INCREASE OF KNOWLEDGE.

ON the Friday evening after the revised New Testament was received in New York, 83,715 words of it were telegraphed to the Chicago papers. The next day, 23,000 more words were telegraphed. By this time the New Testament had arrived by mail, and the remaining 50,000 words were put in type, and the complete New Testament appeared in the Sunday papers. Five hundred years ago, months would have been required to produce a single copy. The angel told Daniel (Dan. 12:5) that in the "time of the end" knowledge should be increased, evidently referring to knowledge of the prophecies. We certainly can see a striking fulfillment of this prophecy in the wonderfully increased facilities for studying the word of God. "Whoso readeth let him understand."
