THE ADVENT HERALD He has made it a world of fragrance and music, 
Is published every Saturday, at 46 1-2 Kneeland st. (up a world of brightness and symmetry—a world

and poetical beauties of Scripture 
cidental. Its authors wrote, not 
display—not to astonish nor amaze their breth-
ren, but to instruct them and make them better. 
They wrote for God's glory, not their own ; they 
wrote for the world's advantage, not to aggran-
dize themselves. Demosthenes composed his 
most splendid oration in order to win the crown 
of eloquence ; and the most elaborate effort of 
ancient oratory—the panegyric to which Isocra-
tes devoted fifteen years—was just an essay 
written for a prize. How different the circum-
stances in which the speech on Mars hill was 
spoken, and the farewell sermon in the upper 
chamber at Troas. Herodotus and Thucydides 
composed their histories with a view to popular 
applause ; and Pindar's fiery pulse beat faster 
in prospect of the great Olympic gathering and 
the praises of assembled Greece. How opposite 
the circumstances in which the seer of Horeb 
penned his faithful story, and Isaiah and Jere-
miah poured forth their fearless denunciations of 
popular sins. The most superb of modern histo-
rians confesses the flutter which he felt when the 
last line of his task was written, and he thought 
that perhaps has fame was established. A more 
important history concludes : "These things are 
writtten that ye might believe that Jesus is the 
Christ, the Son of God ; and that believing ye 
might have life through his name." 
Remembering, then, that the Bible contains 
no ornamental passages,nothing for mere display 
—that its steadfast purpose is "Glory to God 
in the highest," and the truest blessedness of 
man---I repeat, that the Bible abounds in pas-
sages of the purest beauty and stateliest gran-
deur, all the grander and all the more beautiful 
because they are casual and unsought. The fire 
that flashes from the iron hoof of the Tartar 
steed as he scours the midnight path is grander 
than the artificial fireworks ; for it is the casual 
effect of speed and power. The clang if ocean 
as he booms his billows on the rock, and the 
echoing caves give chorus, is more soul-filling 
and sublime than all the music of the orchestra ; 
for it is the music of that main so mighty that 
there is a grandeur in all it does, in its sleep a 
melody, and in its march a stately psalm. And 
in the bow which paints the melting cloud there 
is a beauty which the stained glass or gorgeous 
drapery emulates in vain ; for it is the glory 
which gilds beneficence, the brightness which be-
speaks a double boon, the flush which cannot but 
come forth when both the sun and shower are 
there. The style of Scripture has all this glory. 
It has the gracefulness of a high utility ; it has 
the majesty of intrinsic power ; it has the charm 
of its own sancity ; it never labors, never strives, 
but instinct with great realities, and bent on 
blessed ends, has all the translucent beauty and 
unstudied power which you might expect from 
its lofty object and all-wise Author.

GOD'S LIGHT. 
"It will never be dark in heaven." 
Thus spoke a little child, 
And, as the sweet words were uttered, 
She looked at me and smiled ; 
For her spirit was pondering with great delight, 
The thought of a world where there was "no night." 
And I thought how those words so simple 
The Christian's hope expressed, 
As sometimes midIt gloom and darkness 
He journeys to his rest. 
He too is expecting a glorious day, 
When earth's night and shadows have passed away. 
And the Teacher—lie too may reckon 
In God's own light to see— 
When he reaches "the holy city," 
And stands in its brilliancy. 
To his wandering heart and eye unveiled, 
The fruits of those efforts he thought had failed. 
0, should not these prospects gladden 
God's enildren while below, 
Till rejoicing we there shall enter, 
And perfect brightness know ? 
By faith now led onward, in hope we wait 
The eternal light of the heavenly state. 
Literary Character of the Bible. 
I Extract from a lecture by James Hamilton, London. 
God made the present earth as the home of 
man ; but had he meant it as a mere lodging, a 
world less beautiful would have served the pur-
pose. There was no need for the carpet of ver-
due or the ceiling of blue—no need for the 
mountains, and cataracts, and forests—no need 
for the rainbow—no need for the flowers. A big, 
round island, half of it arable, and half of it 
pasture, with a clump of trees in one corner,and 
a magazine of fuel in another, might have held 
and fed ten millions of people; and a hundred 
islands, all made on the same pattern, big and 
round, might have held and fed the population 
of the globe. But man is something more than 
the animal which wants lodging and food. He 
has a spiritual nature, full of keen preceptions 
and deep sympathies. He has an eye for the 
sublime and the beautiful, and his kind Creator 
has provided man's abode with affluent materials 
for these nobler tastes. He has built Mount 
Blanc, and molten the lakes in which its shadow 
sleeps. He has intoned Niagara's thunder, and 
had breathed the zephpr which sweeps its spray. 
I He has shagged the steep with its cedars,
, and 
spread the meadow with its kingcups and daises. 
the lovely, rejoice together. In fashioning the 
home of man the Creator had an eye to some-
thing more than convenience, and built not a 
barrack, but a palace—not a workhouse, but an 
Alhambra ; something which should not only 
be very comfortable, but very splendid and very 
fair—something which should inspire the soul of 
its inhabitants, and even draw forth the "very 
good" of complacent Deity. 
God also made the the Bible as the guide and 
oracle of man ; but had he meant it as a lesson-
book of' duty, a volume less various and less at-
trative would have answered, every end. 
A few plain paragraphs, announcing God's 
own character and dispositon towards us sinners 
here on earth, mentioning the provision which he 
has made for our happiness, and indicating the 
different duties which he would have us per-
form—a few simple sentences would have suffic-
ed to tell what God is, and what he wouill have 
us do. There was ao need for the picturesque 
narrative and the majestic poem---no need for 
the proverb, the story, and the palsm. A chap-
ter of theology, and another of morals—a short 
account of the incarnation and great atonement, 
and a few pages of the rules and directions for 
the Christians life, might have contained the 
main truths of Scripture, and have supplied us 
with a Bible of simplest meaning and smallest 
size. And in that case the Bible would have 
been consulted only by those rare and wistful 
sprits to whom the great hereafter is a subject of 
anxiety, who are really auxions to know who 
God is, and how themselves may please him. 
But in giving that Bible its Divine Author had 
regard to the mind of man. He knew that man 
was more curiosity than piety, more taste than 
sanctity ; and that more persons are anxious to 
hear some new,or read some beauteous thing than 
to read or hear about God and the great salva-
tion. 
He knew that few would ever ask, What 
must I do to be saved ? till they come in contact 
with the Bible itself; and therefore, He made 
the Bible only an in instructive book, but an at-
tractive one—not only true, but enticing. Jie 
filled it with marvelous incident and engag-
ing history—with sunny pictures from the old 
world scenery, and affecting anecdotes from the 
patriarch times. Re replenished it with stately 
argument and thrilling verse, and sprinkled it 
over with sententious wisdom and proverbial pun-
gency. He made it a book of lofty thoughts and 
noble images—a book of heavenly doctrine, but 
withal of earthly adaption. In preparing a guide 
to immortality, Infinite Wisdom gave not a dic-
tionary nor a grammar, but a Bible—a book 
which,in trying to catch the heart of naan,should 
captivate his taste ; and which in transforming his 
affections, should also expand his intellect. The 
pearl is of great price ; and even the casket is 
of exquisite beauty. The sword is of ethereal 
temper, and nothing cuts so keen as its double 
edge; but there are jewels on the hilt, and fine 
tracery on the scabbard. The shekels are of the 
purest ore ; but even the scrip which contains 
them is of a texture more curious than that the 
artists of earth could fashion. The apples are 
of gold, but even the basket is of silver. 
And here we would add one remark which it 
The rhetorical the wings of angels to paradise, how often he 
are merely in- heard the declaration, "they are singing 'Old 
for glory nor Hundred' now." 
The solemn strain carried us back to the times 
of the Reformers—Luther and his devoted band. 
He doubtless was the first to strike the grand old 
chords in the public sanctury of his own Germany. 
From his own stentorian lungs they rolled,vihra-
ting not through vaulted cathedral roof,but along 
a grander arch,the eternal heavens. He wrought 
into each note his own sublime faith, and stamp-
ed it with that faith's immortality. Hence, it 
cannot die ! Neither man nor angels will let it 
pass into oblivion. 
Can you find a tomb in the land where sealed 
lips lie that have not sung that tune? If they 
were gray old men,they had heard or sung "Old 
Hundred." Sinner and saint have joined with 
the endless congregation where it has, with and 
without the organ, sounded on sacred air. The 
dear little children, looking with wondering eyes 
on this strange world, have lisped it. The sweet 
young girl,whose tombstone told of sixteen sum-
mers, she whose pure innocent face haunted you 
with its mild beauty, loved "Old Hundred," and 
as she sung it, closed her eyes and seemed com-
muning with the angels who were so soon to 
claim her. He whose manhood was devoted to 
the service of his God, and who with faltering 
steps ascended the pulpit stairs with white hands 
placed over his laboring breast, loved "Old Hun-
dred." And though sometimes his lips only 
moved, away down in his heart, so soon to cease 
to throb, the holy melody was sounding. The 
dear, white-headed father, with his tremulous 
voice, how he loved "Old Hundred." Do you 
see him now, sitting in the venerable arm-chair, 
his arms crossed over the top of his cane, his 
silver locks floating off from his hollow temples, 
and a tear, perchance, stealing down his'furrow-
ed cheeks,as the noble strains ring out ? Do you 
hear that thin, quivering, faltering sound now 
bursting forth, now listened for almost in vain ? 
If you do not, we do ; and from such lips, hal-
lowed by fourscore years' service in the Master's 
cause, "Old Hundred" sounds indeed a sacred 
melody. 
You may fill your churches with choirs, with 
Sabbath prima donna,whose darling notes emulate 
the steeple, and cost almost as much, but give 
us the spirit-stirring tones of the Lutheran hymn, 
sung by young and old together. Martyrs have 
hallowed it ; it has gone up from the dying beds 
of the saints. The old churche.s,where generation 
after generation have worshiped, and where many 
scores of the dear dead have been carried and 
laid before the altar where they gave themselves 
to God, seem to breathe of "Old hundred" from 
vestibule to tower-top—the very air is haunted 
with its spirit. Think, for a moment, of the as-
sembled company who have at different times, 
and in different places, joined in the familiar 
tune ? Throng upon throng—the stern,the tim-
id, the gentle, the brave,the beautiful, their rapt 
faces all beaming with the inspration of the heav-
enly sounds ! 
"Old Hundred !" king of the sacred band of 
ancient airs, never shall our ears grow weary of 
hearing, or our tongues of singing thee ! And 
in the resurrection who knows but what the 
first triumphal strain that welcomes us may be— 
Be Thou, 0 God, exalted high ! " 
In a rustic old church opposite,while we write, 
a company of' worshipers are singing the oldeold 
hymn : 
" Be Thou, 0 God, exalted high ! 
The air is old also—the immortal "Old Hun-
dred." If it be true that Luther composed that 
tune, and if the worship of mortals is carried on

