gone far when it seemed to grow darker。 Ever and anon�察�however�察�a light 

would flash up from the distance�察�and in this manner I was lighted on my 

journey。 Presently I was met by a being that it is utterly impossible for me 

to describe。 I can only give you a faint idea of his dreadful appearance。 He 

resembled a man somewhat�察�but much larger than any human being I ever 

saw。 He must have been at least ten feet high。 He had great wings on his 

back。 He was black as the coal I had been digging�察�and in a perfectly nude 

condition。 He had a large spear in his hand�察�the handle of which must have 

been fully fifteen feet in length。 His eyes shone like balls of fire。 His teeth�察�

white as pearl�察�seemed fully an inch long。 His nose�察�if you could call it a 

nose�察�was very large�察�broad and flat。 His hair was very coarse�察�heavy and 

long。 It hung down on his massive shoulders。 His voice sounded more like 

the   growls   of   a   lion   in   a   menagerie   than   anything   I   can   recall。   It   was 

during one of these flashes of light that I first saw him。 I trembled like an 

aspen   leaf   at   the   sight。   He   had   his   spear   raised   as   if   to   send   it   flying 

through me。 I suddenly stopped。 With that terrible voice I seem to hear yet�察�

he bade me follow him�察�that he had been sent to guide me on my journey。 I 

followed。 What else could I do�拭�After he had gone some distance a huge 

mountain       appeared     to  rise  up   before   us。   The   part   facing   us   seemed 

perpendicular�察�just as if a mountain had been cut in two and one part had 

been taken   away。   On   this perpendicular wall I   could distinctly  see   these 

words�察  �'This   is   Hell。'   My   guide   approached   this   perpendicular   wall�察  �and 

with his spear´handle gave three loud raps。 A large   massive door   swung 

back and we passed in。 I was then conducted on through what appeared to 

be    a  passage     through    this  mountain。      For   some    time   we    traveled   in 

Egyptian darkness。 I could hear the heavy footfalls of my guide�察�and thus 

could follow him。 All along the way I could hear deep groans�察�as of some 

one dying。 Further on�察�these groans increased�察�and I could distinctly hear

the   cry   for   water�察  �water�察  �water。   Coming   now   to   another   gateway�察  �and�察�

passing through�察�I could hear�察�it seemed�察�a million voices in the distance�察�

and the cry was for water�察�water。 Presently another large door opened at 

the   knock   of   my   guide�察  �and   I   found   that   we   had   passed   through      the 

mountain�察�and now a broad plain layout before me。 At this place my guide 

left me   to   direct   other   lost spirits   to   the same   destination。  I   remained in 

this open plain for a time�察�when a being somewhat similar to the first one 

came to me�察�but�察�instead of a spear�察�he had a huge sword。 He came to tell 

me of my future doom。 He spoke with a voice that struck terror to my soul。 

'Thou art in hell��' said he�察�'for thee all hope is fled。 As thou passed through 

the mountain on thy journey hither�察�thou didst hear the groans and shrieks 

of the lost   as they called   for water  to cool their  parched tongues。 Along 

that passage there is a door that opens into the lake of fire。 This is soon to 

be   thy   doom。   Before   thou   art   conducted   to   this   place   of   torment   never 

more to emergefor there is no hope for those who enter therethou shalt 

be permitted to remain in this open plain�察�where it is granted to all the lost 

to behold what they might have enjoyed�察�instead of what they must suffer。' 

With this I was left alone。 Whether the result of the terrible fright through 

which I had passed I know not�察�but now I became stupified。 A dull languor 

took   fall   possession   of   my   frame。   My   strength   departed   from   me。   My 

limbs longer refused to support my body。 Overcome�察�I now sank down a 

helpless     mass。   Drowsiness      now    took    control   of  me。   Half    awake�察   �half 

asleep�察  �I   seemed   to   dream。   Far   above   me   and   in   the   distance   I   saw   the 

beautiful city of which we read in the Bible。 How wonderfully beautiful 

were its walls of jasper。 Stretching out and away in the distance I saw vast 

plains covered with beautiful flowers。 I�察�too�察�beheld the river of life and 

the sea of glass。 Vast multitudes of angels would pass in and out through 

the gates of the city�察�singing�察�oh�察�such beautiful songs。 Among the number 

I   saw   my   dear   old   mother�察  �who   died   a   few   years   ago   of   a   broken   heart 

because of my wickedness。 She looked toward me�察�and seemed to beckon 

me to her but I could not move。 There appeared to be a great weight upon 

me that held me down。 Now a gentle breeze wafted the fragrance of those 

lovely flowers to   me�察 �and   I   could now�察 �more   plainly  than   ever�察 �hear   the 

sweet melody of angel voices�察�and I said�察�oh�察�that I could be one of them。

As I was drinking from this cup of bliss it was suddenly dashed from my 

lips。   I   was   aroused   from   my   slumbers。   I   was   brought   back   from   happy 

dreamland by an inmate of my dark abode�察�who said to me that it was now 

time to enter upon my future career。 He bade me follow him。 Retracing my 

steps I again entered the dark passage way�察�and followed my guide for a 

time�察�when we came to a door that opened in the side of the passage�察�and�察�

going along this�察�we finally found ourselves passing through another door�察�

and lo� �I beheld the lake of fire。 Just before me I could see�察�as far as the 

eye   could   reach�察 �that   literal lake   of   fire   and   brimstone。  Huge   billows   of 

fire would roll over each other�察�and great waves of fiery flame would dash 

against each other and leap high in the air like the waves of the sea during 

a violent storm。 On the crest of these waves I could see human beings rise�察�

but soon to be carried down again to the lowest depth of this awful lake of 

fire。 When borne on the crest�察�of these awful billows for a time their curses 

against   a   just   God   would   be   appalling�察  �and   their   pitiful   cries   for   water 

would be heartrending。 This vast region of fire echoed and re´echoed with 

the   wails   of   these   lost   spirits。   Presently   I   turned   my   eyes   to   the   door 

through which I had a few moments before entered�察�and I read these awful 

words�此�'This is thy doom�察�Eternity never ends。' Shortly I began to feel the 

earth   give   way  beneath  my  feet�察  �and   I   soon   found   myself   sinking   down 

into the lake of fire。 An indescribable thirst for water now seized upon me。 

And calling for water�察�my eyes opened in the prison hospital。
