[1879] First it was the Mormons, then it was the Millerites, and now this guy from Pennsylvania claiming that he is restoring historic Christianity? Heresies these days

I swear, those new "religious men" must be on ether. This man, who told me he was called Charles, he claimed that he was restoring historic Christianity. He claimed that you can understand the Second Coming via chronology of the Bible, that people who go to heaven will be resurrected with spiritual bodies, that the true name of God was Jehovah (though he was using it sparingly), AND that Christ returned invisibly the past year and was to make a physical Second Coming soon. Sects these days...

[1669] Master Wren, I have a letter here saying that you ask to rent a pineapple for your design study on St. Paul's. That's... an unusul request and would cost quite a lot. Can you elaborate your intentions?
