We must now leave Louis Napoleon 10
settle these boundaries according to his own
liking, whilst we urn our attention to
three most important events which occur
in quick succession after the power of Ma
poleon is consolidated, but before his SD.
pearsnce at Autichrist- These events are 4:
LIST. The resurrection of the Just immedi.
stely on the expiration of the six thousand
years of the world. 2d. The destruction
&c D. n MI ----Is- -
saints.
According 20 my chronology, the six
thousand years of the world expire on the
9Th of December, 1874; the resurrection,
therefore, ot the dead just will take place
on that day We shall not see this r sur.
%rection, and therefore we shall never know
in this life whether such is precisely the
case or not We know, however, that
there will be two stages of the resurrection;
at least such is my opinion of the word of
st. Paul. y
II, as some hold, the living shall actually
see the resurrection of the just, Wa shall
then have positive proof. l do not think
We shall do so, and therefore | do not ex-
pect my opinion can ever be proved right,
nor can it ever be proved wroLg. l merely
state my belief that the dead in christ +"
will rise before daylight on the 9th of De-.
cember, 1874.
Daniel says, "Blessed is he that wsiteth
and cometh to the thousand three hundred
and five and thirty days" Ny explana.
lion of this verse, on the year day princi.
pie, has already been given but, like the
other dates, it must, on the literal dsV prin-
ciple, be calculated back from the 2Olh of
september, 1878, and we come to the even
ing of the oath of January, 1875. Ga the
night of the oath of January, 1875 prob
abby some little time before dawn (Jerusa-
lem timeG will take place the translation
of the saints. L say before dawn because
l believe that the resurrection of tie dead
and the translation of the saints will occur
At the same hour rs Christ's resurrection
and because we are told that the first step
of Christ's coming will be as g thief in the
night and that it was st midnight that the
cry arose, "Behold the Bridegroom cometh,"
and hesppesrs to come some where between
midnight and daylight
AS 1 do not believe in q visible resur-
rection so l do not believe in a visible
translation. The wise virgins will vanish
at n moment simultaneously, in The
tWinkling of an eye, as the dead have
risen. One of US shall be taken, another
left; and those who are left will sleep on
in perfect unconsclousness of the dissp-
pesrsnce of their dearest relation aud
friends. A few possibly may be watching,
and may perceive that ons of their party
has sudden vanished, but to US g nerully
in this hemisphere the translation will for
the moment be unknown. In the other
hemisphere, however, this great spiritual
sign of the Son of Man may be more oman.

the field, two women shall be grinding at
the mill, and one shall be taken and The
other left. They will not, however, see any
ascension, they will only see tia sudden
disappearance of the body; and since it
will be midday then in tue centre of the
Pacific Ocean, very few of the jewellers on
earth will see nYtbing-those few being
residents in Kew Zealand and Aus.

THE EHGLIsH TO CAPTURE PARIS.
The instruments in Gods hand for the
destruction of Paris appear to be the Eng
lish, the only nation which shall get the
over the beast; for "The shield of
his mighty men is made red, the valiant
men are in scarlet" The taking of Paris
