A Reformed Cannibal on the Resurrec-
tiOn.
"Feejee,na Cannbal Islander, writes that the
ancient Egyptians taught and Christianity teaches
the doctrine of the resurrection Of the body, and,
as his people have eaten the bodies Of missionaries,
which necessarily became part and parcel OF said
cannibals, Feejeen is, therefore, troubled to know
how his fathers Will appear In the resurrection at
the last day, and with what body will they come,
ana an also how the missionaries devoared by MS
size. He, therefore, asks the Christian people or
this land to enlighten him.
Ministerial and Church Movements.
EPIsCoPALIAN.
discussion has been carried on in the press OF
Philadelphia for a few weeks past on the position
Of the Protestant Episcopal church on the doc
trine Of eternal punishment The latest cor
respondence thereon Is from "a Minister of the
Gospeln OF that church, defining what isimeant by
the prayer in the Ltanv, "Prom Thy wrath and
from everlasting damnaHon, good Lord deliver
u.s." He quotes the various renderings OF the
Greek word Gio'a atoniOs and shows that in no In
stance does it mean 'eternal' Or everlasting"
as translated in few PASSAGES. For himself he
"utterly rejects the dogma OF endless torment as
unscriptural, unphiosophical and preposterous
alike degrading to the moral creation and dshon-
Orlng to its Creator, whose nature is
love-" And, moreover, he says he has
failed to discover one passage in the
Bible where the expression "Tny wrath" has
any reference to a life beyond the grave.
