The circumstance which gave rise to this discussion was the publication of the following article in the Southern Pioneer and Gospel Visiter, a weekly journal, devoted to Universalism, printed in Baltimore. The article was copied from the Christian Intelligencer. THE WHOLE COUNSEL. Br. Fletcher of the Thomaston Telescope, noting the declaration of Paul—“I have not shunned to declare the whole counsel of God,” asks how this fact is to be accounted for consistently with the other fact that in all his declarations he never used the word hell, nor mentioned such a place during his whole ministry? This is, indeed, an important inquiry-will some of our wise limitarians please to answer it? Soon after the publication of the above Mr. McKee wrote for the Pioneer, the following answer, over the signature PhiLADELPHIA. Mr. Editor:-THE WHOLE COUNSEL.

It is assumed as a well authenticated act, that St. Paul during his whole ministry never mentioned such a place as hell. Now as the Apostle's discourses were not written, who without the attribute of omniscience can tell, but he did use some word equivalent to hell in signification more than a thousand times? The fact is, there is as much evidence to prove that he did as there is that he did not. 3. St. Paul preached the doctrine of endless punishment as unequivocally as any other man ever did. For in 2 Thes. i. 9. he declared that the wicked should be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from |
