Rev. 12 : 11. )1 odi of movzoE J., , A person who died some years—ago, lived in the house of a pinyht504 ttylom he often communicated his ;lifit,rvliAg,ppprehensions.

Pin ,ng himself dy- I ing, he repeatedly sent for Ms friend to pray with him. He felt uneasy, and said, "Satan whispers that II have been a deCeiver, and shall die a hypocrite." He asked hiS friend to pray again with him, after which he cried, "The Lord is come ! Praise God, praise God !" He then lifted up both his handie which, from weakness, he could scarcely rise before, and several times repeated, "Victory, victory, victory, through the blood of the Lamb !" and expired with the un- finished ide'rdal on his lips. 7Iihe � , T � - said,—"Let no man deceive you by any means : for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be reveal- ed � whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming."-2 Thess. 2: 1-8. They believed Christ would come again, and so fiti they were right, hence Paul confirms their faith when he says almost at the commencement of the second epistle, "It is a righteous thing kith God to recompense tribulation to them that' trouble you, and to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ : who shall be punished with ever- lasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power ; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be ad- mired in all them that believe � in that day."—Chap. 1 : 6-10. But in bolding that his coming was imminent, that there was little or no interval between them and it, they were wrong, therefore the apostle in the third verse from the passage just cited resumes the subject and corrects their error. That Paul did not wish them to regard the coming of the Lord as an event of small moment is obvious from the fact that twelve times he refers to it in his two brief epistles to them.— See 1 Ep. 1: 10 ; 2 : 19; 3 : 13 ; 4 : 13.18 ; 5: 2, 23 ; 2 Ep. 1 : 6,10 ; 2 : 1.3, 8; 3 : 5. But, as the Rev. G. S. Faber remarks, what he want- ed them to understand was this : "that a tyran- nical and irreligious power, which he denomina- tes the man of sinoad the lawless one, should assuredly be tgypialed in its own appointed time, after there bad been' a great apostacy from the primitive faith. but before thc arrival of the day of Christ � that the coercing power of the Roman Empire, effectually prevented the revel- ation of this oppressive tyranny, but that when the coercing law cif the Roman Empire should be removed%o4 Lfte mIdsi, then the man of sin, no loner r9strained—by the strong arm of law, • but acOtiringllipredicted character of the law- lessOne, ty setting himself above all law, and by havin the laws and times given into his hands, sho � openly revealed." Novi ti; eighteen centuries have passed away since the prophecy was written, we are led to inq1ire, has this hinderance to the speedy arri- val of the day' of Christ and of "our gathering together unto him" been removed ? or in other words; has the mystery of iniquity, which was then at work, resulted in, the predicted apostacy, and has there emerged from, it an organized, ec- clesiastical power appropriately denominated, that man of sin? We do n'ettilegign to here give a minute ex- position oNie propitecy in question ; the reader will find this done by Bishop Newton, in his 22. Dissertation on the Prophecies, and by Dr. Cumming, in his Apocalyptic Sketches, 2nd se- ries, lectures 31 and 32 ; but we should say that according to the common current of Pro- testant interpretation, the lawless one was mani- fested-1one ages ago, and that in the Roman apostacy and Papal hierarchy are found the very character) tics and criminality which the Holy GINA has so accurately foretold. Bishop Newton says : "This apostacy, all the concurrent marks and characters will justify us in charging upon the Church of Rome," and "if the apostacy be rightly charged upon the Church of Rome, it follows of consequence that the man of sin is the Pope, not meaning this or that Pope in particular, 'but the Pope in general as the chief head and supporter of this apostacy. The apostacy produces him, and he again promotes the apostacy." Professor Gausseti Of Geneva, in an able lec- ture on Popery, remarks—"Rome is the Baby- lon of St. John ; the Pope the Man of sin, the Son of perdition,of whom-St. Paul speaks; and the Popeelom the 'little horn' of Daniel, and I can prove to you that this doctrine, professed by the Church of Christ for nearly twelve hundred years, wesioover disputed but in- times of unbe- i lief a4luke-waannnese." "In this: persuasion lay the strangtit,of tee Reformers ; ,this it was that upheld the language of Wickliffe, ,and gave to Luther Lis- boldness and his fcirce.

PAP, Dr. Gumming, the eloquent Scottish preacher of London, lung known as one of the most vigor- ous, consistent, and uncompromising foes of the papacy, says in a lecture on tnis subject deliver- ed in Exetes Hall in 1851,—"I believe, in com- mon with the most' eminent divines, that it des- cribes the Apostacy, and the apostacy the Church of Rome ;and I think the materials I have here are (so, truly illustrative of it, that, when you hear them,, you will say, that if they were put into the Hue and Cry, or announced in the Times newspaper, every detective policeman in London would instantly pounce upon the Pope, and say, 'That's the man !' I may mention that I have the sanction of almost all the best authorities for my interpretation. . The great Reformation al- most turned upon it. What says one of the ho' milies of the Church of England ? 'The Pope,' says the homily, 'ought to be call- ed the Antichrist and the successor of the Scribes and Pharisees, not Christ's 'Vicar and St. Peter's successor.' The Popes are worthily accouttted among the false prophets and the false Christs.' The Church of Scotland, in its Confession of Faith, which is adopted by most of the Presby- terian bodies that have separated from her say : 'The Pope is that man of sin and son of perdi- tion that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and against all that is called God,' The Irish Church, never behind band in its Protes- tantism, says most nobly in her ancient Confes- sion, Article 80, 'The Bishop of Rome's work and doctrines plainly discover him to be that man of sin foretold in holy Scripture.'"—Lec- ture, p. 18. Rev. E. Bickersteth remarks,—.,God having promised a blessing on the study pf the prophet- ic word; and many of the most eminent and hon- ored of God's, servants, after lengthened study, having for centuries come to the conclusion, that the man of sin describes the Pope, and Babylon, Papal Rome, it is in.the highest degree improb- able tat this interpretation should be erroneous. Tiliatever farther fulfilment may take place in the close of the mystery of iniquity, and in its final destruction, the past fulfilment has been such as to satisfy the general body of Protes- tants that this is a true interpretation : indeed Cressener in his 'Demonstrations of the Apocal- ypse' has shewn that Roman Catholic writers themselves furnish many testimonies that help this Protestant application of the prophecy.— Guide to the Proph. p. 137.

Wickliffe, Knox, Luther, Calvin, Beza, Tyndal, Fox, Jewell, and a host of others, but it is unne- cessary. "Antichrist," said Bishop Latimer, "is known throughout the world ;" all that remains, therefore, for us to do is to consider his fearful doom as couched in the words : "whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming." "If these two clauses," says Bishop Newton, "relate to different events, the meaning manifest- ly is, that the Lord Jesus shall gradually con- sume him, with the free preaching of his gospel, and shall utterly destroy him at his second com- ing in the glory of his Father. The former be- gan to take effect at the Reformation, and the latter will be accomplished in God's appointed time. 'The man of sin' is now upon the decline, and he will be totally abolished, when Christ shall come to judgment. The kingdom of false- hood and sin shall end, and the reign of truth and virtue shall succeed." But "if these two clauses relate to one 'and the same'event, it is a pleonasm that is very usual in the sacred as well as all oriental writings; and the purport plainly is, that the Lord Jesus shall destroy him with the greatest facility, 'when he shall be revealed from heaven (as the apostle bath expressed it in the preceding chapter) 'with his ighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance- on them that kuow not God, and that obey twist' the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.'"—Dissert. on Proph. Vol. IL pp. 106, 125. As eighteen hundred years have rinised away since iniquity was secretly working under the garb of Christianity ; as an extensive and awful apostacy has manifested itself in that 'Church whose holy "faith" was once spoken of oihrough- out the whole world" ; and as from that lipostacy • an ecclesiastical organization has emerged known as the Papal Hierarchy, whose long confirmed blasphemous assumptions, cruel perseeutions,and exact agreement with the prophetic Scriptures have led "the general body of Protestants" to regard it as the master-piece of Satan—"that man of sin, and son of perdition,"—we are cer- tainly authorized to expect that very soon the true Christ will come to destroy Antichrist. The Apostle placed but two events between the Church in Thessalonica and the Church glorified, namely, the "falling away," and the revelation of the man of sin—whose career and destiny he describes,—these were to fill up the interval be- fore the Lord should come, and if it is conceded that this hinderance has been removed, consis- tency requires that we believe the manifestation of the presence of Jesus to be near. Then will mystic Babylon be destroyed and give place to the holy city, the heavenly Jerusalem. This is obviously the next great event that lies before us. Man's day has nearly terminated, and the day of Christ will speedily dawn ; therefore, we can say as Rev. Charles Wesley does : "Yes, we know our Lord will come— Smite the Antichrist in Rome ; All his plagues and judgments pour, Earth accurst with fire devour. But the curse shall soon remove ; But the incarnate God of love Sitting on his throne, shall show Earth renewed is heaven below." Glorious indeed must that day be which brings, not only the destruction of the worst of foes, but also the deliverance of the excellent of the earth. Happy era! let it haste. � Psi f• ass-T; � ti-U zaith of thie Martyrs. . lo fict 1.114.; ,h101111110 � 0 � ; � w Titelmann was the most active of all the agents In the religious persecution at the epoch of which we are now treating, but he had been inquisitor for many years. The martyrology of the`lif6iii- ces reeks with his murders. He biiri4 for idle words or suspected thoughts ?litOtire waited, according to his frank conc'es'sion, o or deeds. Hearing once that a certain schoolmas- ter named Gelyn de Muter, of Audenarde, "was addicted to reading the Bible," he summoned the culprit before him and accused him of here- sy. � The school-roaster claimed, if he were guilty of any crime, to be tried before the judges o the town. "You are my prisoner," said Titel mann, "and you are to answer me, and none other " The inquisitor proceeded accordingly to catechize him, and soon satisfied himself of the schoolmaster's heresy. He commanded him to make immediate recantation. The schoolmas- ter refused. "Do you not love your wife and children ?" asked the demoniac Titelmann. "God knows," answered the heretic, "that if the whole world were of gold, and my own, I would give it all to have them with me, even had I to live on bread and water, and in bondage." "You have, then, only to renounce the error of your opinions." "Neither for wife, children, nor all the world, can I renounce my God and religious truth," answered the prisoner. Thereupon Titel- mann sentenced him to the stake. He was stran- gled and then thrown into the flames. In the next year Titelmann caused one Robert Ogier, of Ryssal, in Flanders, to be arrested to- gether with his wife and two sons. Their crime consisted in not going to mass, and in practis- ing private worship at home. They confessed the offence, for they protested they could not endure to see the profanation of the Saviour name in the idolatrous sacraments. They 'tioeli asked what rites they practised in their lki* house. One of the sons, a mere boy, answered, "We fall on our knees, and pray to God that he may lighten our heart and forgive our sins. We pray for our sovereign, that his reign rna'y be prosperous and his life peaceful. We also pray for the magistrates and others in authority, that God may preserve them all." The boy's simple eloquence drew tears even from the eyes of some of the judges ; for the inquisitor had placed the case before the civil tribunal. The father and eldest son were however 'con- demned to the flames. "0 God !" prayed the youth at the stake, "Eternal Father, accept the sacrifice of our lives, in the name of thy beloved Son." "Thou !lest scoundrel !" fiercely inter- rupted a monk who was lighting the fire, "God is not your father ; ye are the devil's children !" As the flames rose about them, the boy cried out once more, "Look, my father all heaven is opening, and I see ten hundred thousand angels rejoicing over us. Let us be glad, for we are dying for the truth." "Thou liest ! thou liest !" again screamed the monk ; "all hell is opening, and you see ten thousand devils thrusting you into eternal fire." Eight days afterwards the wife of a,ier and his other son were burned ; so that there was an end of that family."—Motley's Dutch Republic. From the New t foil Observer.

