With bod’*’ mark on my brow, bo that no tnihn should slay me, a wanderer o’er earth’s surface, I sought death as a relief from that misery and though I toiled and sought it from year to year, it came not until age had en feebled my frame, fi tends had de- sorted me and I died alone with God. Year by year in all the ages I have been hero, the dark black an guish of my soul has become darker and now none feel this hell so much save the fiend of hell himself. But oh! lost soul, if I had only heard of the Saviour you have rejec ted, I would have accepted Him and found peace and pardon. He told those of Cajiernauiu that it would be more tolerable for Sodom in the day of judgement than for that pit; wiil it „ iliuaqed l>eft any knowledge was in the woi you h iv e sinned deliberately agaii light and knowledge.” The groans cease and the anguished spirit de parted from me, and again came before me the opportunities I had neglected. The often calls of con science, had stiiled into quiet The prayers, tears and entreaties of those I bad loved on earth; nntil the very flumes en which I rested seemed a bed of roses, in comparison with the mental agony which swept over my souk No hope! not one ray of hope, that r.t some time in the far, far, future, I would he purified and relieved from this dreadful torment. Oh ! the horror of that hour. Then ,-i^puMM-YaM.r aw*. l**u, you „-fairb reeo f! through yoor own hearts. Fonly very arehcB ofH left yon to yourselves, and as the God of Heaven strove from year to year to draw yon to him. In your human wisdom you thought only of your own pleasure, and thought that in time you would turn to Him. But time the treasure has gone, lost to you forever, Oh ! how I hate yon for you were made in God’s image and I hated and strove with Him, ere the morning stars sang together. But you are mine now, mine, through all eternity, the hate I feel for Him shall be spent on yon. I hate yon more because you came here by your own will. I had no power so long as you trusted in Him and helcived on the Son of God. Realize the hatred I feel for you, and as the weary, weary ages of eternity roll on you learn to hate your God as Ido. Yes hate and blaspheme that God who waited so patiently for you, But these cries were stilled into silence by the heart rending anguish of those cn the left, who saw their loved ones with them. And they now realized that by llieir e.\; tuple and pre cept, the}' were lost forever. Faith less, worldly Christians, saw thd young whom their course had do destroyed. Father’s and mothers were there who saw their children were lost by their precepts, examples and carelessness. And uo such an guish WUs ever seen in the deepest depths of hell, as was there, before that vast assembly. For then was given the power to “ know as they were known” to “ see as they were . seen.” All saw that the doom of the damned was just. A thousand ex» cases framed on earth were as until ing in that dread day. Then Use voice of Hi n that was slain, spoke to those on life right, “Come ye bles sed of my Father, inherit the king dom prepared for you from the fo il - elation of the world.’’ To those on his left, and though Ins words were full id 4 woe, he Mraed* as if he yean- ed over iib, eveil Would have saved us if it had ; lied possible; to us he said: “ Departye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for ihc devil and his angels.** Then that power which not even the hate of hell couM resist, forced jost sonls from his pfc>ei ce; As I Avho strove so hard to makd yon love Him, who gave you ai much of earthly happiness, who more than alt gave his Son to die that all your sins might be easily pardoned.’^ Yes hate him. Then you shall be fit corn- company for the devils of hell. Fit company do I say, and yet what devil in all my wida dominions had such opportunities as you have? What fiend was ever pointed to a bleeding Savior, able and. willing to blot out all liis sins. Wiiat - devil in all hell, haa tre ited me their Lord and Master with the neglect and scorn you have exhibited to yours? Not one. Yon are worse than the very devils, away, back to the very deep est depths of hell; you have sinned against all light and knowledge ; you have rejected, when even devils ‘ be lieved and trembled.’ And with those w i>rdn the very waves of flame seem ed to mock and leap over ns, and down, down we sank into more rin* utterable woe, and the dark vaults of hell resounded with groans of agony, wrung fiom souls, who felt the truth of Satans words. I took no note-of time, each moment seemed an age of agony. The lost time in life was ev er before mo, and all its opportuni ties, ever and ever. I would see ; as the flames waxed hotter, I heard j light above from the pearly gates, al- was but time shall be no The firmament and earth were wrap- |>cd in fire and smoke and in the midst of this dire seet.e, Hell’s in most chambers gaped and from them came the damned souls of many a thousand years, who with the speed of light, yet all unwillingly were driven to the presence of their Maker. Countless My raids were- before that awfij throne. Unbroken silence was over all that vast assembly. Many were there arrayed ip robes made white by the blood of the Lamb. Bnt oh, the countless millions who stood confused, abashed, confounded m that august presence; Their robes were soiled with sin, cursings, and revilings, drunkenness and mur der. But oh 1 our sins are blacker than all others, covered us is with a pall of blackness, and while no letters were written, each could read on his own soul, as if t raced in lines of living light, “ rejection of Chris:.” This at last was the sip of all sins, the sole cause of our damnation. With Christ accepted, all sins no matter how deep their dye, were blotted out and remembered no more. With Christ rejected, no deeds of love, no acts of mercy, no actions of our lives were acceptable to him. And as we in wonder-and awe looked, w c saw the Lamb of God on the right hand of the Father, with his bleeding hands and gaping sides. With the trickling blood beneath his jrown of thorns. As we remembered his groans of unut terable anguish \vhile a on Calvary’s summit, and knew that all this was for us. We turned to flee back again to the deepest depths of hell, that ibis last agony should not come upon our overburdened souls. But the power we could not resist, held as before the judgment se>t. Then that voice which I had heard once before, commanded our separa tion right and left. We knew but too well our stations, and esicii with scarce an effort stood as commanded. Then wails of irrepressible anguish went up from those on the left as they saw the separation from many they lud loved on earth, and i-n«, n :: was eternal. ^niiiiged dowuwaf.l8, glad Ulescape more.” reproachful presence, I'.heard the voice of 3:itan cry, “ ye fiends of he 1,’* wherefore do you fly. ‘Now conies the age, the last, the only time when by one mighty effort, yoffi may wrest, heaven from the hands uf “Jehovah.” But as they turned to obey bis bidding, tbe mighty hosts of heaven rushed upon them, and threw them each in dunking chains from the battlements of heaven. And as our dark forms passed through space these bright angels like streams of living light followed and scourged the fiends with tho lightnings of God’s holy wrath. Driven through the gates of hell, a terrible throng with which to spend eternity. I heard the clang of tho closing gates, and knew that they were sealed for the countless ages of eternity. In utter agony ot souJ> I strove against my fate dashing myself against the hard fastened gates, I shrieked in very woe. Then I woke, my limbs in agony of pain, the cold sweat of hciror my brow, my whole body weakened l»v the mental strain. But my heart wa- filled with gratitude to U>«1, that this was all a dream. And as the bright light of the Holy Sabbath morning beamed in my room, with streaming tears of repentance pouting down my face, with my gentle ami loving w ife, I knelt and uttered words of deepest self-r.ba-en.rnt, penitence, and suV.h mission to God’s holy will. Then hi my heart there mine that thrill of j-y, whirl' pan ' e fell but once until we pass through the pearly gates in* to the city and Temple of our God# My carelessness gone; my coldness warmed by the kindly love whiib had sent this warning dteam- That Sabbath morning, which shall be the brightest to mo of all life’s journey, as I look back from tbe ages of eter nity, saw ina with bumble thankful heart give r.p all f >r Christ.
