loon just as the keeper was thrusting a young man 
out into the street. He was very young and 
very pale, but his haggard face and wild eyes 
told that he was very far gone in the road to 
ruin, as with oaths he brandished his clenched 
fists, threatening to be revenged upon the man 
who had so ill-used him. This poor young man 
was so excited and blinded with passion that he 
did not see the lady,who stood near to him, until 
she laid her hand upon his arm and spoke in her 
gentle, loving voice,asking him what was the mat-
ter. 
At the first kind word the young man started, 
as though a heavy blow had struck him, and 
turned quickly round, paler than before, and 
trembling from head to foot. He surveyed the 
lady for a moment, and then with a sigh of relief 
he said : 
"I thought it was my mother's voice, it sound-
ed so strangely like it ! But her voice has been 
hushed in death for many years." 
"You had a mother then," said the lady, "and 
she loved you." 
With the sudden revulsion of feeling which 
"Be not weary in well doing." 
These words will be recognized as those of the 
apostle Paul : they are practical,comprehensive, 
and important. Many centuries have elapsed 
since they were written,but they are ever applica-
ble to all those who are in the way of well doing. 
To see the importance of such an exhortation, we 
have only to look at the temptations there are 
to become weary in the way of righteousness, 
and to think of the many who have yielded to 
these temptations, and turned aside from the 
way of right, and of whom it is said, "they did 
run well for a season." 
The temptations to become weary in the way 
of well doing are all around us : we have them 
from within and without. The general course of 
of the world is opposed to that of' righteousness, 
there is great antagonism between right and 
wrong—a constant warfare between sin and ho-
liness, and he who would do well must engage 
in this mighty struggle, and continually, with ar-
mor on, battle for the right. There is no time 
to cease laboring in the vineyard of the Lord : 
we must ever pursue the onward march ,however 
great and numerous our foes may be. The great 
adversary of souls will present his allurements 
in various forms to tempt us to depart from the 
right, but we must heed them not : our purpose 
must be firm, our determination unwavering, and 
our zeal to go onward, resolving that we will 
know no weariness in the cause of the right. 
But while we have temptations to be weary in 
well doing, we have many and strong induce-
ment not be weary : among them is the hearfelt 
satisfaction which one feels who has the blessed 
consciousness that he is doing well. And there 
is the blessed assurance to those who are in the 
right way that divine strength shall be given to 
assist. Were it not for this we should have rea-
son to faint and tire in the race-course to eternal 
life ; for we are weak indeed of ourselves, and 
without aid from a greater than human source, 
should assuredly fall : but seeking and receiving 
the promised strength divine, we may say with 
Paul, "I can do all things through Christ which 
strengtheneth me." Therefore let us go forth 
"strong in the Lord, and in the power of his 
might ;" unwearied in works of faith, and labors 
of love. The examples we have of those who 
have pursued this course are a source of encour-
agement to those who would walk in the same 
path. The illustrious Paul is a conspicuous ex-
ample : he had much to contend with—many 
trials to encounter—much persecution to meet 
for his adherence to the right : but he over-
came all. And who can read his language uttered 
when nearly at the close of his pilgrimage, and 
not feel stimulated to continue zeal and activity 
in the work of the Lord ? Many examples might 
cited from Scripture ; and the history of the 
church in all ages tells of those who have worthi-
ly and faithfully fulfilled their mission, and now 
rest from their labors. The history of Christ 
furnishes us with the most perfect example of 
not being weary in well doing. Of him it is said, 
he went about doing good. Let us pattern after 
him. Then it is the privilege of the well doer to 
look forward to the crown of glory and immor-
tality which awaits him : for there is for the over-
comer such a crown ; for him the glad hereafter 
has much in store ; and cheered by the prospect 
which it holds out, he is encouraged to pursue 
his way unweariedly. Minister of the gospel,do 
you at times become disheartened and find it di-
fficult to obey the Apostolic exhortation,"Be not 
weary in well doing ?" Teacher in the Sunday 
school, are you almost ready to give up your la-
bors in despair ? Christian, in whatever sphere 
you move, are your hinderances so great that you 
are tempted to become weary ? Think of the 
magnitude of the work in which you are engag-
ed ; think of your high and holy calling ; think 
of the certain consequences to yourself, and the 
probable consequences to others, if you suffer 
yourselves to become weary in well doing ; think 
of the eternal weight of glory, which is to be the 
final portion of those who endure to the end : 
think of these things until you are fired with new 
zeal, and come to the fixed determination to be 
faithful to the end. 
Let us even bear in mind that here we are to

God ! thou God of war ! thou God of peace ! 
Thou, whose will can strife and tumult cease ; 
Thou who dost hear our Earth's deep groans, 
That break along Columbia's happiest homes ; 
Thou who dost count each drop of precious blood, 
Stay ! 0 stay the tide ! the crimson flood ! 
God ! to thee we look, to thee, in prayer, 
While war-sounds fill the trembling air ; 
While hurled to each foe, by the cannon's fierce 
breath, 
Fatal shells bear their contents of torture and 
death, 
And thousands were slaughtered in rivers of 
blood; 
Stay ! 0 stay the tide ! the crimson flood ! 
God ! thou whose dwelling is every place, 
Thou who sees unveiled Earth's tortured face, 
And hears the orphan's feeble, piteous cry, 
The widowed mother's throbing, heartfelt sigh ; 
Thou the great giver of all that's good, 
Stay ! 0 stay the tide ! the crimson flood ! 
God ! thou whose hand held back the wave 
That closed o'er Pharaoh's host their grave, 
Thou who can'st breath into the avenged soul 
Forgiveness, and the avenging heart control,

Stay ! 0 stay the tide ! the crimson flood !

Who doth watch thy children with loving care, 
Who granteth each blessing we stand in need, 
Who has promised in mercy our prayers to heed ;

Stay ! 0 stay the tide ! the crimson flood !

The following remarks on this interesting 
theme are from the second number of a series of 
lectures on the Dispensations, delivered in Mon-
treal, C. E., by W. C. Baynes. We are person-
ally acquainted with the author, and know him 
to be an earnest believer in the speedy coming 
and kingdom of Christ. After quoting Rom. 8: 
20-23, he says : 
"The whole creation is represented as in a 
condition of expectation; and whether it is the 
earth, or he who was put in dominion over it, all 
look forward to that blessed moment when the 
curse shall be removed. Restoration, therefore, 
of the creation to its original primitive beauty, 
and the entrance of man again upon the undis-
puted lordship of it, is what we are told is to be 
effected by the Lord from heaven,—the second 
Adam,—of whom it was announced in the tem-
ple by Peter, 'the times of' refreshing shall come 
from the presence of the Lord ; and He shall 
send Jesus Christ, who befige was preached unto 
you : whom the heavens must receive until the 
times of restitution of all things, which God hath 
spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets 
since the world began.' That speech of Peter is 
a blessed gleam of the great purposes of God in 
Christ relative to this world. You will observe 
that He is announced as departing for a season 
only, and having gone into heaven. He is there 
to be retained until the time of the restitution of 
all things. 
"Now, what is the restitution ? The word 
occurs only once in the New Testament ; and as 
great and momentous truths are established by 
this and other portions, let us get a clear defini-
tion of the word. Raphelius (whom Parkhurst 
calls 'that learned and accurate critic), says that 
the word was used by Polybius to signify 'a res- 
toring of things to a state of tranquility after 
wars and tumults ;' and Dr. Doddridge translates 
it, 'the regulation of all things,' and says that 
'Dr. Thomas Burns, Mr. Whiston, and other 
learned writers, urge it for such a restoration of 
the paradisaical state of the earth as they, on 
their different hypotheses, have ventured to as-

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
The Cave of Macpelah• 
VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. 
(Continued from our last.) 
"The tombs of Jacob and Leah were shown in 
recesses corresponding to those of Abraham and 
Sarah, but in a separate cloister, opposite the 
entrance of the mosque. Against Leah's tomb, 
as seen through the grate, two green banners 
reclined, the origin and meaning of which were 
unknown. The gates of Jacob's shrine were 
opened without difficulty, but it calls for no spe-
cial remark. 
"Thus far the monuments of the mosque ad-
here strictly to the biblical account, as given 
above. The variation which follows rests, as I 
am informed by Dr. Rosen, on the general tra-
dition of the country (justified perhaps, by an 
ambiguous expression in Josephus), that the 
body of Joseph, after having been deposited first 
at Shechem (Joshua 24. 32), was subsequently 
transported to Hebron. Bat the peculiar situa-
tion of this alleged tomb agrees with the excep-
tional character of the tradition. It is in a 
domed chamber attached to the enclosure from 
the outside, and reached, therefore, by an aper-
ture broken through the massive wall itself,and 
thus visible on the exterior of the Southern side 
of the wall. It is less costly than the others, 
and it is remarkille that, although the name of 
his wife (according to the Mussulman version,. 
Zuleika) is inserted in the certificates given to 
pilgrims who have visited the mosque, no grave 
having that appellation is shown. No other 
tombs were exhibited in the mosque. Two, re-
sembling those of Isaac and Rebekah, which 
were seen (by one of our party only) within an 
adjacent smaller mosque, were afterwards ex-
plained to us as merely ornamental. 
"It will be seen that up to this point no men-
tion has been made of the subject of the great-
est interest to all of us—namely, the sacred cave 
itself,in which one at least of the patriarchal fam-
ily may still be believed to repose intact—the 
embaird body of Jacob. It may be well sup-
posed that to this object our inquiries were 
throughout directed. One indication alone of 
the cavern beneath was visible. In the interior 
of the mosque, at the corner of the shrine of 
Abraham, was a small circular hole, about eight 
inches across, of which one foot above the .pave-
ment was built of strong masonry, but of which 
the lower part, as far as we could see and feel, 
was of the living rock. This cavity appeared 
to open into a dark space beneath, and that space 
(which the guardians of the mosque believed to 
extend under the whole platform) can hardly 
be anything else than the ancient cavern of 
Machpelah. This was the only aperture which 
the guardians recognized. Once, tbey said, 
2500 years ago, a servant of a great King had 
penetrated through some other entrance. He 
descended in full possession of his faculties, and 
of remarkable corpulence ; he returned blind, 
deaf, withered, and crippled. Since then the 
entrance was closed, and this aperture alone was 
left, partly for the sake of allowing a lamp to be 
let down, by a chain which we saw suspended at 
the mouth, to burn upon the sacred grave. We 
asked whether it could not be lighted now. 'No,' 
they said ; 'the saint likes to have a lamp at 
night, but not in the full daylight.' With that 
glimpse into the dark void we and the world with. 
out must be content to be satisfied. Other en-
trances may exist, or have existed, and the 
knowledge we have acquired of the different parts 
of the platform would enable us to indicate the 
points where such apertures might be expected. 
But for the present it was the full conviction 
of those of the party best qualified to judge that 
no other entrance is known to the Mussulrnans 
themselves. The unmistakable terror to which 
I have before alluded is of itself a guarantee that 
they would not enter into the cave if they could, 
and the general language of the Arabic histories 
of the mosque is in the same direction. 
"The result of the Prince's visit may, per-
haps, he disappointing to you and to those who 
hoped for a more direct solution of the myste-
ries of Hebron. But they are, I am convinced, 
all that can at present be obtained, and I will, 
in conclusion, draw attention to two or three in-
direct benefits which may be derived from the 
use which has been made of this great opportu- 
nity. In the first place, by our entrance, the 
first step has been taken for the removal of this 
bar of exclusion from this most sacred and inter- 
esting spot. Had the Prince and his advisers 
shrunk from pressing the claim which the Turk- 
ish government had conceded, or had the Pacha 
of Jerusalem persisted in repudiating the respon-
tibility which his government threw upon him, 
the doors of the mosque would have been closed 
with a still firmer hold than before. As it is, 
although the relaxation may be slight and gradu- 
al, and although the advantages gained must be 
used with the utmost caution and forbearance, 
yet it is impossible not to feel that some effect 
will be produced even on the devotees of He- 
bron when they feel that the Patriarchs have 
not suffered any injury or affront, and that even 
Isaac rests tranquilly in his grave. And Eng-
lishmen may fairly rejoice that this advance in 
the cause of religious tolerance and of Biblical 
knowledge has been attained in the person of 
the heir to the English throne, out of regard to 
which he and his country hold in the Eastern 
world. 
"In the second place, it will be a considerable 
gain to future inquirers that a survey of the mos- 
que has been taken (however imperfectly) by 
persons who saw it not in disguise, or by stealth, 
but at leisure, and with their attention fixed on 
the objects most to be sought for. Perhaps the 
above account contains little more than might be 
gleaned from those of the early pilgrims, or of 
Ali Bey. (The latter narrative in particular,is 
as you will see, substantially corroborated.) But 
it enables us to understand them better, to cor-
rect their deficiencies, and to rectify their confu-
sion. To do this in the present letter would re-
quire more time and space than I could com-
mand ; but I am surprised to find how much 
light this short inspection has thrown on pas-
sages which before seemed to me irrecoverably 
dark. Dr. Rosen, you will also be glad to hear, 
has, with the help of one of our party, construct-
ed a ground plan of the whole platform, and I 
trust that these results in his hands, and in the 
hands of other Biblical students, will serve to 
render the Prince's visit not merely an occasion to 
be long remembered with gratitude by those whose 
entrance was thus facilitated, but a real advance 
in the knowledge of this world-renowned spot. 
The existence and exact situation of the cave, 
the closer view of the ancient enclosure within 
and without, the origin and arrangements of the 
mosque, the precise relation of the different 
tombs to each other, and the general conformity 
of the traditions of the mosque to the accounts 
of the Bible and of the early travelers, are now 
for the first time clearly ascertained. To ex-
plore the recesses of the eave and to discover 
within them (if so be) the embalmed remains of 
sert.' And I find that both Tyndale and Cran-
mer translate it, that all things be restored 
again.' Thus, whether we take one of the most 
renowned authors of Greece, or our own critics, 
or our great Bible translators, it is evident the 
words 'restitution of all things' mean the restor-
ation of the creation from the state of anarchy 
and confusion, revolt and rebellion, to one of or-
der and dsscipline ; of the condition of the thorns, 
the briers, and the curse to Eden's fruitfulness 
and blessing ; of the groaning beasts of the earth 
to their primitive happiness ; and lastly, the 
taking the power and sway of Satan from the 
earth, and substituting the righteous and holy 
reign of Christ Jesus. But, does the Scripture 
hold out such a transformation ? Assuredly it 
does, in multitude of passages."—pp. 30, 31. 
In common with most English Millennarians, 
Mr. B. differs from the Adventists on some 
points pertaining to the nature and character of 
the Millennium ; but our differences are much 
as the small clocks in a town may differ from the 
town clock, not by the hour, but by the minute 
and second ; for we are agreed that the coming 
of Christ will be personal and pre-millennial ; 
and we know that when Messiah comes he will 
make all things right. We therefore wish Mr. 
Baynes success in his efforts to arouse the church 
to the importance of investigating the "sine word 
of prophecy," and being ready for the coming of 
the Just One.—Millennial News.

