Too Much Prophecy.


No one thing has more tended to throw
discredit on the evidential value of proph-
ecy than the widespread writings Of a
particular school, who have employed it
for the purpose Of prying into the future,
especially in attempting to determine the
time of the advent of our Lord, and the
circumstances with which it will be at
tended. To these, the books of Daniel
and Revelations have furnished mass of
material which have afforded an oppor-
tunity for an inexhaustible play of the
imagination. Prophecy in their hands
stands in much the same relation to
sound exegesis as historical novels do to
genuine history. Again and again have
the most confident predictions been put
forth, fixing the date of the second ad-
vent; but which have been falsified by
the arrival of the appointed time. Even
Napoleon III has found place in their
lucubrations, but instead Of acting the
part assigned to him he is quietly sleep
ing in his grave. Nothing, however,
daunts this class of writer's Let their
predictions be falsihed by facts never
SO often. yet they invariably rally their
forces.
When they fix a time for our Lords
second coming, and He comes not, they
then discover that the prophetic Scrip
lures admit of its being deferred to some
more distant period, when it is improba-
Bile that the writer will be alive to be
convicted second time of being false
prophet. Is it to be expected that doubt
ers and unbelievers will attach much
weight to the evidence of prophecy when
the argument is persistently handled in
popular literature in such manner that
it makes even devout believers shrink
from the entire subiect7

Recomm endations of the Committee on Leg
islation, .tt

Reoomm endations of the Committee on Leg
islation.
The National Distillers' Association met
again yesterday. The Committee on Legis-
lation reported, in effect recommending
the passage of a law by which the Internal
Revenue Department shall be authorized
to consider as the place or point Of export
any point from which any bonded route
may be willing to issue through bills of
lading to foreign ports, and that the in
spection of spirits for export shall be made
at the designated point, or points, instead
of New York, as now done, the Govern
ment reserving the right, however, to ex-
anime the shipment at any point en- route
and the contracting party to be held re-
sponsible for any illegal or improper ab-
straction of the spirits the cars or other
means If transportation used to be locked
and sealed, and so arranged as to be opened
only by designated officials of the Govern
ment, and providing, also, for an inspec-
ton when the packages to be exported are
removed from the cars, or barges, to the
vessel.
The Committee also recommended that
legislation be secured by which distillery
warehouse bonds be abolished, and in lieu
thereof the distiler's bonds be extended to
cover liability for taxes in bond, the maxi
mum distller's bond to be 100000, with
qualification on part of sureties to that
amount; also that suitable action be taken
to have rectifers' bonds abolished, being, as
they are, burdensome to the trade, and no
protection to the Government
The Committee further reported, recon-
mendiEg, for the purpose Of simplifying
revenue affairs, that well-considered sys.
tenn of capacity tax be devised, submitted
to the trade, and, if approved, its passage
solicited; also recommending that the
present law on the subject of filling and
emptying fermenting tubs be amended so
that fermenters shall be filled but once in
seventy-two hours where the fermenting
period is fixed at forty eight hours, and
once in ninety-six hours, where the fer
menting period is seventy-two hours, the
distiller to fill and empty his fermenters at
his pleasure within the above.named peri
DDS.
The recommendations were adopted.
A resolution that this Association be en-
'larged, SO as to embrace rectitiers, whole
sale dealers and importers, was adopted.
