creation ;—the restoration of the kingdom to the 
Jews ; and the restoration of the whole earth to 
the dominion of man—the man Christ Jesus and 
his people. The "time" of restitution he viewed 
as a long period—a dispensation extending over 
the millennial age. He po:nted out the fact 
that the Greek word rendered "times" is not the 
same as is rendered "times" its the 19th verse. 
As I. did not hear his sermon on the nearness of 
the Advent—I am not prepared to say what 
position he took ; but in the first Sunday in Ad-
vent of the previous year he expressed himself 
as follows :—"On our limited scale of computa-
tion it may be shown that the time is at hand. 
I cannot enter upon this now, nor it is my de-
sign to occupy valuable time with questionable 
matters. But there are various intimations of 
time in Scripture:—"Time, times, and half a 
time ;" "forty and two months ;" "a thousand 
two hnndred and ninety days," and various oth-
er periods are mentioned : and, from whatever 
point they may be computed, there is a wonder-
ful synchronism ; a wonderful coincidence at the 
present time ; a wonderful convergence of all 
the various prophetic times. They all seem to 
be waning out : even dating their initial point of 
departure as late as we can, we still seem to be 
rapidly drawing to that time where these vari-
ous lines converge and meet in one point. It 
would take a considerable time to enlarge upon 
this so as to make it plain. We prefer merely to 
indicate it ; and, in so doing, to state that which 
receives the approbation of those who have given 
most attention to the subject. The prophetic 
times are fast running out. The sands in tne pro-
phetic hour-glass are very nearly exhausted. Be-
sides, the wide-spread diffusion of knowledge—
many running to and fro, and knowledge being 
multiplied--the tottering of ancient systems of 
superstition and idolatry ; the upheaving of na-
tions ; the dissemination of the Gospel, which 
was first to be preached to all nations, and then 
should the end come : all these indicate that the 
end is approaching And do we not hear, also 
the rumors of wars and tumults? Can any man 
shut his eyes or his ears to the unsettled condi-
tion of things ? Are we not compelled to ac-
knowledge that there are indications of approach-
ing war? And is anything wanting but that at 
any moment the Lord might come? Every sign 
had been more or less fulfilled. Some may ex-
pect other things. I do not. It would not sur-
prise me if he come to night---at any moment. 
"Behold I come as a thief." And this indicates 
that there is not a time when He may not be ex-
pected. He may come in the morning, at cock 
crow, in the evening or at midnight. If the good 
man of the house had known at what hour the 
thief would come he would have watched. But 
we do not know at what hour our Lord may 
come. Of that day and that hour knoweth no 
man. Let no man presume to know, or to make 
himself wise above that which is written. When 
we examine God's word we see all the indica-
tions there given to us receiving more or less a 
fulfillment: Therefore, nothing remains but to 
expect him at any moment." 
In the morning of the last Sunday in Advent 
I heard Dr. McNeile. His subject was, "The 
peace of God which passeth all understanding," 
And the way to enjoy it. He did not dwell on 
the Advent, yet his discourse was very good and 
practical. 
Christmas day morning I heard a very good 
sermon from Isa. 9, 6, by the Rev. Mr. Torrest, 
an evangelical and ardent minister of' the church 
of England ;-- and in the evening I accompanied 
my sister,Mrs Holme,to a tea meeting in connex- 
ion with the "Free Gospel Church." After tea 
there was some very good speaking,though much 
was said about overthrowing Antichrist and 
bringing in the latter day glory, by the preach-
ing of the gospel. The minister of this denomin-
ation receive no salaries, and are only paid their 
travelling expenses. 
The evening's walk called back the mind to the 
sunny days of childhood, when we gleefully 
walked and played in the fields, groves, and 
lanes of our early home. I am two years older 
than my sister, and never two little children 
were more intimate; and I can perceive that 
the endearment then formed has not been re- 
moved by the lapse of years,and the many cares 
and sorrows through which we have been called 
to pass. Often in conversation have we of late 
said in effect :--- 
Let us call back the time when we play'd 'mid 
the flow'rs, 
As we rov'd through the woods in life's first sun-
ny hours; 
When we danc'd on the heather that sprung at 
our feet, 
Or sung as we sat on a moss-covered seat. 
How brightly the sky then seem'd smiling above, 
[low happy the days were, how cloudless our 
love, esss' 
When the flow'rs that we cull'd with our tresses 
we twin'd, 
And our steps were as light and as free as the 
wind ! 
Oh ! yes, I remember how often at noon, 
When pausing to list to the wood-bird's sweet 
tune. 
The flow'rs of the wild, and the bloom on the 
tree, 
Far more than mere flow'rs seem'd to you and to 
me. 
Now those days have gone by, and youth's flow-
'rets are fled 
And we gaze on the blossoms that grow there in-
stead ; 
But the fragrance that sweetly around us they 
cast 
Now call back but shadows that breathe of the 
past. 
Thro' the woods, by the streams, still we'll wan-
der along, 
For the past lives again in your smile and your 
song ; 
And the friendship of youth still unfading shall 
be, 
While its flow'rs bloom so freshly for you and 
for me. 
Bless God, we are looking for the day when 
we shall receive immortal youth, and enter a 
land where no partings, and griefs, and tears will 
mar our joys and pleasures. 
Sunday Dec. 28th I spent the day in visiting 
the sick ; and in the evening I heard a sermon 
in the "Catholic Apostolic Church," from the 
words, "As it was in the days of Noe, so shall 
it be also in the days of the Son of man." The 
minister drew a dark picture of Christendom as 
a sign of the near approach of the Son of man. 
The building is a most magnificent affair---quite 
in advance of the one in Edinburgh. The chan-
cel alone has thirty windows of good size and 
exquisite beauty. Well this may be one extreme 
but I am not of those who like to have a nice 
dwelling house, and who like to dress nice, and 
who find fault if a house of worship is better 
than a barn, and say the money might have been 
used for a better purpose. 
Wednesday evening, 31st, after attending the 
monthly prayer meeting at St. Silas, conducted 
by Dr Taylor, I went in company with my 
niece to a "watch meeting," held in Trinity 
church. The incumbent, the Rev. Mr. Loraine, 
took for his text Ex. 12, 42, "It is a night 
much to be observed unto the Lord." After a 
brief explanation of the importance and solemni-
ty of the occasion to which the words origin-
ally referred, he proceeded to draw from it 
several serious lessons for the eonsidertion 
of Christian people on that last night of the 
year then all but gone. It was a night,he urged, 
specially suited to thought, meditation, and self-
examination of every one of his hearers, what-
ever. form of religion they professed, or what-
ever station they occupied in society. Surely 
there could be no more fitting opportunity for 
gathering together in some sacred or quiet place 
to hymn their praise to that Divine Ruler whose 
watchful care and kindly hand had been over 
them during the year. Surely there could be no 
more fitting time to gather the people together 
to join their solemn and fervent prayers as one 
cloud of incense for God's pardon of their faults 
and for God's helpful blessing for their future. 
Surely there is no more suitable season for quiet 
solemn thought, for devout remembrance of all 
the ways in which the good hand of God had led 
them during the eventful days and hours through 
which they had passed since the year 1862 came 
fresh and young to them. The address was of a 
most practical character ; and as an illustration 
of one branch of his subject,the reverend gentle-
man said, passing from the shopkeeper to the 
merchant, and from the merchant to the artisan, 
and from him again to the professional man, he 
did not believe there could be any danger of our 
becoming familiarised with the reports of those 
transactions of a fraudulent and dishonorable 
character that, alas, too frequently darkened the 
reports that we saw in our daily press, if men 
would do themselves the simple justice to act as 
Seneca told us an old Roman was wont to act, 
who kept his heart with such diligence that eve-
ry night he inquired of himself, saying, "What 
progress have I made towards goodness ? What 
have I done this day that has been unworthy of 
a man to do ? what have I done that requires 
repentance, and wherein may I improve my-
self ?" and having so examined himself, he said 
he would lay himself down to rest. Throughout 
many of the most impressive portions of the ad-
dress a great part of the congregation was moved 
to tears, and the scene which presented itself' was 
of a most interesting character. After the clock 
had struck twelve, and a few minutes had been 
spent in silent prayer, the reverend gentleman 
said—I wish you all a happy New Year. May 
it be brighter than any you have ever yet spent ; 
but depend upon it there is no true happiness 
without true goodness. 
I may add that Mr. Loraine was formerly a 
Wesleyan minister; and it would seem that the 
Wesleyans here regard him in about the same 
light in which their brethren in Canada regard 
me. They say he has turned his coat. 
Tuesday evening, Jan, 2nd, I attended, in 
company with my niece, Miss Holme, a meeting 
held by Dr. and Mrs. Palmer of New York. 
Their effort was a direct one to save souls. He 
told me that they have been three years in this 
country. I was happy to find in visiting some 
of my el' stant relations in Liverpool that the 
have been profited under their labors. Mrs. P. 
seemed to be the chief speaker, though the Dr. 
leads the meeting. 
Saturday 3rd, a man was executed here for 
murder. I passed soon after he was dead ; and 
though there was a great crowd, yet it was al-
most exclusively composed of the very lowest 
class of both sexes. Twenty-five years ago a mur-
der in England was of rare occurrence. Now 
such things are constantly taking place. Yea, 
vice in every form is on the increase. Though 
this is the happiest land on the globe, yet the 
abounding of sin, drunkenness, and misery, often 
beget the prayer, "Thy kingdom come"---"Come 
Lord Jesus." 
On the first sabbath of the new year I heard 
Dr. Taylor. His discourse was an earnest and 
affectionate appeal to the young, based on the 
words, "Come thou with us, and we will do thee 
good : for the Lord hath spoken good concerning 
Israel," Num. 10: 29. May the youthful read 
ers of the Advent Herald go with those who are 
journeying to the promised rest. On the Wed-
nesday evening following, through the polite-
ness of Mr. Duckitt, I attended a tea meeting 
connected with the same church. The obj ect of 
the meeting was to give a statement of their do-
ings during the past year. The report showed 
that they had raised over £900 sterling for dif-
ferent objects. They seem to be a working con-
gregation. I have spoken with Dr. Taylor a few 
times. He is a friendly man. 
Thurs. 8th, accompanied by a niece, I went to 
Byron Hall to hear the Rev. H. Grattan Guin- 
ness, who figured some time ago in the United 
States and Canada. The meeting had been ap-
pointed as a concert of prayer for the conversion 
of the Jews. He read the 11th chap. of Romans, 
and then dwelt on the 16th verse,--"If the cast-
ing away of them be the reconciling of the world, 
what shall the receiving of them be, but life 
from the dead ?" I interred from what he said 
that the Jews will be converted in connection 
with the coming of Christ and the new creation ; 
hut I spoke to him, and found him unsettled as 
to that ; however he fully believes that the Se-
cond Advent will, be pre-millennial. 
their chapel, and heard an eloquent sermon by a 
Wesleyan minister who was educated for a 
Catholic Priest ; and in the evening I preached 
for our friend, Bro. Curry, to a crowded house. 
My subject was the tearless world. Besides hav-
ing several of our kindred to hear me, I had a 
man and his wife who heard my first attempt to 
preach,whiea was over 30 years ago ! A gentle-
man called to see me the other day who heard 
my second attempt, which was on the same day 
as my first, though not in the same place. He 
is my own age. We run together in the public 
races when we were boys ; but now I trust we 
are both running the heavenly race. But most 
of those who heard me in those days are gone 
from the scenes of earth ! God give me and those 
who remain, grace to finish our course with joy, 
After fulfilling some engagements with Bro. 
Joseph Curry, I expect to visit Manchester and 
elsewhere.

