A WRITER in the EUening Journal of
Saturday, j. II. Jordan M. D., in view
of the teaching Of the premillennialists,
and the delusion under which they
Finger that the second coming" of our
Lord is an event yet future, offers to
discuss the subject. He evidently ac-
cepts the Universalist view on this
subject and remarks: 81 believe and
maintain that the so-called second
looming of Christ, or His coming in
s'the clouds of heaven, with power and
'gTeat glory, etc, often mentioned in
''the New Testament, is an event long
E'since passed; that it took place over
eighteen hundred years ago, at or
ssabOut the time Jerusalem was destroy
s'ed by the Romans. And this, | am
prepared to prove by Holy writ DR..
Jordan will have no difficulty in affirm
ing his proposition. 1t is one of the
clearest teachings of the New Tesla
ment that the second coming of our
Lord is an event which has already
taken place.

THE WAsHBURN HOME in Minneapo-

G. G. Washburn, has an endowment Of
1915, 900, to which Hon. W. d. Wash
burn has added $4,000 in real estate
for the location of the institution. The
Washburns are a Universalist fam
lily, and Mr.. w. D. Washburn is one of
the trustees of DR.. Tuttle's church in
Minneapolis. A member of the same
church has recently given $4,000 to
found Home for Fallen Women, and
another has given $13,0 900 for Home

IN VIEW of the sympathy of Rev. DIR.
McGlynn, of New York, prominent
Roman Catholic clergyman with Henry
George, and the new political combina-
tion of which he is chief, Archbishop
Corrigan, in pastoral letter, warns the
people to be on their guard against GER
tain principles and theories which assail
the rights of property, as they are to-day
proclaimed and espoused by many who
would not wilfully advocate what is
wrong. The Archbishop points out
what he claims to be the fallacy of these
theories, and advises the people to rely
on the teachings of the church. 1t is
plain that just here is splendid op-
portunity for the Archbishop to call
one of his eloquent priests to reckon
ing.

A PROMPT RESPONSE.

Mrs. W. A. Pratt, of Cedar Rapids, the
regularly constituted treasurer of the
Iowa Woman's Association, writes the fol-
lowing note which is self-explanatory and
pleasantly so. This is the first response,
so far as heard from, to the new move
ment by which our Iowa Universalist
women propose to help the State Conven-
ton in its missionary work:
"You will remember the movement made
during the Convention, by the ladies of the
Iowa Association to establish a permanent
missionary fund. Mrs. King, of Mount
Pleasant, sends me the $25 which she pledged
for Henry county, requesting me to ask the
publication of the same through your col.
umns."

ANOTHER TESTIMONY on the matter
to which paragraph was devoted last
week, e, the way in which the current
orthodox theories ripen into infdelity.
In a sermon week ago, Mr.. Beecher
said that 1.-The attacks of outspoken in
''fidels on the Bible did less harm than
4'the efforts of men who INSTRUCTED the
"the real meaning of the Scriptures
''while trying to whirl into prominence
1'their own views and theories about
"the Bible" This observation fits adj
mirably the case of the able theologians
who, in this city last week at the pro-
phetic conference "whirled" into lit
tie temporary prominence many of their
own personal decisions under the guise
of exact biblical teaching.

SSAOJ Y" WIN OOdtu III Ou0 lake OF 0r6.
In the common opinion, these two
things are identical, but here we see
that they are not the same, for one is
cast into the other, and thus DESTROYED.
To fully comprehend this passage, our
friend needs to study the entire book of
which it forms part. This portion of
revelation is devoted to a highly figura-
tive and scenic description of the final
triumph of the gospel over heathenism
on the one hand, and its enemies
among the Jewish people on the other.
Death and hell are used metaphorically
as representative of the darkness, op-
position and desolation of heathenism
and of unbelief among the Jews, which
is to be conquered in the progress of
the gospel towards its final triumph in
the contamination of the Redeemer's
kingdom. The flake of fire" is the met
aphor of the revelator for utter destruc-
ton. To cast death and hell into this
lake of fire signifies that all opposing
forces and agencies in the way Of the
triumph.o of the gospel are to be destroy
ed, utterly annihilated. The first death
was the death of the Jewish people in
their sins-the same death described by
the prophet Ezekiel, chapter xxxvii, IL,
Ia. The second death represents the
final overthrow of the Jewish common
wealth and the destruction of the ma
ton. These are all strongly colored
metaphors, describing events which
were to take place in the present world.
The passage has no reference whatever
to the future state, and refers to the
same historical events which formed
the burden of Christ's words in Matt.
XIV, 80. The judgment therein de-
scribed is identical with that which is
described figuratively in Revelation.
These hints may prove useful to our
correspondent; and if he desires to
study the book of Revelation, under the
most intelligent Universalist guidance,
we recommend DIR. Whittemore's COM
mentary for that purpose.

PRAYER FOR THANKSGIVING.

Benefcent Parent, we thank Thee for the
abundant blessings we enjoy; for the boun-
ty of the harvest, and the overlooking cup
held to our lips by Thine indulgent hand;
for health of body, for peace of mind, for
home, and country, and religion, and the
hope of heaven. We bless Thee for the glad
some gatherings of those long severed, which
this day witnesses, and that those who are
gone from earth, will one day be met again,
in the house not made with hands. o quail
ify us to lift the psalm of Thanksgiving to
Thee, and may the utterance of our gratitude
this day be token of our continual offering,
a perpetual sacrifice of Thanksgiving and
obedience, of worship, and love, and service

much in fashion this season on account
of the drouth.

PROVED AN ALIBI, - George Jobling,
the tramp arrested in Potosi and Jailed
here on suspicion of having committed
the outrage at Patch Grove, though posi-
lively identified by the Bauerman girl as
the man, has succeeded in proving an
alibi and has been released Last Thurs
day Sheriff Richards, accompanied by
Thos. Mcmahon, took Jobling to Mineral
Point. They found that he had taken
breakfast ut the house Of John Temlev.
mile and a half east of that place on
Tuesday morning, July 20; that he took
dinner at John Fallon's, seven miles
further east, on Monday the 10th; that
he slept ut n place near Moscow, further
east. Sunday night the 18th, and break
tasted at Burgess BursteTs in Dane
County; Saturday evening she 18th (the
day the deed was commi5ted) he cot
supper at the house of Ole johnson, in
the town of Primrose. ten miles south of
Mount Horeb. He was positively iden-
tilted by man and two women. who
gave complete description of Jobling
before seeing him, and told what he had
eaten just rs he had related it to the
sheriff. He proved that he was eating
his supper at seven o'clock, Just two
hours later than the deed was committed.
The chain of evidence proving his abb
was so complete. and so exactly CORE
sponded with his previous statements,
that suspicion of his connection with the
crime with which he was charged is no
longer possible.

THE MISSISSIPPI. Water in the Mis-
sissippi River is very low, probably
lower than ever before. Very few boats
are now running, and those that do run
are unable to make schedule time on
account of the shallow water.
