There are different sects of the Adventist annihilators; but that same sect, with whom I met in Providence, have appointed for November, 1858, a Convention in Concord N.H.  The appointment contained a general invitation, without confinement to their sect, and I thought that there might be an opportunity for me to find some investigating minds who would listen to our message of Peace.  But when I commenced to speak in their Convention, and their Popes saw that there was danger for their spirit annihilation, they applied to the audience with their complaint, that they found in Providence, that I did not believe in Christ’s coming on the clouds and annihilation of the wicked and am rather a kind of a spiritualist.  Therefore if I would remain I had to be silent, or I had to leave the Hall.  I replied, that in their circular was no confinement to their sect, but their invitation contained exactly the opportunity for the proclamation of our message.  But the possessed Popes by spirits of delusion and destruction became fierce and enraged, and I found best to leave them in their hall.  My leader showed me that I should return towards Boston.  At my return I was trying spirits on several places.  It is to be understood that volumes could be written, 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 France, and which is to be printed in this treatise, that it might reach monarchs and their agents in this book, if it should not have reached them in hand-writing.  But the events which occupy the largest portion of the treatise which would have appeared here, if the celebration of the 4th of July had not moved me to write and publish this in lieu of the other, may be expressed in this epitome in the following sentences:
