HARK! hark to the music of yon ringing bell,
As peal upon peal of pride it doth tell.
Full many a dollar has placed it on high,
To drown with its clamor the poor Christian's sigh.
Far off on the breeze, its metallic tone
Is wafted triumphant o'er poverty's groan;
And most are delighted to hear—O for shame!—
What a glorious bell they can boast in their fane.
The sick man is dying on yon garret floor;
And orphans are begging beside of thy door;
The widow is wiping the tear from her cheek,
As she thinks what she's earned for her babes thro' the week.
But churchmen don't heed it, the proud and the gay,
As they dress for inspection and hasten away;
The feathers are flying, and flounces do wave,
As the ladies go swinging themselves through the nave.
There sits an old Deacon, as sober as Time,
Not thinking his grinding the poor is a crime;
And there, the gay singers with chanting await
The rising of Parson, all drest up in state.
And hark! how the organ rolls deafening praise,
In full diapason, on this blest of days:
While the poor seek the gallery or uncushioned seat
'Way back in some corner, or at others' feet.
And now up arises the preacher in form,
And reads a few stanzas—all powdered and shorn;
And when the choir rings it admirably o'er,
He riseth and prayeth, in form, as before.
The heavens above him—just under the roof,
Return him an answer, in echoes of proof
That his prayer is accepted: and the people are pleased,
'Tis all he expected, and hence he is eased.
Great God! is this worship? Can this be a place
Where Jesus conferreth his blood purchased grace!
Can he, who did wander, without house or home,
Bless such an assemblage, beneath such a dome!—
While widows are weeping, and orphan's seek bread,
And His poor disciples lie dying and dead,
With none to care for them or give them relief
Among the professors of pop'lar belief?
Stop! stop, you, friend sexton! stay ringing that bell!
It seems but the music that leadeth to hell;
It calls for the gay, in gay tones, to come in
And learn the religion that cloaks over sin.
O stay, for God's sake! pray ring it no more!
Tear down that high steeple, and close up that door;
Burn all the church trappings, and never again
Call out an assemblage of such Christian men.
The ground underneath thee is trembling now,
The curse upon Bab'lon will soon lay her low;
Fly! fly! ere the day of God's vengeance is come,
And you, like a Judas, sink down to your home.
[C. T. Catlin.
LINES

Occasioned by the death of L. V. Masten.
By A. R. Smith.
With the impress of death on his brow, he is sleeping,
And folded his hands o'er a heart that is still;
Unheeded the grief of the sad mourners, weeping,
No longer their accents his bosom can thrill.
Now deeply we feel that our circle is broken;
No more our lone dwelling shall echo his tread;
His last tear is shed, and the last farewell spoken,
And oft shall we miss him who sleeps with the dead.
O blessed the hope of the Christian to cheer him,
When dim grew his eye, and fast fading his bloom;
In the hour of affliction the Saviour was near him,
The rock of his strength, and his light to the tomb.
No more will he wake from his calm, peaceful slumber,
To the anguish of pain, or the blighting of care;
No more will he join in the songs of our number,
Or mingle his voice at the altar of prayer.
But the once cherished form which the cold turf encloses,
We would not recall, though we cannot forget;
For soft is the bed where he sweetly reposes,
While life's thorny path is with trials beset.
Then mourn not the loss of our dear, absent brother,
Bright angels shall watch o'er the dust where he's laid
To rest by the side of his fondly-loved mother,
Who for his salvation so fervently prayed.
In glory, immortal, O soon shall we meet thee,
Where sickness and sorrow and partings are o'er;
With all the redeemed then with joy shall we greet thee,
With the King in his beauty to reign evermore!

From Bro. Poole.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The following remarks in relation to the cause in Lincklaen, I submit to your judgment. Publish them accompanied with any remarks of your own, in whole or in part, or burn them, as you shall deem most conclusive to the interests of the cause of truth.
It is nearly three years since our attention was aroused by the proclamation of the third angel's message. The doctrine of the Sanctuary shed a clear light upon the past; while the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and the fearful denunciations of the angel against all who should receive the mark, spread out the field of Christian duty broad before us. For a time we rejoiced in the light; and although there were some things we could not understand, yet we waited in patience, and the spirit of teachableness for the fulfillment of the promise—"What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." The Sabbath was a delight, and we truly hungered and thirsted for its weekly return. How cheering, how inspiring, to mingle hearts and voices on the day that JEHOVAH had appropriated to his own especial service, undisturbed by the vexing cares of a busy life. It was truly manna in the wilderness, and as the Psalmist tells us, "angels' food."
