THE HOME OF THE BLEST. 
We're going home, we've had visions bright 
Of that holy land, that world of light, 
Where the long, dark night of time is past, 
And the fliers of eternity's come at last ; 
Where the weary saint no more shall roam, 
But dwell in a sunny, peaceful home, 
Where the brow with celestial gems are crown'd, 
And waves of bliss are dashing around. 
0, that beautiful world, 0, that beautiful world. 
We're going home, we soon shall be 
Where the sky is clear, and the soil is free ; 
Where the victor's song floats o'er the plain, 
And the seraph's anthem blends with its strain ; 
Where the sun rolls down its brilliant flood, 
And beams on a world that's ((sir and good, 
And stars that dimned at nature's doom, 
Will sparkle and dance o'er the new earth's bloom. 
0, that beautiful home, &c. 
Where the tears and sighs which here were given, 
Are exchanged for the gladsome songs of heaven ; 
Where the beauteous forms which slag and shine, 
Are guarded well by a Hand divine ; 
Pure love's banner and friendship's wand 
Are waving above that princely band ; 
Anil the glory of God, like a molten sea, 
Will bathe the immortal company. 
0, that beautiful borne, &c. 
'Mid the ransom'd throng, 'mid the sea of bliss, 
'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness ; 
'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid angels' cheer, 
'Mid the flowers that never of winter wear,: 
Where the conqueror's song, as it sounds star, 
on.the ambrosial air 
.-- 
Tlfroitilt endless years we.slien shall prove 
The depths of a Saviour's matchless love.

BY J. P. WEETHEE. 
Before entering upon those series of events 
which span the future from A. D. 96, we shall 
introduce some facts relative to the first and 
second manifestations of the Messiah. This 
we do, that all may understand our position in 
regard to that advent which is named in the 
Apocalypse, and thereby learn that we consider 
that coming future and personal. 
This book (the Apocalypse) purports to be 
" the Revelation of Jesus, the Anointed." In the 
same chapter it is said, " Behold, he cometh with 
clouds." No one can suppose any other person 
here intended than the person who is called 
" Jesus, the Anointed." The book contains the 
return of that same Jesus. All regard that re-
turn as the second advent. Is that event in the 
past, or is it future ? The decision of this ques-
tion fixes the character of our exposition. If 
that second advent of the Author of the Apoca-
lypse be in the past., then these events here nar-
rated have long since transpired : if it is yet to 
come, our views are worthy of consideration. 
Let us now take up the question. 
Is the second advent of the aforesaid Jesus 
an event yet future ? If any person questions 
whether this same Jesus was to appear the sec-
mid time, let him read Acts 1:11 : " Ye men 
of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heav-
en ? THIS SAME JESUS, who is taken from you 
into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye 
have seen him go into heaven." Trace the 
term Jesus through the New Testament, and 
you will learn that there were to be two ad-
vents of a person by that name.. Each of these 
manifestations shall be considered, that they 
may be properly comprehended. 
First Advent. — It was predicted that Mary 
should bring forth a son, and that his name 
should be called Jesus. It is then stated that 
" Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea." He 
is here manifested in the flesh. He is after-
wards baptized of John in Jordan, led into the 
wilderness and tempted of Satan. He selects 
his disciples, and begins to proclaim the great 
doctrines of his mission. He suffers many 
hardships, is finally apprehended, condemned, 
nailed to the cross — dies — is laid in a tomb —
rises the third day — appears to his disciples 
many days. As Luke wrote the Acts of the 
Apostles, we shall follow his ideas from this 
point, as presented in the last chapter of his 
gospel, and the first chapter of the Acts. Je-
sus appears to two disciples going from Jerusa-
lem to Emmaus, and was made known to them. 
They returned to Jerusalem, and while con-
versing with his disciples about what they had 
seen and heard, " Jesus himself stood in the 
midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be to 
you. But they were terrified and affrighted, 
and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And 
he said unto them, Why are ye troubled ? and 
why do thoughts arise in your hearts ? Be-
hold my hands and my feet, that it is I my-
self : handle me, and see ; for a spirit hath 
not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And 
when he had thus spoken, he showed them his 
hands and his feet. And while they yet be-
lieved not for joy, and wondered, he said unto 
them, Have ve here any meat ? And they 
gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an 
honey-comb. And he took it, and did eat be-
fore them. And he said unto them, These are 
the words which I spake unto you, while I was 
yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled 
which were written in the law of Moses, and 
in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning 
me. Then opened he their understanding, 
that they might understand the scriptures, and 
said unto them, Thus it is wrrtten, and thus it 
behooved Chiist to suffer, and to rise front t 
dead the third day : and that repentance and 
remission of sins should be preached in his 
name among all nations, beginning at Jerusa-
lem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And 
behold, I send the promise of my Father upon 
you : but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem un-
til ye be endued with power from on high. —
And he led them out as far as to Bethany : 
and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, 
he was parted from them, and carried up into 
heaven. And they worshipped him, and re-
turned to Jerusalem with great joy : and were 
continually in the temple, praising and bless-
ing God." —Luke 24:36-53. It will here be 
seen that the historian has taken unusual pains 
in the terms which he uses to describe Jesus 
from his resurrection to his ascension; and 
promised return, that all might know that it 
was the same Jesus which was born of Mary, 
wrapping in swaddling clothes, and laid in a 
manger ; baptized of John, apprehended, con-
demned, nailed to the cross, expired, and was 
laid in the tomb ; that arose, and appeared to 
his disciples, and finally ascended. Some of 
those terms by which he desires to identify the 
resurrected with the crucified Jesus, are the 
following, viz. : " Jesus himself ;" " behold my 
hands and my feet, that it is I myself : handle 
me, and see ; for a spirit hath not flesh and 
bones, as ye see me have ;" " he showed them 
his hands and his feet ;" " he ate before them 
a piece of broiled fish, and a honey-comb." — 
" He led them out as far as Bethany, blessed 
them," and in that act was parted from them, 
and taken up into heaven. Here end the 
events of his first advent — his first manifesta-
tion in the flesh. All those terms which speak 
of his coming or going from place to place du-
ring that period, from his birth to'his ascension 
to heaven, are not so many advents, but move-
ments of the same person from place to place 
during one advent. Of this class we reckon 
Luke 9:1-10, Matt. 10:23, and Luke 10:1, 17 : 
" Then he called his twelve disciples together, 
and gave them power and authority over all 
devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them 
to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the 
sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing 
for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, nei-
ther bread, neither money ; neither have two 
coats a-piece. And whatsoever house ye enter 
into, there abide, and thence depart. And who-
soever will not receive you, when ye go out of 
that city, shake off the very dust from your 
feet for a testimony against them. And they 
departed, and went through the towns, preach-
ing the gospel, and healing everywhere. And 
the apostles, when they were returned, told 
him all that they had done. And he took 
them, and went aside privately into a desert 
place, belonging to the city called Bethsaida." 
" But when they persecute you in this city, 
flee ye into another : for verily I say unto you, 
Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel 
till the Son of man be come." " After these 
things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, 
and sent them two and two before his face into 
every city, and place, whither he himself would 
come. And the severity returned again with 
joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject 
unto us through thy name." The twelve were 
sent forth on a mission to the Jews, or to the 
cities of Israel. They were to visit the places 
as in a circuit. A place was appointed where 
it would end, and where Jesus would meet 
them. In the same manner he sent forth the 
seventy, whose mission was to be to those cities 
soon after to be visited by Jesus in person, 
" in every city, and place, whither he himself 
would come."—Luke 10:1. These persons did 
not complete their mission till Christ began to 
follow them. We shall stow examine what re-
lation the following passages have to the first 
advent : Matt. 16:27, 28, and 17:1, 2 ; Mark 
8:38, and 9:1-3 ; Luke 9:26-30. The three 
evangelists follow the same order of narration. 
Three events are presented, two predictions, 
and a description of a remarkable event. 
First Event.—The advent of the Son of man 
in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and 
his rewarding every man according to his works. 
— Matt. 16:27 ; Mark 8:38 ; Luke 9:26. 
Second Event. — His manifestation in his 
kingdom, and his declaration that there were 
some standing by who should see the event.—
Matt. 16:28 ; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27. 
Third Event.—The transfiguration of Jesus. 
—Matt. 17:1, 2 ; Mark 9:2, 3 ; Luke 9:28, 29 ; 
see 2 Pet. 1:16-18. The following is our un-
derstanding of these passages. Our Saviour 
predicts his coming in his own glory, and that 
of his Father and all the holy angels, to re-
ward every man according to his works. And 
that the church may in all ages have before 
them a visible manifestation of that coming 
and kingdom, I will present to some of you 
before your death a lively representation of 
that event. As a proof, Peter calls the trans-
figuration " the power and coming of our Lord 
Jesus Christ." We understand the expression 
" shall not taste of death " to be a strong af-
firmation of the certainty that he would give 
them such a manifestation. Is that expression 
thus used ? The terms " taste " and " to see " 
death mean the same. It was revealed to 
Simeon " that he should not see death be-
fore he had seen the Lord's Christ," (Luke 2: 
26,) which expression signifies that he should 
certainly see the Lord's Christ. There were 
three of the disciples, Peter, James, and John, 
who were with Christ on the holy mount. The 
declaration of Jesus concerning John has occa-
sioned much difficulty with expositors. The 
passage is the following : " Peter seeing him, 
saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man 
do ? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he 
tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? Follow 
thou me. Then went this saying abroad among 
the brethren, that that disciple should riot die : 
yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not 
die : but, If I will that he tarry till I come, 
what is that to thee ?"— John 21:21-23. " If 
I will that he tarry till I come." The brethren 
understood this answer to convey the idea that 
John should never die. And this report they 
spread abroad. Their mistake is corrected. 
Peter was informed by what death he is to glo-
rify God, and mistook Christ's declaration con-
cerning John, that that disciple was not to die. 
No allusion could have been made to the des-
truction of Jerusalem. The answer of Christ 
was rather a rebuke to Peter for desiring to 
know the fate of John. Christ answers, in 
substance, " Peter, you must submit to my 
will. Were it my will, he might remain on 
earth without tasting death until I come again 
— but what is that to thee ? Follow thou me." 
" Till I come " did not mean the destruction of 
Jerusalem, for in that case they would say, he 
will live long, not he will never die. John did 
not so understand it. — See v. 23. If I will 
that John tarry till I come, as I predicted, sub-
mit to this will. Christ had informed Peter 
about his own fate, and required him to submit 
to his will in all things, having said nothing 
about his death, but in substance, "I shall do 
with John according to my pleasure ; this is 
not thy business." 
We have now closed our remarks as con-
nected with the first advent of Jesus, and have 
considered those passages which are supposed 
to refer to the destruction of Jerusalem. Let 
these passages be well considered. They will 
clearly show a future advent, and the glories of 
that kingdom then to be set up. 
Second Advent. — Luke havii traced in his 
gospel the blessed Jesus from his birth to his 
ascension, terminates his history of the first ad-
vent : and shows by expressions the clearest 
possible that it was the same Jesus that died, 
who arose, ate, and ascended. He introduces 
his second history in these words : " The for-
mer treatise have I made, 0 Theophilus, of all 
that Jesus began both to do and teach, until 
the day in which he was taken up, after that 
he through the Holy Ghost had given command-
ments unto the apostles whom he had chosen : to 
whom also lie showed himself alive after his pas-
sion, by many infallible proofs, being seen of them 
forty days, and speaking of the things pertain-
ing to the kingdom of God. And being assem-
bled together with them, commanded them that 
they should not depart from Jerusalem, but 
wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith 
he, ye have heard of me. For John truly bap-
tized with water ; but ye shall be baptized with 
the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When 
they therefore were come tegether, they asked 
of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time 
restore again the kingdom to Israel ? And he 
said unto them, It is not for you to know the 
times or the seasons which the Father hath 
put in his own power. But ye shall receive 
power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon 
you : and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both 
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Sama-
ria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 
Arid when he had spoken these things, while 
they beheld, he was taken up ; and a cloud re-
ceived him out of their sight. And while they 
looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went 
up, behold, two men stood by them in white 
apparel."—Acts 1:1-10. He shows that his 
former treatise includes all Jesus' acts and 
words to his ascension, and dwells on the 
proofs of his identity. He then describes their 
parting, sees Jesus rise into the heavens, and 
a cloud hides him front view. Still gazing on 
the cloud, two men clothed in white appear, and 
ask them why they continue to look after him.' 
" Tins SAME JESUS,"—Which was born of Mary, 
baptized of John, tempted of Satan, hung upon 
the cross, laid in the tomb, arose the third 
day, ate, having flesh and bones, who said, 
" Handle me, it is I myself," who ascended,—
" who is taken from you into heaven, shall so 
come in like manner as ye have seen him go in-
to heaven." Every word is emphatic. The 
second advent consists of the return of that 
same Jesus, and of his words and deeds at that 
return. 
THIS SAME JESUS. —iSo come, in like manner. 
— 1. Who returns ? 2. How does he return ? 
These are questions of great moment. 
I. Who returns ? This same Jesus, whose 
history Luke has given from his birth to his 
ascension. Has that body, named Jesus, yet 
returned ? If so, when ? The identity of the 
same Jesus will appear from the examination 
of the original of this passage.

