Just before he ascended into heaven, our Sa-
vior said, " All power is given to me in heaven 
and in earth ;" and so when he comes again he 
will come armed with that power as a fact which 
he announced at his ascension as a prerogative 
and a gift. This power will be felt in the graves 
of the dead ; it will be seen in the gathering and 
separation of the startled and the agitated living ; 
it will be seen in the paling sun, in the waning 
moon, in the hiding stars ; it shall then not be 
disputed, but felt as an incontestable fact, that 
all power in heaven and in earth is his. And he 
will be accompanied, it is said, with angels.—
These will constitute his retinue, and form a por-
tion of that great glory with which the Son of 
man shall come. We have this described in the 
prophet Daniel five hundred years before these 
words were pronounced : " I saw in the night 
visions, and behold, one like the Son of man came 
with the clouds of heaven, and came to the an-
cient of days, and they brought him near before 
him. And there was given him dominion, and 
glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, 
and languages should serve him. His dominion, 
is an everlasting dominion, which shall 
Christ's Power and Glory. 
not pass away, and his kingdom that' 
which shall not be destroyed." And very beau-
tifully and very exactly it is said in the Acts of 
the Apostles, " Ye men of Galilee, this same Je- I 
sus, who is taken up from you into heaven," that 
is, in a cloud, " shall so come as ye have seen , 
him go." And in the opening chapter of the 
Book of Revelation it is said, " Behold, he com-
eth with clouds; and every eye shall see him, 
and they also that pierced him ; and all kindreds 
of the earth shall wail because of him." �
More 
glorious than on the mount of transfiguration,

We are told in 1 Thess. 4. that " The Lord 
himself shall descend from heaven with a shout ;'

anxious men, the sail and the steamer on the 
ocean, the train rushing along its iron road, the 
tradesman behind his counter, the merchant in 
his counting-house, the judge upon the bench, the 
senator pleading about taxes, about progress and 
about reform ; at once and without warning, shall 
be heard a sound louder than all the parks of all 
the artillery of earth, or the severe thunders of 
heaven, whose reverberations shall reach to the 
highest heaven, and descend to the deepest hell, 
and cover with their crashing echoes the widest 
space of God's startled earth and agitated world. 
When that shout shall be heard, men's blood will 
grow cold almost at their heart, the pulse of na-
ture for the first time will stand still, and the 
most sceptical will believe that whatever be the 
nature or the issues of the scene, anew and start-
ling era has arrived in the arrangements and the 
providential purposes of God. lb. 
promise still stand up, an unscathed pillar, upon 
the summit of which shines the pure, soft light 
of heaven ? Are not God's strong-winged angels 
still all—aye, all,—ministering spirits to the 
heirs of salvation ? Does not Jesus still live, and 
does he not bear your name upon his heart as he 
maketh intercession ? Is he your sympathizing 
friend ? and does not God reign ? Shall not the 
Judge of all the earth do right ? Is there not a 
home of sweet, sinless rest, where the battling 
soldiers of the cross shall by-and-by be crowned? 
Then why cast down ? Right shall yet triumph. 
Dry up your tears. Look up—up ! God reigns. 
There is enough in these two words for faith to 
fasten upon to give a present and permanent 
victory. Cheer up, and honor God by trusting 
in him. " Let the children of Zion be joyful in 
their king." 
" Live on the field of battle, 
Be earnest in the fight ; 
Stand forth with manly courage, 
And struggle for the right."

Dr. Cumming on the " Signs of the 
Times." 
Dr. Cumming has been stating his opinion at 
Leeds respecting the great events, which accord-
ing to his interpretation of the book of Daniel 
and the Apocalypse, are looming in the future. 
He said the year 1867 seemed to end 6000 years 
of the world's history, and from the earliest per-
iods onward it had heen the almost universal &-
lief that the six days of creation were typical of 
those 6000 years, and that the seventh day of 
creation, or the Sabbath, was typical of the mil-
lennial rest of 1000 years. But they would say 
that, supposing this were so, they were at this 
moment 140 years short of the 6000 years. It 
was a remarkable fact, however, that the ablest 
chronologists, irrespective of all prophetic theor-
ies, had shown that a mistake of upwards of 100 
years had been made in calculating the chronolo-
gy of the world, and the year 1860 of the Chris-
tian era began not from the year 4004 of the 
world's history, but in the year 4139, and that 
the year of Christ's birth was five years before 
that, or in 4132. If his premises were just, then 
they were at that moment within seven years of 
the exhaustion of the 6000 years ; so that if 1867 
was to be the termination of this economy, they 
had arrived at the Saturday evening of the 
world's long and dreary week. 
If this were so, it was a magnificent thought 
that there were some in that assembly who would 
never die. They were just plunging into days 
such as they had never before seen ; an Europ-
ean war was looming, more dreadful than that 
through which they had recently passed, and 
when these things happened it would be seen 
that the sentiments he had uttered were not the 
dreams of fanaticism, but the words of soberness 
and truth. He was convinced that England 
would emerge from the midst of these vials of 
wrath ; she was separated from the great aposta-
cy at the era of the Reformation, and had never 
again joined her. 
His study of prophecy did not make him a 
gloomy, a desponding, or a sad man ; but whilst 
God's precepts taught him his duties, His pro-
vidence lightened up his heart with the sunshine 
of Heaven, and gave him a hope that brightened 
more and more to the perfect day.—Eng. paper.

A Word upon the Gift Enterprises of 
the Day. 
Of all generations that have ever peopled the 
earth the present must be set down as the most 
famous for inventing projects to get money. And 
it is painful to every well-wisher of our race to be 
compelled to state, that quite a share of them are 
such as the principles of virtue and religion 
would at once condemn. Of this sort is the 
" gift enterprise" so much in vogue just now. 
Notwithstanding all the" fine talk" and specious 
things that appear on the hand-bills of those en-
gaged in this work—their meek protestations 
against having any design to play a chance-game 
upon the public ; no candid person who will take 
the pains to investigate the thing, will fail to see 
that the enterprise does involve the princi- 
Onward, Christian brother, go, 
Though oft in danger and in woe ; 
Though weary, still press on. 
The crown of life immortal sce,— 
That jeweled prize, it is for thee— 
The race is nearly won. 
Let neither danger, toil, nor strife 
Deprive thee of that Crown of Life, 
Though many foes assail. 
Soon, thy Great Captain will appear, 
And wipe away the falling tear, 
And o'er thy foes prevail. 
In all thy tribulation, pray, 
Then soon will dawn victorious day ; 
And, all thy conflict past, 
Triumphant praises then will sing 
To thy Redeemer, Lord and King, 
And wear the crown at last. 
Then, Christian brother, ever blest, 
Enter thine everlasting rest, 
With thy victorious Lord, 
He fought and conquered, all alone ; 
With none to aid, the,battle won, 
To gain thee thy Reward !

" Well, then, summon your people, and let us 
ee what can be done." 
The landlord obeyed, and in a few moments 
the astonished domestics were upon their knees, 
and the landlord called upon to pray. 
" Sir, I never prayed in my life ; I don't know 
how to pray." 
" Ask God to teach you," was the gentle re- 
ply. 
The landlord said, folding his hands, " God, 
teach us how to pray." 
" That is prayer, my friend," cried Mr. 
Hill, joyfully, " go on." 
" I am sure I don't know what to say now, 
sir." 
" Yes you do ; God has taught you how to 
pray, now thank Him for it." 
" Thank you, God Almighty, for letting us 
pray to you !" 
" Amen ! Amen, !" exclaimed Mr. Hill, and 
then prayed himself. 
Two years afterward, Mr. Hill found in the 
same village a chapel and a school, as the result 
of the first family prayer at the " Black Lion." 
The First Family Prayer at a Tavern. 
Rowland Hill was once driven by a storm into 
a village inn, and compelled to spend the night. 
When it grew late, the landlord sent a request 
by the waiter that the guest would go to bed. 
Mr. Hill replied, " I have been waiting a long 
time expecting to be called to family prayer." 
" Family prayer ! I don't know what you 
mean, sir ; we never have such things here." 
" Indeed ! then tell your master I cannot go 
to bed until we have family prayer !" 
The waiter informed his master, who in con-
sternation bounced into the room occupied by the 
faithful minister, and said, " Sir, I wish you 
world go to bed. I cannot go until I have seen 
all the lights out, I am so afraid of fire." 
" So am I," was the reply ; " but I have been 
.expecting to be summoned to family prayer." 
" All very well, sir ; but it cannot be done at 
an inn." 
Indeed ! then pray get my horse ; I cannot 
sleep in a house where there is no family prayer. 
The host preferred to dismiss his prejudice 
rather than his guest, and said, " I have no ob-
jection to have a prayer, but I do not know 
how."

The Life of a Christian a Paradox. 
" As deceivers, and yet true ; as unknown, and 
yet well known ; as dying, and behold, we live ; 
as chastened, and not killed ; as sorrowful, yet 
always rejoicing ; as poor, yet making many 
rich ; as having nothing, and yet possessing all 
things." 2 Cor. 6:8-10. " For when I am weak, 
then am I strong." 2 Cor. 12:10. " Out of 
weakness were made strong," . . . Heb. 11:34. 
" There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath 
nothing. There is that maketh himself poor, yet 
hath great riches." Prov. 13:7. 
The gospel affords a strong consolation to the 
humble Christian, who may be unknown, chast-
ened, sorrowful, weak and poor and dying, in 
this sorrowing world, in that it unfolds `tohim 
in the world to come, so soon to dawn, imperish-
able honors, an unfading crown, and an endless 
life in the kingdom of God ; then, 
With enraptured visions of the future, 
We will press on to the long-looked for-day, 
And hail its tokens, with gladsome delight, 
For it shall reveal our long absent Lord, 
Who shall the whole face of nature renew, 
And thus, the new vreation be complete.

