THE MILLER DELUSIUN

most deplorabie results. Many Of them und er the
impression that the world will be destroyed the

have come under our observation. We passed on

affairs OF this life, IN the confident expectation Of The

bringing with them children and infants with lust

The person IN the store said that he could not afford
TO give their zeal value for them, and advised her not
TO sell them. She persisted saying that her children
would starve Otherwise and that she ony required
means TO get along until the ODD The slvenmith
asked for an explanation, when the woman said that
her husband was Millerile and had LEFT her for the
purpose OF preaching TO the benighied in the coun-
ry-she also vas Millerite, and believed that she
would not require funds sfer the 23d. In brief she
was monomanisc. In another case a man gave %