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
if he were not a great sinner ? Little did Eli-
phaz, Bildad, and Zophar, think that they were 
even more against him 'than the wicked Sabe- 
ans and Chaldeans. " If an enemy had done 
this " he " could have borne it." Now follows 
calumny upon misfortune. He is guilty of 
crushing the helpless widow, and of robbing the 
orphan, and of becoming rich by dishonest gain. 
He is the worst of sinners, even in the estima- 
tion of the pious, because the most afflicted. If 
that struggle was " a gazing-stock to angels," 
they must have watched it with profound inte- 
rest. Satan's theology, that " the present is a 
state of reward and punishment," preached 
even by the pious, and loved by the wicked, 
must now be put to the test, and God will in 
the end arbitrate the case. 
" Hope springs eternal in the human breast ; 
Man never is, but always to be blest." 
Job must hope or die. Once a prince, and now 
a beggar; once surrounded with relations, but 
now alone, except a wife, who was Satan's 
faithful councillor, like Eve to Adam ; once of 
blooming health, and now a mass of fetid cor-
ruption, which he sought to absorb by lying in 
the ashes ; once of unstained reputation, and 
now regarded as the vilest of hypocrites, what 
has he to hope on this side of the darkness of 
the grave ? The furnace is well heated, and 
we shall soon see whether it contains gold or 
dross. He must sink in fathomless despair, or 
faith must plume itself, and rise above the 
storm. Hope he must, but can he hope to have 
his wealth, his family, his health, his reputa-
tion restored ? No, all is gone — to every hu-
man appearance — forever gone, but the feeble 
flame which flickers in the socket. Poor Job ! 
As well might a man brace himself against a 
falling mountain. Fallen, broken, crushed —
all is gone ; his days of gladness are passed. 
But no, hope, heaven-born, is yet alive, and 
proves that she thrives best in her own soil. 
From the sightless depth of his afflictions, 
we are startled with his voice, rising with unex-
pected energy — " 0 that my words were now 
written !" What words, Job ? what earthly de-
sire can remain in your heart, now that all is 
gone ? But list ! " 0 that they were printed in 
a book!" Why, you have no will to make, for 
you have nothing to leave, and, if you had, 
you have none to leave it to—except your body 
to the worms. " 0 that they were graven with 
a pen of iron, and lead in the rock forever !" 
Can there be aught with such a man so pre-
cious as to be thus perpetuated to the latest 
ggneTation ? Yes, he has found a solace, even 
ii the fathomless depth of his affliction, which 
he wishes all who shall come after him to know. 
Faith's eagle-eye pierces the gloom, and sees a 
treasure, which is even more glorious, as viewed 
in contrast with the deepest affliction :— 
" For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and 
that he shall stand at the latter day upon the 
earth : and though after my skin, worms destroy 
this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God : 
whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes 
shall behold, and not another ; though my reins 
be consumed within me. But ye should say, 
Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the 
matter is found in me ? Be ye afraid of the 
sword : for wrath bringeth the punishments of 
the sword, that ye may know there is a judg-
ment."—Job 19:25-29. 
As, the stability of European governments be- 
comes more uncertain, European capitalists be- 
come more anxious to invest their wealth in 
American stocks. And as Satan wrests this 
world from the Christian, he only turns his 
hopes and affections more earnestly to the king- 
dom of God : so that even Satan becomes the 
unwilling, undesigning agent, in securing to 
him " a far more exceeding and eternal weight 
of glory." " All things shall work together for 
good to them that love God." Job is now, with 
Isaiah, and Peter, and all the early good and 
holy, looking for a new earth, wherein the right-
eous alone shall dwell; where the wicked, nor 
Satan, shall ever trouble him, and his weary 
soul shall be at rest. And to convince his three 
friends that they had assigned a wrong cause 
for his afflictions, God restores to him, even here, 
more than he had taken from him. 
Thus God was glorified, Job was benefited, 
Satan's theology was exposed and confounded, 
while the faith once delivered to the saints was 
exhibited ; and a book produced which has 
scattered unnumbered consolations in the path-
way of the afflicted ever since, and will, till 
faith is lost in sight, prayer in praise, and hope 
in fruition. 
The following we copy from a pamphlet sent 
us from England by the last steamer, the title-
pa ge of which reads thus : " The National Res-
toration of the Jews to Palestine Repugnant to 
the Word of GOD ; a Speech, delivered in the 
Lecture Hall of the Collegiate Institution, in 
Liverpool, at the Anniversary Meeting of the 
Auxiliary Society for Promoting Christianity 
amongst the Jews, Oct. 21, 1849, the Lord Bish- 
BY I, E. JONES. 
" Affliction is the good man's shining scene." 
" Prosperity conceals its brightest ray." " "Whom 
pain cannot bless, heaven quits in despair." 
Three vastly important objects were gained 
by Job's afflictions.—lst. Being sanctified, they 
worked out for him a far more exceeding and 
eternal weight of glory. 2d. They resulted in 
a controversy between him and his three friends, 
which, by the arbitration of God himself, re- 
sulted in settling the fact, " that the scales of re-
tributive justice are not equalized in this life." 
3d. They furnished a book of unnumbered con-
solations to the afflicted ever since. " 0 the 
depth both of the wisdom and knowledge of 
God! How unsearchable are his judgments, 
and his ways past finding out !" 
The man will try the ore before purchasing 
the mine ; the farmer tries the oxen or horse 
before purchasing them ; the matron trieswhat- 
ever goods she is about to purchase ; and why 
should not God try his people before adapting 
them to be heirs of all things ? But the assay- 
er does not hold any share in the ore which he 
tries, besides his wages, unless he chooses to 
use the dross ; and Satan is employd by the 
great Proprietor to assay the precious ore of the 
kingdom, with no other reward than. the pun- 
ishment which is due to such voluntary ac-
tions. "All things work together for good to 
them that love God." 
Whether in Job's case Satan was really de-
ceived himself, as wicked men often are res- 
pecting the motives of righteous men, and 
thought it impossible for him to be governed 
with other than selfish motives, we cannot say ; 
but, be it as it may, the result was most satis-
factory. Left in his hands, he will not fail to 
make his motives manifest. Knowing the pow-
er of contrasts, he fixes on an occasion of fes-
tivity—a family anniversary—to bring upon 
him so great and sudden a succession of ills as 
shall completely confuse and overwhelm him. 
Scarcely had the messenger ceased informing 
him of the loss of his asses and oxen by the 
Sabeans, before another begins his tale of the 
entire loss of all his sheep, by the fire of God; 
and ere he had concluded, a third commmenced 
informing him of the loss of all his camels by 
the Chaldeans ; and while he is yet speaking a 
fourth brings him the melancholy intelligence 
that a whirlwind had destroyed all his children ! 
The furnace is well heated, even Satan being 
judge, and we shall now see whether there is 
mire, brimstone, or gold in it : — 
" Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and 
shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, 
and worshipped, and said, Naked came I out of 
my mother's womb, and naked shall I return 
thither : the Lord gave, and the Lord hath ta-
ken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. 
In all this Job sinned riot, nor charged God 
foolishly."—Job 1:20-22. 
Malignity is not easily convinced. Job has 
good health, and can make himself comfortable, 
if not happy. But take away his health—leave 
him without any earthly comfort—and he will 
yield. This trial was to be long and thorough. 
Satan was not to be beaten this time, when his 
life only was to be spared. One boil often gives 
one great disquiet ; but to be covered " from 
the sole of his foot to the crown," so that he can 
neither sit, stand, nor lie down—is there a man 
who can long endure that ? Satan thinks not; 
but, to provide against any possible failure, er- 
ror must be called in under the garb of religion, 
and even of friendship. Three friends, whose 
hearts were so deeply moved at 'the sight of his 
sufferings, that they lifted up their voices and 
wept, and came and sat down with him in si- 
lence, confounded at the magnitude of his ills, 
and fasted seven days—a pretty good evidence 
priety likewise to denote Christ's coming, to of their sincerity, and, as Satan no doubt would 
raise the dead, and judge the world, which have it, of the correctness of their opinions also. 
here, and in v. 13 (1 Cor. 1:7) is termed, 
" alrox,cav11.45," the revelation of his glory, (1 
Pet. 4:13,) because on that occasion, appearing 
in his own glory, as the Son of God, and in 
the glary of his Father as Judge, attended by 
an host of angels, he will reveal, or show him-
self the Son of God and Judge of the world, 
and thereby overwhelm with inexpressible con-
fusion all infidels or wicked men, who denied 
him to be the Son of God, and rejected his 
gospel, and will punish them with everlasting 
destruction. We can trace this expected ad-
vent through the epistles. We shall notice its 
introduction in the Apocalypse. — Rev. 1:7. 
The terms there used are sufficient to show, 
that this is that same Jesus whom the heavens 
were to retain till the restitution. Under the 
seventh trumpet the dead are judged, which 
Paul declares takes place at Christ's appearing 
and kingdom. — 2 Tim. 4:1. Yet at that ap-
pearing the dead are raised.-1 Thess. 4:16. 
As the seventh trumpet is the last, and intro-
duces the everlasting reign and kingdom of 
Christ, we have reason to believe that the 
Apocalypse extends to the return of that same 
Jesus, and to the commencement of his ever- 
lasting reign with his saints.

But I must also observe, that the Christian 
missionary, in his conversations with Jews, will 
think their notion of a restoration to Palestine 
inconsistent with the very nature of that Chris-
tianity which it is his blessed privilege to proclaim 
to them. For, if the Jews are to be restored, one of 
two things must take place — God must restore 
them either as Jews or as Christians. Now, I reject 
at once, and, I think, the vast majority of Chris- 
tians will reject with me, the idea that God 
will restore them as Jews; for to suppose that 
God's glorious promises can be fulfilled to those 
who refuse to acknowledge his own Son as the 
true Messiah, appears to me too monstrous to 
be generally believed. But can they be res- 
tored, as Christians, in consistency with the 
very nature of the gospel ? My Lord, the 
Christian missionary has read in his New Testa- 
ment, that in Christianity there is neither Jew 
nor Greek (Horn. 10:12; Gal. 3:28; Col. 3:11) : 
and that, whereas, in Judaism, under the Old 
Covenant, the Jews dwelt alone, 'and were not 
reckoned among the nations, (Num. 23:9,) in 
Christianity, under the New Covenant, every wall 
of separation has been thrown down by Christ. 
—Eph. 2:14. He has there read, that Jerusa- 
lem is no longer a holy place, where men ought 
specially to worship.—John 4:20-24. He has 
not forgotten the energetic emphasis of the 
greatest Christian apostle, and will not easily 
believe that " imperfection " will come back, 
that " beggarly elements " ivill be restored, and 
that " the yoke of bondage, which was done 
away in Christ," will be re-imposed by God. —
See Gal. 3:3 ; 4:9, He cannot find a place in 
Christianity, whether in Palestine or in Eng- 
land, for altars, and the blood of bulls and 
goats, and the ashes of heifers, and a gorgeous 
temple for God's especial residence, and pass- 
overs, and priests. The sun is the Christian 
firmament. The shadows have passed away, 
for the true light now shineth. And, therefore, 
the Christian missionary, anxious to win Jew-
ish souls to Christ, in my humble judgment, 
instead of teaching a restoration to a typical 
land of departed types, will rather seek to en-
graft that ancient people into the olive-tree of 
God's Catholic church, (Rom. 11:24,) and so 
make them Abraham's seed, and heirs accoring 
to the promise. 
But, my Lord, the minister of the New Testa-
ment is a successor of the apostles of Christ. 
He will naturally, therefore, inquire into the 
manner in which those apostles, in preaching to 
their Jewish countrymen, quoted the Old Testa-
ment Scriptures; and he will discover, that if 
he allow prophecy to point to Jewish Restora-
tion to Palestine, he will at once discard that 
principle of prophetic interpretation, which the 
apostles themselves have adopted, under the 
teaching of God's Spirit. For he will find St. 
James quoting Amos to prove that the planting 
of Christ's church was foretold in prophecy, as 
" the re-building of David's fallen tabernacle," 
and " the restoration of its ruined walls.",--Acts 
15:16, 17; Amos 9:11. He will find St. Paul 
quoting Isaiah to show, that by Christ's coming 
" the barren woman had rejoiced, and had in-
herited the Gentiles," and that so his glorious 
prophecy had been accomplished in that " Je-
rusalem, which is above, which is the mother of 
us all."—Gal. 4:27; Isa. 54:1. He will find 
the same apostle quoting Hosea, to show that 
the Messiah, by planting Jew and Gentile in 
one Christian church, had accomplished the pre-
diction, that, " in the place where it was said to 
the Jews, Ye are not my people, there they 
should be called the children of the living God." 
—Rom. 9:24-26: Hos, 1:10, The Christian 
missionary, I say, will remember this general 
apostolic canon of Old Testament. interpreta-
tion : and feeling, therefore, that inspired apos-
tles, who had themselves been Jews, so under-
stood their own Scriptures, as to believe that 
Christianity had richly fulfilled the prophecies 
of Judaism, he will not venture (at least !could 
not) to sanction any system of prophetic expo-
sition,. which, however it might persuade Jews 
to embrace a sort of Judaized Christianity, or 
Christianized Judaism, would, at the same 
time, differ, toto mit), from that mode of apos-
tolic interpretation, by which, under God's 
blessing, even Jewish priests were converted to 
the faith.—Acts 6:7.. 
But, my Lord, up to this point I have said no-
thing which ought to convince a Jew. For any
that I have yet spoken, the New Testa-
ment may be to him the specious history of an 
impostor. I have simply stated for myself, that 
a careful perusal of the New Testament records 
would prevent me, if I were a Christian mis-
sionary to Jews, from giving any Christian sup-
port to their hope of National Restoration. 
But, my Lord, if I have not trespassed too 
long on your kind patience, suffer me to say 
that an attentive study of the Old Testament 
Scriptures has convinced me, that a National 
Restoration to Palestine ought not to be expect-
ed by any Jew who acknowledges the authority 
of his own sacred writings. 
The Restoration of the Jews. 
circle, 23 1-2 degrees from the equator, again 
returns. The sun, in its course, reaches one 
of these tropics, and again returns, The same 
expression is used to illustrate the going and 
return of Jesus. If it is the same sun that re-
eur Is which went to this returning circle, we 
must look for the same Jesus—the Sun of right-
( ousness will return. Has that same Jesus re-
turned ? When did he return ? Were Titus 
and his army that same Jesus ? Were they 
born of Mary, baptized of John, suspended upon 
the cross ? Did they arise and ascend ? Was 
the judgment of Jehovah on Jerusalem that 
same Jesus ? Who can believe it ? Was that 
judgment crucified ? Did it arise and ascend ? 
Was any manifestation in Swedenborg or Ann 
Lee that same Jesus ? If that body has not 
yet appeared on earth, it must yet appear. No 
one having seen it, we look for that return.—
That return can alone be called the second 
manifestation—the second advent. This alone 
is of the same order. That same body must 
again appear on the earth which it left, when it 
ascended. No other event can be called the 
second advent. In numbering first, second, 
third, we suppose the things of the same kind. 
A body was once on earth, and left it. When 
that body again appears on earth, it will be the 
second time. An army, or a judgment, or any 
peculiar divine providence, can no more be called 
the second advent of Jesus, than a man's voice 
can be called his flesh and bones. From this as-
cension we have frequent notices of the return 
of that same Jesus. On this point we refer to 
the following scriptures : " Whom the heaven 
must' retain."—Acts 3:21. This expression 
has a direct bearing on the idea before presented, 
that the heaven did receive a body, called 
Jesus, and that body it must retain until the 
time of the restitution. The expression, " the 
Lord himself," (1 Thess. 4:16,) is guarded, and 
carries the idea that no substituted body can 
answer the conditions. " And to them that 
look for him, he will appear the second time." 
Heb. 9:28. Now as the first time was his 
first manifestation in flesh to his ascension, 
the second time must be when the heaven sur-
renders that same body. Many are now look-
ing for that body, and it must again appear. 
Many other passages might be introduced to 
the same effect. 
The terms which denote his second coming 
are as follows : 1. Revelation, or manifesta-
tion, as a word applied to Christ, occurs seven 
times, viz., 1 Cor. 1:7 ; 2 Cor. 12:1; Gal. 1: 
12 ; 2 Thess, 1:7 ; 1 Pet. 1:7, 13 ; 4:13. In 
all it denotes his literal manifestation. In Rev. 
1:1 it stands for the title of the book, because 
that book treats especially of the coming of 
Christ. 2. Epiphany, or appearance, occurs six 
times in the New Testament, viz., 1 Tim. 6: 
14 ; 2 Tim, 4:1, 8 ; 2 Tim. 1:10 ; Tit. 2:13. 
3. Coming, or presence, occurs twenty-four 
times in the New Testament, and literally, and 
not metaphorically. There is another word 
translated coming which is sometimes used 
metaphorically — but not this word : yet this 
word has been shown, in all the places where 
it is used in the seven epistles to the seven 
churches of Asia, to denote the literal coming 
of Christ. The word that is used in reference 
to the coming, or presence of Christ, to destroy 
Popery, is literal— never metaphorical. EcpcsvE-
pfsSon—This word is applied, not only to our 
Lord's appearing in the flesh, but to his second 
appearing at the end of the world. —1 John 2: 
28 ; 1 Pet. 1:7. It signifies that Cbrist, at 
first, so the second time, shall be the object of 
men's senses, by means of his body. When 
the first coming of Christ into our world is spo-
ken of, the verb cpasEpoci, is commonly used. —
1 Tim. 3:15 ; 1 Pet. 1:20 ; 1 John 1:2 ; 3:8. 
Yet for reasons to be mentioned, in 1 John 2 : 
28 (see above) it is applied with peculiar pro-

With these remarks, we dismiss the subject. him ! and how could he be so utterly forsaken, 
Here was the acme of his afflictions. The char-
latan who decides an amputation, when only 
applications of cold water are needed, though 
the infernal deed be covered by ten diplomas, 
will not have furthered the cause of humanity. 
The same is true of the quack, who pulls a 
tooth to cure the colic. His sincerity does not 
make him a benefactor. Satan is never more 
successful than when in the robes of the sanc-
tuary. Our defeats are oftener the result of 
miscalculating the forces of the enemy than of 
our own. We contend against principalities 
and powers, and wicked spirits in high places. 
Wrong premises lead to wrong conclusions. 
Job's three pious friends assumed that great 
judgments only fall upon correspondingly great 
sinners; and, as it is better to justify God than 
man, they take a very short way to a long con-
clusion, that, therefore, Job is a great. sinner. 
The cause must be removed, and then the effect 
will cease. Worn out for the want of nourish-
ment and rest, crazed with pain, his head swim-
ming with giddiness, and he gasping with faint-
ness, he must listen to their logic and earnest 
exhortations. " The fire of God," the wind, 
the Sabeans, the Chaldeans, God, and the ele-
ments, and the wicked are all let loose upon

