New, York Who dellvcxpd nn addrqss on "UHRBAFTEH" under tho au spices of the "International Bible Stu dents Association." Taking the above text, hp suld: Mankind Instinctively, loolt for and believe In a future life; to the majori ty of minds It docs npt seqtn logical that death ends all. So surely as we believe our Creator to be all-wise, we must assume, that ho has some pur pose In connection with our race, not attained us yet, something beyond the capacity 6f attainment in the present life, under present conditions. Even without a Divine revelation, therefore, wo would be justified In anticipating a' life 'beyond' the tomb, but specula- tlon upon suqli nn important subject, ; of suqh. vital interest, is not necessary.. Wo tr glad, ythab ?ur . Creator has '? glvenfa? In 'the Bible clear Intimations , respecting his purposes, in pclatlon to ,mnn!ltid In the future. Ipverthelcss these purposes were kept secret, not revealed until the (Irst advent of our -Redeemer. Thus the Apostle declares thnt "Christ brought life nnd Immor , . ..tallty to UKht through the Oosnel." It was invisible before, not brought to - light, nnd Its terms and conditions could not bo clearly discerned. ", , , Without any Divine revelation, we sco -n sufllclfney on every hand to cause nstoulshment and to call anx- ft-i'th ,' lously for explanations.

Why are ' conditions so different on this earth of jours? Because One Man Disobeyed. The Bible alone offers us nn explana tion of tho situation. It tells us that God created our race as pure, as per fect, as holy, as happy as the angels, and that he placed our first parents In f Eden, surrounded with everything beautiful and desirable. It explains that our fall from that perfection luto mental, moral and physical decrepl- . tu-Jo came as a result of disobedience , to Ood. It explains that "the wages ' ot sin la death," that "tho soul that sinnctb, it shall die." that all the souls produced by Father Adam and Moth er Eve are dying souls, In consequence . of our sln-lnborltunce. This Is bad enough, sad enough; nnd, as was In- , tended, our hearts, cry out after tho living God, for bis mercy and compas sion, that bo would save us from death, j, aavo us from destruction. Tho answer Qt Dlvlue .iustico Is, that we aro unfit . sto live that our Creator graciously do Elgns that sinners ahull not bo linmor-i-tal, But, hearkening, wo hear a tnos .''Bago assuring us that Ood has looked down in compussjou and "heard the groanlngs of the, prisoners." llo fore knew our helplessness under tho reign of sin and death, and in his Plan made provision for our case In advance "be fore the foundation of th world."

For us all in Adam die. even so all In Christ shall be made alive. But every man In his own order" (I Corinthians xv. 21.28). "Doctrines of Demons." The tnlth about this matter Is severe enough; It shows forth Dlvlhe Justice, Intertwined with Divine Mercy and Love. We admit , our present un worthInes8 of life eternal and feel grateful for proposed assistance through Christ, but our great Adver sary, operating through Ignorance, nnd superstition and fear, seized the op portunity to deceive us and misrepre sent our Creator by bringing In what St Paul designated, "doctrines of demons" (I Timothy Iv, li. These have been promulgated, not merely In heath en lands, but numrigMt tho civilized. These false doctrines have tended to nllenate the- hearts and nilntls of hu manity from Ond and his revelation; they hnve put a barrier between Ood and his creatures. 1 rhejsfc. dtrcjrtnes, qf damons," arc pre sented frwtli. vvrjjiuy syyidjjtt, they are alike In otie. ro&peet; tinmoly. they nil teach that Ood deceived our first parents w.hen he told ti)ism. that tho "wages, of, sin la death." These "doctrines of demons," assert, the con trary, that man ennhpt, die. hut must live somewhere to all eternity. Thus on the. basis uf man's fears, this doc- irinu cpai uuu inruui Jiiiniur.uiwj upon his creatures. tJic demons built up. for us n theory bo horrible ns to bo nan seating and terrifying to every sane nnd healthy mind. These "doctrines of demons" hnve been promulgated far nnd near, and with various colorings. but In essence they are all the same. They have i'onie down from the "dnrls ages." represented In all our creeds, Catholic and Protestant Our Catholic friends have developed j fhls t"0UKht 10 anlt-oty.

While giv ing our Catholic friends, and our own forefathers who were Catholics, credit for being ns sincere as ourselves, we conclude that the light of our day. and the light of our 'Intelligence, will nut pcrinlt us to believe and rejnlco In stich a view of the "herenftor" as this. Wo say to ourselves. Surely the Great Ood has Bomclhlug nobler than this In reservation for his creatures. Prottstant Views Worse. Wbat shall we say of the "IJere after" from the standpoint of our Protestant creeds? How do these com pare with the Catholic views fore goinghow much' worse? When our forefathers thought they had found something erroueous in the teachings ot Papacy, when thoy concluded that Purgatory was not to be found In the Bible, they heroically dotormlned to cast It out of tholr creeds. But alas.' When discarding It. they did not re alise that they were making a bad matter worse. They held on to tho "doetrlue of dumuiw," tlmt Ood hud created man so that he roulil not die, and could not bo destroyed, and so they proceeded to Interpret matters along thnt Ituv. Iteallslng the Scrip turatnM of the proposition that only the saintly ware lit for heavun, and re jecting tho theory of Purgatory, they logically consigned all except the saint ly thereafter to eternal torture. Alas! liow IticoMftlfttfHM It Ik: how strange that we ever thought Divine Fore knowledge, WUdom. Justice, Mercy. Love and Power should have created man to the number of thousands of millions, with the foreknowledge and fore-lntentluu aud ilewirv timt thuy should suffer nn eternity of torture.

