From " Statistics of Popery in Great Bri-
tain and the Colonies," re-printed from " Fra-
zer's Magazine" for Mareh and April, 1839, 
and published for the '' Refo~mation Society," 
we make the following extracts:-
• 
It appears from various sources' that Eritain, 
the great bulwark of Protestantism, is at this 
moment the spot on which the ravenous eye of 
the Papa] hierarcy is riveted. 
For its conversion 
to an anile 811perstition, the Papal power~t are at 
this monulnt combining nnd concentrating their 
forces. 
Jesuits, like the locusts of Egypt, swarm 
in our parishes, Mass-houses, like plague-spots, 
start into existence with ominous speed. The 
fell simoom has begun its murderous course; and 
in Lancashire, for mstance, what was alit the 
garden of the Lord before it, has been left a 
waste bowling wilderness behiod it. 
The Londun corrEspondent of the " Chronique 
de Paris," midsummer, 1888, says:-
"A rem~rkable fact at present in London is, 
that the Catholic c'hapels are filled wit~ Protest-
ants, and that there are frequent conversions. 
Controversy is very warm in these, and fiods elo-
quent men to conduot it. The tone of the preach-
ers is simple and grave. They attack the churcb 
established by law, with a force which astonishes 
one, when it is rememllered that in the same 
country, not many years ago, the Catholi? wor-
ship was interdicted, and permitted only 10 em-
bassy chapels." 
It is scarcely necessary to inform the Protest-
ants of Englaud, that the Roman Cath~lic ~burch 
has recently t:oncentrated her. e~erg_tes. m oue 
great missionary and controverswlmstJtuunn. If 
able Protestant controversialists are not trained 
and fostered, who shall at alltim~s. he prepared 
to repel Popish !lophistry a~d Jesu1tlsm, and ~ar­
nestly to contend fQr the faith, many of tb~ sim-
pler sort of our people n;ay ?E> drawn aside by 
the priel'otl'l. 
:Most certamly It can no longer be 
said that PrQtestants are the aggressors. 
The !'ollowing statement is from a speech of 
the Rev. H. Seymour, delivered at a meeting in 
London, in May, 1837:-
" 1 say nothing of the statements lately made 
by one of no ordinary mould, that there was 
scarcely a Romi~h pulpit in Europe that did not 
ring with the expectancy of the full of the Church 
of England; but I would remind you of their 
boo'ks circulated in this country; they go so far 
as to as:.~ure us, that the conversion of England in 
ancient times from heathenism to Christianity, 
u:as not so rapid as Iter presevt conversion from 
Protestar.tism to Romanism! I will state a fact 
that will illu11trate thil' better than a thoneand ar-
guments. A most pious and devoted clergyman 
in the south of England was some time l!ince 
puhliely attacked and challenged to a controversy 
by a Romish priest, who extensively eirculated 
a pa•rphlet against thi.J clergyman thro-.hout his 
parish; an answer was written to tbnt pamphlet, , 
and prjoted, anc;l sent to the spot; ltut what was

