Discourse by ssNIessenger,, Snow ON the
/ssTime and Manner OF the Judgment"
Bishop snow preached yesterday afternoon, at
three O'Clock, in the University, on the Time and
Manner OF the Judgment His text was Daniel
viii, 10, l4'Then heard one saint speaking, and
another saint said to that certain saint who was
speaking, How long the vision, the daily and
the transgrcssion Of desolation, to give both
the sanctuary and the Host to be trodden under
foota And he said to me, Until two thousand
and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be ceanscd." 1t is perfectly evident
from reading tis question and the answer that the
time named Is the length OF the whole vision which
the prophet had 1,t seen or the ram ana tne ne
ceeding great by reading the verses that follow it
win be seen that Gabriel the angel OF GOD, was
manded TO expound the VISION to Daniel. He there
fore informs him thai the ram with two horns sign
es the kings VI Media and Persia, and the goat the
kingdom OF Gfeca or Greece. The four horns that
from the head OF the Grecian goat declared
to be four Kingdoms These were Egypt Syria,
Ihrace and Maeedon To the last Of these belonged
the west, out OF which arose the Roman empire
pagan and papal; and this was sgnined Dy the ex-
ceeling great hOrn--a power which was to stand
up against n5 the Prince Gen., oi princes that is,

see that Persia Greece and Rome are embraced IN
the vision. Consequently the two thousand three
hundred days must be understood as meaning
years aud as reaching 10 the great day OF the ro-
