Semi-Annual Report of beisir 
OF THE TREASURER OF THE A. M. ASSOCIATION. 
TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE : 
Dear Brethren-The Constitution of our As-
sociation requires only an annual report from the 
Treasurer-for each fiscal year, ending July 1. 
Frequent exhibitions of the financial condition 
of any agency, are, however, conducive to con-
tinued confidence; and an instrumentality, fes-
tered by the charities of its friends, cannot be 
too frequently or specifically reported, so that its 
patrons may know its actual necessities, and the 
precise disposition that is made of their gifts. 
During the six months, ending with the year 
1859, the receipts and expenditures of the office 
were as follows : 
RECEIPTS.

2. From sale of books

Paid the small balance due last July 
to sundry persons on account 
There was included in the foregoing 
receipts a few small accounts, from sundry 
agents, which would be paid soon after new 
year's, and are so included 
Sundry orders on the Boston Advent 
Association, which will be good on the de-
claration of a dividend there, have been re-
60.40 
ceived as cash 
Paid bill of Grant, Warren & Co. for 
paper, to be used in 1860,which will there-
fore come into the Expense account of the 181.00 
next report, and so counts as cash here 
Cash on hand Jan. 1, 1860, �342.35 
$2981.21 
The expense account of the last six months 
does not include the rent of office $75, from July 
to January ; which was paid before July, and 
included in expense account of the last annual 
report ; as was also paper then on hand to the 
amount of $73.50, which was used since July ; 
so that the actual expenses of the office for the 
last half year have amounted to $2100.39. And 
the expenses for the entire year have been 
$4323.12 ; which is $200.22 more than 
was received from subscribers to the Herald du-
ring the same period-showing the necessity of 
more subscribers. 
The cash on hand, July 1st, was money paid 
in advance from subscribers, and on which the 
office relied to meet its bills during the several 
months following, when its expenses averaged 
about $100 a month more than its receipts; and 
which would not have sufficed till new-year's, 
had not the generous hearted friends of the office 
so efficiently exerted themselves for the replen-
ishment of our Treasury. Also the money now 
on hand, paid by subscribers just before the close 
of the last year, and now being paid, must be re-
lied on to meet the dearth of receipts in the 
months of April and May. 
For the office to be in a whole condition, it 
should not be indebted a penny ; and the cash 
on hand at any time should equal the full amount 
of money paid in advance by subscribers for 
Heralds, still to be supplied to them. This is 
the condition to which we are trying, by the aid 
of its patrons, to bring the office; and to which 
we expect it will soon approximate. In addition 
to the Cash receipts, as acknowledged above, we 
have received a donation from Messrs. Grant, 
Warren & Co.-the firm that supplies the Her-
ald office with paper-of fbur shares of stock in 
the Chapel, �
200.00 
And Bro. J. Ferdinand Guild donated 1 
share to constitute Rev. R. H. Conklin of 
Providence, R. I., and Rev. Horace Bun-
dy of Springfield, Vt., Life Members of 
the A.M.A. �
50.00 
Total, �
250.00 
To which add the shares before owned, 650.00 
$900.00 
The Association was offered a donation of one 
share in the chapel, on the condition of its pur-
chase of another,-making $50 that the A.M.A. 
would pay for the two shares ; and the Treasurer 
was authorized to do this at the last annual meet-
ing ; but the expenses so exceeded the receipts, 
between July and December, that he has not thus 
far felt justified in making the expenditure. 
The following is the present estimated Finan-
cial condition of the Association :

tributed at camp-meeting, $2.50, and 100 
Heralds of the week following, containing 
his letter from Exeter, $2.50. There has 
been no charge made of these, but only a 
memorandum of their number and value, 
which awaits the action of the Committee. 
It is recommended that the foregoing ac-

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
That the earth renewed will be the saints' in-
heritance. 
That the Scriptures do not teach the world's 
conversion. 
That the Scriptures do not reveal the specific 
time of Christ's second coming, but do reveal 
events intimately connected with it,—making it 
the privilege and duty of the church to know 
when the advent is near. 
That the great object of the Christian's hope 
is the Second Personal Advent of the Lord Je-
sus Christ. 
On all other doctrines the church conform to 
those usually designated evangelical."—History 
of Newburyport. 
My prayer is that this plant of the Lord's 
right hand planting, may continue to grow, and 
to spread a heavenly fragrance, till the great 
Husbandman shall transplant his choice vines, 
into the permament soil, prepared for them. 
R. H. 
them seems to offer violence to the text"—Rev. 
20th. Not the martyrs only, but all the saints 
will rise. " Many dissenters do grant they were 
dead, the words are so plain and cogent, and with-
al they grant it cannot be meant of a spiritual 
death and resurrection, because they were mar-
tyrs and converts before," pp. 6-7. 
It is worthy of observation that Dr. Prideaux, 
who was himself an anti-millenarian confirms 
this statement of Cheever's respecting the Eng-
lish dissenters of the 17th century, viz, that they 
held Rev. 20:4-6 to teach a bodily resurrection. 
(See Brooks' Elem. Proph. Int. Chap. 3d) 
These saints, continues Cheever, will reign 
with Christ here on earth." His entire argu-
ment on this head is masterly and convincing, and 
be decently buried in a decent manner, according 
to my desire, in hope of a blessed•part in ye first 
resurrection and glorious kingdom of Christ on 
earth a thousand years." 
" Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring Hope !" 
[Cheever's rare prophetical Es;ay was re-print-
ed entire in the Advent Heralds of May 22 and 
29, 1858.]

A Postscript. 
Bro. Bliss : The following are some extracts 
which I had mislaid, at the time I wrote you a 
little account of my visit to Newburyport. While 
the former shows that Whitefield has a place in 
the history of that city, the latter shows that the 
" Second Advent Church" is deemed of sufficient 
importance to have a place in the same history. 
" Rev. George Whitefield. He preached for 
the first time in Newbury (now Newburyport,) 
September 30th 1740—then a young man about 
twenty-six years of age. . . Having made a brief 
visit to the district bf Maine, he returned here, 
and preached again, with his usual extraordina 
ry effect; and from this time forward, made fre-
quent, and several lengthy visits to Newbury-
port. The week previous to his death, he preach-
ed four times in Portsmouth, N. H., and on the 
Saturday afternoon at Exeter, and then rode to 
Newburyport, where he expected to preach on 
the Sabbath. But it was ordered otherwise. His 
violent exertions brought on a paroxysm of asth-
ma, a complaint to which he was subject, and he 
died early on the ensuing Sabbath morning, Sep-
tember 30th, 1770—just thirty years from the 
date of his first visit to the town. 
The house where he died is situated on the 
lower side of School Street, the second from the 
church, where his tomb was built, and his bones 
still rest : They being placed in a vault under 
the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church, in 
which he had usually preached when in town, and 
which was mainly brought into existence through 
his influence. 
Mr. Whitefield's friends in England were ex-
ceedingly anxious that his remains should be re- 
turned to his native place for interment, and 
some years subsequent, an individual having vis-
ited his tomb, abstracted from his coffin the bones 
of the right arm, which has since caused his re- 
mains to be guarded with the strictest vigilance. 
In September, 1849, the pastor of the First Pres-
byterian churc , Rev. Jonathan Stearns, receiv-
ed from England a mysterious box, which on 
opening he found to contain the lost members, 
accompanied by a letter, satisfactorily explain-
ing how they came into the writer's possession, 
and vindicating the genuineness of the restoration. 
In the presence of the sexton and Elders of the 
church, the stray bones were restored to their 
proper place in the coffin ; from which there is 
little chance of their again escaping."—History 
of Newburyport. 
I was told that one of Whitefield's bones is 
supposed to be in the office of an eminent physi-
cian in Boston. Well, bone will come to its bone, 
and the whole body be restored, in all which con-
stitutes its true identity when He whom White-
field ardently loved and zealously proclaimed, 
shall be fully manifested as " the resurrection 
and the life." 
" SECOND ADVENT CHURCH. Organized De-
cember, 1848, under the pastoral care of Elder 
John Pearson, Jr. 
The origin of this church may be traced to the 
winter of 1841-2, when the doctrine of the speedy 
Second Advent of Christ was preached here by 
the Rev. Charles Fitch, Miller, and others. A 
considerable number of persons embraced the 
views presented and united for the purpose of 
public worship, and their meetings were sustain-
ed until the latter part of the year 1844 ; at 
which time, in consequence of the passing of the 
specific date for the fulfilment of the great event 
for which they looked, and other adventitious 
circumstances, their meetings were discontinued; 
but in 1848 they were re-united, and have 
since maintained a distinct church organization. 
Connected with the church is a Sabbath school, 
Bible class, &c. 
The peculiarities of their faith are the follow-
ing : That there are but two advents, or appear-
ings of the Savior to this earth,, and that both are 
personal and visible. 
That there will be a literal resurrection of the 
dead. That only those who are Christ's will be 
raised at his coming. That there will be a thou-
sand years between the resurrection of the righ-
teous and the wicked. 
That the reward promised to the saints will 
be given at the second coming of Christ.

Early New England Adventism ; 
Letter from Bro. Morris Buller. 
Dear flrbther :--A:nother year has rolled away 
and brings us one year nearer the glorious appear-
ing of our Lord and Savior, to establish his king-
dom and gather his saints, to put them in posses-
sion of that kingdom which he promised to his 
is in perfect harmony with that of the first Chris- disciples when he said, " Fear not little flock, it 
tians for 300 years after Christ. How striking-
ly like the style of Ireneus is the following. 
" The promise made to Abraham Gen. 13:15, 
concerning the land of Canaan, to thee will I give 
it, and to thy seed. The promise is to Abraham 
is your Father's good pleasure to give you the 
kingdom." �( �1 �
`vil 
We have witnessed many changing scenes dur-
ing the past year. Many thousands, who at the 
beginning of the year were blest with health and 
himself, as well as to his seed. God knew he strength, now lie beneath the cold clods of the 
should die before ever he possessed it, as appears valley ; there to await the voice of the archangel, 
and the trump of God, to arouse the sleeping 
saints from their dusty beds, to be caught up to- 
gether with those who are alive and remain, to 
meet the Lord in the air, while those who have 
died unreconciled to God, will still slumber on to 
await that day, when the dead, small and great, 
shall stand before God, to be judged out of those 
things written in the books according to their 
works. 
During the past year, the king of terrors has 
been making sad inroads, sparing neither age nor 
sex in his onward march, and making use of va-
rious agencies to secure his victims. While dis-
eases of different kinds, have been permitted to 
claim their share, many have been swallowed up 
beneath the foaming waves of the ocean ; and 
thousands have perished on the bloody field of 
battle, amidst the clash of contending armies.—
But the grim messenger will soon be compelled 
to lay by his fatal darts. The deliverer will soon 
come, to deliver his people from the power of 
death ; and death will be swallowed up in victo- 
ry. �
" 0, death where is thy sting? 0 grave 
where is thy victory ?" 
While we have been compelled to witness the 
works of the destroying angel, in removing many 
of our fellow mortals from the shores of time, to 
await the judgment of the Great Day, God in his 
great mercy hath seen fit to spare many of us to 
behold the dawn of the New Year ; but for what 
intent is best known to himself. We are not per-
mitted to look into the future, we know not what 
a year may bring forth. �
• 
Many signs have been visible during the past 
Acts 7:6. He gave him none inheritance, &e. 
Therefore Abraham himself must inherit that 
promised land, which he will at the resurrection. 
A ,copulative proposition is not true except all 
the parts be true. If I say a man is godly, 
learned, and rich, except he be all three, the 
position is not true. If one give land to a man 
and his children, the man has as good a right as 
his children, and the promise is not made good 
except the man have it, as well as his children. 
It's to no purpose to say if the man die it falls to 
his children. God knew Abraham would die be-
fore he would inherit the land, but he knew also 
that he would raise him again to possess it at 
this resurrection ; else why does he put him in ? 
It had been enough to have promised it to his 
seed after him ; but both are alike promised, and 
bah must be fulfilled," p. 13. 
Scripture is not wanting to sustain the views 
of our witness, and he quotes it properly and 
abundantly. Of " the personal coming of Christ," 
he remarks, " that Christ with his saints shall 
have a glorious visible kingdom upon earth in 
the latter days, is generally received," which 
proposition he proceeds to prove from twelve

