around the bases, and at
last went back to the pitcher. Auin
the sphere sped forward. Now was his
time! With all his strength he swung
his" bat-nnd twirled around on hi?
heel t A roar of laughter swept across
the diamond.
"Strike two!" cried the umpire.
llul Marty, suiprised nt his failure,
yet uiidaimticd, hoard nothing sne
the umpire's unmoved voice. Forward
flew the ball ngaiu, this time unn.hv
takably wide of the plate, imd the little
man In the snuff colored alpaca emit
motioned to the riglU.
"Three balls I"
Hob, restlessly lifting his feet to be
off nnd away on his dash to third, wait
ed with despairing heart. Victory or
defeat depended upon the next pitch.
A' three-bagger would tie the score, n
safe hit would bring Sleeper to U e
bat, Hut ns he looked nt the pale-focod
odd-tooking" figure beside the plate, he
realized how hopeless It all was. 'Hie
pitcher, thinking much the same
thought, prepared for his last effort.
Plainly the queer litlle ragamutlln
nn but smn n, nnd a straight tin 1 1 over
the plate would bring the agony to
nn end. I'p went his hand, and straight
and sure sped the globe.
Now. there was one kind of hall that
Marty knew nil about, and thnt wnsn
nice, clean, straight one, guiltless of
curve, or drop or rise, the kind that
"Whitey" Peters pitched in the vacant
lot back of Keller's livery stable. And
Marty knew that kfnd when he saw
It coming. Fair nnd scpiare he cnught
It, just where he wanted it, on the
but. All his strength, heart nnd soul
were behind that swing. There wns
a sharp crack, a sudden mighty roar
from the watchers, and Marty wns
speeding toward first base".
High and far sped the ball. Center
ami left fielder turned as one man and
raeeikup the field. Obeying instruc
tions, they had been playing well in.
and now they were to rue it. The roat
of the crowd grew in volume. Warner,
Hob and Howe were already racing
home, and Marty, running as hard as
his legs would carry htm. was touching
second. Far up the field the hall wat
coming to earth slowly, gently, yet far
too quickly for the fielders.
"A home nm!" shrieked Wolcott.
"Come on oh, come on, Marty, my
boy!"
Warner was horns, now Bob, and
then Howe waa crossing the plnte.
and Marty wns leaving second behind
him. Would the fielder catch It? He
dared look no longer, but sped on
ward. Then a new note crept Into
the shouts of the Vuleans, a note of
disnpp.tlntment, of despnir. Pp the
field the center fielder had tipped the
ball with one outstretched hand, but
hnd fni!eij,tn catch it! At last, how
ever, it was speeding home toward
second base.
"Come on! Com on, Marty!"
shrieked Bob.
The hoy's twinkling feet spurned
the third bag nnd he swung home
ward. The ball was settling Into the
second baseman's hands. The Infter
turned quickly and threw it straight,
swift, unswerving toward the plate.
"Slide!" yelled Bob and Warner in a
breath.
Marty threw himself desperately
forward; there was a cloud of brown
dust 'tt the plnte, a thug as the ball
met the catcher's gloves. The little
man in the alpaca coat turned away
with a grin, and picked up his mask
again. . '
"Safe, here!"
The score was 13 to 12 In Summer
ville's favor; Marty's home run had
saved the day!
Tn nother moment or two It was
all over. Sleeper hnd popped a high
fly into the hands of the discomfited
center fielder, and the crowds
swarmed Inward over the diamond.
It was a tired, hungry, but joyous
little group that journeyed back to
Summervllle through the soft, mel
low summer twilight. Marty and the
leather bat case occupied a whole
seat to themselves. Mart's freckled
face was beaming with happiness and
pride, his heart sang a paean of tri
umph in time to the cJiekety-click of
the car wheels, and in one hand,
tightly clenched, nestled a ten-dollar
gold piece.
It was hlsj share of the hundred
purse the nine had won, Bob had ex
plained, and It had been voted to him
unanimously. And next spring he
was to join the team as a substitute!
And Marty, doubting the trustiness
of his pockets, held the shining prize
firmly in hfs fist and grinned happily
over the praise and thanks of his
companions.
"It wasn't nothin, that home run;
any feller could have done that!"
And, beside, he explained, be had
known all along that they were going
to win. "Why don't you see? the
other fellers didn't have any mas-
