,preliminary ,remarks        ,attentive 
readers will find superabundance of     
signs or credentials  testifying the    
mission of every one who comprehends    
this book and acts  with us for the     

accomplishment of the great promise1 if 
they peruse the  whole book as often as 
necessary for a full understanding of   
each event  mentioned herein in         
connexion with the whole4 ,from this    
connection of  events it is evident1    
that in collisions in to which we have  
come with  our opposers during the      
performance of the duties of our        
mission1 we  were under the direction of
 those invisible guardians who are      
labouring  to introduce the promised new
 era of ,truth and ,righteousness1 while
 our  opposers were endeavouring to     
support the existing systems of delusion
  and iniquity1 and that spirits of all 
spheres1 heavenly angels as well  as    
infernal demons1 give testimony to our  
mission1 spirits of each  sphere in such
 a manner as is most suitable to their  
sphere4 ,by the  developments made in   
this book the secret enemies of true    
,republicanism  are made manifest1 and  
it is made clear1 how every party and   
sect1  notwithstanding their profession 

of republicanism1 are supporting        
,popery1 or1 what is the same ,monarchy1
 if they disregard our disclosures      
concerning the ,roman ,catholic and the 
,protestant churches in reference  to   
,christ's ,peaceable ,reign which will  
be the universal republic of  truth and 
righteousness,c1 and if they neglect to 
co-operate with us  for its             
introduction4    ,when ,i say us1 ,i    
understand the whole body of messengers 
whom ,i  represent4 ,i became           
,representative of this ,body by having 
performed and  explained what has been  
shown to me by the ,spirit of ,truth for
 the  introduction of the promised ,new 
,era4 ,no imaginations1 but facts1      
events1 are testifying our ,heavenly    
,mission for the true ,freedom1         
,harmony and ,peace of ,nations1 as well
 as the infernal ,mission of those  who 
either openly or secretly1 are opposed  
to our mission4 ,in this their          
condition they are supporting the ,papal
 ,imperial ,royal or ,monarchial        

powers4 ,this will be evident to those  
who comprehend this book4 ,then  they   
will know that those are either         
wittingly deceivers1 or are  deceived   
and repeat the lies and slanders of     
others1 who say that ,i make  too great 
claims and am anxious to be a great man4
 ,i confess to be  nothing else but a   
true republican1 a man for free         
discussion1  testifying what ,i know1   
and offering it to be duly examined and 
used for  the welfare of nations4 ,i had
 to forsake all things of this world and
 to  devote all my time to deep         
investigations1 till at length my       
studies had  arrived to maturity1 that  
,i could be used by ,heavenly ,powers as
 an  instrument or medium to disclose   
what is required for ,christ's peaceable
  ,reign on ,earth4 ,but those who      
should have been our first labourers in 
the great cause of ,human ,redemption1  
have deceived others in regard to  our  
mission2 and ,i have been abused1       
slandered and persecuted1 and have      

suffered more than a man could willingly
 bear for his fellow men1  without being
 supported by ,higher ,powers4 ,this    
support has brought me on  the ground   
where ,i stand1 and on which they shall 
arrive who will study  this book with   
understanding,d1 and then act           
accordingly4    ,this book is divided   
into several treatises1 which are so    
connected that  every reader in order to
 comprehend the unexpected developments 
for the  introduction of the promised   
,new ,era1 must study them in the order 
in  which they appear4 ,while studying  
in this manner1 if the contents of  some
 passage appear to him not only         
unexpected1 but also very  improbable1  
he will receive more light upon them in 
the continuation of  studying this book1
 till at length that which appeared at  
the first view  improbable1 will be made
 manifest to him to be a great truth1   
and he  will become our zealous fellow  
labourer in the great mission for the   
accomplishment of the greatest ,promises

 to the ,human race4 ,i write in  the   
expectation1 that my brethren and       
sisters1 after having perused this      
book1 will comprehend their calling and 
act accordingly with their  sincere     
servant4    ,,andrew ,b4 ,,smolnikar4

,remark3    ,i wrote this preface in the
 expectation of soon finding in         
,washington  means for publishing this  
book4 ,but ,i had to wait1 till at      
length the  war in ,italy commenced4    
,therefore readers are requested to     
study what  they must know to stop      
,revolutions and ,wars and to commence

,president of the ,united ,states4      
,on the #bgth ,january1 #ahei1 while ,i 
was ready to start from ,philadelphia1  
a messenger said1 that on that day an   

article appeared in the ,german         
,democrat of that city for my use1 and  
handed to me the number containing  that
 article1 from which we translate the   
following passages3    ,a pamphlet of   
the famous ,mr4 ,belly1 directed to     
,emperor ,napoleon ,,iii1  was announced
 in ,paris on all corners of the streets
 with very large  letters1 under the    
inscription    ,,napoleon ,,and         
,,buchanan4    ,whereas nothing can be  
published in ,paris without the         
permission of the  ,imperial censorship1
 it is supposed1 that ,mr4 ,belly acted 
according to a  superior order to arouse
 the public opinion against the ,united 
,states4  ,the ,president's message     
gives the pretext for it4 ,the ,united  
,states are  represented as deadly      
enemies of the whole ,latin ,race and of
 the  monarchies of ,europe1 which must 
fall to their feet1 if that race does   
not commence a crusade against the      
heretics1 and take the sword against    
the pirates1 thieves and bankrupts of   

the ,united ,states4    ,not having the 
original of the pamphlet and giving the 
following  passages in a free           
translation from the ,german translation
 which  appeared in the above quoted    
number of the ,democrat1 ,i may be      
excused by  those who have the ,french  
pamphlet at hand1 if they should find   
any  deviation from it4 ,monsieur ,belly
 writes besides other things also3      
,the longing of the ,united ,states for 
,cuba and ,mexico has not only the      
tendency to enlarge their territory and 
their interests1 but they act  besides  
this1 according to a principle1 which is
 diametrically opposite  to that of     
,france2 they do not care about any     
civilization beyond their  frontier2    
they have made alliance with all who are
 filled with hatred  against the        
,european politics4 ,when the           
,democratic ,republic obtains the       
supremacy in the new world1 all empires 
and kingdoms in the world will  become  
inimical to its interests and therefore 

it will be consequent and  necessary to 
destroy them either by art or by        
force4444 ,our commerce1  our industry  
will be compelled to obey instead of    
being the rulers1 and  the discovery of 
the new world will lead to the          
remarkable result of  having occasioned 
the death of the old4    ,the ,catholic 
sovereigns constituted by ,god and by   
their subjects1 are  obliged to         
introduce such circumstances as to carry
 into execution their  legitimate       
claims4 ,and those who have been elected
 by a band without  discipline1 by      
bankrupts and thieves1 dare to declare  
publicly1 that the  hour has come for   
these thieves and bankrupts to attack   
the civilized  world6 are we not as much
 devoted to the truth1 as they are to   
the lie8  ,we should not delay to       
promote our system of salvation1 while  
we are  discussing their system of      
perdition4 ,and whereas they are        
elevating the  crime to their religion  
with more energy than we do our holy    

religion1  while we appear to surrender 
it1 we will henceforth extol the cross  
and  draw the sword1 and unite the      
,latin race to the alliance1 without    
which  there is no salvation for        
civilization4    ,the president's       
message is in open opposition to the    
faith1 the ideas1  the principles and   
the interests1 the acknowledged defender
 of which  your ,majesty is4 ,that      
message strikes ,europe on both cheeks2 
and ,i  affirm that those who like to   
make it laughable1 become pale when they
  reflect upon it in their closets4     
,mr4 ,buchanan and the nation whom he   
represents1 keep these things not  any  
longer in secret4 ,from henceforth they 
demand ,cuba1 and the language  in the  
message shows1 that they will not desist
 from any means to obtain  their object4
 ,this object is one portion of ,mexico 
and then an other1  the whole ,central  
,america and ,west ,indies1 c4    ,if   
our profession which is expressed on the
 title page of this book1 is  true1 we  

have received the commission to move    
nations and their rulers  to establish  
the universal republic of truth and     
justice1 harmony and  peace4 ,it will be
 the true reign of ,christ1 for which   
all political and  ecclesiastical       
memorable events of past centuries and  
of this time1 are  preparations4 ,our   
commission1 that is1 the commission of  
messengers whom  ,i represent1 is       
confirmed by so many signs according to 
prophecies1 that  while ,i was writing  
the last of the five ,german volumes    
which have been  published from ,a4,d4  
#ahch till #ahdb1 ,i have oftentimes    
repeated1 that the  key has been given  
in those volumes to unlock and explain  
so many  prophecies and signs testifying
 our mission1 that five hundred volumes 
could be filled1 if there had not been  
superabundance of them already          
published in the five above mentioned   
volumes1 from which it is evident1  that
 neither monarchs amongst themselves in 
,europe1 nor political and              

ecclesiastical parties and sects in this
 country1 can establish peace1  but will
 continue to quarrel and consume every  
year an enormous amount  of property for
 war preparations1 and corrupt and ruin 
nations1 and  destroy many men and women
 during those preparations1 till at     
length  they are again and again so     
brutalized and enraged1 that they kill  
each  other1 till all parties are so    
exhausted1 that they are compelled to   
make peace1 which is nothing else but an
 armistice2 because when the  true peace
 or ,christ's reign1 which will be the  
universal ,republic of  ,truth and      
,justice1 shall be established on the   
whole globe1 soldiers and  all          
preparations for war1 will disappear1   
and those who are now learning  how to  
destroy each other1 will learn how to   
prolong their lives and  improve their  
intellectual and moral faculties for    
their own temporal  and eternal welfare1
 as well as for the welfare of others4  
,wo6 wo6 wo6  to the ,roman catholics as

 well as others in these ,united ,states
 and in  all other parts of ,america and
 in ,europe and elsewhere1 if the       
infernal  fire of revolution and war1   
which is glowing1 breaks out with all   
force  in the ,united ,states of        
,america4 ,it would extend on the globe 
and  consume millions of men1 and       
amongst them also ,monarchs4 ,but we    
write to  prevent their destruction1 and
 to prepare them to become true         
republicans and truly happy1 and to     
contribute their share for the          
happiness of all men4    ,after the     
publication of the above mentioned five 
volumes ,i made urgent  applications to 
political and ecclesiastical rulers and 
their  counsellors in ,europe by sending
 to some of them my books and letters1  
and to others letters only1 showing how 
to obtain my books1 and  exhorting them 
to study them and act accordingly to    
prevent revolutions  and wars and to    
commence the new ,era4 ,after that1     
whenever a peculiar  crisis was         

approaching1 we have issued some        
publication1 warning the  ,american     
,nation as well as other nations and    
their governments1 and  showing1 that   
there was high time to study the        
contents of our  volumes4 ,i am not     
alone1 but there are invisible          
messengers giving  testimony by my      
instrumentality1 as superabundance of   
proof is given  also in this volume4 ,in
 this connection of matters ,i mention  
the  following instance3    ,at the end 
of the year #ahec my pamphlet           
,antichristian ,conspiracy  against true
 ,republicanism issued from the press2  
and in the first part  of the year #ahed
 copies of that pamphlet as well as     
written disclosures  containing most    
solemn warnings to the ,american as well
 as to all other  nations1 were sent to 
,president ,pierce and to a number of   
congressmen in  both houses4 ,in said   
pamphlet and in the annexed written     
disclosures1  the ,government was most  
solemnly exhorted to appoint a          

convention for  examining our system or 
the magnetic chain of events through the
 course  of the past centuries in       
connection with the events of this      
generation1  which have not been        
understood so as they are made manifest 
in our chain  for binding the ,dragon1  
the spirit of delusion and destruction1 
,,revel4  xx4 #b4 who has given his     
power1 and his seat1 and great authority
 ,,revel4  xiii3 #b1 not only to the    
representative of the beast or the ,pope
 of  ,rome1 but also to the ten horns of
 the beast1 or kings1 that is  monarchs1
 who hate the whore1 that is the        
,apostatized ,church1 the people  who   
have apostatized from truth and justice1
 and whom monarchs make  desolate and   
naked1 and eat their flesh and burn them
 with fire1 ,,revel4  xvii3 #af4    ,the
 ,catholic ,sovereigns are according to 
the quoted passage of ,mr4  ,belly1     
constituted by ,god and by their        
subjects4 ,the number of the  ,democrat1
 which occasioned this treatise1 was    

providentially handed to  me4 ,but here 
is no room to explain that which will be
 explained in our  monthly theological  
course1 which is appointed in this book1
 and in  which our system or the chain  
to bind the dragon1 will be exhibited1  
and  in which will be made manifest1 how
 far the ,catholic sovereigns or        
monarchs are constituted by their       
subjects1 and how their subjects would  
constitute them1 if they were free and  
enlightened1 as they should be          
according to the will of ,god who has   
endowed them with intellectual and      
moral faculties1 to be duly developed4  
,here we mention only1 that the  highest
 duty of monarchs is to do all in their 
power for that  development4 ,if        
monarchs would fulfil their highest     
duty1 their subjects  would become true 
republicans1 and then monarchs would    
cease to be1 what  they now are by the  
appointment of the dragon1 the spirit of
 delusion  and destruction1 by whose    
inspiration they are executioners of the

  degraded people whose education has   
been neglected1 and who would have      
become true republicans1 if monarchs had
 become fathers and teachers of  the    
ignorant4 ,but obviously appears to be  
as absurd1 as ,mr4 ,belly's  assertion1 
that ,god has constituted the monarchs1 
although it is  manifest1 that the      
dragon has constituted them1 or they are
 constituted  according to a severe     
divine judgment1 according to his       
eternal laws1  when people are so       
degraded1 that they are not prepared for
 a better  government1 what is expressed
 in the following words of the          
,revelation2  ,god has put in the hearts
 of the ten horns to fulfil his will1   
and  agree1 and give their kingdom unto 
the beast1 until the words of ,god      
shall be fulfilled1 ,,revel4 ,,xvii43   
#ag4    ,in those circumstances1 after  
the destruction1 of the first           
,napoleon's  power1 it was best1 when   
the rulers or fathers of nations have   
neglected  to fulfil their highest duty1

 that they have submitted their         
monarchies  under the protection of the 
,pope1 the representative of the ,beast 
with  ten horns and seven heads1 till   
the prophecy has been fulfilled4 ,from  
neglecting that rule much greater evils1
 most dreadful revolutions and  wars    
originated4 ,the history of the so      
called christian church1 when  some     
portions rebelled against the ,pope     
through the course of centuries  until  
this time1 is the most horrible theatre 
under the dominion of the  dragon4      
,therefore1 after the destruction of the
 first ,napoleon we read  in ,,revel4   
xvii3 #ac1 that the ten horns or        
monarchs agreed unanimously  7in the    
,congress of ,vienna1 ,a4,d4 #ahae17 to 
give their power and strength  unto the 
beast1 that is1 to make the ,pope1 the  
representative of the  beast1 a partaker
 of their own power and strength4 ,this 
was the means  for the support of their 
own thrones1 till the prophecy has been 
fulfilled by what has been executed     

through our mediumships in the ,roman   
,catholic ,church1 and has been         
explained in the first three of my above
  mentioned five ,german volumes4 ,those
 three volumes appeared between ,a4,d4  
#ahch and #ahdj1 and have been sent to  
three ,roman ,catholic ,monarchs1 to    
wit1 the ,emperor of ,austria1 the ,king
 of ,bavaria and the ,king of ,france1  
with my hand writings1 showing to the   
first two their highest duty to  enjoin 
their ,theologians to examine those     
volumes and to send to me the  result of
 their examinations1 to be published    
with my remarks1 that  truth might be   
made manifest1 and to the king of       
,france1 that he should  translate those
 volumes into ,french and spread them as
 much as possible  in his monarchy4 ,all
 three have been most solemnly exhorted 
to do what  was required in those       
volumes to prevent the repetition of    
revolutions1  wars1 and other plagues1  
which cannot be removed but must be     
repeated1  till the heavenly message of 

,peace made manifest by our             
instrumentality1  is received by        
governments and nations4 ,when our      
applications to and  exhortations of    
political and ecclesiastical influential
 men in ,america  and in ,europe were   
not regarded1 and in these days of ,noah
 the earth was  corrupt and filled with 
violence1 and all flesh had corrupted   
his way1 ,i  ,mos4 vi3 #aa and #ab1 the 
flood of revolution broke out in ,europe
 in the  year #ahdh1 on the exact day in
 correspondence with prophecies given by
  our instrumentality and published in  
my volumes1 and emperors and kings1  and
 their machines of destruction1 the     
bishops of ,america and in ,europe1  and
 other political and ecclesiastical     
officers1 who with all our  exhortations
 remained obstinate sinners against the 
,holy ,ghost1 who has  disclosed by our 
instrumentality that which is required  
for the  introduction of the promised   
peaceable reign of ,christ1 which       
according  to our disclosures by a long 

chain of signs according to prophecies1 
will be the universal republic of truth 
and justice1 harmony and peace  on the  
whole globe1 are responsible for all    
destruction of human life  and property1
 which were consumed in that revolution 
and afterwards  until this hour1 and    
would have been saved1 if the means     
shown in our  message1 had been used4   
,ferdinand1 ,emperor of ,austria1 was   
the first compelled to give a           
constitution4 ,i read it on the #ahth1  
,april1 #ahdh1 and was inspired to      
write on the #aith1 ,april1 or1 on his  
birth-day a letter to him and an  appeal
 to the inhabitants of the ,austrian    
,empire1 assuring them1 that  the       
calamities came1 because the contents of
 our publications had not  been         
regarded1 although our mission had been 
superabundantly proven by  signs        
according to prophecies4 ,i confessed   
also1 that ,i was ready to go  instantly
 to ,vienna1 and to show practically1   
how to make the right use  of that      

constitution for the commencement of the
 new era of harmony and  peace1 if the  
emperor would publish directly my appeal
 to the  inhabitants of his empire1 and 
write to me1 and give the security to   
support the constitution1 which was such
 as the inhabitants of the  empire had a
 right to demand1 as well as the emperor
 had a right to  watch against the abuse
 and to apply the proper means for the  
right use  of the constitution4    ,my  
former applications and my volumes have 
been sent by me directly  through       
,triest to ,vienna1 but that my last    
document to emperor ,ferdinand  was sent
 to his minister in ,washington city    
with an urgent exhortation  to the      
minister1 to forward it to the emperor1 
and with the remark that  in the time in
 which an answer could be expected1 ,i  
would send to the  minister my          
direction1 to which post office he had  
to send the answer2  because ,i wrote to
 the emperor from the ,state of         
,new-,york on my journey  to other      

,states4 ,i wrote at length to the      
minister1 that if he receives  an answer
 to my documents from the ,emperor      
,ferdinand1 he should send it  to the   
post office of ,nashville1 capital of   
the ,state of ,tennessee4 ,i  urged the 
,emperor to send an answer as soon as   
possible1 and ,i assured  him1 that it  
was impossible1 to prevent new          
revolutions without the use  of the     
remedy contained in our message of      
peace4 ,but knowing the  slowness of the
 business at the ,austrian government1  
,i now on the #adth  ,september #ahdh1  
at noon time to the post office of      
,nashville to ask for  letters4 ,when ,i
 was approaching the post office1 fire  
bells commenced to  arouse people who   
were asking where the fire was4 ,some   
answered1 that it  was in the           
,presbyterian ,church on ,church street2
 but others remarked1  that they should 
not be mocked in this manner2 because it
 appeared to be  quite improbable that  
fire should break out at that hour in   

that season  in a church without being  
struck by lightning2 and that was a very
 clear  day4    ,i asked in the post    
office for letters4 ,but there was no   
letter for me  there4 ,on my return from
 the post office1 the whole presbyterian
 church  the largest in that city1 on   
,church ,street1 was enveloped in awful 
flames1 by which it was entirely        
consumed4    ,the next night after that 
solemn spectacle an angel of my ,lord   
brought  to me the message1 7and        
attentive readers of this book will be  
convinced1 that when my mission         
requires1 ,i come in perceivable        
communication with ,heavenly            
messengers17 that on the next sunday ,i 
should proclaim in that city1 that that 
was a prophetical fire  testifying that 
revolutions would break out again in the
 ,austrian  empire1 because the bishops 
of that empire had neglected to fulfil  
their  highest duty to instruct the     
,emperor in what he should do for the   
pacification of nations1 and that the   

revolution should be a solemn  warning  
to the citizens of the ,united ,states3 
because judgments cannot  be removed    
from this country1 but must increase    
till churches of the  great harlot and  
her daughters will be consumed1 if these
 judgments  shall not be stopped by the 
application of our message of peace4    
,public  halls are generally not opened 
for our proclamations1 because we have  
no  money to pay for their use4 ,but at 
that time the masonic fraternity were   
carrying their instruments into their   
building1 from which they removed  them 
during the danger while the church      
opposite their building was  burning4 ,i
 said to them1 that ,i had to proclaim a
 message against the  ,pope of ,rome in 
correspondence with that fire1 and      
requested them to  grant their hall for 
that purpose1 ,they granted it1 and my  
proclamation  was advertised in the     
daily newspapers of ,nashville4 ,it was 
delivered on  the next sunday after the 
fire in the ,german language before1 and

 in  the ,english language after noon4  
,in the next month after that           
proclamation the last dreadful ,european
  revolution and war commenced in       
,hungary in correspondence with the     
fact1  that the bishops of ,hungary were
 the last among the bishops of ,europe1 
who have been under the direction of my 
,heavenly leaders most solemnly  warned 
to prevent the revolution which         
commenced in ,paris on the #bdth        
,february,e #ahdh4 ,that was in the     
octave of the tenth anniversary after   
my first public appearance in my present
 mission and my solemn  initiation by   
,heavenly messengers for this mission4  
,ten years in  commemoration of the ten 
horns of the beast were granted for     
repentance  to the blind leaders of the 
blind1 for whom ,i published ,a4,d4     
#ahch the  first volume of explanations 
of the mystery2 and in that year ,i     
commenced to exhort ,emperor ,ferdinand 
and his bishops1 that they should  study
 that volume4 ,but after the publication

 of the fifth volume ,a4,d4  #ahdb1 the 
bishops of ,hungary were the last       
amongst the grandees of  ,europe1 to    
whom ,i applied2 to wit1 when all my    
applications were  disregarded1 ,i      
published a ,latin circular and sent    
copies of it to a  number of bishops in 
,europe4 ,while ,i was preparing those  
copies for the  mail1 ,samuel ,ludvigh1 
a ,hungarian scholar1 came into my room4
 ,he never  before nor after that did   
come to me1 although ,i met with him    
several  times in other places1 and     
warned him always1 that he should study 
my  writings to be converted from his   
materialism to the true spiritualism4   
,but at that my meeting with him in my  
room ,i said to him1 that he came  at   
the right time1 to give me directions to
 all bishops in ,hungary4 ,he  did so1  
and by this unexpected provision ,i was 
enabled1 to send to all  ,roman         
,catholic bishops in ,hungary copies of 
my ,latin circular1 in which  direction 
to find copies of my volumes1 was given 

and the duty of the  ,austrian bishops  
was shown to study my volumes1 and then 
to instruct the  ,emperor and other     
grandees of the ,austrian ,empire and   
,hungarian ,kingdom1  in what they      
should do1 to prevent revolutions and   
wars1 and to  establish the promised    
peace on earth4    ,when all our        
endeavoring to move the blind leaders of
 the blind to take  the medicine which  
was prepared in our publications to open
 their eyes1  was disregarded1 ,i met at
 length in ,cincinnati with the same    
doctor  ,samuel ,ludvigh1 a             
materialistic reformer1 trusting in     
weapons of war1  and ,i was inspired    
that ,i said to him1 that there was high
 time for him  to learn that he had an  
immortal soul and also1 that he himself 
was a  strong medium of deluding and    
destroying spirits1 and that ,i was     
ready  to give him a peculiar testimony 
of that truth most necessary for him to 
become an apostle of peace4 ,he asked1  
how ,i could show him this4 ,he was  not

 ready to examine arguments and         
experience of others in this respect4   
,therefore ,i1 according to the         
direction of my ,heavenly leader said1  
that  ,i would magnetize him4 ,that was 
the same in that connection of things1  
as to say1 that ,i would initiate him   
into the mystery of our close           
connection with departed spirits4 ,there
 is the right use as well as the  abuse 
of human magnetism4 ,some eight years   
ago ,i published a pamphlet on  the     
dreadful abuse of human magnetism in the
 mysteries of the ,roman  ,catholic     
,church and her daughters the protestant
 sects4 ,samuel ,ludvigh  was willing   
that ,i should magnetize him directly4  
,but ,i remarked1 that  the tavern in   
which ,i met with him1 was not the      
proper place for our  initiation or     
ordination4 ,but he was inspired to ask 
me1 that ,i should  make a trial there  
in his room in which some of his        
materialists were  with him4 ,i was     
impressed to do so1 and it was directly 

made manifest1  that the legion of      
demons by which he was surrounded1 were 
compelled to  give way to our magnetism4
 ,and when he fell into the magnetic    
sleep1 ,i  said to him1 that to go so   
deep into our magnetism as to be        
convinced of  man's immortality and to  
become with us an apostle of the ,new   
,era1 he  must visit me at my boarding  
house4 ,and he promised to do so on the 
next  following evening4 ,i said that ,i
 would come to take him with me4 ,but   
when ,i came ,i found not him1 but a    
writing in which he imformed me1 that   
some friends came and moved him to start
 with them for other places4 ,we  heard 
then1 that he had started for ,europe4  
,at length we received his  ,german     
pamphlet1 which was published in        
,hamburgh1 a seaport in ,europe1  and   
was entitled3 ,the sword of ,revolution1
 in which this strange  prophet ,samuel 
,ludvigh1 reports1 that he took a sword 
of the ,american  revolution and other  
insignia of war1 and copies of his      

,german  periodical1 entitled ,the      
,torch1 and stopped in ,europe first in 
,paris1  and three days after his       
departure from that city1 revolution    
broke out  there4 ,from thence he went  
to ,berlin1 and from that city to       
,vienna1 and  in each of those cities   
soon after his departure revolution     
broke out4  ,at length he put his sword 
and other insignia of war into the      
,national  ,museum of ,hungary1 and     
returned to ,america4    ,those who will
 study this whole book so as to         
comprehend the whole  connection of     
matters1 will learn gradually better    
than they see when  they arrive in      
reading it to this period1 that my      
meeting with ,samuel  ,ludvigh in       
,cincinnati was providentially prepared 
for a testimony to all  governments1    
that when ,samuel ,ludvigh who had      
performed since ,a4,d4 #ahch  in his    
meetings with me manifold prophetical   
actions which have been  mentioned in   
some of my former publications1 and was 

also at that my  meeting with him in    
,cincinnati not yet disposed to become  
an apostle of  peace1 and the measure of
 crimes in ,europe was filled1 the      
,heavenly  congress with whom we are    
connected1 gave permission to the       
infernal  demons to carry their medium  
with the war insignia to ,europe1 and to
  announce to the infernal demons in    
,europe1 that the time had arrived for  
them to inspire their mediums to break  
out in their fury and spread            
destruction1 for the reason that those  
who kept people in bondage and  were the
 cause of their degredation1 have       
rejected our message of peace  and      
continued to be obstinate sinners       
against the ,holy ,ghost who has        
offered them in our publications the    
means for the pacification of  nations4 
,but whereas the means for peace were   
not used1 revolutions and  wars had to  
give a new turn to human affairs4       
,when those who were deluding the good  
natured ,emperor ,ferdinand1 kept  him  

in bondage and would not make use of my 
above mentioned last  application to him
 for a commencement of the millennial   
happiness first  in the ,austrian       
,empire1 ,i1 according to the direction 
of my ,heavenly  ,leaders1 made no more 
applications to ,europe1 but commenced  
to urge  ,presidents and other          
influential men at the government of the
 ,united  ,states1 to study our message 
and the credentials of our mission for  
the  pacification of nations4 ,when     
after all my applications to several of 
the predecessors of ,president ,pierce  
at length also he remained in the       
shackles of the infernal ,papal         
,imperial ,royal ,magnetism1 and members
 of  the ,congress of all parties and   
sects followed his example1 ,i was      
impressed that ,i should apply to the   
,emperor ,louis ,napoleon and to        
prepare him1 that he might commence to  
look1 where to find the great  refuge   
for his own and the true happiness of   
his family in their mortal  bodies as   

well as in all eternity after their     
departure from this short  life1 every  
moment of which should be duly used as  
preparation for the  eternity4 ,he was  
at that time1 in the spring1 #ahed1     
engaged with great  preparations for the
 tremendous war with ,russia2 and ,i    
wrote a document  to his ambassador in  
,washington1 showing that if ,emperor   
,napoleon would  be truly great in this 
and in all future ages1 and truly happy 
in all  eternity1 he instead of         
preparations for war with ,russia1      
should call  all bishops of his ,empire 
to a ,latin convention with me in       
,paris4 ,in  that convention my         
manuscript which ,i wrote ,a4,d4 #ahdi1 
in ,latin and in  which ,i concentrated 
the system or the magnetic chain to bind
 the  ,dragon1 ,,revel4 xx4 #b1 who     
deludes ,emperors and ,kings to keep    
people in  bondage so that when they    
break their bonds they are as the       
wildest  beasts killing till they are   
killed1 should be examined and bishops  

and  their theologians should make any  
objection1 but all which they object    
they must object in writing1 to be then 
annexed to my manuscript and  published 
with my remarks in ,latin and in        
translations1 that nations and  their   
ecclesiastical and political            
representatives might judge1 each for   
himself1 whether we have received or not
 received the commission and the        
credentials of our mission for the      
introduction of the promised new era  of
 harmony and peace amongst all nations4 
,a ,latin convention for this  purpose  
was first appointed in the ,city of     
,new-,york ,a4,d4 #ahdi1 and the        
,archbishop of ,baltimore was urged by  
our ,latin manuscript ,epistle and      
,english printed circular1 to move the  
whole synod of bishops who met at  that 
time in ,baltimore1 to attend our ,latin
 convention1 and those who  could not   
attend it themselves to send the most   
qualified ,theologians to  attend it4   
,and ,john ,hughes bishop of ,new-,york1

 was particularly  exhorted1 that he1 as
 bishop of the place of the convention1 
was  principally bound to bring his     
,theologians to said convention4 ,but   
when  all my endeavoring to move bishops
 as well as the government of the       
,united ,states to send able ,latin     
scholars to attend said convention1 did 
not move them to do so1 ,i translated at
 length that manuscript into  ,german   
and into ,english1 and appointed        
conventions in those languages4  ,but ,i
 could not move such as have great      
influence at the government1 to  attend 
those conventions1 and then to commence 
with power the ,new ,era4  ,therefore ,i
 thought1 that a trial should be made1  
whether the ,united  ,states or the     
representative of the government of     
,france would  comprehend sooner1 that  
nothing in the world could bring greater
 glory  in this life and in all         
eternity1 than the work to examine or   
order that  our message of peace be     
examined by the best judges of this     

matter1 and  be applied for the         
introduction of the new era4 ,in the    
hope that ,emperor  ,napoleon would     
comprehend the great mission which was  
offered to him in  our message1 ,i wrote
 to his ambassador at ,washington1      
suggesting to the  ,emperor1 that ,i was
 ready to come as a citizen of the      
,united ,states to  ,paris1 to exhibit  
the credentials which are signs         
according to  prophecies1 testifying our
 mission to move the governments of this
  world1 to establish ,christ's         
peaceable reign or the universal        
republic  of truth and justice1 harmony 
and peace4 ,i expected that the time for
  the abolition of severe judgments1 the
 principal executor of which is         
,emperor ,napoleon1 was expiring4       
,not having room in this treatise for   
any explanation of points which ,i      
mention1 ,i show here one of the general
 tokens1 by which the severity of       
judgments may be measured1 to wit1 the  
armies of soldiers1 to keep  nations in 

bondage and to defend them against      
inimical neighbours4 ,the  greater in   
proportion to the number of people1 the 
number of soldiers  is1 the severer is  
the judgement4 ,when soldiers shall not 
be needed1 and  those who are soldiers1 
will take up occupations beneficial to  
mankind1  the perfect victory of ,christ
 against the dragon will be celebrated4 
,and  if all governments of a christian 
name would understand to-day our true   
christian message of peace1 they could  
give directly to those who are          
soldiers1 true christian occupations2   
and heathens could be soon  converted   
into true christians4 ,while ,emperor   
,napoleon was gathering  together       
warriors and provisions for the great   
war against ,russia1 we  offered him the
 best opportunity to be the first of    
those who should  commence the ,new     
,era4 ,whether he had received from his 
ambassador in  ,washington ,d4,c4 our   
offer or not1 he may tell for himself2  
because ,i  have received no answer1    

although ,i have offered to the         
ambassador  himself1 that although ,i   
was ready to go to ,paris and show there
 in our  ,latin convention to all       
bishops of the ,french ,empire my       
mission1 which  is also the mission of  
my fellow laborers1 and the credentials 
of our  mission1 ,i would visit the     
ambassador himself and give him as many 
evidences of this great truth as would  
be abundantly sufficent for him1  to    
recommend with all his energy our offer 
to the ,emperor1 if the  ambassador     
would write to me and call me to        
,washington4 ,instead of an  answer from
 the ambassador to my proposition for   
the true christian  triumph of ,france  
and for the pacification of the world we
 have received  at length the tremendous
 answer which has occasioned this my    
treatise4  ,here is not the place for an
 investigation1 whether people of the   
,latin  ,race in ,europe and ,america or
 others are the principal people who    
commit the crimes with which citizens of

 the ,united ,states are charged4  ,to  
the article in the number of the        
,democrat from which ,i have quoted     
some passages1 a list of bankruptcies is
 annexed1 which took place in  the      
,united ,states in the years #aheg and  
#aheh4 ,a4,d4 #aheg the total number  of
 bankruptcies is #dicb2 and ,a4,d4      
#aheh1 #dbce4 ,it would be of great     
consequence1 to investigate the deeply  
secret principal cause of their         
bankuptcies1 and also the native place1 
education and character of each         
bankrupt4 ,an impartial examination     
would bring new contributions to know   
the secret conspiracy of the servants of
 his ,holiness the apocalystical        
dragon1 to keep nations in bondage4     
,emperor ,napoleon is not only a        
spiritualist of the last fashion1 but a 
strong medium of dreadful deluding and  
destroying demons1 and ,i know  much    
more about his mediumship than he       
himself and his mediums know  about it1 
and this treatise is written to be      

prefixed to documents which  contain    
facts that should move all nations of   
the ,latin race as well  as heretics1 to
 come out from ,babylon which is made   
manifest1 in our  mission1 as a         
habitation of demons1 ,,revel4 ,,xx43   
#b4 ,when ,i am preparing  documents of 
great warning1 servants of demons must  
send from all  quarters of the world    
testimonies1 how the infernal hosts of  
demons are  preparing everywhere their  
mediums for destruction of human life   
and  property4 ,this and the following  
treatises are written to deliver other  
mediums as well as monarchs from the    
influence of deluding and  destroying   
demons4 ,and ,emperor ,napoleon should  
consider this treatise as  the most     
precious ,heavenly gift1 to bring him   
and by his instrumentality  millions of 
others into the glorious resurrection4  
,if he studies this  book in which this 
treatise occupies the first place1 so as
 to  comprehend it3 we have no doubt1   
that he will arrive on our ground and   

invite us to visit ,paris and celebrate 
there the glorious resurrection  of     
those who belong to the ,latin race and 
are yet in their mortal  bodies as well 
as of their departed friends4    ,in the
 third of my above mentioned five       
,german volumes is the appearance  of   
,napoleon ,i4 reported1 when he was     
brought on the #bdth ,june1 #ahci1      
before me in his materialistic          
superficial imperial shape4 ,but when ,i
  was looking into his interior         
condition1 the awful distress and       
tremendous darkness blotted out all his 
imperial splendor4 ,he and others  in a 
similar deceitful condition are         
influencing the ,emperor4 ,but ,i am    
writing as his most sincere friend in   
his behalf and that of nations1  and    
promise to do all in my power according 
to my mission to assist him1  that he   
might become a blessing to nations and  
with our assistance  pacify the departed
 ,emperor ,napoleon and other congenial 
friends1 and  draw them into the        

glorious ,new ,era4 ,the mediumship of  
,emperor ,louis  ,napoleon was manifest 
to us in correspondence with many cases 
of solemn  warnings for the imperial    
court and all other members of the      
,latin  race in close connexion with    
events which happened in our mission at 
the same time1 when those cases         
surprised the world4 ,here ,i mention   
the  solemn execution of the ,archbishop
 of ,paris in ,saint ,stephen's ,church 
by  the mediumship of the priest who has
 been inspired and supported for  that  
work which required more than human     
strength1 from the infernal  regions on 
the day and at the hour of the novena1  
which were most  suitable according to  
the prophetical ,roman ,catholic        
,calendar in  correspondence with what  
we were doing at the same time in our   
charge  under the ,heavenly direction1  
and in correspondence with what ,emperor
  ,napoleon was doing at the same time  
under the direction of deluding and     
destroying spirits4    ,in the first    

three of my above mentioned five ,german
 volumes it was  shown1 that the doings 
of the ,popes of ,rome1 who are under   
the  inspiration from the inferior      
regions1 were so controlled through the 
course of centuries by our ,heavenly    
congress1 that those amongst the        
,popes1 who had received peculiar rolls 
in the great drama of the               
ecclessiastical and political history1  
had received also corresponding  names  
to their rolls1 and numbers             
corresponding to their names4 ,and we   
will have also in this book opportunity 
to mention some instances of  that kind4
 ,but here we made this remark on       
account that at the receipt  of the     
report of the solemn murder of the      
archbishop1 we 7after having  received  
instruction in different spirit         
languages which we need in  disclosing  
the mysteries for the promised ,new     
,era1 and amongst those  languages is   
also the language by numbers17 saw the  
great unexpected  truth1 that the       

,heavenly congress who are with the     
,lamb1 were so  controlling the inferior
 regions of the papal imperial royal    
demons1  that in ,paris which is the    
principal seat of the intrigues         
connected  with the ,papal machinations1
 also ,bishops were so counted1 that    
when the  number of their succession    
according to our spirit language was    
complete  in their ,novena1 amongst them
 also the number of the ,popish ,saints 
as  well as the number of ,cardinals and
 the number of ,archbishops of ,paris   
corresponded to the celebration of the  
mystery of the execution1 and  that     
,archbishop has been solemnly executed  
in ,saint ,stephen's ,church1  who was  
in every respect most qualified for the 
celebration of that  mystery1 and the   
infernal executioners have received     
permission from the  ,heavenly ,congress
 to effect the execution by their       
,medium1 a priest who  became most      
qualified to be their ,medium2 and this 
happened for a  peculiar warning to the 

,pope1 his ,cardinals1 ,archbishops1    
,bishops and  ,priests1 that they might 
not wait1 till a general destruction of 
their  persons in connection with their 
,hierarchy would take place1 but that   
they might come out from ,babylon and   
become with us messengers of the  ,new  
,era4 ,i wrote an extraordinary treatise
 disclosing the deep mystery  of the    
,episcopal succession in ,paris         
connected with the solemn execution  of 
the ,archbishop in his complete numbers 
by the inspiration and  assistance of   
destroying demons1 using their          
sacerdotal medium1  according to the    
permission of the ,heavenly ,congress1  
for a peculiar  warning to the ,papal   
,imperial ,royal ,hierarchy and the     
whole ,latin  ,race4 ,there not being   
room in this book for publication of    
that  treatise which is preserved       
amongst others of my manuscripts to be  
published in due time and in connection 
with other treatises which need  deeper 
studies to be fully understood than the 

memorable events which we  have selected
 for this book1 we found proper to      
mention somewhat  regarding that        
execution in peculiar connexion with    
,emperor ,napoleon and  the clergy of   
his empire1 that they might open their  
eyes and stop the  infernal fury which  
has been made manifest in the preaching 
of the  crusade which gave occasion to  
this our extraordinary treatise4    ,the
 position of ,napoleon ,,iii4 to        
,napoleon ,i4 according to prophecies1  
cannot be understood except in the      
magnetic chain of events shown in our   
system which will be explained in our   
monthly theological course1 which  is   
announced in this book for the          
introduction of the ,new ,era4 ,although
  the ,pope of ,rome and the ,emperor   
,napoleon1 both may be destroyed at the 
abolition of systems which they1 each in
 his sphere1 represent1  notwithstanding
 this we labour most earnestly1 that    
their lives may be  preserved and they  
come into our ,new ,jerusalem and draw  

millions of  others into it4 ,at the    
explosion of the percussion shells1 in  
which  others have been killed at the   
entrance to the theatre1 but ,napoleon's
  life was preserved1 peculiar          
manifestations took place4 ,the         
explanation  of that mystery will be    
annexed as an appendix to the above     
mentioned  treatise1 in which the       
mystery of the succession of ,bishops of
 ,paris is  explained4 ,the             
representative of bishops who have      
generated such fruits  as are manifest  
in ,paris1 has suffered death4 ,but     
,emperor ,napoleon's  life was preserved
 at other occasions of danger as well as
 at the  explosion of the percussion    
shells2 and we are labouring in the     
expectation that he will understand this
 book and become with us a great        
apostle removing the severe judgments   
and the dreadful bondage1 which  are    
connected with his present government1  
and assisting us in the  preparation for
 the great resurrection of those in     

their mortal bodies  as well as of their
 departed friends4 ,all that is written 
in this book  is written for a peculiar 
instruction to all1 and especially to   
those  who are strong ,mediums of       
deluding and destroying spirits the     
great  ,prince amongst whom is ,emperor 
,napoleon4 ,but we write this treatise1 
to  deliver him from those miserable    
tyrants1 and to make him a preacher of  
peace also to his departed friends4     
,what we write for him1 we write that   
it might be used by all readers4    ,as 
strange as the point in the inscription1
 that ,james ,buchanan is  according to 
the merciful ,divine ,benignty          
,president of the ,united  ,states1 may 
appear not only to other governments1   
but also to many big  men in these      
,united ,states1 and to millions of     
others who are deceived  by big men1 we 
write to undeceive all1 and that also   
those might be  saved1 who would have   
been already destroyed1 if instead of   
,james  ,buchanan ,col4 ,fremont had    

been elected ,president of the ,united  
,states4  ,we are on quite another      
ground from which we consider human     
affairs1  than that from which they are 
generally considered3 because ,i speak  
as  ,medium of the ,heavenly ,powers by 
whom ,i am sent to draw nations on our  
ground4 ,for there is no salvation but  
destruction for them1 if they will  not 
arise from their present degraded       
condition upon our ground from  which   
they will see matters as we see them4   
,in the meantime we instruct  them by   
facts1 that they might know1 that we are
 correct and they are in  delusion4 ,i  
am as independent from ,president       
,buchanan1 as his enemies  are1 and if  
he has received my writings which ,i    
have sent and directed  to him1 he did  
not make use of them2 although ,i       
suppose that my writings  directed to   
him since his ,presedential             
administration1 remain in the  hands of 
others4 ,but in case1 he had received   
and read those my  writings1 and had    

despised the course which is shown in   
our message as  the course for          
redemption of nations from the ,papal   
,imperial ,royal and  other oppresive   
and speculating powers1 the inscription 
in regard to him  remains true2 and when
 ,i do not despair of ,emperor          
,napoleon's conversion  from his dragon 
to our ,christ1 ,i expect with great    
confidence1 that  ,president ,buchanan  
will be sooner converted than ,napoleon2
 although ,i do  not know1 how the      
,heavenly ,congress see this matter1    
because ,i am not in  their congress but
 only a medium of messengers sent from  
that congress4  ,but in every case the  
inscription to this treatise is true1 as
 the  bitterest enemies of ,president   
,buchanan may learn from the following  
items1 and by studying this whole book  
they themselves may be brought  upon our
 ground and assist us in drawing the    
,president upon the same  ground for the
 redemption of nations from all         
tyrannical powers4    ,i was in         

,cincinnati1 when honorable ,james      
,buchanan was nominated  ,democratic    
,candidate for ,presidency4 ,that       
nomination took place on the  #fth of   
,june #ahef4 ,during the balloting of   
the ,delegates ,i was inspired1  and    
said on the #dth ,june1 to ,doctor ,b4  
,f4 ,white1 that ,i felt it to be my    
duty to endeavor to make known to the   
,delegates our message of ,peace and    
the credentials of our mission1 and that
 the place for that purpose was         
providentially prepared a few days      
before that by a building having been   
removed at the front of ,burnet's       
,hotel1 the largest hotel in which the  
largest portion of the democratic       
delegates boarded1 and ,i made the      
proposition to ,doctor ,b4 ,f4 ,white1  
that he should open the meeting for  my 
address4 ,he promised to do so4 ,he was 
a strong medium of spirits of  the so   
called ,republican ,party4 ,but ,i      
belong to no party1 supporting  ,truth  
wherever ,i find it sufficiently proven1

 and working against  delusion and      
error1 wherever ,i have enough evidence 
against them4 ,b4 ,f4  ,white knew      
somewhat in regard to our message1      
having heard some of my  speeches and   
having read my pamphlet which had been  
published in  ,cincinnati a few days    
before that nomination4 ,we agreed      
strictly to  observe two points2 in the 
first place to say nothing which would  
have a  reference to any party1 and to  
proclaim only1 what all should hear     
regarding our message of ,peace4 ,the   
second point was that we should  speak  
before sunset1 and finish our speeches  
before night should  commence4 ,i was   
certain about the point which ,i related
 to ,dr4 ,white1  that if we would speak
 in the night1 some disaster would      
happen during  our speeches on that     
occasion4 ,dr4 ,white accompanied me1   
while we were  going to the open lot1 on
 which we had agreed to address the     
,democratic  ,delegates2 but on our way 
we met with somebody who commenced to   

talk  with ,dr4 ,white4 ,i left them    
talking and went to the spot agreed upon
 to  deliver our address4 ,but while ,i 
was waiting more than one hour there1   
,dr4 ,white did not come4 ,i felt that  
,i alone should not deliver my  message 
there4 ,he came at length while there   
was already twilight4 ,i  said to him1  
that it was too late and we should not  
speak4 ,i assured him  again1 that ,i   
was determined not to speak that night4 
,but he replied  that he was determined 
to speak1 and that he was sure1 that    
nothing  would happen4 ,but ,i repeated1
 that some disaster would happen4 ,then 
another strong medium came4 ,he belonged
 to the same ,republican party  that    
,dr4 ,white did1 and lived with ,dr4    
,white4 ,his spirit confirmed the       
assertion of the spirit of ,dr4 ,white1 
that nothing would happen1 if we  would 
address the ,delegates4 ,then ,i would  
not interfere any longer1 and  ,dr4     
,white commenced to address the         
assembled4 ,while he spoke1 the crowd   

increased and some commenced to make    
disturbance4 ,at that moment the        
,editor of the ,democratic ,review in   
,washington ,city interfered1 and he    
took the platform1 addressing the       
audience and saying1 that the speaker   
should not be disturbed1 and that he    
supposed the speaker belonged to  the   
,democratic party4 ,i said once more to 
,dr4 ,white1 that it was high  time to  
leave that place4 ,but he again         
asserted1 that he was certain1  that    
nothing would happen4 ,and the other    
medium of the ,republican party         
confirmed again ,dr ,white's assertion4 
,at that moment ,i left the spot and    
went to ,dr4 ,white's office4 ,fifteen  
or twenty minutes after me ,dr4 ,white  
and the other strong medium of  deluding
 and destroying spirits1 both came about
 #i o'clock ,p4,m4 and they  were       
frightened and said1 that there was so  
great a disturbance1 that  policemen    
were not sufficient to check it4 ,and   
they added as a very  remarkable        

instance1 that a policeman in trying to 
check the  disturbance1 lost his star4  
,but they did not know the other        
particulars  which appeared on the next 
morning in the newspapers1 to wit1 that 
the  above mentioned ,editor of the     
,democratic ,review in ,washington ,city
 was  dangerously stabbed in his lungs4 
,his wound proved not to be fatal1      
although it was so large1 that when it  
was sounded1 the air which blew  out of 
the wound1 extinguished the candlelight 
which was applied to see  the wound4    
,the man who stabbed the ,democratic    
,reviewer from ,washington1  could not  
be detected1 although the circumstances1
 from our position  considered1 make it 
certain1 that he was a medium of        
distroying spirits  belonging to the    
,republican party4 ,those spirits were  
allowed by our  leaders to give a       
prophetical sign4 ,the stabbing took    
place about #i  o'clock ,p4,m4 on the   
#dth day of ,june1 #ahef4    ,i have    
circumstantially related the stabbing of

 the ,democratic ,reviewer2  because    
from these circumstances in connexion   
with what follows1 it is  evident to    
anybody who understands the prophetic   
languages by numbers1  names and other  
circumstances1 that by that stabbing    
prophecy has been  given under the      
control of our ,heavenly ,congress who  
determined to  interfere by our         
mediumship1 that the ,democratic party1 
although they  would come in great      
danger to lose the victory in their     
battle against  the ,republican party1  
would finally conquer their opposition4 
,i was  inspired1 to give opportunity to
 that prophecy4 ,doctor ,benjamin       
,franklin  ,white1 a spiritualist and a 
strong medium of spirits of his party1  
was  the representative of the          
,republican party2 and the ,democratic  
,reviewer  from ,washington ,city1 was  
the representative of the ,democratic   
party4  ,benjamin ,franklin ,white1     
doctor of medicine1 has most suitable   
names  expressing his prophetical       

position1 as we will have perhaps       
elsewhere  opportunity to explain the   
mystery4 ,as the office of the          
,democratic  ,reviewer in ,washington   
was expressive to the mystery of his    
representation1 so were probably his    
names which ,i do not keep in  memory1  
and my notes of that time are not at    
hand1 while ,i am writing  this4 ,but   
the circumstances mentioned in connexion
 with what we will  report on the       
following pages of this treatise1 are   
superabundantly  sufficient to testify  
that it was a great prophecy4 ,the      
delegates then  continued their work1   
till at length on the #fth day of the   
#fth month  ,james ,buchanan was        
nominated ,candidate by ,democrats for  
the ,presidential  ,chair4 ,i looked    
into the next prophetical almanac which 
was at hand1 and  the name of that day  
was ,benignus4 ,there are ,roman        
,catholic and  ,protestant calendars    
which are used by our sphere of spirits 
in giving  prophecies4 ,that was a      

,protestant almanac2 because that was a 
,protestant affair4 ,at the events of   
great importance names of our           
prophetical almanacs correspond to the  
events4 ,benignus1 the ,latin is  in    
,english ,benign1 that is kind or       
generous4 ,from thence we adopted  the  
word ,benignity1 that is grace or       
graciousness1 generosity1  kindness1 in 
the inscription of this treatise4    ,if
 ,i would explain the prophetical       
language by numbers and names and  other
 circumstances1 this would require more 
room than our economy could  here spare1
 and we could not consent to publish at 
this time a much  larger volume than    
manuscript is prepared for this volume1 
also in case  that somebody should be   
desirous to publish it2 because this    
volume  contains more than most readers 
will be prepared to study and digest    
thoroughly4 ,therefore we must delay    
other manuscripts for other  occasions1 
and we can explain only a little of what
 we know2 because  otherwise we could   

never finish our explanations4 ,but the 
substance  given in the prophecy on the 
#dth and #fth of ,june at the nomination
 of  ,hon4 ,james ,buchanan1 in which he
 became the ,democratic ,candidate for  
,presidency1 did announce1 that         
,james ,buchanan will become ,president 
of the ,united ,states by the           
interference of the ,heavenly congress  
of spirits who are commissioned to      
introduce the ,peaceable ,reign of      
,christ or the ,universal ,republic of  
truth and justice1 harmony and peace1 by
 the instrumentality of  messengers whom
 ,i represent to move the governments   
and nations for  action to accomplish   
the great object to which prophecies of 
all ages  and of all nations have their 
tendency2 but notwithstanding that his  
administration will be for the increase 
of the #dth ,beast in the #gth  chap1 of
 ,daniel1 the number of the name of     
which is #fff1 ,,revel4 xiii1  #ag and  
#ah1 and its fundamental number is #f1  
and notwithstanding that  ,president    

