"BEHOLD!  THII:  BlliDEOilOOM  COMETH!!"  

BOSTON,  AUGUST  19,  18415,  

SisTER  FitCH.- We  learn that Bro. Fitch's  
widow needs some  assistance.  Money sent  

to  

this  office  for her,  by  those who feel a duty in  
this  matter,  

will  be forwarded to her.  Breth- 

ren,  remember the  widow  and  fatherless.  

Letter  from  Bro.  c.  P.  Whitten.  

Brother  Bliss:- When  'the  "Herald"  

of  the  22d  ultimo  came  to  hand,  I  felt  

v_ery  much injured.  You  misjudged  my  mo- 

ttves  altogether.  And  as  the  initials  of  my  

name over your article  are  known  
to  a  con- 

siderable  extent,  I  wish  the  privilege  of  
counteracting  the influence which  your  

arti- 

cle  has already  exerted.  I  did  not  wish  to  

"  bribe"  you  "  to  banrlle  the  Word  of  O'Gd  

tleceitfully."  If  a  man  cannot  be converted  
from a doct.rine  without being  

"bribed,"  he  

had  better  remain as  he  is.  Neither  did  I  

wish  to  "tamper  with  the  conscience"  of  
others.  

Upon  the article  of  E.  Burnam  on  

the  "correspondence,"  I  cast  no reflections.  
I  

would  only  remind  him  of  the  excellent  

advice  of  the  "Investigator''  to  the  "  Olive  

Branch,~'  on  indulging  in  religious  rant,  
when  speaking  of  

hi6  Christian  brethren!  
When  I  wrote  

you  concerning  the  "  Extra  
Herald,"  I  

had  determined  Oal  leaving  a  copy  

at  every  house  in  town.  I  wished  to  do  it  

in  view of the  shortness  of  time,  and  also  of  
the  unprepared state of  

my  much  respected  

neighiJors.  I  wrote merely  to  ascertain  the  
character  of your article,  whether  

it  was  to  

discuss  the  time  between  the  re!!urrections,  

or the  reality  of  a  resurrection,  
"both"  of  
the  righteous  

and  the wicked :  as  its  reality  

is,  as  you  very  well  know,  extensively  de- 

nied !  I  said,  in  the  letter  which  I  wrute,  

that  I  did  not  wish  to  dictate.  I  wished only  
to  know, that  

I  might  make  the  necesRa.ry  

arrangement  for  distributing them.  And  as  I  
was liable  

to  be  called  in  question,  by  those  
who  received  the  papers.  concerning  

the  

doctrines  taught  i  and,  &  I  ld  ypu,  that  I  
did  

not  believe  in  " tile  time  ''  between ;  I  
could not, therefore,  

in  v'ery  good  faith,  meet  
an  opposer,  

who  might  interrogate  rAe,  and  

clear  up  a point  which  I  dirl  not  believe.- 

!  hope,  therefore,  that  my  brother,  or  br~th·  

ren,  will  nu  longer consider  me  a:)  guilty  uf  

bribery.  I  am  well  aware  that  I  frankly  
opened  

my  mind  to  you,  in  few  words,  con- 

cerning  the  spirit  that  had  been  manifested  
when  opposing the view  

of  the  resurrt:ction,  
about  which the Savior  tells  us  

nol  to  "mar- 

vel."  Wba t I wrote was  done  in  confidence- 

not  because  I  was  ashamed  of  what  I  ~oin­ 

cerely  believed,  but  because  I  was  well  

aware that  there  had  been  full  too  many  con- 

.  tending  questions  before  the  public.  But  
the  subject is  

now  out in the shape  that  it  is.  

The  following  is  the  letter  referred  to,  on  

which  the  remarks  to  correspondents  were  

based:- 

Dear  Brother  Bliss  :-I  have  just  read the  
wishes of  the  brethren  

in  New- York,  res- 

pecting  the  .. Extra  Herald."  I  do  bdieve  

it  is needed.  The subjects  mentioned  
to  be  

brought  before the public ought  to  be  faith- 

fully  distributed  once  more.  I  shall  help  

with  all  my  soul,  if  the  time  between  the first  
and  second  resurrections  is  

rwt  oiscussed.  

The  literal  two  resurrections  I  should  wish,  

with the  other subjects,  to  be  faithfully  set  
forth.  

If  I  can  know  t.hat  this  will  not  be  

taken  up  in  your article,  I  shall  waut  three  
hundred  copies,  

and  shall  abo  try  to  get  

?thers  to  enfage  in  it,  where  I  can exert  an  

wdnence.  fit  is,  1  canilot  in  conscience.  
I  

do  not believe it.  A  large  number  of  the  
brethren  

do  not  believe it.  Neither  dn  I  t1ee  

the  need  of  discussing  it  with  such  surety,  
from  the  belief of  the  

"Fathers,"  as  you  

and  brother  Marsh  have  done.  Some  of  
brother  Marsh's  articles  were  little  better  
than brow-beating.  

I  feel  that  a  number  of  
clearly  literal  witnesses are  

bfltter  than  one  

which  may  not  be  literal.  There  are,  cer- 

tainly,  Job,  Daniel,  aod  tbe  Savior,  against  
this  

one  witness.  The  sayings  of  the  

Fathers  can  be  brought  forth  uoth  ways.  

The  subjects  are those  upon  which  we  can  

.. all  write  and  act  ;"  if  the  time  of  the  re- 

surrections  be  left out.  Y  oo  can araswer  by  

private  note,  or just  say  in  the  receipts,  that  

your request  u  or  is  not  complied  with.  

I  drop  ~  line  thus  early,  Lhat  I  may  

· THE  ADVENT  HERALD.  

know  what  to  depend upon,  and  not  to  dic- 

tate.  If  my  request  is  complied  with.  the  

monev  shall  be  forwarded  in  due time.  I  lhink  

I  can'  raise  help  for  a  1000  copies  in  this vi- 
cinity.  

