We have seen so many tried public servants proved faithless, that an honest man would be a curiosity, and by 111111y would be considered a fool. For the last ten years, we have certainly ad- ftlleed backward with fearful strides, and who will lenture to say where or when this state of thiup will end ? The seeds of dissolution are ripe amongst us, and nothing but the merciful in- terposion of an Almighty and overruling Provi- dence can protect and prosper us.

That Mr. C. was to preach this sermon was previously announced in the papers, but we did not learn the fact so as to be present.

The foliowiog frank explanation of the " Ober- hn Evangelist," is Christian-like, and honorable to the conductors of that paper. . It fully atones f~r the wrong impression made, a few weeks •!Dee, by the "Evangdist," in noticing the delu- llODa of certain misguided ones, who have gone out from among ua, to their own disgrace, and we fear, ruin. We see, however, that the Evangelist is still la~oring under a mistake, relative to the doc- trine of " impulses " being " somewhat preva- lent among Second Advent believers." We readily admit that this statement is true of cer- tain individuals among us ; but their small num- ber is, we believe, on the rapid decrease. The doctrine prevalent among us, on this point, is to be led by no other guide than the plain word of the Lord, the Bible. The doctrine of impulses we consider the foundation of all delusion, and the grossest licentiousness. ~he following is the "Evangelist's" "expla- nataon."-Voice of Truth. " We learn from ' The Voice of Truth,' that our recent article on ' Second Advent People,' as understood to imply that all, or at least most of those who have been called .' ~econd Advent people,' have run into the fanat- IClillll there alluded to. We intended, to make no such implication. We only said-• we know or some ' who hold or act thus and thus ;-we hear or such and such localities, &c. We knew, and meant to leave the impression that all had not embraced these new forms of delusion. It Would have been well if we had made this point more distinct and specific. Far be it from us to do ~n~usti~e to those who are exempt from the fa- nabcwn m question.