I find Jonah, the prophet, prophesying (and it is 
his only prediction) that Nineveh would be over-
thrown in forty days ; and yet the appointed 
time passed by, and spared Nineveh remained 
an instructive witness to God's gracious repent-
ance of prophesied destruction.—Jonah 3:4, 10. 
Ought, then, the Jew, with this principle of pro-
phetic interpretation in his memory, to expect 
the temporal restoration of his nation ? Cer-
tainly not. National prophecy was evidently 
intended by God for national encouragement 
and national warning. The Jewish nation, ac-
cording to their own records, neglected the en-
couragement and despised the warning ; and, 
unless it can be proved that the sole object of 
God's prophecies was to foretel future events, 
which were fatally to come true, irrespectively 
of all conditions and circumstances, the Jews 
have no right to expect such a fulfilment of 
them as is not at all required by God's own can-
on of prophetic interpretation. 
But, for the sake of friendly argument, let 
chronology be dispensed with, and let the prin-
ciple of ancient prophecy be, that everything 
must fatally and literally be accomplished, 
whether for weal or for woe. Alas, for Jewish 
Restoration ! What though, as the finger of 
the Jew directs me, I find it written, that the 
temple, with all its cedar, and vermilion, and 
precious stones, shall be re-built; that Levi's 
priesthood, with all its gorgeous vestments, shall 
be restored; that rams of Nebaioth shall yet 
be sacrificed, with acceptance, on God's altar ; 
that rivers, not to be passed over, shall flow 
from the Eastern sanctuary, shadowed by un-
fading foliage ; and that Jerusalem shall be 
lighted, not by sun and moon, but by the ex-
cessive splendor of Jehovah's glory ? — See 
Ezek. 47:1-12 ; Isa. 60:7, 19. I turn, my Lord, 
with undazzled eyes (for such religious magnifi-
cence will never dazzle the eyes of him who 
looks at God in the face of Jesus Christ)—I 
turn from that glowing description of a poetic 
future, and point, with my own finger, to dark 
passages of fearful import. I find that ancient 
prophet, Moses, prophesying, that God's des- 
tructive curse should rest upon the Jews forever, 
(Deut. 28:45, 46,) and that, as the nations of 
Canaan had been destroyed, even so should 
they be destroyed.—Deut. 8 : 19, 20. I read 
Jeremiah predicting, from the mouth of the 
Lord, that his anger and his fury would be 
poured out upon Palestine, upon man, and upon 
beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon 
the fruit of the ground ; and that it would burn, 
and would not be quenched .—Jer. 7:20 ; see also 
chap. 17:27. I find that it was prophesied by 
the same prophet, that Judah's sin was so writ- 
ten with the point of the diamond, that it had 
kindled a fire in God's anger, which would for- 
ever burn.—Jer. 17 : 1-4. And, once a g$141 I 
find it written in Jehovah's prophecy, that he 
would utterly forget the Jews, that he would 
forsake both them and their city, and that he 
would bring upon them an everlasting reproach, 
and a perpetual shame, which should not be 
forgotten.—Jer. 28:39, 40. Alas, my Lord, for 
Jewish Restoration ! How shall the Jew feast 
himself on visions of anticipated national glory, 
with this divine sword of prophesied extermina- 
tion suspended over his banquet-table ? It can-
not be. Let chronology be an ancient fable, 
and let God's prophetic dealings with man be re- 
solved into Mohammedan fatalism ; but, so 
long as, in this Jewish garden, the dragon of 
vengeance guards this tree of prophecy—so long 
as no hero can be found to silence that dread 
voice, and quench those burning eyes of eternal 
anger—no Jew may ever dare to touch the for-
bidden fruit of National Restoration. 
My Lord, and Christian friends, and Jewish 
brethren, if any such be present, I have now de- 
clared, in all honesty and Christian simplicity, 
the views which I have carefully and delibe-
rately adopted as to the Scriptural mode of 
preaching the Gospel to Jews. It is, in few 
words, to teach them Christianity as the com-
plete fulfilment of Judaism. It is to declare to 
them, that that new and better Covenant, of 
which their own prophets spake, is the Gospel 
of Christ. They must take their choice. They 
cannot have both Judaism and Christianity.— 
They cannot have the type, and, with it, the an-
titype. They cannot have the rest of Canaan, 
and, with it, the rest which remaineth for the 
people of God. They cannot be, at once, under 
the law and under grace. They cannot lie in 
bondage under the elements of the world, and 
also stand fast in that liberty wherewith Christ 
has made us free. They cannot worship, with 
slaughtered beasts, in Jerusalem, and also offer 
spiritual sacrifices, in the church of Christ, for 
the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of 
the world. 
My Lord, I have not spoken this evening 
against Jewish Restoration. I have spoken in 
its favor. I would indeed restore the Jews to 
the true church of God, to their own olive-tree. 
For God's church was once their church. But 
it pleased God graciously to lead that church 
from childhood to manhood. It pleased Him, 
in his great goodness, to abolish its old Cove-
nant by giving it a new and better one. It 
He ought not to expect it : because the defi-
nite marks of chronology are plainly against 
him. The passages, which he cites most tri-
umphantly to prove the future glories of his 
nation, are precisely those which are insepara-
bly connected with the chronological signs of 
the past. He bids me listen to Isaiah, and to 
expect that Jehovah will again assemble the 
outcasts of Israel arid the dispersed of Judah : 
but Isaiah also tells me that whenever that 
event should come to pass, the Philistines should 
be overthrown, and Edom and Moab subdued, 
and the children of Ammon vanquished.—Isa. 
1 1 : 1 0 — 1 4 . He bids me again listen to Isaiah, 
and believe that the Lord will have mercy upon 
Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them 
in their own land. But I examine his quota-
tion for myself, and I find that his own prophet 
informs me, that a proverb against the king of 
Babylon was to celebrate that National Restora-
tion (Isa. 14:1-4) : and I cannot, therefore, de-
mand it of the future. He assures me, from 
the same prophet, that Israel is yet to be saved 
with an everlasting salvation, and that nations in 
chains are to make their supplications in the 
dust before the monarch people of the earth ; 
but Isaiah also tells me, that all that glory was 
to be procured by Cyrus, and that " the breaking, 
of Babylon's gates of brass " was to be the har-
binger of that return.—Isa. 45:1, 14, 17. He 
brings Zechariah to convince me that the land 
of the North will send its Jews to Palestine ; 
that the dispersion of the-four winds of heaven 
will again become a nation ; and that Jehovah 
will again inherit Judah and choose Jerusalem. 
But I ask Zechariah, for whom he meant the 
encouragement of his prophecy ? And he dis-
tinctly replies : " For Zion, who was dwelling 
with the daughter of Babylon."—Zech. 2:6, 7. 
He bids me recollect that Jeremiah promised 
that Jehovah would gather his Jews from every 
place of their captivity ; but then Jeremiah also 
declared that the accomplishment of seventy 
years was to be the date of God's predicted 
mercy.—Jer. 29:10-14. My Lord, I do not say 
that chronology is. poetry ; but it is true and 
useful, and it ought, I humbly think, to prove to 
every logical Jewish mind, that the restoration 
of the Jewish nation, however it may be 
brought about, in God's providence, by the in-
fluence and efforts of Rothschilds and Montefi-
ores, ought not to be expected by the Jews, as 
an accomplishment of the prophecies of Jehovah. 
But, supposing that these stern chronological 
difficulties could be got over, there would still 
remain, as I respectfully submit, an unanswera-
ble objection to Jewish Restoration, derived from 
the very nature of Old Testament prophecy, 
when that prophecy has reference to the des-
tinies of nations. This objection arises from 
the fact, that, according to the explicit declara-
tions of God himself, hits. national prophecies 
were never intended to be unconditional, and, 
therefore, were never to be considered as fated 
to be literally accomplished. I learn this from 
the positive assertion in the eighteenth chapter 
of Jeremiah's prophecies, where Jehovah de-
clares, in the clearest language, that, however 
he may prophesy either national evil or national 
good, he retains in his own hands the power of 
repenting (to use his own divine expression) of 
either the evil or the good, which, by his proph-
ets, he had predicted. — " At what instant I 
shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning 
a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and 
to destroy it; if that nation, against whom I 
have pronounced, turn from their evil, 1 will re-
pent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 
And at what instant I shall speak concerning a 
nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and 
to plant it; if it do evil in my sight, that it 
obey not my voice, then I will repent of the 
good, wherewith I said I would benefit them."—
Jer. 18:7-10. See also chap. 1:9, 10, where 
Jeremiah's prophetical office is described in 
similar words to those which are used in the 
18th chapter.—See also Judg. 2:1-3. And, in 
perfect consistency with this sacred canon, I 
find in the Old Testament Scriptures a variety 
of prophecies, which never have been, and, in 
the very nature of things, never can be accom-
plished. I find Nathan, the prophet, predicting 
to David " that Israel should never move from 
the land of Palestine :" but I know that they 
were removed ; and I know also, that the• re-
moval was afterwards accounted for by an ex-
plicit assertion, that God's prophecy was not 
unconditional.-2 Sam. 7:10 ; 2 Kings 21:7, 8, 
14. I find Micah, the prophet, predicting, as a 
punishment to the rebellious Jews of his day, 
that their city should become heaps : but I find 
also, in Jeremiah, the prophet, that that very 
prophecy of Micah, the Morasthite, is quoted 
word for word, only to show that God had re-
pented of it, and had not fulfilled it.—Micah 3 : 
12 ; Jer. 26 : 17, 19. I find the same prophet, 
Jeremiah, prophesying that the Jews who re-
turned from Babylon, should also turn to God 
with their whole heart, and should never be plucked 
up from Palestine ; but yet I know, from Ezra 
and Nehemiah, that they were not all true ser-
vants of Jehovah ; and I have no reason to 
doubt that the destruction of Jerusalem by the 
Romans is a credible fact of past history.---Jer. 
pleased him to make temporal promises wax 
dim in contrast with that immortality and life, 
 
which Christ brought to light by the Gospel. 
Why, my Lord, should the Jew prefer to be a 
slave, when he may be a son of God through 
Jesus Christ ? At least, let none of us encou-
rage him in that base preference. No : let us 
rather beseech him, with the affectionate ear-
nestness of those who are in possession (see 1 
Cor. 2:9,10; Isa. 64:4) of those better things, 
which Jewish eye never saw, and Jewish ear 
never heard, to restore himself to that church 
which may again be his own as well as ours. 
We will all welcome him as a brother in Christ. 
We will all honor him as a true son of Abra-
ham. And, while we deny to him any separate 
right to God's favor,—for that would be to dis-
honor our Universal Bishop,—yet, if he will 
love God more, and serve Christ better, we will 
all acknowledge, with willingness of heart, his 
pre-eminence in the kingdom of God, and his 
nearer relationship to Christ our King. We are 
bound to do so, for he has said : " Whosoever 
shall do the will of my Father, which is in 
heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and 
mother."—Mark 3:35. 
The Escape of Dr. Achilli. 
The following particulars of the escape of Dr. 
AcHILLI from the Inquisition at Rome, are taken 
from a letter which he wrote to Sir CULLING 
EARDLEY, dated Paris, Feb. 3d. 
On the morning of December 24 my jailer 
came to me to say that an order had come from 
the French general, to allow me to have free 
communication with a certain Dr. Bambozzi, 
and another person with him, whenever they 
might come to see me. The jailer, not know-
ing as I did who the parties were who had such 
ample permission, denied in every other case, to 
converse with me, endeavored to persuade me 
that they were really two of my friends, who 
had, by great exertion, succeeded in obtaining 
what had been granted to no one else. But I 
was not deceived. The more so, when I knew 
the next day that the adjutant of the fort, a de-
voted friend of the priests, had asked and ob-
tained from the Cardinals a confirmation of the 
order. 
Eight days elapsed, and Dr. Bambozzi, an-
nounced with so great interest, had not yet ap-
peared. This made my fellow prisoners and 
myself constantly laugh at the name of my vis-
itor and at his expected visit. December 31, I 
was asked for by two persons, who announced 
themselves as " visitors." The door opened, 
and in came a priest, in fact a Monsignore, 
whom I recognized from his purple tippet, and 
another person, both strangers to me. They 
received me with great gravity, and, after hay-
ing looked at me from head to foot, made me a 
signal to sit down. I then discovered that they 
were two judges, and knew the quarter that 
they came from. (I afterwards ascertained that 
the priest was Monsignor Bambozzi, the Fiscal 
of the Inquisition, and the other the Advocate 
DeDominicis, Chancellor of the Inquisition.) 
After we were seated all three round a table, 
the priest made a sign to the other to write, and 
began to dictate to him in Latin. " A certain 
man (homo quidam) appeared before me, who 
declares his name to be Giacinto Achilli, son of 
. . . . born at . . . . aged about . . . . dress-
ed, (here follows the description of my dress 
from head to foot,) committed to this prison, &c., 
who, being interrogated whether he knew why 
he was imprisoned, replied, " I have been here 
for six months, and I do not yet know why I 
was arrested." Interrogated if he knew by 
what tribunal he was now arraigned and exam-
ined, he replied, " I wish to be informed." And 
being told that he was arraigned and examined 
by the magistrates of the Holy Inquisition, he 
replied, " I am very glad of it." Admonished 
to tell the truth, and to recognize in this fact 
the justice of God, and not the vengeance of 
man, he replied to the first part, " I promise to 
tell the truth ;" on the second he was silent. 
At this point he produced a quire of paper 
covered with writing, and bagan to read the 
first page, from which I perceived that it was 
the minute taken down the second day of my 
imprisonment, by a judge of the Cardinal Vicar, 
consisting of a general interrogatory on the 
whole of my life — that is to say, my educa-
tion, my studies, my public functions, my occu-
pations, my journies, and especially that to the 
Ionian Islands, Malta, England, &c., till my re-
turn to Rome ; what I had done during the Ro-
man Republic ; and finishing with my impris-
onment. All this, confronted anew with nu-
merous questions, formed the subject of my first 
interview with the Monsignor Bambozzi and his 
companion. In a moment the whole Castle of 
St. Angelo was full of the news that the Judges 
of the Inquisition, with special permission of 
the French authorities, had come to take pos-
session of me. You can imagine the indigna-
tion felt, and the severe expressions employed 
against the priests and the French. I alone 
smiled in the midst of the universal excitement. 
Four days afterward the two magistrates of the 
SANGUINE AND HOPEFUL TEACHERS.—Luther, 
and Knox, and Howard, and Eliot, and Wil-
liams, all were sanguine men. They saw eve-
rything in rose-light, — in a warm light bor-
rowed from the promises of God, and from the 
bright results to which their ardent faith looked 
forward. And if you would be a successful 
teacher, you must be sanguine. You must-shed 
on your class some of this borrowed rose-light. 
You must not be daunted by any difficulty.—
You must not even be startled by any outbreak 
of depravity. And you must not despond, 
though hopes be only raised in order to be 
dashed again. Still look at the turbulent spi-
rits and sulky truants before you ; but look at 
the Christian citizens and affectionate disciples 
into whom you hope to see them transformed. 
They are yet to be your joy and crown : take 
pains with them, therefore, though they be 
your present grief and cross. Hope the best, 
and this very hope will end in something good. 
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.— The believer loves 
the Bible for God's sake—as the expression of 
all that is holy and good, even as the revealed 
will of Him who is holiness and goodness itself. 
David could say that he thus delighted even in 
that portion of Scripture which he was per-
mitted to see ; that portion which seems to us 
full of terror, as compared with the gospel, viz., 
the literal " law of the Lord." Its holy re 
quirements must have shown him his own deep 
sinfulness, and driven him for pardon and hope 
to the mercy of God through the coming atone-
ment. Still he delighted in the law for its very 
purity. And what shall the Christian feel, who 
sees things which " many prophets and kings 
have desired to see," and " have not seen them ;" 
who can hold in his hand the law and the gos-
pel together, blending in a wonderful harmony, 
and to whom the law simply acts as a school-
master, to bring him unto Christ?

 A 
.1 
: A 
Inquisition were again announced. Thereupon 
a new and very long interrogatory (still in 
Latin) ensued. 
[Dr. Theiner, a Priest of the Oratory, subse-
quently visited Dr. Achilli, and gave him books 
to read, with the view of bringing him back to 
the Roman Church.] 
I was in the middle of the third visit of the 
Padre Theiner, in the full fervor of our contro-
versies, when the captain of the castle came to 
inform me that two Chasseurs de Vincennes were 
arrived, to take me to the French Council of 
War, to give evidence in the case of Signor 
Cernuschi, deputy of the people under the Re-
public. I was not more surprised than my the-
ologian, who was even more unable than my-
self to comprehend how I, separated from the 
rest of the world by virtue of the laws•of the 
Inquisition, could be summoned before a mili-
tary tribunal by a foreign authority. The cap-
tain added, that there was the permission of the 
Cardinal Vicar. " Let us go, in the name of 
the Lord," was my thought. The Padre Thei-
ner accompanied me to the carriage, in which 
two soldiers armed with carbines, sat by my 
side. The tribunal is held at the Ecclesiastical 
Academy, in the Piazza di Minerva. The 
Captaine Rapporteur was alone. He put a few 
questions to me about the person of Cernuschi, 
and said some other things to me. * * * * He 
then remanded me to the castle. 
The next day, the 19th of January, my theo-
logian visited me again. In the midst of our 
discussion, which had now lasted some time, 
my jailer came to tell me that the two chas-
seurs were come back again to take me to the 
military commission. This time the carriage 
was an open one, and traversing the long street 
from the Castle to the Minerva, I saw and was 
seen by many persons. The Captaine Rap-
porteur was very obliging, and I am sure felt 
personal sympathy with me. I will not repeat 
the conversation which I had with him. . . . 
will only say that I was greatly cheered, and I 
could not help feeling as if I were free and my 
own master. I determined to try if it were so. 
 In an antechamber were several sets 
of military accoutrements. In a moment I had 
dressed myself cap-a-pie as a French soldier. 
The doors on to the landing were open, and 
the ingress not guarded by a single individual. 
It was half past five in the evening. I did 
what any one else would have done, and I did 
it with a smile. I descended into the Piazza di 
Minerva, passed through the Strada Pie di Ma-
rino, the Piazza del Collegio Romano, and walk-
ed through the Corso, disguised as I was. I 
changed my dress at , where money was 
prepared for me. A carriage with post-horses 
was speedily ready, and a passport. At 7 P. 
I passed the walls of Rome. In six hours 
I arrived at Civiti Vecchia, rested till day-light, 
presented several letters, and embarked on board 
a steamer of war. 
The next day we sailed for Toulon, and from 
thence I went to Marseilles, where I was una-
ble to remain. I stopped, however, a day at 
Lyons. 
THE ADVINcT HERAL D. 
party purpose, should doubt the opinion of Dr. 
SPARKS as to the prominent events in WASHINGTON'S 
life. 
To all this evidence, the opposition consists chiefly 
in quoting EPIPHANIUS, an Italian ecclesiastical histo-
rian who wrote about A. D. 510, who says that JOHN 
was banished to Patmos by Cnsumus CAESAR. This 
would bring back the date to about the year 50, or 
more than 40 years before the time stated by Ian-
NEus. The reign of CLAUDIUS was from A. D. 41 to 
54. That this statement of EPIPHANIUS is a great 
blunder, can be made manifest without reference to 
the weight of testimony by which it is overborne. 
There are several objections which seem fatal to it. 
Joust was evidently banished in a time of severe 
and wide-spread persecution ; for he says, in his gen-
eral address to the churches, " I JOHN, who am also 
your brother, and companion in tribulation." — Rev. 
1:9. Now the whole New Testament history indi-
cates that there was no persecution of Christians, as 
such, under Cikei:nes. His reign embraced the pe-
riod of which we have the history in Acts, chaps. 10 
to 17, inclusive. In all this time PAUL and the other 
apostles appear to have been actively engaged, carry-
ing the good news throughout Asia Minor, and 
preaching in the chief cities of Macedonia and Achaia 
from Philippi to Corinth. So far from suffering the 
least opposition from the Roman Government, PAUL 
appealed to the terrified magistrates at Philippi, and 
they dared not refuse to recognize his rights as a Ro-
man citizen. And this occurred, according to the 
Bible Society's dates, in the last year but one of 
CLAUDIUS' reign. TOWNSEND'S dates would extend 
the reign of CLAUDIUS to Acts 18:22, including 
PAUL'S labors at Corinth, and his journey to Jerusa-
lem. In all this time there was evidently no perse-
cution of Christians by the authority of the Emperor, 
though he banished Jews from Rome, but did not 
otherwise restrain their movements, or molest them. 
While PAUL was thus openly prosecuting his labors, 
and sailing almost in sight of the island of Patmos, 
is it possible to believe that poor JOHN had been sin-
gled out by CLAUDIUS and banished to that lonely 
spot 1 
We have also direct evidence from EUSEBIUS, that 
there was no persecution of Christians under CLAU-
DIUS, for he refers to the persecution by NERO, and 
then calls that under DOMITIAN the second persecu-
tion against Christians. 
But there is another objection, if possible, still 
more fatal. This should certainly be admitted by all 
who interpret the epistles to the churches literally as of 
course Prof. STUART does, for he confines the whole 
book within the compass of a few years. 
The first planting of the church at Ephesus is 
rricoioned in Acts 18:19, which, according to the 
Bible Society's dates, was after the close of CLAU-
mus' reign. Two years afterwards, PAUL comes to 
Ephesus, and finds twelve disciples who had not heard 
whether there was any Holy Ghost. He instructed 
them and labored at Ephesus for two years, and left 
TIMOTHY there. About six years afterwards, PAUL, 
being a prisoner at Rome under NERO, writes his 
epistle to the Ephesians, from which it seems he had 
heard a very good account of them, for he says : " I 
also, after I heard of your faith in the LORD JESUS, 
and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks 
for you," &c. — Eph. 1:15, 16. Now turn to Rev. 
2:1, and read the Epistle to the church at Ephesus, 
where it is made plain that they had passed through 
a long and varied experience, and it is said they had 
left their first love. Such language could not have 
been addressed to them till a considerable time after 
PAUL'S Epistle. The common date allows an inter-
val of thirty years ; —but the testimony of EPIPHA-
NIUS would make the address from CHRIST to the 
Ephesian church ten years before PAUL'S Epistle, and 
even before PAUL'S public labors at Ephesus, if not 
before the existence of the first little germ of that 
church. 
But there are some who contend that what we call 
the Epistle to the Ephesians was really addressed to 
the church at Laodicea. Suppose we admit it. The 
objector gains nothing. The language of PAUL 
quoted above, must then be applied to the Laodiceans, 
ten years, at least, after CLAUDIUS' reign. But when 
the book of Revelation was written, they were luke-
warm, " wretched, and miserable, and blind, and 
naked." This Laodicean church is recognized by 
PAUL, in his Epistle to the Colossians, also written 
from Rome, A. D. 64, or 66, in which he uses the 
same expressions of thankfulness, in having heard of 
their faith and love, and commands that the same 
epistle be read in the church of the Laodiceans,— as 
if this language belonged as much to them as to the 
Colossians. 
These considerations, and many others like them, 
make it manifest that there is a great mistake in the 
testimony of EPIPHANIUS. 
thY
ut another witness is introduced, not to confirm 
first, but to contradict him. This is ANDREAs, a 
bishop in Cappadocia, who lived about A. D. 500. In 
his comment on Rev. 6:16, he says JOHN received 
this Revelation tinder the reign of VESPASIAN. This 
ink, and every man, woman, and child were a 
ready writer, yet were they not able to express 
the thousandth part of those joys that saints 
shall have in heaven. All the joy we have 
here in this world is but pensiveness to what 
we shall have in heaven : all sweetness here, 
to that but bitterness.

