sWoa, wgs, nee 70 the iaAabssaats af the
saEsh.sa5 1 say ths opening Of these foar
seals vas the commencement OF the asss
woe by taking peace from the earth.
At the opening Of the seeOad seal
there weas forth . red horse and tAs one
that sss tAereen had power given hisa 50
take peass from ne earth by the great
Iswerd thai he held. Gow, ii mast be con-
eedsd by ali learned men, tbas Joha's
Revelations arc beth literal and figara-
tive, yss the agurative part is a. much
literal a. the other whea fulfilled. TheFs-
fore I explain isshas; The red horse rep
resents bsosd the Que sitting on haaa 10 p
person, and means Pr@ideat LlsccLs.~--
f hs great swssd ss power, IN the great
numbsf OF troops and supplements Of var.
/ At the opening Of the third seal there
went forth a black horse, and him that
sat ehereoa held q pair Of balances in
ais hand. THE black horse means she in.
stisutiou Of slavery and the Segroes-the
one 90 him is person also, and means
JTrFxKsox DAVIS. The balances means
pswerA This power has astonisbed the
nations Of Europe. The black horse,
which the Abolitionists call the shack
bone," and which they say has been bro-
ken 40 oftsa since ths var began, is this
day stronger than il ever was before
But the fall meaning Of the balances is
this EnglAna forms one end and France
the other, and when they take held With
Davis, the rider OF the black horse, which
they are sure TO do, then the rider Of the
black horss, or his commander, r. E. LIE,
will have their forces under bis control
the sans as the French we're under the
oontrol OF Washington at the siege Of
Yorktown, and this explains the balances
beiug held BY the one on the black horse.
New The syents that haya followed the
speaiag Of the fosFth seal--Death On the
pale harss ani hell fsilowing, are SO ap
parent shat it needs hus little exFlaaatian.
The opening Of this seal and its effects can
be plainly seen on the numerous battle
fields. And the poweE over the fourth
part OF the earth, mesas the once United
States, &hieh srs about shs fourth part
Of The so-ealied Christian nations for
the heathen parts Of the garth do not
cone under the curse of the thres woes.
To kill With the beasts of the earth !;
means the cavalry horses and With han
ger means hereafter great famines before
these four seals shall be closed; for they
c@nnet be elossd uatil wiekedaess is
swept from from the sarth, and these are
the engines, sword, famine, and pesti-
lenee, which will do its anal work, until
the krngdoms Of this world become the
kingdom Of our Lord and His Christ who
reigns forever and sver, [Rsv. chap. II,
verse XVI
The opening Of the 9Th seal, which
mskes the number four, that was opened
in 1861, does not speak of any blood or
killing; bat Is one Of Judgment and veng-
aacs poafed oct on THE nation to n
Vsnge ths blood Of Santa aud prophsss,
and this seal is fulfilled by the three pre-
ceedlng onss, which may be denominated
bloody seals.
Having fuished the explanation Of the
four seals, for the present viii pass TO
Daniel, chap xii. Here, Daniei describes
the sans person that JohB saw on the red
horse but givas him anathsT tisla, s'ihs

by the angel Gabriel, to Daniel, thus -