portion of the 
work in the first part or beginning of this day is, 
to raise the saints, destroy his enemies with tem-
poral destruction, set up his kingdom, rule and 
reign on the earth with his raised and then liv-
ing saints one thousand years ; after that, in the 
latter part of the day, to destroy Gog and Magog, 
to enter upon the last judgment, raise the wick-
ed, judge them according to their works, and 
cast them into the lake of fire which is the second 
death. All this, from first to last, is but one day 
of judgment, that great and terrible day of the 
Lord, and is but one coming, that is, his second, 
which we plead for... In the meantime this is 
the full persuasion of my heart, that which I

and the Bride, Come Lord Jesus, come quickly. 
Amen." 
Such was the faith of this truly celebrated and 
pious man. Associated with John Davenport, 
the latter also imbibed his pre-millennial view. 
And how far his influence tended to produce 
such a faith in his pupils, Cotton Mather and 
others, we are not informed. " He left his mark 
forever on New England, says Barnard, but has

teeth." 
The bold prince of darkness seems to be aware 
that his time is short to deceive the nations, and 
is making use of every stratagem his infernal 
power can invent, to deceive and draw people 
after him ; and many are led captive by him.—
They will follow him, step by step, giving way to 
every temptation, till they yield themselves will-
ing subjects to be led captive by him at his 
will. 
My heart is pained within me, when I see the

taking of the intoxicating cup, which is working 
the ruin of thousands of the present day ; lead- 
ing them into all manner of sin, ani crimes of the 
deepest dye. �

NO. XX.—EZEKIEL CHEETER, 
Ezekiel Cheever, the " Patriarch of New Eng-
land Schoolmasters," as Henry Barnard styles him, 
was born in London 1614, and came to America 
in compuny with Theophilus Eaton and John 
Davenport in 1637. He assisted in planting the 
colony and church of New Haven, Ct., was cho-
sen deacon of the latter, and sometimes conduct-
ed religious worship. His career as a school-
master began here 1638 and continued in New 
Haven till 1650. From this time till 1661 he 
taught the Free School at Ipswich, Mass., and 
after laboring nine years at Charlestown, Mass., 
he moved to Boston, Jan. 6th, 1670, where he 
taught his famous Latin School for thirty-eight 
years, dying 1708, in the 94th year of his age, 
" his intellectual force," says Mather, " as little 
abated as his natural." He was the first and 
great New England teacher for 70 years, and 
" governors, judges, ministers, magistrates, and 
merchants yet in their teens," were among his 
pupils,—Cotton Mather being one of the number, 
who preached his funeral sermon, and in the 
closing of which he says of him : 
" He was well studied in the Body of Divini-
ty ; an able defender of the Faith and Order of 
the Gospel ; notably conversant and acquainted 
with the Scriptural Prophecies, and by conse- 
quence a sober chiliast ;" and, he adds, " To say 
no more, he died a candidate for the First resur-
rection." (Vide Sermon, 1708, last page). 
His " Scripture Prophecies Explained in three 
Short Essays, 1. On the Restitution of all 
things, 2. On St. John's First Resurrection, 
3. On the personal coming of Christ, as com-
mencing at the beginning of the *millennium des-
cribed in the Apocalypse," &c., a small 8vo. of 
pp. 32, Boston, was not printed till 1757, for-
ty-nine years after his death-. He was also the 
author of the renowned " Accidence," or Latin 
Grammar, a work which, prior to 1790, had 
passed through no less than 20 editions, and 
wrote Latin verses, never printed ; but in no 
place do his clear millennial doctrines shine 
out save in the " Essays." 
Though already anticipated I here present a 
synopsis of his views. He says of the Restitu-
tion it " is not a new creation, as at the beginning, 
bringing a new world out of nothing, but only a 
restoring and refining of this present world, and 
bringing it to the state it was once in before the 
fall," Acts 3:21-24 ; Rev. 21:1; Isa. 65:17 ; .all 
of which he says will be actual and literal, and 
occur before the last general and post millennial 
judgment. The first resurrection, he says, is "the 
rising of the saints 1000 years before the resur-
rection of the wicked." It is " a bodily resur-
rection," he thinks, of those that were "naturally 
dead," and " to put any other construction upon

to admire the fearlessness of the Reformer, I 
could not but ask myself the question, How many 
in this audience know aught of Luther's prophet-
ic views ? Do they know that D'Aubigne says 
of him, " The reformer, dreading lest the end of 
the world should arrive before he had translated 
all the Bible, published the prophecies of Daniel 
separately,—' a work,' said he, for these latter 
times,'"—and that near the time of his death, 
when he had more thoroughly investigated the 
prophecies, he said, "I persuade myself, verily, 
that the day of judgment will not be absent full 
three hundred years more. God will not, cannot 
suffer this wicked world much longer !" �

Tuesday, 29th. It has been with me for some 
time past a very important question, Lord, what 
wouldst thou have me to do ? I think I am will-
ing to stay and labor as I have done in this part 
of my Master's vineyard, or to go anywhere else 
that he may indicate by his Providence. I wait 
his guidance ; still I know but little of my own 
heart, " I know the way of man is not in himself : 
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps ;" 
and it has been well said that " seldom does God 
suffer men to be their own carvers, but they cut 
their own fingers." I wish, therefore, to so live 
that I may be able to claim the promise, " In all 
thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct 
thy paths." Prov. 3:6. The question of duty how-
ever is often a perplexing one. 
Wednesday, 30th. The hour of prayer has 
again passed, and some felt it was not spent in 
vain. We know it is our privilege to pray in se-
cret : there we can pour out our desires before 
our heavenly Father without any reserve, but it 
seems to be more of a duty sometimes than a priv-
ilege to pray in public. Perhaps few Christians 
would choose to pray in the congregation in or-
der to increase their devotional feeling : they do 
it out of a sense of their obligation to God and 
duty to the brotherhood. That it is the bounden 
duty of believers to sustain prayer-meetings is 
obvious, but how to make such meetings the most 
profitable is a question I have often pondered. 
Recently I found some remarks on this subject cannot break forth into new leaves and buds, but 
by an anonymous writer which are not wide of thirstingly waits for the summer, that it might at

this evening was thinly attended. Judging from 
what I saw, heard, and felt, I concluded we could 
not affirm with the Psalmist, " The zeal of thine

like him, " Wilt thou not revive us again, that 
thy people may rejoice in thee? �

EXPOSITORY. 
The Book of Daniel. 
BY THE EDITOR. 
CHAPTER II. 
" For this cause the king was angry and very 
furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise 
men of Babylon." �
v. 12. 
The power of the Chaldean monarch was ab-
solute; his word was law, and whoever should in 
the least transgress his commands was at his mer- 
cy. �
He had, evidently, ascribed to the wise men 
a greater degree of skill and knowledge than they 
laid claim to. He seems to have supposed that 
their wisdom was sufficient for any emergency; and, 
having relied on them to bring to mind his for-
gotten dream, and been disappointed, his anger 
was very natural, though most unjust. He had 
set his heart on knowing " what should come to 
pass hereafter ;" he had had a most wonderful 
dream, in which he supposed was signified what 
he desired to know ; the dream had so passed 
from his mind that he could rid, recall it distinct-
ly ; he had not doubted that his wise men, by 
their skill and learning, could both reproduce the 
dream and unfold its meaning ; and now to be 
told by them that the thing required was beyond 
the reach of human wisdom,or any instrumental-
ity at their command, not only caused him to be 
very angry, but very furious. He was enraged 
and flew into a passion. He did not act calmly 
and deliberately, but determined in his madness 
to exterminate all who made any pretentious to 
wisdom and knowledge—not only those in the 
city of Babylon, but probably, all the wise men 
within the whole Babylonish realm. 
slay 
Daniel 
made a wise and discreet answer. �
What Dan- 
iel said to Arioch is not recorded; but it caused 
him to stay the farther execution of the king's 
decree. Arioch may have announced to Daniel 
that the king had decreed the slaughter of all the 
wise men, because of their inability to make 
known the king's dream ; and Daniel's discreet 
reply may have given assurance to Arioch that 
the dream might be made known to the king. It 
would have required some such intimation to in-
duce the captain of the guard to suspend the 
execution of the sentence ; and as he knew how 
desirous the king was to learn the nature and 
import of his dream, the possibility of Daniel 
making it known, would naturally be regarded by 
Arioch as a sufficient reason for sparing him and 
the remaining wise men, till his ability to recall 
it should be fairly tested. 
This result shows how important prudence and 
discretion are in the management of any cause. 
Had Daniel been otherwise than thus discreet, 
his life would have been forfeited, and we should 
have never known the wondrous vision, and its 
prophetic significance. He who knows that he is 
on the side of truth and right, can afford to be 
calm and collected ; whilst the one in error or in 
the wrong naturally loses his temper, and defeats 
by his want of wisdom, what he might otherwise 
accomplish. 
Having evidently convinced Arioch, that the - 
king's dream might be made known, and so gain-
ing a suspension of the decree, Daniel next en-
quires the reason of its great haste ; which he 
would not be likely to enquire respecting, so long 
as his life was in momentary peril. �
The ques- 
tion implies that Daniel judged the king to have 
issued his decree before exhausting all the means 
in his power to learn his dream. �
He had not 
communicated with all the wise men of Babylon; 
for Daniel and his fellows had not been consult- 
ed. �l 5 t �
t �,t 
In reply to this, Arioch made known all the 
circumstances which led to the issue of the de-
cree,the submission of the thing to the wise men, 
their failure to make it known, and the king's 
great anger and fury that followed—having been 
previously told by Arioch only the fact and cause 
of the decree, without its more minute particu- 
lars. �

"Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king 
that he would give him time, and he would show 
the king the interpretation." �v. 16. 
It is not certain that Daniel at this time had 
an audience of the king. The text only affirms 
that he made a request of the king, which he 
may have done by accompanying Arioch into the 
palace, and sending his petition to the king by 
the hand of some high functionary at the Baby-
lonish court ; and vs. 24,5, seem to imply that 
his first personal interview, after the issue of the 
decree, was not till the dream had been revealed 
to him. 
The reason of Daniel's desire for time is not 
recorded ; but his subsequent course shows that 
it was for the purpose of Haying to God for a 
revelation of the secret. He may have informed 
or sent word to the king that he wished for time 
for that object; and it is evident that for some cause 
Nebuchadnezzar was so well assured that Daniel's 
would perform his promise, that he gave him all 
needed time,—though he had refused any delay 
to the Chaldean magicians. 
Despotism of the Romish Church. 
The correspondent of the N. Y. Independent 
brings to light some facts in recent Italian his-
tory. 
The Monitore di Bolona has lately disclosed 
some documents found in the archives of the 
Papal Government, which for their disgraceful 
" And the decree went forth that the wise men 
should be slain ; and they sought Daniel and his 
fellows to be slain." �
v. 13. 
It is a question whether or not, this decree of 
the king was executed on any of the Magi. The 
executioners of the king's will, always occupied a 
place near the persons of oriental sovereigns, and 
there was seldom any delay in the execution of a 
sentence. The phrase, that the wise men should 
be slain," is rendered by some, and the wise men 
were slain. If not so stated, it is not improbable 
that those in the king's presence were put to death 
on the spot,—as was often the case in the execu-
tion of criminals ; but all the wise men were not 
there assembled ; and wherever any one might be, 
the executioners of the king's decree sought him 
to put him to death. 
Among the absent ones were Daniel and his 
three Hebrew companions, though they could not 
be far distant ; as they had passed their examin-
ation and were numbered among the literati of 
Babylon, the decree embraced them ; and as those 
sought were probably slain, when found, the go-
ing of the executioners to find Daniel, was for 
the purpose of slaying him.

less, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy 
habitation," Ib. 68:5. " The Lord raiseth them that 
are bowed down : the Lord loveth the righteous. 
The Lord preserveth the stranger ; he relieveth the 
fatherless and widow," Ib. 146:8,9. 
As a loving father, also, he administers chastise-
ment to his wayward children. " For whom the 
Lord loveth he correcteth, even as a father the son 
in whom he delighteth," Prov. 3:12. As " we have 
had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we 
gave them reverence : shall we not much rather be 
in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live ?" 
Heb. 12:9. 
God being thus our Father, those who are accept-
ed of him sustain to him the relation of sons and 
daughters. As no man cometh to the Father but 
through Christ, so " as many as received him, to 
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even 
to them that believe on his name ; which were born 
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the 
will of man, but of God," John 1:12,23. To such 
God has promised, that " unto them will I give in 
mine house and within my walls a place and a name 
better than of sons and of daughters." Isa. 56:5. 
Christ died, so that sinners under the law " might 
receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are 
sons, God bath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into 
your hearts crying, Abba, Father." Gal. 4:56. 
Our Saviour taught that the hour was come 
" when the true worshippers shall worship the Fa-
ther in spirit and in truth ; for the Father seeketh 
such to worship him," John 4:23. He also said, 
" I am the way, the truth, and the life : no man 
cometh to the Father, but by me." lb. 14:6. We 
thus " have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus 
Christ the righteous : and he is the propitiation for 
our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins 
of the whole world." 1 John 2:1,1. " Now where 
remission of these is, there is no more offering for 
sin. Having therefore brethren, boldness to enter 
into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and 
living way, which he bath consecrated for ;us, 
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh ; and hav-
ing an High Priest over the house of God ; let us 
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of 
faith ,-having our hearts sprinkled from an evil con-
science, and our bodies washed with pure water," 
(Ileb. 9:18-22).-and supplicate for all the mercies 
and blessings, for all the wisdom and grace that we 
need, invoking God by the affectionate, and yet rev-
erential name of " Our Father." 
While this is a general form of invocation, it is 
not as some suppose the only one by which God may 
be addressed, as is seen by Scriptural example. 
Stephen prayed, while being stoned, " Lord Jesus, 
receive my spirit ;" and, " Lord, lay not this sin 
to their charge," Acts 7:56-60. And Paul prayed 
to the Savior, at his conversion, saying " Lord, 
what wilt thou have me to du ?," Acts 9:5. In the 
time of Seth men first began to invoke God as Yah-
veh, or the Coming One, Gen. 4:26. Abraham ad-
dressed him as " Lord God," Gen. 15:2. And he 
is variously addressed as the" Lord God of Israel," 
2 Chr. 6:4 ; the " Lord of hosts, God of Israel," Isa. 
37:16, " The God of Abraham," the God of my fa-
thers," &c.-any designation being appropriate 
which is recognized by him as distinctive of his Ma-
jesty and Glory ; but, there is no one that is more 
calculated to inspire confidence in, and affection for 
our heavenly Parent, then the simple denominative 
of " Our Father." 
The Woman on the Scarlet Beast. Rev. 17. 
A writer in the January No. of the London Quar-
terly Journal of Prophecy (just received from our 
agent in London) makes the enquiry, " Who is this 
' woman' that the beast' supports ? Can it apply 
to the church of Rome ?" And he proceeds to an-
swer, as follows : 
Let us briefly consider. 
She is called " a great whore." So was the 
church of old. " Israel bath played the harlot with 
many lovers ; thou bast a whore's forehead," says 
Jeremiah. 
She is described as sitting-i. e. having her 
cathedral seat-upon " peoples, and multitudes,and 
nations, and tongues." The unrepealed decree of 
Pope Boniface VIII. reads as follows : " We pro-
nounce it to be of necessity to salvation to every hu-
man creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff." 
She is represented as committing spiritual for-
nication-i. e. idolatry-" with the kings of the 
earth." Speaking of the twelfth century, the his-
torian observes, " It was now that the veneration 
paid to the Virgin Mary rose to an almost exclusive 
idolatry." (See Hallam's Middle Ages, chap. ix.) 
In the Pontifical order for receiving an Emperur,the 
cross of the Pope's legate has the first place of hon-
or, because "Latria (the worship exclusively due to 
God) is owed to it." 
She is " arrayed in purple and scarlet color," 
(the well-known colors worn by the Pope, Cardinals, 
Bishop, and Priests,) " having a golden cup in her 
character, would be quite incredible, were they 
not officially published, and their authenticity 
put beyond question. Among the pieces pub-
lished are the papers of a Judicial Committee 
instituted in 1849, in order to extirpate from the 
country all liberal ideas. The judges composing 
that strange court were known only to the Court 
of Rome ; they sat secretly, and were bound 
upon oath to keep secret their sentences, and 
their very existence as a tribunal. They were 
to judge and sentence the people without hear-
ing them, even without making known to them 
the cause of their condemnation. Their victims 
some day disappeared, were thrown into prisons 
or carried off into exile, nobody knew wherefore. 
Not only acts, but thoughts, tendencies, suppos-
ed intentions, were sufficient grounds for the sen-
tences of' that infamous tribunal. Here are some 
of the heads of accusation which led to the pun-
ishment of hundreds of the wretched subjects of 
the Pope : 
" For not thinking rightly in political matters. 
" For having shown themselves rather enthus-
iastic. 
" For having voted for the Constituent Assem-
bly (257,000 citizens were guilty of that crime.) 
" For having maintained intercourse with dan-
gerous political characters. 
" For having a countenance which led to sup-
pose certain inclination toward political novelties. 
" For having looked with complacency upon 
the beginning of innovations. 
ij`For liberal tendencies. 
" For not being quite decided in favor of the 
Pontifical Government. 
" For a doubtful conduct in religious matters," 
etc. 
And mind ; these quotations are not a satire, 
but bona fide official extracts from the proceed- 
ings of the famous court. What can be expect-
ed from a government capable of such deeds ? 
What hope is there of its ever reforming itself ? 
ADVENT HERALD. 
BOSTON, JANUARY 28, 1860. 
SYLVESTER BLISS, EDITOR. 
The readers of the Herald are most earnestly besought to 
give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God may 
be honored and his truth advanced ; also, that it may be 
conducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judgment and 
discernment of the truth, in nothing carried away into 
error, or hasty speech, or sharp, unbrotherly disputation. 
THE TERMS OF TIE IIERALD. The terms of the 
Herald are two dollars a year, in advance ;-with 
as large an addition, as the generosity of donors 
shall open their hearts to give, towards the comple-
tion of the payment of the purchase of the office 
by the A.M.A. ; and to make the Association an 
efficient instrumentality for good. 
1. The Invocation. 
" Our Father," Matt. 6:9. 
This is the familiar title, with which our Saviour 
has commanded us to invoke God, when we draw 
nigh unto him in prayer. There is but " one God 
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, 
and in you all," Eph. 4:6 ; and it is fitting that he 
should be thus addressed-He being our Creator, 
Preserver, and most bountiful benefactor. 
God is the Father of all created intelligences : 
" Have we not all one Father ? hath not one God 
created us ?" Mal. 2:10. He is, however, peculiar-
ly so to all who call on him-who " have received 
the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Fa-
ther," Rom. 8:15. " Doubtless thou art our Fath-
er, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel 
acknowledge us not : Thou 0 Lord, art our Father, 
our Redeemer," Isa. 63:16. " Thou art our Father : 
we are the clay, and thou our potter ; and we are 
all the work of thy hands," lb. 64:8. 
Not only as our Creator, is God our Father, but 
he is so in the kind and fatherly care which he takes 
of us his creatures. " Like as a father pitieth his 
children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 
For he knoweth our frame ; he remembereth that we 
are dust," Psa. 103:13. " A father of the father- 
hand." At the jubilee of A. D. 1825, a medal was 
struck at Rome, bearing on one side the figure of 
Pope Leo XII., and on the reverse that of a woman, 
holding out a golden cup in her hand, with this in-
scription, "Sedet super universam." 
She has " a name upon her forehead, written 
Mystery, Babylon the Great." Seneca testifies to 
this custom among the Roman women : " Nomen 
tuum pependlt in ironic; pretia stuprz accepisti." 
Scaliger, Brocardus, and others, affirm that at one 
time the word " Mystery" appeared in letters of 
gold upon the forepart of the Pope's mitre. 
She is described as " drunken with the blood 
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of 
Jesus." On this head humanity bids us be silent, 
as the facts are too numerous to he detailed, too 
well known to be doubted, and too horrible to be 
repeated. 
She is represented as having the seat of her 
power in a " seven-hilled" city. Need we quote the 
Roman poets in proof of this ? The line of Virgil 
in ancient times, " Septemque una sibi mare circum-
dabit arces," and of a less distinguished poet in the 
present day, Dr. Wiseman- 
" The golden roof, the marble walls, 
The Vatican's majestic halls, 
The note redouble till it fills 
With echoes sweet the seven hills"- 
alike testify to the natural interpretation that it is 
none other than Rome which is here referred to. 
Her merchandise is described, amongst a vari-
ety of other things, as being that " of bodies and 
souls of men." lEneas Sylvius, subsequently raised 
to the Popedom as Pius II., teaches " that the court 
of Rome bestows nothing without payment. For 
the ordination of priests and the gifts of the Holy 
Spirit are sold, and even the pardon of sins can only 
be obtained for money." 
Lastly, it is written, " The woman is that 
great city which reigneth over the kings of the 
earth," which, it is needless to observe, Rome un-
questionably did, to the exclusion of every other 
great city, at the time when St. John wrote. 
The N. Y. Observer on the End. 
It is the purpose of the Herald to give all manner 
of speculations on the subject of prophecy, that have 
either argument, or the authority of great names to 
sustain them. Actual argument, though 
from the unknown or untaught, will find its 
place; and that which is destitute of argument, if 
put forth by those whose opinions are sought for, 
should be given so that each one may judge for him 
or herself of its probable weight. We therefore give 
the following article from the N. Y. Observer,-it 
being a comment on the views of Dr. Cumming of 
London-without, of course agreeing for a moment 
with the expectation that the prophetic periods only 
bring us to an epoch when civilization is to work 
the expected wonders which the Scriptures connect 
with Christ's personal advent. 
The Observer says : 
The Rev. Dr. Cumming, of London, with boldness, 
learning, ability and unquestioned sincerity, still 
thunders in the hearing of men, that the end of the 
dispensation is at hand. A second series of his ser-
mons-" the Great Tribulation"-has just been is-
sued by Rudd and Carlton, of this city, and we have 
read them with intense interest, much instruction 
and real edification. This is much to say when we 
add that the theory of their author on the Second 
Coming of Christ we have never adopted. But the 
eloquence, devotional fervor and evident desire for the 
glory of God in the conversion of sinners, the glow-
ing, joyous, hopeful view that he takes of the future 
in the midst of darkness and storms, invest his pages 
with a charm that enchains our attention, ern 
when we are not convinced by his logic or chronol-
ogy. 
This volume he opens with a sermon on Daniel's 
time, times and a half, that we have studied with 
attention. In this discourse he presents the opin-
ions of others, rather than his own, and shows that 
whatever theories in the fulfillment of the dates in 
Daniel are held, whether they fix the commencement 
at this period, or that period, or at some other peri-
od, nearly all concur in one remarkable conclusion, 
namely, that 1867 is to be the great crisis, the test-
ing crisis in the events of history, in the fulfillment 
of prophecy, and in the experience of mankind. 
We will give a single paragraph in the author's 
own words, closing with a prediction which has our 
most implicit confidence ; 
• " Assuming that 532 began the 1260 years, what 
is next to, take place, Daniel tells us in this passage 
to which I specially ask attention, as confirmatory 
of the theory I am trying to uphold, that first of all 
there shall be time, times, and half a time, or 1260 
years, and then there shall be 1290 years. In other 
words, Daniel says that 1260 years shall be augment-
ed by 30 years more ; at the end of which 30 years 
there shall be some great event, which we have to 
That Last Note. 
••• 'nn,.,
4 
We are not able to record this week so large a list 
of donations towards cancelling that last note, as 
we expected to-judging from the very generous ex-
pressions and gifts which flowed in during previous 
weeks. Quite a number of friends have written 
their intention to aid in its payment, and we doubt 
not that the amount will be speedily received. But 
all will see that it will he much easier to effect this 
now, than later in the season. The friends have 
done nobly thus far, and a little perseverance will 
accoinplis:, the ol,,;,Tt. �
bh,J1 hope to be able to 
chronicle more progress in our next. Who will en-
able us to do so? Bro. Parker may have to speak 
to the sisters once more ; for if they put their 
shoulder to the wheel again, the work will he speed-
ily effected. Its payment will relieve the " A. M. 
Association" of an incubus ; and it is now more 
than one-third done. As soon as the second hundred 
dollars is raised, that amount will be paid over to 
the holder of the note, as the first hundred was on 
the 12th inst. The faster this is done, the sooner 
will stop the interest ; which was an item of ex-
pense last year, to the amount of $67, which we 
hope not to have to include in the items of future 
expenses. 
Dividend on Chapel Stock. 
A majority of the Trustees have voted a dividend 
for the last year of five per cent. on the par value of 
the shares of the Boston Advent Association-or 
$2.50 on each share. 
As there is not the full amount of cash on hand 
to meet the payment of this at once, shareholders 
will please to be as lenient as possible in calling for 
the same. 
It has beep the custom of a large number, in 
years past, after having their Herald credited by di-
vidend a year in advance, to direct the balance to be 
put to the credit of the Herald office ; and such bal-
ances have been found very convenient in meeting 
quarterly bills for rent. It is hoped the sharehold-
er, will be as kindly considerate of the necessities of 
the A. M. Association now, as they were of the of-
fice formerly. The balances which any may be dis-
posed to transfer to the benefit of the Association, 
will also come most opportune in aid, of the pay-
ment of the remaining note-for which there is 
$255 still needed, and which should be speedily 
wiped out, if we would hasten the time when the 
ascertain. Now if we add to 1792, when the 1260 
years terminated, an additional 30 years, it brings 
us down to 1822. But 1822 is the terminating pe- 
riod of the 2300 years also, according to Elliot's in-
terpretation. NV ell, did anything take place in 1822 
that would justify that period as it terminating 
epoch ? We find that Turkey, in the language of 
Lamartine, began to die fur want of Turks ; the 
whole force of that great system of propagandism 
then began its rapid exhaustion ; and from that day 
to this even our efforts to keep back Russia have not 
kept up Turkey ; it is at this moment in the pangs 
of dissolution. I stated four or five years ago that 
it would be so ; and however justified we were, and 
we were justified in trying to prevent Russia from 
disturbing the balance of the power of Europe ; yet 
as I then said our efforts to preserve! Turkey would 
he vain. Russia has still a sign-board near Peters-
burg, on which is written,' The way to Constanti- 
nople,' and in the lapse of years Constantinople will 
be hers, and Russia will yet play a part in the his-
tory of the world probably unprecedented for a thou-
sand years." 
We are aware that a large party of christians be-
lieve that Turkey is to retain her distinct nationality 
and they labor and pray with reference to this as a 
fixed fact. But Providence and Prophecy seem to 
to point out her approaching dissolution. 
When Russia takes possession of Constantinople, 
when France extends her African empire over Egypt 
and completes the Suez Canal, when England takes 
the government of Syria and Palestine and runs a 
railway from the Mediterranean through the plains 
of Sharon and Esdraelon into the East, then the des- 
ert will blossom as the rose : then a highway.shall be 
there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return to 
Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads. 
We do not intend or pretend that these political and 
commercial Causes are to produce such results, or 
were even included in the prophecies. But it is a 
deep seated conviction that when the wilderness of 
Palestine is once possessed by a Christian power, and 
the arts and sciences of European civilization are in- 
troduced, that beautiful land will speedily be over-
run with a population from the West : converted 
Jews may go ; but with them other thousands who 
will make the hills and vales of Judea once more vo-
cal with psalms. 
Dr. Cumming gathers the opinions of writers on 
Prophecy for many years past, all pointing to the 
year 1867 as the crisis on which stupendous events 
are to turn. His views will secure the interested at-
tention of all who take up his book. 
THE ADVEN T HERALD. �
29 
A.M.A. shall be able to work more efficiently. We 
make this suggestion for the consideration of the 
shareholders. 
New Subscribers. 
We cannot refrain from again urging the friends 
of the A. M. Association,—the friends of the fun 
damental doctrines which this Association was form-
ed to promulgate—to take speedy measures to can-
vas their respective districts for new subscribers to 
the Herald. A few hundreds can be raised with ef-
fort, and they will be very much appreciated at this 
time. We shall be able to supply back Heralds to 
January 1, to the thirty or forty new subscribers 
that are first obtained. 
To CORRESPONDENTS. We would remind corres-
pondents that short, scriptural communications for 
the columns of the Herald, are always acceptable. 
The asking of a question, also, sometimes gives us 
a theme fur an editorial. 
DELINQUENTS. A few of our readers, only, have 
forgotten the terms, advance payment, on which the 
Herald is published. It is hoped that these few will 
soon be heard from. It is much more pleasant, in 
writing the names of subscribers, week aftei week, 
to write names of those who own their paper, than 
of those who own it not. 
Foreign News. 
Portland, Jan. 19. The steamship Anglo-Saxon 
from Liverpool, Jan. 4, with dates from Queenstown 
on the afternoon of the 5th, arrived at this port about 
1 o'clock this morning. 
FRANCE. According to custom, the Emperor on 
new year's day received the members of the diplo- 
matic corps in the Salle du Trone. �
The reception 
took place at 1 P. M. and is thus recorded in the 
Mon i teur . 
The Papal Nuncio addressed the Emperor as fol-
lows : 
Sire—On the first day of this year, which has as-
sembled the Diplomatic body around your Majesty, 
I have the honor to offer to you this respectful hom-
age. 
The Emperor replied as follows : 
I thank the diplomatic body for the good wishes it 
has addressed on the event of the new year, and am 
especially happy at this time to have the opportuni-
ty of reminding the representatives that since my ac-
cession to power, I have always professed the most 
profound respect for recognized rights. Be then as-
sured the constant aim of my life will be to re-establish 
everywhere, in so much as depends on me, confidence 
and peace. 
His Majesty then passed before the diplomatic cir-
cle, and spoke a few words to each Ambassador mak-
ing inquiries especially respecting the health of their 
sovereigns. �
The reception lasted about twentyfive 
minutes. �
The Emperor's speech was generally re- 
garded as satisfactory, but attracted little atten-
tion. 
The Papal Nuncio is stated to have subjected two 
drafts of his proposed remarks to the French For-
eign Office before his singularly laconic address was 
resolved upon. �
It is stated that he wished to give 
a few hints about the condition of the Roman 
States. 
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Advertis-
er states that the Congress.will positively meet on 
the 31st inst. 
There is some discussion in Paris whether the ref-
erence in the Emperor's New Year's reply to recog-
nized rights referred to the rights of the princes re-
served at Villafranca ; but it is argued that the elect 
of universal suffrage, who owes his sovereignty to 
the national will, must have intended to admit that, 
if the Pope and the Grand Dukes have recognized 
rights, the people of the Roman States and Central 
Italy have recognized rights also, which he intends 
to retain. 
AUSTRIA. The Times Vienna correspondent says 
the Emperor of Austria is not likely to take up arms 
for the Italian dukes or the Pope. The Austrian 
minister recently confessed, candidly, that Austria 
could not interfere in Italy if she would, as she had 
neither money nor men. The Austrian army is short-
ly to be reduced to a peace footing. 
Vienna letters say that a very unfriendly feeling 
towards the French again prevailed in that capital. 
Addresses to the Pope, which had been lying in 
the Vienna churches, were not so numerously signed 
as expected. 
An Imperial order directs there shall be no levy of 
recruits in 1860, and that no more than the ordinary 
number of men shall be raised in 1861. 
A large ship supposed to be American, was riding 
at anchor near Fleetwood, Jan. 3, with all her masts 
cut away. 
SPAIN AND MOROCCO. The Spanish army, com-
manded by General Prim, has defeated the Moors on 
the whole line, and advanced as far as Castilligos. 
The Hussars executed several heroic charges and cap- 
tured a flag. The Moors were 40,000 strong, and 
lost at least 1500 ; the Spanish loss was 400 to 600. 
ITALY. Gen. Guyon, commander of the French 
forces at Rome, has been ordered by telegraph to pro-
ceed to Paris. This, in some quarters, was interpre-
ted into a menace to the Papal government. 
A dispatch from Modena says that, in consequence 
of a demand made by the family of the boy Mor-
tara, who had given proof that the kidnapping of the 
child was ordered by Rev. father and Inquisitor Fi-
lette, the latter had been arrested, and judicial 
proceedings had been instituted. 
Garibaldi had been honored with an enthusiastic 
ovation at Milan, although he endeavored to pass 
through the city en route to Turin, quietly and un-
observed. 
Garibaldi's mission to Turin Is said to have refer-
ence to his probable appointment as Commander-in-
Chief of all the National Guard of the Kingdom. 
The general amnesty in Naples had been deferred, 
but fifty additional pardons had been granted. 
Cardinal Antonelli had announced his intention to 
leave Rome on the 12th for Paris. 
THE CONGRESS. The London Times, in an edito-
rial, says that present appearances indicate that the 
contemplated European Congress will not take place 
and argues that the position of England in such a 
case will be so much better. It says in the event of 
no Congress being held, that all that will then re-
main will be to recognize the Central Italian State 
which has been formed out of the Romagna and 
Duchies, either as an independent kingdom, or as 
part of the Sardinian Monarchy, to take our stand 
on accomplished facts, and leave the Pope and his 
supporters to their remedy. 
The Daily News remarks that the projected Con-
gress is indefinitely postponed, and that no friend of 
the cause of freedom in Italy need regret the tempo-
rary difficulty in which diplomacy finds itself, as ev-
ery month gained confirms the liberties of the Cen-
tral Italian States, and justifies their revolution be-
fore the world. 
A Paris correspondent writing on the 1st January 
says it was then reported in Paris that Congress will 
be summoned for the end of January, but the exact 
day is not known. 
A dispatch dated Rome, 3d, says that the Duke of 
Grammont has positively stated to the Holy See that 
the pamphlet "the Pope and Congress" does not con-
tain the programme of the French Government. The 
explanation produced an excellent effect on the Pope 
and it was hoped that he would not object to be re-
presented at the Congress. 
Prince Gortschakoff left St. Petersburg on the 27th 
for Paris. 
The latest accounts from the continent do not con-
firm the statement that Congress would not be held. 
On the contrary it was reported in Paris that Con-
gress would meet on the 12th February. 
ITEMS AND NEWS. 
The ice boat so much talked of for winter naviga-
tion on the Mississippi, was put into successful opera-
tion at Prairie du Chien, Wis., on the 11th, and 
made a trip to Lafayette, thirty-two miles, in two 
hours and ten minutes, returning in two hours, and 
carrying twenty passengers. 
A pleasing incident is mentioned in connection 
with the recent visit of Prince Arthur of England-1-
Queen Victoria's sbcond son, who is now a midship-
man in the Mediterranean fleet—to Athens. About 
the time that he was to arrive there a horse race was 
appointed for Monday, but in order that it might be 
honored with his presence, was postponed to the fol-
lowing Sunday. The Prince arrived in time ; but 
promptly replied to the committee's invitation, that 
he could not attend such an exhibition on the Lord's 
day. The race was accordingly again postponed to 
the following Tuesday. On the Sabbath, the Prince 
took his place among f he little company of worship-
ers, in the English church in Athens, where our 
countryman, Rev. Dr. Hill, conducts the only Pro-
testant service in the English language in the king-
dom of Greece. In this noble example the Prince 
showed that he had not forgotten the instructions of 
his Christian mother. 
The advices from Italy are favorable to the spread 
of religious liberty. Full religious liberty for all 
Protestants has been proclaimed by the legislative 
assemblies of Parma, Modena, Tuscany, and the Le-
gation. Naples, Venetia, and the Papal States remain 
now the only Italian States in which the free relig-
ious organizations are still forbidden or impeded. At 
Florence the Italian service, began by Mr. Malan, 
late Moderator of the Waldensian Church, has been 
regularly continued. Father Gavazzi has recom-
menced preaching in Bologna. In Milan, the nec-
essary arrangements have been made for the estab-
lishment of a Waldensian church. 
Mr. Spurgeon in a letter in which he speaks of the 
revival in Ireland, says of his own church : 
" For more than five years, we have had all the 
fruits of a revival without its excessive excitement. 
The number of converts seems to be as constant as if' 
some divine law regulated and controlled their influx. 
Each week brings its quota, until we have no room 
to accommodate the church at the communion table, 
and are obliged to meet in two bodies, that all may 
find a place. The daily prayer meeting, at seven in 
the morning, has been maintained without cessation 
for two years, all through the winter mornings of fog, 
with which this city of Gog and Magog abounds, 
the brethren have never failed to be present, although 
to do so they have had long distances to walk." 
A box containing $74,000 in fictitious currency 
was received in Chicago last Monday, by Charles 
Sandford and John Lester. The fact becoming 
known, the State Attorney ordered that the suspect-
ed parties should be taken into custody. The notes 
are a fictitious issue, purporting to be of the " Hart-
ford Exchange Bank," Indiana. There is no such 
bank. 
Christopher Hewlitt, Assistant Teller in the Mar-
ket Bank of New York, committed suicide on Wed-
nesday, by taking strychnine. He went home in the 
afternoon and told his wife he had taken poison be-
cause he was so deeply in debt and could not see his 
way out of it. lie had been indulging in habits of 
dissipation for some time, and had been discharged 
from his position in the Bank on Wednesday. 
The funeral of Armistead Walker, a colored 
preacher of Fredericksburg, Va., on Sunday week, 
was attended by over 1000 slaves and 400 whites, 
including many ladies. The deceased was a slave, 
and by his respectful behavior won the esteem of 
all. 
Eight persons were drowned near Rhinebeck, N. 
J., on Tuesday last. A party of twenty or twenty-
five persons from the opposite side of the river were 
crossing on the ice in a large covered sleigh drawn 
by four horses, when the ice gave way and the sleigh 
went down, carrying with it eight of the passengers, 
who were drowned. All but eight succeeded in get-
ting out of the sleigh before it went down. The 
horses were saved. 
TERRIBLE DEATH. We learn that a colored man 
residing on Brighton street, Old Cambridge, was at-
tacked with a strange disease, or fit of madness, on 
last Wednesday, and expired the same day. In his 
paroxysms of madness, he literally bit his tongue, so 
that it hung in shreds. We understand he has re-
cently returned from Liberia, and very probably 
took from that unhealthy coast the fever which in-
duced his awful death.—Chronicle. 
Miller Titus, of Union, Maine, while hunting in 
the Penobscot Woods with a party of friends, start-
ed in pursuit ofa wounded moose. His companions, 
alarmed at his long absence, traveled for twenty 
miles in the direction which they supposed he took, 
and on their return to camp on the second day they 
found his lifeless body within two miles of the camp, 
where he had sat down to rest, fallen asleep and 
frozen to death. 
The New Orleans Delta reports that Joseph 
Wheeler who had been deaf and dumb for about 
four years, recently ventured very near the mouth of 
a cannon, and when it was fired he was knocked 
down senseless by the concussion. On recovering, to 
the surprise of all, he spoke as fluently as anybody, 
and heard and answered all questions put to him, 
and is, up to thil time, retailing language out in 
large doses. 
The late accident on the Hudson River Railroad 
was quite terrible. It was singular that the only 
person who was killed should have been the " bride 
of an hour." Miss Anna H. Tuthill was a teacher 
in one of the public schools in Brooklyn. She was 
engaged to Mr. Thomas W. Fields, one of the Brook-
lyn Board of Education. She resigned her place and 
went, a day or two since to Kingston, on the Ilud-
son River, to prepare for her nuptials. On Wednes-
day morning she was married. She bade adieu to 
her friends, and with her husband she started on her 
bridal tour to Washington. In a few hours she was 
a corpse. Both of her legs were broken, and she was 
internally injured. On Thursday she was carried 
to her husband's home, to be carried from thence to 
the grave. About thirty of the passengers were in-
jured—some fearfully, some fatally. A leaky en-
gine running behind time—imperfect signals—a gen-
eral neglect and an in-coming express train, at full 
speed, running into the train on the track, splitting 
it open, causing terror agony and death—were the 
causes of the disaster called an accident. 
The Papal Government took great pains to pre-
vent the pamphlet entitled " The Pope and the Con-
gress" frot entering the States of the Church, but it 
did not succeed, and it was soon circulated at Pesaro, 
Ancona, and other cities. The Florence correspond-
ent of the London Daily News talus describes the re-
sult : " I am told that the Central Committee of 
Bologna had to make the greatest exertions to keep 
the people of the Marche in a gtate of tranquillity. 
Their first thought was that of rising, but fortunate-
ly enough more prudent counsels at last prevailed. 
The priests are in an indescribable state of consterna-
tion. They are now fully convinced that the tem-
poral power of their chief is gone forever." 
THE LAWRENCE TRAGEDY.—By the official list, it 
seems that the whole number of dead who have been 
recognized'or identified, is 75 ; bodies not identified 
13 ; number missing, with the bodies not identified, 
14 ; leaving one still unaccounted for. This makes 
the whole number of dead by the calamity eighty-
eight or eighty-nine. Correct lists of those wounded 
seriously have been given before. 
Mr. Thayer of the Methodist church in Broom-
field st. in a sermon on this calamity last Sunday, 
remarked : 
"It was said that the calamity was God's opportu-
nity to speak a warning to the world. The same 
reason would apply to all the casualties of life. The 
speaker could not believe that God struck down the 
little child of two years because the parent loved it 
too well. It this was so, lie could not love the God 
that would do it. 
Such references to God always shock us. What-
ever God may do, can give no puny mortal, who 
cannot begin to comprehend the wisdom of the Infin-
ite, any plea for saying, " he could not love the God 
that would do it." Such a declaration is horridly 
impious. We do not doubt that God often has re-
moved children from this world, because the affliction 
would benefit the parent ; and it is certainly doing a 
great favor to the child—rendering its eternity for 
ever sure. 
" THE GREAT TRIBULATION." He must be a very 
careless reader of the signs of the times who does 
not see that we live in a most remarkable period of 
the world's history. Every day, arid on every hand, 
some great event is turning up, that, in any former 
age, would have filled the world with wonder. So 
frequent have these startling events become that 
they have almost ceased to excite surprise. It is 
well, therefore, that there is found at least one sen-
tinel on the watch-tower, who slumbers not nor 
sleeps ; who stands always with open eyes, and with 
becoming fearlessness is ever ready to give the alarm. 
We refer to Dr. Cumming of London. In that 
great Metropolis of the world he stands and cries, 
" Behold and see the signs of the coming of the Son 
of Man ! Look, and see the beginning of the end !" 
In his last work, The Great Tribulation, Dr. Cum-
ming speaks out plainly and tells us that we are 
suffering the blighting effects of the 7th vial, which 
began to be poured out in 1848, and will continue 
to be felt until 1867. He says, too, that some of 
those who scoffed and sneered at his announcement, 
when originally made, are beginning to see that it is 
probably true. Among his converts he numbers

