BOSTON, OCTOBER 14. 1846. 
· Questions Answered. 
On receiving the following questions, we 
ware at a loss whether to insert them or not. 
vV e doubt the propriety of. discussing this 
question, because the question of the Advent 
does not turn on its truth. 
But when a com-
. munication comes in'the form of questions, it 
would seem that they ought either to be an-
swered, or it should be acknowledged they are 
unanswerable. We have no desire to protrude 
our opinions on others, nor to change the 
opinion of any one; but we are always ready 
to give an opinion when it is respectfully askP.d. 
If we refuse to answer qnestions, we are 
taunted with-" You cannot, or dare not, an-
s.wer them." If we do answer them, we im-
mediately ofl:end some good bretltren whom 
we love, because we express ourselves against 
their theory. 
We do not expect to allude to 
this again, unless we are forced so to do, by 
those who believe that side of the questio_n. 
QUESTIONS BY BRO. B. N. CHILDS. 
Dear Sir :-In reading the " Herald " of this 
week, I noticed a few interrogatories put you, in 
relation to the sleep of the soul, and the destruc-
tion of the wicked, and your answer. 
And as [ 
read it, I thought I should like to propouud 
a few questions for your consideration, and an-
swer, if it would be 11dmis,;ible. 
, 
Question 
bt.-[~ the 28th verse of the lSth 
chap. of St. Luke a p.trallel p<~iia<~ge with the 
partLb]e, or hi~tory of the Rich Mnn and Laz,_ 
rus, in the ltitfa char. of the same book? aud if 
so, are we no\ in the 13th ch<~p. told whcu aud 
where that will take place? uud even in the 16th 
chap. is there not a Resurrection iulplied-
" Though one rose from the dead." 
Question 2d -lf the unconscious state of the 
dbad or soul was not believed in1among the prim-
itive Church, what did or could .Paul lllean by 
the 18th verse of the 15th chap. of 1st Corin-
thians, unle'Ss Paul thought the righteous were all 
going to hell, or to a state of mi:>ery, without a 
ltesurrecti()n? If not, could they have perished 
in utly sen,;e of the word whatever? 
Question 3d.-Are not those who believe in a 
conscious state of the dead, under the necessity 
of spiritu;tlizing every passage in the Bible which 
treat;; upon the subject? and if so, is that the 
usual way AdventisL! haYe been taught to con-
strue the Bible? 
And again. 
What is meant or irpplied by 
the second Death, as taught in Revelation ? Is or 
iii it not extinction of life, as well as the first?-
" He that soweth to the flesh iihall of the flesh 
reap corruption." 
Youtn in hope, 
B. N. CHILDs. 
Worcester, Sept. 26, 1846. 
ANSWK& to qqestion 1st,-The parable you 
refer to is this: Luke 16:19-31-" There was 
-
THE ADVENT HERALD. 
a certain rich man, which was clothed in pur-
ple and fine linen, and fared surtlptuously 
every day: and there was a certain beggar 
namerl. Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, 
full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the 
crumbs which fell from t~e rich man's table: 
moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. 
And it came to pass, that ~he beggar died, and 
was carried by the angels into Abraham's 
bosom. 
The t:ich man also died, and was 
buried : and jn hell he lifted up his eyes, be-
ing ih torments, and seet~ Abraham afar off, 
and Lazarus in h1s bosom. And he cried, and 
said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, 
and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of 
his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for 
I aloll tormented in this flame. 
But Abraham 
said, Son, remember that thou in thy life time 
receiv.edst thy good things, and likewise Laz-
arus evil things: but now he is comforted, 
and thou art tormented. And besides all this, 
between us and you there is a great gulf fixed : 
so that they which would pass from hen~e to 
you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that 
would come from thence: 
Then he said, I 
pr y thee 'therefore, father, that thou wouldest 
send him to my father's house: for I have five 
brethren ; that he m!fY testify unto them, lest 
they also come. into this place of torment.-
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses 
and the· prophets ; let them bear them. And 
h\l said, Nay, father Abraham : but if one 
went unto them from the dead, they will re-
pent. 
And he said unto him, If they hear 
not Moses and the prophets, neither will they 
be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." 
The text you suppose parallel is this : Luke 
13: 28-30-" There shall be weeping and 
gnashing of teeth, _when ye shall see Abra-
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and a11 the proph-
ets, in the kingdom of God, and you your-
selves thrust out. 
And they shall come from 
the e~st, and from the west, and from the 
north, and from tlte south7 aud ::lhall sit down 
in the kingdom of God, 
Aud, behold, there 
are last, which shall be first ; and there are 
fir~t, ·which hall be last." 
We can hard! y believe you serious in ask-
ing if these are 11ot paralleL 
The first, you 
will perceive, is au express declaration by the 
Savior, of what had been.-He gives a his-
tory of a rich man, who had lived, had diecj, 
had been buried, and had lifted up his ~yes in 
Hades,-which a11 the ancients understood to 
denote the piace of the departed, irrespective 
of their slate there,-being there in torment. 
He also spoke of a poo~ beggar, who had 
died, and was carried by angels to Abraham·s 
bosom. 
There is no intimation ot its being 
something which is to transpire in the future. 
The five brethren of the rich man were still 
on the earth when he made the request for 
Lazarus to be sent to waru them 'to avoid that

In replying to the above we may as well in

presence?

f his presence ?

AKsW&R to question 1st.-Yes. 
· ANsWER to question 2d.-Yes. 
AN8WER to question 3rd.-We will tell 
you where they can be, when you will tell us 
where Satan went to, when he went forth 
from the presence of the Lord, to torment 
Job, 1:12; or where Cain went to, when he 
"went out from the presence of the Lord, 
and dwelt in the land of Nod." Gen. 4:16. 
Yon do not distinguish between the primary 
aod secondary use of words, in which consists 
your difficulty. 
ANSWER to question 4th.-That of which 
Jhe being is extinguished, is of course des-
truyed; but it is also, if it continues to exist. 
To destroy, is to unfit anything for the pur-
pose for which it was created. The temple 
or Christ's body was de8troyed when it was 
l•id in the tomb-John 2:19 ; but it retained 
all ita integrity, and was again re-animated. 
TIM earth was destroyed, with every !iving 
tbing, at the flood, Gen. 6:13 ; but it ~as 
~one the Jess an earth. A· house may be so 
illjureo as to be unfitted for a $lwelling: then 
tbe house is destroyed ; but it may be used 
l'or other purposes. 
When the wicked fail 
of immortality and eternal life, they will 
also be destroyed : thus the ancients under-
ltood it. 
· ~bswER to question 5th.-It is not. They 
haye no promise of it, or claim, or title to 
it. 
Immortality is no where used in the 
Scriptures to denote mere existence, how-
ever extended that may be. 
The term is 
often used by the school men in an accommo-
dated sense to denote existence merely, but 
it ia no where thus used in the Scriptures. 
AM&Wii!R to question 6th.-We do. 
And 
llo did Paul determine not to know any thing 
among those he preached to, but Jesus Christ 
and him crucified. 
But good critics render 
~h of these •• make kll!;wn,'' aud thus the 
text yon refer to reads in some old transla-

