Professor Bush's Lecture on swedenborgian
Doctrines.
The announcement that Professor Bush would
give lecture, in which some of the most promi-
nent and peculiar notions Of the Swedenbor-
gian doctrines would be commented on, attracted
large audience 10 the lecture room at the Society
Library. The room was most densely crowed full

ture, with about an equal proportion OF ladies and
gentemen and even the passages leading to 1t were
filled with anxious listeners
The services OF the evening were commenced by
the reading OF portion OF scripture, hymn, and
afterwards prayer following.

being, as what was more important to every think
ing being than his condition In future state That
there Is, however, complete apathy about 1t is
doubtless, from the circumstance that no further
lights afforded than by the pages OF holy WRIT which
gives Of such future state but enters into no
details 1t does not give the relations OF the internal
chance OF present life and its destiny in another and
leaves us much in the dark to the specific condition
