 torc.l the Iwjly. Did it come from nonentity ? The soul nnist have hcen al)sent

 1 u * 1 ^'*''* '" * similar discussion to the present between the Pharisees 
 
 and Saaduceea, and avowed himself ii Pharisee and a son of a Pharisee. If Paul 
 were hoi to-night, couhl there be a doubt as to which side he would espouse? 
 t. 1 1" ''^''"'^' *^'®" appealed to to decide Jietweon tho same two sects, showed 
 the Sailduoec 8 by a convincing argument from Moses himself that thev were 
 wrong. ' 
 
 Ood is not the God of tho dead but of the living. Were Abraham, Isaac and 
 .Jacob dead, or were they living? If they wore nothing and nowhere, God is God 
 of nothing, but still not God of the dca<l. Hut if they still lived in another stato 
 of existence, us tliiH plainly implies, what liecomts of the proposition that man 
 tails into uiicoaaciouaisess and noii exi.stenco at death? Tho proposition and the 
 scripture evnlently cannot both be true. 
 
 Mr. Dl'nn said sinil or p.-nulK' is ecpiivalent to the whole man, or the life, or 
 IS used with the retlexive pronoun. All Hesh did not mean man when God 
 threatened to destroy all flesh, it iuclnded man and beast. 
 
 Ps. 14th. .Mans thoughts peri-sb. The dead praise not the Lord. Ho de- 
 . nianded that these texts be met. As to the Sadducues, angels are spirits, and the 
 other thing the S:i,ldueees denied was tho resurrection, .lesus never referred to 
 a separate entity in nun. Paul sai.l that which is to be raised must tir.st die. 
 If so, then unless we die, wo cannot be raised, but tlic orthodox <lo not expect 
 •leath. tliey expect to live on continuously, how then do they hoijc for a resur- 
 rection ? •'1 
 
 In reference to "tho God of the living." Go<l speaks of thing.s to come as 
 though tliey Wcm'c, as lu case of his promises to Abraham, and as Abraham will 
 live again, he speaks of liiiu as living. He lives in the future. 
 
 We are absent from the body, we from owe one body, or how many we's ? 
 Cited Parkhurst that )ii'j>lievh does not necessarily mean a soul. Job wished he 
 hail died so as to be at rest. He speaks of sleeping in the dust, of l)eing as though 
 he had not been, having been carne.l to the grave. This imust mean total uncon- 
 sciousness, " being as though he had not been." P.salmist siiys like sheep we are 
 laid m the grave. The soul is under sentence of death, and giKS to du.st Sons of 
 men are boasts, that which befalleth the one befalleth the other, as one dieth, so 
 dieth the other. There is no thought nor work in tlie grave. The dciul know 
 not anything. The soul died and the dead know not .iiiything, thercfora m'ui 
 goes into a state of unconsciousness at death. 
 
 Lazarus, tho whole being who was dead cai/n' forth, not an inimortal soul 
 coming down fiom heaven to reanimate him. All that ate in tho I'nives shall 
 como forth, not from heaven or hell, but from the i,'ravr.s. Rut the common bellf 
 18 that they will come from heaven and hell, which may be liyuin-book theokx'v 
 but is not in the Bible. ~ j cJi 
 
 Dr. WAsui.NCiTON. In reply to tlie text, "The dead praise not the Lord," t.e 
 would ask Mr. Dunn to read the rest of the text, and see whither tho dilficultv 
 wouhl not disappear. The Psahuist goes on to s.ay, but 'V/v will praise the I ord 
 fonvermore. But Mr. Dunn wanted to snatch a -rcat link out of the endless 
 chain of this eyermoro, in order to get thousands of years of unconsciousness or 
 non-existence smuggled into it. , 
 
