GIVE US THIS PEACE. 
"The peace of God, which passeth all understanding." 
These words fell softly on my ears, and so I prayed, 
"Give us this peace, Oh God—and in each breast 
All stormy thoughts and feelings shall be stayed, 
And we shall find in thee our perfect rest. 
We're weary of the care, and toil and strife; 
These dark attendants of our onward way 
Still cast their dreary mists o'er all our life ; 
Look down, 0 Lord ! and send them all away." 
And then a voice, soft, solemn, low and sweet, 
Seemed to my fancy whispering in my ear : 
"Be not cast down, nor troubled, 'tis but meet 
That thou shouldst bear thy cross—then wherefore 
fear 
The trials in thy path ?" Our Saviour looketh 
down, 
And those who work with patience win at last a 
crown.

Sunday in London.. 
The view of the London Sabbath given by a 
correspondent of the Christian Intelligences is a 
dark one. 
London, the great monster city of Christendom 
is at once the centre of magnificent charities and 
stupendous evils. It is the heart of European 
benevolence, and from it goes forth in noble cur- 
rents into all parts of the world the life-giving 
power of the gospel. 
Riding through London on a few favorable, 
sunny days ; surveying its vast, smoky, dingy, 
and forbidding proportions ; pressing through its 
thoroughfares ; calling to mind its numerous char-
itable institutions, philanthropic societies and 
benevolent organizations ; and running over its 
well-filled columns of contributions, we have been 
astonished at so much Christian life. And yet, 
what is it in London—London so full of heaps 
of poverty, misery, and abject wretchedness—
London so noted for impositions, human sharks, 
Impostures, and cool, calculating, selfish worldli- 
ness? Ripples on the bosom of a corrupting seeth-
ing pond. 
The Sabbath dawns. The church-bells ring 
out deafeningly on all sides the hour of worship. 
Pew hearts, comparitively, hail the joyous sound. 
lew, indeed, feel and acknowledge a beautiful 
custom in the Black Forest. There, whenever 
a bell rings, the peasants pause in their work, 
and engage in prayer. Not so, in London. 
Not so, even on the Sabbath morning. A good- 
ly number, it is true, gather themselves up and 
• 
go forth to the temple ot God. But what is this 
formal array of Sabbath-keeping, to the imposing 
hosts of Sabbath-breakers ; the thousands who 
stay at home, and the tens and hundreds of thou-
sands, singly or in families, that leave the lanes, 
and alleys, and gloomy workshops, into some of 
which the sunbeam never enters, and hasten to 
the country, to breathe its pure air, see its rural 
sights, snuff (as in childhood) the sweet breath of 
flowery fields, and feel that they have room and 
light, and liberty again? Alas, that the Church 
of England has slept, and now wakes to find that 
she has oa her hands a harvest of death ! 
THE SHINING ONES.—It is said that a pure 
diamond may be easily recognized by putting it 
under water, when it retains all its brilliancy, 
while all other precious stones lose their peculiar 
appearance. 
Thus it is with the person who is made pure 
in the blood of Jesus. However deep the wa- 
ters are which overflow his soul, still his light 
shines, showing the peculiar excellency of the 
Christian's hope, and the power of divine grace. 
Of such it may be truly affirmed, "ye shine as 
lights in the world, holding forth the word of 
fe."—Millennial News. 
The Jew's Leap. 
Captain Riley and his fellowesufferers from 
shipwreck, in their journey from Santa Cruz to-
wards Mogadore, crossed a remarkably danger-
ous and frightful pass, called "The Jews Leap." 
"The path," says Captain Riley, "which we 
were obliged to follow, was not more than two 
feet wide in one place, and on our left it broke 
off in a precipice of some hundred feet deep. The 
smallest slip of the mule or camel would have 
plunged the beast and its rider down the rocks 
to inevitable and instant death, as there was no 
bush or twig or anything* lay hold of by which 
a man might save his life. Very fortunately for 
us, there had been rain for a considerable time 
previous, so that the road was now dry. Rais 
told me it was never attempted when it was wet, 
and that many fatal accidents had happened there 
within his remembrance. One of these accidents 
he said, he would mention. A company of Jews, 
six in number, proceeding from Santa Cruz to 
Morocco, came to this place with their loaded 
mules, after sunset, but in the twilight, and be-
ing very anxious to get past the precipice before 
night, they did not take precaution to look out 
and call aloud before they entered on it; for there 
is a place built at each end of this dangerous 
piece of road from which a traveler may see if 
there are others on it, and the path or road not 
being quite half a mile in length, a person by 
shbuting lustily,can be heard from one end to the 
other. A company of Moors had entered at the 
other end, going towards Santa Cruz, at the 
same time ; and they also, supposing that no oth-
ers would dare pass it at that hour, came on 
without the usual precaution. When about 
half-way over, and unfortunately in the very 
spot where the two parties met, there was no 
possibility of passing each other, or turning 
about to back either way. The Moors were 
mounted as well as the Jews ; neither party 
could retire, nor could any one except the fore- 
Garibaldi and his Projects. 
The news of Garibaldi's movements is inter-
esting. A letter from Genoa, under date of Ju-
ly 14, says : 
"Colonel Corte arrived this morning from Pal-
env. The news continues good. It seems that 
the brave islanders are disposed to prove their 
aspirations after Italian unity by deeds as well 
as words, and Garibaldi is resolved to avail him-
self of their good intentions. Such is the feel-
ing of unanimity toward him that one muncipali-
ty vies with the other in preparing for his recep-
tion and in paying the traveling expenses of him-
self and friends. Several thousand youths have 
brought their names and addresses,with the pledge 
that they will respond at an hour's notice to 
Garibaldi's summons. The General has forbid-
den his followers to recruit volunteers ; 'that 
would awaken the susceptibilities of the govern-
ment.' All he says to the youths is, 'You un-
derstand me, I understand you ; provide your-
selves each with a musket ; practice, be silent, 
and listen for my voice ; when I call let each 
one answer present.' " 
" It is rather amusing to see Garibaldi so ten-
der of the susceptibility of the government,which 
is at its wit's end to know what to do. On the 
one hand, there is the French Ambassador de-
manding reparation for the insults offered to his 
master ; on the other hand, there are the Sicil-
lians drinking in Garibaldi's words as their life-
breath, ending in addresses like the following, 
than 20,000 names : 'General, 
no more vain chattering You say armed men 
instead of' protests. You tell us to throw swords 
not votes, to outweigh diplomacy ; and we, con-
vinced of the truth of your sayings—we tell you, 
now, our weapons are ready to hand, we are 
waiting your summons 
Ratazzi would do anything to oblige his friend 
and ally, would gladly arrest Garibaldi and send 
him to Paris as a hostage, but he cannot stir a 
finger without leaving Sicily in revolution. Be 
sent mediators entreating Garibaldi not to com-
promise him, and the reply was : 'Tell your 
master that if he will cause the French to march 
peaceably out of Rome—if he will prepare the 
Italian army for war with Austria, instead of 
sending our brave soldiers to die of yellow fever, 
to dishonor our name by fighting against the lib-
erty of a brave people—if he will do this in real 
earnest, I will prepare my volunteers to second 
the attack on Venice ; but I will not longer 
remain idle.' Such was the General's answer 
to Ratazzi's messenger. 
"The great question will come when Garibaldi 
goes to Naples. There he will find neither Pal-
lavicini for prefect, nor Medici for general of 
the National Guard ; but La Marmora, who is 
known in Italy as the bombarder of Genoa in 
1848. Only yesterday, as I went to see the 
statue of Columbus (which is at length complet-
ed, and is to be uncovered in August, on the an-
niversary of the the discovery of America), I 
was shown some houses in Acqua Verde dotted 
all over with the marks of the balls, and it re-
minded me of the discussion that arose soon af-
ter Garibaldi's entrance into Naples—as to the 
demolition of the fortress of St. Elmo. Gari-
baldi maintained his dislike to destroy any na-
tional propherty, and some one present said : 
I would leave it standing, General ; it will 
serve for La Marmora to bombard Naples 
"It is certain that Garibaldi means to go to 
Naples ; deputations from high and low, rich 
and poor, assure him that his presence there is 
actually necessary. Once there, it is difficult 
to say where his next station may be ; but 
wherever he goes the people go with him. Re-
member, that if Garibaldi was loved in 1860 by 
the Neapolitans, he is now simply worshipped 
French. Any 
career will 
produce serious consequences."

most get off his mule. The Moors soon became signed by more 
outrageous, and threatened to throw the J ews 
down headlong. The Jews, though they had al-
ways been treated like slaves, and forced to sub-
mit to every insult and indignity, yet finding 
themselves in this perilous situation, without the 
possibility of retiring, were unwilling to break 
their necks merely to accomdate the Moors. The 
foremost Jew carefully dismounted by getting 
over the head of his mule, bearing a stout stick 
in his hand ; the Moor nearest him did the same, 
and came forward to attack him with his scimi-
tar. Both Jew and Moor were fighting for their 
lives, as neither could retreat ; the Jew's mule 
was first pitched down the craggy steep, and 
dashed to atoms by the fall. The Jew's stick 
was next hacked to pieces by the scimitar ; when 
finding it impossible for him to save his life, he 
seized the Moor in his arms, and springing off 
the precipice, both were instantly hurled to de-
struction. Two of the other Jews and one of 
the Moors lost their lives in the same way, to-
gether with eight mules ! and three Jews who 
made shift to escape were hunted down and killed 
by the relations of the Moors who had lost their 
lives on the pass, and the place has ever since 
been called 'The Jew's Leap.' it is,indeed,enough 
to produce dizziness, even in the head of a sail-
or ; an if I had been told the story," said the 
captain, "when I was sitting on this frightful 
ridge, I am not certain but that my imagination 
might have disturbed my faculties, and rendered 
me incapable of proceeding with safety along 
this perilous path." We must admit that it is 
a story to which we can listen to with much 
more composure on a bright morning at one's 
own fireside than on a dusky evening at the edge 
of the precipice.