Dear Bro. Rime$ :-The )anguage of !he 
Savior on a certain occasion, when addresamg 
the people and his disciples, was," Whosoever 
therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of-my 
words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; 
of him also shall the Son of man be aahamed, 
when he cometh in the glory of his Fathe~, 
with the holy angels." Mark 8 : 38. ThiS 
declaration, with others of like character, )~ave 
of late been forcibly impressed upon my mm~, 
and have given 1ise to the que:stion, What ~ 
impJied in being ashamed of Christ and h1s 
words1 From the connection, vs. 34-37, ~e 
question appears t~ be answered,--an unwil-
lingneas to give up all for Christ. The ~n­
dition of our acceptance with God, is obe_daenct 
to his commandments ; this is a sure ev1denc:; 
of love. " He that hath my commandroen~s,, 
eays the Savior, "~and keepeth them, he It IS 
that loTeth me." John 14:21. Again he says, 
v. 15, "lf ye love me, keep my comman~­
ments." V. ~3, " If a man loTe me, be w~ 
keep my words." 
The apostle Jehn, lll 
speaking of this same eubjeet, says,, " For 
this is the love of God, that we keep bll com; 
mandmenu, 1md his eommaudments are no 
grievoua." 1 John 5 : 3. "Though I speak 
with the tongues of men and angelt," say• 
Paul,'' aod have not charity (lov~), I aJD ~ 
come as sounding brass, or a tinkhnJ cym aad 
And though I have the. gift of prophecy' 
~d 
all mysteries, and all knowledge : 
aDd though I have all faith, so that I could 
JelllOVe mountains, and have not charity (love), 
1 1111 nothing. 
And though I besto" all my 
~ 
&o feed the poor, and though I give my 
bedy &o be bumt;d, a~,d hne not charity (love), 
it,rofite~ nothmg .. 1 Cor. 13: 1:-~· It was 
tbia prinClple that ammated the DlVlne bosom 
in the gift of his Son : '' For God so loved the 
lfOtld, that be gave his only begotten Son, that 
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 
but have everlasting life." John 3:16. It was 
.. :wbicb caused the Savior to weep over the 
pe of a Lazarus-that bid the widow of 
Naio to "weep not," when following the 
~
oC her " only son " to its silent resting-
; for he bade them rise : and also that 
lrinl to weep over Jerusalem when foresee-
jag ita desolations. It is love that unites the 
aJtelc flgeta, who are said to rejoice over the 
IInDer that repenteth, and it is love that unites 
God's people to him and to each other, and 
tblt bears eYidence to the world that we are 
tke tnle disciples of our Lord. 
For says the 
Sr.vior," By thi~ shall all men know that ye 
Ql mr disciples, if ye have .Jove one to auo-
•·' John 13 : 35. 
Have we, my brethren, 
tAU love, which will make Christ's yoke to us 
eiay, and his burden light 1 
Nothing less 
than this will suffice with Him with whom we 
Jape to do : for this principle in the heart is 
eaaential to obedience. 
In this age of theological disputes and con-
tradictory theories, we find men very tenacious 
nout some peculiar point. in their faith, to the 
aeglect of others, perhaps of greater import-
lflce, Thus, the Baptist is very tenacious for 
immersion ; the Presbyterian for sprinkling ; 
dle Calvinist for predestination ; the Episco-
palian for his apostolic succession ; and so on 
dlroqh the whole catalogue. 
Now so far as 
any o1 these views are sustained by God's 
word, it is duty to support them, bl)t not to 
tbe exclusion of truths equally important.-
It is our duty to attach to every truth of God's 
word the importance which that attaches to it, 
wlaea the harmony of the whole is considered ; 
ucl a wilful neglect of any portion, from a 
fli/iie &o the duty enjoined, is an evidence 
that 10 far we are ashamed of Christ and his 
word. What command is more positive, and 
10 much neglected, as the exhortation of the 
lpOetle Paul, " But exhorting one another, 
llld 10 much the more as ye see the day ap-
preicbing! " Heb. 10:25. 
Here is a positiye 
~d. And who, I ask, is doing as the 
apoetle enjoins 1 But it may be said that this 
ltnguage 't'as addressed to the Hebrew breth-
ren, and hence does not bear upon us. 
The 
,.. itaelf is a sufficient refutation of this: 
Rthe duty was certil.inly to remain incum-
.ant upon the church until the day referred to 
(of Christ's coming, see vs. 12-14, 35-37) 
lhould approach. 
But on the principle of the 
ebjector, no portion of Scripture could apply 
le•, 18 the whole New Testament was pri-
lllrily written to the churches of the first 
~tury. Again it is said, We believe Christ 
will come again, and it matters not to us 
114lelher it is near, or afar o.ff. 
This may be 
tbe aentiment of the objector, but it was uot 
the apostle's. 
The passage, however, is not 
'~estion of time, but of duty. 
Hence it 
IDattera not whether Christ's coming is near, 
or afar off, the duty remains the 'same, to 
"~hort one another," in view of the Lord's 
OGmiog, 11 and so much the more as ye see the 
:r approaching." 
But how are we to see 
p day approaching 1 
Peter informs us, 2 
et. 1 : 19, 11 We have also a more sure word 
~prophecy, whereunto ye do well that ye 
d k heed, as unto a light that shineth in a 
ar ~'until the day dawn, and the day-
~~ 
m your hearts." Our Savior farther 
~IICUI us on this point: "And when these 
~(the signs) begin to come to pass, then 
lid up! and lift up your heads ; for your 
emption draweth nigh." Luke 21 : 28.-