THE COLD WAVE. During thee past year the 
Smithsonian Institution, through its extended sys-
tem of meteorological observations, has been ena-
bled to make some very curious investigations res-
pecting the three memorable cold days of January, 
1859. It was found that the cold of the three days 
above mentioned swept progressively over the coun-
try like a wave, coming down from the Arctic re-
gions and first entering the Territory of the United 
States at"the extreme Northwest among the Rocky 
Mountains. It was experienced at Utah some three 
days before it reached the banks of the Northern 
Mississippi, and was heralded by telegraph at Min-
nesota some two days before it reached Washington. 
At Buffalo it was some hours in advance of Boston, 
and was felt last on the Atlantic Ocean, where it 
appears to have disappeared. This cold wave also 
swept South in a most remarkable manner, and pro-
gressively appeared in Florida and other Southern 
States, and Mexico ; and the last pulsations, as it 
died away in this direction, were experienced in 
Central America and among the West India Islands. 
Taken all in all, it was one of the most remarkable 
meteorological phenomena ever noticed, and the 
facts collected seem to prove that the originating 
impulse came from the extreme Northwestern por-
tions of the American Continent. 
GREAT MEN. Homer was a beggar ; Plautus 
turned a mill ; Terance was a slave ; Boethius died 
in jail ; Paul Borghese had fourteen trades, Set 
starved with them all ; Tasso was often distressed 
for a few shillings ; Cervantes died of hunger ; Ca-
reens, the writer of the Lusiad, ended his days in 
an almshouse ; and Vangeles left his body to the 
surgeon to help pay his debts. In England, Bacon 
lived a life of meanness and distress ; Sir Walter 
Raleigh died on the scaffold ; Spenser died in want ; 
Milton sold his copyright of " Paradise Lost" fur 
75 dollars, and died in obscurity ; Dryden lived in 
poverty and distress ; Otway perished of hunger• ; 
Lee died in the streets ; Steele was in perpetual 
warfare with his bailiffs ; Goldsmith's Vicar of 
Wakefield was sold for a trifle, to s.tve him from the 
grasp of the law.