Report of the church at Toly. 
DEAR BRETHREN : The Messiah's church of 
Toly sendeth greeting. The church in this place 
is in a healthful condition. She has passed 
through various trials the past year, but the 
Lord has graciously delivered her, and the cause 
has moved steadily onward. 
Eleven persons have been baptized and thir-
teen received into church fellowship. 
Rev. M. B. Laning is our pastor, and preach-
es in connection with this place at Centreville, 
Brandy Camps, and Hellen. 
We have three weekly prayer meetings, be-
sides a monthly meeting for general Christian 
conference, experience, prayer, and business. 
Eighty dollars have been paid toward the 
support of the gospel on the present year, end-
ing Aug. 31st, and 40 yet remain unpaid. 
We have three Sabbath schools connected with 
the church, which are sustained through the 
summer season, numbering in all about 75 mem-
bers. 
They have been laboring under serious disad-
vantanges, for want of books. But we hope to 
remove this difficulty soon. Amidst storms and 
tempests we are resolved to hold fast till Jesus 
comes, and do earnestly solicit the prayerful co-
operation of the brethren in conference and the 
sister churches. 
In behalf of the church,

DEAR BRETHREN ; Not being able to send a

The last year two have been added to the 
church, and two expelled. At present we have

We pay ninety dollars to the support of our

Report of the Washington church, Clinton Co., 
Pa. 
To the brethren in Conference assembled, 
greeting. 
The church in this place is an infant one, hav-
ing been organized on the 27th of July last. 
For nearly two years previous to this date, we 
had enjoyed the occasional labors of Brother 
Jackson. In the winter of last year a protract-
ed meeting was held, which was blessed of God 
to the revival of his work and the conversion of 
some precious souls. We began existence with 
nine (9) members. Since the organization fif-
teen have been received into fellowship. Two 
have been excluded. One died in the army. 
Our present No. is twenty-one. Fifteen have 
been baptized. We have made our way thus 
far through much prejudice and opposition. Yet 
the Lord has ever been with us. We are at 
peace among ourselves, and are striving for the 
things that make for peace. Watching over one 
another,we are endeavoring to keep ourselves in 
the love of God and the patient waiting for 
Christ. We love the doctrines of the speedy 
advent of Christ, and his reign with his people 
upon the restored earth, and trust that, by the 
grace of God, we shall ever walk worthy of Him 
who has called us,and be found of him in peace,

OF THE TIME OF THE ADVENT. 
Though we do not fix the definite time when 
the Son of Man shall come in His glory, yet the 
fulfillment of the prophecies and the events in 
the history of the church and the world, which 
have taken place, and are now transpiring, give 
evidence that He is nigh, even at the door. It 
is the duty of Christians to watch and pray al-
ways, that they may be accounted worthy to es-
cape all these things that shall come to pass, and 
to stand before the Son of Man. The scond ad-
vent of Christ, and the truths connected with 
that great event, are to be taught in connexion 
with the various truths belonging to the gospel 
of Christ, as they present Scriptural motives for 
awakening and sanctifying the children of men. 
OF CONVERSION. 
Men are converted to God through truth as 
an instrument, applied to their souls by the pow 
er of the Holy Spirit. Without this change,they 
are dead in trespasses and sins. Of His own 
will begat he us with the word of truth, that we 
should be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures.

" The New Sect " — Messiah's 
Church. 
MR. EDITOR:—I have never been among the 
number of those to whom a written formula of 
faith was a monster with hoofs and horns. On 
the contrary, I have always regarded it as the 
simplest manner of saying to the world what were 
the leading and fundamental doctrines held by 
any individual, or organized body of Christians, 
for which those uniting in putting them forth 
were willing to be held responsible. No one 
holding religious views at all should be ashamed 
to avow them, and have them so tangible as to 
be held to them until he shall publicly disavow 
them. My experience has been that those who 
have decried the most loudly against creeds, have 
been the most dogmatical and intolerant in pro-
fessing their peculiar tenets. 
In order, therefore, that they might obey the 
apostolic injunction, "That ye all speak the same 
thing," MESSIAH'S CHURCH has adopted and put 
forth the following formula, as expressive of her 
views on the leading doctrines of the gospel, and 
is ready to maintain them by scripture, under 
all circumstances. She challenges investigation. 
J. LITCH. 
Principles of Divine Truth, believed and main-
tained by Messiah's Church. 
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. 
The Holy Scriptures are a Divine revelation 
of the person, character, works, purposes, prom-
ises, threatenings, and laws of God, in his deal- 
ings and intercourse with this worid ; is, 
this globe and its inhabitants. Holy men wrote 
them as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 
In them God has spoken as he means, and means 
as he says. His word, therefore, is to be inter-
preted by the same laws of language by which 
all other writings are interpreted—the meaning 
of each part to be determined by the subject and 
the context, in the light of parallel passages. 
And yet, so profound are these Divine writings, 
that it is only by the assistance and illumination 
of the Holy Spirit that their full import and 
richness can be apprehended. It is a great and 
dangerous error,to teach that the Bible is a mys-
tical book, and does not express its meaning in 
plain terms, but leaves it to the fancy of each in-
terpreter to put on his own construction ; thus 
striking at the foundation of all confidence in it 
as an infalliable truth and rule of faith, and leav-
ing us precisely where we should be without the 
Bible. Interpreting it by the ordinary laws of 
language, the Bible is a sufficient and perfect 
rule of faith and duty. 
OF GOD. 
There is but one living and true God, who is 
a Spirit, eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, of in-
infinite wisdom, power, goodness, truth, justice, 
and mercy. He is the Creator and Ruler of all 
things visible and invisible. In him we all live, 
and move, and have our being. He is manifest-
ed to us by the Scriptures as Father, Word, and 
Holy Spirit. 
OF JESUS CHRIST. 
Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, the king of 
Israel, the Saviour of the world. He was be-
gotten of the holy spirit, born of Mary, a pure 
virgin, and was therefore the only begotten Son 
of God, the Son of man, and the seed of the wo-
man. In this man, Jesus the Christ, dwelt all 
the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the Word 
which was in the beginning with God, and was 
God ; hence he was both God and man. He 
bore our sins in his own body on the tree, and 
by his death became the propitiation for our sins, 
and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the 
whole world, so that God can be just, and yet 
the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus. Be