Saturday, Sept. 5.:-Went to Glasgo\Y1

rnillennial.Advent believer, and a publi~her; 
found his store closed, with the following in-
scription: "Shut on the Seventh Day." I 
then, by the city Directory, found the resi-
dence of Rev. William Anderson, who has 
been a very zealous Millennanan. 
We ex-
changed 
Tiewr~. 
I found· lum very warm 
against Mr. Miller's theory of the Millenni~ 
urn. 
He eaid that he preterred even the 
spiritual view to that. 
He is a stickler for 
probat1on after the Ad,ent. He holds the 
year-day system as we do. 
He said 
h~ 
would have got me to preach for him on the 
following Sabbath, ~ut there were special 
reasons why he had to occupy the pulpit 
himself. 
He wished my address, that he 
might write me when I could preach for him. 
After leaving Mr. A., in passing through the 
streets, I came opposite a wom:,1n selling 
fruit. 
I was prompted to speak to her on 
the coming of the Suior. She seemed to 
be cheered by tne glad tidings. 
She wept. 
I gave her an Advent paper, which she glad-
ly received. 
When J was leaving her, she 
seized up two fine pears, and very politely 
asked me if I would not accept them. 
This 
was the only act of hospitality I receiv d in 
the city during the day.

a great spirit of inquiry. 
Wednesday, Sept. 9.-Re-'flsited Glas-
gow. 
Called upon Mr. Bel:'g. 
We at once 
entererl into free conv~rsation on the Advent. 
I told him of the many in Canada and the 
Unit~d States, who are waiting for the king-
dom of God. 
He expr.es!!ed his regret tha~ 
there were so few in Scolland who manifest 
any interest in this important matter. 
I re-
minded him that those who profe!!s to he in-
terested in the question seemed tu be mostly 
asleep-that they do not make it a great 
practical doctrine, and will not, tili they see 
that it is the grand theme of the gospel. It 
is held as a cold, lifeless theory. 
Mr. B. 
acknowledged the justness of my remarks. 
He seems to be a truly Christian man. 
In 
common with most European l\-lillennarians, 
he connects the restoration of natural Israel 
with the Advent, and believes in probation 
after the! Advent. He adheres to the Fu.tur-
ist view of the prophecies, regarding ''the 
daJs" in Daniel and John literal and future. 
He gue me some expressions of kindness, 
and took my last work, " THE KINGDoM or 
Gon,'' into his store, and will probably dis-
pose of some copies. On the san1e da:y I 
went to Paisley, to see a reputed friend of 
the Advent, a leading man in a factory, and 
to try to get a place in which to lecture; but 
did not find him at home, and did not accom· 
plish my purpose.

