the Heavenly Congress.  And since that proclamation, the habitation of demons on every place of Babylon, on which my message is rejected, is made manifest ... 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 miracles,’ which is reprinted on the 9th and 10th pages of this pamphlet, are testifying, from which quarters of pitfalls and deep holes the demons came who took possesion of the Capitol at the present session....  On this 2nd day of February in my Country Roman Catholic men and women bring each his own candle into the church and burn them” &c.

I quoted these passages, written on the 2d day of Feb., which was Saturday, and given on the same day to the printer; because I had an engagement on the next following day in the country and left Columbus on that Saturday, Feb, 2d 1856.  When I returned on the next following week from the country, I heard that on that same day February 2d, 1856, the House of Representatives finished at length their voting for speaker and that Nathanael Banks was elected Speaker in the House.  There is a spirit language by numbers.  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 Ohio, to make use of it for the conversion of the Congress in Washington; because I saw, whenever I looked the numbers of votes cast to elect the speaker, that members of the parties casting votes were under a strong Papal Imperial Royal delusion.  When I wrote the above quoted passages on the 2nd day of February, 1856, I did not know, that at that same time they finished their voting with Nathanael Banks as speaker in the House.  Nathanael means a “gift of God.”  And the name Banks was prophetical for what followed then in regard to the Banks; because this generation could receive no more suitable gift than Banks are.  There is not only in numbers but also in names and in manifold other correspondences a spirit language which we understand; and in this our mission events connected with our steps testify the condition in which those are, who neglect to make use of our message of Peace.  The Governor and the legislature of Ohio did not care about our urgent appeal made to them in writing and in print, 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-money, which will be eventually made manifest with a terrible crash.