"Not willingly"—Since such creatures have no judgment, will most certainly be taken in this passage for natural inclination,accor ling to which the � hole nature of things is engaged in its own r-vation and perfection ; whatever, therefore pt under corruption suffers violence,if against will and -wit opposition and resistance of P � personifies the individual parts of theIrefla, d roduces them as endued with sense, � t � mtty fjel more ashamed of our stupidly, if we areskt elevated to higher hopes by the frail fluctuation of the world,which is pre- sented to our view. "But by reason of him"— He proposes an example of obedience in all crea- tures, which, as he adds, arises from hope : hence the readiness of the sun, moon, and all the stars, for their uninterrupted course ; hen the un- wearied obedience of the earth in yielding its fruits ; hence the unceasing agitation and motion of the air ; hence the promptitude and vigour with which the waters flow ; because God hath appointed each their particular parts : nor has he only ordered what he wished them to do by a ,preeiae and definite command, but has, at the same time, internally impressed upon them the hope of renewal. For the whole machine of the world would almost,e-very moment flow away, and be dispersed in that melancholy,- scattered, A . and dissipated state which followed the fall of Adam, and its individual parts would , faint, un- less they were propped and eupperted°b:ar'sorne other quarter. It would be very dishonorable that the earnest of the Spirits hould produce less effect in the sons of God than secret hidden in- stinct effects in dead creatures. Creatures,there- .. fore, although by nature they may be inclined to some ether object, yet, because it has been God's pleasure to make them subject to vanity, obey his command ; and, because he has given them a hope of a better condition, they support themselves in their vain state, delaying their de- sire until the freedom from corruption, which has been promised, shall be revealed. Paul at- tributes to them hope, by personification, as he before endued them with desire and aversion. "Because the creation itself also"—He shows how the creature is subject to vanity in hope, be- cause the time will indeed arrive when it shall be freed from it, as Isaiah testifies, and Peter also confirms with greater clearness. We may hence infer how horrible a curse we have merit- ed, since all innocent creatures from earth to heaven are punished in consequence of our vices; and our offence is the cause of' their labouring under corruption ; and the'condemnation of the human race is thus impressed upon heaven,earth, and all other creatures. Again, it hence ap- pears to how great an excellence of glory the sons of God are td 'be advanced, when all creatures will be called upon to magnify and illustrate its splendour.: Moreover, Paul does not understand that the creatures wiltbe-spartakers of the same glory with-thd stans'of God, but will participate in their own manuer,.a better state, becausn'the Creator of all will restore the present fatteii world to a perfeetthraft.

He gathered lessons of humility, wisdom, trust, from the corn, the lily, the raven. To him all things in nature seemed to suggest spiritual lessons. If they do not to us, I fear it is because we are less spiritually minded. And se• yet sometimes we observe them. There is one ir I have found of which I must tell you. , Iti itr s the parable of the limpet. Some of my readers know what they are, but others do not, and I must tell them. Limpets are a small shell-fish, that attach themselves to the rock of the ocean, where they are secure ; the mountain waves may lash at them, and the storm howl over waters ; the sky may be clear or frowning ; the � may lie placid, or wash with a mountainous giddiness of Wrath, it is all the same to the little limpet. The 'harm rock abides the Storm, and the pretty crea- ture, unconscious of its .weakness, all joyful,and thChightful of its firm repose, smiles,,at ,t49E yfry teMpest. slily lowers, and he fears ; the wind hewlsond he ri Jos Is there no rock for poor frail, mau? The trembles. The tempest mocks his pride ; the great sea entombs him ; far into its oblivion ge down hie largest vessels, his richest cargoes, his dearest frietids, his fondest hopes ; or if they es- cape the waters, there is ever upon land an en- tombing sea as fatal. To most of us it is a painful experience. Above, beneath, around us there is change, disappoint.. meet and decay. The eye can rest on no object f but we know it must pass away. The very rock - will not endure. the elements must melt. Eter- nity, shoreless, powerful sea, rolls on : monsen,t s by moment it beats away our foundations. Soon it will upheave all, and we drop away forever. Is there no eternal rock for man ? Has the Crea- tor benignly cared for the puny life of the lim- pet, giving it a repose, which to its brief existence is like an eternity, and yet given to us no sue security ? � .- Plain John dares not think this. He k whom he has believed. Jesus Christ is the ch. corner-stone, elect, tried, precious. He that lieveth,—stands upon, attaches himselfto, repos- es on this rock,—shall never be ashamed. We may not put our trust in horses, orshouses, in princes, nor in gold, not even in friends or in ourselves. This is weakness leaningon infancy, a falling temple anchoring itself to the sand. But Jesus, exalted above men and angels, is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the King of saints and the Lord of Lords. All power in heaven and in earth is his ; eternity is his, and he is the great strong rock of our salva- &din Here,these is a rest, a refuge, a sure hid- ing place froth the tempest. � eoulz-i The great care, then,-fer Plain John, indeed the great care- of allorholvould find eternal life, is to cling,to t49 Tqck, of our salvatio!n as the limpet cleaves to the rock of the ocean. •t',--' i bovil ,ogis � , .s, ,...s, i 1 � esmq A 1410 od in(thei ItlitintetiOn• 911'3d 9111 dl •"°i8u5dmlificibliN cAtviN. � in,u:nt,lo.,o 1 '-iir it hjnb "14l'. of or � e puses expectation � the creature ' ii, iiii iK lc mitriiii. of i) a e � 9. e ilpftp 1, lottthe sons of God.

Rom. 8:18-23. "For the earnest expectation of the creature" —Paul teaches us that an example of patience, which he exhorts us to attain, is to be met with in brute creatures themselves ; for, omitting all the various expositions, I thus understand the language of Paul : "There is no element, no part of the world, which touched as it were with a knowledge of the present misery, is not steadily fixed upon the hope of the resurrection." He proposes, indeed, twosaubjeets—all creatures laa bour, and yet are supported by hope—hence ap- pears the immense roward ef eternal glory,which can excite and carry,awAy, all things to the de- sire of such a blessing. Expectation of the crea- ture waiteth, though an uncommon expression, yet admits of a very appropriate sepse; for Paul intended to show thatuthea,preatures, bound un- der the influence of great anxiety, and suspended by a strong desire, expected the arriYA a that day which will openly present; tete9114.1iett the glory of the sons of Gqd,,, He mills it .the revel- ..aggen of the sons of God, when we shall be like igod, as John says ; for though we know we are the sons of God, yet it cloth net Appear what we shall be.

