Which Is Right?

By H. M. V. S.

In Manford’s (Universalist) Magazine Jan. No., page 40, is the following: “One that is dead knows more than we all living know; the dead know the dread we should feel at anything so strange as that they should come to us; the dead are better than we all, and so they do not come.”

Job 14: 12 says, “So man lieth down, and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. Psalms 115: 17: “The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. Ps. 146: 4: “His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.” Eccl. 9: 5: “The dead know not anything,” etc. Which is right?
