THE SECOND ADVENT. 
EY 1LONZO LEWIS. 
Age after age had rolled away, 
The lamp of truth grew dim; 
The cup of sin, increasing aye, 
Was filling to the brim ; 
'How could I come to such as they ? 
Not mine their vesper hymn. 
Age after age still passed away; 
I looked for truth and love ; 
Few were the hearts to heaven to pray, 
Few sought for light above ; 
The Spirit's Same was quenched alway, 
Failing cold hearts to move. 
I sent my servants oft of yore ; 
How many have ye slain ? 
Ask of the hill-tops died with gore ! 
Ask of the purple main ! 
From forest cane to temple floor, 
Their red blood flowed like rain ! 
And are ye ready now for me ? 
Burn not your lamps yet dim ? 
Will ye again prepare the tree ? 
Again extend the limb ? 
I sent my messenger to see—
How have ye treated hint ? 
When shall I cease for sin to groan ? 
Gold echo answers— When ? 
Pm weary still on Heaven'S throne, 
Waiting the thtohNhtsof men—
When shall I come to claim my own ? 
When earth is ready—Tani ! 
(From the London " Journal of Prophecy.") 
The Church Saved by Hope. 
(Continued from our last.) 
Thus the Christian (the divinely-fashioned 
Christian) is at once in his trial and in his hope 
a transcript,—faintly enough deciphered, no 
doubt,—of the pattern, Christ Jesus. He who 
was " tempted in all things even as we are," 
who " bore our griefs and carried our sorrows," 
realized too vividly the value of his hope, and 
sympathized too intensely with his struggling 
" brethren "—to leave the divine secret unveiled 
or unurged. A like heavenly course can be 
sustained only by a like heavenly hope. Know-
ing well the invariableness of the sequence, he 
has labored—anxiously labored—to link the 
two terms so closely that whoso runs may read. 
Take two illustrative specimens. (1.) The 
first is in Rev. 3:21. It is the closing appeal 
to the faithful remnant in the last of the seven 
churches. " To him that overcometh, says he, 
" will I grant to sit with me on my throne, even 
as I also overcame, and am set down with my 
Father in his throne." The words are un-
speakably touching. Fresh, as it were, from 
his own martyr-ordeal, and tenderly regarding 
the " little flock " whom he has left behind him 
in an unfriendly world, as well as all " them 
also who should believe on him through their 
word," he cannot but point them to the same 
" light " (2 Pet. 1:19) on which his own eye 
was set whilst he traversed the " dark place." 
The light which gilded his horizon we have al-
ready analyzed. The light which must gild 
theirs is identical. It is the hoped-for dawn 
and glory of " that day." (2.) The second spe-
cimen is in Heb. 12:1, 2. Paul is dealing with 
the realities of the living martyr's course ; he, 
wants to stimulate his own and his fellow-mar-
tyrs, afflicted, tempest-tossed souls to earnest-
ness and patient endurance. What is the mo-
tive at once suggested ? No other than " that 
blessed hope." And to make the argument pal-
pable, he appeals to the pattern—the pattern of 
him, " who, for the joy set before him, endured 
the cross, despising the shame, and is set down 
at the right hand of the throne of God." His 
" joy " we have already seen to be centred on 
the era of his Second Coming, inasmuch as 
only in the multiform work of that era shall he 
be fully glorified as his Father's King. The 
" joy " of those who " looked unto Jesus " as 
their pattern, must of course be centred on the 
same blessed era, not on death, or any event 
short of that era. So the latter " joy " is ex-
pressly defined by the apostle elsewhere. In 2 
Tim. 4:6-8, we find him personally at the very 
close of his course : " The time of my depart-
ure," says he, " is at hand ; I have fought a 
good fight " (the good fight, literally ;—it is the 
identical idea of Heb. 12:1, the word rendered 
" race " there and " fight " here being the same 
word) ; " I have finished my course ; I have 
kept the faith." And what remains ? The 
fulfilling of his joy—the receiving of his crown. 
But when is the coronation era ? Not at his 
departure, now impending so imminently. No, 
he overleaps that event ; and he overleaps, 
moreover, the parenthesis—be it the parenthesis 
of a year, or of a century, or of twenty centu-
ries—which divides him from another era, the 
era of his Master's Advent. It is on " that day " 
that the crown shall be given : it is on " that 
day " that the Father's King shall be com-
pletely- glorified in associating all who have 
" overcome " into actual fellowship with him-
self in his throne and in his power over the na-
tions. And so, in counselling the living mar-
tyr to " look unto Jesus," as he hastens and 
struggles on in his course, he virtually counsels 
him to wait for " that day "—to " love " (even 
as Jesus loves) " his appearing." 
Such we apprehend to be the true rationale 
of this " blessed hope." To some the argument 
may seem impalpable and transcendental,--too 
remote from self, and, therefore, too feeble to be 
of value as a motive-power. Brainerd tells of a 
pe r,pd in hiss, ,!;,hrty tie 
, pro- 
nounced upon such a hope ic it has a period 
outwardly of many duties, many strivings, many 
prayers ; but its inner history is written by him-
self at an after-season thus :—" I used to charge 
my duties with sin and imperfection ; but this 
was only on account of the wanderings and 
vain thoughts attending them, and not because 
I had no regard to God in them; for this I 
thought I had. But when I saw evidently that 
I had regard to nothing but self-interest, then 
they appeared a vile mockery of God, self-wor-
ship, and a continual course of lies." Brainerd, 
however, lived to be another man : he was 
" born again ;" he was " renewed in the spirit 
of his mind." And what is his inner history 
now ? " There opened to my soul," he writes, 
" a new inward apprehension or view of God, 
such as I never had before, nor anything which 
had the least resemblance of it My soul 
rejoiced with joy unspeakable, to see such a 
God, such a glorious Divine being ; and I was 
inwardly pleased and satisfied that he should be 
God over all for ever and ever Thus 
God, I trust, brought me to a hearty disposition 
to exalt him and set him on the throne, and 
principally and ultimately to aim at his honor 
and glory as King of the universe." What a 
talisman to such a man is the " hope " of an 
era, when this God shall take the kingdom and 
reign " all in all !" To Brainerd, the prosper-
ous professor, what hope more vapid or intan-
gible ! To Brainerd, the Spirit-led Christian, 
it is the very pole-star of his course. That the 
Lord's " appearing " is introductory to the era, 
elevates that " appearing " into the watchword 
of the Church's " hope." 
A recent traveller has recorded a scene which 
he witnessed near Geneva, when, one misty 
morning in autumn, he. ascended the mountain 
range of the Grand Saleve, and, after climbing 
the rocky zigzag in the face of the mountain 
amidst a fog so impenetrable that he could see 
nothing and feel nothing besides, suddenly his 
head rose above the level of the fog into the 
clear air, and into the broad dazzling sunshine 
thrown back from the face of Mont Blanc and 
the vast range of snow-clad mountains. " No 
language," writes the traveller, " could describe 
the extraordinary sublimity and beauty of the 
view." An ocean of mist, as smooth as a chal- 
cedony, lay over the whole lower world. Stand- 
ing on the overhanging crags, he could hear the 
chime of bells, the hum of busy labor, and the 
lowing of cattle buried in the mist, and faintly 
coming up to him from the fields and villages. 
" When you go down into the mist again," he 
adds, " and leave behind you the beautifubsky, 
a clear bracing atmosphere, the bright sun, and 
the snow-shining mountains, it is like passing 
from heaven to earth, from the brightness and 
serenity of the one to the darkness and cares of 
the other." It is one who has visited such a 
scene in the spiritual world,—one who has as-
cended (it may be, toilsomely) from amidst the 
fogs of this lower earth into those " heavenlies," 
where it is his privilege to behold the glories of 
the Lamb " standing- in the midst of the throne," 
—it is such a man who, though still locally a 
dweller in the mist, is found expressing, in the 
passage from which the motto of our article is 
taken (Rom. 8,) the hope and longing expecta-
tion befitting a child of the mountain sunshine. 
The scene immediately around is indeed very 
dark. There are " the deeds of the body " 
(ver. 13,) demanding crucifixion ; there are " the 
sufferings of this present time," or season (ver. 
18,) inflicted by an ungodly world ; there is 
" the bondage of corruption " (ver. 21 ;) there 
is " the whole creation groaning and travailing 
in pain together " (ver. 22 :) not only so, there 
is even he who " has the first-fruits of the 
Spirit" " groaning within himself" (ver. 23.) 
But dark as the scene is below, it is all bright-
ness on the mountain. There is " the glory " 
(ver. 18) behind the mist. The " manifestation 
of the sons of God," the " redemption of the 
body," the release of " the creature " from 
" vanity," and of " the whole creation " from 
that crushing load of ungodliness under which 
it " groans,"—these are the elements of " the 
" ' .11 ory is already (to his ,eye) 
sprea rigni perspective away in the 
mountain-scene. A brief hour or two, and the 
lifting of the misty curtain shall reveal it in all 
its gladdening brilliancy. Knowing this, the 
man, meanwhile, is of good courage. He is 
sorely harassed, it is true ; he groans within 
himself, he is a living martyr; but-he rejoices 
notwithstanding, he waits for the redemption, 
he looks for that blessed hope. " We are 
saved," writes the apostle, " by hope." 
" But may not I," inquires some earnest man, 
(for only with such, not with the mere cavilling 
disputant, have we any dealing in this argu-
ment) " may not I cherish, and be sustained by, 
this " hope," though rejecting the doctrine of 
the pre-millennial Advent?" 
We go to the Word. Let the Holy Ghost be 
heard. In the chapter before us, the reader 
will remark, two prominent objects are specified, 
whereon the " hope " in question is set, viz : 1. 
" The redemption of the body ;" and 2. The re-
demption of " the creation." The " hope " 
must, of course, derive its distinctive shape and 
form from the mode in which this two-fold re-
demption is expected to be attained. If it shall 
appear that this mode is no other than the 
Lord's personal Advent, the " hope " and the 
Advent must become indissolubly linked. Now, 
has the Lord spoken decisively respecting the 
mode and season of the "redemption ?" We 
think he has, though we can afford only a pass-
ing illustration. 
I. " The redemption of the body." This ob-
ject of the believer's hope is more comprehen-
sive than at first sight it might seem. It is the 
indispensable preliminary to his coming reign. 
In what way ? At the Fall, the body fell under 
the curse, being handed over to Satan as the 
executioner of God's righteous sentence. In 
virtue of Christ's work the curse is lifted off : 
the body, as well as the soul, of each saint is, 
by right, his : as " He. that was dead and is 
alive," He holds " the keys of death." But 
though holding the keys (and himself risen as 
" the first-fruits,") He has not yet opened the 
prison-house : " the redemption " is not yet an 
accomplished fact. And till the body is " re-
deemed," the saint is not glorified, nor is Christ 
fully glorified in him: Now what is the mode 
of deliverance and its seasela? Not death, com-
mon as it is to hear the saint's dissolution so 
regarded. Paul expressly disallows such a 
theory. " We that are in this tabernacle " (he 
says, 2 Cor. 5:4) " do groan, being burdened : 
not for that we would be unclothed,"—that 
(viz., death) were but a small deliverance com-
paratively, relieve him though it would from the 
" law in his members " warring against the law 
of his mind,—" but clothed upon,"—i. e., clothed 
with the spiritual body : and why ?—" that 
mortality may be swallowed up of life,"--in 
other words, that Christ may become, not by 
right only, but in fact, entire conqueror over 
death. The idea is fully evolved in 1 Cor. 15. 
The " clothing upon " there opens up in full 
glory. The apostle feels as if translated, for 
the moment, to the very scene. The saints al-
ready " asleep " are seen emerging from their 
chrysalis retirement into the adornment of the 
" incorruptible." Blessed consummation ! " 0 
death !" exclaims the apostle, as by faith he be-
holds the wondrous spectacle, " 0 death, where 
is thy sting ? 0 grave, where is thy victory ?" 
And, as he sings, there stands before him the 
person of Immanuel (for, at ver. 23, He is ex-
pressly said to be " come,")—his foot planted 
on the neck of " the last enemy,"—in his hand 
the key of the now opened prison-house (opened 
as regards all the saints thus partaking in " the 
first resurrection,")--ewhilst there beams in his 
face -a complacency unutterable as, with the 
saints now around Him, He lifts his eye to-
wards his Father, because now at length is 
" brought to pass the saying that is written, 
Death is swallowed up in victory." We turn 
next to the passage (Isa. 25,) where " the say-
ing " thus " brought to pass " is " written," and 
what do we find ? Why, the millennial jubi-
lee ; for such is the interpretation universally, 
we believe, put upon the passage. And what 
are- the Characteristics of the jubilee ? An event 
has occurri2,.of which the only description here 
given is, that " death is swallowed up in victo-
ry." (Ver. 8.) What is that event ? A spir-
itual revival, say some ; a resurrection of souls, 
a Pentecostal effusion of the Spirit:. No, saith 
the Holy Ghost expressly, in this passage in 1 
Cor. 15; it is the saints' literal resurrection, it 
is the mortal putting on immortality, it is the 
long-looked-for " redemption of the body." And, 
of course, this implies another characteristic of 
the jubilee to be the Lord's personal presence. 
Such we might gather to be the import of the 
song of the happy saints in that day (ver. 9,)—
" Lo, this is our God, we have waited for him," 
&c.; although, if the inference were denied, 
and the presence affirmed to he simply the pres-
ence of God (on an unusual scale) by his Spirit, 
we should not, from the mere tenor of the song, 
press for an admission of a pre-millennial per-
sonal Advent. But here again the Divine tes-
timony, in the parallel passage, is positive and 
express. The era has been introduced (1 Cor. 
15:23) by the arrival of the man Christ Jesus. 
It is He who has " swallowed up death in vic-
tory," who has " wiped away tears from all 
faces." 
2. The redemption of the Creation is the 
other prominent object specified (in Rom. 8,) on 
which the " hope " of the Church is set. This 
is termed in Eph. 1:14, " the redemption of the 
purchased possession." Here also, as in the 
redemption of the body, a larger scene is em-
braced than the first glance might indicate. At 
the Fall, the earth, as well as the body, par-
took of the curse, Appalling curse ! Not only 
was the ground cursed, but " the strong man, 
armed," took possession of its living inhabitants. 
The usurper became its god, and benighted man 
became at once his adorer, and his slave. " All 
these things," said the prince on a memorable 
occasion, 
will I give thee." But, by " the 
sure decree," it had long since passed out of his 
hands. It was given in covenant to the Son of 
man ; Christ has paid the stipulated purchase-
money; now it is his by right, as his Father's 
King. The " possession," however, though 
" purchased," is not vet delivered, or " re-
deemed." It still is under bondage : " the 
whole creation still groaneth."
. 
 Its laws and 
its governments and its people still symbolize 
with the Apostate. Nothing is more trying to 
the believer than this. It grieves him to the 
heart to see his Father thus disowned, and the 
Son, who is its rightful King, set at nought. 
But he knows it shall not be always so. Ano-
ther and a brighter era is at hand. In the hope 
of that era, he lifts up his head, knowing that 
his " redemption draweth nigh." 
Now the question is, How is this era intro- 
THE ADVENT HERALD. 
82 
duced ? A single illustration will answer the 
question. In Isa. 65, the renewing of the earth 
is announced. A scene is pictured, precisely 
the counterpart of the scene over which the 
Church now groans. We have the millennial 
glory, with its variegated wonders of a restored 
Jerusalem, a rejoicing Israel, a multitudinous 
assemblage of risen saints, and a generation 
(perhaps successive generations) of new con-
verts. And in the foreground of the picture we 
have a renovated earth,—" Behold, I create 
new heavens and a new earth " (ver. 17,)—a 
renovation, not spiritual, but literal,—a fact set-
tled unmistakeably by the Holy Ghost in 2 Pet. 
3, where this very promise is quoted (ver. 13) 
and explained, and where the mode of renova-
tion is stated to be a baptism by fire, even as at 
the Deluge " the heavens and the earth, which 
then were," had been baptized by water, the 
latter being a mere rehearsal, though on a scale 
less grand by far, of the former. But the Di-
vine Worker, so prominent in the scene,—re-
joicing so gladsomely in his workmanship, whilst 
He stamps it so emphatically to be his," Behold, 
I create " (Isa. 65:17,)—and, as if all the tears 
and groans of the creation and of the Church 
were at the instant concentred in his sympa-
thetic heart, adding the consolatory words, 
" and the former shall not be remembered, nor 
come into mind " (for so sore had been the bur-
den, that even the very memory of it might, 
through a fear of its possible return, throw a 
shade over the joy,) " but be ye glad, and re- 
joice for ever in that which I create,"—Who is 
this ? Not the Spirit, but the now " revealed " 
Immanuel. So affirms the Scripture in the 
above passage of Peter's Second Epistle. Christ 
himself is personally come. To that glorious 
event the earth's redemption is there insepara- 
bly joined ; and though the redemption goes on 
progressively, it being only at the end of the 
era that the usurper-chieftain (though pre- 
viously chained during the millennium) is finally 
overthrown, and all his agents, whether devils 