But there is yet a more serious reflection re-
maining to us ; and,while I recur to it,I tremble. 
It is this—that much of the good which we have 
omitted to do cannot now be done. Suppose, 
during the last twenty years only, we, with our 
connections, had put forth, by increased unity, 
love, and self-dernal,twice the measure of energy 
which we have employed ; are we not authoriz-
ed to assume that, at the lowest, twice the quan-
tity of good would have been accomplished ? 
Most of that good, however,cannot now be done ! 
Multitudes of those who should have been the 
objects of our attention have passed away from 
the sphere of exertion and of prayer. They

hundred times larger than the earth and all 
the other planets and their satellites taken to-
gether, on the same scale, such a central body 
would be five hundred times larger than all the 
systems and worlds in the universe. Here,then, 
may be a vast universe of itself ; an example of 
material creation exceeding all the rest in mag-
nitude and splendor, and in which are blended 
the glories of every other system. If this is in 
reality the case, it may with the most emphatic 
propriety be termed the throne of God.' 
"This is the most sublime and magnificent idea 
that can possibly enter the mind of man. We 
feel oppressed and overwhelmed in endeavoring 
to form even a faint representation of it. But, 
however much it may overpower our feeble con-
ceptions, we ought not to revolt at the idea of 
so glorious an extension of the works of God ; 
since nothing less magnificent seems suitable to 
a being of infinite perfections. This grand cen-
tral body may be considered as the capital of 
the universe. From this glorious centre embas-
sies may be occasionly despatched to all sur-
rounding worlds, in every region of space. Here, 
too, deputations from all the different provinces 
may assemble, and the inhabitants of different 
worlds mingle with each other and learn the 
grand outlines of those physical operations and 
moral transactions which have taken place in 
their respective spheres. Here may be exhibit-
ed to the view of unnumbered multitudes objects 
of sublimity and glory which are no where else 
to be found within the wide extent of creation. 
Here intelligences of the highest order ,who have 
attained the most sublime heights of knowledge 
and virtue, may form the principle part of th e 
population of this magnificent region. Here 
the glorified body of the Redeemer may have 
taken its principle station, as the head of all 
principalities and powers ; ' and here, likewise, 
Enoch and Elijah may reside, in the meantime, 
in order to learn the history of the magnificent 
plans and operations of Deity, that they may be 
enabled to communicate intelligence respecting 
them to their brethren of the race of Adam when 
they shall again mingle with them in the world 
allotted for their abode after the general resur-
rection. Here the grandeur of the Deity, the 
glory of his physical and moral perfections, and 
the immensity of his empire, may strike the 
mind with more bright effulgence, and excite 
more elevated emotions of admirature and rap-
ture than in any other province of universal 
nature. In fine, this vast and central universe 
may constitute that august mansion mentioned 
in the Scriptures under the designation of the

"Be still, and know that I am God : I will 
be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted 
among the nations of the earth." The forty-
sixth Psalm is evidently from first to last a mil-

in the midst of the world ; and it points the 
Christian to hi4 refuge, his safe and blessed re-

he is also with us. "He maketh wars to cease 
unto the end of the earth ; he breaketh the bow, 
and cutteth the spear asunder ; he burneth the 
chariot in the fire." if God is the source of vic-

Quietness in the Storm. 
Many ages have now passed away, and the 
world has grown hoar by the lapse of nearly two 
thousand years, since his disciples asked our Sa-
viour that momentous question on the heights of 
Olivet, " What shall be the sign of thy coming, 
and of the end of the world ? " And often since 
has the Christian church reiterated the inquiry, 
while creation groaned beneath the weight of 
sin, while the cry of persecuted saints,of oppress. 
ed nations, has ascended to the ears of the Lord 
of Sabaoth. Still to their earnest appeal, "Lord 
how long ?" the answer has ever been returned, 
"The end is not yet." A certain period must 
elapse before the prayers of a faithful church 
could be accomplished, before the desire of all 
nations should conic. It is an eventful period 
in the history of humanity ; an era characterized 
by the suffering and persecution, and trial of 
God's elect, by the apparent triumph and tran. I 
sient supremacy of their enemies. But amidst 
the darkness there was ever a light shining from 
above, a sacred fire which could net be extinguish-
ed. Amidst the tempest and the surge of angry 
waters there was a little ark bearing a small but 
faithful church, where rested One apparently 
unmindful, who would yet hush the discordant 
elements by His word of power. Yes ; the time 
seemed long, and many began to exclaim, "Our 
Lord delayeth his coming." And their hearts 
grew faint, and they waxed cold, and departed 
 
from their first love. For as the great original 
scheme of God's administration became more de-
veloped, the light of a pure Christianity was ob-
scured by the false semblance and the supersti-
tious devices of those who had departed from the 
truth deliverered by the apostles. An apostate 
church, with its slavish dogmas and corrupt 
hierarchy, was enthroned on the high places of 
Christendom. Thus, by the determinate counsel 
of God, it was ordained that the development of 
the divine attributes should be clearly manifest-
ed, and the final triumph of the Redeemer set 
forth, when he should overcome the powers of 
death and hell ! 
Therefore it came to pass, that as time rolled 
on, the mystery of iniquity was permitted to 
work until man seemed, as of old, to have cor-
rupted his way upon the earth. While in the 
East, millions were sunk in idolatry, or bowed

Temporal power of the rope. 
It was suspected by many that the great Cath-
olic gathering at Rome, avowedly to canonize 
some Japanese martyrs, had an ulterior object, 
looking towards the confirmation of the Pope's 
temporal power. But an Italian correspondent 
of the News of the Churches, says this purpose 
has been abandoned. His comments are full of 
interest: 
Most of your readers are doubtless aware, 
from the information diffused by the newspapers, 
that His Holiness,the Pope,has summoned a spe-
cies of council to meet at Rome in the month of 
May, for the avowed purpose of canonizing a 
band of missionaries, both male and female, who 
were slain by the Japanese long ago ; in other 
words, so far as his authority goes, of adding an-
other company to the multitude of saints who al-
ready blasphemously divide with Christ, accord-
ing to Romish notions, his work as " the only 
mediator between God and man." The meeting 
of this assembly has stired in a wonderful man-
ner the governments both of Italy and France, 
not, assuredly, from any regard they bear to the 
martyrs of Japan ; not, alas ! for any jealousy 
they feel for the invaded glory of the Son of God 
but because they entertain the belief that there 
is another object in view in summoning this as-
sembly than the one ostensibly set forth. Both 
in Italy and France the temporal dominion of 
the Pope has occupied of late much attention, 
and most reflecting men are convinced that it 
constitutes the real difficulty in the way of a sat-
isfactory settlement of the affairs of this country. 
This matter has been discussed in the French 
through the righteousness of faith. Rom. iv. 13. 
" Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God 
 
by thy blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, 
and people, and nation ; and hast made us unto 
our God kings and priests : and we shall reign 
on the earth" Rev. v. 9, 10. 
But the people of God will not receive the 
earth as their inheritance till it is delivered from 
the blight of sin, 'and is made new. He who 
sits upon the throne says, "Behold, I make all 
things new." "Behold, I create new heavens 
and a new earth ; and the former shall not be 
remembered, nor come into mind ; but be ye 
glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; 
for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and 
her people a joy." Isa. 65. 17, 18. There-
fore "we, according to his promise, look for new 
heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righ-
teousness." 2 Pet. Irt. 13,—or as Wesley ex-

The Destiny of the Earth• 
"According to his word, 
His oath to sinners given, 
We look to see restored 
The ruined earth and heaven : 
In a new world his truth to prove, 
A world of righteousness and love." 
The Psalmist, speaking of the heavens and the 
earth, says, "As a vesture shalt thou change 
them, and they shall be changed." This change 
is mentioned in the New Testament as " the re-
generation," " the restitution of all things," "the 
redemption of the purchased possession," and 
under other forms of expression. 
When the earth is thus renewed, and brought 
to more than its pristine state of beauty and 
blessedness, God will again look on the fair face 
of creation, and pronounce it " very good." He 
will also verify that ancient promise, "Truly 
as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the 
glory of the Lord." Then will prophecies like 
the following be fulfilled, "They shall not hurt 
nor destroy in all my holy mountain : for the 
earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, 
as the waters cover the sea." " Thy people al-
so shall be all righteous ; they shall inherit the 
land forever." " And there shall be no more 
curse." Then will that oft-repeated prayer be 
fully answered, " Thy kingdom come ; thy will 
be done in earth, as it is in heaven." In the

