EARL DERBY'S OPPORTUNITY. 
 
 The following are the last four of six 
 ♦'open letters" to the Earl of Derby (the 
 
 o^ .7^- h'^J? ^^f"^ already published 
 and reprinted). These six letters have 
 been written m the hope that the Earl of 
 Derby would not fail to take advantage of 
 his present very evident opportunity to 
 take such action now as would inevit- 
 ably lead, m due course, to the introduc- 
 tion of a universal righteous govern- 
 ment, which would soon prove itself to 
 be none other than the Wg-predicted 
 ' Kingdom of God " upon larth, des- 
 tined to abohsh warfare. 
 
 ^o^^^^'^lu^^^l^^'^^^* *o *he intelligent 
 reader that I have already said enough 
 to convince the Earl of Derby-if any- 
 thing that could possibly be said would 
 convince him— for, of course, to con- 
 vince him or anyone eJse effectively, 
 against his will, in any such matter 
 would be almost, if not quite, impos- 
 sible. However, I have already (fcne 
 my part faithfully. If the Earl of Derby 
 18 now disposed to act wisely, courage- 
 wisly and magnaminously, as the occa- 
 sion requires, he certainly secures the 
 greatest possible advantages for himself 
 in this life, and in the eternal life also, 
 while he at the same time does his part 
 to afford many others the opportunity 
 also to fairly gain similar advantages for 
 heSte7^ and others, both here and

 EARL DERBY'S OPPORTUNITY. 
 VI. 
 
 About thirty years ago I crossed the 
 Atlantic with Cyrus Field, who had 
 good reason to be convinced that it was 
 quite a possible thing to have telegraphic 
 communication between Europe and 
 America ; nevertheless it then appeared 
 to be utterly impossible to convince any 
 of the wealthy men in America that this 
 might easily be accomplished, if the" 
 would only invest a comparatively smaU 
 portion of their wealth in order to secure 
 so very great an advantage ; conse- 
 quently it became necessary for Cyrus

 for Cyrus 
 
 Field to appeal to the wealthy men of 
 Great Britian, who nobly responded to 
 that appeal, by generously taking a 
 sufficient number of thousand pound 
 shares ; not that they were very sanguine 
 as to any immediate success, but because 
 they considered that they could well 
 afford to hazard the loss of a few thous- 
 ands of their abundant wealth in the 
 praise- worthy effort to establish instanta- 
 neous communication between the fore- 
 most nations of the earth, whether any 
 such effort should be immediately success- 
 ful or not. 
 
 It is evidently about as difficult now 
 to convince people of the practicability 
 of abohshing war, by any means what- 
 ever ; as it was to convince them then of 
 the practicability of telegraphic com- 
 munication across the ocean ; but if a 
 few wealthy men would now firmly re- 
 solve to emulate the worthy example of 
 those few among the British about 
 thirty years ago, ultimate success would 
 most certainly soon crown our efforts 
 now also, and in a much more marvel- 
 lous manner. Sandford Fleming (whose 
 reputation already extends beyond Can- 
 ada,) and Judge Fournier of the Dominion 
 Supreme Court, have both told me that 
 they would devote the tenth of their 
 wealth, or income, as required; if the 
 Earl of Derby would only take the lead 
 m so grand an enterprize; and thous- 
 ands would doubtless soon do likewise • 
 why then should the Earl of Derby 
 hesitate, or delay, to afford 
 so very reasonable and moderate 
 an evidence of his gratitude to the 
 Almighty, Ji^or the very considerable 
 advantages that he already possesses be- 
 
 ^u^ ,ix?^®x.®^.*^*'^®^ people generally ? 
 Should the Earl of Derby now pubUcly 
 or m writing, declare his willingness to 
 do this, providing a few other men of 
 good position, reputation and wealth, 
 agree to form an organized Association, 
 that they may do the same as effectively 
 as possible for the purpose required A 
 good be^ginning ma- thus be made at 
 once, which would doubtless soon spread 
 very rapidly on both sides of the 
 Atlantic. But if no beginning is made,

p. S.— I understand that the Earl of 
 Derby intends to leave Ottawa to-mor- 
 row to Hpend two or three weeks salmon- 
 fishnig Why should'nt he take this 
 printed paper with him, that he may 
 fairly consider the question at his 
 leisure? Should he decide favourably 
 and persistently adhere to such decision, 
 t"en his best possible welfare in this 
 world and hereafter also is assured. 
 Should the Earl of Derby very naturally 
 ask : How I can possibly be in a position 
 *o speak confidently and authoritatively 
 upon such a subject? he needs but to 
 consult theSnd and ard chapters of " the 
 Revelation " to see that extremely great 
 advantages are seven times promised 
 to him that overcometh ;" and towards 
 the conclusion of the "Revelation" 
 Jesus Christ expressly declares that "he 
 that overcometh shall inherit all things 
 and I will be his God, and he shall%e 
 my son "-Rev. xxi . , 7. Which words 
 certainly indicate that someone was 
 destined to "overcome" in a very re- 
 markable manner, so as actually to be 
 recognized thenceforth in some special 
 manner, as the "son " and heir of Jesus 
 Christ. I have abundant reason to know 
 that I myself am the man thus destined 
 to "overcome," as here stated, and that 
 i also already possess understanding and 
 comprehension "like" that of Jesus 
 Christ-" like" in kind,, though not in 
 degree, of course ; but, nevertheless, in 
 matters pertaining to the eternal life, 
 immeasurably beyond that of any other 
 man upon earth at present.

 lation, so far as the opening of the 
 beven Seals, and the sounding of the 
 Seven Trumpets" are concerned. I 
 enclose also the more recently printed 
 paper, headed, '< Thy Light is Come, " 
 which proves very clearly iiuleed that 
 just such a man as myself was destined 
 to appear about this time ; one who 
 should be treated by the men of this gen- 
 eration precisel V as I have been; " We hid 
 as It were our faces from him, He was 
 uespised, and we esteemed liim not "yet 
 nevertheless such an one is destined 
 ultimately to complete the grand work 
 ot Jesus Christ, by establishing "the 
 Kingdom of God" upon earth, that war- 
 fare may be abolished, and that the 
 human family generally may become 
 prepared for the enjoyment of heaven 
 upon earth, (or the highest degree of 
 perfection of which human beings are 
 capable,) about "a thousand years" 
 
 These short papers are certainly about 
 r.^l.-Kf'^^*^ satisfactoij credentials 
 possible ; for any intelligent man avho 
 
 READS THElf ATTENTIVELY FROM BEGIN- 
 
 NUio TO END, can scarcely fail to perceive 
 that my statements are indisputablv 
 correct and true, while, if the cUrgy, (or 
 any others generally supposed to possess 
 whatever knowledge there is upon such 
 subjects,) are consulted and questioned • 
 It soon becomes evident enough that 
 their utter "darkness" is about as con- 
 spicuous as is my perfect "light" upon 
 all such matters ; consequently it is 
 1 that should command the confidence 
 and respect of all those in favour of 
 truth and " light" ; whatever those who 
 are so evidently in utter '• darkness " may 
 be disposed to say or think to the con- 
 trary. 
 
 Should the Earl of Derb- be induced 
 (for his own sake, if fornc. . lier reason), 
 to do me this justice, he would probably 
 perceive that the least that could reason- 
 ably be expected of him is, that he 
 should at once decide to take the first 
 opportunity to discuss the subject with 
 my old friend W. HolmanHuut, or with 
 the Duke of Argyle, or any other men of 
 ability and high character with whom 
 iie may easily meet in England ; with a