Report of Cooper Church. 
The church at Cooper's is still enjoying the 
pastoral labors of Elder M. L. Jackson. 
It now consists of about thirty five members, 
six of whom united during the past year. One 
of the little flock was removed by death, and 
two are in the service of the United States. 
Within the past year the church has enjoyed 
two gracious seasons of revival, at each of which 
quite a number sought an interest in Christ and 
were made the subjects of his grace and love. 
Ten were baptized last winter. 
A Sabbath school connected with the church 
is held during the summer. 
It has just commenced this season, but will 
probably number from thirty to forty scholars, 
and, judging from the interest already manifest-
ed, we trust it will be more prosperous than for 
years past. Several of the converts last winter 
were Sabbath school scholars. 
We have prayer or conference meetings each 
Sabbath, the attendance and interest of which 
are usually good. 
The pecuniary interest is not forgotten, al-
though times have been very hard,the amount of 
the subscription, one hundred dollars, was paid 
last year, and the same is to be paid this year. 
May unity and love still dwell among us, and 
we co-operate with our beloved brother in the 
work of endeavoring to save sinners. May suc-
cess and harmony attend the'present Messianian 
conference and the blessing of God rest upon the 
labors of all those connected with it; and finally 
may we meet with the saints of all ages in the 
kingdom of our God.

Report of the church at New Kingston, Cumber- 
land Co., Pa. 
The church has passed through a series of re-
verses the past year. Two or three have "gone 
out from us because they were not of us, that 
their deeds might be made manifest." Several 
of the most active members have been called to 
other sections of the country. Our Bro. Jno. H. 
Heagy has received and accepted a charge of 
the Mobile church. 
Bro. Wm. Owen for the present resides in 
Bucyrus, 0., where he is doubtless doing some 
good. 
[We hope he wilt not neglect the gift he has 
in him. Wm. H. L.] 
Two persons have been baptized, and received 
into fellowship with us. Our meetings are well 
attended. 
The pastors salery has been raised. 
We have a Sabbath school, numbering some 
50 scholars and teachers, which is flourishing, 
and proves to be an important branch to the 
church. We expect an abundant harvest the 
coming year. Pray for us. 
WM. HEAGY, Clerk. 
New Kingston, Pa. 
From Shiremanstown. 
DEAR BRETHREN : We are thankful that the 
Lord has preserved us to meet with you in this 
annual gathering again. Our pathway during 
the past year has been marked with trials by 
times- We are fiercely opposed while proclaim-
ing and maintaining the doctrine of the speedy 
redemption. The people close their eyes to the 
truth and refuse to hear the glorious gospel of 
the kingdom of God, lest they be convinced of 
the correctness of the doctrine we maintained. 
Bro. Swartz, as a true yoke fellow,labored with 
very good acceptance to his flock. He has done 
all he could to encourage his tried church, by 
presenting to them the claims of the gospel, and 
the glorious, rich reward that awaits them at 
the resurrection of the just ; and labors faithful-
ly to convince sinners of their awful doom, and 
in persuading them to be reconciled to God. We 
had a protracted meeting the past winter, which 
was attended by a number of conversions ; back-
sliders were reclaimed and the church revived. 
Two accessions have been made to the church 
the past year. 
rose from the dead, the first fruits of them that 
slept, and was declared to be the Son of God, 
with power according to the Spirit of holiness 
by the resurrection from the dead. After being 
seen of his disciples forty days, he ascended to 
heaven, visibly and bodily, and sat down on the 
right hand of God. To them that look for him 
shall he appear the second time, without sin, un-
to salvation, and will come in like manner as his 
disciples saw him go into heaven. 
OF THE HOLY GHOST. 
The Holy Ghost has been sent into the world 
by the eather, through the mediation of the 
Son, as the inspirer of truth, the reprover of sin, 
the awakener of the conscience, the renewer, 
sanctifier, and comforter of the penitent and 
obedient believer, the witness of adoption, the 
seal and earnest of the saint's inheritance ; he 
dwells in each child of God, and will, at the glo-
rious appearing of Jesus Christ,quicken the mor-
tal bodies of the saints into immortal life, and 
will dwell in them eternally, constituting them 
the children of God. 
OF MAN. 
God made man holy and immortal, composed 
of a body, made of dust ; a soul, the life or liv-
ing principle,produced by the Divine being when 
he breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life; 
and a spirit,the conscious principle,formed with-
in him. Mortality or death is the fruit of sin, 
the penalty of the law of God. It consists in a 
disseverance of the spiritual and physical nature 
of man, so that the dust returns to the earth as 
it was, and the spirit to the God who gave it. 
In this intermediate state, between death and 
the resurrection, the righteous enter into peace, 
and are comforted ; but the wicked in hades, 
that is, the invisible world, are tormented. But 
the righteous do not receive their crowns nor in-
heritance till after the general judgment, the 
second advent of Christ, and the resurrection of 
their bodies ; nor do the wicked receive their 
punishment till the same epoch. 
OF THE FALL 
God created and made this world in perfec-
tion, for man's dominion and inheritance, and 
made man holy and immortal, to enjoy and rule 
it. The first act of disobedience, by our first pa- 
rents, brought death on the race, and the 'curse 
on the world ; so that man is sinful and mortal, 
and the whole creation groaneth and travaileth 
in pain together until now, waiting for the man: 
festation of the sons of God ; while the usurper, 
Satan, claims the right of possession and domin-
ion over all the kingdoms of the world. 
OF SALVATION. 
Salvation is pardon, restoring the guilty to 
the favour of God ; renewal and sanctification, 
restoring the depraved and polluted to moral pu-
rity and holiness ; glorification, restoring the 
mortal and corruptible from the ruins of the fall 
to immortality and glory. It embraces, also, a 
deliverance of man's inheritance from tilb curse 
and the dominion of Satan, and man's restitution 
to its everlasting enjoyments. Then, not before, 
will salvation be complete. 
OF CONDITIONS OF SALVATION. 
The conditions of pardon and sanctification 
are repentance toward God, and faith in our 
Lord Jesus Christ. The condition of eternal 
salvation to the believer is, continuous faith in 
and obedience to Christ, to the end. 
OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. 
There will be a resurrection of the bodies of 
all the race of Adam who die, both of the just 
unjust. The just will be raised to everlasting 
life at the second coming of Christ, and the in-
troduction of the millennium. The unjust will be 
raised at the end of the millennium, when Satan 
is loosed from his prison ; and, under his decep-
tive influence,they will go up from the four quar-
ters of the earth to assault and attempt to over-
throw Christ and his saints in the New Jerusa-
lem; then fire from God,out of heaven,will come 
down and devour them,and whoever is not found 
written in the book of life will be cast into the 
lake of fire, which is the second death; the joys 
of the righteous, and sufferings of the wicked, 
will then be eternal. The only millennium taught 
a flourishing condition. May the Lord be with 
you, and send prosperity in all the churches. 
OF DUTIES OF CHRISTIANS. 
Believers should love God and their fellow-
men, being careful to maintain good works. They 
are to place their affections on things above, not 
on things on the earth. It is their duty to con-
tinue instant in prayer—to pray with and in-
struct their families in the truth of God ; to be 
watchful. They are not to be conformed to the 
world ; but to follow the example of Christ, in 
meeknesss, forbearance, kindne'ss,and love to the 
souls of men, constantly imploring the influence

