SHOULD A GOD OF LOVE HAVE A HELL IN HIS UNIVERSE? (Continued from page 74)
Do you love what heaven hates or do you love what heaven loves? To put you in there loving what heaven hates would be to put you in hell. “Endless sin means endless woe. Into endless sin I go. If my soul from reason rent, Takes from sin its final bent,” : Take that in, friends. “Endless sin means endless woe.” If you do not repent of sin here, where it is a mixture of good and bad, you will not repent there, even if you had the chance, where there is only bad, where sin continues, and sorrow continues. My closing word is this. Jesus Christ on the Cross dying for man is God’s justification for hell. All the sacrifice that heaven could make has been made for your redemp tion. You reject it, you despise it. You, take the poison, and then demand of God that you shall not be hurt. You mingle with the contagious diseases, then demand of God that you shall not take them. You go down and down, demanding of God that you shall go up and up while you are going down. Your unreasonable and unrighteous de mands of God will not justify you. Christ on the Cross is the foundation of heaven and the foundation of hell. To reject Him is to make it right that you should go out into the dark to which you turn. To accept Him is to make it right that you should rise into the light and the character that He imparts. Will you accept Him? God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth”*—what a child can do, what the weakest as well as the strongest can do, and what is the index of a character, weak or strong,¡»-“whosoever be- lieveth.” Whosoever. That takes in you and the world. “Whosoever believeth should not perish.” If God had said, “Whosoever goes to the planet Mars shall be saved” it would not be unreasonable that anybody should be lost. If God had said, “Whosoever commits to memory the multi plication table should be saved” there might be some mem ories that could not do it. If God had made any sort of condition you might justify yourself in not being saved. But God made it so easy that if you reject, it is justifiable that you pass on down into the dark. God help you to accept Him, and have heaven here and hereafter. AMBASSADOR BOOTH RETURNS FROM AUSTRALASIA Mr. Herbert Booth, the youngest son of the late General Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, has just returned from a three and a half, years’ campaign in Australia and New Zealand, where his testimony has been greatly blessed to the conversion of hundreds of souls. Mr. Booth has also established what he terms “The Christian Covenanters’ Confederacy” which has for its object not only the defense of the great fundamentals of our faith, but the members pledge themselves to a life of separation from the world, meeting weekly for prayer, testimony and fellowship, regardless of denominational affiliations. Quite a considerable number of ministers have joined the movement. As the originator, Mr. Booth has taken the Scriptural title of “Ambassador” from 2 Cor. 5:20, “Now, then, we are ambassadors for Christ." Ambassador Booth’s address while in this country is “Robinlawn” Yonkers-on-Hudson, N. Y., where he is at present engaged in issuing a number of new books and preparing for the Fall and Winter campaign. “Hence, my soul, this instant yield. Let the light its sceptre wield. Whilst my God prolongeth grace, Haste thou toward His holy place.”
