la otio o t m y later Interviews with lira. Eddy, after an hour’s effort or more to in- dace me to accept home of her newly iidfold­ed absurdities and tyrannies, she suddenly and In ner blandest «tylo extended to me her hand, having drawn her chair very near to mine, and sold: “ Pledgem e that you will never go against ChristianScience. I took her band, and after n moment's deliberation I slowly and gravely reepondi ‘" I promise you I will

name will loDg live on the historic page where are recorded the forma of abnormal de­velopment«; and tru th must strip her of her disguises, and boneet persons who have tem­porarily corns under her monrtrotin shadow will Justly ptrivo to avoid being confounded with her In spirit or pqreuit or sentiment; and they will shake off the dnst of their feet where they have accidentally stepped with her.

What I have said or will »ay, however, she will contradict wherever 1 have not the best I* gal evidence; and as their only weapon she and hers will n tter the moat abominable slanders to offset the tro th ottered against them; and they will do It with infinite vigor on th e ‘principle that a corresponding pro- portion will stick. The knowledge of this nas kept many silent, as they have confessed to me. This n iter and .abandoned falsity, this absolute freedom, from all sense of obllgallon on the score of veracity, is nourished and logically supported by their theory, of which 1 shall give abundant, proof before Ihave wot through with my experience In the Eddy camp.

Nothing Is more conspicuous in the mela physics of the dark school In queatioq, than Ita dogma of the nothlngnew of \s*bee, of matter, error, evil. At first sight this seems harmless moonshine; or It may be construed oa a paradoxical yet noble and strik ing meth­od of belittling an d iM rad lag matter, error afid evil, In contr&wwlth Spirit, Truth and Oood, It Is the la tter way In which I was disposed to Interpret each phraseology. Thus Interpreted, the thought le one which!* quite fam iliar to the Christian Church from th e earliest time*. Kvll. they said. la mere ly th a privation of good, and in tha t sense It la a mere nothing. But In point of fact, they never designed to deny the existence of evil agency, influence and results. They affirm­ed this very repetltionaly In the strongest terms; and this affirmation was one of the chief corner-atonea of their doctrines. Their theology was -a theory of redemption from evil action, tendency and effects, and from the power and Influence of a great’evll spirit, the devil, and Innumerable lesser spirits of like character associated with him, working for man’s eternal destruction. Hence when they said evil was nothTog, they meant It

‘ly Pickwickian m fau­lt Is not an essential

element of eternal reatlly^gr eternal purpose, and 1» thus without any necessary founda­tion In the essential nature of th ings. I was indisposed to qnarrel over words, and if this was the Eddy meaning, I was w illing to hear and adopt the phrase. Bat what was the de­signed interpretation woe hard to determine; for there was for a long tim e such a kindly yet equivocal coincidence with me in any

[eetfoo I mode, that I was long justified

only in a theologically Pickwlei log, to the effect that

Slowly in d painfully 1 was made aware that It was no exalted and refined eJgoiQ canes which they attached to anyrof their terms and phrases, and that these In ques­tion they endeavored to understand In the grossest and most literal way,and this mean­ing, If i t is a meaning, came to be nrged on me very plainly, the literal nothingness of evil. %

has a ll bet Ilfs acted In accordance with these Immoral implications. When last Jen- nary I received a letter from the church clerk, demanding that I should no longer preach a t Lawrence and that I become more conformed to Mrs. Eddy's views. I read the le tter la the pnlplt on the following Sunday and made some comments thereon, both In Boston la the afternoon, and In lAwrenca in the evening.

copy of It was then read, and all pronounced It to be word for word what 1 bad myself read to them. 1 than retorted the charge on Mrs. Eddy. A committee was called for, to mest Mr*: Eddy to decide the p a tte r . 1 said it would be foollah and useless, and tha t Mrs. Eddy w oakT ne»rm eet me In the presence of w lta u M s r 'i was accused of being afraid to meat tha t lady. I therefore consented to be one of a committee for the purpose above nveojloned, and the following u Ite report:

BXPOHT Of THZ LA WHENCE CHCÙCH \ COMMITTEE. \

. l o w committee met on Monday evening, the M tb of January, and organised w ith the pasto r Rev. W o. I. GUI, aa chairman, and Bro. Edwin E. Carr was made secretary. I t

■ - T- the committee In pur-____ ________ reived upon It by thechurch, should go fo * “ and any committee e

should not be put Into writing. Then a mode of procedure was adopted, that the chairman should conduct the buslnew, and that their answer should come through him, In the presence of all. Various question# were then resolved on to bo presented to Mrs. Eddy, which are as follows:

Bro. Albert Lang reported that Mr. Tronp had declared to him tha t all tha t was «aid about Mr. Gill leaving Lawrence chnreh was only »Seed upon because It gave them a legal hold upon him to get blUAsway, because of bla failure to meet Mrs. E'ffiy's requirements and that she loved the Free Church of Law­rence. and wishes It «ncceH. If this is true we need an answer tp the following ques­tions:

1. How. then, could the refusal to leave Lawrence be a legal point against him if he had not been required from tha first to aban­don Lawrence? Was this from love to Law­rence?

2. ■ The le tter from the church to Mr. Gill eaye expreM ly-that from the first Mr. Gill was required to abandon Lawrence. Is this statem ent true or fates? If false, it end« all confidence and fellowship.

3. If Mrs. Eddy had said to Mr. Lang shelores this church, how can she reconcile this with the statem ent tha t M it was a «In to be­long to It?" Mrs. Jonea affirms tha t Mrs. Eddy said this to her and ehe is as good a witness as any one ran be, speaking as she does against her wishes. ,

4. uoee «ho, Mrs, Eddy, claim that “ Sci­ence and Health ” [her text book} le Infal­libly correct?.

6. Does ..Mrs. Eddy wish or require her students to accept her oa on infallible teach-

h. Did ebe ever treat persons In private other than for their Immediate good?

7. Will Mrs. Eddy let ns see and examine all the letters of Mr. GUI to her and the Church?

8 . Does Mrs. Eddy claim that "Science and Health * Is without human ta in t?v Wo then adjourned. Mr. Glli next day at SM&p . k .. In the presence of a witness pro »riled a letter to n-pereon lit waiting at &7i Columbna Ave» the residence of Mrs. Eddy, Informing her of onr proceeding and request­ing her to appoint a dsy and hoar, when she coaid meet oar committee.

On Friday a t one o'clock p. M-, Mr. GUI re­ceived a note from Brother Edwin T. Carr, Informing him that Mrs. Eddy bad appoint­ed a meeting for that evening. He tele­graphed from Boston to Lawrence immedi­ately to have the committee come on. and that he wonld meet them a t the depot, which was done. This was at 0:45 p. H. Mr. Al­bert Lang then presented him a ith a letter, which was sent to said Lang a t Lawreoep and requested Mr. Glli to read it. which he did, and which he subsequently snrreudereu to him. This letter affirmed bla dismissal from the assistant pastorate of the Chnreh of Christ (Scientist). Boston, and that as said. Church had no further connection with Mr. IJill. It refused to have any conference with him; for other« there wad an invitation to meet a committee of the Church a t No. 19 Berwick Park, Bouton. This was astounding news to a lt of the committee except Mr. Lang. Mr. Gill there and then p r tested against, proceeding any further; the majority of the committee were of that mind, but as there were other persons present by Invitation of Mr. Lang, who wanted to loox inside ■a far aa they coaid and were determined to go for­ward, to avoid false imputation, the commit­tee yielded and went to the place designated. In answer to inquiries made by our chair­man, we were Informed that Mu. Eddy was not there, would not be there, tha t the com­mittee conld not see her tb#?e or anywhere else. Onr chairman then «aid, “Onr business aa a committee 1« with Mrs. Eddy as the sole, the principal and Indispensable party con­cerned In the question dlipoted; It wae be­tween her and him, and others were only spectators and supporters.” He then protest­ed against any b tu lne« or action being done or taken without the presence of Mrs.- Eddy, and called upon the committee la aeeordanoe with Its Instructions and object, to withdraw and find and confer with Mrs. Eddy If poa»l- bte.

We were nrged to remain and listen to what they had to say against Mr. Gill. Agaldst this, Mr. Gill protested that It was unparliamentary, and* that wa conld not do It m a committee; but we woald stay almplj aa friends and brethren, and listen to and oonelder any matter# that m ight be brought forward. We then eat down. Mr. Gill took off hi* overcoat, and loo r hi#' note book out of bis pocket, and proceeded to Helen to cer­tain statements which wetexnecrtod the ehalr- man of tbelr meeting, and t i e Clark of their chnreh, C. A.B.Troup. to make to oe. He be­gan by quoting a passage' of Scripture and than proceeded to speak of Mr. Gill aa dis­missed from bla late office la tbelr Church. Here be was taken op by Thomas Andrews, and lalei' by Mr. Dodge, who was absent when the point first arose, with the question

Mr. Glli was dismissed, and referred r of Mr. Troup to Mr. Lang, read evening,dn which hi* dismissal

___i of, on whleb Mr. Troop wa*to confess that the word was ineor- I Mr. Gill freely resigned of hi# own He #ald to st Mr. Gill has -mrgaeS

' ave triad to show ulm Lawrence.

Oif* when we havew « hi# dSU

S SGUI admite that alway.

Here Home one of hi# party made a signal, and he went and bod a whispered consults tlon for t moment, and then returned to his place and oaid, ''We have concluded not to proceed any farther In this b u sln m white Mr. Gill le p re » n tto talk us down; we insist tha t he withdraw." Now Mr. Gill a t this time and everybody e l» were entirely silent and listening with perfect decorum to Mr. Troop'd speech, and he was talked or whis­pered down only by bis own party. Mr. Gill and the majority of the committee here pro­tested against such cowardly, unjust, clan- destiue and ex p a r te proceeding; he declared that Home of hfn enemies had boasted that he was afraid to meet Mrs. Eddy and her friends; tha t he and the committee had come here forthe parpo» of meeting faca to face any ac- c au tio n that they conld possibly- make, and insisted on • the right, oniverssfly acknowl-edged, tha t a man ehould.be allowed to see his accuser« and defend himself. Seeing some low-voiced conversation, and thinking tha t he bod a right to bear anything Mia tha t was said there, he attempted to walk across the room to the company thus talking, and was forcibly stopped by Mr. C. A. B. Troop. A lady, a member of the committee, M in Emma Carr, was stopped with likephysic*! force and violence, and told to tu v e the house, because she said a word according to her judgment. The chairman then said, "I will now withdraw and call the commit­tee away noder proteat against the utterly disorderly procedure of all this bon» this evening " The committee then went straight to the house of Mrs. Eddy, and through the maid-servant informed her of our presence and object, namely, to confer with her In ac­cordance with the letter which hod been sent to her. We were Informed tbaCsbe conld not-viH' XJH. J .

The committee then retired and w est to the residence of Wm. I.GU1, No. 80 West Rut­land Sq„ and In regular form as a commit­tee, considered the ellusilon, and Mr. Gill pr » a nted aoma evidence'for hla own vindi­cation. and In proof of the unreliability of Mra. Eddy. The committee then appointed the chairman. M l» Carr, and Mr. Wheelock, a sub-committee, to draw up a report for the committee, which when amended and adopt­ed by them, should be presented to the church.

Let It be added, that oar chairman Invited Mr- J . C. Kellaey os a stenographer, not a reporter for the preee, but a clerk of Mr. Dodge, to report proceedings and sayings so“ ‘ ‘ ni ac-.Athat we should Save a fall sud correct . count, and avoid blind and nnjust crim ina­tion and recrimination. He wax forbidden to go In and exercise his craft, and they pro­tested against any report being taken of any­thing (hat should be said.

Mr. Gill also invited Mr. A, F. Dbdge. Man­ager of the New England Magazine, who Is also a lawyer of reputable eund lag , to go with him u bis counsel and also toaerve, if need be, as an Important wUnees: be waa or­dered ont of the bouse, and by word and ges­ture violence was threatened him till Mr. Troop, their chairman, came to draw away the man who was threatening violence. The evidence which Mr.GMI preeeotod, which U only a fraction of evidence i t 1« in hie pow­er to present, is a* follows:

First, on Mrs. Eddy’s Inveracity. The first item In this proof conilste of her contradic­tion of the records of the Circuit Court of the Gnlted States, Boston, Suffolk Co. Her affir­mation is as follows: "Dr. Arena stole n in e

tire benevolence only after be was made to pay a fine of one hundred and thlrteq* dol­lars end atoe cent*-for his plagiarism, and threatened with a penalty of ten thousand dollar» on further proceeding in the same course; and that all this is duly certified by the record of the Circuit Court of the IT, & for Boston. Bept. 27, 1883." This quotation from the October number of the CAriatiaa Science J o u rn a l, peg* 179. wee dictated by Mrs. Eddy to Mr. Giu. and repeatedly affirm­ed, and »be aleo furnlabed a copy of the C h ris tia n Science J o u r n a l of 1883.

L im tB FROM BON. X. S. HOLBROOK,X* O * K<U» U U» lUOile-PbUtwoctOaJ Journal:

I w ill w rite for the pdblto eye some few of my experience* and observations of sp irit m aterialization, or wbat purport» to be that; for wo must speak reservedly, I suppose, up­on a m atter th a t!» 'so much perplexed with variant reports of facts and autagoaiziug opinions. On questions of so much impor­tance and involving so maoh conflict, if any one has bad decisive demonstrations given him, It would seem to be his duty to submit them to the consideration of others, though he may be made to feel some acrid and onus- tio suggestions and criticisms. As I have rehearsed my story, quite a number of hear­ers have urged me to give i t to the world for the common good. I hesitate for ono among many reasons, which is, tha t I cannot ask for apace enough to give thh details necessary tor a witness to be understood. I speak feel­ingly when I say that an eh details are a l­ways tedloos to me os a reader, and much more as a writer, and hence I seldom Indulge. The short of it Is, that i havo Been, fairly seen and experienced (and no suggestion of h and could reasonably be made) about the same things, and about as good things as b*ve been a t any time reported to the spirit­ual papers (alway» excepting n few of the moat extraordinary, such as those reported by Father Hazard and some others). They tha t believe and are accustomed to snch de­monstrations can be relieved of reading fur­ther, They may, however, if'fb 'ey ‘ chooee, count me a» an additional wltjies*, while 1

K on for the benefit of the newer disciples, icb I ehalt meet.

Bat first I want to oay Just a few words abont tbls question tha t 1» thrown to us and the world, “Can Spiritualism spiritualise?" My answer ia, tha t as a whole It can and does now, bat I hope for still better things, and I expect a t Bomo tinio—even in the near future —it will bo absurd to pat each a question, so d e a r will the affirmative appear. I could proceed more a t length, but so many havo answered, and I see are s till answering that ineatleh, that I will pass on to my chief item In tha t line, which is this: That i t Is too early to pnt that question os a test ques­tion, or to answer It ns a finality. Let ns have more facts. They are indeed lucre»* lag every day. Facts ore the word of God. In all these new things first see what they are. This means the exercise of judgment and acumen, the expulsion of all fraud, the elim­ination of all weeds from the garden of trnlfa.

U nity occurred. Some one Induced me, rather against my will, to attend the stance of Mrs. Crladle Reynolds, a t San Francisco. I had no expectation of seeing what I did see, but rather thought \ would Jast observe how and where the fraud came In, and the clumsy attem pts a t Impersonations, a t some dis­tance, too; hence my emprise was so much the greater.

The place wee a large parlor In a private house built m usual-second story, doable room, folding doors, ball, two windows, thick English carpet» eio- etc.; one corner fenced offtby blankets, made to elide back, the win­dow otyfkaded with bed clothes, a chair and h tln b o fo the only things there. The lady herself, ofNmedlam size, dressed In bleek, seated the company (from twenty-five to fof- ty), shot the doors, turned the light very tow {some one managed the light by direction), and so the stance commenced. The medlnm eat. outside the curtain, and Oral a spirit, te em in y ly , came ont, met some one aqd con­versed. and so .again another, the same way. Then the medlnm went Into the cabinet, and the light was turned up so tha t we could see every person in the room; not clearly, Tie true, bnt so dearly the movement of anyone would be observed.

Now I will group, and say tha t I attended three stances, a ll I had a chance to. and I will not distinguish between them; not alike,

- bnt sim ilar. There seemed to bq cabinet spirit«, they tha t generally attended and could do better than the novitiates. Many people there seemed to be general attendants —coming there aa to visit wltb friends.

• Thera seemed to be behind the curtain ono playing the man part, a strong man voice, Mr. Gruff by nkme.and one playing the wo­man part, or ra ther the little g irl part: a fine childish voice, stumbling somewhat in the

How qoLxziogly I contemplated the respect of taking the band of a spirit. WUI t be cold, clammy, death-ilke, and w ill It

vanish on pressure? On the contrary on triat i t seamed perfectly natural; soft, yet firm; warm, flesh like, life like, jua( precisely such a» I bad taken before, and hope to again. What dees this mean? Having gone the round of the circle she went to the cabinet and vanished. The next evening I was the fortunate gentleman tha t she selected. I took her hand. She said, “How tall are yon?" Taking my one from what I had seen I play­ed the same part, made my reply, Jed her round the clrcJo end to the cabinet, and she vanished. What does all this mean? Oh I I see. She came like an angel, walked like an angel, and vanished like an angel, and so I suppose she was an angel, bnt how 1» It that there Is for the lime such a mortal flesh and blood appearance, and then,presto! there Is but th r vacant air?

Another cabinet spirit—a lady in white, slight figure, with a tra in , too-cam e out with a mission,It seem ed suppose she should be called a prestidlgltateuressj.andcamo right among us, and said w ith a clear human voice. ‘Tve lost my lace. Have you gut my lace?” and stooping would hunt for it, find It, hanl It oat. roll it op and proceed to the cabinet; then oat again and repeat many times. Once she found i t under m yT oat; once, as she got mo to rise, stretching tier band toward the seat of the chair. I0 vn* there. I could not tell how. I took to lu my hands, my arms rather, there was spinneh of It, but U followed her. Another came out, quite tali, with the horn, which she darted to the ears of persona, and they started. As It came to mine, I beard, “How do you do?" os If originating in the horn. She did not put the horn to her month, so, therefore, 1 wondered whence the sound? (People are mistaken In tlielr notions about ventrilo­quism, tha t a sound can be thrown.) Mr. Gruff showed himself to the waist in man*« a ttire and sang songs. Kffie, Id a aprlte-ltfee way, came in front and talked and 'to ld sto­ries. making a deal of fun, and sung song». A little girl went up from the audience and sods with her; sometimes a leaser girl, a eplrit, stood by her side. An old man, with very vigorous German countenance, showed himself (once), and said, “Mozart, MoiartH Two lady spirits were seen standing togeth/r a t the opening, neither of them os ta ll as the medlnm. Once at the close of the stance Mr*. Reynolds came out and hurriedly threw back the curtains—at least os quick as the

Slrit dressed in white went In. At the close one stance she seemed to be Jostled ont, a ll In confusion, and had to go back, etc.So much for the affaire of the cabinet,

spirits which I have grouped together for convenience, bnt other spirits were continu­ally coming and going. In fact there was a

stance of the Berry Bisters, probably m » n o thvrn knowing me. I Ihobgbt I was nntor- tunato, In tha t my seat was so far from the Curtain, abont twenty feet. The room was pretty dark, but I could see light figures near the cabinet and hear Jow conversation. Then a voice said, “Here ore a mother and daughter coralog together" Soon^a lady spirit In white came to me,, ex tending her hands, saying, "TbiB is Pa" (that was my wife’s way), and leading ms to the curtain, said, “You stay here: I’ll be right back,' — stepped behind the curtain and back (re­freshed you know), and said, “Bello is here. She wril como by and by. We both tried to come together, but found we had Dot pow­er enough. As I told you, dear husband, wo are showing ourselves to you as we have op­portunity, and we will make yon confident and happy." I had to struggle from the ca­resses to say, “Bnt. Anne, Is it you sure? though I bad no right to doubt, and don’t know as I did, bn t I was crowding the evi­dence*. Bbe said, “Of course It is. Look at me,” throwing her head back' for a better vJew, I conid not be folly assured by the de­tails of the face, there being so llttto, light. I conid see no variance, however, In thlyirdi- ont from her body in It* beat estate. ShosSTd.

With a spring and a laugh she said, "Try again.” presuming tha t I would not be dared and beat by a little airy woman spirit on drad weight, I put my arm* under her shoulders, clasped around, swayed back, and did my level best; bnt again without avail. In fact, she seemed to grow heavier the more I lifted, She said, “ I do this to show you what power we have here." The Bhort way to say aa to the body, manners, words, etc., etc., is tha t a ll i ' ' * *Bbe.ktSMhf vanished. /

When stated again another lady spirit came and led me along. I said, “Belle, la It yon?"

“Yes. papa, 1 am your Belle, bnt not yonr lilfto Belle that yoa laid away in thb earth."

And now about as before, bnt yet not suc- oot‘3Iug qs she desired, she said, “Papa, this is a fltrantftsplace, and I am confused," but I thought she did excellently well. The next night she came again, and oh! eo fine,'It seempd that a radiant angel, full of love and excellence, had visited me.

For tbe most part individuals had their fcfe-o-fefet, meeting for company’s sake, and they knew their time and place; end there were caressing» and conversation*, eplrit and mortal, generally, one a t a time, bnt not always; sometimes materialisations righ t there. I mean formation* for the first outside tbe cabinet, and dematerialisations, too, going down suddenly, end sometime* with a sound—a thud. Some persona brought bouquets and gave to their spirit friends, and they were taken by the Bpirlts Into the cabi­net. One night, nevertheless, they were net there on the rise of the curtain. Efllo said she carried them Into the medium’s bed­room, and sure enough they were found there. One night they eald they would leave them for the medium, and bo they were left. Personally, the name* of my eplrit friends «verb-announced from the cabinet la advance. At the first stance my sister Mary came, or

(rather attempted to come, but there was some M istake and confusion, which was afterward explained. At the next stance my daughter Belle came to me where I eat. At first she pressed me with caresses too close for words, though I put questions for assurance, and then she said, “l m ast go beck.” l stepped toward tbe cabinet, bat before quite reaching it she flowed rapidly from me, from my hands and arms, down and forward to the cabinet. The next night my wife came to me as I was sealed, end In the same way. I did what l could for further assurance of identity; the hands,Arms, height, slxe, shoulders, her hair, the same as In earth-life at her best.

There was once a celebrated medium of California, Mrs. Breed, a t one time In Chica­go. too; and I saw her and had excellent tests'. She pawed on about two year« ago. Bhe ap­peared, stood In front, made a little speech in a loud whisper as to bow she had distrusted and abnsed tbe m aterializing mediums. Bhe came now to make amends to all, and espe­cially to Mrs. Reynold« whom she abused the most. Then she turned to a lady friend and acquaintance of ns both and engaged in con­versation.—seeing which I step pea near, and she said, giving me her hand, “Yes, Mr. Hol­brook, I remember you. 1 saw yon to Chica­go.’’

There were a great many more thing» that I cannot tell now. Towards the close 1 ques­tioned Mr. Graff on some points that looked so vBy quizzical. For Instance, these spirit ladles had stay*, pins, hooka and eyes, etc; “How Is that? How about the voice in the horn? How about tbat lace being fonnd, and a piece being cat off and carried away, did not de materialize?”