or men, are cast into the lake of fire ; yet the in- 
stant the Lord " appears," the era is commenced, 
and earth is virtually his : the shout of " a 
king" is in the Church's midst,—He " rejoicing 
over them with joy, resting in his love, joying 
over them with singing" (Zeph, 3:17,)—and 
they, as each in succession sweeps the strings 
of his golden harp, exclaiming, " I will sing unto 
the Lord as long as I live ; I will sing praise to 
my God while I have any being Let 
the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and 
let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the 
Lord, 0 my soul : praise ye the Lord."—Ps. 
104:33-35. 
Thus the twofold redemption—of the body 
and of the earth—is seen to be introduced by 
the Second Advent of Him who " of God is 
made unto us," not only " wisdom and right-
eousness and sanctification," but also, and em-
phatically, " redemption." But till this twofold 
redemption be accomplished, the Church is re-
presented (Rom. 8,) as still groaning, longing, 
hoping ; so that if the Lord's coming be post-
poned until after the millennium, the groaning 
of the Church, as well as the groaning of the 
Creation, continues unabated almost, through-
out that long and blissful jubilee. We see no 
way of avoiding this conclusion. Either the 
twofold redemption must be accomplished with-
out the Lord's personal presence—a position 
which none, we think, will, in the face of such 
passages as those quoted, venture to maintain ; 
or else, during the entire millennium, there 
shall be heard on this earth no other music save 
the " groaning " of a burdened Church and of a 
burdened creation, waiting for the " redemption " 
at its close. Let either horn of the dilemma be 
selected, we are unable to discover any method 
of escape from the one or the other, except by 
admitting the Pre-millennial Advent. That, 
however, makes all plain ; and that, moreover, 
gives its comforting and stimulating cogency to 
the " hope by which the Church is " saved." 
For can it be doubted that a hope so founded is 
a hope more constraining by far than a hope 
which looks away into the dim distance of a 
post-millennial era ? The latter hope may not 
be without its own power ; but if the Holy 
Ghost have furnished a better and a mightier, 
is the race so easy, the conflict so slight, the 
martyrdom so insignificant, that the Christian 
can afford to rest contented with the less excel-
lent way ?—(To be continued.) 
The New Creation. 
BY JOHN WESLEY. 
[We commend the following extracts to the 
followers of WESLEY. That good man was a 
firm believer in the doctrine of the Advent ; but 
were he now living, the Methodists would be 
obliged to expel him, close his mouth respecting 
it, or rescind their resolutions passed at the 
Maine Conference.] 
" Behold, I make all things new."—Rev. 21:5. 
What a strange scene is here opened to our 
view ! Not a glimpse of what is here revealed 
was ever seen in the heathen world. Not only 
the modern, barbarous, uncivilized heathen have 
not the least conception of it ; but it was equal- 
ly unknown to the refined, polished heathen of 
Greece and Rome. And it is almost as little 
thought of or nnderstood by the generality of 
Christians : I mean, not barely those that are 
nominally such ; that have the form of godli-
ness without the power; but even those that in 
a measure fear God, and study to work right-
eousness. 
It must be allowed, that after all the research-
es we can make, still, our knowledge of the 
great truth, which is delivered to us in these 
words, is exceedingly short and imperfect. As 
this is a point of mere revelation, beyond the 
reach of all our natural faculties, we cannot 
penetrate far into it, nor form any adequate con-
ception of it. But it may be an encouragement. 
to those who have, in any degree, tasted of the 
power of the world to come, to go as far as they 
can go ; interpreting scripture by scripture, ac-
cording to the analogy of faith. 
The apostle, caught up in the visions of God, 
tells us, in the first verse of the chapter, " I saw 
a new heaven and a new earth," and adds (v. 
5) : " He that sat upon the throne said, [I be-
lieve the only word which he is said to utter 
throughout the whole book,] Behold, I make all 
things new." 
Very many commentators entertain a strange 
opinion, that this relates only to the present 
state of things; and gravely tell us, that the 
words are to be referred to the flourishing state 
of the church, which commenced after the hea-
then persecutions. Nay, some of them have 
discovered, that all which the apostle speaks 
concerning the " new heavens and the new 
earth" was fulfilled when Constantine the 
Great poured in riches and honors upon the 
Christians. What a miserable way is this of 
making void the whole counsel of God, with re-
gard to all that grand chain of events, in refer-
ence to his church, yea, and to all mankind, 
from the time John was in Patmos unto the 
end of the world ! Nay, the line of this prophe-
cy reaches farther still ; it does not end with 
the present world, but shows us the things that 
will come to pass when this world is no more. 
For, 
Thus saith the Creator and Governor of the 
universe : " Behold, I make all things new "—
all which are included in that expression of the 
apostle — " A new heaven and a new earth." 
A new heaven : the original word in Genesis, 
(chap. 1) is in the plural number : and indeed 
this is the constant language of Scripture ; not 
heaven, but heavens. Accordingly, the ancient 
Jewish writers are accustomed to reckon three 
heavens ; in conformity to which the apostle 
Paul speaks of his being caught " up into the 
third heaven." It is this, the third heaven, 
which is usually supposed to be the more im-
mediate residence of God ; so far as any resi- 
dence can be ascribed to his omnipresent Spirit, 
who pervades and fills the whole universe. It 
is here, (if we speak after the manner of men,) 
that the Lord sitteth upon his throne, surround-
ed by angels and archangels, and by all his 
flaming ministers. 
All the elements (taking that word in the 
common sense, for the principles of which all 
natural beings are compounded,) will be new 
indeed—entirely changed as to their qualities, 
although not as to their nature. Fire is at 
present the general destroyer of all things un-
der the sun, dissolving all things that come 
within the sphere of its action, and reducing 
them to their primitive atoms ; but no sooner 
will it have performed its last great office of 
destroying the heavens and the earth, (whether 
you mean thereby one system only, or the 
whole fabric of the universe ; the difference be-
tween one and millions of worlds being nothing 
before the great Creator,) when, I say, it has 
done this, the destructions wrought by fire will 
come to a perpetual end. It will destroy no 
more—it will consume no more—it will forget 
its power to burn, which it possesses only du-
ring the present state of things—and be as 
harmless in the new heavens and earth as it 
is now in the bodies of men and other animals, 
and the substance of trees and flowers, in all 
which, as late experiments show, large quanti-
ties of ethereal fire are lodged, if it be not ra-
ther an essential component part of every ma-
terial under the sun. But it will, probably, re-
tain its vivifying powers, though divested of its 
power to destroy. 
It has been already observed, that the calm, 
placid air will be no more disturbed by storms 
and tempests. There will be no more meteors 
with their horrid glare, affrighting the poor 
children of men. May, we not add, (though at 
first it may sound like a paradox,) that there 
will be no more rain. It is observable that 
there was none in paradise ; a circumstance 
which Moses particularly mentions (Gen. 2:5, 
6) : " The Lord God had not caused it to rain 
upon the earth. But there went up a mist from 
the earth," which then covered up the abyss of 
waters, " and watered the whole face of the 
ground " with moisture sufficient for all the pur-
poses of vegetation. We have all reason to 
believe 'that the case will be the same when 
paradise is restored. Consequently, there will 
be no clouds or fogs, but one bright refulgent 
day. Much less will there be any poisonous 
damps, or pestilential blasts. There will be no 
sirocco in Italy ; no parching or suffocating 
winds in Arabia; no keen northeast winds in 
our own country, 
" Shattering the graceful looks of yon fair trees;" 
but only pleasing, healthful breezes, 
" Fanning the earth with odoriferous wings." 
But what a change will the element of water 
undergo, when all things are made new ! It 
will be in every part of the world, clear and 
limpid; pure from all unpleasing or unhealthy 
mixtures ; rising here and there in crystal foun-
tains, to refresh and adorn the earth "with li-
quid lapse of murmuring stream." For, un-
doubtedly, as there were in paradise, there will 
be various rivers gently gliding along, for the 
use and pleasure of both man and beast. But 
the inspired writer has expressly declared, 
" There will be no more sea."—Rev. 21:1. We 
have reason to believe, that at the beginning of 
the world, when God said, " Let the waters un-
der the heaven be gathered together unto one 
place, and let the dry land appear," (Gen. 1.9,) 
the dry land spread over the face of the water, 
and covered it on every side. And so it seems 
to have done, till, in order to the general deluge, 
which God had determined to bring upon the 
earth at once, " the windows of heaven were 
opened, and the fountains of the great deep 
broken up." But the sea will then retire within 
its primitive bounds, and appear on the surface 
of the earth no more. Neither, indeed, will 
there be any more need of the sea. For, either, 
as the ancient poet supposes, 
" Omnis feret omnia tellus "— 
every part of the earth will naturally produce 
whatever its inhabitants want — or all mankind 
will procure, what the whole earth affords, by a 
much easier and readier conveyance. For all 
the inhabitants of the earth, our Lord informs 
us, will then be equal to angels : on a level 
with them in swiftness, as well as strength : so 
that they can, quick as thought, transport them-
selves, or whatever they want, from one side of 
the globe to the other. 
And what will the general produce of the 
earth be ? Not thorns, briers, or thistles ; not 
any useless or fetid weed; not any poisonous, 
hurtful, or unpleasant plant ; but every one that 
can be conducive, in any wise, either to our use 
or pleasure. Hr far beyond all that the. most 
lively iniagination is now able to conceive ! 
We shall no more regret the loss of the terres-
tial paradise, or sigh at that well devised des-
cription of our great poet :— 
" Then shall this mount 
Of paradise by might of waves, be moved 
Out his place, pushed by the horned flood, 
With all its verdure spoiled and trees adrift, 
Down the great river to the opening gulf, 
And there take root, an island salt and bare." 
For all the earth shall be a more beautiful para-
dise than Adam ever saw. 
Such will be the state of the new earth with 
regard to the meaner, the inanimate parts of it. 
But great as this change will be, it is nothing 
in comparison of that which will take place 
throughout all animated nature. In the living 
part of the creation were seen the most deplora-
ble effects of Adam's apostacy. The whole 
animated creation, whatever has life, from levia-
than to the smallest mite, was thereby made 
subject to such vanity, as the inanimate crea-
tures could not be. They were subject to that 
fell monster DEATH, the conqueror of all that 
breathe. They were made subject to its fore-
runner, pain, in its ten thousand forms ; al-
though " God made not death, neither hath he 
pleasure in the death of any living." How 
many millions of creatures in the sea, in the 
air, and on every part of the earth, can now no 
otherwise preserve their lives than by taking 
away the lives of others ; by tearing in pieces 
and devouring their poor, innocent, unresisting 
fellow creatures ! Miserable lot of such innu-
merable multitudes, who, insignificant as they 
seem, are the offspring of one common Father : 
the creatures of the same God of love ! It is 
probably not only two-thirds of the animal crea-
tion, but ninety-nine parts of a hundred are un-
der the necessity of destroying others, in order 
to preserve their own life ! But it shall not al-
ways be so. He that sitteth upon the throne 
will soon change the face of all things, and 
give a demonstrative proof to all his creatures, 
that " his mercy is over all his works." The 
horrid state of things which at present obtains, 
will soon be at an end. On the new earth no 
creature will kill or hurt, or give pain to any 
other. The scorpion will have no poisonous 
sting ; the adder no venomous teeth. The lion 
will have no claws to tear the lamb ; no teeth 
to grind his flesh and bones. Nay, no creature, 
no beast, bird, or fish, will have any inclination 
to hurt any one ; for cruelty will be far away, 
and savageness and fierceness be forgotten. So 
that violence shall be heard no more, neither 
wasting or destruction seen on the face of the 
earth. " The wolf shall dwell with the lamb," 
(the words may be literally as well as figura- 
tively understood) " and the leopard shall lie 
down with the kid ; they shall not hurt of des-
troy," from the rising up of the sun to the going 
down of the same, 
But the most glorious of all will be the 
change which will then take place on the poor, 
miserable children of men. These had fallen 
in many respects, as from a greater height, so 
into a lower depth, than any other part of the 
creation. But they shall hear a voice out of 
heaven, saying, " Behold, the tabernacle of God 
is with men : and he will dwell with them : 
and they shall be his people ; and God himself 
shall be their God."—Rev. 21:3, 4. Hence 
will arise an unmixed state of holiness and hap-
piness far superior to that which Adam enjoyed 
in Paradise. In how beautiful a manner is this 
described by the apostle : " 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 done away." As there will 
be no more death, and no more pain and sick-
ness preparatory thereto; as there will be no 
more grieving for or parting with friends ; so 
there will be no more sorrow or crying. Nay, 
but there will be a greater deliverance than all 
this; for there will be no more sin.—And to 
crown all, there will be a deep, an intimate, an 
uninterrupted union with God ; a constant com-
munion with the Father, and his son Jesus 
Christ, through the Spirit; a continual enjoy-
ment of the Godhead, and of all the creatures 
in him. 
The Millennium — 
THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE INTRODUCED. 
(Concluded.) 
From the passages of Scripture which have 
been given, it appears abundantly evident, that 
the Millennium is not to be introduced, as many 
expect, by the gradual increase of real religion 
till it fills the world, and brings all mankind un- 
der its influence. On the contrary, the great 
mass of mankind, at the time of its introduc-
tion, will be enemies to God, and will have 
reached a high pitch of wickedness, and will, 
perhaps, have nearly swallowed up the true 
church of Christ, and begun their song of tri- 
umph at its anticipated speedy extinction, when 
the Lord will suddenly appear for the deliver-
ance of his people, and the dismay and over- 
throw of his enemies. "As it was in the days 
of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the 
Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they 
married wives, they were given in marriage ; 
until the day that Noah entered into the ark ; 
and the flood came, and destroyed them all.— 
Likewise, also, as it was in the days of Lot ; 
they did eat, they drank, they bought, they 
sold, they planted, they builded ; but the same 
day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire 
and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them 
all ; even thus shall it be in the day when the 
Son of man is revealed." 
But I think it probable that some objections 
to this view of the subject may arise in the 
minds of some readers. Some will be ready 
to ask, Is not the present an age of benevolent 
efforts ; and are not great exertions making to 
spread the gospel both at home and abroad ? 
And does not success attend those efforts, to 
such a degree at least as to afford a rational 
prospect of the ultimate spread of the gospel 
throughout the world ? If any should conclude 
from this, that the opinion advanced in this es-
say cannot be true, I would ask them, what se-
curity there is for the continuance of these ef-
forts for any considerable period ? And I would 
ask, also, whether we do not often read state-
ments, in the addresses of the various benevolent 
institutions, which go to show, that, unless these 
efforts are continued, and greatly increased, they 
will not be sufficient to make any great and per-
manent impression upon the kingdom of dark-
ness, nor even sufficient to maintain the ground 
which Christianity now occupies If I mistake 
not, educational societies and theological semi-
naries are frequently informing us, that the in-
crease of ministers is not yet in such a ratio as, 
after deducting the diminutions by death, to 
keep up with the increase of population; so 
that, in reality, the supply is actually diminish-
ing. This I believe to be the fact. Bible so 
cieties are indeed increasing the supply of the 
word of God ; but the multiplication of copies 
is not necessarily and certainly connected with 
the proper use of them. Missionaries are in-
deed going forth, with encouraging prospects, 
to preach the gospel among the various heathen 
nations ; but their numbers bear a very small 
proportion to the numbers to be evangelized. I 
believe, indeed, that the gospel must be preached 
unto all nations before the end comes. But I 
think it not so clear that it will ever be done by 
such kind of means as are now in use. It may 
be necessary, in order to its accomplishment, 
that true Christians and faithful ministers 
should be compelled by persecution to flee for 
their lives, from those countries where the gos-
pel is now enjoyed, and seek refuge among those 
who are now heathen. Persecution had this ef-
fect in the apostolic age, when Stephen was put