who love the appearing of his Son. Some of 
these are looking for his soon coming : others, 
owing to their religious training, and the in-
fluences now surrounding them, do not see the 
truth as we do. 
Such the Lord will not con-
demn: But for a wilful ignorance and oppo-
sition, there is no excuse; and we fear the 
mass are thus guilty. 
But this exhortation of 
the apostle's is not an isolated one. The Scrip-
tures abound with similar references. The com-
ing of Christ is defined by Paul to be the Chris-
tian's hope: "Looking for that blessed hope, 
and the glorious appearing of the great God 
and our Savior Jesus Christ." Titus 2: 13.-
Again, after describing the descent of the Lord, 
and the glorification of his people, he adds,-
'' Wherefore comfort (exhort, see margin) one 
another with these words." 1 Thess. 4: lB.-
This is as much our duty as it was to believe, 
to repent, or to be baptized ; or as it is to visit 
the "fatherli.ss, and the widow, in her affii~­
tion ; " or any other positive ·com mann. ·And 
we might just as well: neglect the whole, as 
from shame, or for any other reason, to wilfully 
neglect one command. 
In vain do men try to 
avoid this duty, and yet remain guiltless. 0 
that God may indelibly seal home this truth to 
our minds, that we may never be ashamed of 
Chri'st or his words. 
Upon.repeated reviews of our position, I am 
confirmed in the belief, that in all the leading 
features of our faith, we are correct. Though 
our numbers are not multitudinous, yet the 
best of all is, God is with us. 
And, having 
our minds enlightened, let us continue to ex-
hort one another, and so much the more as 
we see the day approaching. 
The path of 
duty is the only path of safety; and though 
earth and hell may oppose, we shall soon 
realize, that in keeping his commandment• 
there is " great reward." 
The counterpart 
of the Savior's words is, tlt if we are not 
ashamed of him and his words, he will not be 
ashamed of us when he comes· in his glory.-
What a delightful theme is this to contem-
plate-to be honored by the " King of kings " 
when he shall sit upon his " great white 
throne'' -when before the holy angels he 
shall bid us welcome into his joys.-
" Our eyes ahallthen with rapture 
The Savior's face behold! 
Our ft'et no more diverted, 
Shall walk the !<treets of gold." 
We shall then, as t]J.e reward of our faith-
fulness, with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and 
the great and good of every aga, be privileged 
to sit down in the kingdom of God, to go out 
no more for ever. 
"0 h!lppy day, 0 !!lorious hope ! 
My heart leavs forward 11t the thouglll, 
When in that holy, happy hmd, 
We'll no more take the parting hand." 
The brethren here still feel encouraged to 
persevere in the well begun work. 
Since my 
last, we have had several other additions to 
our society. 
We appreciate, and feel much 
interest in the support of, the "Herald," but 
our means are limited. 
We hope that those 
of our brethren who have enough and to spare 
of this world's goods, will remember their 
duty. 
It is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. 
Yours in the "blessed hope,"

