GABRIEL'S TRUMP.
Forty Thousand Second AdVeltiStS EX-
peCt the End Of the World To-Day.
FulfiIment of the Fourth Prophecy
of Revelations Confidently
Predicted.
Angelic Phenomena to BE Looked fol-
at Sunrise To-Morrow.

This is the day on which Gabriel was to blow
the last trump and the faithful were to be trans
lated.
but the most intent listeners did not catch
even the faintcst'no;e of the angels horn. and
now, according to ~eXpoundcrs of the Second
Advent faith, We must wait until tom prov
morning, aud then, az has been reasoned out
from the prophecies, even the latest stay-a-bed
will see, when he does turu out, the sun Jutt
%peeping above the eastern horizon. There 1t
will remain stationary all day, and on itS upper
and visible arc will appear, reaching back into
all illimitable vista, all angelic host.
In the midst OF this host, we are told, will be
"a woman, clothed, with the sun and the moon
under her feet and upon her head a crown OF
twelve stars.
Then the seven angels will sound the seven
t%rutnpets in the corners of the earth, and the
third woe predicted in the Book OF lievela-
tions will begin IT. tnlhlment.
Such IL the firm belief of n majority OF the
80, 900 members OF the Church OF the Second
Advent Ill America, of which denomination
there are two congregations iii Brook .yl.
Those whose memories extend back to l843,
when William Miller, u magnetic, though n rude,
unlet,ered philosopher, convinced hK thousSnds
OF followers that the world would come to an
end Oct. 10, will recall that he demonatratcd II

t~anatical ones gave away their property on the
score that they would have no use Tor 1t after
the second coming of the Messiah.
Some of these long memories recall that the
world kept right on III the even tenor OF Its way
on the 10th Oh October OF that year, and that
William Muller had II hard time OF II, when
things settled down again, aud his followers
found that they had, i'll their reliance upon his
words, given away the results Of long years OF
saving.
Miller then fixed the end of the world for Oct.
10, 1874, and explained that the changes III
the calendar and the difference between jewish
and Roman time had confused him OH his calcu-
latiOns:
Gabriel must have oversight on the second oc-
casion, for the end failed to arrive and the Adj
yentIsts lost faith i'll Prophet Miller. He died
in lS49. leaving as u result of his final ca!cula-
tions a prophecy that the Lords appearance
would take place in 1857.
The financial panic of that, wear and other
Gruesome occurrences made the believers still
more faithful, taking these events to be omens.
Disappointed, they. prepared for translation
again III 1867 and still again in 1879.
Since the latter date the prophetic calculatorS
of the Second Advent Church have figured and
ciph5TGa and they had settled it Ia, their own
satisfaction that the millennium would come on
the seventh day of the tenth month" Of 1889.
which. according. to their calculations, would
fall between the 10th and 26th OF October, by
the present method of computing time.