,buchanan will continue the             
administration for the support of  that 
,beast1 till he arrives either on our   
ground or is taken away1                
notwithstanding this1 he is given as    
,president by the ,heavenly ,congress   
in divine mercy1 according to the       
,benignus1 or according to the merciful 
divine ,benignity1 that a great door for
 the commencement of the promised       
peaceable reign of ,christ will be      
opened1 which would have been locked    
for this time1 if the opposition had    
succeeded and brought their  ,candidate 
,col4 ,fremont upon the ,presidential   
,chair4    ,nobody should say1 that ,i  
interpret prophecy after its fulfilment4
 ,any  body who has studied the first   
three of my ,german volumes1 the #c;d of
  which appeared ,a4,d4 #ahdj1 if he    
knew the above1 mentioned circumstances 
and had reflected upon them1 would have 
been qualified to interpret the         
prophecy in ,cincinnati on the #fth day 
of the #fth month #ahef1 at noon  time1 

while the roaring of the cannon was     
announcing the nomination of  ,james    
,buchanan4 ,but whether he will be the  
great hero1 to commence the  ,millennium
 in the ,white ,house at ,washington and
 proclaim the ,millennial  glory to     
other governments on the globe1 or      
whether he will perish in  the ,beast   
and its ten ,horns1 as his predecessors 
did1 and another will  obtain and spread
 the ,heavenly blessings offered to     
,president ,buchanan1  is not expressed 
in the prophecy4 ,but we write in the   
expectation1 that  at length he will    
comprehend this and act accordingly4    
,after that great prophecy ,i thought   
that my duty was to behave perfectly    
neutral during the great struggle of the
 two parties1 to wit1 the  ,democratic  
and the ,republican1 at the presidential
 campaign4 ,i delivered  then in several
 places of the ,state of ,ohio public   
addresses2 but ,i made  expressedly     
everywhere the remark1 that ,i was      
perfectly independent from  all         

political parties and proclaiming       
according my mission the message  of    
,peace to all parties and sects1 to     
prepare them for the promised ,new      
,era4 ,but after every address1         
notwithstanding all my protestation1    
,republicans cried that ,i belonged to  
their party1 and ,democrats were        
dissatisfied4    ,at length ,i arrived  
in ,pittsburgh ,pa4 and a medium of     
strong spirit  manifestations and public
 street preacher has offered to me for a
  present a copy of ,fremont's ,life    
published by ,horace ,greeley  ,co43 and
  made the remark1 that if ,i should    
read it1 ,i would be moved to act for   
,fremont's election4 ,i remarked1 that  
,i would have in these circumstances    
scarcely sufficient time to read so much
 regarding ,fremont and also  regarding 
,buchanan1 as would be necessary to know
 both as far as to  decide according to 
my knowledge of both for one or the     
other2 and then  it would be against my 
usual course1 if ,i should take any part

 in the  election of the one or the     
other4 ,but ,i took the offered book1   
and then  ,i was inspired to study it   
with great attention1 and ,i was        
astonished1  that in the falsely called 
,republican party the large number of   
those  who are for the ,republican      
against the monarchial cause1 could be  
so  duped and deceived by miserable     
speculators and monarchial agents as to 
accept ,col4 ,fremont as their          
,candidate for ,presidency4 ,here is not
 the  place to show by the testimonies  
which are contained in the book         
published by ,horace ,greeley for a     
recommendation of his ,presidential     
,candidate ,fremont1 what this man is4  
,the testimonies were not understood  by
 the ,republicans who are so obscured by
 the ,papal ,imperial ,royal  magnetism1
 that although they have eyes1 they do  
not see matters of this  kind4 ,i make  
only the general remark1 that the       
,united ,states would have  been already
 burning in revolutions and wars not for

 the ,republican but  for the monarchial
 cause1 if ,fremont had been elected    
,president4    ,after the perusal of    
that book ,i read also the book         
published by  ,democrats for ,buchanan's
 election4 ,then ,i understood that not 
only the  ,heavenly congress who do not 
deprive men of their free will although 
they control their actions for the final
 triumph of the true ,republican  cause1
 but that also ,i was in duty bound to  
enlighten ,citizens of  ,pennsylvania1  
who had to decide the ,presidential     
election1 that they  might know ,fremont
 and ,buchanan1 as they must be known   
for the welfare  of the country4 ,i did 
it when ,i had an opportunity4 ,a short 
time after  that ,i heard a speech of   
,hon4 ,burlingame1 which contained a    
heap of  burlygames1 and                
misrepresentations1 deluding and        
instigating ,citizens  of ,pennsylvania 
against ,buchanan1 and soliciting them  
to vote for  ,fremont4 ,then ,i wrote   
what ,i thought proper1 that it was used

 by others1  and under the control of   
our ,heavenly leaders good and bad      
people1 those  who co-operated in truth 
with us1 without any other interest     
except the  interest of nations1 as well
 as those who co-operated for their     
private  interest1 contributed their    
share for ,buchanan's election according
 to  the merciful ,divine ,benignity1   
that we could peaceably prepare people  
for the ,new ,era until this hour under 
his administration1 and warn the        
inhabitants of the ,united ,states1 that
 they should lose no time to avert  the 
impending judgments1 which would have   
already effected a general  destruction 
without hope of escape1 except by blind 
submission to  tyrants1 if the falsely  
called ,republicans who have been made  
blind  tools of the monarchial          
speculations1 had succeeded with the    
intrusion  of their candidate upon the  
,presidential ,chair4 ,if ,president    
,buchanan  and the ,american ,nation    
should continue in their course until   

the  impending general judgments would  
destroy the country1 then also in this  
most deplorable case1 my inscription of 
this treatise would remain true1  and   
nobody else but the ,american ,nation   
should be blamed1 that they  neglected  
to make use of the divine mercy and the 
divine benignity1 by  virtue of which   
they should have at least during        
,buchanan's  administration until now   
made use of the precious time1 and      
spread our  message for the pacification
 of the world4    ,the explanation of   
the given hints and what is connected   
with them1  would need a large and      
special volume2 but we have mentioned   
here as  much as sufficient1 and remark 
that if ,mr4 ,horace ,greeley and       
,readers of  the ,tribune1 are desirous 
to know their great hero ,col4 ,fremont1
 as he  is exhibited in my above        
mentioned treatise1 ,i will extract out 
of it  the passages which belong to him 
and to the slanderers and abusers of    
,president ,buchanan1 and send them to  

be published in the ,new-,york  ,tribune
 with such remarks of the ,editors as   
they would think proper to  add1 under  
the condition to publish then also my   
answers to their  remarks as ,i should  
think proper to make additions for a    
wholesome  instruction to the ,editors  
and ,readers of the ,tribune1 that they 
might  be delivered from the delusion by
 which the ,true ,republican cause is   
ruined4    ,if they are anxious to know 
truth1 they will understand this book   
and  determine to act with us for the   
redemption of nations from the          
monarchial ,powers4 ,in this case they  
are requested to write to me under  the 
directions which are given in the proper
 place of this book1 and  assure me in  
their writing1 that they accept the     
proposition1 and are  determined to     
co-operate with us for the introduction 
of the promised  ,new ,era of ,harmony  
and ,peace1 in which ,publishers and    
,editors will have  nobler occupations  
than they have at present in the        

servitude laboring  hard for the support
 of the ,beast and its ten ,horns4 ,this
 was to be  mentioned in this connection
 in regard to ,hon4 ,horace ,greeley and
 the  ,new-,york ,tribune4 ,but the     
parties of the so-called ,republicans   
and  ,abolitionists will receive in an  
other treatise of this book             
extraordinary lessons1 that they might  
at length commence to co-operate  with  
us for the introduction of the          
,millennial glory4 ,many of them have   
abused and misrepresented me in my      
mission4 ,therefore ,i do not marvel    
that they have abused and misrepresented
 also ,president ,buchanan not  only    
during the campaign1 but also during his
 administration4 ,we have  made urgent  
appeals to him1 to make use of our      
message against the  enemies of this    
,republic2 but he has neglected to do   
so1 or perhaps my  documents did not    
reach himself1 or the neglect must be   
attributed  rather to his enemies than  
to him4 ,they would not hear me1 and    

probably  they would not have heard him4
 ,matters have to come so far as they   
are  made manifest in this book4 ,after 
the ,crusade of professed ,monarchists  
in ,europe became as manifest1 as there 
is the ,crusade of ,abolitionists  and  
false ,republicans against him manifest 
in ,america1 we expect that  ,president 
,buchanan will comprehend at length our 
mission1 and endeavor  to arrive upon   
our ground to become the great ,apostle 
of the ,new ,era4 ,if  he comprehends   
this book and makes use of our weapons  
of the spirit1 he  will be a partaker of
 the great promise1 and he will convert 
millions of  his enemies of all parties 
and sects into his true friends1 and    
those  who will not be converted1 will  
be destroyed4 ,moses and other ,prophets
  of the ,old ,testament1 ,christ and   
his ,apostles and ,prophets through the 
course of centuries of the ,christian   
,era as well as of this time1 have      
testified our mission1 and signs are    
continuously repeated1 announcing  the  

final victory of the cause entrusted to 
our mission1 as those who  will study   
this book thoroughly1 will be convinced 
of this unexpected  assertion4 ,but here
 for the close of this treatise we      
remark for the  peculiar use to         
,president ,buchanan and others who are 
invited to become  our fellow laborers  
in the true ,republican or true         
,christian against the  ,monarchial or  
,antichristian cause1 that in the second
 and third chapters  of the ,,revelation
 the seven churches are typical symbols 
of the seven  states of the church1 and 
that to one or the other of these states
 each  church of the christian name can 
be reduced1 from the time the           
,revelation has been published1 to the  
time in which ,christ comes or is  made 
manifest by our mission1 in which that  
is performed and disclosed1  which is   
needed for his peaceable reign on earth4
    ,in the second chapter of the       
,,revelation1 verses #ah to #bi is      
,thyatira the  type of the ,roman       

,catholic ,church4 ,in the #bdth and    
#beth verses to those  ,roman ,catholics
 who have not known the depths of       
,satan1 who has  brought them so on the 
surface and perverted the truth of the  
doctrine1  that they keep the shadow for
 truth1 it is said3 ,i will put upon you
  none other burden4 ,but that which ye 
have1 hold fast till ,i come1  ,,revel4 
ii3 #bd and #be4 ,they have to keep the 
heavy burden of ceremonies1  feasts and 
fasts1 and all kinds of other practices 
which are not  proficient to            
intellectual and moral perfection,f of  
man1 although they  are connected with  
enormous expenses for the support of    
,priests and many  others1 and for all  
the buildings1 vessels1 and all kinds of
  instruments1 not knowing what is in   
their depth1 till ,christ comes4 ,and   
then it is said2 and he that overcometh 
and keeps my works unto the  end1 to him
 will ,i give power over the nations3   
and he shall rule them  with a rod of   
iron2 as the vessels of a potter shall  

they be broken to  shivers3 even as ,i  
received of my ,father4 ,and will ,i    
give him the  morning star1 ,,revel4 ii3
 #bf1 #bg and #bh4    ,here in the      
quoted verses at ,christ's coming       
,christ's relation to him  who          
overcometh1 is such as the relation of a
 father to his son1 who  inherits from  
the father all things which the father  
possesses4 ,christ  has not been known  
in the churches of ,babylon1 as he is   
made known in  our mission to introduce 
the ,new ,jerusalem4 ,christ in his     
appearance in  flesh was the ,head1 that
 is the representative of his body of   
followers2  but they could not establish
 his peaceable reign4 ,it was necessary1
 that  through the course of centuries  
matters should be so developed1 as      
,prophets of the ,bible as well as in   
the subsequent ages did prophesy2  and  
,i1 to be qualified for my present      
mission1 had to go not only  through the
 usual studies of the ,roman ,catholic  
,church1 but ,i had also  to study      

continuously1 with all sincerity of my  
heart1 the sources of  human knowledge  
and the investigations of different     
parties and sects1  to support the      
,roman ,catholic ,church against the    
assaults of her  adversaries1 and was   
found qualified to be public ,imperial  
,royal  ,professor of ,bibical          
,literature in that ,church4 ,in the    
charge of my  ,professorship ,i         
considered myself peculiarly bound to   
defend with the  use of the ,bible that 
church against all aggressions of the   
adversaries4  ,i did not know at that   
time1 that the spirit of my ,lord was   
preparing me  through all stages of my  
life for my present office4 ,but while  
,i was  investigating the depth of the  
burden1 of that church1 comparing it    
with the ,jewish and ,heathen           
antiquities and with the developement of
 the  mysteries of those antiquities    
through the centuries of the ,christian 
,era1 when ,i was duly prepared and the 
time of the last development of         

preparations for the ,millennial glory  
arrived1 ,i was called by  messengers of
 the ,heavenly ,congress to the works1  
which were to be  performed and         
explained by my instrumentality1 and1   
under the direction  of ,heavenly       
leaders1 who were most qualified to be  
my leaders in those  works1 ,i overcame 
all difficulties and ,i kept the works  
of my  spiritual ,father ,jesus ,christ 
unto the end1 until all has been        
performed and explained1 that belongs to
 the commencement of the  ,millennial   
glory1 or what is the same1 for the ,new
 ,era or the ,new  ,jerusalem4    ,and  
we1 that is1 the whole body of          
messengers whom ,i represent1 have      
received the iron rod and the morning   
star1 the two symbols of our  mission4  
,the first symbol testifies1 that       
nations which reject our  message of    
,peace1 will be broken to pieces4 ,we do
 not break them1 but we  announce to    
them judgments by which they will be    
broken4 ,but we are  laboring to save   

nations1 that they as god's people might
 come out from  ,babylon1 that they be  
not partakers of her sins and receive   
not of her  plagues1 ,,revel4 xviii3 #d4
 ,if people hear our voice1 they will be
  partakers of the ,heavenly blessings  
prepared for them in the ,new ,era or   
in the ,new ,jerusalem1 and while they  
will be saved1 their political and      
ecclesiastical systems as the vessels of
 a potter will be broken to  shivers4   
,systems that could not bring better    
fruits than those which  the political  
and ecclesiastical history and the      
experience of our days  shows1 are      
founded in delusion and deception1 which
 were generating  continuous destruction
 of human life and property and all the 
misery  which is founded in political   
and ecclesiastical follies4 ,but        
enlightened men and women of all ages   
and amongst all nations have seen  a new
 day1 and to us has been entrusted the  
,morning ,star1 the symbol  testifying  
that we have received all that is needed

 for the new day1 the  ,new ,era1 which 
our morning star is announcing4    ,all 
my published works and all my           
manuscripts are testifying1 that it is  
impossible to save this country from the
 yoke of monarchs and from the  most    
abject degradation and servitude1 by any
 weapons except those which  have been  
entrusted to our charge by ,christ's    
spirit4 ,and those who  study this whole
 book from the commencement to the end1 
in the same  order in which the         
documents are placed in it1 so that they
 understand  each portion separately and
 the connection of it with all that     
precedes1  to be prepared for the right 
understanding of what follows1 to       
comprehend at length the whole1 will be 
as convinced as ,i am1 that we1  that is
 ,i and all my visible and invisible    
fellow laborers1 have truly  received   
the great commission to move nations for
 the introduction of  the promised ,new 
,era1 which will be the universal       
,republic of ,truth and  ,justice1      

,harmony and ,peace amongst all nations1
 the ,dispensation of the  ,fulness of  
,times1 in which all in ,heaven and on  
,earth will be gathered  together in    
,christ1 ,ephes1 #a3 #aj4    ,readers   
must keep in mind1 that all that is     
written in this book is only  a         
preparation to the monthly theological  
course which is appointed at  the end4  
,in the monthly course the system or the
 chain to bind the  ,dragon ,,revel4 xx3
 #b will be explained and that will be  
made manifest1  which is mentioned in   
this book but cannot be explained4 ,and 
our  proceedings in that monthly course 
will be then published in different     
languages for a testimony to all        
nations1 to move them for co-operation1 
that all in ,heaven and on ,earth might 
be brought to ,harmony and ,peace4      
,president ,buchanan6 allow me to close 
this treatise with some important  words
 to you6 ,for you we need no more       
testimonies than those partly  printed  
partly written documents which ,i have  

sent at different critical  occasions by
 the mail directly to you1 if they had  
been handed to you1  and you had studied
 them with such attention1 as they      
deserved to be  studied by the          
,president of the ,united ,states4      
,those testimonies would  have been     
sufficient to convince you1 that no     
other weapons can be used  for the      
victory against your enemies and the    
enemies of the true  ,republican cause1 
by whom this country is overflowed1 and 
who in ,europe  are preaching crusades  
against you and the supporters of the   
cause  entrusted to your care1 except   
the weapons of ,christ's spirit         
entrusted  to our care4 ,those who are  
with the ,lamb1 called1 chosen and      
faithful1  will overcome the ,beast and 
its ten ,horns4 ,,revel4 xvii3 #ad4     
,this will  not take place with         
preparations for war and with armies of 
soldiers2  but we have the ,heavenly    
armies upon white horses1 ,,revel4 xix3 
#ad1 and  offer to all our enemies      

reconciliation with ,heaven and temporal
 and  eternal most precious blessings4  
,but if they reject the ,heavenly gifts1
  all infernal hosts are subject to our 
,heavenly armies1 and by these          
executioners of divine judgments as many
 of our enemies will be  destroyed as   
sufficient1 to move the rest of them to 
repentance4  ,although ,i could give    
thousands of instances of destruction of
 enemies  of our cause1 who have been   
cast into the inferior regions1 because 
they  have rejected the ,heavenly gifts 
offered them by our instrumentality1 ,i 
will mention only one instance for a    
peculiar warning to you4    ,a4,d4 #ahdi
 at our appointment of a ,latin         
convention in the ,city of  ,new-,york  
for an examination of the magnetic chain
 shown by our  instrumentality to bind  
the ,dragon1 ,,revel4 ,,xx3 #b1 ,i sent 
to ,president  ,zach4 ,taylor a copy of 
my printed ,english circular in which   
that  convention was appointed1 and a   
copy of my large ,latin letter1 taken   

from the copy which was directed and    
sent to the ,archbishop of ,baltimore   
to be read to all ,bishops of the       
,united ,states1 who were at that time  
assembling their ,synod in ,baltimore4  
,to those copies ,i added my ,english   
letter in which ,i addressed ,president 
,taylor showing to him1 that our        
message is as important for all         
political as for all ecclesiastical     
governments and especially for the      
government of the ,united ,states to    
stop the ,papal ,imperal ,royal or      
monarchial influence and to restore the 
true ,republican cause1 and that        
therefore he1 ,president ,zach4 ,taylor1
  was in duty bound to send to said     
convention qualified ,latin scholars to 
attend it4 ,in my printed and written   
documents as many items have been       
concentrated as would have been         
sufficient to move the ,president to do 
what was required1 if ,president ,taylor
 had been qualifyed for his post4  ,we  
have warned him most solemnly1 that he  

as the twelfth ,president1  should not  
be a traitor of the ,republican cause1  
as ,judas ,jscariot was a  traitor of   
,christ's cause4 ,but my warnings were  
not regarded by  ,president ,taylor4    
,after the destruction of the armies of 
those who were deceived in ,europe  by  
their leaders that they were fighting   
with carnal weapons for the  ,republican
 cause1 ,i wrote again to ,president    
,taylor showing1 that he was            
responsible for all destruction of human
 life and property1 which would  have   
been saved1 if he had not neglected to  
fulfil his highest duty  which has been 
shown to him in my documents2 but that1 
notwithstanding  this1 according to     
divine mercy1 to save him and by his    
instrumentality  many others1 ,i was    
again authorized to apply to him and to 
show1 what he  ought to do in those     
circumstances1 to open the way for      
spreading our  message of ,peace amongst
 all nations4 ,but when all my efforts  
to move  the ,president for an energetic

 action for the support of the true     
,republican cause remained without      
effect1 ,i committed him to the         
judgment of the ,heavenly ,congress4    
,on the #ith day of ,july1 #ahej1 at #e 
o'clock ,a4,m41 shortly after my        
arrival in ,cleveland ,ohio1 an ,angel  
of the ,lord1 a holy martyr1 came to  me
 and said1 that ,i should write directly
 to the ,congress and show that         
,president ,taylor had neglected to     
fulfil his highest duty and deserves  on
 this account the severest judgment4    
,after having finished my writing  on   
that day1 ,i was looking to find in     
,cleveland somebody acquainted with  a  
congressman to whom we could entrust my 
document4 ,but on that day ,i  could not
 find such a man4 ,on the #ajth ,i went 
to a free soil minister  with the       
expectation1 that he might know such a  
man4 ,that minister was  not at home2   
but his wife said1 that he had gone to  
the ,post ,office and  was soon expected
 to return4 ,he returned with the       

message1 that  ,president ,taylor died  
at #aj o'clock ,p4,m4 of the preceding  
night4 ,then ,i  understood the mystery1
 that my writing was not prepared for   
the  ,congress of the ,united ,states in
 ,washington but for the ,heavenly      
,congress1 and ,i have shown to that    
minister my writing directed to the     
,congress of the ,united ,states4 ,i did
 not hear before1 that the ,president   
had been taken sick1 although ,i have   
heard afterwards1 that his sickness  was
 very short1 and that his last words    
were1 that he was departing with  the   
consciousness1 that he had fulfilled his
 duties4 ,this is the  consolation which
 ministers of darkness impart to such   
destroyers as  ,general and ,president  
,zach4 ,taylor was4 ,if he had had any  
regard for the  lives of his fellow     
beings and for their true happiness1 he 
would have  understood my documents and 
have done what was his duty for the     
destruction of the ,beast1 its image and
 the false prophet1 which destroy  every

 year an enormous amount of human life  
and property4 ,although ,i  have        
mentioned in this treatise several      
strange facts1 some of the  following   
will appear more strange2 but they will 
be the more  comprehended1 the more this
 whole book shall be understood4 ,not   
only the  order which ,i received in the
 morning of the day on which ,zach4     
,taylor  departed1 to write to the      
congress that he had neglected to       
fulfill his  highest duty1 but also the 
day and hour1 in which he daparted1 were
 most  suitable for the celebration of  
the mystery of ,zach4 ,taylor's death1  
and  the tremendous fire in             
,philadelphia at #d o'clock ,p4,m4 or #f
 hours before  ,taylor's death1 was a   
prophetical precursor of his death4 ,in 
that fire a  number of persons were     
killed by a terrible powder explosion   
commemorating the fact that the         
privileged murderer had been nominated  
,president in that city4 ,all that      
happened by the dreadful influence of   

infernal demons under the control of    
messengers from our congress1 who  have 
given at the exact hours on the proper  
day signs of a great  warning4 ,as soon 
as ,i heard of ,president ,taylor's     
death1 ,i understood1  that ,i was      
ordered to write to the ,heavenly       
,congress of the ,united  ,states1 that 
is1 the congress of the holy prophets   
and martyrs who have  the commission to 
unite finally all states of all         
governments on the  globe in ,christ's  
peaceable reign or the universal        
,republic of ,truth and  ,justice1      
according to the prophecies which have  
been given by their  mediumship1 while  
they were yet in their mortal bodies4   
,my writing to  the congress was copied 
by one of our departed messengers1 and  
when  ,president ,taylor departed1 my   
writing was shown to him4 ,such things  
would not appear strange to ,bible      
readers1 if they would understand what  
they read4 ,here is no room to explain  
the actions of the departed1  amongst   

which there is also writing and reading4
 ,when the departed  ,president was     
reading my document showing that he had 
neglected to  fulfil his highest duty1  
his animal passion of murder was        
aroused1 to  kill the writer4 ,that     
privilege was granted to him only under 
the  condition1 if he succeeds by taking
 a toad in possession1 and by its       
instrumentality poisoning the water of  
the well at the house in which ,i  used 
to stop4 ,the water was poisoned2 the   
prophetess and her husband  with whom ,i
 boarded1 when ,i was in that section of
 the country1 were by  drinking the     
water1 taken sick1 and they recovered as
 soon as they  ceased to use the water1 
but they could not catch the toad4 ,it  
happened  before my arrival with them4  
,and when ,i arrived in their house and 
would  drink of that excellent water1   
they warned me4 ,but ,i did not care    
about  their warning and drank1 and was 
straightway taken sick and continued to 
be sick1 till a ,heavenly messenger came

 at the right hour and took the         
sickness away4 ,at length the toad was  
caught and killed the right day  and    
hour by the husband of the prophetess1  
who was a zealous ,democrat4  ,he was in
 many battles with ,generals of         
,napoleon ,i4 and killed men and        
animals2 but he assured us oftentimes1  
that he never had so much  trouble in   
killing any creature1 as with that toad1
 and never heard so  pitiful            
lamentations as have been poured out by 
that toad when it was  dying4 ,zach4    
,taylor1 when he was compelled to leave 
the toad and to  enter into the infernal
 regions of his inner life1 into his    
torments1  resisted as long as he could2
 but when the right day and hour came1  
he  could not resist longer4 ,if you    
study this whole book so1 as you need to
  study it1 you will not be surprised at
 such unexpected events4 ,you read  in  
the fifth chapter of ,mark1 that a whole
 legion of demons1 that is a  whole     
regiment of soldiers who have been      

destroyed in a battle1 have  been       
permitted to enter into a heard of hogs4
 ,but they could not remain  there1 and 
were compelled to enter into the depth  
of the lake4 ,and  ,general ,taylor who 
had destroyed many people1 after having 
despised  reconciliation and apostleship
 offered to him by virtue of our        
mission1  was at length not allowed to  
be with a toad1 but was compelled to    
descend into the abyss4    ,i have given
 here only some hints of strange events 
which are in  connection with other     
events which could not be mentioned     
here1 nor can  we explain what we have  
mentioned without enlarging this        
treatise4 ,but  we have written a       
peculiar treatise in which ,president   
,taylor's spirit  manifestation by the  
instrumentality of a toad is            
circumstantially  explained in a        
manuscript which will be published when 
required4 ,but  here we have mentioned  
as much as we could in this confined    
space1 and  we hope1 that not only you1 

,president ,buchanan1 but also ,emperor 
,napoleon as well as your friends and   
enemies in general will reflect  upon   
such things with earnestness4    ,on the
 #bdth day of ,june #ahci1 ,i returned  
from ,philadelphia to ,boston  with many
 collections to write the third of my   
five ,german volumes1 and  to show1 that
 the memorable events which have been   
reported in my first  and second        
volumes1 happened according to          
prophecies1 as signs  testifying our    
mission4 ,when1 on that day1 as is      
reported in my #c;d  volume1 ,i was     
praying in my room and preparing to     
write the #c;d volume1  ,emperor        
,napoleon1 in his ,imperial splendour   
stood before me with the  invitation1   
that ,i might become his medium4 ,i     
looked into his inner  state1 and the   
magnetic outward splendor disappeared1  
and his inner  wretchedness and distress
 were manifest1 and he could not stand  
any  longer before me1 and1 with an     
explosion like a powerful thunderclap1  

he  left me and took the direction to   
,europe4 ,the title of my third volume1 
if we translate it from ,german into    
,english1 reads3    ,memorable events in
 the life of ,andrew ,bernardus         
,smolnikar4 ,third  volume containing   
the ,explanation of ,prophecies1 by     
which ,christ the  ,lord1 has confirmed 
that he has appeared unto us for the    
fulfilling of  his promises1 in order to
 restore his reign upon the whole earth 
and to  give his peace to all nations1  
and has at his appearance appointed the 
author as an extraordinary messenger1   
and performed by him all the  mysteries 
for the foundation of that peace c41    
,new-,york1 #ahdj4    ,we read1 ,put on 
the whole armour of ,god1 that ye may be
 able to stand  against the wiles of the
 devil4 ,for we wrestle not against     
flesh and  blood1 but against           
principalities1 against the rulers of   
the darkness of  this world1 against    
spiritual wickedness,g in high places4  
,,ephes4 vi3  #aa and #ab4 ,these are   

the secret enemies whom we must know1   
and we must  stand on a ground1 on which
 they cannot come1 and from which we    
will  conquer them4 ,when ,napoleon was 
allowed to approach me with the         
invitation1 that ,i should follow him1  
that is1 that ,i should become his      
medium1 he was allowed in a like manner1
 as the tempter or devil in the  #dth   
chapter of ,,matthew was allowed to     
tempt ,jesus4 ,napoleon was one of  the 
dragons or devils1 who was permitted to 
do so for a great  instruction to all   
rulers on the globe4 ,there is not one1 
but there are  many dragons or devils1  
leading each his sphere of infernal     
demons or  degraded departed spirits4   
,you will understand the more the       
mystery1 the  farther you proceed in    
studying this book4 ,now is renewed and 
fulfilled1  what is written in the      
gospels1 and what in the ,bible was not 
understood1 receives light by our       
experience4 ,jesus could not descend    
from his height1 to become a medium of  

one of these rulers of darkness4  ,and  
likewise ,i could not do this4 ,this    
dragon1 this spirit of delusion  and    
destruction1 when ,i commenced to look  
into his interiors was made  manifest1  
and he could not stand any longer4 ,he  
was compelled to leave  me instantly and
 to be tormented seeking another medium4
 ,at length,h1  because our message of  
,peace has been rejected and people were
 so  degraded1 that the ,european       
,revolution of #ahdh opened the way to  
the  throne of ,napoleon ,,iii1         
,napoleon ,i4 could have this as a      
suitable medium  to delude and destroy  
nations4 ,and to this dragon so much of 
human life  and property has been       
sacrificed1 that for the celebration of 
the birth  of the ,papal ,imperial      
,royal ,mary on the #hth ,september     
#ahee1 thirty  thousand soldiers have   
been murdered at the taking of          
,sebastopol4 ,nobody  who does not see  
human affairs from our position1 can    
duly appreciate  the criminality of such

 a tremendous madness1 from which to    
deliver  ,napoleon ,,iii4 and his       
armies1 you1 ,president ,buchanan1 are  
able to give  us a powerful assistance4 
,i do not despair of the conversion of  
,napoleon  ,,iii himself4 ,when people  
descend so deep into the society of     
infernal  spirits that there is no other
 remedy than destruction of many to save
  the remnant1 then according to divine 
judgment people receive such  rulers as 
are connected with one or the other of  
the infernal dragons1  to inspire them  
with the infernal furies to destroy each
 other4 ,great  warriors are great      
mediums of the princes of darkness4 ,but
 if they are  reached by our            
instrumentality1 they when they are     
studying our message  of ,peace1 are    
drawing their leading spirits from their
 depth of misery  into a better         
condition4 ,napoleon ,,iii4 if he could 
be moved to study our  message of ,peace
 and to act accordingly1 could reach his
 uncle ,napoleon1  and draw him into the

 pacification4 ,what we mention here1 is
 explained  in our system for the       
promised ,new ,era4    ,this is the     
joyful message1 which is to be          
communicated by your  instrumentality1  
,president ,buchanan1 to ,emperor       
,napoleon and other  monarchs1 that they
 might study our message of ,peace and  
become our  fellow laborers to draw     
their living and departed friends into  
the ,new  ,era1 or the ,new ,jerusalem1 
which is to be introduced by our        
instrumentality4 ,and you1 ,president   
,buchanan1 are powerfully exhorted1  to 
prepare for the ,kingdom of our ,lord   
and his ,christ1 ,,revel4 xi3 #ae4      
,editors and translators of the ,new    
,testament were so ignorant of the  true
 ,christian principles that they took   
instead of the kingdom of our  ,lord and
 his ,christ the wrong reading the      
kingdoms in plural number2  but there   
will be one kingdom1 that is1 one       
government of our ,lord1 and  his       
,christ4 ,and this will be a true       

,republican government--to give         
explanations about which there is no    
room here1 but we remark1 that this     
great truth will become self-evident to 
those who comprehend this book4  ,and we
 expect1 that you1 respected ,president 
,buchanan1 will comprehend  it and then 
you will take the spiritual weapons1    
which are comprehended  in our message1 
for the conversion of monarchs into true
 republicans1  which is the same1 as    
true ,christians4 ,but in the first     
place bishops  and priests in ,america  
are to be moved1 to attend our monthly  
theological course and then assist us at
 the conversion of monarchs2 ,and  we   
expect that by your good example and    
your assistance bishops and  priests    
will learn at length to comprehend their
 highest duty4 ,matters  come to        
maturity2 but we will not expatiate1    
because we have already  extended this  
treatise so far3 nothing but our duty to
 do all in our  power for the           
pacification of nations1 moved us to    

write it according to  our mission for  
the redemption of oppressed humanity4   
,postscript to the first treatise4 ,i   
arrived the last time in ,washington    
,city at the end of ,march1 this year1  
#ahei1 and remained there until the     
#hth of ,april4 ,then ,i walked to      
,baltimore and wrote to hon4 ,hicks1    
,governor of ,maryland1 and invited him1
 to study the documents which ,i  had   
offered to ,president ,buchanan1 but he 
had no time to study them1  although    
they contain matters of great importance
 for all governments to  remove ,war and
 establish ,peace on the whole globe4 ,i
 mentioned many  items in my letter that
 ,i expected to move the ,governor to   
accept my  offer2 but1 received no      
answer4 ,the same time a great sign was 
given so  that ,i was sent speedily from
 ,baltimore to the ,western ,reserve of 
,ohio4  ,at my arrival there the ,spring
 was changed in a severe ,winter1 and ,i
  commenced to write during a great     
storm and snow on ,easter ,saturday1    

,april #bc;d #ahei1 a new treatise      
exhibiting wonders and signs in         
connexion  with ,presidents and other   
high ,officers of the ,federal          
,government of the  ,united ,states and 
showing1 how they are subjugated by the 
,beast with  seven ,heads and are       
supporting the ten ,horns of that       
,beast1 and that  there will be a great 
destruction of human life and property  
in this  country1 as there is in        
,europe1 if it shall not be stopped by  
receiving  and spreading our ,heavenly  
message of ,peace1 which is developed by
 our  mediumship4 ,since my public      
appearance in my present mission there  
was  continuous correspondence of       
memorable events connected with the     
,government of the ,united ,states and  
memorable events connected with the     
steps of my mission1 containing most    
solemn warnings to this ,government1    
and many striking instances are         
concentrated in said treatise which was 
intended to occupy the second place in  

this book4 ,but we found that the  book 
would become too large1 to be bought and
 studied by many who might  be attracted
 to study this and then to co-operate   
with us for the  fulfilment of the      
prophecy which was given by the         
disappearance of the  ,steamboat        
,president and all persons1 who were in 
it at the same time in  which ,president
 ,harrison died in such connexion with  
what was set in  type at the same time  
for my #dth volume1 entitled3 ,the one  
thing  ,needfull1 and with the documents
 which were at the same time sent from  
,europe for our use1 and explained in   
said volume in such correspondence  with
 the disappearance of the ,steamboat    
,president and the death of  ,president 
,harrisson1 that the prophecy contained 
in those events is  manifest1 by which  
the spirit assures us1 that he will     
sweep away the  antichristian government
 of the ,united ,states as well as other
  governments4 ,knowing this1 people of 
the ,united ,states and their  ,officers

 may avoid all the dreadful destruction1
 which is in ,europe  preparing the way1
 that at length governments and people  
will pay  attention to our message and  
learn how to establish perfect peace on 
the  whole globe4    ,after the         
disappearance of ,president ,harrison   
and of the prophetical  ,steamboat      
,president1 solemn warnings were        
repeated under all following            
,presidents in correspondence with what 
happened in our mission2 and in  this   
respect ,president ,buchanan is         
peculiarly remarkable1 and in said      
treatise memorable events of great      
warnings connected with his             
administration have been explained4 ,but
 we must delay their publication1  and  
every reader will find in the following 
treatises of this book  superabundance  
of solemn warnings1 that all might      
become our zealous  fellow laborers for 
the accomplishment of the glorious      
promises1 and  that especially          
,president ,buchanan might give to      

others good example and  come from      
patching the old house which must       
crumble to pieces1 in our  peace union  
and give powerful assistance for the    
introduction of the  promised ,new ,era4
 ,great mercy was shown through him to  
the country while  he is yet in         
,babylon1 but was quenching the fire    
which would have  consumed the country1 
if his antagonist had been elected      
,president4  ,therefore1 notwithstanding
 his having neglected the one thing     
needful  until this hour we expect1 that
 he will arrive at length on our ground 
and co-operate with us in building the  
,new ,jerusalem4    ,this treatise1 to  
which ,i add this postscript ,june #bb;d
 #ahei1 was written  in ,february last1 
and the tremendous war and destruction  
in ,italy broke  out two or three months
 afterwards1 exactly,i while ,i was     
explaining  the thrilling prophecy given
 by ,daniel or ,judgement of ,god       
performed by  ,sickles under the control
 of our ,leader in the #adth verse of   

the #adth  chap1 of the ,,revel41 having
 in his hand a sharp sickle4 ,he gave to
 the  destroying ,spirit the permission 
to seize the medium and to show         
prophetically what he will do in        
hundreds of thousands of cases1 if the  
right order shown in our ,plan1 will not
 be restored4 ,there is a depth in  the 
mystery of the unexpected tragedy1 in   
which all actors have most  suitable    
names and offices1 each for the post he 
occupies2 and the most  suitable spot as
 well as the most suitable day and hour 
were selected  for the performance1 with
 all the preceding1 accompanying and    
following  circumstances in             
correspondence with our doing on the    
same ,sunday  ,sexagesima on which this 
year the tragedy was perpetrated1 as    
well as  what happened in the preceding 
years since my first public appearance  
in  my present mission on that ,sunday  
,a4,d4 #ahch1 and the initiation which  
has been imparted to me on that ,sunday 
for my present ministry1 by the  martyr 

on the white cloud1 who has in his hand 
a sharp sickle1 ,,revel4  xiv4 #ad4 ,i  
give here only some hints2 but the      
explanation is given in  connexion with 
many other cases of a great warning to  
this government in  the treatise1 the   
publication of which must be delayed2   
for we expect  that the contents of the 
following treatises of this book will be
  strong enough to awaken the enemies of
 ,president ,buchanan to give us        
assistance to awaken him from his       
lethargy1 if he should not be sooner    
aroused to assist us to deliver them    
from their wrong course1 by which  they 
injure the great cause of the true      
,freedom of nations4    ,in the great   
ignorance in which people are regarding 
the inner life of  man and the spirit   
world1 they are reading many signs of   
the times1  without understanding what  
they read4    ,i mentioned above1 that  
,i started on the #hth ,april from      
,washington4 ,it  is to be understood   
that so many signs and wonders took     

place and so  many secrets were         
disclosed1 while ,i was trying spirits  
in ,washington1  that a book of this    
size would be too small to comprehend   
them4 ,on the  #hth ,april #ahei1 ,i    
finished all work which ,i had to       
perform in  ,washington1 at the same    
hour1 in which four men were1 all at    
once in  ,baltimore1 hung by the neck1  
till dead1 although the black struggled 
some minutes longer with death than his 
white companions4 ,as soon as my  work  
was finished in ,washington1 ,i started 
and walked to ,baltimore1 and  arrived  
in that city on the #ith ,april1 when   
all newspapers were filled  with reports
 of the execution1 and with biographies 
of the executed4 ,i  had to read the    
reports of that execution which belongs 
to the links of  the chain to bind the  
dragon ,,revel4 xx41 #b4 ,that reading  
occasioned my  above mentioned letter to
 governor ,hicks4 ,i thought1 that      
perhaps after  the execution of some    
champions of his party1 he and other    

leaders of  that party might be more    
prepared to receive lessons from us1    
than they  were prepared in former      
times1 while ,i was applying to them in 
,baltimore1 ,annapolis1 and in hundreds 
of other cities and villages1  exhorting
 and warning them1 to study our message 
of ,peace1 and  co-operate with us for  
the true ,american1 or1 what is the     
same1 the true  ,republican cause4 ,but 
they have despised our warnings4 ,at    
length matters  arrived so far that1 if 
all other warnings of this book should  
not be  sufficient1 we expect that the  
spirit manifestations which are         
connected  with that execution and are  
mentioned in the fourth treatise of this
  book1 will move them to become our    
worthy fellow labourers for the         
fulfilment of the grandest promises4    
,but we repeat1 that every reader       
should study this book in the same order
 in which it is written1  weighing with 
great attention and earnestness every   
sentence1 till he  understands it and   

retains in his mind all that preceded4  
,if you have  studied in this manner    
this treatise1 you are prepared for     
studying the  second treatise4          
,,second ,,treatise4                    
,memorable events1 by which the parties 
of ,abolitionists and       ,republicans
 as well as subjects of ,monarchs should
 be aroused for       co-operation with 
us1 to draw not only the ,president and 
the       ,congress of the ,united      
,states but also monarchs on our ground 
for       the introduction of the       
promised universal ,republic of ,harmony
 and       ,peace on earth4      ,as    
strange as our disclosures made in the  
first treatise may appear to  those who 
have neglected to observe the signs of  
the times1 they should  not be surprised
 who know that the time for the         
fulfilment of the great  promises in    
regard to mankind had arrived1 although 
all things seem to  run in quite another
 course than they expected4    ,in the  
#fth verse of the #adth chap4 of the    

,,revels4 the first of the three        
,angels spoken of in that and the       
following verses1 commences to deliver  
his message4 ,at the commencement of the
 last century it was known  amongst     
,german theologians1 that those three   
angels or messengers are  the three men1
 each of whom is representing a body of 
messengers by whom  the contents of the 
prophecy given to each of those angels  
are to be  fulfilled4 ,the first is     
preaching the everlasting ,gospel1 the  
contents  of which are given in the #gth
 verse4 ,gospel is ,greek evangelion and
  means glad tidings4 ,the contents of  
the glad tiding of his preaching is     
that nations should be converted from   
their idols to ,god the creator of  the 
universe1 and he announces that the time
 of judgment had arrived4  ,the         
commencement of this preaching took     
place with ,martin ,luther1 so  that he 
is to be considered as the              
representative of those1 who are        
comprehended in the prophecy of the     

first of those three angels4 ,but       
,luther and other preachers who came at 
that time and afterwards against  the   
,pope of ,rome1 and continue yet in the 
same spirit their work1 did  not know in
 ,luther's time nor afterwards1 nor do  
they know in our time  their position1  
except as they learn it by what is      
disclosed by the  third angel or        
messenger1 who commences his prophecy in
 the #ith verse of  the #adth chap4 of  
the ,,revel4 ,in the third of my five   
,german volumes1  published from ,a4,d4 
#ahch to #ahdb it has been shown that   
,luther had a  prophetical position1    
that is1 he was according to the term   
adopted by  modern spiritualists1 a very
 strong medium1 inspired and supported  
by  his leaders1 who were deluding and  
destroying spirits1 who did not know    
the true ,god and his ,christ1 but were 
prophesying judgments which took  place 
and continue till people shall be       
converted from their idols to  the      
living ,god4 ,the three hundred years   

from ,luther's appearance to our        
appearance1 were years of manifold      
developments preparatory to our         
mission4 ,although ,luther was born in  
,eisleben1 that means the life in  ice1 
because the fire of ,christian charity  
has been extinguished1 and  the spirit  
of persecution was nourished amongst all
 parties and sects1  notwithstanding    
this great preparations have taken place
 since his  public appearance till our  
public appearance1 and there is an      
admirable  correspondence between his   
actions in the sixteenth century and my 
actions which took place in the same    
years of the nineteenth century1  till  
,luther died on the #ahth day of        
,february #aedf1 which year in our      
century1 ,i mean #ahdf1 was the great   
tropical year for dreadful  renovations 
of judgments1 for the reason that the   
leaders of parties and  sects and their 
followers have rejected our message1    
which ,i commenced  to proclaim after   
having been publicly initiated to my    

present mission  on the #ahth day of    
,february #ahch4 ,we shall speak further
 on in this book  regarding the great   
event4 ,but we have mentioned ,doctor   
,martin ,luther as  representing the    
champions of ,protestantism against     
,popery4 ,their  mission is only        
prophetical4 ,on their position they are
 supporting  ,popery or ,monarchy in    
general and they are particularly       
supporting a  number of ,popish tenets  
regarding the ,bible1 regarding ,christ 
and his  mission and manifold other     
doctrines1 in which when they endeavored
 to  improve1 they generally apostatized
 farther from truth towards             
materialism1 than the papal ,hierarchy  
themselves2 but they were  continuously 
repeating the substance of their        
prophecy1 that people  should be        
converted from their idols to the living
 ,god4 ,but by all that  repetition     
parties and sects multiplied1 and there 
has been since ,martin  ,luther's       
appearance until this hour so dreadful a

 ,babylon1 or confusion  and delusion in
 social1 political and ecclesiastical   
affairs1 as there  never was before4    
,and while pious men were looking into  
the prophecies1  to see the end of this 
dreadful ,babylon1 ,doctor ,bengel of   
,wurtemberg in  ,germany was awakened in
 the first part of the last century1 to 
compare  for many years the prophetical 
dates of the ,revelation with events of 
the ecclesiastical history1 and has     
shown in his book1 entitled3  ,erklaerte
 ,offenbarung1 which means ,revelation  
explained1 that  ,christ's manifestation
 for overcoming his enemies and         
establishing his  peaceable reign on    
earth1 would take place about the year  
#ahcf4 ,john  ,wesley was not the author
 but only the copy holder of what       
,doctor ,bengel  has explained in the   
,revelation4    ,that ,doctor ,bengel   
was the #bnd angel representing the body
 of messengers  spoken of in            
,,revelation xiv4 #h1 has been shown in 
my above mentioned #c;d  volume1 in     

which it is made manifest1 that the     
mission of the #bnd angel  is as well   
prophetical1 as the mission of the first
 angel1 ,,revel4 xiv4  #f4 ,but in this 
treatise we had only to mention matters1
 which have been  explained in my quoted
 volume4 ,doctor ,bengel and the whole  
body of  messengers who came from his   
school proclaiming the coming of ,christ
  about the year #ahcf1 and ,wm4 ,miller
 and the army of preachers with him  who
 were proclaiming ,christ's coming about
 the year #ahdc1 and others  proclaiming
 it in some other period1 were ignorant 
about the manner of  his coming or of   
his manifestation for establishing his  
peaceable reign4  ,all these and many   
other things have been reserved to the  
#c;d angel or  messenger1 spoken of in  
,,revel4 xiv4 #i4 ,this is our mission4 
,the martyr  on the white cloud in the  
#adth verse1 having in his hand a sharp 
,sickle1 was my leader in what ,i had to
 perform in the ,roman ,catholic        
,church in the year #ahch as the #c;d   

angel ,,revel43 xiv4 #i1 representing   
the  body of messengers1 by whom the    
proclamation of the contents of         
,,revel43  xiv4 #i1 #aj1 #aa1 must be   
made everywhere4 ,and those great events
 and the  prophecies in which they have 
been predicted1 have been explained in  
the  first three of my above mentioned  
,german volumes2 and we have so many    
credentials or signs according to       
prophecies testifying our mission1  that
 while we were writing the fifth of my  
above mentioned five volumes1  we were  
repeating1 that sensible readers of     
those volumes were aware1  that five    
hundred volumes could be written1       
testifying our mission4 ,and  when they 
study this whole volume and comprehend  
it1 they will be  convinced of the same 
truth4    ,the third angel or the       
messenger representing the body of      
messengers1 by  whose efficacy the beast
 and its image and the false prophet    
supporting  them1 will disappear from   
the globe1 gives in the last treatise of

 this  book the plan according to which 
the beast and its image and the false   
prophet will disappear and ,christ's    
peaceable reign will be established  on 
the whole globe4 ,peace would have been 
already established amongst  nations of 
the ,christian name and they would have 
labored at this time  powerfully in the 
conversion of ,heathens not to one or   
the other sect  but into the peaceable  
reign of ,christ1 which will be the     
universal  ,republic of ,truth and      
,justice1 if those who have been        
exhorted first1 to  study our message of
 peace had fulfilled their highest duty4
 ,the first  who have been powerfully   
urged to study our message of peace and 
the  credentials of our mission1 were   
bishops1 doctors of divinity and other  
clergymen of all parties and sects where
 ,i had opportunity to reach  them4 ,but
 when they refused to fulfill their     
highest duty1 ,i was  particularly      
engaged to move abolitionists to study  
what has been  providentially prepared  

by our instrumentality to move          
slaveholders  themselves for            
co-operation with us to introduce the   
millennium or the  universel ,republic  
of ,truth and ,justice and ,peace       
amongst all nations3  because ,i was    
certain1 that if the abolitionists would
 study it1  slaveholders themselves     
would do the same4 ,but alas6 when      
,jesus was  explaining the dreadful     
condition of ,jerusalem1 the ,jews did  
not see it4  ,likewise also citizens of 
the ,united ,states do not see theirs as
 we see  it from the position of our    
mission4 ,the principal elements of the 
vulcano the eruption of which is yet    
latent1 are in leaders of               
abolitionists1 who are obstinate        
materialists refusing to make use of    
the means which are offered them in our 
message to extinguish the  burning      
vulcano4 ,they have lost discernment and
 judgment1 when it is  most necessary to
 make the right use of it1 to liberate  
the country from  the yoke of tyrants4  

,although ,i could write volumes to     
illustrate my  assertion1 at this       
occasion ,i mention only a little of my 
experience in  the ,convention to       
overcome evil with good1 and which was  
in the  newspapers announced under the  
specious title3 ,philanthropic          
,convention  to overcome evil with good1
 and which was held on the #ajth1 #aath 
and  #abth days of ,september1 #aheh1 in
 ,utica of the ,state of ,new-,york4    
,the  most influential persons in that  
,convention were ,abolitionists of the  
,garrisonian and ,gerrit ,smith's       
parties and ,spiritulists belonging to  
those and to the ,republican party4 ,i  
attended that ,convention to offer  the 
remedy against the pernicious effects1  
which are produced by the  wrong course 
which leaders of those parties pursue   
for destruction of  this ,republic1 and 
to show the course which all true       
reformers have to  pursue for ,harmony  
and ,peace of all nations4    ,that     
those who are concerned and their       

followers might be converted to  the    
true ,republican cause1 and all true    
,republicans might be  strengthened not 
to be deceived by secret and open       
servants of tyrants  and by deluding and
 destroying spirits and sectarian       
ministers of  darkness1 ,i find proper  
to insert here the article which ,i     
wrote shortly  after the ,convention1   
but ,i did not find a chance to publish2
 because we  are not popular1 when we   
dare to express so great truths as are  
comprehended in said lengthy article    
which reads as follows3    ,preparations
 for the resolutions to overcome evil   
with good2 also3  introductory remarks  
to expose the league by which the ,utica
  ,philantrophic ,convention was        
governed4    ,there are many such       
pretenders as the ,garrisonian          
,liberator of ,boston1  who1 under the  
specious pretext to liberate slaves1 are
 the greatest  supporters of slavery1 by
 rejecting the means providentially     
prepared  for deliverance of all men and

 women from the yoke of tyrants1 and by 
instigating people to ,revolutions and  
other sacrilegious enterprises to  ruin 
this country and bring it under the yoke
 of monarchs4 ,while ,i was  endeavoring
 in many places1 to move people to study
 our disclosures  regarding the divine  
plan for a peaceful abolition of all    
kinds of  slavery by co-operation of    
slaveholders themselves1 and for the    
introduction of the promised universal  
,republic of ,harmony and ,peace1  which
 is usually although improperly called  
the millennium1 ,i found them           
everywhere so deluded by the infernal   
league1 that they have neglected  to    
study the one thing needfull for the    
true freedom of all nations4    ,during 
my travelling in more than twenty of the
 ,united ,states ,i stopped  several    
times in the ,western ,reserve of ,ohio4
 ,i found more worshippers  of the      
,garrisonian ,liberator there than in   
other sections of the country  of the   
same population1 those places excepted1 

which are inhabited by  that sect of    
,quakers who are called ,progressive    
,friends1 who are  progressing very fast
 in the arts of the infernal league for 
the ruin of  the true ,republican cause4
 ,i arrived ,a4,d4 #ahdg at the ,quaker 
settlement1  called ,green ,plane1 near 
,xenia in ,ohio1 and appointed there in 
a  ,wesleyan meeting-house a            
,convention1 in which ,i proposed to    
explain the  signs of our mission and   
the plan according to which1 when it    
will be  understood and spread on the   
globe1 all kinds of slavery will be     
abolished4 ,i expected that ,quakers and
 other ,abolitionists of that  section  
of the country would take great interest
 in our movement4 ,but ,i  experienced  
afterwards1 that the small ,popes of    
that section were  against it1 although 
they themselves did not disturb our     
,convention2 but  a ,quaker and a       
,wesleyan minister1 both from a         
distance1 were so great  disturbers of  
it1 that whenever an important point was

 to be examined1  they directed the     
attention of the audience to other      
subjects2 although  that ,convention has
 been called for an examination of the  
points  concentrated in my manuscript4  
,when ,i saw1 that they were in         
conspiracy  with others in the          
,convention1 ,i myself dissolved it4 ,i 
asked then the  ,quaker preacher ,joseph
 ,dugdale1 whose residence was next to  
the  meeting-house of the ,convention1  
why he did not attend it4 ,he answered1 
that he received from the spirit what he
 needed4 ,i started from thence  for the
 ,western ,reserve of ,ohio1 and        
appointed in ,trumbol ,county a         
,convention1 and sent an article to the 
,garrisonian ,liberator4 ,in that       
article ,i assured the ,abolitionists1  
that from my documents which should  be 
examined in the ,convention1 it would be
 evident1 that we have  received the    
mission1 and that we have as credentials
 of our mission a  long chain of signs  
according to prophecies1 by which we are

 assured1  that we will abolish all     
kinds of slavery and monarchy by the    
power of  the spirit1 with the          
assistance of slaveholders themselves1  
when  abolitionists shall comprehend our
 message and spread it on the globe4    
,lloyd ,garrison1 the head medium of the
 infernal league1 has published my      
article1 but with such editorial        
remarks1 as were quite agreeable to his 
master1 the infernal ,holiness4 ,i      
forgot to inquire1 whether my article   
appeared or not in the ,liberator1 till 
on the first day of our  ,convention a  
man remarked that our ,convention was   
small on account of  ,garrison's        
editorial remarks to my article and his 
grand tent meeting in  the neighborhood 
at the same time with our ,convention4  
,i came from a  distance1 and was       
ignorant of the great provisions made by
 the infernal  holiness to retain his   
slaves in bondage at the appointment of 
our  ,convention for their deliverance4 
,the same man had a copy of the         

