Letter from Jerusalem.Jkki'salem. Jan. 24. 18S4. iDctir Brother:ci1)The PiESTI'JTTJOX is received anddewe all find it very interesting indeed. I think your views which are so ably advocated, and read here with so much interest, are doing much good. The people are getting their eyes open, especially upon the question of eternal torment. This is the time to proclaim these blessed truths which have beenaliIpurposely hid during the past darkage. “Old tilings are passing away.all tilings are becoming new.siV:hiiVhThe most important event which j w has transpired of late is the arrival of! h Mai. Gen. Gordon, from England. This i av o ieritleiiian wal Governor of the Soudan for twelve year?. It seems that hihas come here to live for a voar. but*» *what his real object is no one can eon-jjectare. lie avoids consuls and clergymen, but visits the poor. lie is very religious and has a theory of his i t own, peculiar to himself, it is said.