Storm at Sea. 
In our·last we gave an account of the tJe-
mendous storm encountered ·by the Great 
Western during her passage from England, on 
the 19th, 20th, and 21st ult. 
The following 
additional items may not be uninteresting. 
Says one of the passengers : 
''Sunday morning most of the passengers 
assembled in the cabin and saloon. 
Their 
haggard faces told too surely of the sleepless 
and anxious night which had passed. 
Even 
thol:le most ignorant of nautical affairs could 
not fail to discover that we were in the midst 
of great peril. 
F'ew could dress with their 
accush1med care, owing to the violent pir.ch-
ing and constant rolling of the vessel. 
The 
stewards abandoned any attempt to prepare 
the breakfaat table, and both then and 
throughout the day, were ol>liged to content 
thems6llTes with bringing such articles of 
food as were most convenient, to those who 
felt any disposition to eat .. 
11 o'clock, A. M -A heavy sea broke over 
the fore-pa-ct of the starboard wheel-house, 
or paddle-box, which started the ice house 
anrllarge iron life boat from their fastenings, 
and washed them to leeward, and with much 
difficulty they were temporarily secured. 
To undersmnd this, the reader must bear-
in mind, that the Great Western is, so to 
~peak, three storie~ high forward and aft, and 
two in the waist., or middle of the ship: aft, 
there is the lower story, or cabin, .1.bove it, 
the ealoon, the roof, or covering of which ia 
the quarter:d.ock, and may, for the purposes 
of description, be considered as a third story'. 
ln the waist, or middle, the lower story is 
occupied by the engine room, the.roof, or 
covering of which is the main deck. 
On 
this main deck, in the centre, are placed the 
chimney, galleys, and ice house. 
The vari-
ous offices appertaining to the stewards and 
polico of the ship, at the sides. 
This part is · 
open above, and protected by the whttel-
houses and sides of the ship, which rise to 
the height of 14 feet. 
The width of the pad-
dle box is about 12 feet. 
The ice house 
~ontained some seTen or eight tons of ice, 
and was fastened by clt:ets and stanchions 
Let the reader imagiale the force of the sea, 
and the height of ·the ,wave, which, rising 
over the paddle box, struck the ice house 
and the large iron life boat above it, twisted 
them from their fastenings, breaking the ice 
house into two parts, rippir.jl off the planks, 
crushing the starboard companion way, and 
only preTented from making a clear breach 
in the sides of the ehip, by a sodden lurch to 
port. 
Mean time the wind howled most 
frightfully through the rigging. 
At 11 o'clock and 15 minutes, A. ~1., at-
tempted to wear ship, to get her on the other 
tack (thinking ehe would be easier,) as the 
wind still continued to veer to northward.-
Lowered the after gaffs down ; manned t~e 
fore-rigging, and. loosened the weather yard 
arm of the toresail, to pay her off, but found 
it had no effect. 
Therefore let her come to 
again. 
In th& mean time tbe square sails 
blew away frou1 the yards. 
11 SO, A.. M. 
The lee quarter boats were 
torn frorn the thvits by a heavy )ee lurch of 
t~e ship, ht>ntfing the duits, tearing out the 
nn!Z bolts from their stems and sterna. 
Word .,.. ~s passed among the passengers 
tftat two ot our boats were gone, and the 
others were likely to follow, the davits and 
bolts beginning to· give. 
~Jut not a remark 
78 
was made ; each spoke to the other only 
through the eye. 
And the ominous silence 
which pervaded the whole company told how 
sensibly all felt themselves in the very pres-
ence of the King of Terrors, uncertain of 
their doom. 
It was wonderful to see how a few short 
hours changed the condition and feelings of 
all on board. 
The grades and distinctions 
incident to so large a company, nrying in 
social position, citizens of almost all coun-
tries, and professing different creeds, yet, in 
the presence of so imminent danger, all dis-
tinctions seemed merged into one common 
emotion of awe, as we etood together in the 
court of the great le~eler, Death. With this 
intense feeling which bound us together as 
one, came also another of an opposite and 
repelling character. 
E~ery heart was deep-
ly occupied with its individual griefs and 
memories, as if not another shared the peril. 
Home, with its 'loved ones, and a thou:!and 
cherished hopes and joys, rose fresh to the 
view, and with a power like the storm, !!wept 
over the mind and left it like the ocean, tem-
pest-tossed and troubled. 
"See," said a gentleman to me, "no one 
converses, no one reads-all are engaged, 
each with his own thoughts; and if my wife 
and children were here, I confess, my feel-
ings woulrl be of the most distres:!ing charac-
ter." "But," said I, "they suffer in your 
lo,;s. '' "Very true; yet it is only a question 
of time, and, whether sooner or later, God's 
will be done.'' 
· 
''At noon, storm and sea raging in all their 
fury, sea still breaking over the ship, a hea-
vy sea struck the larboard paddle box and 
smashed it to atoms ; sprung the spring 
beam. breaking the under half; shattered the 
parts of the ship attached thereto. 
~ splin-· 
ter stru~k the Captain on the head while 
standing on the poop, and the force of the 
blow, together with the sea, carried him o~er 
the lee quarter, and he was only saved by 
the nettings. 
· 
"After this sea had passed o~er, we found 
the water had gained on the pumps ; the wind 
appeared to lull a little, and the ship a little 
easier, but still blowing a storm. 
All the 
hatches, except those made use of for pass-
ing into the engine room, were battened 
down, and the skylights partiaiJy covered. 
The weather continued the same until mid-
night, at which time it lulled for half an 
hour." 
· 
The log conveys to the reader some idea 
of the st:1te of the ship and effects of the 
storm on Sunday at noon. 
Its effects on 
those below can best be given in the words 
of a gentleman who remained the greater 
part of the time in the cabin : 
To convey an idea of the appearance of 
all around is out of my power. 
In the words 
of Sheridan, "tht~ tempest roamed in all the 
terror of its glory." The atmosphere was 
aurcharged with a thick spray, rendering-a 
look far out to seaward impossible. 
The 
wind howled, roared and bellowed, like the 
constant muuerings of the thunder cloud. 
Huge waves of tremendous height an<J... vol-
ume rose in mad display around the ship, 
threatening ev-ery moment to break over us 
amidships and crush the ~esse!. Sea after 
sea striking us with terrific noise, caused the 
gallant ship to stop for an instant, tremble 
and shake in every timber, from her stem to 
her stern post, reeling and lurching, tossed 
to and fro; again would she gath~r. fresh 
strength, and with her wheel~ half h1~ m the 
wild waters, again and agam 
rece1~e the 
thundering blows of an element that seemed 
armed for our destruction. 
The sails on the yards, strongly secured 
by ropes and gaskets, were blown from their 
furls and streamed out to leeward in ribbons. 
But all this was nothing. 
About I, ~· !'f·• 
while most o( us were seated in agomzmg 
suspense in thfl lower cabin, holding fast to 
the tables and seltees, a sea struck the ves-
sel, and a tremendous crash was heard on 
deck. 
Instantly the cabin waa darkened, 
and torrents of water came pouring down 
upon us through the skylights. 
Scarcely had the waters reached the door 
when all in· the cabins and state-rooms sprang 
to their feet, and simultaneously, as if by 
concert, the ladiea uttered a acream of agony, 
so fearful, and so despairing, t~ sound of it 
will never be forgoueo; and Heaven g.rant 
that such a wail of anguish may ne•er again 
be beard by me. 
Several faint.ed-othera 
clasped their bands in mute despair, while 
many called aloud upon their Creator." 
The crash to which the writer alludes was 
·caused by the tearing up of the benches and 
other wood work on the quarter deck. These

THE ADVENT HERALD.