Bro.Isuc N. PATH! writes from Bloomfield (N.J.), 
Feb. 22d, 1847 :-
Dear Bro. Himes :-I will state a little cir-
cumstance which occurred about six weeks ago, 
in the 1. E. Church in this place, of which I was 
a member. 
For years past I have been in the 
habit of carrying a Bible in my pocket, and at 
meetings, when the text was named, I usually 
turned to it, and followed the preacher as well as 
I could. On the occasion referred to, the minis-
ter, after proceeding but a little way in his dis-
course, halted, and said, he wished those who 
had Bibles would leave them at home, or keep 
them in their pockets while in church, and listen 
to the preacher. 
In the afternoon, I asked him 
if he meant me. 
He replied in the affirmative, 
and said he bad been requested to do so, and that 
be should have apoken of it long ago. 
On in-
quiry, I found that the minister had been asked 
to make the remark by some who did not profess 
religion. Another·Advent brother asked for the 
privilege to fetch his book to church. The minis-
ter said h~: might; and moreover, he wanted all 
his members to fetch them. 
Why this refusal 
in the one case, and permission in the other, 
needs a wiser head than mine to comprehend. 
One charge against me was, that I read and sup-
ported the " Herald,, instead of the " Advocate 
and Journal." If h'e knew as much as you and 
I know about that, he would perhaps have had 
less to say. 
I asked for a certificate of member-
ship; but he refu1eil, and ordered my name to be 
erased from the book without a trial. 
I now at-
tend the Protestan Methodiat Church, the minia.. 
ter of which preach• the coming of the Lord. 
Bro. I. E. Jo 81 bu preacbed for him aneral 
times. The Lord is with him, and sinners are 
being converted under his labors. 
Bro. D. I. RoatN~ON writes from Cleveland (0.), 
Ft'b. 24th, 1847 :-
Bro. Himes :-We have had a small company 
here anlf at Akron, and also in some other towns, 
who are holding on to the faith, notwithstanding 
all the errors and apostacies of the last two years. 
Sometimes it has appeared that we 11hould be re-
vived nod united; but since Bro. Cook was here 
last'fall, it has been worse than ever before.-
Those he led off have gune back to the churches, 
or nowhere. About a year ago, when he an!l his 
wife were nt my hou~e, they took the same 
ground that he heard you had taken, and for 
which he denounces you .. They said that who-
ever went back to reckon chronology, or re-adjust 
it, was backslidden ;-that we sh•mld have no 
more time. 
When here last fall, he took the 
gr.ound,. that all he had written or preached he 
stall h11heved-he could not retract one iota-that 
we are now in the judgment-the Bridegroom 
corne-the door shut-the seventh angel sound-
ing-the Lord come, in some sense, though l)ot 
personally. And whoever reads his sermons and 
lettMs to the " Day Star " of last year, must see 
that he went the whole length of these views with 
the spiritualizers. They, with all others here un-
derstood him to be on their side, except in s;ying 
that the Lord had unqualifiedly come, and that 
persons should leave their families, and go to the 
Shakers. 
He took the ground that the resurrec-
tion was taking place, and we could now be im-
mortal by faith. 
His influence to lead into these 
evils out West has been greater, I think, than 
thRt of any one else. And s<) I think he will find 
it .in the day of. the Lord. 
But it is past, and he 
will not recall 1t-and we can 1 only deplore it. 
There is now a greater opening to hear in this 
region than for the last two years. I expect to 
come East in a month or two, if the Lord will. 
If any good brother could. come out· here and 
travel this season, he could do good, nod live. 
Love to the dear brethren, and to your family. 
Bro. EPHRAIM WALKER writes from West Bec)l:r.t, 
March 5th, 1847:-
~Dear Bro. Himes :-I still feel it my duty to 
help sustain so valuable a sheet aiJ the " Herald," 
which weekly comes ladeoed with fruits of the 
kingdom, 
Although very many have drawn back 
(and I fear, to perdition), the evidences shine 
brighter nod brighter that the vision will not tarry 
long, but will soon speak and not lie,-for at the 
time appointed the (
d shall be, It is with joy 
and rfljoicing, by the grace of God, that I Rill 
enabled tohold on to the promi~es, thereby gain-
ing strength in every engagement with the pow-
ers of darkness. 
That the world loves darkness 
rather than light is evident to me from tbe indif-
ference atJd blindness manifested by the ministry 
and people. 
(See Isa. 24 : 2.) 
There is great 
opposition to those who are warning a world ly-
ing in sin, that the great erisi~ is nt hand: I real-
ize that the enquiry is now pressing upon us, 
" Watchman, what of the nighn If ye will, 
enquire, enquire ye, return, come." "Watch 
ye, therefore, for ye know not when the Master 
of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or 
at tha cock crowing, or in the morning; lest 
corning suddenly, he find you sleeping." 
I feel 
Rensible that we have pnssed the third watch, and 
the fourth cometh quickly, with all the realities 
that attend the close of the siith ileal, and the 
opening of the seventh. In those days shall men 
seek death, and shall no~ find it, but shall go 
away into everlasting punishment, nod the 11moke 
of their torment ascend for ever and ever. 
Bro. JoHN E. BABNEB writes from Waterford (Pa.), 
Feb. 23d, 1847 :-
Dear Bro. Himes :-Nearly six months since 
I left Philadelphia, in company with Bro. Boyer. 
You have before had an account of our labors 
on our way to Centre County. 
When I arrived 
at that place, I was rflquested by the brethren to 
stay with them through the winter; aud until 
about one wet!k since, I have been laboring in 
that County, where, it may fully be said, the 
harvest is great. There is an open door there. 
Some few weeks •ince, being invited by the pas-
tor of the colored church in Bellefoot to preach 
during a protracted meeting, I did so one night, 
the only time in which I had leisure. Sinners, 
like Saul of old, fell to the ground. Out of nine 
or ten who were concerned, two or three received 
pardon, and rejoiced in God. There is yet mercy. 
On the lOth of this month, the Roman Catholics 
locked the school-house where I hod an appoint-
ment to preach. The inblrbitanu were very much 
enraged. It was opened the next evening, when 
I spoke freely on the rise and progress of the 
Papacy. The interest was very great. Though 
we were at Jirst called false prophets, now the 
feeling is different. 
Bro. Hazlett and myself are 
now holding a protracted meeting here; the in-
terest is very great, ~cially 10 last Sunday 
evening. We are still continuing our meeting, 
and I think, from present appearances, that pre-
judice will be considerably broken down. There 
ia a large field of labor in this region, and good 
m~bt be done. 
I feel encouraged to labor, and 
wa1t till Jesus comes, knowing we shall then be 
ptbered home. 
Yo1ll'l in the bleaed hope.