But the blessing was too rich to last. The evil eye of the tempter was upon us; and before we were aware, the leaven of jealousy had begun its work, and a spirit of oppression and fault-finding had brought forth its bitter fruits. We were thrown into heavy trial; and for a year past it has been manifest that there have been two spirits among us. That spirit of mutual confidence and hearty co-operation essential to progress, has been wanting, and we have been sliding backward and sinking under discouragements.
We were divided in opinion with reference to some transactions among us; some approving, and others feeling that they could not be justified, by the word or Spirit of God, or by the example of the Man of sorrows. Among the latter I class myself. We were told that a great amount of labor had been bestowed upon us; but that we had not brought forth corresponding fruits—that the standard was trailing in the dust, when we ought to have made high attainments in the spirit of the truth.
We had meeting after meeting, to search out the cause of our low estate, which were said to result in the removal of the stumbling blocks; but when the excitement of the occasion had passed, we found ourselves only the lower. Some of us began to pray that we might be left to "exhort one another;" and when it was intimated that it would be a long time before we should have preaching again, "we thanked God and took courage." And if I have any discernment in spiritual things, the Lord was pleased and manifested his approval by his presence and blessing in our gatherings. We felt strongly encouraged that he was about to revive his work among us; and when it was suggested that we have a conference, and that we could not prosper while there were difficulties unsettled, we replied: We thought it better to wait awhile, and try a new way to remove difficulties; we had tried the old one too long already. If we could not settle difficulties ourselves, others could not do it for us so as to be satisfactory.
So far as I am aware, there have been no feelings of personal alienation among those who have continued to meet together, but a mutual distrust of the other's "way" of promoting the cause; a distrust honestly entertained, yet so strong as to constitute a hindrance to our prayers. On the one hand it was believed that the course pursued among us was wrong—prompted by a wrong spirit, and carried out by wrong measures; and that the door of usefulness was thereby effectually closed against us. On the other, the course was justified; and they feared that by deviating from it, we should become corrupted and lose our souls.
Under these circumstances we were (some of us at least) fully persuaded that our only ground of hope was, to "cease from man whose breath was in his nostrils," and directly "seek the Lord till he rain righteousness upon" us; and I think it was in carrying out this purpose that the Lord blessed us with the encouraging indications to which I have alluded. I was much blessed; and at times had such a sense of the faithfulness of God, in his providential care over his creatures, that I could say in the fullness of my heart, While Jehovah reigns and retains his own right arm, I will never give it up. I believed he would work deliverance for us; and as to the how I was not careful. Still I was seeking for it by perseverance in the way we were pursuing; and my hope with reference to the contemplated meeting was, that the time might be occupied in lectures upon present truth, and trials not be mentioned.
But it was not God's way. At the first meeting the subject was alluded to, and the different views brought out. It was made a subject of prayer, that the Lord would work for us, and show up the right and the wrong, and lay the burden where it belonged. And prayer was not in vain. Although his way is in the darkness, yet his footsteps were manifest; and I think not a doubt remained on the mind of any one, that the Lord was especially with us, and in his own way bringing the true cause of our trials to the light.
In reference to the Conference I will simply say that it reversed the decisions of former meetings, in relation to the cause of our difficulties; lifted off the heavy burdens that some had long borne; rebuked in strong terms the course that had been pursued among us, and denied having any fellowship with it; gave us a true view of the character and spirit of the third angel's message, and what should be the character of those who profess it; laid out before us our appropriate work and what God will require of us; in a measure removed the prejudices existing against the present truth, and opened a way of access to the minds of some around us; and in short, has introduced quite a change of views and practice among us, for which we render praise and thanksgiving to God.
Dear Brother, I regard the visit of yourself and companion to this place as a special providence of God. My heart is bound with you by ten-fold ties, and my prayers shall follow you as you go from place to place to prepare the way of the Lord, and take up the stumbling blocks out of the way of the people. May the Lord give you strength equal to your day, give you access to the hearts of the people, keep you in the vale of humility; and when the King comes, give you a crown of righteousness that shall not fade away.