We are living now In a t Imp ot great falling away from the faith; few intelligent people any longer believe In the Bible Our college and universities and. ad to say. our theological seminaries are busy turning out unbelievers infidels Nor are these people wicked or Immor al In their unbelief they tire as well meaning tin ever, hut have lost tllelr way. They reject the Bible because thoy believe It to be the foundation ot the various Inconsistencies In tholr creeds; they are stumbling for lack of knowledge: thoy cannot believe that man's hereafter Is one of centuries of suffering, or of eternal suffering. Seeking the Old Paths. The Lord, through the Prophet Jere miah, tejls his people to "ltupilrc for the old paths." and this Is the nppfo prlnte lesson for ouch of us. We do, Indeed, need to discard the creeds of the irast, not because they contain nothing of truth, but because error commingles In them to such, a degree as to make them perversions of truth as a whole. We need to take off tire crcedal spectacles with which wo havo hitherto been studying God's Word, and come to the Bible afresh, to hear its message. Thus coming, many of us have been surprised as we have found Its purity and consistency and harmony with Itself. We have already Intimated the Bible view of tnnti's death sentence, nnd the Bible presen tation that Christ died for our redemp tion, aud the Bible assurance that as a copsvitueiuie. In "due time," ','the knowledge',,!, the,,'glory ot Ood shall fill the. wjiofe er,th.'.'t We have also . i. . i . i . . i . . I tie mom iiwiinuice mat 1101 nierciy the living will profit by the provision of God's grace, but that "all that are lh their' graves shajl come forth" to J share In ni)d, to be. blessed by tho fa vorable conditions, which Ood will by ! i nnd by inaugurate. ! o.ue uiuie uKviiires luni me peuanj- for sin Is being experienced by hu manity at the present time tho death penalty and that the rcdeiiiptlou price of Christ's death Is snlllcient for the sins of the whole world.- It declnres that on account of this redemption, ultimately the resurrection of the dead shall take place "all that ate In their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth." It 13 be cause of the Divine Intention that there shnll be a resurrection of the deud that the Bible everywhere, both In the Old and New Testaments, speaks of those who have died, both good and bad, as being "asleep." and the prom ise is that "They that sleep In the dust of the earth shall awake." Nor will they come forth to similar conditions of sorrow that now sur round us nil. On the contrary, tho First Itesurrectlon Is to be composed of the holy, the saintly, and they are to be associated with their Redeemer us his Bride and Consort, to assist In delivering and restoring mankind, Later the Imperfect, who havo not had their full trial, the great mass of man kind, wlll.be brought forth, thnt they may learn the ways of righteousness, thnt they tuny learn to know God, and Jesus Christ, nnd In due time he up lifted out of tho conditions of sin nnd death. Then will come the time men tioned In our text. The Hereafter for the world. How Joyful Is the mes sage, "Tbero shall bo no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor dying; for the former things have passed nwuy." Ah. how different Is (Jod's proposition of a general uplift of the worthy nnd their assistance back to perfection to all that was lost in Adam. How different is this from the doctrines of demons," which have perplexed us, which have divided the Church of Christ into numberless sects und parties, and which have al most driven us from Christ nud the Bible. Ltfe. Not Immortality. Thus we see that God's provision In Christ for mankind la that each Indi vidual member of our race may yet. If ho will, attain to everlasting life through the merit of Christ's sacrifice, and through the operation of his King dom. Each may attain to all that was lost In Adam and redeemed at Cal vary; nnmoly, bunian perfection and Edenlc blessedness. But additionally, note the blessings which Ood has pro vided for the Church a spiritual bless- iug, u change of nature These are called out now from amongst men, that thoy "might he n kind of tirst fruits unto Ood of his creatures'' (James I. I81. These are to be a "royal prlosthood." associated with Christ, uow in the priestly work of sacrificing, presenting tholr bodies living sacri fices, holy and acceptable to Ood. which Is tholr reasonable service. And wheu the sacrificing shall be finished, j they are to ho Joined with Christ In ! the glories of hU Kingdom, and share with him In the work of blessing man-1 kind! Those are the "elect" who. in God's providence, shall by and by up- lift and bhMH the mm-elect. These are ! tho ones to whom will come tho prom- j tseu "gtory. nouor nuu immortality.
