"Lo Here!"

By R. F. O.

Two men lately passed through Mill Grove from the West, and held an evening meeting at the school-house. One of them preached, as I am informed, on the subject of the return of Israel to the land of Palestine, saying,

that the time is come for the restoration. They claimed, as I learned, that they were sent out by one who had the spirit of prophecy, and had an understanding of the Scriptures by the Spirit. I give a copy of the bills by which they advertised their meetings:

The Kingdom Restored to Israel! Ephraim the First Born!

PREACHING!

By a Presbyter of “Jehovah’s Presbytery of Zion.” On the—day of—at—at—o’clock.

Subject—1. The literal Restoration of the House of Israel to their own lands and former blessings. 2. The literal Regeneration of the Ancient Israelites in the Caucasian race, to establish the Kingdom of God, preparatory for the ushering in of the Millennium of Peace.

Proof.—The Bible, Reason and Analogy. "Patriot" Pr. Noblesville, Ind.

The zeal of these men is manifest in the fact that they were on a pilgrimage, on foot, from Illinois to Connecticut. I heard that they said that the seventh day is the true Sabbath, though they did not keep it. R. F. O.
