s6ed and pleased to return to the old paths and
abids in the faith as they first received it, viii prove
them selves to be good Christian people, worthy Of
ali confidence, respect and affection But those
who Qubble-who look out for another day, or
who continue TO cry, the vision tarries,-he end,
after all, is very near,'-such persons will be
known, and marked, throughout the community as
viIllll aud confirmed fanatics. Our confidence IN
sucn will be completely and forever destroyed
They will be set down as incorrigibIe cascade
manding either pity or censure, but IN no case
Christian confidence and respect.
This last phase of Mllerism will thus prove to
be- in one way, blessing to the churches. 1t Will
contribute essentially TO their publication. Let
those who have been led into this error by their re-
ligious sympathies, and who are ready to acknowl-
edge be most cordially restored to fellowship and
favor. There are thousands who have been called
sMillerites,' who have not lost their integrity or
their ability to be useful They are yet the salt OF
the earth, and retain their SAVIOR. To such we
would appeal most afectionately, urging them to
break over the pride of opinion, and re-assume
their true position in society and in the church OF
Christ.
Brother Hmes."-A correspondent has fur
nished us with some facts illustrating the selfish
ness Of the leaders of the second adyentlsts. The
wife ofan aged colored man has given $1,000 to the
cause, aud left her family poor. A grocer on
Pleasant
way, and carpenter on the fremont road gave a
like amount-al he had. Hines, it is sad has
disposed of considerable quantities Of old jewelry
and silver" contributions different stores in
the city where ey deal in such articles. Several
women who kept boarding houses have been lndu-
ced 10 dismiss their former dodgers and take IN Sec
ond aaventss free Of cost land have thereby greatly
embarrassed, if not completely ruined themselves,
! in pecunary point of view. It is said that Hines
! preached somewhere in the city last Sunday: but
/ he and his followers very secret about their
/ place of meeting, The public indignation is SO
much excited against Hines that we think it would
not be prudent for him to give general notice OF
| his rnovements.-BoSt0n Post, Saturday.
! .1fF2lcyisnn Disagc,ced On Tuesday evening in
the Millerite church, of Chrystie and Delaney
sts Mr.. Storrs publicly recanted his folly and mad
ness in the matter of the second advent. He SAID,
what indeed others besides his congregation had al
| ready found out he was deceived as to the day OF
Tie second advent. He had been led away by the
! excitement and deceived by mcsnlerisnI and now
most pentently acknowledged his manifold sins and
wckedness. He now cxhorted them to stick to work,
&c.
Hines next took the stand in the confessional,
and forgetting, we presume, that he had been both
the deceived and the deceVer, rated the people pref
f. harshlv for their infatuation, and urged them all
to 90 home and 20 to work, and stepped down from
the rosrum. Sorrs also acknowledged his error II
the Midnight Cry, but we done remember seeing
any thing about nsesmcaism
2 The following is one of the miracles related by
the Millertes. 1t is taken from the Midnight Cry
In the town of Plymouth, Conn. at the house Of
brother Atwater, in social meeting, brother lost
his strength-lay PROSTATE on the floor before the
fire. The fire was not burning up, but there was
good bed of Goals The tops Of the androns were Sc
hot no one could bear their hands on them. A:
he lay directly before the fire, without moving hi
body, he seem drawn by an unseen power directl.
into the fire. His head and shoulders were PLANTED
directly in this bed of Goals His head went bacl
to the back Of the chimney; he lay in this situation
for about half an hour. While there, one or tw'
came up and examined him. and found that Got
had taken the matter into his own hand, and did no
interfere. While there, the Goals presented the ap
pearance of being blown upon by abelows-spark
were flying around his head-the andirons, agains
5 which his cheek lay was hot enough TO hiss. AT
ter wing there for the space specified he wasdraw

was singed, or even the smell of fire upon him
