Alfred I, Ritchie, a Bihla student of wide reputation in the United States and Canada, declares that everyone goes to Hell. Mr. Ritchie has some interpretations on the Bible that ap- pear sensational and along a new line. In an interview recently ae gave out some interesting infornmtion regard- ing various prominent Bible subjects that require more them ordinary enn- siderution to obtain their fnil meaning. “I have a new cure for infidelity.” declared Mi. Ritchie. "To prescribe the remedy We must find the cause, Which I believe is the inability of the people to understand how a God ”of all Love and W’isdom and Justice, and having all Power, could permit pres- ent conditions and conduct human af- fairs as proclaimed by the dominant creeds of Christendom.

THE BIBLE GLORIFIES GOD. “The Bible taken as a whale pm- 5:51le no such idea of our blessed Heavenlv Father. but; praised, glori~ fies and exalts His holy diameter. And so, when understood, it will be as natural for average human beings to emulate, love and praise God as it has been in all human history for them to worship as leaders and heroes those who have shown greatness of character, either in power or wisdom or benevolence. When rightly shown the character of our God will compel the admiration and loyalty of the masses infinitely more than the char- acter of a Caesar, or 3. Napoleon. or an Edison. or a Rryan, or a Roosevelt. W'hat is the reason that the character of God is so little reverenced. that the Holy Name of Himself and of the Saviour are made the commonest “cuss” words? \Ve answer that it is because His character is blasphemed by the erroneom “Hell” teaching of Christianity. “Only sixteen out of the sixty-six Bible books use the word “hell." in the English translation. St. Paul wrote fourteen books of the New Tes- tament, but never mentioned “hell fire." John never mentiond in his Gosâ€" pel, nor in his three Epistles; nor did Peter in his two Epistles, nor Ruth, Ezra. Nehemiah, Esther, Jeremiah, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Haggai” Zecha- riah or Malachi. Strange that all these holy'Apostles and Prophets did not harp upon the danger of falling into that “lake of fire” which is sup- posed to be the doom of billions of humanity! “Sheol is translated twenty-nine times as-“hull,” three times as “pit:” and thirty-three times as "grave.” In the revised version, “shed” is trans- lated as “hell” only about twenty times out of the sixty-five times, and its Greek equivalent, “hades,” occur- ring eleven times in the New Testa- ment. is not translated as “hell” at 311. but is left untranslated, because the Bible revisers knew it did not mean eternal torment. “N o Wonder that men turn away in disgust, full of fear and doubt! No wonder that church pews are empty and no one seems to care ? No wonder ihat hundreds of thousands are infi- dels, or fast becoming such ! The sure. the only cure, is to get, a. knowledge of God’s true character, for to know Him is to love Him. With present- day Bibles, Bible Helps. Concordances. Bible Dictionaries, and Studies in the Scriptures, no one need be in the dark.” “Well did Pastor Russeli, of Brook- lyn, N. Y.. Tabernacle say. ‘If the Bible does teach that. eternal torture is the fate of all except the saints. it should be preached, yea, thundered, weekly. daily, hourly! If it does not so teaeh. the fact Should he made known. and the foul stain dishonoring God’s name removed! I understand afree copyof his pamphleL.

NO \VORK IN SHEOL. “Solomon said, There is no work. nor device, nor khowlekge in aheul,” nndhe adds, “whither thou guest.” Why? Because all in Hell are dead. Referring to the resurrection. the Revelator says “Death and Hell (marginal reference reads "or the grave”) delivered up the dead (not the living) which were in them.” “Everybody goes to Hell. Why? Because Hell is the grave, or death condition to which good and bad alike go to remain until the blessed time of resurreciiou, judgment, and restora- tion to perfection of all the obedient. The Hebrew Word slieol is positively the only ‘thell" word in the Old Testa- ment. Its Hebrew definition is the unseen state. or the place. of the dead.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT CONN. ronto, as he entered the Walkerton jail one day last week for the purpose of removing another unfortunate to the asylum. Continuing. the officer dwelt on the freqnecy of his visits to Bruce on the sad and peculiar mission of conducting lunatics to the asylum. And the fact that there were no less than three insane prisoners in the cells of the Walker-ton jail as he spoke, and all of them were waiting tranpor- cation to the lunacy joints showed that his visits were not likely to de- crease in the immediate future. In- stead. however, he had two more trips ahead of him before the jail sup- ply would be exhausted. and there was also the hmrible possibility that many might come'in before the last lunatic went out.

Everything seemed to be going along satisfactmily and nothing unus- ual was noticed Tuesday until Mr. \Viddis discovwed Dunn in.a semi- conscious condition in the barn with a wound in his throat caused by a jack- knife which la y nearby covered with blood. The fact that the. knife was dull possibly accounts for the rash act not having terminated fatally. The wounded young man was hurried to the local doctor at Conn. who after rendeaing first aid to the injured pass- ed the patient on to Strathcona Hos- pital, Mt. Forest. where recovery is looked for. It is not known. so far as we have heard.