Richford. 
The church of Adventists in Richford to the 
brethren assembled in conference : 
Beloved brethren, who are waiting for the re-
demption and the time when all God's children 
will be asembled, for your consolation we report 
we are increasing in numbers, and hope we are 
not diminishing in graces. Twelve have been 
added to our number the past year, the fruit 
of the power and truthful preaching which we 
had in our conference last June ; together 
with the untiring labor of Elder J. V. Himes 
last winter ; and the faithfulness of Elder S. 
S. Garvin, our beloved minister, who preach-
es the word faithfully here and elsewhere. 
Bat how much labor to accomplish so little ! 
These are truly the last days. 0 that God 
would anoint his servants anew. 0 that the church 
would rise up, leaning on her beloved, and be 
clear as the sun, fair as the moon, and terrible 
to her enemies as an army with banners. 
Two of our members have removed and one 
has died,leaving our number sixty-one. We have 
a Sabbath school in connection with the Metho-
dists and Baptists, numbering fifty occasionly. 
Prayer meetings twice a week, and covenant 
meetings once a month. 
We have chosen to sit with you in your delib-
erations and consultations Elders S. S. Garvin, 
Samuel Heath, and Porter Scott.

spiced and rejected, will then be all glorious, for 
he will have on his vesture, and on his thighs a 
name written,"King of kings,and Lord of lords." 
In conclusion, we earnestly pray that the good 
Shepherd may be with you, and guide you in 
your deliberations and crown your labors with 
success.

June, 1862. 
The next conference was appointed to be held 
in Richford, Vt., commencing the 2nd Wednes-
nesday in June, 1863 (D. V). 
In the afternoon,service beginning at 2 o'clock, 
Elder Himes preached from Dan. 12: 12, 13, 
presenting his views of the prophetic periods, 
brought to light, in the text and its connection. 
After the discourse a collection was made to as-
sist the publication department of the conference, 
which,with what was subsequently added,amount 
ed to $7.44 ;—and after a vote of thanks to the 
brethren and citizens of the place, for their hos-
pitality to the friends from abroad, the business 
sessions of the conference terminated. 
In the evening, C. P. Dow preached from 
Rev. 22 : 14, "Blessed are they that do his com-
mandments,that they may have right to the tree 
of life, and may enter in through the gates into 
the city." 
According to previous arrangement, meetings 
were continued over the following Lord's day. 
On Saturday at 9 o'clock A. M. a prayer meet-
ing was held, conducted by J. M. Orrock, who 
also preached at half past 10, from 1 John 2: 
28, "And now, little children, abide in Him ; 
that when He shall appear,we may have confi-
dence, and not be ashamed before Him at his 
coming." In the P. M. Elder Himes spoke from 
the parable of the "great supper," Luke 14: 16 
—24 ; and in the evening we had an excellent 
prayer meeting, of' which Dr. Hutchinson took 
charge. 
The social meeting on Sunday morning was 
conducted by Elder J. Chapman. The church 
was thoroughly packed with an attentive audito-
ry. Elder Himes gave two discourses on "the 
seven vials"—or a running commentary on Rev. 
15th and 16th chapters. After the forenoon dis-
course the secretary read the "Declaration of 
Principles" made at the Albany Conference in 
1845, which according to one of our by-laws we 
are required to read at every conference, that 
the public may become better acquainted with 
the views which we cherish as a denomination. 
Near the close of the afternoon service the Lord's 
supper was administered, and was to many a sol-
emn and interesting season. Dr. Hutchinson re-
fared to the day when all "the excellent of the 
Jacob, must be reserved for another generation, 
for which this visit will have been the prepara- 
tion, 
,.p. S. It may be observed that the shrines 
of Isaac and Rebekah, standing as they do in the 
the centre of' the mosque, occupy a position al-
together unusual in Mussulman buildings, where 
the corners are the places of honorable burial. 
This and their peculiar structure would lead us 
to suppose that they stand on the exact sites de-
scribed by the early Christian pilgrims. The 
belief of the guardian of the mosque is that the 
massive enclosure was built by genii under the 
direction of Solomon. The mosque they ascribe 
to the Egyptian Sultan Kalarun. They account 
for the tomb of Joshua by saying that his bod y 
was buried in the Nile for 1005 years, after 
which the secret was revealed to Moses by an 
Egyptian, on condition that Moses should marry 
his daughter. Moses did so, and carried off the 
body to Hebron. It world seem from the ac-
count of Arculf that there were seven tombs 
there in his day, but that the seventh was that of 
Adam. The tradition of Adam's burial in He-
bron, however, appears to be a Christian (not a 
Mussulman) tradition, founded only on the Vul-
gate. It occurred both to Dr. Rosen and myself 
that Arcuf's expression about the low wall (hu-
mili muro) might be explained by his having 
seen it only from the inside of the platform, 
whereas modern travellers have seen it only 
from the outside, where its height is much more 
striking. 
Canada East and North Vermont 
Conference. 
(Continued from our last.)

North Brome and East Farnham. 
Beloved brethren in Jesus Christ : — The re-
volving wheels of time have borne us on another 
year, and still earth's jubilee has not yet come. 
Long have we sighed for it, and hope being de-
ferred has made our hearts sick. Weary and 
tried in our protracted journey, we often, yes, 
very often and very ardently, desire to enter up-
on that sweet unbroken rest that remains for the 
people of God ! For several years we have been 
favored with the labors of Elder John Chapman, 
who is still our pastor, and in whom we are all 
united. During the past year we have not been 
favored with any great revival of religion ; still 
there have been three persons added to our num-
ber, which is about fifty. We sustain a prayer 
meeting twice a week when there is not preach-
ing, and have a monthly covenant meeting, and 
the Lord's supper administered once in three 
months. We have had many very good meetings, 
in which our souls have been comforted and en-
couraged to press on in the heavenly journey. 
Yours for the truth,

