EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE VIEW “Everlasting Punishment” was the subject of the lesson-sermon in First Church of Christ, Scientist, yesterday. The golden text was from Lamentations iii., 39, 40: “Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.” Among the citations was the following from the Bible: “Thy own wickedness shall correct thee, and they baekslidings shall teprove thee; know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of Hosts.” The lesson-sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science Textbook: “The design of love is to reform the sinner. If the sinner’s punishment here has been insuflicient to reform him, the good man’s heaven would be a hell to the sinner. . . . Divine science reveals the necessity of sufficient suffering, either before or after death, to quench the love of sin.”