On the Chemistry of Food. 
Concluded. 
As eating is a necessity of our nature, which 
must be several times a day repeated,and by all 
the millions of our race,it is wisely ordered that 
it shall be a pleasurable performance. Were 
food naturally loathsome,its use might be so neg. 
lected as to induce starvation iu the midst of 
plenty. And whatever tends to render it palat-
able and wholesome, enables it the better to sub. 
serve the great purpose for which it is provided. 
As the lower animals are found to thrive bet. 
ter on cooked, than on uncooked food, it is evi-
dent that it is made more nutritions by that pro-
cess; though it may be so cooked as greatly to 
lesson its digestibility. 
The processes of cooking mainly relied on,are 
those of roasting, baking, boiling, broiling and 
frying. This last is a heathenish mode, to which 
no Christian housewite should ever resort. It 
saturates the food with indigestible fat, fills the 
atmosphere with a feeted odor, and reveals the 
employment of the cook to every passer by. 
Broiling, quickly performed, is a wholesome 
mode of cooking, but is liable to be attended 
with a great waste of the juices of the meat. 
Ordinary fat meat loses in boiling about one 
fourth of its weight, and about one third in 
roasting ; but this excess of loss is owing to a 
greater evaporation of water and melting of fat, 
and not to a loss of valuable juices ; which in 
boiling escape into the water, while the water 
also enters in and dilutes them in the meat. 
The first point in cooking meat is to retain its 
albumen and saline juices, and limit the waste, 
so far as possible, to the evaporation of its wa-
tery parts. This can be done only by contract-
ing, as speedily as possible, the pores of the 
meat, by subjecting it at once to a sufficiency 
of heat ; which coagulates the albumen, and re-
tards the escape of its valuable properties. These, 
being retained, are converted into vapor in the 
meat, which is made tender and nutritive, by 
being cooked through the agency of its own 
juices. These dissolve the fibrine of the flesh,and 
so render it more digestible and easily assimila-
ted to the life circulating medium of the system. 
If fresh beef is put into boiling water, and 
there kept a few moments until its albumen co-
agulates, its cooking may be completed at a 
slightly lower temperature ; when it will be found 
juicy and tender, and of a somewhat similar fla-
vor to, though less nutritive than roast beef. 
But if put into cold water and gradually heated, 
its albumen will dissolve and flow into the wa-
ter with the other juices, and the meat becomes 
of little value. This, however, should be the 
course pursued, when it is desired to make beef 
tea, mutton or chicken broth, or soups and stews 
of any kind. For then the design is to make the 
liquid nutritive, at the expense of the meat. 
It is the same in the process of roasting. Ex-
posure to a slow fire,or insufficient heat,will cause 
the juices to flow from within as it dries at the 
surface ; and the material cooked is left dry,haBrud,

exposure to a brisk fire, or heat, will at once 
close its pores and retain its salient properties. 
In addition to the proper application of heat, 
fresh air is an indispensable condition to good 
baking or roasting. No one who remembers the 
old mode of roasting a Turkey, by suspending it 
by a string before a rousing kitchen fire, or the 
spits and tin ovens of a later time, need to be 
reminded how much more savory, palatable, and 
wholesome meats were when thus cooked, than 
are the same articles, when smothered by close 
baking in the tight stoves of the present day. 
And no good housewife can have failed to notice 
how much more savory were her pies when her 
stove was so over heated that to prevent burn-
ing she was obliged to admit into the oven,while 
baking, a supply of fresh air. 
The philosophy of this is perfectly obvious. 
The difference in the two modes is owing solely 
to the oxygen of the atmosphere, which in the 
one instance, comes in contact with the surface 
of that which is being cooked, oxidizes it, and 
gives it an agfeeable aromatic and savory odor, 
and an equally grateful and palatable flavor ; 
which are greatly wanting in its absence. Its 
combination with the meat, also makes it 
more wholesome, and more easily digestible,than 
that can be which is cooked in a close cavity. 
The present generation have almost lost the taste 
of good roast beef. They bake it in a tight iron 
box, and call it roast ; but it is no more like the 
roast beef of our fathers, than are the pale,lean, 
sickly, dispeptics, who have been made such 
by the indigestibility of their diet, like the stal-
wart, robust men of olden time, who could sleep 
soundly, if they had for their couch only a hare 
rock,and could almost eat a corner of it for their 
breakfast in the morning. 
Stove ovens, however, have become such a 
convenience, they may never be abandoned ; but 
they may be made to approximate to open fire 
cooking,by the circulation through them of a heat 
ed current of fresh air. And stoves thus construct- 
ed, are the only ones that will roast. The effect 
of this may be illustrated by the diverse action 
of heat on an organic body in the open air, in a 
close cavity, and in a distiller's retort. In the 
open air the oxygen of the atmosphere combines 
with the surface of the substance exposed to 
heat ; which, if meat, becomes crisped and fra-
grant. Substances heated in close cavities often 
undergo wonderful chemical changes. Albumin-
oid matters, when thus heated, first swell up and 
fuse, and then blacken, and emit a large quanti-
ty of footed products. And many of the organic 
acids, by such treatment, will undergo a remark-
able decomposition ; which makes it impossible 
that such calking should not interfere with the 
wholesomeness of food. 
In a distiller's retort the organic products, 
when heated, are decomposed,the valuable prop-
erties pass off in vapor, and the substance left is 
valueless and insipid. Such action of heat is 
rightly denominated "destructive distillation," 
When the substance thus acted on is not des-
troyed,it is materially affected. Some years since 
a baking company was formed in England, with 
a design to collect the alchohol formed by the 
lecomposition of the sugar in bread, during the 
rocess of baking. This end was obtained by at-
.thing still-heads to close ovens, and condens-
1` the vapors; but the dry unpalatable na-
tu of the bread produced, caused the project 
to abandoned as a commercial speculation. 
Nen heated in an open vessel, some matters 
may ,, boiled down to an extract—the water, 
"IY,lag evaporated,while those valuable prop-
erties . retained—which, in a retort, would

