dams throughout India, spoken by some 50,-
900, 600 of people On account of the death
of his wife Dr.. kellogg was obliged to re-
turn to this country with his four little
children, one an infant. When he found
himself unable to make any adequate pro-
vision for his children so as to return to In
dia, he resigned his appointment under the
board. Immediately afterward, in January,
1877, he was called to the pastorate of the
Third PRESBYTERIAN Church of Pittsburg,
greatly to his surprise. He accepted and
served the church with marked success for
six months, when he was called to the
chair of Theology in the Western Theo-
logical Seminary, where he began his work
in September, 1877.

PremillenniaIists Right?" On this subject
Dr. kellogg holds that not only the good
but also the evil are to increase until the
Lord comes, but that the final triumph of the
good will only be ushered in by the personal
return of the Lord.
DR.. Kellogg thinks, when he sees the
awakening in Israel, the rapid advance
toward the universal preaching of the
gospel, that if these continue the coming of
Christ could not we'll be far of. He has

permits him to return, as the obstacle on
account of health is removed, since he can
now do his work on the mountains 1000 feet
above the level of the sea, where the cli-
mate is as fine if not better than the climate
of this country. The Board of Foreign