Answer; "They that materialize m aterial­ize Just aa they like to; as to the horn 1 am

TUX TRUE AND FALSE T«IROUGH THE SAME MEDIUM.

I saw other mediums, Mrs. Best, William Eddy and hla sister. Mrs. iluntoon, a ll con­firming the possibilities of m aterializations —eplrit demonstrations by extemporized ex­hibitions of human farms. Oh I yes, 1 know wbat they say, “ tha t a t some Urns one or all of these medlnm« have been exposed and found gnllty of frauds," etc., etc. I have read and heard such frauds stated by eye-witness­es, but those special instances can have no relationship with what I have seen, yet I be­lieve their testimony. Tbe witnesses are good and reliable. The consummation Is this, tba t tbe true and the false can be pro­truded through the same medium. I have a' theory which will reach sneh an extraordi­nary state of things, but It Is too early to broach i t .

BY GEO. A. EHUFELDT. X

I noticed In last week’s Journal tha t (he Legislature of Pennsylvania proposed to ob­literate Spiritualism by the passage of a law which makes It a penal offence to receive or communicate messages from the dead, and declare* It to be a misdemeanor for any per­son to take money for sacb abominable prac­tices. I t Is supposed tha t this sort of a law Is based upon the Idea tba t a ll cotnoiunlca- tiona of thia kind are fraudnlent, per ze, and tha t money obfhined by meaus th e re# - 'U

Paid under false representations. Ju st now will not take time or space to vindicate the

bp lr It uni philosophy from the chargee which are implied under the provisions of tbls taw, as I t la not necessary, bnt we alt know the story of tbe success Mrs. Partington hod when she undertook to wash back the Ocean tide with a common house broom, and we kndw tha t this Legislation wUl have abont as much effect on the progress of Spiritualism os did M n. Partington’» broom upon tbe tid­al wave. . ■ i.

Bat if each a taw ta to be passed, ta t us Insist tha t i t Inc lade other am i like eases of obtaining money by tales, «presentations. For instance, there is a practice of ton^stand-

of Us current revenue. Now every body

simply and plainly a fraud practiced on the Ignorant and nnwary. I t U a scheme to make money out of the fears and af­fection« of the weak and the poor, and noth­ing else. Now we Insist tha t if the petty and minor wrongs which are charged upon Spiritualism are lo be remedied by lgw and the alleged perpetrators punished, then a l­so »hall the anthers and doers of this mon­strous iniquity be meted out a like punish- m eat.

Every Driest who takes money to Boenro the repose of the eonts of tho dead, or professes to be able to get snch souls out of purgatory and lakes fees therefor, Bhall be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor and punished ae cordiugly. Let os see where this thing will end end whether or not our spiritual medi­ums shall not have companions In their pun­ishment.

Again, there is a Boctety of great power and Influence la this country, called “ The Amer- icaa'Foreign Missionary Society," which pro­fesses to ba engaged In tbo btiBlnws of con­verting Hottentot*. Bushmen and Negroes, to tbo cause and religion of Christ. This so­ciety 1* annually In the receipt of many hun­dreds of thousands of dollars, which It claim* to be devoting to this purpose. AH sorts of reports, statements and claims are made, to IndnCfl weak-minded persons to contribute to tho fund; this majority of which report* and statement* are false and fraudulent, and wholly w ithout foundation. The money in' mainly need to pay pref)liJents„«eeratartort, clerk* and hangers on, who all wear good clothes and live on the best products of the market. As for the conversions they are con­veniently small In number, and utterly In­significant; once in a great while they get a stray negro or a Chines* pauper, and tbat 1* a ll. I t has been estimated that every con­vert mads by this society, ha* cost above ono hundred .thousand dollars, Wbat Is tbls bat a g igantic frand! What but the obtaining money by the grossest kind of false preten­ces? By all means let ns hafa the law, but let us put all the rogue* In. It will not da to aim eo powerful a weapon a t the one Iso­lated sect or class, but they m ast a ll go in,— medlnm, priest and parson.

Clark told the officer tb&t, If forced Into a meeting which he disapproved, he should feel also forced to declare publicly the reasons for hie dissent In the doctrine. He employed him­self reading a boqk during the service, and after the sermon find the impudence to ad­dress the congregation till bustled away.

Tbo prisoners ag r to refuse and receive tbe alternative of a public whipping, but some of Clark's friends, against hts will, paid hi* fine; Crandfleld was let off on hie promise to appear before tbe next court, and Obsdiab Holmes was whip­ped alone. Several of hi* friends were pres­ent a t the ceremony, and John Spun-, with John Hazctl, while escorting him back to prison, “ took him by tbe hand In the market place and praised God for his courage' nnd dbnstaney.’ For this crime of sympathy they were summoned to court The next day to be fined £2 apiece or be'whlpped; They chose the lash, but some friends Insisted on paying the money, bo they were dismissed ana re­turned to Rhode Island.. The Puritan persecution of the Baptists,

however, in comparison to what now took place, may be regarded os simply a prepr&n- dtat whet to the appetite of fanaticism, or to tbe lust of power and gain.

Case of Doable ConsclounneeB.

It appears from & dispatch from Norris­town, Pa., tha t a most retasrkablo case of loss of Identity, ha* been sp ira ling society circles there. Borgeon-Oenerarfe, W. Read was called In, and say* the case i«*the most peculiar In his wide range of experieiiceSphe narration ta as follows:

Six weeks ago a *1 range gentleman of good address came here and rented the »tore a t No 252 East Main street. He divided the room into two apartment* by means of cur­tains. The rear he furnished and occupied as a Jiving room; the front be stocked with notions and toys and did a modest but suc­cessful bUBineBB, The family from whom he rented tbe Store came in dally contact with their tenant, but neither they nor any of h is patrons ever noticed anything peculiar in hta m anner or habit*. He visited Philadelphia several times, replenish«! his stork, and con­ducted hta business carefully.

No m ental obliquity was noticed un til yes­terday morning, when he knocked a t the door leading from the store 4o the dwellJog part of the building. Mr*. Ear), who an ­swered the knock, was surprised to hear him ask, “Where am IV” Bbe tried to convince him of bis whereabout*, bnt failing, her hus­band came to her ssatatance. To him the ten­an t mode the following statem ent: “I awoke about 4 o’clock this m orning after dreaming tha t 1 was buying and Belling merchandise. I discovered th a t I wo* In h store, and wan selxed with the fear tha t I wonid be arrested a* a burglar. Now I w ant to know where I am.” He coaid not be rnide to believe that be was in Norristown, or tha t he visited Phil­adelphia recently. He only answered: “ 1 was In Philadelphia twenty-eight years ago, bat not since tha t time.”

Dr. Read was then summoned, and to him tbo stranger made the following statem ent: “Doctor, I have Ju*t awakened from a con­fused dream. I am Informed that I am in Noirlstown, Fh„ and tha t this Is the 14th of March. I f this 1» true the last two month» have been an entire blank to me. Yesterday I left my home In Coventry, R. I . Bnt tha t was tbe m orning of Jan . 16th. I drove toGreen’s Station, on tbe New England Rail­road, left my horse and carriage (n cbnrco of a-friend, went to Providence drew $550 frombank, culled a t several places. Including the etore of my nephew, Andrew Harris, No. 131 Broad street, opposite tbeNarragaD»ett Hotel, and left there to go to my stater’s residence on Westminster street. I have a distinct recollection of having passed the Adam* Ex­press office, corner of Dorrnnce and Broad streets, .but have no recollection of a »Ingle event since that time. I am n minister of the Gospel, my name Is Ansel Bonjae, and I a m , 61 years of age.”

lir. Read left him in the care of Mr. Earl’a family, wtth Instructions to partake copious-

» of food. Ita then telegraphed Andrew arris: “Bo'¡you- know Ansel Bonrne?"

Please answer, and received the following reply: “He Is my uncle. Wire me where he is and If well, w rite particulars.”

The worlringwomea of Copenhagen have founded a benefit nnlon for m ntual help, which already counts fourteen hundred and flfty-nlne memblrs. Many other women's unions hare been lately founded In Denmark, both In the oouutry and the capital. Among the chief of these Is the Woman's Union for Progress, which was established last Novem­ber. and works In a democratic direction. Its object la to awake public opinion on the sab-

Iect of “ women's rights,” and to excite at* ontlon to all questions of social or political Interest. Lectures and dUcassloas are »eld

womau physicians In th a t city whose annu­a l practice averages $20,000 each, twelve whose Incomes average above $(0 ,000, and twenty-two who average $5,000 each. Aud yet women who have sought to enter the medical profession fn Philadelphia, have met w ith more opposition there than from any other city In the country. The opposition came from the male physicians. They claim ­ed tha t women conld never acquire nkill enough to deal with « fever or a fracture. Besides, they feared to have their field in ­vaded by women. Possibly they had a la ten t fear tha t women might make a enccess of the profession. This has proved to be the case. There are now two thousand five hund­red women with first-class diplomas from medical colleges, and their success In^tnls field is acknowledged on all hands. There are woman M. Djj who are consulted by the meet eminent physicians In Philadelphia and New York.

From an article ^n the CAouloug«on by Mrs. John A. Logan:

** Mrs. Rosenberg of the Treasury Depart­ment Is co aside red'one of the very best coun­terfe it detectors In the world. Hundreds and thousands of dollars have been thrown out by her remarkable skill, after they had been

{used by lees astute detectors. She receive* 1,800 per annum. If she were a man her salary would be much larger. Mias Mary Van

RELIGIO-PHILOSOPHICAL JOURNAJhas been a great pleasure to me to meet these girl students. Tnelr tra in ing has been wise, as Is evident from their appearance. They bare more firmness, fibre, and self-poise from their association In college work with young men. They ire-w ithout sickly sentim entali­ty; they look In better health than the major- tty of onr girl students in Eastern colleges, and are consequently handsomer. They are real girle, not pedantic, but overflowing with fun and enthnslasm, liking a good time, full of hope and large plans for the future. Their handsome faces and figures'are well setoff by tasteful drees. The future of out nation will bo enriched by thousands of splendid women, of good physique, well educated, self-poised, and self-respecting.

They have been m iking an exhaustive study of the rights of women In the State of Illinois, and tLelr Investigations had canaed them much dissatisfaction.

* What do these organizations of women signify?' aiked of me a gentleman of Chi­cago. ’There Is a network of them covering the country, and they constantly Increase.’

“ • What is their significan ce?* 1 answered Id the language of the president of the Lo­cator Woman’s Club: ' These numerous or­ganization» of women are prophetic and pre­fatory. They mean a larger life for women, a wider outlook, and, by and by, a nobler civ­ilization for both men and women, with bet­ter and happier homes, wiser mothers, juster husbands and fathers, and children who wlll be the very sous aud daughters of flod.’

“ Many of these clubs are collecting libra­ries for use Id their work. The Milwaukee Art Club has aa admirable a rt library. Au-' other Woman’s Club, wbleb 1« studying the * Labor Problem,’ has Just bought Bowker’s ' Economics for the People,’ Thomas Braiwey 8 * Work and Wages,' Simon Newcomb's ’ Plain Talk on the Labor Question,’ and Andrew Ce/fl»*!®'8 ' Triumphant Democracy.’ I a l­ways return from this great, grand West fa ll of hope, despite all that tends to dlacoorage- ment.”

Intellect and Spirit.

The moat rest leas and nnsal lulled of all man arc thaw la whom the Intellectual tem­perament predominated. Skepticism has marked them for Its own. Gold la taken for brass and diamonds for paste. In separat­ing the true from the false a great portion of life U «peat—and rightly «pent—for it in the A nt duty of the Individual to distinguish tru th from untruth.

In the life of snch there 1« no repose. Men­ta l habit« become alert, critical and analyt­ical. Cold, positive and often brilliant, the lantern of the brain is turned full upon every fact or etatemeut. with the iaudnble Inten­tion of getting “the tru th , the whole truth, and nothing but the tro th .” Among this class are numbered m aterialists and scien­tists. In observing, dissecting, classifying

. and arranging they are unrivalled.Bat there la a realm which their Investi­

gations fall to explore—the realm of Invlsl;' bie forces, and of caoeallon. Undetected by tbe external senses or by the Instruments which aid them, it must remain undiscover­ed unless the inner eye aud ear are cogni­zant of vibrations too delicate to impress their material envelopes. Spirit" alone can recognize spirit.

' The conditions necessary to secure appre­hension of sp irit—not necessarily of Individ­ual or incarnated sp irits—are, first, a passive, reverent, it mtght,be called a religious, frame of mind, a'sincere lave of tru th and aa en­tire absence of prejudice or predellctlon. They who wait In atlH obedience for the g ra ­cious inflow, will find the tide rise slowly, softly, noiselessly, un til each soul is filled with love and light, aad Individual being Is merged into and made one with unpartlcled

r 'oeifty. At such times can tha t which is recelrectbs weighed, measured and defined In eet formhias? Can the finite give bounds to tho Infinite? Only bo far aa the eonsetous- nesfl can apprehend, and the senses lim it, the IllimlUble.

A Uttie monograph upon Emerson'« m ater­nal ancestors, by hie cousin, Rev. D. G. Hask­ins, cloves with this beautiful and Impres­sive statement concerning the great sp iritu­al eeer of this country:

It wia itnpoerible to hold convene with him,—I might almo» ny to bear lbs too» of hi* voice, or lo mark tbe expraeloa ot hi* oouateainoe, without perceiving that apkltu) thing* wen varlUee to him, ■od Um near preeemoe of tbe Io Uni la One a reality, With this profoaod eeanof Ibedtvlne omul presence.

■ o ra l Education.

Statistics by Prof. Seeley are quoted in U n ity showing Increase of Insanity. Idiocy, blindness and deafness. In 1850, we had one insane to every 1,468 pereone. In 1880 bne to 066, A more careful census a t tho last date may account for a good share of this differ­ence, but i t has itn 111 look. U n ity thinks tha t tbe next step after scientific aud manu­al tra in ing 1ft school* must be moral, or e th i­cal education. It says: “ That child alone Is 41 prepared to live whose life Is grounded on "In teg rity ; who aim* at what I* excel- " lent rather than wbat Is .easy; to whom » justice means more than sarte**, and who' » rates character above p o p u la r tl^ i^ J h ls is well said, and we would suggest to our Neigh­bor and to others, thnt the excellent-book by Dr. J . R. Bnchonan, *' Moral Edpedtloo,”—or ‘•The New Education.” as AhTlast edition is named, covers this ground ably and clearly, and Is the only book of any real weight that does so. Education of band, head and soul; train ing In art nnd Industry, In literature and science, and tn morals, ethics and spir- Itaa].culture; to make man or woman full orbed, and to make domestic aud social llf<? and public affairs what they should be. Is hjs Ideal of complete education, and It is dls- enssed and Illustrated In such manner aa to have called forth high praise from high thinkers.

In the same line, but reaching more tulh^ to spiritual culture, 1» n late low» movemsfit of the Unitarian Association of tha t jita te . T b e 41 * Lay Readers' Society of Iowa " hks been organized, and Miss K. E. Gordon of Sioux City, Us secretary, has issued a circular set­ting forth the Idea and aim of the society— which Is to call ont the Laity in helping the work of eplritaal education. This is good. Why should the ordained clergy be held as the only persons fit for safih work? No dan­ger bat tha t p a n or woman in n pulpit, If they have anything to say and can say St, will have fair scope and good hearing, bat R Is weU to Lrjsak up this old priestly notion that a dM bIty hedges »round the clergy making them the only competent religions teachers. Jesns and John were effective preachers; Panl did some fair work In that line; but no conncll ordained them; they were open to question and comment from tbelr bearers, and those hearers sometimes epoke when the spirit moved them. Miss Gordon asks, as we learn Id Unify, for “ an ordered and general effort of tbe^laUy to bring their knowledge and their presence to bear for refinement and elevation.” She doe»

-not want the churches to be 44 ijelect and ele­gant clubs,” but says: 44 A tru ly missionary ‘'denom ination, or religion, Is not one In “ which tbe proclaiming of glad tidings Is *' le ft to the ministry, but one In which the ” whole body of the people aro Infected with ” a desire to convert all.”

Thl* Is In the direction of ending tho old priestly power and exclusiveness, and mak­ing tho minister, or teacher, a co-worker with the people who help to , teach Id their turn. .

It might be well for some lukewarm Spir­itualists, who are like the deacon who sold he was " a Presbyterian but didn 't work much a t It." to be “ Infected with a desire ” to spread oar glad gospel.

The Ross Exhibit.

On the sixth peg? w ill be found tbe sworn statements of four witnesses of tbe affair a t Mrs. Rosa’s residence on tbe evening of Jan. Slat. The J ournal has ou file a considerable number of affidavits, but tboee now publish­ed cover substantially the ground of all. The question before the public In this case Is not whether Mrs. Ross Is or le not a medium far m aterialliatIon; It Is, was she caught In deception and found to be eroployl ng con­federates? The fu te occurring in a «dance room can only Be known to the public by meaus of the testimony ot witnesses. If testimony favorable to a medium and the manifestations Is ever worthy of considera­tion, then is evidence of au unfavorable nat­ure entitled to, a t least, equal weight, pro­vided the witnessed are persons whose repu­tation for tru th and veracity le good. If Mrs. Roes la not convicted of fraud, aad if the presence of confederated Is not proven by the testimony offered, then Is a il human testimony either for or against manlfeeta- tlona in a «dance for form 'materialization u tterly valueless and unworthy of notice. If the evldeuoe'of tbeae witnesses le not good, if they.were, aa is claimed by the Row party, mistaken, then 1« doubt thrown upon all records of materializations heretofore and now held as trustworthy by BplrHuallste; for nothing can be dearer on Its face than the testimony of these reputable w itness«. and If they are not to be believed, If they were victims of an hallucination, then how much more probable le It tha t tboee who affirm form manifestation» are deluded. Tbe argu­ment advanced by tbe Boee defenders outs both waya aad is more dangerous than a two- edged sword to Spiritualists.

Since th a t memorable n ight Mrs. Rom baa given some exhibitions under conditions th a t have gttatly-tmpraeeed observer* iffiaee evi­dence Is, eeemlngly, worthy of esrefo t a t­tention. II le.not a t a ll unllkely th a t Mrs.&Mÿ la • ped la in far form materialization.

In a way to entitle It f t scientific valoe, co­operate In securing Mrs. Ross for a aeries of experiments in apartments not under her control and in tho presence of well-knovrn and representative Investigators. When this Is done the J ournal wilt prompt!? publish a report of the result and sincerely hopes that It wilt sustain the claims of Mrs. Ross as a mod lam for form materialization.

/ The <* New Theology *’ School.

To be logleal and consistent at a ll times is beyond tho power of mortal man.-henco the somewhat erratic lint kindly Intended letter ou "The Lakewood Bchool,” published on the sixth page, Is not unique. The beautlfal freshness of tbe writer might naturally be mistaken for verdancy when he Bays: “ I feel •• confident th a t Dr. T. would bo favorable to ‘ giving Spiritualists n place a t th e school, "providing the Spiritualists Ujem^Ives " would unite with him In the mbTfment " and the «abject could be adequately pre- ” seated." While there is a vast deal In mod­em SpIrltuallBm «till rem aining to be settled autSaccurately formulated, yet Id the forty years of Its existence much progress has been mads and many matters of stupendous Im­portance havo been established; the cause Is represented by many able writers and Borne equally able speakers. On the other hand Mr. Townsend only very lately an expounder of Methodist theology, having succeeded la breeding » hybrid steed on which to ride to

S t 1« thought by the Journal oorre* th a t the ex-minister would be glad

plrltuallsm help furnish pap for tho suckling, "provided It can be adequately pro- flented." Infant« of all ages arc %qalte Indif­ferent to questions of equity and ever ready to-approprlate anything that has filling prop- ertlesN'T/ila "New ThwIogy" colt does not appear to be a horse of another color so com­pletely outshining other mixed breeds a« to edtitle i t to extraordinary consideration. Neither has It so far displayed qualities not already exhibited In other theological stock. Although Its owner christens It “New,” yet this 1« not to be taken as Indicating anything other than tho fancy of that gentleman, and has no more theological or ethical significance than Mand S. or Jay Eye See. Other strains of liberal theology stock have been developed long enoagh to give the public some degree of confidence In their special traits and to ensure reasonable certainty tha t they can Impress their qualities upon tbe next gene­ration, The "New” k s tl l l raw; It may devel­op Into a flyer, or It may only prove a scrub. When H Is well broken and It« gait establish­ed then will be time enough for Spiritual­ists as such to seek It out. In tho meantime i t will not be necessary to protect "New" from Spiritualist raids by a barbed wire fence or a Pinkerton squad.

The Kkugio-Prilosophical Journal does not understand that Spiritualists Individually or collectively have claimed any “right to de­mand the presentation of tbelr views.” In onp instance a liberal Christian, who is also a Spiritualist, seems to have thought that Mr. Townsend meant what he eaid when he pub­licly solicited the co-operation of all liberal Christians of whatever name or creed. She. wrote a paper entitled "Is the Inter-Commu- " nton of Spirit and Mortal consistent with " the Teachings of Scripture and Science?” basing It upon the life and teachings of Je- Bus. and offered It to Mr. Townsend for u s e ^ .

The Journal fella to see an y th in g 41 un­reasonable " in Mrs. Priest’s "com plaint.” She did not " seek a place on the Lakewood platform." nor asmme to be a 14 representa­tive " Spiritualist as the w riter on the sixth page unfairly or carelessly Implies, If " A Friend of Both Movements " does not ktiow Mrs, Priest, It ts his misfortune, for she Is competent to teach Mr. Townsend and all others in terested‘In the "New Theology" scheme, in many of tbe higher phases of spir­itual philosophy; and i t doe« not lie in the mouth of any volunteer apologist for Mr. Townsend to belittle her ability or repre­sentative character. She ts probably as wide­ly known ae Is Mr. Towaeead, a t least. The w riter by Implication says tha t representa­tive men, presidents of colleges and clergy­men of known ability, seek a hearing on (he Lakewood platform. The Journal would w astonished to hare the name of one such seeker. That such representatives have been solicited by Mr. Townsend Is undoubtedly true, and that some of them were w illing is also true, for which liberality andgoodfel- lowshlp on the ir p ^ t the J ouhn/ l 1« glad.

The Journal will hardly care to “ »tart a movement to la r s Spiritualism repapdpted thrfe next summer," until It la officially In­vited to do so and receive« satisfactory as­surance« tha t the New Theology gentleman is ready to cooperate w ith Spiritualists on term s of perfect equality and a basis of rec­iprocity. The Journal has the kindliest feel­ing for the New Theology bantling, aud 1b ever ready to give i t friendly aid, but It doe« not care to have Spiritualists or Spiritualism patronized or need merely to give life and strength to new-fangled theologies.

Rose m en's Dream.

