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. rfra( rrrrrr
new movement has been made by the Miller
ties to-day, aud an entering wedge effected in the
other sects, which may yet lead to important re-
suits. A terrible storm of wind and rain COM
menced at two o'clock this morning, and con-
tinued for eight or nine hours; it blew down and
up two orihree of the smaller tents on the Camp
Ground, and so shook the large tent that il kept
some OF the brethren up all night to watch it, and in
the morning they deemed it judicious to lower the
canvass 10 the ground which they did, leaving no
thing but the bare poles and cords standing Conse-
quently there service in that tent all day
but this was made up for in one 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
preacheda sermon in the afternoon in one Of the
regular churches here, deem it more important to
give that On account OF the storm dersnging all
the camp fires. 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 pretty good
knife and fork, Mr. Miller taking the chair and
they did anything but eat like men under sentence of
death--men who had signed their own death war
rant, selcondemned die on the 2Sd of April next
After 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, Tin Clinton street, l think,) which had
been handsomely rendered them for worship to-day
Mr. Miller was the preacher; his subject was the
four great kingdoms of the earth the Babyonian-
the Medic. Persian the Grecian. and the Roman,
He took Tor his text the 18th and 18th verses of the
9Th chapter of Daniel
Then heard saint speaking and another saint said
tina. certain saint which spake How long shall be
gessons Of desolacn to give both the sanctuary and
the host to be tro1len under loot 2

hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed

vision, which one saint asked the other about p
We have it in the I'd chapter of Daniel, revealed
to him in a night vision =
Thou o King, sawest and behold great image. This
great image whose brightness excellent stood before
thee and the form thereof was terrible.
This images head was of fine gold his breast and his
arms of silver his belly and his thighs of brass.
His legs OF iron, his feet part Of iron and part OF clay
Thou sawest till that stone cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were and
clay, and brake them to pieces.
Then was the iron, the clay the brass the silver and
the gold broken to pieces together and became like the
chat of the summer threshng floors and the wind
red them away that place was found for them and
the stone that smote the image became great mountain,
and filed the whole earth.
This is the dream and will tell the Interpretation
thereof before the king
Thou, King, art king OF kings: for the God OF hea.
hath given thee kingdom power, and strength and
glory.
And wheresoever the children of dwell the beasts
the field the fowls of the 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 ngdom inferior to
hee and another third kingdom OF brass which shall bear
rule all the earth.
And the fourth Kingdom shall be strong iron foras
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, we have reason to look for the fufment
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 abomnation exercised towards thepeople
of God from Abel down and enforced particularly
by Pagan Rome, and by Papal Rome down to this
day. The Sanctuary and the host'' meant that the
family OF God had to safer some sort of persecution
till the end OF tme-the end OF the $500 years.
Now, my friends, the religious papers OF this
try have published things about me that the poll
teal papers would be ashamed to publish. They
say, g Old Father Miller depends upon dreams and
Visions" Why, I'd cut off my right ann before I'd
give utterance to such blasphemy. Look at the
dreams and visions fulfilled all through the Bible;
Pharaohs dream, the Buffers dream, Peters dream,
and so on. Well. then, Daniel had three visions,
but they all related to these four Kingdoms, The
He was sent for by ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and he had
been bred in the Babyonsh school. And here /
would remark that alt lough at one Time was very
much in favor of our theological schools, have a
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 bat God and his own
mimi They learn The ancient philosophy and
about the Bible, and they'll find that out next year
when Christ comes; they learn to talk pretty
things and dress fine, anG to tickle the ladies Of
their congregation (aushter), and that's about
the amount Of it. Well, then, Daniel Interpreted
the Kings dream. The head Of gold was the Ba-
byonish kingdom; the breast and arms was the
kingdom OF Media and Persia; the third, the brass
belly and thighs, was the Grecian, which under
Alexander conquered all the earth, and ne 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 sme it; and that
stone is Christ at his second coming next year, ami
al er that this stone, his kingdom, shall h the earth
Now, il Is proved that this means Chrst's second
coming for in the 4lth verse of the I'd chapter, it
says that the last or fifth kingdom shall break in
pieces and consume all other Kingdoms, and ii shall
stand JGrerr. Now. the kingdom set up at Christ's
first coming has not consumed all the others, nor
will il stand forever; therefore this must relate 10
the second coming OF Christ. Now, this stone is TO
be set up IN the days OF the ten toes, the ten king
doms thai have sprung out of pagan and papal Rome;
and il 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 9TH,
verses 81 to the 12ih;-
And Jour great beasts up from the sea- and diverse
one from the other.
The first was like q lion, and had eagles wings: be-
held till the eagles wings thereof plucked, and IL