,liberator containing my article with   
,garrison's remarks4 ,they were read  to
 the ,convention4 ,then ,i made my      
remarks,j and the proposition1 to       
finish our ,convention so as to reach on
 the last day ,garrison's,k grand  tent 
meeting in ,lima1 ,ohio1 and proclaim   
there our resolutions4    ,we did so4 ,a
 committee from our convention went with
 me1 and we arrived  in ,lima at the    
,garrisonian tent meeting on the last   
day4 ,several  thousand persons were    
assembled1 and the first business after 
our  arrival was the reading of a       
resolution1 in which ,garrison and his  
fellow laborers were declared as the    
true ministers of the ,gospel1 in       
connexsion with a fatal blow to the     
ministers of other sects4 ,a general    
reception of the resolution was         
testified with yes from a thousand      
voices2 but when the contrary vote was  
required1 there was only my no  heard2  
but it was so strong1 that it surprised 
the whole audience4 ,i  added that ,i   

came to show1 who the true ministers of 
the ,gospel,l were4    ,we agreed with  
the committee consisting of three public
 speakers1 that  they should make use of
 the first opportunity to proclaim the  
resolutions which have been unanimously 
adopted in our ,convention4 ,soon  after
 my tremendous no one of our committee  
arose and told the  assembled thousands1
 that a committee sent from an          
anti-slavery  ,convention had arrived   
with most important resolutions1 to be  
publicly  read in the grand tent        
meeting4 ,the chairman replied1 that    
next after  the address of the man who  
occupied the floor1 they should deliver 
their  resolutions4 ,they went directly 
on the platform4 ,but the pharisees on  
the platform were anxious to find out1  
who the man was1 that gave the  strong  
negative vote to their resolution4 ,some
 amongst them knew me  personally4      
,therefore as soon as our committee came
 upon the platform1  the above mentioned
 ,quaker preacher ,joseph ,dugdale came 

to me inquiring1  whether that committee
 belonged to my association or not4 ,i  
said1 that  he should not ask me1 but   
the committee1 to which association they
  belonged4    ,one of the deepest      
,english investigators into the ,jewish 
and ,christian  antiquities wrote in one
 of his publications1 that there is no  
society  more like the society of the   
,old ,pharisees1 than the ,society of   
,quakers  is4 ,he knew them in ,england1
 and ,i know them in ,america1 and      
confess  that it is true in regard to   
the ,quaker speculators1 who have       
enslaved  the whole ,quaker society1 to 
be in their servitude and to prepare in 
their ignorance of matters the          
subjugation of the whole country under  
the yoke of monarchs4 ,joseph ,dugdale  
is the principal medium who was  carried
 soon after that spectacle to           
,pennsylvania1 and demons were          
powerfully operating through him in     
starting the sect of the  ,progressive  
,friends4 ,but at that tent meeting he  

inspired the heads to  be cautious in   
admitting our committee to speak4       
,therefore after the  address of the man
 after whom our committee according to  
the promise of  the chairman were to    
address the tent meeting1 another was   
announced by  name1 to speak1 and then a
 second1 a third1 and so on1 although   
our  committee were waiting on the      
platform from #i o'clock ,a4,m4 till #b 
or #c  ,p4,m4 ,at length the chairman   
announced1 that teams had arrived1 to   
carry  the tent from that to another    
place4 ,provisions had been made1 that  
if  there should be danger for the      
infernal league1 things might be        
prepared1 to break of the tent4         
,therefore when the chairman announced  
the advent of the teams1 another        
pharisee mentioned1 that the waiting    
committee had not yet spoken and the    
chairman said1 that they should  speak4 
,the speaker1 instead of reading        
directly the resolutions of our         
,convention1 undertook to prepare the   

audience by telling them1 that he  knew 
how to value the great zeal of ,mr4     
,garrison for the deliverance of        
slaves4 ,and as far ,mr4 ,garrison and  
others on the platform seemed to be     
pleased4 ,but as soon as he mentioned1  
that ,garrison is not infallible1  those
 who were ready for action1 commenced to
 break off the tent1 and  there arose   
such a tumult amongst the assembled     
people1 that nobody  could distinguish  
the voice of the speaker from the noise 
of the crowd4    ,these items may       
suffice1 to make known the infallible   
,pope1 the  ,garrisonian ,liberator1    
although ,i could write many volumes of 
extroardinary spirit manifestations in  
public and private meetings with        
members of that party1 while ,i was     
endeavoring to deliver them from the    
shackles of the infernal ,holiness and  
his armies4 ,but they remained so       
fastened1 as in their ,philanthropic    
,convention in ,utica1 which ,i         
attended because we had been informed1  

that the ,poughkeepsie seer1  ,andrew   
,jackson ,davis1 was the principal      
author of said ,convention1 or1  the    
principal medium of speculators         
calculating to extend the government  of
 the infernal liberator by using said   
,convention4 ,andrew ,jackson ,davis  is
 the prince of mediums of spirits1 who  
appear as angels of light1 but  when    
they are tried by us1 they are made     
manifest as dreadful deluding  and      
destroying demons4 ,after they had been 
made manifest to me by his  deceiving   
publications1 ,i tried several times to 
reach him personally1  and to show him  
his dreadful situation and how he could 
arrive on our  ground4 ,but his cunning 
demons carried him away from my         
presence4 ,at  length ,i met with him on
 the tenth of this month ,september1    
#aheh1 in  the ,philanthropic           
,convention of ,utica4 ,ira ,hitchcock  
was appointed  chairman4 ,his first name
 means in ,latin wrath or vengence1 and 
the  second name is in the ,english     

language appropriate to the important   
office which our duped and deceived     
friend did receive in said  ,convention4
 ,mr4 ,davis offered some rules1 to be  
observed in the  ,convention ,they were 
adopted4 ,one of those rules was1 that  
no speaker  should occupy more than     
twenty minutes1 except the audience     
should  desire1 that after the          
expiration of twenty minutes he should  
continue  to speak4    ,mr4 ,davis was  
called1 to open the ,convention with his
 speech4 ,it was  read from a manuscript
 and contained a very imposing and      
deceiving view  of the past and the     
present in the history of mankind4      
,since his reading  lasted more than one
 hour1 ,i asked after its close1 that it
 should be  decided1 whether those who  
open the meeting1 should be bound by the
  adopted rule of twenty minutes1 or be 
permitted to speak or read as long  as  
they would be pleased also when they    
misrepresent the history in such  an    
absurd manner as the speaker did4 ,no   

regard was taken of what ,i said1  and  
they proceeded in singing and speaking4 
,the afternoon session was opened with  
as long a reading as the forenoon       
session4 ,after the reading they        
debated1 whether it should be directly  
printed in a newspaper of the place and 
in extra copies1 or not4 ,it was        
unanimously decided that it should be   
printed1 except that ,i disturbed  the  
unanimous vote with a powerful no4 ,but 
when ,i desired to give my  reasons1    
that its publication would not serve to 
overcome evil with  good1 but to        
increase the evil1 ,i was stopped1 as   
being not in order in  opposition to a  
resolution which had been unanimously   
carried out4    ,for a better           
understanding of the spectacles which   
will be mentioned  afterwards1 we must  
remark the following incident1 which    
happened on  that day1 to wit1 somebody 
mentioned1 that there came many female  
mediums from a great distance in the    
expectation to be moved in the          

,convention by spirits to speak1 that   
therefore all these mediums should  come
 on the platform1 and speak1 whenever   
any of them should be moved by  a spirit
 to do so4 ,i think that others felt the
 absurdity of that  proposition1 which  
if it had been1 accepted1 would have    
created great  confusion and hindrance  
to the realization of their             
speculations2  therefore they did not   
respond to his suggestion4 ,readers     
should know1  that if not all1 certainly
 most of the heads and the agents of    
that  ,convention were spiritualists of 
the latest fashion4    ,on the afternoon
 of that day1 after singing1 ,i suddenly
 took the stand1  to make use of the    
twenty minutes time1 conceded by the    
rule of the  ,convention to every       
speaker4 ,i wished to show1 that nobody 
in the  ,convention touched the root of 
the evil2 and that when others have     
neglected to study our message of       
,peace1 which shows that root and how   
to extirpate it1 at length spiritualists

 have been urged to do so4 ,but  they1  
instead of progressing and learning by  
our message1 how to  overcome evil with 
good1 were attached to evil spirits1 and
 they deluded  people regarding our     
message of ,peace1 when we endeavored to
 move them  to study it and act         
accordingly4 ,instead of many instances 
of our  experience testifying this1 ,i  
would mention only my experience at the 
last public meeting of spiritualists    
which ,i attended in the ,city of ,new  
,york4 ,a female medium whose lying     
spirits were exposed by me in a public  
meeting of spiritualists in             
,philadelphia on the first day of the   
last  month 7,august #aheh7 came on the 
#bb;d of the same month to a meeting of 
spiritualists in ,new-,york1 in which   
meeting ,i spoke4 ,during my speech  the
 demon by whom she was possessed1       
propelled her three times to stop  my   
speech4 ,but when he was rebuked so     
terribly1 that her friends could  not   
bear any longer1 they awakened her from 

her sleep and carried her  out of the   
hall4 ,but as soon as ,i ceased to      
speak1 she returned2 and the  demon shut
 instantly her eyes1 and said through   
her1 that ,i am a ,judas  ,jscariot1 a  
,jesuit1 an emissary of the ,pope1 c4   
,the chairman was  induced1 to ask the  
name of the spirit2 but he refused to   
tell his name4  ,then he said through   
his medium1 that he is ,donquixote      
,thomas ,paine4  ,the first name he     
pronounced so that ,i knew by the       
pronunciation1 who  amongst my departed 
friends was the controller of the lying 
spirit1 by  whom the medium was         
possessed4 ,my departed friend compelled
 him in the  first place to tell1 that  
he was ,don ,quixote1 known as the hero 
in the  celebrated ,spanish romance or  
fable called ,don ,quixote4 ,a similar  
fiction was also the speech of the demon
 by whom that medium was  possessed1    
only that those who do not know me1     
might take the calumny of  the devil for
 truth4 ,after the confession that he   

was ,don ,quixote1 to  make which he was
 compelled by a higher power1 he added  
according to his  lying propensity1 that
 he was ,thomas ,paine1 although he was 
not ,thomas  ,paine4    ,when ,i desired
 to explain1 from which sphere of       
spirits that liar came1  ,i was stopped 
by a man crying behind me to the        
chairman1 asking him  whether ,i should 
be permitted or not to occupy an hour1  
while nobody  could understand me4 ,at  
such interruptions ,i strike sometimes  
the  impudent demons1 as they deserve to
 be stricken4 ,i think1 that ,i did not 
speak ten minutes1 when that            
interruption took place4 ,to draw my    
attention from the disturbing demon1    
,henry ,c4 ,wright jumped to me1  saying
 that ,i should not speak1 because ,i am
 not understood1 and he told  the       
audience that he knew me to be a good   
man1 but that ,i could not be           
understood by ,americans4 ,i interrupted
 him saying with indignation1 that  he  
did not know me and that those do not   

understand me1 who have ears  and will  
not hear and eyes and will not see4 ,i  
felt that the audience  were not        
prepared for further explanations2 but  
the truth is1 that while  ,i have been  
speaking ,english on more than one      
thousand places in  ,america1 those who 
have acquired some education and paid   
attention to my  discourses1 understood 
me2 but enemies of truth complained1    
that they  could not understand me1 or  
they made disturbance4 ,not to give to  
demons  any opportunity to enrage their 
mediums against me at the night session 
of that day1 ,i would not attend that   
session4    ,on the #aath inst4 at the  
first opportunity at the forenoon       
session ,i  offered the resolutions to  
be read1 for a better understanding of  
which  these remarks are a preparation4 
,but the chairman remarked1 that that   
was not the proper time for reading my  
resolutions4 ,then ,i kept silence  at  
that session4 ,but during the afternoon 
session ,i offered several  times my    

resolutions to be read4 ,but ,ira       
,hitchcock always interfered1  pointing 
to some other1 that he was in order to  
speak1 although ,i did  not see1 that he
 arose before me for this purpose4    ,i
 found proper not to attend any of the  
following sessions of said  ,convention1
 in which ,i have offered the means1 to 
overcome evil with  good2 but the       
infernal league hindered their          
communication to the  people1 and when  
the mediums of the infernal league      
thought1 that they  were removing evil  
and promoting good1 they were doing just
 the  contrary4 ,if we have the mission 
which is proved in many of my volumes   
and expressed at the end of the         
resolutions for which we are preparing  
readers by these remarks1 then all those
 who are hindering the  circulation of  
our message of ,peace1 are the most     
dreadful slaveholders  and destroyers of
 human life and property4 ,they keep    
people in shackles  of delusion and     
ignorance of what they should know1 to  

prevent  destruction of many and        
subjugation of the remnant by cruel     
tyrants4    ,i saw the report of the    
proceedings on the first day of the     
,convention  in two ,utica daily papers4
 ,i quote from the ,utica ,morning      
,herald1  ,september #aath1 #aheh1 the  
following passage regarding my first    
interference1 as follows3 at the        
conclusion of ,mr4 ,davis' lengthy      
harangue1 a ,german arose and said1 he  
hopes that those who opens the          
meetings1 speaks no more as twenty      
minutes1 or not6 ,i have prepared a     
speech on the root of all evil that will
 not dake so mooch dime as the  friends 
who have speak6 ,the devil1 that means  
calumniator1 by whom this  reporter was 
so possessed1 that he knew neither      
orthography nor grammar1  was not so bad
 as the devil1 by whom the evening      
',telegraph' was  possessed4 ,he1 in the
 service of the heads of the            
,convention1 calls me  the member from  
,germany1 also the teutonic individual1 

and what he  reports1 he so reports for 
the benefit of the infernal league      
according  to the wishes of mediums of  
lying spirits1 that ,i had to write much
 if ,i  would explain the cunning       
malice1 which is comprehended in the    
misrepresentations and lies in regard to
 the exertions which ,i made to  move   
the ,philanthropic ,convention to an    
investigation of my written  documents  
showing that which is first necessary to
 overcome evil with  good4 ,but here not
 being room1 ,i quote only the following
 passage1 which  the ,telegraph has     
published as my saying3 ,i knew ,don ,ke
 ,shott2 some  call him ,don ,quixote1  
but ,i call him ,don ,ke ,shott4 ,i can 
tell you all  about him4    ,mediums of 
lying and destroying spirits have been  
brought to that  ,convention from the   
,cities of ,new-,york1 ,boston and many 
other places of  several ,states4 ,to   
deliver those slaves from their tyrants1
 ,i mentioned1  that at my last         
attendance of a public meeting of       

spiritualists in  ,new-,york a female   
medium was seized by a terrible devil   
who declared1  that ,i was ,judas       
,iscariot,m1 an emissary from the ,pope1
 a ,jesuit1  although after my having   
been from ,a4,d4 #ahai1 till #ahch a    
,roman ,catholic  ,priest1 ,i was       
working since the year #ahch1 according 
to my mission1 with  great zeal for the 
abolition of all kinds of ,popery4 ,on  
this account ,i  am abused and          
persecuted not only by the agents of the
 grand ,pope of  ,rome1 but also by such
 small ,popes1 as have been assembled in
 said  ,philanthropic ,convention as    
well as by their reporters4 ,i mentioned
 in  my address1 that the lying spirit  
who said through the female medium1     
that ,i am a ,judas ,iscariot,m1 a      
,jesuit1 an emissary from the ,pope1    
did confess then1 that he is ,don       
,quixote ,thomas ,paine4 ,but that my   
remark was then so terribly abused1 as  
the above quoted passage  testifies4    
,lying spirits are supported by speakers

 and by editors of  newspapers4    ,the 
reader should recollect what ,i said    
above regarding ,henry ,c4  ,wright's   
assisting his colleague interrupting my 
speech4 ,the ,herald  reports it1 as    
follows3 ,mr4 ,wright finally said he   
had known ,smollnikar  for some time1 he
 was a very worthy man1 but the         
,convention could not  understand him   
when he tried to speak ,english4        
,smollnikar--,they have  ears and will  
not hear1 they have eyes and will not   
see4    ,the ,herald has given here the 
substance and also the name of ,mr4     
,wright4  ,but this did not agree with  
the position of the heads of the        
,convention1 who have promised free     
speech1 and then one of the principal   
heads of ,abolitionists came as ,judas  
,jscariot to me1 and assisted the       
murderer of my message1 with a          
hypocritical address to the audience1 as
  if he was my best friend4 ,therefore  
instead of his name ,henry ,c4 ,wright  
there appeared in the ,telegraph a      

lagerbeer1 as if ,i had spoken so in    
the ,convention1 that intoxicated       
,germans themselves had found it        
necessary to stop me in my speech4    ,i
 did not see any ,german in the         
,convention2 but it would be too mild to
  call ,henry ,c4 ,wright a lagerbeer4  
,he is a ,wright or a workman1 an       
emissary of the infernal ,ira           
,hitchcock1 ,the ,latin word ,ira means 
the  wrath or vengence1 which appeared  
in the chairman ,ira ,hitchcock1 or     
hitch1 that means catch the cock1 that  
he might not cry and awaken  people from
 their lethargy1 to save the country    
from the infernal wrath  and vengeance1 
which is kindled by such emissaries of  
,his ,infernal  ,holiness1 as ,henry ,c4
 ,wright is1 a blasphemer of the ,living
 ,god and ,his  ,christ1 and a rebel    
against ,divine ,decrees made manifest  
in our mission1  but which have been    
despised by ,henry ,c4 ,wright1 ,ira    
,hitchcock and other  heads of said     
,convention4 ,those rebels against ,god 

and ,his ,christ had  many years ago    
opportunity to learn the ,divine        
,decrees for redemption of  oppressed   
humanity2 but they have conspired also  
in their last  ,convention1 to check    
their proclamation and to open the      
infernal crater  of a volcano to destroy
 the country by rebellion and other     
crimes1 which  have been openly defended
 by ,henry ,c4 ,wright and others in    
that  ,convention1 in which by our      
mission the means were offered to       
abolish  all kinds of slavery in a      
peaceable manner4    ,in my signature at
 the end of the resolutions as well as  
in my  publications1 you find my name   
correctly written4 ,but the mentioned   
reporters were mediums of deluding and  
destroying spirits by whom they  were   
magnetized and were made deaf and blind1
 so that they thought1 ,i  was a        
,german2 although they should have so   
much sense of discernment1  and         
judgment1 as to know from my            
pronunciation1 that ,i am not a ,german4

  ,if ,i had been a ,german1 ,i could   
not have received,n the mission with    
which ,i am charged--because the        
messenger in the mission with which ,i  
am charged1 must come1 according to     
prophecies1 from the ,slavonian  nation1
 from the country called ,illyria or    
,illyricum1 from the town1  named in my 
mother tongue ,kamnik1 in ,greek and    
,latin ,lithopolis1 in  ,german ,stein1 
in ,english ,stone4    ,against the     
impudence with which also my language   
was so terribly  misrepresented there is
 no room to make more than this remark3 
,a4,d4 #ahce1 ,i wrote a ,latin treatise
 ,on the congeniality of languages1     
showing how by the comparative study of 
languages many deep truths for  the     
introduction of ,christ's peaceable     
,reign or of the universal  ,republic of
 ,truth and ,justice would be           
unravelled4 ,before ,i was  qualified to
 write such a treatise1 ,i had to study 
many ancient and  modern languages1 some
 more thoroughly1 and some only by      

looking over  the grammar and           
dictionary4 ,here is no room to explain 
the reasons1 why  ,i devoted1 before    
writing said treatise1 only some few    
hours and learned  more than the ,herald
 and the ,telegraph and other scoffers  
of our mission  have learned all their  
life time regarding the etymology of    
their own  ,english mother tongue4 ,if  
they cannot comprehend this our         
assertion  without our explanation1 ,i  
am ready to explain it in an article1 if
 they  promise to publish it in their   
newspapers3 because it may awaken many  
scholars for co-operation with us to    
introduce the new ,era of ,union and    
,peace of nations1 who have in their    
ignorance of matters worked until  now  
for disunion of nations and for         
destruction of human life and  property4
    ,we hope1 that editors and          
publishers of newspapers1 who have by   
their  reports misrepresented our       
mission1 will not remain mediums of     
lying and  destroying spirits1 but will1

 as their duty requires1 publish this   
article1 and comprehend the importance  
of the preceding remarks as well  as of 
the ,resolutions which follow and what  
is annexed to the  resolutions1 to move 
the ,american nation and by their       
mediumship all  nations for action1 to  
redeem oppressed humanity from the yoke 
of  tyrants1 and that those for whom it 
would be impossible1 to publish the     
whole in one number1 will publish it in 
two or three numbers4 ,our  resolutions 
have been offered to the ,convention in 
the following words3                    
,resolutions for the ,philanthropic     
,convention to overcome evil with       
good1 held in ,utica on the #ajth1      
#aath1 and #abth ,september #aheh4      
,whereas the writer of the following    
resolutions did hear nothing in         
this ,convention of the general         
fundamental cause of the existing       
evils in the social1 religious and      
political relations of mankind1         
and according to his knowledge in no    

,convention of the so called            
reformers has this general fundamental  
cause been found out1 and       will not
 be comprehended by them1 till they come
 on the ground       which the writer   
occupies1 according to his mission1     
which is made       manifest in the     
documents which have been offered to be 
read in       this ,convention4 ,when   
those documents will be read and        
comprehended1 the following resolutions 
will be adopted3         ,resolved #ast1
 that the general fundamental cause of  
the evils which       are to be removed 
from the social1 political and religious
       relations of mankind1 is founded 
in the ,old ,heavens and in the ,old    
,earth1 that means the old institutions1
 which will be removed when       they  
shall be comprehended by true reformers1
 since the so called       reformers who
 are warring against those institutions 
from their       materialistic position1
 are supporting those institutions1     
because       they are mediums of those 

spirits who are subject to and          
controlled       by the ,papal ,imperial
 ,royal ,spirits1 so that materialism   
and the       modern spiritualism are   
the last outbreaks of ,popery1 and      
materialists and modern spiritualists   
are the means of the outbreak       of  
the worst evils1 which remain latent1   
till the materialistic       spirits    
come in collision with the rules given  
by their       controllers1 the ,popish 
spirits4 ,from this collision of spirits
       originate riots1 wars and other  
evils1 which will be removed1 when      
the pretended reformers and mediums of  
deluding and destroying       spirits   
will receive the light which has been   
kindled by the       mediumship of the  
writer4         ,resolved #b;d1 ,that   
the particular and in the exterior life 
of people       manifest evils1 which   
are easily observed by those            
materialists who       are falsely      
called reformers1 cannot be removed from
 the society1       till true reformers 

understand the real position of the     
existing       churches and the         
spiritualism in the churches as well as 
the modern       spiritualism out of the
 churches2 because without this         
understanding there is neither knowledge
 nor strength in the so       called    
reformers1 to effect the true           
reformation1 and to establish       the 
promised ,peace amongst all nations1 for
 which the means are       developed in 
the publications and manuscripts of the 
writer of       these resolutions4      
,it is expected1 that those who have    
called this ,convention1 and       those
 who attend it are not so blind that    
they having called a       ,convention  
to overcome evil with good1,o and       
granted freedom of       speech in this 
,convention1 this freedom being accepted
 by the       assembly1 would reject the
 good which is offered by the writer to 
overcome evil2 since the writer affirms 
that those who are anxious       to     
speak in this ,convention1 have nothing 

to say1 which has not       been already
 many times repeated in ,conventions1 if
 it is for any       use at all to      
remove evil1 but that the writer has to 
communicate       matters to remove     
evil1 which are not known to those who  
attend       this ,convention1 as will  
be evident1 if the two documents which  
are       offered to be read in this    
,convention1 and which have been        
written1       one the last month1 and  
the other during the travelling of the  
writer from ,new-,york to this          
,convention1 will be read publicly to   
this assembly4 ,the writer remarks      
especially in regard to the             
mediums of spirits by whom they have    
been brought1 to speak with       closed
 eyes in this ,convention1 that from the
 documents offered to       be read1 it 
will be made manifest1 that their       
spirits are deluding       spirits1 from
 whom the mediums will be delivered1 and
 enlightened       by spirits of ,truth1
 if they study with attention the       

writings       which have been produced 
by the mediumship of the writer who     
signs       his name and the charges    
which he has received for the           
introduction       of the ,new ,heaven4 
,,andrew ,b4 ,,smolniker1 c4 see title  
page4    ,neither this lengthy nor other
 shorter articles which have been       
offered  since that time to editors of  
newspepers did suit their taste in the  
general corruption of the press4 ,i saw 
since that time1 to wit in  ,december1  
#aheh1 again personally ,mr4 ,garrisson 
in his office in ,boston1  but he was as
 stubborn in his pernicious course as in
 former times4 ,i  called very seldom1  
when ,i was in ,philadelphia1 in the    
,garrisonian  antislavery office4 ,but  
it happened1 ,i think1 towards the end  
of the  winter season1 ,a4,d4 #aheh1    
while ,i was passing that office1 that  
,i was  impressed to enter it4 ,i found 
there a rich ,mulatto with whom ,i had  
been  acquainted for years1 but who was 
so chained by the ,garrisonian          

imposition1 that although ,i walked     
several times some miles from           
,philadelphia to teach him in his house1
 how our master had decreed to  deliver 
slaves by co-operation of slaveholders  
themselves1 the rich  ,mulatto had never
 time to study our message of ,peace1   
although he seemed  to burn with great  
zeal for redeeming slaves1 and he and   
his wife had  superabundance of time to 
attend antislavery meetings and         
conventions  and to perform all         
prescriptions of the ,garrisonian       
,liberator4 ,at that  my meeting with   
him in the ,anti-slavery ,office ,i     
understood from his  conversation with  
others1 that they had appointed a       
meeting at  candle-light of that day1   
and that that ,mulatto was by virtue of 
his  office president of that meeting4  
,i did not inquire1 for what            
antislavery purpose that meeting was    
appointed1 and without asking this  ,i  
said to the ,mulatto1 that ,i was also  
inclined to attend that meeting1  if he 

would tell after their meeting to the   
audience1 that ,i had a  message which  
would need no more than three minutes   
time1 and that my  message would not    
interfere with their meeting4 ,the rich 
,mulatto  accepted my offer4    ,that   
meeting was held in a large church of   
the colored people and the  church was  
crowded4 ,but ,i was quite surprised1   
when ,i understood from  their          
proceedings and harangues1 that it was  
an underground railroad  meeting1 in    
which they disclosed so much of their   
secret proceedings of  the              
transportation of slaves to ,canada1 and
 endeavored by their  revolutionary     
speeches to kindle the animal passions  
of the audience to  rebellion that if   
such a meeting would have been held in  
,france or  ,austria or several other   
monarchies1 all speakers would have been
  imprisoned in the ,state's ,prison and
 if not all1 certainly several of  them 
would have remained perpetually in      
prison4 ,after their meeting the  rich  

,mulatto chairman announced1 that ,i had
 to deliver a short message  independent
 from their meeting4 ,i mentioned       
briefly1 that ,i am a  messenger of     
,peace1 having superabundance of        
credentials for delivering  slaves by   
co-operation of slaveholders themselves1
 if abolitionists  would learn our      
message and give good example to        
slaveholders2 and that1  since there was
 no time for an explanation of the      
matter1 they should  appoint a committee
 to whom a manuscript of mine should be 
read1  containing that which those      
should know1 who are working for        
redemption  of slaves4 ,a committee of  
five colored men was appointed2 but at  
our  first meeting all members of the   
committee were not present1 and those   
who came to the first meeting were so   
distracted with other business1  that   
they did not pay attention to what has  
been read the first time1  and the      
others had their excuses to come again1 
except a ,mulatto from  ,west ,india who

 would have persevered1 if others had   
done the same4 ,but  he alone could do  
nothing1 because he was not a long time 
in  ,philadelphia and had not much      
influence there4    ,i have given here  
one case of my experience1 instead of   
hundreds of  cases1 how dreadfully the  
colored people are duped and deceived by
 the  heads of antislavery armies1 while
 these heads or popes appear to have    
great zeal for deliverance of slaves1   
although they are the cause1 that  some 
of them are killed1 and those who are   
brought to ,canada1 become  more        
miserable slaves than they have been    
before1 because they are  drilled in    
weapons to kill and be killed1 while our
 master offers by our  instrumentality  
to the anti-slavery champions the means 
to deliver white  and black slaves from 
all forms of oppression,p and slavery4  
,but there  are many1 under the specious
 name of the antislavery cause1 agents  
of  monarchs and traitors of the true   
,republican or true anti-slavery cause4 

,and those who are not directly bribed  
by monarchial agents for the  conversion
 of this country into monarchies1 are   
mediums or instruments  of deluding and 
destroying spirits1 by whom they are so 
blinded that  they1 really believe1 that
 they are working for deliverance of the
 poor  slave1 while they are assisting  
monarchs1 to enslave the whole country4 
,i think that our friend ,grerrit ,smith
 is such a medium4 ,we have tried to    
convert him many years ago from his     
delusion1 and after previous            
preparations which we have made in his  
house1 it was1 ,i think1 on the  #ahth  
of ,february1 #ahde1 7which is the      
anniversary of great events in  our     
mission17 that ,i met with him in a     
convention of antislavery  ministers and
 other abolitionists1 which was held in 
,syracuse1 ,n4,y4 ,he  was chairman4 ,a 
number of resolutions for operations in 
the antislavery  movements had been read
 and adopted4 ,then ,i arose and assured
 the  audience1 that if my document     

which ,i had prepared for that occasion1
  would be read1 they could comprehend  
that those resolutions would be for  no 
use1 and that better means have been    
providentially prepared for the         
redemption of slaves by co-operation of 
slaveholders themselves1 if             
anti-slavery champions would study to   
know those means and make use of  them4 
,the chairman ,gerrit ,smith asked the  
audience1 whether my document  should be
 read4 ,the majority answered ,yes4 ,he 
asked the votes of those  who would be  
against its reading4 ,some voices were  
heard1 that it should  not be read4 ,and
 the chairman ,smith said3 ,smolnikar1  
you have lost the  floor4 ,he was right1
 if the ,convention was ruled by those  
who had made  the resolutions and by    
their colleagues4 ,and ,i said1 that if 
they would  not receive light1 they     
should continue in darkness1 and ,i left
  directly4 ,at length rapping spirits  
broke out and had great influence in    
his house1 because he shut his eyes1    

when light has been offered to him  from
 the spirit of truth by our mediumships4
 ,i tried in different times  to move   
our friend ,gerrit ,smith to study our  
message and the credentials  of our     
mission4 ,but deluding and destroying   
spirits drew him in other  directions4  
,at length ,a4,d4 #ahed ,i tried        
particularly to move the  ,congress of  
the ,united ,states to appoint a        
,convention in which ,i  promised to    
exhibit the means to deliver this       
country from monarchial  influence and  
to establish the promised universal     
,republic of ,truth1  ,justice and      
,peace on earth1 and the credentials of 
our mission1 and ,i  applied to a number
 of congressmen in both ,houses to bring
 the subject  before their respective   
bodies4 ,at length1 when all others had 
neglected  to fulfil this their highest 
duty1 ,i applied to ,hon4 ,gerrit       
,smith1 who  was at that time in the    
,house of ,representatives4    ,i       
mention strange things2 but they will   

not appear strange1 if readers  keep in 
mind1 that ,i represent the body of     
messengers1 who are  collectively called
 the third angel in ,,revel4 xiv3 #i4   
,in this book ,i  give on many subjects 
only hints2 otherwise ,i should have to 
write also  a large volume of wonders   
and signs which happened1 while ,i was  
trying  in that year ,president ,pierce 
and members of the cabinet and the      
congress4 ,but if editors of the        
,tribune wish besides what ,i offered in
  the first treatise to show regarding  
their pet ,fremont1 that they might     
commence to be sober in forwarding      
candidates for high offices1 ,i would   
like to write also an other article     
comparing ,hon4 ,gerrit ,smith with     
,senator ,seward and to publish what    
happened while ,i was trying both in    
,washington ,city2 because at that our  
trial it was in an extraordinary        
mariner made manifest1 that although    
,gerrit ,smith was badly chained by  the
 spirit of delusion1 ,senator ,seward   

was found much more chained than        
,gerrit ,smith4 ,on this account our    
leaders moved me at the last campaign   
of candidates for governor of the ,state
 of ,new ,york1 ,a4,d4 #aheh1 and ,i    
was acting in my mission in that ,state1
 while ,gerrit ,smith was  proclaimed   
candidate by his party so that ,i wrote 
to him1 what he had to  do1 to be       
favored by our leaders in his course for
 a high office2  because the time has at
 length arrived in which our leaders    
will  commence to show publicly1 how    
they have the power to interfere in the 
election business of officers4 ,and then
 candidates for offices and  officers   
will commence to see the necessity of   
studying our message and  the           
credentials for our mission1 to become  
with us messengers of ,peace1  and      
people will commence to abhor electing  
such as are so degraded1 that  they are 
not prepared to study the ,heavenly     
message made manifest for  the          
redemption of oppressed humanity and the

 establishment of the  promised         
universal ,republic4 ,but how until now 
those who have been  solemnly warned by 
us1 to do what they as professing to be 
,republicans  and occupying high        
offices1 were particularly bound to do1 
have  neglected to fulfil their highest 
duty1 we will show with few instances1  
that those who will be named1 might     
arise from death to life1 and all       
readers might be inspired for           
co-operation with us1 since ,providence 
is  instructing mankind by so remarkable
 cases1 as are the following3    ,at the
 commencement of the year #ahef ,i      
arrived in ,columbus1 ,ohio1 and        
endeavored to move the ,republican      
anti-slavery ,governor ,chase and the   
,republican ,party which was the        
strongest in the legislature of ,ohio1  
to  co-operation with us to establish   
the universal ,republic of ,peace on    
earth4 ,for this purpose ,i wrote an    
address to the legislature and the      
citizens of ,ohio and sent the          

manuscript with an urgent recommendation
  to ,governor ,chase1 that he after    
having perused the manuscript might     
forward it with his recommendation to   
the legislature of ,ohio4 ,in my        
manuscript or my written address to the 
legislature as many testimonies  of our 
mission were mentioned as would have    
been sufficient to move a  man who has  
discernment in spiritual things1 for    
co-operation with us4  ,but the         
,governor1 after having perused my      
manuscript in which ,i urged  the       
legislature by virtue of the memorable  
events which have been  mentioned in it1
 to appoint a monthly theological       
course1 to which  qualified persons     
would be invited to hear the explanation
 of my  manuscript which contains the   
system for the foundation of the        
universal  ,republic1 and for the       
commencement of the ,new ,era called the
 millennium1  said when he returned it  
to me1 that he was not the proper person
 to  forward the manuscript to the      

legislature4 ,i do not know1 whether he 
would have entered into a discussion of 
the matter1 if ,i had offered him  to   
show1 that he was not only the proper   
person1 but that it was his  most urgent
 duty to forward my address to the      
legislature4 ,i thought  that he in his 
new highest office of that ,state was   
too much distracted  and was not        
prepared for our extraordinary business4
 ,wherefore ,i sent  that same address  
which was directed to the legislature of
 ,ohio1 to the  speaker in the ,house1  
and instructed him in an extra letter of
 his duty1  to forward my address to the
 ,house4 ,but he belonged to the        
,republican  ,party and had no capacity 
for what was needed to establish the    
true  ,republic of ,harmony and ,peace  
on earth1 and could not be moved to do1 
what was shown to him to be most        
necessary in his circumstances4 ,he     
returned my address4 ,from him ,i went  
to the ,lieutenant ,governor or  speaker
 in the ,senate4 ,he belonged to the    

,american4 ,party and by his            
application the ,senate appointed a     
committee for examining my document4    
,in that committee was a member of the  
,republican ,party1 who assured his     
colleagues1 that he knew me1 that ,i was
 a madman1 having come from  ,geauga    
,county in which ,i held a ,convention  
in the year #ahea4  ,notwithstanding the
 most malicious conspiracy of the       
,sectarian  neighborhood we succeeded so
 far1 that a number of resolutions in   
which  ,i have concentrated what has    
been explained in the ,convention for   
the  commencement of the millennium1    
have been unanimously adopted1 and then 
published with other documents for an   
easier understanding of the             
resolutions4 ,but materialists1 papists 
and other sectarians1 instead of  having
 reflected upon the unexpected glorious 
news made manifest in that  pamphlet and
 put them into circulation1 did all in  
their power that the  largest portion of
 copies of that pamphlet and the man to 

whom they have  been given in care1     
disappeared1 and the calumny was put    
into  circulation1 that ,i became mad4  
,and when that same calumny was renewed 
in the ,senate chamber of ,ohio1 ,i     
wrote a resolution1 to be offered to    
that body4 ,but members of the ,senate  
became so scared1 that ,i could find    
nobody1 to undertake to offer it to the 
,senate4 ,i wished by that  resolution  
to move the ,senate to give me their    
chamber for a lecture1 in  which ,i     
wished to explain the madness of those  
who instead of studying  our disclosures
 for ,harmony and ,peace of nations1 are
 slandering and  calumniating me1 and   
ruining this country and preparing it   
more and more  to become a spoil to     
enrich monarchs and their agents4       
,then ,i published that address and     
other documents which ,i supposed1      
would be strong enough to move the      
legislature and other citizens of  ,ohio
 to send qualified persons to the       
monthly theological course1 which  was  

appointed in that pamphlet4    ,here we 
must extract passages from the last page
 for a great lesson to  ,republicans and
 others that they might not be duped any
 longer by the  blind leaders of the    
blind4 ,that page contains a great      
appeal to the  ,governor1 the ,senate   
and ,house of ,representatives of the   
,state of ,ohio4  ,it was written1 mark 
well1 on the #b;d day of ,february1 as  
is mentioned on  that #cb;d page as     
well1 as on the pages #ca and #bi2      
because on the #bith  page ,i commenced 
to write a paragraph as follows3 ,i had 
to wait till  the composition of this   
epistle advanced so far1 that ,i must   
finish it  on this #b;d day of ,february
 c4 ,on that day ,i wrote what follows  
from  that passage to the end of the    
pamphlet4 ,and the great appeal reads3  
,fellow laborers in the great cause of  
human redemption6 ,if you have  studied 
this pamphlet with such attention as it 
deserves to be studied  you will accept 
this title with gratitude to the ,most  

,high1 that he has  chosen us in his    
mercy for the accomplishment of the most
 glorious  promises4444 ,the first most 
urgent work 7which the legislature of   
,ohio in those circumstances could do7  
is to kindle with this pamphlet a  light
 in the ,cabinet and the ,congress of   
the ,united ,states4 ',and ,babylon  is 
become a habitation of demons4' ,,revel4
 xviii3 #b4 ,the fall of ,babylon  has  
been proclaimed by my instrumentality   
for the fulfilment of the  first three  
verses of the #ahth chapter of the      
,,revelation1 on ,easter  ,sunday1      
#ahch1 under the direction of the       
powerful angel1 who was sent  from the  
,heavenly ,congress4 ,and since that    
proclamation1 the habitation  of demons 
on every place of ,babylon1 on which my 
message is rejected1 is  made manifest  
444 and the numbers of votes which      
members of the ,house of                
,representatives were casting since my  
first publication of the  'testimony for
 the superabundance of miracles1' which 

is reprinted on  the #ith and #ajth     
pages of this pamphlet1 are testifying1 
from which  quarters of pitfalls and    
deep holes the demons came who took     
possesion  of the ,capitol at the       
present session4444 ,on this #bnd day of
 ,february in  my ,country ,roman       
,catholic men and women bring each his  
own candle into  the church and burn    
them c4    ,i quoted these passages1    
written on the #b;d day of ,feb41 which 
was  ,saturday1 and given on the same   
day to the printer2 because ,i had an   
engagement on the next following day in 
the country and left ,columbus on  that 
,saturday1 ,feb1 #b;d #ahef4 ,when ,i   
returned on the next following week     
from the country1 ,i heard that on that 
same day ,february #b;d1 #ahef1 the     
,house of ,representatives finished at  
length their voting for speaker and     
that ,nathanael ,banks was elected      
,speaker in the ,house4 ,there is a     
spirit  language by numbers4            
,representatives in the ,house were     

casting votes  from the time in which my
 article ,testimony for the             
superabundance of  miracles appeared in 
two newspapers of ,cleveland and was    
then copied in  my pamphlet for the     
legislature of ,ohio1 to make use of it 
for the  conversion of the ,congress in 
,washington2 because ,i saw1 whenever ,i
  looked the numbers of votes cast to   
elect the speaker1 that members of  the 
parties casting votes were under a      
strong ,papal ,imperial ,royal          
delusion4 ,when ,i wrote the above      
quoted passages on the #bnd day of      
,february1 #ahef1 ,i did not know1 that 
at that same time they finished  their  
voting with ,nathanael ,banks as speaker
 in the ,house4 ,nathanael  means a gift
 of ,god4 ,and the name ,banks was      
prophetical for what  followed then in  
regard to the ,banks2 because this      
generation could  receive no more       
suitable gift than ,banks are4 ,there is
 not only in  numbers but also in names 
and in manifold other correspondences a 

spirit  language which we understand2   
and in this our mission events connected
  with our steps testify the condition  
in which those are1 who neglect to  make
 use of our message of ,peace4 ,the     
,governor and the legislature of  ,ohio 
did not care about our urgent appeal    
made to them in writing and in  print1  
and the same time in ,washington the    
name of ,banks announced the  terrible  
condition of this same country founding 
their trust in banks  and paper-money1  
which will be eventually made manifest  
with a terrible  crash4    ,after that  
experience made at the ,republican      
,legislature of ,ohio1 in  which we     
could not find assistance for the       
circulation of our message of  ,peace1  
and for holding our monthly theological 
course1 ,i remained in  ,ohio1 till ,i  
heard ,governor ,chase in a campaign for
 candidate ,fremont  assert with great  
boldness1 that he knew ,fremont4 ,i did 
not know ,fremont  at that time4 ,but   
after having studied as much as was     

required to know  him1 ,i pitied        
,governor ,chase and other ,republicans 
very much1 that they  either by         
ignorance of matters or by preferring   
private interest to the  common welfare1
 should have ruined the country and     
destroyed an enormous  amount of human  
life and property1 so that the ,kansas  
affairs alone cost  more than fifty     
millions of dollars4 ,all the evils     
would have been  avoided1 if ,hon4      
,giddings and his co-operators who have 
been most  urgently invited to attend   
the above mentioned ,convention which   
was held  in their vicinity in the year 
#ahea1 had not despised our invitation4 
,but at that time matters had not       
arrived to that maturity in which they  
are now4 ,and we write and mention some 
champions and leaders of parties1  that 
they themselves and by their            
instrumentality many others might be    
awakened from their lethargy and attend 
at length our monthly  theological      
course the appointment of which they    

will find at the end of  this book1 and 
learn that which is most needed for the 
support of the  true ,republican1 or    
what is the same1 true ,christian       
against the  monarchial cause4    ,i    
have sent to speaker ,banks a copy of   
the pamphlet1 from the last page  of    
which ,i have quoted above some         
passages1 on which page there is the    
admirable correspondence of the governor
 and the legislature of ,ohio  with his 
election for speaker4 ,but ,i think1    
that other trifling business  did hinder
 ,mr4 ,banks' comprehending wonders and 
signs contained in that  pamphlet1 and  
that he did not study it so deep as to  
comprehend the  correspondence of the   
contents of the last page of said       
pamphlet with  his election for speaker 
on the same day on which ,i wrote that  
page4 ,in  this book is no room to      
explain the language by numbers2 but we 
may  generally observe1 that the        
election took place under the spell of  
the  ,papel ,imperial ,royal spirits2   

and it was said1 that it did not happen1
  till a ,roman catholic priest came    
into the ,house of ,representatives and 
performed his prayer4 ,whether that     
report was true or not1 is is not my    
business to investigate2 but it is true1
 that the spell was taken away1  when ,i
 in my application to the governor and  
the legislature of ,ohio  wrote on the  
last page of the above quoted pamphlet3 
,you are requested  to cast so many     
copies of this pamphlet in the ,cabinet 
and ,congress of  ,washington1 and also 
into the legislature of each ,state1 as 
are required  to kindle a great light   
everywhere4 ,reference is made to the   
,candle-mass1 as the feast of the #b;d  
,february is called4 ,it is ,mary's     
purification and ,christ's presentation 
in the temple2 and that our  reference  
to the casting of votes for the speaker 
in the ,house of the  ,united ,states   
destroyed the spell and they agreed at  
length in the  prophetical name ,banks1 
with which there was already great      

trouble1 and  the greater troubles will 
follow the longer nations delay to apply
 our  remedies against the manifold     
enormous evils with which nations are   
harrassed and ruined4 ,i made some      
acquaintance with ,governor ,banks after
  my last arrival in ,boston in ,nov4   
#aheh4 ,i found proper to write to him a
  lengthy letter in which ,i assured    
him1 that if he would become a great    
supporter of the true ,republican cause1
 he would need,q some private  lessons  
to know what happened in our age for the
 introduction of the  universal         
,republic of ,harmony and ,peace2       
because without that knowledge  he in   
the present course of the ,republican   
,party would contribute his  share not  
for ,peace1 but for revolutions and war4
 ,i offered in that  letter to give him 
some private lessons in his house1 if he
 would wish  to receive them regarding  
our message of ,peace and the           
credentials of  our mission1 and ,i     
added1 that in that season of short days

 and long  nights there would be at     
candle-light good opportunity for our   
lessons4  ,i went then to his house in  
,waltham1 several miles from ,boston4   
,but on  that evening he had not yet    
returned from his office1 and ,i was    
informed1 that on the next morning would
 be the best chance to speak  with him4 
,i then went there but he had not much  
time to speak1 because  he had to go to 
his office1 and he invited me to see him
 in his office4  ,from that circumstance
 ,i concluded1 that he did not keep in  
mind the  contents of my letter in which
 ,i assured him1 that his office would  
not  be the proper place for our        
lessons1 but that the night hours in his
  house would suit best for our lessons2
 but then there was no time to          
expostulate with him on this point4 ,i  
started then for ,new ,hampshire1  and  
at my return to ,boston ,i wrote to him 
again1 that ,i intended to see  him     
again1 but not in his office which would
 not be the proper place for  our       

lessons1 but in his house1 that if he   
would be desirous to receive  lessons ,i
 would remain for some days in his      
village and give to him  lessons at     
candle-light4 ,i came then to his       
village1 and prepared one of  his       
acquaintances1 a zealous spiritualist   
who appeared to comprehend  easier than 
other spiritualists6 that ,presidents1  
,governors and other  officers cannot   
save this ,republic from the grasp of   
monarchs except by  the use of the      
spiritual weapons which are concentrated
 in my writings  for the commencement of
 the promised ,new ,era and that        
,governor ,banks to  use his influence  
for ,harmony and ,peace of all nations1 
had to take  lessons from me4 ,when ,i  
thought1 that the spiritualist partly by
 hearing  me partly by reading one of my
 pamphlets had understood the matter so 
far as necessary to move the ,governor  
to accept my proposition1 he went  to   
see ,governor ,banks4 ,but he returned  
with the message1 that the  ,governor   

had started for ,hartford4    ,i could  
not stay longer in ,waltham and         
understood from this circumstance  that 
,governor ,banks was not the officer1   
who would commence to open the  door at 
the government for commencing the ,new  
,era4 ,i thought that if he  would      
comprehend our message1 by his          
instrumentality the ,legislature of     
,massachusetts and by their             
instrumentality the ,congress of the    
,united  ,states might be moved for     
using our spiritual weapons against the 
anti-,republican powers1 ,i heard in    
,november #aheh1 in the night before    
the election of the ,governor and the   
congress members ,governor ,banks       
deliver his speech in ,chelsea ,city4   
,he affirmed that he did not speak  for 
himself but for his friend ,burlingame1 
that he might be re-elected  for        
,congress4 ,i heard this same           
,burlingame haranguing against ,buchanan
  and for ,fremont during the last      
,presidential campaign1 and understood  

that his speech was nothing else but a  
heap of burly games4 ,mark well1  that  
in our meetings with remarkable persons1
 names are expressive1 but  sometimes   
their signification is so hidden1 that  
some letter is to be  changed1 to be    
understood4 ,the great heap of burly    
games spread in  newspapers and in      
public speeches against ,buchanan       
instead of studying  our message of     
,peace and communicating it to          
,president ,buchanan to save  the       
country1 prove nothing else except that 
this degraded generation are  preparing 
the way to such a tyranny as will       
destroy the largest part and  chain the 
remnant of the people in such a manner  
that no word will be  heard against the 
cruelty and tyranny which will keep them
 in slavery1  if they do not sooner open
 their eyes and make use of our message 
of  ,peace4 ,i thought,r1 that if       
,governor ,banks would be converted1 he 
would  convert also his friend          
,burlingame and act through him in the  

congress4  ,i came after that in        
,boston1 to the office of ,governor     
,banks to see him  there2 but ,i was    
told1 that he was expected to be in half
 an hour in  the office4 ,but instead of
 waiting at1 or returning to the office1
 ,i was  told by my leader1 that ,i had 
accomplished my mission in the ,state of
  ,massachusetts and was carried        
directly to other ,states4    ,wonders  
and signs which have been given in      
,boston and ,chelsea ,city near  ,boston
 at that my visit there1 are spoken of  
in the following treatise4  ,but before 
we finish this treatise1 we should      
mention somewhat regarding  the         
,governor of ,new ,york in connexion    
with the ,governors of ,ohio and        
,massachussetts4 ,we do not take any    
interest in the campaign for  officers1 
except when we are directed by our      
leaders to give in this way  a great    
lesson to nations3 as it was the case in
 the first treatise of  this book4      
,while ,i intended in ,summer1 #aheh1 to

 start from ,philadelphia for the       
,west1 ,i was directed by my leaders to 
,new ,york4 ,i arrived the same hour  in
 the ,city of ,new ,york1 in which the  
laying of the ,atlantic ,cable had  been
 accomplished1 and while spiritualists  
were rejoicing in a public  meeting at  
the success1 in the supposition that the
 success was certain  and that it was a 
great blessing for the ,united ,states1 
,i explained in  that meeting1 that the 
success would be a great scourge for    
this  country1 if people would not      
receive our message of ,peace and       
convert  monarchs into true             
,republicans4 ,my explanation was then  
confirmed by  signs4 ,after the exchange
 of ,president ,buchanan's message with 
the  message of ,queen ,victoria the use
 of the ,atlantic ,telegraph has been   
suspended by invisible agency1 and while
 the ,city of ,new ,york1 the great     
,babylon of the ,united ,states1 was    
celebrating the first time the success  
of the ,atlantic ,telegraph1 the tower1 

the cupola and so much of the  interior 
of the building of the ,city ,hall was  
destroyed1 as could be  reached by fire4
 ,and at the second solemn celebration  
of the success of  the ,atlantic        
,telegraph the whole ,quarantine with   
numerous buildings was  destroyed by    
fire4 ,the materialistic spectators who 
looked only on the  surface1 were not   
aware of the interior agency4 ,but in   
connexion with  these warning fires     
other signs were given testifying also  
in this  connexsion of matters the      
subjugation of this country by ,papal   
,imperial  ,royal or ,monarchial        
spirits1 while citizens of the ,united  
,states are not  yet aware of4 ,i wrote 
a peculiar treatise on those signs1     
which will be  published in due time4   
,there was a coalescence of strange     
correspondences1 ,while the ,queen of   
,england was celebrating with ,emperor  
,napoleon the tremendous naval          
exhibition at ,cobourgh1 for the        
subjugation of the world by monarchs1   

the laying of the ,atlantic  ,telegraph 
was accomplished and the ,president of  
the ,united ,states  exchanged the      
message with the ,queen2 and the        
destroying fires  accompanied the       
celebration of its success1 till at     
length also the  ,crystal ,palace was   
consumed by fire2 and the spirits who   
are subject to  ,popish prelates and    
monks1 announced the ,philanthropic     
,convention in  ,utica1 and the         
,archbishop of ,new-,york laid the      
corner stone to his new  cathedral by   
the assistance of six suffragan bishops4
 ,all these in  connexion with other    
memorable events happened according to  
the spirit  language of the prophetical 
calendar1 and ,i was directed to perform
  corresponding memorable actions which 
are explained in this treatise1  and    
amongst those actions here ,i mention   
the trial of the three  candidates for  
the ,governor's office of the ,state of 
,new-,york4 ,i have  already remarked1  
that ,i wrote to ,hon4 ,gerrit ,smith   

after he had been  proclaimed candidate 
by his party4 ,but when he was not ready
 to become  messenger of the ,new ,era1 
,i wrote then two lengthy articles1 one 
to be  used by ,judge ,parker1 the      
,democratic candidate1 if he would      
receive our  message1 and another to be 
used by the merchant ,morgan1 the       
candidate of  the ,republican ,party4 ,i
 do not belong to any party1 and ,i had 
only to  try spirits of the candidates  
for ,governor in the ,state in which is 
the  concentration of all monarchial    
speculations1 against which and for the 
true ,republican cause only that        
,governor could act with power1 who     
would  have so much understanding in    
spiritual things as to comprehend the   
substance of our message and of the     
credentials of our mission4 ,such a  man
 would be a blessing not only for his   
,state1 but for the whole  country4     
,both my articles have been written in a
 manner1 that only that  ,candidate     
could make use of the article prepared  

for his use1 who would  be convinced of 
our mission1 which ,i intended to       
explain to him  privately1 if he would  
take an interest in my article4    ,here
 follows only a synopsis of our trials  
of spirits at the two  candidates1 to   
wit1 the ,democratic and the ,republican
 for the office of  ,governor in the    
,state of ,new ,york4    ,according to  
the direction of our leaders ,i paid    
first my personal visit  to ,judge      
,parker of ,albany1 ,democratic         
,candidate4 ,he appointed a certain     
time for an interview in which he would 
be ready to read my writing and  hear   
what ,i had to say4 ,but when ,i would  
return at the appointed time1  my leader
 interfered and said1 that ,i had to try
 the spirits of merchant  ,morgan of the
 ,city of ,new ,york1 ,candidate of the 
,republican ,party4  ,morgan appeared to
 be shrewd as ,i supposed him to be2    
because otherwise1  having commenced in 
poverty he would not have become a rich 
merchant4  ,when ,i mentioned my        

business with him1 he replied that he   
had a  business1 which he must attend in
 the city1 and that his clerk who was   
in that room1 would settle my business  
with him2 and he left the room4  ,then  
,i talked with his young clerk and      
mentioned my former charges and  my     
present charge1 as far as he may have   
been able to bear1 and that ,i  had with
 me a document which ,i had prepared for
 that campaign4 ,i added1  that whereas 
,i belong to no party1 that candidate   
would be most  qualified for the        
,governor's office1 who would comprehend
 my document  and make use of it4 ,the  
clerk insisted1 that ,i should go with  
my  document to the editors of the      
,tribune4 ,but ,i replied1 that my      
document  was not prepared for the      
,tribune1 but to be studied and used by 
the  candidate himself4 ,but the clerk  
remarked1 that ,mr4 ,morgan would not   
have time to study it4 ,and ,i said1    
that if ,mr4 ,morgan would not have     
time1 ,i would go to ,judge ,parker2 and