ON THE CONVERSION OF THE WORLD.--THE JEWS. 
The Scriptures do not teach the conversion of 
the greater part of our race, or the return of the 
Jews as a nation to their own land, at any pe-
riod previous to the coaling of the Messiah. The 
theories which have been advocated on these 
points were unknown to the primitive church. 
OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 
The kingdom of God is the glorious and ever-
lasting reign of Christ on the throne of David in 
the New Jerusalem,the metropolis of the people ; 
thus fulfilling Revelation xi. 15 : "The kingdoms 
of this world are become the kingdoms of our 
Lord and His Christ ; and He shall reign for-
ever and ever." 
OF THE EVERLASTING ABODE OF THE SAINTS. 
The Scriptures speak thus, in reference to the 
everlasting abode of the saints in a glorified 
state. Isaiah lxv. 17 : "For behold, I create 
new heavens and a new earth ; and the former 
shall not be remembered nor come into mind." 
Isa• lxv. 17: 'But be ye glad and rejoice for 
ever in that which I create." Matt. v. 5: "Bless-
ed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." 
2 Pet. iii. 13: "Nevertheless we, according to 
His promise, look for new heavens and a new 
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Daniel 
vii. 27: "And the kingdom and dominion, and 
the greatness of the kingdom nnder the whole 
heaven,shall be given to the people of the saints 
of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlast-
ing kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and 
obey Him." Rev. v. 10: "And bast made us 
unto our God kings and priests ; and we shall 
reign on the earth." Rev. xx. 6: "Blessed and 
holy is he that bath part in the first resurrection, 
on such the second death hath no power, but 
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and 
shall reign with Him a thousand years. Rev. 
xxi. 1, 3, 4: "And I saw a new heaven and a 
new earth,for the first heaven and the first earth 
had passed away ; and there was no more sea. 
And I heard a great voice out of heaven,saying, 
Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and 
He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His 
people, and God himself shall be with them, and 
be their God. And God shall wipe away all 
tears from their eyes ; and there shall be no more 
death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall 
there be any more pain ; for the former things 
are passed away."

Corrections. 
In the last paragraph of " A Synopsis of Revela-
ion," &c., by Jas. Scott, in the Herald of June 21, 
should have read : " These things prove that we 
re now just about ten years to the close of the 6000, 
nd end of this fallen world and beginning of the 
illennial kingdom"-the 6000 and words in italics 
eing omitted by oversight of the compositor. 
The article on "The Bridegroom Tarried," in last 
Jerald, was copied, according to promise of the week 
revious, from Dr. Seiss' work on the Ten Virgins, 
which it should have been credited, as we sup-
osed it was till the paper was issued. 
Brother John F. Knox closes a business letter 
ith the benediction s "May the blessing of our 
eaveuly Father rest upon the Herald !" 
We cannot two sensibly or constantly realize that 
aul may plant, or Apollos water, but that God 
lone can give any increase. It is the same tempos-
lly,as well as Spiritually. Without God's blessing 
he labor of the husbandman is all in vain ; and it is 
lily as God blesses spoken or written truth that it 
s ever productive of good. We wish to regard the 
Jerald as His instrumentality, and we desire ever 
feel- grateful to all who constantly call down God's 
Messing upon it, or pray for wisdom from on high 
guide all who shall write for its columns. 
The Genealogies of Christ. 
The Evangelists give two distinct genealogies of 
our Lord, that in Matthew and that in Luke, refer-
ence being here made to the places in the Old Testa-
ment where the same names occur. Also, any names 
omitted in the New Testament, and oceuring in the 
Old, are here supplied. From Abraham to David, 
both Matthew and Luke give only a single line of 
descent as follows Luke commencing with Adam :

In the foregoing the second "Canian" in Mat-
thew's genealogy is generally regarded as an interpo-
lation ; and it is supposed by Dr. Hales, and others, 
that there is an ommission of four generations be-
tween Obed, with whom the book of Ruth ends,and 
Jesse the father of David-the argument being that 
the descendants of Levi covering the same period, 
reckon four more generations,than the line of David, 
and that from the entrance into Canaan to the birth 
of David must have been 466 years ;)vhich, if there 
were no intervening generations, to be divided be-
tween Boaz (the son of Salmon and Rahab of *Jer-
icho), Obed, and Jesse would make the average age 
of each at the birth of his son about 155 years, or 
120 years according to the Usherian chronology ; 
which exceeds the ages of men at that period. 
From this point the genealogies of Matthew and 
Luke show a marked difference :

lows : "Jesus (being as was reputed, the son of Jq. 
sepli [but in reality]) the son of Heli, or his grand. 
son by his mother's side ; for so should the elipsis 
involved in the parenthesis be supplied." Anos. 
Chron. v. 2. p. 700. 
According to Lightfoot, who refers to ancient 
Jewish writings, Mary was called by the Jews "the 
daughter of Eli ;" and by the early Christian writers, 
"the daughter of Joakim and Anna." "But Jas.. 
kim and Eliakira," says Dr. Hales, "(as being de-
rived from the names of God lahoh, arid El,) are 
some times interchanged,2 Chron.36: 4. Eli or Hell, 
is the abridgment of Eliakim." lb. p. 699. 
Among the Jews, a man sometimes was called af-
ter his wife's family, as in Ezra 2: 61: "Who took 
a wife of the daughters of Barzillai , and was called 
after their name." By the manner, therefore, in 
which Luke traces back to David, he nowhere af-
firms that one was the actual son of the other, as 
Matthew does, but he traces from one to another, 
consistent with the supposition that the one was 
sometimes the son-in-law of the other. With this 
supposition is it very:easy to suppose that the lines 
of the two sons of David,Nathan and Solomon,unite 
in the persons of Salathiel and Zorobabel, and so 
make Mary to have been descended from both Solo-
mon and Nathan. And that our Lord was a son of 
Solomon as well as of David, may be inferred from 
2 Sam. 7: 12-16. Also that the family of Na-
than, was to have a special interest in the future 
Messiah, as well as the family of David in its direct 
line,is clear from Zech. 12: 10-13, where,in speak-
ing of the scenes of the crucifixion,we read : "I will 
pour upon the house of David,and upon the inhabi-
tants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and supplica-
tions : and they shall look down upon Me whom 
they pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one 
mourneth for his only son, add shall be in bitterness 
for him as one that bitterness for his first born. 
. . ,And the land shall mourn,every family apart ; 
the family of the house of David apart and their 
wives apart ; the family of the house of Nathan 
apart, and their wives apart ; the family of the 
house of Levi apart, and their wives apart ; the 
family of the house of Shimei apart, and their wives 
apart." 
There are varions difficulties in connection with 
any view of these genealogies,which we shall not at- 
tempt here to harmonize. It is sufficient for the au-
thenticity of both, that we have no evidence that the 
Jews ever questioned either, and yet had the means 
of disproving any inaccuracy, by their careful pre-
servation of their national and family genealogies.

THE 2300 DAYS. 
Continued from our last. 
" 2300." 
Of those who reckon this period as years, and ter-
minate it at an equally unreasonable distance in the 
past, we have

lished sermon "delivered in the Government Street 
Church, Mobile, on Sunday night March 26, 1843." 
lie argues that the "Sanctuary" is the church, and 
dates the 2300 days from Faber's date of the rise of 
the Persian Monarchy, B. C. 784, out of the ruins 
of the Assyrian empire, as follows : 
"Now compute: from 2300 take 784, the number 
of years before Christ when the ram arose, and you 
have A. D. 1516 ; the very time when the great re-
formation from popery was commencing in Germa-
ny ,-an event sufficiently important to make a 
prophetic era." Sermons. p. 21. 
REV. GEORGE STANLY FABER,-author of "The Sa-
cred Calendar of prophecy,"London,',1828,-having 
abandoned the reading of "2200," which he adopt-
ed in 1805,in the first edition of his "Dissertations," 
and also that of "2400," which he adopted in 1814, 
in the fifth edition of the same, he returns in his 
later writings to "2300" as the correct reading. 
In this work also he varies his scheme for the com-
mencement and ending of the smaller periods. Be-
ginning the 1290 years in A. D. 70, he terminates 
them in A. D. 1360 ; and beginning the 1260 with 
the rise of Mohammedanism, in A. D 604, he ends 
them in 1864, where he commences the 1335 years ; 
which he extends through the millennium. Refer-
ring to the 2300 days, he says : 
"Some persons have imagined, from the peculiar-
ity of the expression, that we ought to understand, 
not two thousand three hundred days, but only two 
thousand three hundred half days, which would re-
duce the period to no more than one thousand one 
hundred and fifty. I myself cannot discern the pos-
sibility of extracting such a sense from the original 
phraseology. The term,I think, is clearly two thou-
sand three hundred days, whether those days be lit-
eral or prophetic." II). vol. 2. p. 175.

