Adventists and the Eclipse.

The correspondent of the Inter Ocean who wrote up the observations of the great eclipse of July 29, takes occasion to ridicule the Adventists, as the following paragraph from its issue of July 30 will show:—
“THE SECOND ADVENTISTS, anticipating the coming of the millennium, have probably by this time removed from the public square in Boulder, Col., the large tent from which they expected to be translated.”
We should be happy to inform this reporter, if he could be found, that Adventists know the difference between an eclipse and the day of doom; and that the tent in Boulder had nothing to do with the eclipse, and will not be taken down because that event has passed.
