To CORRESPONDENTS.—Please notice the following rules. If you will notice them, you will save our Secretary much perplexity and time.
1. State all your business items distinctly, and put them all on a sheet by themselves, or on the last leaf of your letter, so that it may be torn off when the letter is opened.
2. Always, in writing to this Office, give your Post Office, State, and County. If your Post Office be one name and your town another, give both, stating which is which.
3. If you wish your paper changed to another Post Office, first state the name of the person, the Post Office, County, and State where it is sent, then the person, Post Office, County, and State where you wish it sent.
Pointed Paragraphs.
When I commenced my duties as professor of theology, I feared that the frequency with which I should have to pass over the same portions of Scripture would abate the interest in my own mind in reading them; but after more than fifty years of study, it is my experience that with every class my interest increases.
The Twenty-Inch Rodman Gun
A TWENTY-INCH Rodman gun, the largest ever made, was successfully cast at the Fort Pitt works, at Pittsburgh, on Thursday last. The weight of this monster gun, when finished, will be 115,000 pounds. Its outside length is a little over 21 feet, and its length of bore 17 feet and a half. The successful casting of such a gun, is one of the remarkable facts of the day.
God as the Christian’s Portion
A Christian can lose nothing of importance, unless he can lose his God; but God is his everlasting portion, therefore his complaints are childish.

To Our Friends.
By Editor
THOSE who have assisted in disposing of the Charts and other publications have our sincere thanks. The plan suggested is working well, and with improved health, we are cherishing the hope of soon being able to "owe no man anything."
We will send charts with books by Express, charges paid, if the distance does not exceed 1000 miles, when $20 worth are taken at retail prices. Or $10 worth if the distance is not over 500 miles.
Key to the Prophetic Chart
By Editor
KEY to the Prophetic Chart, written by Bro. Smith, is now ready. We have printed 3000 copies, and rank it among our very best publications for general circulation. Nothing can be better for our preachers to offer to the people, especially when they are lecturing on the prophecies and refer to the Chart. Price post paid, 10 cents. Sent free to those who purchase the Charts. We shall send by first mail to all who have the Charts, as far as our knowledge extends. Those who have the Charts, and do not receive the key will please give notice.
Law and Prophetic Charts for Sale
We have many more Law than Prophetic Charts, on paper backed with cloth and varnished, and will sell one or both. The cloth are equal, and must be sold in sets.
The Two-Horned Beast and America
In another column will be found some important statistics relative to the growth and prosperity of this country in every element that goes to make a great and powerful nation. Here, if anywhere on earth, Christianity flourishes, and the people of God are found. Is it reasonable, then, to suppose that this nation is left out of prophecy? If not, where shall we find a prophecy setting forth its rise, character, progress, acts and end, if not in the two-horned beast of Rev. xiii?
