"HELL" AND THE BIBLE.
SUGGESTED DELETION OF A "HIDEOUS" WORD.
By Tekcraph—Press Association—Copyright London, September 15. Dr. Walter Walsh, of the Thoistic Church (minister of tho Gllfillan Memorial Church at Dundeo since 1897, and a well-known student of municipal questions), advocates the elimination of tho word "hell" from the Bible. American revisers, ho says, liavo already expunged it from the Old Testament, and British revisers had explained that it did not mean a place of torment. Of twenty-three cases in tho New Testament, ten represented mistranslation of the word "Hades." If future revisers refused to translate "Gehenna" as hell, a hideous word would bo swept out or the Bible.