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
ple of a-chance-game,—as does any other mode 
of gambling, 
Let us illustrate the working of this traffic. I 
send to one of these establishments for a book 
worth one dollar. It is understood that there is 
a chance for me to obtain a gift ! with the book 
worth ninety dollars. A gold watch perhaps 
worth that amount. I am successful, and draw 
the watch. 
The question is, on what principle have I ob-
tained it ? The proprietor will say that he has 
given it to me ; and so he has,---out of the fund 
which, by his ingenuity, he has raised, he is able 
to run this risk. But has the gift, as it is termed, 
which he has paid out of the common fund, al-
tered the principh3 by which I have obtained the 
watch ? Was it not purely a matter of chance 
on my part that I drew the watch, and purely a 
matter of chance that he was made to hand it 
over to me ? Most certainly it was. There is 
but little difference between this gift enterprise 
and a common lottery, only in the manner of 
raising the funds. The fund' in a common lot-
tery is raised by the sale of tickets. In the gift en- is it in those who, knowing the legitimate fruit 
terprise by the sale of books, upon which an ex_ or such a trade, patronise it. 
orbitant percentage is put. The funds of a com-
mon lottery may be purely an imaginary thing 
to begin with. But it comes into actual exist-
ence, as A, B and C purchase tickets, and pay 
over their money, with the understanding that 
they have the chance to draw back from the com-
mon fund, five, ten or twenty thousand dollars, 
according to the plan or scheme of the lottery. 
So is also the fund of this gift enterprise, pure-
ly imaginary ; its only being consisting in the 
extraordinary per tentage placed upon the stock 
in trade. 
And it would ever remain a thing of the imagi-
nation, as it ought not even so much as that, 
were it not the case that persons enough are 
found, who willingly pay in their money to pro-
duce an actual fund—one of sufficient magnitude 
to enable the proprietor of the concern to make 
good all the risks they promises to run, by the 
purchase of a book, for illustration, for which 
they pay the concern one dollar, when the same 
book a hundred miles from the place of publica-
tion can be afforded for forty-two cents—paying 
this extra price for the book for the sake of per-
chance obtaining a little jewelry. 
Let it be distinctly understood, that all who pa-
tronise such a thing lend their influence to sup-
port the principle by which all gambling institu-
tions are sustained. 
But how does this trade affect those communi-
ties that engage in it, in a religious point of view ? 
I have been informed by those who have the care 
of the post office in a certain town containing 
about one thousand inhabitants, that near three 
hundred dollars had passed through the office, 
within the last 9 mouths, for the support of this 
enterprise. Surely such a sacrifice on the part 
of this community ought to bring them back 
something good. What have they got in return ? 
A few good books ;—quite a number of novels 
which it would have been better for them never 
to have seen, a few attic' les of real use, such as 
gold pens, pencils, and cutlery. 
I think we may safely say that one-third the 
amount of this money has been returned in gold 
ornaments, and it is the obtaining of these things 
that constitutes the main stimulus of the trade. 
Yes, this sacrificing community have certainty 
got this—gold ornaments with which we adorn 
the rising generation. This is very apparent. 
But how are the hearts of the young in our 
communities being affected by this operation ? 
Are they increasing in amiableness of disposition; 
in humility of spirit ? Are they governed more 
easily now than before ? Are they less recreant 
to parental advice and religious instruction than 
before ? Has this course of procedure sharpened 
their appetites for the Bible,—for religious read-
ing, the services of God's house, and the Sabbath 
school ? 
Has not this thirst for outward adornment, 
had the effect to crowd out of the family a relig-
ious paper, and to substitute novel reading in its 
stead ? 
Say, young man, young woman, who have 
witnessed a good profession for Christ in days 
past ; as you have engaged in this traffic has 
your soul been made more alive to God ? Has 
your relish for religious society and the prayer 
circle increased ? I entreat of you, Christian pa-
rents and guardians, and young men and women, 
to answer these solemn questions. Be faithful 
with your souls, as those who must give an ac-
count to God. 
Nor are the evils, discoverable in the above 
questions, the only evils arising from patronising 
such a trade. It engenders and strengthens a 
desire to engage in games of chance. The young 
man who has made his 40 or 50 dollars by risk-
ing only one, would not only be more likely to 
risk the same again, but still more, for a greater 
prize ; and thus, step by step, be led to associate 
with those who make l, trade of gambling. 
We believe it to be no way reconcilable 
with the principles of honesty and religion, for 
any man, or company of men, to engage in a busi-
ness, the practice of which operates to allure his 
fellows, and especially the young,—as in our 
opinion does this traffic from---the path of honesty 
and uprightness. 
And equally reprehensible, by the same rule, 
God's word and experience both combine to 
teach us that it is safe to pay a fair price for all 
we need. And if in so doing we may not find 
means to adorn our persons with gold ornaments, 
which may be in the sight of the giddy multitude 
of great importance, such a loss may not hinder 
us from securing to ourselves " the hidden man 
of the heart, even the ornament of a meek and 
quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great 
price." �

I could wish, and I believe the time is not far 
distant, when there shall be a general convention 
of Biblical and Prophetical students in the various 
evangelical denominations, who shall meet in some 
metropolis, to consult and study the scriptures 
relative to the second coming of our Divine Lord 
and Redeemer, and the establishment of his 
kingdom. 
The whole church admit that " the kingdom 
of God is nigh at hand ;" but there is a diversity 
of opinion in reference to the nature of that 
kingdom ,—how it is to be ushered in,—the char-
acter of the second advent, and the ultimate de-
sign of the gospel. May we not hope, therefore, 
that the Lord will, in his providence, bring about 
something of the kind alluded to above, before 
the full glories of Christ in His kingdom shall 
burst upon the world ? So were the Jewish 
church warned at the epoch of Christ's first ad-
vent into our world. Matt. 2. 
What shall be done to this end ? Who can 
suggest any wise means to effect more of a unity 
of faith and hope in respect to the great prophet-
ic event about to be fulfilled ? I have conversed 
with clergymen of different denominations in re-
ference to the propriety and importance of such 
a convention, and who look with great favor and 
desire upon such a gathering. Has not the time 
fully come to suggest to the clergymen of all de-
nominations, and the members of their denomina-
tions---at least those believing in the pre-millen-
nial advent to thus convene and request others of 
their brethren, not in union with their faith, to 
meet insuch a general assembly? And shall not the 
A. M. Association through its officers correspond 
with prominent and pious ministers upon the 
subject, and see if they will look with favor upon 
such a convention ? It may be that during the 
anniversaries this coming spring such a meeting 
might be held, or the steps be taken to hold such 
a meeting at some future date not far distant.

NUMBER I.—A GENERAL SCHEME OR OUTLINE OF 
CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY. 
The term Theology is from two Greek words, 
Theos, God, and logos, word, and is used to des-
ignate man's knowledge of God. 
Theology is divided into Natural and-Revealed 
Theology. 
Natural Theology is the knowledge of God 
derived from the works of Nature. 
Revealed Theology is the knowledge of God 
derived from Revelation. 
Revealed Theology has been divided into 
Jewish and Christian Theology. 
Christian Theology (the Christian Scriptures 
embrace the whole Bible) may be conveniently 
divided into the evidences,—the Doctrines,—the 
Duties and the Institutions of Christianity. 
I. The EVIDENCES of Christianity. These may 
be divided into the presumptive,—the direct 
and the collateral proofs of the Inspiration of the 
Christian Scriptures. 
Under the head of Presumptive evidence the 
Necessity, the Possibility, and the Probability 
of a Revelation are placed. 
The Direct evidence is derived from a consid-
eration of Miracles, Prophecy, and the internal 
character of the Scriptures. 
The Collateral evidences of Christianity em-
brace a large assemblage of indirect and subsid-
iary, but very powerful and confirmatory argu-
ments. The " collateral evidence of a revelation 
from God," says R. *Watson, " may be its agree-
ment in principle with every former revelation, 
should previous revelations have been vouchsaf-
ed;—that it was obviously suited to the circum-
stances of the world at the time of its communi-
cation ;—that it is adapted to effect the great 
moral ends which it purposes, and has actually 
effected them ;—that if it contain a record of 
facts as well as of doctrines, those historical facts 
agree with the credible traditions and histories of 
the same times;—that monuments, either natural 
or instituted, remain to attest the truth of its his-
tory ;—that adversaries have made concessions 
in its favor ; and that, should it profess to be a 
universal and ultimate revelation of the will and 
mercy of God to man, it maintains its adaptation 
to the case of the human race, and its efficiency, 
to the present day. These, and many other cir-
cumstances, may be ranked under the head of 
collateral evidence." 
The student at this stage of his investigations, 
may also weigh the evidence which goes to estab- 
Original. 
The Ultimate Design of the Gospel. 
No. I. 
It is greatly to be regretted that some of the 
most intelligent, able, worthy, and pious of the 
Christian ministry, as well as churches, in our 
day, on both continents, are so much in the dark 
in respect to the true nature of the kingdom of 
God, and of the hastening events of prophecy 
about to be fulfilled ; and that they so interpret 
the promises and prophecies of the word, and the 
design of the gospel therein revealed, as to make 
the saying in the least applicable to them ; 
" Can the blind lead the blind ? shall they not 
both fall into the ditch ?" 
We do hope and pray that these men of God 
and churches of Christ Jesus will yet see the 
true light which is shining " more and more unto 
the perfect day," and come out of the wilderness 
of error in which the great body of the church is 
involved before " the great and notable day of 
the Lord come." It must be so : for " God is 
light, and in him is no darkness at all," and his 
people and ministers must "walk in the light, as 
He is in the light." God will increase the light 
shining from his blessed Word ; multiply and 
increase the signs of the times betokening the 
dawn of the immortal day, so that all true believ-
ers shall hear and see the evidences of the com-
ing glories of the kingdom, now nigh at hand. 
The ministry and church at large will be as 
faithfully warned and enlightened on the second 
coming of Christ, as were the church at his 
first advent, and they shall have the privilege of 
joyfully receiving the good news, or rejecting it, 
as did the Jewish church, to whom Christ first 
came and proffered the glories of his kingdom. 
Let us pray that the Lord will enlighten the 
watchmen upon the walls, to give the trumpet 
its certain sound, to awaken Zion out of her 
slumbers before the coming of her heavenly Lord 
and King in the glories of his everlasting king-
dom ; and let those of us who see that " day ap-

Thy Kingdom Come. 
No. 1. 
 
Biro. Bliss :—There is extant an exposition of 
the Lord's prayer, written about A. D. 252, by 
Thascius Cyprian, archbishop of Carthage and 
primate of all Africa, who sealed his testimony 
with his blood in the year 258. As the readers 
of the Herald have their attention called to this 
Prayer by your series of articles on it, I pre-
sume it would be interesting to some of them to 
know whether the petition �
Thy kingdom 
come"—was understood in that early age as hav-
ing reference to a kingdom still future, or Wq8 
applied to " a spiritual kingdom" already estab-
lished and whose advancement was desired. Per-
mit me, therefore to quote from Marshall's trans-
lation of the genuine works of this " venerable 
father" all that he has said on these words. He 
writes thus— 
We go on, and make it our farther request, 
that his kingdom may come ; where our meaning 
is, that the kingdom of God may be exhibited to 
us, and that we may have our part in it, as be-
fore we had asked, that his name might be hal-
lowed in us. For there is no time in truth and 
strictness wherein he doth not actually reign ; 
nor can that be properly said to have a beginning 
which was from all eternity, and shall continue 
for ever. �
We therefore beseech him that the 
kingdom may come wherein we are interested, 
which God hath promised, and Christ bath pur-
chased for us with his blood ; that we who have 
lived in this world as slaves and servants, may 
reign hereafter with Christ our head, as he hath 
Come, ye blessed of my Fa-

And can the faithful servants of so good and 
faithful a Master, heedlessly proclaim to the 
world, that any of the fallen race of Adam have 
obtained redemption, ere the day of salvation 
had dawned or the acceptable year of the Lord 
had arrived ? Tell it not in Gath, publish it not 
in the streets of Askelon, lest the uncircumcised 
in heart, and ears, triumph ; but rather let the 
truth be declared to penitent sinners, that now, 
" if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God 
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be 
saved." Rom. 10:9 ; for it is " the gospel" that 
is the power of God unto salvation ; neither is 
there salvation in any other name under heaven, 
given among men, (than the Lord Jesus Christ,) 
whereby mankind must be saved. 
It seems impossible to take any scriptural view 
of truth, without being convinced that the glad 
tidings of the Kingdom of God, as expounded by 
Christ, is the centre of divine truth—the central 
point of all prophecy, and the heavenly lumin-
ary that exhibits the true glory of immortality. 
This good news of the promised gift of etern-
al life to all believers, Christ, the Son God, was 
sent to preach and expound, and it is written, 
His sheep hear his voice; therefore, the sheep for 
whom he laid down his life, do both hear, and 
understand, the mysteries of the kingdom of 
heaven,—in this acceptable year, or Day of Sal-
vation. 
Christ was not only anointed to preach the 
glad tidings to the meek, and proclaim the ac-
ceptable year of the Lord, but He commanded 
the Jews, also to preach the kingdom of God, 
and in his last parting farewell with his disciples 
he likewise commanded them to go into all the 
world, and preach the good news to every crea-
ture, as the means of salvation, comforting them 
with the assurance, that he is with them always, 
even unto the end of the Aion. 
As however, it is a question of primary im-
portance, how shall they preach, except they be 
sent? men would do well, ere they undertake 
that responsibility, to ascertoin whether they are 
delegated by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the gos-
pel ; for without such divine authority, they will, 
doubtless, pervert the gospel, by preaching an-
other gospel, than that declared by Christ and 
his apostles, not being either the gospel of God, 
the gospel of Christ, or the gospel of salvation. 
Dangerous indeed, the task, to run, before being 
sent of God, to proclaim his will, for not only 
themselves, but others, equally blind, may thus 
be misled into the pit of destruction, not observ-
ing the warning waymark, " If the gospel be hid 
it is hid to them that are lost." 2 Cor. 4:3. 
But., beloved christian brethren, " I am persua-
ded better things of you, and things that accom-
pany salvation; for God is not unrighteous, to 
forget your work and labor of love, which ye 
have shewed towards his name." Heb. 6:9,10.—
Therefore, continue to proclaim to the world, 
that Jacob, the representative of the Israel of 
God waited, and David " longed," for the sal-
vation of God ; and the crown of righteousness 
is reserved, for all those who love his appearing ; 
for they shall thus be privileged to greet his glo-
rious advent. 
" 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," 
Isa. 25:9. 
" And then, thou 0 Lord, wilt perform the 
truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which 
thou hast sworn unto our Fathers, from the days 
of old." Micah 7:20. 
Then verily the earth shall yield her increase;

