Have you the tins to spare to cOu.
slider the following questions:
LIST, If the Divine Being inspired
the Prophets to foretell events, in
yolying what would be brought to pass
by the schemes planned by kings rnd
executed by armies under their com.
mand, was it possible that such events
could have been prevented by human
agencyi
I'd, five allow that God, by His
Holy Spirit, moved the Prophet Isaiah
to point ont the sufsrings Of tho Msssi.
ah az We raadIn bis SD chapter, can we
reasonably believe that, by any human
agency, these suiFerings could have
been preventedi
Sd, Can wc reasonably believe, and
on rational grounds defend that belief,
that Peter vas possessed ofau agency
by which he could have avoided deny
ing his Mister, as Jesus told him he
would?
4th, five allow that Jesus Christ
appeared to Saul, for tho purpose Of his
conversion to Christianity, and to make
him minister and a witness Of gospel
truth to the Gentilei, can we reasouab-
ly believe that it was possible, by any
agency which Saul possessed, to bave
prevented his conversion, or have
avoided his ministry
9th, Have we any reason to believe
that Saul was possessed Of any freedom
Of will, which was violated by the ac-
ton of that power by which he was
Converted2
By stating these questions, Mr.
Mccartney, 1 wish not to puzzle your
mind; but believing as l do that the
great subject embraced in them is not
generally understood as 1t ought to bo,
Il is hoped that by calling attention to
it, some useful inquiry will thereby be
induced. IfMr. Mccartney has not
got the time to give these questions
due consideration, will my friend & DR..

Voting by Telegraph.

The German Reichstag is hereafter
going to do its voting by telegraph; and
there is very little doubt that we shall
soon have the same process introduced in
our American legislative bodies. The
wires are to be so arranged that each
member can indicate his vote from his
seat In front of the seat are two buttons,
one indicating yes, the other no. A
pressure on the button telegraphs the vote
to circular table, in front OF the Presl-
dents desk, upon which the names OF all
the members are written down, so tina
Immediately after pressing the button
each member can see a piece OF paper
appear under his name with his yes or no
on 1t. Underneath this circular table are
three other tables, the first one OF which
shows Immediately the total number OF
ayes, the second the total number OF noes,
and the third the total number of all the
votes cast, whereby the former two can
be checked. 4 box in another part of the
house at the same time has an arrange
ment similar to that used by our banks in
getting the reports of the sales OF stocks
IN the New York market, which issues a
narrow slip of paper with the name of
each Individual member and his vote
upon 1t. 1t is calculated that it will only
take halt minute to count votes by this
method.
