Man's Nature and Destiny.
One of the striking signs of the present day is the recrudescence, the revamping of the old heathen cults, calling them by new names, as well as the persistence of the other old beliefs, upon which have been built the doctrines of purgatory, spiritism, universalism, eternal torment, etc. All these can not be true. Are any of them? Is the foundation true? Has man an immortal soul, a deathless spirit, something which survives all the ravages of sin and time? Our Bible-reading next week is on the nature of man and his condition in death.