Claremont, N. H., Dec. 31, 1859. 
A sister, sending money to re-subscribe for the 
Herald, writes : " I prize it highly.—An old sub-
scriber revived." 
There are others who might be likewise revived. 
Shall they not be looked up ? The Herald may do 
them good. �

Sister Sarah H. Knight, of Harvard, in remem-
bering the Advent Herald, and the wants of the A. 
M. A., writes : " Still wishing you prosperity from 
the Lord, and praying he will direct and give suc-
cess to all your plans for carrying out the whole 
gospel truth." 
From Bro. ,Famuel Dolloff. 
Bro. Bliss :—The Herald still comes to us a wel-
come messenger, ladened with many good things ; 
and though we cannot endorse everything, yet we 
like its general course. 
Derby Line, Vt. 
From Bro. T. B. Carpenter. 
Bro. Bliss :—I love the truths advanced in the 
Herald ; and although not a member of the Advent 
church, I have taken a great interest in the advance-
ment of its interests and well-being. I hope that 
those great fundamental truths,—the resurrection, 
Christ's second coming, and the new heavens andl 
new earth, may have a prominent place in its col-
umns. 
The Advent church established here by Bro. Chap-
man in 1853 is very much scattered and disorganiz-
ed, and they need a pastor ; for the ihfluence of the 
church, while organized, was felt by many outside 
of its limits. 
I have taken the Herald for five years, and should 
miss its weekly visits. Sincerely yours, 
T. B. CARPENTER. 
Freeland, Ill. 
From Bro. John Murray. 
Dear Bro. Bliss �
have not forgotten you in 
your labors of love. I cannot do without the Herald. 
It is all the advent preaching we have in this place, 
and in its weekly visits, it comes richly laden with 
choice food for the hungry soul. With what eager-
mess do we feast upon its pages through the week ! 
I shall send in my mite as the Lord shall prosper me 
for the A. M. A. Yours in hope of eternal life. 
West Epping, N. H., Jal..7th, 1860. 
From Dr. L. Kimball. 
Bro. Bliss :—I have taken the Herald for over 17 
years ; and I am not willing to part with it, so long 
as I can pay for it. I have kept nearly an unbrok- 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of the Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to be considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as eisentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
From Bro. C. Greene. 
Bro. Bliss :—The Herald has been, and is conduc-
ted in a wise, judicious manner, and will get a pa-
tient and prayerful perusal, from every sincere Bible 
student, into whose hands it may chance to fall. 
Its course has a tendency to relieve us from that 
mountain weight of prejudice, which has been heap-
ed upon us, by sincere believers, whose peculiar 
faculty has been that of defeating the very object 
they ardently desired to accomplish. 
This is no new idea to you ; for, like the vane 
on the lofty steeple, you feel all the winds that 
blow, and truly point in the direction they come. 
The Herald is not like a sudden flash of lightning 
at midnight, which startles you for a moment with 
its glare, and then leaves you, making the darkness 
more visible ; but it is like the steady, soft and mel-
low light of the morning, which gradually increases, 
more and more beautiful, until the glorious orb of 
day beams upon us in its noontide splendor. 
That the Herald may " hold on the even tenor of 
its way," is my humble prayer. When you need 
farther assistance for the A. M. Association I hope 
to be able to render you some aid. 
Affectionately yours, �

From Sister H. P. Buttrick. 
Dear Bro.:—My heart says, praise the Lord, 
as I read the result of the effort on the part of our 
friends to relieve the embarrassment of the A. M. A. 
Feeling also a deep interest, that those who are 
endeavoring to preach the gospel, should come to 
the knowledge of the second, personal, speedy com-
ing of Jesus, I take notice of every thing of that 
kind, and was much interested in the account in 
Bro. Himes' journal. A letter from Bro. Chapman 
which I received yesterday, contains also a deeply 
interesting account of a Baptist minister, with 
whom I had a recent interview, who has also em-
braced these truths. He will probably give it in 
the Herald in sue time. 
There have been several times of late when the 
Lord has given sue much encouragement in regard en file during the whole of that time. I like the 
to holding up these truths. To Him be all the praise. 1Herald—its management, spirit and contents, gen-

L. KIMBALL. 
Nashua, N. H., Jan. 12, 1860. 
From Bro. J. D. Wheeler. 
Dear Bro. Bliss :—I have been a constant reader 
of the Herald for I think, 18 years. I love to read 
its pages still. It has been all the Advent preaching 
I have heard since I came to Wisconsin—almost 2 
years. I cannot do without it. I love its truths ; 
for it is meat in due season. I hope and pray, and 
believe it will be flying (like Elijah's raven) laden 
with meat in due season to the lonely pilgrim, till 
Jesus comes. 
I have often wished some of God's faithful servants 
would come to this city and sound the alarm before 
Jesus comes. As I have the past year or more, pass-
ed through its streets once, and for the most of the 
time twice a day—Sundays excepted—and hear and 
see the wickedness, I often think on the cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrah. I think there are some 80 
places where liquor is sold, and more than half as 
many gambling saloons. Three or four orthodox 
churches, and out of about 8000 inhabitants, not 
one eighth of them attend church. I sometimes go to 
the Methodist, and occasionally to the Presbyterian 
meetings. Some of their preaching is well enough ; 
but, as Bro. W. C. Cooley wrote me from Iowa, it is 
not our kind. We had formerly been privileged to 
hear Bro. Shipman at Sugar Hill, whil, with all 
God's faithful children, I hope to meet in the king-

that I was not doing. I asked for evidences in re-

I think we have more to encourage us as a people 
here than for some time—fur which we praise the 
Lord. Remember us in your prayers, that the whole 
truth may have free course, in these wicked cities, 
and where so many professing Christians take no 
interest in a coining Savior. Yours truli.,

Brooklyn, Jan. 10, 1860. 
From an Aged Minister. 
Sylvester Bliss :—Dear brother :—Almost ever 
since the Advent Herald has been published, I have 
read it with the utmost degree of pleasure and pro-
fit ; but as I am one of that class that the blessed 
Jesus said, " ye have always with you," and as I 
am so far advanced in life (75 years this day), and 
so broken down that I have been able to preach but 
a few times for the last three years, and no possible 
way to get money, I must now give up the privil-
ege that I have enjoyed so long. I am loth to say 
it, but I must give up the reading of the very best 
religious periodical, one that has given me the most 
comfort with the least pain, of any religious paper 
that I ever read. For several years, it was sent to 
me by the donation of a friend, and after that friend 
failed to send it, I have given one dollar a year for 
several years ; but now I am not able to even do so 
much as that. So, dear brother, you will have to 
erase my name from your list of subscribers at the 
close of this volume,and I must say to you dear bro-
ther, farewell ; and farewell, dear Advent Herald. 
Yours with the expectation of soon seeing Jesus,

Bro. Bliss—Sir :—I feel interested in reading the 
pages of the Herald and hope it will be sustained 
and made a swift messenger in proclaiming the ever-
lasting gospel of the kingdom of heaven at hand, 
that the saints may be comforted and established in 
the truth of the present age. May sinners, also hear; 
and so hear, that their souls may live. May the 
Lord bless you and.give wisdom to edit the paper so 
as to feed the children of the kingdom with meat in 
due season, and faithfully warn the world to flee the 
wrath to come, by embracing the truth as it is in 
Christ. 
I am more and more convinced that we are right 
as to the interpretation of prophecy concerning the 
kingdom on the earth renewed. May the Lord pre-
pare us to work in his vineyard and to be ready at 
his coming, is the prayer of the least of all his chil-