Perplexing Questions. 
No. 7. 
" Wide is the gate and broad is the way which 
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which 
go in thereat." 
Matt. 7 : 13. 
The argument' predicated on this text and 
others, in which the word destruction occurs, 
is that it is the final doom of all impenitent 
sinners " to be brought to nothing," or lose their 
conscious being, And Mr. Editor, were it not 
that your remark is true, that this whole con-
troversy turns on the meaning not the use of 
words, destructionists would have the argu-
ment. For they would only have to use, or 
find used the words " destruction," " destroy," 
" consume," " perish," &c., in some passage of 
Scripture in reference to the final end of the 
wicked, and their work is done. But it so hap-
pens that all these words are ambiguous and 
used in a variety of senses. Destruction, for in-
stance, expresses any degree of ruin, from a 
slight derangement of parts to an utter extinc-
tion. A mischeivous person, or a mischievous 
beast, for example, throws down a fence ; the 
farmer says, my fence is destroyed. But the 
destruction is simply a derangement of parts, 
not their extinction ; and so on, ad infinitum. 
The extreme meaning of "destroy," and "de-
struction," is, " to bring to naught." But it 
remains for destructionists to prove that in any 
given case it must have that extreme sense, be-
fore it avails anything to their argument. And 
this must be shown from the connection in which 
it stands. If it were an unambiguous word, like 
torment, which always implies suffering, the 
simple use of it would establish the doctrine; 
but having a variety of meanings, we must trace 
its use to its final results, when applied to the 
wicked. 
The Greek verb apollumi, is often quoted in 
this controversy, land its extreme definition, " to 
bring to naught," is given to it just as though 
it were used in no other sense in the Bible. 
Now these controversalists should know that 
our Lord uses it often in another sense : Luke, 
15 : " I have found my sheep which was lost," 
" my piece which was lost," " my son was lost." 
The verb apollumi is the one here rendered 
lost, in each case ; and yet in not one of 
them does it mean " brought to naught." 
. Apoolia, the word rendered destruction in the 
text at the head of this article, has also a va-
riety of shades of meaning. It is often ren-
dered perdition. " The perdition or Apoolia of 
ungodly men," 2, Pet. 3 : "Ascendeth out of 
the bottomless pit and goeth into perdition "—
Apoolia. 
What is the final apoolia to which ungodly 
men go, and to which the beast goes? "The 
beast was taken, and with him the false prophet," 
&c., " these both were cast alive into a lake of 
fire burning with brimstone." Rev. 19: 20. 
"Whosoever was not found written in the Book 
of Life was cast into the lake of fire," Rev. 
.20 : 18. The devil, too, is to be destroyed : 
Heb. 2 : 14, " That through death he might des- 
troy him that had the poweT 4144, 41/44. is 
the devil." 
What, then, is to be his destruction ? Rev. 
20 : 10. " The devil that deceived them was 
cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where 
the beast and the false prophet are ; and they 
shall be tormented day and night forever and 
ever." 
These words, " shall be tormented," are un-
ambiguous. his destruction, then, consists in 
eternal torment, and this is one of the meanings 
of destroy, as used in the Scriptures. 
But what is the Apoolia, or destruction of 
the beast ? Rev. 20 : 10. Where the beast 
and the false prophet are, and they shall be tor-
mented," (this verb is in the third person plural, 
and requires they for its nominative,) " day and 
night forever and ever." His destruction, then, 
is eternal torment. 
What is the perdition, destruction, or Apoo-
lia, of wicked men ? " If any man worship the 
beast and his image," &c., " the same shall 
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which' 
and " destruction," are all ambiguous words, 
used in a variety of senses and do not necessa-
rily mean " to bring to naught," but are all 
sometimes used to signify a state of suffering. 
"Torment " is an unambiguous word, and never 
implies cessation of conscious being, but is total-
ly incompatible with it : they cannot co-exist. 
But the unambiguous words " torment, " tor-
mented," &c., are used in connection with the 
strongest forms of expression known to language, 
to designate eternity, to express the final pun-
ishment and its duration, of all the enemies of 
God. The ambiguous, then, must be inter-
preted by the unambiguous words of Scripture; 
and not the unambiguous by the ambiguous. 
If this is a correct law of language, the final 
punishment of the wicked consists in eternal 
suffering. There is no escaping this conclusion, 
but by denying the authority of the Bible. 
The phrase, forever and ever," is the word 
used to express the measure of duration of the 
reign of God, of Christ, and of his saints, as 
well as the torments of the wicked. Rev. 11 : 
15, " He shall reign forever and ever," Rev. 
22 : 5, " And they shall reign forever and ever.' 
This means without end. " Of his kingdon 
there shall be no end." Luke 1 :32.

for a season has been permitted to defile; that 
man, the first of God's works, will be raised 
again and endued in a higher degree with those 
powers which had been lost and weakened by 
the tall. His spiritual nature will be more per-
fect than that of Adam ; because having been 
purchased and redeemed by our Saviour's blood, 
he is secure from temptation, and no longer li-
able to fall. His intellect will be enlarged by 
the contemplation of those mysteries which even 
angels cannot discern, while his body, preserv-
ing still all the attributes of humanity, will yet 
be endowed with higher perceptions, and thus 
fitted to share in the pure enjoyments of heaven. 
On this earth the story of our race began ; 
here Satan has, for a brief space,sdisplayed his 
power, and here, when the last scene closes, the 
triumph of Him who will be the victor over 
death and hell will be manifested. This earth 
will be renewed, but not annihilated, at least in 
the sense in which we understand the term. 
Why should God destroy His own work? It 
will be restored, purified, cleansed from all the 
defilement of sin ; and then the saints, whom 
Christ has redeemed, shall find here an abode. 
Clothed in those attributes of humanity which 
our Saviour assumed even after His resurrection, 
they will behold the pristine beauties of creation, 
such as it was when God pronounced his bless-
ing upon it. Here will be heaven, for God will 
nake this His especial abode when He shalt 
'gain return and dwell among men in Jehovah 
thammah. Then may it not be, that when all 
A very large class of fragrant odors consist 
of simple ethers combined with oxygen acids. 
The same compound radicals that,combined with 
oxygen, may produce pleasant impressions, 
when combined with sulpher or arsenic will pro-
duce those most offensive and disgusting. The 
Camphors, Balsoms, odoriferous Resins, whose 
fragrance is more or less agreeable, always con-
tain Oxygen. Many that are inodorous, become 
fragrant by combination with oxygen when drop-
ped on a red hot surface. Such resins as myrrh, 
frankincense, and aloes, have very little natural 
fragrance, and their chief value and use consist 
in their agreeableness on being burned,—caused 
by the oxygen which then combines with them. 
Fresh tea leaves have none of the odor or 
flavor of the dried. The pleasant taste and de-
lightful aroma for which they are so much prized, 
are developed by the roasting process they un-
dergo. This can be effected only in the open air, 
where the. oxygen acts on the juices of the leaf, 
and produces chemical changes in its constitu-
ents—imparting to it its flavor and color. The 
aromatic flavor of cocoa (ko-ko), is due to the 
roasting to which its meat is subjected previous 
to grinding. And the coffee bean has little smell 
or taste previous to its being roasted. When this 
is done in a close vessel its flavor is very inferior. 
Its much prized aroma and the greater portion 
of its taste are owing to the combination with it 
of the oxygen of the atmosphere during that pro-
cess. These illustrations show how essential fresh 
air is to good cookery. 
The advent of our Saviour has, however, 
solved the great problem of humanity, and has 
indeed brought life and immoitality to light. 
He proved that the creation which God pro-
nounced vety good cannot be essentially evil. 
He will prove hereafter that what God has 
cleansed we may not call common. This earth, 
once so beautiful and undefiled, will again be 
created anew, and restored to its pristine beauty, 
when the trail of the serpent has been effaced. 
Again the roses shall bloom in Sharon, the dews 
fall on Hermon, and the glory of Lebanon 
spring forth. But more than this. Our Sa-
viour has proved that the fallen race of Adam 
might be raised to higher honor ; that the feel-
ings and affections and sympathies incidental 
to our human nature are not inconsistent with 
the utmost purity ; that a material form (not 
a mere semblance, for " a spirit has not flesh 
and blood, as ye see me have,") might be unit-
ed to one who was " holy, harmless, undefiled, 
and separate from sinners." 
A new light has therefore been shed on truths 
which had been hard to comprehend before the 
manifestation upon our earth of the incarnate 
God. Those predictions are now understood as 
literal, which men had formerly interpreted as 
spiritual. The great fact stands forth incontro-
vertible, engraved as upon a rock. The Divine 
footsteps have left their impress on this earth. 
God manifest in the flesh has solved the great 
problem of humanity. 
When our Saviour did actually walk with 
man and endured privation and suffering in a 
human form ; when after His humiliation He

but that if loss of being is the penalty, when they 
have once endured that the law can have no farther 
claim upon them; and therefore that, as we think, 
there must be abandoned either the claim that pain 
is the penalty, or that their existence is limited. 
The word zee is expressive of a condition of being 
and in no case of being irrespective of its condition. 
It is never expressive of eternal life, and is in no 
p'ace in the Bible thus rendered. It has in it no ele-
ment expressive of duration ; which, when given in 
its connection,is always expressed by some adverbial 
or adjective qualifier. Thus the phrase, eternal life, 
is no where represented in the Greek by zoe; which, 
in such connection, is simply the representative of 
life, as significant of its kind,—its duration, as ex-
pressed by its appendage eternal, being otherwise 
represented. Thus in the text referred to—John 3: 
36, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting 
life ; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see 
life,"—the word life is in each case represented by 
zoen ; whilst everlasting, in the first connection, is 
represented by aionion—the phrase rendered life 
everlasting., being zoen oionion ; whilst life, in the 
last connection, is zoen without any expression of 
its duration. 
As the wicked will never see zoen, when raised 
they will not be in the condition represented by that 
denominative—even for the briefest possible moment 
of time. They do sometimes have their zoe in this 
life, The rich man enjoyed his here—eliciting the 
apostrophe of Abraham, "Son, remember that thou 
in thy zoen rcceivedst thy good things," Luke 10s. 
25 ; but his was a fleeting zoe : it might he said of 
his, as it is of all our present good, "For what is 
your zoen? It is even as a vapor,that appeareth for a 
little time,and then vanished' away," James 4: 14 ; 
which shows that zoe itself is no more expressive of 
permanency than is the other word referred to, ex-
pressive of lived agaip—the duration in each case 
being otherwiseexpressed. 
Our brother, therefore,will see we think, that the 
distinctions he has expressed and the issues made 
are not well founded. 
Why sit ye thus in vain suspense? 
Why wait in doubt and fear, 
While death within the city reigns 
And watches for you here ? 
Come fall away to Jesus' side, 
Nor longer hesitate ; 
Come, find salvation in his name, 
And sit in Zion's gate. B. O. H. 
To conclude, I will say, that the real difference 
between us appears to be this :—You take tl e

