... of the hour | We are in the last few days of 1877, a year that has not been a signal | ||
success in whichever direction it is contemplated. The year was ushered in | |||
with a fearful storm of wind and rain, and, later on, that elemental | |||
disturbance was followed by political convulsions that at last culminated in | |||
the Russo-Turkish conflict. No less than three dreadful colliery explosions | |||
have left their sinister records, while disasters on our coast lines have not | |||
been less frequent than usual. Criminally, we have had a harvest—for the | |||
lawyers—that leaves them no reason to complain. Religiously, not much of note | |||
has transpired. That little that has, concerned points of doctrine and usage | |||
that sensible folks, as a rule, consider too contemptible to wrangle over. | |||
The Wesleyan Conference distinguished itself by affirming a belief in the | |||
doctrines of eternal torment and a literal hell, as being vital to salvation; | |||
and one of the ministers of the above body wrote a letter to a Christian (?) | |||
paper, wherein he remarked, "He had always preached the doctrine of a literal | |||
hell, ''and by the grace of God he intended to continue so to do!''" The | |||
italics are mine. Comment is superfluous. | |||
It is rumored that Madame Blavatsky intends visiting London during the coming | |||
year. If it is at all possible, I trust to be able to shake her by the hand, | |||
and renew a pleasant acquaintance made in Bro. Davis's bookstore in New York, | |||
and continued in Philadelphia. The Madame is in sober truth a woman among | |||
women. She will be the lion of the hour on her arrival.{{Style S-HPB SB. HPB note|.......}} | |||