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
Chambers and in the Italian Parliament, in such 
a way as to make Pio IX. and Cardinal An-
tonelli anxious and uncomfortable as to the issue 
of Vis question, if left as it now stands. The 
impression, therefore, had become general, that 
the real intention of this council summoned to 
meet at Rome, was to add a further safeguard 
to the temporal dominion, by declaring it one of 
the dogmas or articles of faith of' the Holy Apos-
tolic R.man Catholic Church. On this account., 
if I recollect aright, the French government have 
prohibited the attendance of the French bishops, 
and the Italian government, though refusing, 
when questioned in the Chamber of Deputies on 
the subject, to issue a similar prohibition, has 
declared that it has power by law, and will know 
how to punish any of the bishops who prove them-
selves enemies to Italy. 
Alarm has not been taken by the secular pow- 
ers alone. Addresses and remonstrances have 
been signed in various places, by both the regu-
lar and secular clergy, by individual priests and 
by capitular bodies, and forwarded to the Pope, 
beseeching him to abandon the temporal power 
for the good of his country, and in some instan-
ces warning him in clear language to beware of 
making it a dogma of the church ; and the con-
sequence of all this has been, that if ever His 
Holiness did seriously entertain the idea, he has 
been obliged to abandon it. He lately paid a 
visit to the church of Santa Maria della Miner-
va, and in the sacristy he made a discourse in 
which he referred to the subject, and endeavored 
to set at rest the fears of the remonstrant cler-
gy by a solemn declaration "that the temporal 
power is not and never can be a dogma of the 
church ; but that it is a necessity for the church 
in the actual arrangements of providence. 
It remains to be seen whether this will satisfy 
the petitioning clergy, or disarm the distrust of 
the secular powers. In the meantime, the fol-
lowing comment upon the Pope's declaration, in 
the Nazoine of Florence, may prove interesting: 
"Judging by facts, it would appear that Provi-
dence does not believe in this necessity of the 
church, since it seems disposing all things with 
a view of showing men pointedly that eternal 
truth has no need of terrestrial arms or treas-
ures in order to triumph over error, and that 
the church of Christ requires no other crown 
than that of its virtues to reign over men. Be-
sides, to say that the bishops cannot declare the 
tempera' power a dogma, but only a necessity 
of the church, is one of those jesuitical artifices 
fitted to confuse the minds of those who are poor 
in spirit, since, granted the necessity, it is plain 
that, failing the temporal power, the church will 
perish. Behold, therefore, identified the church 
and the temporal power ; and since the immor-
tality of the church is a dogma, the temporal 
power, necessary and essential to its existence, 
becomes, of course, necessarily a dogma also. 
Here, then, is the Pope, who either proclaims 
that a dogma which is not one,or repudiates that 
which is really one. It may be said that there 
is the reservation as long as the actual arrange-
ments of Providence exist ; but to this we reply, 
that as Providence may vary infinitely its ar-
rangements, and as the loss of temporal domin-
nion to the church, which is now being fulfilled, 
may be one of these, it is unexampled temerity 
to declare that necessary and indispensable which 
Providence, by its acts, is demonstrating not to 
be so. 
Note from Bro. J. 1V1.• Orrock—Dr. 
Hutchinson. 
DEAR BRO. Buss :--As your readers were 
apprised of' the fact that Dr. Hutchinson was un-
able to leave for England as soon as he expected, 
on account of sickness in his family, I embrace 
a moment to say that I received a note from him 
dated Montreal, July 22nd, in which he stated 
that he expected to sail next day, from Quebec, 
in the steamer "Damascus," bound for Liver-
pool ; so that by this time, if they have had a 
good passage, be is probably more than half way 
over the Atlantic. 
His address, for some time to come, will be 
Rev. R. Hutchinson, M, D. (Care of Mrs. M. 
Holme), 34 Devon Street, Liverpool, England. 
Any letters addressed in this way will be for-
warded to him in case he has left Liverpool. I 
hope our friends will not forget the resolution 
passed at our last conference respecting assist-
ing him and his family pecuniarily. Having 
know him fur many years, I can testify that he 
is one who has really sacrificed for the cause of 
the Coming One ; and if our brethren in Eng-
land or America render him pecuniary assistance 
they may rest assured that he is "worthy for 
whom" they "do this." 
It is his intention, beside visiting relatives, to 
labor in the gospel, as his health will permit, and 
I trust he will give us his journal in the Herald 
—for there are many all over the land who will 
be glad to hear from him in this way. 
To you, Bro. Bliss, and to all "who have ob-
tained like precious faith with us," who feel the 
trials of life press heavily upon them, I would 
say, as Bro. Hutchinson did to me in the note 
above referred to : "Look to Heaven ; in this way 
conquer." 
I remain, in haste, Your unchanged 
friend, 
J. M. ORROCK.

assistance is timely and he is worthy.—En.] 
Particular Notice. 
Our readers have perceived that their papers now 
come to them by a printed, instead of a written di-
rection as before. It is not improbable that many 
names have been misspelled, in being transferred to 
blocks, or something omitted. We will therefore be 
obliged to any,who notice any inaecuracy,for prompt 
information that we may euireet the same. We 
would like always, where there is room to put it on 
the block, to give the first name in full, and also to 
have " Mrs." or " Miss," as the case may be, pre-
cede the name of all our female subscribers. We 
would therefore request those whose names now 
come only a first initial, to give us their name in 
full ; and we would like information in respect to 
any prefix or affix, proper in any instance, that is 
now omitted. Money fur the Herald might be sent 
at the same time ? In transfering to blocks we may 
also have omitted or misplaced some name, and 
therefore we would like prompt notice of any irregu-
larity in the receipt of the Herald.

I. H. Shipman. We thank you for calling our 
attention to the error of date, though it had already 
been noticed and corrected by Bro. Pearce, 
The Living Creatures. 
Boo Bross. I would like your view concerning 
Ezekiel's wheel within a wheel, the living creatures 
which he saw in chapter I. 
S. NORCROSS. 
Galconda, Ill., July 4, 1862. 
We have no clear conception of the significance 
of the wheels which we would he willing to put 
forth positively as the meaning of that symbol. The 
idea we favor is that they are appendages of the 
living creatures, to show the velocity of their mova-
runts. 
Of the "living creatures," however, we are clear-
ly of opinion that they are identical with the "set,. 
aphims" in Isa. 6 : 2 and the "four beasts" or liv-
ing creatures in Rev. 4 : 8. These last unite in 
the song, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and 
to open the seals thereof : for Thou wast slain, and 
Nast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every 
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation ; and 
bast made us unto our God kings and priests, and 
we shall reign on the earth." Rev. 5: 9, 10. And 
this proves them to be representative of the redeem-
ed of our race, who will one day sing, as the sera-
phim did, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts : 
the whole earth is full of his glory." Isa. 6: 3. 
"The Sabbath-days." 
Brio. Bross :—Will you please to give an expla-
nation of Col. 2: 16, 17. "Holy day," "new 
moon," "Sabbath days? " Do all of these relate to 
the Jewish feasts? or do only the two first ? Why is 
the italic word days added to sabbath, if it does not 
mean the seventh day sabbath ? Is Paul addressing 
the Jews, or Gentile Christians in this epistle ? 
Z. B. 
ANSWER. The epistle to the Collosians, like 
Paul's other epistles, is addressed to Christians ; 
among whom were Jewish and Gentile converts. 
And there being both classes, there would naturally 
arise various questions growing out of the difference 
in their previous religious education. It is very 
manifest that the Jewish Christians were every-
where strongly inclined to continue the observance 
of the Mosaic ritual, and it became often necessary 
for the apostles to impress on them the fact that 
the rites of the Sinitic and supplementary covenant 
had ceased to be significant—the substance having 
come of which they were only shadows. On the 
epistle to the Cullosians Dr. Whitby remarks thus : 
"As for 3he occasion of it, Theodoret informs us 
tkat it was writ against those Jewish Christians who 
endeavored to impose the observation of the law 
upon Gentile converts, as is apparent from his cau-
tion to them, to beware of those who 'spoiled them 
after the rudiments of the world,' 2: 8, and that be-
cause they were 'circumcised in Christ,' v. 11, and 
He had 'blotted out the hand-writing of ordinances 
which was against them,' v. 14, and from the infer-
ence thence made, Let no man judge you therefore 
in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holiday, or of 
the new moons, or of the sabbath-days ; which are 
a shadow," vs. 16, 17. Therest say it was written 
against them who sowed amtng them Jewish and 
heathenish doctrines ; and in particular against 
them who endeavored to bring in the worship of an-
gels." 
The word "days" is given in italics to show that 
it is a supplied word, and is not in the original ; 
which may read, "Let no man therefore judge" (i. 
e. condemn) "you in" (or for your not observing a 
distinction in) "meat or drink, or in respect of" 
(your neglect of) "an" (Jewish) "holy day, or of 
the new moon, or of the Sabbath." 
All of those observances were Jewish, and had all 
alike been "blotted out" by being nailed to the 
cross. When it is said, Let no man judge you in 
respect to them, the meaning is, Let no man cen-
sure or condemn you because of them. The word 
"sabbath," as here used, hasevident respect to the 
Jewish seventh-day sabbath. In the New Testament 
the word "sabbath" or "sabbaths" is used above 60 
times, and signifies in 56 of those places, without any 
question, the Jewish weekly sabbath ; and in the 
other places it is used by a metonymy for the whole 
week. In the Old Testament, when the word "sab-
bath" is used in connection with new moons or 
Jewish feasts it has distinct reference to the seventh-
day sabbath, as will appear by a comparison of 2 
K. 4 : 23 ; Isa. 1: 13 ; 66 : 23 ; Lam. 2 : 6 ; Ezek. 
45 : 17 ; 46 1 ; Hos. 2: 2; Amos 8: 4. Being 
here mentioned in the same connection, it is reason-
able to suppose it refers to the Jewish seventh-day. 
The Sabbath is often refered to in the Old Testa- 
ment in contradistinction from all other observances:; 
and therefore when used in connection with them, 
there can be no question that the seventh-day is in. 
tended. 
This, then, being clearly the meaning of the text, 
no man can be guiltless who condemns Christians 
for not observing the Jewish seventh-day, or for 
keeping sacred the day of our Lord's resurrection.

CHAPTER VIII. 
THE 2300 DAYS. 
Continued from our last. 
A. D. 1873. 
JOHN AQIJILLA BROWN, author of "The Even. 
Tide," London, 1823, dates the 2300 days from the 
supposed time of Nebemiah's second return to Jeru-
salem. Ile says :— 
" The epoch of the 2300 years may be considered 
as founded on the commission granted to Nehemiah, 
as well as on the decree of Artaxerxes to Ezra, con-
cluding it to have been proved that the 1290 years 
close with the battle of Gog and Magog, which is 
the extinction of the Mohammedan imposture, and 
which must be taken as the final cleansing of the 
sanctuary." 
" Prideaux has not indeed fixed the time of this 
second commission ; leaving it uncertain as to the 
very year of Nehemiah's second return, but coincides 
in the more decisive opinion expressed by Sir Isaac 
Newton as to its being the year A. C. 428 
Hence would 2300 years terminate in the very same 
year, 1873, as the 1290 years of the Mohammedan 
Hegira."—Even Tide, p. 113-115. 
The great uncertainty of the date of the event, 
given as that from which this period is to be reck-
oned, makes the argument assigned for the date of 
its termination of very little value. And .,besides, 
it was not the restoration of Jerusalem that the 70 
weeks were to be dated from, but the issuing of the 
decree for that restoration. 
A. D. 1880. 
REV. WILLIAM HALES, D. D., LL. D., author of 
" New Analysis of Chronology," London, 1809, al-
so connected the 2300 days with the 70 weeks or 
490 years, which he terminated in A.D. 70, with the 
destruction of Jerusalem ; and 1810 years more, to 
complete the 2300, carries him to A. D. 1880. His 
argument is as follows :— 
" And he was astonished at the vision ; but' none 
understood' how the daily sacrifice should be taken 
away, or when the period of 2300 days should begin 
or end. 
" Three years after, a further insight into the last 
mysterious vision was given to the prophet, immedi-
ately after his admirable prayer and confession of 
his own sins, and sins of his people, and supplication 
for the holy mountain of his God ; that his people 
might be restored from the Babylonian captivity, 
now drawing to a close, and the city be rebuilt ; 'yea 
while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gab-
riel,whom I had seen in the foregoing vision (8:16), 
flying swiftly, touched me about the time of the 
evening oblation, and informed me, and spake to me 
and said : 
"'0 Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee 
understanding and information. 
"'At the beginning of thy supplications, the Or-
acle came forth ; and I am come to tell thee [His re- 
sponse] ; for thou art greatly beloved. Therefore 
consider the matter, and understand the vision. 
" 'THE PROPHECY OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS. 
" Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people 
and upon thy holy city : to complete the transgres-
sion, and consummate sins; to expiate iniquity, and 
introduce everlasting righteousness; and to seal up 
vision and prophecy, and anoint the Saint of 
saints. 
" 'K❑ow, then, and understand : 
"'From the going forth of the Oracle to restore 
[thy people], and to rebuild Jerusalem, until Mes-
siah the Leader, shall be seven weeks and sixty-two 
weeks. 
'6 'jThou shalt return [and thy people, at the end 
of the vision of 2300 days], and Jerusalem shall be 
rebuilt ; both the street and the breach [of the wall], 
even in straitness of times. 
" ' And after the sixty-two weeks shall Messiah be 
cut off ; and (thy people) shall not he His : a people 
of the Leader to come shall destroy both the city 
and the sanctuary ; and its end shall he in a deluge. 
And until the end of the war, desolations are de-
creed. 
" But one week shall establish a new covenant 
with many ; and half of the week shall abrogate the 
[daily] sacrifice and oblation. And upon the pin-
nacle [or battlement of the temple shall stand] the 
abomination of desolation, even until the consum-
mation [of the 2300 days] ; but then the decreed 
[desolation] shall be poured [in turn] upon the Des-
olator.' 
THE AD.VEN r HERALD

