FUTURE PUNISHMENT.

Synopsis of a Sermon Bizrinj on Future Punishment, Delivered in th8 E. Church. Valparaiso, by Dr. Wm .* Graham, on Sundav Morning, j-

January 20th, 1878.

"And the »r I p-iwcd bv before him, and proclaimed,

Secondly, the rr.oral law ot God, revealed to man and written in tne Bibli by inspiration, binding us to our whole, duty to God, to oui stives and to 01 another. This law which God gav., in ep Home, from Sina, confirms the original law ot nature, and corrects our mistakes concerning the demands of the natural Uw written on our hearts. The moral law commends itself to the favor of every right-minded man's conciencc there is not a specification in that law which an honest natural concience will not approve. So that these 1 ws of God not only coiacidc and harmoniza one another, but they blind and are substantially one law, universally and perpetually bindin upon the wh le raccs of man.

Law, as a rule of conduct, implies intelligence and freedom. A law wculd be nugatory if it could notbe understood, or if those to whom it is given had not the liberty to comply with its demands. The Bible teaches that man may know the law ot God ii he chosses, and that he may obey it if he will. In short, that man is moral agent, which implies mtelligene,c liberty and respon sibility.

All it.e divine laws arc penal laws, that is, they arc enforced by penalties. They ar,- not mere maxims at the option their snhj^cts. God does not trifle with n-un, nrr will he be trifled with "Go 1 is not mocked." Every breach 0. bis law sin, and all

he Lord, the LorJ

God, me ciful iind graciou-, long suffering and abundant in odness and uth, keeping mercv for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means cl-nr the guilty: visitMj* the iniquity cf the f.itjiers upon the children, and upon tlie children's children, unto the third and to ihc: fourth generation.—Exodus 34:6,7.

It was from 'he flaming Mount of Sinia, wl.eu ihe Lord was in conference with Mosts, his ch sen mediator cf the law between himself and mankind and when he was engaged in submitting that law for tile government of man, that lie made the uiblim revel ition of '.he text. Moses, trembling on the elevation 01 his position as mediator, and implored the LorJ.

4'I

beseech thee, show nie thy

glory." The Lord responded: "I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee." Our text is that proclamation in God reveal* so much of hi} character as pertains to his dealings with the children of men.

The first question for us to consider, is the divine law. God vas subbmitting his law, and hn character as revealed is the basis of that law. A law is a rule of conduct. The term, however, has a very wide ranue, and is variously employed both in the Bible and in common usa^e. But for our preseut purpose we need riot cover the whole ground. With the "Law of Moses"'—so callci—which embraced the civil, ecclesiasticle, and ceremonial laws by which the jewish people were to be governed until tiie coming ot Christ, we have but little to do because those laws were restricted both as to time and to people. We are not "round by the Law of Moses, but we arc bound to Sina by the moral law there given—the tables of law—the Decalogue. There are two clashes of divine law which are universally and perpetually binding on the race

No one can evade, defy, override, or escape the consequence of these laws. First, the law of God in nature not those which gov. rn tlic material world, but tuch natural laws as govern moral agents. We mean the express on of our being, and is discovorable by the light of nauire. Tint which has sometime ben called, God's law written on the'.cart. The .u bier under this law is conscience, wnieh is continually being eftecttd bv mm'., in telationy. We bave a sense of riultl .tod of wiong independent of *rtieu law. even independent of the Bi'jle Man has a fee'ing of obligation so i'o ct. u.in thing-, and to reiruin f.oni naiu things-. Con science1 realizes aMigafon' feels responsibility, tnforces du y, and prophesies retribution and with more or les* cl :ar ness. This is the lfcw by which Goci judges the heathen wur'd ail who hae not the written l.uv of )J as Paul leaches in the first am) s.cond chapters of his lipistle to the Romans.

gression a.id disobedience receives a ju st recomi en.-^e of reward." In view of which Paul asks: '-How shall we escape If we n.-jilect so great a solvation?"

Some imagine that the gospel releasts us from law. There could be no more dangerous mistake. It releases us from tbc Mosaic law, becanse its mission accomplished but the gospel does not res lease us from the moral law. God does not hold the sinner to the "covenant of works" without mercy, for in that case he could neverba saved, .being already cmder condemnation. God holds us to the "covenant of grace" in Christ, whose atonement for 6in secures our testification. which we could not have obtained by the "deids of the law'' cwing to the state of condemnation in which ail sinners are. We are not released from the law, God cannot relinquish the claims of the law, but Christ meets those who claims of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." The antone— raent is a judical procedure, to meet the demands uf God's violated law for man. Paul tells us that Jesus was made undea the law, to redeem them that are under the law." And Jesus himself says: "Think not that I am came to destroy the law, or the phophets I am not jnie to destroy, but to fulfil."

