New York, Sept 3O.-In the name of
the God of Heaven, Amen; I, the under
signed, servant of the Household of
Faith, in the calm exercise of sound hui
man reason, in the full realization of my
responsibility to God and man, in spirit of
anxiety not to be scorned by any who call
themselves Christians, land supported
with solid facts that no man on earth can
successfully dispute and which any schol-
ar may verify, aye, and which every hon
est scholar is now in bounden duty to en-
dorse if so be he will examine this matter
in behalf of his neighbors) and in the
furtherance of due and orderly but spe-
cial preparation therefor, do hereby an
nounce the sounding of the twelfth
stroke of the midnight hour' of the
Christian dispensation.

call upon all who serve the Living God to
arise and trim their lamps, for Behold
the Bridegroom also Cometh
Far be it from me to make such an an
nouncement without guarantees sufficient
to establish my authority before such as
will examine them, and further be it from
all to whom these presents come to mis-
understand the nature of this summons, l
am no prophet. but [ am an interpreter,
and l testify TO facts upon whose accu-
racy, all who will, may become satisfied
To this end l have la bored hitherto and
! do not hesitate to magnify my office by
every honest and legitimate method,
My aim is not to excite grOundleSS fears,
or to traffic in credulity. l am predicting
no end to the world, and no final crash of
matter; but l do declare the fastening of
all human institutions towards that uni
versal crisis which is soon to measure
every one of them against the laws OF the
only Goblin of our own ancestors
And if these human institutions shall be
found wanting at the august ASSlZe now
in our own immediate future, l solemnly
declare they will be condemned in judg-
ments, and inevitably go down without
appeal, into the abyss of all dead things
But let it also be understood that it is
no mere chapter of unaided human pro-
gress that is thus at hand 1t has indeed
its human phase whereby violated law
reaps the whirlwind of its own punish
ment, but it also has its divine and super
human accomplishments which Will awe
the world with silencel
Now that which ] declare am also able
to prove, and that which | am able to
prove can be set forth in terms intelligi-
BILE to any one who will verify the matter
at the bar of Gods word and at that of
history In outline it is as follows:

years of their full solar termination
Jerusalem, which has been ''trodden
down, - of them during this era, shall, at
the end thereof, be rebuilt upon her heaps
and He who cometh, according to His
promise, will save the tents of Judah
first.
To the Jews, therefore, do I announce
the pending termination of the Desola-
ton, and that Kodesh. the City of De-
light. shall once more be theirs, and that
the Branch shall flourish in its midst.
In the meantime the literal fulfillment
item by item of the parable of the Ten
Virgins will progress from now on in an
orderly and chronological manner, begin

now arrived.
There are twelve events now to trans
pire, in regular sequence, taking up such
lengths of time, in months and years with
a view to their necessary elovutiOn as are
ordained and although the total time is
relatively short it will be full and sufi-
Gent for the purpose, but not having one
instant to spare. They are as follows

Oil.
5th. The Wise will perfoce decline to