We learn from a dispatch from Vincennes, ind.. to the Cincinnati ¿ ’nqu lre rtbat through the Instrum entality of a dream the body of John Morphy, who had been missing since the night of tbe ?th of March, was recovered on tbe night of March 20th. Tbe find wap made by Joseph (Uncle Joe) Remman, the widely-known mailing clerk of the Vincen­nes Postofflce. and was a great relief to the distracted parents of the boy and the com* m ^nlty a t large, who had no positive proof that Johnny had boon drowned, and were a l­most led to believe tha t he was s till alive from the reports that he was seen a few days ago In Kansas City. Uncle Joe Koseman, however, believed the boy was In the river, and he made daily trips to tbe spot where Johnny was supposed to have been drowned. On Saturday night, In a dream, he saw the river flowing a t his feet, and a abort distance from the shore a ripple in the water revealed the location of the Joet boy. Tbe memory of that dream was constantly on bis mind. It haunted him white he was a t work in the office the following morning. He explained the cause of his agitation to Postmaster Kackley, who told him to knock off work and go to the river and satisfy himself; nnd he did go, having been Impelled to tho water's edge by some Invisible power. There he saw tho picture of the dream revealed with start­ling reality. "T he ripple Itself," said he, " stood boldly out In the foreground. I wait- ■4 ed not a moment, but called a boatman, “ and, taking my seat ln 4tbe stern of the " boat, directed him to row to the spot Indl- " cated by the agitated water. There, with " my face averted, I reached down and seized “ eomethiug with my righ t hand, and at tbe " same InBtaut ordered the boatman to pull " for the shore. 1 found that I hail grasped " tbe foot of Johnny Murphy. I was too much 44 prostrated to render farther assletance. I " can not describe my feelings, bat I felt a " great relief In thereallxatlon of mydream ."

S pirit Tctcgrvphy. \

Thai spirits can telegraph msssagdiNfrom tho Splrlt-world to Jbo denizens of earth, seems to be well established. Favorable re ­ports come from Cleveland with reference to Mr. Rowley, who uses & telegraphic instru ­ment which was made under the direction of tbe spirits. The sounds tha t come over Rowley’s wires are regular telegraphic tick- lags, aud any one who can read the Morse alphabet, can read them also. We learn from TAe Press of Clevela^dtihat Mr. Rowley has become an assistant to D,r. L. W. Sapp, a t 347 Erie Street. Through his telegraph in ­strum ent be claims to hold communication with the Bpirlta „of departed physicians, who diagnose canes and prescribe remedies through the electric machine. Rowley never stndled medicine, and yet the bnelness being performed by the spirits Is said to be simply remarkable, the class of patients being, as a rule, the most respectable appearing people of the city.

About two months ago, at the tlmp that Mr. Rowley commenced to gain notoriety, Dr. J . B. Sapp, the dentist, a brother of Dr. L.'

2 Sapp, became convinced that thepi-was nothing wonderfnl in Rowley'sydlachine d decided to investigate It. He therefore

.began a series of experiments. He had a pet nog afflicted with a tumor tha t physician« had been unable to care. He therefore « in ­sulted tbe Instrum ent afid the application of the remedies recommended, he say«, cured the animal. At tha t time the dentist asked Rowley who was the force a t the spiritual end of tbe wires, and upon the medium's questioning the machine tfie answer win 0 eked back: '* Dr, P. P. Wells." Investiga­tion. showed tha t tbe well-known Dr. P. P. Wells, of Brooklyn, Js s till alive. In answer

. to this, Rowley's machine telegraphed; “ Ton 'misunderstood me. 1 practiced la Hartford, (hen in New York, and later held a chair, tu the Philadelphia School of Medicine. You wilt-know more of me sometime. That’s a ll I can say now “ Dr. J . B, then (eked the machine for some drug tha t would deaden the aeoslblllty in a debased .tooth. Such a drug boa never been dlaoovered and Sapp, • till accrediting a sort of superhuman influ­ence to Rowley’s machine,- believed tha t be m ight discover the unknown article. The‘ spirits replied th a t a few days' consideration would be necessary. After waiting a week the dentist again approached the machine in reference to the m atter, and the following answer was received: “ Wilt bavedrug ready in a few days. Have consulted with B&ob Lelblg and he U Jbnay In hta laboratory In sp irit laud compounding something.”

A S uperna tu ra l V isitan t a t Mexico, Mo,

Curious report« come from Mexico, Mo. I t is stated tha t the ghost of Alice Gfsy s till continues to make iU appearance In differ­en t parts of the city, creating intense excite ment. One Sunday evening lately a t eight o’clock'» number of pereona. both white and colored, uottqed/the spirit j oat-below the foundry, moving toward tbs mill, which la •boat flOO yards to tbe weaL Again the spec­tra mode Its appearance a t (he old Chicago* Alton round-honse, and, according to tba

Ouse (ueldo of tho bulldlug, the ghost took poasesaslon, and as the story goes - caused the building to be s i light as day—ho light, In fact, that tbe windows were fairly ablaze, and to cause the neighbors to tblnk> the house was on fire. Watch was set, bat ns no one dared to go Inside the bnlldtng It was of little avail. The light continued all n ight, but with the first etreaki of dawn disappear­ed. Colored people who knew Alice Gray well when alive positively aver that it le her ghoatthey sso, and cannot be induced to be­lieve otherwise, A number of white person« tell the same Btory as the blacks, aad the ghost is all the talk ln^certaln parts gf thecity. *

The FennsylvaaoalKçill.Thl* number of the J ournal found

to contain several vigorous and timely-com­munications bearing upon the proposed leg­islation against the public practice of tnedi- utoshlp In Pennsylvania. R. U, Westbrook. LL. D , an old and experienced Spiritualist.*, speaks with a directness nut to be m isunder­stood. Equally as emphatic 1* that zealon« worker, W. W.

Lawyer Shnfeldt points oat some Important work for the leg­islators to consider while they have their bands In. Geo. EL Jones expresses his mind ae clearly aud effectively as- though he lied covered' a whole page. one need ever misnoderMtand him.

It will be noted that a ll who touch upon tho subject In the Journal have tbe honesty, fairness and courage to look m atters square tu the face and not to hedge, equivocate or whine. This is characteristic of the Jour­nal'.« contributors; they demand only Justice and tha t they will have.

Progrès* From Poverty .

Ail good men are striv ing toward a com­mon goal and, though they cannot agree a« to the best route, will eventually get there. How to make the world healthy, prosperous aud happy is a problem-worthy of llfe-loug study. Henry George, an earnest, talented, good man, is firmly convinced that he hos- thekey to the solution of the problem, and gives an exposition of It in hta book, "progress and Poverty.” Giles B. Stebbtnu. a veteran reformer, one of the old-time Abolitionist he­roes, widely knowfi os a w riter on Splrttaal- Ism and political economy, and a regular contributor to the R k u m o -Philosophical Journal, ho« w ritten an answer to George which le ju st published under the taking tl- llei_‘ Progre«« from Poverty." The In te r 'Ocean of last Sunday devotee a column edi­torial to this book, and begins by saying; “No " better antidote to tbe Georgian heresies “ could be devised or .desired than Is fur- "n lshed by Mr. Stebblns In his excellent “ book.^Tliif-title is in Uaelf the history of " civilization.”

Puritan PERSEpTioN.—It appears on ex­cellent authority tha t the Young Men's Chris­tian Association Is the chief Instigator of the Bill to sappreee medlamshlp now before the Pennsylvania legislature. That the zeal of th is body le wholly In the Interests of tru th o r even of good morals In this Instance, no rational pereon whatever his religious views wlH*be- ileve. On another page will be foand a urltf account of the mnrder and persecution of Baptiste aad Quakers by Massachusetts Puri­tans. That “ the blood of the m artyrs la the seed of the chnrcb ” seems to have been prov­en In the case ot the Bap lists, for the adher­ents of that church now outnumber any other la the United States. By parity of rea­soning, therefore, If tbe Y. M. C. A. cad only manage to hang and icqprlson a few hundred mediums we n a y expect Spiritualism will ‘eventually be the dominant belief. I t la on record that Christians have begged' to be butchered for the glory of their fa ith ; i t la not likely tha t any Spiritualist vr|ll carry his zeal quite so far, nor Is it essentia! th a t he should. Bn( the Y. M. C- A. w ill do well to study history before making a «weeping and indiscriminate attack upon mediums, even though there be many claim ing to be such unworthy of confidence. S

He'nry George, the well known author of " Progress and Poverty." and editor of a pa­per devoted to the Interests of Labor. T h e S ta n d a r d , lectured a t Contral Music Hall In this city; on Monday evening the 28tli. The J ournal differs radically from Ur. George an to methods, but la in fa ll sympathy with bla motives, as most be all who have even * glimmer of the spiritual philosophy whether they be Spiritualists or not. When lately tn New York, the editor of the ‘J ournal wa» given a dinner by Mr. Bronson Murray of 63rd Street, a t which were present amongothers Mr. Henry GeoT«, Dr. Sagene Crow- ell. Hon. A. H.

The Albany. WIa, J o u rn a l of Marejh 6th , »ays: "T he attendance a t the m eeting of the Spiritualists' Society of this village on San- day last was very large and embraced many of the vary bast people In this community. A pleasant and unexpected surprise to the society and thoee In attendance, was the pres­ence of Mrs. Edna Ford of Monroe, a trance speaker of more than ordinary abiUty and merit, who kindly favored them with an able, logical and pleasing address. The literary exercises through out, together with excellent voeal mo sic, are favorably mentioned by those present* C

The total nom berof women registered Is six thousand. There are two thousand two, hundred of the leading women and the ministers taking an active part In the campaign.

In the large coal mines there the Knights of Labor are for law and order.

The M ediu m a n d D a yb rea k of England, says: "There Is a fearful story reported from India, that the British government Is prose­cuting natives for preaching teetotallsm. as It enables less revenue to be raised from the rain of the people, A savage potentate In South Africa la 111 at ease with the alcoholic commercial tactics of the European Chris­tians. What wonder, when the first miracle of the Christian's God was making wine from water to regale boozerp already a 'wee fn1.' Of course, the story Is an adaptation of the functions of Bacchus, the god of wine. Yet spirit guides go on retailing It as an ob­jection to temperance.”

Thoee seeking homes or Investments in the West, will do well to consider the advantages of Slonx City, Iowa, and the territory tribu­tary to that rapidly growing city.

The Freedman’s Aid Society Committee a t Cincinnati, a t their -business meeting last month, decided to give the Chattanooga Uni­versity sixty days In which p j^w afcethek decision tha t colored students should ndnfiT admitted to the school, and also that within the same time, the Professor y ho was dis­courteous to a colored preacher ‘muhl Jie dis­charged. If these things are not done their support I» to be withdrawn from the Uni­versity, and with It will go tha t of the Meth­odist conference, leaving the school In poor condition. This U a short and decisive way of clearing up what we called the Methodist muddle In a late mention of It, and It surely has the m erit of consistency,and courage, and of fidelity to their avowed principles

Dig h t , a t London, says: ” On the evening of Friday, February 25th, at St. Petersburg, Itassla, Mr. Kgllnton gave a stance to the Emperor and Empress, Their Imperial High­nesses the Grand Dok« and Duchess Berglas, Hie Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke Vladimir, and Their Imperial HIghbesse* the Prince and prlaceaa Oldenburg, The success ^ras perfect, and their Majesties were greatly gratified.

About two hundred prominent ladles and gentlemen assembled In the main parlor of the Palmer House last Saturday afternoon □pon special Invitation of Washington Irv­ing Bishop to witness several tent« of tbs power of, Ms so called mind reading. The great lest of the afternoon was to be Uw find­ing of a pin, hidden by a committee anywhere within a radius of one mile of the hotel, the place to be located by the mind reader while blindfolded, and the pin returned. ^Mr. Blah- op started away a t a lively pace, dragging the committee after him np Dearborn Street to the Howland Block. Here he led the osm- m it toe np the three flights of s ta in , paused before the door of room 15, and after consid­erable hesitation, entered, where he speedily ferreted out the coat and the concealed pin.

I t Is difficult to conceive how a man pos­sessing a deep religions natnro, can act cru­elly towards children^ Th* Chicago Zribwiw not long since stated th a t officer Dudley of the Ha mane Society brought back to this city **HJ_jnamed Lizzie Ayers, fifteen years of age, who was transferred from the Home of the Friendless here four years ago, to the family of Thomas Wales, a wealthy and sap- posed humane Scotch farmer of Troy, la . Lizzie, when she left Chicago four years ago, was an nm uually pretty ehlld, ba t wbep found a t Troy by an offleer, was ragged,dirty and repulsive, and apparently bordering on the verge of ldloey. Officer Dudley found the child crouching behind an old trunk in a closet. She was dressed In rags, was destl-

Vhi

eo crippled tha t she could*hardly walk, and had badly frozen hands, swollen to twice their natural six«. The child was almost on-

made a great improvement already In her appearance, but her swollen hands and feet nod ldlbtlc expression bear only too strong evidence to the b ru ta lity with which she wa? treated. Farmer Wales will b* proceeded against for crnelty.

Mrs. F. O. llyzer of Baltimore. Md.. 1» un­surpassed as an eloquent and effidenl work­er In. behalf of Spiritualism ., Her lectures and poetic Improvisations never fall to in ­terest and Instruct her andlence. For sever­al years she has bt‘en prevented from devot­ing her whole time to the spiritual Canse on account of an Invalid husband, who has re­quired her careful attention, and who has been wholly dependent on her for support. How this frail, sensitive woman, so closely allied to th e . Spirit-world, has endured the constant strain of her Belf-sacrlfieing effort«. Is more than we can tell. Her husband will now go to her brother In Ohio, for a time, and she will resume her active labors again In the lecture fieldl She 1« capable of doing a grand work for Hplrltuallsin and should be kept constantly employed, and thus enabled to retoase a heavy obligation resting on her home In Baltimore. Bhe can be addressed at Kavenna. Ohio.

The f 'h r itt ia n ile g u te r say«: “ There was a time when the in d ep e n d e n t did not take coon- eel with flesh and blood, when you could gen­erally tell where to find It on theologiral questions. It stood, a t least, for progress in Orthodoxy. But the course of the paper on the conduct of lbs American Board and Its a t t i­tude toward Andover have been a surprise to many of its former readers, and the dis­appointment found vent in a strong editorL a) criticism In the Boston- T ra n ecrip t. For some timer, the In d ep en d en t seemed io be try­ing the well-known clrcns feat or riding two ¡orses at once. Now' it eeems to have got

upou one horse: but so far as Andovrr is eon cerned. It is (he off horse. The t 'h r ii t ia n U nion is left alone amoogthe weekly * evao- gellcal ’ papers as the champion of progres­sive Orthodoxy."- L ig h t, of London, aays: ” ll Is greatly to be dealred that French Spiritualism should be governed by some practical minds. Hitherto the name of Allan Hardee has been all-in-all. 'Sentim ental reveries,'whatever the phrase may mean, aro not Spiritualism . The revela­tions of tlie trance are too often so colored by the medium through which they pass as to be vitiated when they reach ns. -And too often these so-called message« have been nothing more nor better than the Ideas of those who have eat round a table, have put forth their im aginings In the form of a ques­tion to which an affirmative answer has .bee i1 or has been supposed to hare been, retarned. This Is very different from the precise meth­ods which have been In use elsewhere of late years. ■ France Is behindhand.”

The following extracts are from a printed ' article and letters over Mrs. Patterson’« name, which was her (Mrs. Eddy’s! name then:

“ At present I am too mnch In error to elucidate the frufA, and can loach only the key-note for the master-hand to wake the harmony.

“ Now then hU works are bat the resolt of a SUPER Hilt WISDOM WHICH CAN DEM­ONSTRATE A SCIENCE NOT UNDERSTOOD."

“ But now 1 can see dimly a t first and only as trees walking, the great principle which nndcrlles Dr. Qalmby e faith and work; and just In proportion to my right jwrcrjiiton of frwfA, Is my recovery,"

" Pasted a t the public marts of thle City is the notice. ’Mrs. M. M. Patterson will lecture a t the Town lla tl one week from next Wed­nesday on P . P . Q u tm b y’l S p ir i tu a l Science. heating disease, os opposed to Deism or Roeheeter-Rapplnge Splrltnallam.' *Lj

" P. f . Quimby roll« away the stone from the «piilcftre o f ehroh, and health is the resurrection. Bat we also know that light shineth In darkness, and the darkness com- prebendetb It not.”

" In explanation I would furnish your read­er* w ith aome qnotations from P. P. Qulm- by's theory of Christ."

Thus It Is patent to all. that Mrs. Eddy here repeatedly affirms, and constautly con­siders Mr. Qalmby as a remarkable thinker a i well aa heater, a philosopher of original thought and extraordinary power,

fl, Mr. Gill has been charged with calling ; Mrs. Eddy a " fraud" In the church meeting.

He denies any recollection of it. On this we submit the following extracts from articles in the Courier of Maine, published by Mrs.Eddy (then Patterson) over her own name:,

Let us examine, I have employed electro-magnet­ism and mineral magnetism, and for a brief interval have felt relief from the equilibrium which I fancied was restored to.an exhaust­ed system, or by a diffusion of concentrated action; bat In no tnetando did I get rid of a return of all my ailments, and because I had not been h e lp » out of the error In which oar opinions Involve as, my operator believed In disease Independent of the mind, hence I coaid not he wiser than my teacher.”

We, the committee, are thoroughly con­vinced that oar pastor. Rev. Wm. I. Gill, ties acted on honorable end noble part under very difficult and trying circumstances, and that from his love of tru th and rlgbteoue-

u he has voluntarily sacrificed a fat earth]y position for an unpromising contingency; that his fidelity to the Lawrence Church de­mands our gratitude and unfaltering devo­tion; and that his fidelity to principle com­mands our moral confidence and homage.

The committee wish to say In conclusion that all that Is Mid against Mrs. Eddy In ex­torted by the charges first made against our pastor.

Kreoo. This they call mesmerism; and they tr It from others as mnoh as they ’(ry to In­

specie* of witchcraft described In the report, la which the Eddy camp indulges, believing and designing that It can thus inflict any form of evil on other«, Its alleged enemies, Mrs. Eddy said “ They," the men thus maV treated mentally, “ are only myths," Thla/s the solemn declaration of a man who 1st I think and believe, honest and sincere, and who Is thoroughly competent, and wLowontd 'Swear to It if necessary.

with olnbe and pistols, and backed ap too often by the spiritual press—honestly no doabt, yet to the detriment of honest medl- umehip. Séance room« are eo dark that neither form nor feature can bo recognized, while forms draped with garments saturated with Illuminated paint, are palmed off upon the patrons as spirit* from thB higher life, a t one dollar a chair,—with sitters to the number anywhere from twenty-five to forty a t a single séance of on hour and a half, while honest medlumehip will scarcely find an average of three sitters per day.

It Is the marvelous, the sensational that draws the crowd, hence the more Impossible the better It pays, until fictitious Impossibil­ities have enpp(anted real spiritual phenome­na and honest mod lu ms hip Is among the things tha t were, or nearly so, so far as be­ing sought after a t tbo present day by the mass of séance patrons, a rises of persons having scarcely the falntestfideA of spiritual possibilities, believing as did the good parson that Jonah could swallow the whale Just as well as tbe whale could swallow Jonah, If the Bible only said so. . M ■

By whom Is Splrltnallsm judged to-day? I t Is Judged by a class of persons that »n o * no more of spirituality than Just what They hare been taught Inside of the creod-bonnd church. Nines the Roes and Wells exposes in Boston and New York, I woe accosted by Mr. D. F. T., a good square bnsluess man of th is city, In the following manner:

“ Friend Currier, have yon read the account or the expose of Mrs. Rossof Boston, and Mrs. Wells of New York.?*’

“ Most certainly. I try to keep posted on these things."

" What do you think of It?"" Well," said L “ Mr. Tv I th ink tha t they

were two honest exposes of two persons that were deceiving theta patrons."

“ Well now,n said this gentleman, “ that 1» a faltosuHde of the whole thing."

SplrltnalMm Is being judged by this very clau-of m es, and if laws are to be made to govern os. they are to be made by thle very class of men, men who-kaow no more about real Splrltnallsm than Balaam’s donkey knew about preaching, hence honest modi umsblp will suffer bocauss Fraud triumphs, whitr~dtidlacrlmlnaUng Ignorance alts In udgmeDtSand makes laws to Incarcerate [ruth and Justice w ith'Fraud and Deception,

not being able to dlsorrn the one from the other.

If there la not intelligence enough In the legislature of Pennsylvania to consign th a t medium’s bill to everlasting oblivion, let ns hops It may meet Its just deserts la a veto by the Governor. W. W. Currier.

Item □!-proof on this point Is a letter which Mr. GUI h u see u , in the handw riting of Mrs. Eddy, addressed to Dr. Edward J. which reads as follow*!

Arens,

** Dear Doctor,—The relief committee are directed to take np tbe following measure to reform those evil one* tha t are disabling same of the students.

“ Your hoar is 6 f . m. Take 8.-—&>—K.- thua:

“ That 8. has bis old belief and fear of neu­ralgia In the bead, nud It Isaw fnl excruciat­ing, and It will make him Insane unless he atop* a t once and forever trying to make oth era an ff er from his beliefs.

to IM IMItor at IQ* Journal:Truly tbe hour has arrived in which the

State Is asked to take cognisance o f the do­ing) of so-called Spiritualism . To-day a class of men are petitioners In th e . State of Pennsylvania to prescribe by law what Spir­itualists may do, and what they may not do, under pains and penalties of Ones and im ­prisonment.

What is the matter?Who Is to blame?What can be done?8plrlt communion between the two world*

Is an eternal fact, and os sqoh will not trem ­ble a t any legislative enactment that can be placed upon statute books. If the people do- n o d an extra penal code In the State of ’enasyivania, to protect them from fraud

and'deceptlon, then let Justice be done; but let them be ears th a t juRlce Is meted out, and not religious persecution and blind prejudice. Liberty of conscience Is guar­anteed to every person, and must not be re­stricted by legislative enactments.

Those who claim the world to be their country, and to do good to be their religion, have a il the rights of the Constitution an re ­ligion* liberty guaranteed to them, ju st as much os though they belonged to a rieaom Inatloual and creed-bound church.

It seems to me tha t the religions world and the sticklers for Bible authority know too much to place legislative enactments upon the stature books to prohibit the well known fact of spirit communion, so thor­oughly demonstrated ou the pages of the Bible. If tbe gates were once ajar, who has closed them?

The troabte arises. In my opinion. In this case, from ths abominable practice of fraud and deception by a c iv» of unprincipled charlatans who have stolen the livery of heav­en to serve their own selfish ends and alms, and tbe chief of It all consists lb tha t damn­able business known as heavyweight mater lallx#tlon—a Ha as black as Infant damna lion, vicarious atonement,or a personal devil, defended by a class of gatlibles who neither investigate themselves with any degree of certainty, nor let others investigate, without calling them frond-hunters and medium per- oec (flora.

Again, la my opinion, Ibero has been more ln jary done to the can*e of Spiritualism and honest medlnmeblp Aftan by all other causes, by and through this class of fallible*, who

he stops trying to make others saffer from r beliefs.their i

“ This Is reformatory, designed to do good ' and not eviL Tbe Bible says tbe measure yon.shall mete shall be measured to yoii again.

1« Um KdlUir ot 11» IMUftu> ItUawnihlcti Juuni*kWhat are the reasons which have hod

weight with the judiciary committee of Penn b j Irani a Legislature ter report favorably np- on the bill to Bapprese medlnmshlp In that Stats? Hae the practice of spirit medlnms be oom&so obnoxious to public morals In that Btate tha t a law Is needed to abate the evil? Has this committee found oa t tha t there Isnot a Spirit-world, or if there Is. that the practice of asking ft |o Interfere In ths af-fitrs of this, leads to results dangerous to ths well being and happiness of tbe people of tha t commonwealth? Are tbo people of that State unable to withstand the temptations which mediums place before them to part w ith their money for a silly, fraudulent per­sonation of a spirit friend? Will legislation stop thsdretro to enquire of the dead? Can Splrltnallsm be crashed by law? Have not the people of Pennsylvania a perfect right to spend their money as-tbey th ink fit In the Investigation of ths phenomena of nature? I hold that they have, and tha t thlB proposed legislation Is about tbo most foolish and idi­otic that has been thought of since the days of Charles the II. The Investigation of sci­ence should be free. The righ t does not hold In the community to prevent me from asking a queetlon of a medium purporting to have an aaswer from the departed. To de­prive mo of that right Is tyranny. A democ­racy can be ds despotic as a monarchy. It is an Invasion of the rights of the people.

