Another Witness.
A friend has just shown us an extract from a book
called " Heaven Opened," by Alfred Addis, B. A., of
Trinity College, Cambridge, England; published by Rob
ins, London, 1829.
The writer had probably never heard of Mr. Miller, yet
he argues from prophectic periods, that " the abomination
will cease, or the sanctuary be cleansed," in 1843.
STILL ANOTHER WITNESS.
A friend has just lent us a book, of 578 pa^ es, entitled,
" The SECOND ADVENT ; or, Coming of the Messiah in
Glory, shown to be a Scripture Doctrine, and taught by
Divine Revelation from the beginning of the World.
By an American Layman." It was published in Trenton,
N. J , in 1815. The author was led to examine the sub
ject by the stirring events of the French Revolution, and
especially the taking away of the PapU dominion in 1798.
The following is an exact copy of the hymn, which closes
the book. It is not perfect poetry, but is valuable, as
showing how Bible students then regarded the signs of
the times. The writer, evidently, believed he was living
in *' the time of the end," so frequently referred to in
Daniel We believe the same :
To you it is spoken, ye virgins be watchful,
And strengthen the things, that are ready to die ;
Four loins still be girded, and be ye found faithful,
For see all around you proclaim He is nigh.
OHallelujah ! Hallelujah! Hailelu ! Hallelu! Hallelujah !
Now tumult and uproar ; commotions are making,
Kingdoms against kingdoms, dire slaughter prepare ;
The powers ordained of Heaven are shaking,
And men's anxious bosoms are troubled with fear.
0 Hallelujah ! & c.
Great Babel of Rome, firmly seated on her throne,
Long said in her heart, as a queen I shall reign ;
Her merchants afar off, her sad fate now bemoan,
And gnawing their tongues, cry alas 1 for her slain.
0Hallelujah! & c.
The kings she once ruled, and nations forsake her.
Bereaved of her children and robb'd of her hire ;
The wealth and the treasure she heaped together,
Now serve to consume her, and bum her with fire.
O Hallelujah ! & c.
The blood of the martyrs and saints is found in her,
The cup that she filled, she drinks now in her turn ;
Ye Heavens, Apostles, and Prophets shout o'er her,
O queen of great Babel! ' tis yours now to mourn.
O Hallelujah & c.
Her plagues and her sorrows, shall never be healed,
Her violence to Zion the Lord will repay,
In fire, to consume her. He'll soon be revealed,
The smoke of her torment shall rise up for aye,
O Hallelujah! & c.
Then let all her lovers, with trembling be taken,
The children of Zion have nothing to fear ;
They seek fora kingdom that cannot be shaken,
Their treasure, their hope, their protector is there.
0Hallelujah! & c.
Letter from Krother Liteii.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7, 1842.
Dear Bro. Sputhard, As I have a little leisure this
morning, I sit down to give a brief account of the state
of things in this city, on the great subject of the SeconJ
Advent. Brother Hale and myself, a3 you know, left
New- York on Saturday, Nov. 29, for Newark, where we
had a lecture in the Halsey Street M. E. Church. The
Spirit of God was manifestly present to accompany the
word to the hearts of the people, and a most deep feeling
pervaded the assembly. The effect of the Second Ad
vent lectures in that place is glorious, both, on the pro
fessing church and the unconverted. But still the oppo
sition is strong, and comes, too, from a souree^ where we
should expect better things.
The next day we took the cars for the city of brother
ly love, for the purpose of fulfilling some engagements made
while here in the former part of the month. Thursday
we succeeded in making an arrangement for a deposito
ry for our publications, at 67 South Second street, in the
store of Brother O. Rogers, the late publisher of the
" Literalist," and as such, cannot go with us on the
Jewish question, nor does he go with us on the time, yet
he believes the Lord is soon to come personally and reign
on the earth; and that the midnight cry should be
sounded.
The doctrine is spreading here more or less in most of
the different churches ; and as the fruit of it the opposi
tion is beginning to develope itself. Several ministers
are now out upon us. The ministry in the city are very
generally hostile to the discussion of the question in
their churches; but the people want light and mean to
have it; and we mean, by the grace of God, that they
shall have it » We commenced a course of lectures in the
Methodist Protestant Church in Kensington, the north
east part of the city, which continues this week. The
pastor of the church, although not a believer, has received
us most cordially, and takes hold and labors to bring sin
ners to Christ. The Lord accompanies the effort with
his blessing.
Last evening I began a course of lectures in the West
ern M. E. Church in this city, to continue this week.
We have also two or three invitations to lecture before
some of the Literary Institutions of the city. Finally,
the way is opening before us as fast as we can fill up the
appointments. We feel that the work is of God, and he
will carry it on in his own way. But when we thiuk that
we are within one month of ' 43, and such multitudes
are unsaved, we tremble for them.
Yours, J. LITCH.
