GOOD POINTS WELL PUT.

By S. B. Whitney

Now and then we receive acknowledgments in favor of unpopular positions from eminent sources. How far their authors will admit the practical application of their own views may not be so clear, but the following from the religious column of the Albany (N. Y.) Journal is to the point:—

"The moral code given at Sinai has never been revoked or modified, but still stands with all its ancient authority. God's voice spoke to the Hebrews for all the ages and for all people, and the words uttered have gathered force as they have passed through the hands of the prophets, of Christ, and of his apostles. So also the grand gift of the second Pentecost was not for a temporary purpose or for the apostolic age, but as the inheritance of the church forever, an abiding ministry to the people of God through all time, designed to be more abundantly poured out and more widely diffused in the time of the latter-day glory than in the days of its first effusion."

Comment unnecessary. S. B. WHITNEY.