Spiritualism la a religion as well aa p sci­ence. ' Very fair aad very intelligent men accept It and live by Ha teachings, iiplrlt- uaUsm Is mv religion. Cannot 1 practice my religion la the State of Pennsylvania? Can I not henceforth have any communica­tion from the Spirit-world? A resolution of the assembly of the State does not roakp Splrltnallsm untrue, If It be true It Is wrong to legislate against It; If It be Imposition, the legislature of ths Stats 1* not to decide for me whether It Is so or not. I m ast find out for myself. I am free to accept or r*' ject It.

What would be the circumstances under which legislation for the suppression of the

iroctlce of medlnmshlp for pay would be astlflabls? T hus: the people must be m gnorant tha t they can not tell when they

Your editorial upon this subject Is a very wise and timely one. The bill now before the Pennsylvania Legislature Is only Intend­ed to enforce tbe common-law principle re­lating to fraud, by specific statute. I t ehontd be amended so as to be less liable to abase; bat the principle is righ t and nobody would be so much benefited by It as Spiritualists themselves. They, of a ll others should be earnest and fearless in punishing fraud la mediums. Think of the “ Katy K ing v il­lainy In this city, and tb s large sale of her " picture“* afterward acknowledged to hive been ta*ken from the Hitting or a woman “who looked like Katy." Think of the cefinr trap ­door In Ogden street and tbs cheating of a respectable citizen out of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, by a vile conspiracy; the silver mine speculator secretly giving “ p o in t*"to a medium, who, la ta rn , "p o t them a p " o a a a unsuspecting man seeking for tru th , and .swindling him ou tb f hi* mon­ey! Think of the exposure of the material- leer or psrsonator James, from whose person was taken (in my presence) more than forty articles Intended to enable hLnrto represent Kueeblus and French Gonntessrel Think of the notorious Gorden Tooling the good bnt credulous Father Hazard, until trappings by the b&lf-bashe! were seised oa his person In the very act! Then think of intelligent

fieraons calling thernsplves Spiritualists, de- ending three frauds, and many others of even a viler character!

Instead of defending the villainy of fraud­ulent mediums, Spiritualists should combine to pat them In the State Prison. There te no 'Can dark enough to confine those lazy vaga­bonds who for money, trifle with the most sacred feeling* of humanity and bring Into dlsrep ate the only system of philosophy end religion worth cherishing.

B Ï l i, D. HOME.

A people. who In the midst of the rush and turm oil of our age, has presorted its quiet habits, whose faith ban remained Intact In Its prim itive purity amongst the thousand and one boggling«, discussions, even the wars of religion of other people; whose man­ners and custom«, os .well as the difficulty of Its language, have rendered Intercourse less easy with its neighboring European nations; whose very climate seems to form a barrier against encroaching powers, Bach a nation, preserved from the contagion of modern in- credulity, estranged from the effeminate hab­its of an over-lniarloas "civilisation." must have preserved in it« midst some traditions of Its ancestors, banded dowh by succeeding

BDerations, tending to show th a t the belief n future Hfe 1» os ancient with them os it is with a ll other nations, despite the efforts

of modern "m aterialism " seeking to crush on t in "civilized societies.” the belief la s great hereafter. Such a people are the Rus­sians.

It is not natural to expect that after near­ly two thousand years these traditions should have preserved their original freshness; many have degenerated into fable, many more into what we are now pleased to call "superstition.” We can suppose. however, from the ‘fact tha t these supèrstHions are alm ltar am ongst nations differing widely from each ¿thee iti every respect, that these nations bad(be$nr favored -by constant spirit­ual inlercoiuA i and tha t tue primitive tra-

tf^been founded où facts that had > long back that even at'the begin

might think that following the example of all nature, man also lays In <t long sleep.

(t is during these winter nights that le­gends, traditions and stories are handed down from father to son; that quaint, and d e n t runloni£ are practiced by the pale light of the fc>uf*cAi«fl, or wooden candle.

It Is not .astonishing when one comes tore* Rert that these traditions are exceedingly numerous. The life of (he-Rnsslati has been always passed |a those great «ollttirl*« of for­est and "steppe,” interminable rolling plains Mini corer n great extant of the conn try rilled by tie* "While Czar.” There mother earth shows herself the most purelmoni- yl row ned, or. as It was. mMdlv put, "bathed.'OQN In /b e r gifts, nothing but ehesr toll re- wardlhg thè worker.

This Mnsrtenitza is now held Immediately before Raster, One of the principal amuse­ments of rich and poor Is "toboganing»" the sacred hill being turned into a plaything Iti our prosaic limes.

The greatest feast to Did Lsdo was. howev­er. celebrated the 23rd of June, and was call­ed KoiipaU flhe bathing). On the evening of that day they gathered dried grass, bathed In the river, and setting Iffcht td the grn«s, ran through It. A white cork was then sac­rificed, and Mara this time was not burn t bnt

This Kmi pala yet exists under-the name of Ivanoff Kniipnln. nr St. John's hat hing, being held on the day dedicated to that saint, large honfires being lighted for the occasion. The peasants yet suppose that on that night the

dea of Insight Into some of her mysteries. ! trees In the forest can move about from place that were, lu the time of the clave-*, adored | to place god sforni Inextricable labyrinth as superior to human knowledge, and which have given rise to the so-called superstitions

g of the history of these nations, the facts { roll In running and swimming. They tilledthe soil well tud lived also by the produce of1 become disfigured by a ll the fancies a t­

tached to them by imaginative minds.\ The R turiaa peasantry, living In villages widely disseminated over an Immens« space of territory on whlch^. nature has spread a thick cloththg of sombre forests to eovh- the nudity of a laud devoted the greater part of the year to the snow storms from the Polar eeas, have more opportunity of finding them selves lh communion with the terrible aiR beautiful force« of that nature.

When fishing in the large rivers by moon­light. the m drm nr of the waters gently Row­ing to the broad Inland seas, the spring breezes heavy with the fragrance culled in their sport amongst the honey-laden buck­wheat Rowers, or when living, daring the long summer, days oat la the Reids, tilling the soil, or listening to the gentle soughing

i a s Tof a warm wind a s l t corei i the corn tops.playing across square miles of a rich harvest, the Russian peasant must involuntarily lift his mind above this world and rehearse to hlixuelf the songs of "folk lore“ heard so of­ten. SO devoutly believed, and In many cwm proven by bis own Beaus. Kven whoacrouching with an old gun In band, amongst

tall ferns of the pine forest, the autumnthe Istorm already bending the tree«, and with a w ailing sound foretelling of the long winter nights th a t are on their way from the north, the mast-Uke fire mooning and sobbing ns the wild s«a after a tempest, predicting, per- hope, their own fate when they will be toned across the great waters, even then he must also fancy the wild spirits of bis ancestors hunW nrgboetly wolves through the moss-be­decked avenues of the wood, ^ n d the.winter —dread, desolate, as If » m e evil sp irit bod •sited the earth in its cold, steel grip; no sound save the melancholy bowl of the fam­ished wolves or the cawing of the innum era­ble flights of rooks oa they fly against the 'whirlwind, tha t wreathes Into fantastic

which nre in common belief at this prtsctil day; although these mysteries are no longer propitiated by eaerlflre, yet they-Off- in m - encei], so great Is the belief among t'bqfliardy north erne re, that there is a world Beyond ours, whose Inhabitants can hold communi­cation with tns. The word "saperstltioD," therefore, can hardly tie well applied to the different beliefs that l will mention, bu.t for want of a better one. 1 must let it stand.

Th*» Russian people are, as a rule, eitrctna- ly medinmletfr. This must not surprise us If we lake Into consideration their grbat physical strength, their slmple/ood and man­ner of living, their unshakeo, chlM-Hke, trusting faith in God and hi» angels, and their Innate belief In the communion of those gone before ns on the other side, with those who are still in the earthly body.

Tbe medlnmfatlc faculties are principally developed among the women, sitting solitary in their bats; spinning or weaving whilst singing the plaintive chants relating to their apjrltnal beliefs. I suppose they offer more opportunity to those who in the other world are the most interested In their welfare to Colne to them and to de^plop In them those faculties which ere the most necessary for the benefit of their fellow villagers. Places where no newspapers are ever seen, and sit­uated, perhaps, two bnndredjrerstii from med­ical aid, are not uncommon. Clairvoyance.- therefore, foretelling any coming disaster, warning the peasant of the flood or famine, and tbe g ift or healing through snlritaal aid where no earthly doctor can be cal ted, are greatly developed In these medium* whose gifts are very frequently hereditary.

Nigh two tbocmand years ago the north-east­ern portion of Europe, now called Russia, was Inhabited by a hardy race of men who called themselves "Slavjans.” They were di­vided lntn*dlfferent tribes, as the Llabl or Poles, the ErivRchi. the Drevllanl, the Varl- ngi (who had in their ranks a small family of the name of Rons, who gave their gm neto modern Russia), anti many other bribes. These tribes were disseminated over the coan- try, occupying different portions of territory aronnd their collections of wooden hots, the headquarters of each tribe. The Pali an 1 had Klew, the Krlvltchl. Hmo^ntk. and tbe tribe of Slavians, properly so-called, from whom are descended the modern race, held the te r­ritory about tbe lake Ilmen and the river Volhoff. Their town was called Novgorod (the new city) In the present province of that name.

Tall, welt made men, the Slavians were nd-

the chase, and the bountiful harvest of flsh the rivers gave them. ¡-Brave and extremely hospitable, the Stavian never quitted bis hat without leaving the dohr open and different eatables on his table, for the entertainm ent o f^ny chance gaest who ehoald stray In dur­ing Hm-ahwDM.

Their religion was Idolatrous; human sac- rificej were sometimes offered to their deities. Their gods were"numerous, but the chief one was "Peraao." the god.ot thunder and light­ning, of peace ana war. The sun also was counted os a great god—he was called Dajd- bogb. tbe gift-god, or PLd Lado. the father of light or Joy; sometimes also "Lulle.” which bos tbe same sign Ideation. Many peasant

'songs a t the present day mention Dld-Lado and Lulle, especially songs re la ting to the sowing of the harvest, or the growth of trees, etc., although I doubt th a t the words, which

vtorout of which tm \ bewildered woodman never finds his way,an Idea evidently handed down from the Slavians. This custom of lighting bonfires on the eve of St. John's day Is prac­ticed very extensively in France also.

1 am Inclined to believe that the name of the elllgv of w inter has a Sanscrit origin (Mara -bitter in Hebrew) a IH name to give to a northern winter.

Tbe Slavians had, as their descendants hare. Implicit belief la tbe future life; they believed (and their belief *muHt have had some foundation on fact) that the aplrits of the dead ruma back to earth to care for the relatives lh<

io is a sort of refrain every second Has. bring to lbs mind the Idear of the "Gift-God” adored by his ancestors. The principal hea­then feasts to this god are yet retained. The Koliada was celebrated by the Slavisna a t the end of December; the days then growing longer, rejoicings were made to thank the [Od for his return to his children forsaken Bring the Jongjefuter. Presents were col-

b household as sacrifice« to is peasants a gifts to each

. P m a g i f ld iact Is denoted by a,verb derived from the word k o lia tia , Another feast which was can ­ed uMaM]ealtxa,"-*od which hoe yet retained

Ite name, took place when spring woe further advanced; the S la v ia n s ----- -------lop o f a hill, where singing burnt tbs effigy of a woman, called "Mara1

Slavians proceeded to theIn a circle, they- -

relatives they had left behind, and the 8lavl- nns conseqnenttv prayed to those spirits for help and proto-thm.

The Slavians, with few exceptions, burnt the bodies of the departed.

When the Slavians were converted to Christian Ism. the simple-minded I delators, eager to emv brace to the letter the new religion, believed that all those who had passed away without baptism were doomed to roam unhappily over the earth.

« l'HILOSO FilliAL BBALl.HM.”*BT WM. KMHKTTK COLMI AN.

The readers of ih e 'J ournal uro familiar with the name of Wm. I. OHI» more especial­ly through hle publication. In recent num ­bers of the paper, of an account of bln con­nection with Sire. Eddy, the nigh priestess nf the so-called, and miscalled, Christian Sci­ence—a syrien) of thought that Is really neither Christian nor scientific. lu Mr. Gill's recent articles he baa referred to the publica­tion by him of a philosophical work as ope of his gravest offences In the eyes of Mr«. Ed­dy. It 1« this work which I now purpose to briefly examine.

The fundamental basin of this philosophy Is Egoism carried to IU extrem ist lim it. Ac­cording to Mr. Gill, the Ego, the I, the con­scious personality, is, In the absolute, the only thing in the universe. All things exterior to the organism through which the ego man­ifests are parta and parcel of the ego—they aro phenomena or modes of the ego. Evolu­tion la always a subjective process, even when external to the organism, and the whole knowable universe Is never more than tha mode« of one Individual ego. What 1« called my organism Is only an Infinitesimal fraction of the sensible phenomena of which 1 am the subject. These phenomena,-consti­tu ting the universe, are a mode of me. Evo­lution Is never the beginning and ending of successive Individual« and races, it is a l­ways exclusively a change In tha-modes of existence of th e same one lndtttdoal. The known evolving universe Is the^volhtlon of myself only. Us successi ve phase» are my­self In those forme nud processes, Hence, the so-called known p a il. Is always the present- The alleged pre-animal «talea of the universe ore a« really egotistic as any other of our ex­periences. The conscious ego existed in those states which constituted the Inorgaulc u n i­verse before the origin of any of Ita animal and vegetable forms. The nebulous ga«. which tq an extra-organic subjective state of me now, was a sensation or sentient inode of mo then. There conld be no plants or roclca or cloud* or gas before there was any living being; for these are the phenomena,-or con­scious modes, of such, and they must always Imply such. Before consciousness there was no cosmos nor nebula) nor gas, because all these are modes of consciousness. The sub­ject ego is the «ont of tHKjçdrId, and this soul of the world Is the world.

We never see other men or animals. No other man or animal seca me. What the oili­er calls me la himself, and all the evolution which he supposes he «eea la bnt a successive modification of his own Conscious self. Neith­e r onr body nor the world beyond Iiiib any -existence, except as sensible experience. No one ever directly Bees aught bnt himself; for what each person calls other people la not other people, but a mortal mask of his own creation. Each of us create« a world of his own, and Imagines It to be a real non-egòbt- tto world, common to himself and a ll oilier human beings. Organlclsts may laugh at the Idea of a man always seeing and hand­ling, embracing or Ughting, or eating and drinking only himself, and of his being barasti or crushed to death by himself, or drowned by himself, or devoured-by himself, whether in the form, of sharks or worms. But Mr. Gill thinks that this is tho only way of conceiving the present or p u t formsof our existence. The organism Is engendered or destroyed by other physical forms which are egoistic; but the ego itself never Is. so far as we know,HR ause through, oil known and knowable mutations the ego persists, else we could not know the mutations.

No 'being can be strictly the offspring or natural effect of anything In the same uni­verse, because a lt the alleged product« or off­spring of each are,himself or mode« of him­self. The child that Is Immediately known to'the parent« 1» tho parents; the alleged pa­rent Is also tho child. Barents a re -maturai causes, not of real children, but only of sign- children. which are mode« of self. TIiobo forms which we call onr parents and ances­tor* are onr vety «elves, and not onr natural

■ authors or even predecessors. All times, all spaces, are included In the vast capacity of my small Individuality. It Is, therefore, a logical Impossibility that anything In the universe should be the cans« of my existence; for, since a ll that aniverse is myself, I should then have to be my own creator, aud act with creative energy before I had an existence.

The universe—every universe—Is one, one individual; bnt a ll universe« together are not one Individual, -but many. And these are absolutely isolated from each other. Influite Taeouiffjs between them, and they can reach efech o tbff no more than the swinging of bells In airless epace will generate sound. How then can Intercommunication take pla te between Individuiti ego« or individuar universes! According to Mr. Gill, the con­nection tha t obtains between the action and utterance of animated beings 1* wholly su­pernatural,—It follows a law which tran­scends* nature and theunlverse. This super­natural appointment proceeds from God, the Influite Personality—He who la thè Creator of the universe« as well as of the super natural laws govern Lag their Intercommunication. This Deity la not In tbs universe, the latter being automatic, self-regulating.so to speak. The universe lri a living organic whole, not as the organism of Deity, but a* the working forms of the hnman spirit, as the absolute

Si>. God Is the great relative regulator of e mighty clock universes, so a« to make them keep tim e with each other. Hl.s crea­

tion I» Instantaneous and final, not continu­ous. A continueua creation Is a self-contra­diction. Instead of a pre-exclusion of su ­pernatural agency along the route-of the world’s movements as Impossible or Infinite­ly Improbable, the logical canne lx jn st the reverse. We most everywhere expect It. As God’s existence and characteristic quality as supermundane could be known only by su­pernatural manifestation, th a t quality de­mands perpetual exercise, and expression, alike from the necessity of his own nature and the need of his creatures. The old prob­ability against miracles rightly conceived and a ll toopernatural Interpositions Is now turned In fpelr favor.

Im m ortality is predicated of the ego by Mr. .. Gill. and .its annihilation la declared to be1

Inconceivable. Man, a* an Individual sub­itanee and force, dtd not begin his existence, w ith bis organic birth, innumerable were his aneceNSlve births anil' Uvea and deaths before that; for he had previously existed In every type and form from chaos up to mam­mal. Who will bellevo; who can believe, th a t the dissolution of my organism Is the o tter anolhUxUoQ of the entire univo rue? T eb that Is the «vent which constitutes my

notion; for I am the onivene, which t> r a congeries of my subjective state«.

The universe Is the low«!'

his brightness, far of him and for him are all things kuowuble. Nay, they are ho himself, modes of his action and expressions of hi« nature, and they are only Ihe lower parts of his ways, which In the change which we call death we’ll give place to n higher universe n higher order of psycho-sensible experiences, the present universe being the correlate of the succeeding universe, one ceasing that the other may begin.

Mr. GUI nfllrms the tro th of tho theory of metempsychOHls or soul metamorphosis. The ego, having successively passed through the various stages of the vegetable and animal worlds, at length reaches the humau, and In that stage the process of evolution still con­tinues,—the ego. by successive embodiments, passing through all the progressive phases of the human -existence, from the lowest forms of humanity, step by step, to the pres­ent.

Mr, GUI recognises the reality of wonder- fa] experiences in men Indicative of a latent supra-organic potver struggling for freedom and development, as manifested in clairvoy­ance, clalraqdlence, slate writing, etc. The phenomena of modern Spiritualism demand a t the very least a suspension of judgment concerning personal extinction by organic, dissolution. Doubtless there Ib a nucleus of fact la the mountain of lllu9lon-atid Impos­tor» which constitutes modern Spiritualism . Let he who says there is nothing else 111 this movement hat fraud and folly beware, lest he he found belying the oracles of the supe­rior gods.

I am not Impelled to attem pt any extended cr itiq u e of Mr. GUI’« system of philosophy, a fain t outline only of Borne of the features of which 1 have endeavored to portray above. Suffice It to say that, except lu a very few particulars, such as the' immortality of the ego and the reality of psychic and spiritual phenomena, my own views are In strong op­position to those of Mr. Gill, most of which latter seem to mo quite Irrational. I cannot possibly accept the theory of an absolutely egoistic universe. I cannot accept the cur­rent Idealistic hypotheses of the universe. 1 nm a realist. I believe that the objective universe exists p e r t e Independent of the ego, and that the ultim ate reality Is In agreement with the phases of nature as perceived by us.I believe that thediap a n -tic h . the Ihlngsdtiy themselves, exist just as we see theta; that our Htates of consciousness {which the Idcet- is is say are nil that we call possibly feel sure of, and are really the all-in-all of existence) give us genuine and measurably correct Im­

pression« of external nature as It exists, noumenally as well as phenomenally. I be­lieve, most profoundly in the 'reality, troth and absolute objectivity of the physical uni­verse as It manifests Itself to our conscious­ness; and any other conclusion, to my mind, is ridiculously absurd, aud sure of rejection by the stnrdy common sense of mankind. The material universe of suns and planets, animals, plants, men," buildings, scientific appliances, etc., Is dial a huge Illusion, born of onr con* clou «pegs, but a grand reality. To me the objective universe is Just as real as the subjective, and Its myriad forms exist as actual I tie« p e r se, with tho qualities. Hlmpn«, etc., which they present to us. It Is unneces­sary, not to say wildly chimerical, to predicate the existence of something radically differ­ent hohlnd phenomena, some unknowable something of which the phenomenal Is the manifestation. According to thin fanciful conception, when I think x see a pig, a horse, a star, a flower, the something that is r^plly there Is not, in Itself or noumenally, a pig, horse, star, or flower. There 1» something there that Impresses itself upon my con­

sciousness, but what I t Is caa never be known. AUTTrst we can know are our states of con- sdousness, and we can never know the real nature of the supposed physical objects pro­ducing those states. Such transcendental philosophy os this I And it Impossible to ac­cept. Not that Mr. Gill Is an advocate there­of; rather does he partially controvert it, pos­tu la ting the existence of the material un i­verse as an objective reality and denying the existence of any sapersons!bio m atter,—oth­erwise the unknowable reality of thlngs-ln- tbemselve«. ,

I do not believe In a «npernatnral Creator outride of tho universe, who creates Inrian- Inneotmly and manifest« himself incessantly by miracle. I do not believe In the sunorniit- ural or the miraculous, or lu any ah ex tra Deity, but In the God o f the universe, reg­nant trifhin It, and lu tin* ab-olute domi­nance of immutable law In all tilings from the Divine Being to the minutest atom.

I do not believe In the existence of the ego ax an Individuality previous to- Its m aterial birth, and I unqualifiedly reject every ves­tige of the metempsychosis theory. I do not believe tha t any hum&tp being ever .did or ev­er can live more than one life In a material body.

I nm consequently compelled to reject near­ly the whole of Mr. GUI’s peculiar philoso­phy, and I have little-fear that It will ever be accepted by the th inking world to any great extent.

It was Mr, Beecher's expressed wish that he should die as he did, enjoying his full powers up to the last sickness, and that that sickness should be brief. lip had a perfect horror of growing less vigorous mentally. He dreaded more than anything else that any sign of decay might be discovered la bis writing«, speeches or sermons.

It Is a beau­tiful thing In hnman nature—the disposition to speak well of the dead, i t I* a mean tiling In hnman nature that we are apt to postpone u n ti l 'a f te r their deceose the praises that were due the living.