A church organized according to the New Tes-
:ament,is composed of persons who give evidence h 
:hat they believe in Christ, and show their faith ci 
,-.)y their works, and who observe the ordinances 
according to the direction of the Scriptures. Each l 
church has power to receive members, to watch 
ever them, to admonish them, to dismiss them,or 
to put them away for violations of the rules of 
the Gospel.

The names in the list given by Luke so vary from 
that given by Matthew, that all attempts to recon- 
cile the two have proved failures. And that they 
are separate genealogies, the fact that Luke traces 
our Lord's pedigree back to David's son Nathan, 
while Matthew traces back to David's son Solomon,is 
conclusive. For, the ancestors of no one can be 
traced hack in the male line, in unbroken succession 
to two different progenitors. Nor do the few simi-
lar names in the two lists prove an identity of per-
sons in that age any more than would the same now. 
That the genealogy given by Matthew is that of 
Joseph, the husband of Mary, is unquestioned. And 
that Joesph's genealogy should be traced back to 
David, was necessary to meet the cavils of the Jews, 
by whom it was generally received that Jesus was 
the son of a carpenter (Matt. 13: 55),and the son of 
Joseph, (John 6 : 42) ; so that if Joseph's genealogy 
had not been clearly tracable to David, the Jews 
would not have failed to oppose Christ's pedigree as a 
disproof of his Messiahship. 
Whilst, however, our Lord's legal genealogy is 
thus traceable to David, through Joseph and Solo-
mon, it would be objected by the Gentiles, when 
taught that Joseph was only our Lord's reputed 
father, that to him he sustained no actual relation 
whatever, and that consequently through him he 
was not David's son. But the angel Gabriel,at the 
annunciation, told the virgin Mary, that God would 
give her divine Son "the throne of his father David," 
Luke 1 : 32 ; so that to prove our Lord's actual 
descent from David,it was as necessary to show that 
Mary was a descendant from him, to meet the ques-
tions of believers,as it was to show Joseph's,to meet 
the scruples of the Jews. And the genealogy given 
by Luke, we understand to be that of Mary's. 
It will be noticed that Luke is very cautious in 
his phraseology. He does not affirm that Jesus was 
the son of Joseph, nor that Joseph was the son of 
Heli-the words "the son" being in italics, and not 
in the original. Luke's declaration then is, that 
Jesus "being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, 
which was of Heli ;" which Dr. Hales reads as fol-

THE ADVEN f HERALD 
disprove the near termination of this period, have 
taken the view here dissented from. Thus Prof. 
Ira Chas, D. D., of Newton Theological Seminary, 
said : 
"The period predicted is not two thousand and 
three hundred days, but only half that number." 
Remarks on the Book of Daniel, 1842, p. 60. 
Rev. John Dowling, D. D.,of New York City, in 
his "Exposition of Prophecies," New York, 1841, 
took the same view. 
Mr. Faber in proceeding to give his views more 
in detail, remarks : 
"The vision respecting the daily sacrifice and the 
desolating Apostacy is, doubtless, the vision of the 
ram and the he-goat. Hence the question is : How 
long a space of time will the vision of the ram and 
the he-goat occupy,from its chronological commence-
ment to its incipient cleansing of the sanctuary ?" 
"Since the 2300 years are to be completed from 
the chronological commencement of the vision, and 
since the vision chronologically commenced at some 
point between the year A. C. 811 and the year A. 
C. 771, they will of course terminate at the corres-
ponding point between the year alter Christ 1490 
and the year after Christ 1530." 
"Had the prophecy never been delivered,the voice 
of history alone would have determined the naked 
fact, that the Christian Church began to cleanse or 
reform itself from the apostatic worship of dead men 
in the year after Christ 1517 ; and, however we may 
interpret the prophecy since it has been delivered, 
the naked fact in question will still remain incon-
trovertable. Now the prophecy declares that at 
the end of 2300 years, to be reckoned from the com-
mencement of the present vision or from the rise of 
the independent Persian m onarchy,the mystic sanc-
tuary, which has long been polluted by a desolating 
Apostacy, should begin to be cleansed ; and the 
voice of history has determined that this predicted 
cleansing or reformation of a corrupt demonolatrous 
Church commenced in the year after Christ 1517. 
Hence, in the year after Christ 1517 the 2300 
years must plainly enough expire." 
"If we calculate retrogressively 2300 years from 
the year after Christ 1517, :we shall be brought to 
the year A. C. 784 for the commencement of the 
period and for the rise of the Persian monarchy."—
Sac. Cal. Proph. v. 2. pp. 175, 181. 
It is the privilege of every man to change his 
views, when he thinks he has reason for so doing ; 
but one who has been equally positive in respect to 
various epochs and dates, cannot expect thinking 
minds to rely with confidence on the soundness of 
his judgment. It is for this reason Mr. Faber's 
writings have now very little weight with students 
of Prophecy. 
A. D. 1791-2. 
WILLIAM CUNNINGIIAME, ESQ., of Lainshaw, Scot-
land,—author of "Remarks on David Levi's disser-
tations on the prophecies relative to the Messiah," 
London,1810 ; of "The Jubilean Chronology," Glas-
gow, 1834; of "The Fulness of the Times," London 
1836, &c. &c.—says of this period :— 
"In my work on the Apocalypse, I have identi-
fied the last part of the 2300 years with the 1260 
years, proving them to have expired together. Since 
the publication of the former Tract, however, the 
whole subject has opened itself to me in a manner 
more clear and distinct ; and I proceed to lay it be-
fore the reader as succintly as possible. The peri-
ods of 2300, and 1260 years, and their difference, 
1040 years, or the last part of the first series of 
Jubilees, beginning at Exodus, B. C. 1639, and end-
ing at the termination of the year of Christ 1791, 
counted from the vernal equinox, or at the Equinox 
of 1792. This series, as already proved by me, was 
that of the national Chronology, including their 
Shemittahs or Sabbatic Weeks. The 70 Jubilees 
may be resolved into the following series of 7 astro-
nomical cycles, beginning from Nissan 1st, or the 
vernal Equinoctial new moon, B. C. 1639:- 
1st. of 1078 yrs. from B. C. 1639, to B. C. 562.

Indus, in the 13th of his reign, whichavas the push-
ing of the Ram southward,seen in the vision of Dan. 
chap. 8: 4, with which I conceive the Chronology 
of that prophecy, viz. the 2800 years, begins."—
Fulness of Times, 1836, p. p. 120-122. 
 
