"ing their trade. As these parties are
"valued customers, and buy only in
"large lots, we cannot afford to lose
"them."
We now explain, that these remarks
wess called forth by the wholesale job
bing trade here. As we have but one
price on our goods they justly claim
that as they buy only in large lots, We
should not sell to parties buying small
quantities. We wish here to distinctly
state that we have never had any com
munication, either verbal or written
with any Of the Wilmington Leather
trade, concerning Mr.. Toft.
Mr.. T's. bills have always been
promptly paid, and has always enjoyed
our good opinion. We sincerely regret
that he has been the victim Of a mur.
derous assault. Very truly Yours,
LEAs AND MCVITTr.

For the Republican.
MEssRs. EDITORS Under the above
heading in your issue Of the 18th inst.
appears an article setting forth the
idea that "there are considerable
number of Adventists who believe that
tho world as it now exists will come to
an end to-day or Tomorrow" This
section of the Adventists. are known as
non resurrectionists." "They are also
known as the "Life and Advent
Union" They also have an organ pub
lished at Springfield, Mass, called the
"Herald of Life" Now, Messrs. Editors,
there must evidently be in this article
some mistake, and for this reason. This
body of Advent believers, as such,
have Dever been known to ap-
point any specific day as copies Of their
organ, "The Herald Of Life" comes to
this city weekly, but they are utterly
silent on this subject, of which the ar
ticle from the Public Record refers
to. And this, of itself, should be q
sufficient refutation Of the article in
question.
Bu. again, Elder Frank Burr, in an
swer to the question of an interviewer,
"Are your family preparing for transi-
tion!'' He smiled blandly and said
mot that am aware Of" This, Mr..
Editor does not have the true ring Of an
Adventists answer to this question.
Advent Christians are looking for
transition. But again. This same e.
der Frank Burr is reported as saying:
"We Advent Christians never fix time
when the end Of the world may be ex-
pscted." Now we are prepared to say
that Elder Burr could not have used
such language, tor he knows better.
He cannot have forgotten the time
movement of 43 and 4, or that of 1867
either, both Of which were advocated
publicly and privately by this same
"Advent body of Christians"
Our own convictions are, that the ar
ticle in the Public Record" needs
confirmation, revision and condensa-
ton. But, what if the article be true
in all its details, and these good breth-
ern live to see their mistake--if it be
so-what them does this invalidate the
fact OF the Second Coming Of Christ
personally from heaven not by any
means. Does it involidate the fact, that
Jesus is vet to "redeem Israeli because
two of his disciples on the way to En-
maus after his resurrection, was disap-
pointed III consequence Of his death?
they simply made a mistake in the
time. Did Jesus censure them for it
without explaining the writings of
the prophets in regard to himself? Will
it invalidate the fact of the personal
coming, kingdom and reign Of Christ
on the earth, because his disciples
asked him few hours prior to his As
cension from Olivet, /" If at that time,
he was about TO restore the kingdom
again to Israel"
They too were mistaken in the time
but not in the fact. ''It is not for you
to know the times and the seasons
which the Father hath put in his own
power" said Jesus, and this explains
the reason why the angels mol the Son
did not know these things. "The
Father hath put them in his own power;
but why of all christian doctrine, should
the second personal coming, kingdom
and reign of Christ on the earth meet
with such antagonism Will not a
present personal Christ be present
personal friend! And how cau those
who sing so Justify "Oh, what Il friend
We have in Jesus" sueer and scott at
those who are looking for this same
Jesus, ID fulfil his pro onisr by his per-
sonaL coming again! But it will be far
