The last " Advent Herald," the organ of ihat class of nien fcnown as the "Second Advenlists," or Millerites, hasan editorial nrticle on the Urne of the Advent. The vrriter says, " tho only safe position we find is, that the Lord may come today, and must come soon." The sect seem to have no new light on the subject; for tho Editor tells his readers, " All the evidence we can find, poïnts to the months in the past : none points to he future. The fall of '46 is the lntest noint to which we can stretch the prophetic periods, and the evidence that carris them there is much weaker than thni vftfich pointed to 'he fall of '44. Yet ns we have nol reached the consummation, we knowlheir termination is in the future. As we have no valid evidence that points to any definite time, we can only live from day to day, as we shall wish we had done when the Lord shall nppear - comforting, counseling, and ex hort ing our fellow loaortals to be prepared fur the end, which 'hasteth greally." In the meantimr, the Herald is regularly published, alihoogh its receipts of late run behind the expenses $100 a month.