 ,i assured the ,clerk1 that if ,judge  
,parker would have time to study my     
document and to make use of it1 he      
would certainly become ,governor4 ,then 
the clerk was moved1 that he  appointed 
the hour of the next following day1 in  
which ,i could speak  with ,mr4 ,morgan4
 ,i came at the appointed hour2 but ,mr4
 ,morgan spoke with  another man1 and   
when he saw me1 he went with his man in 
an other room4  ,in the mean time the   
clerk insisted1 that ,i should go with  
my document  to the editors of the      
,tribune4 ,i did not leave directly the 
room but was  waiting till ,mr4 ,morgan 
dispatched his man4 ,then without       
speaking with  me a word he went to     
other business4    ,after that my       
experience ,i thought that in our       
dealings with material  men we must be  
provided with very tangeable arguments4 
,i made shortly  before that trial      
acquaintance with a stubborn materialist
 in the ,city  of ,new ,york4 ,he had   
great influence upon people of certan   

classes1 and  had all his trust in      
weapons of iron to put down monarchs4 ,i
 found him  accessible at the point of  
human magnetism and convinced him by    
degrees  so far1 that he confessed that 
the weapons of the spirit were the right
  weapons to overcome the monarchial    
powers4 ,he was1 when ,i made           
acquaintance with him1 running against  
,judge ,parker4 ,but ,i came after my   
trial of ,mr4 ,morgan to him1 showing   
that ,judge ,parker was amongst the     
three candidates the man who if he would
 comprehend our message of  ,peace1     
would work powerfully for the true      
,republican cause4 ,during my           
explanation he was inspired to do all in
 his power for ,judge ,parker's         
election1 if the ,judge should settle   
matters with me and pay the  expenses   
for what was to be published in ,german 
and in ,english circulars  from each    
position separately1 to be put in       
circulation in all  directions of the   
,state of ,new-,york4 ,that man gave me 

then in writing  the promise to         
excercise all his influence for ,judge  
,parker's election1  if the ,judge      
settles with me the matter4    ,it is to
 be repeated1 that ,i according to my   
mission1 am working not for  any pay or 
reward1 but only for the great cause of 
my mission1 satisfied  with simple food 
and raiment1 which ,i get when needed1  
from those who  understand that ,i am   
working without pay for the great       
community of  mankind4 ,the man who gave
 me the above mentioned written promise 
gave me  also money to pay my fare from 
,new-,york to ,albany4 ,i arrived there 
on a  ,sunday morning1 which was the    
best time for trying ,judge ,parker's   
spirit4 ,i explained to him briefly the 
reasons why ,i could not come at  the   
appointed time1 without mentioning the  
invisible direction2 because  ,i        
supposed that the ,judge was not yet    
prepared to comprehend spiritual        
things4 ,but ,i insisted1 that he1 to   
secure his election1 had to spend  that 

,sunday in studying my writings instead 
of going to church2 for he  mentioned   
that ,i did not come the proper time to 
him1 because he was  preparing to go in 
the church4 ,i showed to him the title  
page of my  pamphlet2 ,redemption of    
oppressed humanity6 ,christ's           
manifestation by  his messengers for the
 ,abolition of all kinds of ,popery4 ,on
 that page  not only my former offices  
in ,babylon are expressed1 but also my  
present  office is mentioned1 by virtue 
of1 which ,i represent the messengers by
  whom the promised ,new ,era will be   
introduced4 ,if he had read the title   
page on which the substance of our      
message is concentrated and our  mission
 is expressed1 with such attention as to
 comprehend it and to  reflect upon it1 
he could have understood1 that to spend 
that ,sunday  with me was exceedingly   
more important than to attend his       
sectarian  church4 ,i repeated that to  
study my documents on that ,sunday was  
most  important for him4    ,two things 

seemed to deter him from receiving my   
advice4 ,in the first  place he saw on  
the title page1 that ,i1 after having   
been eighteen years  ,roman ,catholic   
,priest1 appeared in public for the     
abolition of all kinds  of ,popery4 ,he 
may have been afraid to scare ,roman    
,catholics from voting  for him1 if he  
would be in any connexion with me4 ,i   
found not proper to  explain1 that what 
,i intended to publish in behalf of his 
election1  would not scare but          
strengthen ,roman ,catholics to vote for
 him1 but  would scare many ,republicans
 and ,abolitionists to vote for their   
candidates and would draw them to him4  
,in the second place he seemed to  have 
been in the same opinion in which ,i    
found ,democratic editors of            
newspapers1 who told me expressly that  
they were certain1 that their  candidate
 would be ,governor4 ,when ,i found him 
not ready to study my  document on      
,sunday instead of going into his       
sectarian church1 ,i did not  show him  

the writing of the champion who was     
determined to act under the  above      
mentioned condition for ,judge ,parker's
 election1 but ,i reported  directly to 
that champion that which happened at my 
trial of ,judge  ,parker's spirits and  
,i started straightways for the ,states 
of ,new  ,england4    ,attentive readers
 of this treatise do comprehend1 why in 
the cloud of  witnesses of our mission  
amongst the men and women of the so     
called  ,republican ,party ,i selected  
the three acting ,governors1 ,hon4      
,chase of  ,ohio1 ,banks of ,mass1 and  
,hon4 ,morgan of ,new ,york4 ,they      
appear1 because  they are ,headmen of   
the three most dangerous ,states to the 
true  ,republican cause4 ,those are the 
principal ,states from which there is   
spread also into other ,states much zeal
 for freedom of nations without         
knowledge of the means for the true     
freedom4 ,this their zeal instead of    
promoting the true ,republican cause is 
promoting the cause of monarchs  and    

ruining this country4 ,i could write    
much in connexion with these  three     
,governors for a warning example to all 
,governors and all other  officers2 but 
these few hints may suffice1 that all   
might know the  necessity to study our  
message of ,peace1 to promote in their  
offices the  true ,democratic or true   
,republican cause and establish ,peace  
on the  whole globe4 ,there is a general
 hue raised by ,republicans1 that there 
is  great corruption at the ,federal    
,government4 ,there is in all parties   
and  sects a general and exceedingly    
great corruption2 and we must repeat1   
that those political and ecclesiastical 
heads who belong to the parties  of     
,abolitionists and ,republicans1 are the
 principal cause of the  horrible       
degradation and corruption1 by which    
this country is ruined2  because since  
the time in which ,i commenced to urge  
the ,american nation  by ,english       
addresses and publications1 my principal
 applications were  especially to those 

who profess to belong to the parties of 
,republicans  and ,abolitionists4 ,if   
they had studied our message of ,peace  
and had  applied the remedy which is    
comprehended in it against all kinds of 
degradation and corruption1 we would    
have seen several years ago the  fruits 
of our work4 ,but when they in their    
degradation and corruption1  instead of 
having received our message of ,peace1  
did all in their power  to stop it1 as  
,i have shown1 instead of hundreds of   
instances of our  experience only by the
 remarkable specimen of the ,utica      
,philanthropic  ,convention1 they are to
 be regarded as the principal cause of  
such awful  warnings1 as a specimen was 
given on ,sunday ,sexagesima1 ,february 
#bgth  #ahei1 on the ,president's       
,square of ,washington by the executive 
power of  our leader who has ,,revel4   
xiv3#ad a sickle in his hand1 and will  
make use  of sickles to sweep away the  
scoundrels and corruptors of females4   
,their abominations will come to        

day-light in this ,judgment             
,dispensation1 when the criminals will  
least expect4 ,the farther you  proceed 
in reading and understanding this book1 
the more light you will  receive in     
regard to the inner life of man and to  
the world of spirits1  to know the      
secret enemies of true ,republicanism1  
and how to stop the  degradation and    
corruption1 by which ,republic is       
destroyed and monarchy  or tyranny is   
established4    ,we have selected in the
 first treatise such facts as should    
inspire  every reader and especially    
,democrats for co-operation with us1 and
 the  facts made public in this         
treatise1 should move especially the    
parties  of ,abolitionists and          
,republicans4 ,we will see1 whether     
,president  ,buchanan's friends or the  
heads of his opposition will hear sooner
 the  voice of our master made manifest 
by our mediumship for ,harmony and      
,peace of all nations1 and awaken not   
only the ,government of the ,united     

,states but also other governments from 
their lethargy4    ,human degradation   
and corruption having been sheltered    
under the cloak  of virtue1 and under   
the specious name of ,free ,love        
careless males and  female having been  
ruined in body and soul1 peculiar       
opportunity was  given us to close this 
treatise with a brief report on a       
treatise on  the second coming of       
,christ4 ,by ,john ,h4 ,noyes1 ,putney1 
,vt4 #ahdj1  because that treatise was  
handed to me on this #aith day of       
,march1 while  ,i am travelling through 
,cumberland ,county1 ,pa4 and by what   
happened at  the reception of that      
treatise ,i was aware1 that a brief     
report would  suit best for closing this
 our treatise4 ,on the #bith page of    
that  treatise we read2 ,now ,swedenborg
 preached that the second coming of     
,christ took place in #ageg1 and that he
 was himself an eye witness of the      
transaction4 ,ann ,lee1 the mother of   
the ,shakers1 preached that the  second 

coming took place in #aggj1 and that    
,christ made his appearance  in her     
person4 ,many similar proclamations have
 been made from time to  time1 along the
 whole period of ,christian history1 and
 especially since  the ,reformation4    
,the latest of this fashion that has    
come to our notice1  is ,professor      
,andreas ,bernardus ,smolnikar1 who     
teaches that ,christ  appeared in #ahcf1
 and appointed him ',ambassador         
,extraordinary' 7,mr4  ,noyes quotes as 
his authority ,signs of the times1 ,no4 
#ab4 p4 #ie4 ,then  he continues his    
tale as follows37 of all these we may   
say fearlessly1  as ,paul says1 'though 
they be ,angels from ,heaven1 let them  
be accursed'  they have denied the word 
of ,god--together with these1 another   
class of  visionaries and impostors1    
less presumptuous1 but equally foolish1 
may  be noticed4 ,we refer to those who 
either by pretended revelation1 or by   
interpretation1 have undertaken1 from   
time to time within the last few        

centuries1 to prophesy of the near      
approach of the second advent4 ,the     
latest and most notable specimen of this
 class1 is ,william ,miller1 who  at    
this time1 is confidently proclaiming1  
#ahdc is the appointed year of  the     
second coming4    ,i would not have     
noticed ,noyes's treaties1 if it had not
 been  unexpectedly handed to me1 when  
,i came1 while ,i thought ,i was going  
into  the house of a man with whom ,i   
was acquainted1 to his brother whom ,i  
did  not know until yesterday1 when ,i  
came against my expectation to him4 ,he 
commenced to tell that he had a pamphlet
 in which ,mr4 ,noyes speaks about  me4 
,then he has shown the above quoted     
passage in ,noyes's pamphlet4 ,but  ,i  
did not yet think to take notice of it1 
till at length he has brought  this     
morning the pamphlet to his             
brother-in-law1 with whom ,i stopped    
last night1 and ,i found proper to quote
 the passage and to write this  edition 
for the conclusion of this treatise4    

,but the quoted passage is  in such     
connexions and correspondences1 that in 
a new large treatise ,i  could not      
explain them4 ,here we can report only  
the following items4    ,in the year    
#ahdj1 on ,easter ,saturday1 my third   
,german volume of  memorable events     
issued from the press4 ,those three     
volumes exhibit  the magnetic chain of  
events to bind the dragon or serpant1   
the image  of the spirit of delusion and
 destruction1 who inspires such         
extraordinary ambassadors1 as ,john ,h4 
,noyse is4 ,that he belongs to  those   
deceivers who have deluded those who    
belong to the ,anti-slavery  and        
,republican ,parties1 and are opposed to
 our message of ,peace1 is  evident by  
the circumstance1 that ,i commenced this
 treatise with the  three angels or     
ambassadors or messengers of the #adth  
chapter of the  ,,revel41 the #c;d      
amongst whom commences his message in   
the #ith verse of  that chapter4 ,i     
mentioned that each of those angels or  

messengers  represents a body or society
 of messengers1 and that ,dr4 ,bengel   
has  pointed out in the first part of   
the last century1 that ,christ will be  
made manifest about the year #ahcf2 but 
that neither ,dr4 ,bengel nor any  other
 man did know the manner in which he was
 to be made manifest1 till  it was      
disclosed by the #c;d ,angel ,,revel4   
xiv3 #i1 or the representative of       
angels or ambassadors or messengers by  
whom the contents of the prophecy  xiv4 
#i1 #aj1 #aa1 must be fulfilled4        
,interpreters did not understand many   
other things nor those verses till they 
may read their explanation in my  above 
quoted three ,german volumes4 ,i do not 
recollect1 how ,i did entitle  that my  
address2 but it did not contain #ie     
pages nor was it published in  several  
numbers1 so that ,i did not know what   
those signs of the times  were1 to which
 ,noyse has reference1 except that      
,joshuah ,himes1 the head  of the       
,millerite imposition was publishing at 

that time a paper1  entitled ,signs of  
the ,times1 and since he announced1 that
 he would  publish also such views      
regarding ,christ's coming1 which were  
not in  accordance with the views of his
 sect1 ,i expected to open the door to  
the circulation of our message of ,peace
 through that paper4 ,i wrote  therefore
 a preparatory article1 in which ,i     
touched only such matters as  that sect 
of adventurists could bear4 ,and that my
 article was published  in that paper4  
,but when ,i offered the second article 
which touched  nearer the ,millerites'  
absurdities and follies1 expecting      
,christ on the  clouds and other        
paraphernalia1 he refused to publish it1
 and is yet  deceiving his disciples1   
although in the year #ahdj opportunity  
was given  to ,millerites1 to come out  
from their dreadful delusion4 ,whether  
,joshuah  ,himes was the first who      
misrepresented in so dreadful a manner  
our  message,s1 or ,noyse perverted what
 the other deceiver published1 they  may

 decide2 because the other is also a    
dreadful deceiver1 who had  opportunity 
to communicate to his readers our       
disclosures concerning  ,christ's       
,coming1 but he refused to publish our  
article4 ,but to the  conclusion of this
 treatise ,noyse belongs4    ,on the    
#eth of ,january1 #ahcg1 at #e o'clock  
,p4,m4 ,i received from a  ,heavenly    
messenger the order to prepare for      
starting to ,america4 ,but at  that time
 ,i did not know more than that in this 
country preparations  were to be made   
for establishing the promised peaceable 
reign of ,christ  on earth4 ,but my     
extraordinary mission commenced to be   
made manifest  after the events which   
happened ,a4,d4 #ahch in connexion with 
my mission  and which are explained in  
my above mentioned three ,german        
volumes4  ,instead of having studied    
those volumes and then reported         
accordingly1  there came such           
ambassadors of darkness as we have here 
a specimen of  ,john ,h4 ,noyse4        

,greater impudence could not be expected
 than to write  about me without having 
studied my books in which ,i have       
published what  should have been        
translated from the ,german also ,in    
other languages4 ,in  the third volume  
it is shown1 where ,swedenborg1 ,wm4    
,miller and others  stand1 who wrote    
before me on the second ,coming of      
,christ4 ,but before ,i  undertook to   
write about their standing1 ,i read     
their books2 then ,i have  shown1 how   
parties and sects1 each in their own way
 have given testimony  to our mission4  
,the principal of those parties have    
been mentioned in my  third volume1     
which was published ,a4,d4 #ahdj4 ,but  
,john ,h4 ,noyse and his  sect were not 
at that time so famous as to having been
 brought to my  notice4 ,at length a    
noise of his existence came to me in the
 following  manner3    ,about the year  
#ahdd1 while ,i had business in ,new    
,york4 ,theophilus ,gates  came to me   
after having read an address of mine in 

which ,i urged readers  to co-operate   
for establishing a centre of our work4  
,t4 ,gates spoke  about a certain point 
persuading me to adopt it for a sure    
success in  establishing our centre4 ,i 
said1 that ,i did not know1 whether ,i  
understood him correctly or not4        
,therefore ,i would read if he had      
published anything on that subject and  
then ,i would talk with him about  it4  
,then he brought to me his pamphlet1    
entitled3 the ,battle ,axe1 in  which he
 endeavored to prove the free love      
doctrine by the ,bible as  well as by   
authorities of this time4 ,his greatest 
authority was a letter  of this same    
,john ,h4 ,noyse4    ,i gave a great    
lesson to ,th4 ,gates who was ruining   
people by his  infernal doctrine2 but he
 did not digest my lesson4 ,then ,i made
  acquaintance with some ,john ,h4      
,noyse's disciples and asked them1 how  
their leader became so blind as to      
support the damnable doctrine which     
opens the door to all kinds of          

lasciviousness1 adultery and            
fornication1  which ruins people and is 
diametrically opposed to the spirit of  
the ,new  ,testament4 ,his disciples    
said1 that he wrote that letter in a    
haste1 and  that it was published       
against his intention1 and that he      
retracted his  view expressed in that   
letter4 ,then ,i attended a meeting of  
,perfectionists in ,newark1 ,n4,j4 ,some
 of them were with ,noyse1 others were  
against his supporting the ,free ,love  
doctrine4 ,i addressed the audience4    
,then ,i was invited to dinner by a     
,perfectionist who did not belong to    
,noyse's ,party4 ,i was asked by my     
host1 whether ,i did read or not1 what  
appeared shortly before that in ,noyse's
 ,perfectionist against me4  ,after my  
negative answer he gave me the number   
containing ,noyse's  article against me4
 ,i took it to the meeting which was    
appointed on the  same ,sunday afternoon
 and read that article at the meeting   
and explained  ,noyse's                 

misrepresentations of the contents of my
 article to which  reference was made in
 ,noyse's article1 and remarked that it 
was  possible1 that ,mr4 ,noyse did not 
make purposely but only in haste those  
misrepresentations1 and that in the case
 that he is a friend of ,truth1  he     
would retract what he had published     
misrepresenting my statements4 ,i       
added1 that in this case ,i would like  
to see him and converse personally  with
 him about the matter4 ,one of his      
disciples said that ,noyse was a  man   
ready to receive truth1 and that he     
wished to go with me to ,mr4  ,noyse and
 to bear travelling expenses4 ,we       
started and took also another  friend of
 ,mr4 ,noyse with us4 ,at our arrival we
 were cordially received1  till ,mr4    
,noyse heard my name4 ,at that moment he
 was entirely changed1  took his friends
 into his room1 while ,i remained on the
 porch4 ,he spoke  with them so loud1   
that ,i heard every word1 while he      
reproached to them1  that they took me  

with them4 ,it was nearly dinner time1  
and ,i found  proper not to speak about 
our case1 till we would be together in  
his  ,printing ,office4 ,it happened    
soon after dinner4 ,i said that those   
who  were present1 were ,mr4 ,noyse's   
friends1 but that ,i expected1 that they
  were for truth1 and that also ,noyse  
will correct the errors and             
misrepresentations which he has         
published regarding my mission and      
regarding my statements in my article1  
to which he had reference in his        
article4 ,but ,mr4 ,noyse pertinaciously
 denied to have misrepresented my       
statements4 ,i had in my pocket the     
number of the paper containing my       
article and that number of the          
,perfectionist in which my publication  
has  been misrepresented4 ,i read       
corresponding passages from both1 and   
asked  the witnesses1 whether ,noyse's  
report contained the same sense as my   
report4 ,all his friends remained       
silent2 but he continued to be          

obdurate1 and repeated in the most      
impudent manner1 that he did not        
misrepresent my statements4 ,i did know 
nothing until yesterday about his       
having misrepresented as early as #ahdj 
my doctrine regarding ,christ's  coming 
and slandered and calumniated me already
 in that year4 ,and when ,i  met four or
 five years after that personally with  
him in his ,printing  ,office about our 
business1 he appeared as the most       
stubborn infallible  ,pope1 affirming   
with the most impudent affront1 that    
what he published  against me1 was true4
 ,but some bystanders commenced to cry3 
,snake6  snake6 snake6 pointing out of  
the door of the ,printing ,office in a  
distance from the door to see what it   
was4 ,there was a very large snake      
marching from a distance directly       
towards us and towards the door of the  
,printing ,office1 and went1 in spite of
 the men gazing it1 under the           
threshold1 and sheltered its self under 
the floor of the ,printing  ,office4 ,it

 was most singular1 that the devil1 that
 means calumniator1 by  whom the snake  
was possessed1 magnetized so the        
witnesses1 that none of  them took an   
instrument to kill the snake1 although  
he could have easily  reached one for   
this purpose in the ,printing ,office4  
,after having been  all so baffled1 ,i  
said to ,mr4 ,noyse1 that the snake or  
the dragon is the  ,holy ,ghost who     
comes from the depth of his ,printing   
,office and inspires  his readers with  
such infernal delusion1 as appeared in  
his  ,perfectionist against my mission1 
and ,i left directly his place4    ,the 
man who has brought me to ,mr4 ,noyse1  
left soon after that spectacle  his own 
wife1 a good natured woman1 and went    
with another ,lady to  unknown regions4 
,and ,noyse left1 not long after that   
that place1 and  founded in the ,state  
of ,new ,york1 the ,oneida community1 in
 which his  followers professed publicly
 and published their ,free ,love        
doctrine1 and  put it in practice in    

that community and elsewhere1 when they 
had  opportunity to deceive and ruin the
 incautious1 abusing the ,bible in the  
most horrible manner and anathematizing 
the true messengers of ,god4 ,such      
imposters must also give testimony to   
our mission in a manner convenient  to  
their position1 as ,i have given at the 
close of this treatise some  hints1     
although ,i could write a volume of     
memorable events connected  with ,john  
,h4 ,noyse's ,perfectionist and         
confirming the given hints4 ,but  this  
treatise being already weighty1 we do   
not need to add an  explanation1 why our
 leaders were pleased to furnish        
,noyse's pamphlet to  give occasion to  
these solemn warnings with which we     
close this  treatise1 which should be   
thankfully received from our directors  
by all  parties and especially by       
,abolitionists and ,republicans and by  
all kinds  of ,perfectionists and       
,spiritualists of the last fashion1 who 
are by the  abomination1 called ,free   

,love1 so stupified1 that they cannot   
comprehend  our message1 although they  
pretend to be ,reformers4 ,but those who
 will  become true ,reformers1 must come
 on our ground according to the plan    
made public in the last treatise of this
 book by your sincere brother  ,andrew  
,b4 ,smolnikar1 extraordinary           
,ambassador for the introduction of  the
 ,new ,era of ,harmony and ,peace4      
,,third ,,treatise4             ,the    
,war in ,europe1 its remote and recent  
causes in connexion with       our      
,epistle to the ,bishops of ,illyria1 to
 be communicated to the       ,emperors 
of ,austria and ,france for the         
resurrection of the mortals       as    
well as their departed friends from     
their misery and distress       into the
 state of true happiness4      ,instead 
of the treatise which was prepared to   
occupy this place in this  book1 we     
write on the #dth day of ,july1 #ahei1 a
 ,new ,treatise1 while  others are      
keeping the shadow for reality1         

rejoicing in companies and  filling my  
ears with explosions of crackers and    
thunders of guns and my  nostrils with  
the most disagreeable smell of gun      
powder1 while ,i am  mourning in my     
solitude in the midst of hundreds of    
thousands of people  of the ,city of    
,new ,york and neighbourhood1 because   
they would not  receive our message of  
peace and learn how to bring forth      
fruits of the  true liberty of nations4 
,this treatise was occasioned by the    
book ,the  ,war in ,europe1 its remote  
and recent causes written by ,j4 ,h4    
,duganne1  and published a few days ago 
by ,r4 ,m4 ,de,witt1 ,nassau ,st41 ,no4 
#fj1 ,new  ,york4 ,i mention it here1   
because it contains a collection of     
facts and  events1 by the perusal of    
which any body1 if he reflects upon what
 he  reads1 may be aware of what we     
continuously repeat1 that people and    
their political and ecclesiastical      
governments have apostatized from       
,truth and ,justice1 and cannot         

establish the promised peace1 except    
according to the plan which is given in 
the fifth or last treatise of  this     
book4 ,the causes of ,revolutions and   
,wars and manifold other plagues  are   
contained in the apostasy of men from   
,truth and ,righteousness4 ,this        
apostasy brings mortal men into the     
association with departed deluding  and 
destroying spirits1 as you know1 if you 
have comprehended the  preceding        
treatises1 and you will receive the more
 proof of this  important truth1 the    
farther you will proceed in studying    
this book4  ,mortal men are in close    
connexion with congenial departed       
spirits4 ,the  life of man in his mortal
 body is a manifestation of influence   
from the  sphere of spirits1 for whose  
society he is prepared4 ,by them he is  
moved  and supported for action2 they   
influence those who are congenial with  
them4 ,but men1 if they are not versed  
in the inner life1 are not aware  of    
this influence2 although this is the    

first and most necessary  knowledge for 
the abolition of revolutions and wars   
and manifold other  plagues1 which      
originate from the influence of         
destroying spirits1 who  themselves may 
be so ignorant1 that the magnetic fluid 
which they  communicate to men is       
pestilential1 as a man who is infected  
with one or  the other kind of plague1  
may be ignorant of his dreadful         
condition1 and  of the fact that he     
infects also others who1 in their       
ignorance of  matters1 are united with  
his deleterious condition4 ,if1 for     
instance1  the ,emperors of ,austria and
 ,france1 and their ,generals and other 
,officers1 and all who sympathize with  
one or the other1 and contribute  their 
share for the destruction of the enemy1 
would know the proper  condition of     
spirits with whom they are associated   
and by whom they are  inspired in their 
destructive work1 they would be         
exceedingly  frightened1 and would cry3 
,what shall we do to be saved8    ,many 

years before ,i knew anything about my  
present mission1 ,i was aware  by       
comparing the reports of the ,bible with
 the reports of other ancient  and      
modern works and with our own experience
 in regard to the spirit  world1 that   
angels and demons in the ,bible are     
departed men and women of  different    
high and low spheres1 made manifest to  
men in mortal bodies1  when there was   
suitable to give to men tangible        
testimonies1 that  mortals are in close 
connexion with departed congenial       
spirits4 ,the  legion1 for instance1 in 
the fifth chapter of ,mark1 is a legion 
or  regiment of soldiers who have been  
destroyed in a battle4 ,the captain  and
 his legion had the grave or the cave in
 which dead bodies were  located1 for a 
suitable location to their degraded     
condition2 and the  magnetic fluid1     
which they inhaled into their inner or  
magnetic bodies  which are used by      
spirits1 came from the decomposed and   
rotten cadavers1  and was the most      

delicious influence which they could    
communicate to  their worshipers1 and   
their captain has shewn his terrible    
madness by  the attacks upon his medium1
 while he was compelled to make         
manifest1  what he really was4 ,but when
 he was not compelled to show his real  
condition1 he was deceiving in like     
manner1 as now departed ,emperors1      
,kings1 ,generals and other warlike     
spirits are deceiving1 till they  bring 
their worshippers on the battlefield1   
where they effect such  carnages1 as we 
read now many reports in newspapers4 ,in
 this madness the  victors and their    
bishops and priests are feasting and    
singing ,te  ,deum1 while the defeated  
are praying for the reverse1 and neither
 party  are prepared to reflect upon the
 crimes which they have committed by    
having killed their fellow men1 who     
should have been educated and should    
have progressed in knowledge of truth   
and practice of virtue as long as  their
 constitutions by applying the right    

means for the support of their  physical
 strength and health1 would have        
admitted4 ,but alas6 they have  been    
wantonly killed1 when they were least   
prepared for ,heaven and best  disposed 
for the infernal regions6 ,and others   
have been mangled and  wounded1 so that 
they are crippled for all their lifetime
 and also  hindered in the right use of 
their intellectual and moral faculties4 
,and  all who were drilled for war1 were
 instead of progressing in virtue1      
retrogressing into corruption4 ,volumes 
could be written on this point of  the  
deepest humiliation of the human race4  
,which are the remote and  recent causes
 of the war in ,europe8 ,the book which 
occasioned this  treatise1 contains a   
series of most detestable facts and     
proceedings as  forerunners of the      
eruption of the volcanoes of the        
infernal furies  which are destroying   
now in the wholesale human life and     
property2  because governments and      
nations are not in truth1 but in        

delusion and  confusion1 the necessary  
consequence of which is destruction4    
,truth will  make you free4 ,this is the
 teaching of the master whose religion  
the  belligerent parties profess with   
words1 while their actions are          
instigated by the infernal furies4 ,also
 this book contains  superabundance of  
testimonies of our mission1 which is    
expressed on the  title page4 ,in my    
five ,german volumes published within   
the years #ahch  and #ahdb1 the mystery 
of iniquity of all governments which    
profess to be  christian governments1   
has been disclosed1 and their highest   
duty has  been made evident to abolish  
those abominations and to unite with us 
for  the introduction of ,christ's      
reign1 which will be the universal      
,republic  of ,truth and ,justice1      
,harmony and ,peace on the whole globe4 
,in those  volumes as well as in all my 
following publications it is made       
evident  that ,peace can never be       
established on the globe in the present 

course  of political and ecclesiastical 
affairs1 and that1 what they call peace1
  is only an armistice1 during which the
 dragon and his host are inspiring  the 
governments to amass means for new      
eruptions of revolutions and  wars4 ,the
 book which occasioned this treatise1   
contains a collection of  testimonies   
confirming and illustrating our         
teaching1 that true peace  cannot be    
established1 till governments and       
nations arrive on our  ground4 ,if the  
,emperor of ,austria would evacuate this
 moment all places  which he occupies in
 ,italy1 and if the ,emperor of ,france 
and his allies  would have in sincerity 
no other object in view1 but the only   
one to  make ,italy perfectly free1 ,i  
mean to make ,italy a true ,republic1   
and  would sacrifice all their strength 
and influence to this only object1  they
 could not realize their object1 till   
they would learn and receive  our       
message of ,peace and adopt the plan    
given in this book for the  introduction

 of the promised ,new ,era4 ,as long as 
they neglect to do  this1 they remain   
under the influence of deluding and     
destroying  spirits4 ,but these their   
masters are so controlled by our        
leaders1 that  when the measure of      
crimes of governments and nations is    
again and again  filled1 new eruptions  
of destructive revolutions and wars take
 place on  such days and under such     
circumstances1 that by our explanations 
of  correspondences they become peculiar
 warnings2 as we have already given     
specimens of this kind also in this     
book2 and many more will be given on    
suitable places of the following pages4 
,readers should not forget that  we are 
preparing them for the ,epistle to the  
,bishops of ,illyria4    ,before we     
commence to translate that epistle1 we  
must give a brief  epitome of the       
contents of the treatise1 which was to  
be printed in lieu  of this treatise1   
and to which reference has been made in 
the preceding  treatise1 and we must    

write on this #dth of ,july1 #ahei in   
the midst of  great noise and continuous
 cracking and thunder of guns and so    
much  smell of powder1 that it becomes  
very tedious4 ,this morning it appeared 
in newspapers1 that ,samuel ,jackson's  
pyrotechnical establishment on #ajth    
and ,reed ,streets in ,philadelphia was 
yesterday afternoon destroyed by  the   
explosion of fireworks1 which were      
prepared for the exhibition on  this    
day2 but they yesterday burned ,mr4     
,beck to death4 ,we mention this  case1 
because we saw it besides many other    
cases amongst the news of  this day1 and
 this ,jackson is one of the many strong
 mediums of  destroying spirits whom we 
endeavored many years ago to deliver    
from  those spirits2 but they continue  
to prepare tremendous fireworks4 ,in the
  octava of the outbreak of the infernal
 furies in the ,french ,revolution  of  
,february1 #ahdh1 spirits commenced to  
awaken materialists by raps  through the
 ,fox ,girls in the vicinity of         

,rochester of this ,state of            
,new-,york4 ,they became at length      
generally known as ,rochester ,rapping  
,spirits2 because in the ,city of       
,rochester people first commenced to    
assemble in large numbers and hear those
 rappings1 or also carefully to         
investigate1 whether those raps came1 as
 they purported1 from spirits or  from  
some other cause4 ,as soon as ,i read in
 newspapers the reports of  those       
manifestations1 ,i understood the       
correspondences and also1 why our       
leaders let the infernal powers exhibit 
their craft in this manner4  ,deluding  
and destroying spirits from the same    
spheres from which they  have inspired  
their fighting mediums in ,europe1      
commenced to give  testimony in this    
country that there is truly such a      
relation between  the living in the     
mortal bodies and the departed as has   
been disclosed  in our publications1 and
 at the same time also to show how they 
were  duping and deluding such as would 

not hear our explanations regarding  the
 true condition of spirits1 but were    
quite pleasing with the answers  which  
they received through the daughters of  
,mr4 ,fox and other mediums  who        
commenced then to be developed in large 
numbers1 that is1 deluding  and         
destroying spirits or infernal demons   
shewed by manifold perceivable          
possessions1 that they were closely     
attached to congenial men and women4  ,i
 made use of that opportunity and       
assured citizens of the ,united         
,states1 that rapping spirits would be  
dreadful destroying spirits also  in    
this country1 if their operations will  
not be stopped by the  application of   
the means which are comprehended in our 
message of ,peace4  ,but ,i did not try 
those spirits in circles of             
spiritualists1 till ,i  received order  
from my leaders to do so4 ,opportunity  
was given in  ,pittsburgh1 ,pa4 by the  
reports published in some ,english and  
,german  newspapers regarding the       

mediumship of ,christina ,beil1 7as the 
name of  that medium of ,german parents 
is correctly written1 but ,english      
reporters wrote it ,beail1 although it  
is the ,german ,beil1 that means a      
hatchet or axe7,t4 ,her mediumship      
aroused a general attention1 and  while 
crowds of attendants were convinced that
 raps by which questions  were answered1
 were produced by spirits1 sceptics     
denied it1 and ,mrs4  ,swisshelm        
published in her ,saturday ,visitor the 
results of her  investigations of spirit
 rappers at ,christina ,beil's          
mediumship4 ,she  thought1 that raps    
must have been produced by some trick of
 one or the  other mortal1 although she 
was not able to discover the trick4 ,the
 same  confession was made in ,german   
newspapers by a ,german ,lutheran       
,pastor4  ,the excitement moved a       
skilful ,german chemist who was also a  
strong  materialist1 to investigate the 
matter in the expectation that he might 
find out the trick4 ,but he was sincere 

and confessed1 that raps  purporting to 
come from spirits1 were produced by     
beings who understood  the questions4   
,but under the circumstances of his     
investigations they  could not be       
produced by mortal men1 and must have   
been produced by  invisible agents4     
,a few days before my reading of those  
reports1 a rapping spirit had been      
shown to me in an extraordinary manner1 
to relate which in this epitome  there  
is no room4 ,but by that manifestation  
,i was instructed1 that ,i  should try  
the rapping spirits of ,christiana ,beil
 in the presence of  sufficient         
witnesses4 ,the same ,german learned    
chemist1 and a ,german  ,pastor of the  
,reformed ,church and other witnesses   
were present1 when ,i  tried the spirits
 of ,christina ,beil4 ,also that pastor 
belonged to that  school of theologians 
who send their departed into such an    
eternity1  from whence there is no      
return to mortal men4 ,such folly is    
according to  our knowledge of the      

condition of the departed most pitiful  
materialism  in disguise4 ,but at our   
meeting with that medium in the house of
 her  mother1 soon a number of rappers  
commenced to show by raps in a number   
of places of the room1 that they were   
ready to give answers to our  questions4
 ,the medium commenced to ask1 and      
instantly all others became  silent1 and
 the strongest amongst them gave answers
 with raps4 ,to the  question with whom 
he wished to converse1 the pastor was   
shown by strong  raps as the person with
 whom the spirit wished to converse1 and
 he  signified by raps also that he was 
ready to give his name by pointing  out 
the letters of his name with raps4 ,the 
pastor repeated the alphabet1  and was  
quite astonished1 that the letters      
spelled the name of his  peculiar       
friend1 a medical doctor and open       
materialist1 who was  expressedly       
denying man's immortality while he was  
in his mortal body1  from which he      
departed a few months before that       

meeting4 ,the pastor gave  a number of  
questions1 and expected to get some     
answer1 with which he  would be able to 
show1 that such an answer could not come
 from that  doctor4 ,but at length the  
pastor confessed1 that by nobody else   
except  by that departed doctor he would
 expect all those answers which he had  
received4    ,when all was done which   
would convince the greatest sceptic1 if 
he was  prepared to reflect upon the    
facts1 ,i interfered and remarked1 that 
after having received sufficient        
testimony from that spirit1 we wished   
to converse with some other1 if any is  
present4 ,soon raps were heard of  so   
different a sound from the former1 that 
any observer could perceive  the        
exchange of spirits4 ,the first gave    
answers to ,german questions2  therefore
 also the second was asked1 whether he  
wished to converse in  ,german4 ,he     
answered in the negative1 and the medium
 was pointed out by  raps as the person 
with whom he wished to converse4 ,then  

,english  questions were given and he   
consented to give his name4 ,the        
alphabet was  repeated1 till all the    
letters of his name were pointed out by 
raps4 ,and  his name alarmed the medium 
exceedingly1 that she commenced to cry1 
and  also all her acquaintances were    
very much excited4 ,i asked the reason1 
and was told1 that that spirit was      
expected amongst the first when that    
girl became a medium1 but they had never
 any test that he was present1  and that
 they gave up all their hopes of getting
 any answer from him4  ,therefore his   
manifestation was so unexpected1 that it
 produced such an  effect upon the      
medium4 ,i understood the whole matter4 
,that spirit was  the principal guardian
 of that medium or she was principally  
possessed  by him1 and he had rapped    
generally in the name of others1 when   
the  inquirers were so congenial with   
the medium1 that he could look into     
their wishes4 ,but he did not give his  
name1 that he might not be  discovered  

as the deceiver who rapped in the name  
of others4 ,at length ,i  came in the   
charge of my mission in ,march1 #ahea4  
,i was acquainted  several years before 
that with that pastor and exhorted him  
to study my  books and then to proclaim 
our message of ,peace4 ,but my message  
was not  popular and it teaches1 that   
the belief of the close connexion of men
 in  mortal bodies with congenial       
departed spirits is the ,a ,b ,c1 to    
arrive  gradually to a deep knowledge of
 true religion and to the true freedom  
and deliverance from lying destroying   
spirits4 ,but pastors who became        
materialists1 were scared when they     
perceived1 that my message  presupposes 
the close connexion with congenial      
departed4 ,at length  mediums or        
possessed by departed spirits alarmed   
the materialistic  pastors4 ,the mother 
of the medium belonged to the           
congregation of that  pastor and she    
invited that pastor to come and be a    
witness4 ,my leaders  were controlling  

the legion of spirits1 who came from    
different quarters  with their          
witnesses1 and in those circumstances   
the medical doctor  ,reitz1 a peculiar  
friend of that pastor1 was the strong   
rapper and the  next was the lying      
spirit who1 when there was no stronger  
than he1  rapped in the name of others1 
till he was at length in our presence   
compelled to give his name4 ,after that 
remarkable trial of spirits1 ,i  said to
 the pastor1 that he should instruct the
 trustees of his church1  to give me    
permission to deliver some lectures in  
that church and to  explain that of     
which he was a witness1 but which he    
could not  understand in the connexion  
of things1 in which it must be          
understood  for the commencement of the 
,new ,era1 which according to the       
testimonies  given in his congregation1 
should be powerfully proclaimed from his
  church4 ,but the pastor thought that  
his congregation were not prepared  for 
so deep things4 ,although ,i insisted1  

that ,i would make them very  popular in
 the ,german language1 which was the    
language of his  congregation1 and that 
it was his highest duty to make use of  
the  opportunity to learn what is most  
necessary for ,harmony and ,peace of    
nations1 he remained as obstinate as    
other ,roman ,catholic and ,protestant  
,pastors4    ,then ,i wrote an article  
for newspapers1 in which ,i have shown  
what  should be generally known         
regarding the spirit manifestations     
which  commenced with raps by the       
mediumship of the ,fox ,girls to delude1
 as  cunning foxes are accustomed to    
delude1 such as would not receive truth 
which was disclosed in our message1 and 
were discovered1 when they were  tried  
according to our mission at the medium  
,christina ,beil's1 which1  means the   
,christian hatchet or the ,christian    
axe1 an instrument for  destruction1    
that they were deluding and destroying  
spirits1 by whose  influence destruction
 of life and property will continue     

until it will  be stopped by receiving  
and spreading our message of ,peace4    
,that article  was prepared in ,english 
and in ,german2 but editors who have    
spread  deceiving reports regarding     
spiritualism1 refused to publish my     
article4  ,i sent it then to ,boston1 to
 be published there in a paper of       
spiritualists4 ,but it was not popular  
and could not be published4  ,matters   
were to arrive so far as those will find
 them1 who study and  comprehend this   
whole book4    ,after that trial of     
spirits ,i returned several times to    
,pittsburgh and  paid always my visit to
 that learned chemist1 who was converted
 from a  materialist into an            
enthusiastic spiritualist4 ,he1 like    
many others1 was  expecting through his 
mediums to receive truth regarding the  
spirit  world4 ,but he was offended1    
when ,i endeavored to make him          
comprehend1  that those spirits with    
whom he came in communication by his    
mediums1  were materialistic spirits who

 did not speak through his mediums from 
the miserable condition of their inner  
life but from the surface of  their     
outward condition as they while in their
 mortal bodies were  accustomed to      
boast1 and to cheat and delude their    
fellow men4 ,in the  treatise which     
would have occupied this place1 if ,i   
had net been moved  to prepare this for 
the celebration of the #dth of ,july1   
#ahei1 and its  octava1 that people     
might commence to learn1 how they could 
become  independent from the invisible  
and visible tyrants by whom they are now
  enslaved1 and inspired for            
revolutions1 wars and other crimes1 ,i  
have  explained some very important     
spirit manifestations at my meetings    
with  the learned chemist in ,pittsburgh
 as preparations to the spirit          
manifestations which took place at my   
last visit to the ,city of ,boston  and 
neighborhood1 and which constitute the  
principal part of that  treatise1 the   
publication of the whole of which must  

be delayed1 and we  give here in a      
synopsis as preparation to our ,epistle 
to the ,bishops of  ,illyria1 the       
following items3    ,boston is the      
,city1 in the cathedral ,church of which
 by our mediumship  ,a4,d4 #ahch1 such1 
spirit manifestations took place1 by    
which we have  received the key to open 
the door for the promised ,new ,era of  
,harmony  and ,peace on earth4 ,we will 
give in the next following treatise of  
this  book some light on those          
manifestations4 ,but when our           
disclosures on  those manifestations had
 not been received1 at length           
spiritualism of  the last fashion gained
 a peculiar stronghold in ,boston1      
although  materialism made great        
exertions to check also the modern      
fashion of  spiritualism4 ,since ,a4,d4 
#ahch ,i returned several times to      
,boston1 and  was trying to move some   
influential men or congregations for an 
examination of our message and of the   
credentials of our mission4 ,when ,i    

arrived at the end of ,october1 #aheh1  
again in ,boston ,i attended on the     
next ,sunday the conference of          
spiritualists1 which was at that time on
  ,sundays usually held in ,boston4 ,as 
soon as they finished their  ceremonies 
by which their conference was opened1 ,i
 found proper to speak  a little in my  
,illyrian mother tongue1 to arouse the  
attention to what ,i  spoke then in     
,english1 and in the ,english language  
,i rebuked  materialists and testified  
our mission to restore true             
spiritualism4  ,after my speech a medium
 arose1 whom ,i did not know1 but found 
out  afterwards1 that he was ,agent of  
the ,fountain ,house1 where             
spiritualists  had their resort and     
their speculations4 ,he was rebuking a  
lecturer who  was opposed to            
spiritualism1 and1 as ,i understood from
 the rebuke1  misrepresenting facts1 and
 came to that conference to expose      
spiritualism from his materialistic     
position1 denying any manifestation     

from the departed4 ,during that rebuke1 
for a proof1 that spirits  manifest     
themselves1 he invited that lecturer and
 other materialists to  a meeting1 in   
which he offered to give an exact       
description of my mother  whom he       
affirmed to have seen standing on my    
side1 while ,i was speaking  in the     
conference1 and that although ,i was a  
perfect stranger to him1 he  was certain
 that she was my mother1 and that he    
would give an exact  description of her1
 so that he was confident1 that ,i would
 confirm his  description4 ,there were  
spiritualists in the ,conference who    
knew me1  that ,i troubled them in the  
,utica ,convention and elsewhere1 and   
they  seemed not to be favorable to that
 proposition4    ,on the next following 
,sunday ,i made again an attempt in said
 ,conference  to find out1 whether there
 was any influential person amongst them
 ready  to take an active interest in   
examining our message and the           
credentials  of our mission4 ,i         

commenced to speak from the point which 
was mentioned  in the last conference by
 the medium testifying1 that he saw my  
departed  mother standing in her glory  
on my side while ,i was speaking4 ,but  
,i made  the remark that ,i had two     
mothers in the spirit world1 to wit1 my 
first  mother by whom ,i was born1 ,she 
had great care during her life for my   
welfare1 and having been a great medium 
of spirit manifestations before  her    
departure1 always anxious to know truth 
and act accordingly1 she  progressed    
with me also after her departure and    
became one of those my  guardians1 who  
take care for my provisions and         
protection against  danger4 ,in this her
 care she found a strong medium of      
spirit  manifestations1 an aged lady who
 was looking for the third angel1       
,,revel4  xiv3#i1 because according to  
the testimonies which she had received1 
she  was certain1 that since ,a4,d4     
#ahcf he was preparing somewhat1 and    
while  she was looking for him since    

that year in ,europe1 she was directed  
by  her guardian to ,america with the   
assurance that she would find him in    
this country4 ,at length she heard one  
of my ,german lectures and              
comprehended1 that ,i had the mission of
 the third angel4 ,when she  commenced  
to testify this1 my mother appeared to  
her and entrusted her  the care1 which  
she herself had for me before her       
departure4 ,my mother  was an ,illyrian1
 but this new mother was a ,german4     
,whenever ,i had  opportunity to stop   
and write in her house1 great spirit    
manifestations  occurred4 ,at length    
also she departed and is acting amongst 
the women  who have amongst the departed
 peculiar offices for the introduction  
of  the ,new ,era4 ,when ,i mentioned in
 said ,conference somewhat about these  
matters and understood from the speeches
 of others that their spirits  were     
drawing the audience in other           
directions1 ,i turned also to other     
places1 and tried besides others those  

professors at ,cambridge1 ,mass4  who   
were appointed ,a4,d4 #aheg as a        
committee to investigate the physical   
phenomena which were believed by some to
 have been caused by spirits1  while    
others attributed them to other causes1 
and those professors1  after having     
performed their investigations1         
published their opinion  that spirits   
had nothing to do with the phenomena    
which they had  investigated4    ,when  
,i read that publication1 ,i saw that   
readers1 by the authority of  those     
professors1 were strengthened in        
materialism4 ,therefore1 at my  return  
to ,boston ,i felt it to be my duty to  
try to move those professors  of        
,cambridge from their materialism1 ,i   
saw personally those three1 who         
belonged to the committee who have      
published their opinion regarding the   
phenomena1 called spirit manifestations1
 and also the fourth who did not  belong
 to the committee1 but was the strongest
 operator to explode the  truth1 that   

departed spirits are in close connexion 
with congenial  mortals1 and that they1 
when circumstances are favorable and it 
agrees  with the ,plan of ,divine       
,government1 give also to exterior      
senses of men  perceivable proofs of    
this connexion4 ,i said to them1 that   
,a4,d4 #ahch  were greater spirit       
manifestations in the ,roman ,catholic  
,cathedral  ,church of ,boston by my    
mediumship and the mediumship of #add   
witnesses1  than mortal men could       
expect4 ,whereas that catalogue of      
witnesses as  well as the events which  
happened in connexion with our          
proceedings1  have been published in my 
books1 ,i could by the means of that    
catalogue  in a short time convince the 
professors of the great ,truth of close 
connexion and mutual influence between  
mortals and their congenial  departed1  
and by the public testimony of the      
professors the pernicious  influence of 
their report regarding the spiritual    
phenomena would be  abolished1 and the  

way for the circulation of our message  
of ,peace would  be opened4 ,they should
 therefore appoint time and place to    
meet with me  for this most important   
investigation of what departed spirits  
are able  to effect through mortal men4 
,with all my exertions to move the      
professors they remained obstinate      
sinners against the ,holy ,ghost who    
gave them opportunity to learn what is  
most important to correct the           
pernicious effect of their report and to
 cease to brutalize their  students with
 their materialism4 ,i started from     
,massachussets to ,new  ,hampshire1     
because in that ,state besides other    
spirit manifestations in  ,concord a    
,convention of those adventists was     
held1 who besides other  blasphemies of 
the living ,god and his ,christ teach   
also1 that man dies  as a beast1 but    
that when ,christ comes on the clouds1  
he will awaken the  righteous from      
death1 but the wicked will be eternally 
annihilated4 ,as  all other pestilence  

which is spread in the ,papal and in the
 ,protestant  sects is supported by the 
use and abuse of the ,bible1 likewise   
also  these annihilators made their     
discoveries of the annihilation of the  
wicked by the means of the ,bible4 ,they
 are spread through the country  and    
especially through the ,states of ,new  
,england1 and are only a branch  of the 
dreadful materialism which has brought  
the human beings so on the  surface of  
the matter1 that they stifled the most  
needful knowledge  regarding the spirit 
world4 ,i warned all sects of           
,adventists as well as  others1         
everywhere4 ,at length ,i met in        
,october1 #aheh1 with a portion of  the 
,adventist annihilators in a ,conference
 in ,providence of ,rhode  ,island1 and 
tried to convert them from their folly4 
,but they were not  ready to hear facts 
and then reflect upon them with a sound 
reason1 to  know man in his interior    
life4    ,there are different sects of  
the ,adventist annihilators2 but that   

same  sect1 with whom ,i met in         
,providence1 have appointed for         
,november1 #aheh1  a ,convention in     
,concord ,n4,h4 ,the appointment        
contained a general  invitation1 without
 confinement to their sect1 and ,i      
thought that there  might be an         
opportunity for me to find some         
investigating minds who  would listen to
 our message of ,peace4 ,but when ,i    
commenced to speak in  their            
,convention1 and their ,popes saw that  
there was danger for their  spirit      
annihilation1 they applied to the       
audience with their complaint1  that    
they found in ,providence1 that ,i did  
not believe in ,christ's coming  on the 
clouds and annihilation of the wicked   
and am rather a kind of a  spiritualist4
 ,therefore if ,i would remain ,i had to
 be silent1 or ,i had  to leave the     
,hall4 ,i replied1 that in their        
circular was no confinement  to their   
sect1 but their invitation contained    
exactly the opportunity  for the        

proclamation of our message4 ,but the   
possessed ,popes by spirits  of delusion
 and destruction became fierce and      
enraged1 and ,i found best  to leave    
them in their hall4 ,my leader showed me
 that ,i should return  towards ,boston4
 ,at my return ,i was trying spirits on 
several places4 ,it  is to be understood
 that volumes could be written1 if ,i   
would explain  what ,i mention in this  
synopsis preparatory to my ,epistle     
which ,i have  sent in my hand-writing  
to the ,bishops in ,illyria to be       
communicated to  the ,emperors of       
,austria and ,france1 and which is to be
 printed in this  treatise1 that it     
might reach monarchs and their agents in
 this book1 if  it should not have      
reached them in hand-writing4 ,but the  
events which  occupy the largest portion
 of the treatise which would have       
appeared  here1 if the celebration of   
the #dth of ,july had not moved me to   
write  and publish this in lieu of the  
other1 may be expressed in this epitome 

in the following sentences3    ,during  
my travelling ,i am most time walking on
 foot4 ,while ,i was walking  on foot   
from ,linn1 ,mass4 to ,chelsea ,city1 ,i
 found the tollgate keeper  standing    
without occupation on the turnpike1 and 
asked him for a  direction to the       
strongest spiritualist in ,chelsea      
,city4 ,he directed me  to a merchant4  
,he was not at home1 and ,i asked his   
clerk1 to give me  directions to some   
other spiritualist4 ,he put several on a
 paper1 the  first of whom was ,mr4     
,mansfield1 and ,i was impressed to go  
to him4 ,i was  quite a stranger and    
without asking about the occupation of  
this  ,mansfield1 ,i asked only for a   
direction to his house4 ,when ,i found  
it1 ,i  was told that ,mansfield was at 
his office ,no4 #c4 ,winter ,street in  
,boston4 ,without asking1 what his      
occupation was1 ,i came at length on the
  #c;d of ,december1 #aheh1 into his    
office4 ,when ,i was in his office1 the 
portraits of the dead drawn by some     

entranced medium with whom ,i was       
personally acquainted1 and other        
paraphernalia reminded me1 that that    
must be the celebrated medium ,j4 ,v4   
,mansfield1 of whom ,i read in          
newspapers1 that many sealed letters not
 only from different quarters of        
,america but also from other parts of   
the ,globe1 were directed to  departed  
acquaintances of the writers1 and       
answers were asked from the  departed   
which he could not give also in the     
case1 if he would read the  letters4    
,but answers were to be given without   
opening the letters1 by  him as writing 
medium of spirits4 ,he had to return the
 letters without  opening the seal1 and 
to add the answers as written by his    
mediumship4  ,while reading the reports 
regarding that medium1 ,i thought to see
 him1  when ,i would come again to      
,boston4 ,but while ,i was in the first 
part of  ,november1 #aheh1 in ,boston ,i
 did not remember this1 and came at my  
return  from ,new ,hampshire in the     

briefly related manner on the third     
,december1  #aheh1 against all my       
expectation to him4 ,i think that he was
 present at  the two above mentioned    
,conferences in ,boston1 in which ,i    
spoke before  starting for ,new         
,hampshire4 ,when ,i conversed on the   
#c;d of ,december with  him in his      
office1 he invited me to come on        
,saturday1 ,december #dth #aheh1  to his
 office and from thence to ride with him
 to his house in ,chelsea  ,city and    
spend ,sunday1 ,december #eth1 with him4
 ,i was impressed to do so4  ,that      
,sunday was the second ,sunday in       
,advent4 ,on the #dth1 after the        
arrival in his house we both were tired 
and went to bed at #aj o'clock  ,p4,m4  
,i rested well1 till ,i was awakened by 
a female departed spirit who  was in    
great distress and entreated me to give 
her assistance to kill  her husband4 ,i 
understood it in a spiritual sense to   
stop the pernicious  course of her      
husband1 and promised her my assistance4