'"`Pnt'Sve litoVothaVt--He again repeats the same sentiment, that he may pass on to man, though whgt-i# '110W stated has the force'and forni of a conelusion. For because creatures are'subject to corruption, and that not from naf oral appetites, btit'God's appointment, and they have a hope' of putting off, at some future time, their corrupt state, it follows that they groan Like a woman with child, until they be delivered. This is a very proper comparison,. that we may cm conslition,but pass away with 4 giviift course, know the groaning he speaks of is not vain, use- • ase olothed in heavenly; glory. For he therefore attributes hope to creatures without aense,,that believers may open their eyes to the sight of an invisible life, although concealed in the present ,wprld under a state,of tough deformity. ,,t'For the crest}iit aubjeteP,Ao vanity"—Paul fleelares the design of the fapectation from the ooetrary ; for, since creatqw are now subject to corruption, they cannot lie renewed until the SODS of God are restored to a sound state ; and on this account, while they desire their own re- newal, look for the manifestation, of the heavenly kingdom.

Creatures, in fine, are neither content with their present condition, nor do they so suffer as to pine away without reme- dy ; but bring forth, because they wait for a re- expectatiOn of future blessedness, as to overcome by their magnanimity, all present troubles, not considering their character and situation in this world, but their future glory and excellence. We which have the first-fruits--I am by no means pleased with the interpretation of those who explain first-fruits to mean, a rare and dis- tinguished excellence, and, to avoid all ambigui- ty, I have preferred beginnings, as the best trans- lation. For I do not consider it spoken of the apostles alone, as these commentators, but of all the faithful, who, being sprinkled in this world with Only a few drops of the Spirit, or after hav- ing made great progress, being endowed with a certainmeasure of his .grace, certainly continue to be still a great distance from perfection. These - are the beginnings, or first-fruits of the apostle, to which the entire and complete returns are op- posed. For we need not wonder at our being moved with trouble, and disquieted because we have not yet the Spirit bestowed upon us in his fullness. Paul repeats ourselves, and adds, in ourselves, for effect, that he may express our de- sire in a more ardent manner. He mentions, also, groans, as well as desires, because where a sense of misery is felt, groaning necessarily fol- lows. Waiting for the adoption—Adoption is here termed improperly,but not without the very best reason, the enjoyment of the inheritance into which we have been adopted. For Paul means, the eternal decree of God (by which he hath chos- en us to himself for sons before the foundation of the w?rld, concerning which also he affords us witnesses by the gospel, and seals the faith of it on our hearts by the Spirit) would be useless and vain, unless the promised resurrection,which is its effect, was certain and undoubted. Calvin's Com. on from. The Beginning of the End. The Memphis Appeal of the 18th instant con- siders the situation of the rebels in the follow- ing serious language : "We desire to call the attention of planters to the importance of an early subscription in flour and corn meal for the use of our army. The Confederate Goverement purchased in May last an immense quantity of flour and stored it at this place, but the, supply is now entirely ex- hausted. Unless the planters of West Tennes- see, North Alabama and Mississippi, come for- ward and subscribe flour and meal, taking Con- federate bonds in payment, our brave boys in the field will soon be without bread. Let each planter indicate to the Commissiary Department at this place, by mail or through his commission mere � , w at quantity he is willing to sell to I panth the Government for their bonds, and let them send it forward immediately. There are five mills in operation here capable of grinding bushels daily, to which the planters can send and have it ground and barreled, transportation. The near approach of the autumnal season, and the almost certainty of the continuahce of the war, suggests not only the propriety but the necessity of supplying our troops in the field with warm clothing and warm covering. It will not probably be within the power of the govern- ment to do this, and much necessarily depends upon individual effort. On this subject the fol- lowing suggestions of the West Tennessee Whig most feasible and practicable we have preparations for the drafting of troops, our in- formant concluded it was about time to make the sacrifice of his means, which he had so long deferred in hopes of an ultimate settlement of our national troubles,and by a process, which we do not deem it prudent here to mention, made his way to the Northern States, seeing at Louis- ville the old United States flag for the first time in many months. At Memphis business of all kinds is suspend- ed, except that pertaining to army supplies, transportation of troops and war munitions. Re- gular trade upon the river to the South is kept up to a limited extent, the principal down car- goes being flour ground by the Memphis steam mills. The Western Foundry at Memphis is turning out a very inferior quality of iron six- pounders for light batteries,and the cannon balls cast there are very uneven and irregular. The chain story of Gen. Pillow is true in its every particular ; in fact, his entire system of defenses of Memphis was ridiculed and made the byword, until councils voted to remove the ob- structions to the streets of the city, and Pillow's cotton bale barricades and forts vanished. They are badly off for officers in the valley of the Mississippi, and military matters are pretty thoroughly mixed. Major General Polk has very little weight—is all fuss and gas—and peo- ple are very tired of his presence. The stock of goods are running very low, as may be supposed, through the entire South. They will soon be badly off for boots and shoes. Drug stocks are particularly broken, and the very item of salt— or the want of it rather—is likely to put them to their trumps. It cannot be smuggled in any quantity in trunks, as quinine or percussion caps, but big ships must log along and run the blockade in order to be of any benefit. If the blockade be perfected they will suffer beyond en- durance for salt alone. About two thousand five hundred men from the North left Memphis at the outbreaking of the troubles, and as they made up the active portion of the business community, the city is flat enough. The monument to Gen. Jackson, in the public square at Memphis, and which was erected by the citizens of Memphis, in remembrance of their distinguished statesman, is daily giving them the lie to the secession doctrine,by the boldly chisel- ed inscription on its pedestal—cut in the solid granite by their own order, to perpetuate the great principles of their immortal Jackson—'The Union must and shall be preserved.' " Horrible Tragedy at Sea. The barque Czarina, of Boston (late Dwyer, master,) arrived at this port yesterday morning. She was from Cronstadt June 24, and Elsinore July 5. She was brought here in charge of Mr. Serritt, first officer of the barque B. D. Met- calf. On the 30th of July, at 3 o'clock in the morn- ing, while asleep in his state-room,Captain Dwy- er was attacked by his first officer (Mr. Cur- tis) and instantly killed with a hatchet. About an hour afterward, Curtis attacked the second mate (Mr. Camwett of Boston), with the same weapon, and murdered him. The crime was committed on deck. On the afternoon of the next day, (the 31st) Curtis shot the carpenter off the jib-boom. Immediately after this last atrocity, Curtis ran aft and shot one of the sea- men, named John Livingston, whom he killed instantly. He also at the same time fired at Mr. Alexis Treskofskey, a passenger, the ball grazing the man's right shoulder. Curtis was thereupon attacked by the crew, who beat him so badly the he died at 7 o'clock the same evening. An hour previous to his death the Czarina was boarded by the barque Harlequin,which ob- tained the prrticulars of the above affair, and proceeded on her course. On August 3 the Czarina was boarded by the B. D. Metcalf, from which vessel she obtained a navigator, Mr. Serritt, who brought her to Bos- ton. The mate, after killing Capt. Dwyer, destaoy- ed all the ship's papers. The steward was the only American left on board after the tragedy, the crew having all been shipped in Cronstadt. The telegraphic announcement of the tragedy which appeared in the morning papers, put the officers of the Harbor Police on the alert, and as soon as the Czarina arrived she was boarded and all on board brought ashore. The vessel was then placed in charge of landsmen. The passenger and crew were subsequently ta- ken before the United States Marshall, where an investigation took place. STATEMENT OF JOHN SHAW. John Shaw, a seaman, was selected as the most intelligent of the crew,and told his story as follows ; I shipped in the "Czarina" at Havre; the name of the captain was Dwyer ; he went from Bos- ton ; the first mate was an Irishman named Cur- tis who joined the vessel at Queenstown, Ire- land ; the third mate was named Emmeth ; the crew numbered ten, all but four of whom shipped at Cronstadt, where we took on board a Russian ' passenger ; on the first day we left Cronstadt, the twenty-second day of June, were the first indications of trouble in a quarrel between the captain and mate about the management of the vessel ; the captain had used all his hands well and was liked by all, but all of us feared the mate, who treated us badly ; had no trouble un- til the 15th of July, when the captain and mate had another quarrel at the supper table, and the captain called all hands aft to put the mate in irons ; the mate had drawn a revolver on the captain and said, "Go away from me ; let me alone, I am a desperate man ;" he said he would shoot the first man who dared touch him ; the mate was not ironed. The difficulty between the captain and himself was settled by themsel- ves. The next trouble was on the morning of the 30th of July ; I went to the wheel at 4 o'clock and about half-past 4 saw the second mate on deck drunk ; the first mate was also on deck with a bottle under his arm and a tin cup in his hand ; after the second mate became quiet, the mate called to a man named John to come for- ward with him ; the man obeyed, and the next I saw I of him he was overboard with a cut on his head from a hatchet ; all the watch had been sent below except myself and the steward ; I shouted "a man overboard !" and threw him the spanker sheet, which he caught ; the mate came aft with his hatchet and cut the sheet, saying, "You can go to hell with the captain." The mate then struck the second mate on the head with his hatchet, and with a revolver point- ed at them ordered the carpenter and another man to throw him overboard ; they obeyed ; both men swam after the ship for at least fifteen minutes, and the mate stood on the house laugh- ing at them ; the vessel was going about two miles an hour at the time ; the mate said to me "you need not be .afraid, I am not going to hurt you yet ;" the rest of the watch were now on the quarter deck ; he made a cut at one man with his hatchet and missed ; he then struck at anoth- er and hit him in the hack ; to the carpenter who stood near he said "I shall not hurt you ; I want to use you ; you may go forward ;" the