Church, has been that they were places
of happiness arid misery. This idea im-
plies indeed an Opposition or contrast be-
tween them. But the opposition is sup-
posed to arise rather from divino appoint-
ment, than from the inherent character
and disposition of the inhabitants. The
obódicnt aro supposed to be rewarded,
and the disobedient punished in an ar-
bitrary manner; and heaven and bell
are consequently supposed to be places
provided by the Lord, and fitted by Mm
for the accomplishment of these ends.
This is Evident from the fact that hap-
piness has beon supposed to be tho nat-
ural result or effect of admission into
heaven, and misery the effect of consign-
ment to hell. Blit tho opposition ber
tween hea.vefi and bell is the result or
of tbe opposition between tho
characters of the inhabitants. It is not
caused by the different treatment of the
Lord, who is disposed to reward some
and punish others, and therefxie provides
places adapted tó carry sttch a disposi-
tion into effect. But it is caused by the
different manner in which the inhabitants
of heavei. and those of hell receive and
appropriate wffat is given them.®; Tho
Lord constantly enters by influx into ail,
giving te all, life,loveand wisdom. And
it is his his ConstutiC endeavor that, all
should act as of themselves, but under
the acknowledgement that everything
good and true is from him. Where this
endeavor is yielded to on the part, of
spirits and mon, there is heaven; where
It Is resisted, there is bell.
