coincide with the prophecies of God's work in showing the near approach to the grand consummation of the world's history, the coming of our Lord to establish His kingdom and millennial reign with His saints over the earth. He reviews the history of the earth from its first formation, through the six geologic stages of progress the past ages and dispensations, and God's government in their political and religious history, the fulfillment of prophecy, and His plans and purposes, brought out therein in those six past ages. The coming seventh age is to be ushered in by great geologic and atmospheric changes, to be purified and renovated by fire, for the reception of the church, the bride, and her bridegroom, the Messiah, the Second Adam. It unfolds the meaning of Daniel's vision of the five monarchies, and the symbols and visions of St. John in the Apocalypse. Many passages are of thrilling interest. We commend the work as a valuable acquisition to any Bible student or thoughtful seeker of truth. Prof. C. Piazzi Smyth has sent us a little pamphlet entitled, "The Two Witnesses:--The Bible-The Great Pyramid." The author, Mr. R. Courtnay, of the Bombay Civil Service, takes up the chronological matters connected with sacred and secular history as shown in the Pyramid. He claims that the Scriptures and the Pyramid prove each other by the fulfillment of the prophecies of Daniel. We think that it will yet be clearly proved that the Pyramid contains an epitome of the history concerning our race. As we proceed in our investigations, our respect for the knowledge of the ancients in astronomy and all the sciences must increase. Events great and small are recorded in the Scriptures, as upon a parchment or scroll; in the Pyramid, the proofs of the truths of the Scriptures are written in the rocks. We have received from Com. S. M. Franklin, a pamphlet, "Letter from the Secretary of the Navy, Transmitting Communications Concerning the Proposed Change in the Time for Be ginning the Astronomical Day." It contains a large number of interesting letters in connection with the recommendation of the change of the prime meridian, made by the recent International Meridian Conference held at Washington. Our thanks are due Dr. W. F. Quinby for an ably written. pamphlet entitled, "Silver." And to Prof. F. Hess for a copy of the Fort Dodge Daily Chronicle, containing his very interesting paper, "The Eclipse, from an Historical and Astronomical Point of View." OUR REST AND SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