June, 1862. 
Brome. 
The church in Brome reports to the conference 
that a few disciples, though in the midst of the 
trials of the last days, remain steadfast in the 
faith, looking for and hoping to see the Lord. 
We believe that we must obey God rather than 
man or the spirit of this world; and feel willing 
to help sustain and defend the gospel. We have 
had trials the past winter, and severe trials too, 
but the grace of God has been sufficient for us. 
Elder Samuel Hurlbut and Ishmael Hurlbut la-
bored with us about two thirds of the time, until 
the first of February last; since which time Elder 
Ishmael Hurlbut has had the care of the church. 
Our meetings have been held regularly twice on 
the sabbath. 
Dear brethren, we feel that we are pilgrims; 
we need your prayers. We are soldiers of Jesus, 
and though we walk inthe fiesh,we do not war af-
ter the flesh ; for "the weapons of our warfare are 
not carnal, but mighty through God to the pull-
ing down of strong holds ; casting down imagina-
tions and every high thing that exalteth itself 
against the knowledge of God, and bringing in-
to captivity every thought to the obedience of 
Christ." 
Pray for us. 
_North Stanbridye. 
Brethren in conference : Since the last annual 
conference Elder C. P. Dow has labored with 
us as pastor. Once in three months we have had 
the sacrament of the Lord's supper administered 
by him. Our monthly meetings are generally 
well attended, and good attention is paid to the 
truths spoken. The names of six members have 
been dropped on account of apostacy ; four others 
have been added, making our present number 
fifty-seven. During the past fall and winter 
there have been prayer meetings sustained, 
and generally very well attended. The cause 
of Christ in this locaity is not in as prosperous 
condition as we would like to see it ; but we have 
no great reason to complain. The Lord is still 
with us by his spirit, and some are led to rejoice 
in the glorious hope of soon seeing Jesus appear 
and gather the weary ones home. My prayer is 
that we who profess to be Lord's follower may 
be prepared for the great event. 
H. N. CURRIE, Clerk. 
Fitch Bay, in Stanstead. 
The annual report of the church at Fitch Bay, 
to the brethren in conference assembled in Wa-
terloo : Mercy, grace, and peace be multiplied 
unto you, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus 
Christ. 
We beg respectfully to inform you that a few 
in this vicinity have covenanted together to walk 
by one rule, that is the Bible. 
The Adventists in by-gone days exerted a good 
influence in this place, but lived for years with-
out any church organization ; and as we must be 
coworkers with God in order to prosper,—for evil 
spirits are aboad in the land, causing dissension, 
division,and strife among the people,—a lack of 
dicipline opened the way for distraction. Divi-
sions crept in amongst us, which, together with 
"the last enemy," greatly diminished our num-
bers. At the close of a protracted meeting held 
here last winter by Elder J. M. Orrock, i was 
deemed advisable,therefore,to organize a church, 
and at that time there were sixteen who united 
together and agreed to walk in gospel order. 
Two have since been added, and others we trust 
will come and join us, to to help carry forward 
the good work. Elder D. W. Sornberger and 
D. H. Merrill were chosen to labor with us con-
jointly, one-fourth bf the time, for one year. We 
have a prayer meeting every Sabbath, and hope 
to sustain the same. 
We have the common enemy to contend with, 
but hope,through grace and perseverance,to over-
come and be found among those that shall praise 
Godin his everlasting Kingdom; and though now 
a scattered flock, then to be gathered into one 
fold, and our shepherd Jesus Christ, once de- 
earth" will be gathered into our Father's king-
dom ; and dwelt at some length on the prophetic 
periods of Daniel 12th chapter, showing that 
in order to prove when the 1335 days ter-
minate, it is not only desirable to understand the 
beginning of the 1260 days, but more needful 
to be able to terminate the starting point of the 
1290—according to the inspired declaration of' 
v. 12, "And from the time that the daily saeri. 
fice shall be taken away, and the abomination 
that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a 
thousand two hundred and ninety d/ys." But 
while we wait, and anxiously seek for light on 
some points, we have abundant evidence to con-
vince us that the gathering cannot be far distant. 
In the evening Elder Himes spoke again, giv- 
ing us a good practical discouse on diligence in 
the Lord's work, based on Joshua 18: 2, 3. Thus 
another of our annual gatherings became num-
bered with the things of the past, and though 
there was not all that interest manifested and 
apparent good accomplished which we have 
sometimes witnessed at such convocations, yet 
some evidence of the presence of the Lord was 
seen among us, and for all his mercies we felt to 
praise him. 
The re-publication of a resolution on ordina-
tions, passed last year, being desired, I give it 
here : 
Whereas, It is our duty to encourage young 
men of piety and talent to enter the gospel min-
istry ; and as we are to "lay hands sudtlenly on 
no man, "therefore, 
Resolved, That a committee of seven be ap-
pointed to look after such persons who may be 
among us, and to advise and encourage them as 
may be thought best ; and while as a general 
rule, ordinations are to be performed at the con-
ference, yet in case of apparent necessity, ordi-
nation may be performed by two or more minis-
ters of this conference, by the concurrence of a 
majority of this committee. 
The following Elders were elected said com- 
mittee : Dr. R. Hutchinson and J. M. Orrock, 
Waterloo, Shefford Co., C. E.; D. Bosworth, 
Waterbury, Vt. ; B. S. Reynolds, Moores, Clin-
ton Co., N. Y. ; S. W. Thurber ; C. P. Dow, 
Stanbridge, C. E., and S. S. Garvin, Richford 
Vt. 
The following ordained ministers attended the 
conference as members thereof : Dr. R. Hutchin-
son and J. M. Orrock, Waterloo, C. E. ; D. W. 
Sornberger, Fitch Bay, Stanstead; John Porter, 
Danville, Shipton ; Samuel and Ishmael Hurlbut, 
Brome ; John Chapman, Magog ; Thomas Buck-
ingham, Sherbrooke ; Moses Dudley, Farnham; 
S. S. Garvin, Richford, Vt. ; D. Bosworth, Wa-
terbury, Vt., and C. P. Dow, Stanbridge, C. E.

LORD PALMERSTON ON MEDIATION. 
In the House of Commons, June 30,Mr. Hop-
wood inquired whether the British government 
intended to take any steps to endeavor to put an 
end to the civil war in America ? And Lord 
Palmerston replied as follows : 
I trust I need not assure the honorable mem-
ber and the House that Her Majesty's Govern-
ment are deeply sensible of the sufferings now 
existing in the cotton manufacturing districts. 
We know that the privations in those districts 
are great, and also those who suffered them have 
endured them with the most heroic fortitude 
and patience ; (hear ! hear !) thus doing the 
greatest possible credit to their understanding 
and intelligence. They know that the sufferings 
which they endure have not resulted from any 
bad legislation or any misconduct on the part of 
the government of the country. They know 
they are caused by circumstances in other coun-
tries, over which we have no control. (Hear, 
hear). Her Majesty'sGovernment would be most 
happy if it were in their power to do anything 
which would be likely to afford relief to those un-
happy classes of the population. But I am sure

Report of the Advent Church in Shefford, 
Canada East. 
Since our last annual conference we have had 
no additions to our numbers,and three have been 
removed by death, The nnrnber of our church 
members at present is 41, but several of them 
live so remote as to meet with us but seldom. 
Only about 20 of them regularly attend our meet-
ing for public worship, Since last conference 
we have not had stated preaching, but have reg-
ularly kept up our meetings fbr public worship 
on the Sabbath,having a sermon read in the fore-
noon and having a prayer meeting in the after-
noon. We have also sustained the weekly pray 
er meeting,on Wednesday evening,with a regular 
attendance of from 6 to 8. Our Sabbath school 
has for a time suspended. Such is our present 
standing. We have a little strength remaining, 
 
and expect a greater measure of prosperity for 
the future, relying upon the promises of our 
heavenly Father, and meaning to do what we 
can. We have erected this commodious house 
and have engaged the services of Elder Orrock 
for three-fourths of the time for the ensuing year 
as our pastor. Such are our prospects, and we 
confidently expect a blessing just in proportion 
to our faithfulness; and, believing in a redemp-
tion near,vve pray that our work may correspond 
ttip 
 
with our faith, and to this

ish year, according to the present Rabbinical reck-
oning : but that is generally admitted to be a full 
month too early according to their ancient reckon-
ing—the barley being always ripe by the middle of 
the first month. The event, also, is a very marked 
one, and seems amply sufficient for the termination 
of the Mohammedan Woe Trumpet of the Apoca-
lypse ; but whether it is significant as the predict-
ed cleansing of the Sanctuary, which was to mark 
the close of the 2300 days of Daniel,is a point need-
ing more mature consideration. It may well be 
questioned whether this event equals in magnitude 
the one predicted : and it is very certain that if it 
does not, there has no event yet transpired indica-
tive of a termination, in the past, of this period.

