tai change rs the world has ever seen. Ye
the old errors which for so long a time had beer
creeping into the primitive church were rooted
| ont to give place TO new, have sometims tho
almost as exceptionahle, for while Luther. Zuin.
gle and Huss, were issuing their thunderbolts
to beat out the brains Of the old monster. they
were causing a state of things, at the abasino
tendency of which upon the human mind we are
profoundly amazed. Neither did Calvin show
himself less intolerant and relentless persccu-
ton than did Debio. May we not then suppose
mat IN coming time that men will as deeply de-
plore the weak and unchristian chickering's and
Jealousles OF the many religious denominations
OF the present day. as we do those of the past.
a noble and commendablc spirit no doubt nervcd
The arm OF these master minds in their contests
against existing errors, but wrongs still adhered
10 them nearly as great as those which they were
so arduously laborng to cast away. Where
then do we look for evidence OF the existence of
new spirit, even in this remarkable period. 4
new phase did indeed appear. the mind was in
deed elevated, but only in agreement with this
great law OF graduation or progression. We see
IN the future glorious day, such an one as
earth has never witnessed. Our expectations
are heightened, and our confidence strengthened
III the view from the Cageness with which the
mind SEXES hold of all moral qustions, and move
mcnts OF the present day. With what strength
ana earnesness the principle Of equality and fra
termty are row embraced and advocated. Thcu-
sands in our world at this day are completely
electrified by these all absorbing questions.
And know of no onward step which man has
taken IN moral Improvement is now taking,
that Is not step toward equality. See Kings
totterlng from their places, and thrones crumb-
ling into atoms See the monarch rivcn from
the slave, and the complainings of his lord
smothered by the upbraidings of his own con-
science. The vender of alcoholic drinks is
hurrcdIy choked up by the appropriate law
which makes him accountable for the wrongs
resulting from his own traffic. The social sys-
TENS of Fourier and Owen are taking strong
hold Of the public mind The land reform rrm-
GlPlc meets with many an advocate and lover.
In fine man begins TO recognise in his fellow
man (the long forgotten and Lard learned TRUTH
the features OF a brother. All these things are
ominous of the future. They plainly tell that
man has an upward destination, and that by the
law of progression alone his elevation can be
effected. But how does the race progress? evil
dent only by the progrl soion Of the individual:
Just then one labours as he labOurs honestly
and earnestly; it matters not much how will be-
ms influence upon society, nor need he think his
influence is M thing, however humble his station,
for as strange as it would seem, the destinics of

SOCIETIES IN WISCONSIN,

The Religious and Benevolent Societies of
Northern Wisconsin held their annual meetings
at Beaver Dam, commencing on the 9TH inst.
and continuing four days. BY report of the
Home Mission Society it seems that twenty
ministers in connection with this religious insti-
tuition arc now preaching in Nor,he Wiscon-
sin, where ten years ago there was but one
Now they have twenty-five churches, then they
had but two.
The Northern Tract Society next met. 1t
appears by their Report that much has been done
by this Society towards the spreading of Relg-
ious knowledge. The Foreign Mission Meeting
was next held and eloquentIy addressed by Rev.
&. J. KANoUsE. The Northern Wisconsin Bible
Society next held its anniversary. From the
Report presented it appears that this Society has
circulated about 1000 Bibles and 5000 1'esta-
ments. 1t has collected 81, 81 so, and paid
over to the American Bible Society S62G - be-
sides what has been expended in this district and
what remains in the hands of the Society. A
Temperance Meeting was also held and address,
ed by RevS. Mr. SEXBY and MARSH. An Anti
Slavery Meeting was also held on one of these
days. The Sabbath School Society met, and
the following facts were presented In North
crn Wisconsin there are about 10000 children
between the ages of i and IS. 90 Sabbath
Schools. embracing only 1850 scholars leaving
over 1900 who do not participate in the moral
and religious culture of these schools Sis
worth OF Books have been given to these schools
and they have purchased 3I2 dollars worth in
addition.
A Music Convention was also held The
number in attendance was about 80 Society
for the promotion and cultivation of Music was
organized and Constitution adopted
All these several meetings were well attend
ed and sustained with great degree of interest
1t is to be hoped that the future anniversaries of
this kind will show an increase of interest in
these matters, proportionae at leastto the growth
and prosperity of the State.---Hd Adr.

NARRATIVE OF THE DEAD SEA EXPEDITION. 80
Lieut. Lynch says, that at the time the cxpedi-
ton entered the Dead Sqa one of its members
was skeptica as to the truth of the Biblical ac-
count respecting the cities of the Plain and an
other was a protessed disbcIiever; vet that both
when the survey had been closed, were convn-
ced of the truth of the narrative i'm Genesis. The
Sea, according to Lieut.. Lynch, is divided into
two parts one of which averages thirteen feet in
depth, and the other thirteen hundred From the
manner in which the torrents precptatc them
selves down the ovcrhanging mountains in this
deeper part of the sea- as we'll as from other
signs. the expedition arrived at the conclusion
that here had once stood Sodom and Gomorrah,
and that the entire plain had been sunk by VOL
caniC agencies.
The whole volume, indeed, is full of confirm
alton of the scriptural narrative Many of the
stories. heretofore told of the Dead Sea have been
disproyed however. Birds arc seen to fly over
its waters continually: but no fishes are men,
tirned as having hcen caught The insaIubrity