Yours for that liberty where the Spirit of the Lord is.

OBITUARY.
DIED of Consumption, in this city, March 1st, 1854, Bro. L. V. Masten, aged about 25 years.
His last sickness was marked with entire resignation to the will of God. The faith and hope of the gospel sustained him in the last trying moments of life; and he fell asleep in Jesus in the most peaceful manner, leaving a pleasant smile upon his countenance.
JOSEPH BATES

From Bro. Bates.
DEAR BRO. WHITE:—I have just returned here from Elizabeth, on my way to the Conference at Green Vale, to commence to-morrow.
After giving two lectures in explanation of the Chart and the Sanctuary, in Elizabeth, we found the lecture-room locked up on Sunday morning. When the question was asked, why the house was shut against our meeting, they answered that our preaching was error, that we did not preach like Mrs. Lambert [formerly Mrs. Chapman.] Her theme is life and death, and the Age to come. She came to hear, and attempted to raise some objections; but finally concluded by making an appointment to meet the people next Sunday, the 5th inst., to give them the Bible view of the Sanctuary, Babylon, &c., &c.
The Presbyterians opened their meeting-house for us, so our meetings continued on through Sunday evening, and a number confessed the truth, and some others, as we were afterwards told, were deeply convicted and admitted that the fourth commandment was binding. Last evening and the evening before, two new places were opened where the people received the message.
Since I wrote last I have spent about two weeks in Crane Grove and Adaline, where some six professed ministers have arrayed themselves against the truth at our several meetings; four of them laboring for days to put it down with their no-commandment and no-Sabbath arguments, &c. Notwithstanding all their opposition, the Lord wrought for Israel, and many souls got their eyes open to see the position their teachers occupied, and the difference between truth and error. It has also caused the sound of the last message of mercy to spread more extensively throughout this region of country, and thus opening a wide field for the united labors of God's messengers, some of whom I expect here this week, and when the Conferences close they will be ready to attend to the "Macedonian Cry," in this part of the valley of the Mississippi.

FOREIGN NEWS.
By Editor
The Collins steamship Atlantic brings advices to the 22d ult.
THE TURKISH WAR
In compliance with orders from the French and English Governments, the larger part of the allied fleets will remain for the present in the Bosphorus. Six steamers will be detached to convey Turkish vessels, when necessary, and four steamers will be kept in constant observation. No further operations had taken place on the Danube, but the Russian attack on Kalafat was still daily expected. The fort is now garrisoned by 30,000 troops. Omer Pasha's health is re-established. He had recently hung two Greek spies. The Turkish army generally was in good health and spirits, with an abundance of food. The Wallachian peasantry had become so hostile, that the Russian soldiers are forbidden to go more than a mile from the camp. Gen. Anrep, who commanded the Russians at Tshetate, is disgraced, and sent to the Caucasus. The young Prince of Moldavia is distinguishing himself in the Turkish service, by his military prowess and bravery. A British steamer, the Haidee, with some Turkish troops on board, went ashore near Sevastopol, and has been seized by the Russians. Six thousand men and twenty-four ships left Constantinople on the 7th February, under an escort of eleven British war-steamers. It was reported that when the French and English troops should arrive in Turkey a measure will be proposed by the Sultan to the Divan to give the Christians and Moslems equal civil rights. The rumor is however doubtful.
GREAT BRITAIN.
England is at length in a state of war. Troops are being embarked at several ports, and on all hands there is apparent the greatest activity in preparations for the approaching struggle. The British contingent of land forces for the aid of Turkey has been fixed at twenty thousand men, in consequence of the refusal of Lord Raglan to assume the command of any inferior force. The Queen's Guards, a magnificent regiment of cavalry, which the Emperor Nicholas, when he was in London, said were the finest men and horses he had ever seen, have given and received their farewell banquets, and were ordered to embark from Southampton on the 22d February. Six other regiments of cavalry had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark at short notice.
GREECE.
The Greek insurrection is formidable. 6,000 insurgents in arms in Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia. Recruits are leaving Athens. The Greek Government either cannot or will not check them.
The steamship Asia from Liverpool arrived at Halifax last night, (March 9,) bringing three days later intelligence than what brought by the Atlantic. The news is not very important, although interesting. It was rumored that France and England had issued a manifesto, having set the force of a formal declaration of war, and that England had sent a final announcement to the Czar, naming a definite time in which he must evacuate the Principalities. The accounts from the Danube represent both parties as preparing for a great battle, and the allied fleets remained on the Bosphorus.
