posted about the streets calling meeting at the
Court House tomorrow evening, to consider the
Ferry Question:" Let ne one be deceived by 1T.
It is simply an attempt to obtain an apology for
infringing the exclusive ferry license already grant
edCapt. Fisher. 1t is an abuse of terms as we'll as
an insult to the action Of City Council to allude
to tho present condition of ferry matters as ques
ton" It has been settled sometime since; and it
would seem that the owner of the "76' ought to
have taken hint, after having been SO repeatedly
foled in his attempts to get license to ferry here
that our citizens yet remember the transactions of
by-gone days and do not desire to have anything
more to do with him.-Daily, 10th.

the above caption in yesterdays paper, inviting re-
ing subject.
It is . fact battling our human philosophy to ac-
count for that the event upon which hinges all our
most substantial hopes Of glory and bessedness, is
studieusly shut out of sight, and when forced into
view is for the most part treated with unaffected
dsrision. The "Kingdom of Ged, "The Kingdom
Of Heaven" "The Kingdom that shall never be
destroyed besides the plan of salvation,
il the whole burden Of Gods book jail revelation
points to it-not as q negative proposition, but as
provision that will positively be fulfilled. We
are to look for it in real tangible, glorious form,
and to nothing less than the personal appearance Of
Jesus as ushering it in. With the Bible in my
hand cannot therefore endorse the opinion that
there can be something in common with the present
and the promised order of things; in other words,
that We may now, for aught we known, be living
under the Millennial era. We are not authorized
TO blend imperfection with perfection, hoping to ex
tinguish the former. At the appearing of Christ
and his kingdom there will be effected CHANGE,
Instant deep and radical, in the condi lion and dis
position of all men, It is mistake to suppose the
king is to remain invisible; he is to be revealed, to
Come to us in the clouds surrounded by abrlliant
escort of angels, and that when his enduring king
dom shall first be inaugurated.
We have the most abundant testimony on this
point. John xix. 8, Acts l. Ia, Acts 3. 20, Il,
Thess. ". 49, being but selected few out of many
passages having this bearing. 1t should be observ-
cd that the resurrection is directly connected with
this event. We shall not all sleep but shall all
be changed; in moment, in the twinkling of ON
syeat the last trump (for the trump shall seund)
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and We
shall oil be changed.
With regard to Papacy, there isscarccly room for
= single doubt to its identity with the beasts of
D.n;e and John and as to the precise period aliot
-, 10 It's existencc Ionlydfcr from thcreading OF
broth.r Harri. In faisg to perceive that the Bible
.,,ctons the idea Of its overthrow previous to the
pessona, appearance Of Jesus Christ.

in another place to signify oy DIVINE agency lhuc-

That Papacy has bcsn wasted and j. wasting
