A party of hunters who have been
in the Rocky Mountains several weeks
report that in many of the valleys the
snow is over twenty five feet deep, and
trappers and hunters who have been
in the mountains for years state that
they never saw as much snow there
before They predict heavy floods in
the Spring and an immense June rise
in the Mississippi when the snow melts.

Contrary to some predictions, the
meeting of the stockholders of the Mt.
Holly Fair, on Saturday, did not result
in the dissolution of the society AT a
slimly attended meeting two weeks
ago, it was decided not to build $25,-
900 grand stand this year or make any
permanent improvements. This action
the directors thought unwarranted and
resigned, and the meeting then ad-
journed without filling the vacancies.
The meeting on Saturday was the
largest ever known in the history of
the society, and the utmost good feel
ing prevailed. The upshot of it was
that the old board of directors was re-
elected without a single dissenting
vote, and without any restriction what
ever in regard to permanent improve
ments The directors afterward met
and elected Isaac Fenimore, President;
Henry I. Budd, Secretary, and Edward
B. Jones, Treasurer. Last year the
society paid off it's entire Indebtedness
and now has balance of 81, 100 in the
treasury.
A man who called himself George E.
Taylor, died in Mount Holly Jail re-
Gently. He was evidently a man of
more than ordinary intelligence, who
had travelled abroad and was refined
and gentlemanly in his department.
He applied to one of the justices of the
peace of Mt. Holly to be committed to
Jail, and, when asked why he took such
step, told how he had become reduced
in circumstances through dissipation,
and being entirely without funds, and
too sick to go any further, he wanted
to go to Jail until he was we'll enough
to go on. Justice Holeman granted
his request and sent him to Jail. The
turnkey took an interest in him, and,
seeing that he was ill, gave him cell
apart from the other prisoners, but
despite kindness and attention he
grew rapidly worse and died in a few
days. On his person was found an
army discharge in the name of Richard
B. Griglietti, of Jersey City, and this,
with other information obtained, en-
abled the turnkey to communicate
with the relatives of the deceased at
Jersey City. One of them, a sister,
came ON and Unidentified the deceased.

"Turnr'LL BE NO soRBow THERE. -

All of our conceptions of the Heaven
above" are formed from the descriptions
which the Scriptures contain of the heavenly
kingdom in the earth; but indeed these de-
scriptions may be the conceptions of the in-
spired writers of the felicities of the Heaven
which is to be our Eternal Home. The end
of all suffering and of sorrow, and of want,
and fullness of Joy with pleasures eyermore
in the companionship of the holy and the be-
loved, form the basis of all these conceptions
and descriptions of the heavenly life, whether
to be enjoyed here on earth or in the heaven
above. In the Revelator's vision those who
had washed their robes white in the blood of
the Lamb, and had come out of great afflic-
tons, were together, an innumerable multi
tude, before the throne of GOD, worshiping
Him increasingly who would protect them in
His tabernacle and dwell with them forever.
No hunger, nor thirst, nor scorching heat
symbols of earthly sutfering.-will ever harm
them more; but JESUS, the gloIifed One,
will take care of them as a shepherd tends
his flock, and GoD Himself, with plying ten
derness, will wipe away all tears from their
eyes. Glorious picture of the heavenly king
dom, when men should dwell together with
GoD on the earth and worship Him who is a
spirit, in spirit and in truth, and be perpetu-
ally guided by the spirit of life in JESUS, the
Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. This
spiritual felicity may be experienced on the
earth, through faith in, and fellowship with,
CHRIST and GOD, who dwelt in him and will
dwell by His spirit in US through him. The
calamitous experiences incident to this i'm
perfect life may not be removed or avoided,
but We shall be raised above them, and shall
be enabled to see in them gracious meanings
that will transform them from sources of
sorrow to occasions for rejoicing. This life
will thus prove an earnest of the experiences
that await Us when "Time shall be no more"
aud
eve all shall meet in Heaven"

