muri icyo gihe cy’imibereho ye. Yari afite umuryango munini; ariko kubera ko bose
batasesaguraga kandi bagakora cyane byatumye isambu ye ibasha kubatunga ndetse no
kumufasha na we ubwe.
Mu mwaka wa 1833, nyuma y’imyaka ibiri Miller yatangiye kwigisha mu ruhame
ibihamya byerekana ko Kristo ari hafi kugaruka, ndetse n’ibimenyetso biheruka mu
byagaragaye byari byaravuzwe n’Umukiza ko bizerekana kugaruka kwe. Yesu yaravuze ati:
“Inyenyeri zizagwa ziva mu ijuru.” 441 Na Yohana ubwo yerekwaga ari mu nzozi yavugiye
mu Byahishuwe ibimenyetso bigomba kubanziriza umunsi w’Imana ati : “Inyenyeri zo ku
ijuru zigwa hasi, nk’uko umutini, iyo unyeganyejwe n’umuyaga mwinshi, uragarika imbuto
zawo zidahishije.” 442 Ubwo buhanuzi bwaje gusohora mu buryo butangaje ubwo inyenyeri
nyinshi zagwaga kuwa 13 Ugushyingo 1833. Ibyo byabaye ukwigaragaza kw’inyenyeri
zagwaga kutari kwarigeze kubaho. “Icyo gihe ikirere cyose gitwikiriye Leta Zunze Ubumwe
za Amerika cyamaze amasaha menshi cyivumbagatanyije! Ntihari harigeze kubaho ibintu
nk’ibyo mu kirere cy’icyo gihugu kuva cyaturwa n’abantu ba mbere bakigezemo. Itsinda
rimwe ry’abantu ryabirebanye gutangara gukomeye mu gihe irindi tsinda ryabirebanaga
ubwoba bwinshi no kubona ko ari imbuzi.” “Uburemere bw’uko kugwa kw’inyenyeri ndetse
n’uburyo byari byiza ntibizibagirana mu bitekerezo bya benshi. . . Ntabwo imvura yari
yarigeze igwa mu buryo bukomeye ngo irushe uko inyenyeri zamanukaga zigwa ku isi.
Iburasirazuba, iburengerazuba, amajyepfo n’amajyaruguru hose zagwaga mu buryo bumwe.
Mu magambo make, ijuru ryose ryasaga n’iririmo urujya n’uruza. . . Ibyo byabaga, nk’uko
byanditswe mu kinyamakuru cy’umwigisha witwa Silliman, byagaragaye muri Amerika
y’amajyaruguru yose. . . Uhereye saa munani z’ijoro kugeza ku manywa y’ihangu y’undi
munsi, ikirere cyari cyiza cyane nta gacu na gato kaboneka, imuri nyinshi zirabagirana
zahoraga zinyuranamo mu kirere cyose.” 443
“Nta mvugo y’umuntu yashobora kwandika ibihwanye rwose n’ishusho y’ibyabaye; . . .
utarabibonye, ntashobora kwiyumvisha by’ukuri ubwiza bw’ibyabaye. Byasaga naho
inyenyeri zose zo ku ijuru zari zakoraniye hamwe zikegera ubushorishori bwo mu kirere,
maze zikohereza umucyo wazo icyarimwe mu mpande zose; nyamara umubare wazo wasaga
n’utagabanuka na gato: ibihumbi n’ibihumbi by’inyenyeri zindi zakurikiragaho bwangu
nk’aho ziremwe uwo mwanya kubwo ibyo.” 444 “Ntibyashobokaga kubona ishusho
itunganye y’igiti cy’umutini kiragarika imbuto zacyo iyo gihungabanyijwe n’umuyaga
mwinshi yari kurushaho kwerekana iby’icyo gihe.” 445
Mu kinyamakuru cyandikirwaga i New York cyitwaga Journal of Commerce cyo kuwa 14
Ugushyingo 1833, handitswemo ingingo ndende yavugaga kuri ibyo bitangaza byabaye. Iyo
ngingo yarimo amagambo akurikira: “Ndatekereza ko nta mucurabwenge cyangwa undi
munyabwenge wigeze avuga cyangwa ngo yandike ibintu bimeze nk’ibyabaye mu gitondo
cy’ejo hashize. Mu myaka igihumbi na magana inani ishize umuhanuzi yari yarabivuze neza
nk’uko byaje kuba, nitugira umwanya wo kubitekerezaho yuko kugwa kw’inyenyeri
