On September II. lsis. nearly half
century ago. We published In the I'm.
PUBLICAN q notice OF an address made
by Father Miller, In which he admits
his mistake In predicting the end Of
the world. H asks pardon for his in
discretion and errors, AMI concludes
by saying he lett the work OF spread
Ing truth In ADLER hands. As his pre-
dictlons led many persons to make
great sacrifices and endure great sui
fering, the prophets coming changes
in the moral and physical condition Of
the people. should learn wisdom.
Heretofore. all calculations In regard
to the second coming Of Christ, or
the closing OF certain eras. may very
forclbly remind us OF the "bllnd lead
ing the blind. and both falling into
the ditch togethsIi" For 1890 years
certain persons have been anxlons In
regard to the coming OF the end OF
the world, and yet the sun continues
to shine with all its pristine fervor,
and there il no more Sign OF the dts
bOlulibh Va WIS Sthoio thuaa
there were in the days OF Pharoah.
Let all therefore possess thor souls
In patience. and perform their duties
faithfully, as 1t 10 altogether likely
that they will pass away as their faith
ers and mothers have done. and thou.
sand more generations most probably
shall do, before Gabrlels trump shall
sound, announcing the coming OF Him
who shall judge this quick aud the
dead and declare that time shall be no
more. Let all do their duty. taking
no heed Of the morrow, and while la
boring to maze others wiser and bet
ter. leave the future to Hitp who holds
the winds in His list and the water Ii
the hollow of his hands and will do.
as we are taught to believe. all things
for the good OF our race and the pro