ARGUMENT FOR CHRISTIANITY
An Argument for the Truth of Chris
tianity. In Series of Discourses. By
Rev. 1. d. Williamson, ID. d. 16mo.
252 pages. 90 cents.
This Is d series of thirteen discourses
in defense of the fundamental doctrines
of the Christian religion. Among the
themes presented are the following ::
Power and Wisdom OF God, Divine Be-
nevolence, Government of God, Rewards
and. Punishments, Resurrection of the
Dead, Objections to the Gospel Consid-
cred, etc. The argument running through
the several chapters is model OF state
ment and is very finely enforced and
illustrated. The popular objections Of
the unbeliever are considered in candid
spirit, and their fallacy exposed, with the
result to strengthen Christian faith and
to show that Christianity is religion OF
reason when properly interpreted and
understood. This little volume is mine
of wealth for those who would study
Christianity apart from the traditions of
the old faith. Several editions have been
printed since its first publication; but the
volume will be substantially new to many
readers, it having been out of print for
over fifteen years. Address orders to

The DISCIPLINE OF SUFFERING.

The Captain of our Salvation was made
perfect through suffering. "For the JOY that
was set before him he endured the cross"
Hebrews xii. p. Faith in the eternal good
ness of COP and the benevolent issues of
providence and life, transforms all Affections
into means of spiritual education and growth.
Patient endurance of the trials of life devel-
ops the graces and virtues of the Christian
character (see Romans v. ~. Those in the
Revelator's vision who were spotless and vic
torious, and who were near the throne con-
tinuously in the spirit of worship, had come
out of great tribulation and had shared the
fellowship of CHRIsT's suffering and death,
were purified in the fires of persecution and
washed IN the blood of CHRIsT's sacrifice, for
whom they suffered and whose glory they
now also share. Though we may not, like
James, Count it all joy when we fall into
many trials, 1--WE may remember that "whom
the LORD loveth He chasteneth," and that
sour affections may work for US an exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory" The whit

come out of tribulation, COPS great thresh-
ing machine that separates the golden grain
from the chaff. Those who are INCREASINGLY
in the temple of the LORD, clothed in gar
ments of righteousness, and chanting their
perpetual songs of victory, have usually
walked the rough and thorny ways of life
that have both tried and tempered their
spirits. Through Christian faith and Divine
trust the affective allotments of life are
transformed into spiritual blessings, and
made to minister to our growth in the graces
and virtues of the Christian character, "while
we look not at the things which are seen, but
at the things which are not seen," which are
spiritual and in the heavens, where we may
behold visions of the transformed earthly in
our experience of the spiritually real.

LITERARY NOTES.

Nearly every man, and certainly every
woman, is fond of taking the words of wis
dom and of comfort dropped by those best
fitted to SOW the seeds, in small bits. Cassell
and Company made no mistake when they
put up four little boks in four little boxes, in
which are rung "Holy Chimes" sold World
Chimes" and "Bible Chimes" Each liIipu-
tan volume is bound in red crepe cloth, and
filled with inspiring words and appropriate
illustrations and decorations.
In this age of skepticism it is well to read
such books as are printed in Cassell's "Helps
to Belief" series. In these five little volumes
celebrated English divines have given us the
result of their convictions on the Miracles
the "Creation," the "Morality of the Old
Testament" prayer" and the divinity of
Our Lord" The books are of a handy size
for ready consultation, and should prove a
tower of strength for the doubters.
The November number of The American
Antiquarian closes the eighth volume of this
valuable magazine. 1t is one of the best
printed numbers that has appeared and CON-
tains some expensive cuts, especially the en-
craving of Apache Runners taken from a