THE 2300 DAYS. 
Continued from our last. 
REV. EDWARD BICKERSTETH,DlithOT of " A Practi- 
cal Guide to the Prophecies," London,1839, reckons 
in the same manner, but makes a two-fold com-
mencement and termination of this period. Reck-
oning the seventy weeks of the 9th chapter as a part 
of and the commencement of the 2300 days, he 
says : 
"There is a first commencement of this period 
from Ezra's decree. The renewing of the sacrifice 
under Ezra (7 : 12-23) was 457 years before Christ, 
making sixty-nine' weeks of years to our Lord's 
commencement of his ministry, at thirty years of 
age. The desolation, or the remaining part of the 
2300 years after the ceasing of the sacrifice, would 
bring us to 1843, the beginning of the sacrifice re-
stored." Guide, p. 222. 
Mr. Bickersteth made "a second commencement 
of this period from Nehemiah's decree," for his view 
of which see under the date of 1867-8. 
In a later edition of his "Practical Guide," Lon- 
don, 1844,—the Preface being dated "Sep. 24,"—
Mr. Bickersteth attempts to show the completion 
of the Mohammedan Woe, or 6th Trumpet of Rev. 
9., and the fulfillment of the 2300 days,by the events 
in Turkey, as brought to view by "the Papers enti-
tled 'Correspondence relating to executions in Tur-
key for Apostacy from Islamism,' presented to Par-
liament, May 3, 1844 ;" which "Correspondence 
occupied a considerable part of a year, from Aug. 
24, 1843, to April 19,1844." Says Mr. Bickersteth ; 
the House will see that anything like interfer-
ence with the war now going on would only ag-
gravate still more the sufferings of those now un-
der privation. (Hear.) 
With respect to mediation and good offices 
there is no doubt whatever that both her Majes-
ty's government and the government of the Em-
peror of the French would be delighted to avail 
themselves of any opportunity that appeared to 
offer a fair prospect that such a step would be 
attended with success. But in the present state 
of the contest, while the two parties seem anima-
ted with the most vehement anger and resent-
ment against each other, I am afraid that any 
proposal of that kind would not be well timed, 
and would be sure to meet with objection on both 
sides. If, however, at any time a different state 
of things should arise and a fair opening appear 
for any step which might be likely to meet with 
the acquiescence of the two parties, it would be 
not only our duty to offer our services,but would 
afford us the greatest possible pleasure to do so. 
(Hear, hear.) 
FRANCE. 
The accounts of the the corn crops in France 
are more favorable, but a general feeling prevail-
ed that the harvest will not be as productive as 
was expected a short time ago. It was not ex-
pected, however, to fall short of any ordinary 
year. 
Gen. Lorencez, in his dispatches, confirms the 
reported repulse of the French troops at Guad-
oloupe, Mexico. There were fifteen officers kill. 
ed and twenty wounded, one hundred and sixty-
two rank and file killed, and two hundred and 
eighty five wounded. Information received gives 
the loss of the enemy at one thousand men. The 
general discussion of the Mexican expedition 
elicits nothing new. 
THE CONFLAGRATION IN RUSSIA. 
The conflagrations in Russia are spreading 
from St. Petersburg to the provinces. At Ti-
flis, on the 16th of May, ten houses were burnt 
to the ground. At Mohilew, on the 19th of 
June, twenty houses ; at Czernichow, on the 11th 
of June, forty-four houses, one hundred and 
thirty-three shops, and a church. Conflagrations 
have also taken place at Novgorod and at Cron-
stadt. 
Terror prevails at the seat of government, 
The force intrusted with the care or the public 
safety has been increased. The houses are closed, 
and no stranger is admitted. The losses at Pe-
tersburg are estimated at many hundred millions 
of roubles. In addition to the numerous arrests 
that have been made, the sudden disappearance 
of Colonel Rostoffsoff, aid de-camp of the Em-
peror, has given rise to much comment. He is 
accused of being connected with the secret socie-
ties, and in correspondence with them. What 
adds to the excitement caused by this incident is, 
that the colonel,now denounced as a revolutionist, 
is the son of the general who put a stop, by his 
revelations, to the insurrection of 1825, and was 
ever afterwards the devoted, confidential adviser 
of Nicholas. 
COTTON STATSITICS. 
In five months, ending May 31, the total re-
ceipts from the United States were only 30,396 
bales, against 4,946,622 bales in the correspond-
ing period of 1860. Our aggregate importations 
from all countries were 1,267,881 bales, which 
is equal only to 23 per cent of the total receipts 
in the first five months of last year. India has 
contributed 734,.034 bales, Egypt 308,722, and 
Brazil 75,133 ; and these quantities are about 
double those that were furnished from the same 
countries in the like period last year. Our mis-
cellaneous receipts, from varous places not speci-
fically distinguished, have been 119,596 bales 
against 27,906 in 1861. 
Particular Notice. 
Our readers have perceived that their papers now 
come to them by a printed, instead of a written di-
rection as before. It is not improbable that many 
names have been misspelled, in being transferred to 
blocks, or something omitted. We will therefore be 
obliged to any,who notice any inaccuracy,f or prompt 
information that we may correct the same. We 
would like always, where there is room to put it on 
the block, to give the first name in full, and also to 
have " Mrs." or " Miss," as the case may be, pre- 
"The difficulties in the way were thus stated by 
the Grand Vi2ier, Aug. 24, 1843, 'The laws of the 
Koran compel no man to become a Mussulman, but 
they are inexorable both as respects a Mussulman 
who embraces another religion, and as respects a 
person, not a Mussulman, who, after having of his 
own accord publicly embraced Islamism, is convict-
ed of having renounced that faith. No considera-
tion can produce a commutation of the capital pun-
ishment to which the law condemns him without 
mercy. The only mode of escaping death is for the 
accused to declare that he has again become a Mus-
sulman.' The same difficulties were pressed Dec. 
1, 1843, when our Ambassador was assured that 
although the Porte wished to avoid any recurrence 
of the atrocity, yet as such executions were obligato-
ry under the Law considered by Mahomedans di- 
vine, it would be embarrassing to give an official 
declaration. And again, Feb. 10, 1844, the Otto- 
man Minister for Foreign Affairs drew a strong line 
of distinction between custom and divine law, inti- 
mating that a law prescribed by God himself was 
not to be set aside by any human power, and that 
the Sultan in attempting it might be exposed to a 
heavy, perhaps a dangerous responsibility. 
"The causes of this intervention of the European 
Powers are remarkable. In August, 1843, an Ar-
menian youth, who after, under fear of punish-
ment, becoming a Turk, had returned to his Chris-
tian faith, was put to death. This called for the in-
terposition of our Government and its serious remon-
strances, and produced in Nov. 1843, some promis-
es of terminating such affairs without capital pun-
ishment. In December, a young Greek, who had 
become a Mussulman, returning to his own creed as 
a Greek Christian, at Biligik adjoining to Brussa, 
was executed. This taking place in the midst of 
the correspondence, called forth Lord Aberdeen's 
decisive letter of Jan. 16. Thus we are indebted 
to the faithfulness of Greek and Armenian martyrs 
for this remarkable change. 
"The energy put forth to accomplish this change, 
required the concurrent exertions Of the five Euro-
pean Powers, Austria, Prussia, France, Russia, and 
England." 
Mr. Bickersteth then proceeds to give the corres-
pondence that passed in relation to this question, 
from which we extract as follows : The Earl Of 
Aberdeen, the head of the Foreign Department in 
the British Ministry, instructed Sir Stratford Can-
ning, the Representative of the British Court at 
Constantinople, under date of Jan. 16, 1844, to 
"demand that all persons, subjects of the Porte and 
professing Christianity, shall be exempt from cruel 
and arbitrary persecution on account of their relig-
ion ;" to inform the Sultan that the Christian 
Powers "will not endure that the Porte should in-
sult and trample on their faith by treating as a 
criminal any person who embraces it ;" to "require 
the Porte to abandon once for all, so revolting a 
principle," and to "renounce absolutely, and with-
out equivocation, the barbarous practice." 
The Russian Minister was instructed by his gov-
ernment to demand the same discontinuance of cap-
ital punishment for the abandonment of Mohamme-
danism. At length, says Mr. Bickersteth : 
"Oa the 21st of March, 1844, the question of re-
ligious execution was, as our ambassador observes, 
'happily, and to all appearance, conclusively set-
tled. The concession has been obtained with great 
difficulty, and even to the last moment it required 
the firmness of resolution inspired by your Lord-
ship's instructions to overcome the obstacles which 
were raised against us.'-" 
In confirmation of the above Sir Stratford Can-
ning communicated to the Earl of Aberdeen the 
"Official Declaration of the sublime Porte, Relin-
quishing the Practice of Executions for Apostacy"--
the closing paragraph of which was in these words : 
"The Sublime Porte engages to take effectual 
measures to prevent henceforward the execution and 
putting to death of the Christian who is an apos-
tate—March 21, 1844." 
On the day following, the Sultan in an audience 
giver‘to Sir Stratford Canning, (March 22, 1844,) 
said to him : 
"Henceforward neither shall Christians be in-
sulted in my dominions, nor shall Christians be in 
any way persecuted for their religion." 
And Lord Aberdeen,on the 19th of April, in com-
municating the Queen's approbation, wrote to Sir 
Stratford Canning, "you have brought to a 'success-
ful close a question of which the importance cannot 
be too highly rated." 
Mr. Bickersteth adds : 
"The date of the official declaration, March 21, is 
very remarkable as being in fact the first day of Ni-
san, the first sacred month of the Jews. And this 
is the more remarkable, as it is connected with the 
termination of the remarkable date of 2300 years, 
which closed in 1843." See Practical Guide, Ed. of 
1844, pp. 387-392. 
Mr. Bickersteth is correct in respect to the Jew-

MATTHEW HABERSHON,ESq ,author of "An Ilistor-
ical Dissertation on the Prophetic Scriptures," Lon-
don, 1842, remarks of B, C. 457. 
"It is the point of time that marks the commence-
ment of the 70 weeks, relating to the first coming 
and death of Christ ; and as such, and happening 
under the reign of one of the Persian monarchs,and 
about the time when his arms were particularly vic- 
torious—or,to use the symbol of the prophecy,when 
the ram was in the height of his power, and mani-
festing an angry and successful defiance to the pow- 
er of the goat,it seems to form the proper commence-
ment of the vision. And in this conclusion I am 
happy in agreeing with Mr. Cunninghame"—the 
extract from whom has already been given. Disser-
tations, p. 306. 
Mr. Habershon farther observes ; 
"The period of the termination of their power is. 
styled 'the time of the end' (v. 17) ;" By which 
"we are to understand that portion of time which is 
cut off from the Great Calander of prophecy ; that 
is, from the 2520 years of the seventh chapter ; or 
that portion of time between the first termination 
of this period in 1844, and the second in 1919. This 
latter date has been shown to be what is styled the end 
of the days, when Christ will take possession of 'the 
throne of his father David ;' and I consider the rea-
son why the termination of the 2300 years of this 
vision is called the time of the end, is, 'because at 
that time Mohammedanism, as a power, quietly 
ends." Ib. p. 312. 
The manner in which Mr. Habershon arrives at 
the later date, is by a two fold commencement of 
the 1260 days. He dates them first from 533, as 
the commencement, and then from 584 as the full 
development of the papacy ; and so ending respec- 
tively in 1794 and 1844. And from the latter epoch, 
viz. A. D. 584,he dates the 1290, expiring in A. D. 
1874, and the 1335 years, ending A. D. 1919. 
A. D. 1847. 
In the chronology of Archbishop Usher, the reign 
of Xerxes is estimated at only twelve years, instead 
of twenty-one, its actual duration, as now conclu-
sively substantiated by Ptolemy's Canon ; and the 
nine years, to which extent the reign of Xerxes was 
shortened, were added to the forty-one of his succes-
sor, Artaxerxes Longimanus, whose reign was esti-
mated by Usher at fifty years. This did not effect 
the length of the whole period between the 1st of 
Cyrus and our A. D., which Usher estimates the 
same as all standard chronologers, at 636 cuirrent,or 
535 complete years ; but it did affect the date of the 
years of the reign of Artaxerxes, whose 7th year, 
when the decree was given to Ezra, instead of being 
B. C. 457-8, was thereby carried back nine years 
to B. C. 466.7 ; so that the seventy weeks, or 490 
if reckoned from that epoch, would terminate in A. 
D. 21.5. The decree given to Ezra, therefore, in 
Archbishop Usher's scheme, could not be used as 
the commencement of the seventy weeks ; so that 
Usher was necessitated to adopt the 20th year of 
Artaxerxes, when Nehemiah went up to Jerusalem, 
which in his reckoning synchronized with B. C. 
453-4 ; and from which the 490 years would not 
terminate till A. D. 36-7—leaving A. D. 33, Ush-
er's date for the crucifixion, in the middle of the last 
week. And reckoning the 2300 years from the 
same epoch, they would extend to A. D. 1846-7. 
This error in Usher's chronology has, since be 
wrote, been conclusively demonstrated by Hales, 
Prideaux, Hengstenberg, Jarvis, and all the stand-
ard writers, who acquiese in the conclusiveness of 
the periods of Ptolemy's Canon,—sustained as it is 
by the agreement of oft calculated eclipses and other 
demonstrative chronological evidence. But as Ush-
er's chronology was adopted by act of Parliament, 
and is indicated in the margin of most English Bi-
bles, those who are not chronologists have been very 
liable to follow him in his date of the seventy weeks ; 
and this also has led several writers who follow to 
terminate the 2300 days in A. D. 1847.

able length, but of a narrow breadth—VITRINGA. 
And the word "peeled," literally describes a people 
made smooth by shaving the hair from their faces, 
—a custom which, according to Herodotus, was pe-
culiar to the Egyptians, and abhorred by all other 
nations. 
"A people terrible from their beginning hitherto." 
The cultivated portion of Egypt is from twelve to 
twenty-five miles in breadth, and extends on both 
sides of the Nile about six hundred miles in length. 
It was settled by Mizraim, the second son of Ham, 
and was early the seat of a respectable empire and 
was the mother of the sciences and arts. The inven-
tion of alphabetical letters and writing is generally 
attributed to Egypt, and the first discoveries in as-
tronomy were made there. It was a haughty and 
idolatrous kingdom, was respected and feared by its 
neighbors, and its alliance was often sought for. 
Egypt had been a terror to Israel, from the first 
existence of the Hebrew nation to that time: They 
had not only been in cruel bondage to the Egyptians, 
but were several times invaded by them with power-
ful armies. 
"A nation meted. out." This is generally refer-
red to the necessity of meting out, or measuring the 
land, to determine the boundaries of fields, after 
each inundation of the Nile. To this necessity, Stra-
bo ascribes the origin of the science of Geometry. 
It is however, the nation, and not the land which is 
meted out, and therefore a metaphor illustrative of 
the subjection of the people by "So" the Ethiopian. 
The same idea is conveyed in the next phrase. 
"And trodden down." Herodotus and Diodorus, 
say that when the Nile had retired within its banks, 
they sowed their seed on the muddy deposit and, 
then sent in their cattle to tread in the seed ; and, 
without any farther care, expected the harvest. This 
using it as a metaphor illustrates the condition of 
the people. 
"Whose land the rivers have spoiled." Instead of 
"spoiled" Dr. Clark, Bishop Lowth, Dr. Scott, and 
others, render the Hebrew word "nourished"—it 
being applicable to either meaning ; and they explain 
it by its being enriched by the vast quantities of de-
posit brought down by the river from its tributaries. 
Such is the country to whom the ambassadors were 
to be sent from Ethiopia, for the purpose before 
named.

