Is it said—may not men be punished after the resurrection from the dead? To this I answer, if the bible teaches this, let us believe it. Let the passages, which are supposed to teach it, be carefully and candidly considered. But, after all the care and candor I can bring to this subject, I frankly confess, it is not in my power to find this doctrine taught in the Bible. It frequently speaks of the hope of the resurrection of the dead, but never of any man's fear of it. It teaches, the dead shall be raised incorruptible, but never teaches, that men will be sinners after this period. On the contrary, it says, they shall be equal unto the angels of God which are in heaven. But it does not say, any of them shall be equal unto the devils which are in hell. What the Bible does teach, let us believe. But what it does not say, permit me to leave for those, who desire to be wise above what is written.

THE END.