Till. A II, EN'i' HERALD. 
This paper having now been published since March, 1840, the ten 
years of its past existence are a sufficient guarality of its future 
course, while it may be needed as a chronicler of the signs of the 
times, and an exponent of prophecy 
The object of this periodical is to discuss the great question of the 
age in whirls we live—The near approach of the Fifth Universal 
Monarchy ; in which the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be 
given to the saints of the Most High, for an everlasting possession. 
Also to take note of such passing events as mark the present time ; 
and to holdup before all men a faithful and affectionate warning to 
flee front the wrath to come. 
The course we have marked out for the future, is to give in the 
columns of the Herald-1. The hest thoughts front the pens of origi-
nal writers, illustrative of the prophecies. 2. Judicious selections

The principles prominently presented, will be those unanimously 
adopted biy the " Mutual General Conference of Adventists," held at 
Albany, N. Y., April 59, 1845 ; and which are in brief— 
The Regeneration of this earth by Fire, and its Restoration to

We are living in the space of time between the sixth and sev

11:14—the time in which we may look for the crowning consumma-
tion of the prophetic declarations. 
These views we propose to sustain by the harmony and letter of 
the inspired Word, the faith of the primitive church, the fulfilment 
of prophecy in history, and the aspects of the future. We shall en-
deavor, by the Divine help, to present evidence, and answer objec-
tions, and meet the difficulties of candid inquiry, in a manner becom-
ing the questions we discuss ; and so as to approve ourselves to 
every man's conscience in the sight of Goo. 
These are great practical questions. If indeed the Kingdom of 
Goo is at hand, it becometh all Christiars to make efforts for re- 
newed exertions, during the little time allotted them for labor in the 
Master's service It becometh them also to examine the Scriptures

Date of the Revelation. 
to a host of witnesses, as to the genuineness of the 
hook, and uniformly speaks of its date, (about A. D. 
96,) as if it were not questioned or doubted. 
We turn next to SCOTT. He says : " He [JouN] 
was banished, as is generally thought, by the Empe-
ror DOMITIAN, A. D. 94, or 95. Some, indeed, main-
tain that this happened much earlier, even during the 
persecution of NERO, A. D. 67, or 68, or even before 
that time, but the arguments adduced in support of 
this opinion, are by no means conclusive." 
We next open the Encyclopedia of Religious 
Knowledge. Here it is said, without qualification : 
" St. Jonst was banished to Patmos, in the latter part 
of the reign of DOMITIAN, and he returned to Ephe-
sus, immediately after the death of that Emperor, 
which happened in the year 96." 
We next consult Dr. CLARK. He says : " It is 
the general testimony of ancient authors, that St. 
JOHN was banished into Patmos in the time of Dom-
TIAN, in the latter part of his reign, and restored by 
his successor NERVA. But the hook could not be 
published, till after JOHN'S release, and return to 
Ephesus, in Asia. DOMITIAN died in 96, and his 
persecution did not commence till near the end of his 
reign." 
TOWNSEND, an Episcopalian commentator, famed 
for his arrangement of the Bible, copies a full synop-
sis of that sample of German criticism, in which 
WETSTEIN applies the whole book, except the first 
three chapters, " to the Jewish war, and to the civil 
commotions which took place in Italy, while OTHO, 
VITELLIITS, and VESPASIAN were contending for the 
empire. These contentions, and destructive wars, 
occupied the space of about three years and a half, 
during which, Professor WETSTEIN thinks, the prin-
cipal events took place, which are recorded in this 
hook." TOWNSEND proceeds : " It does not appear 
necessary to enter into any confutation of this scheme, 
which is founded upon the hypothesis that the Apoc-
alypse was written before the Jewish war. This 
opinion, too, has been lately defended at great length, 
by Mr. Tinsocn, who has adopted Sir IsAAc NEW-
TON'S idea that the epistles contain quotations from 
the Revelations. Mr. Tinnocii has managed this 
part of his argument with great skill, but the argu-
ments for the later date are so much more satisfactory, 
that I cannot assent to the supposition of the early 
date." 
Remember that he comes to this result after care-
fully examining both sides, and apparently with a 
strong desire to adopt that view, which yet he " can-
not assent to," for he adds : " If the evidence for the 
late date of the Apocalypse were not so DECISIVE, I 
should have gladly assigned a much earlier period 
for its composition. * * After a very careful pe- 
rusal, both of Miele/Ems' and Mr. Tinocies objec-
tions, it appears most probable that the generally re-
ceived opinion is most correct. " The unanimous 
voice of Christian antiquity attests that St. JOHN was 
banished by order of DOMITIAN, IRENEUS, ORIGEN, 
and other early fathers, refer the apostle's exile to the 
latter part of DOMITIAN'S reign, and they concur in 
saying that he there saw the Revelation." 
As to the weight of this testimony, I will here 
quote from the Encyclopedia of Religious Know- 
ledge. " JUSTIN MARTYR, who lived about sixty 
years after it [the Revelation] was written, ascribes 
it to St. JOHN. So does IREsissus, whose testimony is 
alone sufficient on this point ; for he was the disciple 
of Ponvestta, who was the disciple of JOHN himself; 
and he expressly tells us that he had the explanation 
of a certain passage in this book from those who had 
cenversed with St. JOHN the author." Although 
this was adduced to prove that the apostle JOHN was 
the author of the book, it also shows there was very 
little room for mistake as to the time when it was 
written. 
Having a translation of EUSEBIUS at hand, I will 
remarking that he was born at Cesarea, about A. D. 
270, and died about 340. He was the most learned 
man of his time, and in 314, was appointed bishop of 
his native city. He says : " DOMITIAN, having ex-
ercised his cruelty against many, and unjustly slain 
no small number of noble and illustrious men at 
Rome, * at length established himself as the suc- 
cessor of NERO, in his hatred and hostility to GOD. 
He was the second that raised a persecution against 
us. In this persecution, it is handed down by tradi- 
tion, that the apostle and evangelist JOHN * was 
condemned to dwell on the island of Patmos. IRE-
NEUS, indeed, in his fifth book against the heresies, 
where he speaks of the calculation formed on the epi-
thet of Antichrist, in the above-mentioned Revelation 
of JOHN, speaks in the following manner respecting 
him: If, however, it were necessary to proclaim his 
name, (i. e. Antichrist's,) openly at the present time, 
it would have been declared by him who saw the 
Revelation, for it was not long since it was seen, but 
almost in our own times, at the close of DommAN's 
reign. ' " Insissus was born only about 30 years 
after the death of JOHN ; and when Prof. STUART 
so gravely questions the " opinion of IRENEUS," it 
sounds very much as if some future politician, for a 
witness, if he is good for anything, is good to show 
that the former witness was false. But this testi-
mony serves Prof. STUART, as little as it does us. 
The reign of VESPASIAN did not commence till the 
year 69, in the midst of the war in which Jerusalem 
was destroyed. But this statement of ANDREAS is in 
direct contradiction to the language of EUSEBIUS, 
who, speaking of DOMITIAN, says : " His father 
VESPASIAN had attempted nothing to our prejudice," 
i. e. nothing against Christians. Shall we take this 
statement of ANDREAS, living four hundred years 
after the time he speaks of, as sufficient to convict 
EUSEBIUS of gross ignorance as to what VESPASIAN 
had done, and IRENEUS of gross blundering as to a 
great event, occurring almost in his own times 
But there is one other witness brought forward, 
not to confirm either of the others, but to contradict 
them both. This is an inscription to the book of 
Revelation, in the Syriac Version, first published in 
1627, as follows : The Revelation which GOD 
made to JOHN the Evangelist, in the island of Patmos, 
to which he was banished by Nsato CESAR." As 
his reign extended from 54 to 68, and Jerusalem was 
destroyed in the year 70, this inscription will answer 
the purpose sought, of carrying the book back to 
some point before that event. 
But the argument drawn frotn the epistles to the 
churches is nearly as good against this inscription, 
as against EPIPHANIUS. PAUL'S Epistle to the Ephe-
sians is dated by the Bib. Soc. but four years, and by 
TOWNSEND but seven years before the close of NE-
RO'S reign. Is it reasonable to suppose that the 
church at Ephesus under the influence of these glow-
ing epistles of PAUL, and blessed with the labors of 
TIMOTHY and others, should, almost immediately, 
have become worthy of such rebuke as is given in 
Rev. 2:41 Or that the church of Laodicea, similarly 
favored, should so soon have sunk so low ? Or that 
the church at Sardis should so soon have become 
" dead ? " 
But again, the church at Ephesus in Rev. 2:2, is 
commended for their labor and patience, as if they 
had already suffered persecution. This is expressed 
in still plainer language in the address to the church 
at Smyrna : " I know thy works and tribulation." 
The original word, says Dr. LARDNER, always de-
notes persecution, and it is so explained in the next 
verse, and in v. 13 reference is made to those days 
when ANTIPAS, a martyr, was slain. The persecu-
tion under NERO, though extremely severe, was al-
most wholly confined to the Christians at Rome, be-
ing instigated against them on pretence that they had 
set the city on fire. It is therefore extremely im-
probable that it would reach JOHN, or the Christians 
at Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamos. But even al-
lowing the present witless to be correct, we find a 
difficulty fatal to Prof. STUART'S theory. JOHN says, 
Rev. 1:9, " I WAS in the island that is called Pat-
mos." This shows that he had been liberated, before 
the book was published, and of course indicates that 
the publication was not till after the death of the em-
peror who banished him, in which case the churches 
to whom it was addressed, could hardly hear of it be-
fore the events to which Prof. STUART applies it, had 
all gone by. If the book concerned the Christians at 
Jerusalem, it entirely failed, for they fled, either be-
fore the death of NERO, or very soon after, when 
CESTIUS GALLUS came against the city. 
But without suggesting any more difficulties, we 
ask, on what authority this inscription rests ? Those 
inscriptions retained in our common Bibles, at the 
close of each epistle, are allowed to be of no au-
thority, though several of them are probably true ;—
yet DODDRIDGE maintains that some are manifestly in-
correct. And what evidence is there that this is not? 
Would it be strange if somebody, at some time, pre-
vious to 1627, having the manuscript in his hands, 
wrote or copied the inscription, under the erroneous 
impression that the infamous NERO banished JOHN ? 
Shall this uncertain person, living at an uncertain 
time, set aside the clear and oft-repeated language of 
IRENEUS and EUSEBIUS, especially when their lan-
guage is consistent with all the facts, while the oppos-
ing witnesses all contradict each other, and every 
reader of the Bible can see that their statements are, 
to say the least, very hard to reconcile with the facts? 
The practical importance of this question is plain. 
The Book of Revelation, so evidently written about 
thirty years after the latest of PAUL'S Epistles, and 
more than twenty-five years after the destruction of 
Jerusalem, is a prophetic chart, given by CHRIST to 
the church, and reaching down to the Second Advent. 
The blessing pronounced on him " that readeth," and 
them " that hear the words of this prophecy " is not 
confined to a few in a period when books were scarcely 
accessible to the multitude, but it belongs to us in 
common with martyrs, and others, who have gone 
before us. Its study seems specially important now, 
when most of its predictions have been accomplished, 
 
and the greatest events foretold in it are so near at 
hand.

THE meeting of the Class for Mutual Improve 
ment will be on Monday and Tuesday, April 1st ant 
2d, at the Chardon-st. Chapel. 
The question as to the 
JOHN were seen, and the book of Revelation was writ-
ten, has recently assumed considerable importance. 
The entire scheme of Prof. CROSBY'S new book, on 
the " Second Advent," must fall to the ground, unless 
the old, and, for a long time, almost universal belief, 
that it was written about the close of DOMITIAN'S 
reign, can be overthrown. 
A mighty effort has recently been made to effect 
this. The great champion, in this onset upon the 
old belief, is Prof. STUART. He has been answered 
by ELLIOTT, the author of one of the last great works 
on the Apocalypse. But it is my purpose now, to 
time when the visions of 
to these recent discussions. But in passing, we will 
.take with us, Prof. STUART'S own testimony, as 
copied from his " Commentary upon the Apocalypse," 
Vol. I. p. 263. He says : " A MAJORITY of the 
OLDER CRITICS have been inclined to adopt the opinion 
of IRENEUS, viz : that it was written during the reign 
Of DOMITIAN, i. e. during the last part of the first 
century, or in A. D. 95, or 96. Most of the recent 
commentators and critics have called this opinion in 
question, and placed the composition of the book at an 
earlier period, viz : before the destruction of Jerusa-
lem." 
The very form of this last statement seems to indi-
cate that there has been a strong motive, inclining 
these " recent critics " to argue away the old belief. 
They appear to have had a strong desire to find evi-
dences that this book preceded the event to which 
they wish to apply it. We will therefore look at the 
manner in which the subject was formerly viewed. 
First, we open our Bibles, and look at the date, 
and we find the Polyglot, the Polymicrion, and the 
Bible Societies' Bibles, and, in short, all we have 
seen without a single exception, give the date A. D. 
95 or 96.