THE ADVEN F HERALD 
The War. 
We are not able to chronicle events, during the 
last week, so much as expectations. 
A correspondent of the New York Tribune, wri-
ting from Hilton Head Feb. 12, announces an inn- 
Diet of Gotha presented their thanks to the Duke portant expedition as follows :— 
for his rejection. Negotiations are believed to be " Within the next forty-eight hours a brigade of 
get the Duke to reconsider his de- infantry, with a number of heavy batteries, under 
command of Gen. Seymore, will be embarked for 
the Ogeechee and Wilmington rivers, with a view 
to a lodgment on the main land and islands adjacent 
to their mouths, and the construction of obstruc-
tions in the channels and the erection of batteries on 
the shore, in order to prevent effectually the success 
of any attempt by either the Nashville or the iron-
clad Atlanta to come out of their present hiding 
places.. This movement is being made in conse-
quence of the impossibility developed by the un-
successful efforts of the Montauk to force the rebel 
obstructions in the rivers mentioned, and will re-
lieve both the Montauk and Passaic from the mere 
blockading duty now performed by them, and en-
able them to re oin the fleet for more important 
services for which they have been sent to these 
waters. It is not improbable that our troops will 
have an encounter with the rebel forces in and 
about Fort McAllister, believed to be about equally 
strong. The new Chief Engineer, Capt. Donane, 
accompanies the expedition." 
A New York paper says that it is stated that as 
soon as Congress shall pass the measure authorizing 
the issue of letters of marque, three swift sailing, 
heavily-armed steamers will start from that port 
after the Florida and Alabama. The Retribution, 
being only a sailing vessel, should be overhauled 
by some of our regular naval gunboats. 
Rear Admiral Porter, communicates the follow-
ing reports to the Secretary of the Navy : 
U. S. MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON, Feb. 8, 1863. 
Sir : I am happy to inform you that the steamer 
Vicksburg was so badly injured by the Queen of 
the West that she has to be kept afloat with large 
coal barges fastened to her sides. Her machinery 
has been taken out and she will likely be destroyed. 
This is the fifth steamer of which we have deprived 
the rebels. The Vicksburg was the largest and 
strongest steamer on the river, and I think they 
were preparing to use her against our transports, 
being very fleet. Iler wheels and guards were all 
smashed in and a large hole knocked in her side, so 
deserters report. 
Last night I started a coal barge with 20,000 
bushels of coal from the anchorage up the river to 
run the batteries at Vicksburg. It had ten miles 
to go to reach the Queen of the West and arrived 
safely within ten minutes of the time calculated, 
nut having been seen by the sentinels. 
The Navy Department has received information 
of recent captures made by Cul. Ellet on Red river, 
the facts of which were published some week since. 
Representative Gooch said to-day in the House, 
by instruction of the Committee on the Conduct of 
the War, of which he is a member, that a recently 
published statement that Gen Meigs refused to tes-
tify to the treason of an officer whom he has been 
favoring, is without any foundation, and on the 
same authority an emphatic denial is given to the 
truth of another statement that Gen. McClelltn has 
been summoned before the same committee to meet 
grave charges. 
BALTIMORE, Feb. 19. The reception of Gen. 
Butler here was a grand affair. 
This afternoon, while Gen. Butler in company 
with the Committee of Reception and Gen. Schenck 
and staff, were visiting the forts around the city, a 
most melancholy accident took place, which cast 
quite a gloom over the party. They had visited 
Forts McHenry and Federal Hill, and had gone 
thence to Fort Marshall, at the eastern extremity of 
the city. Here a salute was fired. 
Just as the General and his party had passed the 
ramparts, out of range of the guns, the gunner, 
supposing that the whole party had passed, fired a 
32-pounder, but most unfortunately just as the gun 
was discharged some of the party who had loitered 
behind came up, and one of them, Commander 
Maxwell Woodhull, U. S. N., received the whole 
charge, which blew the flesh from his lower limbs 
and caused his death in a few minutes. His body 
was blown over the ramparts to the distance of 
thirty feet. 
The unfortunate officer was about fifty years of 
age. He has a son on Gen. Schenck's staff. In con-
quence of this sad accident the dinner, which was 
to have taken place at the Eutaw House, was post-
poned out of respect to the deceased and Gen Schenck, 
who was his cousin. 
The Richmond Enquirer has the following tele-
graph, dated Charleston, Feb. 18 :

THE RUINS OF BABYLON.—A letter from Bagdad, 
in the Moniteur, says :—"The excavations carried 
on among the ruins of Babylon, under the direction 
of the French Consul at Bagdad, have resulted in 
some interesting discoveries. In the Nimroud Mon 
rid, which was visited by Mr. Layard in 1840, were 
found four bas-relief of colossal dimensions, each 
sculptured on a large slab of stone, and represent-
ing allegorical figures. The larger part of bas-reliefs 
hears long inscriptions in cuneiform characters, and 
are remarkable for their state of preservation. A 
certain number of other sculptures of smaller dimen-
Cons, representing scenes of Assyrian life or war-
like episodes, have also been discovered. These ar-
tistic treasures are on their way to France. 
The present winter is terribly severe in Russia. 
A letter from St. Petersburg says :—"In the memo-
ry of man there has not been such a winter as this 
at St. Petersburg—twenty degrees of cold ; the river 
and the sea locked in ice for a long time past, and 
not a flake of snow ! Owing to the glassy frost, 
horses and pedestrians cannot keep a footing upon 
either the road or the pavements. The air is extreme-
ly dry ; we beeathe it with difficulty. Nervous peo-
ple are particularly affected by it ; accordingly no 
one stirs out except on business ; and of carriages 
and promenaders there are literally none, even at 
the Nevskia perspective, between two and four in 
the afternoon, where there is ordinarily a great 
crowd." 
Foreign News. 
ENGLAND 
Parliament met on the 5th, inst. 
The Queen's speech contained nothing of special 
interest except the following : 
" Her Majesty has abstained from taking any step 
with a viewsto induce a cessation of the conflict be-
tween tse contending parties of the North American 
States, because it has not yet seemed to her that any 
such overtures could be attended with a possibility 
of success. Her Majesty has viewed with the deep-
est concern the desolating warfare which still rages 
within those regions, and she has witnessed with 
heartfelt grief the severe distress and suffering which 
that war has inflicted upon a large class of Her 
Majesty's subjects, but which have been borne by 
them with great fortitude and exemplary resigna- 
tion. It is some consolation to Her Majesty to be 
led to hope that this suffering and this distress are 
rather diminishing than increasing, and that some 
renewal of employment, is beginning to take place 
in the manufacturing districts." 
At the opening of business in the House of Lords, 
the Prince of Wales took his seat for the first time, 
with the formalities usual on such occasions. 
FRANCE. 
A Paris letter contains a report that Mr. Lincoln's 
administration demands from France a categorical 
explanation of the Emperor's intentions with re-
gard to Mexico, and of the interpretation to be put 
on his letter to Gen. Furey. 
In the Corps Legislatif the general debate on the 
address had closed, and the first paragraph was 
adopted after some demur to the government policy 
toward the press, and the modifications of the elec-
toral lists. The second paragraph was also adopted 
after an effort to get a favorable mention of Poland 
inserted. 
It was reported that the Pope had refused the 
Cardinal's hat to the new Archbishop of Paris al-
though the Empress asked the favor. 
The Paris papers contain the news of an insur-
rection in Cochin China. There has been desperate 
attacks on the French forces,:and severe fighting had 
taken place. The Cochin Chinese were repulsed 
with heavy losses, and the insurrection was checked. 
The Bourse was from at 70f 45c. 
POLAND. 
The insurgents continue active. 
It was reported that the government at Warsaw 
had began to stop the conscription, and an order 
declares that all persons taken for conscription on 
the nights of the 24th and 27th January are to he 
released. 
An unsuccessful attempt to poison the family of 
the Marquis Wielopolski was reported. 
The Council of the Empire at Warsaw had re-
ceived an order from the Emperor to propose sever-
al bills of administrative reform for Poland. 
The Russian gevernment is said to have applied 
for and obtained from Poland a trusty agent of the 
French secret police to organize the French system

