AN APOCALYPSE OF LIFE” It is a story as beautifti! as itis new Aud as charming »» it ie ■nMual, It is almost impossible, in a bort review, even briefly 1 to give a igeet of the thought of a book, as ull of original ideas aud thoughts, ,s ‘-An Apocalypse of life,” by Mr. ’hecey. Os all books we have read 3 is is the most original in its cone, in its combination of nought, in its scheme, arrange lent and plan. In talking to the author one av, w° asked him what was in bis iew, the cent’a and dominant lea of the work and he said, “To smonstrate to people that they -ere more than perishing bodies f matter. The world and aven the church j-e getting materialistic to the Lire., , To prove *o mau what he is, and ) elevate his plan of life and his opes, is the purpose of this book the accomplishment of this lurpose, I have tried to substitute Iroof for faith.” I Whether the author has succeed- II in this high purpose or not, fcch mind must judge for itself; lut of one thing we are certain, Iho reads this book will not be lie same man or woman after, as Before reading it. There is an ftmosphere about it as pure and ■arified as that “Celestial Ether’' ■ ■i which its scenes are laid. I The author has broutht down lid simplified to the level and Imiprebensicn „of any ordinary Bind, high and noble thoughts ■iat have heretofore been the prop ■ty of the few.

It is n celestial allegory that cannot be subjected to the “rule of three.” Yet when you read it, the corres pondence between the thought and the’t'erne impr-Bias the mind on every page.” In our view the bast part of the book is “The discourse of Christ” in “The Sphere of the Temple of Knowledge,” in whieh Christ gives interpretation to bis message and mission to earth and of his nature and personality amid the Univers al luteligences. Thought rises no than that bare.given, aud whether th<» auti.er’o positions be orthordox or not, this Discource is bound to claim the attention of th® reading and thinking public. The discourse of Benedictus to the evil minds amid the wierd surroundings of Plutous’S evil sphere, is strong and vigorous, and teeming with thouhts that cannot be gainsaid. W® pronounce it one of the great books of th® day. ‘‘Rash.’’ SUMMER VILLE GOES DRY The Dry Ticket For Councilmen BY OaERW HELMING MAJORITY.

And Has Resigned as a Missiona ry to the Church. Charlottesville, N. C., January 6. —Th® Statesville Landmark has received the information that Rev. Evand®r McGilvary, a Presbyte rian missionary to Siam, has re signed as a missionary. The rea son for this action ia that Mr. Mc- Gilvary holds the views of Rev. Dr. Charles F. Briggs, whoa® trial for heresy aud subsequent expul sion from the Presbyterian church by the general assembly ar® still fresh in the minds of all. Before MeGilvary went to the foreign fields, he imbibed the views of Dr Briggs . aud after the result of the latter’s trial, he concluded that he could not long®r consistently re main’in th® church, therefore ten deradhis resignation, which was promptly accepted. Mr. McGilvary is a son of Rev. D. McGilvary, D. D„ a native of North Carolina, who a: many years, has labored in the missionary field of Siam under the direction of th# Presbyterian church This action on th® part of hi® son is a source of greif to th® father, who hoped for hi® manti® after he passed away to fall upon th® son’s shoulders. The younger McGilvary is a very highly edu cated nsan. He graduated at Prince ton Theological seminary and ob taiued a scholorship. About thiir ty years ago, having completed hie education, he was married to young ladie in New Jersey aud ima mediately thereafter left for Siam.