Earthquake at Callao. 
A correspondent of the Boston Journal, writes 
from Callao, under date of "twenty-three minutes 
past one," May 28, 1862, the following graphic ac-
count of an earthquake which had that, moment 
transpired : 
An awful earthquake has this moment passed by. 
It is the first severe earthquake 1 have_ ever felt. I 
have felt two before that were not marked—one at 
Adapulco, in 1853, the other in this place. At first, 
while writing here at my table,I felt a slight tremor, 
like the shaking of the building by a heavy cart 
passing over the street pavements. I stopped to lis-
ten a moment, suspecting an earthquake, but drop- 
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, 
See ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains ; 
And when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.—v. 3. 
The nations less interested, are also called upon 
to see the signal defeat of the Assyrians. They were 
to consider,and witness the result when Sennacherib 
should have make all his preparation for his 
templated attack on Jerusalem. 
For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, 
And I will consider in my dwelling-place like a clear heat 
upon herbs, 
And like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 
For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, 
And the sour grape is ripening in the flower, 
He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks 
And take away and cut down the branches. 
And they shall be left together unto the fowls of the 
mountains, 
And to the beasts of the earth : 
And the fowls shall summer upon them, 
And all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. 
—vs. 4-0. 
These texts teach that in his advances against Je-
rusalem, Sennacherib would at first meet with no 
hindrances ; everything would betoken an easy vic-
tory. But before he should accomplish his purposes, 
God would effectually frustrate him. 
The prophet records the purpose which God had 
communicated to him. By a comparison to the se-
rene shining of the sun upon the herb,and the shad-
ow of a cloud of dew mitigating the heat of the har-
vest, so would God at first look on them ; but before 
the herb thus protected should be harvested, he 
would cut off the shoots and branches. This substi-
tution of a vineyard for Sennacherib's army, illus-
trates the analogous acts of God's providence, in 
permitting the Assyrian to approach to Jerusalem, 
to have every prospect of an easy victory, and then 
in sending an angel to slay in one night 185,000 of 
his soldiers,whose carcasses were left for thilirds to 
feast on. Thus when the kings of the min shall 
set themselves against the Lord, Pea. 2: 4. 5,) "He 
that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the Lord 
shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak 
unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore 
displeasure." 
In'that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of 
hosts 
Of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terri-
ble from their beginning hitherto ; 
A nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land 
the rivers have spoiled, 
To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount 
Zion.—v. 7. 
"At that time," is when the Assyrian should be 
defeated and forced to return to his own land. 
When he should be overthrown, the nation before 
described would recognize the act by sending gifts 
to _Jerusalem ; and we read after this result, (2

REV. EDWARD IRVING, author.of "Babylon and 
Infidelity Foredoomed," Glasgow, 1826, according 
to a writer, who presented Irving's view, in the Ver-
mont Chronicle, adopted the Septuagint reading and 
ended the period at this date. According to this 
writer Mr. Irving says : 
" 'Daniel's 2300 days,' (2400, according to Mr.

"The Land Shadowing with Wings." 
BRO. BLISS would like your view of the 18th 
Chap. of Isaiah. Does the land described answer to 
North and South America? "Beyond the rivers of 
Ethiopia :" is that morally or literally ?Does the 
second verse mean-the proclaiming of the gospel to 
the Jews? Does the third verse refer to a civil war, 
which like a pall falls on all the nations of the 
earth ? What may we learn of that harvest men-
tioned in the fifth verse? the ripening of sour grapes, 
the pruning, &c. ? Is the sixth verse a great slaugh-
ter of human life? The 7th verse presents the pres-
sent of a people to the Lord of hosts, to the praise 
of the name of the Lord of hosts, the Mount Zion. 
Who are this people, and what of the Mount Zion ? 
Will time continue after this present to the coming 
of the Lord ?

ANS. The following is our exposition of the 18th 
chapter of Isaiah,and answers, we believe,all the en-
quiries in the foregoing : 
Woe to the land shadowing with wings, 
Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia : 
That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, 
Even in vessels of bulrushes, upon the waters, saying, 
Go ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, 
To a people terrible from their beginning hitherto ; 
A nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the 
rivers have spoiled.—vs. 1, 2. 
Translators almost universally render this, "Ho I 
land," &c. It is an apostrophe to the land address-
ed, to elicit its attention ;—land, by a metonomy, 
being put for its inhabitants. God had something 
for them to do in connection with Sennacherib's 
army ; and this address to the land illustrated God's 
purpose to command their attention, and a perform-
ance of the work which he had designed for them—
viz., to cause Sennacherib to hear a "rumor" of 
Tirhakah's approach, which should cause him to 
abandon Egypt and advance towards Jerusalem, till 
the angel should smite his army. 
"Shadowing withwings,"—/iethe rustling noise, 
or clangor of wings,—is a very obscure expression. 
Mr Lord understands wings as a metaphor for bor-
ders, without making it apparent why it should be 
thus understood. The Editor of Calmet's Eng. Dic. 
supposes that it refers to the winged CNEPIIIM which 
are sculptured over the temple gates in Upper Egypt, 
and emblematic of the god CNEPII to which the tem- 
ples are dedicated. That god was represented with 
wings, and an egg coming out of his mouth, to sig- 
nify the creation of the world by its spoken word. 
Its wings indicated that it shadowed or protected the 
land. With this view the land of Upper Egypt 
is addressed, which trusted in the god thus symbo-
lized. 
"Which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,"—lit-
erally, "which borders on the rivers of Cush." Cush 
was the eldest son of Ham, and his descendants peo-
pled all the region of the upper waters of the Nile 
above Egypt—including the modern Nubia, Dongo-
la, Sennaer and Abyssinia. They also settled the 
south of Arabia,east of the Red Sea, but the former 
region is undoubtedly the one to which reference is 
made. 
"That sendeth ambassadors by the sea." The He-
brew word for "sea" (yam) is used for any large 
collection of water, or large river. In Isa. 21: 1, it 
is applied to the Euphrates : here it probably means 
the Nile, which was the great channel of communi-
cation with Egypt for the countries of Cush. "Am-
bassadors," were those through whom the govern-
ment communicated. 
' "In vessels of bulrushes." The word "bulrushe" 
is applied in the Scriptures to the Egyptian papyrus, 
a plant which grew only in moist places near the 
Nile, twelve or fifteen feet in height, and a foot in 
circumference. These were woven into boats, or 
light vessels,and smeared with pitch or bitumen,and 
were used by the inhabitants to traverse the waters 
of the Nile. It made a vessel more serviceable than 
the birch canoe of the American Indian. The ark in 
which Moses was placed, (Ex. 2: 8,) was thus con-
structed. 
"Go ye swift messengers"—Heb., light messen-
gers. This is an apostrophe to the "messengers"—
the "ambassadors" sent in the "vessel of bulrushes." 
They were to go down to Egypt to frighten away 
Sennacherib by the rumor of Tirhakah's approach. 
"To a nation scattered and peeled." The word 
rendered "scattered," conveys the idea of a people 
driven out or extended over a country of consider- 
irb 
Chron. 32 : 22, 23,) "Thus the Lord saved Heze-
kiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the 
hands of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and from the 
hand of all other, and guided them on every side. 
And many f roughtgifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, 
and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah : so that he 
was magnified in the sight of all nations from thence-
forth." 
The Hartford Courant of Saturday last gives in 
its lists of deaths : "In this city, July 14th, Joseph 
Turner, in the 55th year of his age."

partiuclars. 
The War. 
THE SIEGE of VICKSBURG. A correspondent of the 
Cincinnati Commercial, writing July 4, says that 
when Com. Farragut's fleet approached opposite 
Vicksburg, the citizens waited upon the rebel com-
mander and requested him to surrender the city, in 
order to save it from destruction, but he refused,and 
they were compelled to remove their families into 
the country. The rebels are much alarmed at the 
prospect of their city being isolated by the canal 
which is in course of construction for diverting the 
course of the Mississippi. Our mortars are doing 
great damage to the city, but can accomplish very 
little toward the silencing of batteries, because the 
mark is too small for them to fire at. The batteries 
can be silenced by the gunboats, but a land force 
will be necessary to drive away the rebel army 
which holds the place, and the siege will last till an 
army is sent to accomplish the latter result. It is 
reported by secessionists in the vicinity that one of 
Com.Porter's mortar boatmen,who fell into the hands 
of an Arkansas regiment, was taken to the woods, 
his bowels ripped open, and his heart cut out, and 
hung to a tree ! 
Another correspondent says the rebels are erecting 
batteries at Grand Gulf and Ellis Bluffs, below 
Vicksburg, while every thicket swarms with guer-
rilla parties,and Corn. Farragut is receiving his sup-
plies from New Orleans "under difficulties." The 
St. Louis Republican's correspondent records the 
following rebel outrage : 
"Yesterday a planter from 'Papa Island,' just 
above and in sight, came to Flag Officer Davis and 
requested aid. The day before some villains living 
there; under the title of a vigilance committee,hung 
his mother, a woman eighty-three years of age, for 
expressing joy at the fleet's arrival. One hundred 
and fifty soldiers on the steamer Champion were sent 
back with the planter, and the murderers will be 
taken if possible. From the door of her home they 
dragged their aged victim, and reviled her for a 
Lincolnite. With gray hairs and one toot in the 
grave, they killed her, and joyed in anticipating na-
ture even by a few hours. The feeling here is bitter 
indeed, more so than in any portion of country 
through which the national army has passed." 
up.and increased, by a sort of scale or gamut. It . 
was an awful motion ; but perceiving it to be an 
earthquake, I collected my senses to observation,and 
sat still, bending over my paper unmoved to wait 
the result. 1 thought of everything for an instant, 
especially of the beams falling ; but this building 
never having cracked by preceding shakes,I had previ-
ously made up my mind not to leave it and run into 
the street. Those in the Consul's office rushed down 
stairs into the street, except Mr. Lay, the clerk. He 
rose from his desk and placed himself under the lin-
tel of a wide door leading into the balcony,overlook-
ing the street. I continuing to sit still,and the earth 
quake traveling like a swift horse-gallop, he began 
to upbraid me with carelessness and recklessness in 
sitting here while in so great danger. However, I 
sat still till it was over niostly,and then went to the 
window to look out. The middle of the street was 
filled with people as far as I could see, and some 
were still rushing out of the buildings. t seemed to 
me there was an instability or slightly quivering 
condition of the earth for some two or three minutes 
after the shock was over. The shock itself lasted 
nearly or quite a minute. A moment is a long time 
while the earth is trembling, with the soul in fear. 
It seemed a very long time. I was astonished at 
the duration of the earthquake, and yet it was not 
so violent as I had heard them spoken of, and not so 
long. Persons long resident here,in speaking of this 
shock say it was not very bad. It was not,ot course, 
inasmuch as no walls around me cracked. Still they 
fretted and rustled,and made a thousand little noises. 
The most violent earthquakes have done but little 
damage in Lima or Callua by the mere shaking. The 
palace that Pizaro built is still standing in good 
preservation. The cathedral and many other old 
churches have no fissures in them, though they have 
been severely shaken by many earthquakes 
Calloa was destroyed in 1846, on the 26th of Oc-
tober, by an enormous wave that rushed in from the 
Pacific some hours after the earthquake had passed. 
It has been stated that Callao sank,but I have made 
careful examinations of all the vestiges and evidences 
of the catastrophe, and I doubt if the earth opened 
and swallowed any portion of it. I once believed it 
from the statements made by writers and voyagers, 
but I have observed for myself,and 1 see no evidence 
of submergence, but all the evidence needed to show 
the destruction of the town by a mighty movement 
of the sea,that swept along millions of tons of stones 
and gravel of all minor sizes, and deposited them in 
undulating hills and waving lines of low elevations, 
which, if hardened into rock, would resemble the 
conglomerate of Roxbury and the looser deposits 
which stretch out into Newton, and so on. Only 
the deposits of Roxbury are the result of a still 
more mighty movement of the sea than that which 
ocurred here in 1746. 
I (lid not experience the electrical effect from this 
earthquake that I did from that in Acapulco. To be 
sure I nerved myself against it, for the purpose of 
calmly observing any phenomena that might accom-
pany it. There was no noise with it indicating an 
explosion of gasses. The movement and the sensa-
tion was as if an enormous building of elastic mate-
rials had been struck by some great mass more solid 
than itself, so that it rocked and trembled. 
I could feel the motion of the earth through the 
solid adobe walls which compose the edifice where I 
sit, and this communicates with other thick walls 
for 50 feet west and 500 feet east, and 200 or 300 
feet backward. This shock—with all the sensations 
communicated by it, and all the phenomena accom-
panying it—indicated the action of a violent force 
upon the under or inner surface of the crust over 
which I am sitting. It conforms, so far as I reflect 
and judge of the penomena observed,the opinions I 
have heretofore expressed, that although some earth-
quakes may result from explosion of gasses in great 
cavities in the earth's crust, the most violent result 
from the impact of the molten nucleus, or portions 
of it against the crust, or the bursting of the crust 
by the irresistible impulse of molten masses against 
it. However I do not mean to mix theory with ob- 
servation ; but I am so struce with these sensations 
that my mind runs toward the action of cause in 
producing effect, as when 1 feel the motion of blood 
in an artery at the wrist or foot, I judge of the ner-
vous or physical condition of the heart thereby. 
Nevertheless the earthquake has passed and this 
portion of the earth is still again. The sensation is 
awful. One feels so small and powerless. It is the 
only thing I have yet felt that has impressed me 
with an idea that an Infinite power, something like 
that of a God, might grasp the pillars of the planet 
and shake it to alarm and forewarn wickedness of 
its final doom. 
Now I wait for another yet more awful. I am 
confirmed in my belief of a solar force, as 
the ultimate agent, or rather that living behind 
the agitations of the central molten mass of this 
globe. I thank God for this expression of his pow, 
er and my convictions arising therefrom. 
FOREIGN INTERVENTION.—The Philadelphia North 
American quotes from a private letter, emanating 
from the best informed circles in Paris, which says 
that "the Emperor's Cabinet is opposed to interven-
tion or mediation, and the Emperor remains fixed in 
his determination not to take any step which the 
President would not regard as entirely friendly." So 
much for France. As for England, in addition to 
the last declamation of Lord Palmerston, we subjoin 
the testimony of the Saturday Review, distinguished 
for its hostility to our Government. It says that in-
tervention in any shape would be war,and it signifi-
cantly adds : 
"A war with Federal America would cost more 
than many crops of cotton are worth. It would be 
a God-send to zealous politicians, who will shortly 
have to find an excuse for their reckless encourage-
ment of the national delusion ; and the antipathy 
which it would excite and almost justify would for 
many generations prevent the establishment of a 
solid and durable peace. When a rupture seemed 
almost unavoidable, after the seizure of the Trent, 
prudent men deeply regretted the necessity of a con. 
filet which was certain to be misrepresented and 
misunderstood. A war professedly waged for the es- 
tablishment of Southern independence would be still 
more invidious, and it would not involve unanimity 
at home. It is impossible that England should wish 
to establish or maintain negro slavery, and it by no 
means follows that an alliance with a slaveholding 
community would imply any favor to the institution 
which might be incidentally assisted ; but the negro-
hating North would utter the fiercest denunciations of 
the Abolitionists against a power which connected 
itself with the insurgent slave-owners. Against much 
loss and obloquy it is not easy to set off any counter-
balancing advantage which would make an Ameri-
can war ex pedient. 
"Least of all would it be profitable to follow France 
into a struggle which would necessarily be controll- 
ed by alien counsels and motives. Joint action in 
war is not recommended by the experience of recent 
years in the Crimea, in China, or in Mexico." 
ped my suspicion, supposing it to be a cart-shake, 
and commenced to write again, when the slight 
tremulousness increased into successively harder and 
more distinct but rapid waves and trembling, the 
undulations proceeding apparently from the east, 
and passing toward the west. The shaking culmin-
ated, and then gradually subsided,just as it sprung

