Holly Springs, Miss., /
Ang. 2*.Hh, 1859. I
l‘Ev. W. J. Scott,
Dear Sir:—According to the terms
of this discussion, which were, as vou
remember, proposed and written by
yourself, we were to write six letters
each, not exceeding two aid a half
, columns in length, in the “Sumpter Re
publican.” Jf 1 calculate correctly, 1
have, in my five preceding articles, cov
ered thirteen columns, while you have
covered fourteen. To me there remains
two columns for my closing article, while
i y>u have but one left. Although J
should like to fill several columns more
on this subject, yet 1 shall adhere to the
written terms, and shall expect a like
compliance on your part. To this you
certainly cannot object, inasmuch as, in
addition to an equal amount of space
with mvself, you have the advantage of
the closing ankle. The proposition for
a written discussion between us came
from you, and was accompanied bv the
proviso ihat it should not exceed six
letters of two and a half columns each.
I agreed to these terms with a full
knowledge of tlu fact that we could not
do the subject justice in such a limited
space; and if you are not satisfied when
you shall have occupied the space to
which you confined yourself and me. I
am willing to protract the argument till
you are tuily satisfied ; but if you are
content to adhere to to the terms, I have
no complaint to utter.
\ ou inform me in yovr s:h letter, now
before me, that in your 4th you “pre
seiUi and several objections to ih* system
of I’niversalism,” and that instead of
meeting and replying to them, I endeav
ored to escape their f>rce by terming
them out'ide issues. Your several
amounts to just three, all told. If our
first, that Christ knew the Jews believed
endless puni hmenf, and yet did le t con
demn it, 1 replied !•>. I>y givin<*. in an
swer to your call. i hapter an i verse in
which he condcmt ed ihe and ietrine of the
Scribes and Rlntnsees. I\ your second
that “l niver.-alism contradicts all that
class of passages that warn us against
future punishment,” I replied thut future
punkhrnerit might be true, aud yet end
less punishment be false. To your third
I also replied in terms quite brief, but I
very explicit. And yet you say that 1
“endeavored to escape the force of
them.” Let our readers decide. Your
mode of disproving Universalism would
be a singular one, but t<>r the fact that
the advocates of endless punishm-mt are
so hard pressed for argument in defence
of their ( heri-hed dogma, that they have
been compelled to render common a !
mode of argument which sets at defiance
all systems of logic, except that ci-le j
bribed system, of which no man is wil
ling to claim the amhorship, called chop
Imjic. Here is a specimen: Universal
ists deny the vicarious atonement; there
fore, the scriptures do not teach the final
salvation of all men. Again: Ini ver
sa! Gts deny the doctrine of the trinity;
therefore the scriptures do not t>iu-h the
final salvation of all men. Once moie:
Some Universaiists deny the doctrine of
future punishment; therefore, the scriD
tures do not teach the final salvation of
all men. When stripped of their ver
biage, this is really the sum and sub
stance of some of your arguments on
the negative side of the. question under
discussion. Between the premises and
the conclusion surely any one can see ‘
the connection, as they are joined by the [
word, therefore, and only separated by a j
semicolon. i
You cite passages to prove the final ex
clusion of’ certain classes from eternal life.
“I go my way and ye shall seek me, and
shall die in your sins, w hether I go ve can
not come,” is one of” these passages. You
show by italicising cannot that all the force
i of this text, m your mind, is in tie; expres- :
: sion, ‘ whither Igo ye c.annnot come.” In
John 13 33, Christ used this identical ex
pression to this di-ciples, calling their at
-1 tention to the fact that it was tie: same he
had said to Jews. When you save the de
ciples after this declaration to them, by the
same rule I will save the Jews. If none
are ever saved who have been guilty of any
of the sins named by Paul in the nth chap
ter of Galatians, then universal damnation ,
is true ; for no man lives who has not been
guilty of some of them. In 1 Cor. 0: 9, 10,
Paul pays: ‘Be not deceived; neither for
nicatois, nor idolaters, nor adulterer, nor ef
feminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God ;"’ and he
immediately adds: ’‘Arid such were some
of you. ’ Pretty Lard cases, were they not ?
