Religious thought is being changed
and moulded today as it ever has
bee* Tomorrow It will be differ
ent than It is today
One of tbe most startling evi
dences of the change in religions be
liefs has been recent lv manifested
In a resolution which has been un
animously passed by the Internat
ional Ribl? Students Association
The reoniution denies the medieval
theory of a "literal hell-fire." and
the society |s backed up by the be
liefs of such clergyman as Canon
Hanson of Westminster Abbey, R
J Campbell of London. Rev. Ar
thur I. OduU of St. 1<ouis. Rev R
Phelan. editor of Western Watohmm
Rev l?r James W. Ijee, Rabbi Ros
e- pastor Russell of tbe
Brooklyn Tabernacle, and many oth
ers
The resolution which Is causing a
world wide comment is as follows:
Resolved That It is the sense
of The International Bible Student*

not find the Bible to Inch the doc
trine ot a literal "h*ll-fir*" or place
of "fire and brimstone" for the pun
ishment of the wicked; hut that
serular history of the formation of
the Middle Ages reveals the fart
that for various reasons, either wise
ly or unwisely, the doctrine of tor
ment In "hell-fire" was added to
the Ooapel aa taught by Jeaua and
(the Twelve Apostles, necessitating
many ridiculous Interpretations of
the I ?ord '? parables. We, therefore,
now unreservedly repudiate a
I thoroughly unacrlptural the teach
! ingst of a place, state or condition
of a literal "lake of fire and brim
stone" for the torment of the wtck
o?i; and. further, we believe from
many personal testimonials that the
vast majority of ministers of all
1 Protestant denomination have pri
vately repudiated the "hell-fire"
[theory, but have for supposedly goo
; reasons hesitated to fullv inform
! their congregations; and, further,
we believe. on this account thous

When tbe witchcraft delusion of lfl5?2 !

tb? people would not vralt for the
workings of the established tribunal of
Justice. It was too slow to mtlt them.
So they cried out for a special court to
hustle alons tbe trial of witches, and
Governor Phipps meekly yielded to the
clamor and named seven Judges to con
duct the trials.
It waa distinctly a popular court
and was controlled absolutely by the
popular will Not a single one of the I
seven Judge* was a lawyer Two of !
tbe Judges were clerg\ men. two were ?
physicians, and three tvefe merchants, i
The common law was thrown aside, i
mlea of evlden<-e were ignored, and the
Judges snd Juries were left untram
melcd by any "quibbles of tbe law" to
follow their own feeling* and the pop
ular will
Says Washburn In his "Judicial His
tory of Massachusetts:" "The trials
were but k form of executing popular
vengeance Juries were Intimidated
by tbe frowns and persuasions of the
court and by the outbreaking* of the
multitude that crowded the place of
trial to render verdicts agnlnst their
own conscience* ami Judgment." lie
cites one case, that of Rebecca Nurse,
in which the Jury actually had the
courage to bring In a verdict of not
guilty, wb'foupon "the accusers rais

was sent back, reiurtted with a verdict