nologers place his baptism. His crucifixion is then 
placed A. D. 33-4. Here we have seven years from 
his baptism to his death, and the last week of the 
70 is used up, and we have no use for the week of 
verse 27 back there. 
The week of verse 27 is divided, by causing the 
sacrifice and offering to cease in its midst, or near its 
middle, and making it, the place of offering, deso-
late by the overspreading of abominations, to the 
consummation. Or if we adopt the Septuagint 
reading, "upon the table there shall be an abomina-
tion of the desolations," it will make it more plain 
and conform it to the language of Christ. Matth. 
24.15. 
The difficulty of applying this to Christ's life is, 
that in the midst of that last week of his life lie did 
not cause any sacrifice or oblation to cease. Much 
less did he place any abomination in the temple or 
upon it. But, according to the language of the text, 
both these were to be done in the midst of the week. 
I am sorry to be compelled to differ from so many 
great, learned, and good men as think differently, but 
I cannot help myself. I must conform my faith to 
the word and accompanying facts, whoever may 
think differently. 
If the week of verse 27 cannot be refered to the 
last of the seventy weeks, the week of Christ's per-
sonal ministry, we must seek another solution for 
it, which will be more harmonious with the text 
and facts. Is there such a solution ? 
1. Daniel's prayer and confession in chapter 9 
related entirely to the Jews and Jerusalem. 2. The 
instructions of Gabriel related to the same subject. 
"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and 
thy holy city,to finish the transgression," &c. "The 
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy 
the city and the sanctuary, " &c. The Jews and 
Jerusalem and the temple being the subject of the 
9th chapter, to verse 27, why are we not bound to 
understand it of the same people and place, after 
the times of the Gentiles end ? 
If so, then in futurity there is one week not of 
the seventy, but a week by itself,independent of the 
past, but of the same nature or length of one of the 
70 weeks, to be fulfilled in Jewish history. 
I prefer the Septuagint reading to our own, and 
therefore give it from Thompson's translation. "Now 
one week shall confirm a covenant for many. And in 
the half of that week my sacrifice and libation shall 
be taken away ; and upon the temple shall be an 
abomination of the desolations." 
On this verse, Prof. Whiting says (Adv. Shield, 
p. 180) : Literally, " He shall make a covenant for 
many." He quotes from the Vulgate: "And the 
abomination of dessolation shall be on the temple." 
Septuagint : "And on the temple the abomination of 
desolations." He remarks : " Either of these trans-
lations correspond better with the original than our 
common version ; and the words of the Saviour, 
Matth. 24 : 15, When ye therefore shall see the 
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the 
prophet, stand in the holy place,—these words (evi-
dently quoted from the Hebrew) would seem to be 
decisive on the subject." If this is a sound criti-
cism, (and who doubts it ?) our truth is plain. 
There is to he a covenant made with or for many 
Jews for one week, or seven years, probably by an 
Antichrist who will come and be officially received. 
Under him they will gather at Jerusalem, and build 
a temple, or consecrate the mosque of Omar, now 
there, to that purpose, and restore their sacrifice 
and oblation. In the midst of the week he shall 
cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, or take it 
away, and set up in or on the temple an idol, the 
abomination of desolations ; probably the living 
talking image of Rev. 13, who will speak, and cause 
all to fall down and worship him on pain of death. 
literal days : 2550 literal days, or seven years. 
Seven solar years would exceed this by 6 days 18 
hours. If these two periods do constitute the one 
week of Dan. 9: 27, then they are consecutive not 
contemporaneous periods, and the whole argument 
for 1868 falls to the ground. For "from the time 
that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, (in the 
midst of the week) and the abomination which mak-
eth desolate set up, there shall be 1290 days" of 
the week remaining. 
If this is the true solution, how plain it will yet 
be to the "wise." When Rome falls the times of 
the Gentiles end. Then if a man comes up pro-
claiming himself the Messiah, and making a cove-
nant with the Jews, there date the one week, and 
divide it by 1260 and 1290 days, and the Antichrist 
will lose his power over the saints, and the image 
be destroyed at the end of that period ; for "At the 
end of a time, an end shall be put to that desola-
tion." Thompson's Translation Dan. 9: 27. 
J. LITCH. 
during the millenium ?" Certainly. See lea. 65: 23. 
"They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for 
trouble : for they are the seed of the blessed of the 
Lord, and their offsprings with them." Also Isa, 
11: 8. "And the sucking child shall play on the 
hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his 
hand on the cockatrice's den." Nothing is plainer. 
At the end of the thousand years Satan will be 
loosed. Rev. 20: 7. For what purpose ? To deceive 
those whom he has already deceived? Not at all. I 
believe the persons to be deceived are those born 
during the millennium, who have had no tempta-
tions until this period. During the period of the 
millennium, death not having any power, and Satan 
having succeeded at its close to deceive many, it is 
stated that the "child shall die a hundred years old; 
but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be 
accursed." 
Satan will at the close of the millenium gather 
together vast multitudes whom he shall deceive, and, 
after falsely representing God and religion, induce 
the masses to go up against the camp of the saints 
and the beloved city ; but their triumph is short, as 
fire comes down from heaven and consumes them : 
and the Devil, who has deceived them, is cast into 
the lake of fire. Rev. 20 : 8 —10. Immediately 
after the casting of the Devil into the lake of fire 
takes place the second resurrection, in which all the 
wicked rise (those included who were destroyed 
around the camp of the saints). 
The general judgment sits, and the righteous stand 
on the right hand of the judge, and the wicked on 
left. To the righteous God says, "Come, ye blessed," 
&c., and to the wicked, "Depart from me, ye cursed." 
See Matt. 25. But who are those on the right hand ? 
I believe them to be the children born to the wick-
ed between Christ's comirg and the destruction of 
the earth by fire. The judgment terminatts with 
these last great acts ; Christ, having reigned for a 
thousand years, and subjugated all His enemies, de-
livers up the kingdom to the Father, "that God may 
be all in all." 1 Cor. 15: 24-28. 
Mr. Editor, perhaps yourself and others differ 
from me in many of the views in these pages ; if so, 
please explain in the "Herald" the following ques-
tions: 1st. Why does God make distinction among 
the saints ? Some dwell within, and others without 
the city. 2nd. After Christ's second coming how 
are the weapons spoken of in Ezek. 39: 9, 10 to be 
preserved ? 3d. What is meant by the " restitution 
of all things," spoken of in Acts 3 : 21 ? 
Your Bro. in Christ, 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
In this department, articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of the Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to be considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
sonalities, and to study Christian courtesy in all references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should ha 
regarded as disentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless, unkind, or uncourteous controversy. 
Are the Periods in Daniel 12th chapter Con-
temporaneous? 
In my previous article the question was consider-
ed, "Are the periods symbolical, each day the rep-
resentative of a year ?" By the advocates of 1868 
it is assumed that they are. My argument was to 
show the insufficiency of the assumption to sustain 
such a position as is predicted upon it. If asked 
why I am opposed to the preaching of the 1868 doc-
trine ? I reply, simply because I do not believe the 
argument sufficiently strong and conclusive to war-
rant faith in it. I believe it to bean error ; and all 
error is, in the final issue, injurious. It is through 
the truth alone we are to be sanctified. 1 love the 
appearing of myLord as ardently as those who believe 
he will come in 1868. But my Lord and Master does 
not require me to believe anything without good and 
sufficient evidence. He does not ask me to believe 
on the strength of assumptions. 
"But can you give us anything better on time 
than the advocates of 1868 have done ?" If I can-
not, that is no reason why we should believe that 
without good evidence. It is better to suspend judg-
ment for a little, until we have more light, than to 
receive an insufficient and incoaclusive argument 
as the basis of our faith. Our business is to "prove 
all things," and to hold fast that which is good." I 
do not profess to fix upon any definite period for the 
Lord's coming. That we are in the closing period 
of earth's history, and in the midst of the signs of the 
last times, is a matter perfectly plain. That the 
Lord will in his own good time make the prophetic 
periods plain, also, I have no doubt ; and until he 
does so, we must wait and watch. Although I can-
not now fix dates, I can see how the Lord can give 
us dates which will be unmistakable and conclusive, 
so as to fulfil his word : "But the wise shall under-
stand." Does this relate to the time? I reply, 
clearly it does. The question was asked, "How long 
the end of these wonders ?" The answer was given, 
"A time, times and a half. And when he shall have 
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy peo-
ple all things shall be finished." The prophet then 
said, "I heard, but I understood not." Evidently 
the time was the theme he did not understand. 
"Then said I, 0 my Lord, what the end of these ? 
And he said go thy way, Daniel, for the words are 
closed up and sealed, even to the time of the end, 
many shall be purified, made white and tried, and 
none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise 
shall understand." Is not the whole subject in refer-
ence to time? But the angel continued : "And from 
the time that the daily shall be taken away and the 
abomination which maketh desolate shall be set up, 
there shall be 1290 days." This, then, is to be the 
key to the time, when the period arrives for the seal 
to be broken. And so our Saviour said, Matth. 24 : 
15. "When, therefore, ye shall see the abomination 
of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand 
in the holy place, whoso readeth let him under-
stand." if both the angel and Christ have selected 
this as the key to Daniel's times, we should fix our 
attention there and Watch its development. I will 
now show the reader how easy it will be for the 
Lord to make this time plain. I do not assert that 
this will be the Lord's way of doing it ; but show 
that it can be done thus, with great ease. To do 
this I will collate Dan. 9: 26, 27, with chap. 22: 7, 
11 ; and Matth. 24: 15. "And after:62 weeks shall 
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself." This 
brings us to the crucifixion of Christ. He proceeds, 
"And the people of the prince that shall come, shall 
destroy the city and the sanctuAry." This evident-
ly brings us to the destruction of the city, Jerusalem, 
and the temple, A. D. 70. Then the angel describes 
the continuous desolation to the end of the war, or 
as Christ expressed it, Luke 21: 24, "Till the times 
of the gentiles are fulfilled." And, having thus 
been brought down to the end of Gentile times in 
verse 26, it becomes an important question whether 
verse 27 carries us forward or backward. The 
general belief is that it carries us backward to the 
days of Christ, the end of the 69 weeks, and gives 
the history of seven years from Christ's baptism. 
But there are great difficulties in the way of this 
history. 
But how is this week to be divided, so as to know 
where the midst is? For although the word may 
signify the exact middle, it does not necessarily nor 
usually mean that : but some where approximating 
the middle. Does not the 12th chapter fix this 
point ? 
Let the reader keep in mind that the angel has 
undertaken to make Daniel understand what shall 
befall his "people in the latter days," and that the 
question is, not how long it shall be from the begin-
ning of the vision in the third year of Cyrus to the 
end of these wonders : but "how long the end of 
these wonders ?" The answer, "A time, times and 
a half," gives one part of it. This is the Jewish 
gathering under their covenant with Antichrist,and 
the concentration of their power. The second part 
is, "And when he shall have accomplished to scatter 
the power of the holy people, all these things shall 
be finished." This week is divided, then, by "A 
time, times and a half, or 1260 literal days and 1990 
Views on Unfulfilled Prophecy. 
At this important stage in the world's history 
what is of so much importance to us as the fulfill-
ment of prophecy ? What shall become of our globe 
in, general and of the land of Palestine in particular? 
I have often thought that light on these questions 
was much needed. The Bible settles, in my opinion, 
all these questions. Little doubt but that we are 
living under the "last sign," the shaking of the 
powers of heaven, which must mean the nations of 
the earth, as God is the power above, and cannot be 
shaken. And further, these "powers" must continue 
to shake until the battle of Armageddon, which is 
to take place, according to Ezekiel 39, in the valley 
of Hamon-gog. Zechariah describes the battle and 
the results of it in the following language, c. 14 : 2, 3. 
"For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to 
battle, and the city shall be taken," etc. ; " and half 
of the city shall go forth into captivity and the re-
sidue of: the people shall not be cut off from the city. 
Then shall theLord go forth andfight against those na-
tions,as when he fought in the day of battle." At this 
time the Lord will make his appearance ; the.trump 
of God shall be sounded, and his angels shall be sent 
to awaken the "dead in Christ." Thess. 4 : 15, 16. 
The binding of Satan will now take place, as seen 
in Rev. 20. The results will be the resurrection of 
the righteous, their being caught up to meet the Lord 
in the air, and continuing ever with Him. At the de-
scent of the Lord the saints will come withHim. Zech. 
14: 5. The Lord will then stand upon Mount Olivet, 
the mountain will cleave asunder and leave a great 
valley. Multitudes wiil flee to the valley of the 
mountains. Who are they, unless they be the saints 
who come with the Lord ? I think these saints will 
remain in the valley until' the new Jerusalem comes 
down from God out of heaven. Rev. 21. The com-
mand of the Lord to his angels is : "Hurt nothing 
until 144,000 be sealed." Now takes place the seal-
ing of the number already specified. The great bat-
tle of Armageddon then goes on to a close. The 
Lord fights for his people, and their enemies perish 
fearfully; their flesh shall consume away on their 
bodies, their eyes in their holes, and their tongues in 
their mouths. Zech. 14: 12. The restoration now 
takes place ; the land given to Abraham, Isaac, and 
Jacob is restored ;— a remnant of the Jews, and also 
of the animal creation. Palestine now becomes a 
place of safty, as Noah's ark was at the flood. See 
Joel. 2: 32. "For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem 
shall be deliverance." Ezek. 36: 35. "This land that 
was desolate shall become as the garden of Eden." 
And the new heavens are established or located in Pal-
estine. The great city now comes down, having an 
immense wall and twelve gates ; the saints leave the 
valley, pass into the city ; then God sends his angels 
to gather his elect from the four winds of heaven. 
Isa. 11 c. also 66 c. and 24 : 23. The twelve tribes 
who were sealed, Rev. 7, now encamp around the 
city, three tribes on each side: a tribe at each separ- 
ate gate. The promise of Christ now meets its ful- 
fillment, "Ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judg- 
ing tAtwelve tribes of Israel." 
WRather from this that a period, we cannot say 
how long, must intervene between the coming of the 
Saviour and the refinement of the earth by fire ; per-
haps a year, or more. Outside the city God will 
provide a sanctuary for the sealed Jews, who will 
have the privilege of going in and out of the same, 
while the apostles will act as their judges. 
During the period intervening between Christ's 
coming and the millenium what will become of the 
children born among the wicked? 
In my opinion, now takes place the cleansing of the 
globe by fire. The risen saints have now free inter-
course, inside and outside the city ; but their perma-
nent home is within the city. The restored Jews 
will multiply and spread over the new creation, build 
houses and inhabit them, plant vineyards and eat 
the fruit of them, etc. Isa. 65 : 21. 
It has often been asked, "Will children be born

