This subject Is attracting universal attention
at the present time. Among the various vinws
that oro advanced in regard to tnis question the
theory Of swcdenborg Is perhaps tic most
peculiar. 1t is tho object Of the Rov. Claunecy
Giles, III volume lately Issued, to develop md
vindicatc this theory. Eo contends that Christ
is not to como hereafter in any literal scnse. liz
Is continually coming 10 His people By tho H.
Illuminating influence Of His Spirit, antt at death
he comes to every Christian by eliminating the
spiritual body from the natural body. Thus, by
the translation Of believers in.o the spiritual
world, they aro cnnbIed to sec the Lord In Ills
glory and to rejoice In tic consciousness Of His
Immediate presence. Those readers who arn
not faE,tliar with the views Of 6wedcnborg OH
thts subject will be Interested IN the perusal OF
these lectures OF Mr. Giles. They arc highly
suggestive, whero they do not carry cpnvictIoI,
us to the main doctrines which they are design
ed to incucatc. Probably The majority OF rcsd-
crs will not accept tile teachings of the author,
but few will regard with dtarcspcet his graceful
handling OF The grand theme which lIu has
chosen. ("fhe Second Coming Of the Lord: Its

that he is for peace rather than war,
lie says that he was sending the per
SONS whose surrender had been de-
manded by the British government,
when his messengers and pickets were
fired upon by the British and the battle
was precipitated. The general who
was in command of the Zulu forces is
now in disgrace for not making cleal
to the British his pacific mission, and
King Cetewayo wants the missionar,
bishop to intercede for him and secure
a renewal of negotiations with a view
to a permanent settlement of all con
tested questions. If this proves true il
will be Il god-send to the British gov
eminent and its supporters in Parli-
ment, so far as the necessity for contin-
uing the Zulu wal will be removed
but there will still remain the knotty
question of the Anglo-African policy
for settlement, and Lord Chelmsford
will be asked TO explain why his mel
