and, hence, that all the passages cited above point us rather to the extinction of personal existence than to a state of penal suffering. Several instances may, no doubt, be produced from the word of God which seem at first sight to favor this opinion. But if we narrowly ex- amine those expressions which set forth the fu- ture condition of unbelievers, it will be found, we suppose, wholly untenable. For (1) the wicked are said to be... in torment. This fact is almost always indicated, as if it were the char- acteristic feature of their condition. Now if fire were in these passages an emblem of de- struction, the accompanying terms would be al- most certain to adjust themselves to this leading idea, and thus place it in the foreground. If virtual annihilation is to be the jmnislwient of sin hereafter, and if this was meant to be sym- bolized by immersion in fire, it is strange that this fact does not appear, as the fact of suffering now does, at every turn in the language of Christ ; it is strange that the rich man in hades is made to shrink from pain only, and not rather, above all, from destruction of consciousness, the real penalty of sin, the culminating point of his doom.
