MR. HAWEIS ON HEALTH.
rTO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
Six,—May I point out the extent to which you have been misinformed about my sermon on " Health ?" The title, as originally given out, was, "The Spiritual Aspects of Health," which some hearers seem to have converted into "Sanitary Aspects of Hell." 1st. The sermon was not last Sunday evening, but a month ago, in the morning. 2nd. The overflowing congre- gation alluded to was not, as your correspondent implies, drawn by "Hell,"—it may be observed almost every Sunday. As a fact, last Sunday's evening assembly, erroneously commented upon, was somewhatthinned by the weather. 3rd. I heartily agree with you that " Hell " and " Health " ought never to be disconnected. All divine Hells must restore health and happiness. In my pub- lished sermon on "Hell," in "Speech in Season," this is fully drawn out. It is the popular Hell of hopeless torment and eternal blasphemy, which I know, and desire to know, nothing about. Lastly, I must ask your readers not to "come and verify the overflowing congregation," at St. James's, Westmoreland Street, as, after last Sunday, the church was closed for enlargement ; and I only hope that I may meet, at St. James's Hall to-morrow morning, a congregation as overflowing as I left at St. James's, Westmoreland Street. —I am, Sir, &c.,
16 Welbeck Street. H. R. HAWEIS. [Our information and the errors in it were derived from the Guardian of Wednesday week.—En. Spectator.]