mate then set all hands to getting down the largest boat and fitting her out ; we got up the mooring chain- for ballast ; he told me he was going to leave the ship and set her on fire, and as for the crew they might go to hell with the vessel. At 2 o'clock he called for the men to come aft and throw the captain overboard ; four of us went down and brought him up ; he was lying in his berth with his head cut open ; his fingers were also cut ; I sewed him up in the bed clothes and we threw him overboard ; the mate called us all aft, and, standing on the house, said, "I am captain of this ship , and will shoot the first man who disobeys ; I would think no more of shooting one of you than of shooting a dog !" We were then set to work on the boat again,and got down a studding-sail boom for a mast. At dark we left work on the boat,and the mate assisted by one of the men, put us all in irons, where we remained all night, except that two men were let out at a time to keep watch and work the ship. On the morning of the 31st we were at work on the boat again ; at 8 o'clock we newal at some future period. Their groaning their wheat together does not mean that they are, at the ready for same time, united with each other by mutual anxiety, but he joins them as companions with believers. The particle hitherto or until this day, is calculated to alleviate the weariness of their king-continued languor. For if the crea- tures have continued in their groanings for so many 'ages, how inexcusable will our effeminacy or indolence be, if we faint in the short course of so shadOwy a life. "Not only"—Some consider the apostle wish- ed to exaggerate the dignity of our future hap- piness, because all things desire it with an ar- dent affection, both irrational animals, and we who are regenerated by the Spirit of God. This opinion admits of defence, but he appears, I think, to institute a comparison between the greater and less in the following manner : "The elemetir, devoid of sense and reason, so great is the excellence of our future glory, glow with a certain' desire for its arrival ; much more then ought we, who are illuminated by the Spirit of God, to aspire and labour to the utmost for the purpose of attaining so great a quantity of good, both by the firmness of our faith, and the earn- est endeavours of our zeal." A two-fold feeling is required in believers,—to groan, being laaded with a-sense of their present misery, and still to expect with patience their deliverance. He a • wishes believers to be so much elevated by the are the seen : 'The supply of blankets in the stores are ex- hausted, and the possibility of supply from the North is cut off by the rigid non-intercourse of the war, while the blockading of our seaports cuts us off from all hopes of a reasonable supply by importation. How, then, it may be asked, are the wants of our soldiers to be supplied.? It can only be done by every family giving up a portion of the blankets they have for family use, to the soldiers, and supplying the deficiency thus created by making "comforts," out of cotton for their use. These comforts do well enough for persons in comfortable houses at home, where they are not exposed to the weather, and our people are expected to make use of them, and send their blankets to the soldiers. There is no time to be lost in doing it, either. Before many &re aware of it the cold nights of early autumn will be upon them, and what they do for the comfort of the soldiers, they must do quickly.'" The Montgomery Mail of the 17th, in consid- ering the fact that their supply of shoes at the North has been cut off, says the most stringent measures must be adopted to collect the large number of hides of the cattle and sheep slaughter- ed for home cousumption in the northern part of Alabama, which heretofore have been entirely lost or indifferently tanned. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel of the 18th, has an article on the question, "Why don't our army move forward ?" and attempts to give the causes why Beauregard and Johnston are not now in possession of the city of Wash- ington saying, among other things : "The sickness, from wounds and otherwise, in our Virginia army, is absolutely frightful, and the insufficiency and inefficiency of the Medical Department more frightful still. Only think of our noble boys suffering twenty-four hours after bat- tle without being seen, and then attended per- haps by men unfit for their office, and four days elapsing before the Department sent any lint or bandages to Manassa, when an abundance ought to have been there a month before the battle. They [Beauregard and Johnston] have done all they could, but they have wanted food, trans- portation and medical supplies, and a properly regulated medical staff. It is a shame that our men have been compelled to suffer so much by the inefficiency and incapacity of others. The killed at Manassas are far better off than the wounded, and even than many who were not wounded." The following extract from a letter written by an officer in the rebel army to his friends in South Carolina shows the condition of their Quartermaster's Department : "Dear Sir : I am instructed by Capt. John Condero to request of you to insert a notice in each of the daily papers of the city, asking our kind citizens to send for the use of his company any blankets which they have to spare, as none can be purchased in Richmond at any price, nor can they be procured from the Army Department. In fact, Richmond is entire- ly drained; we are not able even to procure tin cups or plates for our use." From a gentleman who resided in Western Tennessee for some years past the Philadelphia Inquirer gains the following particulars, show- ing the utter prostration of business in that State, and the desperate measures to which the rebels are obliged to resort : "No more volunteers can now be had in Ten- nessee,'and as the authorities have already made THE ADVENT HERALD. ADVENT HERALD. BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 7, 18G1. SYLVESTER BLISS, EDITOR. The readers of be 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 THE HERALD. 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 making the A. M. Association an efficient instrumentality for good. Correspondents, on matters pertaining solely to the office, should write " Office," on the envelope, to have their letters promptly attended to, if the editor be temporarily absent. To Correspondents. Short and appropriate articles, of one column or less, are solicited from those who have well digested thoughts to communicate. Any writer whose article or enquiry is not promptly noticed, will please to call the editor's atten- tion to the omission. " A Servant of the Church" would be more wel- come if his name accompanied his communication. Explanation. A portion of our subscribers will find their names printed on their papers, with numbers following their names ; and some of them may not under- stand the meaning of the last. We will explain : We are thinking of making arrangements by which the Herald will be directed, by printing the name and address of each subscriber instead of writing his or her name. And we are experimenting this week on a. part of our edition. If it shall work well, we shall apply it to our entire edition ; and we are of the opinion that it will. Should it do so, we shall explain in minute detail the whole process by which this is done, and the advantages to be gained by it. The number affixed to any name, indicates the number of the paper to which that subscriber has paid—though the number,if expressive of more than 1000, is abbreviated by the omission of the left hand one (1). Thus : The figures 023 indicate the num- ber 1023, and that the Herald is paid for to Janu- ary 1, 1861 ; if it is 049, it indicates 1049, and that payment is made to July 1, 1861 ; and if it is 075, it indicates 1075 and paymentto the end of the pres- ent yr. And so with larger or smaller Nos. so that whatever the figures are, prefix a one (1) to the left, and the number of the Herald to which payment has been made, will be expressed,—unless the left hand figure is a nine (9) in which case the figures are the whole number expressed. This will enable each subscriber to see weekly, to what number his or her Herald is paid ; and when a new payment is made, the change in the figures will show its reception, and to what number credit is given. This is the first paper to which this system of printing has been applied ; and we would advise our exchanges to defer adopting any other device, till we can give them our experience of its working —which will be soon. The advantage aimed at in this process, is the ability to address papers rapidly, by raised letters, made of an inexpensive material. Exposition of Daniels Prophecy. CHAPTER VII. THE EPOCH OF THE PAPAL SUPREMACY. Arriving at the conclusion that the "Time,times, and dividing of time," in Dan. 7:25, are expressive of 1260 days, and that these are representative of that number of years, the more probable epoch of their commencement becomes the next point of inter- est. This period, it will be observed, does not measure the duration of the "little horn's" existence, nor the continuance of his temporal power, but the time the saints are "given into his hand." Its epoch, therefore, is not necessarily that of the rise of the Papacy, nor of the Pope's attaining political sover- eignty ; but it began the era when the children of God became so subject to the Man of sin, that he saw a vessel astern ; the mate ordered all sail set to get away from her, and she was soon out of sight ; at two o'clock in the afternoon I heard a noise, and saw the mate running aft, with blood streaming from his head where the carpenter had struck him with a maul ; he turned and fired at the carpenter, who jumped over the bows on to the guard chains. As the carpenter put his head above the bulwarks the mate fired again, and the carpenter jumped overboard. One of the men struck the mate on the head with the hammer of an adze so that it went into his skull about two inches, and he fell on the deck. I put the wheel down and we hove the vessel to to save the carpenter, but he had sunk before we could reach him ; the passenger was also shot in the arm by the mate ; we then stood away tor a vessel that was in sight, which proved to be the British barque Harlequin of Glasgow for Montreal ; we stood across her bow with our col- ors Union down ; we hailed and told the cap- tain what the matter was, and asked him to come on board ; he said he could not leave the ship, but by our further request he sent his mate,who came on board in our boat ; I stepped on board the Harlequin ; the captain asked if we had a navigator on board ; I told him we had one man who knew a little about it, but not enough to take the vessel to port ; he said he could not spare any one from his vessel, but gave us the latitude and longitude, and pointed the course for us to pursue. The mate died at 7 o'clock that evening, not having spoken since he was struck. I searched him and found a pocket-book with $33 51 and three studs—all the property of the captain. For the next three days the vessel was navigated by one of our men, until we fell in with the Ameri- can ship B. D. Metcalf ; we hailed the ship and told them that our captain and second mate had been murdered and we had killed the first mate to save our lives ; he told us to send a boat,which we did, and his mate came on board and took charge of the barque to Boston ; there was no trouble on the remainder of the voyage.

