ETERNAL TORMENT.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib, —I was hearing Mr Bunn preach, in the Wesleyan chapel, on Sunday night. We had it rather warm on eternal torments—it was near red hot. I thought that he was rather personal, as no questions are allowed at those places—they hare it all their own way—or I should have liked to have asked him two questions— one was: Does punishing a finite crime with an infinite punishment make God just ? Is there any proportion between the crime done in time and a punishment that never ends ? The other question was: If the wicked be punished with everlasting death, does that mean everlasting life in torments; when they are eternally dead are they atill alive and enduring misery ? —I am, Ac, J. Hobn.
April 23rd, 1878.
