	He has not attempted to fortify any of his positions against the attacks of infidelity, but has addressed his reasonings, and arguments, to the moral sense of a professing christian community. He admits that most men profess to believe the bible, and yet asserts, that no man ever yet believed it without believeing and expecting that great and glorious events are to transpire in the last days. On the same page where we find this idea, he hazards an opinion that a believer in the bible, would be something, which very few men have ever seen, in this generation with all its boasted religion. We presume our anthor [author], in this last assertion, means, to speak comparitively, for we have no doubt, he believes in the literal fulfilment of the prophecies as much as in the events that have already transpired, and are numbered among things that have been. It is truly, as he has said, a great disgrace not to believe the bible, but it is surely a greater one, to believe in its literal fulfilment, or that the great things therin recorded as predictions, will surely come to pass. He attributes the persecution he has received, and still receives, to his firm belief and diligent teaching, the plain legitimate meaning of the scriptures.

	In the second chapter, of which we are now speaking, he treats of the gathering of Israel, and cites some of the more prominent passages, on the subject, from among the different ancient prophets, in a way that it would seem that one must be deaf to the voice of reason and common sense, not to conclude, that Israel is yet to be gathered. Connected with this subject, is that of revelation, miracles and the gifts of the gospel, under the renewal of the covenant; and the confering of the priesthood, the only proper authority, through which spiritual gifts are received and conferred. He treats the idea as a preposterous one, that the great events that are to transpire, will ever transpire, without miracles, signs and wonders, therefore, the creeds, crafts, and doctrines of men will utterly fail.

	Every period of man's existence is marked with some event differing from others of his life, and peculiar to itself and to the time and circnmstance [circumstance] under which it occurred. The little minutiæ of a man's life, however unimportant to others, constitute links in the chain of events, that in the divine mind, stamp him with infamy, or fix on him the seal of apdrobation [approbation]. Man in the private walks of life may pursue the paths of virtue and peace, worship the God who made him in sincerity and truth, go down to the grave in peace, and almost unknown, and his posterity rise up and call him blessed. But not so the man that takes upon him the conducting of a public periodical, however innocent, however pure he may be. His motives are scanned, his intentions sometimes perverted and his virtues assailed, but in the main he has little cause of complaint. He will be censured, perhaps, when he least deserves it in his own estimation, and praised when he merits rebuke: but there is one other consideration that detracts from the sympathy which at first view he seems to merit: He, by his voluntary consent has placed himself before the public and submitted his happiness to the caprice of a multitude of individuals, each and every one of whom, he could never hope to please.

	The editorial charge of the Messenger and Advocate has rested more or less on us for a period of sixteen months past, but nominally it has rested solely on us, but eight months. It is useless to say we entered with diffidence and distrust of our own abilities, upon the duties of the station we now resign.

It is useless to say we entered with diffidence and distrust of our own abilities, upon the duties of the station we now resign.

	Although our head began to be silvered o'er with age, we had not the benefit of experience like some of our poedecessors [predecessors], in this employment.-The little talent we possessed, had been cultivated for one of the liberal professions, to know the vis medica trix naturæ, and learn the modus operandi of materia medica on the human system. Therefore under circumstances thus unpropitious, we now resign our charge with as little censure, and less regret, than we could have reasonably hoped we should when we assumed the important trust.