Yours,  in  the  blessed  hop,,  &c.,  

C.  p.  W  Hl'l'TIJI,  

Templeton,  {MlUt.},  July  14,  1846.  

It  is difficult  for  us  now  to  diYest  oureelf  

of  the  impression  that  the  aboYe  contains  an  

inducement  for  us  to  go  around  the  point  in  
question.  

Our  Brother  knows  that  we  were  
appointed  

to  write  on  "  The  Two  Resurrec- 
t.ions  and  Millennium."  

He  takes  it  for  

granted  that  we shall  write  on  the  question  

assigned  to  us.  The  Millennium is the  1000  

years  between  the  two  resurrections,  and  
these  precede  

and  follow  the  millennium.  
Now,  we  enquire,  

how  could  we  write  

on  the  subject  assigned  to  us,  without  dis- 

cussing  the  time  between  the  resurrec- 
tions.!  

It ·  would  be  an  impossibility  to  do  

it:  it would  be  omitting  the  point  assigned  

to  us.  Well,  then,  as  we  could  not  write  

on  the·  question  assigned  to  us,  without  pre- 

senting  tnis  point,  we  could not but  look  on  

the offer  to  take  300  papers,  if  we  did  not  
discuss  

this,-with  the  intimation  that  he  

migh~  want  1000,  and  in  connection  with the  
remark  that  

he  could  not  see  the  need  ~f  

discussing  it, and that  many brethren  
did  not  
believe  

it,-in  any  other  light  than  as  an  in- 

ducement  for  us  to  vary  from our purpose  to  

present  the  whole  truth.  We  are  glad,  
however, that  our brother disclaims  any such  
design.  
As  to  there  being  any  brow-beating  

in  

brother  Mansh  's  articles,  we  thought  them  
the reverse.  

He  certainly  replied  with  due  
kindness.  

That  he  annihilated  the  article  

was  very  evident;  but  that  was  to  be  ex- 
pected.  

Those  who  enter  the  lists  of  po- 

lemic  theology,  should  ascertain  their  own  

capabilities  before they  venture  in  the arena.  

A~  to  the  quotations  from  th~:  fa1hers,  

the  Qbject  of  those  is  evid 

1 

ently  misappre- 

heodP.d.  Brother  Marsh,  nor  we,  suppose  
the  

opinions  of the  fathers  are of any  we1ght,  

as  opinious.  Their  testimony  is valued  as  evi- 

dence  of  the  under>Standing  which  those  bad  

of the teachings  of  the  apostles,  who sat  
un- 

der their  instruction.  If  any one  could have a  
correct  understanding  of  what  the  

apostles  

designed  to  inculcate, it must  be  those  who  

were  conver.sa.nt  with  tht>m,  or  who  were  
their  immediate  successors,  

in  preference  to  

those  who  live  1800  years  after,  and  put  
forth  a  

view  which  was  unheard  of  during  
the first  three  centuries.  

Our  brothe~  says,  
the  sayings  

~f  the  fathers  can  be  brought  
forth  

both  ways.  Let  him  try  it.  W  c  allude  

to  the  first three  centuries.  As  to the  
literal  

witnessess,  look  to  our reply  to  the  fullowing  

communication.  
Brother  

Whitten  in  his letter  adds  :- 

You  say  I  need  to  discuss it.  Mav  I  there·  

fore  be  permitted  to  offer  the following.  FICst  

w  ilness  :  Job  14:11,  12-·•  As  the  waters  fail  

from  the  sea,  and  the  flood  d~caveth  and  dri- 

eth  up,  so  man  lieth  down  and.  riselh  not:  

TILL  the  heavens  be  no  more  they  shall  not  

awake, nor  be  raised  out of  sleep."  Second  

witness:  lsa.  26:  19,  21-"  Thy  dead  men  

shall  live,  together  with  my  dead  body  shall  
they  arise.  Awake  

and  sing  ye  that  dwell  

in  dust:  f,,r  thy  dew  is  aa  tbe  dew  of  herbs,  

and  the  earth  shall cast  out  the  dead.  Come  

my  people, enter  thou into thy cbarnbers,  
and  

shut  thy  doors  about  thee :  hide  thyself  as  
it  were  

for  a  little  moment,  unLil  the  indigna- 

tion be overpast.  For  behold the Lord  com- 

eth  out of  his place  to  punish the  inhabitants  
of the earth  

for  their iniquity:  the  earth  also  
shall  disclose  her  

blood,  and  no  more cover  
her  

· slain."  Third  witness:  Dan.  12:1,  2- 

"  And at that  time  s~all  Michael  stand  up,  

the great  Prmce,  whtch standeth  for  the chil- 

dren  of  thy  people ;  and  tbere  shall  be  a  
time  

of  trouble such as  never  was  sioce there  
was a  nation, even  

to  &rhat  same  time :  and  

at  that  time  thy  people  shall  be  delivered,  

every  one that  shall  be  found written  in  the  
book.  And many of them  

that  iltep  io  the  

dual  of  the earth  aball  awake,  aome  to  tvef'·  

lasting  life,  and  so~e  to  shame  and  everlast:  

ing  contempt."  Here  the  resurrections,  both  

of  the  righteous  and  of  the  wicket!, occur  

''at  that  time,"  viz.,  when Michael  stands  

up.  Apply  v.  6--"  How long  shall  it  be  to  

the  EMD  of  these  wonder.f  1  ''  What  won- 

ders·l  What  wanders  were  last  named  1- 

Ans.  The  "  Awaking  of  them  that  sleep  in  

the dust  of  the  earth,  some  to.  everlasting  
life,  

and  some  to  shame and everlasting  con- 

tempt."  V.  7-the  revealer  of  secrets  gives  

the  time  which should intervene  to the  "  END  

of  thue  wonders,"  with  an  oath.  There- 

fore, whatever  the  time  signifies  in  this  12th  
chapter  

of  the  prophecy  of  Daniel,  it  ex- 

tends  to  the  resurrection  of  the  wicked.- 

~o  language  can  possibly  portray  a subject  
clearer,  

in  my  humble  opinion.  
Fourth  witness:  John  

5  :  28,  29-"  Mar- 

vel  not  at  this  ;  for ·  the  hour  is  coming  in  

the  which  ALL  that  are  in  their  graves  shall  

come  forth:  they  that  have  done  good  unto  

the  resurrection  of  life;  - and  they  that  have  
done evil  unto  the  resurrection  of  

damna- 
tion."  

