Doom Eternal
A solemn presentation of Bible and church doctrine of everlasting punishment. By Rev. Junius B. Reimensnyder. Includes an introduction by C. P. Krauth of the University of Pennsylvania & a letter by ex-president of Yale College, Theodore D. Woolsey. Printed in 1887.
“That the recompense of every one’s life be fixed and unalterable after death, is likewise necessary as a deterrent from wickedness, and as an incentive to piety. The fear of eternal sufferings, and the hope of everlasting rewards, are the most powerful motives of human conduct. Take these away by holding out a second chance, a new probation after death, and you break the wholesome restraints which debar the wicked from going to the most desperate lengths, while, at the same time, weakening the most powerful inducements to virtue and piety.”
