He thought that when the Apostle spoke of bodies being sown be meant their birth and not their burial. The idea is conveyed generally that there ia to be @ resurrection of the material bedy; but this is a mistake. ‘hoe resurrection of the spiritual body 1s the true idea, as announced by Cliristto Martha. In this world man has two perfect bodies, the material and the spir+ nual. The death of the former ia final, ‘The latter never dies, We have thus two deaths and two resurrections, and it 18 by confounding them that so much trouble arises in the old Cured, 1h is setf-evident that there is no way of getting into this world without » material body, and there is no Way of getting into the spiritual world without a spiritual body, for the Lord makes man as man makes @ maciine—with and fora purpose. In other words, the new Church taught that the spirit was the reat man, while the old Church teaches thatthe boay is the real man.

They have sougut thelr natural level In the calm which has overspread the commer- cia! sLorm and tempest raging throughout the Union since 1861.

It became platuly evident but a short time since that the BXODES OF CITIZENS from New York to the suburbs was increasing, and that, from the unpropitious character of business, few new residents were filling up the vold. Tis on- pleasant prospect for landlords has loft many houses vacant, and has determined the depression of rents. ‘With stores as with houses, and it may bere be noted that a vacated store is gencrally duplicated by the same tenant in vacating his house, for 8 man hardly desires an expeasive establishinent in New York With no income to support it when he can live for a song in the guuniry, oe ~ ee LESSHES, as in view of these and many other iitvortant cousido- rations, made up thelr minds to hold bsok, and this combined stroke of wisdom has had more effect in causlog house owners to meet the market than any other movement.