What  language  can  be  more literal,  
positive, or clear  

1  This  is the voice of  none  

other  than  the  Son  of  God.  Concerning  
those  

who  hear  his  words  and  keep  them, it  

is  said,  that  they  shall  be  more  blessed  than  
the  

womb  that  bear  the  Savior,  or  the paps  
that  gave  

him  suck.  May  we  here  be  per- 

mitted  to  apply the  rule  for  reading  and  un- 

derstanding  the  Scripture:  "To  understand  
doctrine,  bring all  the scriptures  together  

on  

the subject  you wish  to  know;  then let every  

word  have  its  proper  induence,  and  if  you  

can  forrri  your  theorr  without a  conlradicliM,  

you  cannot  be  in  an  error."  In  this  case,  if  

we  find  a  passage of Scripture  which  contra- 

dicts,  or destroys  the  sense  of  plain  hteral  
passages,  

by  permitting  "ever)'  word  to  have  

its  proper  influence,"  it  must  be  taken  as  be- 

ing spoken  in  a figurative sense,  whether  we  

r 'uay  be  able  to  comprehend the  figure or  not.  

Is  not this  fair  argument  1  Let  the  candid  

and  the unprejudiced  mind  answer.  Now  in  

the plain,  (ami  I  do  not  hesitate4c.l-say,  that  

in  humble opinion,)  literal  passages  which I  
have quoted,  

by  "letting  every  word  have  

it&  proper  influence,"  Rev.  20  ·:  4,  5,  when  

taken  in  a literal  sense,  "  contradicts"  the  
dnctrine  

thus  obtained.  I  am  not,  however,  
able at  present  

to  comprehend  what  that  re- 
llll\rkable passage  

is  designed  to  teach.  I  do  

uot  pretend  tu  know what  it  rloes  mean.  I  

only  exercise  the  liberty  which  every  
man  

in  a  free  community  possesses,  i.  e.,  to  say  

what  it  does  not  mean.  Tf  this  rule  is  nut  

a  good  one, then surely  our  learned  fathers  
have greatly  erred  

in  their  conclusions  upon  

religious  ductrines,  in  a  multitude  of  in- 

stances.  

Yours,  waiting  for  the  eternal  kingdom of  
God.  

C.  P.  WHITTEM.  

Templeton,  (Mass.},  .Aug.  5,  '46.  

The.  above is  the  first  communication  
we  

have received  in  advocacy of that  view.  We  

should reply  to  it at  this time  in  full  ;  but  our  
article  

on  "  The  Resurrections  and  Millen- 

nium,"  which  we  have prepared  for  the"  Ex- 

tra,"  will  cover  all  the  points  at  issue,  and  

supercedes  the  present  necessity.  
We  how- 

ever  cannot  refrain  from  appending a  few  re- 
marks.  

We  will put a  few  questions  to  wit- 
r.esses  adduced.  

FIRST  WITJ.'U:SS.  

What  does Job  t~ay  1  Does  he  say  that  
the  wicked  will  

be  raised  at  the  time the  
saints  are  

1  No:  he does  not  even  intimate  
it, indirectly.  Does  be  

say  the  wicked  will  

IJe  raiaed  when the  heavens  are  no  more  1- 

No.  He  says  ~orbing  about  that.  What  

then does  he  say~  He  merely  declares  that  

man  will  not  be  raised till  the  heavens  be  no  

more :  till  then  there  can  be  no  resurrection;  

and  as  far  as  this  evidence  is  concerned,  
there  might  be  

no  resurrection  of  either  
righteous  or  wicked.  But  perhaps  our  
brother  may  inquire  

if  the  declaration- 

that  man  will  not rise  till  the  heavens  be  no  

more-does  not  proYe  that  all  men  will  then  

arise  1  No,  nor that  a  part  will.  The  use  
of  

tile  same word .  in  other  passages  proves  
that  

we  ha•e  no  right  to  such  an  inference.  

The  followin~  exam  plea  must  suffice:- 

1  Sam.  15:35--"  Samuel  came  no  more  un- 

til  the  day  of  his  death."  Of  couue,  he  

ReM"  eame  again.  

2  Sam.  6 :  i3-"  Therefore  Michal,  &he  

daughter  of Saul,  had not  child  unto  [the  same  

word] the day of her  death."  

Psa.  112:8-"  His  heart  is  established,  he  

&hall  not be  afraid,  until  he see  his  desire  upon  

his enemies."  
Isa.  

22:14-''  Surely  this  iniquity  shall  not  

be purged from you  till  ye  die."  

Isa.  43:4-"  He  shall  not  fail  nor  be  dlir  

couraged,  till  he  have  set  judgment  in  the  

earth."  
Isa.  

46:4--"  Even  to  [the  same  word]  your  

old  ago  I  am  he."  

MatL  5:18-"  Till  heaven  and  earth  pass  

one jot or one tittle  shall in no wise pass  
fro~  

the law till all  be  fulfilled."  Does-this  imply  

that  any part  of  the  law shall fail,  
even  sup- 

posing heaven and earth shall pass  
away  1  

Matt.  28:26--"  Lo, I  am with  you,  always,  

even  unto  the end of  the world."  Would  he  

cease  to  be with them then  1  

Rom .  5:  13-"  Until  tje  law,  sin  was  in  the  

world.''  I  .  surely did  no~leave  the world  then.  

The  prst  witness  of  our  brother  cannot,  

therefore,  bear on the question.  It  only  shows  

till  what  time  man  cannot  arise ;  
and  we  

sh~d  not know that  any portion of  mankind  

would  then  arise,  only as other  passages  
une- 

quivocally  assert  it.  It  however proves,  that  

the new heavens  and  new earth  must  be  at  the  

firet  resurrection.  

