Free thinking I Why, who doe» not know that it is iufidelily, out and 041 ? ! Just as if it were not the appropriate work of a thinking being to think, and of a rational being to reason. As if mind could be fed with anything else but truth; and as if there were any other way to obtain truth but by the employment of mind. As if clogs and fetters and dungeons were not as unnatural and detrimental to miod as to body.Nothing is plainer to my own mind than that Millerism comes from modern theology. Careful examination would show Mot-monism to be an off-shoot from the same source. The priesthood and church may spurn their offspring, disown them, and treat them with what contempt they please. It will not be the first titne that parents have thus treated their children—nor will it be the first time these parents have thus treated theirs. Millerism is now a nursling in the arms of the priesthood and lap of the church. They have already branded it with lunacy and idiocy to be sure. But that is nothing. They may ostracize it. Still it will be their own child. Say what they will, and do what they will- it will yet be seen that the child is every way worthy ol its parentage.At some future time, life and health being spared, I shall undertake to show (hat such an event as is called ‘* second advent,” “ the end of all things,” “ the final consummation of all thsngs,” dec., dec., is not to be looked for—is never to be expected—is only a figment of addled brains.