TUX REV. ROBERT COLLYER’S SERMON.Since the death of Lather. 310 years .ago,

the death of no man in sacred ofllce hus eo touched the hearts of the nation«. Though he was 71 years of age no one looked upon him a« old. He was the great leader of the American pnlplt, and uoonB in this age, save the Grand Old Man In England, had so much enthusiasm, courage and ability for the work' he bad to do. His theology was* as brood os the world Itself. It was not theology bound with an Iron band such aa they would bind on a t Princeton and Andover. That Is all well enough for those who love sach bondage. Because Beecher was not boand with bonds made by man, and because of his noble work for humanity all these years, 1 thank God tha t he was not a systematic theologian, but lust the great, free reasoner we knew him to be. lie needed the whole Republic flret for his growth, and then the whole planet for his ripening. He wo« not of flowerpot

Srowth. He was a g ian t in the great woods?s well might they seek to confine Niagara

In a flower-pot. Greenwood is now ns sacred as Mount Vernon.

TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD CLERGYMAN.Jadge Osborne, of the City Court, said; “I

always felt a profound admiration and re­spect for Mr. Beecher and have regarded him as one of the greatest men of onr country and of onr age. His death Is s very t r e a t loss to our c ity ,a loss which every on? will feet personally. H is genius was marvelon». and conpled with hts strong human sympa­thies, pjpbably gave him a larger personal following than any other man In the coun­try . His death mokes a g reat gap In Brook­lyn."

Judge Henry A. Score of the County Court saldr “ What can I «ay, what words can be used to express ths sense of loss? I consid­ered Mr, Beecher one of the greatest men of oar time, and bis death Is a pa bile calamity.’*

Tho number of those present a t tbe ehnrch on one occasion who bad formerly belonged to the congregation was noticeable. Of these ex-Surroga’e Dailey spoke and paid a high tribute to Mr. Beecher, who, h a declared, had been created by God for the'age In which he lived. Other speeches wefo made by A. B. Davenport, W, B. Hoc rum, Mr. H art and Mr. HallJday. The assistant pastor said th a t be did not feel that ths time had come for him to speak fully. He wanted the people to get rid of the Idea of death, since Ur. Beecher was not dead, but alive forevermore.

MB. BEECHER'S OWN VIEW Of HELL.I f a man believes In the oonaeloua torm ent

of men, eternal, oonsclons torm ent in bell. If he ever smites, If hs ever gets married, If he ever goes Into convivial company with jest and joke, be la a monster! I have this to say, that so far as my owa personal belief Is concerned I work by bops and love, aud In- “ * _i u f o r a a l r

those words of fear tha t spring frop) lo v e - filial fear, and so on; hat, as regards the future, I believe that Christ taught simply this: That moral character went on from th is life Into the other, bearing the seme general tendencies with which men live here. In regard to tbe doctrlae of hell os taught by the barbaric theologies of the Mid­dle Ages, and as taught by tbe very many barbaric denominations, yet I say tha t It 1« not according to the mind nor tho will of the New Testament. But I do believe our Lord taught us tha t living selfishly and corruptly here would bear aucb fru its In the life to come as to make It the interest of every man to live righteously and rightly. The doctrine preached by sincere, gentle minded men wins my respect for them; H 1* for the rancorous, red mouthed men that are preaching hell fire and damnation, and going home to drink their wine and eat their bread and m eat—It Is fof, them tha t I have no allowance—be­cause this doctrine is everything—It Is every­thing if it be true, and the world ought to be in tears and pleasures ought to be unknown under such circumstances,

Mr. Sago drew the will referred to twenty-three years ago, while a member of Plymouth Church. There Is no doubt thnt a monument will be erected lo Mr, Beecher on the death of Mr. Sage, as the gentleman has declared that he Is resolved that this should be done. Mr. Sage says he did not cal] on Mayor I^iw’s committee yesterday, for the purpose of discussing the project. He simply called at the Beecher home, paid"hi* respects to the bereaved widow and then returned-ra New Tortc.

Xt* tb* IMUtlo-Pailcoophlea) Journal.THE ANDOVER CONTROVERSY.

BT H. A. CLANCY, '

It.seem s that this controversy has grown ont of the publication by an Aqdoyer theolog­ical professor of a book entltled'jProgrrtrtre O rthodoxy, with the teaching« of which ns to the question of whether the heathen rii^ll hnve an opportunity for probation in a future life much antagonism ha« been aroused among the Cohgregatloual denomi­nation; mid Prof. Brnylh, the author of the book, with cerihln other professors who ap­parently agree with his views aa therein published, ha« been placed on tria l before the Board of Visitors of Andover Theological ¿Jm lnary a* holding and promulgating .views not In accordance with the creed or the ehnrch. I t la substantially a trial for heresy In holding and teaching tha t the hea­then who have not beard of the CRririlah

■religion shall not be consigned to eternal perdition without a chance In a future life of having snch a hearing vouchsafed to. them ./ ,

Thfeo thing« are suggested by thlB/oan- troversy:

1. | The Inconsistency of this doctrine w ith the eplrlfaud progress of the age.

2. Tb« absurdity and arrogance of the foreign-miss Ion ary movement in Its present in tent and purpose.

,1. The nature of Christianity, a« d istin­guished from theological or mythological forms of religion.

F irst.' The inconsistency of this doctrine with tho spirit and progress of the age. This inconsistency was evidently.felt by the Andojer professors who are now being tried, really for heresy, though technically

''upon other grounds. Aa Intellectual men, they must have become acquainted w ith the general fact' lying a t the basis of a ll ,oar criminal jurisprudence, namely, tha t no man (shall be condemned or punished w ith­out a nearing. After a straggle ages long against the injustice perpetrated upon individual rights, the trium ph of this right to a hearing bf the accused beforeJudg-

Hvmeat Is passed open him has been finally achieved; nnd no man can now be,deprived of any personal right under tUe,law without a hearing. In fact, it may be said tha t this righ t lies a t the basis of all the great steps In development of the law,—Magna Charts, tria l by jury, and protection against unlaw- fnl seizure and confiscation. These Andov­er professors must have become Impressed w ith the fact tha t .the foreign-missionary movement Is based in total opposition to this principle.

According to the interpretation of the dog­ma as heretofore held by the denomination, the heathen are condemned to pnnlshm enl,’ 1 and tha t of an everlasting and irremediable character, If they have »not beard of the Christian scheme of salvation. This is so Clearly a t variance with the principle o f law adverted to, tha t these accused professors conld not find It In their hearts aad conscien­ce« to a ttribute !to God an act which, ac­cording to the highest standard of human thlnklDg and legal action, conld only Be characterized a« against common sense and reason, justice and humanity. E ither God Is lees jnst then man, or man, In his a t­tempts a t establishing what he conceives to bo jnstlce, Is following an igm iefa tuue , aud is, deceiving hlmself/ms to tbe very founda­tion of tro th and of-right. Again, if man so mistakes the principle of justice In gnaran- teeing a hearing before condemnation and punishment, how caa hs be aoellfied, with

ch fallacious mental constitution, to re- Im ^ B in h Jessi «

f o r « * » ,

each hearing? Is man better, more jnst, more righteous than God?

Second. The absurdity and arrogance of the forelgD-rolsrionsry movement a« a t pres­ent cònduetod are «howu, first, In the fact that It attem pts to convert to another form of religious belief a people who, In the first place, have no desire fur such conversion, nud who In the next place have a religion of ttielr own which is perfectly satisfactory to them, and I* eminently adapted lo their mental capacities, being the natural oat- growth of their mental climate, age and su r­roundings, just as are all their other instlta- tlonn. Why elmuld we iiU*-iii(ii tri force onr religion any more than onr language, or oar architecture, or any other of onr forms of art upon a people foreign to us? The fu tility of the missionary movement among the Hin­doos, with whom more effort has been ex­pended than with any other people. Is Hins- trated by tho dimeniti«« In presenting to the Hindoo mind tbe " Story of the Cm#,«. ’’ The Intelligent Hindoo listens Ip apathetic si­lence, and not being aure that ho bos beard aright, question« the mlHHlodary, we will suppose, somewhat In this w is k J

(j—You say Christ was an Incdxpatlon of your God? Yes, v.

Q—‘That he la the only Inca m at lorrynu have? Ye«.

Q—That lie suffered on the Cross for throe hours ? Yes.

Q—And then died? Yee." Well," continue« tho paller.1 and almi

able Hindoo, “ how do yon suppose yon can make any Impression with such a story aa that upon us. who have had already nine In­carnations oi|ona of our gods. Vishnu, nnd are w aiting for the tenth; who have million? of gods where you have but one, iome of whom. Instead of suffering for three hour* on a Cron«, have Buffered for fifteen hundred years by being roasted on red-hot plate* of iron, and didn’t die even then? Do you suppose your little shriveled theology can make any Impression upon ns? We are satisfied with our own religion, and can only suggest to you,- in a friendly spirit to jcIVe over all attempts a f such delusi ve undertaking.!! your theology suit« you, our* suits us. ”

We may well suppose that such as» answer m ast be discouraging to tbe honest and sin­cere Christian missionary. How to meet such a «tote of tniud In the heathen I* no easy taak; and many a poor missionary has felt tho difficulty and labored with utmost effort, but vainly, to overcome it.

Now Let us suppose the missionary. Instead of going to the heathen to teach him a new religion of which ho has do conscious need, goes with the request to.be taught what the Heathen may have to Impart. Itera la on en­tirely new relation of the parties and shows at least modesty on .the part or the mission­ary,- The heathen, Instead of being put upon the defensive, I* In the position cl a host en­tertain ing a guest, and does his best to lm-

fiart tho required knowledge? No antagon­isms are aroused; on the contrary, friendly

relations are established; and It 1« not un­reasonable to suppone that, after having sa t­isfied the Inqnlrlps or the missionary, the heathen will be In a position, mentally, not only to receive something In return from hi* guest, but will bn Inclined to make Inquiries concerning a religion which he may sup­pose- differs from his own. We can well Im­agine that, with such' cordial relations be­tween the parties, much more progress can bé made In the way of enlightening the hea­then os to the excellence and superiority of tho Chrlitlan over the heathen system o f re- llglon.

Third. This brings ns to the consideration of the^tbfrd point suggested by tho famous controversy, which la, what la the renllv d is­tinguishing characteristic of the Christian over other forniH of religion, tha t Is, if It has any each characteristic? It Is evident that, so far as the mlraentoa« element Is con­cerned, tho _£hrytlan has no preeminence over other forms,"fifr, as may be shown, the Hindoo Is vastly superior to tbe Christian In this respect. Where the Christ Ian lias hut one God, the Hindoo has million*, and, as be­fore stated. w|iere theJ^ iristlan has hut one Incarnation, tho Ululino has already nine and 1* wailing for a tenth. Beside* these special element«, the whole scheme and scope of the Brahmin leal theology or mythology Is so much more gorgeous and wonder-chal­lenging, eo much more full of the m iracolerà and almost unimaginable, tha t the Christian appears a t great disadvantage when com­pared Vrlth It. -

Now If there Is an element distinguish In f the Christian religion It must be found In some other direction than the miraculous, though i t Is evident It Is not entirely destitute of th a t even. Let ns eee If we can find w hat th a t element Is; and to do this we cannot do better than constili tbe record of tho teach­ings or It* rounder. He laid no partloctar stress .upon tbe wonderful miraculous charac­ter of hts works bnt did call special attention to tbe i to rd e which he nttered. He says: ’

’* Heaven and earth shall pass away, but ray words shall not pass away. H erelB a pre­em inent importance attached to his words. Indicating some quality In them which he deemed superior to -all other things. Wliat la this quality? He gives on answer to this qnestlon In no uncertain language. At an ­other point he says: “ The «cord* which I speak unto yon, they are life and they are tru th ," If these are tbe subitanee of his words, we ran a t once understand that "Hfe" and " tru th ” »re not snbject to change, bat most be considered as esternai, enduring even after heaven and earth should pass swsy. If th Is view be -Correct, we can also / understand th a t these element", life and tru th , which were tbe eesence of the words which he spoke, are not addressed, like m ir­acles, to ihe mere wonder-loving human sen­tim ent, but must be cognized by the higher - powers of reason and judgment, brcanee life and tru th are not visible, addressing them­selves to the « tte rn a l se d see, bd\ are. per­ceived or understood by the rations! facul­ties. ,!& otner words, the true C hrlslltn re­ligion la not apprehended by observation, bnt eqmea to n a n s consciousness through tbe development of his interior, spiritual nature, - by meditation and contemplatJon of the " words” uttered by Its founder. Or, to state tbe m atter In still dlfferen^form . true re­ligion Is of purely spiritual growth emana­ting from a spiritual source, and ad­dress lug Itself to tho spiritual Dature of mao, and bringing him In to harmony wtth the law s and principles of universal bet o f . -

It needs no demonstration to the ep lrllu ii- ia t that, under this definition, Bplrlloallem Is essential and true religion; and tha t w hat­ever Is eternal aod endarlng In all fòrms of religion, whether Christian or heathen. Is the spiritosi element to be found In them, and - which preserves them from u tte r and, en ti re destruction. "Heaven aud earth shsll pose away, bnt my words [which are life -and tru th] shall pot puss away. ”

The government is- convinced now, that Hit- higher educnlloti of women with men tends to elevate ra ther than lower them.

TRAINED NUIUife*.Chartes F . Wingate, the eminent philan­

thropic sanitary euglnoer, writes In this way concerning woman’s work:

**Thn truest friends of the poor are the trained nurses who visit them In distress, bring food, medicine, and, better s till, tbe inestimable gift of personal sympathy and Intelligent Instruction. The «Impie «tory of the dally work of these nurses is most affect­ing. No women are mors truly m inistering angels. Few sacrifices could be greater to a person of refinement than to remain for an hour.ln a squalid tenement, making the tire, bringing water from, the hydrant, bathing the sick mother, and combing her greasy lock«—in short, performing the moat menial service cheerfully and heartily. By such ser­vices these missionary nurses make warm friends of their patient« and their neigh­bors, and prepare the way for. wonderful re­

formation«, I have seen women who had for­merly been wretched drunkards, clothed and In their right inlnds. Ip decent borne« with their children about them.“

This testimony agrees with tha t giveft by the best men and women and by reason, viz.: that individual effort Is necessary to help any reform. Units compose the mass, and the work must be for and with units.

PrlMtjrart Then and Now.Not by watching the psssago of monthif

in d years, bat of generations anil epochs, can we note the progress of hnm tulty. Often fol­lowing a zigzag or tortuous course like a railway which winds upon Itself In ascend­ing a mountain, mankind more« forward even when appearing to go backward. Probably a celestial engineer can see, that, on the whole, the path taken la the beet under the circumstances. To the earthly observer It would seem that to bridge a chasm here, or take a short cut upasteepg rade there , would be a saving of tim e and strength, but neither the workmen who construct the road nor the instrum ents they use, are perfect. Every generation brlugs, or-should bring. Increased wl&om to the task of oonstraetlon, and eve­ryone criticises its predecessor,as It is Itself criticised in torn. And still the work goes onward and upward.‘ In “Tho Emancipation of Massachusetts,”

by $rooke Adams, a grandson of John Quincy Adams, we are broagbt face to face with the path by which the colonists Jourueyod neatly three centurion ago. It was n rugged and bitter passago to higher and belter condi­tions, mads so not only by natural obstacles but by the bigoted rale of a prlehlly class. The book Is a stern Indictment of the meth­ods of those sacerdotal engineers.

I t Is not necessary lo go over the persecu­tions of Quakers and witches, but tt Is well to note that these terrible cruelties were committed a t the instigation o f priests, if only to show the difference between that tim e and this. It needed then but a faintly expressed doubt of. some technical pojnt of Calvanlatlo theology to cast tho doubter Into prison, to whip him till he weltered in blood, toffrag him through snow In bitter, wintry wpktl^r, and to despoil him of his possessions And bahlsh him to a distant and desolate p rov lnceN ^ud all these enormities and more, sometimes ending In the death of the victim under the most frightful series of cruelties, came about because the doubter had a heart more fa ll of love and charity than his persecutor«.

The narrow zeal which committed crimes lu the name or the Christian commonwealth It sought to establish, has' passed away for­ever. Church and State were one, and tb a f one the Chnrch, in the dream of the gover­nors and officers of the colony. Chnrch mom- ben , only, were allowed the franchise, and the gospel was preached la anything bnt a Christian spirit. The whole tone of that nar row, bigoted, restricted life, was as different from that of this life, as If the two belonged

■to separate planets.Yet, It cannot be denied that they possessed

some virtue« which their descendants would do well to remember. Respectful to their pa­rents aud elders, counting the real and In­visible as above the temporal and perishable, they believed In many things heartily and honestly, though blindly; and tha t belief which permeates the whole nature, and makes the fat ore of tremendous Import, produces stalw art and sturdy men, nut light aud Idle triders. Mental emancipation and the des­truction >of priestcraft has failed to destroy the imperishable fruity of such vital qualities.

Not so very long" ngo aud the priest was set beyond -and above the pale of common life. L iving on a platform before which men bowed reverently, ha was regarded as something higher and better than other», K was enough to spoil the wisest and beet; It made the weak wicked and tyrannical. No surer method can be devised to ru in a man than to eel him on a pinnacle and regard his utterances as orp-

weaknesaes. Hero worship bore some of Its usual fruitage. It was not women only who wore subject to his psychological power; many men were his veriest slayes.

Breadth nod generosity, sweetness and ten­derness, spontaneity and variety, these were all Included in tho sources of bis power. It is curious to note that.thongh priestcraft lias lost Its hold upon social Hfo, the priestly in ­fluence remains wherever the psychological power Is great.

Such men as Beecher, largo of lung, ample In girth, full of stature, ara great reservoirs of magnetic force, which they rapidly gather from food, a ir, sunshine and all the resources of an abuhdaut and''exhaustloss nature. Ministered unto, also, by admiring friends aud associates, they grasp with unconscious selfishness th e ‘vital life of their compan­ions. Bat whatever Is thus absorbed they pour out In full measure, roalchle^s bursts of eloquence whenever they are Inspired by the theme aud the audience. A focus of magnet­ic light and warmth they reflect back upon their hearers whatever they have stored, and mon look up to them with something of that awe and wonder with which the priest of three centuries ago was regarded.

The same sentences enunciated by an a t­tenuated, bloodless man, would carry little weight, except to those of sim ilar tempera­ments. Moat persons are susceptible through magnetism flowing from a largo seml-lunar ganglion; It is only the few who are lu sym­pathy with a fluer aud higher development. The philosopher alone understands how and why those of very fine and high spiritual tem­perament find ** fit nudlBnce thongft few.”

lngersoll on M'Glynn.

The vast amount of padding required to make one of the blanket sheets which ti dally press inflicts upon Us Sunday patrons is something wonderfnl to behold. The only m erit this filling has Is the wage-earning op­portunity It offers to printers. A specimen of this stuffing is a copyrighted article Id last Sunday's edition of a Chicago paper, un­der the attractive title of " Ingersoll oo M’Glynn. The Great Positivist's Opinion of ■ Noted Controversy.” The lawyer who has gained more renown antagonlxlng theology than he did In ' Qghtlug southern confede­rates, repeats & large part of the lecture which he has been declaiming for years un­der different titles to large and mixed audi­ences. All there Is In this "essay” about M’Glynn, his action and thé principles It Is based upon, can be p u tln twenty. Unes; the remainder of the two colnmns may be found In newspaper reports of the " positivist's " lecture or In either of his books.

The only additions the J ournal would sug­gest'to make this copyrighted contribution completely characteristic of its nutborWould be to attach b is’1 opinion of civil service re­form and of the legal profession. “ The law­yer,” says Ingersoll, “Is merely a sort of Intel­lectual strumpet, lie la prepared to receive blg-fees, and make the beet of either side of any ease. He Is a sort of burglar in ths realm of mentality.” Of civil service reform, this high authority on religion, law, ethics and po­litical economy said In his defence of Squire: "Civil Service reform la the lost refuge of nn unsuccessful politician, self-denial run mad, a combination of absurdity and hypocrisy.” A man !s continually photographing his real character by mouth or peu. Do ths forego­ing glimpses reveal a character on which the tolling masses can rely fordevollon to their interests? Do they satisfy the rich that In the Impending crisis Justice will be the guid­ing principle of this noted platform orator and professional protector of criminals?

Psychical Subjects In Secnlar Papers.

The rapidly Increasing space given to psy­chical matterà by the dally press, evidences tbs wide and growing Interest oftbe. general public. The Sandusky (Ohio) D a lly Iieffieter has a correspondent lu Washington, who writes most Interesting letters. Below the J ournal gives the first paragraph of one published lately by the f ie g ii te r :

Till moat remarkable newipaper Ibat I know of la one published In Chicago aud a i l e d the Re l k u O- Philosofhigal Jolhnai.

The Book Oommlttee of the Methodist church met la New Tork la it month, and •orne facta 1® their reporta are good atadle« for Spiritual tela,' l a the p u t year, 18,070.500 numbers of Methodist publlcations w en prin­ted. Total of books and periodicals sold In

six hundred dollars from-, John Dickens, Rb hook steward and founder, who Issued lie first book. " Im itation of Christ,” a Catholic book or great spiritual fervor, translated by John Wesley,—who hod agon ías for good things of tha t kind, and waa broad enough to like them whether from Catholic or Protest­ant.

This great growth tells of a deal of church pushing or managing not wholly commend­able; but tt tells, too, of a great deal of deep and earnest de voted mw« and self-sacrificing work, which is commendable and worthy of all imitation. Spiritualists often declare that they have tho best gospel in the world. Are they doing their beet to promulgate It? Or are they paying fifty dollars a year for pew and preacher in some popular church that falls to half meet their epirltunl wants, and a dollar or two to some spiritual speaker or medium? Do they pay one-tenth as much, to sustain oar journals and circulate uu^excel­lent books as they pay for the same ends In abate One chnrch?

We do not donbt bnt that, if the Spiritual­ists In the range of country over which the Chicago Methodist book depositary reaches, bought as many books In proportion to their means and numbers ps the McthodUts do, we should have a large Increase of sales. Equal­ly well would Ibis apply to tho circulation of our Journals. I t 1b fortunately true that the fear of the wrath of God and of eternal tor­ment are not scourges to drive people Into the support of Spiritualism, or of any form of HtwraTtaUh, but shall we not do more for tbe-love of heaven than from the fear of bell? Id apostolic language« It may well be said, “ Beloved brethren, think of these things.”

The Tyranny or Labor,

The"t}*qnny of tabor Is sometimes as cruel and bnjuatAe that of capital. An Imtance of this kind 1b tho action taken lost Sunday by the carpeuters of this city. Last week they made a demand for eight himrs’ work a t thirty-five cents an hour. In some cases this demand was compiled with, Id others the employers offered to compromise, and hereafter to make new building contracts on a basts tbat would enable them to pay the price demanded. Oil Sunday last a t a mass meeting of union carpenters, a resolution was adopted to the effect tba t uo union car- penter return to work until a ll are reinstated a t the advance, and that a ll the bosses will­ing to concede the demand be compelled to assist the anion la forcing the others to do likewise.. Ah do reporters were allowed at the meeting only ths drift of the resolution* can be given a t this writing. The managers of the Carpenters* Union St will bo seen pro­pose to domineer over bosses who have al­ready met the advance and compel them to shut up business and become emlssarle] of the Union In the effort to force a ll the .bosses Into the Advance. It Is unnecessary to dilate Upon the gross unfairness of this scheme, it will be apparent to any lover of jnstice after five minutes' consideration. This action la unquestionably Instigated by the covert an ­archists whose tools the carpenters unwit­tingly allow themselves to become. The Jojjrnal hopes that the better judgment of these men will gain ascendency and that they will keep atrldtly within the limits of Justice.