"In his "Season of the End," London, 1841,Mr. 
C. speaks of "the sounding of the 7th Trumpet at 
the expiration of the 2300 and 1260 years of Dan-
iel, in 1792," p. 62. 
REV. THOMAS SCOTT, D. D.,author of Com menta- 
ry on the Scriptures, London, 1800, looked for the 
near termination of this period, without giving any 
date. After quoting Bishop Newton, he observes : 
"Some difficulty is found in determining the pre-
cise time from which to date these two thousand 
three hundred years : and the case is the same in re-
spect of the thousand two hundred and sixty years, 
in different ways repeatedly stated to he the term of 
the desolations or captivity of the church, both by 
Daniel and St. John. But nearly a thousand years 
must be allowed as intervening between the former 
and latter : the two thousand three hundred days or 
years, may be supposed to have distinct dates for 
commencement and termination, according to the 
several steps by which the predicted events had their 
beginning, and will at length come to an end. Thus 
it was with the Babylonish captivity, and the event 
alone, it is probable will clear up all the difficulties 
in which these calculations must of course be pre-
viously involved. It may perhaps be worthy of no-
tice that it is now about two thousand three hun-
dred and fifty eight years since Daniel had this vis-
ion : and no doubt the end of the two thousand and 
three hundred days, or years, is not very distant." 
Coin. on Dan. 8: 14. 
Various dates during the present century have 
been regarded with favor by different writers, as the 
termination of the 2300 days ; of which we notice 
the following : 
A. D. 1819. 
JAMES BICHENO, A. M., author of "The Signs of 
the Times," &c.,London, 1792,—who also ends the 
1290 years at the same epoch,—was one of the ear-
liest writers we find adopting this date. He says : 
"Daniel's 2300 years begin 481 years before Christ 
[with Xerxes invasion of Greece], and end in 1819, 
when some other great event, or events, will take 
place."—Signs, p. 71. 
On Mr. Faber's objecting that "the huge un-
wieldy armament of Xerxes was totally discomfited 
by the Greeks," Mr. Bicheno,in a later work, "sup-
poses the ninth year of Darius to be the date of the 
vision, a period remarkable for the conquests of 
Persia ;" and so computing "back the 2300 years 
from the end of the 1260 years, not from the end of 
the 1290." Faber's Dis. vol. 1, p. 312. 
The War. 
MONDAY, June 30. 
There has been a great battle at Richmond—but 
the particulars, which have been received at Wash-
ington, are denied publicly through the press, al-
though Secretary Stanton and the President have 
been importuned to permit their publication. 
The following dispatch was received just as we 
were on the eve of going to press, and no further 
particulars will be furnished this morning : 
The following dispatch was received at New York 
from Baltimore in the early part of Sunday night ; 
and, as will be seen, it conveys the idea that the 
news from Richmond is favorable to our arms : 
Baltimore American Office. 
June 29. 2 P. M. 
I am writing for the American a detailed account 
of events at White House, before Richmond, and on 
the peninsula, during the last 4 days,including facts 
obtained from Washington, having been sent for by 
special train to communicate with the President. 
If you desire it, and will give due credit,I will send 
it to you. 
It will make four thousand to five thousand words. 
We have had the grandest military triumph over 
the enemy, and Richmond must fall. 
(S igned ) 
C. C. FULTON. 
Proprietor of American and Agent Ass. Press. 
A dispatch from Washington, dated at 3 o'clock, 
says that the lines are working badly, and the mes-
sage could not be sent "in six hours." Our even-
ing edition will probably contain the news in full. 
We presume the reason assignable for the non-
receipt of the news is that no official report from 
Gen. McClellan had been received at Washington 
up to 3 o'clock this morning.—Boston Journal. 
Tuesday,July 1. There are exciting dispatches of 
the fighting before Richmond, though confused and 
somewhat .unsatisfactory. The accounts profess to 
describe the battles of Thursday and Friday, and 
yet they state the position of matters at "11 o'clock 
Sunday morning," without saying a word of Satur-
day's events. It is doubtful, therefore, whether we 
have anything definite later than Saturday morning. 
The Boston Journal of this morning says : 
We had hoped before this time to lay before. our 
readers definite intelligence of the result of the ter-
ble conflicts which have been going on for the last 
four or five days in front of Richmond. But we are 
denied the privilege, although it might have proved 
the sad privilege of knowing the worst. Let us,then, 
make the best of the circumstance that, so far, we 
have not come to the worst, or anything like it. 
Our direct intelligence comes down • to Saturday af- 
ternoon, at which time the rebels had appeared in 
the neighborhood of the White House, and cut the 
telegraph wire in a characteristic style. At the first 
view this seems like a fearful irruption in our rear, 
presaging a hard dilemma for our troops who may 
be penned up between the Chickahominy and the 
James river, and nearly encompassed by foes. But 
it will be observed, by the tenor of the dispatches 
making this announcement, that the evacuation of 
the vicinity by our men had been going on for a 
long time, and was successful at last, as though ev-
rything had been calmly foreseen, if not positively 
wished for. 
Inde41, the dispatches referred to are not only as-
suringly cheerful in tone, but they hint the outlines 
of new strategic combinations of the ,grandest char-
acter. Gen. Casey withdrew as if to make room for 
the on-coming rebels. Gen. Stoneman carefully 
moves away to a position indicated to him in ad-
vance. A great fleet of transports appeared at the 
mouth of the York river, obedient to Gen. McClel-
lan's orders ; and another fleet is already up James 
river. By previous correspondents we have had 
glimpses of an important naval movement to co-oper-
ate with the land forces. Perhaps this is the pivot 
on which the critical events of the last few days 
have been turning. While the enemy have been al-
lowed to scatter over a wide area, from Richmond 
round to the North side of the Chickahominy, Mc-
Clellan's army has not only come into a more com-
pact and defensible position, but has the invaluable 
reinforcement of the gunboats on both rivers. Nay 
more than that—who knows but that the rebels, in 
running into the waste and useless section in our 
rear, have only uncovered Petersburg,and facilitated 
a fatal fire in their rear ? 
At:any rate,let us wait with all possible equanim-
ity. At the worst, our army is in an excellent de-
fensive situation,where it will remain secure—while 
the posibilities are of the most cheering type. As 
the lines are cut, and we have now to rely on the 
news being brought by steam to the neighborhood of 
Fortress Monroe, it is wholly uncertain when it 
may reach us. 
THE CHICKAHOMINY RIVER, all know,from the re-
ports of Gen. McClellan's operations, to be a small 
stream in the vicinity of Richmond, which broadens 
and deepens rapidly in its course. Some time before 
it reaches the James river, into which it empties 
thirty seven miles above Fortress Monroe,it is affect-
ed by the tides, and at the mouth is, as appears 
from the James, between two and three miles wide. 
The Chickahonainy is the stream which Capt. John 
Smith was exploring when he was captured by the 
warriors of Powhattan. It is believed he was cap-
tured somewhere near the scene of the late battle. 
It will be remembered that its hanks were in the 
days of Sin ith as now, noted for marshes. Smith 
was mired in a swamp when the savages pounced 
upon him. 
THE REBEL ATROCITY AT FORT CHARLES. 
In the acccounts given of the attack on Fort 
Charles, White river, Arkansas, it will be recollect-
ed that, after the boiler of the steamer Mound City 
had been burst by a cannon shot, and several of 
those on board had jumped into the water, Colonel 
Fry, who commanded the rebel troops in the fort, 
ordered his men to fire on those who were swimming 
for their lives. Colonel Fitch, of the Union army, 
who captured the fort by making an attack on the 
land side, a St. Louis paper says, was so exasperat-
ed at the murderous fire that had been poured upon 
the scalded men who were struggling in the water, 
that when he came on board the Conestoga, where 
Colonel Fry was a prisoner, he reproached him bit-
terly for his inhuman conduct in giving the order, 
and asked him to compare his own conduct with 
our own course toward them only ten days before at 
Memphis, when all of the small boats belonging to 
the nearest of our gunboats were sent out to help 
save the drowning crew of their gunboat General 
Lovell. He told him that being a prisoner was now 
his protection,but if justice were done him he would 
be hanging to the nearest tree before night. Fry at 
first denied that he had given the order,but on being 
confronted with some of his men, who persisted in 
saying that he had given the order, he became si-
lent. 
"The scene on board after the explosion is thus 
sketched by a corrrespondent of the Cincinnati Com-
mercial : 
The agonizing scene cannot be described or imag-
ined. Your correspondent was sent on board the 
of the ill-fated vessel, together with Surgeon Gar-
ver, with the hope of affbrding all possible relief in 
the capacity of nurse. Ilere lay the bodies of some 
twenty men scalded to death, others with their man-
gled bodies severed assunder by the fatal shot. 
"The gun deck was literally strewn with from sev-
enty five to eighty others, who, being badly scalded 
and horribly disfigured, were tearing off their cloth- 
ing, and long strings of bleeding flesh, dangling 
from their finger ends, hands, arms, and lacerated 
bodies, and with eyes burnt out and closed, crying 
out for "help, help—water, give me water—save 
me. Oh ! God save me, save me. Oh ! kill me, 
shoot me. Oh ! do end my misery. Doctor will I 
live ? Tell my wife how I died," and numerous 
pitiful exclamations and pathetic appeals of this 
character. 
"The features of all were wonderfully distorted. 
Many could not be recognized by their most inti-
mate friends. We pray to God we shall never have 
occasion to look on such a scene again. The pilots, 
engineers, and all other officers of the boat, stood 
watch to the last moment, while several died at 
their posts. Many were moaning piteously ; others 
in all their misery were cheering and sympathizing 
with their comrades ; others frantically screaming 
running wildly about the decks, in their excruciat 
ing agony, nearly all stripped to the buff. Strew* 
all over the deck lie the raw, bleeding,mangled bod-
ies of the dead and dying seamen." 
From Utah. 
Great Salt Lake City, June 16. A band of per-
sons, numbering about one thousand men, women 
and children, under the leadership of one Morris, 
who claimed to be the "Prophet Moses reappeared 
on earth," formed a settlement thirty miles north 
of this city, and committed numerous depredations 
on citizens in the vicinity. They refused to labor 
for their own support, believing the Lord would 
supply their wants. 
Three of their number, disputed with the imposi-
tion, attempted to leave,but were arrested and plac-
ed in confinement, heavily ironed. A writ of habeas 
corpus was issued by Chief Justice Kinley, which 
was treated with contempt. A sufficient time hav-
ing elapsed for producing the prisoners, a second 
writ, together with an order for the arrest of Mor-
ris for contempt, and for the arrest of the leaders of 
the gang for false imprisonment, was issued. 
For the execution of this a posse of 250 infantry 
and artillery were ordered oat on the 11th, by Act-
ing Governor Fuller. Morris and his men were 
strongly entrenched and thoroughly armed. Fight-
ing ensued, and two of the Marshall's posse were 
killed. 
On the. 15th the rebels pretended to surrender, 
but resisted anew as soon as our attacking party 
approached. In a hand to hand fight Morris was 
killed, and another leader mortally wounded. The 
rebels were then overcome. Several women and 
children were killed during the siege, the Morrisites 
refusing to remove them to a place of safety. The 
prisoners captured numbered one hundred and forty-
seven, and will be brought to court to-morrow. 
Rose Brown, a colored woman, died , in Norwich, 
Conn.,on Saturday last,aged 100 years and 7 months. 
She was born in that town, and passed her long life 
near where she was born and died. 
Foreign News. 
GREAT INUNDATION IN ENGLAND. The great plain 
in the Eastern part of England, known as the Fens, 
has been overflowed, by the tide breaking through 
the barriers erected against it. That section water-
ed by the Ouse, the Neve and other rivers,comprises 
over one thousand square miles, as level and low as 
Holland. By the bursting of a sluice near Lynn 
the sea rushed in over the country, laying fifteen 
thousand acres under water the first tide. It was 
expected that on the next visitation one hundred 
and forty thousand acres would be inundated to the 
depth of several feet. Men and animals were driven 
from their dwellings,and produce was floating about 
or being destroyed. It was feared that the total loss 
would amount to more than one million sterling. 
TROUBLE BREWING IN THE EAST. The last arrival 
from Europe brings an important rumor that the 
Russian government has addressed a circular to all 
its agents in the East, recommending them to make 
preparations for their departure, a rupture of diplo-
matic relations between St. Peteasburg and Constan-
tinople being imminent. It is further reported that 
Napaleon intends to support the Emperor of Russia 
in his designs upon Turkey.—New York Evening 
Post. 
ABRAHAM'S BURIAL PLACE.—While the Prince of 
Wales was at Hebron he and his suite obtained per-
mission to visit the cave of Machpelah, Abraham's 
burial place. They are the first Christian's who have 
ever been allowed to enter it since the Crusades,near-
ly 700 years ago. Dr. Stanley says everything is 
kept in the most beauty order, and nothing could be 
more satisfactory than the state in which the tombs 
are preserved. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, 
Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are buried there.