north of Manzanillo, while the passengers were din-
ing, an alarm of fire was heard. The steamer was 
promptly headed for the shore, 3 1-2 miles distant, 
Guerrillas are rapidly increasing, and trains are the flames meanwhile making fearful headway. At 
fired upon. One man was killed and 13 wounded a quarter after 5 the upper deck fell. Soon after 
the steamer struck the beach, and those of the pas-• 
sengere and crew who had not got into the boats 
jumped overboard and endeavored to swim ashore. 
About 100, including 5 children, swain or were 
washed ashore alive. 
The ship burned to the water's edge and soon dis-
appeared. The passengers who reached the shore 
made their way to near Manzanilla, where they ar-
rived on the 29th, just as the steamer St. Louis ar-
rived up from Panama. 
Some few others escaped to Manzanilla in boats. 
One boat with thirty persons on lalarel has not been 
heard from,but it has probably made the shore south 
of Mantanilla. 
The St. Louis arrived here to-night, bringing sev-
enty-eight of the Golden Gate's passengers—all that 
are known to he saved—and a portion of the crew. 
Capt. Hudson and a portion of the crew remained 
at Manzanillo. to look after the missing passengers. 
" This chronological prophecy (which I have at- t 
tempted to render more closely and intelligibly, sup-
plying the ellipsis necessary to complete the sense of 
the concise:original) was evidently designed to ex- 
plain the foregoing vision, especially in its chrono-
logical part of the 2300 days ; at the end of which 
the predicted ' desolation of the Jews' should cease 
and their 'sanctuary be cleansed,' or their temple 
finally be rebuilt; by determining a certain fixed 
point or epoch within it,—namely, the destruction 
of the city and temple of Jerusalem by the Romans, 
A. D. 70 ; for, counting backwards from thence sev- 
enty weeks of days, or 70 times 7, 490 years, we get 
the beginning of the period, B. C. 420 ; and this be-
ing known, the end of the period, also, A. D. 1880 ; 
for 420 and 1880 make 2300. 
"The destruction of Jerusalem, therefore, divides 
the whole period into two unequal parts ; the for-
mer consisting of 490 years, beginning B. C. 420 ; 
the latter of 1810 years ending A. D. 1880. 
"I. The former part, and its divisions, noticed 
in this vision, are first to be considered. 
"1. The seventy weeks, or 490 years, of which 
it consists, are historically divided into 62, 7, and 
1 weeks ; and the one week subdivided into a half-
week. At the expiration of 62 and 7, 69 weeks, or 
483 years, Messiah the Leader was to send forth 
'his armies (the Romans) to destroy those murder-
ers (the Jews), and to burn their city,' (Matt. 22 : 
7). And, accordingly, the Jewish war commenced 
in the last, nr seventieth week, B. C. 65, during 
the administration of Gessius Florus, whose exac-
tions drove the Jews into rebellion, according to 
Josephus, Ant. xx. 10, 1. 
'!2. 'After the 62 weeks,' but not immediately, 
'the Messiah was cut off ;' for the 62 weeks expired 
A. D. 14 ; and the one week, or Passion week, in 
the midst of which our Lord was crucified, A. D. 
31, began with his public ministry, A. D. 28, and 
ended with the martyrdom of Stephen, A. D. 34. 
(See the Articles of the Ministry of Christ, and the 
Gospel Chronology, vol. 1, pp. 199-206, in which 
is given the luminous account of the Passion week, 
in reference to Daniel's prophecy, by Eusebius.) 
The Passion week, therefore, began two weeks after 
the sixty-two weeks, or at the end of sixty-four 
weeks ; and there were five weeks, or thirty-five 
years, after the passion week, to the destruction of 
Jerusalem. So that the seventy weeks must be 
chronologically divided into sixty-four, one, and five 
weeks. For the one week in the prophecy is evi-
dently not the last week of the Jewish war, and 
cannot, therefore, follow, in order of time, the six-
ty-two and seven weeks: 
"The magnificent opening of the prophecy itself 
seems to blend the fortunes of the Jews and of man-
kind together in the important period destined,-1. 
'To complete the transgression, and consummate 
the sins' of the Jewish nation, 'when their trans-
gressions should come to the full,' and they should 
'fill up the ineesure of the iniquity of their forefathers 
(Matt. 23 : 32), by rejecting and 'cutting off' the 
Messiah (Isa. 53 : 8 ; Acts 2 : 23 ; 3 : 13-15 ; 5 : 
30, 31). 2. 'To cover, or expiate the iniquity' 
of the human race, by the voluntary sacrifice of him-
self (Isa. 53 : 4-6 ; 1 Pet. 1 : 19 ; Heb. 9: 26 ; John 
1 : 29, &c.), and also 'to introduce everlasting righ-
teousness,' during 'the kingdom of the God of heav-
en,' and of his saints, which he was to found and 
establish upon earth ; thence to be translated to 
heaven at the end of the world (Dan. 7 ; 13, 14, 
&c. ; 1 Cur. 15 : 23-28, &c). And 3. 'To seal, 
or close prophetic vision,' when the gi:and scheme 
of Divine economy, in the Patriarchal, Mosaical, 
and Evangelical dispensations, should be sufficiently 
revealed to mankind by our Lord and his apostles, 
before the end of the seventy weeks ; after 'the Saint 
of saints should, on his resurrection, be annointed,' 
or 'invested with all authority in heaven and earth' 
(Matt. 28 : Rom. 1 : 4, &c.). 
"'The decree of the Oracle for restoring the Jews, 
and rebuilding Jerusalem,' could not refer to their re-
return from the Babylonish captivity, which was now 
past,and the city rebuilt by Nehemiah,long before the 
commencement of the prophecy, B. C. 420, in the 
fotirth year of Darius Nothus ; it must, therefore, 
retate to the final restoration of the Jews and re-
building of their city, after the long continued deso-
lation which was to follow the Roman captivity, 
and to end with the period of 2300 days. Then fol-
lows a parenthetical apostrophe to the prophet him 
self, foretelling his (and his people's) final return, 
at 'the end of the 2300 days,' or 'resurrection of the 
just' (Dan. 12 : 13 ; Luke 14: 14, &c.), analogous 
illy
to the parenthetical remark in Nathan's prophecy 
to the same effect (2 Sam. 7 : 10), and the rebuild-
ing of the city (Isa. 60 : 10 ; Ezek. 48 : 30 ; Zech. 
2 : 4). 
"When the Jews should reject and cut off the 
Messiah, they should also be rejected by him, and 
',no longer his' peculiar people, as expressly fore-
told by Moses (Deut. 32 : 5, more correctly transla-
ted), and by the prophets (Hosea 1: 9, Le ), until 
heir final adoption (Zech. 8 : 8) ; and 'the Roman 
armies' were to be sent, as 'people of Messiah to 
come' in judgment, in order to -be the executioners 
of indignation against that wicked and apostate 
generation' of the Jews (Matt. 23 : 35, 36). 
"'The abomination of desolation' were the deso- 
lating standards of the Roman armies, which were 
held in abomination by the Jews, on account of the 
idolatrous worship paid to the images of their gods 
which they displayed. The phrase occurs in the 
same sense afterwards (11 : 31 ; 12 : 11) ; and its 
signification is ascertained by our Lord himself, in 
his reference to and citation of this very prophecy 
of Daniel (Matt 24 : 15), as explained ot 'the Ro-
man encampments besieging Jerusalem' (Luke 21 : 
20). This testimony of our Lord himself is deci- 
sive to prove that the seventy weeks expired with 
the destruction of Jerusalem, A. D. 70, and, conse-
quently, that they began B. C. 420. And the fourth 
and last vision of Daniel is also decisive to prove 
that the joint beginning of the 2300 days, and sev-
enty weeks, was in the reign of Darius Nothus (11: 
1, 2)."—New Anal. Chron., pp. 559-566. 
Dr. Hales then commenced the 1290 and 1335 
days in A. D. 70, and ended the former with Wick-
liffe in 1360,and the latter with John Huss in 1405. 
The 1260 years he then commenced in A. D. 620, 
and ended in 1880.. 
We do not know of the adoption of this date by 
an7 other writer ; and the construction which ends 
the 70 weeks, not only appears very much forced, 
but has no marked event, in B. C. 420, for their 
commencement. 
It is a singular coincidence that the clearly de-
termined periods of the Hebrew Text, from creation 
to the undoubted era of Nabonassar, —spanning 
the two conjectural periods, and the judges, by 
Paul's 450 and 40 years, — and the authentic pe-
riods of profane history from the close of the sev-
enty years Babylonian servitude, amount to 6000 
years— as nearly as may be determined— at the 
epoch arrived at by Dr. Hales for the ending 
of the 1260 and 2300 years. But because of 
such coincidence no one would be warranted in 
affirming that the consummation of this world's 
history will be deferred until that epoch. It would 
be safe to regard it as the farthest limit to which 
the Advent and judgment could, with present light, 
be delayed ; but the part of true wisdom would be 
to regard those great events as liable to transpire, 
and all the periods to end, at any moment this 
side of that epoch. This woald require constant 
watchfulness for and continued expectation of the 
event, whilst the near ending of the periods would 
show it to be near ; which, doubtless, is the actual 
position our Savior requires at all times of his 
church,to whom he has left the injunction: "Watch 
therefore : for ye know not what hour your Lord 
cloth come. But know this, that if the good man of 
the house had known in what watch the thief would 
come, he would have watched, and would not have 
suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be 
ye also ready : for in such an hour as ire think not 
the Son of man cometh." Matt. 24 : 42-44.