The following from the correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune will give our readers a general idea of the condition of Europe.
AFFAIRS ON THE CONTINENT.
LONDON, Tuesday, Feb. 21, 1854.
We are reaching the end of the second act of the great Oriental drama. In the first we saw the Montenegrins defeated by Omer Pasha, and Prince Menchikoff bullying the Sultan at Constantinople in order to restore the Russian prestige; next we witnessed the occupation of the Principalities, and the negotiations transferred to Vienna, closing dramatically with the visit of the Czar to the camp of Olmutz, with the famous Vienna note, the refusal of the Porte to accept it, the Nesselrode commentary upon it, and with the Turkish declaration of war. The second act began with the battle of Oltenitza and the Turkish successes in Asia, followed by diplomatic intrigues, schemes and counter-schemes, until the destruction of the Turkish squadron at Sinope roused the indignation of England and France, and the accusing voice of the people broke through the spider's web of diplomacy. Explanations were demanded and given, and found unsatisfactory; diplomatic intercourse, between England and France on one side and Russia on the other, was broken off, and the efforts of both the parties were now directed to Vienna and Berlin, in order to enlist Austria and Prussia in the coming struggle; a few days more, and the declaration of war between the Western Powers and the Czar will close the second act. The Czar has rejected the last offer of an arrangement contained in Napoleon's famous letter; Lord John Russell has made a warlike speech; troops are embarked, and a royal proclamation has prohibited the exportation of arms, ammunition, and warlike stores.
THE WAR AT LAST.—The refusal of the Czar to listen to the suggestions of Louis Napoleon's letter seems to knock away the last prop for any hope of peace to rest on. Though neither of the parties has yet issued a formal declaration, the war at last has come. In the excitement of it, let us hope that the study of its history and philosophy may not be neglected. After a general peace of thirty-eight years, here is a war that promises to be more wasteful of life and property than any preceding war, because Europe is more populous and richer than at the outbreak of any preceding war. During these thirty-eight years, Europe has been governed by kings and diplomatists and standing armies, by the kind of men said to be born to govern the people, who are said to be not fit to govern themselves. It is not the people who have got up this war; indeed, a fear on the part of the kings that the people might take the occasion to claim some of their rights, has alone prevented its breaking out long ago.
And so at last we are on the very outer brink of a grand war—a war upon the commerce of all Europe, upon the life of the two millions of men who within a twelve-month will be murdering and preparing to murder each other, upon the welfare of their families, upon the property of every tax-payer in Europe, upon the back and stomach of every laboring man and every laboring man's wife and children, upon all material interests and upon morality. Its harsh note of preparation rings across one-half of the world, from Teheran to Dublin, from the valley of the Upper Nile to the mountains of Scandinavia. Already nearly twenty thousand men have died in battle. We need not say, what every one knows, that the deaths in battle are but the smallest part of the loss of life which an army suffers in a campaign; especially a Russian army, whose commissariat and medical staff are notoriously ill-provided and inefficient. We need not add that the existing embarrassments of trade and commerce, are already carrying suffering on its inevitable downward course to the laboring productive masses; nor speak of the peasants of Wallachia, who are first robbed of their grain and cattle, and then shot if they refuse to do the forced labors imposed upon them by their robbers. All this is only variations on the old air of God save the King and Devil take the People, which is always struck up when there is question of maintaining the 'balance' of power—not the balance of the scales of justice—in Europe.

SPIRITUALISM.
By Editor
"They are the spirits of devils working miracles." Rev. xvi, 14.
"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit," &c. Chap. xviii, 2.
"Whose [Christ's] coming is after [immediately following] the working of satan with all power, and signs and lying wonders." 2 Thess. ii, 9.
"And shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt. xxiv, 24.
As Spiritualism constitutes a most startling sign that "that great day of God Almighty" hasteth greatly, we design giving in each number of the REVIEW a few brief statements relative to its progress, and the signs and wonders reported to be accomplished by spirit influence. The following statements are from the Spiritual Telegraph.
Modern Miracles.