barrenness and death ? Hard indeed must be 
our hearts, if we can look at a whole world go-
ing to destruction, and remain unaffected and 
inactive. 
Prison Room Inscriptions. 
"It is a curious subject to seek into the mo-
tives which impel men to write their names on 
the stones of their prison houses. Men of all 
ranks and characters do it --the noble in the 
Beauchamp Tower, the felon in the house of 
correction, the murderer in Newgate. Perhaps 
it is the mere instinct of activity, denied every 
other mode of expending itself. When politi-
cal offenders were most numerous, the greatest 
hardships and indignities were heaped upon 
them in the Tower. Except as a special grace, 
no books, paper, or pens were allowed to the 
prisoners ; no visitor, no friend, wife, or child, 
no physician, no minister of religion, could ob-
tain admission without an order in council ; and 
this was granted very sparingly. The original 
orders still lie in the Record-office, and they 
make but a small handful of papers for two cen-
turies, during which time many hundreds of 
wretched beings inhabited the dungeons of the 
Tower. Then there was what was termed 
close confinement. Under orders of this nature 
prisoners were not suffered to leave their nar-
row dungeons for air, rest, exercise, or the wants 
of nature. As a sample of this may be quoted 
the act of commitment of the Marquis of Ar-
gyle, Marquis of Antrim, Sir Henry Vane, and 
Sir Arthur Haselrig, They are ordered to. be 
kept in close confinement, no person to have 
access to any of them, except one servant, to 
be shut up in the same room with each of them 
respectively, and to be strictly debarred from 
receiving letters, or using pen, ink, or paper. 
The story of the §ufferings borne by the great 
Duke of Norfolk serves still better as an illus-
tration of the condition of prisoners confined in 
the Tower in the days of the Tudors. Norfolk 
was the first nobleman in England : he was 
uncle to Catharine Howard, and therefore nearly 
related to the king ; he had served his country 
by his wisdom in the council chamber and at 
foreign courts—by his valor at sea—and on the 
field of Flodden. He had even been appointed 
by Henry as one of the executors during the 
minority of Prince Edward. His son, Lord 
Surry, the poet, was one of the most graceful 
and accomplished men of the age, and one of 
the writers of whose fame England is still 
proud. Father and son were both arrested in 
one day, and, unknown to each other, sent to 
separate dungeons in the Tower. The crime 
laid to their charge was, that they had quartered 
on their shields the arms of Edward the Con-
fessor. This they justified, by showing that 
their ancestors had done the same without chal-
lenge, and by producing a decision from the 
Herald's College. Not being a peer of the 
realm, Surry was tried at Guildhall , where, in 
spite of the clearest evidence, the court obtained, 
by its foul practices, a verdict of guilty,—and 
the brilliant young noble was conducted at once 
to the block. A dark day in the annals of Eng-
land was the day of his execution. The same 
fate was intended for the father : but being a 
peer of the realm, it was necessary to get a 
judgment against him from his peers. This 
was not difficult with a king like Henry the 
Eighth, and ministers like the Seymours ; but 
it was a work of time, Parliament was called 
together, and a bill of attainder hurried through 
the houses with indecent haste. On the 27th 
of the month—eight days after the death of 
Surry—it received the royal assent, and orders 
were despatched to the Tower to have the Duke 
executed next morning. But during the inter-
val the tyrant died ; and in the confusion 
caused by that event Norfolk was forgotten. 
During the whole reign of Edward the Sixth 
he languished in prison. A letter written by 
him during this reign is still extant, in which 
he humbly craves permission to have some 
books, which were laid up at Lambeth, sent to 
him ; for he says most pathetically he cannot 
keep himself awake—he is always dozing, and 
yet never able to sleep, nor has he ever done so 
for a dozen years ! He also beseeches his mas-
ters to allow him to walk in the daytime, in the 
outer chamber, for the sake of his health, which 
has suffered very severely by his close confine-
ment. With a touching simplicity he observes, 
that they can still lock him up, as at present, 
in his small dungeon at night. He also begs 
that he may be allowed sheets to lie on !—Such 
was the economy of an English State prison : 
such the usage to which the first baron of the 
realm was subjected, at a period when the laws 
did not even pretend to be impartial towards 
the great and the obscure ! Look round the 
walls of this Beauchamp Tower. Most of these 
inscriptions were made by men of whom no 
other trace is left. Like the beings of an older 
order of creation, they have completely passed 
away ; a few marks in the granite alone re-
maining to tell the brief story of their lives. 
Yet, read by the light of such memorials as 
Fisher and Howard have left behind, how full 
of saddest eloquence they seem. How strangely 
to death, and the members of the church at Je-
rusalem were all scattered abroad except the 
apostles, and " they that were scattered abroad 
went everywhere preaching the word." It may 
be so again. It is predicted that the word shall 
be preached in every land.—" And this gospel 
of the kingdom shall be preached in all the 
world for a witness unto all nations ; and then 
shall the end come."—Matt. 24:14. It is to be 
for a witness against them, if they reject it, as 
it is probable most of them will ; and as appears 
to be more distinctly intimated in the parallel 
passage in Mark 13th : " And ye shall be 
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for 
a testimony against them. And the gospel 
must first be published among all nations." 
It may be objected, also, by some, that the 
present is an age of revivals of religion, which 
are so frequent, so great, and so extensive, as 
forbids the idea that the church is ever likely 
to be reduced so low, as the opinion advanced 
in this essay seems to imply. Giving all possi- 
ble weight to this objection, it is a sufficient an-
swer to remind those who make it, that the out- 
pourings of the Spirit of God are in his own 
power, and may become less frequent and less 
extensive. And if they should cease entirely 
in any town, or state, or country, how long 
would it be, before the largest and most flour-
ishing churches would become extinct? 
It may be objected further, that this view of 
the introduction of the Millennium, should it 
prevail, would have a tendency to discourage 
the efforts which are now making for the spread 
of the gospel, and cause Christians to despond, 
and to sit down in idleness and inactivity. This 
objection is rather directed against the promul-
gation of this opinion, than against its truth. 
What if it should have this effect ? Would that 
prove it untrue ? I think it likely that many 
professed Christians would be thus affected by it. 
It would be likely to have this effect upon such 
as are influenced to action merely by the pros-
pect of great success, and the worldly glory and 
honors which accompany it. But it could not 
have this effect upon those who act from princi-
ple and duty. Those who love God and the 
souls of men, have motives to action of a differ- 
ent kind, and unspeakably more powerful, than 
those which stimulate the interprizers of world- 
ly gain. It cannot be necessary that Christians 
should believe a lie, in order to stimulate them 
to duty. If this view of the introduction of the 
Millennium be correct, as I verily believe it is, 
it ought to be made known, and let the conse-
quences be committed to God. But every truth 
is adapted to do good to those who cordially em- 
brace it ; and some of the good effects which 
the prevalence of this truth would have are 
very manifest. If there is real danger that er-
ror and wickedness will yet have a wide and 
extensive spread, that danger is greatly in- 
creased by its being believed by Christians that 
there is no danger ; whereas, by being aware of 
it, they are put upon their guard, and stimu- 
lated to make every possible effort to preserve 
themselves and others against it. What has 
been the actual experience of Christians on this 
subject ? Have they been most active, most 
humble, most prayerful, most abstracted from 
the world, and most devoted to God, when they 
thought everything was going on well, or when 
they have been sensible of danger; have felt 
themselves brought into straits, and have real-
ized that they were ready to perish if God did 
not appear for their help ? 
If the view which has been taken of the sub-
ject be a correct one, the church is now in dan-
ger ; and it behoves every Christian to be 
awake, and at his post. The enemy is coming 
in like a flood ; error and wickedness are pre- 
vailing ; the cause of religion is sinking; and 
unless God shall appear for the help of his peo-
ple, they will soon find themselves in an evil 
case. And if this view of the subject be cor- 
rect, what are the prospects of the rising gene-
ration ? If error and wickedness are to triumph 
still farther, and the institutions of the gospel 
are to be still farther despised and neglected ; if 
our candlesticks are to be removed out of their 
places ; if our churches are to be shut up, and 
our communion tables broken down ; if the 
ground is to be occupied by the enemies of the 
gospel, what is to become of our children ? Into 
whose hands will they fall, when we are laid in 
the dust ? What can we do for them now, be- 
fore God takes us away ? I speak not of pro-
visions for their bodies,. which, perhaps, we are 
industriously accumulating to be a snare to 
their souls ; but what can we do to guard them 
against the seductions to which they will be ex- 
posed ? What can we do to bring them to the 
saving knowledge of the truth, and engage for 
them the protection of the Almighty ? And 
what can we do for a world that lieth in wick- 
edness, and which is fast ripening for the day 
of God's wrath? What can we do to preserve 
the knowledge of the truth in the earth, and to 
keep up, here and there, a burning and shining 
light, in the midst of the surrounding darkness ? 
Who can tell, but that if suitable exertions are 
made, there may be preserved, here and there, 
a little verdant spot, that shall grow and flourish 
under the dews of heaven, while all around is 
laden with a sense of desolation, of heart-wea-
riness, of abandoned hope, are those rudely-cut 
old Italian words in the shield on the right-hand 
of the first recess in the wall :—"Dispoi : che : 
vole : la : fortuna : che : la : mea : speranza : 
va : al : vento : pianga : ho : volio : it : tem-
po : perdudo : e : semper : stel : mea : tristo 
e : disconteto ;" which may be thus rendered 
into English ; " Since Fortune has scattered all 
my hopes to the winds, I wish that Time itself 
were no more ; my star being ever sad and un-
propitious." The signature appended to these 
words is, " Willm. Tyrrel, 1541." But history 
has left us no clue to the person or crime of any 
so named. Fancy will picture him in various 
guises. From the genuine agony of his utter-
ance, one could readily believe he was lying at 
the time under sentence of death. Another un-
known, of the name of William Rame, has left 
his wisdom printed on the wall, under date 
1559, in the following pious proverbs ;—" Bet-
ter is it to be in the house of mourning than in 
the house of banqueting. It is better to have 
some chastening than over much liberty. There 
is a time for all things : a time to be born, and 
a time to die ; and the day of death is better 
than the day of birth. There is an end of all 
things : and. the end of a thing is better than 
the beginning. Be wise and patient in trouble ; 
for wisdom defendeth as well as money. Use 
well the time of prosperity, and remember the 
time of misfortune."—These lessons are among 
the commonplaces of our great store of verbal 
wisdom ; but no one can read them on the 
stones of Beauchamp Tower as commonplace. 
They seem to come like drops of blood distilled 
from a lacerated heart. In the third recess, 
part of an inscription runs thus :— 
" Unhappy is that man 
Whose acts doth procure 
The misery of this house, 
In prison to endure. 
1576. THOMAS CLARKE. 
Who was Thomas Clarke ? No one knows. 
Under it we read :— 
" Thomas Miagh, which 
Lieth here alone, 
That faine would from hence begone." 
And the verse goes on to say that he has been 
put to the rack in vain ; but is still kept a close 
prisoner. An inscription, consisting of a pair 
of scales and the following words, catches the 
eye :—" 1585. Thomas Baldewin, Juli. As 
virtue maketh live so sin causeth death."— 
These men have sent their names down to pos-
terity,—but nothing more. In everything else 
they have perished, and the memory of their of-
fences with them, as entirely as if they had 
never lived and provoked the jealousy of this 
world's rulers."

