He then showed that ministers, "| without giving their authority, now tell various tales about Hell, modi- fed to ruit our more refined feel- ings. Soize have it with a slower fire, not so red-hot; others bave it merely a place of mental remorse. in this they follow to some extent Dante's pictures of Purgatory, al- though rot calling it by that name or admitting that there will ever be telease from it. They declare that there is nothing in tbe Bible about Purgatory, and forget that there is nothing there about their kind of Hell, the Bible Hell being totally different. The Rich Man In Hell, Etc. The Pastor then referred to the parable of The Rich Mam and Laza- tus as one seized upon to prove that Hell is a place of torture, etc. He could not digress to diecnss this parable or thé two figurative state- ments in Revelation which are used to bolster the doctrine of eternal torture. But he offered free of charge a booklet making these figur- ative statements clear.

Suddenly there was a sound coming from behind which both knew to be from an autoéar whose driver was gaining power for his machine by cut- ting off the muffer. The woman, yielding unconsciously to the instinct of relylng on a man for protection, was about to relinquish ber grasp on the wheel to throw her arms around her companion when, see- ing ber design and not being ln posi tion to steer the car himseif, be ad- monished her sharply. "Hold on fur your life!"