ing spirits, as its reverberations fall on his ear, 
though amidst surrounding gloom. It comes not 
from this sin-cursed earth. Earth has no such 
strains ; but it comes from afar—the world above 
---the Throne of the Eternal. 
Christians have in all ages looked forward to 
this day with joyful anticipation ; and have pass-
ed away without realizing its glad fruition. But 
the time will come when it will be a reality; and 
There is music in these words 
Concluded. 
Doubtless, the seed, innumerable, to whom the 
divine promise was made, are not the posterity 
of Abraham born after the flesh, but both Jews 
and Gentiles, "born of the Spirit," in accordance 
with the birth of Christ, (Matt. 1:20,—Luke 1: 
35,) a mystery, which the Jews never understood 
—there is however good ground to believe, that 
the Jews, who reject Christ, are the descendants 
of Ishmael, inasmuch as they are ever prone to 
persecute him that is born after the Spirit, repre-
sented by Ishmael mocking Isaac, and which is 
referred to by the Apostle Paul, as being typi-
cal of, " men born after the flesh, and not of the 
Spirit." Likewise Christ said to the Jews, when 
boasting of their descent from Abraham, "I know 
that ye are Abraham's seed, but if ye were Abra-
ham's children, ye would do the works of Abra-
ham," John 8:31,39. By " obedience, through 
Faith," verily, therefore, they are not all Israel, 
(the " Israel of God") which are of Israel, neith-
er because they are the seed of Abraham, are 
they all children of Abraham," under the prom-
ise. " They which are the children of the flesh, 
are not the children of God ;" and hence " he is 
not a Jew, who is one outwardly," no difference 
having been put between Jews and Gentiles, un-
der the covenant promises ; for whatever may be 
his cast, " except a man, be born again, he can-
not see the Kingdom of God ;" or " Except a 
man be born of water,(cleansed from inherent pol-
lution) and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the 
kingdom of God." John 3:3,5. Such, then are 
the Israel of God, to whom, exclusively, the cove-
nant promises appertain,—Men born of God; 
and this renewed condition the often perverted 
text, " For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ 
shall all be made alive ;" or, " As by one man's 
disobedience, many were made sinners," inherent-
ly so, and therefore, mortal, even " so by the 
obedience of One, shall many be made right-
eous,"—born of God,and thus partake of immor-
tality, " for, if any man have not the Spirit of 
Christ, he is none of his ;" and therefore, " he 
that bath the Son bath life, and he that bath not 
the Son of God, bath not life." 
Such and such only, shall be made alive at the 
resurrection of the just, in the likeness of Christ, 
immortal, incorruptible, and in none other state 
or condition have mankind any just ground for 
hope, to enter the promised land of Canaan, the 
New Jerusalem, the City of the great King, 
whose own rightful inheritance it is, according to 
the promises of God, not only as the circumcised 
Seed of Abraham, but the only existing Heir to 
the Throne of his father, David, and, until that 
true Heir return, to stand again with his feet on 
Mount Olivet, and there triumphantly claim the 
kingdom, as King of kings and Lord of lords, 
Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, 
nor shall that decree be annulled, until the times 
of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 
The gospel, or glad tidings of that glorious 
Kingdom, is verily, the doctrine of Christ ;—but 
inasmuch as it originated with the Father, Christ 
declares, " My doctrine is not mine, but His that 
sent me." He was sent from God, to preach and 
expound the mysteries of that kingdom, and thus 
reveal the means whereby God has designed to 
give to his people Israel the heritage of the hea-
then, (Ps. 111:5,6, ) and, at the same time 
bring life eternal and immortality to light—a con-
dition of man, which he had never hitherto clear-
ly discerned.

him that sent me, and to finish his work ;" or in 
other words, the main cause of my existence, is 
to fulfill all the mind of God, and wherein Adam

BOSTON, MARCH 10, 1860. 
SYLVESTER BLISS, EDITOR. 
The readers of the Herald are most earnestly besought to 
give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God may 
be honored and his truth advanced ; also, that it may be 
conducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judgment and 
discernment of the truth, in nothing carried away into 
error, or hasty speech, or sharp, unbrotherly disputation. 
OUR LORD'S PRAYER. 
III. PETITION. 
had occasion to exclaim with David, " I have sinned 
against the Lord ?" 2 Sam. 12:13. �
" If we say 
we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth 
is not in us," 1 John 1:8. " Behold, I was shapen 
in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me," 
Pea. 51:5 " For there is not a just man upon earth 
that doeth good and sinneth not," Eccl. 7:20. "For 
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God," 
Rom. 3:23. " There is none righteous, no not one," 
v. 10. " The Scripture hath concluded all under 
sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might 
be given to them that believe," Gal. 3:22. 
How then " should man be just with God ? If he 
will contend with him he cannot answer him one of 
a thousand," Job 9:2,3. He is " justified freely by 
his grace through the redemption that is in Christ 
Jesus" Rom. 3:24. And therefore, " Though your 
sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow ; 
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as 
wool," 2:18. For God has said, " I even I am he 
that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own 
sake, and will not remember thy sins," Isa. 43:25. 
" I have blotted out as a thick cloud, thy transgres-
sions, and as a cloud thy sins," 44:22. 
As God is such a prayer hearing and sin pardon-
ing God, we should therefore draw nigh unto him in 
humble confidence and cry mightily unto him, "Have 
mercy upon me, 0 God, according to thy loving 
kindness : according unto the multitude of thy ten- 
der mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me 
thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from 
my sin ; for I acknowledge my transgressions, and 
my sin is ever before me." " Purge me with hyssop 
and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter 
than snow. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot 
out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, 
0 Lord, and renew a right spirit within me," Pea. 
51:1-10. " Pardon our iniquity and our sin," Ex. 
34:9. " For thy name's sake, 0 Lord pardon mine 
iniquity," Psa. 25:11. �
For " who is a God like 
unto thee,that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the 
transgression of the remnant of his heritage," Mic. 
7:18. " Who can understand his errors? Cleanse 
thou me from secret faults," Pea. 19:12. 
Those who thus cry for pardon, in the name of 
Christ, and will believe that God hears them, will 
assuredly receive the forgiveness sought. "For the 
Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to 
all that call upon him in truth," Pea. 145:18. Bank-
rupt debtors are thus freely forgiven all their debts, 
and are admitted into the everlasting kingdom as 
sons and daughters of the most High. That we may 
be thus freely justified by thy grace 0 Lord, enable 
us ever to pray, penitently and believing, " Forgive 
us our debts." 
Eve-Living. 
Bro. Bliss :--If consistent will you answer the 
following ? 
Adam's "help-meet" was first named woman ; but 
after sin entered into our world, her name was 
changed to Eve, " because she was the mother of all 
living." Gen. 3:20. 
To show that Adam was not to be deprived of 
his headship. Ile was still to be " head of the wo-
man," even in his fall, and as such he names her. 
To shew, that though Adam had so cruelly 
flung blame upon her before God, yet no estrange- 
ment had followed. She was still bone of his bone. 
They had been companions in guilt, they were to be 
companions in sorrow, and they were fellow heirs of 
the hope just held out to them. Thus they were 
reunited in new bonds of mingled sadness and joy. 
To shew the direction in which Adam's 
thoughts were running, that from this manifestation 
of the currents of his thoughts we might learn how 
the promise had taken hold of him. This verse gives us 
unequivocal insight into the state of Adam's feelings. 
It exhibits him to us as one who understood, be-
lieved, prized, rested on the divine promise which he 
had just heard. He stands before us as a believing 
man : and we might say of him, " by faith Adam 
called his wife's name Eve." It is the voice of a 
believing man that speaks. One cannot mistake 
either the word or tone. Unbelief could not have 
spoken thus; none but a believer could have thought 
on a such a name-a name that takes all its signifi-
cancy from the promise-Life, or the Living One,-
doomed, and yet living,-nay, dead by law, yet liv-
ing ; mother of the living ; mother of a spared race ; 
mother of one who is the Prince of life, " the resur-
rection and the life ;" mother of a family of men, 
alive from the dead ! He takes the promise, he pon-
ders it, he receives it as a faithful saying and worthy 
of all acceptation, and, on thus receiving it, he gives 
vent to his feeling, and utterance to his faith, in 
this expressive name. 
What can this verse be but the solemn utterance 
of Adam's faith in the divine promise ? Surely this 
is one of the most simple and child-like, yet one of 
the most expressive ways of proclaiming his faith ; 
and as Abraham expressed his faith by calling his 
son Isaac, the " child of gladness," so did Adam by 
naming his wife Eve, " the mother of the living." 
He looks at her and says, " I see in thee the divine 
promise all realized,-life, not death, coming from 
thee ; God carrying out his purpose of grace in thy 
seed, though afar off ; I see in thee the pledge and 
embodiment of divine forgiveness and love, and I 
proclaim my faith in all this before God and before 
posterity, by naming thee Eve." Thie name is not 
the mere burst of feeling or a vague expression of ac-
quieIcence or wonder ; it is the explicit confession of 
his faith. It is as a believing man that he speaks-
a man strong in faith, and wishing to hand down to 
posterity a declaration of his confidence in the prom-
ise of a gracious God. 
How simple is his faith ! He has just been listen-
ing to the voice of God announcing grace and life 
through grace; and forthwith he believes. He cav-
ils not, questions not. A dark cloud had come be-
tween him and God ; but now that cloud has passed, 
and the true light is shining again. He has just for 
a moment tasted the bitter cup of separation from 
his God (and who can tell the agony of that inter-
val ?), and straightway he is brought back to his fa-
ther's love and bosom. The child has but wandered 
a few steps from the parental door, when it is 
snatched up by the fond mother's arm and replaced 
beneath the happy roof, never more to stray. The 
sheep has but gone a little way from the fold, 
enough to feel the bleakness and famine of the des-
ert, when it is seized by the shepherd's strong hand 
and carried back in joy. 
How immediately and how simply he believes ! 
" Faith comes by hearing ;" he heard and believed, 
taking God at his word, and giving him credit for 
speaking nothing but the truth, though no sign was 
given. God had spoken ; who was he that he should 
doubt or hesitate, or reckon it presumption to return 
to God at once? He has spoken but dimly, no doubt; 
it is a very brief word of promise, yet he sees in 
these few words the free love of a forgiving God-
and that is enough. He tastes that the Lord is gra-
cious ; and how sweet must that cup of grace have 
been to the parched lips of Adam ! God has spoken 
once ; but that once suffices, for he with whom he 
has to do is the God that cannot lie. We, with a 
thousand promises and assurances of love, doubt and 
tremble ; Adam with but one word, unratified by 
sign or token, believes. 
If any onenlight have needed a sign, it was Adam. 
If any one might have said, " I ant too great a sin-
ner, I dare not at once believe," ft was Adam. For 
his was deep guilt indeed : he had ruined a world ; 
he had let in the flood of evil upon the earth ; he had 
banished God from it ; he had helped God's enemy 
to triumph ; he had known what holiness was, and 
therefore knew what sin was. If any might have 
shrunk from trusting at once, it was Adam. Yet 
he believed, and it was counted unto him for righte-
ousness. Nay, he not only believed, but he " con-
fessed with his mouth :" he testified his faith ; he 
proclaimed his sure hope of everlasting life.

