Was Christ's Kingdom to be Temp
%Oral-Or Spiritual?

Elder G. NJ. GoOde.
] understand the Jews and Christians
agree on three points, viz:
THAT the prophets were inspired.
H.-That they foretold that from tho
house OF David there should arise a Mes.
siah, OF whose kingdom there should bt
no end.
uI.-That this Messiah should be borr
in Bethlehem of Judea.
But the point of difference is, that the
Jews believe the Messiah is to be a temp.
oral prince and that he has not come
The Christians believe he was to be G
spiritual prince and that in fullness Of
time he did come in the person of Jesus
Christ.
Now would like for you to answer
these questions mex Sunday, to-wit:
A.-Isiah 9th chapter 9Th INT 18th verses
Does not the 9th verse refer to the Mes,
siah?.
B.-Does not the 9TH verse declare that
his reign should be temporal?
C.-Is not this in harmony with the
covenant with Abraham contained il
Genesis chapter II, verses 7 and ID?
D.-According to the old testament a
what time should the Messiah appear?

attended Central college for a number OF
years, has been given the responsible
position of prima donna by Theodore
Thomas, the famous ~Orchestran, for his

sang in public Il number of times, gaining
quite Il reputation. She then went to New
| York, studying and singing in the choil

spectator, May 49,

A sharp financial crisis has occurred in Por-
tugal officially attributed to the non-arrival OF
gold expected from Brazil, but really due to
the fai ure of the last loan, the expectation
Of a default, and a consequent collapse Of
credit. The run on the banks in Lisbon he
came SO sharp, that on Monday a decree was
issued granting a moratorium or delay OF
sixty days in meeting financial engagements.
This produced universal distrust and boarding,
so that for some days past there has been no
currency with which to pay wages, except
small and insufficient silver pieces, and dis
tress has consequently been very great. The
price of Portuguese Threes, normally about CO.
fell on Wednesday to sc, and is still hardly
above 40, The economic situation is slowly
growing better, the Government issuing small
notes and coming silver; but it is reported that
the political discomfort has become bitter, and
that in Spain a revolution is expected i'll Lis
hon. This. as we have pointed out elsewhere,
might have serious consequences IN Europe; but
the apprehension, though reasonable, mag be
exaggerated. The artillery is faithful and
Royalist, and a modern mob will not face
shells.

It is reported that the final treaty dellmlt-
ing British and Portuguese possessions IN
Africa has at last been signed. Lord Sails
bury has been anxious to improve the situation
for the Portuguese Monarchy, and at the same
time to conoiliate the Cape. According to the
Times, he has effected this by ceding to Lisbon
a triangle of fifty Thousand square miles north
of the Zambesi, including, as we read 1t, the
Doah between the Zambesi and the Shire up
to the Junction of the latter with the Kuo.
in return, the Portuguese pede Manloaland.
IF this is accurate, Zamhesia is cut off from
Nyassaland, which may one day be inconvenl-
ent: but most present subjects of dispute are
ended. The future can take care of itself, or
rather. the South African Dominion will take
care Of it. We hope, however, that the
Foreign Office has made the right to the
navigation of the rivers sufficiently clear, for
it is there that the danger of shots being hred
arises.
Queen Natalie has been expelled from
Servia. The Radical Government had salts
fed themselves that she aspired to the Regency
as natural guardian of her son, King Alexan-
der, and on the 18th inst. orders were issued
to arrest her Majesty by force. The Project
carried them out, but time had been given to
the Queen to warn her partisans, and the
gendarmes we're attacked by the citizens, the
Carriage turned back, and the Queen replaced
in the Palace. The Government then an
nounced that the attempt would be abandoned;
but late at night they sent troops to the
Palace, broke in the doors, and forcibly carried
Queen Natalie to the station, whence she was
conveyed to Semlin, within the Austrian from
tier. This act of violence, which was wholly
illegal, las reused all Belgrade, and a strong
party outside, against the Government, and
may, unless som desperate step is taken, lead
to it's overthrow. Many observers believe that
this step will be taken in the shape Of an
invasion of Bulgaria, in which case the Coy
eminent would be secretly aided from st.
Petersburg. The Russians it should be OBJ
served, are clearly not backing Queen Natalie
