LAST-DAY SCOFFERS.

By W. C. G.

The apostle Peter declares that in the last days scoffers shall come, walking after their own lusts, &c. When we see this class being developed, scoffing just as the apostle said they should, we are compelled to believe that we have reached the last days. The following from one of our popular dailies, betrays a spirit of antagonism to the doctrine of Christ’s coming which is peculiar to those who are “walking after their own lusts.” W. C. G.

A DESIRABLE POSTPONEMENT.—

We are by no means sorry to learn that Rev. Dr. Cumming and the other incendiary individuals who have taken up in these latter days the doctrines of the famous Mr. Miller, have discovered a trifling error in their calculations which puts off the destruction of our earth for a matter of a million years or so. We are rather glad of this, for although astronomers tell us that our globe is small, infinitesimal even in comparison with some others of their celestial acquaintance, it is quite big enough to secure our interest and enlist all our sympathies. By delaying the consummation of all things for a million of years he at once relieves us of all personal anxiety.