The War. 
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, 
Aug. 8, 1862. 
Gen. Hooker remained at Malvern Hill until 12 
o'clock Wednesday night., when he fell back to his 
encampment, leaving a strong guard to Haxall's. 
The rebels moved down from Richmond on three 
roads, concentrating their forces near Malvern. 
They thought our whole force was advancing toward 
Richmond, when our movement was only a recon-
noissance in force. 
The gunboat Southfield, which has been aground 
for some days above Cove Point, was got off yester-
day. 
The enemy appeared in considerable force. They 
made no further demonstration than to drive our 
men a short distance. 
New York, Aug 8. The World's special 
Washington dispatch says : A civilian captured at 
Front Royal reached this city yesterday. He has 
been about Richmond for two or three weeks, and, 
although not able to tell much on account of his 
parole, declares that Richmond has not been evacu-
ated, nor are there any signs of pestilence. The re-
bel army lies east of the city, and he is confident its 
effective numbers have been greatly exaggerated. 
Stonewall Jackson, he says, is at Gordonsville with 
15,000 or 20,000 men. 
Nashville, Tenn. Aug. 8. Gen. Robert McCook 
TM in an ambulance near Salem, Ma., when mur-
dered. He was sick and on his way to his brigade. 
The guerrillas upest his vehicle and shot him 
when on his knees begging for quarter. lie lived 
but a few hours, When the 9th Ohio Regiment 
learned the facts they marched to the scene, burned 
alt the houses in:the neighborhood, and laid waste 
the lands. Several men implicated were hung on 
treee. 
on the train for Columbia to-day. Companies are 
forming here to assist in the capture of guerrillas. 
The excitement is intense here. 
It is rumored that a number of prominent seces-
sionists have been shot by the exasperated Union-
ists. 
Headquarters, six miles beyond Culpper, Va., 
Aug. 10. A battle was fought yesterday between 
Gen. Banks and Stonewall Jackson. Gen. Bayard, 
of Gen. McDowell's corps, with his cavalry brigade, 
had been engaged the day before in the extreme ad-
vance, near the Rapidan river, in skirmishing and 
manceuvering, which resulted in taking some prison-
ers, and ended with a slight loss, baffling the efforts 
of a large force to surround and cut him off. 
Yesterday morning he was engaged for some hours 
before Gen. Banks came up, and with three regi-
ments cavalry, consisting of the 1st Pennsylvania, 
1st Maine, and 1st Rhode Island, delayed and ern-
harassed the enemy's advance. The rebels, under 
Jackson and Elwell, had crossed the Rapidan in 
force, and their advance guard, 15,000 strong, was 
attacked by Gen. Banks yesterday afternoon, about 
six miles south of Culpepper Court Ilouse. 
The fight was almost wholly with artillery, at 
first, but the infantry became engaged about six 
o'clock, and a determined and bloody contest fol-
lowed. General Banks' right wing, under Gen. Wil-
liams,suffered severely. The rebel position was in the 
woods, while the troops which attacked them were 
obliged to cross open ground. It was not until about 
6 that it become evident the rebels were attacking in 
force. Previous to that there had been a rather 
desultory cannonade. The whole rebel force suddenly 
attacked in overwhelming numbers at all points. 
Nearly all their regiments had full ranks. 
At 7.12 o'clock Gen. Pope arrived from Culpep-
per, accompanied by Gen. McDowell, with a part of 
McDowell's corps. The battle was substantially 
over, Gen. Banks holding the same ground he occu-
pied at the beginning. After the arrival of Gen. 
Pope there was an artillery contest, continuing at 
intervals until nearly 12 o'clock. The night was 
unusually clear and the moon was full. The rebels 
planted a battery against McDowell's centre, where 
Gen. Pope and Gen. Banks were, bringing both of 
them under the fire. 
The Generals and their staffs were so near the 
rebel lines, being actually in front of their own lines, 
that a sudden charge of rebel cavalry was made from 
the woods, a quarter of a mile off, apparently with 
a vieli to capture them. The attempt was repelled 
by a vigorous fire from McDowell's troops, and the 
Generals and their staffs left the ground under a 
cross fire from the rebels and our own troops. The 
fire of the rebel batteries was afterwards silenced. 
Gen. Pope on arriving sent fresh troops to the 
front to take the place of Gen. Bank's exhausted 
columns. The enemy did nut renew the attack ex-
cept by artillery. 
It appears that there was severe fighting in Vir-
ginia on Saturday last, between Gen. Banks and a 
much superior force under the rebel Jackson. It 
did not, however, continue over the Sabbath, as at 
first reported ; nor did it leave the enemy master of 
the field, according to the following dispatch 
Culpepper, Va., Aug. 11. The enemy this morn-
ing sent in a flag of truce, asking permission to 
bury their dead. This shows that, with all their 
superiority of nu mbersethey were too badly cut up 
to maintain their position, and that their falling 
back yesterday was from necessity, not choice. 
Our troops are engaged in bringing off the wound-
ed from the field and burying the dead. 
DESTRUCTION OF THE REBEL RAM ARKANSAS. 
Washington, August 10. The following is from 
• 
the Petersburg Daily Express of yesterday. 
Richmond, August 8. A dispatch from Van Dorn 
to Secretary Mallory states that the Confederate 
ram Arkansas, Lieut. Stephens commanding, had 
been destroyed. She left Vicksburg on Monday, to 
eo-operate in the attack on Baton Rouge. After 
passing Bayou Sara her machinery became disabled, 
and while attempting to adjust it, several of the 
enemy's gunboats attacked her. After a gallant re-
sistance she was abadoned and blown up. Her offi-
cers and men reached the sboilin safety. 
Time Loss of the Golden Gate. 
San. Francisco, Aug. 6. The steamship Golden 
Gate, Hudson, commander, sailed hence for Panama 
on the 21st ult. baying 9G cabin passengers, 147 in 
*le second cabin and steerage, and a crew of 95 
men. She had also $1,400,000 in treasure.

Intervention. 
Tlae Pariscorrespondent of the Independence Beige 
asserts that the Emperor of Russia has consented to 
pioneer the way to intervention, by making a per-
sonal appeal to President Lincoln to negotiate a 
compromise between the North and South. If this 
fails, then England and France are to step in. On 
the other hand,and with infinitely more probability, 
the London correspondence of the Paris Moniteur, 
which invariably reflects the views of the hour of the 
French government, contains the following : 
"The grave and serious tone of Lord Palmerston's 
speech against Mr. Lindsay's motion has produced 
general satisfaction. On this question the country 
has the most entire confidence in the Cabinet. How-
ever easy it would be, on grounds of international 
law,to justify the recognition of the Southern States, 
the inconveniences and dangers of such a course far 
outweigh, in the opinion of the English public, the 
advantages which might eventually result from it. 
Every one sees that the recognition alone would not 
open the cotton ports ; and as to a recognition to be 
followed by an alliance with the Confederates and a 
war with the Federals, the nation is quite aversed 
to any such thing. The country therefore trusts to 
the Cabinet to watch events and turn them to the 
best possible account." 
The publication of the above paragraph in the 
Moniteur, (says the Paris correspondent of the Daily 
News,)so completely at variance with the recent ar-
guments of the Constitutionnel and Patrie in favor 
ot intervention, is very remarkable at a moment 
when, according to general report, M. Thovenel has 
failed in a mission to London intended to entangle 
England in a joint mediation. It would appear that 
the French 'government is (officially) converted to 
the English notion that it is better to let the Ameri-
cans alone." 
Foreign Intelligence. 
By the arrival at this port, this morning,of steamer 
Arabia, from Liverpool, via Halifax, we have Eng-
lish news to July 26th. The most important mat-
ter now before the English public is the new war 
with China, which has without the least warning 
becomes a fixed fact. Writing upon this subject the 
Liverpool Times says : 
It is clear that the Old Government of China is 
tumbling to pieces, and our policy ought to have 
been that of steering between the belligerents with-
out giving offence to either. But we have made 
enemies of the insurgents, and hence the demand for 
more troops from home, and, as things now stand, 
we are likely soon to have on our hands the gigan-
tic task of making the conquest of China. As a Bom-
bay paper by the last mail very pertinently obser-
ves, "tire have deliberately espoused the cause of 
the most corrupt, weak, and cruel depotism the 
world has ever seen, and we are about to reap the 
bitter fruits of our policy." 
The same authority adds,with equal force, "What 
offence have the Taepings committed against us that 
our cannon and fleets are to be employed in destroy-
ing them and our soldiers in capturing them, and 
handing them over to the tender mercies of the man-
darins to be desembowelled ?" The course which we 
have lately been pursuing in China ought to arouse 
the deep indignation of the country ; but we appear 
to be committed to this new and fatal course of ac-
tion, and where what is called "the honor of the 
country" is concerned, one false step is almost inva-
riably followed by another. The blunder of the 
French in Mexico is paralleled by our own in China. 
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR OF 
RUSSIA. We (Morning Star) have received positive 
information of an attempt made within the last few 
days upon the life of the Emperor of Russia. As 
Alexander was walking in the gardens of his palace, 
in St. Petersburg, he was fired upon by an assassin. 
The most strenuous efforts have been made by the 
Russian government to prevent the news from get-
ting -abroad, or, in case of any rumor finding its 
way out, to induce it to be confounded with a re-
ported but not fully authenicated attempt of the 
the same kind which gave rise to some alarm sever-
al weeks back. 
Indeed, the Russian Government exhibits at pres-
ent the most febrile anxiety to keep political intel-
ligence from either entering or passing out of Russia. 
The Ring of Belgium was better, and would prob-
ably recover. 
It is stated that the French loss in Mexico,in bat-
tle and by sickness, amounted to 1200. The French 
Government would repudiate Almonte. 
Wood House, July 2, 1862. 
From Bro. 11. Buckley. 
DEAR BRO. BLISS : — Having a dollar to transmit 
for a neighbor, I send this note in token of contin-
ued confidence and of interest in the great work of 
publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom near, in 
which you have so faithfully participated for years. 
Each Christian has trials peculiar to his or her 
position and calling, and none can fully sympathize 
with others excepting they have passed through the 
same or like trials. But there is consolation in the 
revealed fact that " Jesus was in all points tempted 
as we are, yet without sin," and that " he is able 
to succor them that are tempted." 
We are still in a world of conflict and trial, of 
strife and war. But how cheering the thought that 
the time hastens when " the kingdoms of this world" 
shall " bcome the kingdoms of our Lord," — when 
there shall be a perfect and eternal change of ad-
ministration : a king reigning in righteousness, and 
princes ruling in equity, — when " the meek shall 
inherit the earth, and delight themselves in the 
abundance of peace." 
H. BUCKLEY. 
Kingsley, Pa., July 17, 1862. 
From Bro. J. Miller. 
DEAR BRO. BLISS : — As an old subscriber to 
your valuable paper, and as I believe the doctrine 
of the personal reign of Clrrist on the new earth to 
be the truth of God's blessed word, I think we 
ought to be careful to instruct our children in these 
blessed truths. It seems to me that there was never 
a better opportunity than at this time. In looking 
over the report of the Pennsylvania conference I see 
that all those who have charge of the churches are 
striving to draw all the children in their different 
districts into their Sabbath schools ; which, I be-
lieve, is a step in the right direction. But what we 
want in our Sabbath schools is a library that would 
draw the attention of the young to the truths we 
believe. I think if a few of our able writers would 
take this in hand we soon could have a collection of 
lihrary books that could be used in the Advent 
church or Sabbath school throughout the whole 
land ; and I believe they would be well paid for 
their trouble. 
As I have had some experience in Sabbath schools, 
and have seen many of their libraries, I know they 
do anything but draw the attention of the young to 
the coming of Christ to reign with his saints on the 
new earth. In many cases, with all the instruction 
we can give them, there are books given into their 
hands that teach them the opposite, and when they 
grow up to riper years it is hard to get it erased 
from their minds. I believe in training up a child 
in the way that he should go, and when he is old 
he will not depart from it. 
Yours, in hope of speedy deliverance,