Bro. D. S. L1wrs write• from $t. Johne (C. E.), Feb. 
26th, 1847 :-
Dea1' Bro. Himes :-The Advent cause is re-
viving in the adjacent towns. The spirit of per-
t!ecution existing in 1 he churc~hes has raused many 
of their candid and reflecting members to search 
the Scriptures roore closely for themselves, and 
the result of their re earches has been their con-
viction that the great day of the Lord 'is at hand. 
They are daily adding thems~:lves to our number, 
pr?ising God fnr the truth, 11nd the light shed on 
rt m the gospel, and rejoicing in hope of the 
promi!led inheritnncu. Our opponents have done 
?s. much towards bringing tho11e who have lately 
JOmed us to a knowledge of the truth (by their 
bitter sareasms, misrepresentations, false accusa-
tions, and public ridicule) atJ 9ur friend !I have

The prospects before us are favorable-our num-

P. H. Hough 
wrote you a few weeks ago, and gave you a 
~tatement how the Advent cause was prospering 
10 these parts, I would now add, that it iiJ still 
more prosperous. 
There is a gre&t desire mapi-
fested by the people in general to hear oq the 
11ubjeet; and every place-where we have labored, 
the people, like the noble Bereans of old, have 
been led to search the 8r.ripturea daily.._ to aee 
whether these things nre so. 
Bro. Hough and 
myself are the only two in this new field, snd are 
not able to attend half of the calls. Will Bro. 
Peter Hough and "Edwin B. White try to come 
to us as soon as possible? 
'l'he friends here say, 
that their wants shall be supplied. 
Come, breth-
ren, and help ua. 
Bro. Hough held a discussion 
n few days ngo with a persou, whose ignorance 
of the truth entirely disqualifiE'd him for the un-
dertaking, and at the same time afforded an OP-
portunity to show how far the truth outshines that 
from which the people of the world argue for 
peace and safety.

Bro. Edwin

"ith us. 
This has been one of the most interest-

came in from abroad, so that we had a full house. 
All felt that it waa truly good to be present. The 
ruths presented by our brethren served greatly 
to confirm and strengthen God'• waiting people

BOSTON, MARCH 24, 1847. , 
Our Western Tour. 
We tetnrned from the West on the 12th 
inst., much exhausted, but in tolerable health, 
and gave lectures to the beloved people of OUJ 
old charge on Sunday, the 14th,' in the Saloon 
in this city. 
We visited Rochester, Buffalo, Lockport, 
Attica, Jame11town, Gerry, Laoni, Seneca 
Falls, Oswego, Sodus, Albany, and Troy. In 
all of' these places we gave one or more lee· 
tures; in most of them, from three to seven. 
\? e never spoke to more crowded, intere&ted, 
and inte11igent audiences. 
Nor did we ever 
feel more deeply the importance of the posi-
tion we occupy. 
The responsibility which 
rests upon the Advent brethren is immense. 
The excellence of the doctriue is to be shown 
by a life ·of superior purity, and devotion to 
God. 
We must show ouJ'861vea more active 
in all the works of mer~y and righteousness 
than others, or it will be vain to tiilk of the 
superiority of our faith. 
The cause all through the West was in a 
much better 'condition than we had any idea 
of. 
The elements of fanaticism, e~hibited in 
false views on sanctification, have ceased to 
exist, and the churches ~re now free from the 
contagiqn. 
In almost every place, there is a want of 
good pastors. 
Tne almost universal request 
from destitute societies was, " Can you not 
send us a good pastor1'' They have, in com-
mon with us in the East, suffe!ed much from 
a class of men calling themselves Adventists, 
but who travel through the country for what 
they can get. 
The brethren are now deter-
mined to receive none but those they know to 
be good men. 
But where shall we find the good shepherds 
to ftled the flock in this trying time~ There 
never was such a want of laborers as now ; and 
yet the number is less than at any previous 
time. 
But where shall we find them 1 Will