We are sorry to announce so small a show of re-

did ?-who " rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into 
the chest, until they had made an end," 2 Ch. 24: 
10. In the days of Hezekiah, when the tithes and 
offerings to the Lord greatly accumulated the testi-
mony among Israel was : " Since the people began 
to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we 
have had enough to eat, and hav4 left plenty ; for 
the Lord hath blessed his people !" It is not al-
ways considered that giving generously may impov-
erish much less than withholding. For as the Lord 
loveth the cheerful giver, he may bless in proportion 
as he loveth. 
WEST TOWNSEND FEMALE SEMINARY. We take pleas-
ure in calling attention to the advertisement of the 
West Townsend Female Seminary, to be found in 
another column,-under the care of its efficient and 
accomplished superintendent. Any of the friends 
wishing for such an institution for the education of 
their children, will find it what they desire. 
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 the comple-
tion of the payment of the purchase of the office 
by the A.M.A. ; and to make the Association an 
efficient instrumentality for good. 
4. �
The Forgiveness of Sin. 
" And forgive us our debts." Matt. 6:12. 
In this petition we pray for the forgiveness of our 
sins, which are denominated, by a metaphor, debts 
due to the Almighty. In Luke's Gospel it reads, 
" And forgive us our sins." (1:4.) 
Jehovah proclaimed himself to Moses, as " The 
Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long 
suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keep-
ing mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and 
transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear 
the guilty," Ex. 34:6,7. And lie has said, "If we con-
fess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 
1 John 1:9. For " the blood of Jesus Christ his 
Son cleanseth from all sin" (v. 7.) " And he is the 
propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only but 
also for the sins of the whole world." Ib. 2:2. Thus 
God can " be just, and the justifier of him that be-
lieveth in Jesus," Rom. 3:26. �
NV herefore " all 
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto 
men, but the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost," Matt. 
12:31. We are thus emboldened to pray, Forgive 
us our debts. 
To pray as we ought for the pardon of these, we 
need to consider their number and magnitude. 
We owe a debt of gratitude for God's abound-
ing mercies : " Who redeemeth thy life from destruc-
tion ; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and 
tender mercies ; who satisfieth thy mouth with good 
things, so that thy youth is renewed as the eagle's". 
Psa. 105:5. " Who giveth rain upon the earth, and 
sendeth waters upon the fields," Job. 5:10. He it 
is who giveth us life, and health, and all things, 
whose mercies are new every morning, are fresh eve-
ry evening, and are repeated continually ; and for 
all his favors to 11,1, he is entitled to our supreme 
love and gratitude. We have not only withholden 
these, but, 
We have transgressed the commands of God 
in times and ways without number. Who has not 
Question 1. Does not the original contain the 
following ideas ? " And Adam called his wife's 
name Eve, because she was (to be) the mother of all 
living," (in Christ, or, the promised " seed" :) 
. . . it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise 
his heel." Gen. 3:15. 
Question 2. Does not the original convey the 
idea of a restitution or restoration ? 
ANSWER. - Woman signifies, the Man derived ; 
and Eve, Life or Living. We do not regard it as a 
change of name, but as an additional one. And 
there does seem to be a connection between Adam's 
thus naming the woman, and the promise that her 
should bruiss Satan's head. Mr. Boner, in the seed 
" London Quarterly Journal of Prophecy" for Jan. 
1853, has the following thoughts on this passage : 
What space may have intervened between the an-
nouncement of the sentence, and the scene in this 
20th verse, we know not. We may suppose it to 
have taken place when Adam and his wife retired 
from the present vision of Jehovah. They talked or 
silently mused together over what had just befallen 
them,-over the evil and the good, the falling and 
the rising, the condemnation and the pardon, the 
curse and the blessing, the past, the present, and the 
future of their life. Then the man as if catching up 
the notes of grace which were just dying away amid 
the trees of the garden, adds his Amen, and embodies 
them in the name of her who was now doubly knit 
to him, doubly one with himself. 
The tact that it was not God but Adam that gave 
the name to the woman teaches us much. Why did 
not God give Eve her name as he had done to Adam? 
God did not allow him to name himself, even in his 
innocence ; yet now in his fall he permits him to 
name the woman, nay sanctions his so doing. This 
was for such reasons as the following : 
1, �
To show his grace. What grace, what tender 
love is displayed in allowing man to give a name to 
his wife,-and such a name,-Eve-Life ! 
Daniel's Image should be, and stated that should ten 
dollars be received to pay for its being engraved, we 
should so order ; and that its being done would de-
pend on that amount being received. We have had 
the following response. 
Brother Bliss :-I will give one dollar to help pay 
for the Image. I think we need it. 
Come christians, you that have the dollars, let us 
have the Image-only nine more wanted.

CASSELL'S ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE.-This 
celebrated English Illustrated Royal Quarto 
Bible,-of which the publishers announce that over 
200, 000 copies have been sold in Great Britain,-
is now being republished by Cassell, Petter and 
Galpin, at 37 Park Row, New York. It is being is-
sued in about fifty Nos. of 32 pages each, at 15 cents 
a No. on the let and 15th of each month till com-
pleted. 
We are indebted to the publishers for a copy of 
the 1st No. issued Feb. 1st, with which we are much 
pleased. Its type and paper are excellent, and its 
illustrations,-of which there are 32 in this No. and 
some of them covering an entire page,-are superb. 
It is accompanied with marginal referencesiand short 
and comprehensive foot notes, which are not to be 
sectarian. The religious press of all denominations, 
as well as the secular press, commend it in high 
terms : and we feel to accord fully with the judg-
ments they express. Should future Nos. equal the 
first, it will make a magnificent illustrated edition 
of God's revealed word. 
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. Brown. Have forwarded your letter to J. M. 
Orrock. We regard the papacy as symbolized by 
the image of a beast, by a woman on a beast, &c., 
but never by a beast ; and the Little Horn of Dan. 
8th, we regard not as symbolic of Rome, but of the 
eastern division of that empire. 
J. M. Orrock. Please forward those expositions 
by British reformers. Everything of that kind is 
acceptable. 
THE Haar.-We are now out of the small Harp, 
but have an abundance of the larger one on hand. 
As it is wished to reduce the supply of this, before 
republishing the smaller form, it will be put for a 
while at the reduced price of 70 cents, and one fourth 
off from that, by the Doz. 
To R. Robertson, Esq., our English Agent. Will 
you be kind enough to send us a copy of the two

your account with the A. M. A.-informing us of 
their price and cost of transportation.

THE ADVEN r HERALD. 
A Bonus AFFAIR.—We have received several letters 
of enquiry respecting a firm in this city, advertizing 
to sell sewing machines, whose circulars have been sent 
all over the south and west, advertizing, for agents, 
and wanting money sent on for a sample machine. 
We are sorry to announce that it is not safe to send 
on money previous to the receipt of the machine ; 
and that the machine is not sold in this neighborhood. 
We make this statement lest others of our subscrib-
ers may be induced to embark in their sewing ma-
chine agency, and expend time or money without any 
subsequent reward,—the machines not being sent 
when the money is forwarded. 
If any wish for a reliable machine, and to learn 
of a reliable firm, we can recommend the Grover and 
Baker Co. and their machine—being personally ac-
quainted with them, and having had one of their ma-
chines, which works to a charm, in our family for 
more than a year. 
" HIS WAY."—" Religion is designed to reform 
men inwardly and outwardly. Hence the command, 
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighte-
ous man his thoughts.' Anything short of this is 
spurious religion, and will fail of heaven. Yet how 
common is the extenuating plea for those inconsist-
encies of spirit and action which religion positively 
forbids—' 0, it is only his way !' is the apolo-
gy often made for profanity, anger, censoriousness, 
an overbearing, arbitrary and malicious spirit. We 
often find men professing godliness, and holding 
prominent places in the church, who seem barren of 
all the milder and sweeter graces of the Spirit, but 
bristle all over with the thorns and thistles of the 
old man,' giving evidence of no weeding, if not of 
no seeding. Instead of the lamb-fleece, behold the 
porcupine's asperity. 
" To say that a man is a Christian, a real follower 
of the meek, forgiving and loving Redeemer, when 
in his heart and life he is habitually covetous, or un-
kind, or revengeful, contradicts every true conver-
sion, from Zaccheus'and Saul, to Bunyan and Afri-
caner. When God converts a man, he does it clear 
through the lowest strata of depravity. It works 
upwards to head, lips, hands, putting out the blos-
soms of grace in a renewed nature, in words and acts 
corresponding with the change." 
The foregoing, from a correspondent of the Watch-
man and Reflector, is sensibly expressed, and should 
be pondered by all whose " ways" contravene the 
way in which they should walk. 
THE ISLAND OF NEW ENGLAND.—It iS probable 
that few persons living in New Eng. ever considered 
that it is entirely surrounded by water—being bound-
ed by the St. Lawrence, Lake Champlain, the Hud-
son and Champlain canal, the Hudson river, Long 
Island sound, and the Atlantic ocean. Independent 
of the canal, it is called a peninsula by Prof. Guyot; 
and after him by Dr. Palfrey, who in his recent vol. 
of New England history, thus describes it : 
The insulation of this tract is all but complete. 
The tide runs up the St. Lawrence nearly five hun-
dred miles, almost reaching the point where the riv-
er Richelieu, or Sorel, discharges the surplus waters 
of Lake George and Lake Champlain. The surface 
of Lake Champlain is only ninety feet above the 
ocean ; the canal which now unites its waters with 
those of Hudson river running in an opposite direc-
tion, scarcely rises fifty more to its highest level ; 
and at Troy and Albany, a hundred and fifty miles 
from the sea, the tide is met again, coming up from 
the South. Of that long depression of nine hundred 
miles from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to the 
mouth of the Hudson, the tide waters cover six hun-
dred and fifty miles ; while for the remaining two 
hundred and fifty the elevation above the ocean is 
not so great as is reached by ordinary structures rear-
ed by the hand of man. A level way was prepared 
by nature, along which the travel and the commerce 
of tranquil times have at length succeeded to the in-
cursions of savage or of civilized war. They area thus 
defined as one physical region, and measuring with 
the neighboring islands about a hundred and forty-
five thousand square miles, is occupied by the British 
Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, with 
part of that of Lower Canada ; the six States of the 
American Union, known by the collective name of 
New England ; and a narrow section of the State of 
New York." P. 2. 
Foreign News. 
By the arrival of the steamship Anglo Saxon at 
Portland, we have four days later foreign news. The 
Anglo Saxon does not bring a list of the Hunga-
rian's passengers, but her officers say they did not 
exceed thirty-five or thirty-six in number. The Ital-
ian question has assumed a new shape through the 
English proposals to annex the Duchies to Sardinia. 
Austria will not oppose the project by force of arms, 
but falls hack on the treaty of Villafranca, and will 
only negotiate with France. Russia does not consid-
er the proposals a solution of the difficulty, and Prus- 
sia will refuse her consent to the arrangement.—
Meantime, a Congress is again talked of. Proceed- 
ings in Parliament had been interesting, but not of 
special importance to American readers. �
Austria 
 
