Second Beast.
Continued from last week.

Bro. Perkins says the, second
wonder was the making of IN
image to the first beast, No
kingdom had ever attempted to
do such a thing before"
cannot see for my life where
the wonder would come in ut. For
King Henry to set upin his king
dom; The same kind OF church
which the Pope of Rome was ru.
Ter ever. There was no wonder
in JEFF Davis setting up his gov
eminent at Richmond over the
Southern confederacy. 1t is no
use for us to cite the reader to
any certain time, place or king
dom, to show up the fact, that
long before the age of King Hem
ry the VIII of England, that
kingdoms grew out of Kingdoms
and the like has been since; and
that we can still look for them un.
til the time comes when the king
dom that Daniel spoke of shall
break in piecesall other kingdoms
and consume them, These things
caunot be the wonders spoken of
in Rev. 10 CHI, Now Bro, Per.
kins it does not say that the
horn should make the Image. "
But that the beast said that they
that dwell on the earth should
make the image Please
read;
*s"sayirg TO them that dwell on the
earth, that they should nuke an image

sword and did live" ''yRev. 1y-i4)

beast and King Henry the horn,
and then claim that the horn
sad to them that dwell on the
earth that they should make an
image to the first beast
When Tod said that it was the
second beast himself that said
this TO those that dwell on the
earth. Such reasoning as this
would be to say, that the one
norm OF the beast, said to the
beast, you must make an image
70 the first beast, because | have
ommanded you.
This puts us in mind Of tle
trunk Of the elephant again
picking up the elephant and
swinging the elephant around
just where ever the trunk Of
the elephant saw fit to swing
the rest of the body. This
Brother is not even good logic.
Bnt this is not all, we wish
to call the attention Of Bro. Per.
kins to the fact, that these won
ders are spoken Of, as transpir.
ing before the command is given
TO make the image The peo.
pie had to be deceived by those
miracles which the second beast
had power to do, in the sipht
OF the first beast Before the
command to make an image
would be of any force with the
people.
Now notice dear readers tina
she people were deceived bv
miracles which the beast had
power to do. We ask. was if d
miracle to kill a man or men
in King Henry's time? You all
know it was not. And you also
know, that to kill in the time OF
Christ's mission on earth was
no miracle. Neither was IL, a
miracle TO set up a 80 called
church just like or nearly SO, to
that which the Pope of Rome
had set up. And as we have
said, neither was it any wonder.
For Christ has sand that lie
did not come to send peace ON
earth, but sword And he said
he came to set a man at yarience
against his father. (See Matt.
l2-a4.)
Then we say that il was no
wonder for King Henry to come
against the Pope, as the Pope
had been his spiritual adviser,
as father. We then may look
for these things to come, for
he said they would come, he
even said to his Apostles that
even some Of them should be
killed, and said we should not
think it strange of those frey
trials, that should try us as
some strange, thing had happen.
ed No wonder in such things.
for Cain was murderer, he
belonged to the wicked one. So
did this second beast, then we
are not to wonder or think 10
strange about his murderous
acts.
The wonders were his mira.
Giles which he had power to do
in the sight of the first beast.
Because he exercises all the
power of the first beast. Now

A squire in a certain town had just
finished marrying a young couple and
proceeded in paternal way to give
them good, solid advice. Turning to
the bridegroom, he said:
"Never spend your money extrava-
gantly and be saving in every way
possible"
The bridegroom listened respectfully
and then remarked:
swell, judge, we might as well begin
on you" And he proceeded to give the
squire so cents for tying the knot

Living on a Few Cents a Day.

The problem of living on a few cents
a day is not so difficult of solution if
one cares to limit oneself to the actual
necessaries. For instance, we could
point to the workers in the turpentine
forests, who labor hard from sun to
sun on a bill of fare that costs not
more than 5 or 6 cents per meal. The
average ration Of turpentine "hand"
in the woods per week is five pounds
OF bacon or pork, one peck Of corn
meal, one quart Of molasses and a
pint Of salt. The value Of this ration
is about 81 to $1.1O.
The real problem, then, is not really
how cheaply may one live, but how
many Of the extras Of eating one is
willing to do without. - Savannah
