AN IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE.

The reader will find in our first article a solution of certain matters hitherto unexplained by writers on the destiny and punishment of the wicked. We will only add here this principle to which his attention is particularly invited, namely, —that the rewards of the righteous and the punishment of the wicked are to be manifested in distinct countries of the earth, at two great crises of the world’s history, through events which are determined in relation to the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This principle understood as revealed in the Law and the Testimony will emancipate the inquirer from the “foolishness” of all the popular superstitions, which at present make up “the wisdom of the world:”—it is an axe laid to the root of the trees which hews them down and converts them into fuel to be burned.