SECOND  WITNESS.  

Does Isaiah  assert,  that  the  earth shall  at  

one time  ,cast  out  all  her dead  1  No:  he  says  

nothing in the texts quoted  respecting  
whether  

it  is  to  be  at one time,  or many.  Any  suppo- 

sition,  either  way,  can  bQ  only an  inference,  

unauthorized  by  the  language  used.  
What  

does  he  8.Sfert1  In the  14th v.  he had  already  

ass'erted,  speaking of  the  wicked,  that  "  th e y  

are  dead,  they  shall  not  live ;  they  are  de- 

ceased, they  shall  not  arise.  He  then  brings  

into  contrast  with  their  condition  tha  of  the  

Lord's  children';  and  he  exclaims,  
"  Thy  

dead  me~  shall  live,  together  with  my  dead  

body  shall  they  arise.''  Who  1  Why,  those  

who  are  the Lord's.  He  cannot surely  include  I  

those whom he had just  asserted were  
dead- 

should  not  live--and  should  not  arise.  Wlio,  

then, are  the  dead whom the  earth  shall  cast  ·  

out  1  The  grammatical  sense  will  admit  of  

but  one  explication.-It  must  be  the  dead  of  

whom  he had  just  been  speaking,  who  were  

to arise  and  live  ;-not  those  who  were  not.  

His  second witness, therefore,  instead of  
tes- 

tifyiug  on  the  side  which has  introduced  him  

into court, testifies against him.  
'  

THIRD  WITNESS.  

Does Daniel assert that  all  that  sleep  in  the  

dnst of the  earth  will  awake  when  
Michael  

shall  stand  up  1  No.  What  does he  say~  

He says,  "  Many  of  them  that  sleep  in  the  

dust of the earth  shall  awake."  Does"  many  

of"  include the whole  1  It  cannot;  for  it  e.x:·  

pressly excludes a part.  But  does he  not  say  

at  this  time  some  will  awake  to  shame  and  

everlasting contempt  1  No;  he  says  nothing  

about the  awaking of  those who  are  
reserved  

to  shame and  everlasting contempt.  
And  so  

clear  i::~  the language  of  the  original Hebrew,  
that  

Prof.  Bush  argues  from this very  passage,  

that  the  resurrection  is an attainment  
which  

the wicked  'Will  never participate in.  But  we  

shall dwell  on  this  more  fully in the  " Extra."  

We  would,  iowever,  remind  our  brother,  

that  those  who  are  to  be  delivered  at  that  

time, are  those  who are  called"  thy  people,"  

who ·  are limited  to  "  every one  that  shall  be  

found  written  in  the  book."  Our  brother  gets  

no  aid  from  his  third  witness.  Erring  in  the  

premises, the  oonstruetions  based  on  them  are  

va~ueless.  The  language  80  
"  clear,"  is  e.x:·  

pressively the  re\'enle.  

FOURTH  WITNE!!S.  

Does the  Savior say  that  all  will  come  forth  

at  one  hour1  No.  What  does he  say!  Jle  
asserts,  

that  in that hour  all  who  are  in  the  

graves  will  come  forth.  Do  those  who  are  

in  the graves  at  tha&  time,  include those  who  

shall have been  raised  1000  years  previously~  

It  cannot.  But  does  not  the  Savior  say,  that  

they who have  dooe  good  shall  CQIDe  fort~  to

The  inference  which  our

We  should pursue this subject farther,  

did  we  

aot  e.xpect  to  resume it  so  sooo.  We  regard  

tbia  as a gross error,  
as  a virtual  relinquishment

ing  right  earnestly  and  seriously  about  

the  

near  approach  of  Christ:  if_  I  go to Mr.  H. 's,  
there  he  is  

with  his  Bible in his  
han~,  preach- 
ing  and  warning  all  

that  may  come  to  his  
shop ;  then  Mr.  

W.  is  spreading  the  truth  in  
the same  way  

at  the  station;  so is  Mr.  B.  at  
the  chair  factory ;  indeed  Christ's  coming  
seems to be the  subject  

of  their  conversation  

from  morning  till  night.  

"Such  may  we ever be  
Till  

in  the  clouds  our Lord we  see,  

Then  each will welcome  
to  his  heart  
One  

who  from  us  will never  part."  

Do not conclude from all this,  however,  that  
the truth  

meets  with  no  opposition in this  
king- 

dom;  as  the  brethren  frequently  say,  when  
wishing  

to  speak  of  the various burdens  which  
are laid  upon them  and  their  

countrymen,-

The  l111mits,  

THE  GREAT  SUPPORT  OJ'  POPERY-HOW  MADE.  

No.  III.  

I  shall  now  follow  Father  Ravignan  in  his  

expose  of  the  constitution of the Society of  
Jesus.  

,(St.  Ignatius  of  Loyola  
is  the sole  

author  of  the  con11titutions,  as of the  Exer- 
oisee."  

self, little  by  little,  of  this false  life,  of these  
facticions interests,  of  these  inferior  

affec- 

tions,  which  hinder  from  aspiring  to  the  com- 

bats  and  triumphs  of  the  greater  glory of  

God  and  of  the conquest  of  souls."  

P.  73.  "The  two  years  which  follow  tho~te  

of the  noviciate, are  given  first  to  rhetoric  

and  literature ;  three years  
to  philosophy  and  

the  physical  and  mathematical sciences,  
and  

sometimes more."  