Why s"ionld not man be under law to God, both in time and in eternity? The reign of law is universal,and a uni /ersal necessity. No state exists without a law society cannot exist without a law every institution among men has it9 laws.

Our text reveals the character of the Law-giver it not only announces his Being, but it unfolds his moral attributes shoeing us how he regulates hii^qnduct '"•V.sfaa'l not.attd&pt a

The following points, however, ar: fully sustained by it. That God assumes the position of a Soverign, with authority and the right to govern man. '4 The Lord, the Loid God —thti Self existing, the Almighty One. Having created man, God assumes a paternal care over him, and has submitted him to a righteous law fot his govern mer.t.

That disposition of toward man go xl. "Merciful and gracious, lorgsuffering, and abundant in goodnt'" and truth." lie is no "tyranf, 1 "monster,'' bat a father full oi" tenderness and love.

That God is forbeajing and forgiving. "Keeping mercy for thousands, fr ing iniquity, transgression and sin." Sovereign that would never oardon, would leave no hope for man but God is not such a Sovereign. It was his for bearar.ee that permitted the human race to survive the fail, under the provisions of redemption. And it is his long-suffer-ing that prolongs and extends the sii ner's probation, after he rejects the off of pardon through Christ.

That God i« nevertheless inflexibly just in his dealings with mankind. "And that will by no means clear the guilty.' An rinjust ruler could not secure confidence of his subjects. A perfect ruler, must be just, just to all, and just in all things It is because God is essentially just that he cannot pardon the sinner without the atonement of Christ. That atonement meets the claims^ of just ce. that "God is just, and justifie' of him that believeth in Jesus." Man is, however, a moral agent, and has the free choice to either cxcept or reject t! provision ofparJon made for him, but h'.' cannot escape the consequence* of his course. God'a love provided a ransom for sin, and his lova urges the sinner to accept that ransom bnt if the sinner will not, then God cannot save him, because God is just. The unbelieving sinner must be lost, because God cannot violate his own truth—"Go I can not lie because God can not be unjut to his own Son, by setting aside his atoning work because God can not be unjust to those who in gojd faith receive ChrNt, according to his own published terms, as the on'.y condition of salvation because pardon in that case could avail nothi.ig, scince the sinner has rejected the 01.ly means of regeneration, the atoning blood of Christ, which alone "cleanses us from all sin.

Now we are prepaid for some conclusions. It is conceded by all, except, materialists, that the soul is immortal by its nature. That the properties of iho^ght, reason, judgement, memorv, conscience, and will, are spiritual and imperishable. That the qualities of moral character, goodnessand badness, can not affect the being and duration of the immortal soul. The logical conclusion, therefore, i-, that mankind will continue to exi-,t somewhere and ins .me state forever. Nature it-elf teaches this, bv the institutions of all races of men on the ulobe philosophy teaches it, as it is shown even bv the pagan schools of Greece and the Bibli teaches it clearly-

God deals wi'h mankind according to law. God is not lawless, nor arbitrary, nor pa:t al, nor fickle he does not violate his own law, nor do^s he permit i's violation.

The gospel of salva!i.'»n is a clear expres ion of law. So far from dispensing with law, the gospel upholds it.

The punishment of sin, present, and future, rests on the demands of law and even o! natural law, outside of an_\ tiling taught in the Bibla. In proof ot this vou are referred to 'he intuitions ofmank.ifii', the law of God written on th,? heai t. Search through classicle litera'ure, examine the ancient tradegies, read th history of pagan leligion, and you will find thein full of future puuih:ii. i,t, or if you please of hell. But for the in ward conviction of a just punishment lor sin, there would be! nothing of these things This conviction in the heart is the significance of all the temples and shrines aud rites cf heathen worship. It is a convic ion of guilt that eads to severe rites, torture, self inflictions, and sacrifices, even of life. It is effort to reverse, the future doom which the natural conscience prophesies as hanging over the sinner. These historical facts a'e inexplicable on any other ground. God'.- law on the heart makes its demands, whatever the state of intelectual darkness mjy be.