Wednesday, July 2. At 5 A. M. Elder L. M. 
Dudley called to convey me to Farnham, sixteen 
miles distant. We bade abieu to Bro. Lavilence 
and family and Bro! Hutchinson, and rode out eight 
miles to the widow Lucretus Lawrence, where, by 
special arrangement, we took breafast. Since my 
last visit Bro. Lawrence has been called away by 
death. He died in faith of the speedy resurrection. 
Sister L. has a noble and industrious family of sons, 
so that they are prospered in the things of this life. 
And it is my prayer that these children may follow 
the example of their sainted father and loved mother, 
in embracing the gospel and preparing for the king-
dom, that at the coming of Jesus they may be an 
unbroken band. We had a very pleasant interview, 
and, after reading and prayer, bade them adieu, and 
came to Farnham, and put up with Brother Dudley.

laws was written by Dr. afterwards Bishop Brnett. 
Its principles were then what they are now, viz. : 
Fur the protection of life, property, and the Protes-
tant religion ; — a defensive society against the in-
roads of Popery. It was resuscitated or re-organ-
ized at the battle of Diamond, in Sept. 1795 ; and 
it assisted in putting down the Irish rebellion in 
1798. A lodge was instituted in Canada West in 
1830, and there are now twelve hundred lodges in 
that Province. Their vast influence is now being 
felt by the Catholics in Canada East ; and they will 
no doubt soon be able to check papal designs on the 
liberties of Protestants in the Provinces. 
They take the same view of the Papacy that I 
The Great Tribulation. 
This is a phrase with which the church has latter-
ly become very familiar; and yet there are few who 
do not feel themselves more or less perplexed in their 
minds with regard to what it is ; whether past, pres-
ent, or future ; by what circumstances it is produced; 
who are to be the sufferers ; how long its continuance, 
etc. Some refer it to the Jewish troubles during the 
siege and destruction of Jerusalem ; some to the per-
secutions of the church, first by the Roman em-
perors, and afterward by the papacy. Others still 
regard it as descriptive of a state of war and strife 
in the last days ; that it originates in a state of gen-
eral immorality and blood thirstiness. We will ex-
amine well of these positions and test them by the 
word of God. 
The first and generally prevailing view, that it re-
fers to the sufferings of the Jews during the siege 
and destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70, has already 
been in part considered : but we will examine it 
more carefully. 1 The language of Matt. 24: 19 
bears such a striking resemblance to that of Dan. 
12: 1 that one can hardly fail to identify them as 
the same. But that in Daniel is what is to " befall" 
his •‘ people in the latter days," and is placed by 
the angel not in connection with the destruction of 
Jerusalem, but in connection with the destruction of 
her antagonists, the gentile power, and the standing 
up of Michael, her prince and the prince of Israel, 
for the deliverance of such as are found written in 
the hook. So, also, we shall find the case in Matt. 
24. The 14th verse brings us to the end of the age, 
when this gospel of the kingdom shall have been 
preached in all the world for a witness to all nations. 
Then conies the abomination of desolation and the 
great tribulation, immediately after which comes. 
the Son of man. 
That in Daniel is to be such as never was to that 
same time ; that in Matt. such as never was to that 
time, no, nor ever shall be. If this is the greatest 
that ever was or ever shall be, and is in the past, at 
whatever time, then that in Daniel cannot be the 
greatest that ever was and be in the future ; for 
there never shall be so great as that foretold by 
Matthew. To say, as is sometimes done, that that 
in Matthew related to the Jews at Jerusalem's fall, 
and was tribulation, and the other trouble to come 
on the wicked, will not do ; for that in Daniel re-
lates to Daniel's people, the Jews, in the latter days. 
And the difference between intense trouble and great 
tribulation is a distinction without difference. The 
distinction will not stand. The two descriptions are 
identical. They both, therefore, refer to futurity 
and to the same event, and not to Jerusalem's des-
truction. 
But will Matth. 24 apply to the Christian perse-
cutions since the destruction of Jerusalem ? 
The same difficullp meets us as before, the identi- 
ty between this and aniel's time of trouble in the 
fatale. And again, it cannot be reconciled with 
the text ; the cause of tribulation is " the abomin-
ation of desolation," which is to "stand in the holy 
place," the temple. To evade this, it is said that 
the holy place is the church, which is called Godj 
temple. Then what is the abomination of desola-
tion standing in the church? "The papacy," it is 
answered. Then the tribulation cannot embrace

MY JOURNAL. 
MELBOURNE AND DANVILLE, 6. E.. 
Continued from our last. 
Tuesday, July 1. Visited the sick and others 
this A. M., and at 11 o'clock took the stage for 
Lawrenceville, where I dined and visited the fami-
lies of E. Lawrence and P. Lawrence. I did intend 
to stop and preach, but the arrangement failed ; so 
I went on to Waterloo. How changed this whole 
country, from Melbourne to Waterloo ! On my 
first visit, with Dr. Hutchinson, to the Province, in 
1845, I came over this road —and travelled thirteen 
miles, in one case, without seeing a house ; but now 
it is well cleared, and settled with thrifty farmers. 
The wilderness, in this respect, has blossoped. 
We arrived in Waterloo in the evening, and was 
kindly received at Bro. M. L. Lawrence's. Called 
upon Elder J. M. Orrock, the pastor of the Advent 
church here. He has just moved into the place. 
Had an interesting interview with him and family, 
and also with Dr. Hutchinson and family. Expect-
ing to leave at an early hour for my next appoint-
ment, rose at 5 A. M., and, as Elder M. L. Dudley 
did not come for me, I took a Graham breakfast with 
Dr. Hutchinson and family. We mutually enjoyed 
the soci and the vegetable repast. The Dr. is a 
convert to the plain diet, and the use of drug medi-
cation. His health is improving under the new 
diet, and he may yet be a strong and well man. 
May it be so. After breakfast I called on Dri Par-
mice, who informed me that a large delegation of 
the various temperance organizations of the county 
and visitors from Montreal were to meet in the grove 
at 10 A. M., for speeches and other exercises, and, 
being president of the assemblage, invited me to 
speak ; which I was right glad to do in so good a 
cause. Some two thousand people 'were on the 
ground by about noon, when, in consequence of the 
failure of the first speaker, I was called upon to 
make the opening speech. 
I told them that this was an unexpected honor 
from John to Jonathan. But since the late flurry 
about the Trent had passed over we were all broth-
ers again in peace, and I hoped it would never again 
be disturbed : which was received with applause. 
I then gave my testimony on total abstinence, and 
in favor of all movements and agencies of a moral 
or legal nature for the support and progress of the 
cause of temperance — giving them a gentle hint in 
reference to abstinence from all narcotics as well as 
temperance in eating and drinking ; all of which 
was well received. 
The meeting then adjourned for refreshments, 
which were in accordance with temperance. Every-
thing was quiet and orderly throughout the grounds. 
At 2 P. M. Dr. Parmalee, the president, called 
the meeting to order again ; when we were enter-
tained with stirring speeches from various speakers 
in the vicinity and from Montreal, with music and 
song, closing with a speech from Mr. Huntington, 
M. P., on the legal aspect of the reform. They will 
soon get a law in Parliament that will aid them in 
the work. 
The temperance cause in Canada East is in ad. 
vance of the United States. The reformers are in 
good earnest. God give them good speed. 
In the evening Mr. Gower, Grand Secretary of 
the Grand Orange Lodge of W estern Canada, lec-
tured on the " cause and origin of Orangeisrn," or 
true Protestanism. The lecture was given in the 
Second Advent chapel, to a respectable audience. 
I was glad to be one of the favored ones, for I was 
never more delighted and instructed. 1 went to hear 
about as much prejudiced as many do to hear an 
Advent lecture, and left with the same astonish-
ment and delight that many have done on hearing 
an able lecture on the second coining of Christ. I 
had supposed that the Orange lodges were violent. 
and rowdyish in their opposition to the papal power, 
and that it was of Irish birth, connected and con-
fined with their domestic feuds. How different. It 
originated in Western England, on the landing of 
William the Third, Prince of Orange, in the year 
1688, and under his auspices. The first code of 
the pagan persecutions, beginning in the apostolic 
age, for the papacy was not then set up. But why, 
if it is the papacy in the church, were those in Ju-
dea at the time it appeared in the church to flee to 
the mountains? And this they are directed to do 
because of the coming tribulation, evidently to es-
cape it. The absurdity and incongruity of the theory 
are its own refutation. 
But does it refer to general trouble in the last 
days, by various causes? Clearly not. It is a trou-
ble to have its rise by placing the abomination of 
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, in the 
holy place. It is to affect particularly and first of 
all those in Judea ; it is therefore a clear implica-
tion that the holy place is in Judea, from whence 
those who see the sign are to flee. 
It is, then, from this cause, and not from a gener-
al cause or causes, that the great tribulation is to 
arise. 
But what is the abomination of desolation, which 
shall stand in the holy place ? Paul speaks of it in 
2: Them 2:3,4. " And that man of sin be revealed, 
the son of perdition ; who opposeth and exalteth 
himself above all that is called God, or that is wor-
shipped ; so that he, as God, sitteth in the temple of 
God, showing himself that he is God." This mon-
ster is the " son of perdition." This is a title given 
to Judas Iscariot, John, 17 : 12. He is dead, and 
has gone to his own place. But we are told, Rev. 
13th, of an image which is to be invested with a 
Spirit (pneunict) and it shall both speak and cause 
that as many as will not worship the image shall 
be killed. It is not impossible that Judas may be 
that spirit. The argument in favor of it is — 
Judas is a devil. 
Judas is dead, and therefore a disembodied 
spirit. 
He is called " the son of perdition." 
The man of sin is " the son of perdition." 
The " son of perdition " is in existeece, and to 
be revealed and claim supreme worship. 
G. The image of the beast is to do the same 
thing. 
I am not fully satisfied that Judas is the one, but 
lie may be.

