DR.. Cummings on the asigns Of the
20 8aA.H - Times" sipNA Nh4

Dr.. Cumming hes been stating bis opin>
ion at Leeds respecting the great events
which. according to his interpretstisa lof
the Book of Daniel and the Apocalypss,
are looming in the future. He sid the
year 1857 seemed to end six thousand
years of the worlds history, and from the
EARLIEST periods onward it had been The
almost universal belief that the six days Of
creation were typical ofthose six thousaDd
years, and that the seventh day Of creation
or the Sabbath, was typical Of the millsn.
nial rest of one thousand years. But they
would say that, supposing this were 90,
they were at this moment over one hum
dred and forty years short Of the six
thousand years.
1t was remarkable fact, however, that
the abltst chrenologists, irrespective OF
all prophetic theories, had shown that =
mistake ofupward Of one hundred years
had been made in calculating the ehton0ls
|ogy ofthe world, and that the year 1850
of the Christian era began not from The
year 1904 of the worlds history. but in
the year 4l3s, and that the year Of Christs
birth was five. years before that, or IN
1882. aA oli q . -9as sss4' $50 "a"
If his premises were just, then Trey
were all that moment within seven years
of the exhaustion of the six Thousand yeals,
so that if 1851 was to be the termination
of this &c onomy, they had ,arrived at Ahs
Saturday evening of the worlds long and
dreary week. If this were 30, 1t was 3
magnificent thought that there were spms
in that assembly who would uever die,5-
They were just plunging into days such
as they had never before seen; an Euro.
pean war was looming, more dreadful thsh
that through which they bad Escsstiy
passed, and when these things hapPsped
lit would be seen that the sentmsnts
he had uttered were, not the dreams
Of fanaticism, but the words Of COZ
berness and truth. als pas 'iess'1oi eei