And now we come face to face with the objections of modern skepticism against the Bible doctrine of future punihment. It would r.ot be fair to assume that these objections are not henest, but they are certainly flimsy, and surpiiseingly shallow. And first, we have lew things to sny about the much abused and much-neglected liible. The Bible does not create truth, it only reveals and proclaims what is already true things are :rue, not so much because they are fonnd in the Bible, but they are in the Bible because they are true. If there is anything in the Bible you do not like, you must not charge it on th* Bible, but on truth. The Bible does not make hell, it only te.U us how to keep out of it and we ought to love the Bible for that. Again, our Bible is a translation, and the ultimate standard of what it teaches must be found in the original Hebrew and Greek monuscirpts. True, our verion is sufficiently accurate for all needful purposes but when it comes t, criticism we should understand the origginial and it is unfair to judge the Bible by a transaction. The transactors oi king James' version were no more inspired men then are transactors of the Scriptnre into any other tongue. Besaid language and the meaning of words charge. For example, a villian once meant a feudal tenant, now it means a scoundrel rascal once meant a lean animal now it means a man without honor or virture. Scholarly thinkers never put much stress on mere words, it is the Uxidcrly truth they seek they care but little for the shell, it is the enclosed kernal they want. It is only the shallow that hawk terms about. When men try to find out what the Bible means by hell on philolopical grounds, they can prova nothing, because the etymological meaning does not correctly and ftrtly express the Scripture doctrine of helk We havfe plenty of blatany talk*rs about Schsal and bor, and hades, and Gehenna, and so on, not in search of the connection, are seek to cover the truth up. For illustration, can you prove the New Testament meaning of the word anggelos by its etymological import? Or can you explain the New Testament meaning of the word beptidzo used there in an altogether new phraise, by Its import in the classical Greek? Yet this, and similar follies are attemptea.

The Bible refers to the place of the future punishment of the wicked, as an gis'ing feet, just as it dogs of heaven,

and other places and it refers to the state of the lot as being completely wretched, just as it refers to the righteous as being happy in the future. And the Bible speaks of this punishment as hei. the result of wickedness, and the penalty of the divine law. This punishment is usually expressed in figurative language, the images being taken for the most part from various modes of death. Now. these figures are not to be interpretedliterally, that is not the design for which they are employed but the truth which they are used to express must be literally recieved. Let us illustrate. Jesus says:

I am the daor He does not mean an opening in a wall, h_* means that he is 1 he onlv spiritual medium of access to God and heaven. The truth is grasped, and the metaphor is dropped. The Savior represents a lost sinner as saying: "I am tormented in this flame." Not a material flame for that could not torment an uncmbodiei soul, bot the burning anguish of a guilty conscience. Then again, we grasp the truth and lose sight of the metaphor. We do not marvel that the sacred writeis, with the fate ot Sodom and Gomorrah fresh in their remembrance, should represent hell by a ".ake of fire and brimstone,"' for that was the exact figure so here again, we grasp the trurh represented, and drop the figure. It is not strange that Johu the Kevelator, whr lived under the r^ign of Nero and Domitian, when every conceivable fo of torture, cruelty and death were resorted to by those tyrants it is not strange that from bis x!le he should rtpiesent hell by many fearful images, ti it it is s'range that 6kep'.ics should fi.id the Bible hell in what are nothing mi.re than the images and representations of it. Heaven is represent ed in thu Scriptures by various images, much in the ame wav, Perhaps these giants, who are smashing the unimpor tant hulls of tr uh ll try their hand soon on John's celestial city witn its ja-.-per wa Is and gold-pa/e streets. Why don't they? Thev will find its de ption in close proximity with the fi -a alive representa'ions of hell. Tne »t-apos-talicciu'oh continued the use of th^se figurativs Irepresentations "of hell. Liter the cnuxh w.is paganized end then worsa corrupted under the Papacy during the middle ages.

With the Prpicts no hell was bad enough for heretics, and they delighted to intensify the Bible images which represented it. In the thirteenth centurv came Dante, Itally's greatest poet, who wove every grotesque image he could not fiud into verse. In the seventeenth century Miltcn fjffowcd in the same line with the very large peotic license. And it is from these epic poems, more than from Scripture, that many people git their ideas of heaven and hell. Read Dante, and Milion, and Pollok tor poetry: but read the Bible for truth. VVhatevir may be said of 'he hard featured system of Calvinism, whose divines, even down to President Edwards, pi cached lust ly a hell of literal fire and *p imstone, Methodism never understood it, that y. Nothing of that sort is found in onr standard works of theology. We Methodists believe, as we claim the Bible teaches, in a literal heaven, a literal heli real reward?, and real punishment in the future state. But we do not believe that heaven will be the literal city that Jjhn describes, we hope for something b-tter and we do not believe that hell will be a literal lake of fire and brimstone, we dread pomething rse. Rhetorically, ar.d figuratively we use these Bible phrases, and ofien to good purpose, bu' we do not literalize the images.