An Incident in the life of Christ. 'Twas night ; deep, impenetrable night. The shepherd had folded his sheep ; the lowing herd had gathered themselves together, and lain down beneath the trees---all was still ! The weary la- borer had sunk to repose, and naught was heard, save the rustling of the wind on the distant hill. The sea of Galilee lay still and silent, not a rip- ple on its surface, as a few fishermen left the shore, and riding leisurely along dropped their net to gather some fish for their morning meal. In the stern of the vessel lay a man asleep ! Oh ! how sweet that countenance looked in re pose, and an expression almost angelic rested up- on those lovely features ; so calm, so meek, and yet so regal---he looked a King. Angels watch- ed over him, and the music of their golden harps sweetened the dreams of the youthful sleeper. The stirring zephyr wafted sweet perfume over the Tyberian sea, while the very poetry of na- ture seemed to surround that lovely form enwrap- ped in slumber as sweet as that of childhood. Suddenly a piercing blast is heard ! The ship reeled and shook like an aspen leaf ; the light- ning flashed ; the rain came pouring down in tor- rents ; the muttering thunder drew nearer and yet more near ; the billows rolled in maddening fury, and the waves like giant cliffs, came foam- ing into the ship. Amid it all the Master sleeps peacefully as an infant on its Mother's breast. The Disciples frantic with fear,fly to the sleep- ers side, crying, "Master, Master ! save us ! save us, Lord !" He calmly rose, and while an expression of majesty rested on his fair brow, rebuked the wind, and in a low, sweet voice com- manded, "Peace, be still !" The thunder grew fainter ; the wind went murmuring behind the hills ; the rain ceased to swell the torrent---there "made war with the saints and prevailed against them." In respect to this epoch, there have been among expositors diverse opinions ; which, instead of lead- ing any to reject all interpretations of the times, should only induce greater cautiousness in consid- ering, and more modesty in pronouncing upon a question of such moment. It is always of interest to learn the conclusions of writers of eminence,and the reasons governing them ; for it is only by considering differing views, and the argument for or against, that the position of any writer can be duly estimated. Amid the variety of opinions on this subject, a large number must be entitled 'to little weight,—they having been arrived at on insufficient evidence. Conclusions, often,seem to have been almost jumped at ; and yet many of such have attracted a large measure of interest. To present a comprehensive view of this question, our readers will be given the opinions, with the reasons leading to them, of the most prominent, with oth- ers of less note, of these who have made the days of Daniel and John a study, and who have thought to enlighten the world respecting them REv.J.Tvso, Baptist minister of W allingford Eng. a Pre-millennial writer,and author of "An Elucida- tion of the Prophecies," (London, 1839,) treats this period,—with the other periods of Daniel and John, including the "seventy weeks,"—as predictive of literal days yet to be fulfilled. He belongs to the school of writers in England, called "futurists." It is not proposed here to notice the authors of this class, nor those writers who make the days only lit- eral and fulfilled in the past, of whom there are now quite a number ; but reference is made to him because of the work referred to, which gives "A ta- ble of different dates fixed upon by different authors for the commencement and termination of the 1260 days," (pp. 78,9) ; to which there will be occasion to make frequent reference. His table gives only the names of the writers, oft- en only the last name, with the epochs they give ; and where he is unsupported by other authority, there can not be full confidence in his accuracy. In several instances, as will be seen, he is manifestly inaccurate, and Mr. Bickersteth says of his work: "There are several mistakes in it, and in the gener- al views held," Guide, p. 267, in v. 4 of Lit. Of the epochs assigned for the beginning and end of this period, the principal ones are the following, which are given in the order of their commencement. 1. From A. D. 34, to 1294. FRANCISCUS JUNIUS,—author of "An Ex. of the Apoc.," Heidelberg, 1591, and of Daniel, 1593— according to Tyso, adopted the above dates ; _which begins the period, it will be perceived, with the end of Daniel's seventy weeks. 2. From A. D. 130 to 1390. "WALTER BRUTE," of whom we find nothing ad- ditional, is given by Tyso as adopting this date. David's Disqualification for the Erection of the Temple. We have been asked the question whether, when David was forbidden to erect a house unto the name of the Lord, the prohibition was in part •a punish- ment, or was solely because of David's unfitness, as "a man of war," for such a service ? We find no element of punishment implied in the prohibition ; which we attribute in part, td David's having been "a man of war," and in part to his wars not being then ended ; so that the =time had not arrived for the erection of the Temple. Those are the reasons, and the only_ ones given in the scriptures. God said to David: "Thou bast shed blood abundantly, and bast made great wars : thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. Behold a son shall be born to thee, who shall he a man of rest ; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about : for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness un- to Israel in his days. He shall build a house for my name," 1 Ch. 22:7-10. And when Solomon be- gan to build, he wrote to Hiram, king of Tyre, say- ing : "Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God,for the wars which were about him on eve- ry side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. But now the Lord hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil concurrent," 1 K. 5 : 2.4. These being the only reasons specified for the Divine prohibition,we are not authorized to infer any others. David's unfitness, as "a man of war," for the erection of the Temple, was in harmony with vari- ous qualifications, mentioned in the law, for the performance of sacred services ; for God doeth every- thing by appropriate agents, in its appropriate sea- son, and in the proper manner. Thus no priest was permitted to serve in the sacred office, without be- ing first washed in pure water, anointed with oil, and arrayed in holy garments, Ex. 40:12-15. Sac- rifices were to be of animals entirely free from blem- ish, Lev. 22:19. The animals not specified as good tor food, were unclean •to Israel, and any one who touched their dead body was unclean until the even, Lev. 11:24. Whosoever touched the dead body of any person, was unclean for seven days, and must then he cleansed, Num. 19:1-13. The shedding of blood polluted the land, and whosoever killed any one unawares, must reside in one of the cities of re- fuge till the death of the then officiating high priest, Num. 35:25. And when God commanded the erec- tion of an altar on mount Ebal, he directed that it should be built of whole stones, without lifting "up any iron tool upon them," Deut. 27:5,6. He said, "lf thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone : for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou bast polluted it,'f Ex. 20: 25. There was therefore a propriety in forbidding the erection of the Temple, that was to be dedicated to God's service, by one who had been engaged in great and bloody wars : "And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready be- fore it was brought thither : so that there was nei- ther hammer, nor ax, no any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in building," 1 B. 7:7 — each timber and stone being fitted, in forest or quar- ry, for its place in the Temple, Ib. 5:17, 18. Although, as "a man of war," he was thus disqualified, there could be no element of punish- ment in the Divine prohibition ; for David always "enquired of the Lord" whether he should at any time go against the enemies of Israel, and acted un- der the Divine direction ; so that in those wars he was only "the minister of God, a revenger to exe- cute wrath upon him that doeth evil," Rom. 13:4. 3. From A. D. 257, to 1517. REV. HENRY MOORE D. D. author of "An Exposi- tion of Daniel and the Apocalypse," London, 1680, according to Tyso, adopted this date. Ile was a voluminous writer. From A. D. 304 to 1546. REV. THOMAS BaionTstAN,author of "Com. on Rev. of St. John," first published in Latin in 1609, and republished, London 1644, is given by Mr. Tyso as adopting those dates—the last of which marks the decease of Martin Luther. He reckoned Lunar years, and that 1260 only equaled 1242 Julian years. From A. D. 362 to 1622. REV. JOSEPH HENRY ALSTEDIUS, author of "Tri- lolium Propheticum," 1554, was Prof. of Divinity in the University of Herborn, in Nassau, and one of the fathers of the Synod of Dort. Mr. Tyso gives the above as his dates ; but when speaking of Mr. Mede, he refers to 376 as "the second epoch of Al- stedius." From A. D. 376 to 1636. REV. JOSEPH MEDE, author of Clavis Apoca- lyptica, 1627, was born in Eng, in 1586, and died 1638. lie was a learned and able writer, and, ac- cording to Mr. Tyso, favored these dates. Mr. Ty- so says : "Mede does not fix upon any particular year for the commencment of the 1260 days, but supposes they began between 365, and 455 ; he seems, how- ever most inclined to the second epoch of Alstedius, 376."—Elucid. p. 83. Mr. Mede is supposed, by Prof. Stuart and oth- ers, to have originated the year day theory ; but that is far from being a correct supposition. The year 376 is that in which the emperor Gra- tian refused the Pontifical robe—which had been accepted without scruple by seven Christian empe- rors—on the plea that it was inconsistent for a Christian sovereign to fill the office of Pagan high- priest ; and in this year Damacus, the Bishop of Rome, was elected Pontiff in his place ; which unit- ed the two offices of Pope and Pontiff in one person, and thus combined the headships of the Papal and Pagan hierarchies. In this year, also, the Goths crossed the Danube into the Roman empire. According to Mr. Faber, Mr. Mede "hesitates whether to compute the 1260 years from the year 365, when the Goths began to invade the empire ; from the year 410, when Alaric sacked Rome ; or from the year 445, when Valentinian died, whom he makes to be the last emperor of the West ;" but 445 " is the date he seems to prefer." " The reason Mr. Mede dates the 1260 years so early, is, because he imagined that the rise of the, man of sin was immediately to succeed the downfall of the Western empire, or that which letted." Faber' Dis. v. 1, p. 186. Bishop Newton ascribes to Male the date of 456, Newton's Dis. p. 616. See the date of A. D. 727. And Dr. Cumming (Great Trib. v. 2, p. 11) gives 532 as Mr. Mede's date ; in which he is undoubt- edly in error. THE ADVEN r HERALD. 285 ectures, was to rouse men from carelessness and un- belief, and to lead them to a preparation for the coming of Christ ; and his teachings, evangelical, practical, and impressive, were made the means, there is reason to believe, through the blessing of God, of leading many to the saving knowledge of the Redeemer. The false doctrines and fanatical measures into which some of the party lees in his last years, so far from being countenanced by him, were promptly disapproved and earnestly opposed. Several of the great points which he maintained, such as that Christ's second coming, the resurrec- tion of the holy dead, and the destruction of the antichristian powers, are to precede the millennium, are undoubtedly correct, and were admitted to be so by some of the ablest of his opponents. His great error lay in attempting to fix the exact time of the advent, and he fell into that mistake, By assuming that the period denoted by the 2300 days of Dan. 8 : 14 commenced, like the seven- ty weeks, Dan. 9 : 25, with "the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem." They, however, began, the language itself shows, during the action of the ram exhibited in the vis- ion, Dan. 8 : 3, 4, but at what date seems not at present determinable. In assuming that the coming of Christ and destruction of the antichristian host are to take place precisely at the close of the twelve hundred and sixty years. A considerable period, however, and occupied by great events, such as the proclama- tion of the gospel and the fall of Babylon, is to in- tervene between the close of the twelve hundred and sixty years, and the advent. * In overlooking sevceal great events that are to precede Christ's coming, and have not yet taken place ; such as a further drying of the Euphrates,or alienation of the people of the ten kingdoms from their national hierarchies ; the slaying and resurrec. tion of the witnesses ; the sealing of the servants of God ; the fuller proclamation of the hour of God's judgment to the nations ; the fall of Babylon ; the warning of God's people to come out of her ; the re- turn of a portion of the Israelites to Palestine ; and the gathering of the beast, false prophet, and their armies to battle at Armageddon. Nothing can be more certain, we think, than that, on the one hand, these events have not yet happened ; and on the oth- er, that they are to precede Christ's coming. In considering most of them as pared, however, he followed in the track of the principal recent writers of Great Britain. Instead of surveying the who'e field of prophecy, he fixed his eye on the great cen- tral event, and, in his intent gaze at its splendors, lost sight of the scenery with which it is surround- ed. � His other chief errors were the denial that the Israelites are to be restored, and the nations gener- ally are ever to be converted, and that t'se earth is to be the residence of men in the natural body dur- ing the thousand years of Christ's reignet His de- meanor, on the confutation of his calculations re- specting the advent, was such as might be expected from an upright man. Instead of resorting to sub- terfuges to disguise his defeat, he frankly confessed his error, and while he lost faith in himself, retain- ed his trust undiminished in God, and endeavored to guard hie followers from the dangers to which they were exposed, of relapsing into unbelief, or losing their interest in the great doctrine of Christ's premillennial coming. * Mr. Miller ended the 1260 days in 1798-45 years before his date for Christ's advent. � ED. t This also is a misapprehension of his view, as he held that only the resurrected saints would then in- habit the earth. � ED. This volume is worthy of a perusal by all who take an interest in the great purposes God has re- vealed respecting the future government of the world. If the first chapters descend to a detail of incidents that are of little moment, and betray a disposition to exaggerate and over-paint, the main portion of the memoir, which is occupied with the history of his religious life, is not chargeable with that fault, and presents an interesting account of his studies, his opinions, his lectures, his disap- pointments, and his death, and frees him from many of the injurious imputations with which he was as- sailed during his last years. He was a man of vig- orous sense, ardent, resolute, and upright ; he had the fullest faith in the Scriptures as the word of God, and gave the most decided evidence that he understood and felt the power of their great truths. Instead of the ambitiousness of a religions dema- gogue, he was disinterested ; his great aim in his � ED. sian and Austrian Embassy at Constantinople, and had deputed a commissioner to open negotiations with Prince Michal.

