November 13, 1833, there was the most wonderful display of falling stars ever beheld by men. Again thousands believed that the day of judgment had come. Since that time earthquakes, tempests, tidal waves, pestilence, famine, and destructions by fire and flood, have multiplied. All these, and "distress of nations, with perplexity," declare that the Lord's coming is near.

Den 13. november 1833 sås den forunderligste stjerneregn, som nogensinde har fundet sted. Atter var der tusindvis af mennesker, som troede, at dommedag var kommet. Siden den tid har jordskælv, uvejr, flodbølger, pest, hungersnød, ildebrande og oversvømmelser været i tiltagende. Alt dette i forbindelse med folkenes ængstelse i rådvildhed varsler, at Herrens komme er nær.