Hence alt a lover of ** forty-rod ” whisky need do, Is to affirm the nourishing quality of his beverage and deny tha t It Is Intoxicating.

I t Is certain tha t their so-called reflglous ceremo­nies which wo witness here, are, for the most purl, intended to propitiate some kind of de­mon aud tg.jya|d_off evil. Sacrifices are of­fered, not to /g s la favor with a beneficent deity, but to please apd mollify some evil spirit whose powers of mischief are enor­mous, and whose wrath must be appeased by offerings of pigs an'l chickens and his nos­trils tickled with odor of fire-crackers. Thia Is the kind of religious observance to which wo are accustomed among the Chinese, and the only religion they possess, so far as can be a s c e r ta in e d T h e r e are plenty of white people In this country whose worship is j f r r same, differing only*ln degree and fervor.

Bishop, the mind reader, entertained a large andlenco a t the Colombia Theater last Monday evening with his experiments. He gained great applause by delivering an en­velope to a lady In the audience which con­tained a card npou which her name was written by Mr. H. D. Russell, a member .of the stage committee. It was at first thought by some that Mr. Russell -Was merely a con­federate In collusion with Mr. Bishop, bnt when it was ascertained that he was a mem- - ber of the Board of Trade, all thought of fraad was a t once put aside, as a m atter of course.Mr. Blahop also succeeded la giving the num ­ber on a bank note.

tv tb* sailor v€ lb* JJrilAtD-niUoacsIikot JournosThe Spiritualist* of Utica N. Y.. celebrated

In an enthusiastic manner the 39th Anni­versary of Mwlern Spiritualism at Harugarl ball. The room was neatly decorated with flags and flowers. J . C, Howe, jr.. introduced the speakers of the session, M l» Carrie Dow­ner of BaldwInsvlUv, and Mm, 3. A. Walter of Auburn. After singing, Mra. Waller of­fered on Invocation, a ll» Downer then ad­dressed tlie meeting upon the subject of Spiritualism as It Is to day. Among other tliingd «lie said: “Thirty nine years ago modern Spiritualism visited the bumble home of the Fox girls.- Dorn In ohscuflty, and un­der conditions perhaps hot of the beat. It has yet flourished. To-day we have the religion of the world. No religion ever given to tti£ masses was so completely adapted to their needs. It Is founded upon a scientific phil­osophy. Those who scoff at modern Spirit­ualism forget that we have a revelation not written In the books, direct from the spirit- land. When a soul needs consolation. Spir­itualism lends a helping hand. We n»ve grander revelations than were common In ancient days, because we have more knowl­edge, You may not reap all you have sown as Spiritualists, bdt the result will come, whether yott see them or pot. Spiritualism has blown away the creeds and theories of the olden time, and Introduced a new phil­osophy. The reason It doe«'not meet a wid­er acceptance is because humanity Is not yet ready for tt. Miss Downer slated Hint ortho­doxy was la Its death struggle and that Spir­itualism Is destined to take its place. She made & number of sim ilar assertions. The reason people do not understand the fall measure of what .Spiritualism has done Is beeamo they can noj see what hpe been done In the ‘beyond.* 1"

After this address Mrs. Walter, who Is a test medium, gave a large number of tesla. She stated that there were a large number of Bplrlts present and Rnxiotis to communi­cate with persons In iho audience. Fathers,' children, sisters, babes in arm* and husbands And wives were said by Mrs. Walter to op-

Ka r to her, anil she gave the messages that ey brought to the persons for whom they were intended. O ne-spirit, whom the me­

dia m described as an "old gentleman, tall End slim, with long hair, blue eyes, fair complexion and a prominent forehehead,” was eald to be looking for bie eon among those1 present, bat failed to And him. The morning session closed with these testa and farther singing.

AVTERNOON SESSION.In the afternoon the sente were again well,,

filled. After appropriate opening services. Chairman J . C. Rowe introduced as the speak­er of the afternoon Rev, K, P. Powell of Clin­ton. lie opened his address In a conciliatory spirit that had Its effect In preparing the audience for receiving good naturediy any­th ing In opposition to their beliefs tha t he might express. The Spiritualists of to-day. he said, are in too much of a hurry; they leap to conclusions. The question of lmmor­tality , which is prominent in their religion, cannot be settled-until the question of the existence of God has been disposed of. He therefore Insisted on treating this question as antecedent to all others. Dwelling a t length on tbs 1st« achievements of science, he quot­ed a late confession from Hnxley to the ef­fect that beneath all the phenomena of evo­lution and behind the upward moving pro­cession of life there is a something which he" could not resolve into forms of m atter and force. The speaker claimed, with Profes­sor Cope of Boston and others, th a t there is a conscious purpose la nature, and that how-

low one may descend In the animal Iv aimless energies are ex-

e, which Is

aayseale, the apparently almlfrss energies are ex­pressions of this eopscloas purpose, which Is behind .all evolution, and which ho calledGod.

After n short address by J . C. Rowe the ao- dlence sang and then Mrs. 3. H. Walters, the teat medium, gave an exhibition of her pow­ers. She went about the room while in the trance and talked to many In the audience as spirits of their friends.

Miss Carrie Downer was then introduced and Improvised poetry upon stahjecte which were given to her by the different persons In the audience: ''Science," "More Light," "Troth" and "Liberty." Miss Downer is a eloader, delicate looking lady and her Im­provisation anuer the direction of the con­trolling spirit was quits wohderful.

' EVENING BE5SI0N.At the evening service the hall was crowd­

ed, and a number of gentlemen were com­pelled to eland. Olhers were ntjable to get in under any circumstances. David Wu-llains of Utica read a somewL.it lengthy pa­per. He claimed that the tiny r ip heard a t Hydeavltle 39. ago ushered In a new

Mar. 29th, tfnis perhaps, the most brilliant and enter­ta in ing event ever witnessed among spiritual circles In this city. As the event whs given under the auspice« of the Kxcelslor Club, members of that society were distinguished b£ a neat\badge of blue. The .programme was arranged and executed lit a manner creditable to u much larger society. The en­tertainm ent was opened by Prof. K&nffman’s orchestra, whose good tasto In musical se­lections waa highly appreciat'd. Mr. Frank Algerton. the talented yonng speaker of the Yoarfg People*« Society, made aslio rt but ap­propriate address. He speak« Inspirational­ly, and his addresses are always worthy of the praise they receive. A vocal duet by the Misses Olive and Lula Lange l won a hearty applanse. as did also a German recitation, entitled “Ballsy and I are oudt," by Mr. A. L. Coverdale. Mr. George Perry, whose musical ta len tT s quite extensive, delighted the as­sembly with a whistling solo and zither ac­companiment and also a vocal solo. Mr. Richard Falrclough, the presiding olllcer of the evening. rMLed, "Bernardo del Carplo,” a recitation only to be appreciated by the ta l­ent displayed in Its execution, and the gen­tleman In quest Ion did full jnstlce to It. The sweet .voice« of Miss Lulu I.angel and Miss Ida Woodberry, which often delight the many home circl»« and private assemblies, were greeted with round after round of applause. "S ta rtlin g Revelations” was the subject of a recitation by Miss Carrie Preadmore. The gracefnl manner In which It wo« executed more than pleased the attentive and appreci­a te « audience. A cornet solo by Prof. Simp­ler, and a recitation by Mr. Evan Morion Im­mediately after were both encored. Though the hour was now getting Isle and the dancer« anxious, Mr. Gus Maxim efemptetely tarued the wave of impatience by a comic banjo solo, entitled, •* What a great day tbat’ll be.” The Excelsior Quartette dosed the en terta in ­ment by flinging. “ Come where the lilies bloom,” and afterward by au original qaar^ tette, "The KxceUlor Club " ‘ l f

Mrs. Ahrens was then invited by the Presi­dent of the Young People's Society and also of the Excelsior Club to make a few remarks. Her a d d r e s s was short aqd sweet.

The aid of a ll was asked fo r the new society« and to-night the'39th anniversary of Modern Spiritualism to be the commencement of spiritual progress among the jodDi of Amer­ica. A more worthy speaker couM not have been chosen for the occasion, and the soul- Inspiring thoughts seemed to fill all with an aspiration to aim a t naught but the boun­tiful and the good.

Dancing was then In order, and while the

I dealre lo expra« my mlnd lo regard to the re­cent ew«al» la materializingcirci,e«,''i5 chronicled In

dy conducted töchsat,, Iyour valuable and.ably ______ _could not do ao more forcibly If I were to write a week.-than by quoting your own earn ret word« to me:

“There 1* no peace, safety nor progreae far ration­al order-loving Spiritualist#, hut to eharply draw ihe lino between thrmaalwea and this class of fraudu­lent pretender* hi a phase of inrdlutiuhlp they do not reatly pose see, and the no l<*a reprehensible d u e” who, knowing In their own mind* that the ao-called medium* are dlahoneet and unscrupulous, «till up­hold uud recommend them, for any reason, oven leat the cause of Spiritualism should »utter If they are exposed.

I believe with you Lint dean Spiritualism suiter* and Is most heavily handicapped by every one of those exposure*; or, per hep«, 1 ihould nay, by the need of euch exposure«; but I sincerely nope and trust that the searching and sifting proem may be carried no faithfully nod unsparingly till the ranka are cleared of all that binders progress In true spirit­ual growth.

At present, we who darn remonstrate against the glaring Incooslsteodea and Immoralities among* many mediums, are condemned and oslradxed u unworthy tbe name of Spiritualists, because, for­sooth, having “«Iced for bread and received a stone,*’ we warn oar friend* against spending “money for that which Is not bread, and labor for that which ealtofielb not"among llwee people.

Personally, I have no Ill-will against any medium or supporter of mediums, but words fall me to ex­press tuy abhorrence of their method* In many In- *lan«s, to catch the unwary Inveattgator, not alone by presentation of skilfully adjust»] baby form* or adult visitors, but no less by cunningly contrived ‘•teats" gathered diligently for Just such use, from •very potable source.

Bat a* I hare often said, I believe that out of all this filth the pare white lilies of spirit Ir'ulh will roach the surface, and not far In tbe future, let asbone that nur beautiful philosophy will take He rightful pisce ns Ihe religion of tbe world. We ■hail have fewer phenomena.^?), no doubt, but farmore facta, and thè cultivation ni spiri mal gì fi* In tbe bon» elicle and thè “fruita or tbeaplrtt" of whfch thè «rat. G anello. Paul, wroto, wlli render dulie mi périmons thè servi«* of (ridesterà and con­federale* lo prove tbat, “Ita man die, he shall Uve aglio."

I pmy fi od lo speed every boneat medium and every true eeeker after Ughi, and al wbatever cosi or populei Ity or favor, of mlsrepresentatlone or con­damnation, moet unbf*Uatlng!y array myaelf on thè side of ton« wbo cry, “Lei usbare gehulne «pirli minHestallons or no phenomena," and pare Snirft- uallsm and eplrltoilily, tnetead of thè continuel“seeking for a alito,"

-Il LUI:*It Is not medium« nlon« who are responsible for these ahuese. They strive to »apply a demand which 4 unnatural and insatiate. Old Spiritualist«, aa widl aa new core, and InvMtlgalora who bate never spent a moment In study of (be laws of psychology and eplrit control, night after night, week after week, and year after year, go clamoring about for team and malerlallzaUoDs, never trying In learn why this light of spirit bis come more nearly to the world during the post tew yean,"nor to make their lives more helpful and useful for tbe beanLUul ministra­tion of angola which have come to them: but dis­puting and arguing about the relative excellence of rival exhibition* and denouncing with unsparing pen or tongue all who dare ask for purer condition# In tbe «'unce room.

It 1«, Indeed, lime to call a bait, and eee Into what a morass of filth and decay we are being led., with oor beautiful banner of truth becoming Despal ter ed and bedraggled. I wlebyou luceras In every ef­fort to rescue It from total obscuration

On Thursday night It was found that unlees ar­rangement# for the Iblrly-hluUi anniversary of Spir­itualism, usually oWired about March IFUb, could t«s made al onoe there might be soma difilculiy In«ecuring the speaker* desired. Accordingly the of- licer* nt once beeil rr«! thenwelvee, and Friday madeannoimcemodt that three service* would bo held,on Sunday, Maich SOth. At HOD the, services were opened with Mrs. C. Fannie Allyn as tbe first speak­er. Oil her call for aubjecla some extracts from n recent pqbHibrd article In The Open Court, by Mon- curo t’onw.ij’, entitled “ Unitarian Uni ami It# Grand children," urns banded up and read. The pur- fKirt of (he [«per and comment upon It wu:

“ ‘That the World Is fashioned by evolutionary force#, and whlly, according to statistics, Unitarian- lent appear* nne of the emiller sects, It Is In reality, one of the largest. It« egge are batched Id other nests, nnd ths teaching of Chinning, Emerson andTheodors Porker are found cropping out Id pulpits‘ “ . — . - - - Ti thatof other eects. The late Dean Stanley said while he w u lo America every sermon be preached had some of Chinning In it, and CTery sermon be heard was largely finm Emerson. Yet he did not attend any Unitarian church.’ So It was with Spir­itualism and Its fact*. While the old sectarians openly repudiate nnd denounce the phenomena and revelations, they eecrelly Investigate and quietly preach tbe truth» they learn to congregation« who accept them whin thus heard. The truth* referred to by Mr. Conway were not only tbe grandchildren of unttarlanlim, but they were the grandparent* a* well. Among other (objects given we* one regard­ing the rise and fall of empires. Many people have believed that anarchy would follow the fall of an empire, but It has been proved that there It alway« tbe people lo fall bock upon. Tbe old tMChlug l* tbat God made man In bis own Image, when the irnthls that each tuan forms a God from bit own conception* nnd according lo bis own Idea«.„ As In former lime« people believed in revenge end retalia­tion, so they taugflt (tot God war a Mag with likn passions. John Ctitio taught of a God who would putilth lo all eternity, and lie showed bis faith by ournlog'MIchnvl Servrtua. John Murray, on tbe con­trary, had ao damnation In lila soul. neither bad tba God be told nbmt. Spiritualism celebrate« It« anni­versary to-day because by 11« leaching«, unxa Is not afraid of death nor life either. It does not reel upon the testimony of any number of witneeeea, toiion the law which Is open to every one to Investigate. Christianity any* believe and be saved, doubt and be dstnoed. Spiritualism soys do and be saved, Cbrle-tlantty tertdde questioning nnd luTeellgatlon, while Spiritualism I« continually urging Investi gallon.Where would the world have been If the old record»- bed been bald to and snl Inve*ilgkted7 In the older times (he church was held to be a doe* corporation, but In nor day* the door baa been gradually opened and Melhodlate, Baptists and other sects allowed to enter until even UnivtraaUalatt and aome Unitarians have gone In.”

Spending sfew dayaal Onset Bay last suinmor, I wna Invited by Mlm Heteo C, Barry, of tb e "Barry Statar*," to attend bar lait regular «rance of the««son. There was, as usual a lafge gathering and

‘ ‘ ‘le room. Wh*oI occupied a seat at the rear part of th« the edsne# was about half through a form «ratería tired some four feat In front of the cabinet, coming up suddenly, aa It were, out of Ihe carpet. Mr, Albro, tbe efijeisut conductor, said, “Hr. Moore, hare I* a lady who wish« to see you.” I wae taken by sur­prise, for ol no (dance which I had ever before at­tended, either at the Berry . Sisters or the various other mediums had n spirit cimie to me lir l hat way (L e„ by materializing outside the cabinet) aa I ap­proached her ahu said, “Good evening, Boclor." Being some whit closely veiled, I did not at first rec­ognize her, and asked, “Who Is it?”

“Why, don’t you know roc. Doctor? It Is Nellie Berrj," partUlly'reuiorlog her rail.

Noticing my mat# astonishment (for I can aaanra you that wa# my feeling for tbe moment), she «Id. “Come with me to the light," nnd she actually led me d o « up toll In the corner of the room, and en­tirely icmtjtintr tier tell with both hand«, ¿ud se ll­ing. pul her face within a foot nf mine, kqjjuire eoough there stowl Nellie Berry (vhu w u the m«l lu m for the v i n a then progressing), Her face was semi-transparent, clear and soft na tbat of child.

Having returned lo our poiillou near the cabinet, she still noticing my bewlldermenl, said, “Why, Doc­tor, y c i saw the way I came did yon not?"

“Yea," I replied.“Well, I shall return In the same manner,” wa#

her reply.I «aid, "Nellie, will you please give uw some test?"

Sbe gave me tba strongest lest that she could poe- slblyliaie given.

Having partially recovered from my surprise, I said, “Nellie, will you plea»« com* with me again to the light?" Sb» readily oasented, and this lime tho light shone full In lief faccy and before me stood Nellie Berry unmistakably.

Agahrwe. returned to our former position, when she said,(Mintingtobar own person,“Doctor,tbl* Is all there * of Nellie Berry, My body I» lying lu yonder on tfioeofa" (pointing to tbe cabinet).

J said, “Nellie, I am to return with you after the st ance to the cottage Whence you came. l)n our way tblther, please speak to me of this marvelous occurrence for I shall not allude to It tiff you have. Sbe then took ber position to demateriallze in front pl-ttre-aabloel, and I returned part way to roy 'seat, wbebslioccuned to me that, with ber permis­sion, I wontiTrelato to the audience what had token place. 1 returned and asked her permission, bat she refused, saying, “No, Doctor, I would not hare-------know tt for tbe world." Thl>la«l sentence wasto me a very remarkable tesl, and explained why she camedoeelj veiled nt IhecummencemenL I returned to my Mat, and, as «he came, so «he went (as she had said), dematorialliing In presence of some thirty la­dle« nnd gentlemen,

Mrs. Amanda M, Spence nnd Mrs. Lita Barney Sale«, who were sitting within tlx or eight feet of where this occurred, watching our movements, were much Interested and questioned me about It at tho clo« of the •■ unce.

Ml» Berry and I loft the sconce room for the col­lage where «be was temporarily slopping, nnd her first worda to me on our exit were, “ Well, Doctor, did you Imre a good n'ance?’

“Excellent,’’ F replied.“Did you eee any one you know?’“One.” wa* said after a hearty laugh. I asked,

“Did this ever occur with you before, Nellie?’“Nq," wa* her reply, and (hen (aa we were now

nearing hrr cottage), eho gave this brief explana­tion: “While entranced in the cabinet, I said to ’Cbarlle,’ [her control J, now I am a eplrit with the rest of you, and why can’t I materializo and go out?’

He replied, "You can Uy," nnd the facte, aa above related, are the result.

The tiromptoQ Hospital for consumptive», Iu Lon­don, reports tbat over fifty people out of every hun­dred consumptive*, are victims of constipated or In­active kidneys.

Consumption Is one of oar national diseases, and the above report goes to prove wbal baa often bean aalil In oar colnmns during the Inst eight years, that kidney troubles nr* not only the cause of more than half of the Case« of consumption, but, of ninety out of evrry burned other common disease*. They who hava taken this position, made their claims after elaborate investigation, nnd their proof tbat they have discovered a specific for the terrible and steal­thy kidney-diseases, which have become an prevalent among ue, Is wise and convincing.

We Lave recently received from them a fresh sur* ply of, their wonderful advertising. They hare challenged (he medical profession ami science to In* vrs igrtle. Tvey have Invest*), and (hose who are frank baTe a Indited I be truth of their statement*. They claim that ninety per cent, of disease* come origioslly from Inactive kidneys; that these inactive kidneys allow the Plnod b> become filled with rule acid potton; that'this uric add poison In the blood carries disease through every organ.

There I* enough uric acid developed In the sys­tem within twenty-four boars to Kill half a dozenIDftOs

TbU being a scientific fad, it requlrea only or­dinary wisdom to see ihn effect Inactive kidney* mnvl have upon lb# system. *

If Ibis poison Is noi removed, it rolna every organ. If the bowel*, stomach or liver become Inactive, we know Itat once, but other organs bejp theta out.' If the kidneys become constipated and dorrnani, the warning corn*»» later on, and often when ill« too late, became the effects are remote from the kidneys nnd those organs are not suspected to be out of order.

Organs tbat are weak and dlSeosrd ore n cable to real*! lb# attacks of ibis' poison, and the dlseoxe often tokee the form of and Is treated as n local af­fliction, when In reality the real caufci of the trouble was inactive kidneys. __ \

Too many medical menof the present day hold wbal wa* a fact twenty year* ago, that kidney dls* ease Is Incurable, according to the medicine* autho­rized by tbelr code. Hence, they Ignore the origin­al otVue of disease Itself, and give tbelr attention to useleas treating of focal effecbi.

They dose lbs patient wllb quinine, morphine, or with salt! and other physics, hoping tbat thus nature may cure lbs disnaee, while the kidnejt continue to waste away with Inflammation,, ulcernLlon and decay, and ihsfvlctim eventually neriahra.

Tbs earns quantity of blocs) tbat pease* through the heart, peases through the kldnefX, If tba kid­ney* are dlseaatd, the blood soaks up this disease and takes It all through tbs system. ! Hence It is, that the claim te made tbat Warner1* safe cuts, the Coir known apeclflo‘Tor kidney dUeafcs, cur«* 90

r crot- of human iVnenta, became* It, and It alone, able lo mslntklrpl^s natural 'activity or tb« kld-

e and remove the,uric add, or______ as It le formed.' V

_ ft» not removed, there Is Inh^Uvlty of .dnsya, and there will be produced In th« syttem

'»lysis, apoplexy, dyspepsia, .consumption, heart__an##, bead-aches, rheumstiim, pueucuoc,potency, and al) the nameless disease# of t women. If the poisonous matter U separated from the blood, as fast as U la formed, these diseases] tn a majority of cue« would not^xlvt.

It only requires a particle of small-pox virus to nradufie that file dleMra, and th* polsoooua matter from the kidney«, pawing al) through the system and becoming lodged at different weak point», is equally distinctive, although more disguised.

If It wore possible for us to see Into the kidneys, and bow quickly the bleed passing throogb them goes to the heart and lungs and other parts of tb* system, carrying' this deadly virus wllb It, all would believe without heeltaUoo what has so often been slated In advertlimeale In these coin mo*, that tb* kidneys are tb* most Important organ* In the body.

They may regard this article as an advertisement and reftwe to bslLevrlt, but tbat is a matter over which we have no control. Caret al Investigation and science Itself an proving beyond a doubt tbat this organ Is, In fact, more important than any other Iq the system as a health regulator, and aa such should b* ckwsly watched, for tb# least sign of disordered action.

RE LI Ò IO -P H IL O SO P HI C a L, JOU RN AL .Some Russian Superstitions,

(Uxiuavto tram ttm Hu* iused by some for «Urination; the events pre­dicted Are nntnrnlly seen clairvoyant ly. it la believed also that sleeping with a Looking- glass underneath the bed, causes one to dream of the future.

The educated tines of Russians are very spiritualistic la tholr beliefs. A great tunny “superstitions" of the leas educated portion of tbelr countrymen are believed lu by them. A very great number, more than Is generally Imagined are Spiritual lets, stanch and true, very many being well developed mediums.

The Greek church is full of records of the "miracles'’ of Its salats aud "wonder-doers’* (tichoudotoortii), aud Spiritualism Is not received with that dogged opposition that some churches show to any creed that tends to elevate men above the level of mere tools for the use of a grasping ambitions few of their fellow creatures.

Rush I an history Is f a l l « instances of spir­itual Intercourse. Kvery page has legends and traditions. I have chosen one Instance out of hundreds, which appears to me to be very credible.