appears inclined to soothe her Hungarian subjects, 
the Protestant consistories having received permis-
sion to deliberate upon their grievances and propose 
measures to the government. �
Reforms are also to 
be granted, when every province will receive a separ-
ate Constitution. 
THE ITALIAN QUESTION.—Le Nord says the reply 
of Austria to the English propositions for settlement 
of the Italian question had reached Paris. �
Count 
Rechberg states that Austria cannot retract from the 
engagements at Villafranca and Zurich, and there-
fore cannot admit the de jure facts contrary to those 
engagements and the treaty between France and Aus-
ria. Ile observes that if the treaty of Zurich is re-
spected in Venetia, why should it not also be re-
spected in the Italian duchies? If the propositions 
of England are carried out, it is a great experiment 
that is about to be made in Central Italy. Austria 
will not oppose that experiment by force of arms,con-
vinced that events will not fail soon to give support 
to the cause of right, and justify Austria. 
A Berlin telegram on the same subject says Aus-
tria had declared her resolution not to abandon the 
basis of the agreement at Villafranca ; that she will 
not promise an absolute non-intervention ; and that 
should no Congress take place, she will only negoti-
ate with France. 
According to a St. Petersburg dispatch, Prince 
Gortschakoff had informed the French Government 
that Russia does not consider the English proposals 
to be altogether a solution of the Italian difficulty, 
and that a real understanding could only result from 
a Conference of the Five Great Powers. �
It is said 
that the French Ambassador expressed to Prince 
Gortschakoff the readiness of his government to ad-
here to the proposals of Russia. 
Reports had been circulated in Paris of an ap-
proaching Conference of the Four Great Powers, 
without Austria, relative to the English proposals, 
but they are stated to be without foundation. Doubt 
is also thrown on an assertion of Le Nord that the 
reply of Austria had reached Paris. 
A Berlin dispatch says that Prussia would proba-
bly refuse to give her adhesion to the English propo- 
sals. 
FRANCE.—The Paris Presse had received a first 
warning for having mixed false news with most male-
volent remarks, which wound the feelings of the na-
tion, and are contrary to the true state of affairs. 
file Gazette de France bad received a secofid warn-
ing for an article which, " in disfiguring the history 
of France, calumniates the great act by which Na-
poleon I. re-established the Catholic worship in 
France." 
The Pope had addressed a letter to the Bishop of 
Orleans, thanking him for his energetic support. 
The Paris correspondent of the Globe states that 
the French Government had bought the Debate for 
£100,000, and it is to become the organ of free trade, 
with Michel Chevalier as editor. 
SPAIN AND MOROCCO.—A Madrid telegram of the 
13th says : " The Spanish Cabinet will listen to no 
proposals of peace from Morocco until Tangier is 
taken, against which place, military operations are 
to be commenced immediately." 
Marshall O'Donnell announces in an order of the 
day that he will continue offensive operations until the 
enemy shall ask the mercy of Spain, and until re-
prisals shall have been taken for the insults of the 
enemy, and indemnity obtained for the sacrifices of 
Spain. 
ITALY.—The Tuscan Moniteur announces that the 
Sardinian legation at Florence is shortly to be sup-
pressed, and that the Tuscan government will corres-
pond directly with the Ministry of the Interior and 
Foreign Affairs at Turin. 
The Opinione Turin says the question of the new 
vote to be given by Central Italy is not yet resolved 
on. �
The Deputies sle rtly to be elected will assem- 
ble probably to confirm preceding deliberations, and 
to declare that they will take their seats in the Par-
liament at Turin. 
Furloughs granted to the French soldiers at Rome 
had been suspended. 
It was reported that the King of Naples had or-
dered General Pinnelli, in case of need, to act in con-
cert with the Pope's general. 
Letters from Italy announce that political arrests 
and excesses of the Police were increasing. Women 
had been ravished and beaten by them ; political pris- 
oners had died under torture. �
Several magistrates 
had in vain protested against these barbarous acts. 
Private accounts from Naples state that a conspir-
acy had been discovered among a portion of the Ne-
apolitan army, and had been traced to Piedmontese 
agency. Naples, it was said, would address a note 
to the Powers, complaining of these attempts. 
It was stated that the King of Naples had ordered 
the release of political prisoners arrested upon sus-
picion. 
DENMARK.—Bishop Monrad, who was in Paris, 
had been asked by telegraph if he would undertake 
the formation of a new Danish Ministry, with unlim-
ited power. He replied affirmatively. 
AUSTRIA.—The Vienna Gazette publishes a circu-
lar to the Protestant consistories in Hungary, con- 
veying the Imperial permission for them to assemble 
in conference to decide on the means to be proposed 
to the Government for the redress of their grievan-
ces. 
A Vienna dispatch of the 13th says that the re-
forms promised in the Ministerial programme are 
about to be granted. Every Province will receive a 
separate Constitution and an administration accord-
ing to the wants of the different Nationalities. 
CHINA.—The Times is informed that Lord Elgin 
will undertake a second mission as Plenipotentiary 
to China, in the hope of being able, by the influence 
obtained on his former visit, to secure the ratification 
of the treaty of Tien-sein, and an entire cessation of 
hostilities. 
VERY LATEST, via Queenstown. Liverpool, Feb. 
16. (By Telegraph Thursday Afternoon) Mr. Veuil-
lot, editor of the (late) Univere, has arrived at Rome. 
A pamphlet from his pen is shortly expected to make 
its appearance, simultaneously at Paris, Brussels 
and Genoa. 
The Paris correspondent of the Herald says that if 
the intense uneasiness and apprehension which pre-
vails in France were made known through a free 
press, it would create consternation throughout Eu-
rope. 
The Times correspondent notices the same in con-
nection with the intensity of feeling which prevails 
on the Roman question. Masses and prayers for the 
Pope are offered up in every church throughout 
France day after day, and violent and insidious pam-
phlets are appearing with scarcely any cessation. 
The Journal de Rouen has been informed that the 
French Government has entered into relations with 
Prussia as a member of the Zollverein, with the view 
of negotiating a treaty on a basis similar to the one 
between France and England. Prussia, it is said, 
made the first advance. 
The Vienna correspondent of the times says that in 
general the agitation in Germany in favor of the 
Pope has failed. 
AUSTRIA.—A Vienna correspondent of the 11th 
ult. writes : 
" As Marshal Valliant has received orders to move 
his troops in brigades towards Brescia, the Lombards 
now speak of little but the approaching attack on 
Venetia. According to the Italians, the Austrians 
are to be driven back to the Isonzo, and the Pope is 
to be deprived of the whole of his dominions north 
of the Appenines. The Austrian government, being 
well aware that mischief is meant, is making prepar-
ations for giving a warm reception to its assailants. 
The troops stationed in the Southern Tyrol are about 
to march into Venetia, and several regiments are to 
be sent from the city to the south. The fortifica-
tions on the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts are com-
pleted, but they are said to be much less efficient 
than they might be made. The fortresses of Vero-
na, Legnago, Mantua and Peschiera have received 
large supplies of provisions and ammunition." 
SICILY.—A letter from Turin says : 
" Letters received here from Sicily announce that 
the political arrests and the excesses of the police are 
increasing. The political prisoners have been put to 
the torture, under which some of them died. �
Sev- 
eral magistrates have in vain protested against these 
barbarous acts. A proclamation is in circulation 
exhorting the Sicilians to rise in a speedy and gener-
al insurrection, in order to reinvest Southern Italy 
with her former rights in Europe. All parties in 
Sicily are alike favorable to the cessation of despot-
ism. In the above proclamation it is said. Let us 
hope that Naples will follow our example. �
The 
time for moderation has passed away ; henceforth we 
must be daring. Let us rise in the name of Italian 
nationality, and to the cry of Italy and Victor Em-
manuel forever.' " 
LETTER FROM THE POPE.—The Pope has addressed 
a letter to the Bishop of Orleans, of which the follow-
ing is the material part : 
" Venerable brother, health and apostolic benedic-
tion. In this great trouble of Italy, which has vio-
lently overthrown Sovereigns, and ruined through-
out the 2Emilia and the Romagna the legitimate au-
thority of the Holy See, that which the contrivers 
and promoters of the rebellion desire—their last 
thought in fact—has been fully disclosed by that 
work, full of deception, which has been published in 
France, and has been circulated not only in the cit-
ies,but also in all the hamlets of Italy. As for you, 
venerable brother, you at once perceived the detesta-
ble object of that production, and you applied your-
self immediately, resolutely and courageously, to its 
refutation. �
Your energy, and firmness of soul are 
admired even by the enemies of our temporal sover-
eignty. The good celebrate it everywhere in the ef-
fusion of their souls, and, venerable brother, for this 
new and signal service which you have rendered to 
the Apostolic See and to our sovereignty we address 
to you, fraternally, our most sincere thanks." 
WRECK OF THE HUNGARIAN.—Iialifax, March 2. 
An official letter has just been received from Mr. 
Townsend, government agent at the wreck. He 
says it is now ascertained, beyond doubt, that no 
survivors exist. Only three bodies have been found 
—one woman, one man, supposed a fireman, and one 
child two years old. The cargo and materials are 
scattered along shore from Tusket round Cape Sable as 
far east as Ragged Island. A considerable quanti-
ty of goods are drifting ashore at the mouth of Shel-
burne Harbor. The country people, generally are 
acting honestly. Three stores have been hired at 
Barrington in which to collect the property, which 
is of considerable value. 
Thu ship's articles have been found, showing sev-
enty-four crew. No passenger list has been found, 
and the rumored finding of the clearance is untrue. 
The only passengers who were known to be on the 
Hungarian were William Boultenhouse, of Sackville, 
N. B., and Dr. Barritt, of New York, whose box 
was found, containing a number of letters from his 
wife and daughter. 
ITEMS AND NEWS. 
One of the most, perhaps the most influential or-
gan of Romanism in France was the Univers. 
Against freedom in the Church and State it was 
constantly directing its artillery. But the gun is 
now spiked, for Napoleon has suppressed the paper. 
This foreshadows his future policy ; and unless Pio 
Nono keeps a sharp look out, he will fare no better 
at the hands of the present Emperor, than Pius VII 
fared at the hands of his illustrious uncle. , Unless 
we misinterpret prophecy and the signs of the times, 
we are on the eve of great events.—Hartford Rel. 
Herald. 
The London Morning Post (which has the credit 
of being the organ of Lord Palmerston) has a con-
spicuous editorial upon the policy of England and 
France in the Italian question. It says :—" We 
announced at the beginning of the year that a vir-
tual alliance had been effected between England and 
France for the settlement of Italian affairs. We ex-
pressly stated that the two governments bound them-
selves by no treaty, but that their agreement was 
the result of the force of circumstances and the dic-
tation of public opinion. This alliance—every day 
drawn closer—already begins to produce evident and 
tangible consequences. It is now formally deter-
mined that no intervention shall take place in Italy, 
and that the people shall be left to their own devic- 
A serious feud among the Mormons is in prospect. 
A delegation from the disaffected Mormons in Utah 
has just visited Joseph Smith, Jr., son of the origi-
nal prophet, who resides at Nauvoo, Ill., urging him 
to go to Salt Lake and take the office of head of the 
church and set Brigham Young adrift. Young Jo 
is said to inherit his father's prophetic gifts, and if 
he shall proclaim himself the regular successor to the 
apostolic office will stand a fair chance to draw a 
large number of the saints to his standard. He has 
not yet declared his determination. 
The Emperor of Austria has, according to the 
weekly Register, sent to the Pope a gift in money 
equivalent to $30,000. Queen Christiana has also 
been liberal with her purse, and the King of Bavaria 
promisee several thousand volunteers ready armed 
and equipped. A Mr. Whelpy, of the county Cork, 
Ireland, proposed to subscribe $500 towards a fund 
for helping the poor Pope over his' difficulties." 
Mr. Nathaniel Shaw of South Weymouth, a gen-
tleman for many years extensively engaged in the 
manufacture of boots and shoes, died suddenly at 
his residence Wednesday. He was seized with pain 
about the throat and upper part of the chest, but 
could get no relief,. He was attending to his busi-
ness only an hour before his decease, apparently as 
well as usual. Mr. Shaw was 56 years of age, and 
leaves a wife and three children. A large circle of 
relatives and friends will mourn his death. 
We arc informed, says the Topeka Tribune, that 
several hogs, which were bitten by dogs and had run 
mad from the effects, were picked up and eaten by 
the Kaw Indians, and that the effect on them has in 
many instances been, first a swelling of the body 
and head, then raving and madness, followed by 
death. During the earlier stages of the disease, the 
impression was that it was small pox. 
Cincinnati, March 1. This morning, while work-
men were tearing down the walls of the St. Xavier 
Catholic Church, they fell, burying twenty men be-
neath the ruins. Ten bodies have already been tak-
en out.

linois river, sunk yesterday near St. Louis. The 
cargo was saved. The boat was a total loss. Insured