READY TO PARDON. 
When God pardons the sin-
ner, he never delays, nor puts off, but does it in-
stantly. He sees the prodigal returning afar off, 
laden with all manner of sins, and cannot await 
his arrival, but runs to meet him with pardoning 
mercies. Ile hears Ephraim bemoaning himself, 
and instantly cries, " Ephraim is a dear sun, a 
pleasant child : since the time I spake against him, 
I do most earnestly remember him still and my 
bowels are turned towards him : and 1 surely will 
have mercy upon him." He finds the publican in 
the temple smiting upon his breast, and crying, 
" God be merciful to me a sinner," and sends him 
home to his house justified. 
0, how true ! " My ways are not like your 
ways saith the Lord." No, no ; he pardons like a 
God, fully, freely, abundantly and forever. 
Prot. Churchman: 
—In conversation it is better to talk about things 
than about persons ; and when we talk about persons 
it is better to speak of their good qualities than of 
their bad ; and better than either is to pray to the 
Lord, saying—"Make me to know my transgression 
solemn duty to inform time citizens of Cha*ston and 
Savannah that the movements of the enemy's fleet 
indicate an early land and naval attack on one or 
both cities, and to urge that persons unable to take 
al active part in the struggle shall retire. It is 
hoped, however, that this temporary separation of 
some from your homes will be made without alarm 
or undue haste, thus showing that the only feeling 
which animates you in this hour of supreme trial 
is the right of being able to participate in the de-
fense of your homes, altars and the graves of your 
kindred Carolinians and Georgians. The hour is 
at hand to serve your country's cause. Let all 
able bodied men from time sea-board to the moun-
tains rush to arms. Be not too exacting in the 
choice of weapons ; pikes and scythes will do for 
exterminating your enemies, spades and shovels 
for protecting your firesides. To arms, fellow citi-
zens ! Come to share with us our danger, our bril-
liant success, our glorious death. 
(Signed) 
G. T. BEAUREGARD. 
General Commanding. 
Final preparations for the expected attack are be-
ing rapidly perfected. The troops and people are 
calm and confident. 
The Enquirer's leader says there has been no in-
tention, or pretense of an intention, to mediate at 
all on the part of France. The South want 'no 
French mediation while hostilities still go on. 
—"Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart ; so doth 
a man his friend by hearty counsel." A beautiful 
illustration of the truth of this, is furnished by Jon-
athan, who, when his friend David was a lonely ex-
ile in the wilderness for fear of Saul, and was de-
jected in spirits, sought him out, tenderly sympa-
thized with him, and presented to him those consid-
erations which lifted up the hands which:hung down, 
and invigorated the feeble knees. The record is—
"And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose, and went to Da-
vid into the wood, and strengthened his hand in 
God," 1 Sam. 23: 16. 
Thus should we comfort and succor our friends 
in the day of trouble. Time worth of a friend is, 
proved in adversity. If lie shows net his friendship 
then,he is,—as Solomon says—"like a broken tooth, 
or a foot out of joint." 
FAMILY PRAYERS.—The Bishop of Rochester has 
issued a long letter to his clergy on the subject of 
family prayer. His Lordship says : "The special 
purpose of my letter is to request all the clergy of 
this diocese to preach puhlicly, and at least once,on 
the first Sunday of the new year (Jan. 4, 1863),and 
urge the people in my narne,and by such arguments 
as they think are likely to prevail, to adopt the re-
gular daily practice of family prayer. They will 
afterwards, I trust follow up this appeal by such so-
licitations and measures as their experience may 
show them are likely to take good effect." 
DR. CHANNING AND THE SCEPTIC. A sceptic vis-
ited the late Dr. Charming, and told him that he 
could not reconcile the terrible denunciation in the 
twenty-third chapter of Matthew, with the meek-
ness and compassion of the Saviour. "Let me know," 
said the great preacher, "what it is in particular 
troubles you ?''—and taking up the New Testament, 
he begun to read the passages, with the sweet so-
lemnity of his voice. He had not proceeded far, be-
fore his critic said :—"Ah, if the Saviour denounc- 
e tone like that, 1 have nothing more to say." 
—"Do not my words do good to him that walketh 
uprightly ?" The upright man is renewed in the 
spirit and temper of his mind, who is created in 
Christ Jesus unto good works. Such a man is pro-
fited by the word of God. lie loves it, reads it, and 
it does him good. Hence, if we love not the word 
of God, if it does us no good, if we are offended at 
it, it is proof that we have not the feelings and dis-
position of God's people.

PRUSSIA. 
Th King in reply to an address from the Cham-
ber of Deputies, endorsed the proceedings of the 
Ministry, and pronounced the complaint of the 
Chambers against the administration to be unfound 
ed, and asserted his determination to maintain the 
rights of the Crown and the Upper House, but de-
plored the differences of opinion and hoped for a 
reconciliation. 
Source of Error. 
A contemporary observes : "Many lamentable er-
rors would be avoided, by giving good heed to the 
distinction of Moses; "The secret things belong un-
to the Lord our God ; but those things which are 
revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, 
that we may do all the words of this law." A fruit-
ful source of error, likewise is—prejudice. "Mr. 
Prejudice fell down and broke his leg ;" says Bun-
yan, in his Holy War. And then,bluntly,yet hearti-
ly adds : "I wish he had broken his neck." 
It might be added that Mr. Prejudice judges 
many things to bissamong the secrets which God has 
reserved to his own keeping, which, if lie would but 
candidly read God's word,he would find to be among 
those which God has revealed unto us and to our 
children. 
THR CANAL AT VICKSBURG. Telegraphic advices 
have informed us that the bombardment of Vicks-
burg was commenced on the 18th inst, but it would 
seem that active proceedings against the enemy's 
greatest stronghold have not interfered with the 
grand project of isolating the place. Intelligence 
from Gen. Grant's army to the 17th says that the 
success of the new cut-off is considered certain, and 
that within a fortnight from that date gunboats and 
transports would pass through it. Contrabands are 
seized wherever found and pressed into service to 
cut trees, dig up stumps and clear out obstructions 
About 3400 are already at work. General Grant's 
plan is to surround the enemy by gunboats to pre-
vent retreat, and then to take the place by regular 
siege operation, and not by a bold dash upon their 
batteries. 
THE POLISH INSURRECTION. 
The Paris correspondent of the London Times 
says in his last letter : 
" A letter received from Warsaw of the 31st of 
January gives further details relative to the Polish 
insurrection. It states that although the Russian 
Governmsont has repeatedly announced that the revo-
lutionary movement is suppressed, and not with-
standing the difficulty experienced in Warsaw in 
knowing what is passing outside the town, the 
writer has reason to believe that the insurgents 
are maintaining their positions, and that they are 
rather gaining than losing ground. When the in-
surgents are dispersed in one place they rally in 
another, and they are everywhere protected by the 
peasants." 
The Vienna correspondent of the times also says 
that the insurrection has assumed very formidable 
dimensions, extending beyond the boundaries of 
Poland. While batallions of Russian troops have 
been attacked and dispersed and strong positions 
taken at the point of the sword.

exalt himself and magnify himself above every God." 
Dan. 11:36: and the former passage is as near 
a verbatim quotation of the latter as often occurs. 
St. Paul virtually' says "That day cannot come un-
til that man shall be revealed predicted by Daniel." 
And the king mentioned in Dan. 36th verse, is 
clearly identical with the vile person. v. 21, unless 
this part of the chapter must be read by a light en-
tirely unique, and in violation of all laws of com-
position, human and divine. This is not poetry, no 
one will claim that it is symbolic ; it is not even 
figurative. It must, then, he literal. If not,what 
is it? Must it be regarded, for mere theory's sake 
to be " without a model or a shadow?" and even 
the last half totally unlike the first half? Every 
one reads the prophecy, to about the middle, ac-
cording to the book, and the rest just as lie pleases. 
A king, and kingdom, up to v. 21, is allowed the 
natural. " Ile" and "Him," in every instance, re-
fer to an individual person ; but afterwards, these 
last words are made to mean whole kingdoms or 
empires. And for what reason ? none, but that a 
theory must be subserved. Where else in literal 
prophecy do " He" and "Him" have such a mean-
ing? 
With this liberty, how do you know that the 
" raiser of taxes " and the "vile person" are indi-
vidual men, as you say, and not empires or sys-
tems? You insist that the former being Augustus 
Cmsar, the latter must be Tiberias. But why ? 
Unless you recognize the laws of composition, and 
if you do that, the same laws require that the his-
tory of that vile person continue to the end of the 
chapter and the end of the world. There is no hint 
of his reign ending and a successor following 
throughout ; but the narrative continues connected-
ly to the close. Besides, his early history, vs. 27,8, 
is associated with "the end." Tile same.person is 
represented as executing the military expedition, v. 
29, and "the former," v. 24, and "the latter" v. 
21. This vile person takes away the daily when 
begin the 1290 days, v. 31. and 12:11. 
and France, has a counterpart from v. 5, to v. 29.`e 
But as this prophecy, ch. 11, embraces a history 
of more than 23 centuries, and as not more than 
ten or twelve successive persons are alluded to at all 
it is clear that the design was only to touch upon 
great military characters and events. Now the 
word "then," v. 20, necessitates an immediate suc-
essor, but in the next instance it is only said 
"There shall stand in his estate a vile person ;" so 
that several unimportant personages might have in-
tervened. I think this vile person is Louis Napo-
leon ; and he that turned his face towards the forts 
of his own land and stumbled and fell was the first 
Napoleon, and as Louis XVII was once overthrown 
"without the shedding of one drop of blood," as 
Abbott declares, and as he agreed to raise an im-
mense sum for his allies, I think him the raiser of 
" taxes, to be overthrown neither in anger nor in 
battle." Napoleon's subsequent overthrow and 
Louis elevation are not mentioned—they affecting 
no material change from the previous condition.

BROTHER BLISS : For the last five weeks I have 
been holding meetings in North and South Troy, 
and in Newport, Vermont. The brethren in Troy 
are trying to live amidst the perils of the last days. 
They have no one to preach to them much of the 
time. They have weekly prayer-meetings. I tried 
to preach to them evenings and Sunday, for the first 
three weeks, or at least a part of the time evenings. 
The meetings were very well attended, and time 
brethren were somewhat comforted and encouraged 
to go on in the good way to life. 
There was no special interest manifested among 
the people. I did not feel satisfied, and on Monday, 
Dec. 29th, I went to Brother N. Orcutt's, and 
stopped with him until Wednesday. I felt some-
what discouraged in not seeing the work of the Lord 
prospering under my labors. I could only look to 
tile Lord for wisdom to direct in the matter. 
After much meditation and prayer, 1 resolved to go 
to Newport, a place known here as the lost nation. 
I got to the place time enough to have the ap-
pointment given out in school for a meeting that 
night, Dec. 31. The house was well filled. The 
people heard as though they loved to hear. After 
-preaching, they wanted I should preach to them the 
next evening. I did so. They were not satisfied. 
Then I promised them I would stop over the follow-
ing Sabbath. The good word of the Lord began to 
take effect in the hearts of some the second even- 
ing. The interest increased every evening,and Sun-
day the house was filled. .A nnmber had found 
pardon, and were made happy in a Savior's love. 
Sunday evening a large number requested prayers, 
and the meeting closed,. I did not expect to have 
any more meetings. Brother Orcutt was with us 
the most of the time, and he is good help in the 
work of the Lord. Brother C. V. Coburn was with 
us over the Sabbath. His prayers and exhortations 
were timely and to the point. Brother 0. is preach-
ing some. He lives in Troy. Brother C. lives in 
Westfield. Monday morning, Brother 0. and my-
self went to visit the people in that neighborhood. 
We very soon feund they were not satisfied to have 
the meeting stop there, and so I promised I would 
stay another week. We commenced meetings on 
Wednesday, and continued them over the Sabbath. 
A good number were converted, and a number re-
claimed from their backslidden state. One soldier, 
who had been in U. S. service for 18 months, en-
listed into tile heavenly army, and started for the 
kingdom. Many others became interested in the 
good work, and expressed a wish to go with us. 
A brother Hancock was with us on the Sabbath,and 
preached in the afternoon. He is one of tile Wes-
leyan preachers. 
On Sabbath evening I preached for the last time. 
After preaching, a good number testified to the 
goodness of God. After this a googly number re-
quested an interest in the prayers of all God's dear 
children. We then closed our meeting with prayer, 
and bid the people farewell, feeling the evidence in 
our own heart ,that many from the lost nation in 
Newport would find their way into the everlasting 
kingdom. So we will not be discouraged any more, 
but will go on our way rejoicing. Let us all take 
courage and we will soon he home. 0, hail happy 
day, that speaks our trials ended ! 
Most respectfully yours, looking for redemption 
in Christ.

