HELL AND HEREAFTER
DEAN INGE AND BISHOP INGRAM
LONDON, Ist December Two celebrated ecclesiastics, Dean Inge and the Bishop of London, expressed their views on hell during Advent Sunday sermons. Dean Inge, at St. Paul's, deprecated the ghastly pictures of hell which filled Christian literature. He said that the .Roman Catholic Church attempted to solve the problem by the introduction of purgatory, which was a plausible theory. Modernist Protestants really believed in purgatory, not in hell. He wouJd be the last to wish to revive the terrible symbolism -f hell torture, but there was a great danger to-day of entirely banishing fear. The Bishop of London, at Westminster Abbey, said that it seemed certain that there were passages in St. Matthew attributing to our Lord things which He never said. The pictures of roasting souls made more atheists than anything else in the world. When self-will ceased boll ceased, because self-will was hell. He added that although a death occurred in London every eight minutes, it was the hardest thing in the world for the majority to roalise their own cud must eventually come.
