    and expectations . The translation of the Bible into almost all the languages of the earth , and the diffusion of it among its various inhabitants , which is now carrying on with increasing rapidity , is uteo the most

    rational and probable means of eonverting the Heathen , and of restoring the professors of a corrupted Christianity to its genuine doctrines and practice . But it is Unitarian Christianity , and that only , which can do this . Both the Jew and the

    Mahomedan must continue to believe that " the Lord their God is one Lord" that " the Lord is One and his name One" ! Let the professors , then , of this pure faith rouse themselves * and prepare for the great work which is given them to do . Our numbers are increasing , and our zeal , 1 trust , still more

    rapidly rising to meet the glorious era which approaches . Light has most unexpectedly burst forth from that cloud of dark bigotry , superstition and uneharitableness , which so lately enveloped the University of Geneva ; it is spreading from thence , and from

    the neighbouring seminary of the excellent Fellenberg ; from vvherfce other teachers and Christiau philanthropists like himself will , I trust , go forth into the world , and even princes

    filled with a glorious enthusiasm for the benefit of their fellow-men , their Christian brethren , will carry the pure flame of genuine gospel truth into their respective territories !

    Little as to the eye of reason is the difference between sleeping * in the grave for millions of ages , or for a short and definite time , —as either will appear but as a moment , and with eternity before us when we awake , there can be no regret for the time

    passed over in u stale of' i ( isensi < biiit . y ; > et there is something peculiarly animating and delightful in the idea that " the time is at hand , " which w ;\ s celebrated in songs of grateful triumph in ages long gone by , and the distant view of which rilled the hearts

    of those whom God empowered to foresee future events , with rapturous joy and thankfulness . Should these heart-enlivening expectations be realized , the Jews and Mahomedans will be joined to Christ in the course of the present century ; and with so vast an accession of strength , both in point of evidence , numbers and zeal ,

    can it be thought improbable , that in the progress of another hundred years the whole Heathen world will follow ; and when that period is completed , that " the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord , even as the waters cover the sea"" \

    and " they shall not teach every man his neighbour , saying , * know the Lord , ' for all shall know him , from the least to the greatest "! 1 am tempted to go one step farther . The next century will , according to our reckonings , conclude the

    6 , 000 years of the world , and the seventh has been always considered and looked to as the promised Millenium , the reign of Christ upon earth , which is to be completed before the general resurrection . " The dead in Christ shall rise first . " 1 Thess . iv . 16 . They " who are Christ's , will be

    made alive at his coming . " 1 Cor . xv . 23 . Those * ' who have not worshiped the beast , neither his image , neither have received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands , " will " live and reign with Christ a thousand years . But the rest of the dead live not again until the thousand years are finished . This is the first

    resurrection . Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection . " i shall be highly gratified , Mr . Editor , if any of your learned and ingenious Correspondents will give to the public through the medium of your interesting Miscellany , their sentiments upon the subject of this paper .

    V ( j ^ O what was said of Brett * s Nar-JL rative of the Proceedings of a great Council of . Jews , ( p . 136 , ) it should be added , that the tract is

    reprinted as an Appendix to the Bishop of Clogher ' s ( Clayton ) Dissertation on Prophecy , 8 vo . London , 1749 . The Bishop received the Narrative as authentic . Like some of our Correspondents , the Bishop interpreted prophecy and particularly the book of Revelation , of passing events . He

    fixes the year of our era 2 , 000 for the coming of Christ . Before that period * Popery is to be overthrown , and the fall of the spiritual Babylon to be succeeded by the conversion of the Jews and the preparation of the Gentiles for the reception of the visible appearance and manifestation of the
