McCles keys views views as to the geographical H tion and general torture equipment of hell as follows WHERE HELL IS LOCATED I 1 t 1 I think hell is in the centre of some distant dark stationary star or world in space and the adf awful ua I 1 r crimson conflagration of that S great day daya will not burn it up 5 and as the avalanche of damned demons and hum human an beings from the t judgment strike its gate the gate will open and dimit them all to its f dark central abyss which will then be sealed of god for eternity shut up in in hell for eternity are satan his dem demons orts and the damned r jesus christ says that in hell is t a lake of fire a lake of thick H hot W water ater thickened with brim stone and salt I 1 think how horrible how soul chill aing ing t the he though 0 tl A

break a soft gray light daybreak in hell the first and the last the light hot seemed to come fr from the roof of hell then it fell till all hews hells objects as far as their eyes could behold were discernible and then hor horrors the king of ter bors the devil was seen up gp the shore of hell forty forcy feet high wrapped w aped in dark glistening robes from fro M waist down clown his cloven foot extending from beneath these dark robes above his robes his naked body of changeable lights shining his tremendous muscles standing out ont and the body like an enormous mans save his black pointed wings folded and hanging banging from his shoulder points and oh his fierce fiendish face three feet broad square forehead cove covered t with black bushy hair wil with fire re dripping from it across his awful fierce face immense black oblique eyes are his shooting forth hellish rage toward his subjects and there he stood satan the great devil the prince of the power of darkness in the sixth chapter the clergyman comes back to M miss iss dancers painful personal experiences in the undesirable place of abode above described and says says that as a preliminary to alun plunging 91 i ng her into the flames as a punishment for having gone to a dance instead of a revival meeting she had a tantalizing dream of her home and friends on earth then in chapter VII mr mcclaskey gives some heretofore unmentioned facts with reference to the chemical composition of hell fire as follows SALTED WITH FIRE some people will dare to say there are no material fires in hell ah what a mistake ad stake helps hells fires are re more material than earths fires in in that they have one more material element added that of salt christ said in st mark ix 49 for every one shall he salted with fire and hence while these horrid hell fires have all power to burn terribly inflicting fearful bodily torture torture they at the same time preserve against consumption and thus do they burn and preserve throughout eternity and thus are the wicked salted with fire and now again we enter hell and there is the burning lake heaving surging and moaning and hells faint gleams shooting from the lake are giving forth a dark red light I 1 here is richard Rum seller lying iving on the black shore of hell about to be salted while onearth on earth and in georgia he enticed mothers sons through his barrooms bar rooms into hell his power is now all gone he poured burning rum mm down their poor throats and now he is about to be tossed into the burning lake his demon has him there he goes I 1 and he strikes the thick hot waves but he cannot sink he squirms he screams he weeps like a baby his quivering 0 form crackles aud and then he f faints from burning pain his demon drags him out and then rubs him with the same thick fiery salt water until it restores him to consciousness and as he lies there richards attention is attracted by some one across the lake I 1 of hell who is calling his name nam e a pale faced druja drunkard kard boy he sent to hell and now the boy caring calling him by name denounces Rum seller across the waves of hell as the author of his damnation then another recognizes richard Rum seller as the man who sent him to hell and another boy and another and another until a chorus of denunciations and reproaches ringi ring R through hell and settles in Rum sellers ears until the smoke of his torment and remorse remore begins to ascend up forever from his hia fired brain and heart but just then his hir personal deva lays hold of him again and pitches him again into hells lake for fresh strength and fresh torture and this is repeated again aad again and goes on and on and on forever and this is hell fore forevermore new york world |
