to return to earth us a beggar,
cripple, leper, or in the form of a

being in each case appropriate to
the crime. Punishment need not

At the coming of Christ there
were three chief sects among the
.lews. The Pharisees who were by
far the most numerous, believed
that binders wro kept forever in a
prison in the underworld; the Ks
senes believed that the vicious suf
fered eternal punishment in a
dark, cold place; and the Satlduc
ces thought that the soul tlied with
the body. The lirst threats of
hell in the Scriptures occ ir in the
teachings of Jesus. There are
three words in the Xew Testament
which were translated by hell in
tiie Kiiii; James liiblc; hades,
meaning the same as elsewhere in
(ireek literature; (Ichenna, which
was preperly the hell of Hebrew
concept inn, and is uniformly so
rendered in the revised vir-ion;
and Tartarus, used only once (C
Peter iii , III, which is the regular
(ireek word for the place of pun
ishment after death.'' The future
place of punishment represented
m Christ's teachings is a region of
lire: "Whosoever shall say, thou
fool, shall be in danger of tlio hell
of lire" (Matt, v., 'J'J, revised ver
sioni; the lire is to be eternal and
tiiiiiueiichable: "It is nood for
t lieu lo enter into life maimed
rather than haviur thy two hands
to go into hell, into the unquench
able liic, - where their worm
dielii not, and the lire is not
quenched," (.Mark ix., Ill, IS; see
also .Matt, wiii., S). In Revela
tion St. John informs us what fuel
is to support thu titiqtietitdiahle
lire: "If any man wondiipeth the
beast and his image, - ho
sluili be tormented with lire and
brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels, ami in the presence of
the l.uuili; and tho smoke or their
torment goeth up forever and ev
er; and they have no rest day and
night." l.'ev. ic, I) 11.) In an
other passage, it i rove.ik'd con
cerning various kinds of sinners,
that "their part shall be in the
lake that burnetii with lire and
brimstone, which i- the -eeoipl
dentli." ( l!ev. xi. S.) This do.'
Iriue Ma- intended to last uiieliatig

last chapter the statement I hut, if
any man shall add to or take from
the words of this book, he shall

The religion of Islam is charac
terized by lack of originality, and
the .Mohammedan hell contains
nothing but early made variations

In the Gicolc mythology which
was copied by the Romans, the
place of future punishment i call
ed Tartarus. 'Ihe universe i ri p

punished him by placing him in
the nether world in the midst of a
lake, but rendering it impossible
for him to drink when he was thirs

in Taitartis by being eoniel!od

According to the Scandinavian
mythology, nil who die bravely in
battle nre snatched nway to Vnihal
la, Odin's magnificent Ikmk pu t hall
in the sky. Those who, after bees
of ignoble labor, or in Klorioiis ease,
ilie of sickness, di scend to a cold
anil dismal cavern lieucath the
ground, called Nitlliciui i.e. the
mist world. This abode is ruled
by the go bleu of de.ith. whose dntne
is I lei. The place of torment for
reprobates is N'astrond, deeper un
derground than Nitlheim, and far
toward Ihe frigid north. This grim
prison is described in the following
p.issage from the prose Hilda, writ
Un written in Iceland in the Thir
teenth century: "In NaslroinI there
is a vast and direful structure with
duors that face the not t h It is
formed intirely of si-rpi-nts, wattled
t "getlier like wiek'TKotk. Rut the
serpents' beads an- turn -1 Inwards

in which iv.nle .ill (hose who i oin

The fathers oi the Christian
ehureb geicr i!ly t lugbt tip- exinl

li. tiici agoiii.-s. t otti phsic.il and
spwitual, without any te-pil'-, with
out any end." The strict liieraiiiy
with which those doctrine weii
held is strikingly shown in Jerome's