 ,as soon as ,i  promised her my        
assistance my leaders took her in       
protection and they  expelled at the    
same time the whole company of her task 
masters out of  the room1 and then from 
two places on the outside of the house1 
from  which they were compelled to      
remove4 ,after that spectacle1 the      
detail of  which here is not the place  
to explain1 the clock struck four4 ,from
 this  circumstance ,i understood1 that 
the scene commenced at three o'clock4   
,there are certain hours1 according to  
our spirit language by numbers  most    
convenient for certain communications4  
,as the communication  requires1 also   
the hour is selelected by my leaders in 
which they draw  me into the inner state
 in which they show me1 what is         
congruous to my  mission4 ,they put me1 
in that instance1 from my sleep into the
 inner  state of knowledge of what was  
going on4 ,in this state ,i not see the 
female1 although ,i was conscious1 that 
she was surrounded by enemies of  her   

happiness4 ,the whole scene and         
explanation belonging to the treatise   
which will be published in an other     
time1 these hints may suffice1 to       
understand the following items4 ,as soon
 as ,i saw after that scene ,mr4        
,mansfield and his wife at breakfast1 ,i
 told them that ,i had a great  spirit  
manifestation1 which ,mr4 ,mansfield    
could not understand1 except  if he     
would study some of my writings to know 
somewhat about my mission  ,he read and 
,i explained the substance of some      
points in my writings to  make him known
 somewhat about my mission4 ,afternoon1 
while reading one  of my pamphlets1 he  
started suddenly and went very fast into
 another  room1 and brought directly    
some paper1 put it on the table and     
said1  that while he was reading my     
pamphlet1 a spirit was impressing him to
  ask me to write questions which he    
would answer4 ,i knew not who the  woman
 was1 who asked at three o'clock in the 
morning of that day my  assistance to   

kill her husband1 but ,i understood1    
that if ,i would follow  the direction  
of my leader1 he would reveal it in due 
time1 ,i knew1 that  at that spirit     
battle1 at which that female was taken  
under the  protection of our leaders1   
the principal champion was the martyr   
,john  ,george ,zeigler1 an ,american of
 ,german descent1 who in his mortal body
  studied deeper than any other man1 my 
five ,german volumes1 and forsook  then 
all for our holy mission4 ,while he was 
travelling in a steamboat he  was pushed
 into the ,ohio ,river by an enemy of   
our holy mission1 and  departed into the
 spirit world1 in which he received such
 offices as he  was most qualified for  
them4 ,he having been the principal     
amongst those  who took the woman in    
protection1 while she asked my          
assistance1 ,i  thought1 that if ,i     
would write to him questions1 ,i would  
receive the  information1 who that woman
 was4 ,it is to be understood1 that ,mr4
  ,mansfield wished1 that ,i should     

write so1 that he could not see what ,i 
wrote1 and then to wrap my writing1 to  
which the spirit had to give  answers4  
,but ,i thought ,i could write in       
,german1 because ,i was certain  that   
,mr4 ,mansfield could not read ,german4 
,therefore ,i said to ,mr4  ,mansfield1 
that ,i determined to write in the      
,german language to the  spirit whom ,i 
had in my mind1 to whom while he was a  
mortal1 ,i wrote  sometimes in ,german1 
sometimes in ,english1 but he answered  
always my  letters in ,english1 and he1 
if he is present1 will answer also      
through  you in ,english4 ,but ,mr4     
,mansfield remarked1 that ,i should     
write my  questions in ,english1 that he
 had lately great troubles with         
questions  which have been sent by ,otto
 ,kunz from ,pittsburgh in the ,german  
language  to his departed1 and that the 
last number of the ,spirit ,age         
contained an  article of ,otto ,kunz in 
this respect4 ,i remarked1 that ,i was  
acquainted  with ,otto ,kunz1 7he is the

 learned chemist1 by whom ,i was        
preparing my  way in this treatise1 for 
what follows7 but that ,i did not hear  
anything  about him for a long time1 7to
 wit1 since the summer of #ahef1 when ,i
 saw  him the last time before my       
meeting with ,mr4 ,mansfield74 ,i added 
that ,i  should like to see1 what ,otto 
,kunz had published4 ,he brought then   
from  an other room the number of the   
,spiritual ,age1 which has the date     
,december #dth #ahei4 ,it must be added1
 that ,i had not before looked into     
that number1 nor heard anything about   
,otto ,kunz's article4 ,but when ,mr4   
,mansfield handed me that number1 ,i    
read ,mr4 ,kunz's article laid the      
paper on the table and said to ,mr4     
,mansfield3 ,i will write in ,english to
  the spirit whom ,i have in my mind4 ,i
 had yet ,john ,george ,zeigler in my   
mind2 but when ,i took the pencil1 ,i   
was impressed to write to ,charlotte    
,kunz 7the departed wife of ,otto ,kunz7
 in ,english1 in the supposition1  that 

she could not write ,english1 while she 
was a mortal1 and that also  in the     
spirit world she did not learn to write 
,english1 that therefore  to my ,english
 address we must receive some unexpected
 disclosures4 ,i  wrote therefore while 
the medium ,mr4 ,mansfield turned in the
 opposite  direction1 that he could not 
see1 what ,i wrote3 ,charlotte ,kunz1 if
 you  are present1 please to write what 
you find proper4 ,i folded my writing1  
that ,mansfield could not see it4 ,he   
was soon entranced1 and gave the  signs1
 from which ,i understood1 that she was 
the person who asked at #c  o'clock     
,a4,m4 my assistance1 and then the      
communication was written by  ,mr4      
,mansfield in a correct ,english style  
and correct orthography and  signed     
,charlotte ,kunz4 ,the communication    
contains characteristic  marks1 that the
 controlling spirit was intimately      
connected with deep  mysteries explained
 in my ,german books1 but that he was   
not the writer1  but one of the company 

belonging to ,j4 ,v4 ,mansfield's       
guardians1 wrote  through him according 
to the wishes of ,charlotte ,kunz1 but  
wrote so1 as  if she herself had        
written4 ,after the communication       
directed to me has  been written1 and   
,mr4 ,mansfield reduced into his normal 
state1 ,i  requested him1 to copy the   
communication1 and to give the original 
and  the copy to me2 because ,i was     
asked in the communication by ,charlotte
  ,kunz1 professing that she was the    
writer1 that ,i might write to her      
husband4 ,the handwriting of the copy   
was different from the original4 ,i     
preserved the copy and sent the original
 to ,otto ,kunz1 with my  handwriting1  
remarking1 that that communication has  
been produced by his  wife under the    
assistance of our leaders1 that he1     
,otto ,kunz1 might  contribute his share
 for starting the centre of our ,peace  
,union4 ,i have  quoted in my writings  
to ,otto ,kunz one of the characteristic
 notes  testifying that the             

communication had certainly been        
produced under the  assistance or       
control of my leaders4 ,and that        
characteristic note had  reference to   
,dante's ,prophecy in the #cc;d ,song of
 ,purgatory4 ,i speak of  that prophecy 
in the ,epistle to which we are         
preparing the way4 ,i have  explained   
also to ,mr4 ,kunz several years before 
my meeting with his  departed wife the  
substance of that prophecy4 ,i thought1 
if he at the  receipt of that unexpected
 communication would remember my        
explanation  of that prophecy and other 
testimonies of my mission1 he would not 
be  too hasty in judging about what he  
could not understand in the             
communication but would expect my       
farther explanation regarding my        
communication2 because the explanation  
could not be given in a letter1  and he 
was also not prepared in those          
circumstances to study the  treatise in 
which that communication is copied      
verbatim1 and the  preparation for its  

understanding and its explanation is    
given1 and that  treatise would have    
been published instead of this treatise1
 if we would  not have prefered this in 
the expectation1 that this might be more
  congruous to the present ,european    
,war1 which gives me opportunity to     
exhort nations and governments4 ,and for
 this purpose1 to communicate  other    
important things in this treatise1 we   
give only an epitome of the  treatise   
which will be published in another      
convenient time4 ,but ,mr4  ,mansfield  
who has astonished many people in all   
quarters of the ,globe by  having given 
more than forty thousand answers to     
sealed letters directed  to departed    
persons1 became so remarkable1 that he  
in connexion with the  well known       
spiritualist ,otto ,kunz deserved a     
peculiar treatise1 and  appears also in 
this connexion of matters as a peculiar 
witness2 because  that which has been   
made evident in many cases in which we  
tried  remarkable mediums1 was in a     

peculiar manner confirmed1 while we     
tried  the spirits of ,j4 ,v4           
,mansfield1 to wit1 that he has certain 
guardians by  whom many are deluded1    
because those guardians give through him
 answers  which are found correct1 when 
they reach and control the writers of   
the  sealed letters directed to their   
departed4 ,but when this is not the     
case1 answers are not correct4 ,mr4     
,mansfield told me1 that the largest    
portion of his answers is correct4 ,such
 points in regard to the  relations in  
which the departed have been with the   
inquirers are  revealed in the answers1 
as ,mr4 ,mansfield could not know them4 
,from this  circumstance is also        
explicable1 how people could be so      
moved1 that he  had received many       
thousands of letters1 although each     
applicant had to  send one dollar fee to
 the medium1 and three dollars in case  
of a  guarantee that either an answer1  
if received would be sent1 or the money 
returned4 ,when we speak of correct     

statements in many cases1 we add that   
in those communications was much of     
delusion regarding the spirit world4    
,at length when the measure of          
abominations was filled1 ,i had to try  
his  spirits in the manner1 the         
substance of which is given in this     
epitome1  the treatise being prepared to
 be published1 whenever a publisher is  
ready to publish a new book1 which would
 contain that and other  treatises4     
,from that treatise it is evident1 that 
when ,otto ,kunz wrote  his letter to   
his departed wife and sent it to ,mr4   
,mansfield to be  answered by his       
mediumship1 the tyrants by whom ,mr4    
,mansfield is  guarded1 took her under  
their subjection4 ,but to give in a new 
manner a  most solemn warning to all    
spiritualists who will not progress on  
our  ground1 ,i was sent to ,mansfield1 
and our guardians took under their      
control ,charlotte ,kunz and the spirits
 who are writing through ,mr4           
,mansfield4 ,the enemies of the truth1  

that departed spirits may use men  as   
their writingrnediums must explain the  
answers by assertions which in  most    
cases appear most ridiculous1 for       
instance1 ,i heard the assertion1  that 
,mansfield opens the letters4 ,but he   
returns sealed letters as he  receives  
them2 although we would not deny the    
possibility of temptation  to open one  
or the other letter of persons1 with    
whom his guardians were  not congenial1 
and therefore could not give an answer4 
,but if ,i had  shown to him my line    
directed to the departed ,charlotte     
,kunz1 although  he has been before that
 in correspondence with her husband1    
,mr4  ,mansfield with all his guardians 
would not have been able to give the    
characteristic notes which are in the   
communication testifying1 that  some of 
our leaders was the superior1 while ,j4 
,v4 ,mansfield's guardian  was writing  
that communication with ,charlotte      
,kunz's signature1 although  there are  
the strongest marks in the              

communication1 that she could not  write
 it1 but that a deluding and destroying 
guardian of ,j4 ,v4 ,mansfield  wrote   
it1 partly according to her wishes1     
partly according to his own  impulse1   
partly according to the dictation of our
 leader who controlled  him1 that he    
inserted the characteristic notes given 
by our leader4 ,this  is the epitome of 
that treatise1 which was to be given in 
this treatise  as a peculiar preparation
 to my epistle to the ,bishops of       
,illyria4 ,but  before we commence to   
translate it1 we must add also the      
following  remarks4 ,when our leaders   
compel in one place the ,secret ,enemies
 of  ,true ,republicanism to bring to   
daylight their abominations for our     
peculiar use to enlighten this degraded 
generation1 they send us  corresponding 
testimonies also from other places1 and 
we have collected  in said treatise some
 extraordinary testimonies for an       
illustration of  the answers of the     
sealed letters by ,j4 ,v4 ,mansfield's  

mediumship4 ,a  peculiar witness in this
 repect was ,doctor ,randolph1 whose    
spirits ,i  tried several years before  
my meeting with ,mansfield2 but he was  
not  ready to be converted from darkness
 to the light which is kindled by our   
disclosures4 ,at length when ,i tried   
,mansfield's spirits1 newspapers        
commenced to publish ,dr4 ,randolph's   
confessions4 ,he tells3 ,i was a  medium
 about eight years1 during which time ,i
 made three thousand  speeches1 c4 ,and 
to day ,i had rather seen the ,cholera  
in my house  than be a spiritual medium6
 for years ,i have lived alone for      
spiritualism and its cognates4          
,henceforth ,i live to combat many of   
the  identical doctrines that ,i once   
accepted as ,heavenly truths4 ,i enter  
the arena1 says he as the champion of   
common sense1 against what in my  soul  
,i believe to be the most tremendous    
enemy of ,god1 morals and  religion1    
that ever found foothold on the         
earth--the most seductive1  hence most  

dangerous form of sensualism that ever  
cursed a nation1 age  or people4 ,if    
,dr4 ,randolph had been brought from    
spirits of delusion on  our ground1 he  
would have assisted us to open the door 
for the ,new ,era4  ,but he returned to 
the sects1 from which spirits commenced 
to manifest  themselves in their        
materialistic deluding manner1 till we  
commenced to  show1 what they were1 and 
then they commenced to be caught in     
their  lies1 and many spiritualists     
commenced to be scared2 but they would  
not  progress on our ground1 and        
returned to professed materialism and   
sectarianism4 ,but the concentration of 
all abominations of the perverted       
spiritualism is in the ,papal ,imperial 
,royal ,courts4 ,many spirits delude    
monarchs and their supporters either    
openly by peculiar manifestations1  or  
without such manifestations deceiving   
secretly monarchs and  supporters1 that 
they prepare at length for war and      
commence to fight in  horrible battles1 

which is the highest manifestation of   
the infernal  furies4 ,that they might  
stop this abominable work in which they 
are now  engaged1 ,i wrote the following
 epistle1 which ,i give in a free       
translation1 and then ,i will add some  
remarks for a conclusion of this        
treatise4 ,you will find in this epistle
 some repetitions of what has  been     
mentioned in the first treatise of this 
book1 because when they  were setting   
that in type ,i did not think about     
writing this treatise in  which what is 
repeated1 should be repeated so often   
till it is  comprehended4    ,the       
,epistle is entitled3         ,most     
important events for rulers of nations4 
,to ,p4 ,t4 ,anthony ,slomshek1 ,prince 
,bishop of ,laibach4 ,long ,island1     
,state of ,new-,york1 ,june #acth #ahei4
    ,reverend ,bishop6 ,being in        
occupations of my office on this        
anniversary  of momentous events on this
 ,island1 ,i am impressed by the spirit 
who has  brought me to ,america1 to     

write again after a long interruption1  
to my  native country1 and to direct my 
,epistle to you1 to communicate copies  
of it also to the bishops of ,triest and
 ,goricia4 ,i asseverate before  you1   
three witnesses1 that ,i am not guilty  
of the blood which is shed in  the      
present terrible war2 although ,i would 
be most guilty1 if ,i had not           
faithfully fulfilled the duties of my   
charge4 ,if those to whom ,i have       
written at ,vienna1 in our native       
country1 and also in other countries of 
,europe1 had discharged as              
conscientiously the duties of their     
office1 as  ,i did those of my office1  
the promised universal peace would have 
been  established not only in the whole 
of ,europe1 but also in other parts of  
the globe4 ,but whereas there was       
deficiency in respect to the            
intellectual and moral preparations of  
those who were in the office1 the       
terrible consequences therof are more   
and more visible4 ,to bishops ,i  write 

usually in ,latin4 ,but this epistle    
should be delivered by you to  the      
government of ,austria1 and published to
 the nations not only in  ,german1 but  
also in as many other languages as      
possible4    ,prince ,bishop ,anthony   
,slomshek6 ,having had more opportunity 
than others  who are at present bishops 
under the ,austrian government1 to      
obtain  knowledge about me during my    
residence in ,europe and by wise        
providence  having become a bishop of   
the diocese1 in which ,i was born1      
educated and  ordained a priest1 ,i     
expect that you will receive light from 
the spirit1  to comprehend correctly the
 hints which may be concentrated into   
the  space of an ordinary epistle4 ,you 
know that ,i had from my youth an       
extraordinary desire to search not only 
the ,jewish and ,christian but  also the
 antiquities of other nations1 and to   
compare the results of my               
investigations with what others have    
brought to light in former times  and   

recently1 to find out1 how the promised 
universal peace will be  established4   
,after my having been six years secular 
priest of the  diocese of ,laibach1 ,i  
entered the ,benedictine ,order of the  
,monastery of  ,saint ,paul in          
,carinthia1 for the purpose of obtaining
 more time and  opportunity in that     
order which furnishes learned           
professors1 than in my  native country  
for a continuation of my investigations 
for the peace of  nations4 ,after my    
having searched two years in the library
 of the  monastery1 ,i became ,professor
 of ,biblical ,literature in            
,clagenfurt1 and  in that city ,i became
 acquainted with you1 you having been   
there  ,spiritual ,adviser of ,students 
of ,divinity4    ,during the ten years  
of my ,professorship ,i had opportunity 
to examine  many points1 which ,i would 
never have had opportunity to examine in
 the  ,diocese of ,laibach4 ,but ,i did 
not know that the spirit who was my     
guide  from my youth1 was preparing me  

for the office which has been entrusted 
to me in ,america4 ,moreover1           
notwithstanding ,i had from my youth    
peculiar  inclination to study the      
,bible and to read not only the writings
 of the  ,church ,fathers but also the  
writings of the old ,heathen and ,jews  
for the  purpose of getting more light  
on the ,bible1 during the last ten years
 of  my ,professorship ,i did not yet   
know that the office with which ,i am   
commissioned in ,america1 had been      
manifoldly prophesied in the ,bible1    
and the prophecy repeated by prophets of
 the christian centuries as well  as in 
our time by images suitable to the      
seasons4 ,neither had ,i any  thought to
 make a voyage to ,america1 till the    
spirit of truth showed by  evident      
testimonials1 that he called me to this 
country4 ,then he opened  also the way  
for me hither so wonderfully1 that      
although the ,prelate of  the monastery 
of ,saint ,paul resisted with all his   
power1 and the monks  who were my       

friends1 united with him to hinder my   
voyage1 ,emperor  ,ferdinand was        
enlightened to let me have my passport  
to ,america4    ,signs and wonders      
preceded and accompanied my voyage to   
,america1 and ,i  reached this continent
 first in ,boston of the ,state of      
,massachusetts on  my birth-day1        
,november #bi1 #ahcg4 ,in that city all 
that was required for  the continuation 
of our work1 has been so prepared by    
invisible agents1  that although ,i had 
not the least foreboding to remain in   
that city1 ,i  became convinced by the  
signs which happened there1 that in the 
,roman  ,catholic ,cathedral ,church in 
,boston important ocupations had been   
prepared for me4 ,i did not yet know the
 particular occupations3 but ,i         
followed faithfully the directions of   
the spirit and performed in that  church
 all1 that had been shown to be         
performed by me4 ,on the #gth of        
,january1 #ahch1 one hundred and        
forty-four witnesses signed their names 

in my catalogue4 ,also those witnesses  
were guided by invisible agents in  such
 a manner1 that they1 too1 performed in 
that church1 what was  required of them1
 so that on ,easter ,sunday1 ,april #ae1
 #ahch1 in the  ,cathedral ,church in   
,boston1 in the presence of these #add  
and many other  witnesses by my         
instrumentality the solemn              
excommunication of the ,beast  with     
seven heads and ten horns from the      
,church of ,christ has been  performed1 
that is1 solemn declaration has been    
made1 that the mysteries  which are     
contained in those figuritive           
expressions1 do not belong to  the      
,church of ,christ and must be therefore
 abolished from the earth4 ,a  long     
chain of signs1 according to the        
prophecies1 preceded that               
excommunication1 and signs succeeded and
 are continually repeated4 ,by  these   
signs our mission1 that is1 my mission  
and the mission of my  fellow labourers 
has been confirmed1 and the dreadful    

condition of those  who are opposed to  
our action has been most evidently      
developed4 ,in the  years #ahch and     
#ahci the first two volumes of          
,memorable ,events appeared  in print4  
,those events took place in my          
experience for a testimony1 that        
,christ appears by ,his messengers for  
the foundation of the promised  peace on
 earth4 ,a box of those volumes was sent
 to the ,emperor of  ,austria1 and my   
written explanation was given1 that in  
my books the will  of the most ,high    
,majesty has been made manifest1 to whom
 ,emperors and  ,kings are bound to     
submit and to learn to know the events  
which have  been explained in my books  
and to become with us messengers of     
peace to  the nations1 and for this     
purpose to give my books to the best    
theologians for the strictest           
examination1 that the result of their   
examination might be sent to me1 to be  
published with my remarks1 that  nations
 might learn what is required for the   

foundation of the peace of  the world4  
,i assured the ,emperor1 that dreadful  
revolutions and wars  will be the       
consequence if my advice will be        
rejected4    ,after having received no  
answer to my writings to the ,emperor1  
to the  parson of his court1 to a number
 of bishops and other influential men of
  the ,empire1 and ,a4,d4 #ahdj1 my     
third volume appeared1 in which was     
shown1  that the unexpected events which
 have been explained in the first and   
second volumes1 happened according to   
prophecies1 and would not have  been    
unexpected to bishops1 if they had      
studied prophecies and observed  the    
signs of the times1 and reflected upon  
the disclosures given by our            
forerunners upon these matters1 ,i did  
not send that volume straightway  to    
,austria1 but ,i sent a box of all three
 volumes to the ,king of  ,bavaria1 with
 a similar written warning to the ,king1
 as in the preceding  year to the       
,emperor of ,austria1 and with the most 

urgent demand1 that  after the ,emperor 
of ,austria and his bishops had         
neglected to fulfil  their highest duty1
 he should become the messenger of peace
 to all other  monarchs and open the way
 to the circulation of our message4 ,at 
the same  time a copy of all three      
volumes was sent to the ,king of ,france
 with the  most urgent written petition 
that he should order without delay a    
,french  translation of the three       
volumes to be spread everywhere in      
,france1 and  our solemn assurence was  
added1 that1 if he neglects to fulfil   
this  highest duty1 ,revolutions and    
,wars will be the necessary consequence 
of  this neglect4    ,in an ordinary    
epistle farther hints cannot be given in
 regard to what  was done on our side1  
to move the one or the other government 
to order  the strictest examination of  
our message1 which contains the means   
for  abolition,u of all ,revolutions and
 for the foundation of the universal    
peace on the whole globe2 but ,i remark1

 that when they would not hear  our     
warning voice1 ,revolution broke out in 
,february1 #ahdh1 under such            
preparatory1 concomitant signs1 and     
under such corresponding events1  that  
after having studied those events in my 
writings which have been  after that    
partly published in the ,english        
language partly preserved for           
publication1 you will see1 that1 after  
our warnings given under ,heavenly      
inspiration had been contemptuously     
rejected1 the infernal furies had       
received the power1 to commence to      
spread the flood of ,revolution  exactly
 on the same day1 which gives the most  
evident testimony1 that  ,revolution    
broke out according to a higher         
calculation on account of the  contempt 
of our message of peace4    ,emperor    
,ferdinand having been compelled by that
 ,revolution to issue a  constitution1  
,i read that constitution in a newspaper
 on the #ahth of  ,april1 #ahdh1 and was
 moved on the #aith ,april1 which was   

the birth-day of  the ,emperor1 to give 
him in consequence of my charge a       
written assurance  that by that         
constitution the government and people  
will be saved from  ruin1 if the        
,emperor accepts my offer2 because in   
this case ,i was ready1  to start       
directly for ,vienna1 and show how the  
,free ,press which was  guarantied by   
the constitution1 would be properly used
 for developing  and spreading truth1 as
 people have a right to demand1 and its 
abuse  impeded1 as the government is    
bound to impede it4 ,i have given the   
,emperor the assurance1 that this1 our  
offer1 was made under higher  direction 
for the true happiness of the ,imperial 
,family and the people4  ,i have sent in
 the same writing our proclamation to   
the nations of the  empire1 and exhorted
 the emperor1 that if he would write to 
me1 that ,i  should come to ,vienna1 he 
should at the same time publish our     
proclamation in all languages of the    
empire2 because1 if he accomplishes     

this1 by our use of the free press the  
door will be opened for the             
introduction of the promised peace of   
the world1 but on the contrary          
revolutions and wars would be repeated  
and governments and nations  ruined4    
,those highly momentous documents were  
sent to the minister of  the ,austrian  
government in ,washington to be         
forwarded to the emperor4  ,informatian 
was given to the minister in my next    
letter1 to which post  office he should 
send the answer1 if he should receive   
any for me from  the ,austrian          
government4 ,after having thus notified 
him ,i have received  no answer2 but    
very important signs were given of the  
approaching war in  which the emperor   
resigned the throne and ,hungary was    
wasted4    ,the three monarchs to whom  
my books have been sent1 but who have   
neglected to make use of the means      
contained therein for the peace of      
nations1 have been compelled to give up 
their thrones1 but nations could  not   

become partakers of the promise of the  
universal peace2 because it  will not be
 established by the sword but by the    
means contained in our  message of      
peace1 and we have received so many     
signs according to  prophecies as       
evidences of our mission1 that whereas  
since the year #ahch  to #ahdb five     
volumes have been written in this       
respect1 ,i repeated while  ,i was      
writing the fifth volume1 that five     
hundred volumes could be  written1 if we
 would continue to explain prophecies of
 past ages and  their development in the
 preparations for our mission and during
 our  mission1 and the signs by which   
our mission is confirmed4 ,but we have  
explained superabundance of them1       
because by our explanation the  dreadful
 condition of governments and nations   
has been disclosed4 ,signs  continue    
steadily1 although the blind leaders of 
the blind1 while the  ,lord appears as a
 thief1 comprehend them as little1 as   
the ,pharisees  did1 when ,christ       

appeared and prophesied the destruction 
of the city and  the temple4            
,confined to a common letter1 ,i can    
give only some hints4 ,while the        
terrible war was raging principally in  
,hungary1 ,i laboured industriously  at 
the commencement of the year #ahdi to   
move the ,american bishops1 to  appear  
either personally or to send their      
,theologians to a convention in  the    
city of ,new ,york1 to whom ,i offered  
to read in the ,latin language my       
system for the abolition of revolutions 
and ,wars and introduction of the       
world's peace4    ,i did all ,i could to
 move the bishops to attend our ,latin  
convention1  and to make as many        
objections and remarks as they would    
find suitable1  although all must have  
been made in writing and handed to me1  
to be  annexed with my remarks to my    
system and published in ,latin and in   
translations1 that men everywhere1 could
 learn our message of peace and  all    
nations might become partakers of the   

greatest promises and the  world's peace
 could be established4    ,after bishops
 had neglected their highest duty1 ,i   
translated the ,latin  system into      
,english and ,german1 and made most     
urgent applications to  several         
,presidents and to congressmen of the   
,united ,states1 to move the  ,american 
government1 to assemble a convention for
 the same object1 for  which ,i         
endeavoured to move bishops4 ,in the    
meantime ,lewis ,kossuth  arrived in    
,america1 and ,i considered it to be my 
peculiar duty1 to make  use of what was 
in my power1 to direct him from the     
spirit of  destruction to peace and to  
explain to him my system in which is    
shown1  how without soldiers the rights 
of men will be restored and the peace of
  the world established4 ,after several 
letters of preparation1 at length ,i    
met personally with him in ,cincinnati4 
,but he was cunning and let me  come to 
him in company with others1 and when ,i 
required to speak  privately with him1  

he excused himself with not having time 
to speak  with me privately1 and        
directed me to ,count ,pulski1 who was  
his  associate4 ,i paid to this man     
several visits1 and shewed to him that  
it  was necessary for ,kossuth and his  
assistants1 to study my system and to   
retire with me for this purpose4 ,but   
the result of all my labour was1  that  
at length ,kossuth had sent to me the   
message that it was impossible  for him 
to give up his plan4 ,he is a strong    
,medium1 as those are  called here who  
are possessed1 and those who are        
possessed by destroying  spirits1 have  
their work1 to torment rulers or also to
 destroy them1 if  they will not find   
salvation in our message of peace4      
,having here only opportunity to give   
hints on points1 on which ,i could      
write volumes1 ,i remark1 that when the 
,american government could not be  moved
 to call a convention for an examination
 of our message of peace1 ,i  wrote1    
when ,emperor ,napoleon ,,iii4 was      

preparing for war against ,russia1  to  
his ambassador in ,washington1 that the 
emperor would gather together  the      
highest merits for himself and mankind1 
if he1 instead of the war  preparations 
against ,russia1 would call bishops of  
his empire to ,paris1  to examine with  
me my ,latin system for the foundation  
of the world's  peace4 ,by doing this he
 would make himself and his friends and 
at the  same time all nations happy2 but
 in the opposite course he would prepare
  misfortune for himself and ,france4 ,i
 assured the ambassador of the  ,french 
government in ,washington1 that if he   
before he would write to the  emperor1  
himself wished to be convinced of my    
assertion1 ,i was ready if  he would    
call me1 to come myself to ,washington  
and to explain to him my  system as long
 as would be necessary to convince him1 
that we have truly  received from       
,heaven the commission and credentials  
for the foundation  of the worlds peace1
 and that those regents will be in this 

and in the  future life most unhappy1   
who refuse to accept our invitation4 ,i 
have  received no answer from the       
ambassador of the ,french government4   
,although ,i am writing very closely in 
my advanced age without  spectacles1    
which ,i never used in my life1 ,i have 
very little space in  a common letter1  
to mention also the following items3    
,the nearer we were  approaching to the 
present ,revolutionary ,wars in ,europe 
the stronger  were also the signs of    
warning1 and they are building just now 
on the  land which has been bought for  
our ,peace-,union1 a hall for our       
conventions1 in which our system for the
 foundation of the world's peace  will  
be explained and messengers of peace    
will be educated to be sent in  all     
quarters of the world4 ,but whereas1    
before their labors will  establish the 
world's peace everywhere on the globe1  
all monarchs and  their families might  
be exterminated1 if they would not make 
use of the  means for the foundation of 

the world's peace1 ,i write this letter 
on  this ,feast of ,pentecost and       
anniversary of momentous events4 ,your  
predecessor1 ,anthony ,aloysy ,wolf1    
,prince-,bishop of ,laibach1 was one of 
those ,prince ,wolves1 who have received
 my first two volumes1 but were  not    
prepared to study them1 and to proclaim 
to ,emperor ,ferdinand and to  the      
nations1 the great things which the     
,lord has done4 ,those wolves have      
deceived in regard to our mission the   
,emperor1 the priests and the  people1  
and by this deception they became the   
originators of all those  murders1 which
 have been perpetrated in revolutions   
and wars and  manifold other manners1   
which would have been prevented by      
receiving and  spreading our message of 
peace4 ,these are the fruits1 when      
wolves are  made pastors of nations6 ,by
 murders which are perpetrated in       
revolutions1 wars and other ways1 those 
who are murdered1 are turned  into      
infernal furies1 instead of having been 

converted by suitable  education1 into  
,heavenly ,angels4 ,by these furies     
which have been  murdered in revolutions
 and wars1 nations which are now living1
 are  instigated to murders in          
revolutions and wars and in manifold    
other  manners and also to all kinds of 
other criminal deeds1 the atmosphere is 
disturbed and men are tormented with all
 kinds of plagues1 and if they  are not 
murdered cruelly by force1 their lives  
are shortened manifoldly1  so that also 
those who live longest1 would have lived
 much longer1 if it  would have been    
introduced amongst nations and duly     
used1 what we know1  but cannot use till
 governments introduce that which we    
demand4    ,i was ,professor of         
,divinity in ,babylon which is spoken of
 in the  ,revelation2 but whereas ,i was
 sincerely searching after truth for my 
own  and the welfare of my fellow-men1  
matters have been disclosed to me1      
which ,i had never expected1 while ,i   
was prepared without my knowledge by    

invisible agents for my present charge4 
,according to this charge ,i am  now    
,professor of ,divinity or              
,church-,doctor for the promised        
peaceable  ,reign of ,god on ,earth4 ,as
 ,church-doctor ,i will teach bishops   
and priests  as well as monarchs and    
other grandees of the kingdoms of this  
world1  when they will be ready to hear 
the ,heavenly voice which is made       
manifest through so feeble an instrument
 as ,i am1 how to pacify the  furies    
into which men are converted by murders 
and how to draw them into  the          
resurrection1 that is1 from their low to
 a higher condition4 ,my  apostolic name
 which ,i have obtained on the feast of 
the apostle ,andrew1  ,november #cj1    
#agie1 is ,andrew4 ,but when on the     
#cjth ,november1 #ahbf1 at  the solemn  
profession of the ,benedictine order ,i 
adopted by higher  impulse the name     
,bernardus1 then also ,pope ,leo ,,xii4 
was inspired1 that  he promulgated      
,bernardus a ,church-doctor4 ,he in his 

shortsightedness1  had in his mind the  
celebrated monk of the twelth century4  
,but neither  that monk who was         
preaching crusades1 nor ,pope ,leo      
,,xii4 knew1 that  ,turks1 heretics and 
other nations will be converted in true 
,christians  without blood shedding and 
,christ's peaceable reign will be       
established  on the whole earth4 ,but   
the ,pope spoke as prophet of our       
mission who was  at that time ,high     
,priest and prophesied1 that1 whereas ,i
 adopted in the  prophetical profession 
of the ,benedictine ,order the name     
,bernardus1 ,i  had to pass as monk     
through the last epoch of my studies of 
preparations  for my present charge1    
till ,i became ,doctor ,ecclesi1        
,church-,doctor1  teaching what bishops 
and doctors of ,divinity do not         
understand1  although it is highly      
necessary for the peace of nations4     
,from my first  arrival in the          
,benedictine ,order1 when ,i determined 
to live there1 till  ,i started for     

,america1 exactly twelve years passed4  
,by the memorable events which happened 
in the ,cathedral ,church in  ,boston1 a
 key was given us to unlock prophecies1 
which have been before  either entirely 
locked1 or only in some measure         
unlocked4 ,some  interpreters have      
known1 that the seven churches in the   
second and  third chapters of the       
,revelation were prophetical churches1  
typifying  the seven states1 to which   
all churches of the ,christian name     
since the  edition of the ,revelation   
until the foundation of the universal   
peace on  earth may be reduced1 so that 
every portion of the ,christian name    
belongs to the one or the other of the  
seven churches4 ,in the third of  the   
above mentioned volumes1 we1 that is1 ,i
 under the direction of  invisible      
assistants1 have disclosed so much      
regarding the fulfilment of  the        
prophecies in our time1 as is abundantly
 sufficient for testimony of  our       
mission4 ,in our disclosure ,thyatira in

 the #ahth verse of the second  chapter 
of the ,revelation is the type of the   
,roman ,catholic ,church4 ,what  is said
 concerning that church until the end of
 that chapter1 you  ,bishops should at  
length consider and digest well4 ,you   
kept fast what  you did not understand1 
till at length the ,lord comes by our   
mission1  and unlocks by our mediumship 
the ,divinity for ,his ,reign of peace4 
,we  have overcome and to us was given  
the ,rod of ,iron and the ,morning      
,star4 ,i speak in the name of all those
 who are co-operating with me  according
 to the ,plan of the ,most ,high for the
 universal peace of all  nations4 ,we   
have the iron rod1 but not the iron     
sword4 ,the iron rod is  only a symbol  
of our office to announce judgments to  
the disobedient  nations and to their   
rulers4 ,they are bruised enough and    
broken4 ,those  who remain1 should at   
length hear our voice1 then their wrong 
systems  will be broken to pieces1 but  
men will be saved4 ,for we have received

  not only the iron rod1 but also the   
morning star4 ,in the great  temptations
 through which we had to pass1 we       
remembered the morning star  which      
appeared several times during the sun   
shine in close connexion  with our      
steps1 and once in a peculiar connection
 with you1 ,prince  ,bishop ,anthony    
,slomshek6 as well as in connection with
 the ,emperor of  ,austria6 ,you        
remember that ,i wrote at a certain     
occasion my opinion in  regard to your  
sermons which appeared in print in our  
,slavonian mother  tongue1 and in that  
my article ,i made also some extracts   
from my ,latin  manuscript1 ,on the     
congeniality of languages,v1 to publish 
them with  that article in the          
,carinthia,w4 ,i finished writing that  
article on  the #fth ,february1 #ahce4  
,when ,i was on the #gth ,february well 
nigh ready  to go to my students in the 
college1 ,i was moved by the spirit to  
write  instantly a prophetical          
conclusion to that article4 ,when ,i    

finished that  conclusion1 ,i hurried to
 be in the college4 ,after that there   
was much  talking among the ,professors 
and others about the morning star which 
appeared on that forenoon during        
sunshine4 ,i explored exactly the time1 
and found that the star appeared1 when  
,i commenced writing that  prophetical  
conclusion1 and disappeared1 when ,i    
finished writing4 ,i  handed then that  
article to you1 to deliver it to the    
editor of the  ,carinthia4 ,but there   
occured an accident1 that the article   
appeared  later than ,i expected1 so in 
the ,carinthia1 that the last part with 
the  great prophecy regarding the peace 
of nations was published on ,easter     
,saturday ,april #ah1 #ahce1 or on the  
,eve of the birth-day of the ,emperor   
,ferdinand the first year of his        
government4 ,his birth day was          
celebrated  that year on ,easter        
,sunday4 ,an exact calculation was made 
by our  invisible agents4 ,the poems of 
two panegyrists of the birthday of the  

,emperor appeared in the same number    
immediately before our prophecy4  ,those
 two adulators were types of the two    
adulators1 ,joseph ,pletz ,parson  of   
the ,imperial ,court1 and ,anthony      
,alosy ,wolf1 ,prince ,bishop of        
,laibach4  ,these two prelates have     
deluded the ,emperor in regard to our   
mission1  and as a consequence terrible 
judgments came upon governments and     
nations4 ,but this writing is connected 
with the ,morning ,star1 which  should  
be delivered by you to the young        
,emperor ,francis ,joseph and to  many  
nations as well as the ancestors of the 
,emperor1 who are waiting in  the       
,empire of death for their redemption by
 our ,message4 ,it should be  delivered 
by you in the midst of terrible         
judgments4 ,if you have the  spirit     
which ,i expect in you1 you yourself    
will carry this letter  without delay to
 the ,emperor1 and explain personally1  
what is necessary  for his resurrection 
and strength4 ,now he belongs in the    

#afth verse of  the #agth chapter of the
 ,,revelation4 ,kossuth1 ,mazzini and   
other heroes of  the ,revolution are    
preparing the ,harlot for ,emperors and 
,kings1 who are  fulfilling the         
judgments which are announced in that   
verse4 ,but we to  whom this victory is 
promised1 belong to those1 who are      
united with the  lamb in the #adth verse
 of the #agth chapter of the            
,,revelation and will  overcome the     
,beast and its ten horns4 ,to wit1 we   
have the chain1 with  which the ,dragon1
 the seducing and destroying ,serpent1  
will be bound and  cast into the abyss1 
,,revel4 xx3 #b1 ,that is the magnetic  
chain of events  of past times in       
connexion with events of this time4 ,in 
this chain the  genuine condition of the
 existing political and ecclesiastical  
governments appears in its true light1  
so that1 when this chain will be  duly  
spread and made known to ,nations1 they 
will be carried from the  existing      
,babylon into the ,new ,jerusalem4 ,who 

ever amongst the rulers  comprehends    
this and carries the people into the    
,new ,jerusalem1 into the  promised     
,reign of ,peace1 he himself and his    
family1 as well as his  departed or yet 
in mortal bodies living congenial       
relations will be  brought into the true
 happiness2 but on the contrary those   
rulers and  who are attached to them1   
who despise our apostolic voice1 will be
  exterminated4 ,judgement will not     
cease1 till at length it destroys       
themselves also4 ,i have given in this  
,epistle as many hints as are           
sufficient for such ,bishops who are not
 entirely dead1 to believe1 when  ,i    
assure them1 that1 in our writings it   
has been made clear and evident1  that  
our chain or our system1 which1 for     
,peace of ,nations1 should be  made     
known to all political and              
ecclesiastical ,governments1 is         
astronomically and historically correct4
 ,therefore that of the three  named    
bishops1 who receives first this        

,epistle1 should inform the other  two  
of the matter and summon them to go     
directly with him to the  ,emperor4 ,who
 comprehends this1 and is inspired by   
the ,holy ,ghost who is  our director1  
for the accomplishment of ,divine       
,decrees1 is with us a  messenger of    
,god4 ,he should as such appear before  
the ,emperor with this  ,epistle1 read  
to him the ,epistle1 and explain it1 and
 summon the ,emperor  to become with us 
a messenger of ,god1 and may he be      
seemingly in profit  or seemingly in    
loss in regard to the ,emperor          
,napoleon1 to send this  ,epistle to    
,emperor ,napoleon1 and require         
instantly an armistic under the         
condition1 that he is desirous to make  
immediately1 with condescension1  a     
treaty of ,peace1 to hear the ,messo di 
dio1 the messenger of ,god1  spoken of  
by the prophets of the ,old and ,new    
,testament as well as by the  prophets  
of the succeeding ages of the ,christian
 ,era1 and to fulfil the  will of the   

,most ,high for the welfare of nations4 
,amongst those  prophecies is one of the
 most remarkable in the #ccrd ,song of  
,purgatory  in the ,divine ,comedy of   
the great ,italian ,poet ,dante1 in     
which the  spirit ,beatrice1 ,dante's   
departed wife1 speaks of the five       
hundred1 ten  and five messenger of     
,god1 that is1 of ,smolnker messenger of
 ,god4    ,the number #ejj1 #aj and #e1 
that is the number #eae1 is opposed to  
the  number #fff in the ,revelation1    
xiii3 #ah4 ,the name which comprehends  
the  mysteries which are contained in   
the #agth and #ahth verses of the #acth 
chapter of the ,revelation and also the 
number #fff1 has been delivered  into   
our hands1 and all that belongs to the  
name1 has been explained in  my books1  
in which to obtain the number #fff1 we  
had to write the name  with ,greek      
letters1 because the ,revelation        
appeared in the ,greek  language4 ,and  
likewise also my name ,,smolnker1 as it 
was originally  exactly pronounced1 to  

wit1 with short o and short e must be   
written  with ,greek letters4 ,this was 
the exact pronunciation of my name1 as  
,i  heard it pronounced by my           
grandparents and my parents4 ,and the   
,greek  letters with short o and short e
 exactly pronounced in my name          
,,smolnker1 give exactly the number     
#eae1 which is the number of the        
messenger of ,god in ,dante's prophecy4 
,if you add this number to the year     
#acba1 in which ,dante died1 you obtain 
the year #ahcf4 ,the messenger of  ,god 
is in the quoted prophecy the same as   
the #c;d ,angel in ,revel1 xiv4  #i4    
,that the third ,angel regarding whom   
the prophecy commences in the #ith      
verse of the #adth chapter of the       
,revelation1 had to appear before the   
public about the year #ahcf1 and also   
that that ,angel or messenger would  not
 be a departed but a man living in his  
mortal body1 has been shown in  the last
 century by ,doctor ,bengel and his     
disciples using admirable  astronomical 

calculations by the means of the        
prophetical numbers in the  ,revelation4
 ,my first ,german teacher1 a           
,franciscan ,monk from ,bavaria1        
inserted the letter i into my name1 and 
taught me to write my name  ,,smolniker1
 till at length ,professor ,valentine   
,vodnik wrote my name as ,i  write it   
now4 ,the numbers of my name1 after     
having received those  changes1 if you  
calculate the years1 commencing with    
,dante's death1  give also highly       
important stopping points in the        
development of the  mysteries of the    
,theology for ,christ's peaceable reign4
 ,i can give in an  epistle only some   
hints4    ,by many of our forerunners   
many points have received partial       
disclosures1 or there have been prepared
 several links for the chain1  with     
which we will strangle the ,harlot and  
the ,giant who sins with the  ,harlot1  
without hurting the flock and the       
fields1 according to ,dante's  prophecy4
 ,this prophecy mentions also the stars 

by which our advent is  announced1 and  
in my books several apparitions of      
unexpected stars are  remembered in     
close connection with our office4 ,in   
,dante's prophecy is  the messenger of  
,god a collective name as well as the   
third ,angel or  messenger in the #ith  
verse of the #adth chapter of the       
,revelation4 ,one  man is representing  
the whole society by whom is            
accomplished what is  comprehended in   
the prophecy4 ,the representative had to
 execute and  explain the mystery4 ,at  
the expiration of the year #ahcf1 which 
year has  been so mysteriously announced
 by the prophets1 that ,i knew nothing  
about it1 ,i was called on the #eth day 
of ,january1 #ahcg1 at #e o'clock  p4m4 
to this office4 ,the call was delivered 
to me by an ,angel of the  ,lord1 that  
,i should make the resolution to prepare
 for my voyage to  ,america4 ,and when  
,i said3 ,o ,lord6 ,thy will be done6   
the same moment a  great light appeared 
over the ,city of ,klagenfurt1 where ,i 

was ,professor  of ,biblical ,literature
 and you were ,spiritual ,adviser in the
 ,theological  ,seminary4 ,you yourself 
have perhaps seen the light-ball1 or    
certainly  heard much and read in       
newspapers about it4 ,i myself have not 
seen it1  because ,i was in a deep      
trance and received at the same moment  
the order  by a ,heavenly messenger4    
,here is no space to say more about     
,dante's prophecy4 ,in my third volume  
of ,memorable ,events more than one     
hundred pages have been used for        
disclosing ,dante's strange prophecy    
regarding the ,messenger of ,god in  the
 #cc;d or the last ,song of ,purgatory1 
in connection with other  prophecies    
with which it is parallel and in        
connection with the  prophecies which   
have been given ,a4,d4 #ahad at the     
first distribution of  premiums after   
the fall of ,emperor ,napoleon ,i1 when 
our city of ,laibach  returned under the
 ,austrian government1 and ,i received  
,dante's ,divine  ,comedy for the first 

premium out of the ,italian language4   
,and whereas ,i  am labouring since my  
arrival in ,america with the greatest   
zeal to save  men and to bring them from
 ,purgatory into ,heaven1 warlike       
spirits are  murdering and casting them 
into hell4 ,yet ,i have great confidence
 that  by your intermediation not only  
the ,emperor of ,austria but also the   
,emperor of ,france will hear the       
,heavenly voice1 which is sounding in   
this letter4 ,i have written several    
months before the outbreak of this  war 
a book in the ,english language 7this   
same book from which we take  away other
 manuscript and publish this epistle17  
to publish it as soon  as circumstances 
will be favourable4 ,i have shown in    
that book by  peculiar events which     
occurred with ,emperor ,louis ,napoleon1
 but which  are not comprehended by him 
and his mediums till they study to know 
our  chain to bind the dragon1          
,revelation1 xx3 #b4 that ,emperor      
,napoleon is a  very strong medium of   

destroying spirits1 but that ,i foster  
the hope1  that he will comprehend our  
message of peace and draw also his      
,uncle  ,nepoleon ,i4 into our reign of 
peace and become a great apostle of     
peace  to the nations4    ,both         
,emperors1 the ,emperor of ,austria as  
well as the ,emperor of ,france1  will  
become truly great if they accept our   
message of ,peace1 which  contains the  
substance1 that they should directly    
conclude ,peace1 with  all mutual       
condescension and with our assurance1   
that soldiers who will  not be needed in
 ,god's ,keign of ,peace on ,earth1 will
 obtain according to  the plan which is 
to be published in the above mentioned  
book 7in this  book7 and which after the
 ,english edition may be translated also
 in  other languages1 occupations most  
suitable to their strength and the  best
 spiritual education1 to be truly happy 
in their mortal bodies as  well as after
 their departure4    ,but whereas no    
treaty of ,peace can be of duration in  

our time1 unless  the governments enter 
into ,christ's ,peaceable ,reign1 which 
to establish  we have obtained the      
mission1 you1 ,prince ,bishop ,anthony  
,slomshek1 and  also the other two      
witnesses who are bound to give you all 
possible  assistance1 are particularly  
summoned to recommend most urgently to  
both emperors1 as soon as they conclude 
an armistice and prepare the way  to the
 treaty of ,peace1 to appoint also a    
healthy place1 where according  to the  
geographical situation and other        
circumstances bishops of both  empires  
can easiest meet1 for our ,convention in
 which my ,latin  manuscript which      
should have been examined ,a4,d4 #ahdi  
by the ,american  ,bishops in the       
,convention which was appointed in the  
,city of ,new-,york1  is to be examined 
according to the same rules mentioned   
above1 and to  give me as well as the   
bishops information of this affair2     
because ,i am  ready to do all in my    
power for the ,peace of ,nations4 ,you1 

,bishop  ,anthony ,slomshek are         
requested1 to send me directly the      
result1 after  having received and read 
this letter in your ,consistory1 and    
direct your  letter to    ,,andrew ,b4  
,,smolnikar1  ,,donnally',s ,,mill1     
,,perry ,,county1  ,pennsylvania1 in    
,north ,america4    ,we cannot enter    
into explanations of the paints         
mentioned in this  ,epistle to ,bishop  
,anthony ,slomshek4 ,the substance of   
the remote and  recent causes of the war
 in ,europe and of the causes of all    
revolutions  and wars is1 that men are  
living on the surface1 in materialism1  
according to their animal lusts and     
passions1 using their reason to         
accomplish their animal desires1 and    
neglecting the one thing needful to     
grow in the knowledge of their true     
inner condition and the true  condition 
of the departed1 and in corresponding   
virtue for high spheres  of spirits to  
promote the true welfare of the whole   
human race while  they are promoting    

their own welfare4 ,the treasures which 
,i collected  from my early youth to    
this advanced age for the promotion of  
the common  welfare1 ,i carry with me   
into the spirit world4 ,but those who1  
instead  of having cultivated their     
inner man1 came on the surface into the 
materialistic life1 and lived according 
to their animal passions and  carnal    
lusts and according to the custom of    
their party and sect1 and  supported    
blindly the performances contained in   
the traditions and  systems which have  
been delivered to them by their         
predecessors1 were  preparing in their  
way for revolutions and wars1 instead of
 having  learned our disclosures that   
the time had arrived for the abolition  
of  the ,old ,heavens and the ,old      
,earth1 that is1 of the old             
ecclesiastical  and political           
institutions1 and how they are to be    
abolished in the most  peaceable manner4
    ,in this ignorance of things which  
have been disclosed in our              

publications1 those who keep up those   
,institutions1 come in collision  with  
those who endeavour to destroy them     
without knowledge of their  prophetical 
meaning and of the truth which is behind
 the vail of the  outward form1 and     
without preparation for a better state  
of human  affairs4 ,this collision is   
continuously preparing revolutions and  
wars4  ,men on the surface1 not knowing 
the right means for true liberty1 use   
the means which destroy not only        
liberty1 but also human life and        
property1 and life is wantonly          
destroyed1 because men in their dreadful
  degraded condition do not know how to 
appreciate it4 ,in this condition1  if  
the old systems would succeed so far as 
to crush down with absolute  despotism  
all movements for deliverance1 they     
could not keep for a long  time people  
in bondage of absolutism4 ,crevices     
would be always found1  from which the  
movements of the secret aspirations for 
liberty would  commence to be made      

manifest1 till the eruption of the flood
 of  revolution and war would effect    
great destruction of life and property4 
,but also in the case1 that the enemies 
of the old institutions would  succeed  
so far as to sweep away every vestige of
 them on the surface of  the ,globe1    
they would be as little able as the     
supporters of the old  systems to       
preserve ,peace2 because there is no    
pacification in the  spirit world1      
except by receiving and spreading the   
means shown us from  the spheres of     
spirits by whom we are commissioned to  
introduce the ,new  ,era of ,harmony and
 ,peace amongst mortals as well as      
amongst their  congenial departed4 ,but 
the more materialism subdues the ,globe1
 the more  the inner causes for new     
out-breaks of revolutions and wars are  
operating to find crevices for the      
outbreak1 so that there is absolutism   
and despotism as necessary for those who
 without the use of the old  forms      
promise to make people free1 as for     

those who promise the same in  the      
support of the new systems4 ,emperor    
,louis ,napoleon and ,emperor  ,francis 
,joseph are quite remarkable            
representatives of the two systems1     
while ,napoleon makes such a use of the 
old form as to satisfy many of  the open
 opposers to it1 and the ,emperor of    
,austria endeavours to  sustain with    
hundreds of thousands of soldiers the   
inheritance of the  old abominations    
which should have been abolished by the 
application of  our message without     
murder of any man and for the greatest  
benefit of  the departed and the mortals
 of the family of ,hapsburgh1 while the 
whole  empire and all nations would have
 been benefited4    ,from the scattered 
hints in this book you may collect1 that
 since  ,francis ,joseph's ,government  
,i was rather endeavouring to effect in 
one  or the other manner a movement in  
this country1 by which at length also   
the ,bishops and the ,government of     
,austria might be awakened from their   

fatal lethargy2 because ,i saw that my  
direct applications to the young        
,emperor would have been for no use4 ,i 
am in no direct correspondence  with my 
native country1 and ,i receive news     
either in newspapers or from  occasional
 reports1 and shortly before ,i wrote   
the weighty ,epistle to  ,anthony       
,slomshek ,i met with a countryman who  
was professor in ,vienna1  during the   
revolution of #ahdh1 and on account that
 he inspired students  for fighting1 he 
had to leave the country1 and he told me
 besides other  news1 that he heard that
 ,anthony ,slomshek was ,prince ,bishop 
in ,laibach4  ,several years before that
 ,i received the news that he was       
,prince ,bishop  at ,saint ,andrew in   
,lavant ,valley of ,carinthia1 only five
 miles from the  monastery of ,saint    
,paul1 where ,i became a monk of the    
,benedictine order4  ,i wrote to him1   
when ,i received that report2 but ,i    
received no answer4  ,at length the     
,epistle which appears in this treatise1

 has been sent to  him as to ,prince    
,bishop of ,laibach1 on the above       
mentioned authority4  ,the ,epistle     
would retain in this book the same value
 also in the case1  that the report     
should not be correct that he is ,bishop
 of ,laibach2  because the facts which  
,i relate in the ,epistle as facts known
 to him  are facts of my own experience 
and such as occurred in close connection
  with my experience1 and have been     
attested by many witnesses directly     
after they happened4    ,although ,i    
made few applications directly to       
,austria during the  ,government of     
,emperor ,francis ,joseph1 my fellow    
student ,frederick  ,baraga1 ,bishop at 
the ,falls of ,saint ,mary at ,lake     
,superior1 extending  his diocese widely
 amongst ,indians of ,north ,america1 a 
peculiar favorite  at the ,austrian     
,court1 after having neglected the      
former opportunities  to study our      
message of ,peace and to spread it in   
the ,austrian  ,government1 was brought 

on the great ,popish ,feast of ,christ's
 ,body  7,festum ,corporis ,christi7    
,may #bb1 #ahef1 to me in quite an      
unexpected  manner for both but in such 
a connexion with the present war in     
,europe1  that if this man1 at least at 
that time had fulfilled his highest     
duty1  instead of the tremendous war1   
,christ's ,peace would have already been
  established in ,europe4 ,therefore1   
not having room to write much1 ,i must  
mention at least somewhat about that our
 meeting showing the secret  causes of  
the present war and of all revolutions  
and wars since our  first proclamation  
of the great message entrusted to our   
care4    ,on that feast1 which was      
celebrated ,a4,d4 #ahef on the #bb;d day
 of ,may1 my  pamphlet3 ,redemption of  
oppressed ,humanity6 ,christ's          
manifestation for  the abolition of all 
kinds of ,popery6 issued from the press 
in the same  ,printing ,establishment of
 ,cincinnati1 into which ,bishop ,baraga
 came on  that feast to see the         

proof-sheet of the title page of his    
,latin ,book  for his missionaries4 ,our
 meeting on that feast in a ,protestant 
,printing  ,office was so unexpected1   
that we did not know each other1 when we
 met  at the compositors' room which he 
left while ,i was entering into it4 ,i  
was then instructed by the compositors1 
that that gentleman was the same        
,bishop ,baraga about whom ,i spoke in  
the pamphlet showing that while  bishops
 were consecrating him or made him a    
bishop1 they were crucifying  ,christ in
 his members2 to wit1 that bishop after 
having become so great  an apostle of   
the ,indians1 that he was very renowned 
in our native  country and at the       
,austrian ,government1 was made a medium
 by my  leaders1 that he opened the way 
for my voyage to ,america4 ,but after   
having discovered1 that our mission was 
not for1 but against the ,pope1  he     
instead of having studied my books and  
examined our message of ,peace  and the 
credentials of our mission1 became      

enraged4 ,i expected that at a  personal
 meeting with him ,i would make him     
comprehend our mission4 ,but  there was 
no opportunity until that feast on the  
#bb;d ,may1 #ahef1 which  was selected  
for the commencement of the spirit      
manifestations at my  personal meetings 
with that medium of spirits of delusion 
and  destruction4    ,after having      
written a considerable portion of the   
next following  treatise1 ,i am aware   
that ,i cannot encompass within so few  
pages as ,i am  desirous to do1 what is 
to be communicated there to nations1 and
 ,i take  from this treatise some sheets
 away1 in which ,i have given           
disclosures1  why we have mentioned in  
our ,epistle to ,bishop ,anthony        
,slomshek also the  ,bishops of ,triest 
and ,goricia1 whose predecessors should 
have at the  same time opened the way to
 the circulation of our message of      
,peace in  which time ,bishop ,anthony  
,aloysy ,wolf should have been their    
co-operator  for ,peace4 ,but ,matthew  

