AFTER MANY DAYS.

THE following cheering response to the truths taught by Father Miller long ago, has lingered in an honest heart, these many years, and is now found again to encourage us with the thought that the truth can never die:—

When fourteen years old, in 1844, in the Broadway (New York) tabernacle, I heard Father Miller preach the first message with force and power to a full house and crowded street. It was indeed as sweet as honey at first, but it did not endure, for I was at the time a wild sailor; yet his words of truth have been ringing in my heart, wherever I have been,—in Japan, the Okhotsk Sea, Guam, Sandwich Islands, California, Nebraska, Missouri, etc. And I believe with all my heart that those words, “For the hour of His Judgment is come,” are as true to-day under the third message as they were in 1844. But, ah, me! in my flesh I have been through a sea of trouble since that time; but now in my old age I cannot and will not boast but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. J. N. Floyd.
