[We hope our readers will bear in mind the motive our friend has in
writing, and we in giving, this brief account of Lizzie Winchester; and
may the Holy Spirit cause the reading of it to make them feel the
importance of the new birth, and stir them up to seek clear and certain
evidences of their salvation, so that, when they come to die, they may
be able to confess, "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that
He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him."--ED.]

"THERE IS NO REST IN HELL!"
AN AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE.
Dear Reader,--The following account being "an authenticated fact," it is
put before you with the hope that you may be thereby led to solemnly
consider the subject of a future state. God's truth does not require
fiction to make it effectual; therefore, the net of truth should only be
weighted with words of truth.
The awful, but true, narrative now put before you takes us back for
something like a century, to the city of Glasgow, where, at that time,
was a club of gentlemen of the first rank in that city. They met
professedly for card-playing; but the members were distinguished by such
a fearless excess of profligacy as to obtain for it the name of "The
Hell Club."
Besides their nightly or weekly meetings, they held a grand annual
festival, at which each member endeavoured to "outdo all his former
outdoings" in drunkenness, blasphemy, and licentiousness. Of all who
shone on these occasions, none shone half so brilliantly as Archibald
Boyle. Educated by a fond and foolishly indulgent mother, he was early
allowed to meet in society with members of "The Hell Club."