were hurled with violence against the sky-
lights, by the same sea whi~h broke the win-
dows of the saloon, drenchmg the berths on 
the larboard side, dri~ing out their affrighted 
occupants, while it smashed by its weight t~e 
glass over the main cabin, and thus forced Us 
wav below. 
This was a period of intense emo!i~n. I 
was sitting in the upper saloon, stnn.ns,r to 
protect some ladies from injury. 
So Ylolent 
were the shocks of the v-essel, althonllh firm-
ly braced, it was wi'h great difficulty we 
could prevent ourselves being hurled from 
our seats, and dashed with such violence 
against a part of· the ves~el, as to endanger 
life or limb. 
Many received severe cont~­
sions and bruises, notwithstanding all their 
efforts. 
'Twas an anxious hour.. My eye wan-
dered over the different groups in the saloon ; 
resting-one while on a father passing frwm 
one to another of his family, and cheering 
with a kind word an interesting group of 
daughters; then on a young wife, folded to 
the bot~om of her. husband without a syllable 
being uttered, but the action spok~ volumes, 
and again upon a mother,whose children had 
been left in America, as she clasped her 
hands as if·in secret prayer, while her hus-
band and her father gathered around, and all 
seemed bowed down to earth in one common 
feeling of tender solicitude for those who· 
might so soon become helpless orphans. 
Night approached. And again I quote 
from the gentleman who has kindly given an 
account of what took place below. 
"Amid this accumulation of horrors, and 
still more to add to our alarm, night gathered 
in around us. The wind far from abating, 
was on the increase. The lulls in the storm 
being less frequent, and the squalls, if any 
thin(J' more terrific. 
The whole ocean was 
one o~ea of foam, lashed up into terrible 
waves, wild and angry, while the .spr.ay and 
wind seemed driven through the nggmg and 
over the ship, as if with demoniacal power. 
As darkness came, clustering to~rether in the 
cabin, we all thought and reflected on our 
fate. 
Most, if npt all of us, had given our-
selves up for lost., . For what ~ith th~ heavy 
laboring of the shtp, the te~nble notse. and 
howlin~r of the wind, the conttnual thumpmgs 
of the aea, the quivering and ~baking of the 
gr,Janing timber11, the carrying away of so 
many portions of the ves11el's upper works, 
and the knowledge that we were perhaps for 
another night to be exposed to the full power 
nf a raging hurricane, left us little to hope 
for." 
At half past 5 o'clock on Monday morning, 
we were in the greatest possible danger. 
Mr. Ste~ens, one of our passengers who 
was an eye witness, says of it: "A peculiar 
liftiog of the haze in the East, with an ap-
pearance of an amber-colored belt of light, 
low down on the horizon, warned us of an 
approaching blow. 
Presently it catne, a per-
fect tornado, driving before it the clouda of 
8pray, and as it neared .us, fairly lifting up 
the whitt' foam from the ·waves, like a show-
er of rain. 
As the squall struck us, t-he ship 
careened over, and buried her guuwales in 
the ocean. and lay for a few moments strick-
en puwerless, and apparently at the mercy of 
the snage waves that threatened to engulf 
ue. This was the trial, the last round fought 
between the elements and our gallant vessel. 
At this critical moment, the engine was true 
to h~r duty. 
Still "'·ent nn its revolutions, 
and round and round thundered her iron wa-
ter-wings. (;radually reco~ering her upright 
position, the gund ship, with head quartering 
the sea, came up to her course, and all was 
well. It was the climax of the storm-the 
last great effort of the whirlwind ~ing, to 
send us to the sea giants' cave below." 
On Monday about 12, the storm had abated 
sufficiently to admit of standing on the upper 
step of the companionway with safety. It 
was a sublime, but an awful tpectacle. The 
ocean still labored under the effects of the 
hurri~ane. The wind veered 20 points in 36 
hours; it is impoesible to imagine'or describe 
the wild and tangled confusion of the waters. 
Rising to a height apparently greater than 
that of the mainmast, they leaped and roared 
around the ship, as if hungry and maddened 
at the Joss of their prey. 
At times the Great 
Western seemed as if lowered by unseen 
spirits into her watery l"&ve ; and e•ery mo-
ment you e~pected it t~ be fill~d in, an~ her 
requiem aun~ by the Wlrlda auud the w!lder-
neas of waters. 
But our danger was past, and with grate-
ful hearts, on Tuesday morning, all aaaem-
bled in the cabin to render an ac& of common 
prayer and thaoksgiliog.

A Sermon. 
Matt. 24 : 14-" And this gospel of the 
kingdom shall be preached in all the world, 
for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall 
the end comP.." 
This discourse was in answer to the ques-
tions proposed in the third Yerse : "And as 
he sat upon the mount of Oli~es, the tlisci-
ples came unto him printely, saying, Tell 
us, when shall these things be 1 ;lnd what 
shall be the sian of thy coming, and of the 
end of the world 1" "These things." were, 
his second coming, mentioned in the last 
~erse of the preceding chapter: "Blessed 
is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;" 
and in the second verse of this chapter, of 
the destruction of the temple by the Romans: 
" There shall not he left ,here ~e stone upon 
another, that shall not be thrown down."-
The first fnurteen verses gi~e an exordium 
to the discourse, which covers the ground of 
both questions. 
The precedin_g verses will 
be considered in a subsequent dt3course. 
1st. " This gospel of the kingdom," was 
the gospel which was then preached. 
John, 
Chriet, the· twelve, and the 
se~enty, all 
preached, " Repent, for the kinl!'dom of hea-
ven is at hand."' Matt. ~:1,2; Mark 1:14,15; 
Luke 9 : 1, 2. 
This was " preached as a 
witness" to the nation of the Jews. 
Matt. 
10: 5-7-" These twelve Jesus sent forth, 
and commanded them, saying, Go not in the 
way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the 
Sczmaritans enter ye not. 
But go rather to 
the lost sheep of the Housi: of IsRAEL. And 
as ye go, preach, saying, The KINGDOM of 
heaven is AT HAND. 
2d. The preaching of the kingdom at hand 
was suspended, when Christ, the king of the 
Jews, was rejected and crucified! and in turn 
\l'ejected them, and took the kmgom from 
them, and left their h.ouse unto them desolate. 
Matt. 23 : 38; 21 : 43. After he had pro-
nounced their doom in tears from Olivet, and 
laid down his life and taken it again, and 
showed himself to them by infallible signs 
for forty days; he then took them out to 
Olivet, and gave them another message. We 
will place the two in juxta-position. 
Matt. 10: 5-7. 
Mark 16:15, 16. 
Go not in the way of 
Go ye into all the 
the Gentile~t, and iuto world. 
any city of the Sama-
ritans enter ye not. 
-
On the above mentioned day, Aug. 26th 
he appeared to h~Ye h~d so~e presentiment 
of his approachmg dtssolut~on; wherefore 
he wished to make, and d1d make, some 
statements to his wtfe, bearing upon the sub-
ject of the Lord's la_ying h~m aside from his 
work, for a little wh1le, whiCh he repeate~ly 
said, he could with cheerfulnees yield to, if 
it was his Master's will ; though he should 
like to ]abor a little longer in the vineyard of 
the Lord. 
.A.t other times, he said he was glad he had 
preached the coming of Ch_rist as near, as he 
could bring it from the word of God; and he 
believed it still with all his soul that the Sa-
•ior was •ery nigh, and would soon come. 
He would be .glad to live until Christ's ap. 
pearingi but it s~emed a.s if il~e Lord would 
Jet him sleep a httle wh1le, before the resur-
rection morn, when he hoped, through grace, 
to rise with all the saints of God. 
He was willing to meet his preaching at 
the judament, especially his labors at the 
recent Camp-meeting at Enfield, and Guil-
ford-(where he appeared to 
ha~e enjoyed 
an unusual measure of, the unction of God's 
blessed Spirit) though he felt deeply that he 
had been but an unprofitable, servant-(and 
who of all the saints of God will not have to 
make a like confession 1) 
When asked, whether he felt the Savior 
present and precious to hia soul, he very 
readily replied with a smi~e, "Oh yes, very 
precious;'' and then expatiated somewhat on 
the amazing goodness and wonderful lov~ of 
God as manifested in the plan of redemptiOn, 
and prayed that himself and others might 
duly appreciate it. 
· 
. 
. 
His fever soon ran nry !ugh, and contm-
ued thus, causing his mind to wander fre-
quently on various subjects, though t~e ges-
tures of his hands, and the expressiOns of 
his lips, very often exhibited him in the atti-
tude of preaching ; and thus proved that ~e 
desired still with his latest breath to proclatm 
a dying risen and coming Savior, in whom 
were ce~tered 
1
all his hopes of a glorious res-
urrection and a blissful immortality, and 
whom he' felt constrained by lo~e divine, to 
press upon the acceptance of all, who would 
come and partake of the waters of life. 
He suffered much durina his sickness, but 
bore it with great patience 
0and submission to 
his heavenly Father's w!ll,, believing, a~ he 
said, that our present affiiCtiOns are but hght, 
and for a moment, and work uut for ns a far 
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory! 
But go rather to the 
lost sheep of the house 
of Israel. 
Singing the praises of God, like preaching 
And preach the gos-the Gospel of the kingdom, was the dellght 
pel to every creatu?·e. 
of his soul, living and dying-he broke out 
Arid as ye go, preach, 
saying1 'fhe kingdom 
of heaven i11 at hand. 
He that believeth and 
is baptized, shall' be 
eaved; but he that be-
lieveth not shall be 
damned. 
These messages were very dissimilar. 
3d. "This gospel of the kingdom at hand," 
was suspended, till a given time, when it was 
again to be preached. Luke 21st. When all 
the signs of his coming shall have taken 
place, "then the king~om of God woul.d be 
at hand.~' It is an illipresive fact, that 10 all 
the four lines ot sevens in Revelations, in the 
~ixth, in each line, a proclamation comes 
forth of his immediate coming. In the sixth 
seal, the same events are exhibited, as here 
in Luke. From the Savior's ascension, to 
the appearing of the signs of his coming, no 
message of "the kingdom at hand" was to 
be heard ; but then 1t was to be repeated.-
Paul, in 2 Tlless. 2:1, 2, charges the church 
not to be "deceived" in this matter, "by 
any means;" and declares that the day.of 
Christ was not then at hand,-that the Scnp-
tures declaring it to be at hand did not apply 
to that time. 
But nearly thirty years ago a 
voice was heard in Asia, and a part of Africa, 
saying, ''Repent, for the kingdom of heaven 
is at hand." 
It was from Dr. J. Wolf, a 
coRverted Jew. 
About the same time the 
vibration reached Europe, and soon ~fter it 
broke like the voice of thunder upon th1s con-
tinent. 
Thus, like tbe mes~age. given on 
Olivet, it hegan in the east; and, hke the ap-
parent motion of the sun, rolled to the west. 
It was /ir8t preached as .A ".w.itness" to 
the Jewish nation· the last time 1t IS preached 
in all the world fo~ a witness unto all nation1. 
And then shall the END come.