ry of the lake dwindle out of sight. It opens 
the prospect of a highway, capable of being 
quickly traversed by boats, to a large section of 
well-peopled territory. The hopes which that 
prospect inspires for the benighted inhabitants, 
might, if uttered, call forth the charge of en-
thusiasm—a charge, by the way, I wish I de-
served, for nothing good or great, either in law, 
religion, or physical science, has ever been ac-
complished without it : however, I do not mean 
the romantic flighty variety, but that which im-
pels with untiring energy to the accomplishment 
of its object. I do not wish to convey hopes of 
speedily effecting any great work through my 
own instrumentality; but 1 hope to be permit-
ted to work, so long as I live, beyond other men's 
line of things, and plant the seed of the gospel 
where others have not planted ; though every 
excursion for that purpose will involve separa-
tion from my family for periods of four or five 
months. Kolobeng will be supplied by native 
teachers . during these times of absence ; and, 
when we have given the Bakwains a fair trial, 
it will probably be advisable for all to move on-

New York Independent. 
The Rochester Ghosts. 
Perhaps the very little we have said in our 
paper, in rebuke of the imposition styled the 
Rochester Rappings, is quite enough, if not 
more than enough, on a subject having so little 
claim to the attention of the Christian commu-
nity ; but as the matter has been broached, we 
will give the following example of the manner 
in which these mys:erious things are said to be 
done up. A gentleman at Rochester, under 
date of March 11th, thus writes to the "Tri- 
bune :"— 
New York Observer. 
The true questions at issue in this modern 
manifestation of credulity and superstition are, 
Do the persons through whom the rappings are 
produced control them ? And, Can the same 
noises be made by other persons in an un-mys-
terious manner ? 
I am satisfied that a careful and candid in-
vestigation of the whole subject would result in 
an affirmative answer to both these questions. 
Not many days since, one of the sisters who do 
the knocking in this city was in company with 
several other persons, when a communication 
was received from the spirit of Benj. Franklin. 
The grammar of the sentence was very poor, 
and the persons present expressed themselves 
dissatisfied. It was tried again, with the same 
result, and they again complained, when the 
girl left the table in a net, exclaiming, " You 
know I never understood grammar." I will not 
insult your readers' understanding by making 
comments upon such a fact. On another occa-
sion a number of metaphysical questions had 
been asked by myself, and answered ; but one, 
rather more difficult than the rest, was not an-
swered at all ; and, after two or three unsuccess-
ful attempts, one of the young ladies said, 
" Why, I don't understand your question." It 
was then asked in a more simple manner, and 
the rapping immediately replied to it. 
A friend of mine informs me that during one 
of his visits to the girls (or the ghosts) some-
thing tapped his foot. He said nothing, but di-
rectly afterward one of the girls inquired if the 
" spirit had touched him ?" 
At another time she was standing between 
him and the window, where the outline of her 
form could be dimly seen. While looking in 
that direction he saw a hand coming towards 
his head. He expressed himself astonished at 
the spirit's power, and soon he saw it approach-
ing again. He then raised his arm, and re-
ceived the wrist upon the palm of his hand, sat-
isfying himself that spiritual arms were not on-
ly wonderfully material, but that if the ghost of 
a hand were there, the ghost of a lady's dress 
was there also. 
Another friend tells me that on his first visit 
the following inquiries were made : " Is Mr. G.'s 
father here ?" No answer. " Is the spirit of 
his mother here ?" " Yes." " Is she happy ?" 
" Yes." " Is she conscious that she is talking, 
with her son ?" " Yes." " Do other than dis-
embodied spirits ever hold converse in like man-
ner ?" " No." " Well," said Mr. G., " if my 
mother is dead, the event must be of recent date, 
as I left her perfectly well about half an hour 
ago." He then returned home, and found her 
just as well as he had left her. Thousands of 
facts like these have occurred, and the persons 
experiencing them have only refrained from ma-
king them public, because they deem the whole 
matter too insignificant to occupy the attention 
of an intelligent community.

EXPENSE OF WAR. — Give me the money that 
has been spent in war, and I will purchase every

kings and queens would be proud. I will build 
a school-house on every hill-side and in every 
valley over the whole earth ; I will build an 
academy in every town, and endow it; a college 
in every state, and fill it with able professors ; I 
will crown every hill with a place of worship, 
Discoveries in South Africa. 
Great interest has been excited in England, 
by the discovery recently made in South Afri-
ca, by Mr. Livingston, a missionary of the Lon-
don Missionary Society, in company with two 
English gentlemen, Messrs. Murray and Os-
well, who went out to Africa on purpose to join 
Mr. L. in the proposed exploration. The Lon-
don Missionary Magazine, for March, has a let-
ter from Mr. Livingston, giving a full account 
of his discovery. From the introductory note, 
we gather the facts that the journey of the late 
Rev. John Campbell, in 1820, reaching to the 
town of Lattakoo, opened the way for several 
missionary enterprizes among the native tribes 
beyond the bounds of the colony of the Cape of 
Good Hope. Among others is a French Pro-
testant mission of considerable interest. The 
beloved and energetic Robert Moffat planted a 
station at Lattakoo, now called Kuruman. —
Since his return from England, in 1843, several 
missionaries have penetrated to stations much 
beyond ; and Mr. Livingston, who is a son-in-
law of Moffat, planted a station at Kolobeng, 
more than 200 miles N. E. by N. of Kuruman, 
lat. 25 deg. S., Ion. 26 deg. E. On being 
joined by Messrs. Murray and Oswell, he left 
his residence at Kolobeng, on the first of June 
last ; travelled about 300 miles, and, on the 4th 
of July last, struck the beautiful river Zonga, 
in lat. 21 deg. 30 m., lon. 26 deg. 45 m. The 
river runs in a north-easterly direction. They 
then followed up the river, a winding north-
westerly course, about 300 miles more, till they 
came, the beginning of August, to the lake 
Ngami, so long an object of desire to travellers, 
between 20 and 21 deg. S. lat., and 23 and 24 
deg. E. Ion. Large rivers run into the lake 
fram the north. Mr. Livingston supposes that 
the river Zonga has its outlet to the Mozam-
bique channel through the river Zambezi, in 
about 18 deg. S. lat. Mr. L. reached his home 
at Kolobeng, in health and safety, on the 10th 
of October. In his letter to the London " Mis-
sionary Secretary," which was written on the 
banks of the Zonga, Sept. 3d, he expresses the 
strongest enthusiasm of the missionary to be the 
first to carry the blessings of the Gospel to these 
new-found tribes of the earth. He says :— 
" The fact that the Zonga is connected with 
large rivers coming from the north awakens 
emotions in my mind, which make the discove-

come.—Matt. 13:39. 
Thirdly.—We are explicitly told that " the field 
[to be harvested] is THE WORLD (kosmos,)" Matt. 
13:38. 
Fourthly.—It also says explicitly, " all things that 
offend, and they which do iniquity "—all the tares 
which the wicked one bath sown—all that destroy, or 
corrupt the earth—shall be gathered out of the king-
dom, not by conversion, but to be cast into the fire.—

eous alone shall be caught up to meet the LORD, all 
the wicked must perish.