Ravignan,  pp.  95-6-7.  "These  are  the  

words  of  St.  Ignatius  I  translate them liter- 
ally,  

•  All  shall  study  to  observe principally  

obedience,  and  to  excel  therein.  One  must  

have  before  one's eyes,  God  our Creator  and  

Lord,  for  whose  sake  one  renders  obedience  

to  man.  One  toust  uee  all  one's endeavors  

to  act  in  a spirit of love,  and  not  in  the  dis- 

turbance of  fear.  In  all  those  to  whom  obe- 

fiience  can  reach  with charity, (that is,  
with- 

out  sin,) let  us  be  as  prompt  and  docile  as  

possible  to  the  voice  of  the  superiors,  as  if  

it  were  the voice  of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord;  

fOR  IT  IS  HIM  WE  OBEY  IN  THE  PERSON  OF  

THOSE  WHO  HOLD  TOWARDS  US  HIS  PLACil.  

Let  us  go,  then,  with  great  readiness,  
with  

spiritual  joy  and  perseverance,  
to  all  that  

he  ahall  order  us,  renouncing,  by  a  kind  of  

BLIND  OBEDIENCE,  every ·  contrary  judgment,  

and  this  in  all  that is  regulated  by  the supe- 

rior.  and  in  which  there  is  not  found  sin.'  

eooner  let  the  "  Herald"  go  to  its  grave  

than ever  pe~mit  it  to  be  the advocate  of  such  

a prostitution of  some  of the plainest  delara.  

tions of  God's  holy  Word ;  or  silently  con- 

nive at their advocacy  
among  Advent  believ.  
ers.  It  

is  no  time  now  to  give  up  the  very  

basis  of  the  Advent  doctrine,  
and  a  point  

invoh·ing  the  whole  question of  the  literal  

principle of interpreting the Word  
of  God.  

True,  we  are  told,  that  after  all  is  said  

through  ifie  ·~Bible  Advocate,"  which  its  

originators  wish  to  say  in  support of a  11pirit- 

U:\l  resurrection, the other  
side  may  be  pre- 

sented.  This  luoks altogether  
too  much  like  

wishing  to  bave  the  door  open  till  the  horse  

is  stolen,  and  then,  if  we  wish,  we  may  lock  

it.  If  thev have  full  <'onfidence  in ' th'e  doe.  

trine they  a~vocate,  why - shrink  from  an  open,  

fair,  manly,  and  Christian  discussion,  
con- 

ducted  in  the candid  ma!!net  of Bro.  Marsh's,  

in  the  "Voice  of  Truth  1"  Why  this  attetnpt,  

by  threats  and  bribes,  to  silence  discussion,  

except  on  one  side of  the question  
1  Go  on,  

then,  in  the  name  6f  the  Lord,  and  let  us  

have  such  arguments as  you  have  been  giv  ..  

ing  us  from  Engli~h  penA  for  some  time  past,  

and  we  have  nbtlung  to  fear  for  the  cause  of  

truth.  Your course  
is  most  heartily  approved  

by  the brethren  in  this city  and  State.  

Page  58,  he  eays,  "The  Noviciate, the  

studies,  the third year of  probation,  and  the  
different  

offices  we  fulfil  ;  the government of  

the  company, oor  vows  of obedience;  these  
are  the principal  points of  

which  I  have to  

speak."  

On  p.  63,  Father  Ravi(;!nan  introduces the  
course of  training  of  a  Jesuit.  

"A  man  

tired of the  world  quited it.  •  •  •  He  
invoked  

obedience  as  a  saviQg  asylum that  
was  

to  protect  his dignity  
as  a  mao,  and  as- 

sure  him ,  the  possession of  the true liberty,  
the emancipation of the soul.  The  mark of  
the  

spiritual  exercises  completes  tlie  shewing  
him the light  and  tracing  

him  the way ;  he  
knocks  

at  the door of the  company  of Jesus.,.  

P.  64,-"  Placed still  on  the threshold, the  
candidate  

for  the religious life  will  know  be- 

forehand the  whole  extent of the duties which  
the  

company  of Jesus dictates  to  its members;  
he  

must  and  will  know  what  the Spirit is,  
which  

is  to  animate it  in  all  its  truths,  free,  

he  will  make  his decision."  

"Then  comes what  we  cal1  the  Regence,  

or the  teaching  of  the classes  in  college.  It  

is  so  arranged  that the  young  professor,  com- 

mencing  by  a  class  of  grammar,  rises  
suc- 

cessively,  and  goes  through  all  the  degrees  
of the  professorship  

one  after another.  Five  
or  

six  years  pass  thus  in  the  cour11e  of  Re  ·  
gence.  

There  is  in  this,  great  util~ty  for  

one·s  self  and  devotion  for  others;  while  

learning  much  one  fulfils  the  duties  of  an  

assiduous  zeal  towards  
youth,  which  is  so  

worthy of  it,  and  in  the functions  which  de- 

mand  the  most."  
"About  

the age of  28  or  30,  the religious  
is sent  

to  theology.  This  study,  
with  that  

\If  the  lloly  Scriptures,  of  canon  law,  of  
ecclesiastical  history,  

and  of  oriental  lan- 
guages,  

occupies  four  years,  or  evP.n  six.- 

The  priesthood  is  not  conferred until the  end  

of  the  theological  studies."  

"After  eaph  year  of  this  long course of  
studies, a severe  examination  

is  undergone.  

A  II  the  studies  finished, those  
who  have  up  

to  that time succeeded  
in  the annual  exami- 

nations, undergo a general  
one  on  the  whole  

of the  philosophical,  physical,  
and  theologi- 

cal scenes.  To  have  gained three favorable  
votes  

out  of  four  in  this last  examination, is  

one  of  the  necessary  conditions  
for  being  
admitted  

to  the profession."  p.  74.  

• Let  every  one  be  well  convinced that  in  

living\mder  the  law  of  obedience,  one  ought  

sincerely  to  allow  oue's  self  to  be  carried,  

ruled,  placed, displaced,  by  the Divine  provi- 

dence  through  the  mean.s  f!f  the  superiors,  

JUST  AS  IF  ONE  WERE  A  CORPSE;  or  further,  

like  the staff  which  an old  man  holds  

i11  his  
hand,  

and  which  serves  him  as  he  pleases.- 

Thus,  the  religious  obeying,  accomplishes  
with joy that with which  

he  is  charged  by  

the superior  for  the  common  good;  certain  

by  this  means  nf  corresponding  truly  with  
the divine  

will  !  '"  

"Are  you  ready,"  he  is  asked,  "to  re- 

nounce the  world  and  all  po!lsessions,  as  well  

as  all  hope  of  worldly  goods  t  Are  you  

ready  to  beg,  if  need  be,  your  bread  from  

door  to  door  for  the love of  Jesus  Christ  1- 

Yes."  