,raunicher1 who was at that time ,bishop
 of ,triest1  should have been the      
leader of this work2 because amongst    
those who  belonged to the ,austrian    
,government he was the first who        
received the  first two volumes of my   
works4 ,but he was formerly ,professor  
of  ,dogmatics and as such also my      
professor1 and was so fixed in the      
,dogmas  of his infallible ,church1 that
 he could not study my books1 to learn  
what all dogmatists of the so called    
christian denominations require1 to     
with signs according to prophecies by   
which an extraordinary  ambassador to   
the churches should prove his mission4  
,i hope1 that  ,raunicher's disciples1  
,bishop ,baraga and ,bishops and        
,priests in ,illyria  and elsewhere will
 learn at length that we have           
superabundance of signs  according to   
prophecies testifying our mission       
against the infallibility  of the       
,church1 and for the great truth1 that  
many of the ,dogmas of the  church are  

the most shocking absurdities1 of they  
are taken as they have  been delivered  
by the ,papal ,imperial ,royal          
,hierarchy1 but that we show  a deeper  
sense1 in which sound reason and science
 are reconciled with  religion4 ,but we 
close this treatise to get more room for
 the next  following treatise1 to assist
 the ,pope and his bishops to prepare   
for  their own and the ressurrection of 
their departed predecessors4            
,,fourth ,,treatise             ,pious  
,,ix ,bishop of ,rome1 ,louis ,napoleon 
,emperor of ,france1 ,francis           
,joseph ,emperor of ,austria1 the three 
extraordinary witnesses of our       on 
the title-page of this book expressed   
mission and powerful       preachers to 
all governments and in the first place  
to the       ,government of the ,united 
,states of ,north ,america1 that they   
should       submit to the ,government  
of our ,lord and his ,christ and become 
with       us messengers to introduce   
the promised universal ,republic of     

,truth       and ,justice1 ,harmony and 
,peace on the whole ,globe4      ,in the
 first three of my five ,german volumes 
the magnetic chain of  memorable events 
to bind the dragon4 ,revel xx3 #b1 is so
 developed1 that  the proper position of
 the existing governments of the so     
called  ,christians is made manifest4   
,they belong to the ,beast with seven   
heads  and to its ten horns either in   
the old or in a new fashion4 ,those     
three  volumes having been published    
from ,a4,d4 #ahch to #ahdj1 ,pope ,pius 
,,ix and  the two named ,emperors to    
whom the world's attention is now       
directed1  have not been mentioned in   
those volumes nor known to mortal men1  
that  they will occupy the position1 on 
which they appear according to          
prophecies1 nor they themselves nor     
other men know at this time that        
position1 if they have not studied the  
magnetic chain exhibited in those       
volumes to bind the dragon1 ,revel1     
xx43#b1 the large serpent1 the image  of

 the spirit of delusion and destruction 
by whom rulers and their  supporters    
have been inspired with such a madness  
as to apply their  studies how to kill  
men in the most cunning manner and to   
strip the  remnant of their property and
 keep them in bondage4 ,each of those   
volumes is of a considerable size2 the  
third is the largest containing  #hfd   
pages4 ,but the substance of their      
contents is concentrated in the  ,latin 
manuscript1 written at the commencement 
of #ahdi4    ,if ,theologians had       
studied my ,german volumes or attended  
the ,latin  ,convention to which they   
have been most earnestly invited1 they  
had  known without my explanation the   
position of these three great           
representatives1 or rather they had     
converted them long ago into the        
messengers of ,peace4 ,but after matters
 had arrived so far as they are  now    
manifest1 we must do what we can for the
 benefit of these three  witnesses and  
of those who are attached to one or the 

other as well as  for the benefit of all
 governments and their subjects2 because
 all are  preparing instruments for     
destruction of human life and property  
and  drilling men to destroy or wound   
their fellow men in the most artful and 
cunning manner1 and to reward with the  
highest premiums those who  perform best
 this most criminal work4    ,if you    
ask1 by whose authority they are doing  
this1 the answer is given3  and the     
,dragon gave him his power1 and his seat
 and great authority1  ,revel4 xiii3 #b4
 to wit1 to the representative of the   
,beast with seven  heads and ten horns4 
,under the ,christian mask he became    
such a terrible  monster1 that no other 
epithet was more suitable for him than  
that of a  ,therion1 of a ferocious     
beast having seven heads and ten horns4 
,having  been inspired and directed by  
the ,dragon and his host1 he could not  
teach his sons and daughters1 emperors  
and empresses1 kings and queens1  a     
better doctrine than that which was     

infixed in his heads by the ,dragon  and
 his host4 ,the seven heads are seven   
mountains1 on which the woman  sitteth2 
and they are seven kings2 five are      
fallen1 and one is1 and the  other is   
not yet come2 and when he comes1 he must
 continue a short  space1 ,revel4 xvii3 
#i and #aj4    ,it is to be understood1 
that in a brief treatise we can give    
only some  hints in regard to certain   
links of the long chain of events1 which
 is  exhibited in the first three from  
,a4,d4 #ahch to #ahdj published volumes4
  ,the three at the head of this        
treatise mentioned witnesses are so     
extraordinary links added to that chain1
 that while ,i was writing those  three 
volumes ,i thought that the chain was   
long and strong enought to  bind the    
,dragon and to establish ,peace on the  
whole ,globe4 ,but when  people would   
not spread that chain1 it was after that
 much protracted4  ,in the years #ahda  
and #ahdb the #dth and #eth ,german     
volumes and then a  number of ,english  

pamphlets were added2 but the last links
 of the chain  cannot be understood     
without some knowledge of the preceding 
links4    ,in every age men were        
awakened1 whose intellectual and moral  
improvement  was above the general      
course of the age1 and who were         
endeavoring to  warn and elevate the    
fallen generation4 ,they were preparing 
the way for  our advent1 and disclosing 
what belonged to their sphere1 that it  
might  receive more light in the        
dispensation of the fulness of times    
,ephes4  #a3 #aj1 to introduce which we 
are commissioned4 ,one of those         
forerunners1  was ,doctor ,bengel1      
disclosing what belonged to his mission 
in the first  half of the last century1 
so that in the same years of the #ahth  
century  remarkable disclosures have    
been made by his instrumentality1 in    
which  years in the #aith century       
,heavenly messengers have given great   
disclosures by my instrumentality       
regarding ,christ's peaceable reign on  

earth4 ,a4,d4 #agdj his ,german work    
,erklaerte ,offenbarung 7,revelation    
explained7 was published2 and exactly   
one hundred years after that1 on        
,easter ,saturday1 #ahdj1 my third      
,german volume1 by which the chain to   
bind the ,dragon was complete1 issued   
from the press4 ,to wit1 in the  first  
and second volumes the memorable events 
are reported1 which took  place at our  
experience for the abolition of ,popery1
 or what is the  same1 for the abolition
 of monarchy2 and in the third volume is
 shown1  that memorable events which are
 explained in my first two volumes1     
happened according to prophecies which  
are in the ,bible and also in  other    
works of ancient times and have been    
repeated through the course  of         
centuries of the ,christian ,era1 and   
that the memorable events which         
happened at our experience1 would not   
have scared priests and preachers1  but 
would have been expected by them1 if    
they had not been ignoramuses  of what  

our forerunners had disclosed before us1
 or stubborn  materialistic hypocrites1 
not beleaving what they preach and      
profess by  their performance4    ,the  
principal of those forerunners have been
 mentioned in that volume1  and how far 
each in his situation saw the objects1  
which have received  in our mission a   
light which could not be obtained in    
former ages4  ,doctor ,bengel occupies  
amongst those forerunners a peculiar    
place2  because he is the second angel  
or messenger1 spoken of in ,revel4 xiv3 
#h1  that is1 the representative of     
messengers by whom the contents of that 
verse are fulfilled1 because he was the 
first amongst those1 who have           
proclaimed prophetically ,christ's      
coming or ,christ's manifestation to    
effect the fall of ,babylon while they  
were showing the time in which it  had  
to take place1 and disclosing many other
 deep things which were not  known      
before1 and have warned people          
powerfully1 to prepare for ,christ's    

coming4 ,this was done by ,doctor       
,bengel and his disciples prophetically1
  ,i mean1 that they saw ,christ's      
coming only in the image of the         
,biblical  prophets1 and did not know   
the manner of his coming1 and pointed   
out the  year #ahcf1 as the tropical    
year for his coming4 ,but when that year
  expired1 those who had before great   
confidence in ,dr4 ,bengel's            
disclosures1 said1 that he was mistaken 
in the calculation of the times4  ,but  
we have shown according to our mission  
in the #crd4 of the mentioned  volumes1 
that ,doctor ,bengel was not mistaken in
 what belonged to the  sphere of his    
mission1 and his wonderful calculation  
was correct  regarding the time1 but    
that what he wrote regarding the manner 
of  ,christ's coming and other things   
were not correct1 which not he but the  
third angel1 ,revel4 xiv4 #h1 had to    
disclose2 because the year #ahcf was    
the tropical year1 at the expiration of 
which the #c;d angel had to  appear1 and

 then to perform his task and explain   
the prophetical images  and other things
 which have not been understood before  
that explanation2  because the ,lord    
came at that time as a thief1 ,revel4   
xvi3 #ae4 ,the thief  is not seen1 when 
he takes away what he finds suitable for
 his use4 ,and  the same have we done in
 our mission in which was gradually     
disclosed1  that ,christ comes by us1   
his messengers1 and discloses what is   
needed1  by the direction of his        
invisible agents who are operating      
through our  mediumship4    ,if you keep
 all that has been said in this book1   
you will comprehend  the hints which we 
have given as preparations at our       
approach to the  development of what we 
have promised in the inscription of this
  treatise4 ,others have tried to show  
from their position1 and ,doctor        
,bengel with application of historical  
and astronomical erudition  endeavoured 
to make it most evident1 that the ,beast
 with seven heads and  ten horns in the 

#acth chapter of the ,revelation1 is the
 papal monarchy4  ,at length came the   
#crd angel or messenger1 ,revel4 xiv3   
#i1 by whose  mediumship the whole chain
 was developed1 which testifies the     
same4 ,and  ,heavenly ,congress of the  
#add1jjj martyrs1 ,revel4 xiv3 #a1 who  
superintend1 that prophecy given under  
their direction1 is exactly  fulfilled1 
7as there is the case with the          
prophecies of the ,revelation17  have   
given also such testimonies of this     
truth1 that the most stubborn           
materialist if he studies to learn      
truth1 finds superabundance of most     
striking evidences1 that hosts of       
spirits were co-operating1 that         
prophecy was fulfilling1 till at length 
by unexpected events the ,divine  seal  
was attached to its fulfilment by our   
mediumship4 ,we will give  later in this
 treatise striking testimonies of this  
truth4 ,but here was  the preparation1  
that you may understand the following   
hints on the #ith  and #ajth verses of  

the #agth chapter of the ,revelation in 
connection with  the inscription of this
 treatise4    ,doctor ,bengel was the   
first who has discovered1 after an      
investigation  for many years in the    
,bullarium ,romanum1 in which the dates 
of the papal  letters which are known   
under the name of the ,papal ,bulls1    
bear besides  the time1 the place from  
which they issued1 that is1 the place of
 the  ,papal ,see or ,chair1 or of the  
papal government4 ,in the #agth chapter 
is  the same ,beast with the seven heads
 and ten horns which appears in the     
first verse of the #acth chapter1 only  
that in the #agth chapter it  appears in
 another state1 to wit1 the seer says in
 ,revelation1 xvii3 #c;d1  ,i saw a     
woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast1
 full of names of  blasphemy1 having    
seven heads and ten horns4 ,this woman  
is called in  the #eth verse3 ,babylon  
the great1 the mother of harlots and    
abominations4 ,the same woman is called 
in the #c;d verse of the second  chapter

 in the second epistle to the           
,thessalonians the apostasia or         
apostasy1 what your translators         
expressed with a falling away4 ,in  the 
preceding treatise we quoted a prophecy 
in the #cc;d song of ,purgatory  in     
,dante's ,divine comedy1 in which the   
five hundred ten and five  messenger of 
,god strangles the harlot and the giant 
who sins with the  harlot4 ,that harlot 
is the same old woman1 which is called  
in the #agth  chapter of the            
,revelation1 the mother of harlots and  
abominations1 and  the giant is the     
representative of the ,beast1 at this   
time ,pius ix1  carrying on his         
shoulders the whole burden of           
abominations and  blasphemies of the    
whole succession of the apostles whose  
master is the  apocalyptical dragon1 who
 has given him power1 seat and great    
authority1 ,revel4 xiii3 #b4 ,the word  
which is in your translation seat1  is  
in ,greek throne1 which you understand4 
,but by the worshipers of the  ,beast it

 is usually called the ,holy ,see1 and  
you know if you have  comprehended this 
book until this page1 that the ,pope had
 received his  holy see from his        
infernal holiness1 the dragon4 ,and we  
will  concentrate and kindle an         
admireable light upon this subject in   
this  treatise4    ,in the the #gth     
chapter of ,daniel is the #dth ,beast1  
having ten horns1 the  ,roman ,monarchy4
 ,this same monarchy became at length   
the papal monarchy1  when the ,bishop of
 ,rome became monarch of the church and 
extended his  monarchy or               
superintendency over the other monarchs 
and nations as far  as he could1 with   
the same view1 as the heathen ,roman    
,emperors had1 to  make ,rome the       
mistress of the globe2 only that the    
,roman bishop did this  under a         
christian title1 although his government
 was an antichristian  government under 
a christian pretext4 ,there was         
inspiration2 but the  inspiration was   
from the dragon and his host4 ,the      

foundation of that  ,empire is expressed
 in ,revel4 xiii3 #b4 ,any body who has 
a christian  spirit and compares that   
which happened in ,italy from ,easter   
,sunday of  this year until this day1   
,july1 #bast1 #ahei1 is convinced of    
this truth4  ,these are the fruits of   
the ,papal monarchy6 ,i have            
superabundance of  other business1 and  
am writing occasionally since the #dth  
of this month  the preceding and this   
treatise1 and the reader should keep    
continuously  in his mind1 that ,i give 
only some links in this time of great   
delusion  preparing great destruction   
also in this country1 that there not    
being  opportunity to study the whole   
chain of our disclosures people might   
receive as much as necessary to know the
 secret ememies of true  ,republicanism1
 and the inner life of man and the      
spirit world1 that  they might be saved1
 instead of being ruined and destroyed4 
,the seven  heads are seven mountains4  
,also seven kings1 five of whom are     

fallen1  and one is and the other is not
 yet come4 ,this is the state of things 
at the time1 in the #ith and #ajth      
verses of the #agth chapter of the      
,revelation4 ,rome is located on a      
number of hills1 the seven principal of 
which are called by the ancient writers 
the seven mountains4 ,doctor  ,bengel   
has shown from the ,ballarium ,romanum  
and other documents  regarding the      
,papal government1 that since the ,roman
 ,emperor ,constantine  ,i4 the ,pope   
had the seat of his administration until
 the time in which  ,doctor ,bengel     
wrote1 on five of the seven mountains1  
to wit1 #a4 on the  mountain ,coelius1  
#b4 mountain ,aventinus1 #c4 ,vaticanus1
 #d4 ,qurinalis1 #e4  ,esquilinus4      
,farther is to be remarked that although
 ,popes had some times  their seats in  
other places1 for instance in ,avignon  
of ,france1 others  in opposition to    
them had at the same time their seat in 
,rome1 or when  in some ,revolution they
 were driven from ,rome1 they returned  

as soon as  they could4 ,doctor ,bengel 
when he found1 that in his time the seat
 of  the ,papal government was the fifth
 of the seven mountains1 assured most   
solemnly1 that that government would not
 be translocated from that upon  another
 mountain until it crumbled to pieces1  
and he1 by his admirable  calculation1  
showed1 that it would take place before 
the expiration of  his century4 ,it took
 place ,a4,d4 #agih1 when ,pope ,pius   
,,vi4 was taken  captive and carried to 
,france1 and the ,french ,directory     
located the seat  of their government in
 ,rome1 not upon one of the five        
mountains which  were successively      
occupied as the seat of the ,papal      
government1 but upon  the mountain      
,capitolinus4 ,on that mountain was the 
temple which was  dedicated during the  
heathen ,rome to all heathen ,gods1 and 
during the  ,papal ,rome to all ,saints 
or all ,gods whom the ,pope professed to
 worship4  ,but then it was taken by the
 ,french ,directory for the seat of the 

government4    ,all these things were   
axactly performed1 by the influence of  
spirits of  different spheres4 ,every   
actor in the great drama was influenced 
by  spirits for whose inspiration he was
 best prepared4 ,but all that took      
place under the vigilance of the highest
 order of spirits for the               
accomplishment of prophecies4 ,in       
,revelation1 xvii3 #aj the seven        
mountains are called seven kings1 that  
is seven monarchial or dospotic  or     
antichristian governments1 governments  
which originated from the  inspiration  
of the dragon1 the spirit of delusion   
and destruction4 ,the  seven mountains  
are types of these seven governments4   
,but five are  fallen1 that is five     
kings or five monarchial governments are
 fallen at  the time which the          
,revelator saw1 that is1 at the time1   
when the woman  was sitting on the      
,beast having seven heads and ten horns4
 ,during those  five kings or during the
 ,papal governments on the live         

mountains that  woman1 which is the     
mother of harlots and abominations1 was 
prepared and  fostered by all the       
anti-christian deeds which have been    
perpetrated by  the authority of the    
,papal ,bulls which issued from the five
 mountains4  ,people who came out from  
the exterior fashion of ,popery1 did not
 return  to the christian truth and     
christian spirit1 but progressed into   
materialism and endeavoured to effect   
with weapons of war1 what can only  be  
effected according to the plan given in 
the following treatise4 ,the  ,french   
,revolution broke out ,a4,d4 #aghi1 and 
progressed in tremendous  destruction of
 life and property and in terrorism and 
distress of the  survivors1 that at     
length ,a4,d4 #agih ,pope ,pious ,,vi   
was carried captive to  ,france1 where  
he died2 the ,papal ,monarchy or the    
,beast having seven  heads1 disappeared1
 or the woman was sitting upon the      
,beast1 that is1  took possession of the
 monarchy4 ,that woman is called the    

harlot and the  mother of harlots1 and  
the apostasy1 or defection from truth   
and  righteousness4 ,people polluted    
with this defection appear under the    
image of a harlot4 ,and those who       
professed to act in the name of the     
,republic or the people1 after having   
removed the ,pope from his seat1        
located their government on the         
,mountain ,capitolinus1 in contempt of  
the  saints or gods of the ,pope1 and   
supported their government with a more  
terrible despotism1 than their          
predecessors1 the popes1 did4 ,this     
government of the ,french ,directory on 
the ,mountain ,capitolinus1 is in  this 
calculation the sixth government1 or the
 government introduced in  ,rome after  
the fall of the governments on the five 
of the seven  mountains4 ,when the      
government on those five mountains was  
translocated  from one mountain upon an 
other1 the government was not destroyed 
but  only changed1 as circumstances     
required4 ,but when the sixth           

government1  7called in ,revel4 xvii3   
#aj the one is that is1 the one which   
was in  existence after the fall of the 
preceding five71 was introduced1 the    
former governments of the ,papal        
monarchy were entirely abolished4 ,when 
this took place1 the other in ,revel1   
xvii3 #aj was not yet come1 and  the    
government of the ,french ,republic was 
in the greatest danger of  being        
overturned4 ,in those circumstances1 the
 other1 that is ,napoleon  came4 ,he    
returned from ,egypt and saved the      
republic2 but the republic  could not be
 sustained1 and ,napoleon advanced      
gradually so far that he  became at     
length ,emperor2 and of him is said3 he 
must continue a short  space4 ,revel4   
xvii3 #aj4 ,his government is in this   
calculation the  seventh government4 ,he
 thought1 that the secular monarchy of  
the ,pope  was injurious to his ,empire1
 and he required that the ,pope1 ,pious 
,,vii1  successor of ,pius ,,vi who died
 in ,france1 should give up his secular 

monarchy4 ,and when the ,pope refused to
 do so1 he was taken captive and        
brought at length to ,france4           
,napoleon is in our magnetic chain the  
same1 who according to the vulgar       
reading and translation is called the   
man of sin1 the son of  perdition4 #b;d 
,ep4 ,thessal4 ii3 #c4 ,we give only as 
many hints as are  sufficient1 to arouse
 governments and nations from their     
lethargy4  ,theologians not knowing how 
the ,bible originated1 nor how to make  
the  right use of it1 had made already  
of the first chapter of the ,bible the  
greatest abuse1 and came in collision   
with developments of astronomy and      
geology as well as with the true history
 of man1 being in that chapter  nothing 
else but the vision or the image of the 
creation of the mosaic  ,heaven and the 
mosaic ,earth1 or the mosaic            
ecclesiastical and political            
institutions1 which are abolished by    
virtue of our mission in which we  show 
the new ,heaven and the new ,earth4     

,interpreters and translators  commenced
 to dupe people with the first verse of 
the ,bible1 where the  ,hebrew word     
,elohim is in the plural number4 ,but   
they translated that  word1 ,god2       
although those who know somewhat about  
the true  spiritualism1 may easily      
comprehend1 that those ,elohim are the  
guardian  gods or the guardian angels1  
departed ancestors of the ,jewish       
,nation4 ,at  the administration of     
those guardians ,moses produced the     
ecclesiastical  and political           
institutions of that nation4 ,of those  
institutions1 and of  the books of that 
nation such a tremendous abuse was made1
 that from  that abuse at length the man
 of sin1 the son of perdition was       
produced4 ,but this vulgar reading is   
taken in the first place from a  wrong  
,greek reading4 ,the genuine reading    
gives in the first place the            
translation the man of lawlessness that 
is1 the man who came out from  a lawless
 state1 from a state in which the       

ecclesiastical and political  laws have 
been overthrown4 ,in the second place   
instead of the son of  perdition should 
be translated the son of destruction1   
that is1 the  man who came through that 
dreadful destruction of human life and  
property which is preserved in history1 
upon the ,imperial ,throne of  ,france1 
that all in him has been fulfilled1 what
 we read in the quoted  chapter1 and is 
explained in our magnetic chain in which
 we have given  also the genuine reading
 and the genuine translation1 where     
needed to  understand the prophecy1 as  
far as it has been fulfilled,x in       
,napoleon  ,i4 ,but the explanation     
cannot be here repeated2 but we had here
 to  mention as much as necessary1 that 
the supplement of its fulfilment  might 
be understood by ,napoleon ,,iii4 and   
that the two fighting emperors  and     
their tremendous armies in ,italy1 as   
well as all other monarchs1  might learn
 their true position and be converted   
from the ,dragon to  ,christ and become 

with us messengers of ,peace4 ,for this 
purpose we must  give the following     
hints3    ,and the ,beast that was and  
is not1 even he is the eighth1 and is of
 the  seven1 and goeth into perdition4  
,revel4 xvii3 #aa4 ,you must keep in    
mind1  that the ,revelator saw the state
 in which the harlot was sitting on the 
,beast1 that is1 occupying the place of 
the ,papal monarchy4 ,in that state  of 
things the ,beast or ,papal monarchy was
 not in existence4 ,but when the        
,revelator was contemplating that state 
with marvel1 the angel who has  shown   
him this state of things1 gives some    
prophecies of what would  follow after  
that state4    ,the ,beast that thou    
sawest1 was1 and is not2 and shall      
ascend out of  the bottomless pit1 and  
go into perdition ,revel4 xvii3 #h4 ,the
 ,papal  monarchy1 which disappeared for
 a certain time1 had to re-appear1 and  
that re-appearance is its ascension from
 the abyss1 from so deep a cave  that   
its bottom is not seen1 from the realm  

of darkness in reference to  ,revel4    
xiii3 #b1 when it came into existence   
first by the spirit of  delusion        
effecting great destruction1 at the     
incursion of barbarian,y  nations into  
the ,roman ,empire in the #dth1 #eth1   
and #fth centuries4 ,at  that time the  
,bishop of ,rome took advantage to      
commence to be  ,superintendent of the  
kingdoms which originated from the      
,roman ,empire1  and their number was   
successively ten1 which are called the  
ten horns of  the ,beast4 ,napoleon's   
,empire which continued a short space1  
having  been the seventh government1 the
 ,papal monarchy which ascended out of  
the abyss ,revel4 xvii3 #h1 was in this 
calculation the eighth king or          
government1 ,revel4 xvii3 #aa1 and came 
out of the seven preceding  governments1
 and commenced1 when ,a4,d4 #ahad ,pope 
,pius ,,vii took possession  of his     
territory after his triumphant return to
 ,rome4 ,then the ten horns  of the     
,beast1 who are ten kings ,revel4 xvii3 

#ab1 7to wit1 in reference  to the      
origin of the kingdoms out of the ,roman
 ,empire in connexion with  the origin  
of the papal monarchy17 the monarchs or 
their ,representatives  who after the   
overthrow of ,napoleon's ,empire        
assembled in the ,congress  of ,vienna1 
,these have one mind1 and shall give    
their power and strength  unto the      
,beast4 ,revel4 xvii3 #ac4 ,the         
translation being not exact1 we  give   
only the sense1 that they agreed1 that  
the representative of the  ,beast or the
 ,pope should be with them a partaker of
 his temporal power1  or of his         
monarchy1 which he has lost entirely    
during the sixth  government1 and died  
in captivity4 ,his successor ,pius      
,,vii1 who commenced  to restore it1 was
 then taken by ,napoleon2 but after     
,napoleon's fall the  old dynasties with
 the ,papal monarchy were restored4 ,and
 the people  continued in the great     
apostasy which is called the harlot1 and
 the  monarchs were fulfilling and      

continue to fulfil at this time in the  
most  tremendous manner the #afth verse 
of the #agth chapter of the ,revelation1
  making the harlot desolate and naked1 
eating her flesh and burning her  with  
fire4 ,in this tremendous condition they
 continued since they took  again       
possession of their governments4 ,their 
proceedings and the whole  management of
 their affairs appear anti-christian4   
,these governments  make war with the   
lamb4 ,revel4 xvii3 #ad4 ,this they do  
continously1  till at length we read    
reports of such destructions as are now 
in ,italy4  ,but to those who are with  
the lamb1 called and chosen and         
faithful1 the  victory against the      
antichristian governments is promised in
 the same  verse4 ,without having room  
for farther hints in this confinement to
 a  small book1 that it might be studied
 by many who could not be moved or      
would not have time to study a large    
work or would not have the means to  buy
 it1 we must give here some hints1 how  

our victory against those who  are in   
war with the lamb1 has been secured by  
the most solemn promises  and fulfilment
 of the most sublime prophecies4        
,readers should keep in  mind all hints 
given on the preceding pages1 and should
 know1 that ,i was  called to ,america  
by a ,heavenly messenger4 ,then followed
 continuous  signs1 by which all things 
were prepared the right moment1 that ,i 
was  directed to ,boston1 ,mass41 and   
arrived in that city on my birth day1   
,november1 #bi1 #ahcg1 when ,i was      
exactly #db years old4 ,i had no        
knowledge1  that my invisible guardians 
had prepared all that was required1 that
 in  that city great works have been    
performed by my instrumentality4 ,on    
memorable events which happened in the  
,roman ,catholic ,church of that  city  
from ,december1 #ahcg1 until the #c;d   
,sunday after ,easter1 #ahch1 by my     
mediumship and assistance of #add       
witnesses many hundred pages have been  
written in my often mentioned five      

,german volumes4    ,readers of this    
book are accustomed to hear unexpected  
events1 and we  mention without         
explanations the following as           
preparatory to the light  which we shall
 give in this treatise upon the present 
meeting of ,emperor  ,napoleon and his  
army with ,emperor ,francis ,joseph and 
his army in ,italy1  and upon the       
present ,pope in their vicinity4        
,while ,i was preparing to start from   
,boston to other places1 ,i was         
instructed by unexpected wonders and    
signs that ,i must remain in ,boston    
and take care of the ,german ,catholic  
congregation1 and the priest who  had   
charge of it1 was by invisible agents   
compelled to leave directly  ,boston4   
,for the use of our ,german             
,congregation the ,roman ,catholic      
,cathedral ,church was granted at the   
time1 during which it was not  occupied 
by the ,irish and ,american             
,congregation4 ,we had our service on   
,sundays from #h to #aj o'clock ,a4,m4  

in that ,church1 and ,i explained       
prophecies in reference to our time and 
the necessity of true  ,reformation for 
those who would be partakers of the     
great promises for  the fulfilment of   
which the time was approaching4 ,this ,i
 knew as well as  also1 that ,i came to 
,america to work in this country for    
their  fulfilment according to the      
direction of my leaders4 ,but ,i did not
 know1  what1 according to their plan   
was to be done4    ,on the #fth day of  
,january1 #ahch1 which was ,saturday and
 the feast of  ,epiphany or ,christ's   
manifestation1 a great prophetical feast
 for our  mission1 ,i received the order
 from my guardian1 the martyr in ,revel4
  xiv3 #ad1 who was crucified and burned
 by the ,pope1 and found by the         
,heavenly ,congress1 ,revel4 xiv3 #a1 as
 best qualified to be my principal      
director in what ,i had to perform in   
the cathedral ,church in ,boston4 ,the  
name of that martyr and why he was found
 to be my leader in that work1  is in   

other of my writings4 ,by him ,i was    
instructed to prepare the  congregation 
on that feast1 that those who would be  
willing to  co-operate with us for the  
great ,reformation which was required   
for the  fulfilment of prophecies1      
should be ready to come on the next     
following  day after our ,sunday service
 in my school room and sign their names 
and  what they would be willing to do   
for defraying expenses in our           
enterprises4 ,on sunday the #gth of     
,january1 #ahch1 ,i delivered again a   
sermon suitable to inspire the          
congregation for the great enterprise1  
and asked that those who were ready for 
co-operation1 should come  directly     
after the service in our school room4   
,that was a step against  all           
precedence4 ,the catalogue of those who 
belonged to the congregation1  was given
 to me before1 and trustees took great  
care to collect large  subscriptions for
 us4 ,but all this should be rejected1  
and only those  who would be ready to   

work with me for the great reformation  
without  regard to the bishop1 should   
come and sign their names and           
contributions1 to be regarded as my     
fellow labourers in the great           
reformation4 ,although ,i have explained
 to them in my sermons as many  signs as
 they could bear1 that ,i came against  
all my expectations to  ,america to     
prepare people for the reformation      
necessary for the  fulfilment of the    
greatest promises1 ,i1 according to     
human insight into  matters1 did not    
expect that any would dare to sign his  
name4 ,but ,i did1  as ,i was ordered by
 my leader4    ,after our service on    
,sunday1 ,january #g1 #ahei1 there came 
so many that  our school room was       
crowded4 ,trustees and others came with 
them to warn  the others1 not to do any 
step for such an enterprise1 without    
asking  first the bishop1 what should be
 done in this case4 ,others remarked1   
that ,i knew well what ,i was doing4    
,and ,i repeated what ,i have explained 

at our meetings in the church1 that ,i  
was doing nothing except what was       
showed to me by the spirit1 who had     
given also in their presence  sufficient
 testimonies1 that he was a spirit of   
truth and righteousness4  ,then all were
 so inspired1 that those who resisted   
most signed first  their names4 ,having 
been agreed that they must sign their   
names before  me and witnesses in my    
catalogue the business required time1   
and those  who came from a distance1    
remained to sign their names amongst the
  first1 and the others went home1 and  
returned afternoon4 ,on the next        
following ,sunday we assembled again1   
that the names of the signers were  read
 solemnly and distinctly in the presence
 of the whole congregation  for other   
purposes1 which to mention here is no   
room1 as well as for the  purpose which 
must be mentioned1 that the congregation
 were expressly  admonished1 that at the
 reading of the names of the signers    
they should  pay pecular attention1 that

 if any mistake should be found1 it     
might be  corrected1 and that all might 
be witnesses of what every one had      
signed  to contribute for our           
enterprise4 ,every one1 called by the   
name1  answered4 ,most of them1 if not  
all1 were present4 ,and if any one1 for 
,i  do not recollect any case1 was      
absent1 certainly those who knew him and
  were present when he came to sign his 
name1 testified1 that they saw  him1    
when he signed his name and             
contribution1 and that his name was     
correctly written into my catalogue4 ,in
 this manner that which was  signed     
,january #gth #ahch1 before witnesses   
was on the #adth of the same  month     
testified by the whole congregation4    
,signs and wonders became more manifest4
 ,i was commanded by my leader to  write
 an ,encyclic ,latin ,epistle1 directed 
to the ,bishops of the ,austrian        
,empire1 showing the necessity of true  
,reformation that nations might  become 
partakers of the promises4 ,i have shown

 in that ,epistle of seven  closely     
written sheets1 what was first and most 
necessary2 and ,i  mentioned a number of
 signs which have been given in the     
,austrian ,empire  before ,i started    
thence to ,america1 and a number of     
signs in ,boston  after my arrival      
there1 by which our mission was         
testified4 ,after having  finished      
writing that ,epistle1 ,i was directed  
by the same spirit1 to  write to        
,benedict ,fenwick ,roman ,catholic     
,bishop of ,boston1 a short  letter1 as 
addition to the ,encyclic ,epistle to   
the ,bishops of ,austria1  showing to   
the bishops1 that whereas some signs    
have been mentioned1  which took place  
in the ,austrian ,empire in the presence
 of witnesses who  have been named in   
the ,epistle1 and other signs happened  
in ,boston1 and  of those signs he was a
 witness1 he was in duty bound to sign  
first the  circular ,epistle and to     
promise his co-operation with us for the
 great  ,reformation of the ,church1    

which is necessary to stop judgments and
 to  make nations partakers of the      
greatest promises4 ,i added1 that if he 
would refuse to sign1 ,i could not go   
any more into his ,church4 ,the  bishop 
was a cunning ,jesuite4 ,he understood  
that by signing that ,epistle  he could 
not satisfy his ,pope1 and he wrote to  
me a very enticing  letter1 to stop me  
in my ,reformation4 ,but ,i assembled   
directly those of  the congregation1 who
 could be assembled that evening1       
,friday1 ,february  #afth #ahch1 and    
explained what had happened1 showing to 
them their duty1  to make known to the  
congregation to assemble on next ,sunday
 in a  ,protestant ,school-house in     
which ,i would explain1 why ,i could not
 go any  more into the ,church of the   
,bishop4 ,i convinced them after        
sufficient  explanation of the matter1  
that they were satisfied1 that ,i had to
 obey  rather the direction of the      
spirit1 than the wishes of the bishop4  
,on ,saturday1 ,feb4 #ag1 #ahch1 ,i was 

again awakened at #c o'clock ,a4,m4 as  
at  my former commission1 and commanded 
by my leader1 to write again to the     
bishop and explain my message given to  
the congregation to assemble on  the    
next day in a ,protestant ,school house 
unless the bishop would  acknowledge his
 fault and do what was required4 ,i     
assured him most  solemnly1 that all    
those steps were done under strict      
direction of the  spirit who had        
confirmed my mission2 therefore nisi    
haec feceris1 tecum  in sacris          
communicare non possum4 ,it is to be    
understood1 that ,i wrote  to him in    
,latin1 and said3 ,if thou1 ,bishop1    
wilt not do this1 that is1  if thou wilt
 not sign the ,epistle and co-operate   
with us1 ,i can have no  ecclesiastical 
communion with thee4 ,the ,epistle was  
then carried and  handed to him at #h   
o'clock ,a4,m4 of that day4    ,soon    
after that a deputation of our          
congregation came to me4 ,they  reported
 that our message according to our      

agreement1 was spread in the            
congregation1 but there was a means1 to 
satisfy the spirit2 because the         
,catholic ,cathedral ,church does not   
belong to the bishop1 but to the        
nations4 ,the deputation assured me that
 ,roman ,catholics and ,protestants  of 
different nations have contributed      
freely to build that church1 and ,i     
could explain freely in the church what 
,i had to communicate to the            
congregation2 since neither the bishop  
nor any of his priests understood       
,german4 ,it was evident1 that one of   
the three was under the influence of  a 
prudent spirit4 ,but ,i replied1 that in
 steps of such consequence ,i  must act 
strictly according to the order of the  
spirit4 ,they should  therefore go to   
the bishop4 ,perhaps they might move him
 to sign the  ,epistle4 ,they went2 but 
they returned with the message1 that    
they found  the bishop not well1        
entreating me very much that although he
 could not  sign my encyclic ,epistle1  

,i should go in the church1 and         
difficulties  would be then amicably    
settled4 ,from that circumstance ,i     
understood1  that the bishop did not    
comprehend what it was1 to receive a    
commission  by ,heavenly messengers1    
which was sufficiently attested as sent 
from  ,heaven4 ,therefore ,i said to the
 committee1 that after the bishop had   
remained in such a darkness1 ,i must    
strictly act according to the  direction
 of the spirit who has sent me4 ,then   
the man who was under  influence was    
stronger moved to urge me to go in the  
church1 without  regard to the bishop1  
and explain what ,i wished to           
communicate to the  congregation4 ,when 
the other two belonging to the committee
 thought that  ,i could not be moved1   
they left my room4 ,then the third was  
stronger  moved by his leader than      
before1 to urge me to go in the church4 
,then my  leader brought to me the      
distinct message that ,i should go into 
the  church and perform independently   

from all bishops1 what would be shown   
to me to be performed4 ,at that         
unexpected message ,i said to the man1  
that ,i have received the communication 
which ,i needed to tell to the          
congregation1 that they should assemble 
on the next day in the church4    ,from 
the message ,i understood1 that after   
having excommunicated the  bishop from  
my ecclesiastical communion1 and in my  
last letter more  distinctly than in my 
first1 ,i had to omit in my performances
 in the  church all that shows any      
communication with the bishop or with   
the  ,pope1 whose representative the    
bishop was4 ,but ,i knew long before    
that1  that the ,roman ,catholic ,church
 was a prophetical church1 and ,i had to
  perform the prophetical ceremonies    
which were in use at those days on      
which ,i had to go in the church4 ,the  
prophetical spirit has so provided  for 
what ,i had to perform from that moment 
in the church1 that at every            
performance also the passages which were

 taken from the ,bible into the  ,roman 
,catholic mass-book and ritual1         
corresponded exactly with what ,i  was  
doing4    ,on the #ahth ,february1      
#ahch1 which was ,sunday ,sexagesima1 ,i
 came the  first time independently from
 all bishops1 into the ,roman ,catholic 
,cathedral ,church of ,boston1 ,mass4 to
 do what would be shown to me by        
inspiration4 ,the church has prepared   
for that ,sunday from the #aath and     
#abth chapters of the #b;d ,epistle to  
,corinthians the sufferings of the      
,apostle ,paul and his report1 that he  
was caught up to the third ,heaven4     
,when ,i was reading at the ,altar that 
section1 and came to the quoted         
passage1 ,i was caught up to ,heaven4   
,paul the ,prophet1 as he appears in    
our mission1 did not know1 whether it   
was in or out of his body4 ,but ,i  know
 ,i was entranced1 while my body was    
immoveable at the ,altar1 and  ,heavenly
 power was communicated to me1 and ,i   
was ordered to explain to  the audience 

the testimonies of my mission1          
commencing with the  initiation which ,i
 have received twelve years before that4
 ,to wit1 ,a4,d4  #ahbe after my having 
been six years secular ,priest1         
testimonies were  given1 that ,i was    
called to join with ,priests of the     
,benedictine ,order4  ,i felt that there
 were sufficient testimonies of my call 
from ,heaven4  ,but after my having     
moved into the monastery1 matters       
appeared so  contrary to my expectation1
 that ,i thought1 that my surest way    
would be  to write to the next bishop   
and to continue to labor as secular     
,priest4  ,in that my determination to  
write on the next following day to the  
,bishop of ,lavant1 ,i went to rest4    
,but ,i came from my sleep into a trance
  of unspeakable ,heavenly light1 during
 which ,i was surrounded by a  company  
of spirits and magnetized or initiated  
by them for the great  labor which ,i   
had to perform1 and the temptations     
against which ,i had to  act4 ,at that  

initiation ,i did not see my mother1 but
 ,i heard so  distinctly her voice and  
with so powerful impression that it     
could not  be effaced from my mind1 when
 she said that ,i should remain in the  
monastery4 ,amongst all communications  
which ,i received in ,europe from       
,heavenly guides1 this was the only one1
 which ,i have received from my  mother2
 and nobody else could impress a        
stronger conviction than she  did1 in   
the most momentous instance in which ,i 
needed a ,heavenly  comfort4 ,and that  
initiation by ,heavenly messengers      
strengthened me1  till ,i received on   
,sunday ,sexagesima1 ,february #ah1     
#ahch1 the great  initiation at the     
,altar of the ,cathedral ,church of     
,boston for my public  appearance in my 
present charge and was commanded by the 
martyr ,revel4  xiv3 #ad to commence my 
address with the initiation which ,i had
 received  twelve years before that4    
,the ,roman ,catholic ,church has       
prepared for  that ,sunday ,luke viii   

#d-ae1 and ,i explained according to the
 #ajth verse  the mystery of our        
mission4 ,i had to mention some points  
at my public  initiation to my present  
mission in which ,i had to perform in   
the first  place in the ,roman ,catholic
 ,church what was required according to 
prophecies to give the ,pope and his    
bishops the most solemn divine          
testimony1 that their prophetical       
administration is accomplished1 and     
that their highest duty is to become    
with us messengers of the  dispensation 
of the fulness of times ,ephes4 #a3aj1  
in which all in ,heaven  and on ,earth  
should be united and pacified in        
,christ4 ,for this purpose  the church  
or the people must be cleansed4 ,to show
 them the necessity of  the cleansing of
 the sanctuary1 after that my public    
appearance in the  glorious mission1    
demons were compelled to bring to       
daylight the secret  abominations1 of   
which we have in the brief hints of this
 treatise to  mention one instance1     

which is in peculiar connexion with the 
three on  the title-page named witnesses
 and with other regents4 ,one man was   
found  in our congregation1 who was not 
in the catalogue of the #add1 who have  
signed their names into our catalogue on
 the #gth ,january1 #ahch2 but he  was  
in the catalogue of those who have been 
given to me before that  signing as     
belonging to the congregation1 and that 
man appeared in that  catalogue as being
 married1 and when after our public     
appearance in the  present mission the  
abominations commenced to be detected1  
that man was  found1 that he was not    
married with the woman with whom he     
lived as  being married4 ,i sent to him 
word1 that if he wished to know his     
duty1  he should come to me4 ,but he    
would not come4 ,this happened in the   
week  after my public appearance in my  
present charge4 ,i asked1 whether the   
case was known in the congregation1 and 
,i was told1 that it was known4  ,on the
 next following ,sunday1 which was      

,quinquagesima or the next ,sunday      
before ,lent1 ,i received the order from
 my leader to excommunicate that  man   
publicly4 ,i delivered a sermon         
appropriate to the case1 mentioned  that
 such a man was in the congregation1    
without naming him1 and made  the       
declaration that such a man does not    
belong to the church of ,christ  or to  
our congregation till he is converted   
from his illegal connection4    ,after  
that many other performances of our     
mission took place1 which  cannot be    
mentioned here1 except the following3   
,according to the agreement the signers 
of their names and contributions  for   
our support and to defray the necessary 
expenses1 had to bring a  portion of    
their contribution before ,palm ,sunday 
#ahch which is the  ,sunday before      
,easter1 and if somebody should be      
hindered in doing what  he agreed to do1
 he should come and mention his reason1 
or if he could  not come himself1 he    
should send word by some other4 ,in the 

case1 that  he would neglect to do the  
one or the other1 we would send1 to     
inquire  for the reason of his having   
neglected his duty4 ,this was to be     
mentioned for the right comprehension of
 the unexpected events which we  must in
 this connexion of things report as     
briefly as possible4    ,in the night   
from ,palm ,sunday to ,monday ,i was at 
one o'clock by a shock  suddenly        
awakened and ,i heard the voice3 ,arise 
and take from the  catalogue those who  
had neither brought their contributions1
 nor the  excuse why they could not do  
so1 and excommunicate them on the next  
,sunday solemnly from ,christ's ,church4
 ,i arose directly1 made light1  took   
them from my catalogue and put them on  
another paper4 ,then ,i became  suddenly
 very drowsy and returned to bed4 ,when 
,i arose at the usual  time1 ,i         
reflected upon the unexpected           
communication1 and ,i thought1 that  my 
duty was to inquire for the men1 and    
that only under the condition  that they

 would obstinately resist to submit to  
the rules of our order1  they would     
deserve a public declaration1 that they 
do not belong to  ,christ's ,church4    
,also it appeared quite strange1 that   
,easter ,sunday was  appointed for that 
excommunication4 ,i thought1 that if ,i 
would send for  and converse with them1 
,i would perhaps find out the reason of 
such an  unexpected order4 ,besides all 
other things ,i had also the most       
convenient lodging for my performances  
in the new mission4 ,but here we  select
 only those points which are preparatory
 to the development of  deep secrets by 
which the three extraordinary men       
mentioned on the  title-page become     
extraordinary witnesses of our mission4 
,the merchant  with whom ,i boarded knew
 most persons of our congregation4      
,therefore ,i  took the paper on which  
,i put the names according to the       
,heavenly  commission1 and asked him    
whether he knew any of those persons who
 were  on the paper4 ,after his negative

 answer ,i called our messenger to give 
him the paper with the order to inquire 
at those who were acquainted  with most 
people of our congregation1 to find out 
those persons and  invite them to come  
to me about important matters1 without  
telling the  case which ,i myself did   
not understand4 ,but at the moment1 when
 ,i would  give him the paper1 ,i was   
severly shaken and heard the voice1 not 
to  inquire for any body but to perform 
that which ,i had been commanded to  do4
 ,the order having been given by the    
leader from whom other most  important  
orders came1 ,i was satisfied1 that with
 the order were deeper  things connected
 than ,i could expect4 ,i asked the     
messenger whether he  heard any voice4  
,he replied1 in the negative4 ,i        
understood that ,i was  taken by him    
into the inner state1 when he shook me  
and said to me not  to inquire for      
anybody1 but to perform the order4      
,from ,monday to ,tuesday in the week   
before ,easter ,i was again shaken and  

awakened by my leader at #a o'clock     
,a4,m4 and heard his voice3 ,arise and  
write for the book the order given on   
the preceding night to be executed  on  
next ,sunday4 ,to understand this order 
,i must remark1 that soon after  my     
declaration made to ,bishop ,fenwick of 
,boston1 that if he refuses to  sign the
 ,epistle ,i can have no ecclesiastical 
communion with him1 which  declaration  
was a polite manner in which ,i         
excommunicated the bishop1 ,i  commenced
 to write a book1 showing that my       
extraordinary steps were made  under    
higher direction testifying my          
extraordinary mission2 because as  soon 
as ,i was ordered to separate from the  
bishop1 and to perform  independently   
from all bishops in the ,roman ,catholic
 ,cathedral ,church1  what would be     
shown me by the spirit1 ,i understood my
 extraordinary  mission2 although ,i did
 not know1 what the ,heavenly ,congress 
intended to  perform by my mediumship4  
,and when ,i was commanded by the spirit

 at #a  o'clock from ,monday to ,tuesday
 before ,easter #ahch1 to arise and to  
write  for the book1 which is now called
 the first of my five ,german volumes1  
,i  felt more than before the importance
 of the obligations of the #add         
witnesses who have signed their names in
 my catalogue2 and from this  view ,i   
wrote that night what ,i inserted in the
 most suitable place of  the manuscript1
 that it was then published for a       
testimony to all  nations1 that ,i did  
know nothing in regard to the deepest   
mystery which  was intended by the      
,heavenly ,congress with that           
excommunication4    ,one point more as  
preparation for the great celebration of
 the ,easter  ,sunday1 ,april #ae1      
#ahch4 ,on ,wednesday before ,easter the
 man who was  excommunicated on ,sunday 
,quinquagesima from our congregation1   
came to  me after having separated from 
the woman with whom he was not married4 
,i  understood that he was under        
influence of an invisible power brought 

to  me1 and that ,i had to take him into
 our communion and make it publicly     
known on ,easter ,sunday in the same    
general terms without mentioning his    
name1 in which he was separated4 ,and ,i
 said to him1 that ,i will mention  this
 in our next meeting on ,easter ,sunday4
    ,when all was prepared on that great
 ,easter ,sunday1 in the midst of our   
usual prophetical performances at the   
,mass ,i ascended the pulpit and        
delivered under inspiration a sermon    
preparatory to the excommunication1     
instructed the audience then regarding  
the excommunicated by a distinct        
report1 how ,i was three times ordered  
to perform that excommunication1  that  
therefore those who are comprehended    
under the names of the  excommunication1
 are as certainly excommunicated from   
,christ's ,church1  as ,i am confirmed  
as his messenger for establishing his   
reign of ,truth  and ,justice1 ,harmony 
and ,peace on the whole ,globe by all   
the signs and  wonders many of which    

they had already heard in my addresses1 
others  they will read in the book4 ,the
 congregation knew1 that ,i was printing
 a  book in ,cambridge near ,boston1    
showing that what ,i was doing ,i was   
doing  under the direction of ,heavenly 
messengers for the fulfilment of the    
greatest promises4 ,amongst all the     
signs and wonders many of which you     
have also read in this book1 one of the 
most remarkable signs was1 that  after  
my having excommunicated ,benedict      
,fenwick1 ,bishop of ,boston1 in  both  
letters1 that of the #afth as well as   
that of the #agth ,february  #ahch1     
although more expressedly in the last   
than in the first1 neither  the ,bishop 
nor any other ,priest did interfere with
 my using the ,roman  ,catholic         
,cathedral ,church of ,boston1 but ,i   
performed without the least  disturbance
 all that has been shown to me by the   
holy martyr ,revel4  xiv3#ad and his    
company4 ,i assured the congregation at 
the same time that  the excommunication 

will not injure those who are           
comprehended in the  names of the       
excommunicated1 except if they remain   
obstinate after the  excommunication is 
made known4    ,after the necessary     
solemn preparation1 the excommunication 
was  performed in the most vigorous     
manner1 and the names of the            
excommunicated were read so loud and    
distinctly1 that they could be  heard in
 every corner of the church1 for the    
peculiar purpose that no  name might be 
confounded with another name4    ,after 
that act ,i continued the ,mass and     
distributed the ,eucharist to a  large  
number of the congregation whom ,i      
prepared on the previous days by        
hearing their confessions2 because1 as  
,i have mentioned before1 in my         
extraordinary mission in the ,roman     
,catholic ,cathedral ,church all that   
which was practised was to be repeated  
for a testimony that it was             
accomplished4 ,without there being room 
here to write about the  confession we  

mark only in general1 that it had also  
its time in the old  ,heaven1 but we    
have better means of education in the   
new ,heaven4 ,but it  is to be remarked 
that also the man who had been          
excommunicated on  ,sunday              
,quinquagesima1 came to me to the       
confession before ,easter and was       
received into our congregation1 and this
 was then on ,easter ,sunday  directly  
after my solemn sermon before ,i        
commenced to prepare the  audience for  
hearing the excommunication of those who
 were to be  excommunicated1 distinctly 
announced to the congregation1 and that 
same  man received then with the others 
the ,eucharist from my hand4 ,then he1  
after our service1 accompanied me       
closely1 without saying a word1 to my   
lodging1 and said when ,i was entering  
the house1 that he wished to talk  with 
me privately4 ,when we were alone1 he   
entreated me pitifully to  receive him  
in ,christ's ,church or in our          
congregation4 ,i was surprised1  and    