Marshfield, Vt., Jan 14, 1863. 
By ch. 10:14, the great burden of this prophecy 
is announced to be what shall befall the people of 
God in the latter days; and nothing is seen to befall 
them but as recorded in ch. 11:31-5, and under the 
dominion of that lawless king. In ch. 12, Daniel 
inquires how long these things,—this that befalls 
his people under antichrist—shall continue ? and he 
is told, 1260 days. But this is indefinite ; it gives 
no beginning point ; and he is then informed that 
this persecution shall end 1290 days from the re-
moval of the daily, and that 1335 days shall bring 
the resurrection. Thus the duration of the perse-
cution is given, and then a fixed date for its com-
mencement-30 days after the overthrow of the 
daily; and then an interval of 45 days is included 
till Daniel stands in his lot ; so that the daily must 
he taken away within 1335 days of the end; and a 
the vile person, v. 21, is instrumental in its re 
moval, he could not be Tiberius ; for he lived more 
than 1800 years ago. Even the year-day theory 
will not make harmony, by 500 years. 
You certainly cannot introduce a personal succes-
sor to the vile person much less a new empire before 
the daily is removed, v. 31. If one may be where 
none is indicated, how do you know but several suc-
cessors occur in vs. 20, not indicated ? and if the 
raiser of taxes was Augustus, that the vile person 
was Tiberius? 
If this " person" ceases his reign till the " end," 
no hint is given of it ; and all the authorities which 
you can quote for a twelve month will not weigh a 
feather against the language itself. Some drop a 
king or nation and introduce a new one about vs. 
1-6, but inspiration does not. The characters and 
subject are clearly the same. The " end" is men- 
tioned in vs. 27 and 35. The covenant" is em-
braced in vs. 30, and 35. 
This vile-person is king of the north ; is Rome 
then the north? It is a southern country. But 
this north can be traced hack to one remove from 
the fall of Alexander vs. 4,5, and so Syria is exclu-
ded. But if you begin with Syria as the "north." 
and then drop it and introduce Rome with no in-
spired indication of a change, merely because Rome 
became more powerful than Syria, I can with equal 
propriety, and for the same reason, drop Rome and 
introduce France before v. 21. But the same 
north" which commences at v. 5, clearly contin-
ues to the judgment, v. 45, and as it is the most 
powerful military monarchy in western Europe 
which ends the scene, France must be that mon-
archy. 
As the prophetic order of empire is from Alexan-
der to Rome, and as the immediate successor to his 
empire in this prophecy is the "south," Rome must 
be the south, v. 4. And as the Roman empire was 
continued in the German and Austrian empires, 
and every German emperor was also entitled king 
of Rome, he was king of the south. Besides every 
important military epoch in the history of Austria

Bito. Buss :—I have read in the Herald a piece 
by W. H. Eastman upon the weekly sabbath. I 
was well pleased to hear him defend the law of the 
sabbath, which is the fourth commandment of the 
decalogue or ten commandments, penned on the ta-
ble of stone by the linger of God, on Sinia, in the 
days of Moses. He showed that time law of the sab-
bath has not been relaxed or Ade nul or void in 
any degree whatever, and thereby has overturned 
the doctrine of the no sabbath theory. Now I feel 
by the grace of God like David of old, 0 Lord how 
I love thy law. 1 should not know any thing about 
a scriptural weekly sabbath, if it was not for the 
fourth commandment of God's law. Now I do not 
believe that God ever authorized Christ or his apos-
tles to alter or relax the law of the sabbath ; for 
God is unchangeable, and his law is like its Author. 
But in Daniel, 7: 25, we learn that the beast which 
symbolized the Roman Catholic church should think 
to change times and laws. When the Roman beast 
changed the Sabbath from the seventh day of the 
week to the first day of the week, he changed both 
time and laws, and that of God. Now I ask you to 
give one text of Scripture to show that Christ ever 
kept the first day of the week,to fill the fourth com-
mandment ; and yet he tells us he kept his Father's 
commandments. If you want to find the examples 
of the apostles for keeping the weekly sabbath, turn 
and read the 23d chapter of Luke, from the 50th 
verse to the end of the chapter. I learn that he was 
crucified on the preparation day, which must be the 
sixth day of the week, because it was preparation 
day of the sabbath. Jesus died at the ninth hour of 
the day, Jewish time, which would be three o'clock 
in the afternoon Roman time. Between the ninth 
hour of the day and the end of the day, Christ was 
taken from the cross, and laid in the sepilchre, and 
the women who beheld how his body was laid ; and 
they returned and prepared spices and ointment,and 
rested the sabbath day, according to the command-
ment. Now what is the commandment for keeping 
the sabbath day ? the fourth command of God's law, 
the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God 
&c. For the example of Paul for keeping the 
weekly sabbath, turn to Acts 28: 17, "Men and 
brethren, though I committed nothing against the 
peOple or customs of our fathers." Now if Paul had 
kept time first day of the week to fulfill the fourth 
commandment, he would have done contrary to the DEAR BRO, Berss :—The people around ate 
 
traditions of the fathers ;for the fathers kept the not friendly to second advent doctrine. What I 
in- have to say on this subject, is in presenting the 
seventh day of the week ; to fulfill the fourth co 
mandment. Now Bro.Bliss,if you please,I should be I most clear and overwhelming portions of Scripture 
glad to have you put this in the paper. I should 
like to see whether the brethren like my views on 
the subject.

From Bro. F. Gale. 
MY DEAR Bno. BLISS is said that "tile hon- 
est man is the noblest work of God. For one, I 
mean to be honest and pay for the Heraid, and 
have it for my paper ; for it teaches DS (as does the 
Bible) to " do jnstly, love mercy, and walk hum' 
bly." I think I can say truly, I love the precious 
truth, it advocates. May the time soon come when 
we shall no more need it to herald the coming of the 
Prince of peace. Yours truly, F. GALE,

BRO. BLISS :—I have mislaid the Herald, contain-
ing some inquiries of a Bro, and your reply in ref-
erence to the " vile person," of Dan. 11:21. and the 
"man of sin" 2 Thess. The inquirer seems natur-
ally to have associated them as one ; and if the lat-
ter part of Dan. 11. is not totally unlike all other 
compositions in the universe, they ate the same.—
He " who opposeth and exalteth himself above all 
that is called God, or that is worshipped," 2 Thess. 
2:4, is clearly the same with the king who " shall 
with Rev. /9: 11 to 20: to v. 7. You will see the ex-
act parallelism, and that the day is before us arid 
not distant. In the midst of all this there is com-
fort and full assurance of hope of the faithful follow. 
ers and patient waiters for Christ. Great events 
will, and are taking place in the Eastern nations; 
which prove that we are close to the day of the Lord. 
We cannot tell how soon the Lord may send forth 
his angels to gather out of his kingdom and to des. 
troy every timing that offendeth, and every worker 
of iniquity. May we be ready when the Sun of man 
cometh, and be sharers of his glory. 
Yours in gospel faith 
From Bro. P. Hobart. 
DEAR BROTHER BLISS :—It seems that perilous 
times have come. Brother is in battle array against 
brother. A man's foes seem to be of his own house. 
hold. I look, and wonder if this dreadful war is to 
continue until He whose right it is to reign shall 
come and God will give it him. Well, what is just 
before us we cannot tell. We have all something to 
do. Thinking of myself, brings to mind what Bar-
zillai said to king David, as he was returning from 
exile, to take the kingdom again. The king said to 
Barzillai, "Come thou over with me, and I will feed 
thee with me in Jerusalem;" and Barzillai said un-
to the king, "How long have Ito live? I am this 
day four score years old. Can I discern between 
good and evil ? Can thy servant taste what I eat or 
what I drink? Can I any more hear the voice of 
singing men or singing women ?" Well he did not 
say that he had lost entirely all those senses ; but 
from what he did say, we might think likely they 
were somewhat impaired. Well now, I have arrived 
at his age ; and yet I think I can discern between 
good and evil,as well as at any age of my life. As to 
what I eat and drink, it tastes good. I don't think 
it will hurt me, unless I take too much. This I try 
to guard against. And as for singing men,and sing-
ing women, it sounds beautiful, although I cannot 
sing myself. How much I have to thank the blessed 
God for that it is so well with me as it is. 0 how 
it becomes God's people, who are looking for his 
speedy coming and kingdom, to live in readiness, 
knit together in bonds of love. 
Affectionately yours, hoping to meet in God's 
heavenly kingdom, where there will be no giving 
time parting hand.