The Russians have sustained another defeat from the Cireassiana. Serious disturbances had broken out at Kallidah, in Poland, in consequence of the arrest of a man by a military detachment.

A Successful Expedition. New York, Sept. 1. The Tribune's special Wash- ington dispatch gives the following particulars of the Hatteras expedition : On Wednesday the Min- nesota, Wabash, Cumberland, Susquehannah, Paw- nee, Harriet Lane and Monticello, and transport steamers Adelaide and Peabody, with numerous tugs, arrived off Hatteras Inlet. The fleet was in command of Commodore Stringham, and the land forces under Gen. Butler. Two forts had been erect- ed by the rebels to gaard the mouth of Hatteras In- let, which commands the entrance to the Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, which afford connection tl us to Virginia and the sea. The bombardment was commenced at 11 o'clock in the morning by the Minnesota, the whole fleet soon joining. The land- ing of troops also immediately commenced, but ow- ing to the surf only three hundred were enabled to land. The fort replied to the incessant cannonade without much damage, and after three hours the flag on Fort Clark was hauled down and the rebels retreated to Fort Hatteras,a large work below. Our land forces soon occupied the abandoned fort, and hoisted the stars and stripes. At night the fleet an- chored, several gunboats remaining as near as possi- ble to protect the land force. At 8 o'clock on Thurs- day morning the fleet again opened a concentrated fire on Fort Hatteras, the shots from the latter fall- ing far short. At 11 1-2 o'clock, our shots begin- ning to play on the magazine, the rebels hoisted a white flag, when our troops started at a double quick from Fort Clark, and were met on the beach by a flag of truce. Captain Nixon of the Coast Guard went to the fort, when Commodore Barron, late of the Federal Navy,who was in command, pro- posed a captiulation by allowing the garrison to stack arms, and allow the officers to retain their side arms. General Butler refused to accede on such ter.ns, and demanded an unconditional surrender, which was subsequently acceded to. Commodore Barron delivered his sword to Commodore String- ham, and the other officers delivered theirs to Gen- eral Butler. One thousand stand of arms, thirty-two cannon, five hundred knapsacks, a large quantity of muni- tions and about seven hundred prisoners were cap- tured. Not one on our side v7as hurt. Four bun- dled men had reinforced the forts the night previous to the attack. On Thursday forenoon a steamer with one thou- sand rebels approached, but was kept away by our force in Fort Clark. After the capture our troops were all landed, and Gen. Butler had the stars and stripes hoisted amid the wildest cheering, the band playing Yankee Doodle. The prisoners and wounded were put on board the Minnesota, which will take them to New FRANCE. A deficiency in the wheat crop is generally admit- York. ted.

And David came to Baal-perazim,and David smote them there," 2 Sam. 5:19, 20. Again when the Philistines spread themselves in the valley of Rephraim, and "David enquired of the Lord, lie said, Thou shalt not go up ; but pitch a compass behind them and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then shalt thou bestir thyself : for then shalt the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. And David did so, as the Lord commanded him ; and smote the Philistines from Ge- ba until thou comest to Gazer," vs. 22-25. And when David ceased to make war, it was because "the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies," 2 Sam. 7:1. Being thus the minister of God, and acting under the Divine guidance in the chastisement of the surrounding nations, he could merit no punishmeut for such service. 4. The sins recorded, gainst David, which were "evil in the sight of the Lord," and for which he incurred God's displeasure, were subsequent to the time when he purposed, and was denied the erection of the Temple ; and therefore they were no more a dicqualification for such service,than were Solomon's that were subsequent to its erection. Besides, Da- vid was truly penitent for his sins, confessed them, anthwas told by Nathan, "The Lord also bath put away thy sins," 2 Sam. 12:13. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is cover- ed," Pea. 32:1. Those who are forgiven, are not subjects for punishment ;—though, to show God's abhorrence of sin, evil consequences are often wisely permitted ; and therefore the Lord by Nathan, said, to David : "Howbeit, because by this deed thou host given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die," 2 Sam. 12:14. (To be co, ' "rued.) 1 Memoirs of William Miller. By the author of the Time of the End—excepting the first three chapters, which were by the pen of another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. Few men have been more diversely regarded than William Miller. While those who knew him, es- teemed him as a man of more than ordinary mental, power, as a cool, sagacious and honest reasoner, an humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection- ate friend, and a man of great moral and social worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin- ions of him anything but complimentary to his in- telligence and sanity. It was therefore the design of this volume to show him to the world as he was —to present him as he appeared in his daily walk and conversation, to trace the manner in which he arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into his closet and places of retirement, to unfold the work- ings of his mind through a long series of years, and scan closely his motives. These things are shown of him by large extracts from his unstudied private correspondence, by his published writings, by nar- rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pub- lic labors in the various places he visited, a full presentation of his views, with the manner of their conception, and various reminiscences of interest in connection with his life. The revivals of religion which attended his labors, are here testified to by those who participated in them ; and hundreds of souls, it is believed,will ever regard him as a means, under God, of their conver- sion. The attention given to his arguments caused many minds, in all denominations, to change their views of the millennial state ; and as the christian public learn to discriminate between the actual po- sition of Mr. Miller, and that which prejudice has conceived that he occupied, his memory will he much more justly estimated. The following notice of this volume is from the "Theological and Liter- ary Journal." Encouraging Note. Bro. Bliss :—As I take up the Advent Herald, week after week, and look at the acknowledgments for money received to aid the office, I cannot sup- press the sigh that starts, and wish I could do some- thing more than I ever have done. I always think of the question asked by Bro. Pearce some two years since, when speaking of the debt then rez'sing on the office. He said, "Cannot some of our sisters do with a ribbon less on their winter hats, and give the price to help pay that debt ?" I wish those few words could sound in the ears of every sister, as they have in mine, I think the widow's mite would oftener fall into the treasury. I send three dollars with this : $,,41. for Mira Bos- worth 1. for B. A. Phelps, and 1. for myself. R. B. PHELPS. We have been thinking for some time that we should have to appeal, to our sisters, or as the apos- tle calls them "noble women not a few." But this voluntary response encourages the hope that they are about putting their hands to this work, of their own accord. Our sisters who have installed this tr wement, will accept our thanks for this effort, and we trust it may be widely imitated. Our Annual Conference. Instead of occupying the time of the next Confer- ence with the framing and passing of vain resolu- tions, and the transaction of mere business affairs, the following subjects will be presented and discus- sed in their order. It will be noticed that they comprise the oat cardinal questions which make us a distinctive peo- ple, with doctrines eminently and strictly practical. They will not only call out the liveliest interest among ourselves, but demand the attention of others who will, undoubtedly,attend the session. We shall too, by this method, secure as good as twenty ser- mons, per day, instead of one or two as formerly, and in a way that shall bring out the many and va- rious gifts of our preachers, and must elicit the warmest expressions of faith, experience and exhor- ation from the lay brethren. In order to obtain promptness and give energy to the questions, and to insure an unflagging interest from the opening of the Conference, to its close, speakers will be appointed to open each subject, i. e. make an address, or preach a short sermon of about 30 minutes, to be followed by remarks from any who may choose to speak. Subjects for Discussion at the next General Conference. Revivals :—Their essential qualities ; Their Importance ; the best means to promote them. D. I. Robinson.

