The Great Miller Camp Meeting In New
ark-Mr. MilIer's Sermon the Pro-
phecies OF Daniel and the Kingdoms OF
the Earth.
NEWARK, Tuesday, Nov. sth.
Great times in the Jarseys," is the remark OF
| every one you meet IN Newark, when the subject
| OF the big tent, and the Miller Camp Meeting is
talked about
new movement has been made by the Miller
ties to-day, and an entering wedge effected in the
other sects, which may yet lead to important re-
suits terrible storm of wind and rain COM
menced at two o'clock this morning, and con-
nnued Tor eight or nine hours; it blew down and
tore up two or three of the smaller tents the Camp
Ground, and so shook the large tent that it kept
some OF the brethren up all night watch it, and in
the morning they deemed il judicious to lower the
canvass to- the ground, which they did, leaving no.
thing but the bare poles and cords standing. Conse
quently there was service in that tent all day;
but this was made up for in or two ways one
was the tremendous energy exhibited in the only
praying tent left standing, which would describe,
but as your space is valuable, and Mr.. Miller
preached sermon in the afternoon IN one Of the
regular churches here, deem it more important TO
give that. On account OF the storm deranging all
the camp fres Capt. Stewart, of the old Rolf House,
kindly invited Mr.. Miller and his men, that is his
preachers, to dine with him which they accepted,
and about dozen of them sat down to as
splendid dinner they ever had in their lives
and assure you that they played a pretty good
knife and fork, Mr.. Miller taking the chair and
they did anything but eat like under sentence of
death--men who had signed their own death war
rant, selt-condemned die on the 23d of April next
After a very hearty dinner, in which they were
joined by the " old gentleman in white" described
the other day, they adjourned to one of the new
churches, Gin Clinton street, l think, which had
been handsomely rendered them for worship to-day
Mr.. Miller the preacher; his subject was the
four great Kingdoms of the earth: the Babyonian-
the Medic -Persan-the Grecian, and the Roman,
He took for his text the 18th and l4th verses of the
9Th chapter of Daniel
Then heard one saint speaking, and another saint said
unto that certain saint which spake How long shall be
the visions the daily sacrifice and trans
gressions OF desolaon to give both the sanctuary
the host to be trodden under foot
And he said unto me- Unto two thousand and three
hundred days. then shall the sanctuary be cleansed
He commenced by saying that whilst he was
Deist for IL years, he searched the Bible to try
refute it, but converted him. His mind was partial
ly led to this vision to know what it me ant, and
when the 1900 days were to end for then he knew
the day of judgment would be set and the books |
opened. In the first place, then, what was the |
vision, which one saint asked the other about p
We have it in the I'd chapter of Daniel, revealed |
to him in night vision
Thou, King. sawest, and behold great image. This
great image whose brightness excellent stood before
thee and the form thereof was terrible.
This images head of fine gold his breast and his
arms OF silver, his belly and his thighs of brass
His legs OF from his feet part of iron and part of clay
Thou sawest till that stone without hands
which smoe the image upon his feet that and
Then the iron the clay the brass the silver and
the gold broken to pieces together and became like
chat Of the summer threshing hoors and the wind
ried them away that place found for them and
the stone that smote the image became great mountain
and filled the whole earth
This is the dream and will tell the Interpretation
Thou, King king OF kings: for the God of hea.
ven hath given thee Kingdom power and strength and
And wheresoever the children of men dwell the beasts
Of the field and the fowls Of heaven hath he given into
thine hand and hath made thee ruler them all Thou
art this head of gold.
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to
another third Kingdom OF BRASS which shall bear
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong iron oras
much as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueh all things
and iron that breakeh all these shall break in pie
ces and bruise.
Now this vision was true one and as great part |
of it has been fulfilled, and as the word of God |
fails not, have to look for the fulfilmen
of the rest; and in my views of this, Brother |
Sexes and Brother Bush, of New York. agree |
with me. The daily sacrifices" of the text is the |
continual abomination exercised towards thejpeope
of God from Abel down and enforced particularly |
by Pagan Rome, and by Papal Rome down to this |
day. The " sanctuary aud the host" meant that the
family of God had to suffer sort of persecution
TILL the end OF time-the end of the 2 300 years.
Now, my friends, the religious papers of this coun-
try have published things about me that the poll |
teal papers would be ashamed to publish. They
Visions" Why, I'd cut off my right ann before I'd |
give utterance to such basphemy. Look at the |
dreams and visions fulfilled all through the Bible;
and SO on. We'll, then, Daniel had three Visions
but they all related to these four kingdoms. The |
first was in the second chapter of his prophecies
He was sent for by ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and he had |
been bred in the Babyonish school, And here / |
would remark that although at one time was very |
much in favor of our theological schools, l have |
very different opinion now. Those who go to |
them learn the Bible Of men; I'D rather son of
mine should take his Bible and go into the wilder
ness with it, with no teacher but God and his own
mind. They learn the ancient philosophy and |
scepticism and bad habits; they know nothing
when Christ comes; they learn to talk pretty
things, and dress fine, anG to tickle the ladies' Of
their congregation Qaughter), and that's about |
the amount Of it. Well, then, Daniel interpreted
bylonsh kingdom; the breast and arms was the |
kingdom OF Media and Persia the third, the brass |
belly and thighs, the Grecian, which under |
Alexander conquered all the earh and he wept that
he had no more worlds to conquer. The fourth |
was the ROmish kingdom, which in part is still ex-
isng and shall not be utterly destroyed till the stone
is cut out without hands to smite it,; and that
stone is Christ at his second coming next year, ami
after that this stone, his kingdom, shall fill the earth
Now, it Is proved that this means Chrst's second |
coming, for in the 44th verse of the I'd chapter, il
says that the last or fifth kingdom shall break in
pieces and consume all other Kingdoms, and ii shall
stand forepr. Now. the kingdom set up at Chrst's |
first coming has not consumed all the others, nor
will stand forever; therefore this must relate to
the second coming of Christ Now, this stone is to
be set up in the days of the ten toes the ten king
doms that have sprung out of pagan and papal Rome;
and II is to become mountain and fiji the whole
earth which the present kingdom cannot do. Now,
here is the second vision of Daniel in chapter 7th,
verses Sd to the l2th-