"Are  you  disposed  to  live  in  whatever  
country  

of  the world,  'llnd  in  whatever  em- 

ploy,  the superior shall judge that  
you  will  be  

more  useful  for  the  greater  glory of  God,  
and the salvation of  

souls  1- Yes."  

"Are  yon  resolved  to  obey  the  superiors,  

who hold  to  you  the  place  of  God,  in  all  

things  in  which  you  shall  not  judge  your  
conscience  

wounded  by  sin  1- Yes."  

"Do  you  feel  yourself  ienerously  deter- 

mined  to  reject with horror,  and  without  ex- 

ception, all  that  men,  slaves  of the  preju·  

dices of  the  world  luve  and  embraee;  and  

will  you  acc,pt  and  detir•  witb  all  your  
powers, what  

.f  esus  Christ  0111r  Lord  loved  

and  embraced  1- Yes."  
"  

Do  you  consent  to  clothe  yourself  with  

the  livery of  ignominy  which  he  bore,  to  su  f- 

fer like  him  out  of love  and  respect  for  him,  
reproaches,  false  testimonies,  

and  injuries,  
although  

you  have  given  no  occasion  for  

them  1- Yes.''  
Reader,  

mark  here the  one  great idea kept  

up;  perfect  obedience  to  the  will  of  the  su- 

perior.  An  acceptance  of  the  superior as  
God.  

A  consent  that  the superiors  hold  to  

him  the  place  of  God  ! ! ! .  And  then ask  

him  if  he  will  obey  them  in  all  things  in  

.  which  he  shall  not  judge  his  conscience  

wounded  by  sin  !  How  can  he  so  judge,  if  

that  superior holds the  place  of  
God  1  Is  

obedience  to  God,  sin  1  But  more  of  this  
blind; dead  obedience  

in  its  place.  Next  

comes- 

"THI  NOTICIATI."  

Mark  well  this  bold  step.  P.  67.  "  The  

Novice  will  pass  two  years  in  a  profound  re- 

treat;  he  will  have  this  time  for  reflection,  
and  

this  time  is  necessary  before  binding  

himself  by  irrevocable  engagements.  
The  

moral trials  he  must undergo are great.  
Ac- 
cordingly  

his  determination, after  
two  years  

of  aoviciate, will  be  free!  enlightened,  
and  

COUta(l&OUS."  

"During  this same space of time,  
all  study  

is  forbidden  him."  

THIRD  YEAR  OF  PROBATION,  OR  LAST  PROOF  

BEFORE  THE  EXERCISE  OF  THE  HOLY  MIN·  

ISTRV.  

P.  77.  "Let  me  be  allowed  to  say, here  

is  the  chef-d'auvre  of  St.  Ignatills.  The  

man  who 'm he destines  for  the apostolic  min- 

istry,  has  passed  11s  a  novice  two  years of  
recollection  

and  silence;  since that have  
fol- 

lowed  nine  years of  study,  and  five  or  si~  of  
teaching;  

he  has  just  been  ordained  priest,  

and  he  bas  not  vet  fulfilled  the  functions  of  
the  priesthood  ;  -most  usually  

he  is  33  years  
of  

age;  15  or  16  years  of  the  religiuus  life  

have  paseed  him  :  the  religious, tbe  prtest,  

re-enters  the  novicil)te.  He  is  abo~  to  re- 

nounce again  for  a  whole  year,  all  study  and  

every external  relation."  

"At  that  time  the  great  r.areer  of  the  
(Spiritual) Exercises  

which  lasted  a  month,  

is  gone through again;  at  
that  time prayer  

and  meditation are  prolonged  ;  the  
spirit  of  
the  

instit11te,  the  condition~  of  the  apostolate,  
poverty,  

sutrering,  obedience,  all  that consti- 
tutes  the  duties  of  the  religious,  

is  anew  
studied  

and  explored."  

"After  the  revolution of  the year! the su- 

periors  infurm  themselves  religi?usly  of the  
advances  

made  in  virrue  and  knowledge,  and  

according  to  the judgment  which  the Father  
General  himself  forms,  

on  the  strength  of  
the information transmitted, the degree  

(gra- 
dus)  

is given.  That  is  to  say,  in  plain  terms,  

that  one  is  permitted  to  pronounce the last  

vows  of  Spiritual  Coadjutor,  
or  of  Professed.  

For  there are  these  
two  cla15ses  of  religiuus  

amon~  us.  The  \IDe  and  the other are  equal  

in  everything."  "Thus,  after the  two  years  
of  the  

first  uoviciate,  orne  the  three  vows  

of  religion, simple,  
but  perpetual;  after  fif.  

teen or seventeen  years  of studies  and  proofs,  
after a third year of  noviciate,  

come  the  sol- 

emn  vows  of  a  Professed,  or  the  last  vows  

of  a  Coadjutm-."  Such  is  the  mould  in  

which every Jesuit  is cast.  

