Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on the Immortality of the Soul: The Intermediate State of the Dead, and a Future Retribution 1 4th, If the soul is not immortal, and does not sufl'er in a disembodied state, it is certain there is a radical mistake in all the missionary projects of the present day. It -is not disputed, that all these projects receive their impetus from the be lief that the soul is immortal, and if not saved, must go into future endless misery at death. Ask any one of those, who rest not day nor night in begging money for missions, what makes him so very zealous - The answer is, 0, to save the immortal souls of the poor, perishing heathen. Who can blame them for their exertions in such a cause, if this doctrine be true? And is it not a disgrace to Universalists, who believe Mr. Hud son's system, not to exert themselves in attempt. Ing to save immortal souls? Indeed, his punish ment, in duration, looks so much like endless punishment, that they ought to be fellow work. Ers with our orthodox brethren in such a good cause.

All I ask then, is, that my views be candidly investigated, for if true they deeply interest the community. 5th, If the soul is not immortal, and does not suffer in a disembodied state, an end is put to much misery suffered by the human race. If I am correct m my opinions, an end is put to all the terror and misery which ghosts have occa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