CORRESPONDENCE. 
THE ADVEN T HERALD. 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of the Advent, froin friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to be considered as editorially. 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as eisentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
Daniel 7—Modern. 
Charlemagne, like a lion, the king of beasts, was 
undisputed sovereign of all continental Europe.—
Even Hungary " and every nation in Germany," 
which even Alexander and Cesar had failed to sub-
jugate, were conquered by him. The emperor of 
the East acknowledged his superiority, and the fa-
mous Asiatic, Haroun al Raschid, sent him presents 
and ceded to him the sovereignty of Jerusalem. 
He had really no permanent residence, but pur-
sued his victorious course from one point to another 
in his vast dominions, with the boldness and speed 
of a winged lion ; and true to'his ferocious symbol, 
he slaughtered at one time 5000 Saxons in the name 
of Christ. But at length his " wings were pluck-
ed " and " a man's heart given him," Broken-
hearted at the loss of his children, he associated the 
only surviving one with him in the empire, " and. 
spent the last year of his life in the study of the 
Scriptures. in prayer and acts of charity." Taylor's 
France. Thus, too—as more strikingly in Charles,V. 
and Napoleon I., who spent their last years crown-
, less,—" his dominion was taken away, but his life 
-was prolonged for a season," v. 12. 
Napoleon I. was never at rest, but like a leop-
ard with wings, he flew o'er Alps and Pyrennees, 
and plains and streams, with speed unparalleled, 
and conquered with a fierce dispatch that was truly 
appalling.. 
Napoleon III.'s greatest deeds are yet unac-
complished : arms shall yet stand on his part — 10 
kings give him their kingdom. Dan. 7 and 11:31 :1 
Rev. 17. Yet even before the Austrian war it was 
declared of him : '' His career possesses an import-
ance and splendor inferior only to the great head of I 
the family himself." One belligerent sentence from 
his lips convulses all Europe, and affects the world 
—wingless, but terrible. 
4. The last but one of these characters was over-
thrown by military violence, as the same in order in 
-"the eleventh chapter " stumbled and fell," 19. So, 
:too, in that chapter as in this, the first, third and 
fourth came up in one locality, but the second in 
,Serder, Charles,V., " raised up himself on one side" 
of them as emperor of Germany. 
It is claimed that this passage, and the three 
ribs in his mouth, were fulfilled. by the conquests of 
Medo-Persia being all towards the west, and by 
their subjugation of " three" kingdoms, (which 
would be "three beasts in the mouth of it.") But 
if ten nations had been required, they would have 
been as readily produced. Instead of that kingdom's 
conquests being all in one direction, it is represent-
ed by inspiration as " pushing westward and north-
ward and southward," until, not merely three na-
tions are vanquished, but till " no beast was able to 
stand before him," 8:4. If Medo-Persia was loca-
ted in the east, Rome was in the west, why was the 
former and not the latter represented as " raising 
itself up on one side ?" 
Charles V. held captive three of the royal family' 
of a rival beast, the king of France and his two I 
sons. 
It does not appear that Medo-Persia was more de- I 
structive than Babylon, or Macedonia ; but the bear 
was pre-eminently the devourer of, " much flesh." 
Charles V., during all his long reign, slaughtered 
by the thousand, French and English and Romans 
and Italians and Africans and Turks and Poles and 
Hungarians, and even his own especial suhjects,both 
for religious asd political considerations. Except-
ing France, which scarcely escaped, he became mas-
ter of all Europe. 
His immense influence; both upon the past and 
present, will be seen by the following extract, from 
Robertson, v. 2, p. 489.. " During his administra-
tion, all the considerable states of Europe suffered a 
remarkable change . . . . and felt the influence of 
events, which have not hitherto-spent their force.. . 
In consequence of the perpetual efforts to which his 
enterprise and ambition roused him, the different 
kingdoms of Europe acquired internal vigor, and 
discovered the resources of which they were pos-
sessed, and came both to feel their own strength and 
to know how to use it. Kingdoms which till then 
seemed to act as if they had been single and dis-
jointed, became so thoroughly acquainted, and so 
intimately connected, as to form one great political 
system, in which each took a station, wherein it has 
remained since that time, with less variation than 
could have been expected after the events of two 
[now three] active centuries." 
This further suggests the propriety of that 
wonderful symbol (Rev. 13) which so inseparably 
links and blends all modern European history, from 
Charlemagne the lion, to Napoleon III. the nonde-
script, in one great political system. 
This connection is further apparent in the fact 
that Charles V. with Charlemagne and the two Na-
poleons, have contributed more to the present Euro-
pean political system than all other agencies togeth 
er. �
Besides, the three last are intimately connected 
with Charlemagne politically, through their relation 
to the French and German monarchies, both of 
which owe their origin to his. 
Again, these three great families, by having in a 
great measure supplied monarchs for Europe for a 
thousand years, have, through its sovereigns, con-
nected it all in one vast family web. 
Now to extend that symbol, as is generally 
done, beyond the invasion of the northern barbar-
ians A. D. 300-600; is to do great violence to its 
most palpable import. 
Thus the symbol of Rev. 13 (as intimately con-
nected in all its parts as are the several members of 
the animal system), and even the fourth beast itself 
of Daniel 7th, is ruthlessly severed in two, by three 
centuries of the most absolute political " obscurity 
of chaos and general wreck of nations," (Robert-
son) the world ever experienced, and indeed the only 
one. " New nations seemed to arise and rush from 
unknown regions. They ravaged and destroyed all 
around them. What escaped the fury of the first 
inundation, perished in those that followed. In less 
than a century almost all the effects of the know-
ledge and civility which the Romans had spread 
through Europe disappeared." Ib. 
To obviate this difficulty, a bran new beast has 
been manufactured. I have a chart with five great 
beasts on it. 
But these thoughts again suggest, that the 
transfer of power from the beast, or from his head, 
to the horns, is all a mere invention. The fourth 
beast continues contemporaneously with his horns, 
with no hint of decadence, to the judgment, when 
his body is given to the burning flames. Instead of 
a transfer of his power to them, the horns give their 
kingdom to the beast, who leads them against the 
Lamb, at his advent from heaven, with the celestial 
cavalry. Rev. 17 and 19. �
a 
Besides, a theory which splits a beast from tip to 
tip into ten horns, and compels them to act thus in-
dependently, is guilty of an unpardonable zoological 
outrage. 
As to the transfer of power from heads to horns, 
it is precisely the last head which is most powerful. 
Rev. 17:8-11. 
But to return ; it is represented, Dan. 7:12, 
that the fourth beast should be at once, and appar-
ently at the zenith of its power, suddenly and com-
pletely destroyed ; but that the other three should 
continue for a time after their dominion was taken 
away. It was exactly the reverse, with the four 
great empires of antiquity. The first three were 
comparatively suddenly demolished, while Rome 
lingered on for ages after its dominion was gone. 
In conclusion ; all these beasts were to arise out 
of a turbulent, disorganized " sea." Dan. 7:2 —
The two Napoleons arose to power by fearful politi-
cal storms, which had totally disorganized the na-
tion. Charles V. arose upon the element of a gen-
eral feudal strife ; and all these empires, and espe-
cially that of Charlemagne, from the unparalleled 
upheavings, which followed the inundations of the 
northern tribes. M. Anquitel (Universal History) 
compares them to " a river rolling its majestic wa-
ters onward, now separated into different streams, 
and now united in one tremendous volume, which 
at last is lost in one vast ocean. . ,Awakened by the 
sound of the trumpet their ravages are resumed,un-
til mingling in the ocean of nations, they are con-
founded together." 
As the winds of heaven strove upon this great 
sea, four powerful agencies arose which lifted the 
troubled waters up in four successive mountain bil-
lows, to the third of which four others were attach-
ed, and on every summit a crested head appeared. 
The Apocalyptic seer blended all in one, and saw it 
smitten, and then the woman take her seat upon 
those mountain peaks and reign,* until the smitten 
* The woman, her sitting and the waters upon 
which she sita—the nominative, the verb and the ob-
ject—are all symbolic. Then this same symbolic 
woman does not literally sit on literal mountains —
one of which, too, was wounded to death and heal-
ed. The mountains then are symbolic, or kingdoms, 
" where the woman sitteth." There are also seven 
kings, which with these their kingdoms (and synec-
dochically either seven without the other) constitute 
the seven heads. �

head and mountain surge emerged from the abyss in 
a succeeding billow, and overwhelmed her in utter 
ruin. Thus Britain smote Napoleon and reigned ; 
but Napoleon, the last great head, now ascends 
slowly but surely from the abyss. 
Leon Faucher, Home Secretary, said of the revolu-
tion from which Napoleon III. first arose to power, 
" You cannot have forgotten, gentlemen, from what 
a height France fell into the abyss of February."

vicinity. In this time I published the Christian 
Lyre, a book containing about three hundred choice 
tunes and between five and six hundred hymns.—
This work has been prepared with great labor and 
care, by a number of brethren, and is designed to 
meet the wants of all classes of Adventists, as also 
of Christians of all denominations who may choose 
to adopt it, in their meetings of public and social 
worship. This selection will no doubt serve us 
while we have occasion to sing with mortal tongues; 
for the time hastens, when we shall sing the " new

help. It has been my intention—provided the agen-

redeem the office entirely from debt. If the Herald 
is sustained in its present life-giving power, there 
will be no lack of interest in its support; and should 
we come to a crisis, the friends of the cause will not 
fail to come to our aid." 
When the time came for the call to be made, as 
has been seen, our brethren were true and faithful, 
and all I had thus predicted of them was literally 
and substantially fulfilled. I knew them : I have 
been with them in their homes—in sunshine and in 
storm—in the great conflict. We have suffered to-
gether, and are cemented in the most blessed union. 
May it never be severed ! 
When I found that, on account of feeble health, 
and other causes I need not name, I should be una-
ble to prosecute the agency, I at once made provis-
ion for the Note I had endorsed, that' would come 
work in BcAton, to resuscitate the neglected and

Since closing my labors with the Richmond church 
last year in April, I have travelled, mostly as an 
evangelist, to labor where the people most needed 
help, but partly on business, to earn money where-
with to sustain my family. By invitation I preach-
ed in the free meeting house, Richmond Corner, 
once a month for three months, without seeing any 
result excepting a good attendance and attention of 
the people. The house had been deserted for several 
years, no meetings of any sort in the place, and ap-
parently as little Christian influence as in any other 
part of the world. Since then a revival sprang up;

I saw in a recent no. of the Herald, a communica- 
tion from a sister, who stated that she highly valued 
the Herald, but was unable longer to pay for it ; 
and having a dollar by me, which I could spare from 
Present necessities, which I had intended to send to 
the " A.M.A." I thought I would have it applied 
to the Herald, and thus gladden the heart of that 
sister, who is a lone widow like myself ; who also 
like myself, has not much of the unrighteous mam-
mon,-and so afford her the perusal of that valued 
paper a little longer. Thus, while she is being bene-
fited, the Association will sustain no great loss. 
I highly appreciate the Herald, and would gladly 
do more to sustain it, had I the means. 
Should you think the following lines worthy of a 
place in the Herald, please insert them. 
I love to hear the Herald speak, 
It speaks with voice so kind ; 
It does not seem its own to seek, 
Is not puffed up, but mild and meek, 
It comes to cheer us every week, 
And feeds the hungry mind. 
I love its correspondents too, 
Whose pens are dipped in love ; 
Who write, and read and live for God, 
Who tread the path which Jesus trod, 
Who do not shun the narrow road, 
But in it onward move. 
I love to hear the voice of peace, 
And feel its spirit too ; 
I love all those whom Jesus loves, 
All those whose spirit he approves, 
And on whose heart his spirit moves : 
With such 1 fain would go. 
I do not love the voice of strife, 
But, from it, e'er would flee : 
Its work is baneful, brings no good, 
Its accents hateful, bold and rude, 
It dwells in dark and angry mood ; 
From sin 'tis never free. 
May those who write, or read or hear, 
Be governed by that love 
Which works no ill to friend or foe, 
Which leads where purest waters flow, 
Which soothes our care, and softens woe, 
And lifts our hearts above. 
So may. the Herald onward move, 
Its steady march pursue, 
'Till all its foes are won by love, 
And all its friends their friendship prove, 
By aiding in its work of love, 
Their friendship to be true. �M.