asked him1 whether he forgot1 that ,i   
received him first privately1  and      
whether he did not hear that ,i made    
that known to the congregation  on that 
same day1 and that he took also the     
,eucharist from my hand as  the         
confirmation of being in our            
congregation4 ,he replied that all this 
was true1 but that he heard distinctly  
his name1 when ,i read those who  were  
excommunicated1 and that the ,spirit    
said to him1 that he should go  directly
 to me and tell me this4    ,i saw that 
he was acting under the influence of a  
spirit1 and to get  some more           
information1 asked him1 how he could    
hear his name1 when ,i  pronounced loud 
and distinctly those who were on my     
paper for the  excommunication1 when ,i 
read them from the paper as being       
excommunicated1 and that ,i could not be
 such a fool as to put the same  name   
amongst the excommunicated1 whom ,i took
 before privately into our  ,communion1 
and announced this also publicly1       

immediately before the  performance of  
the excommunication4 ,he replied1 that  
he did not only  hear distinctly his    
name1 but saw it also on the paper from 
which ,i read  those who were           
excommunicated1 and if ,i would show him
 the paper1 on  which those are who were
 excommunicated1 he would show me his   
name4  ,neither he nor any other man    
could read the names from that paper1   
which  ,i had in the ,new ,testament    
book1 in my pocket1 and from which ,i   
read to  the audience1 what was to be   
read from that book on ,easter ,sunday2 
but  my pulpit was so arranged1 that    
nobody besides me could see what ,i     
read4  ,when he demanded to see that    
paper1 to show me his name1 ,i took the 
paper from that book1 to satisfy him1   
that he was mistaken4 ,as soon as ,i    
had shown him the paper1 he fixed his   
finger to a name and exclaimed3  ,this  
is my name6 this is my name6 ,the more  
,i assured him1 that he was  mistaken   
and that he should look better the      

letters of the name1 to see  that it was
 not his but quite another name1 the    
more he affirmed1 that  it was his name2
 and the more he looked at the name1 the
 more he  asserted1 that it was his     
name4 ,then ,i named each letter of that
 name1  asking him1 whether he saw that 
it was the named letter1 and when he    
answered in the affirmative to all      
letters1 ,i urged him to spell the      
whole name4 ,and he spelt the whole     
name1 and it was ,kaiser4 ,this  ,german
 name means in ,english ,emperor4    ,as
 soon as the man1 or rather the departed
 spirit who urged him1 that he          
performed all this1 spelt the name      
,kaiser1 that is1 ,emperor1 the spirit  
seemed to be quite satisfied4 ,after a  
short pause he again operated upon  the 
man powerfully1 saying1 that he had     
brought his name on the #gth ,jan4  into
 my catalogue4 ,i understood always1    
that he meant that man whose  name was  
,kaiser1 and ,i said1 that his name is  
not in the catalogue4 ,but  when he     

continued to assert1 that it is in the  
catalogue1 and ,i repeated  that ,i     
perused oftentimes that catalogue and   
was quite certain1 that  his name is not
 in the catalogue1 and we both remained1
 each on his  point of certainty1 ,i    
said at length1 that ,i would convince  
him1 that ,i  was correct1 if he would  
tell me1 who was the next before him1   
who put  his name in the catalogue4 ,and
 when he named him and also others      
before  and after him1 ,i opened the    
catalogue1 and saw1 that on the #ajjth  
place1  which was according to that     
direction his place1 was the name       
,kaiser1  that means ,emperor1 instead  
of the name ,geyer that means hawk or   
vulture4 ,geyer was the name of the man 
who had brought on the #gth  ,january1  
#ahch1 instead of his own1 the name     
,kaiser4 ,but by all our  precautions1  
that there might not be a mistake in any
 name and by all  our uses of that      
catalogue until that moment no body     
discovered this6    ,that my business   

with that man required more time than   
could be spared1  because others were   
waiting till ,i dispatched him1 and then
 all that  ,easter ,sunday there was    
other work so that ,i had no time to    
reflect upon  that case1 nor1 if there  
had been time1 had ,i dared to think1   
what might  have been1 behind the vail1 
without having received peculiar        
revelation4  ,having been occupied on   
that ,easter ,sunday with other business
 as well  as with hearing confessions of
 those who came from far1 ,i was then   
tired  and went to rest4 ,during my rest
 ,i was awakened by an ,angel of the    
,lord1  and heard the voice1 that ,i    
should arise and write a communication4 
,i  arose1 kindled a light and saw by   
the watch1 that it was one o'clock      
after midnight1 and felt that there was 
a company of ,spirits present1  while ,i
 received from one the communication    
which was to be delivered on  that day  
to the congregation4 ,that was the      
second day of ,easter1 a  festival in   

the ,roman ,catholic ,church1 and we had
 our service4 ,that  communication not  
belonging into this epitome1 was        
mentioned1 because it  was a preparation
 to what follows4    ,after having      
finished writing that communication     
between #a and #b  o'clock1 ,a4,m4 on   
,easter ,monday1 ,april #af1 #ahch1 ,i  
felt much stronger  than at the receipt 
of the first communication that ,i was  
surrounded by  a company of ,spirits1   
amongst whom1 at that moment1 my mother 
approached next to me1 and with an      
unexpected power of her voice which     
made such an impression upon my spirit  
and my whole system as may be  easier   
felt than expressed with words1         
delivered the message that1 ,i  received
 in our ecclesiastical communion the man
 who directed my  attention to the      
,emperor who was excommunicated1 and    
that that ,emperor  was excommunicated  
who pretends to be ,apostolic ,majesty1 
and that ,i must  write down this and   
publish in the book which was at that   

time in  composition4    ,i mentioned   
above1 that ,i received by my departed  
mother one  communication twelve years  
before that2 and this was the second and
 also  until this hour the last         
communication which ,i have received by 
the  instrumentality of my mother4      
,never in my life1 at all my experience 
from the ,spirit world1 ,i was so       
affected as at that communication4 ,it  
was delivered after having written the  
first communication1 and thought  to    
extinguish the light and return to bed4 
,at that moment ,i felt that1 ,i  was   
surrounded by a company of ,heavenly    
,messengers amongst whom one was        
approaching nearest1 and the powerful   
communication came4 ,after that  there  
was no inclination to return to bed1 nor
 is there room here to  repeat1 what has
 been explained in the first and second 
of my five often  mentioned ,german     
volumes1 for the correct understanding  
of said  communication1 and the         
prophecies which have been fulfilled in 

said  excommunication and explained in  
my third volume4 ,from those            
explanations it is evident1 that the    
,emperor of ,austria who has besides    
other anti-,christian titles also the   
title ,apostolic ,majesty1 is           
representing in that excommunication the
 whole body of ,monarchs and  ,tyrants1 
who keep people in the anti-,christian  
servitude1 from which  they are to be   
redeemed at the present manifestation of
 ,christ by his  ,messengers4    ,since 
the female sex has been much more       
injured and abused by monarchs  and     
other tyrants than the masculine sex1   
,beatrice ,dante's departed wife  was   
found as most suitable ,heavenly        
messenger by whom the great prophecy  in
 the #cc;d and last ,song of ,purgatory 
was communicated to the ,poet and  most 
remarkable ,prophet ,dante1 and my      
mother was found most suitable to       
deliver the above mentioned             
communication and to make greater       
impression than any other ,heavenly     

messenger upon me1 when the first       
message was to be delivered to          
understand that great prophecy and      
thousands of other prophecies which have
 been locked until that time4 ,at  that 
moment a key was given to commence to   
unlock them4    ,we give only some hints
 regarding the points which are the     
substance of  the contents of the five  
,germam volumes published from #ahch to 
#ahdb2 and  many volumes would be       
required1 if we would explain the       
memorable events  which happened        
afterwards for new illustrations and    
confirmations of the  preceding events4 
,there is a concatenation of the most   
solemn warnings  to all the upholders   
and supporters of the old ruined        
,babylon1 that they  should come out not
 to be partakers of her plagues4        
,besides the  mentioned mystery on the  
#ajjth place of our catalogue there is  
another  mystery on the #ijth place4    
,besides those two1 four or five others 
as you  may read the whole report in    

those volumes1 have neglected to fulfil 
their highest duty1 and were            
excommunicated on ,easter ,sunday1      
#ahch4 ,but  those four or five came    
after that excommunication to me and    
were  received in our communion2 but the
 #ijth and the #ajjth have been brought 
by their mediums for the fulfilment of  
prophecies and for the most  solemn     
divine assurance to political and       
ecclesiastical rulers1 that  they are in
 such a tremendous condition1 in which  
they would not remain  a moment1 but    
would become directly with us messengers
 of ,peace1 if they  would comprehend   
but a little of what we know regarding  
their condition4    ,after having       
received such an astonishing unexpected 
light regarding the  #ajjth of the #add 
witnesses of our catalogue1 that only   
those can duly  appreciate it who have  
studied my volumes1 others who have     
neglected  their duty and came in the   
number of the excommunicated only for an
  illustration of those on the #ijth and

 #ajjth places1 as we have explained  in
 those volumes1 came then without having
 been called1 to me1 and were  received 
in our communion4 ,but the #ijth did not
 come1 and his place and  his names had 
a peculiar reference to all that which  
has been performed  in the ,cathedral   
,church of ,boston by our               
instrumentality2 but ,i had  received no
 communication in regard to him4        
,therefore ,i thought proper  to send   
,messengers to inquire1 whether anybody 
knew a man having the  name ,leo ,hefner
 and having been in ,boston at the time 
in which the #add  witnesses signed     
their names in my catalogue4 ,but after 
the most careful  inquiry nobody brought
 any account of ,leo ,hefner4 ,after    
that ,i received  the communication1    
that that name which is on the #ijth    
place of our  catalogue1 is a mystery   
which must be explained by me4    ,then 
,i commenced to explain1 that most      
suitable names have been selected  by   
,divine wisdom for the excommunication1 

of the ,beast which has the  mouth of a 
,leo1 that means in ,english a ,lion1   
,revelation1 xiii3 #b1 and  the ,beast  
is the ,papal ,monarchy1 for the        
foundation of which although  several   
predecessors of ,pope ,leo ,i4 were     
preparing the way1 that ,leo or  ,lion  
contributed most by his energy and      
principles which are expressed  in his  
writings1 to that monarchy1 which       
afterwards ,pope ,gregory ,,vii4        
endeavoured to establish with great     
power1 and his successors triumphed  at 
length against their adversaries1 and   
the mouth of these lions under  the     
,christian mask swallowed as much of    
human life and property as it  could    
reach1 and the whole succession or      
family of the ,popes produced a         
,hefner4 ,in the explanation of the     
expressive names which have been        
prepared by the ,heavenly ,congress1 we 
take the most suitable  significations  
which appear obviously in the names4 ,we
 took the name  ,hefner as a composition

 of ,german ,hef or ,hefe1 which means  
dregs or  sediment1 and the ,hebrew     
,ner1 which means ,lamp1 so that ,hefner
 means  dregs of the ,lamp in our       
interpretation4 ,the ,pope used the     
,hebrew ,lamp  and besides others       
especially ,german scholars gave him the
 greatest  assistance1 that by his      
anti-christian management the ,lamp of  
,truth and  ,righteousness could not    
burn1 because there was oil consumed and
 dregs  of the most dreadful materialism
 were destroying and ruining mankind4   
,it is to be understood1 that we give   
only some hints of what we  explained in
 the first volume as far as our leaders 
found proper to do1  showing gradually  
the great apostasy from the christian   
truth and  immersion into materialism   
and ceremonialism1 produced by the      
anti-christian management,z of the      
,hefner or ,dregs of the ,lamp4 ,in  the
 second volume we cotinued the          
explanation1 that is1 ,i under the      
direction of invisible agents1 was      

writing for the second volume4 ,when ,i 
thought that regarding the ,beast with  
ten ,horns was sufficient  explanation  
given for that volume1 ,i heard on the  
#bjth ,november1 #ahch at  noon time a  
,heavenly voice3 ,count the number of   
the name of the ,beast4  ,revelation1   
xiii3 #ag and #ah4 ,i replied ,lord6 ,i 
counted it long time  ago4 ,then the    
,heavenly voice was repeated4 ,i asked1 
,is'nt ,lateinos  the right name8 ,i    
received the answer3 ,no4 ,then ,i      
understood1 that  neither that name     
which was delivered by the old ,church  
,father ,irenaeus  and written with     
,greek letters gives the number #fff and
 points to the  affairs of the ,latin   
,man1 nor any other name found for an   
illustration  of the prophecy and       
containing #fff1 expresses what is      
prophesied about  the beast2 but that   
,hefner1 contains the whole mystery2    
because each  pope as pope has the mouth
 of a leo or lion1 and the whole family 
or  succession of the popes have        

produced the ,hefner1 or dregs in the   
lamp1  which cannot burn1 because oil is
 consumed with the mouth of the ,leo4   
,after my having explained for the      
second volume1 that all circumstances   
testified that by ,leo ,hefner the      
,papal ,monarchy was excommunicated     
from ,christ's ,church1 and that in this
 name the whole history of ,popery  is  
comprehended1 showing what every pope as
 pope is1 and what the whole  succession
 of the popes had poduced1 the heavenly 
voice ,count the  number of the name of 
the beast1 has given the most striking  
divine  confirmation or divine seal to  
our interpretation of the mystery4 ,i   
wrote the family name1 after having     
received the heavenly order1 with       
,greek letters1 and to my astonishment  
they gave exactly the number #fff1      
,revel4 xiii3 #ah4 ,greek scholars      
should keep in mind1 that the ,german ,h
  is expressed by the ,greek mark which 
is called by grammarians spiritus       
asper1 and that in both syllables of    

,hefner e is long1 and with this  remark
 they will find by writing ,hefner with 
,greek letters1 in the name  exactly the
 number #fff4    ,after having received 
the ,heavenly order1 that ,i counted the
 number of  the beast1 while ,i was     
writing the manuscript and preparing the
 print of  the second volume in         
,philadelphia1 ,i received soon a letter
 from ,boston  containing the           
information1 that ,matthew ,arnold who  
is on the #hfth place  of the #add      
witnesses and in the deputation who     
after my having  excommunicated ,bishop 
,benedict ,fenwick from my              
ecclesiastical communion1  came to move 
me to occupy the church for my          
performances1 was inspired  and remained
 when the other left my room when ,i    
received the  communication to occupy   
the church for our work1 that same man  
learned  who the man was who brought the
 name ,leo ,hefner into my catalogue4   
,since  there were usually besides the  
witnesses also a number of others in the

  school room1 in which names were      
signed in my catalogue1 it seemed to be 
an easy task to discover the man1 who   
had brought the name1 by asking  those  
who signed their names next the #ijth4  
,but there are thousands of  discoveries
 quite easy1 but they could not be made1
 till the time for  their use arrived4  
,besides me1 all the #add were also     
under so strict a  control of invisible 
agents1 that all happened in due time4  
,after all  other things regarding the  
mystery have been disclosed and also the
  number of the beast has been counted1 
,i received the information1 that  the  
man who has brought the name1 was a     
single man1 quite suitable that  he     
became a medium of ,pope ,leo xii4 ,the 
first name of that medium was  not ,leo1
 but he was known under the ,french name
 ,louis1 although his  ,german name was 
,ludwig2 and his family name was        
,hefner4 ,but ,leo ,hefner  was not his 
name4 ,he was brought as a medium of the
 departed ,pope ,leo  ,,xii4 and he gave

 the name which we needed4 ,his family  
name corresponded  with the whole       
mystery of the fruits of the family or  
succession of the  ,popes1 but he was   
only a medium1 and instead of his proper
 name a name  was to be given which     
suited the mystery1 and the ,pope       
amongst the  departed who represented   
the succession of the ,popes1 had to    
give his  own name4 ,here is no room to 
repeat the explanation from my often    
mentioned volumes1 how tangibly it was  
shown by signs1 that ,pope ,leo  ,,xii4 
was the leader who had brought that     
medium for the most astonishing         
excommunication of popery4 ,the name    
,leo has given also the stopping  place1
 from which we count in different       
directions the epochs of the  duration  
of the ,papal monarchy4 ,we have done so
 in the third ,german  volume and in the
 work which exists in ,latin1 ,german   
and ,english for our  monthly           
theological course and for the ,latin   
convention1 if the ,emperors  of ,france

 and ,austria comprehend us and call    
their bishops together1 to  learn the   
great things which are disclosed for the
 pacification of the  world4 ,bible     
,students may explain many things by the
 hints1 given in  this book1 for        
instance1 how the three verses of the   
#ahth chapter of the  ,revelation have  
been fulfilled on ,easter ,sunday1      
,april1 #ae1 #ahch1 by the              
excommunication of the ,beast and its   
image or its ten ,horns from  ,christ's 
,church4 ,we could name here the        
powerful ,angel1 ,revelation1  xviii3   
#a4 ,but here is no room to explain1 why
 that martyr was found most  qualified  
for that office1 that he delivered to me
 three times the  command to perform    
that excommunication,,aa1 in which the  
proclamation  is included3 ,babylon the 
great is fallen1 is fallen1 and is      
become the  habitation of demons1 and   
the hold of every foul beast1 and a cage
 of  every unclean and hateful bird4    
,revelation1 xviii3 #b4 ,interpreters   

did  not know1 how to read the text1    
because some manuscripts have the word  
beast and others have instead of that   
word spirit4 ,but the powerful  ,angel  
who had the superintendency in these    
affairs1 has shown1 that you  have to   
read the word ,beast1 because he has    
given to ,pope ,leo ,,xii4 the  order to
 inspire his medium1 to give for our use
 the name ,leo1 or ,lion  who is the    
king amongst the ,beasts1 for our use in
 the excommunication  of the ,papal     
monarchy from ,christ's ,church1 and the
 medium1 although of  ,german parents1  
was secreted under the ,french name     
,louis1 in reference  to the ,french    
,kings1 who were for a great support1   
and at length for a  great fall of      
popery4    ,but with the ,imperial      
,family of ,austria is an other phase4  
,petra dedit  ,petro et ,petrus ,diadema
 ,rudolpho4 ,this was the motto when the
 infernal  holiness inspired the ,pope1 
to send the crown to the ,count of      
,hapsburgh1  to have that count when he 

becomes ,emperor of ,germany1 his       
obedient  servant4 ,at length1 after the
 support of all kinds of ,papal         
,imperial  ,royal abominations the      
departed ,emperor ,francis was allowed  
to take the  most suitable medium in    
possession4 ,the proper name of the     
medium  should have been ,eagle         
according to the delight of ,emperors in
 that  ,fowl4 ,but our superintendent in
 those affairs took rather the ,hawk or 
,vulture as a more suitable rapacious   
fowl1 who put the name ,emperor  instead
 of his name into our catalogue4 ,that  
the departed ,emperor  ,francis of      
,austria became the leader of that his  
medium1 will be shown  below for a      
peculiar instruction of ,emperor        
,francis ,joseph1 that he  might become 
with us messenger of the ,new ,era4 ,but
 before this we must  give here a very  
brief lesson to ,pope ,pius ,,ix1       
although this whole book  and especialy 
this treatise contain extraordinary     
lessons for him1 and  we could write a  

large volume of correspondences of      
wonders and signs in  ,pope ,pious ,,ix 
actions with our apostolic actions4     
,bishops would have converted long time 
ago ,pope ,pius ,,ix into a powerful    
preacher of the ,new ,era if they       
themselves had studied our message of   
,peace1 or rather the ,papal monarchy   
would have been extinguished long  time 
before the appearance of ,pope ,pius    
,,ix4 ,gregory ,,xvi was the last  ,pope
 in the ordinary course of affairs4     
,while ,i was reading his book3  ,il    
trionfo della ,santa ,sede e della      
,chiesa 7the triumph of the ,holy  ,see 
and of the ,church17 my ,lord has opened
 my eyes1 that he was near to  overthrow
 the ,see of his infernal holiness1     
supported by such an  abominable        
delusion as is contained in that        
pestilential book and other  similar    
impositions4 ,but ,i did not know at    
that time1 by what kind of  means it    
would be effected1 till ,a4,d4 #ahch the
 wonderful works were  executed in the  

,cathedral ,church of ,boston1 so that  
,i expected1 that  bishops would1 after 
the publication of my explanation of    
those events1  comprehend them and      
instruct their ,pope in what was his    
highest duty4  ,but they proved to be   
miserable servants of this their        
grandmaster of  abominations4    ,popes 
with their whole ,hierarchy are         
continuously repeating prophecies  and  
at the same time refusing to do what is 
their highest duty for the  fulfilment  
of prophecies4 ,i could not have        
expected1 that ,pope ,gregory  ,,xvi1   
that machine of darkness1 would have    
paid attention1 if ,i had  applied      
directly to him4 ,but if bishops had    
studied our writings and  comprehended  
our mission and its credentials1 they   
might have drawn also  their master     
,gregory ,,xvi1 to look into our        
matters4 ,but he vegatated  and died in 
the fulness of his prophetical position1
 whereas he was not  ready to enter into
 the ,dispensation of the fulness of    

times1 ,ephes4 #a3  #aj1 which is to be 
introduced by messengers whom ,i        
represent1 ,i  mentioned that the whole 
,papal ,church is prophetical4 ,in her  
is  concentrated the prophecy of        
,judaism and ,heathenism4 ,popes who had
 a  peculiar charge1 had also names and 
numbers correspondent to their  charge4 
,when in ,pope ,leo ,,xii the apostolic 
number was complete he  prophesied1 as  
readers must recollect1 according to his
 ,leonine wisdom  about a ,church       
,doctor or ,apostle of the higher       
mission1 and after his  departure he had
 to inspire and bring the man into our  
school-room1 to  sign the most          
suitable-mysteries on the #ijth place of
 our catalogue for  the excommunication 
of ,popery from ,christ's ,church4 ,and 
,pope ,gregory ,,xvi  had to write the  
above quoted book1 while he was yet a   
monk4 ,but by that  book the way was    
opened for him to the ,papal ,chair4 ,he
 prophesied on the  title-page of that  
book in the first place the triumph of  

the ,holy ,see  or the ,papal           
,government4 ,and it triumphed so1 when 
he became ,pope that  with his successor
 the whole miserable machinery is       
breaking and  breaking1 till at length  
the ,church1 that is1 the people will   
triumph by  receiving our message of    
,peace1 by which all kinds of ,popery   
will be  abolished from the ,globe4 ,he 
on the ,papal ,chair concentrated in his
 name  and number of the name the whole 
mystery of his position4 ,he was        
,gregory1 that means a watchman1 as     
prophets are called1 and he stands as   
prophet1 in the full number ,,xvi1 which
 is as remarkable in the  developments  
of ,popery as the number #fff1 so that  
the disciples of the  ,revelator were   
debating1 whether the spirit had given  
to their master  the number #fff1 or the
 number #af in ,revel4 xiii3 #ah1 till  
the spirit had  shown by our            
instrumentality1 that the number #fff is
 the principal  number in counting the  
name and the periods of the duration of 

the  government of that ,beast1 but the 
number #af comprehends many of its deep 
mysteries4 ,the #dth ,beast in the #gth 
chapter of ,daniel was formed  gradually
 into the shape of the ,papal monarchy1 
and #d times #d is the  complete number 
in which the last ordinary ,pope        
appeared in his glory2  he is the       
infallible monarch of the church1 as he 
himself has proved  while he was yet a  
monk1 in the above quoted book1 that the
 ,pope is the  infallible monarch of the
 church4 ,by the means of that book my  
,lord of  truth and righteousness has   
opened my eyes1 that ,i commenced to    
comprehend the infernal imposition of   
the dragon and his host1 by which       
nations were so duped that they believed
 the ,papal infallibility1  holiness and
 all other abominations and blasphemies 
of the living ,god  and his ,christ1 and
 that ,i have performed and explained   
what is required  for the abolition of  
all kinds of ,popery4 ,the number of the
 ,biblical  writing mediums or prophets1

 whose books are collected in one       
section of  the books of the ,old       
,testament1 is sixteen4 ,they were as   
little  understood as to who they were  
and where they were1 as the ,popes4 ,the
  number of the ,popes each of whom     
appears under the name ,gregory or      
watchman1 is also sixteen1 or two times 
eight4 ,the last of them or the         
sixteenth ,gregory was the ,pope under  
whose administration the mysteries  were
 performed by our instrumentality for   
the abolition of all kinds of  popery4  
,but he continued to rule in all his    
glory and to keep disturbers  of his    
infallible monarchy in prison4 ,he was  
the most glorious during  the time1 in  
which the ,beast or the ,papal monarchy 
is in the number  eight1 ,revelation1   
xvii3 #aa4    ,the often mentioned      
catalogue of the #add witnesses which   
appears in the  ,english translation of 
my #dth ,german volume1 entitled ,the   
one thing  needful1 from the #ecc;d till
 #echth page1 is a concentration of     

wonders  and signs1 which were effected 
under the control of the #add1jjj       
martyrs1  ,revelation xiv3 #a4 ,in      
reference to this mystery as well as in 
reference  to the #add cubits of the    
wall of the ,new ,jerusalem1            
,revelation1 xxi3 #ag1  their number is 
exactly #add4 ,they were the stones used
 while we were  performing in the ,roman
 ,catholic ,cathedral ,church what was  
required  according to prophecies for   
the removal of ,babylon and bilding of  
the  ,new ,jerusalem4 ,behold ,i come as
 a thief4 ,revelation xvi3 #ae4 ,he came
  so secretly1 that neither on the #gth 
,jan41 #ahch1 while those #add          
witnesses were signing their names into 
my catalogue nor afterwards1  while they
 were performing each his task1 we      
understood much of what was  behind the 
vail1 till after the great              
excommunication on ,easter ,sunday1     
#ahch1 the great mystery commenced      
gradually to be developed1 and ,i       
received on the third ,sunday after     

,easter1 #ahch1 directly before the     
service1 from my guardian the direction 
to deliver the valedictory  sermon in   
order that all which1 was to be executed
 in that church  according to           
prophecies1 had been accomplished4 ,the 
church had prepared  for our use on that
 ,sunday the #afth chapter of ,john4    
,and ,i selected the  text3 ,a little   
while1 and ye shall not see me3 and     
again a little while  and ye shall see  
me1 because ,i go to the ,father4 ,john1
 xvi3 #af4    ,if you have comprehended 
this book to this page1 you know1 that  
,i am  ,jesus ,christ's first-born son  
in the ,dispensation of the ,fullness of
  ,times4 ,ephes4 #a3 #aj4 ,but also    
after having been publicly initiated to 
this ministry on ,sunday ,sexagesima1   
,february #ahth1 #ahch1 at the altar of 
the ,cathedral ,church of ,boston1 ,i   
progressed slowly in the development  of
 the mystery4    ,all disclosures which 
,i give are preparatory for an easier   
understanding  of the great testimony of

 the three witnesses named at the       
caption of  this treatise4 ,i am partly 
going around and applying to all kinds  
of  mediums in the cities of ,new ,york 
and ,brooklyn1 and in all directions is 
somewhat prepared for an illustration of
 the testimony of the three             
extraordinary witnesses4 ,on ,sunday1   
#bdth inst41 when the message of the    
,treaty of ,peace between the ,emperors 
of ,austria and ,france arrived in      
,america but was not communicated to us 
on that day1 ,i wrote some of the  last 
disclosures before this paragraph4      
,after that ,i wrote two letters4  ,but 
before having finished the second1 ,i   
was inspired to go and ,i  thought that 
,i was going to a ,conference meeting of
 ,spiritualists2 but  on my way ,i met  
with one who is holding his own meetings
 publicly to  draw the incautious into  
private ,free ,love ,meetings1 and ,i   
went with  him to his public meeting4   
,when ,i returned to my room ,i was     
tired1 went  to bed1 and then ,i arose  

yesterday1 ,july #beth1 and finished at 
fish-oil  light the second letter of    
,july #bdth1 #ahei4 ,then ,i wrote three
 other  letters before breakfast1 at    
which ,i heard the first report of the  
,peace ,treaty4 ,after that ,i was      
occupied all day in the cities of ,new  
,york and ,brooklyn4 ,i thought proper1 
to write this episode this morning1     
,july #bfth1 before my starting to other
 business2 because it is in such  a     
connexion with the ,peace ,treaty1 that 
it will be in the proper place  more    
particularly explained for a great      
illustration of the three               
extra-ordinary witnesses4    ,christ's  
first-born ,son in the ,dispensation of 
,universal ,harmony and  ,peace on the  
whole globe is the third angel preaching
 powerfully in the  #ith1 #ajth and     
#aath verses of the #adth chapter of the
 ,revelation4 ,there  have been a number
 of prophecies which have been referred 
to ,christ who  has been crucified by   
the ,jews more than eighteen hundred    

years ago1 but  which cannot be         
understood except in regard to his      
first-born son and  the whole ,body of  
,messengers whom he represents4 ,since  
our public  appearance some mediums have
 preached that now ,christ's first-born 
son  appears1 and were quoting a number 
of ,biblical passages testifying this4  
,if there would be room1 ,i would write 
some pages regarding my meetings  in    
,cincinnati of ,ohio with the principal 
of those mediums4 ,he after  having been
 an elder in the ,mormon ,church1       
separated from them and was  preaching  
the ,judgment ,dispensation1 and that   
,christ's first-born ,son  ,was coming  
now4 ,although my meetings with that    
prophet would be for a  peculiar        
illustration of the testimony of the    
three extraordinary  witnesses1 ,i can  
mention here only the substance1 that he
 was often  times possesed by some of   
the generals of ,napoleon ,i4 to give   
from his  position peculiar testimonies 
to our mission4 ,once1 for instance1 was

 he  so strongly inspired by his leader1
 that he wrote a decree by the          
authority of that his god1 in which he  
appointed me to be ,pope ,andrew  ,i4   
,it was ,a4,d4 #ahdf4 ,he gave a copy of
 that decree to an editor of a          
newspaper in ,cincinnati1--to the same  
who publishes now in ,washington  ,city 
the ,national ,era1 which will be used  
before the close of this  treatise in a 
peculiar connexion with the three       
witnesses1 and he handed  to me a copy  
of the same decree4 ,at the perusal of  
that decree ,i saw  that a dragon was   
the god by whom he was inspired1 and ,i 
wrote directy a  protest1 to accept any 
office from his ,god who was a spirit of
 delusion  and destruction1 ,i handed my
 protest to the same editor with the    
remark  that if he publishes the        
appointment for me to be ,pope ,andrew  
,i1 he must  publish also my protest4   
,he made known this to that medium who  
under  those circumstances withdrew the 
decree4 ,he was a rich general1 and     

there is no doubt1 that as ,pope in a   
new shape ,i had found soon support  of 
other rich1 persons to carry out the    
plan of the dragon for  destruction4    
,while ,i was writing the #dth of the   
five often mentioned ,german volumes ,i 
had to quote oftentimes the catalogue of
 the #add witnesses1 and was            
continuously aware1 that not only the   
#ijth1 and the #ajjth1 who have  brought
 as ,mediums not their own names but the
 names which were suitable  to the      
office of those1 by whom they were      
inspired1 obtained the places  which    
according to our language by numbers    
were most suitable to the  mystery which
 they contain1 but that also those who  
have brought their  own names1 brought  
them as mediums of invisible agents by  
whom they were  controlled in such a    
manner1 that those who had peculiar     
charges1  obtained also the places with 
numbers corresponding to their charges4 
,after having observed many times this  
phenomenon ,i saw at length the         

necessity of publishing that catalogue  
with the names in the same order1  in   
which they had been brought into the    
catalogue4 ,but at that time ,i  was not
 aware1 that the catalogue contains     
exactly #add witnesses1 the  complete   
mystical number of their represensation2
 because on the #echth  page of the ,one
 ,thing needful that catalogue ends with
 #adc ,anthony  ,larger1 and in my first
 three volumes as well as in ,the ,one  
thing  ,needful or in the #dth volume   
these witnesses are named the #adc      
witnesses4 ,on the #echth page the      
paragraph after the close of that       
catalogue commences3 ,this is the       
foundation catalogue of the new reign   
of ,christ on earth1 and in the same    
paragraph these witnesses are  called   
the #adc witnesses2 because they occupy 
#adc places1 and ,i was not  aware that 
there were #add witnesses in that       
catalogue1 till at length ,i  heard the 
voice3 ,count exactly the number of the 
witnesses4 ,i looked  then at every     

place1 and found that on each place of  
the catalogue is  only one witness1     
except the #hast place in which are two 
sisters  together1 and therefore the    
number of witnesses in that catalogue is
 #add  in reference to the #add1 #jjj   
members of the ,heavenly ,congress      
,revelation  xiv3 #a1 by whose wisdom   
names for that catalogue were           
wonderfully  provided1 and in reference 
to the #add cubits of the measure of the
  walls of the ,new ,jerusalem1         
,revelation xxi3 #ag1 the chief corner  
stone  of which being ,jesus ,christ1   
and the members of his peaceable kingdom
  are named lively stones4 #a ,peter ii3
 #e4 ,and1 those #add were given to me  
as assistants to show what is to be done
 for the establishment of  ,christ's    
peaceable reign on earth1 to wit1 all   
the ecclesiastical and  political powers
 must co-operate with us to draw all    
nations into the  new era4 ,here we give
 only some hints1 how wonderfully they  
are exhorted  and urged by all other    

events1 as well as by the formation of  
that  catalogue in which is the         
concentration of wonders and signs4     
,we quote the following places from the 
catalogue as peculiar instances  in     
reference to the three extra-ordinary   
witnesses3 #hj1 ,bischofberger  with    
two1 #ha sisters4 ,this man came under  
the strong control of his  guardian1 and
 when the quoted words were signed1 and 
on the place #ha  sisters appeared1 we  
required the names of his sisters4 ,but 
he said1  the names will be made known  
to me another time4 ,each signer had to 
give  his name1 but ,bischofberger after
 having put the name sisters on the     
#hast place of the catalogue1 refused to
 give their names1 and assured me  that 
they will be made known in due time1 and
 ,i received orders from my  leader to  
let it remain as it was written4 ,when  
the unexpected wonders  which are       
concealed in that catalogue1 commenced  
to be disclosed1 it was  manifest1 that 
on the #hjth place was put the          

representative of the ,beast  which     
itself is the eighth king1 ,revelation  
xvii3 #aa and has ten horns4  ,to show1 
that it was in the complete age or in   
the fulness of its glory  in our age1 it
 was put on the ten times the eighth    
place with suitable  names4 ,to wit1    
,alexis means one who hinders4 ,he      
hinders the redemption  of mankind from 
oppression and the development of truth 
and justice1  which is required for this
 redemption4 ,and the family name shows 
who  this man is1 to wit1               
,bischofberger4 ,the first part of this 
compound  name is the same word1 as the 
,english word ,bishop1 and the ,german  
,berge are ,mountains1 so that this     
,bishop is ,bishop of the ,mountains1   
or on the ,mountains1 having his seat on
 the mountains1 in reference to  the    
seven mountains1 on which ,rome is      
located4 ,in this his glory he has  two 
sisters1 which represent the two powers 
of the ,pope1 to wit1 the               
ecclesiastical and political power4 ,he 

himself in his glory and both his       
powers have been typified on the #hjth  
and #hast places of our catalogue       
showing to the ,pope his highest duty1  
to become with us messenger of          
,christ's peaceable reign4    ,on the   
six places which precede immediately the
 #hjth place1 those are  represented who
 have raised the ,pope so high as he    
stands4 ,we remark1  that the ,german   
name ,ochs is pronounced as the ,english
 name ,ox and means  the same beast4    
,those representatives are in our       
catalogue in the  following order3 #gd  
,joseph ,ochs1 #ge ,conrad ,ochs4 #gf   
,aloysius ,ochs4 #gg  ,john ,ochs4 #gh  
,iidorus ,ochs4 #gi ,joseph ,januarius  
,ochs4 ,the number six is  the          
fundamental number of the number of the 
name of the ,beast #fff1  ,revelation   
xiii3 #ah1 and to one or the other of   
the six classes of men  who appear here 
as oxen1 all orders of monks may be     
reduced4 ,the name  which stands before 
the name ,ochs1 defines nearer the      

position of the  representative ,ochs4  
,monks of all ,papal orders appear in   
reference to  the ,pope as ,oxen1 tame  
useful animals1 working for the support 
of  ,popery1 without knowledge of their 
own and the true condition of the       
,pope4 ,but ,revelation xiii3 #aa we    
read3 ,i beheld another beast coming up 
out of the earth1 and he had two horns  
like a lamb1 and he spake as a  dragon4 
,here are the orders of monks under the 
image of a ,therion1 a  ferocious beast1
 which appears as a lamb to those whom  
it entraps for  the ,pope1 but it is    
ferocious1 although it hides its        
ferocity1 as a  dragon1 till its        
delusion is made manifest1 when it      
destroys the enemies  of the ,pope4 ,it 
is caught in all six shapes into our    
catalogue1 the  explanation of the      
mysteries of which in our volumes shows 
to all monks  and priests the urgent    
necessity to become with us messengers  
of the new  era ,and the explanation    
from the #aath verse to the end of the  

#acth  chapter of the ,revelation and of
 other mysteries is in our volumes      
showing the dreadful condition of monks 
and priests in their present  course4   
,we have given some hints without       
explanations which are in my printed    
volumes and in the manuscript1 which    
,n4,b4 ,on this great prophetical       
,feast1 ,august #ae1 #ahei1 of ,mary's  
,assumption into ,heaven and of         
,napoleon  ,i's ,birthday1 ,i mention   
that ,i was since the twenty-first day  
of ,june  last1 on which day agreement  
was made with the printer and the       
manuscript of the ,first ,treatise was  
given him for printing this book1       
confined to ,new ,york1 wishing to have 
it printed as soon as possible4  ,but   
those ,messengers from our sphere who   
have the commission to count  according 
to our spirit language by numbers1 pages
 and lines in my  publications and days 
for their printing in agreement with the
 calendar1  for this purpose controlling
 the spirits of the compositors1 did not

  hinder them to annoy me in manifold   
ways4 ,at length ,i wrote on the #ast   
inst4 my complaint and carried it to the
 same attorney who without  charge wrote
 the agreement2 but not having found him
 in his office1 ,i  myself carried it to
 the printer1 expecting a good effect4  
,but ,i was as  much disappointed1 as   
when ,i commenced to write the ,fourth  
,treatise and  thought that it would not
 become larger than the largest of the  
preceding ,treatises4 ,but having become
 more than twice as large1 we  stopped  
the composition of the ,fourth ,treatise
 at the end of the #afhth  page1 which  
according to the printer's calculation  
will be finished on  the #agth inst4    
,the portion of the ,fourth ,treatise   
which appears in this  edition is a     
necessary preparation to comprehend the 
proper position of  ,pope ,pius ,,ix4   
and of the ,emperors of ,france and     
,austria1 and to  understand the        
mysteries of the dates of the remarkable
 events in the  last war in ,italy4     

,those dates testify that those events  
happened under  strict control of our   
leaders watching the infernal furies    
destroying  men1 and in so exact a      
correspondence with events of our       
mission1 that  if you comprehend this   
book and act accordingly1 you will open 
soon the  door for the ,new ,era in     
,america and in ,europe2 but if you     
neglect this  the three extraordinary   
witnesses have such a position as to    
continue  judgments4    ,those who      
comprehend this book1 will be anxious to
 read also the  continuation and the end
 of the ,fourth ,treatise1 and will     
collect as  many subscribers as         
possible4 ,as soon as they secure us to 
call a  printer to our ,peace ,union    
,centre and to publish a new edition of 
this  book1 we will send gratis to them 
in an extra pamphlet the ,supplement  to
 the ,fourth ,treatise1 which will      
appear in the next edition4  ,therefore 
we request those who buy this book1 to  
give their exact  direction either to   

those from whom they buy or to send it  
according to  the direction on the      
title-page4    ,,andrew ,b4 ,,smolnikar4
          ,,fifth ,,treatise4           
,the ,plan for ,redemption of ,nations  
from monarchical and other              
oppressive speculations and for the     
introduction of the promised       ,new 
,era of ,harmony1 ,truth and            
,righteousness on the whole globe4      
,we write the following pages only for  
those who have studied all the          
preceding pages of this book1 and       
concentrate the subject of what would   
require volumes1 on few pages1 to be    
gradually developed in our  ,periodical4
 ,on the title-page of this book our    
,mission is expressed1 and  the four    
preceding ,treatises contain            
superabundance of credentials or        
testimonials of our mission as well as  
the great truth1 that the social1       
political and ecclesiastical relations  
of mankind are rotten and  corrupt1 the 
whole structure is a ,babylon1 confusion

 and delusion1 which  is to be abolished
 and on its place truth and justice1    
harmony and peace  are to be established
 by virtue of our mission4    ,readers  
of this book know that ,i speak as      
medium of messengers from the  ,heavenly
 ,congress who have the commission to   
introduce the ,new ,era1 and  as        
representative of messengers by whom    
nations are to be moved for  action to  
escape from the plagues which continue  
in the ruins of ,babylon  till people   
come out and establish the ,new         
,jerusalem1 the new order of  things1 in
 which persons of both sexes will       
receive such development of  their      
intellectual and moral faculties and of 
their physical skill and  strength as   
they will be qualified to receive1 to   
enjoy themselves in  their mortal bodies
 as well as after their departure such  
happiness as  their persons will be     
capable of enjoying while they          
themselves will  contribute1 each member
 his or her share to the common welfare 

of  mankind1 that the whole society will
 progress as far as circumstances  will 
allow4    ,this development demands     
time4 ,it could not take place in a     
moment1 but  means which have been in   
preparation and prepared through the    
course of  ages may be concentrated1 and
 when thus concentrated they may be     
usefully applied in accelerating the    
true and right education of  degraded   
humanity1 and in a few years that may be
 effected1 which past  centuries did not
 effect4 ,but with all the knowledge    
which we have  acquired for promoting   
the true happiness of mankind1 we can do
 nothing  for them1 if they are not     
reached and aroused from their lethargy4
 ,if  they will be redeemed from their  
present miserable and wretched          
condition1 they must begin to comprehend
 where they are and to what  point of   
intellectual and moral perfection with  
corresponding happiness  and health and 
strength of body and mind they could    
arrive1 if they  would apply their      

energy and the means which are prepared 
by nature as  well as by human skill1   
art and science to be used in bringing  
mankind  from their present ,babylon or 
from the existing confusion and delusion
  into the new ,jerusalem1 into the ,new
 ,era1 into the new order of things1    
which is usually called the ,millennium1
 about which there are many false  and  
wrong notions1 but which will be the    
universal republic in which  truth and  
righteousness will reign and all nations
 will be united in the  great           
brotherhood in which they will enjoy    
perpetual peace4 ,we have  received the 
commission and the credentials of the   
,mission to introduce  this state of    
things4    ,to commence with power the  
grand work which is to be accomplished  
by  co-operation of men and women1 who  
are associated amongst themselves and   
united with ,heavenly messengers who are
 commissioned to prepare for the        
promised ,new ,era1 we unite and form an
 ,association which we call             

,peace-,union 7,friedens-,verein71 a    
union of co-operation for establishing  
peace4 ,real1 perpetual peace           
comprehends the restoration of human    
rights4 ,our co-operation for this      
purpose needs a centre1 a place on      
which we concentrate the means to attain
 our object4 ,hence1 we according  to   
our mission1 invite all who are able to 
contribute their share1  either in money
 or property or any kind of mental and  
physical labor for  the realization of  
the object1 that they might co-operate  
with us to  establish first a centre of 
our work1 and according to the pattern  
of  the centre as many other settlements
 as may be required for  accommodation  
of all who would enter into the ,new    
,era4    ,the first centre should be a  
provisional centre1 that is1 a place for
  concentrating our co-operation so long
 as may be necessary1 till for the  same
 purpose a more suitable place be       
furnished4 ,but not all who are  invited
 to co-operate can have accommodation on

 the first central  station1 nor would  
all be ready at once1 who might so      
desire1 if  buildings and other         
necessary conveniences were provided1   
which1  however1 is primarely to be     
attended to4 ,we need co-operators      
everywhere  to arouse as many as can be 
aroused for co-operation with us in     
these  days of ,noah1 at the approach of
 the flood of tribulations4 ,in my      
former  publications as well as in this 
book and in my manuscripts a            
superabundance of credentials are       
exhibited1 that those men and women1    
who are united with us in ,christ's     
spirit1 that is1 in the spirit of  truth
 and righteousness1 and are living in   
accordance with what is  required by    
that ,spirit1 and are spreading the     
glorious news made  manifest by our     
instrumentality for redemption of       
oppressed humanity1  are true messengers
 of ,christ2 but those clergymen who1   
instead of  co-operating with us1 are   
keeping people in shackles of their     

sects and  despising our message of     
peace1 are messengers of the deluding   
and  destroying spirit and supporting   
the ,beast or monarchy which receives   
its power from the dragon1 the deluding 
and destroying serpent which is  the    
image of that spirit1 ,revelation xiii3 
#b4 ,we expect they will  comprehend    
this book and commence to act with all  
their strength as our  fellow-laborers1 
and become with us partakers of the     
blessings which  will originate from our
 co-operation4    ,after this           
preparation we ask1 whether according to
 the common stock  association or       
according to a true community of goods  
the centre and  other settlements of our
 ,peace-,union should be established4 ,i
 wrote many  years ago a plan according 
to a common stock association1 according
 to  which members of the ,peace-,union 
should have prepared themselves and     
others for a true community of goods1   
but within seven years an exact  accouut
 of labor furnished and of its worth as 

well as of other property  should have  
been kept1 and at the expiration of that
 period the division  of profits        
according to the shares of labor        
furnished and other property  invested  
should have taken place1 and during the 
period of seven years  all the members  
should have been prepared for the great 
community or  true republic1 into which 
mankind will finally associate1 that    
those who  would not be sufficiently    
prepared before the expiration of seven 
years  to commence a true community1    
might at least1 in seven years be       
prepared  for it4 ,at the end of that   
plan is the paragraph a portion of which
 we  copy here as preparatory to what   
follows3    ,i have mentioned only some 
of the many points which are to be      
mentioned  in more suitable times1 or in
 the periodical2 because that which has 
been mentioned may suffice to move those
 who are culled and chosen to be  the   
first champions in starting the centre  
of our action4 ,they may  easily        

comprehend1 why we are compelled to     
commence on so low a station1  on which 
continuous accounts and calculations as 
well as many other  inconveniences will 
make much trouble4 ,if we would expect  
good success  on a higher ground1 we    
would commence on that ground4 ,but this
  generation is found in such a         
degradation and corruption1 that also   
the  proposed plan to draw mankind from 
lower to higher stations1 will  probably
 not find directly sufficient support of
 what we need to bring  mankind quickly 
and powerfully into the ,new ,era1 which
 in its splendor  and glory will be the 
great community of goods1 based on true 
republican  principles1 c4    ,this     
paragraph was to be copied1 because we  
must give some explanation  of the      
matter1 that mankind were to be prepared
 in manifold ways1 to  become gragually 
ready to enter into the right order of  
things4 ,readers  of this book know1    
that from ,a4,d4 #ahch till #ahdb my    
five ,german volumes  containing        

,memorable ,events developing the       
dreadful social1  ecclesiastical and    
political state of mankind and          
testifying our mission  to introduce the
 promised ,new ,era1 have been          
published4 ,during and after  the       
publication of those volumes it was     
evident1 that our duty was to  make     
known to those who have read or heard   
somewhat regarding our  mission1 that   
for a powerful co-operation we would    
need a centre of our  action4 ,adolph   
,etzler published that time a book      
entitled3 ,the ,new  ,world or          
,mechanical ,system to ,perform ,labour 
of ,man and ,beast by  ,inanimate       
,powers4 ,i have read it and found the  
principles correct1 and  that although  
all that he proposed1 would not be      
practicable1 some of  his propositions  
could be put in practice4 ,and when ,i  
saw that ,germans  were so chained      
either by materialism or sectarianism1  
that instead of  studying those my five 
,german volumes and of acting           

accordingly they  followed rather after 
their sectarian and materialistic       
leaders who have  published all kinds of
 delusion against my books1 and spoke   
also in a  like manner publicly and     
privately against them1 my directors    
moved me  to tell to those who took more
 or less interest in the contents of my 
books and were skilful mechanics1 that  
they should study ,etzler's book1  and  
if they would find his propositions     
practicable1 they should try to  awaken 
,germans with ,etzler's machine to study
 my ,german volumes4 ,the  best mechanic
 among them1 after having studied       
,etzler's book1 and having  seen the    
draughts of all parts of ,etzler's      
machine and heard ,etzler's  explanation
 of all its parts1 has assured me in    
words and in writing  that he gave all  
his property as security1 that he would 
put ,etzler's  machine in operation4    
,but a seeress who belonged to our      
association1 and  gave amongst all women
 the strongest testimony to our mission1

 although  she did not see the pattern  
of the machine1 received in a vision its
  whole structure and described exactly 
the portions which she saw in the       
vision1 that they broke4 ,she received  
that vision a considerable time  before 
those who were expecting certain        
success1 commenced to build  ,etzlers   
machine4 ,i was certain that the        
prophetical vision would be  fulfilled1 
but ,i expected that afterwards would be
 shown how ,etzler's  mistakes should be
 repaired1 and that great lessons would 
be given to  nations by the trial of    
that machine1 the inventor of which was 
a great  materialist1 not knowing that  
he himself was a strong medium of       
spirits  of a similar character as      
spirits of ,napoleon ,i4 were1 to subdue
 the  world by physical means1 while ,i 
considered that machine as the means of 
peculiar spirit manifestations to awaken
 nations from their materialism  to our 
message of peace containing the true    
spiritualism4 ,the machine  was built   

under ,etzler's direction in ,warren    
,county1 ,pa41 the trial was  made1 and 
the pieces broke which have been        
foreseen and foretold as  breaking4     
,there was a great jubilee of those who 
have been deluded by priestcraft1  that 
they thought when ,christ was killed1   
that he would arise no more1  ,when     
,etzler as well as the man who has given
 me in words and in writing  the pledge 
with his whole property that he would   
put the machine in  operation1 have left
 the place ,i said to those who have    
remained on the  place1 that in the next
 night would be revealed to one of them1
 how the  mistakes made by ,etzler1     
should be corrected and the machine     
should be  put in operation4 ,george    
,karle1 a young lame shoemaker1 a       
sincere seeker  after truth and firm    
believer in our mission1 was the man to 
whom the  mystery was revealed1 and he  
has explained at our meeting the matter 
in  such a manner1 that also those who  
were most opposed1 have at length  been 

convinced1 after having heard his       
explanation how ,etzler's mistakes      
should be repaired1 that he had received
 a true revelation1 and agreed  that he 
should be the director in rebuilding    
,etzler's machine1 to make a  new trial4
 ,but before this has been done1 he was 
brought into the  ,allegheny ,river and 
drowned by the instrumentality of the   
departed  ,mormon ,prophet ,joe ,smith1 
not directly but indirectly by the      
instrumentality of a cow4 ,but a week   
after that1 on the #cjth of ,july1      
#ahdd1 the same destroying spirit ,joe  
,smith was allowed to attack me         
directly1 to show how he would be able  
to kill a man in a minute1 if he  would 
be permitted4 ,but he was seized by my  
guardian and cast into a  combustible   
matter which was by his infernal        
electricity instantly  kindled4 ,george 
,karle was permitted to be drowned1     
because the time for  establishing our  
centre had not yet arrived1 and ,karle  
had an important  mission in the spirit 

world1 and in that great mission he     
continues to  be engaged4    ,it is to  
be understood that the given hints      
regarding ,joe ,smith would  need a     
peculiar treatise4 ,i did not know him  
personally in his mortal  body1 but     
urged preachers of his sect to move him 
to meet me either in a  written         
correspondence or personally1 to learn  
to know his dreadful  delusion4 ,the    
same ,i published in ,the one thing     
needful1 and urged his  ,elders1 to send
 to him an ,english copy of that volume1
 which as readers  of this book know1   
has been translated from the ,german    
into ,english4 ,but  in that year       
matters did not yet arrive to maturity  
for the conversion  of ,mormon ,apostles
 and ,elders4 ,their infernal ,president
 had to show1 how  his army had the     
power to prevent my starting the centre 
of our  operation4 ,but that my meeting 
with the departed ,joe ,smith occasioned
  my meeting with the mortal ,brigham   
,young1 while he was yet in ,nauvoo1    

but although ,i preached to him and his 
disciples the judgment  dipensation1    
they were not yet mature to be          
converted1 and my  manuscripts in which 
dreadful mysteries of the ,mormon       
,spiritualism are  developed1 must wait 
to be published1 when nations will be   
prepared to  read so important          
disclosures4    ,i have given here some 
hints of my experience at and after the 
trial of  ,etzler's machine1 by the     
means of which so much regarding the    
inner life  of man and the spirit world 
and the dreadful condition of mankind   
has  been disclosed1 that volumes would 
be needed to explain it4 ,that          
experience is testifying1 that time did 
not yet arrive for establishing  the    
centre4 ,people were ridiculing me and  
reproaching the machine1 not  knowing   
that ,i have only occasioned its        
building1 and that ,i warned  those who 
undertook to build it1 that they should 
reflect upon the  point1 that at its    
first trial the pieces foretold by the  

seeres would  break1 although they would
 be repaired and the mistake of the     
inventor  corrected1 if they would      
persevere in the work of the ,lord4 ,but
 the wife  of the man who undertook the 
work and gave the pledge1 was instigated
 by  ,jesuites and their agents and made
 him blind in the work in which he had  
to persevere1 that by our experience it 
became at length manifest1 that  the    
trial of the machine was made for great 
instruction of nations4  ,people were   
deluded by the blind leaders of the     
blind and would not hear  us1 when we   
invited them after the trial for        
co-operation to establish a  centre     
without trying any machine1 but only    
using machines which have  been tried by
 others and found to be useful4 ,but    
when we will be in all  directions      
secured with abundant means1 we will    
support inventions for  the common      
welfare4    ,here is no room for further
 explanations1 that wherever ,i         
endeavoured to  start a centre of our   

co-operation on the plan of the common  
stock  association1 great spirit        
manifestations showing the dreadful     
condition  in the existing ,babylon took
 place1 and the inner life of man was   
more  and more developed and all our    
sufferings have been abundantly rewarded
  with imperishable treasures4 ,we give 
here some hints on one case the  full   
explanation of which would need as large
 a volume as this volume  is4 ,during   
the building of ,etzler's machine       
,george ,karle found ,john  ,zeigler in 
a hermitage in which he employed one    
half of his time to  chopping wood and  
the other to studying the ,bible and to 
prepare for a  happy home in the spirit 
world4 ,karle gave him some instructions
  regarding our mission and some of my  
books4 ,zeigler discovered soon that  by
 studying my books he would receive     
light which he could not obtain in      
other ways1 and then he studied them    
deeper than any other mortal man1  and  
whenever his presence was required1 he  

came to give us assistance1  and then he
 returned to his hermitage4 ,in the     
latter part of #ahdi and  the           
commencement of #ahej ,i was preparing  
in ,indiana and ,illinois and           
especially near the line of both states 
people for our message and for          
co-operation to establish on the grand  
prairie our centre4 ,when ,i  thought to
 have found the best location for it1 ,i
 found soon a man of  property who paid 
for the land according to our plan4     
,then ,i wrote to ,j4  ,g4 ,zeigler who 
was from his hermitage preparing people 
by letters for  our message1 that he    
should come1 and then we would write    
together to  such as we would invite to 
come as pioneers4 ,he wrote1 that he was
 ready  to start directly4 ,he started1 
but he was pushed into the ,ohio ,river 
in  the night of the #ajth of ,april1   
#ahej1 between #aa and #ab o'clock by a 
papist instigated by the power of       
darkness4 ,the whole conspiracy was     
then detected to us2 but we committed   

the murderer to the ,judgment of  the   
,heavenly ,court1 and ,zeigler continues
 to work with us amongst the  departed4 
,he was an ,american well versed in     
,english and in ,german1 and  his work  
is extensive4 ,the spirit language by   
numbers should be known in  a certain   
measure to biblical students2 although  
the most celebrated  amongst them know  
very little about it4 ,but those who    
comprehend this  book1 may easily find  
out1 why ,i met with the departed       
,napoleon ,i4 in  the #bjth line of the 
#bjth page1 and why the spirit directed 
me to repeat  this important fact with  
additional circumstances on the #cith   
page1 and  why ,i meet with ,napoleon in
 the #cith line on the #cith page in    
this book4  ,readers in looking into    
these mysteries should keep in mind1    
that the  battle of ,solferino was      
fought on the same day in the year      
#ahei1 on  which day ,i met with        
,napoleon ,a4,d4 #ahci4 ,if you         
understand this book1  you will easily  

comprehend also1 why the spirit was     
pleased to prepare  on the same #cith   
page before the departed ,napoleon the  
departed  ,president ,taylor and        
,buchanan in the ,presidential          
administration1 who  appears to live    
although he is yet dead4 ,but his       
friends should awaken  him to study this
 book and to co-operate with us1 that he
 might escape  the judgment in which    
,president ,taylor was executed1 and    
,john ,george  ,zeigler was sent by the 
,heavenly ,congress to give orders to   
destroying  spirits to carry ,zach4     
,taylor into their infernal regions4    
,zeigler was  the angel of the ,lord1   
mentioned in the first line of the #cgth
 page of  this book4 ,he has shown to   
,zach4 ,taylor1 when he entered from his
 mortal  body into his inner life1 my   
handwriting testifying1 that he had     
neglected to fulfil his highest duty4   
,and ,i have mentioned in this          
connexion of things this incident1 that 
you might do what your  predecessors    

have neglected to do4    ,when by the   
departure of our martyr ,john ,george   
,zeigler was shown1 that  the ,grand    
,prairie was not the place for starting 
our centre1 ,i wrote to  the man who has
 bought and paid for the land1 that he  
was at liberty  either to keep that land
 for his use or to sell it1 and then ,i 
was  preparing in other ,states people  
for our message1 showing them also the  
necessity for starting a centre of our  
co-operation4 ,at lenght at the  end of 
,february and at the commencement of    
,march of this year1 #ahei1 was  in     
peculiar manner made manifest1 that we  
should start the ,centre of  our        
,community or the ,centre for           
establishing the ,true ,republic1 which1
  as has been made manifest1 will be a  
true ,community of ,goods1 and a true   
matrimony of one man with one woman1 as 
has been prophesied by the first        
,christians at ,jerusalem1 but could not
 be accomplished in practice till  the  
dispensation of the fulness of times1   

