saints into their lot in the new earth.
 If it be said, the time is too short to destroy the wicked, melt the earth, burn up the works therein, and restore the earth again to that glory God designs 10 give to the in- heritance oi' his saints, ansWer-God crea- ted the hcave IS and all the hosts thereof, and the earth, with all it's animals, and man upon it, in six days, and his power is ade- quate to restore it and put his saints in pos session, in any period he chooses, however short. "For he will finish his work, and cut it short in righteousness because short work will the Lord make upon the earth" 1 there can be no reason assigned why the Lord should be even 40 days in destroying the wicked out of the earth. True, he gave 40 days to the food, but then mon perhaps, might repent. and find mercy to eternal life, though they must die by the flood but when the saints are taken up, the door of mercy is shut, anc there is no hope for those left behind and why may we not suppose it will be as it was in the days Lot, as well as that it will be as it was in the days of Noah The same day that Lot went out of of Sod. om, it rained fire and birthstone from heav- en and destroyed them all and our Savior l adds, Even thus shall it be in the day when l the Son of Man is revealed" See Luke l7 | 29-30.
 l If all the periods spoken of in this comnnu- nication, should pass by without bringing the | event, with my present light, could fix upon l no others, but should wait in constant expec- 1 ta,ion of the revelation ofthe Lord Jesus, as 1 can have no doubt but that all the signs have taken place that the Lord has given Us 1 to precede that event but do not believe the event will pass by all the periods above mentioned and my faith is daily increasing, that our Lord will speedily appear.

 4 Breacl cf promise case is thus reported by the Boston Merchantle Journal: ] Another trial took place at the same term, which excites interest. It was an action brought by fair damsel, Hannah Curtis, by name, against Benjamin Baker. for breach of promise of marriage.
