Book Which Will Mark an Advance Even
From Previous Ground

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Commercial
Advertiser this afternoon will publish a
synopsis of the la est work of Professor
Chas. 4. Briggs, Of the Union Theological
seminary
The book, "The Messiah of the Gospels. ~
IS intended to follow "MesSiaric Proph-
ecy." which cause! so much comment when
published in 1856. The dedication runs as
follows:
TO Henry Preserved Smith. true schol-
ar. faithful friend and brave companion IN
holy warfare this book is dedic tted in
sympathy and love"
The chapters upon Immaculate coucep-
ton Will perhaps cal! for the most criti-
cism. He snys: The blessed virgin wss
residing in Nazareth of GalIlee. betrothrd
To Joseph % the royal iiue OF David, the
heir of Mes~ilnce promises OF the Old
Testament. Time for marriage had not
Yet come. God had higher appointment
for her TO fulfill as lie virgin mother OF
the Messiah. The Virgins conception Of
Jesus, as announced by the arch augei. is
not to De interpreted rs II IL were d mira

rather as brought by God himself. the

angel simply tEeophnlc presence.
Though &c might be urged tae coming OF
the spirit upon her was invisible coming
after the analogy after many passages OF
the Old Testament. yet the parallel state
ment that the divine power, oversnadowed
her, cannot be So interpreted.
CIR. Briggs makes Il -pecial study OF the

the resurrection Is coming. L. cannot be
said OF IL, II now is, or shat It is at hand
We have. however, IA prediction of three
resurrectisns, first spiritual. last universal,
the intermediate one is distinct from tue
first aud last and impending, being con-
nected with the resurrection OF the Mes
sian himself. Christ first predicted the
importation OF everlasting life to all
who heard of the Messiah and be-
lieve in God. All who have passed out

Is also predicted an hour Is coming. and
now is when the dead will hear the quick

Tue hour coming points to the future and
therefore, indicates a different res urrectio n
from the spiritual resurrection of the pre-
vious section, which WAS already enjoyed
by all who heard the Messiah's words aud
believed. Christ also predicts a universal
resurrection of the dead az the ultlmatu m