‘‘But ye are wast ed, but ye are sancti
fied, but ye ate justified,” continues Paul,
“in the name of the L ed Jesus, and hv thk
spirit of opr Goo.” lie does not say a
word about the co-operation of the finite j
power of man, about which you wrote so
fervently in your first letter, with the spir
it of God. Paul was not a Methodist.—
The fact is, there were no Methodists till
1700 years after Paul’s day. Cannot the
spirit of our G<><l do for all drunkards,
thieves, idolaters, adulterers, etc., what Paul
says it did for those members of the Corin
thian Church ? No, say you ; they will
uot co-operate. “Who hath saved us, and
called with a holy calling, r.ot according to j
our woiks, but according to his own pur
pose and grace,’ says Paul, 2 Tim. 1 : 9
So much for co-operation. But I catniyt,
for want of space, notice your passages in
detail. You assume, without a particle of
proof; or even of argument, that certain
i passages make a distinction “in the final
I destiny of the righteous and the wicked
and assert in this connection that “there is
LO’ even the obscurest hint in the Bible of .
redemption after death.” Yon are so fully
bent on the destruction of Universalism,
that you expose your own system to anni
hilation at every turn. Read Hosea 13:,
14. “I will ransom them from the power 1
I of the grave; I will REDEEM them from
death.” No redemption alter death, eh V
I It strikes me it would be haid to redeem
|tlen fiom death before death. I cannot
i discuss it as a distinct proposition, if you
j htve a fancy for such h diseiosion. But
why do you misquote the first passage you
adduce in support of a general judgment ?
If the reader will road your quotation, and
turn to Heb. !) : 27,2S ;he will sec that vou
leave out one word, and then substitute and
for but , so as to change the meaning of the
passage. You assert that at this judgment
men shall lie reward-d according to their
deers. I sllirm that, you do not believe
this, and oflkr your own words in support
of the position. When I cll’.-red passag. sto
prove “that God will reward every man ac
| cording to hia deeds, ’ you said : “according
to the Bililc. ih-y teaefi that iu legal strict
ness, none will be saved.” You do not be
lieve then that any who arc saved will be
punished according to their wick -J deeds •
nor do you belove that those who are to be
dammed, at the general judgment, will be
rewarded for w-h#it good deeds they mav
havc performed. Do not ta k about reward -
irg all men according to their deeds, while
you hold these sentiments. One thing I
will say, which is that God declares that he
executes judgment in the earth. Jer. 9:
24 ; and you can Dot produce one sentence
from the Bible which save that he executes
it in eternity. I defy you to do iL
1 proceed now to notice briefly your ar
gument founded upon utonios. You say
that it is the adjective derived from uion
Exactly so. \ou aver that uion signifies
eternity, quoting Aristotle to prove it.—
j Why then is it used in the plural ? Arc
there eternities? I thought J here was but
one eternity. D:d you know, Mr. Sett,
that Christ affirms, more than once, that
a ion is to end? Is there any end to eleru
ity • Or is Aristotle, the heathen philoso
pher, better authority than Jtsus, the Sav
ior t Perhaps Christ was not a good Greek
scholar, aud did not understand the lan
guage he spoke; but 1 prefer him to Aris
totle, or Prof. Stuart, or even mv friend
Scott. A ion does not signify eternity, or
endless duration, Christ being authority.
Then the adjective, aionios, derived from it,
cannot express endless duration. No adjecl
tive can express more than the noun riots
front which it is derived. You can show
no instance : n which such is the ease. But
you admit that these words are sometimes
used in an accommodated sense, and do not
then express endless duration. What proof
have you ollurcd that they are not used in
an accommodated sense, when applied to
punishment ? None. Can you give sikii
proof? I think not. But we shall see.—
You say that these words express the whole
duration of the things to which they are rp
; plied. Canaan was given to the Jews for an
everlasting possession. Gen. 17 : 8. The
Jews exist*, and Cana-ui exist yet; but
they do not possess it. So here your asser
tion fails. But you quote and endorse
l*rof. Stewart's assertieu that, “Either the
Bible does not teach that God and Ins glory
are endless, nor that ihe happiness is end
less. or else it estab’ishes the fact that the
punishment of the wicked is endhss, Tne
1 whole stand or fall together.” But why,
Messrs. Stuart and So>tt? Why, be
cause these things cannot be established
without the use of aion and aionios. I
am going now to disprove this strong and
j erroneous assertion, by Prof, Stuart’s own
word- 1 , and by the words of God. Stuart
says just four pages before tho assertion
above quoted, I a< rn t that a G rek could
| convey the idea of eternity and eternal m a
variety ol ways; just as we can m English.
It is true, moreover, that the New Testa
ment wiiters, and the Septuagmf, have
conveyed the ideas in question, occasionally,
by the use of other word*, and bv peculiar
phrases.” What now becomes <4 the as
sertion you quote ? It is “gone glimmer
ing” toward tbe iecvpta .de of exploded er
rors. I‘rof. Stuart says here tnat the very
thing has been done, which yon and he say,
in the other quotation cannot be done.
But to the Bible. That is die umpire. In
1 Tim. 1 : 17, God ia called “the King eternal,
ill MORTAL.’’ What does immortal mean? It
means “exempt from death,” says Webster,
“having life or being that shall never end.”
