“IT IS EASIER TO GET INTO HELL THAN IT WILL BE TO GET OUT”

In the village of Montgomery, Mich., in the spring of 1884, an infidel, husband of a spiritualist, was stricken down with disease. He had such a hatred for the cause of Christ that he had requested previous to his death that his body should not be carried to a church for funeral services, or any pastor be called upon to officiate. As he was nearing the shores of eternity, he turned his face toward the wall and began to talk of his future prospects. His wife saw that he was troubled in spirit and endeavored to comfort and console him by telling him not to be afraid; that his spirit would return to her and they would commune together then as now. But this gave him no comfort in this awful hour. With a look of despair; he said, “I see a great high wall rising around me, and am finding out at last, when it is too late, that it is easier to get into hell than it will be to get out, “and in a few moments his spirit had departed from this would to receive its reward. My sister-in-law was present at the time and heard the conversation. (Written for this book by Rev. W.C. Muff, Cleveland, Ohio).
