great day was at nand, and he believed that they
would best promote the love of God by avoiding all
irritating .opcs. He looked with admiration In
common with all the brethren to the proceedings OF
this convention. There was, however, one subject
connected with 1t which engrossed his thoughts;
1t was laid before the public last year, in a
work which he wrote. In that work he discovered
some errors, and he was now happy to point out
those errors, and to show that he had discovered
and was prepared to prove, the precise year OF the
crucifxion and he was also fully prepared to prove
expire on or before the ed day Of July next; and
feeling the vast importance Of this subject, he VEN
tured to make those remarks before the Convention
and begged that he might be spared one half hour
before they adjourned to lay those proofs before the
| Convention.
| Mr. NEEpHAM, of Providence, said he wanted
everything to 60 to nothing that was not of God.
lie wished-indeed he prrayedIfor dissolution Of
was with them, because their hearts were bound in
harmony and love, and they walked in love and
in harmony. lie believed that the spirit Of despot-
broken up. The Advent people that had broken
loose from the churches, they were sorey oppressed
and in order to avoid that distraction, many Of
the brethren have erred; but a reaction is now
taking place, and he thought that all were now
going back to reason, and finally settling down
into state where men can love each other, al
though differing in opinion.
Brother MARS said that Worcester was place
of some importance in regard to the Second Advent
the interest among the brethren is much better
than it had been heretofore. In consequence Of
the controversial discussion lately had between
Of the brethren and the univeTsaGsts, many infu-
entail men have Joined them. Two very respecta-
bic physicians have joined them, and some very re-
spectacle families have also come out from the
most popular and orthodox church in the places
and if the people of God continue to do their duty
they will exert a great influence mankind
because truth is mighty, and will prevail. Amen.
Brother BouTELI., from Massachusetts, said he
only asked the privilege of thinking and letting
Others think. lie held TO free expression of mans
opinion. The truth belongs to their master, and
it ought to be spoken out. Talk about Christians
without truth! you might well talk of smoke
without fire as talk Of Christian without truth.
Let brothers 60 along and tell what they believe,
and compare what they do believe, and they will
love each other. (Amen) lie could not believe
that they had any Christianity amongst them, who
did not sIeak out the truth, because truth always
harmonizes with itself. He thanked God he had
learned something within the last fifteen years. He
had travelled within that time among the hills Of
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, and be was
glad that they had thrown by iron bedsteads in
those regions; in fact, they had outgrown them
(Amen.) The old devil is going to be destroyed,
and all his works, and clean sweep is to be made
oft.
Mrs. De LAvAIIER said her light was not to be
hid under bushel. When she heard people say
"don't say this, don't do that she felt indig-
nant but she meant to tell the truth, and say, with
her beloved brother Paul, 81 will testify to the
truth" But the great herald of peace is at hand.
She was lover of peace /; although war has often
been declared against her, still she goes for peace
She was often angry; but it is with the devil she
was angry.
Brother BRADLEY from Connecticut, said he felt
very much edited by this Convention. lie rejoced
in his soul at the union Of spirit he witnessed here
to-day. There was one point to which they would
all come at least, and that was-to full knowledge
Of the love Of God and the union of spirit in the
bond Of peace. The Bible full of these noble
things, and he was rejoced to see SO many Of them
brought out to-day. And many things that now
stand between men, when Jesus comes he will sweep
them all away Let US put on the wedding gar
ment for the coming of our King. (Amen.)
Mr.. THOMAS rose and said there would be camp

next, where every member could speak his sent.

state that it would be free of expense to the breth
and sisters.
The meeting then adjourned to nine o'clock this