Such  is the  

im 'pression  which  a  training  
of  

from  seventeen  to  twenty  years  seeks  
to  

make  on  the  mind  of  every Jesuit.  
Another illustration  

from  Father Ravignan,  

p.  112.  "Soldier,  thou  shah  go  and  place  

thyself  at·the  head of that  ~ridge;  thou shalt  

remaiq  there,  we  shall  pas~,  thou  wi , lt  die.- 

y es,  my  general."  " Such is  
the  obedi~nce  

of  war."  
"To-morrow  

you  will  go  for  China;  per- 

secution  awaits  you  there,  perhaps  martyr- 

dom.- Yea,  my  father."  "Such  is  the.  obe- 

dience  demanded  of  the  Jesuit."  
Nor  

are the  foregoing sentiments  
on  obe- 

dience,  from  the  pen  of  Loyula,  "  images  
accidentally  

dropped,"  they  are  his  unalter~  

able  and  dying  sentiments;  so  that  when  be  

thought  his  end  near,  he  said  to  his  attend·  

ant,  "  write;  I.  desire  the  company  should

"His  (Loyola's) discjples, even the  great  
Francis  Xavier,  never wrote  

to  hirn  except  

on  their knees;  for  having dared  to  address  

to  him  an  objection  on  a  point  of  detail,  
Laynez, the

GOVERNMENT  OF  THE  SOCIETY.  

The  general  ·of  the  order,  resident  at  
Rome,  

is  the  depository of  power.  
"  He  
exercises it  

•  •  only  in  accordance with  the  
great Catholic law, that  

is  to  say,  in  the  most  

perfect  depenqence  yo  the  Vicar  of  Jesus  

Christ, the supreme  
head of  the  church."- 

Ravignan,  p.  85.  

"  'When  there  is  occasion  to  name  a  Gene- 

ral, the society  meets  in  provincial congrega- 

tions;  i.  e.,  in  every  province  of  the  
com- 

pany,  t~e  professed  and  certain  superiors  
are  convoked  

and  meet  together.  The  
provincial father,  

and  two  professed chosen  

by  the  provincial congregation  
go  to  Rome  

to  compose  the  general  congregation."-

Bro.  L1TcH  writes  from  Shiremanstown,  

Pa .,  Aug.  3d,  1846:- 

Our  grove-meeting  in  this  place has  just  

closed.  It  has  beeu  a season  of  refreshing  

to the  waiting  pe'ople  of God,  and  of instruc- 

tion  and  awakening  to  many  who  are  out  of  

the ark of safety.  
Owing  to  varipus  circum- 

stances,  the first part of the meeting  
was  not  

so  fully  attended  as  we  could  wish,  but  still,  

the  Lord  was  with  us  ;  the  latter  part  'of  the  

time, however,  our  congregations  were large,  

and  deeply attentive  to  the  word  ;  and  so  fiu  ·  

as  I  can  judge,  the  word  n6Yer  made  deeper  

impres!!ion  than  now.  Sev~ral  seemed  deeply  

affected  and  penitent  before God,  
and  I  trust  

will  not  rest  till  they  find  the  Savior.  May  

the Lord water \be seed  
sown,  and  it  be  ' ga- 

thered  afl~r  many  days.  

LETTII:R  FROM  Bao.  E.  C.tNPILED.  

"  The  energetic  and  prudent  legislator,  
(Loyola,)  

bas  wished  to  create  in  some  sort  

a  new  medium,  and  a  whole  new  existence.  
In  the long education of  

his  novices,  and  in  

the  absence even  of  study,  he  has  intended,  

says  he,  to  prepare the better  foundation  for  

the  atudies  themselvea,  that  is  to  say, hu- 

mility and all solid  
virtues."  For  two  years,  
then,  

io  profound  retirement the  mind  is  left  
to prey  

upon  itself,  with  no  bible  or  other  

book  to  guide it.  It  is, that  he  may  die  ; die  
to all outward  

objeeta,  and  become  absorbed  

in  the  eoeiety-diveat  himself  
of  his  own  

identity,  and  only  be  identified  in  the order  

of  Jesuite.  

After  such  a training  by  masters  of  con- 

summate  skill,  separated  from  all  worldly  as- 

sociations and  intere11ts-\Vitb  the  most  sol- 

emn  vows  binding  upon  them  to  renounce,  

and  never to  inherit  or  
po88eaa  property- 

sworn  to  a single  life-Qbliged  by  oath  to  the  

most  unqualified  submission  to  the  Roman  

pontiff,  and  all  the  order11  of the euperiors,  
the identity of  the  

man  and  Christian  is  lost  

in  that  of  the  body  to  which  he  has  surren- 

"  All  the  superiors,  all  members of  the  

company, are  subjPct  to  the  general,  and  

must  obey  Aim."-lbid.  p. 86.  

The  appointment  of  the general  is  for  life,  
that  of  provincial  and  other  superiors  

for  

three  years,  subject  to  re - appointment.  

Dear  Bro.  Bliss  :-I  was  glad  to  learn  
that  

an  ell'tra  "Herald"  · is  to  be  issued,  

bringing  to  view  those  important  truths  
whieh  

enry  Vhristan  should  regard  with  

the  deepest  interest.  The  extent  
to  which  

those  truths are  neglected, essential as  

they  

are,  to  the  vitality  of  the  Christian system,  
is  deplorable.  The  

result  of  such  neglect  

upon  Christian  character,  cannot  but  
be  

deprecated  by  those  who  appreciate the  im- 

portance of  giving  heed  
to  all  that  God  

has  spoken  for  our  benefit.-To  refuse  to  

listen  to  any  part  of  his  counsel-to  turn  

away  from  his  instructions  on  any  point  of  

tru~h  or  duty,  shows  a  disregard  of  
him,  

which  most  result  in  a  loss  of  that blessing  

which  he  sheds  on  the  soul  which  acquiesces  

and  rejoices  in  all  his  bleaaed  will.·  To  know  

and  clo  the  will  of  God  should  be  our  con- 

stant  aini.  To  diffuse  a  knowledge of  that  

wiD  is  both  a privilege  and  duty-a  blessed  

work  in  whieh  to  be  enpged.  Who  that  

lovea  the  Savior  would  not  wish  to  bear a  

lnlmble  part  in  so  noble  an  enterprise,  and  be  

rewarded  in  the  day  of  accouut,  'with the  i

I  spoke  on  Thursday  evening  at  South- 

bridge  to  a  full  house  of attentive  hearers,  

who  appeared  to  listen  with  interest  to  the  
evidences of our  

hope.  Though  the  number  
of  the  brethren  

is  small, yet  they  seem  not  

to  be  disheartened.  And  while they trust  in  

God, they cannot  fail  to  triumph.  

