A WRITER in the Spiritual Telegraph feels "impressed to say," that "Biela's comet," which is expected in 1856, after a lapse of three hundred years, is composed of "spiritual essences," and occupied by "spiritual inhabitants." He says of it:
"This approaching comet has already shed some spiritual rays upon our earth, which have prepared, and are still preparing, the inhabitants of earth for the reception of the concentrated rays of this superior celestial body. This will be the seventh time of its appearance since the Christian era began. It will be the second coming of Christ, for then the seed of universal brotherhood will be sown, or the kingdom of heaven will become established on earth. Until then the soil will be well prepared for its reception, when it will gradually grow and finally bear its fruits—humanity's redemption. Its last appearance in 1556 was crowned by the Reformation, and we are still living in the prophetic Congregation of Philadelphia. In fact, the seventh era will begin with the year 1872, when the influence of this comet will be104thoroughly felt, for in reality three hundred and twelve earthly years constitute an era."
We note these ebullitions of fancy, as evidence that fallen man will more readily believe anything, however absurd, than the word of the Lord.—Ad. Herald.