This, you know, corresponds precisely with the
meaning ot the original word rendered irmnor- j
tal. If God is immortal, that relutes the as.-er
tion you quote from Stuart. His existence is
endless and proven so to be without tho use of
aion or aionios. But what of the happiness of
ihe future state? Peter says it is-“an inherit
ance incorruptible, undefiled, aud that fadctii
not away.” 1 Pet. 1: 4. If it can neither be
corrupted, nor fide away, it does not need won
nor aionios to prove it endless. “This mortal
must put ou immortality,” says Paul, 1 Cor. !
15: 54. Then we shall be undying, not sub
ject lo death. No need of aionios to pvrpetu- i
ate an immortal life. “Israel shall bo saved in 1 1
the Lord, with an everlasting salvation; ye 1
“hall not be n-hnmed n<>r confounded WOULD
without END.” Is.t, 45: 17. Slmw me such
uu expression applied to punishment as is here
applied lo the saved condition of J.snu 1, and
you convert me from Uuiversalism. You can- j
not do it. Bead Matt. 18: 8; 25: 41, 46; ‘
Mark 2: 29; Tins. 1: 9: Heb. 6: 2. and Jude 1
5: (i. Hero aie seven instances in which aion
ios recurs, and in which you contend it refers to ‘
future punishment. Yet you commit the blun
der of sayit giiis so applied FIVE times. You i
say aionios occurs 71 tiiuis in the New Testa
ment. S unn says it occurs 60 times. I have
not counted. Be careful about your stalemcut
of fuels. It d rvolves upon you. my dear sir, to
give a good reason why aionios signifies end
less, wbeu applied to punishment, which you
have, thus far, failed to do.
I have not contended that God is too merciful
to punish fiis creatures with endless misery. I
say 1c- is too just to do it. and you have made i
no effort to reconcile endle-s punishment with
his justice. Meet me ou grounds that I assume, 1
before you assail me ou a position 1 have not
taken. You profess lo notice some objections 1
I liavo urged against the doctrine o! endless j
punishment. Your notice extends to one which !
I have urged, and one which I have not urged,
as you state it. I have urged that., according
to your theory of the infinity ol sin, the: e are !
no grades in crime, and eons* cpientiy can bo j
none in punishment. I have shown this. I I
doubt no', to the satisfaction of our readers:
yet you cannot see the point of my argument.
It may be you have felt it. Examine your
glasses and see if the singular opacity of vision
of which you speak is not attributable to some
quality in them. They are Evangelical (?)
glasee c , my dear sir, sud hence you are pre
vented from seeing correctly any argument ad
vanced by a heretic. According to your notion
of degrees in Heaven and llell. bow much dif
ference will there be between the least saint in
Heaven, one of those very small onts, that vou
intend to have left in the outer court, and the
best sinner in Hell? Will not the best sinner
be nearly as happy asthe worst Christian? T am
fearful that some of those who are making
their arrangements to “stand nigliest to the
eternal throne, are descendants of an ancient
class who “loved the uppermost rooms at feasts,
and the chief seats in the synagogues, andgreet
irigs in the markets, and to be called of man
Rabbi, Rabbi.” These were the evangelicals
of Ghrist’s day, who said *of him: “Behold, a
man gluttonous, a wine bibbler, a friend of pub
licans and sinners.”
, You assert that Universalism is doing no .
yood, because in seventy-six years its ministry
fas only increased 650 fold. Why, my dear
sir. wo have on account ot a righteous man, •
and a preacher of righteousness, who.lived
several hundred years ago, and who preached j
the truth tor about 120 years, without making 1
NUMBER !2.
a single convert. Wo have succeeded better
thau he did, have we not? At the same rate
< f increase, we should have, in SO years more,
nearly half a million of preachera. Seventy-five
i years ago, you had G 1 preachers iu this coun-
Lr Y- If you have increased in proportion with
l ni versa data, you have now thirty-nine tliou
i sand six hundred and fifty, or about three lor
! every church you had in 1800. I have known
persons reformnd by Universaliat preaching.
I 1 hero is at y experience against Mr. Todd, and it
is worth as much as his.
\ou say Universalisin is positively hurt
ful to morals. I assert that Universalisis are
as moral as are your brethren, and, in behalf
of the Universalists of Sumter county and
the State of Georgia at large. I challenge
the comparison. No Universalist in the
State has ever been convicted of a capital
crime, that I ever heard of. Can you say as
much for the clergy of your own church,
leaving out the laity ? There are no Uni
versalists in your l’eniteuti&ry. Can you
say a.s much for your denomination? But
you ask how much of the morality of the
1 oiversalist town in Maine is due to the
Maine liquor law ? None. Did you not
prove by Montesquieu, about 30 lines before
you Bsked this question, that the belief in
endless punishment ‘ exercises such a control
over the masses that without it the laws of
are no force? ’ The gospel of Universnlisui
is the cause of the morality of that town;
lor the Maine liquor law is of no force there.
