THE doctrine of the non-eternity of punishment is a thrust of Satan's against the Son of God. If he can make out that the punishment of sin is a thing that can wear itself out-a finite thing-then the work that has met it is a finite work, and the person who wrought the work is -a finite person. But an eternity of misery can never measure the extent of the work of Christ on the cross, or bridge the distance that lies between the lowest hell due to my sin and the throne of God, where. He has seated Him who now measures my nearness to Himself, even as He measured my distance when on the cross. H. H. M.
