SATAN labors, and with great success, to deceive mankind into the idea that the adoption of one sin or vice is pardoned, or at least excused, if they refrain from others. In this way did he work upon Herod, who, though living in incest with Herodias, yet was very tender and scrupulous about an oath—"Nevertheless, for the oath's sake." O, what a conscientious king!
A P P O I N T M E N T S.
Conference at Lapeer.
We learn that brethren Bates and Cornell have appointed to hold a conference here October 26th, 27th and 28th for this part of the State, for which we feel very grateful, and would extend a cordial invitation to all in the blessed hope. We desire and expect to see a large gathering. Those who can, and feel it a privilege, will come in part prepared to care for themselves. Be assured we shall do the best we can to make you comfortable. On account of the loss of our meeting-house, we have obtained the use of the court-house.
Brethren and sisters, come one, come all; and come with praying hearts that the Saviour's promise may be secured, and the Lord pour out a blessing such as we never before enjoyed.
In behalf of the church,
WM. S. HIGLEY, JR.
GEORGE WRIGHT.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
By Editor
The edition of the Hymn Book is exhausted. We have none of any kind on hand except Supplements. Brethren will therefore please not order Hymn Books, Supplements excepted, until further notice. A new edition will probably be commenced soon. To those whose orders have been received since the edition was exhausted, we would say that we will return them their money, or appropriate it to some other purpose, as they may direct.

Bro. J. A. Wilcox requests us to state that he has recently removed from 296 Pearl St., N. Y. City to Brooklyn, No. 1 Way Home, opposite No. 174 Gold St., where he would be happy to have the brethren call on him.

To Correspondents.
By Editor
O. H., of Ohio: The Spirit of Christ we understand to be a gracious influence imparted to us by Christ. We can be subjects of it only when alive. If any man asks you what becomes of this Spirit when a man dies, ask him what becomes of the air a man breathes, when he dies.
S. R. Twist: In answer to your inquiry, see article, "Was Moses Literally on the Mount. of Transfiguration," which is this week re-published from REVIEW, Vol. xii, No. 23.
Spurgeon on Eternal Torture.
By Editor
REV C. H. Spurgeon of London, in his sermons, published 1856, says: "The angel, binding you hand and foot, holds you one single moment over the mouth of the chasm. He bids you look down, down, down! There is no bottom; and you hear coming up from the abyss, sullen moans, and hollow groans, and screams of tortured ghosts. You quiver, your bones melt like wax, and your marrow quakes within you. Where is now thy might? and where thy boasting and bragging? Ye shriek and cry, ye beg for mercy; but the angel, with one tremendous grasp, siezes you fast, and then hurls you down with the cry, 'Away, away!' And down you go to the pit that is bottomless, and roll forever downward—downward—downward—ne'er to find a resting-place for the soles of your feet." Page 313.
"But in hell, there is no hope. They have not even the hope of dying—the hope of being annihilated. They are forever—forever—forever lost! On every chain in hell, there is written forever! In the fires, there blazes out the words, forever! Up above their heads, they read, forever! Their eyes are galled, and their hearts are pained with the thought that it is forever." Page 314.
NOTE.—In contrast with this we have only to remind the reader that the Bible says of the wicked simply that they shall be burnt up root and branch, be destroyed, consumed, and be as though they had not been. Whether Mr. S. has not transcended the representations of the Bible, on this subject the reader can judge for himself.—ED.
