were held up all over the church, and II would be
dificult to approximate the number, bat the

MI. Hammond read from Romlns, WI, s, and
dWelt specially en- the paragraph, "Chri't died
for the ungodly." He related portion of his
tourney to Jerusalem, and said that when they
reached Assyris he preached to tho children, the
boys and girls being separated by high fence.
In heather countries women were not hopored,
and it was thought disgraceful fo- o man to sit
in their presence. His wife had been stoned on
more than one occasion for walking in company
with him on the streets. In this enlightened
land women were allowed to show their faces and
received Difference from men. Surely girls and
women should reverence and love Jesus, II for
nothing more than that they were permitted to
enjoy liberty and equality among men.
He illustrated TO the children by stories how
Christ suffered and died for their redemption,
and what was requisite for their conversion and
salvation.
After a number of short prayers, a children's

lem He being in splrit-that is, botng 10 q state
to see and hear spiritual things-had truths un-
f1loed to HIM; or rather, committed to his charge
in spiritual vision, and recorded what he saw and
heard The chief use OF the record is to show men
spiritual truths which may help them In the work
OF regeneration, and q secondary, but very im-
portsnt is to give us Information about the aP
pearsnce OF
THINGS IN THE OTHER WORLD.
The circumstances recorded in the Book of Reve-
latiops were seen in "the world Of spirit" or the
,snsn ess o. me
world, as does the death Of the body. II is to be
remarked in regard to these visions OF 81: John
things which are seen in this world In the par
ticulaIs, indeed, they always differ from the OBJ
jects and events Of this world and this lie but 10
many particulars in these visions that seem quite
incoDgruous, and which would be impossible upon
this earth, yet they are sufficiently like earthly
scenes and circumstances to show that the world
where they were seen must be, in the main, like
this. Throughout the Bible there are evidences
that the spiritual is in general appearance Ike
this world. The grand difference between that
world and this is that objects there are composed
of spiritual substances, while those Of the earth
are com nposed Of matter, and the events OF that
world are subject only to laws of spirit, while in
this world there is q further subIection to what
may be called national Laws. The purpose of the
Lord in creating the earth was man, not man as
he is here, but
MAN BECoMEs AN ANGEL
The earth, sil Of its objects and events are for
the sake OF man; the spiritual world, with all Its
accessories, is for the same end.
1t is becoming every year more evident to the
cultivated Christian mind and heart that the
Holy Word is spiritual, and not natural How,
then, these de- criptiors Of houses, cities and
other objects OF the spiritual world true descrip-
tions? In this manner houses, cities, &C., per-
form a certain use for man-tQr man as q spir
itual being. They produce certain impressions
or effects upon his thoughts and feelings. 1t is
necessity OF his being that there should be some
thing without him which responds to what is
within-that he should be surrounded with OBJ
jects that react upon his activity. A man exist
ing in blank vacuity is an inpossibility 1t is an
absolute necessity of man that he should be sur
rounded by an objective world, that the object
thereof may excite his feelings and exercise his
thoughts. The principal use Of house may
seem to be shelter for natural bodies; but this
is only a secondary use: the primary use regards
activity, and thence growth and culture Of the
spirit-the real man. And thence II follows that
tie real man will still have need for q house
after he has risen above physical things, or the
natural world. Because OF this need OF the soul
the Lord prepares mansions for us in his beav-
enly Kingdom. "In my Fathers house are many
mansions; II It were not SO would have told You.

Christian to Anti-Christian.

WASHINGTON, teO. %, 1876.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: "AntiChrIs:isn" is By no means a novelty.
He belongs to a class thGt has existed since the
early days Of Christianity.
IL is true that thoee who think like hin, If he
may be said to think az all, are rarer in modern
than in ancient times. The Apostle Paul, man
remarkable for his charity, concluded that people
Ike "a. "did not understand either what they
said or whereof they affirmed"
Mr.. Prince will not be likely to present himself
as an object Of worship, now that he is converted
to toChristianity, because he is Jew or Christian;
he may feel happy in having secured the app-o.
bation Of "A.-C." while q Jew In religion es we'll
as nationality, and 1t may yet be his privilege to
retain the esteem Of "A.-C.," Notwithstanding
his conversion to Christianity.
A prominent feature OF Christianity is that
those who profess 1t present themselves rather
instead Of boasting OF themselves they present
"JesUs" as 1.-THE object of alteration"
H"A.-C." Will read Acts. X:25, 26, he will learn
that Peter was approached by Roman officer,
who came kneeliDg to him; Peter declined the
profered honor and preached to the Centurian,
Jesus"
1t will suggest itself to every one that as long
and c:y. "You can't hit me" they do not act as
fairly as Mr. Prince did, who came even with his
prejudices and held himself as open to conviction
as prejudiced man could, and was convinced.
There is but one Jew worshiped by Christians,
and that one has been attested to them as the
Messiah, the "Prince OF the House Of David, !" the
Son Of God.
Let him that readeth understand, and If he has
no understanding, try to get some.