Foreign News. 
The steamer Niagara arrived at Boston on the 22d 
inst. We make up the following summary of news 
from our files of English papers. 
ENGLAND.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL had given notice 
in Parliament that the Government had it in contem-
plation to abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant of 
Ireland and the Vice-Regal Court at Dublin, the in-
tention being to have Irish affairs managed by the 
Home Department, by a Secretary for Ireland. 
The Russian Government has addressed a note to 
its minister in London, in which is the following pas-
sage :—" You will demand of Lord PALMERSTON to 
what extent he intends to employ force in support of 
his claims, in order that the allies of King OTHO may 
be in a position to consider what means may be neces-
sary for them to adopt, to guarantee the independence 
of that monarch and his people." 
The Queen has authorized a publication of the fol-
lowing rewards for the discovery of Sir JOHN FRANK-
LIN, viz., £20,000 to any one who shall effectually 
relieve the crews of the ships, £10,000 for relieving 
or for such information as may lead to the relief of 
any of the crew, and £10,000 to any one who shall 
first succeed in ascertaining their fate. 
IRELAND.—The system of agrarian outrage is ex-
tending into Ulster. No fewer than thirteen incen-, 
diary fires are enumerated in the Northern Whig, as 
having taken place within a limited circle of a few 
northern counties in the month from the 21st of Jan. 
to the 10th inst., and to these should be added the 
serving of Terry-Alt notices, and the firing into Mr. 
ANKETELL'S house on the 13th inst. The Belfast 
Chronicle gives some details of two other incendiary 
fires ; in the one case the inmates had a very narrow 
escape, having been obliged to make their exit through 
a window, as the perpetrators of the outrage had fas-
tened the door on the outside. In the other case, the 
injury was confined to the burning of two stacks of 
straw. 
FRANCE.—Gen. LAPENE, commanding the depart-
ment of the Drome, has issued a proclamation, in 
virtue of the state of siege, forbidding all political 
banquets, meetings, processions, or demonstrations of 
any kind, contrary to public order, to the Constitution, 
or to religion or morality. 
The Socialists in the Vosges have obtained a tri-
umph. The Municipal Council of the town of the 
;nyeres having been dissolved, a new election took 
place on the 14th inst., when the entire Democratic 
list obtained the majority. 
The Minister of Public Instruction has, by decree 
dated yesterday, suspended M. EMILE DESCHAMEL, a 
professor at the Lycee Louis-le-Grand, for having 
published, in the last number of a periodical, called 
the Liberte de Penser, an article entitled " Le Catho-
licisme et le Socialisme," containing attacks on the 
Catholic clergy and religion, together with a confes-
sion of Socialism. The Moniteur du Soir states, that 
the Attorney-General of the Republic has ordered 
the seizure of a ballad, entitled " Un heros Cosmopo-
lite." A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 
M. CONSTANT ARNOULD, the author. 
A decree has been issued by the President of the 
French Republic, ordering the erection of a monu-
ment to the memory of Marshal NEY, on the very 
spot where he was shot. The monument will repre-
sent le Brave des Braves presenting his breast to the 
fire of his executioners. 
ITALY. — Accounts from Rome of the 12th, state 
that upwards of fifty persons have been arrested in 
consequence of the disorders and assassinations which 
took place during the Carnival. The irritation 
against the French was increasing, and the priests 
appeared anxious rather to increase than to allevi-
ate it. 
The propositions made by Cardinal DUPONT to the 
Pope were, that he should return to Rome immedi-
ately under the French protection ; that he should be 
restored triumphantly ; left perfectly free in the gov- 
ernment of his States ; and that the French troops 
should be withdrawn immediately on the formation of 
an independent Papal force, — it was added, how- 
ever, as a finale, that France would manifest certain 
desires as to the particular form of government to be 
adopted. As yet no definite answer has been re-
turned. His Holiness, in the strongest manner, has 
announced his desire to return, but parties have wov-
en a net about Pio IX. from which he cannot escape. 
Cardinal ANTONELLI dare not return to Rome, and will 
use all his interest, from private considerations, to 
keep his Holiness here. The Jesuits are to a man 
opposed to it. Of DUPONT they speak openly with 
great distrust. How, say they, can we trust a Gov-
ernment which is ready to make certain concessions 
to England, and which, to please the same Power, 
connived at the escape of Dr. ACHILLI ? There is a 
BRO. JOHNSTON'S CASE.—The Harbinger calls our 
attention to this, publishes several letters to show that 
Bro. J. does differ from them and the Harbinger, in 
his belief respecting baptism, the state of the dead, 
punishment of the wicked, &c., and hopes the Her-
ald " will make all right before their [its] readers." 
We would respectfully remind the Harbinger that 
the point at issue was not whether Bro. J. differs 
from its opinions, or from ours : it is whether he 
has a right to differ, without being termed " mis-
guided," and disfellowshipped —particularly when 
the writers of the letters referred to say " they do 
not complain of his moral character, but of his doc-
trine." Nor do they complain that he is unsound on 
the doctrine of the Advent. 
We have all along supposed that it was the right 
of every individual to study the Bible for himself, 
and to believe for himself respecting its teachings—
responsible only to GOD. It was agreed at Homer 
that " we will not suffer diversity of views on the 
Sonship of CHRIST, the intermediate state of the 
dead, the final destiny of the wicked, and subjects of 
like importance, to divert us from unity in our one 
great work," and that " we should be tender of each 
other's feelings, and be governed by Christian cour-
tesy, and that wisdom which is from above "—signed 
by "J. MARSH, and others." This agreement we 
want to see conscientiously abided by. In the first 
General Conference, held at Boston in 1840, it was 
agreed that " we neither condemn, nor rudely assail, 
others of a faith different from our own, nor dictate 
in matters of conscience for our brethren ;" that " it 
does not become us to judge, censure, or condemn 
others, who see not as we do ;" that " we desire to 
be humble before the LORD," and " to defer all judg-
ment to that tribunal, before which we ourselves 
must shortly stand." Abiding by these professions, 
we may love as brethren. We may hold various 
opinions, and yet it may be said of us, " How these 
Christians love one another." " Be kind." " Be 
courteous." " Abstain from all appearance of evil." 
" Let brotherly love continue." Let us love all who 
" love our Lord JESUS CHRIST in sincerity," and 
give full liberty-of conscience to all who may consci-
entiously differ from us. It would seem merely an 
act of simple justice to give Bro. JOHNSTON a hear-
ing in the Harbinger, where he is tried and con-
demned unheard. As the reason assigned for refus-
ing him a hearing is his severity, would it not be 
well to prove his severity by publishing it? The one 
who uses undue severity can alone suffer by its ap-
pearance. 
OUR CONFERENCES.—Brethren who have been fa-
miliar with the efforts which have been put forth to 
extend a knowledge of the evidence of the near per-
sonal coming of CHRIST, know full well that from 
the first we have had conferential meetings, to 
strengthen each other in the work in which we are 
engaged, to 6imitort each other by rfte*Videnceirf our 
most holy faith. These meetings we have held from 
the first, each successive year, and have accomplished 
much more than we should have done without them. 
Those brethren who have been present at these sea-
sons well know the spirit of love which has uniformly 
prevailed ; the kind and Christian fellowship which 
has always been enjoyed ; the soul-cheering and 
heaven-reviving influences, and the intelligent, con-
scientious regard for Scriptural direction in all mat-
ters of faith and practice which have been manifest-
ed ; and as they look back on them, we know that 
they regard them as the oases in the desert of life —
as green fields and purling streams, amid sandy 
wastes. They have loved the recurrence of those 
seasons ; they have gone from them refreshed, in-
vigorated, encouraged, and enlightened. 
Some have thought it would be better to have our 
meetings in New York and Boston a week earlier 
than the general anniversaries. We shall consult 
the friends on the subject, and shall be happy to hear 
from any who are interested. 
ELDER N. SOUTHARD. — We deeply sympathize 
with our beloved brother in the loss of his health. 
He retires from the field with the prayers and the 
blessings of many upon him. May GOD speedily 
restore him. He writes us as follows :— 
" Providence (R. I.), March 25th, 1850. 
" DE-AR BRO. HIMES :—In retiring for the present 
from public labors in the cause to which I had de-
voted my life, I yield to the advice of many friends 
—the prescription of an experienced physician—and 
my own convictions, founded on experience. A 
complete retirement seemed more prudent than an at- 
tempt to occupy a less laborious field, where I 
should be constantly liable to be led into labors be-
yond my strength, or, on the other hand, might find 
myself in the painful predicament of an invalid fill-
ing a place which should be occupied by an efficient 
laborer. I leave my post with deep regret, and much 
gratitude for the many kindnesses I have enjoyed. 
" N. SOUTHARD." 
" EXPOSITORS IN UNBELIEF."—A few weeks since 
we referred to a writer in the Harbinger who called 
those who teach that men are sometimes symbolized 
by angels in the Apocalypse, " expositors in unbe-
lief," &c. We regarded it as an attack on Bro. 
WEETHEE. The writer referred to disavows any 
such thought, denies having had a knowledge, at the 
time, of Bro. W.'s opinion on that point, and ac-
knowledges that on a re-examination, angels are 
sometimes put for human messengers. This is all 
that can be asked for in such a case. We are happy 
that no personal reference was intended: Still, we 
would suggest that such remarks respecting the opin-
ions of any Christian expositors do not conduce to 
growth in grace, or give us that influence over gene-
rous and candid minds, which is the result of cour- 
teous, affectionate, and enlightened efforts, in our in-
tercourse with Christians of opposing views. They 
are not to our taste. We should be happy to see 
like evidence of a desire to be kind and courteous, in 
all cases of apparent unkindness. 
" ATHEISM AMONG THE PEOPLE. By ALPHONSE 
DE LAMARTTNE. PHILLIPS, SAMPSON & CO., 110 
Washington Street, Boston." 
This is a racy Essay, by the hero of the late French 
Revolution, translated from the French. As a speci-
men, we make the following extract :— 
" Listen to the great political actors in the drama 
of our liberty. It would seem as if God was hidden 
from the souls of men : as if his name had never been 
written in the language. History will have the air 
of being atheistic, while recounting to posterity these 
annihilations, rather than deaths, of the celebrated 
men of the greatest years of France. The victims 
alone have a God ; the tribunes and lictors have none. 
" See Mirabeau on his death-bed. Crown me 
with flowers,' said he, ' intoxicate me with per-
fumes, let me die with the sound of delicious mu-
is c.' Not one word of God, or of his soul ! A 
sensual philosopher, he asks of death only a supreme 
sensualism ; he desires to give a last pleasure even to 
agony. 
" Look at Madam Roland, that strong woman of the 
Revolution, — upon the car that carries her to death. 
She looks with scorn upon the stupid People, who 
kill their prophets and their sibyls. Not one glance 
to Heaven ; only an exclamation for the earth she 
leaves: — 0, Liberty ! ' 
" Approach the prison door of the Girondines : their 
last night is a banquet, and their last hymn is the 
Marseillaise ! 
" Follow Camille Desmoulins to punishment : —
a cold and indecent pleasantry at the tribunal ; one 
long imprecation on the road to the guillotine ; —
those are the last thoughts of this dying man, about 
to appear on high ! 
" Listen to Banton, upon the platform of the scaffold, 
one step from God and immortality : — I have en-
joyed much ; let me go to sleep,' he says ; —then, 
to the executioner, ' You will show my head to the 
People; it is worth while!! Annihilation for a 
confession of faith ; vanity for his last sigh : such is 
the Frenchman of these latter days : 
" What do you think of the religious sentiment of a 
free People, whose great characters seem to walk 
thus in procession to annihilation ; and die, without 
even death, that terrible minister, recalling to their 
minds the fear or the promises of God ?" 
New Tract: 
" The Present Age : its Boasted Progress Delu-
sive. From the London Quarterly Journal of 
Prophecy,' for January, 1850. Boston : published

POCKET EDITION OF THE HYMNS OF THE HARP.—
This work is now out, and we can supply all orders. 
It has been got up in the neatest and best form possi-
ble, as also in the cheapest. Price, retail, 37 1-2 cts. 
Discount to agents. As we have had to make another 
heavy outlay, in order to accommodate our friends 
with this new work, we hope there will be sufficient 
sales to sustain us in the enterprize. The only dif-
ference between this work and the Harp is, the omis-
sion of the music. All the hymns are in, without 
alteration. 
To CORRESPONDENTS.—A. E.—We suppose the 
meaning of 1 Cor. 15:29 is, that as CHRIST cannot 
have been raised, if so be that the dead rise not, why 
are those who believe not in the resurrection of the 
dead baptized for CHRIST, who must, according to 
their belief, be among the dead.

project much favored by certain parties here to induce 
the flight or the removal of the Pope to the Lega-
tions. One thing is certain, the Pope will not 
leave at present. His position is believed to be 
both painful and perilous. He is too valuable a card 
for the intriguing parties who surround him to suffer 
to escape from their hands. Every art is practiced 
to frighten him, and make him fall into the views of 
his enemies. 
An insurrectionary outbreak occurred in Palermo on 
Sunday, the 27th of January, in the very spot where 
two years since the cry of revolt was first raised. 
The tumult was immediately suppressed by a small 
force, and six individuals arrested. They were tried, 
condemned, and shot in the course of the following 
day. One of them, a young shopman, of previously 
good character, was not killed by the first volley, and 
proclaimed his innocence to the last. The affair has 
created considerable dissatisfaction. 
From ROme we learn that a bouquet, containing a 
hand-grenade, had been thrown into the carriage of 
the son of Prince CANINO, and wounded him and his 
sisters in several places. The wounds are not serious, 
however. The act is said to have had its origin in 
political motives. The individual who threw the 
hand-grenade has been arrested. He is a student re-
siding in the hospital of St. James, on the Corso. 
It is reported that an additional force of 20,000 
Austrians is to be sent into the Roman states. 
A letter from Naples, of the 9th, gives an account 
of an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which has just • 
occurred. According to this account, it was one of 
the most magnificent ever seen. 
From Naples we learn that about fifty more indi-
viduals of the higher classes have been arrested and 
thrown into prison, from which it is evident that the 
Papal and Neapolitan Government act on the same 
system. 
An attempt was made at Chalons, on the night of 
the 15th, to upset the railroad train on the Chalons 
and Dejon line, by means of a large stone placed 
across the rails. The locomotive passed over the 
stone, and continued its course without further inter-
ruption.

The insintents were severely chastised; 5,000 sheep 
were taken. 
The Procureur of the French Republic has ordered 
the seizure of a pamphlet by LEDRU Rams., entitled 
" The 24th Fevrier," as containing, first, excitement 
to hatred and contempt against the Government of the 
Republic ; secondly, exciting citizens one against 
the other ; and thirdly, insults against the person of 
the President of the Republic. 
General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS, commanding the

Last week some scoundrels introduced an infernal 
machine into the house of the cure of Villars (Ain), 
from which a slow match communicated to the out-

with only a severe fright.

THE RESURRECTION. 
BY G. NEEDHAM. 
i 
at the bush, when he called the Lord, the God of 
" But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed 
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Ja-
cob."—Luke 20:37. 
(Continued from our last.) 
At the first meeting of the eleven, after his resur-
rection, the historian tells us they were " affrighted, 
and supposed they had seen a spirit." " But he said 
unto them, Why are ye troubled, and why do doubts 
arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, 
that it is I myself : handle me and see ; for a spirit 
bath not flesh and bones, [a compound nature,] as ye 
see me have. And saying this, he showed them his 
hands and feet." 
Three of the senses have thus been exercised, viz., 
hearing, seeing, and feeling, but they still doubt and 
wonder. Ah ! they are not so credulous, as some 
learned men, of modern date, would have us think, 
after all. He will give them proofs that will last, 
till the heavens are rolled together as a scroll.

