The | most horrid of il doctrines referred to onthe other side | was that God threatened our first parents with eternal misery. Mrs Rose came forward to explain. (Hisso» )—I be- lieve that I did not say that God tbreatened Adam and Eve with penalties heesfter. I msde no such allusion atall.

I ndmit that theologians have taught su adectrire, professing to uederstand the Bible, and she may have ruppesed that theologians onght to kaow whether the Bible taught it or not; but theologians in these days may be as mistaken as other men ia regard to these things. I take the position that there is no:a | rolitery expression in the Bible that countensnces the | theological notion of hell. Now, what is the theo- logical netion cf hell?