Bro. John H. ieni. 
His sickness commenced Wednesday, 
Au(J', 26th 1846, though his health aufl'ered 
con~iderably for some time previous in con-
sequnqe of excessi•e labor .in preaching the 
Gospel of the kingdom, wb1ch waa the de-
light of his soul. 
·~ 
several times in attempts to hymn some song 
of Zion, though unable thruugh extreme 
weakneas to complete it. 
At one time he sang most sweetly : 
"We shall all rise together in the morning." 
Showing tbat the glones of the resurrection 
morn, as connected with the appearing of our 
blessed Savior, filled his heart, while they 
inspired_his tongue. 
And though, in consequence of the nature 
of his 1.1icknees, as has before been alluded 
to.,he was often wandering, and could no' 
collect the thoughts of his mind, he woul.d 
on such occasions remark, 11 that though b.Js 
mind was not clear, nothing could destroy 1n 
him that blessed hope!" 
On Monday night, (Aug. 31,) he se~med 
to revive considerably-was quite senstble, 
and apparently recovering strength-and 
when about 1 o'clock in the night his father, 
mother, and sister came, be was very ani· 
ious and glad to see them-and talked for .a 
short time freely with them-saying to ~ts 
father, who had scarcely expected to find h1md 
alive, that he had himself thought he sho~l 
be called to sleep in Jesus a littl.e wh1le, 
though now he intimated that he m1ght ye~ 
recover, as indeed his symptoms appeare 
much more favorable than before. Yet he 
did not fail again to· express his submissioo 
to whatever toight be the will of the Lord. 
On Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept. I and 
2,) he appeared to grow worse, and ~here 
was Jess apparent ground for hope of hus red 
eovery ; but in his lucid moments, he cease 
not to give evidence of his continued sense 
of God's favor and acceptance. 
At one thne he said, "0 Lord, have merd 
cy on the people ~'' showing his de~p an 
aineere eympathy, and his earnest desue. for 
the aalntioo of BOIJis-while at another urn: 
he sana with a •oiee almost unearthly an 
beaTenly, a whole Yerae with the chorus: 
.. 0 glory ! 0 glory ! 
. 
There's room enough in parad11e, 
For all a heme in glory." 
His mind was evidently most of ~he time 
oderiog upon the plan of redemptiO~, ar,d 
ta glorious completion at the resurrectiOn of 
he just, to which he looke~ fo~ward wt~h 
E
uliar interest and exceedmg JOY· 
Satd 
in reference to it: " The resurrection 
ks glorious to me, and I want to have a 
J88Urrection," implying it would be sweet to 
reM a little while in Jesus, and then to ehjoy 
·die. promised pre-eminence of the sleeping 
11rnts over the living believers at the coming 
f Christ, in being raised first, or prior to the 
llorious change of the latter. 
But again, when he looked at his dear com-
aion, and their lovely babe, both of whom 
8 most tenderly loved, he would fain for 
'heir sakes be preserved until the Lord's ap-
.f«~&ring, if it might be consistent with the 
will of his heavenly Father-and when he 
thought how little he had done, comparative-
y, for the cause of God, and as an instru-
ment in the salvalion of souls, (though he 
bad been abundant in labors, and blessed un-
~er God in his ministrations, as the churches 
and communities where he broke the bread 
of life will testify, and as the day of God 
:will disclose by tbc stars in the crown of his 
rejoicing, given to him as seals to his minis-
try)-when he thought, I say, how little, 
eoDJparatively, he had done for the cause of 
God, and how much remained yet to be done, 
~pluck sinners as brands from the burning, 
od to make a people ready for the Lord, in-
trpmentally, he, groaned, and prayed that 
:tie might yet be spared, if it were God's good 
Ieasure, to labor more in his blessed cause 
11nd service. 
Though, as before remarked, he was abun-
'dan·t in labor!!, and at times he enjoyed much 
tf tbe special presence of God, and of the 
racioos influence of his Spirit accompany-
·or the word of his ministry, yet he felt 
eeply humbled under a sense of his imper-
ectioos, and would magnify and adore the 
race and mercy of God in Christ Jesus, as 
is only trust for salvation complete, glorious 
nd eternal, in the day of the Lord. 
Oo Thursday, (Sept. 3,) he was all day 
•Yidently dying, and spoke but once, pro-
oocing the name of his dear Mary Ann, 
or hom he ever manifested a dtost tender 
lieitude) after which his speech failed him! 
od he continued thos till between six and 
ven o'clock in the evening, when, without 
groan or struggle, he ceased at once to live 
and ,la~lr, falling sweetly asleep in Jesus, to 
rest a little while, till the mighty trump of 
~'on the glorious resurrection day, shall 
~II him forth from his dusty bed, to rise to· 
Jtfher in the morning with all the sleeping 
;aints. 
Thus a good man-another watchman on 
e walls of Zion-has fallen-but he has 
fallen in a glorious warfare-soon to rise 
again, glorious and immortal, having fought 
the good nght, kept the faith, and finished 
his course, he is now awaiting that crown of 
righteousness, which the Lord our righteous 
judge will give him in that day, and not to 
him only, but to all them also that love his 
•ppe.uing.

