somewhat remarkable discourse was delivered
yesterday at three p. NJ. in the Church OF Mount
Non, University building, Washington square, by
Bishop Snow His text was Fsalms xlM., e-"The
heatnen ragged, the Kingdoms were moved; He utter.
ed His voice. the earth melted" In this passage, al
though the past tense is employed, proceeded the
Bishop are not to understand that at tine time It
was written it had been already uldlled for In the
writings Of tue prophets the past tense is often used
for the future and events OF the last days are spoken
OF as II they were events Of the past. Every one
who reads the prophecies with attention must be
aware OF this. Moreover, 1t Is evident from the
very nature CT the subject Of this text and indeed OF
the whole OF this psalm, that is prophecy OF the
great day OF The Judgment Of the nations. There
four distinct points presented In the textFirst
the raging Of the heafhen second the moving of the

into His own hands and those OF His Son. They also
say, "And the nations were angry. and Thy wrath
ushers In the general Judgment, in which the wrath
mighty day dawns the nations are angry. Tais
agrees with the declaration Of the text that the

lated.
Now, as we are fully prepared to prove, the
seventh angel began to sound In A. d. 1874. There.

when the midnight CRY was sounding and the Brlde
groom was coming TO the marriage, or, IN other
words, Christ was coming to the throne. At that
time the healhen Of corrupt Chrstendom were ex.
