DR. CU3nnNG on The a" SIGys OF THE Tines
DR.. Cumming has been stating his opinion
at Leeds respecting the great events which &C
cocd;ng to his Interpretation OF the Book of
Daniel and the Apocalypse, are looming in
future lie said the year 1867 seemed to
cad 900 years Of the worlds history. and
from the ear.iast periods onward it had been
the almost universal belief that the six DAYS OF
creation were typical of those 5000 years,
and that the seventh day Of creation, or the
Sabbath, was typical Of the mieunial rest Of
LOCO years. But they would say that, sup
posing this were so, they were at this moment
over l40 years short OF the 5000 years. 1t
was a remarkable fact however, that the ablest
chTOnologist irrespective OF all prophetic the
cries, had shown that q mistake Of upwards
0: 100 years had been made in calculating the
chronology OF the world, and that the year
1860 Of the Christian era began not from the
year 1904 OF the worlds history, bat in the
year 4l3s, and that the year of Christ's birth
was FIVE years before that, or in 5l32 If his
premises were just, then they were at that
moment within seven years of the exhaustion
of the 5000 years so that il 1867 was TO be
the termination Of this economy, they had
arrived at the Saturday evening ofthe worlds
long aud dreary week. II this were so, twas
q magnificent thought that there were some in
that assembly who would never die. They
were just plQngiug into days such as they had
never before seen an European war was loom
ing more dreadful than that through which
they had recently passed, and when these
things happened il would be seen that the
sentiments he had uttered were not the dreams
Of fanaticism, bat the words Of soberness and
truth.

Report from the Committee on Vice and
immortality.

Mr.. LAND0N, chairman of the Committee
on Vice and immortality, made report on the
subject Of the Sunday laws, which was ordered
10 be printed in the Legislative Record, as fol
lows;
The Committee on Vice and immortality, TO
which were referred certain petitions asking for
such modification of the Sunday laws as will
allow passenger railway cars and other con-
veyances to run on Sunday beg leave to re-
port
That they have given to this subject the
careful attention due 10 its recognised impor
tance. The first consideration suggested by
the papers in the hands of the Committee, is
that they propose radical change IN the nnt
form aud settled policy Of this Commonwealth
From period long anterior to the Declaration
of Independence until now oar Sunday Laws
have received the sanction, express or implied,
of the legislative authorities of the State Re
peated attempts 10 abrogate or seriously TO
modify them, have met with stern repulSe at
the bar Of successive Legislatures. Numerous
decisions OF our Supreme and local Courts in
Affirming the conStitutionality Of these statutes
have incidentally but cordially commended
their wisdom And the people of our Com
monwealth have, as q body, acquiesced in the
policy thus established, without complaint ::
they have, 10 tact, left Us no room to doubt
that it he's their hearty approval.
With these familiar facts before Us, we feel
warranted in making q somewhat imperative
demand Of any party or parties who seek
through our agency, TO anRul or emaScuIase
these ancient end honored laws. We are con-
strained to say to them =" The presumption
is against you You must be able, in first
place, TO produce convincing reasons 10 sup
port Of the change you would effect 10 the
hereditary policy of the State. Aud. 10 the
second place. you mast show that this change
is demanded by the public voice. With the
highest respect for the petitioners who present
these memorials, We are obliged TO sag that
they have met neither Of these acquisitions