Hallowell, (Me.}, Aug. 15, 1846. 
"Probation After the Advent!" 
cuniary matters, we give our prayers gra-
tuitously, and as muC'h lucre as possible. 
. Bro. H. BucKLEY writes from Derby Line, 
v t., Sept. 28th, 1846:-
of our brethren, the apostles, and early disci-
ples, whose history we have, and who often 
met together to teach in word and doctrine, 
for exhortation, and prayer, to help and 
strengthen each other, and to enlighten those 
ready to hear. 
Paul exhorts to " hold fast 
the profession of our faith without wavering, 
(for he is faithful that promised.) 
And let us 
consider one another, to prowke unto love 
and good works : not forsaking the' assem-
bling of ourselves together, as the manner of 
some is, but exhorting one another, and so 
much the more, as ye see the day approach-
ing.'' Heb. 10:23-25. This, brethren, is 
one of the duties of the Christian. And we, 
who believe we see the day fast approach-
ing, should take heed to it, in this time of 
apostacy and sleeping. This duty has been 
extensively practised· among us, and with 
good results, until new tests took the place 
of " sound •doctrine," and an innumerable 
stock of messages took the place of exhor-
tation and prayer, which has divided some of 
our brethren, and disconra2'ed others, till 
they have lost their power of faith, and are 
now almost, if not altogether sleeping. 
I have looked with interest to see the 
course of brethren in places where there was 
a sufficient number to sustain meetings, as 
belieYers in the speedy coming of the Lord, 
and to teach, and exhort, and pray, in refer-
ence to that event. 
And I see in many, if 
not in most cases, whP.re there has not been 
a decided, zealous, and unflinching stand 
taken to teach and present, and maintain 
these great truths of our coming King, the 
cause has sunk ; and those who have been 
illuminated by this light of glorious day, have 
lost much of their interest in this blessed 
truth, and the spirit of Christ also, being un-
der the influence of those who continue to 
teach sentiments which are calculated to veil 
the truth in obscurity. 
Others who fear they 
shall be sung to sleep by the syren song, and 
kept from that influence, fail to take any pub-
lic stand to present the light of sound truth, 
to those in darkness. 
True, we may ask, 
"hue they not heard 1" 
Yes, truly; but 
have we done our work 1 And can we live 
ourselves without public worship, when the 
circumstances or our numbers are such as to 
bring responsibility on us, to use such means! 
To whom 1 To tile apostate, or the person 
who forsakes Christ and the guspel1 
No ; 
"it is impossible to renew .them again unto 
repentance, seeing they. crucify to themselves 
the Son of God afreah, and put him to an 
open shame." 
" There remaineth no more 
sacrifice for sins (for such), but a certain 
fearful looking for of judgment and fiery in-
dignation, which shall devour the Adversa-
ries." "When the righteous turneth away 
from his righteousness, and committeth ini-
quity, and doeth according to all the abomi-
natiOns that the wicked man doeth, shall he 
live 1 All his righteousness that he hath 
done shall not be rnentioned : in his trespass 
that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that 
he hath sinned, in them shall he die." (Heb. 
9th i
d lOth, and Ezek.ISth.) From whence, 
then, is unconditional election 1 From man :