There are rtitnholes and pauj>ers in theArcm
;/elical towns in Marne; because there the
laws are of force. My prison statistics are
authentic, particularly that portion relative
to Ihe incarceration of 10, instead of 15 or
thodox clergymen in the State Prison at
Auburn, N. Y., not Sing Sing, as I stated
when writing from memory. But I advise
you not to comment on these things.
But I am forced to close lor want of room.
I must ask our readers to recapitulate the
arguments I have offered. I have not said
the 20;b part ol what I should love to say.
I should love to meet you, or some other
strong man of your church, face to face be
fore our readers, and talk this matter over
in a friendly oral discussion. My aim has
been to give you hard, arguments clothed in
mild yet earnest language. If I have drop
ped a word t! at you think harsh, I can as
sure you it has not been so meant. And in
parting with you, and our numeious readers,
I do so with the be3t wishes both for your
present and future welfare. I desire the
prevalence of truth, and truth ODly, if I
know myself. And may God prosper the
truth.

The Editorial Fraternity well know the
meaning of the phrase, and many a hard
earned dollar have they paid the compositor
for setting up matter ‘ just to fill up”—which
contained about as much interest to the gen
eral reader as a philosophic disertatiou on
thugs. A professed friend, who maybe takes
the paper and reluctantly pays two dollars
on the seventeenth dun, has, as he thinks,
valuable coal banks, iron ore beds or a pat
ent for same new humbug, and to sound its
glories abroad, takes himself to his pen,
writes a lengthy article, mainly noted for
its stupidity, puts on his bat, posts off to
the Editor’s sanctum, hands it over with
nirs, requests its insertion ‘-just to fill up,”
with the very modes', request to correct
spelling and punctuation, anti not forgetting
to make the more modest request to send a
copy here, a copy there, another to Jim, one
to John, and others round about generally.
Such is the impudence of some mer. And
attain, here is auother professed friend who
lias a little persoual affair to settle and to set
right before the public, and be straightway
inflicts upon the editor a three columner,
■just, to fill up, ’ written on both sides, il
lagibly at that, and “cusses” extensively be
cause the printer happens to make a few
errors and destroys ttie sense. Such is the
impudence of other men. And then a third
friend has his friend running for office, and
thinking to get a hone to pick, patriotically
manufactures an extended puff, hands it
over “just to fill up,” and then reads his own
puff from a borrowed paper, being too mean
and tight to subscribe and [iay for a year's
subscription. Such is another class. And
then the fourth friend, the devil take all
such, is he who has revenge to make on
somebody and not beiug manly enough to
come out and face the music, approaches
the Editor and tries to get him to pitch iu
with personal abuse, &c. Well, so the thing
works, and this “filling up” business is too
extensively carried on (or the publisher’s
}>ecuniary affairs. We have yet to find the
first merchant who will hand over a sack of
flour ‘ just to fiill up,” or tlie first lawyer
who puts a client through, ‘just to fill up.”
or the first Railroad company who receives
passengets ‘just to fill up.” No, this filling
up business is an imposition chiefly practic
al upon flie press, and simply because the
edict rules of value given and value received
re not carried out.
Thk Doctor Outwitted.—" When Dr.
Dodge, an eclectic physician, was lecturing
the State oil the laws of health, and particu
larly on the evils of tea and codec, he hap
pened to meet one morning, at the break
fast table, a witty son of Erin, of tlie better
class. Conversation turned on to the doc
tor's fovoritc subject ; he addressed our
Irßh friend, as follows:
“Perhaps you think that I would be un
able to convince you of the deleterious ef
fects of tea and cotfee
“I don’t know,” said Erin, “but I’d like
to be there when you do it!”
“Well” said the doctor, “if I convince
you that they are injurious to your health,
will you abstain from their use ?”
“Sure and I will, sir.”
“How often do you use coflee and tea !”
asked the doctor.
“Morning and night, sir.”
“4\ ell, said the doctor, ‘)do you ever
experience a slight dizziness orthe brainon
going to bed ?”
“1 do ; indeed I do,” replied Erin.
“And a sharp pain through the temples,
in and about the eyes, in the morning f”
“Troth I do, sir.”
“Well,” said the doctor, with an air of
confidence and assurance in his manner,
“that is the f< a and coffee.”
“Is it. indeed ? Faith and I always
thought it was the whisky I drank.”
T!:s company roared with laughter, and
the doctor quietly retired, lie was beaten.
Asa historical “personality,” it is related
that a young prince of the illustrious House
of Monaco was asked why he had married a
rich old woman. “ Ma fid,” was the gay
young Prince’s reply, “let me ask you what
a poor man in a hurry to get an enormous
hank note cashed troubles himself to look at
the date of it ?”
