END OF THE WORLD. A Rev. Mr..
Miller has been land we believe still isl
preaching in some paris of Massachusetts,
and declaring his conviction. as the result
OF close calculation, that this world is TO
come to an end in about four years from
this time. Some of the papers have re-
Gently stated that he had discovered an er-

placed the time farther ahead; but Mr.
Miller contradicts the report, and says he

right, and that we shall see Christ com

TURKEY. Sabbath evening last, we
heard discourse in the Spring street
church, from Rev. Eli Smith, who has
spent the last thirteen years as a mission
airy in Beyroot, and the adjacent country.
He represents the political changes, in
Turkey, as having been so very great
within few years, that the facilities for
the spread of the Gospel are very much
increased among the followers of the false
prophet. The Mahommedan power
seems TO be well nigh annihiIated, and the
time has fully come when Christians
should be prepared to supply that benight-
ed country with the preaching OF the Cos