"BEHOLD! THE BRIDEGROOX COMETH!” 
BOSTON, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1850. 
TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
N. C.—The following, from tract No. 6 of the 
Second Advent Library, will meet your question. 
There is hardly a fundamental point respecting the 
Advent that has not been assailed by professed Ad-
ventists ; and we suppose they will continue to be. 
THE EARTH AND THE WORLD END AT THE SAME TIME. 
That the world will not be destroyed before the 
earth, is evident from Gen. 8:21, 22 ; 9:11-16. That 
it will be destroyed then, is evident from the organi-
zation of our present bodies, which could not endure 
the flames that shall melt the earth.—See also 2 Pet. 
3 : 7. 
THEY END WITH THIS AGE. 
after the fall.—Gen. 3:15 ; Luke 1:70 ; John 9:32 ; 
Tit. 2:12, 13 ; Rev. 31:1, 4, 5. 
Second proof.—In 2 Pet. 3:10, 12, we are told 
Christians should " haste unto," or earnestly desire, 
the day of the LORD. And, in another place, the be-
liever exclaims,`` I shall be satisfied when I awake with 
thy likeness." But he will awake in CHRIST'S like-
ness on the day of CHRIST'S second advent. Of 
course, he cannot earnestly desire another day. See 
Titus 2 : 13. From this it is evident that the day 
spoken of here is the day of the second advent, and 
then " the heavens shall pass away with a great 
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat ; 
the earth also, and the works that are therein, shall 
be burned up." 
Now we are prepared to prove that this world 
(x.00-teo5) will end with this age (reins). 
The god of this 10071,04 (kosmos) is the same as 
the god of this reins (aion). " In whom the god of 
this age (am) hath blinded the minds of them which 
believe not," &c. " For the prince of this world 
(x.orrtko0 cometh, and hath nothing in me."* 
Again : the prevailing disposition of each is the 
same. " That he might deliver us from this present 
EVIL age" (aion) . " Know ye not that the friendship 
of the world (x.ocrtkos) 1S ENMITY with GoD?"-1- Also, 
we are told that in this world (xoapo5) Christians 
" shall have tribulation." This clearly implies that, 
so long as the present world continues, there is to be 
no dispensation of righteousness—CHRIST will not 
reign here personally or spiritually—the prevailing 
spirit will he that which causes tribulation to the chil-
dren of Goo. But they must be of good cheer ; for 
CHRIST assures them the world is overcome in pros-
pect that shall certainly be realized. It shall be des-
troyed at his glorious appearing, and his disciples 
will then be left without a foe forever.—See, also, 
Eph. 2 : 2, where walking " according to the age of 
this world," is spoken of as synonymous with walk-
ing " according to the prince of the power of the 
air," &c. 
The two words are used one for the other.—
Thus : " GOD was in CHRIST reconciling the age 
(atov) to himself, not imputing their trespasses unto 
them."-2 Cor. 5:19. " For I came not to judge the 
world, but to save the world " (xoc-po5). 
Again, (1 Cur. 1:20 :) " Where is the wise? where 
is the scribe? where is the disputer of this age (aion ?) 
Hath not Goo made foolish the wisdom of this world 
(kosmos ?)" In chap. 2:6 : " wisdom of this age 
(aion.)" In chap. 3:18, 19 : " If any man among 
you seemeth to be wise in this age (aion,) let him be-
come a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom 
of this world (kosmos) is foolishness with GOD." 
Again, Tit. 2:12: " Denying ungodliness and 
worldly (kosmikos) lusts, we should live soberly, 
righteously, and godly in this present age (aion.)" 
If there is to he another age of this world, does the 
apostle mean to imply that then we need not live so-
berly, righteously, and godly, and deny worldly 
lusts ? Or does he not rather mean that this age is 
the only one in which men shall have lusts of the 
world to deny—in other words, that probation ends 
with this age I 
At the end of this age CHRIST will come as 
King. But his " kingdom is not of this world (kos-
mos.)" He will not reign in it personally or spir-
itually. If the whole world does not end with this 
age, then there will either be some living on the 
earth over whom CARIST will not exercise jurisdic-
tion, or else his kingdom will be in part of this world. 
Moreover, as this world is subject to death, instead of 
his being King of kings, and his kingdom inde-
pendent, he would see it continually and successively 
invaded by the King of Terrors.—John 18:36, 37. 
Eph. 2:2 : " Wherein in time past ye walk-
ed according to the age (aion) of this world (kosmos) 
—according to the prince of the power of the air," 
&c. It does not say, " according to this age of the 
world." 
In Luke 20:34, 35, the children of this age are 
contrasted with those of the age to come, and in that 
we are told they " neither marry nor are given in 
marriage." But all admit that, so long as this world 
continues, marriage will be honorable. Therefore, 
with the next age there will be a new world. 
At the end of this age ALL the wicked shall be 
destroyed ; because, in addition to what has already 
been said, 
First.—Probation will be over ; and we can hardly 
believe Goo will permit the continuance of the human 
family, much less an increase, after the age of proba-
tion is past. 
Secondly.—The harvest then takes place. When 
harvest comes, sowing time is over. Not only are 
the tares already sown to be gathered, but the devil 
is to sow no more. Thus, we see, there can be no 
further addition to the depraved family of Adam ; in 
a word, no more births—no more marrying or given

DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN. 
" The greatest triumphs of the Church have been 
preceded by her darkest periods. Behind the dark 
cloud which shuts from view the rising light of the 
early dawn, the full-orbed sun is perhaps already 
risen. The waning of an old and decaying order of 
things, and the convulsions incident to the introduc-
tion and establishment of a new dispensation, give to 
the general aspect of affairs the appearance of disso-
lution. It is fearful to see the fountains of the great 
deep breaking up—mighty floods rolling over the 
earth—the solid ground giving way, and no new 
earth on which to place the sole of your foot. It was 
a dark hour to NOAH, when looking abroad over the 
wide expanse of waters, he saw the last summit of 
the receding earth sinking deeper and deeper into a 
watery grave. But soon a new world arose—washed, 
regenerated, and made a fitter 'abode for the Church 
of the living Goo. 
And that was the darkest night of all in which the 
body of Him, who was the bright and morning star, 
was entombed in the solid marble of the " new sepul-
chre." No wonder the heavens gathered blackness. 
In -yonder sepulchre was entombed the hope of the 
world. The Star of Bethlehem, which had already 
cast its light over the thick darkness of the nations, 
sunk beneath its horizon, and no bow of promise gave 
signs that ere long it should rise again in redoubled 
splendor. The hopes of waiting saints are in a mo-
ment prostrated. Many had trusted that it had been 
He who should have redeemed ISRAEL ; but as the 
morning of the third day approached, and all was 
silent about the sepulchre,—except as the stern sen- 
tinel of the Roman cohort, half determined by martial 
pride, half trembling for a fearful looking after those 
things that may come to pass, keeps his nightly 
watch, and proudly walks his rounds about the spot 
where lay, bound in the icy chains of Death, the 
Hope of a hopeless world,—how must the last ray of 
hope have been extinguished ! The overpowering 
despondency of that hour found a fit response in the 
bursting grief of those female disciples who came 
early to the sepulchre : They have taken away our 
LORD, and we know not where they have laid him.' 
" Never was there a darker hour. Hope lay dead, 
encased in the solid marble. Death had gotten the 
victory—the grave had the prey—sin triumphed, and 
hell kept jubilee. But hush ! The earth quakes—
the rocks rend—the priests come rushing from the 
temple and proclaim that the veil is rent asunder—
the pallid inhabitants of the grave walk among the 
abodes of men. 
" One company of women, and then another, and 
then one of the disciples, whose joy in the tidings he 
brings bears him apace before his brethren, come run-
ning back to the Holy City early on the morning of 
the first day of the week, and what strange tidings 
they bring ! They say,—but who, at this juncture 
of fell despodency, can believe it ?—they say, " The 
LORD has risen indeed !" 
The gloomy night is 
passed. The morning of the resurrection has come. 
The entombed hopes of his followers now burst forth 
into a glorious reality. In the hopeless tomb was 
the germ of hope for a ruined world. On Calvary, 
in the very ignominy and agony of the cross, was 
done away an old order of things, and introduced 
another, which should bring life and immortality to 
light. It was the darkness, the gloom, the death of 
that dismal period, which introduced the most illus-
trious period the Church has ever witnessed. They 
not only preceded, but were the very authors of it. 
The scene on Calvary was the great conflict. It was 
the hour and power of darkness. When the Great 
Head of the Chnrch was about to introduce a new and 
a more glorious era of his grace, all the powers of 
the pit were roused to smother the rising glory." 
Christian Intelligencer. 
In harmony with the above, in the darkest hours of 
despairing gloom, the Christian need not despond. 
His present trials serve to prepare him for the enjoy-
ment of a more sunny day. And as the gloomy night 
settled down on the antideluvian world was to he suc-
ceeded by the green clad surface of the dis-engulfed 
earth ; so are the increase of wickedness, the hike- 
Conferences in New York and Boston. 
A Conference of Adventists, or believers in the 
speedy coming of CHRIST, will be held in New York, 
at Washington Hall, Hester-street, three doors from 
the Bowery. To commence Tuesday, May 7th, at 
10 o'clock A. M., and continue three days. 
Also, in Boston, in Chardon-street Chapel.—To 
commence Tuesday, May 21st, at 10 o'clook A. 11I., 
and continue three days. 
The present wants of the cause, and the necessity 
of united action, in order to meet the wide and in-
creasing demands of the great missionary field, pre-
sent a strong inducement, for all our tried fellow-la-
borers, to assemble themselves together again, that 
by a free interchange of sentiment, on the great prac-
tical duties growing out of our present position, we 
may be able to enter, with more fervent zeal, and 
persevering efficiency, upon the great work which 
GOD in his providence has assigned to us, in these 
last days. 
On ! let all the soul within you 
Strike ! let every nerve and sinew

On-right onward, for the right ! 
For the truth's sake go abroad !

STATE FAST.—The State Fast falling on Thurs 
day of this week, the usual day of our publication' 
I premise a few things, as, 
CHRIST'S second advent will be as king, and at 
the end of this age.—Matt. 13:38, 43 ; 24:3, 30 ; Acts 
3:21 ; Tit. 2:12, 13. 
All the righteous, dead and living, shall then 
" be changed," and receive their " reward"—" have 
eternal life "—" shine forth as the sun,"—Matt. 13: 
43 ; Mark 10 : 30 ; Luke 18 : 30 ; 1 Cor. 15:50-53 ; 
1 Thess. 4:14-17 ; Heb. 6:5 ; Rev. 11:18. 
As respects the wicked, their age of probation 
ends with this age. 
First proof-1 Cor. 8:13: " If meat make my 
brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the age 
standeth [or lasts], lest I make my brother to offend." 
From this, it is evident that the age, of which PAUL'S 
life-time constituted a part, is the period of time du-
ring which a brother can be made to offend,—is on 
probation. 
Second proof.—This age is the time for preaching 
the gospel,—for teaching and baptizing all nations, 
— implying that mercy will not be offered in the 
age to come.—Matt. 24:14 ; 28:19, 20. The right-
eous, be it remembered, are all to be changed at 
CHRIST'S coming. Therefore, if the gospel is 
preached afterwards, the preachers will have spiritual 
.bodies. But this idea is contradicted by Matt. 25 : 
11 ; Luke 16:31 ; 1 Cor. 1:27 ; 2 Cor. 4:7. More-
over, it is inconsistent with the idea of CHRIST'S 
reigning himself, or of the righteous reigning with 
him, to suppose them travelling about as the " ser-
vants " of the wicked, exposed to their scoffs and 
contempt, trying to persuade them to repent. Now, 
we are told, it is by preaching that men are saved. 
—1 Cor. 1:21. Moreover, if the salt is withdrawn 
from the earth into a kingdom by itself, how can we 
expect the earth to be salted ?—Matt. 5:13, 16 ; Luke 
15:2, 4 ; 14:21, 23. That CHRIST'S kingdom will 
not be coercive, in the sense of forcing men into it, 
see Matt. 11:12 ; John 5:40; Luke 13:3 ; Acts 3:23. 
Compare Rev. 11:14, 15, with 10:7. 
Third proof.—In Pet. 3:4, 9, 13, we are informed 
that the reason why the promise of his coming has 
not been fulfilled already is, that GOD is long-suffer- 
ing, " not willing that any should perish, but that all 
should come to repentance." Does not this clearly 
imply that at and after his coming, mercy will not be 
offered, none will come to repentance—probation will 
be over 1 
Fourth proof.—At the end of this age the harvest 
takes place.—Matt. 13:39. When harvest comes, 
the time for sowing good or bad seed—by the Son of 
man, or by the devil—is past. Of course, there can 
be no more conversions—probation is in reality over. 
Fifth proof.—The age to come will be the time for 
review and punishment of actions done by the wicked 
in this age, implying that probation will be over, and 
the judgment set.—Matt. 12:32. 
2. At the second coming of CHRIST, this heaven 
and earth shall he destroyed, and the new be created. 
First proof.—Acts 3:21: " JESUS CHRIST—WhOIll 
the heaven must receive [retain] until the times of 
restitution of all things which Goo bath spoken by 
the mouth of all his holy prophets since the age be-
gan." What age I Evidently the one from the loss 
to the restitution,—an age that began before the first 
prophecy respecting a restitution, uttered immediately 
" To THE HERALD.—We have no where said, nor 
intimated, that WM. JOHNSTON is a ' misguided 
man,' on account of his sentiments ; nor in the least 
questioned his right to differ ' from our opin- 
ions.' 
" To the correctness of this most truthful state-
ment, our former and recent notices of Bro. JOHN-
STON bear testimony ; and we deem it very unkind, 
to charge us with doing so. 
" Will the Herald give this honest avowal to its 
readers ; set, the case of Bro. MORLEY in its true 
light before them : and publish in the Herald the 
statements (in Harbinger, March 23) of the Church 
at Matilda, and of Bro. PETER HOUGH and E. B. 
WHITE; concerning Wm. JOHNSTON, as it was re-
quested to do ? 
" Surely, if, as the Herald says, 4 It would seem 
merely an act. of simple justice [in the Harbinger] to 
give Bro. JOHNSTON a hearing,' it—the Herald—will 
not so far violate its own principle of ' simple jus-
tice,' as to refuse compliance with this request." 
Harbinger, April 6th. 
Last week we gave the very unsatisfactory defence 
of the Harbinger for its treatment of Bro. MORLEY, 
and cannot be expected to publish it over again. It 
will be time enough for us to publish against Bro. 
JOHNSTON when the Harbinger gives him a hearing, 
copies our own remark, or his Christian character is 
questioned. 
In reply to the first paragraph of the above, it will 
be sufficient to adduce the following extracts :— 
" From several communications we have received 
from this misguided man, spoken of above, we judge 
the statements of Bro. WRIGHT to be correct. —ED. 
Harbinger, March 2. 
" They do not complain of his moral character, but 
of his doctrine," signed Bro. HOUGH ; E. B. WRIGHT. 
Harbinger, March 23. 
As his doctrine alone is complained of ; and Bro. 
JOHNSTON confesses that, we don't see that we have 
any thing to do but to defend the right of conscience. 
We regret that we cannot kindly request the Har-
binger to deal kindly with those it differs from, with-
out ourselves being subjected to the same ; especially 
when he has so often said, " I fwe are wrong correct 
us in a kind spirit." 
THE ADVENT HERALD. 
we anticipate one day, and issue the present No. on 
Wednesday. The people of this country have much 
to fast for, and much for which they may give thanks. 
We may be thankful that we live in a land where our 
rulers are moved to remember the time-honored cus-
tom of New England, to appoint days of fasting and 
prayer. And we may feel to mourn and weep that 
so many manifest such an entire disregard of all re-
ligious duties; and even observe a day of fasting, 
only by making it an excuse for hilarity and mirth. 
SUNDAY SCHOOL INTEREST.—We have been right 
glad to see so deep an Interest manifested of late for 
the young. Our schools are multiplying in number 
and interest. The Children's Herald has hitherto 
been a tax upon us ; but we have been amply paid by 
the blessings of the little ones, who have read it every 
month with so much interest. Still, we are glad to 
find now, that both parents and children are coming 
up to the work, and intend to support it themselves. 
A few hundred more subscribers will meet its actual 
expenses. Every Sunday School should furnish each 
scholar with a copy. Its terms are 25 cts. per year ; 
$1 50 per hundred, for Sunday Schools. 
SOME one has sent us a copy of the Christian Ad-
vocate 4- Journal, containing rather uncourteous 
strictures on a short article in the Herald of March 
9th on the Wesleyan agitation in England. The pa-
per came too late for us to comply with the sender's 
request this week. We shall endeavor to show in 
our next who has been guilty of falsehood. We have 
more facts at our command than can be put into a 
peck measure, which Dr. PECK — the editor of the 
above-named Journal—may deny—if he can. 
A New Work. 
" The Elements of Sacred Chronology." — This is 
a work of between 100 and 200 pages, now being 
stereotyped for this office, which will give the ele-
ments requisite for calculating the dates of the promi-
nent events recorded in Scriptural history. It will 
contain much interesting matter in connection with 
the science of Chronology. The price will not be 
over 50 cts.—perhaps less—with a deduction by the 
quantity. Orders are solicited, that we may know 
how many to print. 
TO OUR KIND AND GENEROUS PATRONS.—We would 
respectfully express our obligations to you all for 
your co-operation and support in the best of causes. 
We are now coming upon the season of the year that 
will require a heavy draft upon this office to sustain 
the efforts which must be made to extend the truth. 
Any aid will be greatfully received. The tide is 
against us, but we must stem the torrent. 
WE hope to be able to be in New York April 14th, 
and speak in Brooklyn in the morning ; at Hester-st. 
in the afternoon, and for Bro. WHITING'S congrega-
tion in the evening. Also, in Philadelphia, April 
21st, and speak to Bro. LITCH'S congregation, as our 
health may permit. 
J. V. H. 
BRO. M. PEASE will please act as agent for the Herald, in procur-
ing new subscribers and receiving the subscriptions of any wishing 
to send money to the office. 
BOOKS FOR THE FAR WEST.—W e shall arrange soon to supply all 
calls. 
A LETTER from Bro. BONHAM next week. 
FRENCH POLITICAL TACTICS. 
The following is from the N.Y. Spectator. It was 
written by a correspondent, and is dated, Berlin 
(Prussia), March 5th, 1850. We have read the let-
ters of this correspondent with much pleasure, and 
have been interested in the intelligence he has mani-
fested, as well as in the graphic manner he has de-
tailed his views of European politics. If his ideas, 
as below given, are well founded—and we see no rea-
son to dispute them—it will be seen that the friends 
of freedom have yet much to encounter, before they 
can acquire their emancipation from despotic rule. 
Liberal ideas never have attained their proper posi-
tion without a desperate struggle, and they never 
will. Despotism, enthroned, and embedded in the 
very fibres of the social and political fabric of conti-
nental Europe, and, possessing vast resources, ac-
quired during ages of almost undisputed rule, is too 
well skilled in artifice and chicanery, to be check-
mated, or even seriously impeded, at once, by a 
newly-fledged democracy, which as yet has scarcely 
any well-defined rules of action, or the energy to 
pursue even what may be clearly apprehended. 
" The war-cloud which seemed two weeks ago to 
be threatening Europe, has grown beautifully less, 
until it is no larger than a man's hand. The leading 
Berlin papers say this morning that the danger is 
over, and the organ of the Ministry itself says that 
Prussia is quite willing to negotiate on the subject of 
Neufchatel, and accept the reparation offered by 
Switzerland in the matter of political refugees.—
The whole alarm seems to have been got up by the 
King, Emperor, and President, in concert, for the 
purpose of serving the interests of the cause of or-
der, as the phrase goes, and more particularly for the 
benefit of the President. The Switzerland question 
has been the subject of negotiation between France, 
Prussia, and Austria, since last August. About that 
time, as has recently been brought to light, DE 
TOCQUEVILLE, Minister of Foreign Affairs, promised 
to compel or induce Switzerland to satisfy Prussia 
and Austria in regard to the refugees. We learn 
from the note of the Federal Council that no menace 
has been addressed to Switzerland on this subject. 
Putting these facts with the frequent mysterious vis- 
its of M. PERSIGNY, the intimate friend of President 
BONAPARTE, to Berlin and Vienna, the necessity for 
increased popularity of the President to further his 
ambitious views, the important moral signification of 
the approaching elections in France, the fact that the 
rumors of war were started by the re-actionary party, 
the conclusion is inevitable, that the three govern-
ments have chosen their time for alarming Europe 
with preparations for war. 
" The Ministry at Berlin demanded of the Cham-
bers a credit of 18 millions for increased army ex-
penses, hinting that war was unavoidable. The 
Brunswick ministry tells the Chambers plainly that 
it must come. Mr. PERSIGNY, the French ambassa-
dor, gives out that he is going home, for he has alto-
gether failed in his mission, while his friends hint he 
was sent here to negotiate a settlement of the Swiss 
difficulty. The cue is taken by the Paris organs of 
the Elysee, and the re-action and the cry of an attack 
on Switzerland resounds through Europe. The 
Democratic sheets, with their usual want of prudence, 
fall into the snare ; they charge the President with 
conniving at an attack on the ally of France to end 
with one on France herself. The President suffers 
a few days under this imputation and then confounds 
his enemies, the Republicans, with declaring himself 
ready to defend Switzerland at all hazards ; actually 
orders a part of the army to the Swiss frontier, let-
ting it be understood that he has done so against the 
remonstrances of his cabinet, Gen. HAUTPOUL having 
threatened to resign. A day or two later, he pub-
lishes a card in the Moniteur, lauding his own able 
policy, which has separated Prussia from Austria, 
and showing that the country will be protected from 
dishonor by the firmness of its President. All these 
things will doubtless exert a great influence on the 
elections, especially in the Eastern departments of 
France, where the war fever raged most fiercely.—
The presence of the troops sent by the President into 
those departments, apparently for the purpose of pro-
tecting Switzerland, will have a powerful effect on 
the peasants. The whole affair seems to have been 
got up for effect. 
" There is nothing in the Switzerland question 
which called for its explosion like a tremendous bomb-
shell on Europe. The refugee matter was settled 
long ago. Switzerland consented, last summer, to 
get rid of the objectionable persons as rapidly as pos-
sible, and has diminished the number from some ten 
thousand to about eighteen hundred, who are watched 
most closely by the Swiss police. The interests and 
wishes of the three rulers are identical on this point, 
the President being to the full as eager as his two 
crowned colleagues to extinguish the revolutionary 
flame. The second point of Neufchatel concerns 
France just as much as Switzerland — indeed more. 
The fortress is quite valueless to Prussia, except be-
cause it commands a part of the French frontier, and 
would secure a passage for an Eastern and Northern 
army into France. Is it possible to believe that this 
matter has not long ago been fully discussed between 
the diplomatists of the two countries and arranged ? 
If Prussia and Austria intended to go to war for 
Neufchatel, they must have known that France would 
resist ? Would they then draw back on the first 
threat by France? The supposition is absurd.—
These are the only real points in the Swiss question, 
and they were long ago adjusted by the consent of 
Switzerland to expel or confine the refugees, and 
make compensation for Neufchatel. The amount has 
been left open. A third point has been sometimes 
improperly raised. It is said that Prussia and Aus-
tria, supported by Russia, demand the return of Switz-
erland to the old Sunderbond, as guarantied by the 
treaties of 1815. This is not possible. It is incon-
sistent with the doctrines laid down by Prussia in her 
discussions with Austria, and inconsistent with the 
solemn denunciation by France of those treaties. 
Switzerland cannot be forced without the consent of 
France, and how can BONAPARTE, the nephew, ap-
peal to treaties which sent to St. Helena the uncle, 
by whose fame alone he has the right to live ? 
" For these and other reasons, I adhere to the 
opinion expressed in my last letter, that the powers 
act in concert with each other, and that the action of 
Austria and Prussia is dictated by President BONA-
PARTE, with an eye to the interests of the cause of 
order and the ultimate promotion of the President to 
a more permanent office. This is the only view 
which harmonizes all the facts of the case. As I said 
before, no farther demonstration will be made until 
after the elections in France enlighten the rulers on 
the point of how far it may be prudent to act. lip 
to this time, the President seems to have made a great 
deal of political capital out of the Swiss difficulty." 
 
