but that there was salvation in all Ct them o.
virtue of their moral obedience TO God and BY
their faith in Christ Jesus, if tempered by
holiness the ey.stone of every true religion
1.-THE immortality of the soul'' was, as q
dogma, traced back to the Egyptians, as re
corded by Herodolus, aud borrowed frou
them by the Greeks and Romans, who brough
\ it into the church on their conversion thereto
while the words "IIades' and ''Sheal - bein.
made original Greek and Hebrew synonymous
Expressive of the persoui6ei abode Of deaC
men in general, were allowed to have beer
perverted to the erroneous idea of ''the name
in the subterrsnean regions" and notably b.
the Phdrisees as Josephus was cited to vindi
cate in the course of the lecture. Mr.. Shaw
commended for "a new heaven and a new
earth after the revocation Of the present or
der, aud for the personal reign OF the Messiah
in Jerusalem over the Jews from about A. D
1898. He begins the 1850 years of DAME
and John from the year 638, when the mosque
of Omar was erected in the Holy Places b.
order of the caliph, and when Heraclius alb
solved the faith of his Christian subjects anC
babe "an eternal fdrsWeH to Syria" as Glib
bon puts il in his DECLINE and Fall, vol. III.
p. 43l. That is, according to the speaker
the only protracted determination" that IL a
all answerable to the prediction of Daniel anG
Jesus Matt. XIV. is, because, before that
several things, which interpreters call "abom
nations" were set rp in the temple tempora
rily. Mr.. Shaw also labored to show proc
for two resurrections, the one at the comine
of Christ.-tbat of the just; and the other 1
thousand years later.-that of "the unjust
at the close of the Milennial reign. He de
duced from the Bible evidences for a genera
persecution of all Christians in Europe and il
the Oriental countries just three years and 8
half prior to A. D. 1898. and said, in effec.
that the Papacy would be subdied there ID
its witnessing element against the Mahometar
''desolates'' of the Holy Land. The lecture,
said in these very words; ~ lament nv
changes in religion more than any body else,
because they concern me more" begged par.
don for all that he had ever said against hls
fellow-believers in Jesus; and expressed bis
determination to persevere and die in his re.
covered persuasion and in the communion Of
any evangelical denomination that may be
charitable and broad enough tic receive him