Concerning the Evangslists."

WASHINGTON, ID. C.- EeD 70, 1873.
To The Editor Of the National Republican:
SIE: A communication in your excellent paper
Of this morning with the above caption, signed
"Sleepy Fellow" and professedly emanating
from the Post Office Department, has soubtIess
been denounced by every lady and gentleman
employed in the said Department who has had
the opportunity of reading It. That any person
should have published such a communication in
the name Of the employees of this Department
without their authority is only to be accounted
for by the character Of the author, as portrayed
in the spirit of the communication ITSELF Nine
tenths of the employees in the Post Once Depart
ment are at least nominal Christians, and In SYM
patby with the meetings now In progress in this
city under the direction Of Nessrs. Hammond and
Bentley. The correctness Of the statement that
there are Jews, Atheists, Deists, Pantheists,
MaterIalists, Modern Spiritualists MystIcs,
Transcendentalists, Swedenborgians, Mahom-
ment is not conceded. The writer Of the commu-
nication alluded to will very likely find that his
challenge TO a public discussion will not be ac-
cepted by Messrs Hammond and Bentley, who
are Engaged in much more important work,
(Which meets the approval of all well-meaning
persons Of every Christian denominaton) for it is
not probable that they will turn aside frsm this
laudable calling to violate the Scriptural iniunc
tiOn. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs
neither cast ye your pearls before swine"

Poropa Plastsrs.

Porous plasters have been much improved &C.
Gently in BENsoN's CAPCISE PLASTER, by a
new method Of treating the rubber so that It
contains more electricity than formerly, one Of
the qualities for which porous plaster has been
especially valued, and by the addition of Gap
cine, which causes the plaster to act immedi-
ately and makes It tho most reliable remedy
known for colds, rheumatism, lameness of the
back and muscles, kidney complaint, or any or
the diseases for which porous plaster or lini-
ment has been used. The manufacturers are
pleased to learn that there Is a large class Of
conscientious druggists who, having become con-
vinced ef the great merit Of BENsoN's CAPCINE
PLASTER, recommend It in preference to all
others. OF such are E. Drehn, Newark, N. J.;
Chas. Althan and NJ. NJ. Cook, Brooklyn, N. Y;
Powers, Richmond, Va. Vincent, Of Broadway.
Brooklyn, says "he recommends no other;'
GulIck & Berry, Terre Haute, Ind, say "they
are convinced from results from sales there that
they are much superior to ordinary porous
plasters;" Cole & Flynn, Danville, Va, say
Nthey have given satisfaction in every case;" w.
T. Weber, Springfield, Mass, says, They con-
Thus speak many Others. The manufacturers
also regret to hear that in some instances drug
gists, acting from pecuniary motives, as not so
large profit Is made on them as on ordinary
porous plasters, have used their influence to per-
suade their customers TO substitute some other
article In place of BENsoS's CAPCINE PLASTER.
When you ask for BENsoN'S CAPCISE PLASTER
be sure you get nothing else Price, IS cents.

KENO.
The Game Again Broken Up.

Last Saturday night, shortly after IL o'clock,
Lieut.. Skippon, Of the Fifth precinct, accom-.
panied by Sergeants Fainter and Dinsmore and
01cers Longstreet and Block, proceeded quietly
to the corner Of Eleventh street and Pennsylya-
nia avenue, where, back Of Thomas Dowling's
anction store, they had received inform alton that
game Of keno had been started and was in full
bloom. The place was entirely distinct from the
auction house, and was kept by Henry Miller
The officers came upon the parties unsuspect-
tngly, and not only found the game in full blast
but the room crowded with the deyotees Of that
innocent pastine." There was also game OF
hazard in full operation, and one venturesome
young man had staked his pile In the field on the
high side, when he found It raked down in an un-
looked-for manner. The unanticipated visit of
the police necessarily put q sadden estoppel in
the games, and the players regardless Of chips or
their money equivalent, dropped them and thsir
CARDS, and proceeded to search out the quickest
and safest means OF exit. Many escaped through
the window, but this being small afforded slow
egress for thinning out the crowd. After num-
Der Of them had been recognized and their names
secured for witnesses they were permitted to de-
part. The proprietor wa; arrested, and with his
paraphernalia taken to the Fifth precinct station,
where be was afterwards released on bail for hts
appearance to-day before Judge Smell.
