Answers to Correspondents

The Association has just issued a new edition of 5000 copies of the tract, “Sixteen Short Answers to Sixteen Common Objections against the Second Advent Faith.” See notice of this work in another column. W. RAILEY. We were not aware that the present pope had been obliged to flee from Rome and been re-instated by Louis Napoleon. We know of no transaction of this nature except that which took place under Napoleon I, in fulfillment of the several prophecies touching that event. E. VAN DEUSEN. We know of nothing to favor the idea that the hour of Rev. xiv, 7, is thirty years. An hour in prophetic or symbolic time, is fifteen days; but that is as far as we can carry it. We cannot then take those days and call them also prophetic, making them mean fifteen years. This would be making them a compound symbol, of which we have no example, and for which we have no warrant. We cannot conceive the least shadow of foundation for the position that an hour means thirty years.
