RICHMOND, SEPTEMBER, 1851

“THE AGE TO COME, or GLORIOUS RESTITUTION.”

By J. Marsh, of Rochester, N. Y.

This is a little book on a great subject. It exhibits satisfactorily the unscriptural and irrational character of the Millerite, Sectarian, and Papal hypotheses in relation to the topic of which it treats; and adduces much of the Law and the Testimony to sustain its own position. A fourth edition is preparing; and, without committing ourselves to the correctness of all its interpretations, and applications of scripture, we commend it to the notice of our readers, as calculated to promote inquiry, and fix attention upon parts of scripture which might not otherwise pass under review. The price is twelve and a half cents a single copy, or nine York shillings per dozen. Postage prepaid by the purchaser of course.

MULTUM IN PARVO.

The grand focal truth of the Old and New Testament scriptures is—Incorruptibility of Body and Life to those, and to those only, who may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom to be restored again to the Twelve Tribes of Israel by Jesus, as their future accepted King, reigning over them and all nations on David’s throne in Jerusalem for 1000 years.

HOW TO TREAT A PAPAL BULL. —Eric, King of Denmark, was married to Philippa, daughter to Henry IV. of England. This monarch had peculiar ideas of his own with regard to the supremacy of the Roman Pontiff: —“On one occasion, a papal letter was delivered him by a messenger sent expressly from Rome, the contents of which greatly displeased him, and he vented his wrath by flinging the parchment, with its heavy seals appended, in the face of the messenger, and that with such force as to draw blood. Nor thus content, Eric ordered the obnoxious document to be delivered to its unfortunate bearer, and commanded him to eat it up immediately, seal and all, in his presence. But as no threats could avail to induce him to swallow so unsavoury a morsel, he was thrown into prison, and made to endure the whole weight of the royal displeasure.” —Lives of the Princesses of England.