Foreign News. 
 
As the majority of the assembly entertain the ex-
treme democratic opinions of the president, a dissolu-
tion is considered inevitable. At its opening, the 
king declared that a unitarian state of Germany will 
be nothing but a chimera ; and said that if attempted 
to be carried out, it would lead to the separation or 
dissolution of Germany itself. His speech was great-
ly cheered, and produced a favorable effect upon the 
people. 
It is reported that a Congress of German Sove-
reigns will be held in April at Dresden, to hold coun-
cil on German matters. The Emperor of Austria, 
and the Kings of Bavaria, Hanover, and Saxony, 
will be present. 
GREECE.—On March 1st, the English Consul at 
Athens issued the following circular :—" I am in-
structed by her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to 
the King of Greece, to inform you that her Majesty's 
Government having good hopes of obtaining a satis-
factory settlement of their demands on the Greek 
government, through the good offices of the Fnench 
Republic, having given orders to Vice Admiral Sir 
WILLIAM PARKER, to suspend, for a reasonably limited 
period of time, the coercive action of her Majesty's 
squadron; but nevertheless to retain a Greek vessel 
actually in his possession, or pledges in deposit, until 
a final arrangement shall have been made ; orders 
have consequently been given by Vice Admiral PAR-
KER, for the present free ingress and egress of all 
vessels actually in possession of her Majesty's squad-
ron." The trade appears to have immediately re-
sumed its usual course. The correspondent of the 
Times stated, that on the 2d inst. M. THOUVKNEL 
wrote to Mr. WYSE, proposing that Sir WILLIAM 
PARKER should give up the Greek ships in his pos-
session, and that he, the representative of the French 
Republic, would guarantee the payment of the claims 
of her Majesty's government and Greece. Mr. WYSE 
replied that he regretted being unable to comply with 
M. THOU VENEL'S proposition—that the instructions 
which lie had received from Lord PALMERSTON did 
not permit him to accept of such an offer. 
ITALY.—The Paris Universe has the following :—
Cardinal ANTEJELLI has made known to M. DE RAY-
NEVAL that the Holy Father had resolved to leave for 
Rome in the beginning of April, and that resolution 
was about to be communicated officially to the diplo-
matic corps. 
The Constitutionnel of the 9th inst. states that the 
British government has presented a notice to the Tus-
can cabinet, demanding compensation for the losses 
sustained by the British residents in Leghorn, during 
the bombardment of that city by the Austrian troops. 
At Leghorn they are apprehensive of a visit from the 
British fleet. 
Advices from Naples state that the Municipality of 
Naples presented to the king a petition, signed by 
20,000 persons, praying that the Constitution might 
be abolished by law, as it was de facto. 
The Austrians are fortifying themselves at Spoleto. 
The French are highly displeased at the approach of 
the A ustrian troops to Rome. RADEYSKY and his 
staff arrived at Venice on the 9th. 
PRUSSIA.—Advices from Berlin inform us that the 
negotiations between the courts of Austria and Prus-
sia for the definitive constitution of a central govern-
ment for Germany have entirely failed. 
The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle 
says that the French government has received advices 
from Switzerland, from which it appears that Prussia 
has abandoned all claims upon Neufchatel, stating 
explicitly, that she abandons her claims only because 
she considers the sacrifice one which she is bound to 
make for the preservation of the peace of Europe. 
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.—Advices from Ber-
lin state that Gen. RANCH has returned from his mis-
sion to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, that he 
has failed in his object, and that the hope of an un-
derstanding is farther off than ever. The Baltic Ga-
zette states that Denmark will only agree to a pro-
longation of the armistice on the following condition, 
viz., Dissolution of the army of Schleswig-Holstein, 
or its great reduction ; dissolution of the National 
Assembly ; a new electorial system, and the occupa-
tion of Rendsburg by Danish and Swedish troops—
and she will only conclude a peace on the basis of a 
re-union of the Duchies to Denmark. There is an 
apprehension that England will imperiously dictate 
the conditions of peace, if its conciliatory efforts 
prove unavailing. 
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. — Two columns of the 
Pesth Zeitung are filled with the sentences passed by 
court martial upon the persons who have been com-
promised in the late Hungarian revolution. All the 
sentences of death have been commuted to imprison-
ment in irons in the fortifications, for periods of twelve 
to sixteen years. The Austrian government has re-
pealed Baron HAYNAU'S tax on the Hungarian Jews, 
and even promises to indemnify those who have al-
ready paid the assessment. 
The condemnation of the Bishop of Grosswardein 
to twenty years' imprisonment in irons, for participa-
tion in the revolution, has created a great sensation. 
SWITZERLAND.—The Suisse of Berne says: "The 
Federal Council have decided in according a subsidy 
of from twenty to one hundred Swiss livres to the 
refugees gravely compromised, who should select an 
asylum out of Switzerland. The most necessitous 
are to be transferred gratis to the frontier. 
Russia.—Accounts from every part of the empire 
speak of the remarkable weather—the alternations of 
heat and frost have been quite unusual ; and severe 
as the winters of Russia usually are, the cold has been 
more intense this year than in the memory of man. 
It is stated from St. Petersburgh, that an ukase has 
been issued, according to which the Russian and Aus-
trian governments engage reciprocally to surrender 
the Jews who have passed from one country into the 
other. 
TURKEY.—Accounts from Scutari, in Turkey, state 
that a troop of several thousand inhabitants of Mon-
tengro made, on the 4th ult., an incursion into the 
district of Portegazza, and that they retreated after a 
skirmish, which lasted throughout the day. Gibi-
ciout, an Albanian town, is in a state of open insur-
rection. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The steamer Europa arrived at New York on Sat-
urday last. The news is unimportant. 
It is said that Lord PALMERSTON has addressed an 
energetic note to the Spanish government, complain-
ing of the scandalous manner in which the slave trade 
is carried on in Cuba. He threatens the blockade of 
the island if his representation is not attended to ! 
In the House of Lords, on the night of March 22d, 
a bill to give a double legislative chamber to the colo-
nies was rejected, 198 to 147. 
At Manchester, on the 22d, the premises of Woon 
and WESTHEAD, 49 Piccadilly, were destroyed ; loss 
estimated at £100,000—insured. 
There has also been a large fire near the London 
docks, in St. George street, in which the extensive 
sugar refineries of WAcKERBARTHS & CO. were des-
troyed. Loss about £60,000. 
The high church party are placing themselves in 
opposition to the judicial decision in the GORHAM case. 
A proclamation declares all party processions in 
Ireland illegal, and that they will be put down by 
force. St. PATRICK'S day passed over quietly. 
Sir JAMES BROOKE has suspended the Lieut. Gov- 
ernor of Labaun colony, on charge of malfeasance in 
office. 
The Chinese have delivered to the Portuguese au- 
thorities of Macao the head and hand of the late gov-
ernor. 
Mr. HUTT had given notice of a motion, that the 
House address the Crown to direct that negotiations 
may be forthwith entered into for the purpose of re-
leasing this country from all treaty engagements with 
foreign states—for maintaining armed vessels on the 
coast of Africa, to suppress the traffic in slaves. 
On the morning previous to the debate on this mo-
tion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL called a meeting of the 
friends and supporters of Government, 160 of whom 
attended, as did also Lord PALMERSTON. Lord JOHN 
RUSSELL informed them that should this motion be 
carried, he should resign his office. The result of 
the division at night was that the motion was lost by 
a majority of 78. 
The Times designates the support of the African 
squadron as a deplorable humbug, and says the coun-
try must take this matter into its serious considera-
tion. A large proportion of its fleet, a fourth, it is 
said, is employed in the interminable fool's errand in 
the tropics, without the least benefit whatever, but a 
great deal of harm—a million a year is a low esti-
mate of the expense. 
There are pretty evident signs of an approaching 
dissolution of Parliament. The bill for the abolition 
of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland is to be presented 
to Parliament after Easter. 
We learn from Ireland that cultivation is going on 
more rapidly than was anticipated, and that a great 
quantity of potatoes have been sown. Emigration 
from the southern frontiers of Ireland is rapidly in-
creasing. 
FRANCE.—The elections have closed without any 
disturbance whatever. The official declaration of the 
members returned from Paris took place on Friday 
morning, when the three Socialist candidates,—CAR-
NOT, VIDAL, and FeorrE,--were declared duly elected. 
The numbers polled were as follows : — CARNOT, 
132,797 ; VIDAL, 128,439 ; DEFLOTTE, 126,982. M. 
DEFLOTTE, the lowest of the successful candidates, 
has a majority of 1339 over Mr. FOYE, the highest 
candidate of the unsuccessful list. Very few persons 
were present at the ceremony, and little excitement 
was manifested. The Patrie, which is looked upon 
as a semi-official paper, intimated that the Govern-
ment would adopt prompt and effective means, by 
which the ultra democratic party shall be restrained. 
The retail trade of Paris has suffered a severe 
check, in consequence of the agitation accompanying 
the elections. The accounts from the departments 
are more favorable, the manufacturers in the princi-
pal towns being fully occupied. Some of the con-
servative journals are denouncing by name the shop-
keepers who voted for the democratic candidates at 
the recent election, and calling upon the public to 
withdraw from them their custom, and never to enter 
their shops. 
Letters from Strasburgh mention that an associa-
tion is immediately to be formed there for the propa-
gation of anti-socialist doctrine among the peasants. 
Six representatives of the Mountain have proposed 
an amendment to the Budget, for the reduction of 
1500,000 francs in the allowance to the Parochial 
Clergy. 
GERMANY. — The Legislature of Wurtemburg, 
which was elected to revise the constitution, was 
opened on the 15th by the king, and formally consti-
tuted on the 16th. M. SCHODER, chief of the demo-
cratic party, was elected president, by 44 votes against 
15 given to M. RIMER, chief of the liberal party.— 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
CORMIMPONDIMITO. 
THE RESURRECTION. 
BY G. NEEDHAM. 
" But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed 
at the bush, when he called the Lord, the God of 
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Ja-
cob."—Luke 20:37. 
(Continued from our last.) 
8. Obj. " There is nothing in the natural world, 
analogous to the resurrection." 
What if there is not? Abraham believed God, 
although there was nothing in the " natural world " 
analogous to the promise made to him. " And it was 
counted to him for righteousness." 
What do the changing seasons teach? I can 
give it in no better language, than the author of the 
" Seasons " has dune. 
" Behold ! fond man see here thy pictured life. 
Pass some few years ; thy flowering spring ; 
Thy summers ardent strength ; thy sober autumn ; 
Fading into age ; and pale concluding winter, 
Comes at last, and shuts the scene." 
The decomposition of animal and vegetable sub-
stances, entering into new combinations, is analogous. 
It is a well known fact, that there is a continual 
change going on in the animal and vegetable world, 
almost if not quite as great as any change to be ex-
pected in the resurrection. 
The germination and growth of seeds. It is 
supposed that not more than one twentieth or thir-
tieth of the seed, enters the new combination, but it 
is undo
ubtedly true, that a much larger portion en-
ters. Be it as it may, it is analogous. So thought 
the apostle Paul. We repeat, like the seed, all that 
is essential to constitute the man, in immortality, will 
enter the new combination. 
lig less than this, 
does Christ mean, when he says, " not a hair of your 
head shall perish?" 
The chrysalis of the butterfly is analogous.— 
Nothing is more strikingly so. You behold, the 
loathsome caterpillar—the vile, the disgustful larva, 
that shocks the sensibilities of the Miss of sixteen, 
to-day, and your child utters a shriek of horror at 
The next verse says, " But evil men and seducers 
shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being de- 
ceived." How can this be reconciled with the theo-
ry of a temporal millennium? Says Paul to Timo-
thy, (4:1,) " Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that 
in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, 
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of, dev-
ils, speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their con-
science seared as with a hot iron : forbidding to mar-
ry, and commanding to abstain from meats which God 
bath created to be received with thanksgiving of them 
which believe and know the truth." 
Peter (2 Pet. 3:3) says, " Knowing this first, that 
there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking af-
ter their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise 
of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all 
things continue as they were from the beginning of 
the creation. For this they are willingly ignorant 
of, that by the word of God, the heavens were of old, 
and the earth standing out of the water and in the 
water : whereby the world that then was, being over-
flowed with water, perished : but the heavens and the 
earth which are now, by the same word are kept in 
store, reserved unto fire, against the day of judgment 
and perdition of ungodly men." As these ignorant 
scoffers will abound in the last days, the earth cannot 
then be " full of the knowledge of the Lord as the 
waters cover the sea." These scoffers must be called 
out by others saying that the Lord is coming. These 
scoffers exist at the present time, and afford evidence 
that we are living in the " last days." 
The last three trumpets have a woe connected with 
them, which implies grief, sorrow, and misery, a 
state opposed to a millennium of happiness. The 
Saviour says," Strait is the gate and narrow the way 
which leadeth unto life, and few there be which find 
it." If the doctrine of a temporal millennium be 
true, the gate of life during this time becomes so 
wide, and the road so broad, that many will go in 
thereat. As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so 
it must be when the Son of man is revealed. 
Prophecy and the present state of the moral and 
political world agree, and bring us to the time of the 
judgment, so that this sad state of things cannot be 
succeeded by a glorious period prior to the second 
advent of Christ. Where, then, are we to look for 
that blessed time, so long foretold by the prophets, 
arid sung by the ancient bards ? In the restitution of 
all things." The saints of God, till within the past 
century arid a half, expected it nowhere else, as their 
writings abundantly testify. After the curse is taken 
from the earth, the wicked cleansed out of it, Eden 
restored, the tree of life again placed in the midst of 
the paradise of God, the New Jerusalem come down, 
and become the metropolis of the kingdom, and the 
tabernacle of God is with men, then, and not till then, 
will be the fulfilment of those promises. Then will 
the earth be full of the glory of God, as he has 
spoken by the mouth of his servant Moses. Then 
shall it be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the 
waters cover the sea, and all will know him from the 
least of them to the greatest of them, for they shall 
all be taught by him. Then " Christ's dominion 
will be from sea to sea, and from the rivers unto the 
ends of the earth." Then " the wolf shall dwell 
with the lamb, and the leopard lie down with the kid, 
and the calf, the young lion, and the fatling together, 
and a little child shall lead them." Then " the light 
of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the 
light of the sun shall be seven-fold, as the light of 
seven days ;" while the city will have " no need of 
the sun ; for the Lord God and the Lamb will be the 
light thereof." Then " the eyes of the blind will be 
opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped : then 
shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue 
sing." There will be the " highway of holiness, 
over which the unclean shall not pass, nor the lion, 
neither any ravenous beast go up thereon ; but the 
redeemed shall walk there, and the ransomed of the 
Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs, and 
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads : they shall 
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall 
flee away." Then " violence will no more be heard 
in the land, wasting nor destruction within its bor-
ders, but the walls of Zion shall be called Salvation, 
and her gates Praise. The people shall be all right-
eous, they shall inherit the land forever." Then 
" God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and 
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor cry-
ing, neither shall there be any more pain, for the for-
mer things are passed away." Then the golden city, 
with its gates of pearl, and its foundations garnished 
with all manner of precious stones, will be the capi-
tal of the new earth, its gates will be open contin-
ually, and the kings of the (new) earth will bring 
their glory and honor into it, while the nations of 
them that are saved will walk the street of gold, and 
rejoice in the light of him whose glory fills the place. 
From beneath the throne of God will issue forth the 
pure water of life, clear as crystal, and on each side 
of the river will stand the tree of life, with its twelve 
manner of fruits, yielded every month. Behold the 
inhabitants of this goodly land, as they range the 
ever-green fields and pluck the unfading flowers of 
Paradise, or recline beneath some stately cedar, be-
side the still waters. How glorious they seem, clad 
in their spotless robes of white, while on their heads 
are crowns of gold, and in their hands the harps of 
God. Listen to the soft gushing music, vibrating 
from its strings, and the sweet songs of melody flow-
ing from immortal tongues. This is happiness un-
told ! This is joy unspeakable ! This is glory in-
comprehensible ! Ear bath not heard, eye hath not 
seen, the heart of man hath never conceived of such 
a " far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory " 
as is here seen, felt, and enjoyed, by the redeemed of 
God. Do we not long to experience it for ourselves? 
It may all be ours to enjoy forever, if we will consent 
to partake of Christ's sufferings here,—with him en-
dure reproach, hear the cross, suffer persecution, deny 
ourselves, and do the whole will of God. Great is 
the reward set before us, and may we have such a 
respect thereto, that with Moses we may choose rather 
to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to en-
joy the pleasures of sin for a season. 
Not only can there be no period of peace and safety 
prior to the advent of our Lord, but the Lord himself 
is at the door. These very predictions afford proof 
of the fact. Paul says, 1 Thess. 5:3, that when they 
"JESUS, MY HOPE." 
(Composed on receiving a gift from a friend, in which 
these words were inscribed.) 
With hope in Christ I fear no ill, 
For his right hand supports me still ; 
Though trials here my path surround, 
I boast in Him my strength is found ; 
He will supply both aid and grace, 
To those who earnest seek his face. 
When clouds around my tent prevail, 
And gloomy thoughts my peace assail, 
When cherished hopes are severed here, 
Where strong hearts know the bitter tear, 
In Him a safe retreat I find, 
A refuge from each stormy wind. 
When bound by sad affliction's chain, 
Opprest with grief, beset with pain, 
When tedious days new troubles weave, 
So that to dust my soul would cleave, 
One lively hope brights up the night, 
Jesus is near, though veiled from sight. 
Where joy and love extend their wings, 
My heart with wonder often sings, 
That I have fbund in one so dear, 
A bosom friend forever near, 
Who will his promises defend, 
And ne'er forsake though time should end. 
In Jesus all my peace is found, 
Who makes my purest joys abound ; 
He bids me at his table wait, 
To share the banquet free and great : 
I tarry long, my soul is fed 
By angel hands, with heavenly bread. 
His presence I more highly prize 
Than all the gold beneath the skies ; 
My birth-right here I would not lose, 
For all the honors I could choose ; 
More precious far than rubies rare, 
His words my cherished treasures are. 
When on the mount of faith I stand, 
And view the promised " better land," 
My soul rejoices then to hear, 
The glorious day is quite so near, 
When " this same Jesus " shall again 
Return to earth, with saints to reign. 
That glorious day I long to see, 
When Israel's hope complete shall he, 
When gathered by their Shepherd's arm, 
The " little flock " shall fear no harm, 
For pain and death shall be no more, 
Nor tears be known on Canaan's shore. 
Blest Jesus! I would see thy face, 
In whom I trust for every grace ; 
Thy friendly counsels I would hear 
With cheerful heart and willing ear ; 
0 ! grant me still thy power divine, 
Thy arms of love 'round me entwine. 
His name shall be my theme of praise, 
Throughout the remnant of my days, 
And should I view the vale of death, 
Then with my last expiring breath, 
Confiding still would I look up, 
And glad exclaim, " Jesus, my hope." 
And when the last loud trump shall sound, 
To call the sleeping from the ground, 
When from the skies our King shall come 
To give the saints their own " sweet home," 
Then in loud strains shall I rejoice 
That Jesus was my special choice. D. 
the sight, and should it crawl upon the skin, would 
probably throw it into convulsions ; to-morrow, it is 
an oval lump, about the size of a sparrow's egg, cov-
ered with a curiously wrought garment, without any 
signs of life, and though it has lost its odiousness, 
yet it has not the most distant appearance of beauty : 
but next day, your child calls you to behold a beauti-
ful winged insect, sticking to the wall, all bespangled 
with golden tints, its wings of the most gorgeous 
colors, such as no artist can imitate, and its form 
most exquisite. 0 how it dazzles, and dances, and 
sparkles, in its burnished livery ! No eastern queen, 
ever shone with half the brilliancy, enshrouded with 
diamonds, as the beautiful creature you now behold, 
in its golden garments, woven by the Great Archi-
tect, and bestudded with gems, by the finger of him 
who planted the twinkling luminaries of heaven.—
You are delighted. Your child is in extacies. It 
gives vent to its childish admiration, in tones of the 
most impassioned eloquence. You gently disengage 
it from its resting place, and place it upon the tiny 
hand of your child—it carries it about the room—
gazes and gazes, and wishes itself were as beautiful. 
Its loathing is gone. It is turned into admiration.—
But what it now beholds, with so much delight, is 
nought but the filthy, disgustful worm, with its com-
posite atoms, newly combined, and differently ar-
ranged. 
Does it seem incredible that God should raise the 
dead ? that he should re-animate, beautify, and glo-
rify, what is now so filthy and loathsome ? Why, it 
is vastly more credible than phenomena, transpiring 
every hour of our lives. Say, you that doubt, who 
hung out these heavens? Who planted the stars ?—
Who rolls the worlds in their orbs? Who created 
the light? By what laws does it continue to shine? 
Who gave the seas their bound ? Who changed dust 
of the earth into a living, breathing, thinking, ra-
tional being, of flesh, blood and bones, and gave that 
being intelligence? 
Or do you doubt because you cannot comprehend 
the modus operandi ? Dear man, turn within you, and 
tell me how the animating Spirit which God breathed 
into dust, changed it to what you now behold it ? tell 
me how iron is generated in your veins, or lime in 
your bones? and thus on ad libitum? 'Fell me how, 
from that filthy crawling worm, came the beautiful 
winged insect, you so much admired? Answer all 
these, or cease to doubt, because you do not, or can-
not comprehend. Bow to the revelation of God—be-
lieve and love it. 
II. Having considered the objections commonly 
urged against the doctrine of the resurrection, we will 
in the second place, 
Notice the first or resurrection of life. 
There are many, who believe most firmly in a res-
urrection, who know no distinction between the res-
urrection of the righteous and the wicked. They do 
not understand that there is any great distinguishing 
land mark, separation between the two, but take it 
for granted, that all classes and characters will be 
raised and adjudged at the same moment, and that 
nothing except simple acquittal or condemnation, will 
distinguish between them. 
This arises in some, from want of examination, in 
others as a sequence, from their theory of a spiritual 
millennium and reign, and in others, from a doating, 
and self confident spirit, with a love of singularity, 
and a pride of originality. We shall aim, mostly, 
to give the positive, avoiding noticing the puerile as-
sumptions and conclusions, of the latter class, believ-
ing that the love of notoriety which characterizes 
their productions ought not to be fed, and only allud-
ing to the former, when it is absolutely necessary, to 
meet the difficulties which may have arisen in their 
minds. 
I remark- 
It is called the first resurrection. Rev. 20:5—
" This [the living again of the beheaded saints and 
others, who had been dead] is the first resurrection." 
It is called the resurrection of life. Dan. 12:2 ; 
John 5 : 29—" And shall come forth, they that have 
done good, at the resurrection of life." 
It is called the resurrection of the just. Luke 
14:14—" Thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrec-
tion of the just." 
It is called the better resurrection. Heb. 11: 35 
—" That they might obtain a better resurrection." 
It is spoken of as prior to the other. But this 
will more fully appear, as we, in the third place, 
prove the resurrection both of the just and the unjust. 
—(To be continued.) 
THE MILLENNIUM. 
BY M. D. WELLCOME. 
There can be no long period of " peace and safety " 
prior to the coming of the Lord, during which all, or 
nearly all, of the world will be converted to Chris-
tianity. Persecutions, and the little horn of Papacy, 
will prevail and prosper against the saints, until the 
coming of Christ and the judgment.—Dan. 7:8, 11, 
21, 22, 25-27 ; 2 Thess. 2:1-8 ; Rev. 19 : 11, 20. —
This power, instead of being converted, is to be des-
troyed at the coming of the Lord.—Dan. 7:11; Rev. 
19:19, 20 ; 2 Thess. 2:8. 
Our Saviour, in the parable of the tares and wheat, 
Matt. 13:24, 30-36, shows very clearly that both grow 
together until the harvest ; and in his exposition of 
the same, he says that the field is the world, the 
wheat the children of the kingdom, while the tares 
are the children of the wicked one. The harvest is 
the end of the world, when the angels will gather the 
tares into bundles to burn, and the saints will be 
gathered into the kingdom. There is no space left 
here for a millennium. 
We read that " in the last days perilous times shall 
come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves, 
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemous, disobedient 
to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affec-
tion , truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 
despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high 
minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God." 
These are professors of religion,—" having the form 
of godliness, but denying the power thereof : from 
such," says the apostle," turn away."-2 Tim. 3:1-5. 
In the 12th verse of the same chapter, we are told 
that " all who will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall 
suffer persecution." If it be true that the world is 
to be converted, persecution must of course cease. — 
cometh, and they shall not escape." The world is 
represented as being in a very corrupt and wicked 
state, and the professed church asleep in relation to 
the coming of the Lord. While the good servant is 
proclaiming his advent nigh, and thus giving " meat 
in due season," the evil servant is saying in his heart, 
" My Lord delayeth his coming," and begins to fight 
against the message of the good servant ; but the 
Word declares that " the Lord of that servant will 
come in an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut 
him in sunder, and appoint him his portion with the 
hypocrites ; there shall be weeping and gnashing of 
teeth." The meat in due season given by the faith-
ful servant, calls out a class of people illustrated by 
the parable of the ten virgins, which went forth to 
meet the Bridegroom. Five of them were wise, and 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps ; but the 
rest were foolish, and took no oil. The Bridegroom 
tarried beyond their expectations, and being weary, 
they all fell asleep. But soon a cry is heard; " Be-
hold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet 
him !" Now there is a waking up among the vir-
gins; the wise replenish their lamps with oil, and 
prepare for the approach of. the Bridegroom, but the 
foolish, alas ! are in an evil case ; their lamps are 
nearly extinguished, and they have no oil with which 
to supply them. They begin to beg of their com-
panions, but are advised to go to those who sell, and 
buy for themselves. They start with that intent, but 
it is too late—the Bridegroom arrives, and those who 
are ready go in to the marriage, and the door is shut. 
These know of a surety that the message, " Behold, 
the Bridegroom cometh ! " is of the Lord. They 
know that in making known that coming to the world, 
they " have not followed cunningly devised fables," 
and they " lift up their heads and look up," for 
the glorious appearing of the King of kings and 
Lord of lords. And while they still continue to wait 
for his arrival, they endeavor to arouse the people to 
a sense of their danger, and to " exhort one another, 
and so much the more, as they see the day approach-
ing." Another class do not take heed to " the sure 
word of prophecy ;" they trace not its fulfilment in 
the striking events taking place among the nations—
their lamps have gone out. But when too late, they 
will be convinced that this last proclamation is not in 
vain. Something will arrest their attention, and they 
will seek for the grace of God when too late to ob-
tain it ; for while they go to buy, the Bridegroom 
comes. 
THE ADVENT HERALD. 
LETTER FROM I. E. JONES. 
BRO. HIMES :—Will you be pleased to allow me 
to say to the readers of the " Herald," that the 
" Monitor tracts," are of a character distinct from 
the " Biblical Inquirer." The former are designed 
for tract distribution, to convince the church and the 
world of the reason of our blessed hope ; and are is-
sued four on a sheet, which can be divided and circu- 
lated separately. These are printed with new type, 
on fine paper, large cctavo size, of four pages, for $5 
per thousand, or 50 cts. per hundred, in series of 
four—one each month. In writing a tract, I place a 
candid person before my mind, who believes that 
death is fruition, and thereby overlooks the necessity 
and importance of the resurrection, the Advent, and 
judgment, and endeavor to earnestly convince him. 
The first series are : The importance of the resur-
rection, as a crowning truth : The second Advent as 
necessary a part of the gospel as the first—shown by 
the Supper, as the golden interlink of the two, and 
as the Saviour's miniature : The Millennium after 
the Advent : The signs of the times. 
The " Biblical Inquirer " is an octavo of sixteen 
pages, and is issued only occasionally as the means 
are furnished and other duties will allow. This is 
published mainly for Adventists, because that a cer-
tain class had decided to discuss the state of the dead, 
freely among us as they said, but excluded me from 
their columns so as to give only one side. In the first 
place, I greatly desired that brethren would waive 
this sc
ussion, and unite their whole strength and 
devote their whole time and means to the promulga-
tion of the Advent truth. But when a certain class 
decided otherwise, I did not complain, provided it 
were discussed under a proper name, so as not to in-
volve the other side in its responsibilities. Finding, 
however, they continued to put it in the front of 
what they pleased to call an Advent paper, and that 
my side of the question was scarcely noticed, except 
to be incorrectly stated, I at length, after waiting 
nine years, entered those columns as a reviewer ; on-
ly asking that each side should have equal space. 
No complaint was urged against me for being uncoils- 
teous, or in any way departing from a Christian tem-
per. I did not notice the personal attacks of many 
letter-writers which were freely admitted, nor once 
call my opponent to order, whatever might have been 
his language ;—gave no insult, and noticed none, and 
yet was excluded from the paper — and named, 
'• Gladiator-general." I was, therefore, compelled 
to see the subject presented only on one side, as op- 
posed to the belief of Bro. Miller, and of between 
thirty and forty other preachers, and many members, 
or myself open a medium of communication. 
In the " Biblical Inquirer," any who wish, can 
find the subject calmly and respectfully presented ; 
and if the demand for it should warrant, after the 
second number it will be issued monthly, for 50 cts. 
a year, and one half of it he devoted to that subject, 
giving equal space to both sides. 
A large portion of both sides of this question, 
have desired, with myself, to avoid extraneous ques- 
tions, and present a bold, united front to a scoffing 
world ; but have equally desired, if discussed at all, 
that it should be done fairly, and in a Christian tem- 
per, so as not to engender strife. This class, I am 
satisfied, embraces a large majority of Adventists. 
They expect, while seeing " through a glass darkly," 
to differ on various subjects ; which they are able to 
do without pride of opinion, or personalities. 
I will here state, that accompanying my first arti-
cle to the " Harbinger " was a private note, respect-
fully suggesting that Brn. Marsh and Himes should 
unite and issue a paper on that subject in New York ; 
and avoid it as far as practicable,—that is, as a 
prominent subject,—in the other .papers. This, like 
three other private notes, requesting the return of de-
clined manuscripts, was not noticed. A similar 
shall say Peace and safety, then sudden destruction. proposition was previously made to Bro. Himes,in 
.),1, 
WETHERBEE & LELAND, Wholesale and Retail Dealers i ii 
Ready-made Clothing. Also, particular attention given to cus-
tom work. No. 47 Ann-st., second door south from Blackstone-st.

