Stevenson and Thurman.

By Editor

THE DISCUSSION ON CHRONOLOGY.

THE discussion between the two brethren named above, came off during the past week. We were not able to attend all the sessions, but were deeply interested with what we did attend. While we are not a convert to the peculiar theories of either the disputants, we feel deeply interested in the great question in debate: "Is the Canon of Ptolemy correct?" We are interested in it because the whole historical and chronological question is uprooted and unsettled if it is proved incorrect, and history and chronology is entirely afloat.

We are now entirely at rest on that question. Mr. Stevenson, by the most indubitable arguments and proofs, has done what he pledged himself to do, proved that Canon true. He has done a mighty work for the Christian world, and showed himself a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, in the department of chronology. The report is not to be published.—Advent Herald.
