The Prophetic Periods.
W. S. HERRINGTON: All the prophetic periods except the 2300 days lie entirely within the Christian dispensation. This is the reason the same principles of reckoning do not apply to them that are used in calculating the 2300 days. For instance, we say it takes 457 full years before Christ, and 1843 full years after Christ to make the 2300. But a part of the year 457 B. C. had elapsed before the 2300 days commenced. We therefore have only 456 years and a fraction, before Christ. This being the case, we must take 1843 years and a fraction after Christ, to make the full period of 2300. But a fraction of a year beyond 1843, carries us, of course, so far into 1844.
With periods that lie wholly this side of Christ, the case is different. Take the 1260 years which commenced in 538, and ended in 1798. We do not say it takes all of 538, and all of 1798 to make 1260; but, finding the point in 538 where they commenced, we simply add 1260 years, and are carried to a corresponding point in the year 1798.
So of the hour, day, month, and year, of Rev. 9: 15. The literal time denoted by this symbolic period is 391 years and 15 days. The 150 years of the preceding trumpet ended July 27, 1449. From this date, then, we have simply to reckon forward 391 years and 15 days, to find the ending of this latter period. Adding these years and days to July 27, 1449, we are brought to Aug. 11, 1840, when the Ottoman supremacy, according to the prophecy, ceased. U. S.
To Correspondents.
D. WARREN: The words rendered evening and morning in Dan. 8:26, are the same as are rendered days, in verse 14, and doubtless refer to the same period.
MRS. J. LOVEJOY: We do not understand that there was any compromise in the infliction of the penalty pronounced upon Adam’s transgression. When Adam sinned, he immediately entered upon his solemn march to the grave; and he reached the grave within the period covered by the word day in penalty. See this subject fully discussed in “The State of the Dead,” published at this Office, pp. 181–193. U. S.

“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
What War Has Done.
Dr. Dick puts the number of men in all ages killed by war at fourteen thousand millions; while Edmund Burke estimates it at thirty-five thousand millions. Four or five millions are constantly under arms, producing nothing. What fine emigrants they would make! The annual war charge for the world is $2,600,000,000, while only $5,000,000 is paid for Christian missions. This puts an awful burden on labor, forcing it to pay $500,000,000 per day before its own wants are begun to be provided for. The aggregate war debt of the world is $23,000,000,000. 83 per cent of the income of Great Britain goes for war-like purposes, leaving only 17 per cent for other objects. The total value of the United States is estimated at $30,000,000,000. The war debt of the world would completely buy it up.
Progress Toward Rome.
Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, charges in a recent editorial note:—
Prayers for the departed are gaining recognition in the Protestant Episcopal Churches of this city. The Church of St. Mary the Virgin advertised, not long since, a special service of prayer for the holy dead. At the door of the Church of the Transfiguration, in Twenty-ninth street, were found, a few Sundays since, circulars, one of which is now before us, containing collects to be said for the departed. . . . This is only another of the signs of the times, showing the drift, in the old Protestant Episcopal Church.
Progress of the Roman Catholic Departure from Primitive Christianity.
The Chronologische Anzeiger of Reyner gives the following aperçu of the “development” of practices in the Church of Rome: “The use of Holy Water was introduced in the year 120; Penance, in 157; Monks appeared in 348; the Latin Mass, in 391; Extreme Unction, in 550; Purgatory, in 593; the Invocation of Mary and the Saints, in 715; Kissing the feet of the Pope, in 809; the Canonization of Saints and the Beatification of the Blessed, in 893; Blessing Bells, in 1000; the Celibacy of Priests, in 1015; Indulgences, in 1119; Dispensations, in 1200; the Elevation of the Host, in 1200; the Inquisition, in 1204; Oral Confession, in 1215; the Immaculate Conception, in 1860; Infallibility, in 1870.”
BE STRONG.
Take thy staff, O pilgrim,
Haste thee on thy way;
Let the morrow find thee
Farther than to-day.
If thou seek the city
Of the Golden Street,
Pause not on thy pathway—
Rest not, weary feet.
In the heavenly journey
Press with zeal along;
Resting will but weary,
Running make thee strong.
—Sel.
FALSE CHRISTS.
A remarkable Jew, claiming to be the Messiah, has recently appeared in Arabia, where his fame was spread far and wide. He came forth from the desert, where he has spent many years mortifying the flesh, and he pretends to work wonders and perform miracles, and give evidences of his divine mission. He has a melodious voice, remarkably brilliant eyes, and a fascinating appearance, and is winning followers. —Religious Intelligencer.
INCREDIBLE CARELESSNESS.
The Post Office authorities announce that nearly 3,000,000 letters went to the Dead Letter Office last year, of which 58,000 had no county or State direction; over 400,000 were not properly stamped, and 3,000 were not stamped at all. In these letters were found $92,000 in cash, and over $3,000,000 in drafts or checks, or an average of a dollar in every misdirected letter.
Smoking and Scholastic Performance
SCIENCE and statistics have attacked the smoking fraternity, and smokers will not very much relish the verdicts. For instance, a comparison recently made between smokers and non-smokers in the Polytechnic school of Paris shows that the smokers not only rank below the non-smokers in every grade, but that they lose grade constantly. This would mean to anti-tobacco preachers, of course, that the smokers had less brains to start with, or they would not have adopted the habit in the first place, and that the weed tended to destroy what little sense they had. At any rate, although brains and cigars do seem to live and flourish in harmony on this side of the water, the French Minister of Public Instruction has forbidden pupils to smoke or chew the dangerous weed. If we add to this testimony the words of some of the most celebrated physicians, that many of the nervous diseases of this generation can be traced to the free use of tobacco, we cannot avoid the conclusion, that the “coming man” will drop that with other “social” and unnecessary habits.— Sel.
Ripe Fruit.
THE use of ripe fruit in bowel difficulties is quite important. When the bowels do not act freely, it is often sufficient to give, not a dose of rhubarb, which the boy hates, but a saucer of ripe berries or a ripe apple before breakfast, which he does like.
Some child being asked “what was wrong,” answered, “Everything I want to do.” And it does sometimes seem as if parents were occupied much more in denying than in gratifying their children’s appetites. This is neither necessary nor fair. They get as tired of bread and milk as you would. And what comes of it? Simply, that, as soon as they have an opportunity, they indulge their love for fruits and sweets to excess. Then you think that it is the fruit and the sweets that do the harm, whereas, it is only the excess. Let your children eat what you do, and as much as they want, and, as you mean to eat only healthy food, they will be quite safe.
Saginaw Salt and Lake Superior Iron Shipments
There were 450,000 barrels of salt, worth on the average $1.40 per barrel, shipped from the Saginaw Valley in 1873.
There were 1,073,979 tons of iron ore shipped from Lake Superior region in 1873, being 117,748 tons more than in 1872.
