The Gospel for Hardened Criminals

A minister in the East, according to a newspaper, believes that criminals, second offenders in crime, ought to be put to death, chloroforming not being best even to imprison, he says, and put to the expense of supporting them. Put to death. All that we have to say about this, is that this preacher is not a minister of the Gospel. That is "the power of God unto salvation." It is a cure for all, even hardened criminals. All that he advocates is a mere worldly philosophy.