Lines on the Death of William Miller. 
Respectfully inscribed to Mrs. Lucy A. Bartholomew, 
BY THEO. D. C. MILLER. 
Breathe gently, 0 Muse, of the favored of God ; 
Rest sweetly, thou form, laid beneath the cold sod ; 
A father in Israel dwelleth no more, 
In frail mortality, on earth's drear shore. 
Rest calmly, sweet sleeper ! no anguish or pain, 
No sorrows oppress thee ; no jeers of the vain 
Can sadden the heart purified by the sword, 
The spirit of Christ, with his dear holy word. 
We miss thee, dear father. Thy calm, happy face, 
In peaceful contentment revealing God's grace, 
Is laid 'neath the sod, where the casket doth lie; 
The soul, wreathed in glory, ascends to the sky. 
0 glorious wanderer, happy in love 
Of angels and seraphims, dwelling above ; 
No tempest can darken, no friends ever part — 
God's spirit, in love, dwells in each Christian heart. 
We miss thee, 0 father ; for Time, in his flight, 
Braided months into years, since to mansions of light 
Thy spirit was borne — gently tuning its lyre 
With praises to God from the seraphim choir. 
Thou art gone. Still we listen, but know it is vain, 
To hear thy sweet voice, dearest father, again. 
Our lamps ever trimmed, we will wait for the hour 
That ushers us into that bright, heavenly bower. 
Ever patient, we wait for the coming of God, 
Gently treading the path that our father has trod. 
A little more time and we'll meet thee above, 
Dear father, to dwell in those regions of love. 
Glen Villa, May 1862. 
[We would respectfully suggest that the resurrec-
tion, at Christ's coming, was the great hope of Wm. 
Miller. He believed those who sleep in Jesus rest 
in the same hope as do the living, longing for the 
resurrection. In all our preaching, and in all our 
writing, don't let us fail to keep constantly in view 
the great hope of the church, the near coming of 
Jesus and the resurrection. It is always painful to 
hear death spoken of, without the recovery from it 
is also brought prominently to view. For the Lord 
our God will come again, and all the saints with 
Him.—ED.] 
 
From Bro. D. Campbell. 
BRO. Buss — I have bad the pleasure of preach-
ing for Messiah's church in this place, from Heb. 9: 
28. In this neighborhood are several of Elder Flan- 
der's friends. Ile came here to preach several months 
before the protracted effort of last spring, by Elder 
I. R. Gates and himself. I am truly thankful to 
Almighty God for the work these brethren have 
been assisted in performing in this place. They 
number forty-seven baptized believers, and are pros-
pering under the labors of their pastor. May God 
assist him in holding forth the word of life, that 
they as well as Paul may rejoice in the day of

[Such a library would be most desirable. It needs 
however to be remembered that it requires a very 
peculiar talent to write a book that will both inter-
est and instruct children. Also, no book will pay 
for itself unless at the start one thousand copies of 
it can be readily sold. After maturely considering 
this question, we are of the opinion that in the ab-
sence of books specially advocating our views we 
should select hooks that teach nothing contrary to 
them. " Judah's Lion," by Charlotte Elizabeth, 
though tinctured with Judaism, is one of the hooks 
that should be in every Sabbath school library.—

From Bro. Jeiemiah Spear. 
BRO. BLISS : — As the church at Derby Line was 
not reported at our late Conference held at Water-
loo, C. E., permit me to say that we, as a church, 
are still trying to stem the flood of opposition and 
or have spent their strength for nought. They have 
subscribed for the erection of a church, and the work 
is in progress. God permitting, I shall preach this 
evening to the people. 
The following, for the Herald, is given by Solo-
mon : 
"A false balance is abomination to the Lord : but 
a just weight is his delight." . . . " The integrity 
of the upright shall guide them : but the perverse. 
ness of transgressors shall destroy them." Prov. 
11:1,3. " He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his 
life : but he that openeth wide his lips shall have 
destruction." Prov. 13 : 3. " The backslider in 
heart shall be filled with his own ways." Prov. 14:

witness will utter lies." Prov. 14:5. "A true wit-
ness delivereth souls : but a deceitful witness speak-

is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth his

trials which surround us, and to gain an entrance 
in the kingdom promised to the people of the saints 
of the most high, whose kingdom is an everlasting 
kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey 
him. Being somewhat scattered, we sustain weekly 
prayer meetings in three neighborhoods, which are 
well sustained, and a covenant meeting once a 
month. We feel the importance of taking heed to 
the words of the Saviour, " Strive to enter in at the 
straight gate, for many, I say unto, shall seek to 
enter in and shall not be able." We have had the 
faithful labors of Elder Orrock for the last few 
years.We esteem him highly for his work's sake. 
Since his removal to Waterloo we have had no 
preaching, except one visit from Elder H. Canfield, 
of St. Johnsbury, Vt. While we feel the loss of our 
preacher, we are led to look to the great shepherd 
and bishop of our souls for the grace we need to 
sustain us in these perilous times. We hope to get a 
preacher soon. But we see that the harvest is 
great and the laborers few, therefore we pray the 
L rd of the harvest to send forth more laborers into 
vineyard. And may the Lord direct the steps of 
faithful one this way, is my prayer. 
I am yours in hope, 
Stanstead, C. E., Aug. 2, 1862. 
From Sister N. Colburn. 
BRO. BLISS : - I have been somewhat troubled 
lest I should be obliged to discontinue the Herald ; 
but I feel that I cannot do so, if it is possible fur me 
to pay fur it. Enclosed you will find one dollar to-
wards my subscription for this year, which is all I 
now have to send you. I am poor in this world's 
goods, but hope to be rich in the kingdom. 
I have been confined to a sick bed for nearly two 
months, and it is doubtful whether I ever recover. 
But I can say,. the Lord's will be done. If there is 
no more for ins to do, I think I am willing to lie 
down and rest till Jesus comes, when the saints shall 
lift up their heads and rejoice ; for the judge stand-
eth at the door. All things speak his coming near. 
The nations have become angry, and men's hearts 
are failing them for fear, etc. And I feel as though 
I could say, come, Lord Jesus, and come quickly ; 
for the nations will then learn war no more, and 
God's children will meet in the land of the blest, no 
rnsre separation to fear. 
And here let me say to my dear brethren and sis-
ters in the Lord, be faithful to your calling ; desert 
not your post, for the Lord is at hand. Yes, 
A little while our Lord will come, 
Let us the precious hours redeem ; 
Our only grief to give him pain, 
Our joy to serve and follow him. 
Waiting and ready may we be, 
As those who long their Lord to see. 
A little while - 'twill soon be past ; 
Why should we shun the promised cross? 
0, let us in his footsteps haste, 
Counting for him all else but loss. 
How great the recompense- Hie smile -
Fur the sufferings of this little while. 
May God give us richly of his spirit, and fully 
prepare us all for his coming and kingdom, is my 
sincere prayer, and should be the prayer of every 
true child of God. 
1 hope those brethren who are able will not for-
get, in these exciting times, to contribute to the 
support of the Herald. And may Almighty God, the 
giver of every good and perfect gift, grant Bro. 
Bliss the means to publish and send it abroad, to 
cheer the scattered flock, till Jesus comes. Then we 
shall no more need its wise councils. 
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good 
comfort, be of one mind, live in peace ; and the God 
of love and peace shall be with you. 
This from your unworthy sister, looking for re-
demption at the resurrection of the just.