There is an obscurity in this passage, produced by an improper rendeting of the Hebrew words, " ailleh-weailleh." They are translated in this instance, '' some-and some.'' Now, the phrase, composed of the pronoun ailleh, with the conjunction wau (and), joined to ailleh, is the proper expression for these and those. The id.ea of some, or a part of a thing, is usually expressed in Hebrew by the preposition 1nin (or the consonant mem-alone), from. Thus, to express, accord- ing to the idiom of that language, such an English phrase as "He took some silver," it wo,Ild be, " He took from silver." This pro- noun is plural. In a simpler form, ail, it is found only in the Pentateuch, and 1 Chron. 20:8; The words should be translated thus :-"And many from the sleepers of the dust ~f the ground shall awake, these to everlasting life, and those to reproaehes and everlasting abhorrence." ~otttsp on~tnct. "Tht: Conversion of the World." There is an article in " Zion's Herald " of May 13th, bearing the title above. I wish to prove all things, and hold fast that whi~ is good. I know of no other way to get truth, but to bring ·an doctrines to the touch- stone, and try them. If they stand the Scripture· test, embrace them; if not, rt>ject them. I wish to make the " Herald " a me- dium of a few comments on the texts of Scripture quoted to prove that the Bible promises this great work iri this dispensation. We are referred to ten passages to prove the position. The first is the old stereotyped one in Ps. 2:8 : "Ask of me, and I will giv& thee the heathen for thine inheritance, ahd the uttermost parts of the earth for thy pos- se!>sion." The connection is left out of co1m~e, for it does not sound well, if we wish to prove the conversion of the world, to have this explanation: v,. 9-" Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron : thou shalt dash them tu piecet~ like a potter's vessel." This taken in connection, would seem to teach anything but ,th~ir conversion; By what rule of interpretation do men make "dashing to pieces," a conversion 1 It would be as consistent ior me to say the Savior would convert the devil, because he has promised to "bruise his head," as for any one to say the Lord will convert the world, because he has said he will " dash the nations to pieces like a potter's vessel." We are next referred to Ps. 64:9-" And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God : for they shall wisely consider of his doings." " All men shall fear." Fear what 1 It does not say whether they shall fear God, or his judgments. This can easily be decided, and the text put in its true light, by enquiring, When do •· all fear 1 " Ans . v. 7-" God shall shoot at the wicked with an arrow: suddenly shall they be wounded." v. 8. " So shall they" make their own tongue to fall upon themselves. All that see them shall flee awav." What! does God shoot, or reward the wicked for persecuti~g the saints before the judgment 1 Certainly not. When will the tongue uf the wicked fall upon themselves 1 Not till every man is judged out of his own mouth. Luke 19 : 22. When do all flee away 1 Let the prophet Isaiah answer (24 : 17, 18) : " Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, 0 inhabit- ant of the earth. And it ehall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake." Who would think of applying the text, when read in its connection, to the world's conversion 1 To apply it this side of the C1lming of our Kir•g to judgment, say- ing nothing about the power of God, men greatly err, not knowing the Scriptures . I may be met by the objector, that "All that fear, declare the work of God;" and that this they would not do, unless they were all converted, and possessed filiai fear We will not be too hasty in drawing our conclu- sions, till we look ai it in the li~?ht of Scrip- ture. In Rom. 14 : 11, we find a passage that Paul quotes from lsa. 45:23, to prove a general judgment: viz.,'' As I live, aaith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and evtlry tongue shall confess to God." If the wicked all then bow, and confess, will they not de- clare God's wonderful works, ae well as their a.bhorrence of sin~ Does this confes~ion horring unto all flesh.'' If this has reference amount to anything towards savin~r them·, at. to a _future state, and it appears by its con- this time~ Indeed it does not. This Scrip- nectwn that it has, it must be when the ture ere this, in Isaiah, would have been wicked are rt'!ceiving their punishment at\er brought forward to prove a millennium, no the resurrection. This view is confirmed by doubt, if Paul had not interfered and spoilt our Sav~or's using this language to represent the inference. In Rev. 11:13, we read when the pumshment of the wicked in the world judgment comes, "A remnant were affrighted, to come. Mark 9:44. 1 f it is before the res- and gave glory to the God of heaven."

If Paul believed in the world's conversion, he must have been very absent minded not to allude to it. Yet he was so confident that he preached the truth, and the whole truth, that he says, "If any man or angel from heaven preach any other gospel, let him be accursed." James was ignorant of such a doctrine. He does not mention it, but is very particular to dirAct the minds of the brethren, when oppressed, defrauded, and condemned, to our Savior's return; and he exhorted them to "be patient unto the com- ing of the Lord." Peter expressly declares that in the "last days" scoffers should come, saying, We see no'' promise" of the " Lord's coming;" "all things continue as they were from the creation." But he passes over any time when all .are to be convert~d, and reign a thousand years before that day.-{To be continued.)-------- I feel as do many of the brethren, that the Herald, next to the word of God, is a treasure that I prize very much for these reasons : first, through this I can hear from those who are of like precious faith ; and second, in this I can se& the great fundamen- tal truth of God's word brought to light. The truths which prophets and apostles loved to dwell upon, for this was their meat and their drink, which made the thorny paths of life passable. Yes, the blessed hope enabled them to look f(>rward to the time when Jesus whom they loved should be re- vealed from heaven, and the living changed, not from unholiness to holiness, but from mortal to immortality. And they that sleep in Jesus shall rise, c&rruption shall then put on incorruption. Feeling as I do, that we are living in the time when all these great things are to be realized, yea', when Dan- iel and John, and all the old patriarchs, will in their flesh see their Hedeemer, how ought we to lift up our heads, for our redemp- tion draweth nigh. Sin is soon to be des- troyed, and Satan will no longer rule and reign, but he whose right it is to reign, will come and will not tarry. He will be a Jdng, and we shall be his children, if we love him and love his appearing. 0BITUARV.-Died in South Wilbraham, Mass., on Sunday. the 21st inst., Mrs. Sarah M.