From Bro. A. Brown. Dear Bro. Bliss :—As I' have some writing symp- toms, perhaps I had as well submit. You are thro' with the " little horn," but hay n't told us by what authority you spiritualize a part of the explanation of symbols, and thus violate all exegesis. You kno* that Dan. 7 from 23 to the end is explanation, and that the 3 1-2 years is a part of it. What do those old authors know of the meaning of any passage but what the passage itself affords ? You prove that the papacy had no civil power till A. D. 750, and it has none now, and was not therefore a horn- king till 740, but the laws and saints were to be in his hands, he was to wear out the saints during the whole 1260 days, to prevail against them till the judgment set ; but he does not now prevail against the saints, and the judgment has not set. By say- ing that the mouth of the horn and that of the beast, Rev. 13, are the same, you make the horn and beast identical ; but in Rev. 17 the horns are said to receive power as kings one hour with the beast. This forbids their receiving it 150 years be- fore he did, as you make them. " These shall make war with the Lamb." These shall burn Babylon. But they have not made that war nor burned Bab- ylon, and there are no ten, no five kingdoms now in existence to do these things, which received power one hour with the beast or papacy. If you say that other kingdoms which have arisen since the first ten or a part of them passed away, you flatly dispute the Revelator, who says "these," the same. In your theory and by your quotations you show that some 6 or 8 horns were plucked up, and hence the "just three" is all fudge. Rome-papal has lost all military power and can never receive it, but the beast is to lead the armies of earth in the future at the great battle, Rev. 19: 19. Rome can't do it, and therefore is not the beast. The representation of Dan. 11 is that the power which takes away the Daily is a great military power before that event, 24-31 ; and ch. 12 that the 1290 days begin at that taking away,—all this within 30 days of the beginning of the 1260 days. Now what great power existed about 1290 years ago and came towards the south, and had indi7nation against the holy covenant because the ships of Chit- tim came against it? If "he" and "him" in that chapter, up to v. 21 or 30, refer in every instance to an individual person or king, by what authority can you make these pronouns refer to a kingdom or nation in the rest of the chapter? Did the most inveterate spiritualizer ever take greater liberties with God's word? In Rev. 11 some power is rep- resented as treading under foot the city, at the be- ginning of the 1260 days, and as the sanctuary is trodden down at the removal of the Daily in Oan.8 and within 30 days of the same period, and as the power of Dan. 8 is a great military power with a host at his beck when he tramps it down, is n't it likely the same treading down is alluded to in both instances? and as in Dan. 8 the power which treads it down keeps it trodden down for the 2300 days, must it not continue a great military power through- out the period of treading down? But Rome papal had no military power till 750, and has none now. In Rev. 12 the power from which the woman hides for 1260 days persecuted her at the beginning of the period, made war, and sent out a flood to destroy her. A flood indicates military power. In ch. 13 it is represented that no one was able to make war with the beast at the beginning of the 1260 days, and this power continues 1260 days, which was never true of papal Rome for 1260 years. In Dan. S the declaration is unequivocal that when the sanc- tuary is trodden down and the daily removed, it shall continue 2300 days, so that the period begins with that taking away, &c., and I venture my right arm that you would never have thought of begin- ning it elsewhere by the inspired language, but you are influenced by tradition and old authors. True it measures the vision, but the vision is at the time of the end, which you can't place more than 360 years from the end. But if you make it embrace the contents of the chapter, the first thing seen in referred to, Acts 2.31, gives us the sentiment of two parallels, and by a disjunctive, as the Rev. George Campbell, D.D., F. R. S., remarks, " clearly dis- tinguishes the destiny of the soul, which is to be consigned to sheol or hades,. from that of the body or flesh, which is to be consigned to corruption." Dis. p. 290. 4th. Bro. C. says : " To dismiss the question, I bolieve the phrases my soul,' his, her, thy soul,' and also the plural your, their souls,' are Hebra- isms, merely expressive of personality." But as Paul and Luke use more than one-third of those ED. � expressions, occurring in the N. T., being learned men, they could not have done it through ignor- ance, and writing in the Greek tongue they could not have done it through necessity. Therefore we are driven to the conclusion that they used those distinctive phrases, to express more clearly the mind of the Holy Ghost. � D. BOSWORTH. Waterbury, Aug. 2S, '61. From Bro. Wm. Morphy. Bro. Bliss :—We still cherish the blessed hope of soon seeing the Lord our Redeemer. We still love the Herald, and would not like to have it discontin ued. Bro. Batchelor comes here and stays a fortnight, about once in three months. We always have a good time when he is here. The brethren are scat- � ACORN. tered around the country ; but at such times we al- ways have a good gathering. The Lord, too, ac- cording to his promise, is in the midst of us. It is my earnest prayer that the Bride may be prepared for the coming Bridegroom, that we may be kept humble, that we waste not our precious time in vain disputings, but that we may at all times strive to know what is the will of the Lord, and what will be most to his glory. May the Lord keep us in the faith, fill us with his love, and preserve us unto the end ; so that when he comes to reign, whose right it is, we may say in that day, " Lo this is our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us : this is the Lord ; we have waited for him : we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."

Oh, blessed day ! it is hastening, when the soldiers of the cross will, by the order of the Captain of their salvation, be marshalled by the angels of God and they will take the kingdom (it will be no Bull Run affair) and possess it for ever and ever. Not a soldier will be left or wounded ; tionably, the source of much of her intense anguish. She was sick more than three years, and during that time was tapped 26 times, taking away 882 lbs. of water. � • She bore her long and painful sickness with a pa- tience and resignation which can only be derived from an implicit trust in the gracious promises of the Gospel of Christ. None could visit her bed-side without being sensibly impressed with the infinite efficacy of Divine grace, in imparting comfort and consolation in the hour of the saint's greatest need. Not a murmur was heard to fall from her lips—she bent with cheerful submission to the pleasure of her Creator, and leaned on the bosom of Jesus with child-like resignation and faith. When her strength permitted, she made a record of her Christian experience ; from which we glean and even thousands in this Western country, if they the following, which may prove interesting and pro- could only hear the truth, would receive it with stable to others. At the early age of 15, she was "impressed with a sense of eternal things," and that without an inter- est in Christ she "could not be saved." From the time of her first deep conviction to that of her con- version, which was about a year, her experience was the experience of many young persons : balanc- ing between the fear of companions and the fear of an offended God : between the choice of worldly and of heavenly things ; yet at times so harassed and pressed by a consciousness of guilt, and the neces- that those of us who are scattered may endure to sity of faith in Christ in order to pardon and salva- the end. Then shall we meet to part no more. Yours in hope of eternal life at the appearing of Christ, � J. D. WHEELER.

