Regret that, as in most things, I should have listened more attentively to my lessons at school, in this case German. Consequently 1 Corinthians 14:27 (b) applies in my instance. I don't expect Bruce to translate as I hope he is too busy working on his book. But maybe German Girl could help?

I believe I made a rough translation of a nearly identical notice a few months back.

Found it; Here's my contribution from May 28, which Reader hpg kindly confirmed and Bruce improved:

Convert! The world's end has come. The Millerites have pitched a big tent in Dr. Johnson's Park, and Messrs George Storrs, Chas. Fitch and others say in a handbill that at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and for fifteen days every morning at 10 o'clock and every afternoon at 3 o'clock, public warnings will be given, in which they will irrefutably prove from Scripture and history that the end of the world will take place this year. Books, pamphlets and charts, said the ad, will be distributed free of charge to instruct the audience in the right way.

It is to be hoped that these deluded people, of whom the greatest part are sincere in their faith, will be treated with forbearance and will not be disturbed or ridiculed in any way - freedom of press and freedom of speech are the safe anchor of our free institutions and should be respected by everyone.