the above views. Our explanation of the " Restitu-
tion of things" will be found in full in our tract with

ing will destroy all weapons of war.—ED.] 
From Bro. J. Reynolds. 
The Ten Horns in Rev. chap. 17 not the 
same as the Ten Horns in. chap. 13. 
The difference between the ten horns in these two 
chapters being known will open the way to a correct 
knowledge of those beasts on which the horns are. 
The ten horns in chap. 17 are particularly men-
tioned, and the time of their rule, independently of 
the blasphemous power given, and can be none but 
the ten horns on Daniel's fourth beast, as they are 
the next division of the Roman power, or the dis- 
memberment of that power, or the next form of 
government after John wrote. Chap. 17 : 10— 12. 
But when these horns give their power to the blas- 
phemous beast they are not the ruling power (verse 
13), but are subject to the beast or eighth king (verse 
11), which is blasphemous, as we have noticed. We 
then find that what in Daniel is represented by a 
horn is represented by a beast in John. For it is 
certain that the next dominant power after the ten 
kings, or Daniel's fourth beast, is that of the little 
horn. Dan. 7 : 20, 21, 24, 25. 
Here we have a stand-poiat from which we can 
look back and forward in the line of history, with- 
out fear of a mistake. John informs us where he 
was, at the time of this vision, in chap. 1. Be was 
on the Isle of Patmos, for the word of God ; and 
was sent there for his faith in God's word. As he 
informs us in chap. 17 that the blasphemous beast, 
carrying an adulterous woman, was not then, it is 
certain that it was after the destruction of Jerusa- 
lem, as this beast was then slain. Whatever the 
learned or unlearned may say, there is neither reason 
nor scripture to change this stand-point ; and to do 
so is to take a liberty with the revelation of God 
which is every way reprehensible. 
We then affirm that it is impossible to mistake 
the next division of the Roman kingdom after John 
had this vision, which was that of the ten kings; 
and it was the seventh horn as given by Daniel, the 
Babylonian power being the first, and agreeing with 
chap. 17 : 8. These ten horns, then, in chap. 17 
are the same as the ten horns on Daniel's fourth 
a

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

beast. The beast from the pit, being the next dom-
inant power, must be the same as the little horn in 
Daniel 7 ; for beast and horn are common symbols 
of power. 
But how can it be proved that the ten horns in 
chap. 13 are not the same? 
I answer, first, because they are crowned horns ; 
and also because they are a beast of mixed power, 
having a part of the first three of Daniel's beasts. 
This beast has also seven blasphemous heads ; and, 
as these heads represent so many kinds and forms of 
gentile power successively, and are united to an 
apostate church, they must begin where the first 
gentile power was united with the priestly - which 
was the Babylonian, and is represented by a lion. 
And, as no particular period is given for the rule Of 
these crowned kings, the only natural view is that 
they represent the ten successive periods of gentile 
dominion over the Lord's people.

OBITUARY. 
Died, in Gilmanton, N. II., Jan. 15th, 1862, Bro. 
PETER EATON, in the 62d year of his age. Bro. 
Eaton experienced religion in 1842, in the great re-
vival that followed the preaching of the near coming 
of Christ. Previous to that time he had been a free 
believer in the doctrine of universal salvation, but 
from the time of his conversion to his death he was 
a devoted follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, and 
to the last cherished the faith of his second advent 
near to come. 
Bro. E. loved the Herald, and was a subscriber 
from its commencement. Enclosed with this notice 
is the last dollar he earned, which he wished sent to 
pay what was due, and have his paper stopped, un-
less it could be sent free to his widow, who with 
seven children are left to mourn his absence here. 
May God sustain them in their affliction, and they 
all secure an entrance to the city, the new Jerusa-
lem, where they may meet the departed husband 
and father, to part no more forever.

