The Destruction of the Wicked

By Editor

THE Christian at Work says: "The bare thought that millions upon millions of our fellow-creatures—no matter for what cause—are going headlong to a perdition filled with torments, physical or mental, that shall know absolutely no end, overwhelms the serious soul not only with dismay, but with every ingenious device of interpretation possible in order to explain away the meaning and force of the scriptural texts that teach it." But what a pity that "every ingenious device of interpretation" is so readily accepted "to explain away" the force of the Bible, where the plain truth that "all the wicked will God destroy" is rejected with scorning.
