HOW GLENDENNiNG breaches.

In Jersey City. several months ago.
one Parson GlendenDing was accused of
having wrought the ruin of yonpg girl!
We never pursued the thread Of the in
vestigation which followed the charge.
but somehow there still remains an i'm
preston that the Reverend gentleman q
innocence was never fully established:
tho this may, and qnite likely is. an i'm
preston which owes its origin TO the
persistency with which the press and
press dispatches have insisted upon
holding him guilty in spite of his proofs
Of innocence Be he innocent or guilty

connection, he has a plenty of IDEAS Of

Mr.. Glendenning said:

There is something good in every sys-

Thus new religion is founded which
forms the highest expression Of truth.
and This again will III time give way as
human thought progresses and new dis
coveries are made. Thus it is that the
heresy of yesterday becomes the ortho-
doxy of to-day. Tie high priests of in

Great Pyramid itself. This instructive
relic, like the half fused magnifying lens
found at Pompeii, throwsmuch light ON
questions of early workmanship. 1t has
been great puzzle to those who attrib-
uted the first use of iron to date not
much more than 1900 years back, how
such sharp and well defined hieroglyph-
les could have been cut by the ancient
Egyptians on porphyry,. granite and the
hardest stone. From the certain proof
that iron had been produced and wrought
in the age of King Cheops, 5,400 years
ago, we can better understand how the
innumerable and exquisitely sunk SYM
bols and figures were wrought on tombs
temples and sarcophagi. And more than
that from the great similarity in the
mode of treatment that prevailed from
the time of the Ptolemies back to the
very earliest known Egyptian inscrip-
tions, we have something closely ap-
preaching proof Of the use of iron as
far back as the Fifth Egyptian dynasty,
if not in the time of Moses himself; that
is to say. six thousand three hundred
years ago.
