One night, while Illuminating much on the
evils that were common 10 or acquired by
men, fell into sleep, and in the revery OF
my imagination was carried away TO the
horrible regions oil The pit. ! saw Satan
he was evidently in great agitation about
his dominions, and summoned a council ol
all the demons TO meet in the great hall Of
Pandemonium, and in moment they were
all there. Salan was seated on throne as
black as ebony, and The blue flames Of sui
phur rolled from his noslrs, his counten'
ance was worn with woe; and with detection
bordering on despair, he thus addressed the
council:
"Mo st Noble Potenfates, partaksrS Of m1
tolls, my suferings and my hOnors:
ali is but right you should know the
things pertaining 10 my kingdom; you shall
hear them now. Emanuel is rallyng hi;
forces AND making tremendous push at al
our strong holds; our provinces on earth are
falling one after another into his hands.
"That dbominable infection, the mission
ary plague, is overspreading the nalion.-
Cary. Judson, Thomas, and others, have
gone 10 Asia; many more are preparing lc
start. Cox, Seys and Pinney have gone &c
Africa; others have gone 10 the South Sea
Islands; and the Indians Of that hated land
called America are turning away from Iol
lowing our teaching, and are singing the
praises Of and praying to my hated anc
hateful enemy.
"There is that mscreant Hughs--yot

province OF the United STATES that Unior
National Bible Society would be an excel
lent expedent 10 weaken my cause. The
thing will be sure 10 succeed--and you will

peddled and given away in my lawful do

my subjects.
emmanuel lately told one Bob Rakes II

ranks Of Emmanuel are The hardest OF al