less courteous language, and was at once replied to, 
and with an affirmative. The friends will therefore 
understand the reasons for issuing the " Biblical In-
quirer," and its distinct and leading character from 
the " Monitor tracts." I entreat for these, especially 
the tracts, the earnest prayers of the faithful. Peace 
to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ. 
P.S. I first published the price of the " Inquirer," 
in a tract entitled, " The Character of Christ," 
which has been twice repeated in the " Herald." I 
have been put to extra expense in getting out the 
first number, which has induced me, trusting in the 
kindness of the friends, to put the price of this num-
ber as follows : six cents single ; fifty cents per doz-
en ; $3 per hundred. Orders received before this, 
will be filled at the price first stated—viz. : $3 per 
hundred ; 37 1-2 cts. per dozen ; 4 cts. single.

Brooklyn, April 3d, 1850. 
LETTER FROM J. LENFEST. 
DEAR BRO. HIMES :—I am just returned from my 
visit to Nova Scotia, where I have spent about five 
months. It has been a profitable one in many res-
pects. I remained in Halifax some four or five 
weeks, and issued fifteen hundred copies of a little 
paper called the " Sheet Anchor." These have been 
scattered over different parts of the province. When 
I left Halifax for Cornwallis, I travelled on foot, and 
thus had opportunity to distribute them from house 
to house. At a little place called St. Croix, I 
stopped and preached twice to attentive congrega-
tions. This place is thirty-six miles from Halifax. 
From this I passed on to Falmouth, where I preached 
four times, to deeply interested audiences. This 
place is ten miles from St. Croix. In both places 
they are very destitute of the means of grace, and 
religion is at rather a low ebb. Many of the people 
would doubtless take hold of the truth, could proper 
care be taken of them. They desire to hear. 
My next move brought me to Cornwallis, twenty-
three miles from Falmouth. Here duty seemed to 
require that I should make a stand ; consequently, I 
have spent the most of the time there, for the last 
four months. Making this a centre, I have branched 
in all directions, and in most of the places visited, a 
remarkable attention has been paid to the truths ad-
vocated. 
About the 1st of February I re-visited Falmouth, 
and preached six times The people are much inte-
rested. 
At Cornwallis the state of things is very encou-
raging. The brethren have come together, estab-
lished prayer and conference meetings, and appear 
determined to dwell together in love and union. A 
spirit of inquiry has been awakened all through that 
vicinity, and we trust great good may result. 
Receiving intelligence that my family were in ill 
health, I deemed it duty to return to them for a sea-
son. On my way, I was detained thirteen days 
at Black Rock, N. S., and had the privilege of 
preaching eight times to a people that really seemed 
desirous to know the truth. So great was the interest 
excited among them, that I was kept busy a good 
part of the time answering the many questions that 
were propunded. It was really good to be there—it 
seemed like old times. 
On the 13th February we started for St. Johns, 
N. B. ; but owing to head winds did not arrive until 
the 17th. Here 1 was detained three days longer, 
but was not altogether idle. Bro. W. W. Eaton, 
pastor of the Christian church in that city, kindly 
gave me the use of his house, and I was enabled to 
preach three times, to very attentive congregations. 
On Thursday morning I took the steamer, and ar-
rived home on Saturday evening, finding my little 
family comfortable—thanks be to a kind, overruling 
Providence. 
Now, on taking a view of the past, I am able to 
say, of a truth God has been with me, and blessed 
me abundantly in my own soul, while I have endea-
vored to proclaim the truth to others. I have never 
enjoyed better liberty in speaking, nor witnessed 
more attention to the word spoken, than during my 
late visit to Nova Scotia. I am encouraged to hope, 
that the seed sown may spring up and bear fruit to 
eternal life. If my health should permit, I purpose 
returning to the province, so soon as I can complete 
my arrangements. Yours, in hope. 
Wrentham (Mass.), March 26th, 1850. 
LETTER FROM J. R. HUSE. 
DEAR Bao. HIMES :—I communicated notice of my 
mother and sister's death last week, from Spring-
field, on my way here. I arrived in time to attend 
the funeral of my beloved parent on Friday, when a 
sermon was preached from 2 Pet. 3:14, by Elder 
Palmer, of the Methodist church, and his words were 
consoling to the afflicted family. I was gratified to 
meet all the members of our family, with many rela-
tives and neighbors, who have kindly given every 
requisite attention in our affliction, and appear truly 
to understand in what pure and undefiled religion 
consists.—Jas. 1:27. How gratifying the assurance 
that although we cannot repay, yet they shall not 
lose their reward. 
My mother died of lung fever, and being aware 
she could not survive long at most, was resigned to 
depart, which is far better. She was, however, very 
anxious to see her children once more, three of whom 
arrived too late to see her alive. We mourn her 
loss, but hope to meet in another and better world, 
for which we will wait until our change come. 
In examing the books and papers of my father, 
who died twenty-five years ago, I found the follow-
ing verses, written in an old book, dated 1792. I 
forward it for publication, if worthy a place in your 
columns. 
THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST.—WARD.—L. M. 
There is a school on earth begun, 
Supported by the Holy One : 
He sends his pupils forth to prove 
The principles of perfect love. 
Come, then, my friends, where'er you be, 
Come, will you go to school with me ? 
Christ Jesus is my master's name, 
To-day and yesterday the same. 
His school books are the Scriptures true, 
His lessons are forever new, 
His scholars—they are all agreed, 
This is a blessed school indeed. 
My Master learns the blind to see ; 
Come, then, ye blind, the school is free ; 
My Master learns the lame to walk ; 
He also learns the dumb to talk. 
My Master learns the deaf to hear, 
0 come, ye deaf, and lend an ear 
Unto my Master's pleasant voice : 
He 'II make your mourning souls rejoice. 
He learns the swearing man to pray ; 
Come, ye profane, without delay; 
He '11 change your tongue to praise his name, 
And sound abroad my Master's fame. 
Come, brethren dear,. who are at school, 
Attention give to every rule ; 
Soon we shall learn the happy art 
Of loving God with all our heart. 
Soon these frail tenements must die ; 
Then we will lay our school books by; 
We '11 reign* with Master Jesus then ; 
Glory to God—glory, Amen ! 
Extracts from Letters. 
Bro. S. TAYLOR writes from Vienna (Midi.), Feb. 9th, 
1850 :— 
I think the writings of Brn. Weethee and Hale are of 
great comfort to those who are watching and looking for the 
coming of the Son of man from heaven. It is about ten years 
since my mind was first led to this subject, and the more I 
examine it, and search the Scriptures. the stronger the evi-
dence appears, that we are living near the time when the 
heavens and earth shall be changed, the kingdoms of this 
world destroyed, and God's everlasting kingdom set up. 
May the Lord bless you in your labors, and restore you to 
health, that you may be able again to go forth to warn the 
world of its approaching doom, whether men will hear or 
forbear. We have disappointments and trials, but I am not 
discouraged, for my trust is in God. I have not the privilege 
I formerly enjoyed, of meeting with those of like precious 
faith; but I hope soon to meet all the redeemed, in the land 
promised to Abraham and his seed. 
Bro. M. CORNELL writes from Plymouth (Mich.), March 
19th, 1850:— 
During the past winter, I have visited the greater part of 
the churches in Michigan, among which there is general 
unity, except at Jackson, where the " shut door " view 
has had its usual dividing influence. A few seem to look 
upon themselves as almost infallible, and have disfellow-
shipped several worthy brethren, who have become settled 
and grounded in hope of the gospel, and are sounding the cry 
all around, endeavoring to prepare themselves, and induce 
others to prepare for the coming of the King of kings. 
I find a few in almost every place who are willing to search 
the Scriptures, to see whether these things are so,—to prove 
all things, and hold fast that which is good; but the mass 
reject the truth, and openly scoff. Among these, I am pained 
in saying, are many professors of religion. Brethren, the 
Scriptures are being fulfilled. Let us rejoice and be exceed-
ing glad, for soon He that shall come will come, and will not 
tarry. Yours, desiring to be with Christ. 
Bro. R. T. PRICE writes from Elizabethtown (N. J.), 
Feb. 9th, 1850:— 
I like the appearance of the " Herald " very much, as well 
as its contents. We are entirely destitute of Advent preach-
ing in this place, and were it not for the " Herald," we 
should get but little information on the greatest and most mo-
mentous of all subjects, which I believe concerns this pres-
ent generation. I believe we are living in that generation in 
which those signs were to occur, indicating that He is nigh, 
even at the doer. If the darkness of the sun, the filling of 
the stars, &c., which have been seen by many yet living, are 
the signs spoken of in Matt. 24th, then we must certainly be 
very near the end of this generation. If these are not the 
true signs, when and where we shall look for them I There 
is an old colored woman living in this place, (she is about 
ninety years of age, I believe,) who remembers the darken-
ing of the sun; she says that the people were obliged to light 
candles at mid-day, to suspend their work, and that the fowls 
went to roost. You have our best wishes for your success in 
enlightening the world on the subject of the near approach of 
Him whose right it is to reign. 
Bro. H. MUNGER writes from Chicopee Falls (Mass.), 
March 19th, 1850 :— 
As revival intelligence is sneering to the saints, I wish to 
give a short account of the revival in Jawbuck (Enfield), Ct. 
A portion of good seed was conveyed there from the Chico-
pee camp-meeting, which took root and sprung up, and has 
lived through all the trials and perils that surround it, hav-
ing to contend for the faith of the gospel against Universal-
ism, Shakerism, and spiritualism of all kinds. About seven 
weeks since, a conference was held by Bro. S. I. Roney, R. 
E. Ladd, and L. S. Ludington, when two or three of us felt 
it our duty to attend, and assist with our prayers. Fifteen 
were converted to God and his truth, and six or eight re-
claimed from a backslidden state. This movement stirred up 
the elements of opposition, and many stratagems were re-
sorted to to overthrow us. In spite of all opposition, how-
ever, Bro. Roney baptized nine last Sabbath, most of whom 
came out of the water rejoicing in God, with countenances 
that told that there is a blessed reality in religion, and in fol-
lowing Christ in this ordinance. The congregation was 
mostly quiet and solemn. A girl of fourteen was converted, 
who, but a week or two before, was unable to compose even 
a few lines required by her teacher. But after her conver-
sion, she commenced writing the thoughts which were daily 
in her mind. The first of these are worthy a place in the 
" Herald," and I send them to you for publication. 
[We will try to give them a place next week.] 
Bro. C. B. TURNER writes from Elizabethtown (N. J.), 
April 3d, 1859 :— 
BRO. HIMES : — I have recently visited Philadelphia, 
where I arrived just in time to assist Bro. Litch in gather-
ing a few sheaves, where he has so long and faithfully sown 
the word of life. 'When I left him, the church seemed to 
have awakened to a sense of her position and her duty.—
Such deep seriousness and intense interest as was there ex-
hibited, I have not often seen for the past few years. The 
meetings yet continue, and may God prosper the effort. I 
return in a few days to Pennsylvania, for a short time. As 
ever, yours. 
Bro. C. V. COBURN writes from Westfield (Vt.), March 
11th, 1850 :— 
DEAR BRO. HIMES : —I can truly say, the weekly visits 
of the " Herald " are cheering, and like cool water to a 
thirsty soul. I am glad to hear that the Lord's cause is pros-
pering, and that sinners are being converted, and backsliders 
reclaimed. 0, may the good work go on, till the day of the 
Lord Jesus. There are a few in this place yet looking for 
the Lord ; and though sometimes faint, yet pursuing ; com-
forthsg one another with these words, and exhorting each 
other, and so much the more as we see the day approaching. 
May the Lord grant us all grace to endure to the end, that 
we may be saved in his everlasting kingdom. May the Lord 
bless you, and grant you every needed grace, is my prayer. 
Yours, in hope of eternal life.

"I am the RESURRECTION and the LIFE : he who believeth in ME, 
though he should die, yet he will LIVE and whoever liveth and be-
ieveth in me, will NEVER die."—John 11 25, 26. 
DIED, in Berkshire, Vt., Jan. 22d, 1850, in blessed assu-
rance of a glorious resurrection, BETSEY GREEN, wife of 
Nahum Green, and daughter of Silas and Eunice Kendall, all 
fi)rmerly from Massachusetts, in the 77th year of her age. 
Often have I heard my departed mother speak with deep in-
terest of the dark day, which she witnessed. " Many," she 
used to say, " were impressed that the judgment was com-
mencing upon them. Great solemnity pervaded every one." 
Although she indulged a hope of seeing, without death, the 
King in his beauty, she is gone. Sweet sleeper, rest, till thy 
Lord shall come to awaken thee. 
A. V. 
DIED, in Wrentham, at the advanced age of 83 years, 
Mrs. ESTHER ALEXANDER. She was converted to the 
Christian faith under the sign of the dark day of 1780, and 
joined the Congregational church the June following, with 
which she remained connected till the day of her death.—
She was much interested in the second coming of her Lord, 
and delighted to hear and converse on the evidences of his 
speedy advent to the earth. She was called twenty-two 
years ago, in the providence of God, to part with her com-
panion, and during the last years of her life she was totally 
blind; yet amid all her afflictions, she possessed a good hope 
through grace, and like Job could say, " I know that my Re-
deemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day ugon 
the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, 
yet in my flesh shall I see God." We hope to meet her in 
the resurrection of the just.

DIED, in Bristol, Vt., March 24, Bro. OLIVER MOODY, 
aged 72 years. Bro. Moody experienced religion when he 
was about twenty-six years old; and for forty.six years he 
evinced the integrity of a Christian, by a devoted and faith-
ful life. He was beloved by all who knew him. Like Abra-
ham, he kept the family altar erected. Secret places also 
witnessed the fervor of his devotion. It was notAtil about 
twenty-five years ago that he united himself,with any(e-
nomination, when he connected himself with time Methcdist 
church. When Bro. Miller gave his first lectures in tl.is 
place, he embraced the doctrine of the near coming of 
the Lord, and rejoiced in the faith. He was baptized by Bro. 
Hinges in Addison. Although for two or three years before 
his death he was unable, from the nature of his disease, to 
converse with his friends, yet he remained firm in the truth 
until the last. The writer spoke on the occasion of the fu- 
neral from Ezek. 37:3. 
A. SHERWIN. 
DIED, in Brome, C. E., March 23d, of consumption and 
disease of the heart, MINERVA JANE TAYLOR, wife of 
Timothy S. IIastings, in the 23d year of her age. Our de-
parted sister was converted to God in 1841, and embraced the 
Advent faith the year following, when it was first preached in 
this region. Since that time she has lived a consistent reli-
gious life. Though she, in common with many others, was 
disappointed in not seeing the Saviour, she still continued to 
look for him. At the close of her life, she knew in whom 
she believed, and when informed that she could not survive 
through the night, and asked if she was resigned, and willing 
to leave her husband and babe, she replied in the affirmative. 
Seeing her friends around her weeping, she remarked that 
she could not weep. Shortly before her death, she requested 
them to sing the hymn— 
" What is this that steals, that steals upon my frame 
(, Is it death I" 
then calmly, without a struggle! fell 41eep. She ,was amia-
ble, unassuming, and beloved by all Who knew her. On the 
occasion of her funeral, a large and weeping audience was 
addressed by Bro. M. L. Dudley, from 2 Pet. 3 : 11-14. In 
life she was beloved, and in death lamented. But we sorrow 
not as those without hope.