We come now in the third place to answer objec-
tions. 
3. Obj. How are the dead raised up--ivith what 
kind 
 a body do they come? Is it literal or spirit- 
ual ? :their own body or a new body ? 
Let me ask a question in return ? What is a body? 
Is it not something ? You used to see'and feel it, did 
yOu not? You knew then, it was a literality—a tan-
gible-substance, composed of parts united, -which 
union made it what you called a body? Is this your 
idea of :body? What then do you mean by spiritual? 
Can you have a body, and not have substance? That, 
is the very idea.. Paul anticipated you, by eighteen 
hundred years. " Thou fool ! that which thou sow-
est is not quickened except it die." Again, " It [the 
body] is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual 
body." Can anything be plainer than this? A body 
is sown, a body is raised. The difference is, at one 
time it is natural, at the other it is spiritual. All 
the time, the same body. • 
But still your difficulty is, that yousdo not undt 
stand the compound elements. You suppose the re-
lations of matter will be greatly changed. This I do 
not doubt. But it will be matter still. its ponder-
ability will not be destroyed—its solids will be solids 
still—its fluids, fluids still—its corporeality the same, 
and yet an incomprehensible divine power, has pos 
sessed it, which gives it victory over disease, over 
the elements, over water, over fire, over gravitation, 
over all incumbrances, over all impediments, over 
all disabilities. Length, breadth, height and depth, 
are nothing with it now—space is nothing, yet it is 
a body—the same wearisome, toilsome, fragile body, 
that once was, now glorious, strong, vigorous, mighty. 
Look at our Lord, whose weary feet pressed the 
burning sands of Gallilee, trode the rough hills of 
Judea, whose weary soul called for repose, amid the 
howling blasts, that swept Gennesaret, and palled 
with dismay the hearts of the sturdy boatman, who 
suffered hunger, and thirst and cold It is the 
day of his resurrection. Two of his poor disconso-
late disciples are going out a few miles from Jerusa-
lem, when a stranger approaches—walks and talks 
with them, till they arrive at their destination. 0, 
there is something so charming in his voice his man-
ner, his instructions, that they are captivated. They 
constrain him, he sits down to supper. The vail is 
rent and they recognize their Lord ! But where is 
he I Gone ! " Vanished out of their sight." They 
rise up in great haste and return to Jerusalem—seek 
the place of meeting, of the mourning ones, and be-
gin to relate their story, when, lo ! Jesus himself is 
there. All this is no more wonderful, than things 
that are transpiring every day, under the hand of God. 
But how did Jesus enter, you ask? Just as any 
other being would, for aught, I know. Their eyes, 
possibly, " were holden," like the two that went to 
Emmaus, so that they did not see him till he was 
fairly in their midst ; and I know not but their ears 
too.—But otherwise I know of no difference, in his 
entrance, from that of any other being, of substance 
like himself. The idea that he, a man of " flesh and 
bones," which he presented to his disciples, as evi-
dence that he was composed of substance, passed 
through the solid substance of a door, is entirely 
gratuitous and without the least shadow of founda-
tion, except in mere conjecture. The fact, that the 
disciples had met with closed doors, is mentioned for 
the purpose of showing their " fear of the Jews. — 
Suddenly the Lord appears in their midst. He might 
have entered, as before suggested, or they might have 
been engaged in earnest prayer or a discussion of 
the exciting scenes through which they had recently 
passed, and not observed the Saviour until he was 
fairly in their midst. All this might easily be effected, 
and if the doors were bolted, how easy for him, who 
* Christ was in fact a first fruit. I conceive that 
the plural is used in the text, because it is a quotation 
from the law of types, where the plural is necessarily 
used. 
is not the only aspect of it. True, but it is the only 
aspect of it that belongs to the Christless. It will 
be found to be a mistake to suppose that an exhibition 
of the plan of the inheritance then to be revealed 
will prove a gospel message to win then'. If the 
glory of that inheritance be truly exhibited, it has no 
attraction for the soul that is dead in trespasses and 
in sins. It is true that every man desires happiness, 
and the very words, "joy and rejoicing," are at-
tractive to all hearts. But then happiness is riot an 
abstraction—joy is not an independent state, or char-
acter. And if we deal honestly and rationally with 
men, we must tell them in what this happiness con-
sists, and out of what this joy arises. It is very pos-
sible to work up a picture of heaven, through which, 
by associating joy and rapture with a fanciful array. 
of circumstances, we may awaken admiration and de-
sire in the most sensual and depraved minds. But 
what attraction will be left for such minds when we 
tell them that the essence of that happiness is free-
dom from sin, which they roll as a sweet morsel un-
der their tongues—that the glory of that state is to 
be ever with the Lord, of whom they cannot bear a 
thought—and that the light of it is the Lamb, whom 
they daily trample beneath their feet? What will 
those whose hearts are enmity against God, and 
whose desires are also polluted, care for joy which is 
nothing else but holy love embracing its object, and 
holy desires satisfied with His presence ? 
But if it were otherwise, and if through a certain 
constitutional admiration of holiness, at which they 
never aim, they should listen without aversion to all 
we told them of the riches of the .glory of this in-
heritance in the saints, still the question would re- 
main to them, " How can it become mine?" " You 
speak of an inheritance ; but I am not an heir. The 
sons of God are heirs : and how may I, a child of 
wrath, become a son of God ?" The answer to this 
question, again, would be the gospel. 
Now let me ask my brethren, how do you answir 
such questions to anxious inquirers? Some of you, 
perhaps, tell them, " You must be born again—the 
Spirit of God must regenerate you." True, but that 
is not an answer to the question, " What must I do 
to be saved ?" Some of you, perhaps, say to the in-
quirer, " You must submit — yield — give up your 
heart to God. You must repent—dedicate yourself 
to God. You must take up your cross—take the first 
step, and God will meet you. Or, to be plain and 
practical, you must stand up in meeting and express 
your determination. You must humble yourself', and 
go to the altar, or the anxious seats. If you cannot 
speak, you must stand up. If you cannot stand up, 
hold up your hand, or make some sign that you want 
the prayers of God's people." And I have no doubt 
that in any or all of these ways the anxious may find 
peace, the heavy laden may get rid of their burdens., 
and those who'feel bad may soon feel better ; but is 
this the gospel? What in all this is the object of 
faith ? Believe what does such a convert ? 
The fact that anxious inquirers find peace, is too 
readily taken as evidence in favor of our teaching,—
and as proof that the Spirit of God owns it. And it 
is as readily taken as evidence of conversion by the 
inquirer, just as if there were no such thing as false 
peace, and as if a Roman Catholic priest could not 
adduce such evidence that the Spirit of God owns 
his penances and absolutions. This is the very teach-
ing which has filled our churches with those who 
have a name tel live while they are ole..2,,(1,anfl our land 
with old hopers, all calling themselves by the name 
of a Saviour in whom they see no beauty that they 
should desire him. What is there about such a way 
of salvation which has any relation to Christ'?—far 
less, that could make him appear the one altogether 
lovely. To them that believe, He is precious. But 
again the question arises, Believe what? 'What is 
there about such teaching that could awaken a long-
ing desire for His appearing as the one " whom hav- 
ing not seen ye love—in whom, though now ye see 
him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeak-
able and full of glory ?" Believing what ? 
There is but one true history of this love and long-
ing in any heart, and that is, " We love him because 
he first loved us." " He loved me." And how does 
that appear? "He gave himself for me." This 
will lead us to the gospel—to the defect of current 
preaching and experience—Christ crucified. This 
should be the grand theme of all our preaching. Wide 
as the field is, and varied as our topics are, the whole 
should have reference to this. " I determined," said 
Paul, " to know nothing among you, save Jesus Christ 
and him crucified." " The Scriptures," says Mat-
thew Henry, " are the circumference of faith, the 
round of which it walks, every point of which it 
touches, and the centre of it is Christ crucified." — 
Especially in dealing with sinners, is not this the 
very message we have to tell them—" That God so 
loved the world that lie gave his Son to be the propitia-
tion of our sins." Is not this our errand, to beseech 
them to be reconciled to God, for he bath made him 
to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be 
made the righteousness of God in him. 
I may, with your permission, resume this subject. 
Meanwhile, let me conclude with a suggestion, which 
may be useful as matter of self-examination : Indif-
ference or dislike to the doctrine of the second Ad-
vent is proof enough of the want of love to Christ, 
but satisfaction in the doctrine is not absolute proof 
of the possession of that love. It may become en-
deared to us as a matter of party strife—as a secta-
rian distinction ; or we may love it as selfish children 
long for the return of an indulgent parent for the gifts 
they expect him to bring. If I have formed a con-
ception of the inheritance suited to my taste, and have 
settled on some grounds that the inheritance is mine, 
then I may desire the event which shall put me in 
possession of it, though it would be a matter of in-
difference to me who should be the bearer of it. —
There may be a desire to see the land that is not far 
off, without any concern to see the King in his beauty.

the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born 
among many brethren." 
And again " Our citizenship is in heaven, from 
whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus 
Christ ; who shall change our vile body, that it may 
be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to 
the working whereby he is able to subdue all things 
unto himself." 
The same truth is enforced in 1 Cor. 15:51-54.—
Here the two classes are represented as being exalted 
to the same glorious state.- The one, shout victory 
over death ; the other, over the grave. Let it be re-
membered, whatever objections may arise, from short-
sightedness, or unbelief, we have these positive Scrip-
ture proofs, that as Christ, the " first fruits "* was, so 
his peoples, whether living or dead, will be. No 
matter if the atoms of the corrupted, are scattered 
over the surface of the earth, so wide that each atom 
is a mile from its fellow atom, lying side by side, or 
buried beneath other atoms, the Infinite Jehovah, will 
gather every one that is essential to constitute the re-
organized, and beautified being, in immortality. 
The same person must be raised,—the same matter, 
quickened by the same life giving Spirit, must con-
stitute the re-organization, or it is no resurrection. A 
new creation, is a new creation, not a resurrection of 
an old, decayed or fallen down, thing. Such is the 
root., and derivation of the original. 
The root is 't5".7)tot (from an old root Dra.the pri-
mary meaning of which is, " to set, place ause to 
stand."—GREENFIELD. 
To make to stand, set, to place. To be set up or 
upright, to stand upato rise up.—LIDDEL and SCOTT. 
If such testimony as the above, will not convince 
a man, neither would it, should God write it out, in 
blazing capitals, across the vault of heaven. He be- 
longs in the category with those who said, " What 
do we? for this man doeth many miracles ;" yet im- 
brued their hands in his blood. Having planted our 
feet on the foundation, thus laid by the Spirit of in-
spiration, we leave: the infidel to the risen Judge of 
quick and dead, and proceed to say- 
2. That in kind, those raised from corruption, will 
be like Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus, and all the changed 
living, at his coming. 
Enoch and Elijah were translated that they should 
not see death. They simply underwent that change 
which was necessary to make them immortal, retain-
ing all of their, corporeal nature, that was essential to 
constitute them rational and intelligent beings. Je- 
sus was raised without seeing corruption, and he 
gave most abundant proof of being the same identical 
Jesus that hung on the cross. The same matter that 
constituted his flesh and bones* when he hung on the 
cross, constituted them when he appeared to the- dis-
ciples, and " showed them his hands and his feet," 
save any particle that might have been exuberant.—
The living saints and those who may have very re-
cently died, before the coming of Christ will be 
changed and quickened as Enoch, Elijah and Jesus 
were, without crumbling to corruption, but they will 
be exactly in the same state, with those who have all 
dissolved to atoms, or seen corruption. The word 
mortal is applied to a living man, who yet has the 
seeds of death, in him ; and corruptible, to one who 
has fallen under the power of death, and gone into 
decay. The opposite words immortal and incorrupti-
ble, to the two glasses, who have been delivered from 
these states, and merged into the glorious liberty of 
the sons of God. 
" He who believeth in me, though he should die, 
yet will lie live : and whoever liveth and believeth in 
me, shall never die," said our Lord ; and says Paul, 
" The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with 
a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with 
the trump of God : and the dead in Christ shall rise 
first : then we which are alive and remain, shall be 
caught up together with them, in the clouds, to meet 
the Lord in the air." Here the living and dead saints 
are changed and raised at the same time—both equal-
ly blessed and honored. 
Our Lord tells us, also, that they that shall be ac-
counted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrec-
tion from the dead, will be equal to the angels. Both 
classes are equal to the angels. 
In Corinthians, 1st epistle 15 : 12-20, the apostle 
bases the conclusion, that all the dead in Christ would 
be raised, because He was raised. And in concluding 
the same, he tells us that Christ had " become the 
first fruit of them 'that slept." Here, is a beautiful 
allusion to the types of the law, which required the 
worshippers to bring of the first fruits of, their grain 
fields, as soon as they began to whiten up, for har-
vest, as a thank offering to God, which the priest 
waved before the Lord. 
This, was proof positive of what the harvest would 
be, being taken out of the same field. So in the res-
urrection. Jesus, the man of Calvary, was a speci-
men of the field. " For," says Paol," whom he did 
foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to 
The writer believes, too, that blood will be a con-
stituent element in the immortal state. That there is 
no testimony to the contrary, is manifest. From a 
comparison of the only passage that sustains the con-
trary view, with parallel passages, it will be seen 
that the apostle used a metaphor, to denote a mortal 
or corruptible man. Matt. 16 : 17—" Flesh and blood 
bath not revealed it." 24:22—" There should no flesh 
be saved." Luke 3:6—" All flesh shall see the sal-
vation." John 1:14—" The Word was made flesh." 
Eph. 6:12—" We wrestle not with flesh and blood." 
Gal. 1:16—" I conferred not with flesh and blood." 
MY DEAR BROTHER : —As one who, amid much 
unworthiness and multiplied imperfections, yet with 
some desire, looks for the glorious appearing of the 
great God our Saviour, I have not failed, as occasion 
appeared, to peruse the " Herald," from the time 
that I was accustomed to receive it amongst " our 
exchanges." It will not diminish the cordiality of 
the sympathy that ought to exist between us as heirs 
of a common hope, to say that I have often found in 
it sentiments which I cannot endorse. Farther, my 
own position is proof that I have not sympathized 
with the distinctive position of the Advent brethren. 
And now having given ground for a presumption in 
favor of my impartiality, let me say, that your col-
umns and my acquaintance with these brethren, so 
far as it goes, satisfy me that the churches they com-
pose are becoming the most Scripturally intelligent 
in the land. That intelligence was at first confined 
to a single department of Bible knowledge ; but those 
who were led to search for one class of passages, have 
evidently become in many cases Bible students in the 
best sense ; that is, they go to the Bible to learn all 
that it teaches, not merely to seek support for their 
own opinions. I anticipate that when the asperities 
of conflict on either side are smoothed down, these 
bodies, once reviled and scorned, will take place 
amongst the most vigorous and efficient in the Chris-
tian commonwealth. 
With such views of their prospective influence, it 
is a matter of interest to watch the direction their ef-
forts take, and to observe the spirit arid aim of writers 
and speakers among them. With all who have access 
to the public mind, whether through the eye or the 
ear, it should be a solemn question, " How can I im-
prove this for Christ?" But of all opportunities of 
this kind, the roost interesting and responsible is, 
doubtless, that of him who stands between the living 
and the dead, to proclaim the glad tidings of salva-
tion. To him it is a momentous question, " Where 
is the work I ought to declare?" I have read with 
satisfaction the essay of Bro. Brown on " The Gos-
pel." It is satisfactory to find such questions occu-
pying the attention of the brethren : and his essay it-
self contains many admirable sentiments. It is par-
ticularly gratifying to find views of preaching there 
advocated, which embrace the wide field of Scripture 
truth. Gospel preaching ranges over the whole ex-
tent of Christian doctrine, privilege, and practice.—
It is perfectly consistent with these views to claim 
that it is a duty of the ministry and the church, 
through every medium of communication, to bear, 
special testimony, at particular times, against current 
evils, and in favor of some neglected and perverted 
truth. But after all is said and done, the question 
remains, What is, formally and specifically, the glad 
news which we are to proclaim to the perishing ? —
What is that gospel of which our Lord declares, 
" He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and 
he that believeth not shall be damned ?" Believeth 
what? is a momentous question for preacher and 
hearer. 
It is necessary to be precise in our inquiries on this 
subject, for there is reason to fear that it is little un-
derstood by some who preach, and by multitudes who 
reckon themselves safe within the pale of our 
churches. In the preaching of the former there is a 
vagueness which offers no distinct object to the faith 
of their hearers, and in the experience of the latter 
it is difficult to find a trace of believing anything as 
the ground of their hope. This may appear censo- 
rious, but if it be incorrect, it can injure no one ; and 
if it he correct, it cannot affect any but those who are 
saying Peace to themselves, when there is none, or 
those of whom God complains, " They have healed 
also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly." 
The limit of this communication would forbid any 
attempt to exhibit the defectiveness of current preach-
ing and experience, even if we had sufficient mate-
rials ; but one proof that there is something defective 
in both, may be pointed out in the reluctance or dis-
trust with which many professed followers of Christ 
receive any allusion to his coming in glory. If Christ 
were the object of their faith, and were he conse-
quently seen as the chiefest among ten thousand, and 
altogether lovely, then, although they might not ar-
rive at a uniform conclusion regarding the time of 
his coming, they would all be looking and longing 
for the event itself. It would be a mistake, however, 
to conclude from this proof of the defect, that all that 
is wanting is to enforce the truths of the second Ad-
vent on their consideration. And here permit me to 
be frank regarding the error of some of the Advent 
brethren, who have persisted in preaching what they 
call " the gospel of the kingdom," as that which is 
the special message of divine love to a perishing 
world. If we would be faithful with unbelievers, 
we must indeed warn them of His coming with his 
mighty angels from heaven, and with flaming fire, 
taking vengeance on those who know not God, and 
who obey not the gospel, &c. But surely this is not 
the good news to sinners—it is only terror and dismay 
to the ungodly. Knowing the terror of the Lord, we 
persuade men ; but it is not, surely, by terror that we 
persuade them to be reconciled to God. After we 
bli h d thecertain: and the s eed of his 
have esta s e 
 y

coming, the question remains to the sinner, " How 
can I meet him in peace 'What must I do to be 
saved ?" and the answer to that question is the gospel. 
But it may be said, that the terror of his approach