Dear Bro. Bliss :-We prize the Herald very much 
and would not know how to do without it. May

work. I have thought some weeks of sending in my 
mite towards the payment of the last Note, but have

in way of remembrance ; so I send you $5, hoping 
you may succeed in paying the note.

nications of my brethren of like precious faith. 
It is now about three months since I left my breth-
ren in Sugar Hill, N. H., (under the pastoral care

vent ministers, who may have occasion to pass this 
way, call and break to us the bread of life. You

lage of Manchester, Delaware Co., Iowa. 
I would say in this connexion, that if any of our 
advent brethren contemplate coming West to live, I 
would invite them to call and examine here, as there 
are many advantages that I think can now be bought 
at a cheap rate. Any brother wishing for further 
information on this subject, can address me at Man-
chester, Iowa ; and any facts in my possession, I 
will cheerfully give.

ADVERTISEMENTS. 
AYER'S 
CATHARTIC 
PILLS. 
Are you sick, feeble, and com- 
plaining ? Are you out of order, 
with your system deraned, and 
your feelings uncomfortable? 
These symptoms are often the 
prelude to serious illness. Some 
fit of sickness is creeping upon 
you, and should be averted by a 
timely use of the right remedy. 
Take Ayer's Pills, and cleanse 
out the disordered humors - pu-
rify the blood, and let the fluids 
move on unobstructed in health 
again. They stimulate the func-
tions of the body into vigorous 
activity, purify the system from 
the obstructions which make 
disease. A cold settles some-
where in the body, and obstructs 
its natural .ftmetions. These, if not relieved, react upon 
themselves and the surrounding organs, producing gen-
eral aggravation, suffering', usaf disease. While in this 
condition, oppressed by the derangements, take Ayers 
Pills, and see how directly they restore the natural ac-
tion of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of 
health again. What is true and so apparent in this trivial 
and common complaint, is also true in many of the deep-
seated and dangerous distempers. The same purgative 
effect expels them. Caused by similar obstructions and 
derantrenfents of the natural functions of the body, they 
are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured by the same 
means. None who know the virtues of these Pills, will 
neglect to employ them when suffering from the disor-
ders they cure. 
Statements from leading physicians in some of the 
principal cities, and from other well known public p 
sons, 
From a Forwarding Merchant of St. Louis, Feb. 4, 1856. 
DR. AYER : Your Pills are the paragon of all that is 
great in medicine. They have cured my little daughter 
of ulcerous sores upon her hands and feet that had proved 
incurable for years. Her mother has been long .griev-
ously afflicted with blotches and pimples on her skin and 
in her hair. After our child was cured, she also tried 
your Pills, and they have cured her. 
ASA MORGRIDGE. 
As a Family Physic. 
From Dr. E. W. Cartwright, New Orleans. 
Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excellent 
qualities surpass any cathartic we possess. They are 
mild, but veryy certain and effectual in their action on the 
bowels, which makes them invaluable to us in the daily 
treatment of disease. 
Headache, Sick Headache, Foul Stomach. 
From Dr. Edward Boyd, Baltimore. 
DEAR BRO. AYER: I cannot answer you what com-
plaints I have cured with your Pills better than to say 
all that we ever treat with a purgative medicine. I place 
great dependence on an effectual cathartic in my daily 
contest with disease, and believing as I do that your Pills 
afford us the best we have, I of course value them highly. 
PITTSBURG, Pa., May 1, 1855. 
DR. J. C. AYER. Sir : I have been repeatedly cured of 
the worst headache any body can have, by a dose or two 
of your Pills. It seems to arise from a foul stomach, 
which they cleanse at once. 
Yours with great respect, ED. W. PREBLE, 
Clerk of Steamer Clarion. 
Bilious Disorders -Liver Complaints. 
From Dr. Theodore Bell, of New York City. 
Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their pur-
pose as au aperient, but I find their beneficial effects upon 
the Liver very marked indeed. They have in my prac-
tice proved more effectual for the cure of bilious com-
plaints than any one remedy I can mention. I sincerely 
rejoice that we have at length a purgative which is wor-
thy the confidence of the profession and the people. 
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, 
Washington, D. C., 7th Feb., 1856. 
SIR : I have used your Pills in my general and hospital 
practice ever since you made them, and do not hesitate to 
say they are the best cathartic we employ. Their regu-
lating action on the liver is quick and decided, conse-
quently they are an admirable remedy for derangements 
of that organ. Indeed, I have seldom found a case of 
bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily yield to 
them. Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, M. D., 
Physician of the Marine Hospital. 
Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Relax, Worms. 
From Dr. .I. G. Green, of Chicago. 
Your Pills have had a long trial in my practice, and I 
hold them in esteem as one of the best aperients I have 
ever found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes 
them an excellent remedy, when given iu small doses for 
bilious dysentery and diarrhoea. Their sugar-coating 
makes them very acceptable and convenient for the use 
of women and children. 
Dyspepsia, Impurity of the Blood. 
From Rev. J. V. Dimes, Pastor of Advent Church, Boston. 
DR. AYER: I have used your Pills with extraordinary 
success in my family and among those I am called to visit 
in distress. To regulate the organs of digestion and 
purify the blood, they are the very best remedy I have 
ever known, and I can confidently recommend them to 
my friends. 
J. V. HIVES. 
WARSAW, WyomingCo., N. Y., Oct. 24, 1855. 
DEAR SIR : I am using your Cathartic Pills in my prac-
tice, and find them an excellent purgative to cleanse the 
system and purify the.fountains of the blood. 
JOHN G. 111EACHAM, M. D. 
Constipation, Costiveness, Suppression, 
Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Dropsy, 
Paralysis, Fits, etc. 
From Dr. J. I'. Vaughn, Montreal, Canada. 
Too much cannot be said of your Pills for the cure of 
costiveness. If others of our fraternity have found them. 
as efficacious as I have, they should join me in proclaim-
ing it for the benefit of the multitudes who suffer from 
that complaint, which, although bad enough in itself, is 
the progenitor of others that are worse. I believe cos-
tiveness to originate in the liver, but your Pills affect that 
organ and cure the disease. 
Front Mrs. E. Stuart, Physician and Midwife, Boston. 
I find one or two large doses of your Pills, taken at the

HONORED SIR: I should be ungrateful for the relief 
your skill has brought me if I did not report my case 
to you. A cold settled in my limbs and brought on ex-
cruciating neuralgic pains, which ended in chronic rheu-
matism. -Notwithstanding I had the best of physicians, 
the disease grew worse and worse, until by the advice of 
your excellent agent in Baltimore, Dr. Mackenzie, I tried 
your Pills. Their effects were slow, but sure. By per-
severing in the use of nein, 1 and now entirely well.

DR. AYER : I have been entirely cured, by your Pills, 
of Rheumatic Gout- a painful disease that had afflicted 
me for years. �

Most of the Pills in market contain Mercury, 
which, although a valuable remedy in skilful hands, is 
dangerous in a public pill, from the dreadful consequences 
that frequently follow its incautious use. These contain 
no mercury or mineral substance whatever.

WHITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way of 
T progress in the healing art. It is adapted to all the 
purposes of a family Salve. It effectually cures piles, 
wounds, bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains, corns, burns, 
fever-sores, scrofulous humors, erysipelas, salt-rheum, 
king's evil, rheumatism, spinal difficulties, chafings in 
warm weather, &c. &o., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best. combination of 
medicinal ingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of the best phy- 
not like to miss its visits ; but that you may take 
pleasure in directing my paper, I herewith send you 
one dollar for the present half year. The Herald is 
an old friend in the family. Yours in the bonds of 
the gospel. 
Nazareth, Northampton Co., Pa. Feb. 2, 1860. 
From Bro. Ira Curtis. 
Bro. Bliss :-The weekly visits of the Herald are 
a source of comfort to me. I hope the Lord may 
prosper all of its arrangements for his own glory, 
and the best good of his church. I have enjoyed 
the Herald from the first, when it was a little sheet 
called the Signs of the Times. Its labors and trials 
have had a place next to my own soul's wants. I 
hope its future career may be more useful, and with 
less trial. 
Des Moines City, Iowa. 
From sister T'V. Chandler. 
Bro. Bliss :-I have taken the Herald so long, it 
has been such a comfort to me, and my spiritual na-
ture needs it so much, that I would sooner let some 
of my temporal wants remain unsupplied, than to 
be without it. If we only could realize the true 
state of our wants, we would let the body suffer a little 
more, and feed the soul. Here on the verge of civ-
ilization, without a church or minister, or any breth-
ren of our belief, the Herald comes from a distant 
land, a welcome messenger, bringing good tidings 
from the hearts of many brethren, with whom we 
feel united in spirit. May our common Lord bless 
the Herald and those connected with it, and 
cause it to bring rejoicing to many more hearts, as 
it has to mine. 
Monticello, Wright Co., Minn. Feb. 10, 1860. 
From Bro. N. W. Spencer. 
Dear Bro. Bliss �
prize the Herald above every 
other religious paper published, and intend to have 
its perusal so long as I can send the means to pay 
for it. I rejoice greatly to read the cheering epistles 
from brothers and sisters throughout the country, 
and to see their offerings flowing into the treasury. 
This shows that the cause lies near their hearts. I 
would gladly help in this good cause, but I cannot 
raise the means. It is very, very hard times in the 
West. 
We very much need faithful men to proclaim 
" This gospel of the kingdom" in the West, men that 
will not turn aside to other things, but faithfully 
give the note of warning to this doomed world ! 
But we cannot promise a support, and therefore can 
not say to the Heralds of the coming kingdom, come 
to us. Therefore the cause greatly languishes here. 
Dearly beloved brethren, the day of the Lord 
basteth greatly ; let us strive to be found in the 
path of duty waiting for " His Son from heaven." 
Let us heed the admonition of the Saviour and be 
found watching when he comes. Now is emphati-
cally the time when we should watch, " lest he com-
ing suddenly find us sleeping." Come Lord Jesus, 
is the prayer of your unworthy brother. 
Shabbona Grove De Kalb Co., Ill. 
Card from Bro. Chapman. 
Bro. Bliss :-Having occasion at this time to fa-
vor you with the name of another paying subscriber 
for the Herald, I take the liberty to add a word for 
its columns. By the last weeks No. I learn that our 
good brother Benjamin Dudley, of Oxford, Chenan-
go, N. Y., has forwarded to the office $25, to consti-
tute me a Life Member of the A. M. Association. I 
thank Bro. Dudley most kindly, for this token of 
love and honor, bestowed on his Bro. Chapman-
especially at this time,-as it will contribute so far 
toward paying the last one of those $400 notes. 
God bless, and reward Bro. Dudley, is my sincere 
prayer. �
SAMUEL CHAPMAN. 
Springwater, N. Y., Feb. 29th, 1860. 
From Bro. R. Pike. 
May the Great Teacher give grace and wisdom to 
the conductors of the Advent Herald that it may con-
tinue to feed the flock of God and that it may be a 
means of gathering out a people from among the na-
tions to serve him, and to wait for His Son from 
heaven. 
Pomfret, Conn. 
The wisdom to know, and the grace to do, are the 
two greatest gifts God can confer in this fallen state. 
May God give such gifts to each reader of the Her- 
ald, as well as to all its correspondents. �
En. 
From Bro. P. Ross. 
Bro. Bliss :-Feeling that to enjoy peace of mind 
I must proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and 
the day of vengeance of our God, I have for the last 
year and a half endeavored thus to do. I shall take 
your paper whilst I feel able to pay for it, and it 
continues to bring the valuable or useful information 
it has thus far. I have taken this paper ever since 
it was first published.

