LAKE OF FIRE IS DENIED

Rev. David Hugh Jones Tells Evanston Congregation Puniahment of Bin la Within. Evanston. —“There is no lake of fire, no bottomless pit and no eternal damnation,” declared Rev. David Hugh Jones, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church of Evanston, in a sermon. He asserted that the punishment of sin is within and not without, being the result of natural Iswb. “God is too merciful ever to Inflict punishment in cold blood,” the clergy, man said. "We are here to work out our own salvation. The Creator has given us five senses, and If we misuse and impair those, all good things are forfeited. The fool has said In his heart there is no God, and to him there is no God; the liar says there is no truth, and fpr him there is none; the libertine says there is no virtue, and for him there 1b none. Shi Is selfinjury and man' is his own hangman.”
