bur will declare TO all the followers of anti
christ that he never knew them? When [
speak Of Christ's church, mean Christ's
church = not the church of anti-christ, nor
sectarian bodies.
But what greater qualifications are requis-
lite to fit member for admiitance into the
paradise above, than are required to fit one
for admittanee into Christ's visible church,
How much less than the will of the Father
can The members CT Christ's church do, and
still retain their membership; and how much
more than the will of the Father are the
saints in glory required to do2 Christ re-
Iquires his followers 10 be perfect, even as
their Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Is anything more required Of the saints
above? John says, "he that commiIteth
sin is Of the devil; for the devil sinneth
from the beginning" Christ says, "For
whatsoever shall do the will of my Father
which is in heaven, the same is my brother,
and sister, and mother" If the qualifca-
ton in both cases are alike, what is the
difference between Chrisl's church and the
kingdom of heaven2
Again, the Disciples prayer is brought as
proof against my position. Does Mr.. L.
believe that the disciples were instructed to
ask for blessings more than eighteen hun
dred years ago, which could not be granted
until the second coming of Christi Or
does The language which they were instruct
ed to use express a desire for an enlarge
ment of that kingdom, that it may be set
up in other hearts, and perfected in the dis
ciples' own hearts if they were not yet per-
fect2 Let US see. Praying is designed for
something, and what is it2 Is it to alter
God and make him better, or more willing
to bestow blessings? No. He is upchange-
able. It is to bring the creature near 10 God,
where he can receive the blessing Then
the prayer is met with an immediate an
swer. By praying, the person becomes
assimilated into the likeness Of that God to
whom he prays. Ii be prays TO a war God,
he will be a warrior; or if he prays to
wrathfui, revengeful God, he viii soon be
wrathful, revengeful man. But if he prays
to the God of love, (Which is the true God,)
and that without ceasing, he can not help
partaking Of his spirit, and will be meek
and lowly in heart like the Son of God.
This is the natural effect and tendency of
prayer. and not that God will wait eighteen
hundred years before he answers the prayers
of his children. Individuals feel better for
praying, simply because they partake Of
peaceful, forgiving, quiet loving spirit.

TIE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Mr.. Editor Il observed that A. D. Low
has lately appeared in the Telegraph with
another very lengthy communication, with
out answering one of the many questions
that have put to him. The reason why
he has been thus careful not to answer them
is obvious TO me. 1t is that he can not an
swer them, and still maintain his position
against me, without assuming the whole
ground that the lnfdel occupies.
. Neither has he pretended TO answer the
argument that | introduced in my reply to
him concerning the kingdom of heaven
And why has he not done it2 II is because
that neither he, nor any other man can an
swer il, and still maintain the position that
be has taken concerning the kingdom oil
heaven. In favor of my position, | intro
duced the language of Christ as recorded by
The eyangelists, to prove that the kingdom
Of heaven came not with observation, ane
was az hand, and even set up by Jesus
Christ, and that in the hearts OF men NOR
than eighteen hundred years ago.

The Cruelties Of adrery.

The CrueEties Of Sdrery.
The frequent severe aoggings and other
outrageous penalties inflicted Oh slaves for
noticed in the last article,
do not constitute the greatest amount of
their suferings. Common life, with them,
is constant endurance Of cruel drudgery
and enormous abuse. Their ordinary labor
is intolerably oppressive. Awkward, for
the most part, at their business for want of
suitable training, stiff and clumsy by ex-
eessiVe hardships and exposures from child
hood, reluctant to toll without compensation,
like long abused and jaded horse that has
become almost insensibIe to threats or the
lash, now moving snaitlike and spiritless,
as if some how made up without joint, sim
ews or the principle of animation, so these
human brutes drag themselves to their daily
work, whether little or much, as to an un-
welcome, disheartening & burdensome task.
If be asked whether the amount of labor
exacted Of slaves is generally exlravagani,

field labor, and nearly all other kinds Of
slave labor, the miserable vassals are, so far

necessarily from very early hour in the
morning till very late in the evening. Be-

CHEAP BED.-ln Spain and Portugal.
beds are made Of the husks Of corn, which
are ry>durable, convenient, and healthy.
These beds are made in the following
manner The husks are gathered as
soon as they are ripe, and on a clean, dry
day. The outer husks are rejected. and
the softer, inner ones are collected and
dried in the shade. and when dry. the hard
ends that were attached 10 the cob are cut
off. They are then drawn through a
ha,chel or comb, so as to cut them into
narrow slips. These. enclosed in sack !,
or formed into mattress like prepared
hair. will be found almost eqeal 10 the best
moss OF hair mattresses, and are so dura-
BILE, that with any ordinary care they will
last from five to ten years. These beds
could be easily made Id this country, and
would be found for more pleasant, com.
Portable. and healthy. than beds made with
moss, hair, or feathers. We have seen
husk beds IN this country; but they were
so uncomfortable, that we should suppose
the makers had stuffed into them not only
the hardes. outer husks. but cobs and stalks
likewise; OF course they were unfit fol
use; but If they had been prepared accord
ing to the above directions, they wouls
have been found pleasant and comfortable
