Is the millennium at Hand ?

The Rev. DR.. Cumming, the noted
London preacher, believes that we are
upon the eve of The Millennium. In dis
courses recently delivered in Leeds, he
gave interpretations Of passages III the
Book of Daniel and the Appeal yPse, which
are novel if not convincing. We quote
from brief report in an English paper:
He SAID the year 1867 seemed TO end
5000 yeas The wotlds hi,tory, and
from The earliest periods onward II had
been the almost universal belief that the
six days of creation were typical of those
6, 900 wears, and that the seventh day OF
creation, or the Sabbath. was typical OF
The millenal res, Of 1000 years. But he
would say that, supposing this were so,
they were at This moment l40 years short
of the 5000 years. Ii is a remarkable fact,
however, that The ablesl chronologists IT.
respective Of all prophetic theories, had
shown that mistake of upwards of 100
wears had been made in calculating the
chronology Of the world, and tina, the year
1860 Of the Christian era began not from
the year 1904 OF the worlds history, but
IN the year 4, 1873, and that the year OF
Christs hi til was five years before that
or in 4, 1872.
If his, premises were just, then they
were at that moment within seven years
of the exhaustion of the 5000 years so
that if 1867 was to be the termination OF
this economy, they had arrived al the Sat.
urday evening Of the worlds long and
dresry week. Hihis were so, il was a
magnlicen, thought that there were some
in that assembly who would never die.
They were just plunging into days such
as they had never before seen /; an Euro
pean war was looming, more dreadful than
that through which they had recently
passed. and when these things happened
i, would be seen that the sentiments he
had uttered were not the dreams OF lanaii-
cism. but the words of soberness and
,rn,h. He was convinced that England
would emerge from the MIDST of these
yiais of wrath ; she was separated from
lhe great apostscy at the era OF the Reidr-
nation, and had never again Joined
her and he believed there was now more
living vital eyang, lical Crisianily 10 this
country than there had been for 500 years
before. His study of prophecy did not
make him gloomy, desponding,. or
sad man but whilst Gods PrecePls
taught him his duties. His providence
lighted up his heart with The sunshine OF
Heaven, and gave him a hope that bright
ened more and more 10 the perfect day.

No, no! that world is ever brigh,
With azure radiance all its own
The streams of uncreated light
Flow round from the eternal throne.
There forms that mortals may not see,
Too glorious for tie eye TO trace,
