but though the last named is different to the former it is needed for the comprehension of either and all if an angel were to speak the word of god or a vision of heavenly things were opened to human

authority A man may be inspired of god to understand the most exalted principles and yet have no authority to act in the name of the lord paul saw christ in his glory the sight eight struck him blind and be he was healed of his blindness by divine power but he had no authority to preach or act in the name of christ till he was called and ordained for that purpose but no one in that hut authority hority can properly officiate without inspiration it is necessary for the proper preaching of the word and to sanctify all ordinances ceremonies and observances in the church of christ our limited space forbids further present enlargement on this subject the light of god is universally effused like that of the sun but men may close their eyes to the ho latter and und shut the windows af their

tho tha fourth district court of california on monday last las ti husselman the perjured juror was in at his sest seat with the rest of t th h a prel the court announced eliat th at on examination of the peculiar pecullar c ase case he had come to the conclusion that the jury JU ry might be discharged by the consent of the defendant judge Camp campbeli beir belk declined giving consent protested

the defendant again put on trial as the plea could not bot no t be ue made that she had bearr placed in legal jeopardy the tho court overruled the motion to dismiss the jury and discharge the tho prisoner J judge campbell excepted and announced that he should introduce no evidence nor any plea for the defence F as he considered conf the whole proceed ings after atter what had transpired concerning the juror husselman Hus velman Belman nothing but a mockery of justice the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree against mrs dr cynthia jj hodgdon whose malpractice in effecting an abortion caused the death of mrs emma downes judge campbell moved for a new trial and theotime the time was set for hearing arguments on the motion this is avery a very singular ea case and for this reason we have g given n so much space to its it history the crime crimel with which the prisoner was charged is common enough there is reason to believe that the offense offence of tha

exposure and punishment of the offender also alao the trial of a grisor by a jury one of wham was himself a prisoner under sentence from the same bame court sitting in judgment of the gau cau caubert cause beat at issue are all out of the general course of criminal j jurisprudence ur isuru and interesting by byj way of variety the motives which prompted judge campbell in the light of his proceedings on monday look looka a little more like ilke legal craft than the ilia genuine honor which seemed to distinguish them when he exposed the tho guilty juror he saw that the jury would be rendered incomplete by the cond cord committal of the offender offenders and justly incompetent to try the defendants defendant defend ants anti and that thus a loosli loophole ole oie would be open ed through which he might conduct his client to liberty we think that the bost best course would have been to discharge the jury holding the prisoner for trial for which the court could have found precedents in the reports of other states if not in the judicial annals annais of california the defendant now is justly entitled to a new now trial triai by a jury against which such a glaring fault cannot be found as that which damaged the first in this thia case through the infamy of the perjured husselman we will chronicle the issue AN MONOLITH AT last london has set up its egyptian monument