DEAR BRO :—The last two years have been years 
of war. The blood stained sword has apparently 
triumphed, and made our country a vale of tears. 
Oh how Ale heart throbs and beats with agony over 
this terrible carnage. God has called us to repent-
ance, with a voice of thunder ; but the world has re-
fused to be aroused. And amidst the awful scenes 
which are now passing what do we see? Tima has 
been spent in perfecting engines for the destruction 
of human life, and more ingenuity in that depart-
ment than in all the arts of peace. 0 the terrible 
guns to explode such a quantity of powder ; and such 
a weight of that as nothing can resist,are to be em-
ployed, as God permitted the Edomites, Moabites, 
and Ammorites to destroy each other while the 
Lord's people escaped unhurt, 2 Chron. 30. May 
not all this be overruled and directed to the sweeping, 
to the cleansing of his floor,the platform of his king-
dom 1—See Isaiah 66 : 15 16, to prepare the way 
to them, which they cannot well gainsay. Heel 
that I have the truth, as far as I go ; for which I 
am indebted to the blessing of God, and the Ad-
vent Herald. I have taken much satisfaction in read-
ing your explanations of different passages of Scrip- 
ture. Your brother in hope.

THE ADVEN T HERALD

From Bro. W. H. Eastman. 
DEAR BRO BLISS : I send a dollar for the Herald; 
and will endeavor to send another sow. This will 
make up for the loss of a good subscriber, who has 
left us for a happier rest. 
I see that Bro. Churchill has come to the conclu-
sion that a review of my article on the Sabhath was 
necessary. 
When we get fairly settled in our new home here 
at Grantham, we will, the Lord willing, have a lit-
tle pleasant talk through the Herald on that sub-
ject. The sleighing has been so poor up this way 
that I have not been able, as yet, to get my library 
and papers from Whitefieid, the place of my former 
el b rge. 
I would say to all the friends of the cause, that 
I am in no way disheartened, nor do I regret in the 
least the sacrifices I have made for the support of 
our blessed cause. 
I would call especial attention to Bro. Fassett's 
article in the Herald of Jan. 20. It is a stirring 
appeal in the right time.

DDAR. .iS my painful duty to inform 
you of the death of our sister, MARY EVERETT, who 
departed this life on Saturday, the 10th instant, 
after a most painful and protracted illness of many 
months. She died as she had lived, in the triumph 
of that pure faith which is a support under all 
trials. It is the request of her companion, and 
daughter that the Herald be forwarded to them the 
same. Hoping that we may all be prepared to meet 
her again in a better, happier world than this, is 
the prayer of, Your,s very respectfully, 
MRS. A. E. HOWARD. 
Pawtucket, R. I., Jan. 21, 1863. 
From Bro. Wm. P. Woodworth, 
DEAR BRO BLISS :-Mrs. Woodworth and mysell 
having just returned from a visit to Manteno, Kan-
kakee County Ill., where resides a brother-in-law 
(Mr. F.C. Brockway) whose heart has recently been 
made sad by the death of an affectionate companion 
and mother, I will give with your permission a few 
facts connected with her history and last moments, 
that may not be uninteresting to her numerous 
friends and relatives. 
CATHARiNE BROCKWAY, who departed this life on 
the 29th day of November, 1862, was the daughter 
ofDaniel and Mary Miller of Camaron County, Pa. 
She was awakened to a sense of her situation as 
a sinner, under the preaching of Elder J. D. Buyer 
and others, and in 1855 under the labors of father 
Chapman came out publicly and united with the 
little Advent church in that place. She was retired 
and unassuming, but took an active part in our 
meetings, and was an ornament to the church and 
Cause. In 1858 she was united in marriage with 
Mr. Brockway of Elk County, Pa., and about ono 
year ago they left the place of their childhood, to 
seek a home in the west, and located at the place 
above mentioned. Being in the prime of life, and 
pleased with the country, they went to works in 
earnest, to acquire a home that would be comforta-
ble and agreeable. They were prospered, and their 
propects of obtaining the desired object was fair for, 
a time ; but alas ! sickness entered the happy family. 
Before brother B.had fully recovered from a serious 
illness, his companion was attacked with Typhoid 
fever, and then quick consumption, which resulted 
in her death. 
lier affections were so wrapped up in her little 
family, that long after the doctor had pronounced 
her case hopeless, she manifested a strong hope that 
she would recover. And not until four days before 
her death did she give up that hope. During those 
four days and nights she slept hut little ; she had the 
use of her reasoning faculties all the time and talk-
ed much with all the calmness of a person about to 
set out on a long journey. 
She gave directions in regard to her household af-
fairs, made requests as to the care and culture she 
Wished her children to have, mud said to her hus-
band, “I don't want you to let the family altar go 
tiOwn." She then arranged for her grave clothes and 
funeral. On the morning of the day she expired,she 
told her husband she would stay with him till even-
1,11g) and perhaps till the next morning, but she 
IlleuKht only till evening. Late in the afternoon she 
called in her neighbors and friends, reached out her 
h
tand, and bid them farewell. The sun was just set-
In& and shone in on the wall. She exclaimed, "0 
What a beautiful sun," took leave of her little family, 
and immediately fell asleep in Jesus,without a strug-
gle, just as the sun went below the horiton. 
She left two little daughers, one only 11 months, 
and the other, two years and eight months old. 
I remain yours, brother Bliss, in the hope and 
consolation of the Gospel.

Died in Litchfield Me., Jan. 29th,1863. 
EDWIN 0, youngest son of Bro. C. H. and sister 
Roxana ROBINSON, aged 15 years 6 months. Dipheria 
-that terrible, modern scourge cut him down in a 
few short days. He was an affectionate child, gain-
ing t1a friendship of all who knew him, and of a 
mild disposition, strongly attached to his friends. 
Bro. R's house has for many years been a true house 
for the Lord's children, and Edwin always greeted 
us with a glad heart and smiling face, as we came 
to the door. But he is silent in death, and laid 
away beside several others, with whom these belov-
ed and bereaved parents have been called to part. I 
have no information concerning his state of mind 
relating to death and the future, but humbly hope 
he may be one of the lambs of God's flock, who will 
rise to dwell in the new earth. 
Bro. and sister R. and their only surviving son, 
are called to drink a bitter cup in this affliction. 
May they fully commit their cause to God, and find 
grace to endure with patience, and with a full pre-
paration to enter that better world which Jesus is 
soon to bring. 1 sympathise with this dear family, 
with whom I have been intimately associated for 
many years, and pity that the Lord may give them 
consolation in all their afflictions, and cause them 
to cherish still more strongly the blessed hope of Je-
sus soon coming to undo the work of death, and 
bring the loved ones to immortality. Nothing but 
severe sickness in my family prevented me from 
complying with their request to attend the funeral. 
which was attended by Bro. R. R. York,who preach-
ed the word of consolation, Feb. 1, to a large and 
deeply affected audience ; among whom were a large 
number of Edwin's associates and schoolmates who 
were greatly attached to him. May it be a means 
of leading some of them to repentance and a prepar-
ation to meet the Lord in peace at his coming.

Yarmouth, Me., Feb. 13, 1863. 
DEAR BRO. BLISS :-It becomes my painful duty 
to inform you of the death my beloved father, DAN-
IEL HOUGHTON, of Bradford Vt. He had been a great 
sufferer for eight weeks, when he felt asleep with_ 
out a groan on the morning of the sixteenth of Jan. 
Ele has left a widow and four children with numer-
ous relatives and friends to mourn his loss ; but 
knowing his faith and love for the truths of the Bi-
ble, which he cherished for many long years, we 
sorrow not as those without hope. He was a strong 
believer in the Advent doctrine. He looked upon 
the present war as a fulfillment of prophecy, which 
he had long studied. . We feel that it will not be 
long before we shall see our dear father where 
death will never come. 
Yours in hope.

SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS DISEASES. 
From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Orfofd, 
Mains. 
" I have sold large quantities of your SARSAPARILLA, 
but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect 
and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as our 
people try 
try it, they agree there has been no medicine like 
it before in our community." 
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ulcers, 
Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin. 
Front Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol, Eitgiuted. 
"I only do my duty to you and the public, when I add 
my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal virtues 
of your SARSAPARILLA. My daughter, aged ten, had an 
afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, 
which we were unable to cure until we tried your SAR-
SAPARILLA. She has been well for some months." 
From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well.known and much-esteemed 
lady of Dennisrille, Cape May Co., N. J. 
"My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrof-
ulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing 
afforded any relief until we tried your SARSAPARILLA, 
which Soon completely cured her.'' 
From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known firm of 
Gage, Murray, 4' Co., manufacturers of enamelled pa-
pers in Nashua, N. H. 
I had for several years a very troublesome humor in 
my face, which grew constantly worse until it disfigured 
my features and became an intolerable affliction. 1 tried 
almost everything a man could of both advice and medi-
cine, but without any relief whatever, until I took your 
SARSAPARILLA. It immediately made my face worse, 
as you told me it might for a time; but in a few weeks 
the new skin began to form under the blotches, and con-
tinued until my face is as smooth as anybody's, and 1 am 
without any symptoms of the disease that I know of. I 
enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your 
SARSAPARILLA." 
Erysipelas-General Debility-Purify the Blood. 
From Dr. Robe. Sawin, Houston St., N. Y. 
DR. AYER: I seldom fail to remove Eruptions and 
Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your SAR-
SAPARILLA. and 1 have just now cured an attack of 
Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we possess 
equals the SARSAPARILLA you have supplied to the pro-
fession as well as to the people." 
From J. E. Johnston' Esq., Wakeman, Ohio. 
"For twelve years I had the yellow Erysipelas on my 
right arm, during which time I tried all the celebrated 
physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars' 
worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the 
cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my 
arm must be amputated. I began taking your SARSA-
PARILLA. Took two bottles, and some of your PILLS. 
Together they have cured me. I am now as well and sound 
as anybody. Being in a public place, my case is known to 
everybody in this community, and excites the wonder of 
all." 
From Hon. Henry Monro, M. P. P., of Newcastle, C. W., 
a leading member of the Canadian Parliament. 
"I have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family, for 
general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very 
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it 
to the afflicted." 
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald 
Head, Sore Eyes. 
From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Tusk-
hannock Democrat, Pennsylvania. 
"Our only child, about three years of age, was attacked 
by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until 
they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which cov-
ered his face, and actually blinded bis eyes for some days. 
A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other rem-
edies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we 
guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the 
festering and corrupt wound which covered his whole 
face. Having tried every thing else we bad any hope 
from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and apply-
ing the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore 
began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and 
was well when we had finished the second. The child's 
eyelashes, which had come out, grew again and he ifi 
now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neigh-
borhood predicted that the child must die." 
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. 
From Dr. Hiram Stoat, of St. Louis, Missouri. 
"I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy 
for the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, and for syphilitic 
disease than any other we possess. The profession are in 
debted to you for some of the best medicines we have." 
From A. J. French, M. D., an eminent physician of Law- 
rence. Mass., echo is a prominent member of the Legis• 
lature of Massachusetts. 
"Da. AVER-My dear Sir: I have found your SAR-
SAPARILLA. an excellent remedy for Syphilis, both of the 
primary and secondary type, and effectual in some cases 
that were too obstinate to yield to other remedies. I do 
not know what we can employ with more certainty of 
success, where a powerful alterative is required." 
Mr. Chas. S. Van Liew, of New Brunswick, N. J., had 
dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mer-
cury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more 
aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treat-
ment that could be applied, until the persevering use of 
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA relieved him. Few cases can be 
found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it 
took several dozen bottles to cure him. 
Leucorrhcea, 'Whites, Female Weakness, 
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ulceration, 
and are very often cured by the alterative effect of this 
SARSAPARILLA. Some cases require, however, in aid 
of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful application of local

well-known and widely-celebrated Dr. Jacob 
Morrill, of Cincinnati. 
"I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alter-
ative in diseases of females. Many cases of irregularity, 
Leucorrhcea, Internal Ulceration, and local debility, aris-
ing from the scrofulous diathesis, have yielded to it, and 
there are few that do not, when its effect is properly 
aided by local treatment." 
A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, 
writes: 
"My daughter and myself have been cured of a very 
debilitating Leucorrhcea of long standing, by two bottles 
of your SARSAPARILLA." 
Rheumatism Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep-
sia Heart Disease Neuralgia, 
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured 
by this EXT. SARSAPARILLA. 
AYER'S 
CATHARTIC PILLS 
possess so many advantages over the other purga-
tives in the market, and their superior virtues are so 
universally known, that we need not do more than 
to assure the public their quality is maintained equal 
to the best it ever has been and that they may be 
depended on to do all that they have ever done.

WHITTEN'S GOLDEN SALVE is a step byway 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 humors, 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 eenibination of 
medicinalingredients for external inflammatory difficul-
ties that has ever been produced. Many of the best phy-
sicians of the variousschools irse it and also recommend it. 
Every farmer should have it for horses ; for the cure of 
scratches, sprains, chafings, &c., and also for o ire tat on 
cows. It cures felons. It cures warts.

Sunshine. 
Open wide the window, 
Lift the curtain high, 
Catch all the glorious sunshine, 
Let not a ray pass by. 
Oh, who would live in darkness, 
When all around is day? 
Welcome, bright gift to dreary earth, 
And drive all shade away, 
The flower of odor sweetest, 
And bloom of richest dye, 
Is painted by the sunbeam, 
God's artist of the sky. 
The ocean waves have rainbow hues, 
When dancing in the sun, 
And when old Sol sinks in the West, 
The bird's glad song is done. 
Without the golden sunshine, 
Earth would be dark and dreary; 
Without its light to cheer his way, 
Man's pilgrimage is weary. 
Then catch the blessed sunbeams, 
Treasures to life and home, 
From clearest sky, through rifled 
clouds, 
With health and joy they come. 
9440, 
And there's another sunlight 
The, saddened spirit needs, 
The light that comes from loving 
smiles, 
And kind and gentle deeds. 
Without it, dark is brightest day, 
Black clouds are all around, 
If cruel words or unkind acts, 
Within our homes are found. 
Then open wide the window, 
Welcome the sun of day, 
Give and receive the love-light, 
To help us on our way. 
But Heavenly Father, grant us 
Thine own Eternal Light, 
To gild our upward path to realms, 
That are forever bright. 
Christ the Children's Friend. 
perfect confidence in you, folded its weary 
wings there, what would you feel? You 
could not drive that little trembler out,with 
its poor, palpitating heart, to be devoured 
by the fierce hawk that still swept round 
over your 'head, in many a circle arid 
whoop, and with savage cry. You would 
wish heartily that all the robins in the 
world would only come to you, whenever 
a foul bird of prey chased them, that in 
your bosom they might have a safe place 
of retreat. 
Now, just as you would love to be trust-
ed by that little bird, so Jesus loves to be 
trusted by you. He sees all your danger. 
He sees the foul bird of prey that is out, 
and on the wing, and in full pursuit after 
you. He knows the thousand dangers 
that beset your path, on the right hand 
and on the left ; arid he knows that you 
must be chased down, torn in pieces, and 
devoured at last ; and He would rejoice 
if you would run to Him at once for shel-
ter. 
Christ also says, "Suffer little children 
to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for 
of such is the kingdom of Heaven." He 
would hide you in His bosom, and fold 
you lovingly to His heart. He would re-
joice over you with singing, and be ex-
ceeding glad. He would put His arm of 
everlasting strength between you and all 
your foes. All your enemies would then 
be His enemies, and every blow that was 
received by you, would also be received by 
Him. 
The good Shepherd tends his lambs very 
carefully. He gives his angels charge over 
them, to keep them in all their ways. 
Much as He loveth His sheep, yet more 
tenderly does He love his lambs. He finds 
out for them the greenest pastures, and the 
pleasantest places. He maketh them to 
lie down beside the still waters and guards 
them, and shields them from all harm and 
danger. 
0, what a blessed thing to be a little 
child, growing up to the love of Jesus ! 
He that toucheth them toucheth the apple 
of His eye. How sweet is their sleep, 
with the arms of Jesus around them. 
The Deacon and his Property. 
An aged man, Deacon S- F 
in the town of G-, was at work near 
the highway, and his little grandson F, 
was with him. A townsman, riding by, 
stopped to talk. Finally the good Deacon 
said: 
"Mr. G., I want to sell you four acres of 
land." 
Mr. G.-"What do you want to sell the 
and for ?" 
Dea. F.-"0, I have got more land than 
I need." 
Mr. G.-Are you in earnest about sell-
ing the land ?" 
"I am. And I will tell you why I wish 
to sell the land. When I began life, 1 
thought if my life was spared, and I should 
have a family, I should need about 
dollars. And I prayed that, if the Lord 
saw fit, he would give me, through my in-
dustry, that amount. Well, I have been 
prospered, I have had healtb,and brought 
up a large family, and have had the 
amount of property I prayed for, and this 
extra amount plagues me. I feel as if I 
ought to sell it, in order to do good with 
the proceeds. And I think you need the 
land." 
The little boy was much struck by the 
Deacon's reply, and caused him to ponder 
deeply on what he had heard, and event-
ually to become a Christian. 
Memory is but a producer of events. 
The Post office address of Elder Daniel Elwell,

Life is fleeting ; its joys are deceitful and tran-
sitory. 
Christ was once a little child like you. 
There is none that knows a child so well 
as He. When men and women grow up, 
they forget what they used to think and 
feel when they were children. But He 
does not forget. He kuoweth our frame. 
You would be afraid to come near a lion. 
Its fierce look and hungry roar make you 
afraid; but you are not afraid to touch a 
lamb. 
Now, though Jesus is the Lion of the 
tribe of Judah, He is also "the Lamb of 
God, that taketh away the sins of the 
world." 
Christ is also the Ancient of Days ; but 
He was the babe born at Bethlehem. You 
need not be afraid. He will not cast you 
out. You are very weak, but He is very 
strong. The strong generally love to pro- 
tect the weak. It is a very bad strong 
man that hurts any one weaker than him-
;elf. 
Even we, who are not good, love to 
protect those who are weaker than our- 
selves. If you saw a little bird,-a little 
robin, with its red breast and cheery black 
eyes,-if you saw such a bird chased by 
a fierce hawk, how your heart would beat, 
and how heartily you would wish that the 
poor little bird might escape its fierce pur- 
suer. But the little robin, after wheeling 
and doubling in vain, sees that it cannot 
escape. If, then, it flew straight to you, 
and took refuge in your breast, and with 
APPOINTMENTS.

RECEIPTS. 
UP TO THE DATE OF THIS PAPER. 
The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 1127 was the closing 
number of 1862; No. 1153 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1863; and No 1179 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 off ce 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respikting, and to send money himself, for his own paper 
thsn to send by an agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-office right, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in small 
sums, is less likely to be lost than when sent in larger oast 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage, merely 
so accommodate the one who sends.