BRO. HIMES:—It is with an aching heart that I now ad-
dress you. The destroyer has entered our dwelling, and cut 
down the lovely flower that we endeavored to cultivate with 
so much care. Yes, our darling child,—our only one,—has 
been suddenly snatched from our fond embrace, and we are 
left to mourn alone; and yet we are not alone, for the Lord is 
with us to comfort and sustain with the consolations of his 
grace. 0, how great, how sad the change made in our midst 
within one short week ! A week ago yesterday, he appeared 
more lively and joyous than usual, so much so that we spoke 
of it. We left him to go to meeting, and upon our return he 
bounded to meet us, exclaiming, " Papa come ! Mamma 
come !" and shook hands with us, while his merry laugh 
rang through the house, and he skipped about the room, ex-
pressing in every movement as much joy as he was capable 
of doing. How little we then thought that the next Sabbath 
we should have to follow his lifeless body to the tomb. But 
so it was. He was taken ill the following Monday, but we 
did not consider him dangerous until a few hours before he 
died ; therefore our minds were unprepared for the dreadful 
shock. He fell asleep last Friday morning, aged two years 
and seven months. 0, he was a lovely child; he was not 
only such in our estimation, but hundreds who knew him re-
marked, that he was the best and the most lovely child that 
they ever saw. Many told me not to place my affections on 
him too strongly, for so sweet a flower would not long here 
bloom. I miss him everywhere. I cannot look upon any 
object, but I am reminded of little Henry, for he was identi-
fied with almost everything. He was my constant compan-
ion, and I loved to watch the development of his intellect. 
He was a consecrated child. I had given him to the Lord a 
long time since, and many were the prayers offered for him, 
that he might be one of the Lord's precious jewels; that his 
little mind might be under the influence of the Holy Spirit, 
and that his heart might be pure and spotless. I had reason 
to believe that my prayers were answered, for so amiable and 
obedient a child I never saw before. When death laid his 
icy hand upon him, I did not take back the gift from the al-
tar, but could still say, The will of the Lord be done. For 
the first time, I have been made to drink the bitter cup of af-
fliction; but I sorrow not as those who have no hope. When 
my dear babe was laid in the silent tomb, I left him with Jo-
sus. I know that His eye marked the place where he was 
laid, and that He would watch the sleeping dust until he bid 
it rise. How very precious to me, in this hour of affliction, 
is the hope of the gospel. It throws its light around the 
grave, and speaks of life and immortality beyond. 
How dear now to my heart is the Saviour, who died in or-
der to bring up again the sleeping saints, and make them 
equal to the angels, to die no more. He has promised to ran-
som my little one from the power of the grave; and if I shall 
be faithful to God, he will permit me to see him again, all 
immortal and glorious. I know that he is safe, for " of such 
is the kingdom of heaven." Faith looks forward but a little 
from this, arid " the earth shall cast out her dead." The 
" children shall come again from the land of the enemy, they 
shall come even to their own border." I feel an interest in 
the resurrection now that I never felt before. I long for the 
kingdom to come, that death may be swallowed up in victory, 
and the saints enter that land where the inhabitant will 
never say, " I am sick." Bro. Stinson preached a very com-
forting discourse from Job 5 : 8—" I would seek unto God, 
and unto God would I commit my cause." We have found 
it good thus to do. We find his grace to be sufficient for us. 
There are many where I visited in Massachusetts the last 
summer, who perhaps will drop a tear with us for the little 
one they felt so much interested in. Many know how to sym- 
pathize with me. 0 that the hope which now sustains me, 
might sustain every one who has been thus bereaved. 
He whom we loved now sleeps 
Beneath the cold, damp sod, 
Dust to the dust returned, 
The spirit to its God, 
The golden bowl is broken, 
Loosed is the silver cord; 
But he will be restored, 
For God hath said the word. 
Yes, He who died will raise 
That form so lately sown, 
Impart an endless life, 
And claim it for his own.

A NEW SINGING BOOK. 
(REVISED EDITION.) 
Fir 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 of 171 choice tunes, and it 
now contains more than any other collection. It is divided into three 
parts, all of which are embraced in one volume, and is designed for 
the 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 
330 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 for special 
occasions. 
PARTS II and Ill—Contain all that is valuable of the Vestry Mu-
sic now in existence, consisting of the most popular Revival Melo-
dies, 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 of music 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 Mae, 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.

THE ADVEN T HERALD, 
a pamphlet, purporting to be a reply to that of Bro. H. This 
work ruthlessly and remorselessly drags into the dispute mat-
ters on almost every conceivable subject, with about as much 
propriety, as it would be to canvass the merits of rival race-
horses. Such a conglomeration of nonsense, we will venture 
the assertion, was never before comprised within a pamphlet 
of 34 pages; the whole replete with ridicule and misrepre-
sentation. 
On the 13th of last Feb. a Missionary meeting was held in 
Frost Village, at which Bro. H. was present. His pamphlet 
was taken up for discussion. The second speaker was Mr. 
BORLAND, who was head and foremost in the melee, for 
the proceedings are not entitled to a more dignified appellation. 
The correctness of Bro. H.'s claim was not questioned, but 
another offset was dragged to the debit side of the Missionary 
ledger. And what do our readers suppose this was? Why, 
the charge for his being three years in the Theological Insti-
tution in London, and the expense of his voyage from England 
to Canada. On the 26th of the same month, a meeting was 
held in Waterloo, for the purpose of furnishing the public 
with an examination of the arguments advanced against Bro. 
H.'s pamphlet by Mr. BORLAND. Bro. H. disposed of the 
Theological Institution business by remarking that 
" The speakers did not inform their audiences that he was re-
ceived as qualified for the Wesleyan Ministry, before there was 
such an Institution, and that it was a Isere circumstance his ever go- 
ing to it that as the flower of his age and strength was spent in 
that cause,—that as his leaving that Connexion, because of his Ad-
vent views, was not a matter of choice, but of necessity,—and that 
as he had contributed at different timers to that Institution, also to 
the Centenary and Mission Funds, making in all a considerable 
:iditacu,2,11- felt himself little, if anything in debt on the score of 
And as to the expense of his voyage, he read an extract 
from a book entitled " Missionary Regulations," showing that 
they had no right to prefer such an offset. The extract reads 
thus :—" According to our regulations, every brother, till his 
probation is over, being [is] considered as owing the Commit-
tee a proportion of his outfit of books and clothing." Bro. 
H. not only served out his probation, but about four years 
more, and according to the obvious import of the law above 
quoted, the offset was not valid. 
BroValso stated, that he had paid £7 a year into the 
Preachers' 1lllld for eight years, with the view of obtaining 
the benefit of it when disabled, as he is at present ; that that 
money (in addition to the £66) belongs to him, though in 
the Preachers' Fund, and they reaping the benefit of which 
he is deprived. Instead, therefore, of there being due him 
only what he claims, in reality there is a much greater sum, 
viz., the balance on his salary, his deposit in the Preachers' 
Fund, together with the interest on the whole, for the entire 
period during which he has been kept out of his due. 
We have not space to go further into the subject at pres-
ent; we have said thus much in justice to Bro. H.; we shall 
say something shortly in our own behalf, and in that of the 
Advent cause in Canada.

years of age. who was concerned is the rebellion in Canada, and ar-

went to Oregon, from thence to California, where he fared rather 
better than in fighting her Majesty's troops.

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
BOSTON, APRIL 13, 1 S 30. 
IL HUTCHINSON AND THE WESLEYAN MISS. COM.—
LI accordance with the intention expressed last week, we now 
attempt to lay before our readers a brief statement of the dif-
ferences existing between Bro. H. and the Wesleyan Mis-
sionary Committee in Canada East. This is deemed neces-
sary at this time, in consequence of the notoriety that has re-
cently been given to these differences; and the attempts that 
are made to use them to the detriment of the Advent cause. 
Justice to Bro. H. also requires, that the true state of the 
case should be known, and the abuse and misrepresentation 
he has suffered exposed. Adventists in Canada, who under-
stand the merits of the case, have felt the need of a channel 
for the free expression of their views and feelings; and those 
who are but imperfectly informed on the subject, have been 
at a loss how to return an unqualified denial to the charges, 
which they believe to be utterly false. 
Most of our readers are aware, that Bro. HUTCHINSON 
was sent out from England as a Wesleyan missionary, to la-
bor in Canada. In the latter part of 1842 he became inter-
ested in the doctrine of the Second Advent, and warmly es-
poused it. This soon led to his withdrawal from the Wes-
leyan connection. When he retired, there was due him on 
his salary a balance of £66 6s. ld. He was requested to 
furnish his successor with an account of this deficiency, and 
of his receipts on his circuit up to the time of his leaving, 
which lie did, supposing that it would be adjusted at the Dis-
trict Meeting in the spring of 1843. A few days after this 
meeting, learning that his claim was not attended to, he met 
the Secretary, who replied to his inquiries, by giving him to 
understand that his demand would be cancelled. Thus far 
he had received no intimation that he was not justly entitled 
to the sum in question. A second District Meeting pa yd 
over without his receiving any official response, when' 
wrote to the Chairman, inquiring the reasons for the neglect. 
In reply, that functionary said, that one reason was, that he 
(Bro. H.) had not preached Methodism during the time for 
which he claimed the amount; and second, that the funds of 
the circuit had suffered during the year he left. 
When it is remembered, that this sum of £66 6s. Id. was 
for only three quarters of a year, and that the account was 
made up to the time when Bro. H. commenced preaching the 
Advent doctrine,—and no farther,—it will be seen that the 
first plea for withholding payment is perfectly futile. If Bro. 
H. did not preach Methodism, he certainly did not preach 
Adventism. Besides, why did not the Chairman of the Dis-
trict Meeting, who was stationed near Bro. H. during the 
time it is alledged that he did not preach Methodism, arraign 
him before the proper tribunal 1 If he was cognizant of 
such departure from Methodistical usage, he was culpable in 
not making it known. And if he was ignorant of any such 
course, the presumption is, that no such offence was commit-
ted. As to the falling off in the funds in the circuit during 
that year, Bro. H., in a letter to the Chairman and Members 
of the Wesleyan Methodist District Meeting of Eastern 
Canada, dated Waterloo (C. E.), May 2d, 1848, says :— 
" Those who are acquainted with the country circuits, 
they were at that time, know, that nearly all the money 
whether for the support of the stationed preairr, or for 
Missions, were raised during e.i/se closing two or three month 
of the IViethodistical year, and my connection with the circui, 
 
ceased prior to those months. And consequently, I ought not 
to be made responsible for the financial failure. However, 
take the year on which I left, along with the two previous 
years I was on the circuit, and I venture to say, that the ag-
gregate amount of money raised will surpass any three previous 
years en the circuit, or any three subsequent ones." 
A preacher who heard this statement read, said, " I can bear 
witness to the truth of that." 
The above are in brief the essential grounds on which the 
claim and its denial are based. And though other points 
have been raised to justify the non-payment, they are mani-
festly so absurd in their character, (and were not thought of 
at the outset,) as scarcely to merit attention. Bro. H. has 
never refused to entertain an offset to his claim, if such could 
be preferred, presented by the proper authorities, and in the 
proper form and place; and if found to cover the amount de-
manded, or any portion of it, he was ready to admit it. But 
such a course was not pursued; he was treated at first with 
silent contempt, and afterwards met with puerile offsets, and 
calumny and misrepresentation. 
During the last seven years, this matter, from being sim- 
ply an unadjusted pecuniary claim between Bro. HUTCHIN-
SON and those who have the management of the financial af-
fairs of the Wesleyan body in Canada, has degenerated into 
attempts to blacken the character of Bro. H., and to destroy 
the Advent cause in Canada, of which he is so prominent 
and efficient an advocate. Mis-statements the most gross 
have been industriously circulated; ridicule, bitter personali-
ties, loose, coarse jests (such as none of cultivated feelings, 
to say nothing of Christianity, would utter,) have been ap-
plied to him, in common with our brethren everywhere, in 
consequence of which the original question in dispute has 
been measurably lost sight of. Justice, however, requires us 
to state, that there are some of Bro. H.'s former fellow-laborers 
who do not participate in this disreputable work of defama-
tion, but have ever treated him with respect, and still express 
their confidence in his honesty. (The most conspicuous of 
his assailants is the Rev. JOHN BORLAND, to whom we al-
luded in our last. We shall content ourselves this week in speak-
ing of this individual in general terms, reserving remarks on 
him for a future time.) 
Bro. H., feeling indignant at the wicked aspersion of his 
character by his enemies, and considering that further silence 
on his part would be construed as an admission of his guilt, 
and that the cause for which he had sacrificed so much, and 
for which he was willing to suffer much more, would thereby 
be injured, published a pamphlet, in which the whole matter 
was clearly and concisely set forth. Connected with his own 
claim, he gave an account of the system pursued in the col-
lection and disbursement of moneys for foreign missions.—
This latter fact,—which Bro. H. was compelled to bring out 
in self-defence,—had the effect of opening the eyes of some 
unsophisticated souls, whose idea of the manner in which 
things were carried on was rather different from what it is 
now. This called up Mr.. BORLAND,. who forthwith issued 
— Eleven camels were imported into Baltimore two weeks ago 
from the Canary Islands, intended for the far West, to test whether 
they can be raised and acclimated in that region. 
— Albert C. Gaskins was recently convicted at Charleston on four 
indictments, of robbing the mail, and was sentenced to forty years' 
imprisonment at hard labor in Edgefield jail—ten years on each 
offence. 
— Although the Jesuits have been engaged in the work of missions 
among the heathen more than two hundred years, not an instance is 
on record where they have sought to accomplish their work by 
translating the Scriptures into the language of the people. Popery 
has no greater enemy titan the Bible.

— The " Jamestown (N. Y.) Citizen " says, that the house of Mr. 
James Rouse, of French, Creek, was consumed by fire on Sunday, 
the 17th ult., and that four of his children perished in the flames. It 
is said that the parents were attending a meeting at a considerable 
distance from house, leaving their five children to take care of the 
house. The fifth child was badly burned, but it is thought will re-
cover. An idiotic girl, it is thought, set fire to the bed clothes with 
a candle.

— Miss Jane A. Dixon, aged 24, daughter of Russell Dixon, of 
Bridgewater, N. Y., left the house of a relative in Rochester on the 
18th of Oct. last, in company with a young gentleman who was to

A letter written by Dr. Chancey, of Boston,. more than sixty-
eight years ago, states that all the printers in Boston had not type 
enough to print an edition of the Bible ; and if they had, the needful 
paper could not be procured without sending to Europe. 
The " Sullivan Whig " states, that a Mrs. McGrah died at Lib-
erty on the 3d ult., after a long and painful illness. According to a 
request she made, a post mortem examination was held upon her 
body, and a tumor taken from the neighborhood of the liver, weigh-
ing thirty pounds. So much had it filled the chest, that it had broken 
several ribs front the back.

At a late meeting of the city council of Buffalo, N. Y., a peti-
tion from nearly fifteen hundred ladies was presented and read, pray-
ing that licenses for the sale of intoxicating drinks he denied, and 
that every violation of the excise law be rig( ro.isly perished. 
In Pittsburg, the 24th nit., a little girl seven or eight years of 
age, died from the effects of over exertion in skipping the rope. 
Three days previous to her death, a spirit of emulation arose be-
tween tier and her playmates as to which could jump the greatest 
number of times consecutively, and by extraordinary exertion wRS 
enabled to accomplish tree hundred, and fiG. but her life proved 
the forfeit.

in the New York penitentiary, after forty years' imprisonment. 
— We learn from a Western paper that there is to be a magnifi-
cent monument built on the banks of the Ohio river, to the memory 
of the illustrious Fulton. The site is one which was owned by him-
self, he having become possessor of it by a patent from Government, 
and is a most beautiful and appropriate spot. It is on a high bluff on 
the east bank of the Ohio, near the new manufacturing town of Can-
nelton, Ind. All Mechanic Institutes and Associations are to be in-
vited to contribute a block of stone towards the structure with ap-
propriate inscriptions. Daniel Webster has been invited to lay the 
corner stone on the 4th of July next. 
— In tearing down the Rochester Hotel in Courtlandestreet, New 
York, a portion of the rear will fell a few days since, burying three 
persons under the ruins. The master builder, through whose care-
lessness the accident occurred, and a laborer, were taken out dead.
