Here they may perform such good
acts as may raise them to one of the heavens of the gods; or commit
crimes, which may be the means of their being sent again to the abodes
of misery.
Things will go on in this way until the universe comes to an end, when
every thing is to disappear, and to be swallowed up in Brahm.
The Hindoos say, that it is now more than one hundred and fifty billions
of years since the world was created. After it has continued about one
hundred and fifty billions of years more, it is to come to an end. Then
Brumha is to die, and to be swallowed up with the universe in the sole
existing Brahm.
By what you have heard, you will learn that the Hindoos expect, by their
sufferings, to make an atonement for their sins. But there is no
atonement for sin, except through the blood of Jesus Christ. We must
come as lost sinners to our heavenly Father, confess our transgressions
to him, and plead for his forgiveness, only through the sufferings and
death which Christ endured. My dear children, have you done this? If
not, do it speedily, or the regions of the lost must soon be your
everlasting abode.