Memoirs of William Miller. 
By the author of the Time of the End-excepting 
the first three chapters, which were by the pen of 
another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. 
Few men have been more diversely regarded than 
William Miller. While those who knew him, es-
teemed- him as a man of more than ordinary mental 
power, as a cool, sagacious and honest reasoner, an 
humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection-
ate friend, and a man of great moral and social 
worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin-
ions of him anything but complimentary to his in-
telligence and sanity. It was therefore the design 
of this volume to show him to the world as he was 
-to present him as he appeared in his daily walk 
and conversation, to trace the manner in which he 
arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into his 
closet and places of retirement, to unfold the work-
ings of his mind through a long series of years, and 
scan closely his motives. These things are shown of 
him by large extracts from his unstudied private 
correspondence, by his published writings, by nar-
rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pub-
lic labors in the various places he visited, a full 
presentation of his views, with the manner of their 
conception, and various reminiscences of interest in 
connection with his life. 
The revivals of religion which attended his labors, 
are here testified to by those who participated in 
them ; and hundreds of souls, it is believed,will ever 
regard him as a means, under God, of their conver-
sion. The attention given to his arguments caused 
many minds, in all denominations, to change their 
views of the millennial state ; and as the christian 
public learn to discriminate between the actual po-
sition of Mr. Miller, and that which prejudice has 
conceived that he occupied, his memory will he 
much more justly estimated. The following notice 
of this volume is from the "Theblogical and Liter 
ary Journal." 
This volume is worthy of a perusal by all who 
ake an interest in the great purposes God has re-
vealed respecting the future government of the 
world. If the first chapters descend to a detail of 
incidents that are of little moment, and betray a 
disposition to exaggerate and over-paint, the main 
portion of the memoir, which is occupied with the 
history of his religious life, is not chargeable with 
that fault, and presents an interesting account of 
his studies, his opinions, his lectures, his disap 
pointments, and his death, and frees him from many 
of the injurious imputations with which he was as-
sailed during his last years. He was a man of vig-
orous sense, ardent, resolute, and upright; he had 
the fullest faith in the Scriptures as the word of 
God, and gave the most decided evidence that he 
understood and felt the power of their great truths. 
Instead of the ambitiousness of a religions dema-
gogue, he was disinterested ; his great aim in his 
advent 
 His de- 
meanor, on the confutation of his calculations re-
specting the advent, was such as might be expected 
from an upright man. Instead of resorting to sub-
terfuges to disguise his defeat, he frankly confessed 
his error, and while he lost faith in himself, retain-
ed his trust undiminished in God, and endeavored 
to guard hit followers from the dangers to which 
they were exposed, of relapsing into unbelief, or 
losing their interest in the great doctrine of Christ's 
premillennial coming. 
A Volume for the Times. 
"THE TIME OF THE END." 
This volume of over 400 pages, compiled by the 
present editor of the Advent Herald and published 
in 1856,treats "the time of the end," (Dan. 12: 0,) 
as a prophetic period preceding the end ; during 
which there was predicted to be a wonderful in-
crease of knowledge respecting the prophecies and 
periods that fill up the future of this world's dura-
tion, to the final consummation. 
It presents various computations of the times of 
Daniel and John ; copies Rev E. B. Elliott's view 
of "our present position in the prophetic calen-
dar," with several lectures by Dr. Cumming, and 
gives three dissertations on the new heavens and the 
new earth, toy Drs. Chalmers, Hitchcock, and Wes 
ley. To this is added "The Testimony of more than 
One Hundred Witnesses," of all ages of the church 
and of all denominations of Christians,-expressing 
faith in the personal advent of Christ, his reign on 
the renewed earth, on the resurrection of the just, 
&-c. It is for sale at this office and will be sent by 
mail, post paid, for 75 cts.-to those who do not 
wish to give $1., its former retail price.

IVIIITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way or 
progress in the healing art. It is adapted to all the 
purposes of a family Salve. It effectually cures piles, 
wounds, bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains, corns, burns, 
fever-sores, scrofulous humors, erysipelas, salt-rheum, 
king's evil, rheumatism, spinal difficulties, chafings in 
warm weather, &c. &c., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best cembination of 
medicinal ingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of the best phy-
sicians of the various schools use it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, thafings, &c., and also for sore teat FOE 
cows. It cures felons. It cures Arts. 
From Mr. Morris Fuller, of North Creek, N. Y.: "We 
find your Golden Salve to be good for everything that we 
have tried it for. Among other things for which we have 
used it, is a bad case of ' scald head' of our little girl. 
Its effect in this case was also favorable." 
"We like your Golden Salve very much in this place. 
Among other things I knew a lady who was cured of a 
very bad case of sore eyes." Walter S. Plummer, Lake 
Village, N. H. 
Mrs. Glover, East Merrimack street, Lowell, was cured 
of a bad case of piles by the use of one box of the Salve 
Mr. Farrington, a wealthy merchant and manufacturer. 
Lowell, was relieved of piles which had afflicted him 
for many years, and remarked to a friend that it was worth 
a hundred dollars a box for piles. 
Miss Harriet Morrill, of East Kingston, N. H., says: "I 
have been afflicted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though 
1 never expect to be well, yet to be relieved as I am from 
day to day by the use of your Golden Salve, fills my heart 
with gratitude." 
From Mr. J. 0. Merriam, Tewksbury, Mass. : "I have 
a large milk farm. I have used a great deal of your Gol-
den Salve for sore teats on my cows. I have used many 
other kinds of salve. Yours is the best I ever saw. I 
have also used it for sprains and scratches on my horses. 
It cures them in a short time. I recommend it to all who 
keep cows or horses." 
From Dr. Geo. Pierce, Lowell : " Your Golden Salve is 
good. It will have a great sale." 
From Dr. W. S. Campbell, New Britain, Conn. : "Toni 
Golden Salve is a great thing for chilblains. I have also 
used it in afflicting cases of salt rheum, erysipelas, and 
sore nipples. Its effect was, a speedy and permanent cure." 
Dr. Bliss, of Brunswick, Me., says : "I have several 
friends who have been cured of scrofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may ecommend it from me as a val-
uable Salve." 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-
den Salve was applied, it relieved the pain in a short time, 
and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."-
Mrs. Lucinda A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. H. 
Mr. II. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer, 
Marion, Ill., says, " Every person that uses the Golden 
Salve testifies favorably." He has also published a list of 
names in his paper, of persons cured of wounds, sores, hu-
mors, rheumatism, &c., and gives the public reference to 
them ; who, he says, are among the first citizens of the 
place. 
THE GOLDEN SALVE-A GREAT HEALING REMENT.-It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved-a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved-
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; also another of an old roan, 
who had a sore on his foot for twenty years-cured in a 
few weeks. Our citizens will not be slow in getting at its 
merits, and will herald it over the land.-Boston Herald. 
Boston, July 12, 1659. Bro. 'Whitten : I have used your 
Golden Salve in my family, and I am acquainted with a 
large number of families also who have used it ; and I 
have reason to believe that it is really what you recom 
mend it to be.

Never more to hear her saying, 
" Darling ! are you ill or well 7" 
Gently on our forehead laying 
Hands that like a blessing tell. 
0, my mother, never more ! 
Never more to wonder, sighing, 
When the busy day will close, 
So with heart to heart replying, 
We may tell its joys and woes. 
0, my mother, never more ! 
Never more to hear her gliding 
By the bed her prayers had blest, 
With her hand the candle hiding, 
st it should disturb our rest. 
ti, my mother, never more ! 
Never more to know she's keeping 
Watch on all we say or do; 
Fondly anxious, waking, sleeping, 
With a care forever new. 
0, my mother, never more ! 
Other hands may gently tend us, 
Other hearts be real and true, 
Other loves their treasures lend us — 
But they cannot love like you. 
0, my mother, never more!

Road in that place, six miles from Rouse's Point, N. 
Y. The Adventists in the entire region, with all 
persuasions of Christians, are most cordially invited 
to attend,and take an earnest and active part in the 
objects of the meeting. 
All who have tents will bring them. And friends 
in the vicinity are invited to put up cheap lumber 
tents, or others, for themselves and strangers. Poard 
and lodging will be provided on reasonable terms. 
Also pasture fur horses. And . everything will be 
done by the brethren and friends in the vicinity to 
make the people comfortable ; and tried and faithful 
brethren, Di. E. M.Loomis, of Perry's Mills, N.Y., 
and Alvah Loomis,of Champlain, N. Y.,may by ad-
dressed by any who wish accommodation or any 
further information about the meeting. 
The meeting is located in a grove un the farm of 
Fry Clark, one-fourth of a mile from the depot, 
Perry's Mills. Water for man and beast, and lum-
ber for tents, in close proximity. 
The meeting will commence on Friday, August 15, 
at 4 P. M., and be continued every day, over two 
sabbaths, to the 24th. 
Ministers of God, brethren, sisters, and friends, 
one and all, come up to the feast. There never 
was a time when the door was opened so wide 
and effectual as now fur the Adventist to speak 
and work for God and a doomed world. Many, 
too, among us have left their first love, and have 
need of help. Many in our families are out of the 
Ark of safety,and shall we not do something to res-
cue them belore the storm of vengeance falls? Can we 
endure to see the destruction of our kindred? The 
community, too, are looking to us for light on the 
coming kingdom. Shall we not give it? Can we 
withhold and be innocent in the day of the Lord ? 
We have light on the time, and the signs of the 
Advent of the King of kings : shall we not give it? 
by hesitate to give the trump a certain sound ? 
Rome is falling. The false prophet is tottering, and 
Armageddon, with its strife and slaughter, is just 
upon us ! 
Come then, ye veterans of the Advent faith, come 
ye young with the old soldiers, let us shake off the 
the dust of sloth and indolence, and gird on the ar-
mor of God. Let us seek and possess full redemp-
tion, and do what we can to multiply the number 
who shall stand on Mount Zion in the day of the 
Lord.

RECEIPTS, 
UP TO TUESDAY, AUGUST 12. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD SO 
which the money credited pays. .N0. 1075 was the closing 
number of 1861 ; No. 1101 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1862; and No 1127 is to the 
close of 1862. Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address — the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is d:rected. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to give 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town arid office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may be others at the same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the seine family will write res-
pecting it,w ithout stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forget even to sign 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent. 
Those mailing, or sending money to the office by other 
persons, unless they have a receipt forwarded to them, are 
requested to see that they are properly credited below. And 
if they are not, within a reasonable time, to notify the office 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respecting, and to send money himself, for his own paper 
than to send by an agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-office right, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in small 
sums, is less likely to be lost than when sent in larger ones, 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage, merely 
to accommodate the one who sends.