She died of a pulmonary

Sermon on the occasion, by the writer of 
this article, from Acts 3:19-26. 
I. H. SHIPMAN. 
Sugar Hill, (N. H.), Oct. 6, 1846. 
Let us arouse ourselves, brethren, and se-e 
if we are in the way of duty. 
1t is true that 
many live at such distances from each other 
that they cannot often meet togther, and in 
such ca!!es God gives them a measure of his 
Spirit, suited to their case. 
They have their 
Bibles, and Advent papers, which is suffi-
cient, when deprived of all ,other helr-s. 
But 
I speak of those who are so situated that 
they can meet together, and who have the 
means to sustain public worship, and who do 
not do it. 
Many, and I trust that most of 
Adventists, do all that they can do for the 
Lord and his truth. 
They willingly ~acritice 
all things for the cause of God. 
Yet there 
are others who used to pay ten, twenty, and 
even thirty dollars yearly, to support the 
church and missionary operations, who now 
pay little or nothing, to spread the glad ti-
dings of the kingdom at hand, although (hey 
profess to believe that the judgment ls at the 
door, and they have thousands of dollars in 
their hands. 
0, mv brethren, see if these 
things are right. 
Hath not the Lord need 
of some of his money to send his word to 
those yet unprepared tor the kingdom ! Are 
you as ready to deal it out as von once was 1 
Are you as active and zealou·s in the cause 
of God, in the salvation of souls, nnw in sin 
and darkness, as you was when you were 
first enlightened on this moment011s subject~ 
Are you in possession of that Spirit of Jesus 
which r.aused you to labor day and night to 
win souls to Christ, and to provoke to love 
and good works 1 If not, then you should 
humble yourselves again before God, "call 
to mind the great light of afflictions which 
ye endured," when God let in the light from 
his word on your mind. 
0, let us turn to 
God with a whole heart, and obtain forgive. 
ness for our neglect, then we may obtain that 
faith which will prodm!e a love and zeal for 
God, that will enable us to bear fruit to his 
glory; to do all that is our duty to do.-If 
we have become negligent in God's cause, 
and stupid on the subject of the Savior"s 
second coming, it is because we have loet our 
love for God, our eye is looking at some 
other object. 
0 let us look unto Jesus, the 
"Probation after t.he advent!'' To whom 1 
To the man who neglects the privilege of be-
ing enlightened and saved 1. or to the man

Dear Bro. Himes :-I have nothing of very 
great importance to write, especially as pub-
lic, save that God still has (and manifests) 
power on earth to save sinners. The Advent 
faith still lives in this wicked Sodomish city. 
Although but a small body,-persec:uted, 
despised, and rejected of all men, and down-
cast, oft times, for want of a good faithful 
pastor constantly with them ; yet they try to 
hold the form of sound words, and cling 'tn 
their integrity ,-not letting go their confi-
dence, but earnestly looking for that blessed 
h(lpr,-meeting together and exhorting one 
another, and thus as a city not hid, 'or salt 
not valueless, they have been exerting an 
influence, although for a time unseen, that at. 
length has began to exhibit itself in a blessed 
manner. 
And may God progress this good 
begun work to his own glory. 
CAMP-MEETINGS. 
A writer in the last "Western Christian 
Advocate," a Methodist paper published in 
Cincinnati, in an article on ''The Uses and 
Abuses of Camp-meetin~s," says that a 
number of well wishers of the cause of Christ 
have been watching the !!igns of the times, 
and are almost persuaded that the time for 
doing good at camp-meetings near cities and 
other large places, has gone by. He gives 
the followinD' as some of the innovations that 
have been attached to th~ simplicity of for-
mer times:-
" We go to the encampment and build ex-
pensive tents, or rather houses. 
Then we 
take out rich and splendid carpets, and the 
most elegant fashionable furniture, silver 
service, &c. 
Then come the requisites for 
sumptuous living-cooks and cooking stoves, ' 
waiters, chickens in their coops, and even 
pigs in their pens, some of which have been 
known to be killed on the holy Sabbath day ! 
And the cooks, likewise, have cooked tltem, 
as well as other things, during the hours of 
solemn worship! 
The butcher erects his 
shambles, and the baker comes with his bake 
oven also; the segar and tobacco seller finds 
1 ~r of life. He knows the state of our hearts. 
he churches and the world are watching us, 
!l'bey expect to see those who look for Christ 
-~d the jd~g~ent at hand, in the performance 
aU Chrlsttan duty. 
This they should ex-
\. And while we have abandoned many 
the practices of a. popular church, and re-
to obey the commandments of men, (IT 
fliu the burdens they have laid upon us, 
a, nevertheless, are under obliaation to God 
man to obey the duties enj;
ed on us in

author and finisher of our faith. "It is high 
time to awake out of sleep." Benold the 
judge P.tandeth at the door," and only they 
that do the will of God will enter the king-
dom. 
And you, brethren, who are called to 
preach, should not forget Paul's charge to 
Yesterday, while our meeting was in pro-
gress, a poor prodigal in the congregations 
cried out," God be merciful to me a sinner/~ 
when five kneeled down and prayed God to 
pardon their transgressions; and I am happy 
to have it to say, found peace, such as the 
world knoweth not of: three were added to 
the church, and I pray God they may be 
such as shall be saved. 
Hence I say, God 
yet has power on earth to forgive sins, and 
those who try to limit that power, are found 
false witnesses to the saying " The Gospel 
is the power of God unto salvation." We 
of the Aclvent church of Baltimore are poor 
in this world, but we love truth. We hail 
the " Herald !I arul "Voice of Truth " glad-
ly, and read the Joings of i>Ur dear brethren