 Mr. Dunn denies that a spirit exists as an entity in man, but scripture says 
 God formed the spint in man. What is th.it but an entity ? Tho Psalmist hopes 
 to walk //(roH(//t the valley of death, and to be sustained in doing so. H he is 
 unconscious, how is he to walk or to need siistenanco. When the heart and flesh 
 fail, ttod 18 to be his strength and portion forever. The soul is redeemed, the 
 body ?«?« be aft«r death. Man docs pass orf this teiupor.il stage like the beast, 
 »nd he may be laid in the grave. Personal pronouns are applied to the body or 
 to the soul, or to the whole man. j> 
 
 grave 
 
 If the soul has been redeemed from the power of the grave, how can the 
 e have power over it ? The thoughts of man perish frequently in this life,

 life as moaning existonco, and as being the result of functional perfection of 
 the bodily organs, and death is the opposite of life, ami is the result of the cusaa- 
 tion of these functions. At death man goes where ho was before ho was born,

 confusion of these me;iniri:i;s. Translations of Hcripture by methods adopted by 
 Mr. Dunn, would make unmeaning nonsense. 
 
 The body can be killed, the soul cannot. I-et him come to the point an<l tell 
 what that soul is whioh cannot bo killeil by those who can kill the body. Text 
 •bout the value of the soul must be mot also. If bodily life is meant, the com 
 pari.son with the whole world would be riiliculous. Moses was buried in the 
 landofMoab, how did he appear to the Apostles if ho was nonexistent. Mr. 
 Dunn says it was a vision. But his disciples saw it after they awoxe out of sleep, 
 if it was a vision thoy would have seen it while they slept. This fact was fatal 
 to Mr. Dunn's L-tborod but futile attempt to explain away so formidable a ijassage. 
 As to r,ho roaurrootiou, Paul argues that the resurrection depended on C!hnst s 
 resurrection. But Dunn says whether CJhrist is risen or not, we perish anyway. 
 But ho has risen, and Paul says wo are not purinhed. Why did not Christ cor- 
 rect his disciples in their errors about spirits, if they were wrong? The patriarchs, 
 it seems, wore blotted out of existence, but Christ taught his hearers that they 
 were living, which is right ? 
 
 Mu. Dn 
 read even Roberts. ».Mr Dunn aid not agr 
 and the Bible. He holds that spirit had many meanings. ^.^ ■'■■"■ ^ 
 
 He (lid not deny that man was rational. Man cannot dejtroy the life hiil 
 with God, God can kill that, but man can kill the body. The transfiguration was 
 a vision like Nebuchadnezzar'c vision of tlie image. It is not said that) Moses' 
 loul UA8 there, or Elijah's. It is the resurrection of ti.e dead that is tbe hope of 
 the C'hristian. The sleepers and dea<l in Christ were to be rewarded by his com- 
 ing. The natural man is Hrat, afterwards the spiritual man, henuo the lirst could 
 not be part spirit, p.irt matter. Man is wholly mort il, and m')rtal puts on im- 
 mortality, but at the resurrection then shall death be swallowed up in victory. 
 Then man sees Jehovah's glory. He went on to speak ot the grandeur of Christ's 
 reign upon the earth. Rav. 1'), 15, proves that the time of the dead only comes 
 after 7th angel sounds at jud^^'.iient. "All that aro iu the graves are to come 
 forth to judgment.' 
 
 The SadducBos took only the Pentateuch. Hence Jesus proved the resur- 
 rection from Mosos only. He did not prove that there was an immortal soul. 
 God spoke of his p irpose, when he called himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and 
 Jacob. He was their God in reference to his puipose to raise them up at the 
 last day. The iaterm..diate state is a blank in So-riptuie, God will not bring the 
 rightijous and wicked to judgment from heaven and hell, but will wako them from 
 sleep. David has not ascended into h..aven. David has been a long time in the 
 shadow of death, aud in still not in heaven, but unconscious in the dust like his 
 fatheis. 
 
 Dr. WASUiNaroN said pmche is never applied to future life ; the word is zoe 
 iu every instance. The life of the body, the animal life simply is pswke in the 
 original, but that of the soul in reference to its future is always zoe, an entirely 
 different word. The attempt to make a point by confounding two essentially 
 different words and things evinced either gross ignorance or great presumption. 
 This disposes of the attempted explanations. 
 