That the future punishment of the wu feed will be endless in its duration, is plain from argument already adduced. The soul is by its nature immort d, in whatever sta'.e it may exist. The ann halation of the wicked cannot be accepted, because it would bj a reflection on *he government of God. It would be e-auivel-ent to sa ing that God had tried to govern and mtrol his refactory subjects, and had failed, and at last has to kill them off to get rid of them. And annihilation would be a reflection on the goodness ot God, for from the instincts of life we can judge, that existence, even in the most wretched state, is preferable to extinction. And we know that this is not the divine plan from the fact that he does not annihilate the fallen angels they were lost before this world was, and vet tbey exist. But, mav not future puni'shmeu. be reformatory, so that the lost may be finally restored? If any one can show that a lost sinner, after neglecting salvation under a state ot grace, will do bet'er in a state of retrioution or, hov the penalty of sin can accomplish what the atonements of Christ could not or, how torment can change moral character, he it welcome to the discovery. But we would hint that the risk is greater th in ought to be ventured. What doe6 Scripture teach on this point? Take Matt. 16:.6. If Je»us does not mean that the lost soul is oeyond redemption, then his language means nothing. Take Mark 9:46. If that does not mean without cessation, then the language makes a false impression. Take Matt. 25:46 The Greek adjective—aionion—is the same in both clauses, and if the 6tate of the lost is not eternal, then the state of the saved is no: eternal. Take Rev. 14:11. If the phrase "forever and ever" does not express endless duration then it can not be expressed in language.

What is the nature of the future punishment, and in what does it consist? We can answer this question only in part, only on the ground of what we know of the divine law, and plain Bible reference. It will be conscious final separation from the favor ol God, and exclusive from his mercies. The conscious doom of endless punifhment, without hope. It will be the agony of unmititga ed shame, regret, sorrow, despair, and remorse of conscience. Death does not change moral character, and therefore the soul will go into eternity with the same passions, 1 sts and propensities to sin and corruption that it had here with what opportuni ties for gratification, we can not tell Excluded from the virtuous and love, ones, and present with the vilest and worst, must make hell a dreadful state. The Bible hell is the sequence of moral character. It is based on the sound maxim that character determines destiny. It is the harvest ot a misspent life. Wh^tsosver a man soweth that shall he also reap." No power in the universe can reverse, hat principle of divine law. Of course it follows, that the punishment of the wicked will vary with the variation of their character here that is a demand of jusitce, and God is just. And the scriptures teach this difference very clearly. No one will be punished beyond his iserts jast as no one will be rewarded beyond his deserts. The judge of all the forth will do right. :t h» been claimed that tfsrgoodness

of God is against the doctrine of future eternal punishment Some people ^em to know God better than he knows hirn self. God say6: "The wages of sin is death

4,The

soul that sinneth shalldio."

"The wicked shall4b« turned into hell," and so on. Let us believe what God himself says. Then we know that misery, as the penalty of sin.doos not cxi»t in the world, and has so existed for thousands of year*, without impugning the goodness of God. And so it may continue world .without end.

A PUZZLE FOR THE JURISTS. While overhauling a file of old papers published in the e*rly part of the present century, I cam« across a curious legal ca e. reported in full, and copied from a Stockholm publication. In brief the case was as follows:

I'he wife of a poor peasant, who owned a small bit of land upon the edge cf a vast forest, was taken sick with fever.and died. The husband superintended all the arrangement^ for the funeral. The bodv of his dead wife was exposed to the view of tht few neighbors for a sufficient period, but at the last moment the peaant secretly removed the corpse, and pat i.i its placfc a log of wood, waich was buri with all due solemnity.

The neighborhood was infested by ravenous wolves, and the poor man had preserved the body cf his wife to te used as a decoy for the wild beasts, upon which government had fixed a liberat bounty for all destroyt-d. And the body was taken into the forest and there used as a decoy for the wolves, by which means a larye number of them were killed, and nmong them were two monstrous animaisthat had long been a terror to the owners of sheep and goats in that district. ,.f*.

The circumstances came to the knowledge ot the authorities, and thev felt ca ed upon to move in the matter. TNpeasant wa« prosecuted, and brought fore the court for trial. He plead that he had conversed with his wife upon the subject when she knew she was dying, but before her senses had failed her, and she had consc-ited to the scheme

The most-miiu nt jurists ofthe realm became interested, but they could find no law under h.'c'i le r.i .n could be convicted of crimf. Finally the peasant was ?et at liberty, and the bounty for the wolves he had e!a paid to him, but at the instigation ot" the king, Gustavus Adolphus, to whose attention tue subject was brojught, a new law was enacti d. making ita criminal offsnce t. desecrate the dead of a human family in ariv *uch w«v or manner
