Excerpt from Discussion on the Important Question, Do the Scriptures Teach the Doctrine of the Final Holiness and Happiness of All Mankind?: A Series of Letters Between Rev. Abel C. Thomas and Rev. Luther Lee

The following pages treat on subjects of vital importance. What is to be the condition of mankind in the eternal world is of great moment to-every son and daughter of Adam. - The world disagrees on this subject. It is maintained by some that oar race will be divided into two classes in eternity, one of which will be holy, happy, and in heaven with tho Creator, and the other sinful, miserable, and in a place of torment with devils. In tho succeeding pages both of these theories are maintained, and tho arguments and proofs that were supposed by the advocate of each to sustain his view of the destiny of mankind, are stated and vindicated with much talent, and generally in a christian spirit.

Reader, as you are deeply interested in the realities of Eternity, peruse attentively and prayerfully this little book. Compare each theory maintained therein with tho Spirit and Word of God, remembering that must be false which clashes with them, and that must be true which accords with those infallable guides. Also weigh carefully and impartially the arguments and proofs for and against each theory, and let reason and the scriptures decide which is and which is not founded in truth.

The Rev. Abel C. Thomas, who is the advocate of universal purity and bliss, is one of the most talented writers and preachers of the Universalist denomination. He Is as well qualified probably as any man to defend his cause. The Rev. Luther Lee, who is the advocate of endless sinning and suffering, possesses evidently great ability, and undoubtedly did the best ho could to sustain his theory.
