The whole universe being merely machinery for continually multiplying God. Otherwise therj would evidently be no sense vvhatever in the Scriptura! statement "That the spirit beareth witne-s with our spirit that we are children of God; and if children^ then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with CJhriist."— Rom. viii, 16, J 7. The successive stages of tliis wonderful transformation of man into God, being plainly indicaied, and proved to be perfectly in accordance with the well known facts of science, as well as with the words of the Bible. Railroads plainly foretold in the Bible as the one grand physical preparation requisite to make possible the universal righteous govern- ' ment, or the Millenium predicted.,— Isaiah xl, 4, 5. The predicted railroads (and the telegraphs accompanying them) having already^ become sufficiently abundant to "gather all nations" into one "great congregation." THK BLESSINGS of -'the King- dom of God," which all Christendom has been continually praying lor during the past eighteen ceiituries, (" Thy Kingdom come") must certainly now come upon us suddenly and unexpectedly, as did the calamities " in the days of Noah and Lot." As this New Era of " mercy and truth, . . . righteousness and peace," must now begin immediately, there appears to be no good reason whatever why not NEXT THURSDAY EVENING 20th DECEMBER, in the GRAND OPERA HOUSE. To witness the very beginning of such an Era, may possibly be attended with advantages whioh one might hereafter be sorry to have missed. TICKETS 50 and 25 CENTS To be had at Messrs.
