LADEN WITH INIQUITY.

The papers are fairly glutted with records of crime—far more than we care to publish. We should think the Devil was abroad in the land “having great wrath.”—Ch. Secretary.
Such is the statement of a religious journal, respecting a land of open Bibles and of a free gospel. Crimes which would have disgraced Paganism, are perpetrated under the garb of Christianity; yet men boast of progress, and affirm that we are on the eve of the millennium, if indeed it has not already commenced! When will men open their eyes to the truth that the work of this dispensation is an elective one; that “God did visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name;” and that till Jesus—the Lord of the millennium—comes, there will be the co-existence of Christianity and Antichristianity? Till then the church will be like the “lily among thorns;” and because “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived,” the times will be “perilous” for the church and the world. Read 2 Tim., third chapter, and iv, 1–3.—Advent Herald.