By Editor
"The following remarkable facts have lately occurred in the experience, and through the agency, of Mrs. French, of Pittsburg, Pa., who personally related them at a recent conference at this office, and has since repeated them, with additional particulars, to the writer. Being recently in the city of Washington, she was led to the house of Mr. Darby, the geographer, an elderly gentleman nearly seventy-nine years of age. Mr. D. had for some time been suffering from a paralysis of the left arm, which he was unable to move without taking hold of it with the right hand and applying to it a mechanical force. His hearing, also, was very imperfect. By means of a medicinal preparation which Mrs. French had made under spiritual direction, together with passes which she was impressed to make over the head and arm of the sufferer, the latter was in a few minutes so far relieved, that he moved his arm freely in all positions, clapped his hands at the back of his head, etc., without any impediment or difficulty. At the same time the old gentleman's hearing was very greatly improved; and the relief of his difficulties continued permanent up to the last accounts that Mrs. F. heard from him, which was some two or three weeks after these occurrences took place.
"Mrs. French subsequently went to Baltimore, where she stopped at the house of Mr. Laning. While there, Mr. L. was impressed to send for two young girls, one of whom, about nine years old, was entirely deaf and dumb, and the other, about seventeen years of age, could only hear and speak very imperfectly. Mrs. F. manipulated the one who was entirely deaf and dumb for thirty-two minutes, at the same time bathing her about the head and ears with the spiritually prepared medicine, which she had in her possession. At the end of that time Mrs. F. was spiritually impressed that the girl could hear. Standing, therefore, behind her, so that the girl could not see the motion of her lips, she spoke a little above her ordinary tone of voice, when the girl winced, as though the sound was too loud for her. Moderating her tone of voice, Mrs. F. told her to say, 'Pa,' 'Ma,' 'Sister,' 'Josephine,' and several other words, all of which the girl distinctly repeated as by imitation as they were spoken by the medium.
"While there, a girl was also brought to Mrs. French affected with St. Vitus' dance, and so badly that it took two persons to steady her as she was brought into the room. Mrs. F., while under spiritual influence, made passes over her for about fifteen minutes, when the girl walked the length of two parlors without any observable defect in her motion; and afterward she walked home without any difficulty, arm in arm with the lady who had accompanied her to the place.
"A Mr. Cole, also of Baltimore, was confined and apparently far gone with Consumption and other ailments. He subjected himself to spirit treatment through Mrs. French, and was immediately relieved from cough and other symptoms which prevented rest; and the next night he took a long walk through a storm of snow and sleet to a spiritual circle, where he remained to a late hour in a damp room, and then walked home again; and so far from feeling any ill consequences of this exposure on the next day, his health was, if any thing, still further improved."
"SPIRITS AT THE CAPITOL.—It may be recollected by those who attended the Tuesday evening Conference at Dodworth's Hall, some two or three weeks ago, that a Spirit, speaking through the medium of a young lady, declared that his voice should be heard in the Capitol on the next day. We have since learned that on the day following that evening, a medium was actually entranced, and spoke in a committee room to some members of Congress who had assembled to deliberate on a question submitted to their consideration. We mention this fact as a coincidence, without attaching any undue weight to it."
"SPIRITUALISM.—We have watched the progress of the new developments in what is called Spiritualism, with interest. Advocates and believers of this new 'dispensation' are now to be found in every State, town, and village of importance of the United States; while in Great Britain, France and Germany, books are written, newspapers are printed, and sermons are preached devoted to this subject.
Across the water, the better classes, intelligent and scientific members of society, are principally interested. Unfortunately for the 'cause' in this country, the uneducated and simple-minded have generally been the first to announce a belief in the rappings, and attempt to enlighten the world! Such trash as we have had purporting to come from the abode of lovely and perfected Spirits! Such fantastic performances, said to be the work of souls of the great departed, such as Ben. Franklin, Sir Isaac Newton and Plato!
Justice to the Spiritualists, however, compels us to say that the 'rappings' and their advocates appear to be giving place to higher manifestations, to which philosophic minds give countenance and aid. A strong and well-organized work of reform is the result. In Boston a regular course of Sabbath evening lectures is being delivered at the Melodeon, by such men as Hon. Warren Chase, Mr. A. E. Newton, Judge Edmonds, Dr. J. H. Robinson, and Rev. T. L. Harris. This canker of heresy in the very heart of New England orthodoxy is exciting attention; but what will be the end of it all, it is impossible to say.—Boston True Flag."
