"Well, as ] was saying, Idon't want to de-
tain the Lord Jesus, nor keep him waiting for
me, so | shall get on the ground as quick as
possible. Then | shall keep a holy fast of
forty days. When this is done, the Lord Je-
sus will be revealed from heaven, and set up
his kingdom in jerusalem. Then the day OF
reckoning will come for all The world. All
creeds will be burnt up, and judgment taken
on all priests, churches, and wicked men, and
a little while given them to repent, and II
they don't do it, Christ will destroy them all.
The Jews will all be gathered TO Jerusalem
out Of all n tons from whence they have been
driven, and all the holy dead will be raised to
live and reign with Christ; shall be his
Prime Minister, and great Prophet. This
will last 36j,000 years, end then the world
will be burnt up, or burnt Oucr, and a new
world made out Of the old one, and we shall
live on it forever and ever, even to all eternl-
ty. He'll will be in the centre of the earth,
which is nothing but fire and melted lava, and
there they will be burned forever and ever,
even to all eternity"

Well, then, I'll stay here till it comes
So the Prophet took off his cap, and put i
on the floor by his side, and taking outa peck
ct Bible, turned to the Prophecies, to read by
himself.
All this scene, thus far, seemed to me a
the time, the most ridiculous | ever beheld
but when the first novelty had passed, and
saw the poor deluded man turn to the Bible
the blessed revelation of God, and con its sa'
cred pages with that intense gaze, with which
no man looks but an honest man, it was BY
far the saddest sight | ever witnessed.

him when he reached the holy spot, where
the Saviour of men died, and on which

His health was declining evidently-he Wa
wasting away like a man with the consump