ED. 
From Bro. J. B. Adams. 
Bro. Bliss :—Believing that you are willing to im-
part information to the sincere enquirer after truth, 
I take the liberty to address you upon a subject which 
has been much discussed, but never, I believe, defin-
itely settled. 
Please give your opinion (sustained by Divine 
truth) upon the existence of the spirit after the 
death of the body. If, as some assert, it.ceases to be 
until the resurrection, with what propriety could 
Jesus give such instruction to his disciples as found 
in Matt. 10:28? The word soul, there used, is evi-
dently the same as spirit in Luke 23:46, and Acts 
7:59, as also in Ps. 31:5. We believe, according to 
the testimony, that Jesus Christ was the Son of God 
and also, for the time being, his body was delivered 
to the will of his enemies. 
But I ask, was his Spirit, or did his Father com-
ply with the request, as found in Luke 23:46 ? I 
also ask if the souls or spirits of the disciples in those 
days were not subject to death by man, though he 
might kill the body, how the spirit of any man can 
cease to exist at death? 
These questions are not asked for speculation or 
controversy ; but to glean truth from the Divine re- 
we are the children of God we are such by faith in 
a crucified, risen Savior, and by complying with the 
commands as laid down in the Divine chart for our 
instruction and obedience. 
Yours truly, seeking for truth, not mixed with er-
ror, but the plain, unvarnished word of our God.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla 
A compound remedy, in which we have labored to 
produce the most effectual alterative that can be 
made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsa-
parilla, so combined with other substances of still 
greater alterative power as to afford an effective 
antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to 
cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted 
by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and 
that one which will accomplish their cure must 
prove of immense service to this large class of our 
afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this com-
pound will do it has been proven by experiment on 
many of the worst cases to be found of the follow-
ing complaints : - 
SCROFULA AND SCROPITLOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUP-
TIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, 
BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, 
SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AFFECTIONS, MERCURIAL 
DISEASE, DROPSY, NEURALGIA OR TIC DOULOUREUX, 
DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPE-
LAS, ROSE Olt ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the 
whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY 
OF THE BLOOD. 
This compound will be found a great promoter 
of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the 
foul humors which fester in the blood at that sea-
son of the year. By the timely expulsion of them 
many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. 
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare 
themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions 
and ulcerous sores, through which the system will 
strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to 
do this through the natural channels of the body 
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated 
blood whenever you find its impurities bursting 
through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; 
cleanse it when you find it is obstructed and slug-
gish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is fou, 
and your feelings will tell you when. Even where 
no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better 
health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. 
Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with 
this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no 
lasting health. Sooner or later something must go 
wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered 
or overthrown. 
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputa-
tion of accomplishing these ends. But the world 
has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, 
partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue 
that is claimed for it, but more because many prep-
arations, pretendinc, to be concentrated extracts of 
it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or 
any thing else. 
During late years the public have been misled 
by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Ex-
tract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these 
have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only 
contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no 
curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and 
painful disappointment has followed the use of the 
various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the 
market, until the name itself is justly despised, and 
has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. 
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend 
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name 
from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And 
we think we have ground for believing it has vir-
tues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of 
the diseases it is intended to cure. In order to 
secure their complete eradication from the system, 
the remedy should be judiciously taken according 
to directions on the bottle.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral 
has won for itself such a renown for the cure of every 
variety of Throat and Lung Complaint, that it is en-
tirely unnecessary for us to recount the evidence of its 
virtues, wherever it has been employed. As it has long

IATHITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way of 
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, Ac. Ac., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best combination 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, chafings, Ac., and also for sore teats on 
cows. It cures felons. It cures warts. 
Mrs. Glover, East Merrimack street, Lowell, was cured 
of a bad case of piles by the use of one box of the Salvo. 
Mr. Farrington, a wealthy merchant and manufacturer 
of 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. IL, says: "I 
have been afflicted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though

THE ADVEN T HERALD �

this world, and spend money for needless things. I 
often contrast the past and present, and see how far 
many are from what they once were. When we 
look back and see the self-sacrificing spirit manifest 
in former days, and then look at the present, and see 
how worldly-minded and conformed to the world 
many are, it is not to be wondered at that the cause 
of truth and Christianity is so low. It isbecause its 
professed advocates have sunk into the spirit of the 
age in which we live, and thus prefer the party of 
pleasure to the prayer circle,-having become" Lov-
ers of pleasure more than lovers of God"-having 
form of godliness, &c. 
I like much that article in the Herald of Jany. 7, 
onthe three-fold Cord. �
I wish the same self-denial 
was practiced among us that existed in days past. 
How will the professed church appear, if found with 
hearts set on things of the earth? 
If our hearts are not on needless things, we shall 
not indulge in them. Some say that many shoot at 
the feathers, but not at the bird. Not so : we know 
what is inside by the sign that is hung out. I know 
that if you remove the cause, the effect will cease. 
Extract the root, and the top will die. Starve pride 
and it dies. �
We shall want to be just right when 
the Lord comes. Be not deceived ; God is not mock- 
ed. Yours in hope, �
D. W. S. 
Derby Line, Vt. 
A Brother who writes for another Bro. to stop the 
Herald says: 
"It is not because he don't like it ; for it has been 
very comforting and interesting to him the many 
years he has taken it. His eye sight has failed, so 
that he can read but little. He is 95 years old. His 
health is good, for one of his age." 
From Bro. Amos Fox. 
Dear Bro. Bliss :-I shall not fail to pay for the 
Advent Herald, so long as I am permitted to remain 
in this unfriendly world. We are very anxious to see 
and read its contents every week. �
I have read the 
paper in all its forms since it was first printed, and 
I think it no less instructing now than at first. I 
would be glad to do more towards its support, and 
perhaps I may hereafter. 
Derby Line, Vt. 
From Bro. A. H. Brown. 
Dear Bro. Bliss :-I have been very much interest-
ed in your editorials of the last few months ; and to 
my mind they present a most glorious state of things 
to be enjoyed by all the faithful in the new earth. 
That you may be sustained in the good work is my 
earnest prayer. 
From Bro. E. W. Mead. 
Bro. Bliss :-I have been the patron of thellerald 
from its commencement. I believe I have ever re-
garded it as a reliable religious paper, and do so 
still ; but the sands of life are nearly run out with me. 
My best regard for your prosperity in advancing the 
cause of Christ through its columns, and for all who 
love the appearing and coming of the Lord. Yours 
in the bonds of the Gospel, 
E. W. MEAD. 
Norwalk, Huron Co. Ohio, Jan. 16, 1860. 
ed ! They have preceded us in the warfare, but they 
receive not the crown sooner than we. �
The Lord 
does no 'wrong to them, but yet He does honor to us. 
They cheerfully wait for their brethren ; for we are 
all one body, and therefore this body enjoys a greater 
glory, if all are crowned in common and not apart 
by itself. It is characteristic of the righteous to re-
joice over the happiness of their brethren in like 
manner as over their own ; and it is exactly after 
their mind to be crowned in connection with their 
members, for to be glorified together is great blessed-
ness." 
C. P. Dow. 
SILENcE.--Silence is often an important virtue. 
Perhaps ninety per cent. of what is spoken is useless, 
and the greater part of that worse than useless. 
" A word in season, how good is it !" Zeno, of 
all virtues made choice of silence. �
Solomon says, 
" In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin ; 
but he that refraineth his lips is wise," Prov. 10: 
19. " A fool's voice is known by the multitude of 
words," Eccle. 5:3. The Savior says, " Every idle 
word that men shall speak, they shall give account 
thereof in the day of judgment" Matt. 12:36. Paul 
says, " Let no corrupt communication proceed out 
of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of 
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hear- 
ers" Eph. 4:29. �
James says, " Let every man bo 
swift to hear, slow to speak." " If any man among 
you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue 
but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is 
vain," James 1:19,26. 
We read in the Old Testament, " Thou shalt not 
go up and down as a talebearer among thy people," 
Lev. 19:16. " He that goeth about as a talebearer 
revealeth secrets" Prov. 19:16. " The words of a 
talebearer are as wounds" Prov. 18:8. " Where 
no wood is, there the fire goeth out ; so where there 
is no talebearer the strife ceaseth," Prov. 26:20. 
The New Testament mentions " tattlers and busy-
bodies, speaking things they ought not," as injuri-
ous persons. 
It is an aphorism in common use, that the less we 
say, the less we have to mend. �
Our words should 
be few and well chosen. 
R. H. 
To Churches and Brethren abroad :-I acknow-
ledge the receipt of your invitations to visit both 
old and new fields of labor, and help you by the 
proclamation of the good news of the kingdom at 
hand ; but while I greatly appreciate the least fav-
orable notice from old personal friends, and espe-
cially the friends of the Advent cause, I am sorry 
that I am obliged to say No, at present. The church 
in Boston has bean much weakened, and nearly ru-
ined, for want of pastoral labor, during the year 
or more preceding my resumption of the active pas-
torate ; and having rallied in a new effort, with the 
aid I could give them, it would not only be unjust 
for me to leave them, under such circumstances, but 
disastrous. If God opened the door, I should de-
light to be among you again, and aid in promoting 
your welfare-especially that of the tried, isolated 
ones, who have sacrificed so much for the Advent 
faith. Do not, therefore, think you are forgotten. 
You have my prayers for your welfare, and for your 
success in every conflict. I could never adopt the 
language of the weeping Jews in Babylon with more 
truth and deep emotion than now : " If I forget 
thee, 0 Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her 
cunning ; if I do not remember thee, let my tongue 
cleave to the roof of my mouth ; if 1 prefer not Je-
rusalem above my chief joy." 
I shall be glad, as heretofore, to hear from my 
old fellow-laborers and friends. A word from 
such-even but a word-is cheering. 
J. V. Him. 
Boston, Jan. 16, 1860. 
OBITUARY. 
 
DIED, at Epping, N. H., Dec. 12th, 1859, NANCY 
HAYES, aged 59 years. 
Although a great sufferer she was happy in the 
Lord. As I stood by her bedside the day before she 
died she said to me, " Oh, Bro. Murray, I have shed 
my last tears ; it is all glory now, I am going home 
to die no more ; but I must take a short nap in the 
grave before Christ comes." 
She leaves an aged mother, and one sister and 
brother, to mourn her loss : but they mourn not 
like those that have no hope. For they expect to 
meet her again, at Christ's appearing and kingdom. 
" Let others seek a home below, 
Which flames devour or waves o'erflow ; 
Be mine the happier lot to own 
A heavenly mansion near the throne. 
" Then fail this earth, let stars decline 
And sun and moon refuse to shine ; 
All nature sink and cease to be ; 
That heavenly mansion stands for me. 
I'm going home, I'm going home to die no more." 
JOHN MURRAY.