Died, June 23d, 1862, in Francestown, N. II., of 
bronchial consumption, OBADIAH P. GORE, aged 30 
years, 5 months ; after a distressing illness of six 
months, under which he manifested much patience 
and fortitude. He was son of Thomas and Eleanor 
Gore, and was born in Underhill, Vt., but for sev-
eral years past resided in Salem, Mass.; where he 
won many friends, who deeply mourn the loss of one 
so much beloved. About ten days before his death 
he Caine to this place, accompanied by his mother, 
hoping the invigorating breezes of the granite hills 
would again restore bloom to the pallid cheek and 
vigor to the wasted limbs ; but, alas ! it was too 
late, and not all the kindness of loving friends could 
save him from Death's cold embrace. He died at 
the residence of his uncle, Hirah Gilbert, where the 
funeral was attended by a large circle of mourning 
friends. Rev. Mr. Cutter, of this town, conducted 
the services.

[Will the " Crisis " please copy ?] 
Died, in this city, July 8th, of consumption, Ear-
za, wife of Leonard R. Johnson, aged 43 years. 
Sister Johnson had been in feeble health for several 
years, but about twelve months since she became se-
riously sick, nine months of which time she was 
confined to the house. Her sufferings, even until 
her death, were intense, so that even death was de-
sirable as an end of mortal ills. But during her 
severe and protracted sufferings grace triumphed, 
and she was enabled to look Death in the face, and 
say, " Rejoice not against me, 0 mine enemy : when 
I fall I shall arise, when I sit in darkness the Lord 
shall be a light to me." Our sister professed faith 
in Christ twenty-one years ago. She became inter-
ested in the pre-millennial advent in 1857, and con-
tinued in the faith until her death. Although nat-
urally despondent, yet her confidence in God gave 
her the victory. During her sickness she frequently 
expressed a desire to recover her health, if it was 
the will of God ; yet, when her husband assured her, 
three weeks previous to her death, that she would 
soon have to leave him, notwithstanding the anguish 
of separation, she meekly resigned herself to the will 
of God, - and, giving full assurance of her life in 
Christ, she set her house in order, giving all neces-
sary directions about her house, burial, etc. And 
waiting her appointed time, she quietly und peace-
fully fell asleep in Jesus, leaving the fragrant reflec-
tion that soon the trumpet's call would gather her 
among the ransomed throng who will sing " Thanks 
be unto God, which giveth us the victory, through 
our Lord Jesus Christ." 
This hope cheers a bereaved husband, three sisters, 
two brothers, and all her Christian friends.

ADVERTISEMENTS. 
Memoirs of William Miller. 
By the author of the Time of the End-excepting 
the first three chapters, which were by the pen of 
another. pp. 426. Price, post paid, 75 cts. 
Few men have been more diVersely regarded than 
William Miller. While those who knew him, es-
teemed him as a man of more than ordinary mental 
power, as a cool, sagacious and honest reasoner, an 
humble and devoted Christian, a kind and affection-
ate friend, and a man of great moral and social 
worth ; thousands, who knew him not, formed opin-
ions of him anything but complimentary to his in-
telligence and sanity. It was therefore the design 
of this volume to show him to the world as he was 
-to present him as he appeared in his daily walk 
and conversation, to trace the manner in which he 
arrived at his conclusions, to follow him into his 
closet and places of retirement, to unfold the work-
ings of his mind through a long series of years, and 
scan closely his motives. These things are shown of 
him by large extracts from his unstudied private 
correspondence, by his published writings, by nar-
rations of interviews with him, accounts of his pub-
lic labors in the various places he visited, a full 
presentation of his views, with the manner of their 
conception, and various reminiscences of interest in 
connection with his life. 
The revivals of religion which attended his labors, 
are here testified to by those who participated in 
them ; and hundreds of souls, it is believed,will ever 
regard him as a means, under God, of their conver-
sion. The attention given to his arguments caused 
many minds, in all denominations, to change their 
views of the millennial state ; and as the christian 
public learn to discriminate between the actual po-
sition of Mr. Miller, and that which prejudice has 
conceived that he occupied, his memory will be 
much more justly estimated. The following notice 
of this volume is from the "Theological and Liter-
ary Journal." 
This volume is worthy of a perusal by all who 
ake an interest in the great purposes God has re-
vealed respecting the future government of the 
world. If the first chapters descend to a detail of 
incidents that are of little moment, and betray a 
disposition to exaggerate and over-paint, the main 
portion of the memoir, which is occupied with the 
history of his religious life, is not chargeable with 
that fault, and presents an interesting account of 
his studies, his opinions, his lectures, his disap 
pointments, and his death, and frees him from many 
of the injurious imputations with which he was as-
sailed during his last years. He was a man of vig-
orous sense, ardent, resolute, and upright ; he had 
the fullest faith in the Scriptures as the word of 
God, and gave the most decided evidence that he 
understood and felt the power of their great truths. 
Instead of the ambitiousness of a religions dema-
gogue, he was disinterested ; his great aim in his 
advent 
 His de- 
meanor, on the confutation of his calculations re-
specting the advent, was such as might be expected 
from an upright man. Instead of resorting to sub-
terfuges to disguise his defeat, he frankly confessed 
his error, and while he lost faith in himself, retain-
ed his trust undiminished in God, and endeavored 
to guard hie followers from the dangers to which 
they were exposed, of relapsing into unbelief, or 
losing their interest in the great doctrine of Christ's 
premillennial coming. 
A Volume for the Times. 
"THE TIME OF THE END." 
This volume of over 400 pages, compiled by the 
present editor of the Advent Herald and published 
in 1856,treats "the time of the end," (Dan. 12: 9,) 
as a prophetic period preceding the end ; during 
which there was predicted to be a wonderful in-
crease of knowledge respecting the prophecies and 
periods that fill up the future of this world's dura-
tion, to the final consummation. 
It presents various computations of the times of 
Daniel and John ; copies Rev E. B. Elliott's view 
of "our present position in the prophetic calen-
dar," with several lectures by Dr. Cumming, and 
gives three dissertations on the new heavens and the 
new earth, by Drs. Chalmers, Hitchcock, and Wese 
ley. To this is added "The Testimony of more than 
One Hundred Witnesses," of all ages of the church 
and of all denominations of Christians,-expressing 
faith in the personal advent of Christ, his reign on 
the renewed earth, on the resurrection of the just, 
&c. It is for sale at this office and will be sent by 
mail, post paid, for 75 cts.-to those who do not 
wish to give $1., its former retail price.

sect's life was from him. All that moves Alexander Wattles, Troy, Mich.,. 
is known to him. He open his hand, and 
fills all things living. The bird of the air, 
and the beast of the field, and the creeping 
thing ; and all the people, too, which are 
on the earth ; and the old, and the strong 
man, and the little child - all, all he sees. 
He sees by day. The darkness does not 
hide trom him. He sees what we see not. 
All the many thoughts of our heart are 
known to him, all we speak, and all we 
do. I cannot hide myself from God. 
He sees the wicked child when first he 
begins to think about sin. Before the 
hand has moved, before the lips have 
spoken, God has seen : it is written down 
in his book - and the sullen look, and the 
bad temper. 
And God sees the child who tries to 
serve him. He. knows when he kneels 
down to pray. He watches when he turns 
his heart to God. His eye is upon him 
when he is at church. When he is sick, 
God knows. When the wicked tempt him, 
God keeps him from evil. And Uod for-
gives his sins, for Jesus's sake. And, at 
last, God will take him to himself forever. 
" Blessed are the pure in heart, for they 
shall see God." 
God knows what is past. He knows 
what is now. He knows what shall be.

Little GeOrgie's Prayer. 
Little George, an interesting boy of four 
summers, had been taught by his mother APPOINTMENTS. 
to pray; and she had often told him that 
to pray to God was to talk to him, and 
NOTICES OF ELEDER J. V. RIMES. 
tell him just what we wanted. At night, 
after he had repeated the Lord's prayer, 
he was accustomed to make a short prayer 
of his own, in which his childish wants 
were expressed in his own words. Though 
Georgie was -generally a very good boy, 
and loved his parents most tenderly, yet 
it sometimes happened that he needed cor-
rection ; for, like all children, lie liked to 
have his own way. 
One day, being unwilling to yield to his 
mother's wishes, she was obliged to pun- 
ish him ; for she did not wish her little boy 
to grow up a wicked and unruly son. At 
night, when it was time for him to repeat 
his prayer, he could not forget his naughty 
actions; and, as lie had been taught, he 
talked to God about them, in the following 
manner, feeling all the while very serious, 
Y. The Adventists in the entire region, with all 
persuasions of Christians, are most cordially invited 
to attend,and take an earnest and active part in the 
objects of the meeting. 
All who have tents will bring them. And friends 
in the vicinity are invited to put up cheap lumber 
tents, or others, for themselves and strangers. Board 
and lodging will be provided on reasonable terms. 
Also pasture for horses. And everything will be 
done by the brethren and friends in the vicinity to 
make the people comfortable ; and tried and faithful 
brethren, Dr. E. M.Loomis, of Perry's Mills, N.Y., 
and Alvah Loomis,of Champlain, N. Y.,may by aid-
dressed by any who wish accommodation or any 
further information about the meeting. The exact 
location of the grounds will be given in season. 
The meeting will commence on Friday, August 15, 
at 4 P. M., and be continued every day, over two 
sabbaths, to the 24th. 
Ministers of God, brethren, sisters, and friends, 
one and all, come up to the feast. There never 
was a time when the door was opened so wide 
and effectual as now for the Adventist to speak 
and work for God and a doomed world. Many, 
too, among us have left their first love, and have 
need of help. Many in our families are out of the 
Ark of safety,and shall we not do something to res-
cue them before the storm of vengeance falls ? Can we 
endure to see the destruction of our kindred ? The 
community, too, are looking to us for light on the 
coming kingdom. Shall we not give it? Can we 
withhold and be innocent in the day of the Lord ? 
We have light on the time, and the signs of the 
Advent of the King of kings : shall we not give it ? 
W by hesitate to give the trump a certain sound ? 
Rome is falling. The false prophet is tottering, and 
Armageddon, with its strife and slaughter, is just 
upon us ! 
Come then, ye veterans of the Advent faith, come 
ye young with the old soldiers, let us shake off the 
the dust of sloth and indolence, and gird on the ar-
mor of God. Let us seek and possess full redemp-
tion, and do what we can to multiply the number 
who shall stand on Mount Zion in the day of the 
Lord.

the provisions of the 56th Chapter of the Acts of the Le-
gislature of Massachusetts of A. D. 1857, for charitable 
and religious purposes. The whole amount obtained by 
donations, subscriptions, or sales of publications, is to be 
expended in the publication of Periodicals, Books, and 
Tracts, and for the support of ministers of th Gospel. 
All contributions to our treasury, will be duly acknow-

report. When there is any omission of the proper credit, 
due notice should be at once given to

RECEIPTS. 
UP TO TUESDAY, JULY 22. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 1075 was the closing 
number of 1861 ; No. 1101 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1862; and No 1127 is to the 
close of 1862. Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address - the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is directed. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to give 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town and office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may be others at the same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the same family will write res-
pecting it,without stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forget even to sign 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent. 
Those mailing, or sending money to the office by other 
persons, unless they have a receipt forwarded to them, are 
requested to see that they are properly credited below. And 
if they are not, within a reasonable time, to notify the office 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respecting, and to send money himself, for his own paper 
than to send by an agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-offi:T right, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in small 
sums, is less likely to be lost than when sent in larger ones, 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage, merely 
to accommodate the one who sends.
