ANOTHER APPLICATION

By Editor

The latest application of prophetic fulfillment, in connection with the Atlantic telegraph, which we have noticed, is the following: The Atlantic cable connecting Europe and America, thereby transmitting intelligence from one to the other, as though there was no ocean rolling between them, accords with the Apocalyptic prophecy, "There was no more sea!" What may we not expect when grave men set the example in such loose applications of the prophetic word? If this much is to be allowed, we might as well go a little further; for time and space are annihilated by the telegraph as well as the sea; and we may then claim that we have almost reached the popular theological heaven, beyond the bounds of time and space!
