THE MTLLERITEs-TEE END OF TIE WORLD.
Every reader Of the newspapers has of
course heard of Mr.. Miller, who has been
'"r about half "a dozen years, in different
parts OF the country, preaching that the
world IS I" come TO an end in 1913. II
may be matter Of curiosity to present a
synopsis Of the system Of faith, adopted by
Miller and his followers. The Essex
(Mhss:( Banner thus sums it up: .T
=, lhey believe, or profess TO believe.
'ha' The end Of all things will come in lit
'ls more than year from this time: that
Ch''st will then come in the ciouAs Of
heaven 'eI1 with power and great glory: that
''e viii then raise the righteous dead and
change tho righteous living, who shall as
ce"d up together TO meet him in the air.
In The meantime, fire shall come down
from the Lord to burn up the wicked. and
refine and modify the whole matter of this .
material universe so as to prepare and fit it
up into a new heavens and new earth.-
This being done, The Saviour with all his
rans"med people, shall come, down aud
take possession of this new place Of resi-.
deuce, wherein dwellesh Righteousness. and
consi'He to- occupy it without molesss,ion
for al least thousand years. This state
"i things is What The new sect in question

so what they understand by the setting ND
Of kingdom by the God of Heayep. as
mentioned in the second chapter Of Dam +
lel. At the expiration of thousand years
from the commencement Of this state of
things, they believe that a sort Of SECOND
judgment will take place, and a uaoro for
NAL and decisive destruction will come u,,- =
on the wicked. By Cog and Me0og.
mentioned in the 2Oth chapter Of Reveia-
tons, they understand the wicked-a!l the
wicked, whose bodies, by the way, we're
borned up a thousand years before, when 4,
the earth was refined by fire. q These i
wicked, Cog aud Magog, will then be rais- (,
