Accordiug to tlio above calculation
would not any insurance company in
the United Slates be pretty sale in
providing a policy lor a thousand
years on the earth lor a smaller burn
than it lakes to insure the life of one
ol its most healthy hihabitants. Have
not those who are agitated by the
near approach of the great comet,
abundant reason to console themselves
with the assurance that the end is not
yet. The gospel is to he preached as a
testimony to all nations, warn are to
cease to the ends of tlie earth, the
Jews are to he gathered in to the ful
ness ot the Gentiles, and the glory of
the Lord is to till the world as the wa
ters cover the sea—all things are to
precede the liual restitution ol all
tilings. It is obviously our duty then
to employ all our energies aud means
to hasten 011 this bright .lay ol univer

ot indulging in gloomy apprehensions
in regard to the well established laws
and operations ot nature ami provi
dence; so that instead of being tilled
with alarm at the signs in the sun aud