In 1236A. D„ »t the death of his father, the 17 year-old youth, Alexander larofllavltch, was made prince of the Novgorod Slavlans, then reigning overall the other tribes. The very fleet year of his reign, the Swedes, though living so far off. began to menace the Russians. Finally In 1240. A ' warned that the Swedish Kin

In 1240. Alexander was had s*-nt a

. famous general, Binger, armed with a Papal hull, to convert by thsiRvord.ttra henthenf?) Finns and Russians to tho Catholic flllth; that a counties«» fleet of boats wnsoii Its way, the enemy hoping roaScend IhaNivn unmo­lested, to cross thedake Ladoga, and by the river Volhoff, enter tho heart of Novgorod.

Alexander, at these fearful tidings, recom­mended him*eIf to Ills gUBidlnu nugels, and receiving the benediction of the patriarchs of the Greek church, gathered asumllariuy in faHRte, aud ascended the Volhoff to meet the foe, Hu got as far us the mouth of the Neva without any signs of the Invader. Here he met the chief of the little baud who watch­ed the mouth of that river, and who imd given JJim the first tidings of the invaders, then encamped not far away. This chief, call­ed Philip Pelgonssi, after giving him fresh de­tail-* of Hie strength and formidable arrange­ments of .the Swedes, went on to say: “At sunrise I heard a loud noise on the sea, aud running to know the eau-:eof1t, 1 saw a boat (loatiug on the waters, lu this brmt Blood the holy- martyrs, Saint Boris and Saint Glefab, and men were rowing the boat. The whole vision appeared as If enveloped In a lumin­ous vapor. St. RorDsald to St. (Hebb: * Broth­er, order the men to row—we must go and

) help our relative, Alexander Inroslavltch.* 1 ■ began shaking with tear, and the vision dis­

appeared from my eyes.’’Alexander devoutly thanking God for thU

sign of help vouchsafed him, proceeded to meet the Swedes. Ills handful of followers nearly totally destroyed the enemy's army, Alexander severely wounding with his own hand the terrible Biuger. It would take too long to recount the feats of superhuman strength and bravery displayed by those few men lighting for their conntry and their faith. Alexander’s name :hns come down to us In Russian history, ns Salut Alexander Noveskl, In commemoration of the day when he saved, by splrlm«! intervention, his conn- try from vassalage to tho pope.

A peculiarity to be noticed Is that the Roman Koldouns aud Oudatkas will not, as a genera] rule,(to which lam not awnre

t thorp are any exceptions)accept pecuniary ro- muiteration for the exercise of the gifts they possess. This fact may be used In corrobora­tion«! the Idea that mediums should not re­ceive pay for the manifestations obtained through them; but a careful view of tliB case will show the reaspn why this refusal of "re­ward" is so prevalent. A belief, which I do net think has any foundation on actual fact, is entertained that receiving money:'will de­stroy these peculiar faculties; so deep root­ed is this idea, which has evidently been handed down through long centuries, that, as I hare already stated, no consideration

- will make the peasant-medium use Ills gifts for money. This Idea may, primitively, nave

- been given to eoine medium, by hls-ln visible guides, who saw that he would abuse his gift, enriching him «elf nt the expense of oth­ers, His power would have then been harm­ful, Instead of being a sonree of good. Be­sides this the media mist Ic powers of- the peasant are really not of a very high order eveD though they are well developed; clair­voyance aud healing being, ho to speak, al- moAt the first steps of that "Jacob's ladder" that eAfblo us to catch glimpses of the other world. The mediums can, therefore, and do, employ their energies In ordinary material affairs without detriment to the psychical forces that oqr spjrlt friends use la us for communication. They can earn their livelihood in different- ways without hindering the manifestation of-spiritual force.

Bat If we come to consider mediums such as we have In America, for Instance, whose whole physical and psychical faculties and forces must be employed by the spirits for higher orders of communication, It Is then evident that spiritual forces hinder the ac- tlvo employment of physical ones, and the medium m ast either receive help from bis follow-men, or else throw away the g ift that baa been bestowed on him. and devote him ­self to keeping the machine going called the body. In this la tte r case, wo would be oblig­ed, as tho Russian peasantry, to content oar- selves with only certain manifestations of superior force, manifestations which we obuld not understand for waut of Intelligent communication'with the other world.’

If men wish to seek farther Into the beau­ties of the world they wtl! inhabit after they have left this planet; If they wish to get a foretaste of the Joys of spirit-land; If they wish to communicate with tbelr friends andrelatives, they must certainly help In a ma­terial way, as we lire in a material world, the delicate Instrum ent called the medium, who

A PHIL 9, 1887.al,” and any one could use It who eboee to

Ibus^a spring up everywhere, i t Is for” Spiritualists themselves to eee whether the manifestations obtained In the presence of A or of B are really of spiritual origin. No words can describe the Indignation aroused in me when I hear of fiends th human shape, who. for the love of gold, amuse themselves by deluding simple minded folks into think- lug they are lu com in union with loved one«. When the day of the "expose” cornea, as it always will, sooner or later, they think not of all the false Joys they have aroused in the hearts of lonely seekers for consolation, Joys dashed to the ground,—they think not of the men who nre brought through them to enrae instead of to bless the mum* ot Spirit- aaUsm,

Of a trulh U were better for those "mo dlum«,” that "a milhttone be’hangsd around their nocks, and they bo cast Into the bottom of the sea." What a fearful crime thjjy will have to answer* tor when the tltnucomes that they shall be put face to face with their earthly career and with their conscience, whose Yolcsnogold will stifle then! What horrible remorse will seize them when they see that for a few paltry dollars, they have mocked and despised the Bplrlts of God, and blasphemed . God's name and His truth on earth! Whst bitter sorrow shall they feel at the thought, that, Instead of earning their bread by honest toll, their uncontrolled lazi­ness had prompted them to mockery so vile, that the evil spirits themselves must secretly despise It!

Let us load with all the punishments human justice will allow ns, the despicable trick­ster who toys with our affections nod beliefs, but let iih protect to the bent of our ability the medium who spends his energy, his health, thoughts and time, for the advance­ment of truth.

( 18 M.:tH held III (h'CllH Sl'il'IICK lini l 111 Grand Rapidi, with a fair audience, and the •time was spent In Introductory remarks end In an excellent conference. The ball had been rented for the occasion, the Occult Science Society kindly giving its use at a nominal cost and showing a fraternal spirit In the matter. This society is not a Ttrao- sophlc Association, but a sort of psychic re­search movement, with broader scope aud clearer vl.*ws than moat each societies. The commuto-- of the State Spiritualist Associa­tion. especially Mrs. Barali Grnves and Dr. W. 0. Knowles had dono all possible to prepare for the meeting, and the members of tho Grand Rapids Spiri tualist Society had given ready help, decorating the hall with wreaths, mottoes and pictures. The oil paintings by Dr, Knowles, done in an hour for each, under some spirit control as he feels, were certainly remarkable. Several striking crayon pictures, landscape* and fnce-t, by Mr. Fisher, of Grand Rapids, when blindfolded, were also remark­able. 1 saw him moke a sketch, bold and ar­tistic, In eight minutes, I having fixed the bandages over his eyes and standing bj, his side while ho worked with wonderful rapid-

Mbirday morning a well filled hall met fór conference and to hear addresses, Mrs.

ÍVantai! was kept at homo by her husband’s lineas, and Mr. Whiting was unable -to at­

tend, so the speaking fell to Mrs, Woodruff, Mrs. Graves and Mr.Btebbins, bat the confer­ences were so animated and excellent that all the honra were well filled. Music by vol­unteers helped, aud Mrs. Carrie Hinckley gave several of her excellent poems, which come to her In a way quite like that described by Llxzle Doten as her experience.

In the conferences Mr. Thnrlnzlon, presi­dent of the city meetings, Mrs. Lindsay, Dr. King, of Sparta, Mr. Kemp, of Indiana. Mr. Hicks, nr Rockford, Dr. Knowles and others; took part. Mr. J. K.

two o'clock he was present nnd s p A ij ir nearly an hour. He said ho needed no proof of Immortality, but if any who did need such proofs could get them in Spiritualism, he was glad. Ho cordially recognized Spiritualism as one of the movements helping the world to Isrgfrr thought and was appreciative and fraternal la nplrlt. Some frank criticisms were made in good fait hand were well re­ceived. The discourse was eloquent, manly and able.

After him Mr. Monitor], who speaks to the Occult Science Society Sunday afternoon, spoke an hour on the need of scientific thor­oughness In Investigations, holding the close nttentlon of the audience.

In lho evening nil address on tho "Begin* ninfr'onilpdern Spiritualism at Hydcsvllle nnd Koch ««or, New York, nnd Us Spread and Present Condition," by Mr. Stebbins, was heard with much Interest, nnd a few golden words from Mrs. Wood fuff closed the annus) meeting,

of inquiry and recognition of Its truths and facts, and the slaw but sure decay of bigoted prejudice—all showing that It bAs come to ntay, to permeate all classes, to give tho needed proof palpable of Immortality, to feed hungry hearts as with heavenly manna, to give us tfolf know ledge and self-reverence and a sacred sense of duty, and to help us In ths free use of our own faculties la the discovery nnd application or truth JU*- practical dally life and In onr relatlCln to the life beyond.

Anniversary Exorcises in Kansas City--A Surprise.

Cb (be Editor of It» llc!U!»U1ill’*)«lilai JuumiLWo made quite a rally to celebrate the 31Uh

Anniversary last Sunday. The platform was adorned with fresh flowers, evergreens and Hags, and a wreath hanging Just under the chandelier In front, with 1818 and 1887 woven In flawerk on Its upper and under border, and the speaker’s chair was wreathed with ever­greens and roses (although tho roses did not breathe). The singing was excellent. A One collection of the best pieces In the Spir­itual Harp had been selected, aud our «lag­ers outdid themselves, and if the angels could not come into such an at mo sphere and In response to such echoes from the soul of song aud tho silent prayer of such an audi­ence-of Intelligent nnd refined people as there assembled, the dark cabinet could hard­ly charm them into expression! After some preliminary eierclto* and several pieces of choice music, Mr. Clark was Introduced and spoke fifteen minutes, and then told what ho saw, and made some prophecies. He said that soon one of Missouri's most noted and Influ­ential men, who Is n o» la perfect health, would-suddenly pass away, and that tbejlrat letter of his name Is R. He described several spirits, whom he Bald he saw. and gave seve­ral names;- bat I do not know as any were recognized. After another exquisite song, faultlessly executed. Dr. Bowkur was Intro­duced. lie epoke with much force and evi­dent earnestness. He aharply criticised the extravagance of statement and absurd pre­tension» of many who bring our facts and philosophy Into disrepute by loose statements nnd wild/vagaries, which the world mistakes for Spiritualism aud judges os accordingly. Some had eald, ".You do not see mej you only see my body—my shadow—but If, yon ever see me in the spirit land you will know me by what I sin os you see me uow." It had been asserted that “ God Is all, and God Is good; a cancer or malignant tumor is not rood, therefore it doe» not ex lstr Bat pbys; lology shows that the name process that makes a healthy muscle, makes a malignant tumor, and if God Is In one lie Is in both. Dr. Bowker related some -facts he had witnessed, of independent slate writing through Dr. Slade, which were conclusive proof of spirit return, and no possibility of deception on tho part of the medinm.

Tho Doctor wah for twenty years a Baptist minister, and said bo was a h honest then a s now, hot did not realize the source of biA help then aa now; but ho had always had spiritual help and always did best, and solved difficult problems most clearly when ho had madtPno preparations and had' no studied ssrmonN The Doctor struck eonie rather hard blows which may have hart Some who see things differently, but we should accept all fair CHI' lelstn with that love for troth which " cast- eth out fear " and keep in mind that an un­just criticism) cannot hurt the truth, hot may help ns to see It more clearly tn all Its bearings, and If we love truth above all creeds and humanity more than idols we can follow wherever it leads, and rejoice at every blow that strikes an error dowd. After Dr. Bowker’s speech onr friends rendtpd "Whew the roses ne’er shall wither,'*with eweet «foot and mueh to the pleasure of adl lov.ers of music and holy sentiment.

A PERSONAL RMIN1BCKNCE.I seldom speak V myself in connection

1 ¿«ported for the Eteilglo-Philosophical Journal- J There are two schools of historians: one

says tha t hfotory wbeu JustJy and truly w rit­ten Is the biography of great men; the other says tha t great men are raado by their times and circumstances, Thomas Carlyle repre­sents the former« and Macanlay the latter. There Is a portion of tro th in each school. There are times when the great man Is thrown upon the so rite s to act Bad control the energy of reform, revolution or reorgani­zation. He Is found at tbs hour of need and peril. He does not make the storm, bnt the storm makes him. The other tondltlon in which the great man .appears, 1a when be sees the world, the society or the Institutions of the country In which be lives,as altogeth­er wrong. He sees the times, and does not lire them. Ue Is ont of harmony with them, and speaks ont his wants and Ideals, and so cultivates a public opinion In his favor, which grows and becomes a power tha t over­throws long established Institution» of in jus­tice and wrong. This Is tthCgreat man. He Is tbs greatest king and conqueror that can visit this world. He re-makes tbtflgs, alters the work of ages, and leaves something to live after him which Is as lasting as the g ran­ite hills. His work, ywo.ll or Illy done, affects generations. F can come a t an*by universal suffrage. The ballot-box can­not m a ts a gTSjit-tfian. He canndt be made

/In a co llege.-U o Is made In snot be*1 place. 1 made him. Henry Ward Beecher be- i this order of great men.

re greatest mart that He c&tfoot be made

___great man is the highest and holiestwork of nature. All that nature does . Is great; but the great man is the hlghi achievement of her power. He reveals nt tbonghts in t b r realm of reason, widens tL fertility of the Imagination, redoes and quick­ens the moral sense, and gives to the spirit a new utterance. He assaults old, wornont props of superstition. He cuts down the hedges and makes a i p ; for other men to w a ll In. As an educator of the world, he brings his thought with him. He has to pro­mulgate It un til men realise It to be better th an the old. In the realm of Intellect he demolish«* much; In the epbere of feeling be takes ua Into new developments. Under tbs « trange magic of Us power, we feel him as we never did before. He carries os on to new elevations of spiritual nature, and we see there even he is above us, and thus he begets a reverence In ns for him. Nature brought him forth out of her prolific spontaneity. She tempered him, and circumstances fitted him to the rising spirit of the age.

Mr. Beeeher was born whsn this century was thirteen years old. He died thirteen y e an before the century concludes Its career. His life Use In the centre of Its wonderful and sublime activities in religion, politics and Industrial progress. He has seen the rise of the anti-slavery movement, and Its victory In the War o f Secession. He has seen fils country climb grandly .the hill of m aterial progress. Ba has seen the tide of emigration flow westward, the mighty prairies all op w ith thrifty citizens, and cultivated land corns forth from the prim itive wildness of nature. When Beecher first looked out upon the life of this world, then Gladstone had not po t away his bottle, and John Bright stood a little boy In petticoats a t h!s mother's knee. The watehfires of tbs p e a t Napoleon lighted

o f ISIS had Jo t pot np their arm*;°tii« v«ui ran had retunodtd file Cano; the woods re ­

sounded with the stories o f the dangers and the heroism of war; the log cabin existed fn Its pristine popularity the age of fond mort­gage» had not yet appeared. This little boy Beeeher came forth a t a time when this world was very much out of joint and greatly ex­cited about one thing and another.

Lyman Beecher was the father of this real Beecher—the greatest of them alll Lyman had the true preaching g rit In him too. Ho lived Sn the days of religion, when the Hue« of severe Puritanic piety had not faded Into the light of a greater freedom. What a change has come over thought since then! It is a rare thing for a great father to beget a great son. Great Intellectual endowments »e«m to mostly exhaust the Hue of mental power. Very few great men have had worthy sous. Great men spring from the farm. They grow after a hardy physical nature has been developed. There rnnsrbe a strong bodysome where In the life-line before you can produce'our great man. This wa* a strong stock—

this Beecher Block—a name that never can fade out of American annals—great In Its love of freedom, literature and pulpit elo­quence. As a role great men emanate from the pre-natal influences the mother has thrown upon them. Maternity fo wonderful in its power, and did not that life dLHenry Ward Beecher go back in its relations'and main spring» to hfo mother? What a debt the world of humanity owes to her.

The psychology of Beecher Is a great study, and also the characteristics of his mental powers; aud bow they were employed. He possessed a strong physical nature. He could stand almost any pnjonnt of work when his Interest was excited and alt his power put Into action. He had a strong arterial circu­lation and vital energy. Hla brain was large, and It had the force required to carry out Its work. We see here again hoW necessary i t Is for the brain to have physical power enough to sustain It, and feed It with vitality. He had a very strong organisation, and more­over, a very sensitive one, too. He-was a* sensitive as a delicate poet or fragile woman. -Hfo-tcfnd could hold the tendereet and the gentlest of emotions; and la It the richest sympathies could be aroused. He bad large, nervous perceptive faculties. The world he saw a t g glance. He had no minute faculty of d o # individual analysis. His mindthings in the tump, the general expression of things. He saw the green field, but not every blade of grass In It. Hla sensationalpictures represented the bold onAHu« of db- tore. His mind was not like John Raskin’s —he could Dot see the forms of nature with the eye of the artist. The soft lights aad shades of things he could not see. He wss adapted for seeing things In their bold and forge outlines. He had a retentive memory, and threw ont readily. He had a love of his­tory and an Inim itable power to tell a tale in an attractive manner. He bad an eye for,the ridiculous and grotesque. No man coaid ep-

iireclate a Joke better than he. His reason- ng power was made for the man of eloquence more than for the philosopher. He was not

a philosopher, nor could he have made a suc­cessful scientist. His mind had In It ¿So ranch Imagination, In , many respects the highest faculty, for It. enables the mind to m ultiply aad re-arrauge Ideas, and bnlld np thought in and from Itself. Ue could not stop a t the Hues and the triangles of nature. He contd see the beautiful everywhere. From the Inanim ate world he could draw Inspira­tion; the beautiful In nature attracted him with an irresistible charm. Moral Ideas and the exalted Ideas of reason stirred his imag­ination.

There are some things more beautiful In Beecher than his Intellect or eloquence. We may name the progressive character of his moral Meal. It could not be bound by the past. It only knew the atmosphere of free­dom. It revelled In that, He loved man. Hu­m anity was not a m oral1. Impracticable ab­straction for him. He looked over the bound­aries set down by distinct theologies and churchyard walls; these were or were not good to him, . Behind them a ll was the sim­ple, sovereign dignity of man. Hla moral natnre bad a progressive Ideal. That Is say­ing the highest nad-the grandest word of

Else for him that we cau aay; for tha t Meat world will continue to love him,

Beecher was a m u who m ast stand tn the front rank, on the green m ountain of prog- rsas. Hs m ust be where tbs battle raged the wildest and the fiercest; a hero every inch of him. Bush a nature was made to* produce changes in the world ot thoaght around him. He.was a Niagara in tbs moral world, not to

ality. I t prevented him falling Into the old metaphysical style of the divines peculiar to tbs last century. HU thoughts did not come in steady currents, but went forth like «boot­ing stare a thwart, the beautiful studded hea­vens. What wu'isimplj'A trite and common­place obaervajj&a when It fall from the lips of another m in , became tab le mouth a splen­did enunciation. Why? Because he put his own Individuality luto It. That was the ee- cret.

The streams of people on a Budday morn­ing crowdog Fdlton-fernr, wanted to bear Beecher, He was the centre where the true and great charm lay. When his mind con­templated a subject It became transformed into b it own glowing soot-image. Them arc thousands of p re u b e re and writers endowed w ith splendid faculties, opportunities end culture, who fan to drew the world to them, or change the eayreat of human thought apartici*, simply l i they never ]

in this phase of no of Daniel (TCon-

thelr word» or their elegant sentence» their owu individuality. 8ucn writers as Gibbon and Carlyle will ever be n charm, because they apoke for themselves In a garniture es­sentially their own. 8o with Beecher; he could not be Imitated. He stood upon the pedestal alone Id hla own department of Christian effort. One strong source of bfo great power wes hi» ability to readily manip­ulate hfo thought. His brusque and elastic fancy provided him with ready form» of apt lltualratlon. He could reach out Into form» of Ideal character, which »ever had an actual lodgement iir his experience, kTbfo 1» a re­markable and wonderful gift forany man to have. It gave a poetic character to the form of his best eloquence. Though he drew large­ly uttin the common events of Hie for illu«- tratlon, yet he threw around them hls.pemon- al halo, and In this peculiarity largely Jay his wonderfnl potency.

Beecher was fortunate In one thing; his mind was not overloaded with the faculty of intricate analysis. His tbonghts never led him through labrrla tb tsn mazes of logic, n is inferential faculty was always subordi­nate to thorn faculties which cognise exist­ences In nature aud phenomena. He saw clearly that tro th could only be reached by observation of phenomena, and then correct- |y correlating them by cia&Hflcallon and an­alysis. His Imagination perfected and sim ­plified the method by adding grace to his style and an eMy pose to hia e!oqoence. He had rare Intellectual capabilities fora didac­tic method In literature. It was. however, far from the Puritanic severity of Rbger .William», tie stood as near to nature a» he could, and would have made, hod be wished, n mark In artlstloand Imaginative literature as a correct painter of tire and the heart- springs of action.

Moreover, this great preacher had a sup­pressed Inner nature. Hfo great heart some­time» ran away with him. In bis character ha remlnf n*L who ran tremaudoRely lost when hfo great sympathies were aroused. He had deep and impetuous sympathies. He oulv needed the occasion to become the hero or a great hum anitarian cause. If this quality had not been well balanced by the intellect.be would have descended to llatutent ran t; but hfo rea­son kept hfo sympathies well under control.

Again. Beecher had a progressive religion» Ideal. He stndled the difficult and signifi­cant phenomena of social life as presented by different ages. Natnre appeared to him as a persistent revealer of divine power, and so­ciety os the grouping of circumstances, per­sons and events tending to some ultim ate foreseen by Providence,—a man’s true use­fulness being the clearness of Bigbt be had of that ultim ate. It was this that made him step along w ith the time# and leave old the­ological dreams behind him, and grasp at tha t which commends itself to reason and science.

Within the life time of Beeeher the great tidal wave of science came rolling Into the schools, the home and very Hfe of the people. The »tars are looked at without provoking the wild and untatored mind to dream» and fears as formerly. No longer Is nature dread­ed as the child of lnfnrlatod demons, hostile to man and happiness. - Nature with her glo­rious capacities now enters into every man's life as a power of culture and sweetness. The rugged, coarse lines of theological belief have receded as nature and science have led the way. We shaH no longer have the dis­graceful conflicts which characterized the last and previous centuries. The work of the true preacher has changed, becoming more hu­man. Religion, within the Ufa time of the Plymouth Cnnrcb oratorrbecame quite a civ­ilized luxury and refiner ot sentim ent and life. He wUI be regarded as a transitional divine between the old and the t£w of a'hnn- dred years to come. Tbe change Is not com­pleted. Still the tide comes in and all the old landmarks will have to n> before Chris­tianity become* as wide as hnm aa brother­hood and as deep as the world.