MELODEONS. Music ! Music ! Who does not love 
good house music ? Even redeemed ones sing and have 
harps of gold. I pronounce Sommer it Colburn's splendid 
melodeons to be unsurpassed in this country, and for 
smoothness of tone, euphony and roundness of sound, 
quickness of action when touched, with finish of style, 
they are without a rival. Those who, to cultivate taste 
and add to the charm of the home-circle, want to buy a 
very superior instrument, would do well to send to the 
Agent, Bro. D. B. Pierson, 16 Village street, Hartford,

BUSINESS NOTES. 
T. Smith. You did not give the name of the lady in 
Maine, and so we have cr. the 50 eta. as you will see. 
Geo. Hepinstall. Wrote you on the 29th ult. and en-
closed receipts for Herald and balance of motley. 
J. M. Orrock. Ree'd $4.28 to bal. account and $2.25 
from W. W. A. The lettering ma that volume can be al-
tered without much trouble, if wished by Bro. A. Have 
ordered another made for you. Have never had our phot-
ograph taken. Have changed the credit of Mrs. L. L. to 
donation-it was an oversight-leaving her Herald still 
paid to 1052. 
Wm. Dyche. The $2 rec'd in November was cr. on Her-
ald to No. 1032; and so the $1 now received is put to do-
nation account. 
H. Rupp. You did not say in the letter whether the 
money sent was to be cr. on the Her. or go to pay that 
note ; and so we took the safe course-paying your and 
Bro. G.'s Heralds to March, 1862, and Bro. F.'s to March, 
1861. 
J. T. Dixon. Eld. H. has paid us $1 for you, which 
you will see under head of receipts. 
S. Nevers, 25 cts. to No. 986. That subject has been so 
fully discussed in the Herald in days past, that no new 
light would be now thrown upon it if resumed, unless it 
was done by some very able pen. Those on your side 
would hardly be satisfied with the manner in which you 
would discuss it, and would blame us if we inserted it.

the Lost Child. 
Do not the very words, " a lost child," 
make you think of dark forests, or deep 
glens, or lonely mountains, where you 
yourself may some day wander and miss 
the way ? Ah ! but the place where this 
poor little one strayed was darker than the 
darkest forest of earth, deeper than its 
deepest glen, lonelier than its loneliest 
mountain ; for little Willie was lost in a 
coal-pit ! 
Willie was a Welsh boy, and lived in a 
colliery-village not far from the mouth of 
a pit that had been worked in for many 
and many a year. His father, being a mi-
ner
' 
 did not think it wrong to make his 
little boy lead the same dark life as him-
self ; so when Willie was about ten years 
old, he had to spend ten henrs, and some-
times even twelve hours, a day, in the pit. 
A very dark life indeed it was, as those 
who have seen even the mouth of a coal-
pit will believe. He was soon made one 
of the trappers of the pit. In every mine 
there are several doors made, to prevent 
too much or wrong currents of air getting 
in the long under-ground passages. Little 
boys are placed behind the " ventilating 
doors," as they are called; and the busi-
ness of the boys is to pull them open by 
means of ropes, when they hear any wag-
ors coining along. .These boys are called 
the trappers of the mine. Poor little fel-
lows, they sit in darkness all day long; for 
they only get two short candles in their 
lamps, one of which lasts until they reach 
their seats behind the doors, and the other 
lights them on their way back again at 
night : so they have indeed a dreary, sad 
time in the pit. 
One Friday morning some years ago, 
Willie went as usual along with his father; 
but on reaching the mouth of the pit, he 
found that he had forgotten his lamp; and, 
while he ran home for it, his father and 
the other colliers went down to their work. 
Thus when Willie returned and descend-
ed, he found himself quite alone : so he 
hastened as fast as he could to reach his 
own part of the mine ; but, somehow or 
other, he never knew how, his little lamp 
went out, and left him in total darkness. 
At first he did not feel very much afraid, 
but groped along, expecting every moment 
to see a light, or hear voices and footsteps; 
but, strange to say, the silence seemed to 
grow deeper and deeper ; and at last he 
knew that he must have turned aside into 
one of the old works of the mine. The 
thought was far from beinacheering,,though 
he still hoped every turn he made would 
bring him to the right road again. On and 
on he wandered, sometimes trying one pas-
sage, and sometimes another; but none 
brought him any nearer his companions. 
At one place, it is true, he knew that they 
could not be far off; for he heard the noise 
of their hammers, and even fancied he 
could distinguish his father's voice ; but a 
sicians of the various schools use it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, chafings, de., and also for sore teats on 
ays. It cures felons. It cures warts. 
Mrs. Glover, East Merrimack street, Lowell, was cured 
of a bad case of piles by the use of one box of the Salve. 
Mr. Farrington, a wealthy merchant and manufacturer 
of Lowell, was relieved ,of piles which had afflicted him 
for many years, and remarked to a friend that it was worth 
a hundred dollars a box for piles. 
Miss Harriet Morrill: 
 of East Kingston, N. II., says: "I 
have been Witted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though 
1 never expect to be well, yeteeo be relieved as 1 am from 
day to day by the use of your Golden Salve, tinselly heart 
with gratitude." 
From Mr. J. 0. Merriam, Tewksbury, Mass. : "I have 
a large milk farm. I have used a great deal of your Gol-
den Salve for sore teats on my cows. I have used many 
other kinds of salve. Yours is the best I ever saw. I 
have also used it for sprains and scratches on my horses. 
It cures them in a short time. I recommend it to all who 
keep cows or horses." 
From Dr. Geo. Pierce, Lowell : " Your Golden Salve is 
good. It will have a great sale." 
From Dr. W. S. Campbell, New Britain, Conn. : " Your 
Golden Salve is a great thing for chilblains. I have also 
used it in afflicting cases of salt rheum, erysipelas, and 
sore nipples. Its effect was, a speedy and permanent cure." 
Dr. Bliss, of Brunswick, Me., says : " I have severa 
friends who have been cured of scrofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may recommend it from me as a val-
uable Salvo." 
From Mr. Morris Fuller, of North Creek, N. Y. : "We 
find your Golden Salve to be good for everything that we 
have tried it for. Among other things for which we have 
used it, is a bad case of scald head' of our little girl. 
Its effect in this case was also favorable." 
"We like your Golden Salve very much in this place. 
Among other things I knew a lady who was cured of a 
�
very bad case of sore eyes."-Walter S. Plummer, Lake �
�
 
Village, N. H. 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-
den Salve was applied, it relieved the pain in a short time, 
and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."-
Mrs. Lucinda A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. H. 
Mr. H. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer, 
Marion, Ill., says, " Every person that uses the Golden 
Salve testifies favorably." He has also published a list of 
names in his paper, of persons cured of wounds, sores, hu-
mors, rheumatism, &Q., and gives the public reference to 
them ; who, he says, are among the first citizens of the 
place. 
THE GOLDEN SALVE-A GREAT HEALING REMEDY.-It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved-a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved-
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; also another of an old man, 
who bad a sore on his foot for twenty years-cured in a 
few weeks. Our citizens will not be slow in getting at its 
merits, and will herald it over the land.-Boston Herald. 
Boston, July 12, 1859. Bro. Whitten : I have used your 
Golden Salve in my family, and I am acquainted with a 
large number of families also who have used it ; and I 
have reason to believe that it is really what you recom- 
mend it to be. �

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

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

SOMETHING NEW AND VERY DESIRABLE !-
PEARSON'S PATENT-RESPIRATORY COOKING-STOVE.-The 
superiority of this over every other Cooking Stove consists 
in the means by which we accomplish that most desirable 
end in Stove Cooking, viz. : A combination of 
1st, Roasting meats in currents of heated fresh air, pro 
thick impenetrable wall of coal remained 
between them ; and, though he shouted 
loud and long, he knew they could not 
hear his cries. Night came on at last, and 
the dull sound of the hammers ceased : so 
he knew the work was over for that day, 
and that now, indeed, there was no chance 
of being found. He was very hungry, 
too, and many a child would have eaten 
the dinner which he had brought with 
him ; but Willie knew that though he was 
hungry then, he would be hungrier still in 
a while : so he only took a small part of 
his bread, and kept the rest very carefully. 
This was on Friday night ; and, as the pit 
was always closed both on Saturday and 
Sunday, Willie thought with terror of the 
two days of darkness, solitude and starva-
tion, that were before him. At first he 
hoped that he might be missed and sought 
for; but no one ever came to seek him.-
This seems so strange, that I fear poor 
Willie must have been in the habit of play-
ing truant, and that his father must have 
supposed he had gone forth on some pleas-
ant ramble among the hills ; but whether 
it was so or not, no one thought of looking 
for him in the pit. All these two days he 
wandered rip and down, uttering bitter 
cries that none could hear. But his wan-
dering had at last brought him upon the 
right path ; so that on Monday morning, 
when the men began to descend, he heard 
their voices, and saw their lights, and 
knew that help had come at last. Poor 
child ! he was taken up in a truly lament-
able plight; nearly dead with cold, fa-
tigue, and hunger, and had so lost count of 
time, that he imagined that he had been 
shut up for eight days instead of three in 
his gloomy prison. I wish I could tell you 
that after this he did not need to go clown 
into the terrible pit again, and got some 
more child-like work to do ; but I never 
heard what became of poor Willie after-
wards, and am afraid this was not very 
likely. 
And now, my dear child, why have I 
told you this story ? My reasons are three: 
first, because it is true; second, because it 
should make you thankful for your bright- 
er lot ; and, third, because I wish you to 
pause and think of these two little words, 
the " lost" and " found," and to ask your- 
self what meaning can they have to you. 
In these days �
Bible-knowledge, there 
are few, even of little children, who 'have 
not been taught their lost and ruined state 
by nature. But, alas ! there are many 
who learn such words as these, " All we 
like sheep have gone astray," and never 
think of them as really describing them-
selves. These are children far away from 
home, although they know it not. 
You would think it dreadful to be lost, 
like poor Willie, for three days in a dark 
and dreary pit; but think how dreadful to 
have spent a life-time wandering about 
among what seemed the pleasant, sunny 
mountains of vanity, and at its close to 
find that they have led you far away from 
he-yen, and brought you to the blackness 
of darkness for ever ! Oh, be Wise in time, 
and remember that you yourself need to 
be saved! Take David's prayer and make 
it your own-" I have gone astray like a 
lost sheep ; seek thy set vant"-and you 
will not cry in vain ; for you will find that 
the Good Shepherd was seeking you long 
before, and is ready to lay you on His 
shoulders, and to bear you home rejoicing.

B. S. REYNOLDS. 
The next session of the Western Central Quarterly Con-
ference will be in Augusta at the brick school house on 
sand hill, commencing Thursday, 2 o'clock P. M., Mar 29, 
and continue over the Sabbath. We shall expect all our 
ministers there, ready to preach the word, to counsel and 
labor for the uniting and upbuilding of the cause of Christ. 
Also brn. and sisters who can consistently attend to engage 
in the same work. Those who cannot come should pray to 
God to bless this effort to the salvation of lost sinners.-
We cordially invite ministers and others from everywhere 
to attend with us to work as above stated. Strangers 
coming to this meeting should call on Brn. Wm. A. Love- 
joy and David Moshier. �

Richmond, Me., Feb. 29, 1860. 
Eld. E. Burnham preached for us last Sabbath, accord-
ing to appointment. God's presence was manifestly with 
The " American Millennial Association," located in Bos-
ton, Mass., was legally organized Nov. 12th, 1858, under 
the provisions of the 56th Chapter of the Acts of the Le-
gislature of Massachusetts of A. D. 1857, for charitable 
and religious purposes. The whole amount obtained by 
donations, subscriptions, or sales of publications, is to be 
expended in the publication of Periodicals, Books, and 
Tracts, and for the support of ministers of the Gospel. 
All contributions to our treasury, will be duly acknow-
ledged, and, at the end of the year, will be embodied in a 
report. When there is any omission of the proper credit, 
due notice should be at once given to 
SYLVESTER BLISS, Treasurer. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 971 was the closing 
number of 1859; No. 997 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1860; and No. 1023 is to the 
close of 1860. Notice of any failure to give due credit, 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the cause name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address - the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is directed. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to give 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town and office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may be others at ire same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper- goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the same family will write res-
pectiiag it, without stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forget even to sign 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent.