CORRESPONDENCE. 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of the Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to he considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as disentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
MY JOURNAL. 
TOUR CONTINUED IN CANADA WEST. 
(Continued from our last.) 
In the evening I spoke on the subject of Assur-
ance, and the privilege of the people of God living 
every day in the light of God's countenance : feel-
ing within the witness of the spirit, and enjoying a 
clear sense of their acceptance with God — peace 
like a river, drinking largely of the river of God's 
pleasures ; loins girt with truth, and ready, waiting 
fur the coming of the Son of man. 
At the conclusion of this discourse many re-
solved to live a new life. I trust it may prove so. 
How happy we are to know that we are the instru-
ments of doing others good. 
Monday, April 21. Visited many this A. M., 
and found that my labors had nut been in vain in 
the Lord. At 10 o'clock A. M. I took leave of 
Bro. and sister Dickson and others, and entered the 
car for Lewiston, N. Y. 
I shall long remember my visit in Acton. I 
formed many new acquaintances, and renewed old 
ones. There is a goodly company of faithful ones 
here. Bro. D. and family let their light shine, and 
are " living epistles " of the Advent faith and hope 
in this community. Their works and faith go to-
gether. God reward them for abundant liberality 
in support of his cause. 
On my way to Lewiston, I called at Torronto and 
Hamilton. In the latter place had a pleasant call 
on Elder F. G. Brown and family. They were well, 
and prospering in the Lord. In the P..M. arrived 
at Lewiston, and put up with F. S. Sage, Esq., a 
faithful friend and brother in the Lord. In the 
morning, though unpleasant, we had a good com-
pany at the Presbyterian vestry, to whom I gave 
ten signs of the speedy coming of Christ. I was re-
ceived by the Rev. Mr. Cook, the pastor, and his 
people very kindly, though I preached to them the 
whole truth, and truth, too, that some professed 
Adventists receive with less interest and grace. We 
have a few faithful ones here ; and a few miles out 
there is a small church, gathered by Bro. Chapman, 
who keep up their meetings and let their light 
shine. 1 put up for the night with my old friend 
Arthur Gray. 
Tuesday, April 22. Took the car for Spring-
water, via Buffalo, and arrived in the evening, and 
put up with S. H. Withington, Esq. Found my 
son Edwin in improved health. He has enjoyed the 
hospitalities of Samuel and Nathaniel Withington, 
in his illness, the last two years. They will have 
their reward in heaven. 
Wednesday, April 23. Went to Dansville," Our 
Home." Visited the Advent people, and spoke a 
word of cheer to them. I put up at " Our Home," 
where I received so much benefit the last year, from 
the health agencies of Dr. J. C. Jackson. it was 
like a new birth to life and health, which under a 
severe test I find reliable and permanent. My son 
William is now here, under treatment for epilepsy, 
and is doing well. Among all the health institu-
tions I have visited I think, all things considered, 
" Our Home" is among the very best. 
Thursday, April 24. This A. M., after reading 
and prayer by Dr. Jackson, he invited me to occupy 
the time fur the usual lecture. I did so. And 
though I could not give a scientific lecture, yet I 
could and did give an experimental one ; in which 
I showed the patients how I recovered my health in 
this " Our Home." It was simply by obeying the 
laws of life and health, with faith in God and na-
ture, without drugs and poisons. They had only to 
be of good cheer, and hope in God, in the use of the 
health agencies in force here, to get well. Bidding 
them adieu, at 9 A. M. I took the conveyance to 
Conesus, and put up with Father Jenna. Preached 
in the evening to a full audience ; and much inter- 
est was manifested on the subject of the time and 
signs of the near coming of the Lord. 
Eriday, April 25. Took leave of Father Jenna 
and wife, two aged and faithful pilgrims, who, like 
Simeon and Anna of old, are "looking fur redemp-
tion in Israel," soon to come ; and stepped into the 
car fur Rochester. Here I called on my old and 
steadfast friend Carlos Dutton and family, and

• 
DEAR BRO. BLISS : - I also am a reader of the 
Herald, although only for a short time. It is a 
great blessing to hear from brethren and sisters in 
Christ who are looking for the return of the king in 
his beauty, who shall change this vile body and 
fashion it after his most glorious body, when this 
old earth shall be made more beautiful than Adam 
ever saw. It cheers my heart when I think the 
time so nigh. When ye shall hear of wars and ru-
mors of wars, and all these things, then know it is 
near. And that day shall not come except there 
come a falling away first. It seems to me there 
never was a time since the antediluvian world when 
so many were at ease in Zion as at the present mo-
ment, that so many were slain witnesses by the way-
side. May the cry be so plain through the Herald, 
that the end is near, that some may awake and put 
on their beautiful garments for the return of the 
bridegroom. 
Arm of the Lord, awake, awake ! 
The terrors of the Lord display ; 
Out of their sins the nations shake, 
Bear their vain confidence away. 
Yours, etc., AMANDA TRUAX.

BRO. Buss - I was much pleased with Mr. 
Scott's argument on Revelation and Chronology, as 
published in the Herald of June 21. He has placed 
the glad tidings of the kingdom of God in its true 
light, and about the time of the coming of our Lord 
to deliver from death and mortality every true be-

of every expecting child of God.

