The above estimate presents fearful thought
in the light of the doctrines commonly denomi-
mated orthodox. According to strict applica-
tion of those doctrines, not more than one-tenti
of the human race can ever enter into the joys
of heaven, while all the remainder must go
down to eternal wreichedness. Therefore
about 800 ,000,0c0 human souls sink into hell
every year; 1852 every day; 3,402 every
hour. and 81 every minute. Think, o Christian
reader, think that at nearly every tick of the

Governor of the State, declined to assume the
position for reasons alleged in letter to the
Louisville Times He says:
l am unwilling to peril the fair prospects Of
the party by becoming their standard bearer in