St. John's, Newfoundland, suffered severely from fire during the three successive years 1816, 1817, and 1818. On the first occasion 130 hou1es were burned, the pecuniary loss amounting to upwards of £100,000, and 1500 persons driven to seek for habitations -Quebec Gaz. 24th ult. There has, no doubt, been a very destructive fire at St. John's, but we think the loss of life and property very much exaggerated. Our pre- vious accounts from Newfoundland were to the 7th ult., received by the way of Halifax, which were received there on the 15th, by the mail boat. The fire, it is said, took place on the 9th inst., two days after.

LITCll Melancholy Shipwreck and Loss of Life -A letter dated Atlantic House, Newport,R. I., 27th ult., 9 A. M., states that the brig "Sattelite" ~no doubt the British brig Sutlej, Capt. Graham,) which cleared, at Pictou, N. S. lOth inst., for Fall River, with a cargo of coal and 60 passen- gers on board, struck on the rocks named the " Hens and Chickens" about 3 o'clock on the morning of the 27th inst., and twenty minutes afterwards sunk. Thirty persons are said to have been drowned. A fishing schooner arrived at Newport having 16 dead bodies on board, all women and children, and several others int~ensi­ ble. The writer of the letter says-" I have the above information from the Captain of the schooner, and I saw the dead bodies on board. The officers and crew of the brig were all saved.''

It is contained in 11 neat JlamJlhlet of 36 pages. It is published by Bro.

Young, at this port from Mobile, that she was boarded by a Mexican privateer, and on ascer- taining she was a British vessel, was permitted to proceed unmolested. The captain of the Telegraph also states that the privateer had two American vessels as prizes." . .Mo1·e Trouble at Nauvoo.-According to a long article in the Louisville Journal of the 20th ult., there is reason to apprehend serious trouble at Nauvoo. A large armed force, consisting of some four hundred anti-Mormons, had gathered in the neighborhood of that city, and were ex- pected to advance against it. They would be opposed by the citizens of Nauvoo, consisting of Mormons, and others, who had recently taken up their abode at Nauvoo. The defenders could muster a body of 300 men, and it is not unlikely that ere this, a terrible collision has taken place between the two parties. Fire and Riots.-The alarm of fire last night about half past 9 o'clock was caused by the burning of a stahl~ and carriage house on the premises of Mr. John S. Rouse, in the suburbs of the city. The buildings were entirely· consumed, together with a quantity of hay. No insurance. On returning from the fire, a number of persons, either attached to or following the engine com- panies, engaged in a most disgraceful rioting, which was continued in dift"erent points in Lex- ington, Howard, Eutaw, and Fayette streets, un- til an early hour this morning. Pistols were fired, stones and brickbats thrown, together with missiles of various deacript.ions. One man was shot through the arm, others suffered severely. -Balt.Pat., Fatal .llccident.-A lad, son of Mr. Joseph Naylor, of Abingdon township, Montgomery county, was employed a few days since to set up corn after the plough, and while on his way to a neighbor's barn, attempted to mount the plough horse to ride. He failed and fell, his foot becom- ing entangled in the gears, and the horse being frightened, dashed off at full speed, dragging him after him. The animal leaped several fences be- fore he waa stopped, and when the poor boy was released he was found to be so dreadfully bruised and torn, that he survived only a few moments.- U. S. Gazette.

But this pel'secution for conscience sake, instead of diminishing the interest of the people in the instructions of the missionaries, has greatly increased it ; their houses are the resort of multitudes for religious mstruction,and their public meetings were never more fully attended." Unprecedented Demand for Bibles.-It is a remarkable fact, that an extraordinary de- mand for Bibles has recently sprung up in the principal towns of Lancashire and York- shire, England. It first made its appearance in Manchester a short time ago, and from letters received from that town within the last few days, we learn that the " run" upon the depository of the Bible Society in Man- chester still continues. A thousand copies of the Holy Scriptures are frequently sold in ohe day to the working classes.