B. has not carefully considered all we have advanced ; or, if he has, we do not see that his argument is pertinent to it. If our argument is insufficient, let it fall. We have at present no thoughts additional to add to what we have said ; which is incomplete till we have finished. From Bro. D. Bosworth. Bro. Bliss :—In Bro. Curry's last letter he re- marks that I must be " in the dark with regard to the question in dispute." But I ought not to be ; for I raised it myself. And if I am, according to an acknowledged principle in polemics, Bro. C. should have set me right before proceeding to argue the question. He also says : " I have kept to the question in dispute," and " prefer to discuss one question at a time." " But," says he, " Bro. B. introduces another question, instead of adhering to the one started by himself." Let us see ! In Her- ald of July 13 I asked the question thus : Now as some . . . believe the soul means the whole man-- nothing less—why do they use the possessive case ? (viz. " my soul," &c.) In Bro. C.'s reply of July 27, he quotes Dr. Eadie as saying, "Ile words 'my soul' mean merely myself," and adds, " Nouns of this nature are used because the Ilebrew has no in- tensive or reflexive pronouns." Thus far he confin- ed himself to the original question ; but he pro- ceeded to quote : " The Hebrew does not warrant this distinction. Christ's soul in such idiom is his entire person." Thus he raised the second ques- tion, and placed it distinctly before us. He contin- ued to quote : " Now what is meant by sheol ?" &c. � On this last I shall not remark, except to say that it was in reference to questions No. 2 and 3 — as raised by Bro. C.—that I observed I had known some " orthodox divines to be a little heretical." 1st. Bro. C. objects : " The pronominal express- ions under consideration do not occur often enough in the N. T. to warrant the assertion of Bro. B. that they are scattered all through the Bible." If I had said " scattered equally all through," &c. the objection would be valid ; but as I did not say, or even imply, anything in reference to the proportion, in one part or another of the Bible, his own admis- sion that there are 327 in the 0. T. and 27 in the N. T. fully justifies me in using the expression.— But I did not use the expression in reference to those pronominals exclusively. Having in view Br. C.'s quotation from Dr. E., " Christ's soul ' in such idiom means his entire person," I quoted Mat. 10:28 and others to show' that in the N. T. the dis- tinction between bod'se' soul and spirit,' inner,' and 'outer' man, &c., was clear and positive. And the fact, that inclusive of these forms of expression there are nearly as many texts proportionally in the N. T. as in the Old that make a clear distinction, fully justifies me in using that " wholesale" asser- tion. 2d. Bro. C. says, " It may be asked, Why are such expressions found in the N. T. at all, as it was written in Greek "? He then quotes Dr. Robinson, showing that the writers of the N. T. were not lit- erary men [except Paul and Luke], and he says,— " With them therefore the Hebrew element which mingled in this idiom [the Greek] would naturally have great prominence." But here is another difficulty for Bro. C. Those two learned writers, out of 32—instead of 27— timeS that those pronominals are used in the N. T. use them 11 times. And Paul abounds in other ex- pressions equally clear, thus showing that it was not ignorance, or a perversion of language, that caused their introduction into the sacred word. He then quotes Rev. Ezra Stiles and Prof. Murdock to show that a portion of the N. T. was originally written in Syriac. In reference to this we remark, Mr. Stiles says (" I believe) the greater part of the N. T. was originally written in Syriac." But Prof Murdock is too modest to claim (with any positive- ness) that more than Matthew's Gospel, and the Epistle to the Hebrews, were written in that lan- guage. Thus according to his own authority, the only two learned writers in the N. T. wrote in Gk.

I have made no issue on a question of He- brew poetry, or gratnmar, as I do not profess to be a Hebrew scholar. But I ask does not Dr. E. err in conveying the idea that Psa. 16:10 gives but the sentiment of a single parallel ? Scholars tell me those parallels contain a sentiment expressed in the first line, and a mere echo in the second, always connected by a copulative conjunction. If so, then Peter in his inspired interpretation of the passage From Bro. J. D. Wheeler. � It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow- Dear Bro.

I love the truths it heralds forth. While living at Sugar Hill, N. H., where I had the privilege of hearing, from Sabbath to Sabbath, the truth as it fell from from the lips of Bro. Shipman, and occasionally Bro. limes, E. Burnham and oth- ers, I thought I prized the Herald ; and so I did ; but since coming West, where I am deprived of such privileges, I think I know, with others of like cir- cumstances, the value of such a paper. My prayer Bering and most distressing illness ; more so than generally falls to the lot of our mortal nature. She was afflicted with a complication of diseases, which developed themselves principally in the form of dropsy, and a large tumor, which by a post-mor- tem examination proved to be of no ordinary kind : It appeared to he a mass of corrupt, congested, in- flamed flesh. This putrid gathering was, unques- neither will they come scattering along, one after the other, as after the late battle ; but, says Paul, we shall all be caught up together to meet the Lord, and so shall we ever be with him. Oh how cheer- ing and blessed the thought, so shall we ever be with him ! But how sad, as we see and hear of the thousands that are volunteering to fight for our country, that so few are willing and ready to enlist for Christ. This ought ye to do ; for it is right and just. But every volunteer ought to leave not the other undone. In every State there are those appointed to raise regiments of volunteers. So has Christ appointed his ministers to go forth into all the world ; but I have thought, sometimes, our ad- vent ministers were afraid to venture out into this western country. I have no doubt but hundreds, joy. I hope and pray the Lord to send some of his laborers into Wisconsin. I see by the Herald Bro. Chapman has started west again. I hope he will get out as far as Wisconsin this time. I should like once more the privilege of entertaining one of God's faithful stewards. My doors are open, and my table is free, and what little I can do towards helping will willingly be given. Pray you, who are blessed with the privilege of hearing from Sab- bath to Sabbath the truth of Christ's soon coming, " Profession is as the blossom to the fruit—valu- able just in proportion to its productiveness of good works." I walked among the blooming trees, So promising and fair ; Their beauty pleased the gazing eye, Their fragrance filled the air. And while I looked admiringly Upon the lovely scene, I thought upon the pleasant fruit, When months should intervene. IV hen weeks had fled, I came again— There stood the stately trees ; But oh ! instead of golden fruit, 'Twas little else but leaves. True, here and there upon a bough, A lonely one was seen, But where the store so rich and full, The promise of the spring ? The tale was told—an insect small The tender fruit had spoiled ; And so the labours of the spring, And summer's hopes, were foiled. Just so in life, 'tis often found ; But how the Saviour grieves, To see so little fruit appear, Among so many leaves ! "Much fruit, shall glorify my name, Tnis is my Father's will ;" Then let us guard the opening bud, "Much fruit," our motto still. From Sr. C. A. Ludlow.

The circumstances of her pardon and peace, I will give, as recorded in her diary. She says:— "Thus I lived till June 30, 1819.

Returned taLthe house with the cry in my heart, What shall I do ? About noon, went to my chamber, took the Bible, and as I read my feel- ings grew more intense. Cried to God,asking,Whh,t shall I do ? Then life and death were presented for choice ; I saw life and the glories attending it, and death with its attending horrors. It seemed as if one said, here is life, here is death,-make your choice. With a loud voice I cried, Lord, give me life, and tell me the conditions. The answer was, 'Separate yourself from the world and its vain amuse- ments ; make a declaration of your faith in Christ by baptism ; let the world know that you are de- cided for God.' I said, Lord, how shall I take the first steps? I immediately took my Bible, and in the act of obedience my burden left me. I sat down by my Mother's side and as I began to read, such feelings flowed into my heart as I never experienced before. It seemed as if every word was mine. I asked my mother the meaning of this,-1 felt as never before. Went to the door, and every thing appeared new, and seemed to be praising God : the waving boughs of the forest trees, and the grass in the field, and the birds flying in the air. Oh, what a change ! I cried with joy ; was filled with rapture ; it seemed as if the glory of God shone all around me" Like thousands of others, for the want of due in- struction, doubts almost immediately darkened her spiritual vision and she was plunged into the deep- est distress of soul. From this, after a severe strug- gle with the tempter, she again emerged into the clear light of GOd's reconciled countenance, and ex- pressed her faith to the friends who had gathered about her bed, (for by the sudden revulsion of feel- ing, from great joy to utter despair, she was so pros- trated as to give fears that she was. dying) in the Son of God, of her duty to be immersed, and. of her tbelief "that Christ was coming the second time," that then "the righteons dead would be raised ; the -wicked be destroyed from off the earth ; Christ would reign a thousand years with his people, and that his coming was near a thand." She was baptized by Elder J. Capron,and August 22, 1819, joined the Christian church in Calais,and Mansfield Vt. She speaks of that church as a "com- pany of lovely brethren and sisters ;" "yet," she says, "I felt a lack, as there were none to sympa- thize with me, in the near coming of my Saviour." As I have already exceeded the limits devoted to obituaries, I will pass over many very interesting, and some of them remarkable incidents in her Chris- tian experience, and only say : In the year 1834 she visited Haverhill, where she became interested in the preaching of Elder H. Plummer and,took quite an active part in his meetings. In Sept., 1836, she was formally received as a member of the Christian church in Haverhill. She says, "I remained a member of that church nearly eight years ; felt deeply for its welfare andsaw many precious revivals of religion under the administre.- tion of Elder Plummer," She also refers to the vis- its of brother Miller to Haverhill and her deep in: terest in his lecturesrotithe second comingof Christ, and the effect of his preaching on the members of the church ; she remarks, "One would have thought that the whole church were second advent believers, and while they lived and looked for his coming,God blessed theta. . � thet.after 1843 passed they be- gan to oppose, and soon became so strong in opposi- tion, that March 17, '11344, at, the close of the af- ternoon service, Eld'eriPltimineri with about 50 members, withdrew freiM the church, husband and myself being of the- number. The two following Sabbaths we worshipped in a echool house ; on the third Sabbath we met in the tabernacle, called by oar opposers 'Grod;s• barn' . . . When the second time passed, at whieh we looked for Christ's return I was more disappointed than in 1843, but not dis- couraged ; for the word Of, .0.9e1 stood sure ; Christ would come ant establishhie kingdom and give it to his people."'r I '4 j::. � , . The closing though of her written experience were : " I still believe it ; f care not for the scoffs of a frowning world, 9F of aisyld-hearted profess- ion. He will code soon, and redeem to himself a people, out of 'every kihdrar, tOngUe and nation ; and they will live and reign with him forever on the new earth.
