Twelve Discussions Proving the Extinction of Evil Persons and Things.
By H. S. Warleigh. (E. Stock.)—Mr. Warleigh, who is a ;Gloucestershire rector, may be called the Apostle of the "Gospel of Extinction." He has written already two treatises to prove it, and he now discusses the subject in an elaborate treatise arranged in the form of conversation. "Eternal fire and eternal death refer to an endless result, not an endless process." That is something like Mr. Warleigh's thesis, and he seeks to prove that it is in accord with the belief of the Primitive Church, with the formularies of the Church of England, and with the words of Scripture. We are not much more Inclined to Mr Warleigh's views than we are to the views of those who preach a "Gospel of Damnation." He is still, so to speak, in the gall of 'bitterness when he takes Christ's words, "Fear him who is able to (destroy both body and soul in hell," to be spoken of the Father; still his book is something, as a sign of the revolt of man's conscience against an intolerable burden.
