GRANTS LECTURES.
Mr.. Grant. OF Boston, has now been lee
turing in this city for the past two weeks,
mostly in the large Assembly hall to a very
fair congregation.
He does not seem to be building up or
tearing down any particular sect or party,
his object being to promulgate what he
thinks is a very important truth, "the end
of this world" which he seems to believe
viii take place very soon. He told his
hearers one night that he did not expect to
die until that event took place and that in
all probability the most of them would live
TO see the Lord make his second advent to
this,world He appears to be very sanguine
on this subject. And his application Of
prophecy to the history of this world is
marvel lOus TO say the least .
Heis a good historian as well as biblical
scholar, and shows himself to be a gentle
man of high culture.
We understand that he intends staying
another week and lecturing on the nature
of mantle soul, spirit, and final deS-
tiny of the wicked, which is considered to
be one of the greatest questions Of the
times in which we live.
Mr.. Grant is a strong believer in the au-
thenticity of the Bible, and no doubt those
who hear his lectures this week will hear
something that they never heard preached
before, for we understand that he believes
in God of mercy as well as justice. We
are told that he does not believe in the eter
nal torment doctrine as taught by the most
of the orthodox ministers; and he will en-
deavor to sustain his theory from the Bible
NECESSARY AND UNNECESSARY SABBATH LABOR
In some quarters, terms have to stand a
deal of stretching when it comes to dis
tinguishing between necessary and unnec-
essary labor on the Sabbath day. In India,
work was continued on a church edifice on
Sunday, and the preacher in charge of that
particular field defended his course by the
plea that the coolies would not rest on Sun
day, anyhow, but would find work else