,ephes4 #a3 #aj4 or the ,new            
,jerusalem1 will be introduced by       
messengers whom ,i represent4 ,if we    
should find before finishing the last of
 the #bd pages of the #hth sheet  some  
space1 we will give hints on the wonders
 and signs by which it has  been shown1 
but explanation of these matters must be
 delayed1 till we  establish a ,printing
 office at the ,centre of our ,peace    
,union ,community4    ,and fear came    
upon every soul3 and many wonders and   
signs were done by  the ,apostles4 ,and 
all that believed were together1 and had
 all things  common4 ,and sold their    
possessions and goods1 and parted them  
to all  men1 as every man had need4     
,acts ii3 #dc1 #dd1  #de4 ,and the      
multitude  of them that believed were of
 one heart1 and of one soul1 neither    
said  any of them that aught of the     
things which he possessed was his own2  
but  they had all things common4        
,neither was there any among them that  
lacked3 for as many as were possessors  

of lands or houses sold them1 and       
brought the prices of all things that   
were sold1 and laid them down at  the   
,apostles feet2 and distribution was    
made unto every man according as  he had
 need4 ,acts iv3 #cb1 #cd1  #ce4        
,this was not the commencement of the   
,community in the ,jewish ,church1 but  
of the great conversion of those who    
have been attached to the sects of  the 
,pharisees and the ,sadducees4 ,besides 
these two sects there was a  third sect1
 called the ,esseni or ,therapeutes4    
,they understood that the  letter of the
 ,jewish ,bible kills and that there was
 in those prophetical  books a deeper1 a
 spiritual sense of what was to come1   
and they retired  into the deserts of   
,egypt1 and were acting from thence to  
convert the  world to their community   
principles4 ,from that association the  
,christian  ,religion originated4 ,jesus
 ,christ was the descendant or offspring
 of the  ,therapeutes or ,healers1 who  
were powerful in healing diseases of    

demoniac influence4 ,their spirittual   
power came from their strictly  moral   
life1 they did not abuse the procreative
 powers1 but those who  were married1   
used them only for obtaining children in
 the right season1  and many of them    
lived in celibacy in the strictest      
continence all their  life time4 ,such  
was the life of the ,therapeute ,monk   
,eli or ,heli1 the  ,father of ,jesus   
,christ1 ,luke #a3bc4 ,he1 while living 
in the strictest  celibacy arrived to an
 advanced age1 and when the time arrived
 for the  procreation of the ,messiah of
 the ,jews1 he became the medium of the 
spirit who was selected by the ,heavenly
 ,congress to seize him and to          
procreate by his instrumentality the    
,messiah4 ,and when the departed  spirit
 called ,gabriel or the power of ,god1  
was operating through ,eli  that is ,my 
,god1 ,mary was seized by her guardian  
and submitted1 that  the offspring was  
not the origin of a carnal co-operation1
 but the work  of a ,holy ,spirit1 so   

that ,jesus ,christ was the             
concentration of the  spiritual power of
 the highest association amongst the    
,jews as well as  of the prophecy of the
 ,jewish ,nation4 ,in one of my former  
writings ,i  have given more disclosure 
regarding this mystery1 but when we will
 have  our own ,printing office1 ,i will
 give a more complete explanation of the
  mystery1 as well as of my generation1 
because if you comprehend this  book1   
you know that we have superabundance of 
signs according to  prophecies1 by      
virtue of which ,i appear as the first  
born son of ,jesus  ,christ for the     
introduction of his peaceable reign on  
earth or the great  ,community or       
,republic1 for which we must prepare by 
establishing a  centre of our           
co-operatian4    ,here is to be         
mentioned that regarding the community  
great abuse was  made of the above      
quoted verses from the above quoted and 
other biblical  passages in monasteries 
and nunneries as well as in other       

associations4  ,christ says to the      
,angel of the church of ,ephesus3 ,but  
this thou hast1  that thou hatest the   
deeds of the ,nicolaitanes1 which ,i    
also hate4  ,revelation1 ii3 #f4 ,and to
 the angel of the church in ,pergamos he
  reproaches3 ,so hast thou also them   
that hold the doctrine of the           
,nicolaitanes1 which thing ,i hate4     
,rev4 ii3 #ae4 ,nicolaitanes in the     
,revelation are the same who are in our 
days known as ,free-lovers4 ,some       
called them ,dr4 ,nichol's people4 ,but 
that ,doctor was at length converted  to
 ,romanism1 lecturing for the ,roman    
,catholic ,church1 and the day before   
yesterday or on the #adth of ,august1 ,i
 read the advertisement of his          
lecturing here in ,new ,york4 ,we       
expect1 that he will get this book1     
comprehend our spiritualism and draw    
many ,roman ,catholics into the true    
,catholic ,church1 or what is the same1 
into our ,peace ,union4 ,man must be    
restored to his true condition4 ,a      

chaste1 pure life in celibacy1 and a    
true matrimony in which carnal          
copulation is usued only for obtaining  
children when sound reason or true      
christian spirit requires it1 this  is  
the true condition of man for his true  
happiness in this and in the  future    
life4 ,all excess in this respect is    
injurious to body and soul of  parents  
and children4 ,as long as mankind are   
not reduced to the right  order in this 
respect1 they remain in their           
degradation and misery4 ,how  they will 
be brought lo the right order in the    
true community as the  only refuge for  
the restoration of the human race will  
be explained in  our ,periodical for the
 common use and particularly to those   
who will  come to our ,peace ,union1    
here not being room except to give hints
 on  many points the full explanation of
 which requires large treatises4 ,here  
we give the following hints4    ,in the 
present ,babylon dollars and cents as   
the means in this state of  affairs used

 for what man needs to support his      
mortal life and for  committing all     
kinds of sins and crimes against his    
fellow men1 occupy  in so dreadful a    
manner the minds of men and women in    
general in their  present degraded      
condition1 that the one thing needful1  
their spiritual  progress is so         
neglected1 that probably if some few    
comprehend this book  so far as to apply
 all their energy to spread it1 they    
will have a hard  task to move the      
public in general to study it so as it  
should be  studied and comprehended4    
,reader should recollect1 that when ,i  
came the  first time in my present      
charge before the public1 the passage   
,luke  viii3 from the #dth to the #aeth 
verse1 was prepared for my use4 ,besides
  dollars and cents there are especially
 the sexual disorders which ruin        
mankind so1 that they appear as dead to 
the truly spiritual things1 for  which  
they will get the right taste1 when in  
the community they  comprehend1 that    

mankind belongs to two houses4          
,americans are quite  accustomed to two 
,houses in the ,capitol of ,washington2 
but in the true  community they will    
learn to be accustomed to the two       
,houses1 or two  departments in one and 
the same house1 to which mankind belong1
 when  they arrive to the higher perfect
 order1 so that males belong to their   
own ,house or department and females to 
their own1 although each husband  has   
his own wife1 and each wife her own     
husband2 but they do not meet  together 
for carnal copulation1 except in the    
right season for the only  object to get
 a child1 with due preparation to       
transfuse a holy spirit  into the child4
 ,nothing is more injurious to the      
parents and to the  child than the act  
of procreation without due preparation1 
which is in  this present ,babylon      
generally neglected4 ,besides this in   
this present  abominable situation of   
mankind1 the act of carnal copulation is
  oftentimes repeated during the        

pregnancy and before the child is       
weaned4  ,all this has a very injurious 
effect upon the child and degrades and  
ruins also the parents4 ,here is no room
 to explain the hints showing the       
origin of the hereditary sins1 which    
will be abolished1 when the true        
community will be flourishing1 and the  
whole ,house of males as well as  the   
whole ,house of females will support    
every individual belonging to  the      
,house1 as well as the whole community  
in their common meetings will  support  
each other in the progression towards   
perfection4    ,these hints may appear  
quite strange to many readers4 ,but if  
they will  come out from the existing   
corruption1 they may be assured1 that   
they  will comprehend me1 when ,i give  
in a long dissertation a complete       
explanation of the given hints1 in the  
supposition that those who have         
comprehended this book know our mission1
 and that we have received the          
knowledge which is required to our      

mission to bring nations out of their   
present corruption which kills many when
 they arrive to manhood and  womanhood2 
and many more before that age1 and not a
 small portion of  them before or soon  
after they are born4 ,and all this      
originates from  the corrupt state      
introduced by the follies of men4 ,when 
these follies  will be removed1 mankind 
in general will commence1 within few    
generations1 to become old and will     
enter into the spirit world with  great 
imperishable riches4    ,we read3       
,verily ,i say unto you1 there is no man
 that has left house1 or  brethren1 or  
sisters1 or father1 or mother1 or wife1 
or children1 or  lands1 for my sake and 
the gospel's1 but he shall receive a    
hundredfold  now in this time1 houses   
and brethren and sisters and mothers and
  children and lands1 'after            
persecution1' and in the world to come  
eternal life4 ,mark x3 #bi1 #cj4        
,according to our reading in the ,greek 
text we translate3 after persecution4   

,when the persecution is  abolished1 the
 promised great advantages will be made 
manifest in the  true community4 ,there 
will not be plurality of wives1 but each
 husband  will have his own wife4 ,now  
father1 mother1 wife or children might  
resist to the determination of a person 
to join with the true community4  ,those
 who comprehend1 that this will be the  
true life in the true reign  of ,christ1
 in his ,peace-,union1 will co-operate  
with us for its  introduction without   
regard to any opposition of their       
nearest  relatives4 ,every one who      
forsakes all and acts with us as much as
 he  can1 for establishing the          
,peace-,union1 will when persecution    
ceases and  the ,peace-,union           
flourishes1 consider those1 who are old1
 as his fathers  and mothers1 those of  
equal age as brothers and sisters1 and  
those who  are younger as his children1 
and all the property belonging to the   
,peace-,union as ours1 and we will truly
 pray to ,god3 ,our ,father4    ,not    

being yet in this happy condition but   
endeavoring to arouse a  general turn   
towards it1 we must make some provisions
 to support the  feeble in their turn1  
and those who turn towards our          
,peace-,union that  they might easier   
settle matters with those who belong to 
their family  and will not turn into our
 ,peace-,union4    ,every individual who
 determines to enter into our community1
 brings all  his property into it1 after
 having settled all his business in the 
world4 ,this property1 according to our 
principles will be taken in  possession 
by the community2 and if it is not money
 but other property1  it will be valued 
according to a very moderate price1 and 
its value and  the amount of money if he
 brings any1 will be put into the ledger
 of the  community1 and a receipt will  
be given to him or her under the        
provisions mentioned as follows3 ,in the
 possible but not probable case1  that  
he or she should return to the former   
fashion1 the value of the  property     

would be returned1 although not         
directly1 but when the  community would 
find easy to do so4 ,in the mean time   
they would exchange  the receipt which  
he or she received at the delivery of   
their property1  with a note containing 
the amount of money and the time when   
the  community promise to pay according 
to the value or course of money at  the 
time received and at the time in which  
it would be paid to him4 ,for  instance1
 if a dollar received would have at the 
time in which it would  be paid1 only   
the value of ten cents1 ten cents would 
be paid to him or  her instead of a     
dollar1 without any interest2 because   
the step should  be made after earnest  
reflection and determination1 and with  
this  provision we must deter hypocrites
 from joining our ,peace-,union2 but to 
those who would be feeble1 all possible 
assistance would be given to  strenghten
 them in the work which they would      
commence4 ,in the true  community when  
it will flourish1 everybody will enjoy  

as much of its  riches as is required   
for his bodily strength and for such an 
intellectual and moral improvement as to
 enrich as much his spirit as  his      
faculties will be prepared to receive1  
that after his departure he  or she     
enters into a happy abode of our ,peace 
,union4    ,i and other pioneers1 who   
are preparing for the happy state which 
the  ,peace-,union community when       
flourishing will enjoy1 must suffer many
  privations4 ,but the spiritual        
treasures which during our great        
struggle  with the opposition we        
acquire1 we carry with us at our        
departure1 and  where our community will
 flourish1 we will rejoice with them who
 will  partake of the fruits of our     
labor1 so that ,i will not be less happy
  than the happiest who will be born in 
our ,peace-,union thousands of years    
after my departure4 ,with this          
consolation every reader should follow  
my  example and act with us for the     
introduction of the ,new ,era4    ,after

 these hints some rules must be         
mentioned regarding the economy and     
management of affairs for the           
introduction and maintenance of the     
,peace-,union to realize what in        
,christ's peaceable reign on earth is   
expected4    ,as soon as circumstances  
will admit1 a printing-office will be   
established on the place on which we    
commence our provisional  ,peace-,union 
centre1 and a ,periodical based on and  
directed by the  principle of free      
discussion will be published1 as the    
nature of the  case1 reason and         
arguments for the restoration of human  
rights demand4  ,and previous steps1    
made before we are enabled to publish   
the  ,periodical1 are subject to be     
criticized in the ,periodical1 and we   
undertake such enterprises or actions as
 we are ready to support before  the    
tribunal of truth and righteousness4    
,this rule contains all that a sensible 
man or woman using his or her           
intellectual and moral faculties may    

demand4 ,if we had used our whole  book 
to develop our plan1 we would not have  
finished our work1 if the  volume had   
been much larger than it is4 ,but the   
points belonging to our  plan1 must be  
gradually developed in our ,periodical1 
and those who  comprehend this book and 
our mission1 superabundance of          
credentials of  which are contained     
here1 will not tarry for a moment to    
co-operate with  all their strength with
 us1 and to draw their mortal and their 
departed  friends into our              
,peace-,union4    ,members of the       
,peace-,union agree to support whatever 
may be shown by  free discussion through
 our ,periodical to be suitable1        
practicable and  necessary to promote   
the common welfare of the ,peace-,union1
 which is the  welfare of mankind4      
,those who would refuse to support it1  
had to show  the contrary in the same   
,periodical1 that it might be discussed1
  otherwise they would be disturbers1   
and if they could be by no means        

corrected1 they would deserve to be     
excluded1 and the ,peace-,union1 after  
having exhausted the means to bring them
 to the right order1 would be  compelled
 to declare them to be separated1 and to
 give them the note or  the certificate 
of their claim according to the rule    
above1 and they  return the receipt     
which they have obtained when they have 
brought their  property into the        
,peace-,union4    ,we illustrate the    
point with an example4 ,i have given1   
for instance1  some hints regarding the 
two departments of males separately and 
females  separately1 notwithstanding the
 true matrimony of one husband with one 
wife4 ,when there is the right time for 
them to procreate a child1 they  will   
have a convenient place for the         
performance of the most responsible     
duty4 ,this my hint1 when sufficiently  
explained1 will satisfy every  friend of
 progression into truth1 righteousness  
and happiness1 and will  give to the    
human affairs quite a new turn1 and     

deliver both sexes from  temptations1 in
 which until now the whole human race   
succumbed and  descended much under the 
degree of the nobler classes of brutes1 
and  parents depraved and ruined        
themselves and children4 ,from all the  
strange and unexpected things disclosed 
in this book readers may expect  that ,i
 have also regarding the true matrimony 
and the restitution of  mankind in such 
a condition in which they will be truly 
happy1 a  glorious message and such     
truths which when sufficiently          
explained1 will  satisfy all lovers of  
progression into the true happiness4    
,but there may  join with our           
,peace-,union some self-conceited person
 who would not give  up what would be   
shown by us as necessary to be removed  
for the  restoration of mankind to their
 true happiness1 and what he would not  
be  able to refute1 and notwithstanding 
this he would remain in his bad  habit4 
,in this case he would compel us to     
remove him4 ,at his removal he  receives

 the note or certificate1 while he      
returns the receipt which he  had       
obtained for what he had put into the   
,peace-,union1 as is explained  above4  
,but we have to add here1 that if those 
who would be separated1  had damaged the
 whole ,peace-,union or some individual1
 the damage is to  be deducted from     
their claim4 ,and it is to be repeated1 
that nobody who  joins with the         
,peace-,union1 has any claim to any pay 
or reward for the  labor performed in   
the ,peace-,union1 into which all men   
and women are  invited to come and to   
remain in it in this mortal body and in 
all  eternity1 and to partake for him or
 her and their families of all  riches1 
spiritual and physical in exchange for  
what they furnish4 ,but  what they      
brought in at their joining1 is returned
 to them1 with  deduction of the        
damages1 if they have caused any at     
their turn into  enemies of the         
,peace-,union1 or which originated by   
their fault1 although  it could not be  

proved1 that they had a malicious       
intention in causing  damages4 ,this    
point is here to be remarked1 that      
children before they  acquire the legal 
age1 if by whatever means they would be 
withdrawn from  the ,peace-,union1 while
 their parents are living there or did  
not depart1  should not receive the     
portion of the property brought for them
 into the  ,peace-,union1 till they     
arrive at the legal age in which they   
have the  right according to the laws of
 the country to depart from their       
parents2  because the ,peace-,union have
 the parental duties towards children   
who  are received with their parents    
into the ,peace-,union4 ,also this is to
 be  mentioned1 that no others except   
who come with their parents or with     
their children into the ,peace-,union1  
have any claim to the property  which   
they bring into it4 ,they settle their  
business with all others1  when they    
join with the ,peace-,union1 and in the 
same time they make  their will1 how    

much they themselves if they would leave
 the ,peace-,union  and some of their   
children would remain in it1 and how    
much each of the  children when in full 
legal age1 would receive1 if he or she  
would leave  the ,peace-,union4    ,we  
thought proper to concede so much to the
 feebleness of those who are  desirous  
to join with the ,peace ,union1 but     
imagine the possible case1  that they   
might be turned out and lose their      
property4 ,for them their  property is  
secured1 althought without interest1 and
 their possible case  is rather         
imagination1 and they would become      
gradually so strong as to  give good    
example to others4 ,but we have         
mentioned a point which must  terrify   
hypocrites to join to our ,peace ,union2
 because their hypocrisy  would become  
in due time manifest1 and then they     
could not stand and  would be turned out
 with demand to repair damages4         
,therefore they should  remain in       
,babylon till they have a sincere desire

 to join with us for  their true        
conversion to our principles and        
corresponding acting with  us4 ,when    
they are determined to act for this     
purpose they should not be  afraid to   
join the ,peace ,union on account of the
 possibility of being  separated2       
because no person will be separated     
except such as deserves  in consequence 
of immoral acts or gross omissions of   
what is absolutely  necessary for       
obtaining the object of our association1
 after having been  sufficiently        
instructed and exhorted that their      
toleration would ruin  the ,peace       
,union4 ,a separate person1 if he or she
 would think there was  not sufficient  
cause for separation1 will be permitted 
to publish in our  ,periodical the      
reason or reasons of his or her         
complaint4 ,by doing so1  however1 he   
gives occasion for members of the ,peace
 ,union to publish  their remarks on his
 reasons1 that truth might be made      
manifest2 because  the object of the    

,peace ,union is the restoration of     
human rights1 and  therefore her members
 engage and promise to correct any      
mistake1 when it  is shown and it is    
proven4    ,the nature and object of the
 ,peace ,union is1 that science or      
knowledge  in every department and every
 branch of enterprise directs and       
governs  the work4 ,therefore the man or
 woman who is found to be most skilful  
in  any art1 business or work1 is to be 
elected as foreman1 and continues to    
act as such1 till some one more skilful 
is found4 ,and then to him the  place is
 to be given1 however1 not before it is 
shown1 that by  exchanging the place    
sufficient advantage will accrue to the 
community4  ,the member who thinks he is
 able to show this1 may assemble members
  belonging to the branch of that       
business1 or if the case is a general   
case1 members in general1 the body of   
females having their votes as well  as  
the body of males in general affairs2 in
 particular branches the body  decide   

who belong to that branch4 ,whoever     
calls members together1 shows  them the 
case1 and if the majority find his      
reasons to be sufficient1  the person   
proposed obtains the office4 ,but before
 votes are taken1  those who are        
assembled1 must also hear the           
objections4 ,but if there is  any member
 who thinks1 that the decision was not  
made according to  justice1 he may      
announce the matter to the assembled1   
showing them their  mistake and his duty
 that if they will not correct their    
mistake1 he  will make known the reasons
 of his complaint against the decision  
in the  ,periodical of the ,peace       
,union4 ,and the assembled1 if they see 
that he is  right1 are bound to receive 
thankfully that which is right1 but if  
they  see that he is wrong1 they are    
bound to show him this4 ,but if he1     
notwithstanding this1 publishes his     
reasons1 those who do not agree with    
him1 are bound to show in their replies 
that he will riot act according  to     

sound reasons1 but is disposed to make  
disturbance1 deserving to be  expelled4 
,in this case if he continues to be     
obstinate against evidence1  he should  
be expelled peaceably4    ,in the first 
place we need a centre4 ,and according  
to the pattern of the  centre as many   
settlements on other places will be     
established as will  be needed to       
accommodate all who will find best to   
move from their  present situation to a 
settlement of our ,peace ,union4 ,but   
everywhere  persons of our principles   
will be needed to instruct and          
strengthen the  neighbours4 ,the hints  
given here will be so modified to their 
situation  as their circumstances will  
require4    ,in the centre is to be     
concentrated1 what is to be spread      
everywhere1 to  benefit in the first    
place members of the ,peace ,union and  
by their  instrumentality as many others
 as can be reached4 ,therefore          
co-operation  and support from all who  
comprehend this book and their          

application to  others is necessary to  
raise means1 for establishing what is   
required in  the centre4 ,although all  
who contribute for the centre1 will not 
have  chance to reside there1 they will 
have a chance to send some of their     
children or relations to the            
institutions of the ,university for the 
,new  ,era1 which will be established   
there1 according to our plan1 according 
to which a great change will take place 
in studies1 that all  intellectual and  
moral faculties of students will be     
harmoniously  developed1 and much time  
will be gained for learning every day   
for some  hours in the school and for   
some hours in the shops and elsewhere   
that  to learn which each will be most  
qualified and inclined4 ,wherefore those
  who afford money and other property   
for the centre and what is needed       
there1 acquire the right to reside      
there1 when needed as teachers1 or  for 
mechanical branches1 arts1 sciences1 for
 agriculture1 horticulture1  c4 ,what   

mankind need for the ,new ,era1 should  
be shown there to students              
theoretically and practically4          
,therefore all who have superabundant   
means1 if they comprehend this book1    
will send such an amount as they  can   
spare1 as donations1 which will become  
spiritual treasures to the  donors4     
,when the institutions which according  
to our plan should be at  our centre1   
will be established1 there will be such 
competition of  students1 that there    
will not be room for accommodation of   
all4 ,all that  is given as donation for
 raising our institutions1 will be put  
in our  ledger for the benefit of the   
donors1 so that1 when all students could
  not be accommodated at our centre1    
those recommended by the donors would   
be prefered to others1 the case         
excepted1 that others be found more     
useful in our mission1 if they study the
 branches4    ,those who have no        
superabundance of means to give a       
donation1 are  invited to invest for    

establishing the centre as much as their
  cicumstances permit1 to be invested   
for their benefit1 as belonging to      
them1 although without any interest in  
money1 but with the advantage1  that    
when all students could not be          
accommodated at our centre1 their  sons 
and daughters would have the preference 
before such as have done  nothing       
towards the foundation of the centre4   
,and if any have land1 who  are desirous
 that on their land a settlement might  
be started according  to our plan for   
the ,new ,era1 by their furnishing means
 for starting the  centre they acquire  
the claim and right that their land     
shall be taken  for that purpose rather 
than the land of another who had done   
nothing  for the centre1 when           
circumstances would not require the     
preference of  the land of other for a  
new settlement of our ,peace ,union4    
,from what has been mentioned1 the      
following general rule may be derived3  
,without having a centre of our         

communities we cannot accomplish our    
work4 ,therefore all who comprehend us1 
are solemnly entreated to  contribute   
without delay what their circumstances  
allow4 ,if they cannot  send a donation1
 they are entreated to send what will be
 regarded as  theirs without bearing    
interests1 but bearing to them all the  
advantages  to which according to the   
circumstances they are qualified1 to    
come1  when all will be prepared1 to the
 centre1 if they can be employed there2 
otherwise they may be useful to our     
community on the place which they  now  
occupy1 or they may join with an other  
place of our community4 ,in  this case  
the centre settles with that community  
in reference to what  they have advanced
 to the centre1 to be sent1 when the    
centre is able to  do so1 to that       
community for them1 if they should not  
prefer to leave it  in the centre to be 
consumed there by such students as they 
would send  to the ,university in the   
centre of our ,peace ,union1 where all  

the  knowledge and wisdom which can be  
obtained1 will be concentrated to  bring
 mankind into that situation which is   
promised and mankind are able  to attain
 by the right application of their      
intellectual and moral  faculties and   
their physical strength1 and the proper 
use and right  application of all the   
knowledge which has been propagated     
through the  course of centuries and    
improved in our age4    ,no money or    
other property can or will be taken into
 the ,peace ,union1  settlements to be  
put into their ledger for the benefit of
 the person  who invests it1 to be      
returned in the case that the person or 
one of his  or her family should leave  
the ,peace ,union1 except money that has
 been  acquired in an honest manner4 ,by
 the term honest we mean a manner  which
 is not only justifiable according to   
the laws of the country1 but  also      
according to the moral laws attributable
 to the person who invests  it1 at least
 so far1 that no person or society is   

known to whom it  should be restored4   
,we do not mean the severest scrutiny1  
but the usual  course of affairs2       
because according to our plan by those  
who will join  the ,peace ,union1 the   
way will be opened for a final          
restoration of all  human affairs into  
the right order4 ,to this point we must 
gradually  proceed4    ,by what we have 
remarked in regard to money as the root 
of all evil1 if  it is not managed for  
the commom welfere1 it is a necessary   
evil as far  as business is done with   
those who do not belong to our ,peace   
,union1 and  we are compelled to make   
use of many evils which are yet in      
existence1  to bring nations out of the 
evil into the ,new ,era4 ,we must make  
such use  of money as to promote the    
welfere of the ,peace ,union which      
encloses the  welfere of all nations1   
which would not he promoted1 if we would
 take  any amount of money from those   
who enter into our ,peace ,union under  
the  condition to return it in case1    

they would leave the ,peace ,union4     
,under  this condition we could take no 
more than one thousand dollars1 so that1
  if any man or woman would come with   
his or her family1 and bring more  than 
one thousand dollars for each person    
belonging to his or her  family1 after  
having settled all matters of business  
with others1 we  could not take more    
than the mentioned sum under the        
mentioned  condition1 to wit1 if husband
 and wife with parents and children1    
would  join1 for each of them one       
thousand dollars3 the surplus they had  
to  give as donation1 if they would not 
accept the advice which is given  below4
    ,also this is to be mentioned1 that 
if a family comes on the place of the   
,peace ,union and they invest for each  
member of the family a certain sum1  and
 some of the family would be taken into 
the spirit world1 and the  others would 
leave the ,peace ,union1 in this case   
only that has been  invested for them1  
would belong to them4 ,what was given   

for the  departed1 remains in the ,peace
 ,union4 ,also in the case1 that a      
father  would come with a large or with 
a small family and give for each        
individual a certain sum1 and then the  
others would remain1 but he  himself    
would become a backslider1 his claim    
would be only to the money  which he had
 invested for his own person4 ,the same 
priciple is to be  applied in every     
case1 in which somebody invests a       
certain sum for  himself1 and besides   
also sums for others4    ,to those who  
have greater riches than one thousand   
dollars for each  individual of their   
family1 is to be said1 that they are    
only  administrators of that property to
 make the poor rich and the rich truly  
happy4 ,and whereas the ,peace ,union   
undertakes this great work1 a rich      
person should be instructed and         
enlightened1 that this will not take    
place in any other way than by a true   
community1 for which we have given  this
 sketch1 only in this point deviating   

from the course which we would  pursue  
if we would have to deal with perfect   
persons1 that we found  proper to       
concede1 that if any body should leave  
the ,peace-,union  settlement1 he should
 receive in due time the sum invested   
not exceeding  one thousand dollars4    
,but those whose property reaches       
higher1 will go  the safest way         
according to ,christ's direction3 ,go   
thy way1 sell  whatever thou hast and   
give to the poor1 and thou shalt have   
treasure in  ,heaven2 and come and take 
up thy cross and follow me4 ,mark x3    
#ba4 ,this  man to whom ,christ gave    
that advice had great possessions4 ,and 
we give  to those who have great riches 
the same advice1 but with a different   
application4 ,jesus ,christ1 the ,father
 of the ,new ,era which is to be        
introduced by our mission1 had not the  
chance in ,palestine1 which we  have in 
the ,united ,states4 ,he advised as he  
could in his circumstances1  and we give
 in our circumstances to the rich who   

have great possessions  the following   
advice and the best for them to be      
saved3 ,give as a  donation as much into
 our ,peace-,union centre as you are    
able to do for  raising our institutions
 as the best means for the redemption of
 the  poor and degraded people from the 
existing misery and distress1 and come  
and learn how to administer your        
possessions for the poor1 and we will   
send with you to your possessions,,ab a 
man to commence there with you a        
community for the poor only1 and you may
 call poor people of your choice        
together4 ,and you should superintend1  
and our administrator should  assist you
 and labor with you to educate the poor 
so as to make them  truly rich and      
happy4 ,and you1 while you would have   
enriched our centre  as much as would be
 possible without selling your          
possessions1 would be  the presiding    
elder at the community of the poor made 
rich by your  possessions1 and when you 
would be pleased to stop with those in  

the  centre1 you would be received as   
one of the founders1 and you would have 
treasure in ,heaven4    ,what ,i say to 
one ,i say to all rich men and women4   
,if they receive our  advice they will  
become very rich and happy2 but now they
 are wretched  and miserable and poor   
and blind and naked1 ,revelation iii3   
#ag4 ,they  are the ,heads in ,laodicea1
 which means the judgment of the people1
 whom  they are preparing for           
destruction1 and for themselves the     
hell4 ,luke  xvi3 #bc4 ,from them is    
more required to be saved than from     
those who have  only a small property in
 comparison with the great possessions  
of the  rich1 and their small property  
they have earned with hard labor4 ,but  
it  would be too troublesome to reckon1 
how they had acquired their riches4     
,but instead of a long reckoning or a   
general confession of their sins  and   
crimes we show them the shortest and    
surest way to ,heaven4    ,we must say  
also to those who invest property not   

exceeding one thousand  dollars for each
 member of their family into our        
,peace-,union with the  reserve that if 
they leave the ,peace-,union1 that      
property should be  returned to them in 
equivalent without any interest1 and at 
a time in  which the ,peace-,union can  
easily do this without hurting their own
  business1 that this reserve will      
continue only until the time in which   
they will be sufficiently strengthened  
in the principles of the true           
community1 and convinced that this is   
the only way for redemption of          
oppressed humanity4 ,when they will     
advance so far1 they will sign the      
covenant of the ,new ,era1 they         
themselves and those of their family who
  are of age and with them united in the
 ,spirit2 and they will transfer  the   
property which is their portion to the  
community1 which secures  their rights  
to the provisions for their body and    
their spirit to enjoy  such happiness as
 the ,peace-,union will be able to      

afford to prepare them  for the society 
of blessed spirits4    ,from these hints
 you see1 that the true community       
consists of members  who give all their 
property1 without any reserve1 and      
receive all the  advantages which a     
mutual co-operation in the true         
brotherly spirit  affords4 ,at the      
commencement they must be tried4 ,on the
 title-page of  this book we have       
mentioned1 that it is published at the  
,peace-,union  ,centre4 ,we intended to 
give explanation of the matter in this  
plan4 ,we  are starting there the       
,peace-,union ,centre4 ,about five      
hundred acres of  land1 with farmhouse1 
barn1 orchard c4 belong to that         
property1 on a  beautiful very healthy  
hill1 with excellent springs of soft    
water1  romantic locations for          
buildings1 and all kinds of institutions
 for the  ,new ,era4 ,the soil as far as
 may be cleared1 is good for raising all
  kinds of fruits1 and as much as we    
will need of vegetables4 ,but our       

centre will be for literary             
institutions1 surrounded with all kinds 
of  the best mechanics and artists1 from
 whom students will learn all kinds  of 
work4 ,therefore the largest portion of 
grain will be obtained from  other      
settlements to which productions at the 
centre will be sent in  exchange4 ,about
 one hundred acres of the land are      
cleared and much more  can be cleared   
and used for different purposes1 but the
 largest portion  of that land is       
,toscarora mountain1 producing wood1    
timber1 stone for  building1 and is good
 for different other purposes1 for      
instance1 the  top of the mountain for  
our observatory1 c4    ,spring ,hill in 
,racoon ,valley belonged to ,abraham1   
the oldest of the  twelve sons of my    
departed friend ,christian ,long4       
,christian was one of  the students of  
my ,german books1 and strong witness of 
our mission2 but  his son ,abraham      
preaching water baptism was not prepared
 to receive his  testimony4 ,but        

,christian and others in his company    
amongst the departed1  were operating   
and preparing this place1 while we      
thought that we had  already succeeded  
in taking another place in possession1  
seventeen miles  from this place1 and we
 have been in quite an unexpected manner
  instructed that ,springhill is the    
place in which we should start the      
,peace-,union ,centre1 and we have      
received the place as cheap as the worth
  of its improvements may be valued4    
,this is according to our principles1   
according to which the land belongs to  
the whole human family1 and to  the     
improvements only each individual may   
claim as much right as he has  consumed 
labor to produce them4 ,but it is       
evident also that labor never  can be   
exactly valued1 and ,i had to write a   
very large volume to expose  the        
manifold forms of labor1 in which time  
is wasted1 to corrupt and  ruin human   
society4 ,all the hints given in this   
book1 may convince any  investigating   

mind1 that there is no redemption of the
 degraded and  wretched condition of    
mankind except in the community in which
 men will  be brought gradually into the
 true happy state in this life and in   
the  spirit world1 and will draw their  
departed friends into higher spheres4   
,being compelled by circumstances to    
take away manuscript containing the     
spirit battle by which not only this1   
that we have to start our  ,peace-,union
 as a community and in ,springhill1 but 
also many other  important points have  
been disclosed1 which although they were
 known to  us long time before that1 may
 arouse the attention of those who would
  not hear us otherwise1 except when    
they hear extraordinary spirit          
manifestations1 which in connexion with 
starting our ,peace-,union ,centre  on  
this place may be published another     
time4 ,but here we must mention  that by
 quite an unexpected vision against the 
wishes of the medium and  his wife our  
doctrine has been illustrated1 to wit1  

that those who make  a covenant with our
 ,peace-,union community1 separate so   
from those who  remain in ,babylon1 that
 if of those who are married1 one       
partner would  make such a covenant1 but
 the other would remain in ,babylon1 we 
would do  all in our power to draw also 
that partner into our community4 ,but if
 he  or she would remain obstinate      
despiser of our ,heavenly message1 we   
according to ,divine law would consider 
the person who made the covenant  with  
our ,peace-,union as perfectly free to  
marry a person belonging to  our        
community1 and labor at the same time to
 convert the ,government to  acknowledge
 our mission and the ,divine law made   
manifest by our  mediumship4 ,what ,god 
hath joined together let no man put     
asunder4  ,matth4 xix3 #f4 ,what the    
devil has joined together1 ,god puts    
asunder4  ,if we have the mission       
expressed on the title-page1 and        
confirmed by all  signs and wonders     
which have been mentioned in this book1 

and with which  hundreds of volumes     
could be filled1 then it is evident that
 the devil  has joined those together or
 the devil will keep them together1 when
 one  understands our mission and       
advances so far that he or she makes the
  covenant with our community and the   
other resists and will keep him or  her 
in ,babylon1 when he or she starts to   
come out of her not to be  partaker of  
her sins4 ,the partner1 may be he or    
she1 who remains  obstinate1 remains in 
the great whore of the #agth chapter of 
the  ,revelation1 is an adulterer or    
adulteress in the spiritual sense1 and  
certainly with whoredom or other        
abominations he or she became so        
endarkened1 that when the partner       
progressed so far1 as to comprehend  our
 ,heavenly message1 the destroying devil
 will detain him or her from  the truth 
made manifest in our message4 ,those who
 have comprehended this  book to this   
point1 know that our case is just the   
contrary to the so  called ,free ,love1 

diametrically opposed to it4 ,a chaste  
husband or wife  will comprehend us1 but
 those who will continue in their       
fornication and  adultery1 will cry     
against us and misrepresent truth for   
their  destruction4 ,here is no room for
 explanation of a point1 on which ,i    
will  write an extraordinary treatise1  
in which ,i will report and explain also
  the mentioned vision1 when the        
diseased stomachs will be ready to      
digest  our most wholesome medicine4    
,in this compression is also to be      
remembered1 that the promise given on   
the #deth page in regard to the four in 
,baltimore executed in connexion  with  
my visit to ,president ,buchanan appears
 in a more dreadful shape in  the       
portion of the #dth treatise which will 
appear in the second edition  of this   
book if that edition shall be demanded1 
than ,i would have  expected1 when ,i   
mentioned that case4 ,when ,president   
,buchanan1 ,governor  ,hicks and other  
,grandees of ,washington and ,maryland  

were not prepared to  afford money for  
buying ,springhill for our ,peace ,union
 ,centre and for  publishing this book1 
we read on the #db;d page3 ,the same    
time a great  sign was given so that ,i 
was sent speedily from ,baltimore to the
 ,western  ,reserve of ,ohio4 ,a4,d4    
#ahed we commenced to prepare ,brother  
,robert ,d4  ,eldrige in ,baltimore for 
our mission4 ,then happened many wonders
 and  signs in connexion with him1 till 
at length a sign was given in           
,baltimore4 ,but the principal of the   
four executed in ,baltimore was  brought
 before me in the ,western ,reserve of  
,ohio1 and you will hear of  strange    
spectacles in the next edition regarding
 that manifestation in  connexion with  
the four ,presidents ,taylor1 ,fillmore1
 ,pierce and  ,buchanan4 ,after having  
performed the trials of spirits in the  
,western  ,reserve of ,ohio1 ,eldrige   
started with me1 and after having tried 
spirits  in different places during our 
travelling1 we arrived at length at     

,abraham ,long's1 and ,i showed to      
,brother ,eldrige some of the secret    
treasures on the premises of            
,springhill1 where ,heavenly ,wisdom,,ac
  prepared a great variety of most      
beautiful sceneries1 magnificent        
fairviews on a number of sites very     
suitable for excellent buildings1  and  
to all those places excellent springs of
 soft water may be derived  by few rods 
of pipes1 and excellent stone for       
buildings and  superabundance of wood is
 most handy4 ,we took then the deeds in 
the name  of our ,peace ,union          
,community,,ad1 and we appear as        
,trustees1 ,i by virtue  of my mission1 
in duty bound to communicate the spirit 
who has sent me  for the fulfilment of  
the most glorious promises to mankind1  
with those  who will receive this spirit
 and will be drawn from ,babylon into   
the ,new  ,jerusalem1 and ,robert ,d4   
,eldrige by virtue of his mission1 who  
came with  money and paid for the place 
with the rights which are given in this 

plan to those who invest money1 and with
 the duty of superintendency for  a good
 success4 ,in those our duties all are  
bound to support us1 who  join with the 
,peace ,union4    ,on the #aath day of  
,july1 #ahei1 my ,document1 entitled3   
,great ,news for  the ,friends of       
,progression in ,truth and              
,righteousness towards the  promised    
,new ,era of ,harmony and ,peace amongst
 all nations was set in  type1 the      
proof-sheet corrected by me1 and a      
portion of copies struck  off on the    
same day4 ,we were preparing readers for
 the first convention  which will be    
held in the ,new ,hall on the ,peace    
,union settlement in the  latter part of
 the next month1 and requesting ,editors
 to publish that  ,document4 ,but ,i    
think that the warlike spirit of        
destruction kept most  of them in the   
servitude of monarchs4 ,but that        
document was to be set in  type and     
printed on the same day1 on which       
,napoleon and ,francis ,joseph  made    

their treaty of peace at ,villafranca   
for an important testimony1  that       
spirits from our sphere have controlled 
the affairs also there1 so  that if you 
hurry to do what is required in this    
book1 you will prevent  immense         
destruction of human life and property  
in this country1  otherwise you should  
know that ,i have done more than from a 
mortal man  could be expected1 to move  
you for action4 ,but when men become    
such  beasts that they have no sense for
 spiritual things1 destruction is a     
necessary consequence4 ,at the          
commencement of the first treatise page 
#f  you see that ,mr4 ,belly gave       
occasion to that treatise4 ,last month  
he  came again to ,paris and remains    
there according to newspapers until the 
#bjth of the next month2 and ,i proposed
 that on the same day our first         
convention should commence in the ,new  
,hall4 ,we quote from said document  in 
which the title of this book is copied1 
the close as follows3 ,the  book with   

the above copied title will be published
 by ,robert ,d4 ,eldrige  in our        
,convention1 and then copies will be    
sent by him to those who send  to him   
the money 7#ej cents fur one copy1      
twenty dollars for #ej copies1  #ce     
dollars for #ajj copies7 either before  
or after or at the ,convention4  ,he    
being a man of property and known as our
 trusty fellow labourer for  improving  
the condition of mankind1 has charge of 
the business  department at our ,peace  
,union1 while1 ,i the writer of this    
book and of  this article am bound to   
devote my precious time to spiritual    
objects  for ,harmony and ,peace of     
,nations1 requesting to direct letters  
which do  not belong particularly to my 
sphere1 to him under the direction3     
,robert  ,d4 ,eldrige1 ,donnally's      
,mill1 ,perry ,co3 ,pa4 ,this book      
appears small for  this price2 but      
remember the contents of page #afi1 and 
collect  subscribers1 and as soon as we 
print the second edition1 we will send a

  large pamphlet as supplement without  
additional charge4 ,in the mean time  we
 assure you that also this small book   
contains so large an amount of  most    
important points for you1 that the      
oftener you study it1 the more  you will
 learn to appreciate its value2 and the 
enormous labour for  obtaining all the  
parts contained in this book cannot be  
paid with  money1 and my labour never   
was paid4    ,on the #aath of this      
month1 ,august1 #ahei1 there came many  
people to  ,springhill4 ,an             
extraordinary medium who had been in    
,england an ,elder  amongst the         
,baptisers wrote on the #acth ,instant  
to me3 ,i came on foot  to ,springhill1 
,peace ,union ,centre1 a long walk of   
about #ag miles in hot  weather4 ,we    
raised the frame work of the ,large     
,hall4 ,the day 7#aath  inst47 was fine1
 and all things went on well1 and the   
work that is done1  looks well and in   
good order4 ,all kinds of rumors and

#f miles west of ,millerstown1 the      
stopping place for the ,cars4    ,our   
,periodical1 spoken of in the plan1 will
 be published as soon1 as  there will be
 a sufficient number of subscribers4 ,in
 the expectation  that those who are    
versed in ,english1 will comprehend us  
first1 we will  publish it first in     
,english1 in ,quarto1 to be preserved in
 books and  translated in as many other 
languages as needed2 because it will    
contain  social1 ecclesiastical and     
political matters and movements of      
nations  and daily news of importance1  
considered from our position1 to draw   
nations from the existing confusion and 
degradation into the new order  of      
things4 ,all that will improve the      

condition of mankind1 and what is       
hurtful for them1 as far as we will have
 opportunity,,ae to reach it1  will be  
examined from our position4 ,but there  
not being room in this  book1 we will   
publish in the first number which will  
issue1 when we are  secured by          
subscriptions1 what we will find proper 
to draw those amongst  all nations who  
have somewhat new for improving mankind1
 to send it for  publication in our     
,periodical4 ,every one who sends       
somewhat of this  kind1 will add his    
full direction and occupation4 ,if his  
or her  communication is found by those 
whom we find to be competent judges in  
that branch1 to be such as required1 it 
will be published when room will  be for
 it in our ,periodical4 ,but if it is   
not found such as to be  published1 the 
writer will be named and the reason     
given1 why it cannot  be published4 ,if 
the writer should think to have been    
injured1 our  ,periodical would be open 
to publish his complaint with the       

preliminary  requisites which will be   
made known in our first number as quite 
reasonable to save time to him and us   
and to the readers as well as to  the   
printers and others4 ,i quoted purposely
 some passages from the  letter of our  
friend ,peter assuring that he is ours  
truly in bonds for  truth waiting for   
deliverance4 ,if the talkers of nonsense
 had asked  those to whom we told1 why  
we selected that place for that         
building1  near the farm house and the  
springs1 they had received information4 
,the  basement of the new building is a 
large cellar1 the first story a large   
,hall1 having in the midst a partition1 
which we remove when we use the  whole  
,hall1 but the second story has a       
partition which cannot be removed  and  
each department has its own stairs4 ,the
 farm house and the new  building are in
 a cove4 ,the first story of the        
building will be  provisionally,,af used
 for our ,conventions1 till the         
substantial edifice  within the most    

magnificent fairview will be            
established4 ,with this  fairview we    
entreat most earnestly every reader to  
collect as many  subscribers for this   
book as well as for the ,periodical1 as 
he or she is  able to collect4 ,the book
 is to be paid for at the delivery1 and 
the  ,periodical will cost #b a year1   
money to be paid for half a year or a   
year at the delivery of the first       
number4    ,whoever secures us five     
subscribers receives six copies4 ,and   
those who  will act as agents1 after    
having comprehended by studying this    
book our  plan and adopt it1 are        
regarded as our fellow-laborers1 when   
they show  practically that they belong 
to our ,peace-,union4 ,if the expected  
exertions are made1 we may be able to   
publish the first number of our         
,periodical at the commencement of the  
year #ahfj4    ,our first ,convention   
next month at the ,peace ,union ,centre 
is announced  in our ,circular4 ,but    
readers of this book are requested to   

proclaim1  that on the first day of     
,november #ahei1 the second ,convention 
will  commence and continue for two     
weeks1 and that only those persons of   
both  sexes are invited to attend1 who  
after having comprehended our mission   
are ready to act as missionaries or to  
support with their means our            
enterprises to establish what is needed 
at the ,centre4 ,and for this  purpose  
we intend to hold successively a number 
of ,conventions4 ,the  second could be  
attended by those who belong to the     
,cabinet and the  ,congress of          
,washington1 or to any legislature4     
,each ,convention will last  one or two 
weeks4 ,those who comprehend this book  
will tell or write to  those with whom  
they are acquainted1 that although the  
contents of this  book are of importance
 for any body1 those who belong to the  
,government  need most to understand    
them4 ,this book will be taken as the   
text-book1  but also those who may have 
read it before many times1 will receive 

in  the ,convention new light to        
understand it better and to hear many   
things  which are not mentioned in the  
book4 ,there may be so many aroused to  
attend the ,convention that all could   
not be accommodated4 ,therefore  whoever
 and whenever he determines to attend   
one of our ,conventions1 he  is         
requested to write directly1 and to give
 an exact direction1 and put  a letter  
stamp into his letter1 and we will      
answer it1 and tell1 whether  he could  
be accommodated in that or in any of the
 following ,conventions4  ,boarding is  
to be had as moderately as we can afford
 it4 ,the rule is to  be observed also  
afterwards in this and in the next year1
 that whoever  wishes to attend our     
,convention1 is requested to write      
directly1 and he  will receive an answer
 when he could be accommodated4 ,answer 
may come  sooner or later1 because it   
may depend upon circumstances1 when     
after  the receipt of his or her letter 
our next ,convention would be held4     

,probably there is in this last form no 
room1 to say more than that our         
,post-,office address is on the         
title-page and also three or four pages 
before this4 ,it has been said that the 
stopping place for the cars is          
,millerstown1 ,perry ,co43 ,pa4 ,i      
desire nothing more than to draw you    
into  the sphere of our ,heavenly abode 
as your sincere brother4    ,,andrew ,b4
 ,,smolnikar4          ,remark4 ,i      
perused #aib pages of this book while   
the last form was in  composition1 and  
found a moderate number of errata as may
 be easily  corrected by the reader2 for
 instance1 he may connect himself in the
 #gth  line of the ,preliminary ,remarks
 the two particles ,,in ,,to in one     
word1  and he may separate where he     
finds two words close together and      
change ,c  and ,e1 also ,n and ,u and   
some other letters when required1 or add
 when a  letter is omitted1 or cast it  
out when it is superabundant4 ,such     
trifles  will not trouble those who are 

anxious to learn to understand this     
book1  nor if they read sometimes       
,,connexion and other times             
,,connection1 ,i  always write          
,,connexion2 but ,i was assured1 that   
according to the present  fashion       
,,connection is more used1 although this
 use is irregular4    ,the general rule 
is observed by our invisible messengers 
mentioned on  the #afith page1 while    
they are controlling the spirits of the 
compositors1 that they let them commit  
such errata as disturb the sense  on    
such pages1 on which the reader should  
stop and reflect upon the  connexion of 
matters4 ,an astonishing lesson was     
given1 when ,i received  the order to   
stop the composition of the ,fourth     
,treatise at the end of  the #afhth     
page4 ,the manuscript for that ,treatise
 contains #he pages1 and  the #afhth    
page of this book ends in the middle of 
the #cdth page of  manuscript4 ,the     
spirit who made this provision exhorts  
powerfully  readers to digest the #afh  

pages and to prepare for what follows4  
,i did  not know1 what our invisible    
agents intended to put on the #afhth    
page1  till ,i saw in the proof sheet   
the six oxen1 the first of whom is      
,joseph  ,ox1 on the #gdth place of our 
catalogue4 ,these oxen are supporting   
the  mysteries on the #hjth and #hast   
places of our catalogue1 and those two  
mysteries are in the #dth line of the   
#afhth page4 ,this provision tells  that
 you should pay peculiar attention to   
the contents from the #gdth to  the     
#hast page of this book1 and you will   
find amongst the ,americans  those who  
furnish as great assistance to the      
,beast with ten horns as the  six oxen  
on the #afhth page4 ,but on the #bast   
line of the #hb;d page1 my              
interpretation,,ag commences1 and the   
omission in the midst of the #hc;d  page
 exhorts you that you should reflect    
upon the ,sect of ,adventurists         
mentioned in the #ith line from the     
bottom of the #hc;d page4 ,in my        

manuscript were only ,adventists4 ,but  
,i tell you that the young boy who  set 
in type the largest portion of this     
book1 was a peculiar medium4  ,noyse and
 ,himes and all those whom they         
represent belong to the sect of         
,adventurists who are the greatest      
supporters of ,popery4    ,all other    
marvellous things you will hear in our  
,convention commencing  ,november #a1