hopiAg  they  may  be  the  instrument  of making  

one  of  him.  The  state  of true  religion  in  

this country is truly alarming;  we  have  many

and  meetings,  but  it  is  death,-

I  also  spoke  one  evening  at  Holland,  in

I  have  preached  near  twenty  sermons  at

hope  will  profit  the cause  

in  that  place.  Last  Lord's  day  I  closed  my  

labors  with  them,  preparatory  to  my  Canada

of  

the  morning  di~course,  we  repaired  to  the

and  in  the  presence of  a large  assem- 

bly,  I  baptizeJ  two  happy  believers.  They  
were very  

much  strengthened  and  blest  in  

obeying their Lord  and  Savior.  At  tile  close  
of  the second  discourse,  about  

one  hqodred  

precious souls came  around  the  table of the

The  coming of  Christ  has  beet\  one  of the  
subjects  

which  have occupied  my  mind  very  

much  for  several  years  past.  That  we  are  
rapidly approaching a crisis  

in  the  history of  
this  

world,  significant  of interest  to  the saints  
dwelling  

on  the earth,  I  fully  and  fimHy ' be- 

lieve.  While  I  may  differ  from  you  in  the  

time  for  the establishment of  the  kingdom  of  

God  on  earth,  the  fact  itself  we  agree  in.- 

T!l.ex~sition ·of  tlte  pro(}hetio  numlHfft  and  

some  of the prophecies  as  has  appeared,  I  do  

regard as illegitimate.  For  my  own  part, I  

feel  confident  that  the  2300  days or years  uf  

Daniel  commenced  457  . B.  C.,  and  conse- 

quently are ended.  I  have seen Bro. Hale's  
argument  

on  the prophetic numbers,  and  can- 

not  discover any reason  to  change  and  adopt  

his  reasoning, because it  is  not  sound.  In  

quuting  from  Josephus  he  does  not  seem  to  

be  aware  of  having  done  him  injustice,  yet  

· he  has  done  so.  I  do  not  mention  this  for  

the  purpose of  finding  fault, or  to  throw  ob- 

stacles  in  the  way  of  the  coming  of  Christ  

in  '47,  yet  I  cannot  see  any  evidence  that  
the  

Sa·lior  will  come  at that  time.  It  seems  

to  me  that there  will  not  be  so  great a falling  

off  from  the Adventists  after  '47,  as  there  

was  in  '44;  although  the  course  of  some  

might  lead  me  to  suspect  that  they  antici- 

pated  a rich harvest.

CHILD  writes  from  Providence,  
August  

3d,  1846  :- 

We  have  not  obtained  a  preacher  yet.  
The  interest here  is  

good,  and  ·our  meetings  

well  attended,  when  we  have regular  preach- 

ing, otherwise  but  few  cume out.  
Dear  brother,  

do  your  utmost to awaken  
saint  

and  sinners  ;  there  is  need  enough  of  
awaking  

to  diligence  and  labor  f<tr  God.  

My  soul  sickens  at the thought of the state  
of Christianity  

in  this city.  I  speak  of  others  
besides Adventists.  

It  is  acknowledged  by  

all  that  Christianity  is  at  a  low  ebb  here.  
Said  

one  of our  greatest  temporal  millennia!  
preachers  last  Sabbath,  

"The  science  of  
Theology  

is  on  the  advance,  but  practical  

Christianity)s  on 'the retrograde."  

One  acknowledged  to  me  that  he believed  
that the  Advent  doctrine  

had  kept  the truth  
before  the  churches.  Death  

prevailR  over  
ministers, laymen,  

and  sinners.  Thoughtful  
men's hearts are  failing them  

for  fear.  But  
they wander  

as  blind  men.  Would  that  they  

might  see the  truth.  

Bro.  Bliss:- The  "  Herald"  still  comes  

to  me,  bringing  many  good  things,  and  I  wish  

to  have it continued,  and  also vou should  re- 

ceive your  just  

due;  

for  this  imd  I  enclose  

you  one  dollar.  I  intend,  by  God's  help,  to  

obey  the  injunction,"  Owe  no  man  anything."  

I  think  all  who  feel  any  interest  in  the  con- 

tinuance of the  " Herllld,  ''  wiil  not  withhold  

the  small  pittance of  one  dollar,  when  -due.  

However,  I  have heard  of  those  who  say  
their faith  

in  the speedy coming of  the  Mas- 

ter  was  never  more  lively,  that  they  never  

had  so  realizin . ~  a  st>nse  of  the coming  _of  

that  One  who  will  render  &o  all  according  to  

their works,  who  draw  the  conclusion  from  

this  awful  truth,  that  it  is  of  no  importance  
whether they  

pay  their  just  debts  or . not,- 

time, say they, is  so  short.  It  appears  to  

me  persons  who  thus  talk  and  act, are either  

very  lazy, or  extravag~nt;  and  I  am  inclined  

to  think dishonest.  However  this  may  be,  I  Bro.  W.  A.  FAY  writes  from  Somonauk,

:- '  
Dear  

Bro.  Bliss  :-It  is  with most  heart- 

felt  gratitude  that I  reflect  on  the kindness  
of the  proprietors of  the Herald,  

in  furnish-.  

ing  those  who  are  poor  and  unable  to  pay  

with  it gratis.  Its  influence  on  my  soul  has  

been  powerful.  'Often,  in  a desponding hour,  

have  I  taken  up  the  Herald,  and  from  its  

columns  received  consol&tion  and  comfort;  it  

has  led  my  mind  from  earth  tv  heaven,  from  

the  trials

the  conflict-s,  the  temptations, the  
tribulations,  

and  sorrows  of  earth,  to  that

The  number  of those  who  are  lookina  for  the  
return of  the

We  are looking  with  great  interest  to  the  
present season, as the  time  

for  the  consum- 

mat,ion  of  the  Christian's  hope;  but should  
the
