RECENTLY, both in pulpit and press, there has been considerable discussion of the actuality of both heaven and hell, and among other opinions expressed was one by a man of great prominence, from which we take the following excerpts:
In the present day no educated person believes in a hell. This declaration will no doubt be publicly disapproved by some rather archaic ministers and also by some editors of religious papers.
The fear of a hell has not proved effective to deter men from wrongdoing and heaven has never yet been described in terms very attractive to the average man or woman. Both are indeed unimaginable.
