MR GEORGE A. BROWN.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib,—Mr Brown does not claim the prefix Rev., he does not believe in mortal man assuming that which belongs alone t: De'.jj, a~ rl would b&. please- if no one would apply that title to him. Mr Horn, as usual, blunders when he writes for the papers. It would be better for him and others also if they understood what they write about before appearing in the public journals. Mr Brown does not base immortality upon resurrection, but upon Christ Jesus, while those who honestly and sincerely believe in Him and what His two grand names imply, get immortality at resurrection, when that Divine man returns to earth in all the, power and glory of the Deity, His Father. And observe, I would again urge it upon Mr Horn and all your readers, that return and second public advent is very nigh indeed—are Mr Horn and your readers prepared to meet Christ Jesus-? But again Mr H. blunders. It is not our present lumps-of mortality and corruption that are raised from the dead. If Mr H. believed the Scriptures,. which are the inspiration of the Deity, he would know that. The Deity affirms in those. Scriptures ''Behold, I create all thing* new." The people of the resurrection, now so near, have new, incorruptible spirit bodies, which can never more see death. The disobedience of Eve brought pollution and death to the great mass of Adam's race. The obedience of Jesus brings life and immortality in new bodies to, all his.sincere and honest believers. The rubbish, therefore, which Mr H. has penned goes for nothing, and, as regards Swedenborge and the Spiritualists/they simply believe the Devil's lie — ! "Thou shalt not surely die/ instead of God's truth—" In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Swedenborgism and Demon-Spiritism are the last developments of that' Satanic lie which at first deceived Eve,,and ha* ever since deceived the great masi^'of mankind —only excepting those who, believe in the Deity and His divine Son, Chriat Jeans. If Mr Home really desire! to know, the truth, he will, .have to relinquish the company o^^Spirltists and Swedenborgians.andsearch the Scriptures, for in what they reveaMand they only—can he have the life of the:coming Kingdom of God. If he will not do this, then there ia nothing fcrhim but destruction, or a, cutting off from that glorious Kingdom. All who wish to know what Mr. Brown really believes should call on Mr If odder, and subscribe for " Bible Standard." ' It will not cost much for a whole year's monthly numbers.—l am, &0.,. i, - . William Wood.