THE ADVENT HERALD,

from the genealogy, recorded in Matt. 1st chapter, 
came unto his own, but they received him not, and 
said : " We will not have this man to reign over us." 
Their right to the kingdom is gone—is taken from 
them—and " will be given to a nation bringing forth 
the fruits thereof." That this cannot be a spiritual 
reign, see Acts 2:29, where Peter alludes to the oath 
God made to David, (Psa. 122:11,) that of the fruit 
of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise 
up Christ to sit on his throne." Thus Christ is to 
reign on David's throne, over literal subjects. The 
kingdom of God is to be established, in connection 
with his coming, " under the whole heaven." 
It is objected that John the Baptist (also the Sa-
viour) preached the kingdom of God at hand, and 
that this he would not have done, if the kingdom was 
not to he established until the second advent. As 
the Jews had an offer of the kingdom up to the time 
of their rejection of it, the message was necessary : 
" The kingdom of heaven is at hand." When Christ 
and his apostles first entered on the work of their 
ministry, their labors were confined entirely to the 
Jewish nation. " I am not sent," says Jesus to the 
Canaanitish woman, " but to the lost sheep of the 
house of Israel." When he commissioned his disci-
ples to go and preach, he commands them, saying : 
" Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any 
city of the Samaritans enter ye not : but go rather 
to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and as ye 
go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at 
hand." Did the Jews believe the message? No. 
Although the sixty-nine weeks were expired, and 
Christ fully answered to the description given by the 
prophets, which were read every Sabbath day in 
their synagogues, yet they fulfilled them in condemning 
him, and he therefore pronounces their fearful doom, 
because they knew not the time of their visitation. 
They might have known the time of that, and so may 
we know the time of his future visitation, if we will 
but take heed to the " sure word of prophecy ;" and 
if we are in the same state that the Jewish church 
were in — blind to these things—rejecting this last 
note of warning, " Fear God and give glory to him : 
for the hoar of his judgment is come !"—we shall 
receive no more favor at his hand, than did that 
" stiff-necked and rebellious people." God will 
have his word honored, and believed. 
When Christ commissioned his disciples just prior 
to his ascension, the message delivered to them was : 
" Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel. to 
every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, 
shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be 
damned." The subject of the kingdom formed a 
very essential part of the gospel, but it was preached 
in connection with the future advent of the Lord. 
The prayer must be breathed into the ear of Jehovah 
for centuries : " Thy kingdom come ; Thy will be 
done in earth as it is done in heaven !" Like holy 
incense has this petition gone up before the tnrone, 
and God will avenge his elect speedily. 
Many object that " Jesus told his disciples that the 
kingdom of God was within them, therefore it must 
be a spiritual kingdom, set up in a man's heart, 
when he is converted. This was not said to the dis-
ciples.—See Luke 17:20. " And when he was de-
manded of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God 
should come, he answered them, and said : The 
kingdom of God cometh not with observation [or out-
ward show, as the margin reads] ; neither shall they 
say, Lo here! or, Lo there ! for behold, the kingdom 
of God is within you." Was it within these wick-
ed Pharisees! No one believes that ; yet he spake 
to them. The Saviour simply teaches the sudden-
ness of its coming. The Pharisees overlooked those 
prophecies which refer to Christ's humiliation, and 
had their eye on those which alluded to his future 
coming in glory. Hence, when he appeared among 
them, so lowly, followed by a few humble fishermen, 
they would not believe him to be the Messiah. They 
looked for a kingdom to be established with great 
pomp and splendor, and therefore asked, probably de-
riding his poverty and humility, when the kingdom 
of which lie spake would appear? He tells them it 
will not come with outward show, but when estab-
lished it would come suddenly—unexpectedly—giv-
ing no opportunity for them to say, " Lo here !" or, 
" Lo there !" He then turns to his disciples, and 
says to them : " The days will come when ye will 
desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye 
shall not see it. And they shall say to you : See 
here ! or, See there ! but go not after them. . . For 
as the lightning that lighteneth out of one part from 
under heaven shineth to the other part under heaven, 
so shall also the Son of man be in his day." 
It is recorded in Matt. 13:41 that the " Son of man 
shall send forth his angels, and gather out of his 
kingdom all things that offend, and them which do 
iniquity." Therefore, the objector says, Christ 
must now have a kingdom on the earth, in which is a 
mixture of both good and bad. By referring to 
Scripture we find that the phrase kingdom of God —
kingdom of heaven—frequently applies to only one 
element of the kingdom, as in Lnke 10:12, where it 
refers to the King ; Matt 13:3-8, where it refers to 
the Son of man promulgating his gospel ; v. 24 refers 
to the children produced thereby ; v. 44 to the terri-
tory purchased for them, &c. When the end of the 
present dispensation comes, everything which defileth 
will be cleared out of the earth, and it will then ba 
fitted for the full establishment of the kingdom of 
God. In a more extended sense the term kingdom 
may be used in the text, for this takes place after the 
sounding of the seventh trumpet, at which time the 
kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our 
Lord ; and then will he destroy the wicked nations—
" rule them with a rod of iron, and dash them in 
pieces like a potter's vessel ;" and then shall the 
righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of 
their Father. 
It is objected, " The kingdom of heaven suffereth 
violence, and the violent take it by force." We un-
derstand the kingdom of heaven here refers to the 
king, and subjects of the kingdom. Christ suffered 
violence, and the violent took him by force, and com-
pelled him to be crucified. More than fifty millions 
of the saints were taken by the violent Papists, and 
put to death. 
Another objection is founded on Col. 1:13, where 
the apostle speaks of being translated into the king-
dom of God's dear Son. This can be only by faith. 
In Dan. 2d we have the dream of the Babylonian 
monarch, explained by the Hebrew captive, Daniel. 
This dream was given by God, to show the king 
" what should be in the latter days." He beholds a 
mighty and terrible image, composed of gold, silver, 
brass, iron, and potter's clay. These shadowed forth 
the empires of the world. There we read that the 
God of heaven will set up a kingdom, which shall 
never be destroyed ; and the kingdom shall not be 
left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and 
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for-
ever. 
In the 7th chapter the kingdoms are presented 
under the symbols of beasts. 
The angel says to Daniel, when explaining the 
vision : " These great beasts are four kings which 
shall arise out of the earth." "The fourth beast 
shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which 
shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour 
the whole earth," &c. " And the ten horns of this 
kingdom are ten kings that shall arise : and another 
shall arise after them [the ' little horn'], and he shall 
be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three 
kings. And he shall speak great words against the 
Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most 
High, and think to change times and laws : and they 
shall be given into his hand until a time, times, and 
a dividing of time." " But the judgment shall 'sit, 
[upon this power,] and they shall take away his do-
minion, to consume and to destroy unto the end." 
We are brought down the stream of prophecy until 
we pass the four great monarchies of earth—the di-
vision of the fourth into ten—the rise of the Papacy 
—its exalted state, and its abasement : what does the 
prophet next behold 1 The establishment of the 
fifth universal monarchy on the territory occupied by 
the previous ones : " under the whole heaven."— 
This is next in order : " And the kingdom and do-
minion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the 
whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the 
saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an ever-
lasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and 
obey hioi." 
In Rev. 11:15 we find that it is not till the sound-
ing of the seventh trumpet that the kingdoms of this 
world become the kingdom of our Lord and his 
Christ, and he is to reign forever and ever. The 
seventh is the last trump ; and Paul says that then 
the dead will be raised. This synchronizes with 
what that same apostle says to Timothy (4:1) : " I 
charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, 
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his ap-
pearing and his kingdom," &c. 
It is when the Son of man comes in his power, 
and sits on the throne of glory, and all nations are 
gathered before him, that he says to those on his right 
hand, " Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the 
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the 
world."—Matt. 25:31-34. 
In Luke 19:11, 27, Jesus speaks a parable to his 
disciples, because they thought that the kingdom of 
God would immediately appear, and he undeceives 
them : " A certain nobleman went into a far coun-
try, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 
And he cal/M Ills ten servants unto him, and deliv-
ered unto them ten pounds, and said unto them, Oc-
cupy till I come." Does not the nobleman represent 
Christ? Has he not gone to the Father, to receive 
for himself a kingdom, and to return? Does not this 
synchronize with what Daniel says : " I saw in the 
night visions, and behold, one like the Son of man 
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the 
Ancient of days, and they brought him near before 
And there was given him dominion, and glo-
ry, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and lan-
guages should serve him : his dominion is an ever-
lasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and 
his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."—
Dan. 7:14. 
Do not the servants represent the church of Christ, 
and the talents, the abilities given them? Are they 
not required to occupy, until he, " having received 
the kingdom, returns" to them again? Has he yet 
received it? 
In John 18:36, Jesus says to Pilate, " My kingdom 
is not of this world : if my kingdom were of this 
world, then would my servants fight, that I should 
not be delivered to the Jews." In Paul's letter to 
Timothy, as already quoted, he says that the " Lord 
Jesus Christ will judge the world at his appearing 
and his kingdom." 
James asks, " Hath not God chosen the poor of 
this world, ric in faith, heirs of the kingdom, which 
he hath promised to those who love him?"—James 
2:5. Peter in his second epistle (1:11), after speak-
ing of certain things which we ought to do, says : 
" For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you 
abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord 
and Saviour Jesus Christ." That this kingdom is 
yet future is clearly shown, from the fact that Christ 
is heir to David's throne, which, being overthrown, 
he does not possess. The angel told Mary that her 
son should be great, and should be called the Son of 
the Highest ; that the Lord God would give to him 
the throne of his father David ; and that he should 
reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his 
kingdom there should be no end.—Luke 1:32, 33. 
As his kingdom is to have no end, it must exist in 
the immortal age. In 2 Sam. 7:16 we find a prom-
ise that David's throne shall be established forever. 
In Psa. 69:20-45, are promises made to David which 
can have reference to no other than Christ himself. 
The subjugation of his enemies ; his exalted state ; 
the immortality of his seed, and eternity of his 
throne, with its present abasement, are all brought to 
view. In Isa. 7:6, 7, speaking of Christ and the ti-
tles given him, the prophet says, " Of the increase 
of his government and peace there shall be no end, 
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom," 
&c. In Jer. 33 : 17 we find a promise that David 
shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of Is-
rael. This cannot refer to the present world, for 
that throne has been vacated ever since Zedekiah, the 
last prince of Israel, sat upon it. God then said, 
" Remove the diadem, and take off the crown ; this 
shall not be the same : exalt him that is low, amid 
abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, 
overturn it ; and it shall be no more, until he come 
whose right it is, and I will give it him."—Ezek.

ings which are produced by believing God's truth.—
God's truths, when received in the heart, become 
" quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 
sword," and immediate action follows. 
Now I have been a believer in the immediate ad-
vent of the Saviour for some eight years past, but I 
acknowledge that I have at times been too much of 
an unbelieving believer ; yet I have held on to this 
hope as the only one brought to view in the gospel. 
[Note 1.] But the realities of these things never 
took such a hold upon me as at the present. 
I have now to say, if the Advent movement in the 
few years past, and our calculations, based upon the 
prophetic numbers, chronology, and the signs of the 
times, have been correct, or nearly so, then are we 
near being delivered, and our hope consummated. — 
On nothing more strongly have we depended, than on 
the fulfilment of the 2300 days (years) of Dan. 8:14. 
',The ground has been taken that the 70 weeks, or 490 
years, of Dan. 9 : 24-27, commenced with the 2300 
days. It was also argued that these 70 weeks ended 
at the crucifixion of our Lord, in A. D. 33, and that 
consequently 1810 years from that time the 2300 days 
would run out, the sanctuary would be cleansed, and 
our hope consummated. Other prophetic numbers, 
with the chronology and signs of the times, seeming-
ly concurring, they who had the argument believed 
that the personal advent of the Saviour to our world 
would take place about 1843. Now were we right, 
or were we wrong, in thus believing? This being 
our faith, based upon the sure word of prophecy, we 
were bound to believe, arid believing, to declare the 
same to our fellow men, according to the directions 
to God's in Ezek. 33d. [Note 2.] A great move 
was, therefore, the result : hundreds, yea, thousands 
heard and submitted to God, and prepared for that 
great day. The time came, yea, passed, but no reve-
lation of the Son of God from heaven took place. —
We were immediately taxed with being " false 
prophets." The world triumphed, while the saints 
mourned ; and the funeral sermon of " Millerism " 
was preached by many of the " peace and safety " 
watchmen of the day. There we were in a perfect 
quandary. Some ran into the " shut door ;" others 
gave it up, and went to their farms, merchandise, &c.; 
while a few stood still to see the salvation of God.—
Since that time, the general preaching on time has 
been, " nigh, even at the door." 
But how long is " nigh, even at the doors," to con-
tinue? for it must have an end. I answer, I believe 
this year, even this spring, the vision will speak and 
not lie. That Hab. 2 : 1 refers to this event, I am 
satisfied from Heb. 10 : 35-38 ; and these compared 
with Mat. 25:1-13 makes it more clear. A time of 
tarrying there was to come, and our eyes were with-
holden, that God's word might be fulfilled. I am now 
satisfied that the cross was at A. D. 33, for here the 
greatest amount of evidence centres ; and that the 
crucifixion was at the end of the 69 weeks, or 483 
years from the going forth of the commandment. See 
Dan. 9 : 25, 26. In the 26th verse it reads, " And 
after three-score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut 
off," including the 7 previously mentioned weeks, 
making 69 weeks, or 483 years. [Note 3.] Now, 
observe what Paul says : in Heb. 2d, speaking of the 
" great salvation," and contrasting it with the word 
spoken by angels,—the latter I understand the first 
covenant, the former, the new covenant,—he says : 
" Which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, 
and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him." 
Again, when did the old covenant cease, and the new 
begin? I answer, at the cross. Did Jesus begin to 
preach the new covenant before it was made ? As-
suredly not. Then Paul's declaration, " 'Which at 
the first began to be spoken by the Lord," must have 
had its fulfilment during the forty days from the res-
urrection of our Lord to his ascension, during which 
days " he spake of the things pertaining to the king-
dom of God."—Acts 1:3. After his ascension, the 
apostles received the Holy Ghost, and became his 
witnesses, first in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and in 
Samaria, and then secondly unto the uttermost parts 
of the earth.—v. 8. Now observe the harmony by 
placing the cross according to our common polyglott 
Bibles, at A.D. 33, and at the end of the 69 weeks or

REMARKS AND NOTES. 
With the position of Bro. S., in itself with his 
feelings and desire to benefit others — we heartily 
sympathize. This is the proper and only Scriptural 
position. But a good position is never strengthened, 
or made more desirable, by what may be called evi-
dence, or argument in its favor, that is no evidence, 
no argument. We see nothing worthy the name of 
argument in any attempt to fix a definite point of 
time in the future for the termination of the prophetic 
periods. That these periods may terminate at the 
points looked to, we readily admit. That any evi-
dence has been produced to warrant a particular ex-
pectation of it, such as we had in '43, '44, or '46 ; 
or any more conclusion than might be brought in fa-
vor of any year within seven years in the future, we 
do not admit. Still, Bro. S. shall have " the privi-
lege " of doing his " whole duty" to his friends. 
If the crucifixion was in A. D. 33, as the 7th year 
of ARTAXERXES is fixed in in. c. 456-7, by the con-
current agreement of more than twenty eclipses, it 
follows that if only sixty-nine weeks were ended at 
the crucifixion, that those sixty-nine weeks, if reck-
oned from the 7th of ARTAXERXES, contained 490 
years; and if reckoned from the 20th, only 477 years. 
But if only the sixty-nine weeks ended at the cruci-
fixion, it follows that there was no predicted time to 
have been fulfilled when the SAVIOUR, near his bap-
tism, declared the TIME TO BE FULFILLED—three and 
a-half years before his crucifixion. 
The very longest date to which 1817 years—from 
April 3d, A. D. 33—can be extended, is the 3d of April 
in the coming week, the passing of which would dem-
onstrate the fallacy of all arguments based on the sup-
position of only sixty-nine weeks ending at the former 
date. 
Note 1. — No doubt it is the general fault of all 
men, even the best, to be too " unbelieving." But 
we doubt if there is any one who has heard Bro. S. 
preach, or is acquainted with his manner of life, who 
will have blame to put to his account, if found un-
prepared, should the LORD come at any time. Per-
haps Bro. S. would express what Ire intended if he 
had said unfeeling, or unexcited; instead of " unbe-
lieving believer." But against such is there any 
law ? 
Note 2. —Yes. In this sense we were " right." 
But it never was right to consider, or to declare, that 
any kind or amount of 'feeling was evidence that we 
were right," or correct, in our calculations. As 
to the events expected, and that these events would 
take place at the termination of the periods adduced, 
our faith was " based on the sure word of prophe-
cy." But as to the dates for the commencement of 
the periods, we had not that " word." So Mr. MII.,-
LER always stated it ; so we now must state. 
Note 3.—It may be so. But our being " satisfied 
that it is so, or our desiring it to be so, is no proof at 
all. And if "the crucifixion was at the end of the 
sixty-nine weeks, or 483 years," could Messiah have 
been cut off " after the sixty-nine weeks, or 483 
years?" 
Note 4.—We could never feel " compelled from 
this evidence to believe in 1850 as the time when the 
vision will speak," by its actual fulfilment, though 
we are compelled to expect it at all times. If the be-
lieving Jews did not preach, in A. D. 41, save "to 
Jews only," there certainly can be no " evidence " 
that the week for confirming the covenant to DANIEL'S 
people ended in A. D. 40. Where is the error? in

the dates, or in the application of the prophecy?-
Besides, there is a question which deserves some 
attention, before those you ask and " answer," on the 
close of the old, and beginning of the new covenant. 
-It is this : " Did the old covenant cease " before 
the new covenant began? 
Once more. If there is any authority for com-
mencing the " seven times" so as to correspond with 
1850 for their termination, why has it never been 
presented ? 
Finally. All may be fulfilled before this genera-
tion passes away, even if it should not he fulfilled in 
1850. Without any of "this evidence," we expect 
and pray that our hope may be realized this year. 
" Even so come, Lord JESUS, and come quickly."