 The lift of Jesus, he says, was committed to God's keeping ; but by the hy- 
 pothesis this life at death is nothing, hence he commends nothing to His keeping.

 And he looked forward to the resurrection when he should be reunited to the 
 body. Solomon had reasoned deeply with himself on the great problems of life 
 and death, and good and evil, but at last he cleared up his doubts in his last re- 
 marks that when the "silver cord should be loosed, the body should return to 
 dust and the spirit to God who gave it." Hence it was misusing Scripture to 
 take his musings as doctrinal proof when his conclusion a little further on was 
 exactly the reverse. 
 
 If soul must be held to mean life, what does David mean when he sayo the 
 living shall praise the Lord for evermore. He that believeth hath everlasting life. 
 How can it be everlasting if thousands of years are to come out of it? 
 
 God breathed something into man, that thing must therefore be separable 
 from him. That it is so separable is the plain teaching of scripture, which always 
 refer to man as coQtinuing to exie* after the body dies, 
 
 Wh at prompted the heathens to believe in immortality, if there is not a 
 principle, a longing for it implanted within them? 
 
 The case of the thief's prayer on the cross and the Saviour's answer— "To- 
 day thou shalt be with me m Paradise," showed that the dead are conscious, and 
 their reward is immediate, in part at least. 
 
 Mr. Dvnn said his opponent's gospel was that of witches. He ridiculed it 
 as a creed of superstition and necromancy. The soul of Abel cried from under 
 the ground or altar on which he was sacrificed. The souls under the altar do live 
 in the future and will reign with Christ a thousand years. If the body here is 
 the soul's house, then there is another house in the heavens, and there will be a 
 third house at the resurrection. Dr. Washington says the soul that sinneth it 
 sluiU die, and then that it shall not die. He quoted a number of passages where 
 souls are said to be slain with the sword. This is the way souls died. Beasts' 
 souls (Num. 31, 28) were slain. 
 
 Facts prove that mind depends on functional perfection of bodily organs. 
 Now matter has more power than spirit. Pressure on brain causes cessation of 
 thought, derangements of functions cause lunacy. 
 
 Paul Iioped for eternal life, showing that he had not got it in fact, else he 
 would not have hoped for it. 
 
 The wages of sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life, given at the last day, 
 but not sooner, eternal life is in the Son, he that hath the son hath eternal life, 
 that is in reversion, or the promise of it. 
 
 It is Claimed that Jesus and the thief went to Paradise up in heaven some- 
 where the same day. But the thief's prayer was that he should be remembered 
 when He came to his kingdom, not we»t but came. When would that be? when 
 he came into his kingdom and set uj. that kingdom on the earth. To this all who 
 waited for his appearing looked, and for his coming they hoped. 
 
 Dr. Washington. The Saviour's answer is the basis of our belief, not the 
 thief's prayer. To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. The brain is the me- 
 dium through which the mmd works, and of course if the medium is deranged, 
 the mind's working is interfered with. 
 
 He says the wages of sin is death. But there is no condemnation to them 
 which are in Christ. Now if, as Mr. Dunn says, the death of the body is the 
 wages of sin, then no Christian should die ; but all die, therefore the death spoken 
 of must mean something else. 
 
 (ThefoUoieing is the conclusion of Hm Dr.' a speech, verbatim.) 
 
 My opponent has undertaken to^o»ethat man is unconscious between death 
 and the resurrection. To do this he must reconcile the plain meaning of God's 
 Word irith his theory. He calls or. mo for proof. T nae.il not prove anj'thing. 
 My duty is simply to point out the fallacies that underlie his attempts at proof. 
 He says that man immediately after death, is as though he had not been, is where 
 he was before being born, is therefore non-existent, is nowhere and is nUhimj. This 
 is his theory, in plain language, not an inference from it. but his own statement. 
 
