In the course of his sermon in the Church of the Divine Paternity, on "The Sermon on the Mount, and the Idea of Heaven," Rev. Dr. Charles H. Eaton took exception to some printed reports of his sermon on "Hell," in which he was reported as having said that hell existed only in this world and this life.

"No man can say," said Dr. Eaton, "that hell is confined to this world. It might as well be said that God is confined to this world. Heaven and hell are in the soul of man, and wherever he lives in accordance with the law of God, he will find heaven, and wherever he disobeys that law, he will find hell.

"In the spiritual view, death is of no consequence. It has no reality. God is the God of the living, and not of the dead, for no man can die.—N. Y. Journal.
