take which of these he chooses, the
facts remain the same as to man
taking cognizance Of celestial things
while in the body. But NJ. will
claim that these were remarkable
manifestations Of God to his servants
to fit them for the occasion Of trial,
suffering or duty. l answer the
mind and body were yet united, and
God is the Same now as then, and
who dare say that he would not yet
afford his children assisting NANTES
tations Of the glory that is Just before
them, while they are in the valley
and shadow Of dissolution. That
they may ely fearlcssly through the
iron gates, nor feel the terror as
they pass"
But the widest of all of Ms. views
is that crude old semi -Pithagorean
notion that the "soul as an attribute
of Deity himself, will perpetually
progrsss toward a standard of per-
fection without the possibility of
ever gaining it," This it appears to
me is getting into the meshes of
modern Spiritualism as taught by
some, that man has God in him.
self to develop, till he shall arrive
at perfection of purity and happi-
ness. But God is . being of infinite
pertections, hence all OF his attributes
must be perfect, such as Justice,
mercy, love, truth, power and wisdom
if any or all Of these are imperfect,
then God is imperfect, and if man is
any one of these attributes, God
must remain imperfect, for M. says
man will forever progress towards
perfection without the possibility of
ever gaining it, and that man is an
attribute of Deity himself. NJ. winds
up with two conclusions that are
about as clear as those which precede
in which he assumes to have proven
all that he has asserted, while in fact
he has tailed to prove single prop
osition. The second conclusion is
that God would be partial if it were
true that he had shown brighter dis
plays of celestial glory to seme than
to others. Then we may assume
that he is partial, for he evidently
only permitted Peter, James and
John to see. Moses and Elias, and
Paulsaw the light and heard thevoice
while his comrades only saw the
light. Stephen saw the heaven
opened. John saw the glory of the
God-lighted and fearless city, with
its innumerable company, that no
man could number, and heard and
saw the celestial Messenger that said
to him, II am thy fellow-servant and
ofthy brethren the prophets" 1t is
reasonable to suppose that devoted d
child of God would catch glimpses of
the celestial glory when expiring
peacefully in the midst of loved ones
who are talking with him of heaven,
and learning from him how blessed
it is to witness y SAv.ours prsssaev,
and the coming of redeemed ones to
welcome HIM home at the close of
life's labors; nor does it seem to us to
SAVIOUR of o humble christian spirit to
charge God with partiality because
he may see fit to reveal moro of
future glory too, and through some
than others. Lur ct Teritas Sine

LARGE QUANTITIES OF FREIGHr.-For several
weeks past the depot of the South Carolina Rail-

though large number Of drays, wagons and
carts are employed daily in hauling it, the
quantity seems not to diminish. At one time yes
terday the yards and depots were crammed with
vehicles waiting to be unloaded. In order that
this might be done the gates OF the yards were
closed. A count OF the drays waiting outside
was made, and it was found that there were one
hundred and sixty OF them.

How TO GET CUsroN.-our city merchants
should let the public know what they are doing
in the way Of reducing prices to correspond with
the fall Of gold, as the dealers in New York and
elsewhere are doing. The announcements in our
advertising columns show that not a few Of our
business men have reduced prices to as great an
extent as has been dcne in Northern cities, and
the result is that their stores are crowded with
custo mcrs, anxious to avail themselves OF the
fall. 1t is very likely that other dealers have
marked down their prices, but so long as they
neglect to notify the public Of the fact, they can
not wonder that customers pass their doors to
deal with merchants who advertise prominently
in TIE NEWS that they will sell at gold prices