 Now will the audience hold firmly before tUeir minds this proposition of the 
 
Luke

 entities resting or being told to rest, to be patient for a little while till tlie rest of 
 tbeir brethren had joined them in the shades of non-existence. Need I point out 
 any further "how the hypothesis of my opponent heaps one monstrous absurdity 
 on another, till sober language fails to characterize its utter folly. 
 
 But further, 1 Peter, 3, 19, 20. "Christ preached to the spirits in ('rison, 
 which were disobedient in tl^ days of Noah." Will my opponent face tlie music 
 and tell this audience how in accordance with his theory Christ preached to beings 
 that had gone out of existence, that were not, over 2,000 years before. We would 
 feel thankful for a clear exposition of this point. 
 
 Turn we now to a statement of Christ himself recorded in Luke 10, 19 to 31. 
 The beggar died, and thiit was the last of him as a conscious being, according to my 
 opponent. But Christ says "he" — the beggar, that is — was carried by angels 
 into Abraham's bosom. What did they carry? Was it the l)ody covered with 
 sores? According to Dunn there was nothing else to carry, the conscious thing 
 had been blotted out of existence, a lump of clay covered with horrid sores was 
 left. Did they carry that? Does any sane man say they carried that into Abra- 
 ham's bosom? They carried h'wi, and whatever the ego of Lazarus was, that was 
 what they took. 
 
 But the rich man aiso died, and to avoid all disputes about his body, we are 
 told he v/as buried. He too became non-existent of course, and that ought to be 
 the last of him till after the resurrection. But no — -'in hell he lifted up his 
 eyes." What 1 a non-entity lifted up his eyes, "being in torments," and yet un- 
 conscious of them, existence gone, the whole being blotted out, the rich man was 
 where he had been before he was bom, and yet he lifted up his eyes in torment ! ! 
 "And he cried smd said^Ara these the acts of the unconscious dead, "cri/ing and 
 Kar/ing,'' "Father Ahraham." What a simpleton this rich man must have been. 
 Did he not know that Father Abraham was not in being for th? last 2,000 years, 
 and yet he cried to him, but I suppose being a non-entity himself, the rich man 
 could not be expected to know anything. We are told that the dead know not 
 anything, and it seems this dead man did not know much of the gospel according 
 to Dunn. " Have mercy on me," that is, let Abraham who is nothing have mercy 
 on me who am nothing! "and send Lazarus," here comes the other non-enfittj. 
 "I am tormented in this flame." Dunn wanted an instance of the conscious ego, 
 the I, conscious after death and before resurrection. Is he satisfied with this 
 specimen? Can non-existence be tormented? Can unconsciousness suffer pain?. 
 But further on memori/ and reason are ascribed to this dead man, who had 
 been buried. Son remember, and Lazarus is comforted. How is be comforted if he 
 is unconscious cr non-existent? Will Mr. Dunn explain? Will he be kind enough 
 to show this audiance how this conversation between a brace of non-entities is 
 even conceivable, on his hypothesis? 
 
 "I have five brethren," here is the very personal identity of the rich man 
 established. I'he ego is clear here, the same individual whost; five l)rethren 
 yet live in wickedness on earth is pleading that a messenger be sent to them from 
 the dead. Why ask such a thing, if there were no consciousness in the dead ? 
 How should a messenger from unconsciousness re'-'^al anything ? If the interme- 
 diate state be a blank, the very request of the rich maH is conceived in unutter- 
 able folly. 
 
 But Father Abraham dois wit toli him so, which he naturally would have 
 done, if he had been a good Christadjlphian, he pleaded that Moses and the pro- 
 phets were sufficient, "if they hear not them, neithei will they be persuaded 
 though one rose from the dead." 
 
 And so I say, if the citations I have given from Moses and the prophets, from 
 Christ and the Apostles, are not sufficient to overturn in the mind of every think- 
 ing person lU ihisaudieuue the iiutiun of uuuousciousuess between death mud the 
 resurrection, "neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead." 
 Now let my opponent come up to the work and square his doctrine with these 
 passages if he dare.