BOSTON, MARCH 30, 1850. 
WE are not more impressed by the stirring and exciting events 
now transpiring on the Continent of Europe, than we are by the 
slow and almost imperceptible changes which are creeping over the 
face of affairs in Great Britain and her colonies. The British people 
are proverbial for their slowness in receiving new ideas, and for the 
tenacity with which they cling to old ones, even when they have be-
come entirely threadbare, and of no possible use, except to clog, 
and fetter, and break down. Great Britain may be regarded as the 
great fly-wheel of Europe, imparting steadiness to the whole com-
plicated machinery of the various governments among which she 
stands foremost ; and though the bolts, cranks, and levers may split 
the ear with jars and confusion, the whole moves on, nevertheless, 
steadied by that which has great inherent power, and evenness of 
motion. A pin may be removed from a portion of machinery, and 
thereby thwart the design of its conductor, and yet action may be 
kept up, without much perceptible difference to the' ye. But when 
the fly-wheel breaks, or is displaced, we are at once conscious that 
something has occurred which must be remedied, in order to restore 
the wonted harmony. 
Although the various governments of Europe have exhibited as-
pects of the most interesting character, challenging consideration by 
their suddenness and prominence, we have not been unmindful of 
that stream which is slowly, almost silently, creeping into the entire 
framework of British society, and which will, like leaven, leaven 
the whole lump. We say the whole framework of British society, 
because the crown, the mitre, and the sword are so interwoven, as 
scarcely to admit of separation, the whole surrounded and sup- 
ported by a stupendous aristocracy, as relentless as imperious and 
unyielding. Hence we see, that in England reformatory measures 
are not limited to one class, comprising many or few species, but to 
all classes-moral, social, and political-branching off into numerous 
ramifications. 
The abuses that have crept into the ecclesiastical system of Eng 
land-inseparable, we conceive, from its connection with the State- 
have become so patent to the eyes of all who have eyes to see, that 
an entire change is demanded, clamorously by some, and silently-
but no less decidedly because silently-by others. The combined as- 
saults of Nonconformists in England have not been in vain ; inces- 
sant and well-directed blows have awakened some, who appear to 
have regarded themselves so entrenched behind the walls of eccle- 
siastical privilege, as to be invulnerable to successful attack, and 
they begin to buckle on their armor, and furbish their weapons, evi-
dently feeling that something is out of joint, and that it will remain 
so, unless they themselves right it. 
A Mr. Horsman, member of Parliament, has become the organ of 
those who question the right of a body of men called bishops, to ex- 
tract such immense sums from the poor as they do, uuder the plea 
that such sums are the proper revenue of the church, and must be 
expended for the support of the church-i. e., the bishops. Mr. Hors- 
man has introduced a bill into Parliament, making certain Mgt-dries 
and accusations, showing systematic mismanagement, (if such an 
expression may be used,) and calling for a more just administration 
of the monetary affairs of the Establishment. Had a bomb-shell 
fallen in their midst, the bishops, and those interested in the peddling 
of church benefices, could not have shown greater consternation, 
nor moved with more agility. For the hundredth time the people are 
informed that the bishops are the most humble, pious, and liberal 
men in existence, and that if each of their annual incomes would 
support from thirty to one hundred ministers in plenty, it was no 
reason that they should not have what belonged to them. 
These matters have been so often made the subject of Parlia-
mentary inquiry, that the present movement would possess no pe- 
culiar significance, were it not that the people are canvassing the 
subject outside of the walls of Parliament. Public attention is be-
coming fixed on the Church and State system, and the right of the 
Government to drain the pockets of the people of their scanty earn- 
ings, in order that the officials of the church may live in opulence, is 
seriously questioned. When such a feeling becomes the seated con- 
viction of the great body of the people, and it is understood that the 
law which supports so great a fraud on right and justice, can be 
nullified, it will be. 
We learn by the last arrival, that Mr. BICKERSTETH, whose name 
is familiar to our readers, is no more. Few ministers of the present 
day had so wide-spread a reputation as had Mr. Bickersteth, and 
none had one more deserved. By Churchmen and Dissenters he 
was equally esteemed ; by the former, not only from the purity of 
his character simply, but from the honor which he reflected on the 
ministry, among whom he was a bright and shining light ; and by 
the latter, because he possessed that charity, which embraced in the 
arms of Christian fellowship all, of whatever name, who loved the 
Lord in sincerity. When in London, we became acquainted with 
Mr. Bickersteth, and had conversation with him on several occa-
sions, and can bear witness to the amenity of his manners, and to 
his courteous and Christian-like deportment. He believed in the 
near pre-millennial advent of Christ, and has written much on that 
subject. His writings on devotional subjects are valuable, and form 
a complete index to the character of their author-eminently practi-
cal, fervid, and eloquent. 
The case of Mr. Gorham (to which we adverted two weeks since,) 
has produced quite a shaking among the " dry bones" of the Pusey-
ite portion of the Church. Anticipating the reversion of the Bishop 
of Exeter's decision, and the subsequent affirmation of it in the 
Arches Court, by the Privy Council, a movement is made, headed 
by the notable Dr. Pusey, for the purpose of taking the power of 
deciding ecclesiastical questions out of the hands of mere civilians, 
and placing it where it properly belongs-in the church. This we 
believe to be right ; and were there not a strong pressure from with-
out, such a movement would not have been made. How her Ma-
jesty's ministers relish the idea of yielding up their right of pro-
nouncing ultimate decisions in church matters, remains to be seen. 
An advertisement in a London paper reads thus " Next presenta-
tion to a sinecure provincial rectory, producing £252 41260 per an-
num, to be sold." Mark, it is a sinecure, and no mistake. The in-
ducements to buy are six, and to a younger son of some noble lord, 
who is too poor to live as his extravagance would dictate, ashamed 
to beg, and too proud to work, we must confess they are tempting, 
and we do not see how they can be resisted. The first inducement 
is, the " present incumbent aged 72." Evidently not long to live-his 
shoes will be empty before long. 2d. " No pauper population." 3d. 
" No poor rates"-no drawback on the revenue-it's a clear nett. 
Tire last three inducements are the climax to this living, and is ra-
ther an improvement on anything we have ever before seen. 4th. 
" No church." 5th. " No glebe." 6th. "No duty. For terms, ap-
ply," &C. 
The expelled Wesleyan ministers are still holding large gatherings 
in various parts of England, at all of which decided sympathy is ex-
cited in their favor. Strong resolutions are adopted, condemnatory 
of the proceedings of the Conference, and demanding an entire re-
frorm in the matters coinplainedmf. So fax have the arbitrary and tys 
r Minkel acts of the Conference extended, that most exemplary min- 
isters, of many years standing, have been expelled, for no other rea-
son than that they had dared to go and hear them preach, or had in-
vited them to their houses. 
THE TRIAL OF PROF. WEBSTER.-The examination of the wit-
nesses was brought to a close at noon this day, Wednesday. It will 
be seen that the testimony, although circumstantial, is of the most 
positive character. The testimony of every witness has been so di-
rect, unequivocal, and harmonious, each forming a link in a con-
nected chain of evidence, as to be almost overwhelming. It seems 
to be proved-1. That the remains of a human body were found in 
and about the private apartments of Dr. Weuster. 2. That these 
remains were not used for the ordinary purposes of dissection. 3 
That they were the remains of Dr. Parkman. 4. That they were 
placed where they were found for concealment. 5. That the pris-
oner had business transactions with Dr. Parkman, which were ap-
proaching a crisis that would be humiliating and injurious to the ac-
cused. 6. That the handwriting of certain anonymous letters, sent 
to the City Marshal about the time of Dr. Parkxnan's disappearance, 
apparently endeavoring to direct suspicion in various directions, 
was, in all probability, that of the accused. And 7. That Dr. Park-
man was actually seen in the College on the day referred to, be-
tween the hours of one and two. The last witness examined, who 
was unknown to the prosecuting Attorney until the day before his 
examination, testified, that having business at the College on the 
23d of Nov., he called there, and saw Dr. Parkman coining up stairs 
as he was going down. 
Much testimony has been adduced, concerning the conduct of the 
prisoner prior and at the time he was suspected. Fish-hooks, sup-
posed to be designed for grapples, attached to twine, were found in 
the prisoner's apartment, mad a piece of twine, corresponding with 
that on the hooks, was found tied round a portion of the remains 
embedded in tan in the tea theft. A hardware dealer has identified 
the fish-hooks, and has no doubt the prisoner was the man who 
bought them at his store the.Tuesday after the disappearance of Dr. 
Parkman. Two important facts we should have stated before, viz., 
three or four days before the disappearance of Dr. Parkman, the ac-
cused had made particular inquiries of Mr. Littlefield, the janitor of 
the college, respecting the vault under the college, how it was built, 
how access to it was had, &c., and he waeapprised of the difficult 
nature of getting at it. And the day before the disappearance, Dr. 
W. asked Mr. Littlefield to procure him a pint of blood, as he wanted 
it to make some experiment. For some accidental cause, the blood 
was not obtained. 
Thus far the prisoner has preserved the composure exhibited in his 
first appearance at trial, betraying no emotion except intone or two 
instances. While one witness,who was rather quaint in his manner, 
was giving in his testimony, he was seen to smile. It can hardly be 
told, at this time, on what grounds the defence will be based, as the 
prisoner's counsel have dropped nothing to indicate the course they 
mean to take. The testimony for the prosecution is of such a char-
acter, as almost to close up every avenue to anything like a success-
ful defence. We learn, however, that about forty witnesses in be-
half of the prisoner are to be examined ; and it is alike the dictate 
of justice and humanity, that we should come to no ultimate conclu-
sion until they have testified. 
SUMMARY. 
The Slavery excitement in Congress has diminished very sensibly 
within the last two weeks.. The " chivalry " have condescended to 
devote a little attention to the matter-of-fact business of dollars and 
cents, without which the wheels of government could not go round 
without great difficulty. Though the slavery question is paramount 
to all others, yet there seems to be a disposition to attend to other 
matters. Bills have been introduced to admit California as she pre- 
sents herself, and to give territorial governments to New Mexico 
and Deseret, without embodying the Proviso. It is believed that 
the Senate would reject the Proviso ; whether it 'would meet the 
same fate in the House, public opinion is divided. 
Mr. Calhoun has been so ill the last week, that it was not expected 
that he would survive many hours. He is gaining strength. 
The Governor of Pennsylvania sent to the Legislature of that State 
on the 22d, the eesolutions transmitted to him from the Legislattlreee 
of Virginia and Georgia, complaining of the alledged aggressions of 
the North, with a denial of their truth, and a protest against their 
injustice. 
At Cottage Inn, Wis., a man named Hurlburt, in a fit of drunken-
ness, drove his wife out of doors, and attempted an outrage upon his 
daughter. She resisted and attempted to get out of his way ; he fol-
lowed her, threatening her with a large kege. In her flight, she 
caught up an axe, and swung it before her, and as the monster rushed 
towards her, it fell on his neck, and nearly severed his head from his 
shoulders. 
Mitchell Andrews received twenty lashes in Hillsboro', N. C., for 
stealing a bee-gum with its contents. 
The elephant Columbus, which killed its keeper about two years 
ago in Philadelphia, had one of his vicious fits on Saturday, when he 
seized his keeper, and threw him a distance of fifteen feet, but fortu-
nately without doing him any injury. 
Alpheus Miller, a liquor merchant in Auburn, N. Y., was chal-
lenged by an individual to test their respective powers of drinking 
liquor, when Miller fell a victim to his folly. His competitor escaped 
by vomiting the liquor from his stomach ere it could take effect. 
Fortunato Gatti, who assassinated the French soldier in Rome, 
was shot on the 17th, on the Piazza del Popelo, in presence of 10,0(70 
people. He confessed his crime, and expressed his sorrow for it. 
John Chandler, aged 104 years, died in Jacksonville, Ala., on the 
13th ult. He participated in the battles of Eutaw, Camden, and 
Cowpens, in the Revolution. 
The steamer Troy, from Sandusky, and other ports on Lake Erie, 
was blown up by the explosion of her boiler, as she was entering the 
Niagara river. The fore part of the boat was blown to pieces, and 
many of the passengers and crew were thrown overboard, and 
drowned or scalded to death. Seven passeegers acid five of the 
crew were picked up dead. Several bodies were swept off by the 
current, among them were some women. There were about forty 
passengers on board.

In writing to this office, let everything of a business nature be 
put on a part of the sheet by itself, or on a separate sheet, not to be 
mixed up with other matters. 
Orders for publications should be headed " Order," and the 
names and number of each work wanted should be specified on a 
line devoted to it. This will avoid confusion and mistakes. 
Communications for the Herald should be written with care, in 
a legible hand, carefully punctuated, and headed, " For the Herald." 
The writing should not be crowded, nor the lines be too near to-
gether. When they are thus, they are laid aside unread. Before 
being sent, they should be carefully re-read, and all superfluous 
words, tautological remarks and disconnected and illogical sen-
tences omitted. 
Everything of a private nature should be headed "Private." 
In sending names of new subscribers, or money for subscrip-
tions, let the name and Post-office address (i. e., the town, county, 
and state,) be distinctly given. Between the name and the address, 
a comma (,) should always be inserted, that it may be seen what per-
tains to the name, and what to the address. Where more than one 
subscriber is referred to, let the business of each one constitute a 
paragraph by itself. 
Let everything be stated explicitly, and in as few words as will 
give a clear expression of the writer's meaning. 
By complying with these directions, we shall be saved much per-

ANOTHER WORD IN REFERENCE TO THIS OFFICE.-We have 
just completed a balance-shvet of the outstanding accounts for books 
and tracts. We find a balance due this office of $3133 83. A portion 
of this includes unsold books, but the greater part is really due. It 
is necessary that those having money on hand-even should the sum 
be not large-should remit at once, as we have important obligations 
to meet in a short time. The above sum has no reference to the 
accounts of the Herald. There are many who owe from $3 to $4 on 
that, which ought to be paid. We do not see why such should so 
neglect their accounts. Of course we do not allude to those who 
have written to us on the subject.

" The third series [of maps] to which the attention of your com-
mittee was drawn, was that of Mr. Sylvester Bliss. ... , These were 
finely engraved and elegantly finished." The Geography " appears 
to your committee to be what it professes, a complete aualysis of 
the science, and admirably adapted to the use of schools." 
" The chief points of excellence in this series, are the judicious se-
lection and arrangement of topics, presenting both the analysis and 
eynthesis of the science, in a most concise and intelligible manner. 
This series, as a whole, [the Geography and Maps,] the committee 
regard as very complete and satisfactory, and quite suitable for the 
use of the common schools of the State, into many of which it is al- 
ready introduced."-Senate Report, No. 57. [mar. 16.]

ASTHMA and CONSUMPTION 
HIS truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the lungs and throat, 
has become the chief reliance of the afflicted, as it is the most cer-
in cure known for the above complaints. While it is a powerful 
medial ascent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of 
nsumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one of the mildest and 
oat agreeable family medicines for common coughs and colds. Bend 
low the opinion of men who are known to the world, and the world 
spect their opinions. 
FROM PROF. HITCHCOCK. 
".James C. Ayer-Sir I have used your Cherry Pectoral' in my 
n case of deep-seated Bronchitis, tied am satisfied from its cheini-
1 constitution that it is an admirable compound for the relief' of la-
igen and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior 
erecter ran be of' any service, you are at liberty to use it as you 
ink proper. 
EDWARD HITCHCOCK, LL. 13.1 
Pres't of Amherst College. 
From the "London Lancet." 
" Ayer's ' Cherry Pectoral' is one of the most valuable prepare-
ns that has fallen under our notice. After a careful examination, 
e do not hesitate to say, we have a large appreciation of its merits, 
d the fullest confidence in its usefulness for coughs and lung coin-
aints." 
From Dr. Brewster, of Windham Co,. Ct. 
" Dr. J. C. Ayer-Dear Sir : I inclose you a certificate from Mrs. 
atherine K. Cady, a highly'respectable lady of this village, wife of 
Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff, Windham Co., Ct. The cure in her 
se was very prompt, and has attracted general attention. 
W. A. BREWSTER, M. D. 
"This may certify, that I was afflicted wills a very severe cough in 
e winter of '47-8, which threatened to terminate in consumption. 
had tried many, medicines in vain, and was cured by_the use of 
flyer's Cherry Pectoral.'

"Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell-Dear Sir : Feeling under obligations to 
u for the restoration of my health, I send you a report of my case, 
which you are at liberty to publish for the benefit of others. Last 
utumn I took a bad cold, accompanied by a severe cough, mid made 
se of many medicines without obtaining relief. I was obliged to 
ive up business, frequently raised blood, amid could get no sleep at 
ight. A friend gave me a bottle of your ' Cherry Pectoral,' the 
se of which I immediately commenced according to directions. I 
aye just purchased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now 
seep well, my cough has ceased, and ail by the use of your valuable 
medicine. E. S. STONE, A. St., Principal Mt. Hope 'Seminary." .

DR. PEIRCE'S FAMILY MEDICINES. 
ndian Restorative Bitters, Nos. 1 and 2, and Spike-
nard and Dandelion Syrup, 
repared by GEORGE PEIRCE, corner of Moody and Austin streets, 
Lowell, Mass. 
THESE are put up in bottles in a portable form, and marked No. 
1, and No. 2. No.1 is an active and powerful, but easy physic. 
n its operation it is almost magical. It purges without pain, and, 
unlike other cathartics, does not leave the bowels in a costive state. 
umerous testimonials might be given in their favor, but one will 
uffice for the present. 
From A. Hale, Charlestown, Mass. 
Mr. Peirce-Dear Sir : Having been somewhat indisposed for a 
onsiderable length of time, and having had occasion to use various 
medical preparations, in the form of pills, powders, syrups, &c., un-
il I had lost nearly all coefidence in them-and having also Blade 
use of several bottles of your No. 1 Bitters and Syrup, for myself and 
wilily, 1 can, readily secommend them as the bait I have ever used 
or the purpose for which they are designed. The Bitters, as an ape-
tent, 1 consider the best I have ever used, being mild and thorough 
n their operation, without any perceptible prostration of the sys- 
em. The Syrup
. 
 is excellent to purify the blood, by expelling the hu- 
ors, and to invigorate. 1 consider them invaluable family medicines.

A NEW SINGING BOOK. 
(REVISED EDITION.) 
 
HE AMERICAN VOCALIST,"-by Rev. D. H. MANSFIELD,-
.1- published a few months since, has had a most rapid sale. The Re-
vised Edition is enlarged by the addition or 171 choice times, and it 
now contains more than any other collection. It is divided into three 
arts, all of which are embraced in one volume, and is designed for 
he church, the vestry, and the parlor. 
PART I-Consists of Church Music, old and new, and contains the 
most valuable productions of eminent American authors, now liv-
ing, as well as of the most distinguished European composers, in all 
30 Church Tunes, adapted to every variety of metre found in the 
Hymn Books, used by all the religious denominations in the country, 
besides a large number of Anthems and select pieces ibr special 
occasions. 
PARTS II and III-Contain all that is valuable of the VestryelVIti-
ic now in existence, consisting of the most popular Revival Melo-
lies, and the most admired English, Scottish, Irish, Spanish, and 
Italian Songs, arranged for four voices, expressly for this work, and 
accompanied with appropriate sacred poetry, embracing in a single 
volume more than 500 tunes, adapted to every occasion of public and 
social worship, and containing,' nearly all the gems ofrousic that have 
been composed within the last five hundred years, and a large num-
ber of tunes never before published, the whole designed as a stan-
dard in every department of Sacred Harmony. 
The poetry alone would fill a large volume, a whole hymn being set 
to a time, instead of a single verse. It contains also a plain and con-
cise System of Elementary instruction, and is particularly adapted 
to Singing Schools, Musical Societies, and Choirs. 
Mr. MANSFIELD has been a teacher of Vocal Music for eighteen 
years, has travelled extensively in all the Northern and Middle 
States, and has spared no pains or expense to make himself ac-
quainted with the kind of music demanded for popular use in this 
country. 
Teachers and others are invited to call and examine the book.
