in the Revelation of John , form two remarkable eras in the history of the world , in which the Divine Being- was pleased to interpose by open war for the destruction of idolatry , and for the establishment of a religion
emanating * from himself , not by the instrumentality of Jewish or Christiany but of Heathen princes . And may we not expect , from the signs of the times and the language of prophecy , that at no very distant period , God will
raise up from among the princes of this world , a Michael , who shall effectually make war with , and utterly overthrow , the existing antichristian powers , and introduce and set up his own everlasting kingdom of righteousness and peace ? JOHN MARSOM .

Obituary and Biographical Notices of Individual Members of the Families of How ell and Rogers . Dec . 4 , 1822 . IT may gratify some of the best feelings , and tend to promote some
highly valuable interests , if a few circumstances are recorded in the pages of the Monthly Repository , concerning the family from which the late Rev JVilluim ' I / owell * descended , and another to which , by affinity and worth , he was intimately allied . His father bore the same name , and
filled the same office . This gentleman was more than twelve years co-pastor with the Rev . Samuel Clarh , -fin the congregation of the Old Meeting-House at Birmingham ; in which character he was called to the painful task of delivering the address at the funeral of his colleague ; a
