4. Universalists and their ministers will have an awful death to die. It is a great thing to die with a conscience at peace; with reason, truth, and God, cheering, and supporting, and blessing the soul in its departing moments. But O, my God! what a death awaits those who have embraced and preached radical error! What anguish of spirit will fill their guilty bosoms, as they are awakened and overwhelmed by the summons of death! Conscience will then begin to stir within them, and harrow up their souls with the iron tooth of remorse.

"The mind that broods o'er sinful deeds,

Is like a scorpion girt by fire;

In circles narrowing as it glows,

The flames around the captive close,

Till inly parched by thousand throes,
And maddening in his ire.

So does the guilty soul expire,
Alike to scorpion girt by fire;

So writhes the mind remorse hath riven,
Unfit for earth, undoomed to heaven:
Darkness above, despair beneath;

Around it, flame; within-'tis death."

The prayer of the author is, that every Universalist who reads these pages may become convinced of his error, and not only convinced, but have courage to renounce his errors, so that such a death may not overtake him. Now is the time, dying reader, to renounce this fatal system. Put it not off till to-morrow. Before to-morrow comes, you may be suddenly called away and put in your sepulchre! O, what a melancholy sepulchre that

is, where rests the dust of one who died a Universalist! The marble may be white and beautiful, but where, where is the soul! O let not your sepulchre be that of a Universalist. Face now your guilty associates, and tear yourself away from them, and flee from wrath to come. It will require a great effort to do it, but nothing, nothing in comparison with the effort it will require to contend with the fires and thunders of a lost eternity.

EXPLANATION OF THE FOREGOING PLATE.

The whole design of the engraving is, to combine, in one view, the scenes of the resurrection morn and the judgment day.

1. The most prominent figure is the Son of God, seated upon the "great white throne," and holding in his hand "the book of life."

2. On his right and left are the recording angels. 3. Still further, on either hand, are seated the twelve apostles.

4. On the right and left of these are seen two angels, displaying to the righteous and the wicked their respective destinies.

5. Above and round about the throne, the angels, in their glory, are assembled on the left, pouring out the vials of wrath for the wicked: and on the right, prepared with the entertainments of the marriage supper of the Lamb.

6. In the fore ground, is seen the angel of the resurrection morn, blowing his trumpet, and summoning the dead of sea and land to the judgment.

7. On his right is seen an angel of mercy, putting up his sword into its scabbard, indicating that there is no necessity for him to draw it upon the righteous.

8. On his left is seen the angel of justice, drawing her sword, to plunge it into the wicked.