From Bro. 0. Rockwell. 
BRo. Bras - Last Sabbath was an eventful day 
with us. While some were visiting and passing the 
Lord's day in their various ways of pleasure, a con-
gregation convened at our place of worship. After 
sermon and Sabbath School we attended to the or-
dinance of baptism, when four happy souls were bu-
ried with Christ, thus manifesting deadness to the 
world and their having arisen to newness of life. It 
was truly cheering to see those disciples follow in 
the footsteps of Christ. As we were returning, we 
learned that a man was drowned a short distance 
from where we baptized. We hastened to the spot, 
where we found a collection of people. They soon 
drew the man and horse out of the water. Both 
were dead. He was a young man, a resident of 
Fairfield, Chester Burke. As we turned from that 
sad scene we thought, What a representation of the 
wicked. He was told repeatedly that the bridge 
was gone. Ile gave no heed, rushed on, and was 
suddenly destroyed. The greater part who witness-
ed that scene are daily acting still more unwisely,in 
that they being often reproved are rushing thought-
lessly on, making their own destruction sure. 
The Lord is with us. Some are being reclaimed. 
One man, sixty-two years of age, a Universalist,has 
laid aside all former prejudices,receiving Christ with 
simplicity, as a child. Give God glory.

Bro. H. has been an invalid for more than six

millennial advent and reign of Christ some twelve 
years since, in which faith he lived and died. A 
wife, one child, mother, and two tisters remain to 
mourn. But he is with Christ, where he will re-

Memoirs of William Miller. 
By the author of the Time of the End-excepting 
the first three chapters, which were by the pen of 
another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. 
Few men have been more diversely regarded than 
William Miller. While those who knew him, es-
teemed him as a man of more than ordinary mental 
power, as a cool, sakacious and honest reasoner, an 
humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection-
ate friend, and a man of great moral and social 
worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin-
ions of him anything but complimentary to his in-
telligence and sanity. It was therefore the desigt 
of this volume to show him to the world as he we 
-to present him as he appeared in his daily wal 
and conversation, to trace the manner in which h 
arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into h; 
closet and places of retirement, to unfold the worls 
ings of his mind through a long series of years, an 
scan closely his motives. These things are shown 
him by large extracts from his unstudied priva. 
correspondence, by his published writings, by na: 
rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pul 
lie labors in the various places he visited, a fu 
presentation of his views, with the manner of the, 
conception, and various reminiscences of interest i 
connection with his life. 
The revivals of religion which attended his labor 
are here testified to by those who participated i 
them ; and hundreds of souls, it is believed,will ev, 
regard him as a means, under God, of their conve 
sion. The attention given to his arguments cans, 
many minds, in all denominations, to change the 
views of the millennial state; and as the christie 
public learn to discriminate between the actual p, 
sition of Mr. Miller, and that which prejudice la 
conceived that he occupied, his memory will 1 
much more justly estimated. The following noti 
of this volume is from the "Theological and Lite. 
ary Journal." 
This volume is worthy of a perusal by all wl 
ake an interest in the great purposes God has r 
vealed respecting the future government of t1 
world. If the first chapters descend to a detail 
incidents that are of little moment, and betray 
disposition to exaggerate and over-paint, the ma: 
portion of the memoir, which is occupied with tI 
history of his religious life, is not chargeable wii 
that fault, and presents an interesting account 
his studies, his opinions, his lectures, his disaj 
pointments, and his death, and frees him from mar 
of the injurious imputations with which he was a 
sailed during his last years. He was a man of 
orons sense, ardent, resolute, and upright ; he hr 
the fullest faith in the Scriptures as the word 
God, and gave the most decided evidence that I 
understood and felt the power of their great truth

gogue, he was disinterested ; his great aim in h

 His d 
meanor, on the confutation of his calculations r 
specting the advent, was such as might be expect, 
from an upright man. Instead of resorting to su' 
terfuges to disguise his defeat, he frankly confess' 
his error, and while he lost faith in himself, retai 
ed his trust undiminished in God, and endeavor, 
to guard hie followers from the dangers to whi, 
they were exposed, of relapsing into unbelief, , 
losing their interest in the great doctrine of Christ

w HITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step by way or 
progress in the healing art. It is adapted to all the 
purposes of a family Salve. It effectually cures piles, 
wounds, bruises, sprains, cuts, chilblains, corns, burns, 
fever-sores, scrofulous humors, erysipelas, salt-rheum, 
king's evil, rheumatism, spinal difficulties, chafings in 
warm weather, Ac. Ac., and is believed by many experi-
enced and competent judges to be the best co -nbination of 
medicinal ingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of the best phy-
sicians of the various schools use it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, chafings, (ire., and also for sore teats on 
cows. It cures felons. It cures warts. 
From Mr. Morris Fuller, of North Creek, N. Y. : "We 
find your Golden Salve to be good for everything that we 
have tried it for. Among other things for which we have 
used it, is a bad case of 'scald head' of our little girl. 
Its effect in this case was also favorable." 
"We like your Golden Salve very much in this place. 
Among other things I knew a lady who was cured of a 
very bad case of sore eyes." Walter S. Plummer, Lakl 
Village, N. II. 
Mrs. Glover, East Merrimack street, Lowell, was cured 
of a bad case of piles by the use of one box of the Salvo 
Mr. Farrington, a wealthy merchant and manufacturer 
Lowell, was relieved of piles which had afflicted him 
for many years, and remarked to a friend that it was worth 
a hundred dollars a box for piles. 
Miss Harriet Morrill, of East Kingston, N. H., says : "I 
have been afflicted with piles for over twenty years. The 
last seven years I have been a great sufferer. And though 
I never expect to be well, yet to be relieved as I am from 
day to day by the use of your Golden Salve, fills my heart 
with gratitude." 
From Mr. J. 0. Merriam, Tewksbury, Mass.: "I have 
a large milk farm. I have used a great deal of your Gol-
den Salve for sore teats on my cows. I have used many 
other kinds of salve. Yours is the best I ever saw. I 
have also used it for sprains and scratches on my horses. 
It cures them in a short time. I recommend it to all who 
keep cows or horses." 
From Dr. Geo. Pierce, Lowell : " Your Golden Salve is 
good. It will have a great sale." 
From Dr. W. S. Campbell, New Britain, Conn. : " Yont 
Golden Salve is a great thing for chilblains. I have also 
used it in afflicting cases of salt rheum, erysipelas, and 
sore nipples. Its effect was, a speedy and permanent cure." 
Dr. Bliss, of Brunswick, Me., says : " I have several 
friends who have been cured of scrofulous humors by the 
Golden Salve. You may ecommend it from me as a val-
uable Salve." 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-
den Salve was applied, it relieved the pain in a short time, 
and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."-
Mrs. Lucinda A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. H. 
Mr. II. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer, 
Marion, Ill., says, "Every person that uses the Golden 
Salve testifies favorably." He has also published a list of 
names in his paper, of persons cured of wounds, sores, hu-
mors, rheumatism, Sm., and gives the public reference to 
them ; who, he says, are among the first citizens of the 
place. 
THE GOLDEN SALVE-A GREAT HEALING REMEDY.-It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved-a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved-
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; also another of an old nran, 
who had a sore on his foot for twenty years-cured in a 
few weeks. Our citizens will not be slow in getting at its 
merits, and will herald it over the land.-Boston Herald. 
Boston, July 12, 1859. Bro. 1Vhitten : I have used your 
Golden Salve in my family, and I am acquainted with a 
large number of families also who have used it ; and I 
have reason to believe that it is really what you recom. 
mend it to be.

Bao. Bross - Times are very hard out here. 
Money is very scarce. Everything farmers have to 
sell is very low, and everything we have to buy is 
very high. Satan has a vast army in the field, and 
men's hearts are failing them through fear of com-
ing events. But, glory to God, I feel the prospects 
brighten, and can almost see the day dawn and the 
morning star rising.

RECEIPTS, 
UP TO TUESDAY, JULY 1. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 1075 was the closing 
number of 1861 ; No. 1101 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1862; and .1Vo 1127 is to the 
close of 1862. Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address — the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is (Erected. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to give 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town and office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may be others at the same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the same family will write res-
pecting it,without stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forgot even to sign 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent. 
Those mailing, or sending money to the office by other 
persons, unless they have a receipt forwarded to them, are 
requested to see that they are properly credited below. And 
if they are not, within a reasonable time, to notify the office 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respecting, and to send money himself, for his own paper 
than to send by an agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-office right, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in small 
sums, is less likely to be lost than when sent in larger ones, 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage, merely 
to accommodate the one who sends.
