David's throne for a thousand years with all the saints, according to God's oath to David, as referred to by Peter on Pentecost; says Peter, Acts, ch. 2: He (david) being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn by an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne, spake of the resurrection of Christ. These are the main points of difference between the two systems. The spiritualizing system was first introduced into the religious world about 1640, by Dr. Lightfoot, an English divine of that day, and that, up to that time, the whole evangelic world had held to the literal system as proved by Dr. Hales, of England, in his great work on Chronology.

I was born in the Green River Country, Hart County, Kentucky, May 30th, 1851. I was a slave until the Emancipation. My parents left me and went to the Good Land when 1 was yet a boy. My chances for an education have not been good. In that matter, however, I have done what I could. I have labored with my hands, taught school, and preached a risen, present Savior — not a bad lot after all. I am now an Elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the stationed pastor at Springfield, Ohio, and General Financial Agent of Wilberforce University. With this brief account of myself, I pass to notice the Institution in whose interest I have written, and whose permanent endowment I hope to secure.Wilberforce University is situated three and one-half miles North-East of Xenia, Greene County, Ohio; surrounded by beautiful farms, and from the West, looked down upon by a group of heavily wooded hills. It is one of the most desirable College sites in Ohio. The locality is eminently healthy.