Origin and Antiquity of the Iroquois by Rev.
w. M. Beauchamp is also valuable as il gives
some new facts. The associate editors keer
up with the progress of Archaeological study
in all parts of the world and their notes bring
out many interesting facts. The Book Re,
views also represent the current literature in
the line of Archaeology. The magazine has
long been regarded as authority and ha;
come to be essential to all those who would
keep informed on Archaeology in its variou:

to which the Christians were subjected, es-
pecially uuder Nero, may be represented in
their glory. Such scene would accord with
the Revelator's purpose, and has already
been described as the disclosure of the fifth
seal wi. 81. 1t would encourage the fidelity
of those prosecuted unto death to be faith
full unto death, that they might receive the
crown of life" iii. 10Y.
The lamb opens the Sixth Seal. Instantly
there are all the signs that usher in day of
the Lord. The darkened sun, the lurid moon
the shower of meteors, the shriveling heav-
ems, the terror with which men call upon the
rocks and mountains to fall on them and
hide them, are the metaphors of vast earthly
changes and catastrophes. At first sight it
might we'll seem as if they could describe
nothing short of the final confagration and
ruin of the globe. But there is not one of
these metaphors which is not found in the
Old Testament prophets, and in them they
refer in every instance to the destruction of
cities and the establishment of new cove
nants, or TO other earthly revolutions. Not
only had our Lord adopted these vivid Orien-
tai symbols to describe the signs of his COM
ing in the fall of Jerusalem, and the close of
the old aeon, but ne had expressly said that
this generation shall not pass aicay till all
these things be fulfilled" Before the
opening of the Seventh Seal there is a pause.
The Angels of the winds had been hidden to
prevent their ravages, until the servants of
GoD are sealed upon their foreheads by the
Angel from the sunrising. A purely
ideal number are sealed - namely twelve
times twelve thousand-twelve thousand from
each of the twelve tribes. Besides
these, the seer beheld an innumerable multi
tude of every nation and all tribes and peo-
pies and tongues arrayed in white and with
palms i'll their hands. One of the elders
tells him that these are they who came out of
the great tribulation-that is, the Neronian
have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb. The whole company are "the elect
gathered together from the four winds, from
one end of heaven to the other" The 144, 900
seem to represent the ideal Israel. The
''numberless multitude which is almost the
identical expression used of the Neronian
martyrs alike by Tacitus and by Clemens
Romanus, are those who have died for the
truth of CHRIST, whose souls st. John has
already seen in shadowy throngs beneath the
altar EARLY Days Of Christianity, F. W.
Farrar.
The successive seals disclose in order the
judgments to be sent by COP on some great
persecnting power. This is the theme and
this only. But here is a revelation, not of
judgments on the guilty, but of blessing,
first upon those Jewish converts who, having
accepted CHRIST by faith, are marked for ex-
emption from the judgments coming on their
land; and next upon GENTLE converts consid-
cred as looming out of great tribuiation."
They have their sublimely glorious reward
around the throne of COP and the Lamb

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 10, 1886.
THE SAINTS in HEAVEN.
The TITLE OF THE LESSON.
Revelation vii. SILL

-
The committee who determines the Inter
national Lessons has entitled this Lesson,
''The Saints in Heaven" 1t is rather de-
scription of the saints in the victorious heav-
emily kingdom in the earth. Possibly the
martyred saints in their glori6ed existence
are included in the picture. But the scene
described in our Lesson is manifestly sym
bolic representation of the victorious Church
of CHRIST on earth gathered out of all races
and nations worshiping COP in the spiritual
temple of the New Jerusalem, which came
down from COP out of Heaven when GOD
made His tabernacle with men to dwell with
them, to become their GoD and make them
His people,-the true spiritual Israel under
the victorious reign of the Messiah of COP.
The Lesson is part of the scene which the
Revelator beheld through the open heaven of
his vision. The scene itself was not real
ity, but vision. 1t was representation IN
the heavens ofwhat must shortly come to pass
on the earth. 1t was picture of heavenly
state on the earth, and was description of
things in Heaven, only as divine life and its
experiences in the earth are the beginning of
the life to be continued and enjoyed in Heav
en-; only as eal tn may become like Heaven.
The noblest employments and highest joys
of earth may be like those in Heaven. Earth
ly scenes of worship and of work may typify
heavenly employments, just as visions of the
heavenly may symbolic the earthly. Our
Lesson is a description of "The Saints in
Heaven" only il the sense that
"rhe saints in heaven and those on earth,
Bat one communion make"