little remains to be done but to decorate the

Capture of Santa Fe ........ Official information 
has been received from Gen. Kearney, announr.-
ing the capture and quiet military possession of 
the· territory of New Mexico. It is understood 
Gen. Kearney, with a small force, is about to 
leue Santa Fe for a few days on an excursion to 
some of the principal places in the territory, and 
may conclude to establish a Military post below 
or near tl'le Rio Grande. 
Despatches were re-
ceived yesterday evening from Gen. Taylor's 
camp, but they are no later tkan the 3d of Sep-
tember from Camargo.-Union. 
Major Gen. Jesup, quartermaster general, left 
the city this morning for the frontier of Mexico, 
t3 take upon himself the general direction of the 
affairs of his department in that quarter. The 
step has been taken with a 'fiew to proYide for ev-
ery exigency without the delay and inconTenience 
which sometimes result from waiting instructions 
from WashiiJgton, and in order to secure the ut-
most efficiency and economy to the measures of 
that department. 
We have no doubt that this 
movement, deliberately and duly taken, will con-
tribute essentially both to the etliciency and the 
economy of the war.-Ib. 
The Telegraph from Baltimore reports to the 
N. Y. True Sun, that advices from Camargo to 
the 8th ult. have been received at New Orleans. 
At that date it was supposed that a battle had 
been fought at Seralvo between Gen. Worth and 
the Mexicans, as a force of the latter, 1000 strong, 
was seen by Mr.Cullough advancing toward that 
plflce, and within forty miles of it. 
Intelligence 
of the fact was sent by express to Gen. Taylor, 
who immediately pressed forward with a portion 
of his trovps, by forced marches, to the relief of 
Gen. Worth. 
The Mexicans were reported to be rall)ing 
from all points to join the forces under Ampudia, 
with whom Arista was co-operating with a deter-
mination to interpose a strong and determined re-
sistance to the further advance of the American 
armv. 
Another telegraphic report from Washington 
on 1'hursday evening says :-
" 'fhe steamship Ann McKim arrived at New 
Orleans on the 21st ult. from 'fexas. A letter to 
the New Orleans Picayune from Mr. Kendall, 
dated at Seralvo, Sept. 3d, says Gen. Taylor 
will probably be within cannon shot of Monterey 
on the 18th or 20th of Septemi.Jer. 
Ampudia is 
at Monterey with the entire control. Mr. Ken-
dall learns that 2000 Mexican troops of the line 
arrived there on the 31st of August, with four 
pieces of field artillery. 
Canales is at Marine 
with 6000 Rancheros to dispute Gen. Taylor's 
march upon Monterey. These people are deter-
mined to light somewhere. 
Arista is in the city 
of M~xico, it is said, charged with cowardice and 
treacherous de~igns." 
' 
There seem to be disc rep mcies in these ac-
counls. 
B'i.~hop On lerdonlc.-The Protestant Episco-
p:ll Convention of New York hao~ at length set-
tled the vexed matter of the salary of Bishop On-
derdonk, by resolving to pay him $2,500 annual-
ly. 
One puty oppo~ed the grant on the ground 
that the Bishop, not being an o!Iice-bearer in full 
function, could not earn a salary, which waa in-
tended to be a support in the labors of the Epis-
copal office. 
The other party grants the sum, 
because it is considered by those who compose it, 
that the deposition of Bishop Onderdonk is illegal 
and invalid. 
Thanking the Most High by Resolutwn.-
We place below the following resolution, adopted 
by the plssengers, on board the Great Western, 
after the storm had abated. 
The idea of thank-
ing God by proxy, in this manne~, and ~eputing 
a Committee to draft the resolve, 1s certamly DOY-
el. 
The clau5e, including the "Captain, officers, 
and crew," in the san1e vote of thanks, is not 
the least c.urious part of the affair :-
Re3olved, That a Committee be appo~nted to 
draft a resolution expressive of our gratitude to 
Almighty God for his great goodness in our. al-

and also to the Captain, officers, and ere~ of !he 
ship, for their arduous labors, and the1r sk11l, 
firmness, and per~evorance, in carrying the ship 
through her late perilous condition. 
Th!l Rerious reader will probably be still fur-
ther astonished to learn that this was actually 
carried out, and that the Lord received a vote of 
thanks for his exceeding kindness and providen-
tial care precisely in the !!arne manner that cap-

You may cut us off 
from your church, but not from Christ's iDYisihle 
and universal church, of which we become mem-
bers by repentance for our sins, and a living faith 
in him.' 
• What ! ' replies the Patri<lrr:.:h, ' do you 
deny that baptism is necessary to make one a 
member of Chri,t's church, and that the sacra-
ments are necessary to hill perfection in Chris-
tianity?' We acknowledge, they have replied, 
that bapti!lm is necessary to a membership in any 
vi11ibl~ church, but we deny that any one by bap-
tism, can become a member of the invisible 
church of Ghrilit. True faith in him is the only 
operation necessary for becoming a member of 
this church, and this is in an operation of our own 
minds, over which man can hue no control." 
The College of Cardinals, (says a forei~n pa-
per,) continues to throw every obstacle m the 
way of the Pupe and of his minister Cardinal 
Gizzi. Not a measure of amelioration or reform 
is propoaed which is not immediately denounced 
by the college. The Pope and his minister how-
ever, are not daunted by the faction, and reforms 
in the civil administration, and in the municipal 
institutions, which have been long demanded by 
the people, are in progress of prt.paration. 
.Missions in India.--The last annual Report 
of the Calcutta Baptist Miss. Society, says:-
"The year we are 11urv~ying has been marked 
by many indications o_f divine favor. 
CooTer-
llions have been, for Ind1a, remarkably numerous; 
about one hundred and thirty villagers, chiefly in 
the neighborhood of Agra, and in the districts of 
Barisal and JetJ!Iore, have been baptized, having, 
we trust, been brought to a saving knowledge of 
Christ, and induced to turn away from tteir idols 
to serve the liTiog God. 
The whole strength of the mission now consit~tll 
ef ele~en missionaries, who were eent ont from

and East Indian missionaries, who were raised in 
PROPHECY. 
Prophecy furnishe~ an argument in favor 
of Chri1otianity, the ti1!:,Ce of which is contin-
ually growing. 
The argument bt>gan, when 
first a single prophecy wall fulfilled. 
h in 
crr.ased more and more, as predictions and 
fulfilments nltlltiplied. 
In the age of the 
apostles, it was a powerful as well as a fa-
vorite weapon in proof of the Gospel. 
But 
during that period, many new prediction!! 
were published, and many ancient on~t~ re-
mained to be accomplished. Tie ar~Jument, 
consequently, was not yet at i.ls height. It 
has been growing ever since, as one century 
after another has rolled out an additional ful-
filment, or completed and enlarged those al-
ready advanced. 
We, in the present age, 
enjov an expanse, and variety and complete-
ness of prophetic evidence, far exceeding 
those which tl:ie chart of history presented 
to St. Paul. 
There is to us, a vuice from 
the stlent solitudes where Babylon and Tyre 
once stood in.pride··and reigned in power; 
from the modern history of the prostrate 
Egypt; from the wonderful annals and pres-
ent condition of tht> Jewish race; from the 
desolate state of the Holy Land and adjoin-
ing countries; from the rise and present as-
pect of the mystic Babylon-which the primi-
tive ChriaHians had not the privilege of hear-
ing. 
The force of this argument is yet to 
grow continually. 
A few years hence, in all 
probability, will exhibit it invested with a 
brightness and glory, compared with whi~h, 
all present evidence will seem but as mormng 
twihght. 
The end of the wgr)d will be its 
full maturity. 
Prophecy having begun with 
the history of sin, extends to the completion 
of its tragedy ; and not till the blazing of the 
great conflagration, when "the earth and all 
that ia therein ahall be burned op," will ita 
every prediction be fulfilled, or·· tbe ful-
ness of glory with which it was designed to 
show the truth of God in the gospel of his 
Son, be made to appear.-Mcllvaine's Evi-