Listen to Apostolic teaching : " I am now ready 
to be offered, and the time of my departure is at 
hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished 
my course, I have kept the faith : henceforth there is 
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the 
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that 
day : (see the first verse,) and not to me only but 
unto all them also that love his appearing." 2 Tim. 
4:6-8. 
See also the following : " And these all having ob-
tained a good report through faith, received not the 
promise : God having provided some better thing 
for us, that they without us should not be made per-
fect." lieb. 11:39,40. 
Let us here introduce a portion of the homily of 
Bishop John, of Constantinople, generally known 
as Chrysostom, or Goldmouth, because of the many 
golden words which he addressed to the church.-
Among them we have the following, on the text last 
quoted : 
" Still they had not received it, still they waited 
for it, and even after they had ended their life in 
such tribulation. �
So much time had passed after 
.their victory, and still they had not received it ! And 
should we already sigh that we stand yet in the con-
flict ? 
" Remember what is said, that Abraham and the 
Apostle Paul, sit and wait, until thou art made per-
fect, that they may there also receive their reward. 
Until we come, has the Savior said, He will not give 
the reward to them ; just as a tender father would 
say to good sons who had finished their work : I will 
give you to eat when your brother also comes. And 
shall we complain, that we are not placed be-
yond the reach of calamity, that we have not attain- 
ed complete blessedness ? �
What should Abel say, 
who conquered before all,and has not yet been crown-

A PROPOSED PROTRACTED MEETING IN BOSTON. The 
church of Adventists worshipping in the chapel at the 
corner of Hudson and Kneeland streets propose to hold a 
protracted meeting, to commence on the first Sabbath in 
February and continue one or two weeks, every evening. 
The church is united in this matter, there is a good spirit 
among us, and encouragement to hope that this effort for 
the revival of God's work may be successful. I have de-
voted my time to the church for the last few months, with 
some good results ; but we are desirous of seeine
b 
 more 
done for the cause in this city, and for this tried church in 
particular. We have accordingly resolved on a protracted 
effort, and the Pastor and church have invited Elder Edwin 
Burnham, of Newburyport, Mass., to aid in the effort. 
Bro. B. has kindly consented to come, and devote his time 
and strength to the work. We shall stand by him, and 
hope that the Great Head of the Church will come with 
him, and give him many souls in Boston, as seals of his 
ministry. lye ask an interest in the prayers of all our 
brethren abroad, that God will at length send us prosperi-

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1860. 
OUR LAST NOTE. Two of the three Notes of $400 each, 
day to clay 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 snort 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.: " Your 
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 severe 
friends who have been cured of sctofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may recommend it from me as a val-
uable Salve." 
From Mr. Mdrris 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. 
" 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. H. 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 REMEDY.-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 man, 
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, 1859. 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. �

We risk the remark to the afflicted that WELLCOME'S 
GREAT GERMAN REMEDY, for colds, coughs, bronchitis, in-
flammation of throat and lungs, influenza, croup, phthisic, 
&c., is effecting greater cures than any other known reme-
dy in the New England markets. The various and nume-
rous cases it has cured have fully established its reputation 
wherever known, above all others. I have many such cer-
tificates as the following, and they are multiplying fast. 
From Eld. S. K. Partridge. 
Bro. Wellcome-I was badly afflicted with bronchitis 
and cough a long time, which threatened to prevent my 
preaching. I took Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and many oth-
er remedies, all to no effect. I finally obtained the Great 
German Remedy, which entirely cured me. I believe it 
the best medicine in use for such complaints, and other 
affections of throat and lungs. �

Whitefield, Me., Aug. 28, 1858. 
From J. Morrill, Druggist. 
Mr. Wellcome-I can furnish you four first-rate certifi-
cates of cures effected by your G. G. Remedy, after trying 
almost every thing else without effect. Send along three 
or four dozens more of each size. I can sell a large lot of 
it.

SOMETHING NEW AND VERY DESIRABLE !-
PEA RSON'S PATENT-RESPIRATORY COOKING-STOVE.-The 
superiority of this over every other Cooking Stove consists 
in the means by which we accomplish that most desirable 
end in Stove Cooking, viz. : A combination of 
1st, Roasting meats in currents of heated fresh air, pro-
ducing the same effects as roasting on a Spitjack, or in a 
tin kitchen before the open fire ; 
2d, The virtues of the Brick oven ; 
3d, The economy of the heat ; 
4th, An arrangement by which we heat the room in 
Winter, and dispense with heating it in Summer. 
Convinced by the working of the Stoves in use, the Pa-
tentee and the subscriber offer their new stove to the Pub-
lic, with entire confidence that it will fill a vacuum in gen-
eral house-keeping. Without fear, we proclaim it : Tins 
IS THE ONLY STOVE WHICH COMBINES THE TRUE PHILOSOPHY 
OF COOKING. Patented Oct. 26, 1858.

Providence, R. I. 
William Fox, of Nottingham, was one 
of the true old school of- Friends. His 
sympathy for the poor was excited by serv-
ing in the office of overseer : and, seeing 
how poor some were who had to pay the 
poor-rates, he resolved to economize the 
parish funds, and thus prevent their mise-
ries as much as possible. It was the cus-
tom then, in many of he parishes, for the 
overseer and committee who attende
d �
the 
weekly payment of the paupers to have a 
good dinner at the close of the day's la-
bor, and this was paid for out of the poor-
rates ; but as it was a manifest abuse, he 
determined to put an end to the practice. 
He therefore hastened away, before the 
close of the weekly payment, to the din-
ing-room, and thus addressed the master 
of the workhouse: 
" Is the dinner ready T' 
" Yes, sir." 
" Then bring it in." 
" Are the gentlemen ready, sir T' 
" Never mind the gentlemen ; I say, 
bring it in." 
And this was done. �
, 
Si Now call all the poor people, sir; now 
call all the poor people. Dost thou not 
hear what I say, sir`?" 
" This dinner is for the gentlemen." 
" For the gentlemen ! Oh ! who pays 
for it,. then ? do the gentlemen ?" 
The workhouse master, staring most 
amazedly, said, " Why, no, sir, I reckon 
not; it is paid for out of the poor-rates." 
" Out of the poor-rates ! To be sure it 
is ; thou art right. Poor rates-oh ! I think 
we have no gentlemen's rates ; so fetch in 
the poor at once, and work quick." 
The workhouse master went, and Wil-
liam Fox went, too, to see that he did as 
he was ordered, and not to give the alarm 
to the gentlemen ; and in a few seconds 
were hurried in a host of hungry paupers 
who had not for years set eyes on such a 
feast as that. They di] not wait for a 
second invitation to place themselves at 
the table; and at once there was a scene 
of activity that, for the time it lasted, jus-
tified the name of the house. It was a 
workhouse, indeed. William Fox all the 
time stood cutting and carving, and hand-
ing good piece's of pudding and meat to 
such as could not get seats ; and in a few 
minutes there was a thorough clearance of 
the table. Scarcely had William Fox dis-
missed his delighted company, when ano-
ther company presented themselves ; and 
these were the gentlemen, who stood in 
amazement. 
" Why," exclaimed they, " what is this? 
Why is the table in this state? Where is 
the dinner T' 
" I found a very good dinner ready; and, 
as I know that none but the poor have a 
right to dine out of the parish funds, I 
have served it out to the poor accordingly. 
But if any one of you is in want of a din-
ner, he may come home with me,' and I 
will give him one.'' 
The gentlemen knew well the character 
they had to deal with, and never attempt-
ed to renew the practice of dining at the 
public charge during William Fox's year 
of office. 
WELL ALL MEET IN THE MORNING."- 
Such was the exclamation of a dying 
child, says the Newark Mercury, as the 
red rays of the sunset streamed on him 
through the casement. " Good by, papa, 
good by ! Mamma has come for me to 
night ; don't cry, papa ; we'll all meet 
again in the morning !" 
It was as if an angel had spoltn to that 
father, and his heart grew lighter under 
the burden, for something assured him 
that his little• one had gone to hint who 
said, "Suffer little children to come unto 
me, for of such is the kingdom of heav-
en." There is something cheerful and in-
spiring to all who are in trouble in this, 
" We'll all meet again in the morning." 
It rouses up the fainting soul, like a trum-
pet blast, and frightens away the dark 
shades thronging the avenues of purer life. 
Clouds may gather upon our paths-dis-
appointments gather around us like an ar-
my with banners, but all this cannot des- 
How TO PRAY. A very great English 
statesman was about to die. He had serv-
ed his king well, but he had riot thought 
of the safety of his soul ; he had not serv-
ed the King of kings. When he was go-
ing to die he sent for a learned marl, who 
had been his teacher when he was young, 
and he said to him, " what shall I do?" 
" You must pray," said his pious friend. 
"I do not know how to pray," said the 
sick man. He niade a sign to show that 
lie wished to write something; but before 
pen and paper could be brought to him he 
was no longer able to write. And then he 
died. 
In a far distant island, one of the islands 
of the West Indies, where missionaries 
have set up Sunday schools, a little boy 
came to the missionary and said he had 
lately been very ill, and that in his sick-
ness he had often wished that his minister 
had been with him to pray for him. "But 
Thomas," said the missionary, " I hope 
that you prayed." 
" Oh yes, sir." 
1' Did you repeat the collect that I taught 
you ?" 
" I prayed." 
" Well, but how did von pray ?" 
" Why, sir, I begged."

NOTICE OF THE LYRE. " Dear Bro. Hines : I have re-
ceived the Lyre, and looked it over, with Bro. Howland, 
our chorister, and others. We think it a very good work, 
and that it will be highly prized as containing a large col-
lection of our very best hymns and tunes. 
I. H. SHIPMAN." 
NOTE. 
I would remark, in reference to the Lyre, that, 
being a book of music, it was designed, originally, to ac-
company that excellent hymn boor, the Harp, and not to 
supercede it. It will be found a good companion to the 
Harp, and will, I trust, be thus used.

RECEIPTS, 
UP TO TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1860. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 971 was the closing 
number of 1859; 11To. 997 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1860; and No. 1023 is to the 
close of 1860. 
Notice of any failure to give due credit, 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
INFORMATION WANTED. 
On the 5th of January 1860 we received a letter from 
Wm. Riley, dated Dee. 19, 1859, Big Neck, Adams Co. Ill. 
enclosing two dollars to pay for Herald to Jan. 1, 1860, 
and requesting its discontinuance on account of the hard 
times. On referring to our hooks we find that Wm. Riley 
of that p!ace was credited on the 30th day of Dec., 1S59, 
$2.50 to April 1, 1810, and a direction theists be stopped; 
but the letter enclosing that we don't find. We therefore 
wish to enquire of Bro. Riley, if he sent money twice 
within a few days of each other �
Or will some other bro- 
ther inform us if he has sent $2.50 that has not been cred-
ited to him, and may by mistake have been cr. to Bro. 
We wait to hear, so that the right credit may be given.
