Away back in the days when Miller
was preaching the near end of the
world there were two men living in
Lawrenceville. neighbors, who may be
named Brown and Jones, who were like
unto Jonathan and David. Jones was a
chicken fancier Both, like most peo-
pie in that day, discussed Millerism.
One Saturday night Brown, who had
read somewhere that if pointed
stick were dipped in oil anything writ
ten with it on an egg and with the egg
held to the fire the writing would re-
main indelible. Brown wrote on an
egg "The world will come to an end on
October 20, 1874" the day Miller had
stated, and placed the egg in one of
Jones nests, expecting Jones would
come to him as soon as he found it and
after good laugh he would tell how
it was done.
But Jones, as soon as he could get his
clothes on, rushed to the home of Rev.
Richard Lea. The news spread like
wildfire and persons coming to town to
church carried it and all Sunday there
was a throng calling on Jones to see
the egg. Brown viewed the crowd with
much troubled mind and at last he
went to Jones and told the story New
er after that did Jones speak to Brown.
