God. The true, the real Church was composed of true believers, men and women who had been born again by the Spirit of God, and who, numbered among every section of so-called Christians— and some who were wholly unattached __made up In their wide-world entirety the true Church of God, the Bride of Christ.” “ And what,” asked Apleon, “ of the rest, the vast bulk of the worshippers at the various churches? What is their fate to be?” "God only knows!” replied Bastin. "Some, at least, have already sought and found God, or believe they hgye, even as I have sought, and believe that I have found God. But the vast bulk of the people already seem to be rollicking in a curious sense of non-restraint. I-remember some years ago, hearing a lady say that visiting the houses of one of the worst streets in Winchester, and speaking to the people as to their eternal welfare, she found one woman particularly hardened. To this woman she said: 'But, my dear sister, think of what it will be to be eternally lost* to be separated from God, and from all that is pure and good, for ever, and in a state and place which the Bible calls Hell.' And the woman laughed, as she said: ‘Well, there’s one thing, I shall not be lonely there, for I shall have all my neighbors around me, for every one In this street is on the same track\|L8 me.' ” A sardonic smile curled the full lips of Apleon, as he said: “ Poor deluded soul! For if there is such a place as that Hell, that underworld of lost souls of which your Bible speaks, and declares that It was prepared for the Devil and his angels, and that woman and her neighbors find them selves there, they will realize that hell, for its lost, is the loneliest spot in the universe, since each soul will hate the other and will live alone, apart in Its own hideous realm of anguish and remorse.” Lifting his eyes to his visitor’s face, as the latter deliv ered himself of this strange speech, Bastin was startled to note the expression on the handsome face. The eyes, unut terably sad for one instant, turned suddenly to savage hate, the mouth was as cruel as death, the eyes grew baleful, like the eyes of a snake that is being whipped to death. He was startled even more by the tones of his voice when he said: "And what of the Antichrist of whom you have spoken and written? Do you believe what you have written?” “ I most certainly do,” replied Ralph. Again the sardonic smile filled all Apleon’s face as he returned: "Then If all that you say and write be true, as regards the coming Antichrist, and you continue to wear the late editor's mantle when you write ‘The Prophet’s chair articles, how long do you suppose that that powerful super man, the Antichrist of your belief, will lei you alone?