Beecher’s moral nature wanted room for new developments of progreae. He could not cut a t the old rock In the same way as the world had been doing for so long. The critic was born in him and he most express bfo want and discontent. The dream of religious content bad no ctarm for him. He who re­gards religion a* In the beet possible shape dow, la not looking with the eye tha t Beecher did. The picture of religious peace teemed to him a great deal like supenitltloo; there was a great deal of i t la the church when be put hfo feet Into the palplt. The world and the church were too far Apart,--one disliked tbe otjber; the church felt too little of the hu­m anity ot the world and the world felt too little of tbe heart of the chare tv There tree dogma enough thrown at the beads of the people—hard, logical or illogical sermons, but little of tha t which made the world feel that .comfort in 'struggling and living that we all w ant to feel to the struggle for exist­ence. Beeeher felt this. Hfo susceptible na­ture eew the Incongruity of a reform th a t did not reform and of a religion that did not im­prove. bnt which rather cultivated a eham humility, for that fo what Calvinism dotes and did. .

A religion that only meant fashion and church-going did not mean what Beecher m eant'.a religion shoutd be. It meant to him the cultivation of those Inner feelings and state» of «religious experience that all mu»t have before they, can realize the nature of tbe religious «tate. The true religious »late fo that in which tbs moral nature leads the character. The Intellectual faeultieam aybe very Important to cultivate, but the charac­ter Is not much until the moral powers have subdued the whole nature and brought self­ishness and ambition under proper control. Hfo work bad the beet practical religious aim. He made a great many mistakes, but that proven he was a man. He was a man. too, with a great soul for the domestic rela­tion,—home meant»» much to him. It was the flower bed of life. In U grew all the beautiful plants of life and virtue. He loved children; in tbem be saw Hip light of Inno­cence and hope,, hope not tinged with the pale gloom of misfortune aud defeat Home made him just what he came to be. He was a kind father and a devoted husband. He had s great sympathetic nature, aad who can tell what he passed through In Hf* in conse­quence of this. If he had chosen to follow politics, exclusively he would have made a grand party lender of broad Ideas and great, capacity and influence.' Even nnalderl by tbe institution of a political party he exerted an influence that brought him tn to prominence in all the civilized parts or the world. The force of his character did it. It was the steam engine behind the gTeat qualities of his mind. He made all tbs capital out of hfo genlnshe could.

There fo a great deal more lucidity In re­ligious thought now than them was Tn the early days of Beecher; we mean that the old bejiefo have decayed and given way very ninth slaco he came forth to h e lp in the de­velopment of the religions culture of the country. When he was young and feady for queer adveptnree tn the pcllplt, the church had bard thoughts which liberalism had not even cracked. They stood firm aud unmoved amid the stern political revolutions which had passed over tne Eighteenth Century. In the Sooth there were preachers of a very old and degraded type,—-men who did not believe that the black man was of the same flesh and bioot as the white man. They read in the Bible of the great originator of tbe hu­man race after tbe flood,-who planted a vine­yard and drank of It and was drank. Tbeson of Noah, called Ham. came by and saw

fo father was naked, aud made sport of him. This wickedness and dfogracefuluiof Ham. from whom tbe negro race descend­ed, was visited upofi hfo children, and they were cursed by God for all time to come to be bondmen and slaves. It was a common thing for the preacher In the pulpit» of the South to Justify human slavery by a class of arguments like this. What a church rft that time. The sins of the la te war belong to preaclArs of that type, who saw no wrong in bolding a brother man In bondage. These sermons aroused the Lre of the young sod el oqnent Beecher.. H ssaw the libel upon tho

crash tbs system In ths^western home of freedom, and forever clear tbe flag of the Re­public from the Iniquitous stain of slavery. That was a noble resolution. The yonngmen of the new generation do not know what the resolution meant to Beecher. How .unpop­ular such a course was a t (bat time. The Northern States had sunk to tbe depths which slarery can sink the moral sense. From the very dawn of the discovery of tbe Western World the Institution of slavere bed been a growing institution; bat like all un­ju st institutions Us time for decapitation bed come. ^

In the best times of Greece and Rome sla­very was an institution. The usages of the race bad been such as to keep men from see­ing bow unjust It was to bold a man as prop­erty, Under feudal domination in Europe it was the transitional period ifbeD tbe slave of ancient times gained tome few rights, and was tbs breaking of the dawn of freedom for the laboring part of tbe population. Tbe ne­gro race had held down all tbs ages a lower position In the social seal*, and, therefore, hs was tbs last that the sp irit of freedom earns to touch; bat cams it most- After tbe great struggle in Ragland for the.emauetpation pf the slaves In the West Indian Islands, the in feettob caught ths attention of some thlnk-

-srs In America,especially Henry Ward Beech­er. He stood forward In the dawn of free­dom and saw. the sun rise from the hlii- It required courage a t tha t day to preach an unpopular doctrine; i t dow tha t at any time. Bbt In the Institution of slavery there were aome special condiUous which made it pe­culiarly bard. The men of tbe North and the Sooth bad dabbled In the borine* of bolding, breeding and w iling slavee. The iodnatry- of the Booth waa maintained by the re- vooroes of slave tabor. The n h ja e t was be­ast with great difficult!». Tbe South bad a unified opinion. The question of llbvrty did not spring from th en . Tbe Have holder did not look oporr emancipation or Ue remote prospects, w ith anything ilk* favor. It was in ths New England Stoles where the moral growth of public opinion began to »bow U- Mlf; yet there was ad n ll and stupid conserv­ative opinion which perefotsntly , opposed the doctrines of Wm. Lloyd Garrison. Many a wild, mad mob has roared through tbs streets of old Boeton. chasing the anU-slavery ore-

God. The thought of Gorf and a divine provi­dence fo sublime,—to feel- that the affairs of this mysterlont universe are under the pro­tection of an fnfluite Intelligent Being, but to degrade that being In such a manner as to make him the author and snstaluer of bnman slavery was the most consummate and unmitigated piece of blasphemy ever present­ed by misdirected piety or Invented by the­ological bigotry. Whenever men have a d irty work to do or perform, they will get the cloak of sanctity to cover R. Madam Roland said. “Oh! liberty, liberty, how many crimes have been committed in thy name !” We might alter it and say. "Oh! God, how many crime* have been committed In thy name!" When right and Justice are wisely drflaed and ex­pressed the people will not be long in seeing them, and the people of the Northern State* were not long in Reeing them; bnt It required such ta lent aud meu a» Beecher to bring about tbe change. The pnblle work of Beecher In relation to slavery will paw Into the an ­nals of bfo country. Us cannot be thought of apart from hfo great moving work, and the great figure he c a t in ths doings of the na­tion. He left lio »tone unturned in the wopk wbfoh he had before him. , „ *S.

What made him an abolitionist.' Christi­anity. The Christianity which he saw afin felt was that which the beat minds are work­ing for to-day; hut it doe» not m eanaengroh or an organization simply. It means thal great deep current of love, benevolence and devotion which human nature has in It for the bent and truest things we can find In thfo world. I t fo like a corporation«)/*, it never dies. It readjusts itself to every mode and change in human thought; it fo the of a ll thought; it fo the interpreter of human nature in sentim ent and love, and this was the Christianity that made Beecbt* see the jostle* of liberty and the manhood of the negro. It fired hfo great natnre with true Ideas of life. It swept from him th a t rubbish which the sham thinker has mistaken for Christianity. His Christianity stood ont above a ll ehnrchee; to make a ehurch of U, you juackU i t and kiU it. Human nature Is the baefo of Christiani­ty. It waa Christianity that made Beecher so noble and so high above tbe mere theolog­ian. True Christianity I* tbp^high w ater­mark of human progreae, and most be to tbe end. C •

Thé foolish controversies that hare riven Christendom for ages will not be continued In the future. A wlderjand a richer thoaght prevails and Is b ea lan k g to more strongly pervade the Christian k ind , and It fo this, that Christianity m ast snore and more rep­resent the true type of Christ's rond net and lif«T That 1s what fo coming. The relire of the schoolmen w^Jz their foolish, dogmatic formol® must go,-and Christ must be regard­ed u the true example ot life and conduct here for all good and true men to thfotk wor­thy and -beautiful. Into this Christianity B eedpr had looked. The béliefe did not trou- bfojiim much. Every sensible man caa eve through them tha t they come ont of the childhood and not the manhood of man.

The 39ib Anniversary of Modern Splritnal- lam was celebrated at Memorial Hall, Clove* land, Ohio, March diet. The attendance was large, and much enlhnsla»m wa» manifested. Hr. Thomas Lees opened the proceedings with the following remark»:

Kbiknus:—In conformity with the custom Inaugurated twenty years ago we have met to celebrate a very significant fact, the simple yet wondrous phenomenon of the spirit rap, which If not beard for the first time la IBIS at Hydeaville, N. Y., was for the Bret time In* telllgcntly noticed, and from which the ad­vent of modern Spiritualism dates, so that to-day we meet to celebrate the thirty-ninth anniversary of one of the simplest and yet one of the grandest troths that humanity has

* learned the present century. I need not re­peat here what has been repeated regularly the past twenty years at opr celebrations and what yon are all quite as familiar with as myself, vlK., the story of the Fox family at Hydwvllle, through whose children the raps first came, but It certainly seems fitting to me on this day to allude to what la not gen­erally known (by the rising generation at least) and give credit to the one through whose medlnmshlp the spirits first suggested the observance of the 31st of March as a na­tional and International day of jubilee, which many of you wilt remember was Janies Law­rence or this city, famlllaTjy called "Father Lawrence," one of the earliest workers and afipporters of the movement In this city. The custom of celebrating this, onratmlversary day, was flrdt established In 1®Hti\ old Gar­rett’s hall and has not only extended to every city In the union where Spiritualism has any kind qf a foothold, bnt to many cities la Eu­rope and even Australia, To day similar fes­tivities are being held all over the country, notably In New York, Philadelphia. Chicago, Ban Francisco, New Orleans, Cincinnati (the

oMtoston le now being held one of the grand­est meetings ever held there—In the spaciousand elegant Tremont temple—with a galaxy of speakers, mediums and singers unparal­leled In the history of the movement; so, not­withstanding our disorganized condition, Spiritualism was never so active, nor over numbered so many adherents as now, and Its power haanevor been so manifest through­out Christendom as It la to-day. Spiritual­ism la unparalleled In Its growth and ts con­stantly being reinforced by converts from all denominations, so that to-day a vast army Is being recruited, composed of Catholics, Pro­testants (of all denominations), Jews, agnos­tics and oven materialism lias furnished Its quota.

Ererr rear.Emerson has tfuly said, "We are living lu

a transition period when the old faiths which made and sastained nations have lost their force," and I believe I am not claiming too much for Spiritualism In crediting it with the dispelling of many of the myths and su­perstitions of orthodoxy and hastening the transition by substituting new troths for old errors. Spiritualism the post year has made wonderful progress, aud it must continue to do so, because its philosophy to based on facts presented through phenomena that are con­stantly Iran spin dr. not only all over this country and Europe, bat the entire world.

been largely dqe to the grand truths revealed by the liberalizing Influence of thh modern giant. Many complain that Spiritualism 1s

ter hood. It seeks not to destroy the religion of any of the creeds, it’s merely destructive

the errors therein.&ires

It aims to supplant gy with the "aled by the nodern sel-

Tiffany, one of the pioneers and remarkable figure* In Spiritualism’s early days In this city, who Is unable to attend, bnt to thorn of yon who are here a cordial welcome Is ex­tended, and as customary with ns an oppor­tunity will be offered this morning for short speeches.

After Mr. Lees* remarks there was singing by the choir, after which Mr. William M. Coleman, a resident trance to odium, delivered an Inspirational address and was followed by Mrs. T. V. Cooke, another local medium, who spoke briefly. Short speeches were made by Mr. C, C. Bacon of Elyria, Mr. Hex, Mrs. Josle Ammon, Mr. William Whitworth and Dr. Newcomer.

At tho afternoon meeting an address was delivered by Hudson Tuttle, who Is one of the prominent exponents of Spiritualism in this country. Mr. Tuttle said:

ADDRESS OF HUDSON TUTTLE.Wc celebrate the thirty-ninth anniversary

of American Spiritualism, It has been thirty-nine-years since It became known that direct communication could be maintained between tho spirit world and mankind. This discovery and the outgrowth therefrom dis­tinguishes American Spiritualism from that Spiritualism which 1» aaold as the race. Be­lief in spirit existence is one of the enriloet and moat universal, preceding historic Himes and even leaving a record In tho strata of the earth. The geologist, from tho caves of the ice age, resurrect with the bones of man the fragments of tho funeral offering, charred on the fire kindled on the grave, the burning flesh of which nourished the spirit on Us journey to the great hunting ground, and In the skeleton hands find the how and etone ax which were to do battle or pursue tho swift deer on Immortal plains. From that vastly remote age uutll I to appearance In myth and fables, which ante-date history, there Is an incomprehensible Interval of which no record Is preserved, ye1* during which this belief must have existed, con­stantly modified by the changing conditions of mankind. American Spiritualism is the beginning of a new dispensation. It brings the spirit world nearer and makes its pres­ence felt and heard. It Is no longer a vague, intangible fancy, but the reality of all oui" hopes and dreams. It bos in the place of jin uncertain ferry thrown a bridge across the river of death, over whose swaying arch the hosts of heaven, the great multitude of earth’s departed, our relatives and friends, return; and the ocean of eternity It has fathomed with a cable, through whose strands the messages of wisdom and love, which laugh at the victory of death, arc freely seat. It Is a graft on Christianity as Christianity was on Judaism? So far as the new always must be on the old and no more. It Is a perfectly democratic religion present­ing a Just view of man's duty, destiny and immortal relations; drawing Its evidence from the physical world and responded to by tho highest Incentives of the eon!. You can

destructive, and not constructive enongh to be of any use. It was necessarily so In Its younger days, nor has-It yet entirely oat- grown (to Iconoclastic tendency, nor will it. while the various creeds continue to defend the errors within thhra. None, however, need fear the destructiveness of this new phllpso- phy. The mission of modern Spiritualism is a wise and beneficent one. It comes attend­ed by the spirit of love and good will, to .unite mankind In one harmontons brother and bLs

dggmas of an effete theology _ iresheFNand brighter troths revealed By tho gtorious’ilgbt ®f evolution and modern eel Cnee. To Those who look beyond the phe uomenalphases of Spiritualism and see be­yond the mere scientific fact—those for in­stance who Incorporate Its beautiful teach- iDfn Into their dally live«, thereby making a religious use of. the knowledge It brings—de-i__ ._________nci______ mmfully compensates not only for the destruc­tion it brings but for the odium and ridicule cast on Its disciples through the bigoted Ig­norance of those who won! d have ns believe they’re quite orthodox, you know. If Spirit­ualism gets the hearing promised It at tbs next church congress the comlngfall It may astonish some of the "Rip Van Winkles” of theology to learn the extent of the Ism and the hold It has on the thinking-people of these United States. The grand and distinc­tive differences between our Spiritualism and the creeds of the . churches Is that the keystone of our structure is free thought,

’progressive In character and scientific In Its demonstration, while they regard tbplr creed as a finality making it as no a progressive as It Is unscientific. No one can possibly prom­ise to believe to-morrow what they believe to­day any more than they can believe to day exactly what they did yesterday. Hence we shoo Id be very careful in stifling free thought, for it Is an assumption void of all sense for this generation to saywbatthe next shall think or believe; progress Is the'elation cry of modern Spiritualism and woe be to those who undprLakn to stay Its parpma. Rat tlfns w ill not allow me to follow this theme fur­ther: others are here to-day who w ill speak On toes* points better than 1 possibly can; ae r will return to my particular doty, which la to welcome ell who-oare met hero on thisbeautiful spring morning In this beautiful hall In honor of this our* thirty-ninth anni­versary day.

From h tiny rap In an old house In an obscure hamlet U has multiplied and Increased unlll it has extended to the farthest Inlands of the sea, and the eohthern cross ati well as the constellations of the north look down oil the host who accept thto-oew doctrine of life here and hereafter, n has made more converts la thirty-nine

eats, within a single generation, than Christianity In the first five hundred of Its

advent. It has made a greater markln the religious and Intellectual development of the age than all other forces combined. There are associations rather than organiza­tions, free from even a statement of belief which may be construed. Into screed . Had there been organization among Spiritualists, with a statement of doctrines, there wonld before this time have been crystallization, stagnation along certain lines of thought, and withal isolation not only of the society from others bnt of doctrines. As it has been these doctrines have remained uncotifltied and have permeated all organizations. Thereto no distinctive church of Spiritual­ism, but all the churches, sects and denomi­nations have been awakened and forced for­ward In new eplrltnal life. The mental world is stirred to its very depths and agi­tated as nevsr before. The old landmarksbave been swept away, and when question« are discussed in the old way by appeals to bible texto and the testimony of the rather»,men scarcely pause to listen If Inventions constantly exceed the wonders of yesterday, the spood oi steam Increased, the telephone directly connect us with the different places, tho telegraph fathom oceans, electricity warm and light our dwelling, all these phys- s I cal Inventions aud changes are as nothingcompared with the changes In the thought realm of the age. The whole mass of tau- mauTty Is seething under some potent Influ­ence like an ocean under whose fathomless

He soon entered a field where no mortal had been, or knew aught to advise He became sensitive to the thought atmosphere of the spirit world, most intensely susceptible and medlumlstlc, and then the secret chambers of the lightning wire unlocked to him.

There was hopo nor joy. and it Beamed a sin for the sun to shine or the birds to sing now that the dead could not enjoy. Now, when than despairing, a voice breaks through the silence. Tho dead epohk and «flare us of their identity, that they live and love us beyond the thin ve)l which conceals tho Immortal from the"mot* taj gaze. We are enthusiastic! Who would not bo? Life has no Joy like thlsl Its pains and burdens are light now that we know they hear us toward the goal where face to face wa meet where partings are unknown. Overestimate! Can ho who wanders In a darkfome cave overestimate the BauBhlne which bathes the world with glory? Is Spiritualism a religion? Yes, but wo slight­ly Tory the definition of that word. First Is science, the accurate knowledge of laws, of causes and effects. Ethics or morality is thht part of Bcieuce which treats of the re­lations Sndlvldoaia^oatatn to each other and the right conduct of life. Religion Is devo­tion, , lo-the-irue ^ud right for Itself, and that alorfo, regardless of rewards or consequences. Not fear oil an angry God, but fear of doing wrong; not the incentive of heaven, but the nssuranceof the peace coming from the tri­umph of the truth. Thus Spiritualism is a religion, scieuce and a philosophy*tended, forming a system vital with growth and cpHnneosurato with the needs o f humanity. The worliShas dreamed of an Eden lu tho past; that Ellen Is in' tho fntnre. We are rapidly nearing the fortunate Isle beyond the waves of the western ocean seen In fancy by otfr ancestors. Oblivion will drown the dross of the world and leave the shining troth. Creeds, dogmas, superstitions shall pass with their day and the mockery of legis­lation which attempt» to force men to bo moral. We are striving to hasten that Eden for those who follow u»; the age of thought, the age of divine manhood. Then shall the veil be riven In twain and mortal life he re­garded as the vestibule to the Immortal tem-pti".

BRITISH SPIRITUALISM.

Communication from E. W. Wallis.

Co U>« E ditor of lb« J u m rj i -

It may be of some Intercut to your readers to know that SpiritualIbuj, lu this conqti? Is growing, and above all, it Is taking firm hold upon the community as a religious movbmpnt, By this I do not mean either a

oi bill ties lu that direction. Aspiration, ado­ration, reverence aud worship,—these are es- cent I hi elem ents of human nature. There Is always something that wins our admira­tion, Inspires us with reverential and ador­ing feelings. We love the true, the' good and the beautiful, and sham and shoddy pay tribute to these tendencies by looking as much like the genuine article as possible. These feelings And expression In songs of praise. In acts of prayer and In deeds of love. Barely, «luce- Spiritualism helps ns to get nearer the ‘‘bottom facts," aud enable« ns to apprehend the Immanent principles which everywhere operate for beanty, order and good, it must of necessity help us to a truly rellglouB life.

lategrlty, equity and parity,—these are the watchwords of character which Spirit­ualism demands Os Its code of morals, allied to benevolence, or love for others, which being manifested In sympathy, reformatory enterprises, and educational endeavours, blesses the earth with true philanthropy, the religion of love aud goodness: the being good, the doing good and getting good,—fhq getting good coming last as a motive, be­cause to be good and do good necessarily in­volves the consequent getting good.

Spiritualism has had ao much to do la an­tagonizing error, opposing falsehood and freeing men's minds from tb* fetters of fear, false faith, and euporetltlons subserviency to authoritarian dogmas, that the religious

Its revelations have been largely tost sight of; its redemptive power as (an in fluencc tp ennoble, uplift and spiritualize baa too frequently been dissipated; j p d while we have been engaged la maklngWro of oardaets and adding new marvels of ifie* dlumship, wq have paid, perhaps, too little heed to the teaching; have attached too little Importance to the value of the evidence aa a’’means of grace'tand growth, in those vlr toes and sweet spiritual experiences which make life worth living.

Some of us are too willing to attribute the nobility of the good and true then and women to the old time training, while others are too unwilling to admit tto full extent of tutefnl- neas of those teachings and institutions; but when I bear, as I sometimes do, my friends speaking of générons ot good deeds

In tho same way It le customary to apeak of "Christian virtues," “Christian graces," "Heroism," "Faith, Hope and Charity,” etc,, are thus denominated as though Christianity had exclusive patent rights over them, and none but Chrlatians could experience these emotions or perform these deeds, a form of superstition which It ts time waa outgrown altogether. Spiritualists, who recognize that man Is a spirit with spiritual powers, nat­urally Inherent lu him, should be the last to dQb their expression with so exclusive a term.

"Behave and be saved" Is the motto of a friend of mine, Live the life. Religion Is larger than Christianity. Buddhism or even Spiritualism. Only so far as Bplritnnllsm becomes religious can It spiritualize or be permanent. Aa I take it, religion is the natural yearning of the spirit after the ideal, the pare and perfect; the intuitive affirma-

formity to divine principles. Religion Is emotional la Its genesis and . moral In Its ex* odaa. Is the going forth of the soul aspl ra­tionally in search of troth, the living practi­cally of that troth In dally deeds,—character formed as the consequence? Motive precedes deeds. What we are and strive to become Is' more Important than what we believe.

B a ll set out to say that with us In this land Spiritualism is taking strong hold as a religious movement. In Manchester, where six years ago but one society existed, there are now six. The meetings are well attend­ed, almost any one or them having an aver­age attendance equal to that of the one aforetime. The services partake more or leas of a devotional character, although the sensational element can not be kept out al­together, In the shape of clairvoyant descrip­tion» and psychometric experiments; not that t oppose either the one or the other, bnt am of opinion that the place for their exer­cise la In the home, or private circle, or at special week-night meetings called (or the purpose of eliciting phenomena under fit and proper conditions. This promlsrnous "test giving," as it is called, is more injurious than useful on the whole, no many of the descriptions lack point aud accuracy that thoughtful people retire disappointed or dis­gusted, while too frequently what Is said aud done lends acme color to the charge of fortune-telling.

It la enrloiis to note how dissimilar the movement In the province« la to the so-called Central Association. The latter appears to regard thenubjert aa one of a purely scientific or philosophical character, to be analyzed without emotion, dissected without enthus­iasm. classified and pigeonholed without any ebullition of feeling, aniens It be a Blight stirring of the pulse at some new wonder, some fresh marvel* which 1b at once pounced Upon and riddled. This Central Association Is a sort of London literary Institution, with occasional soirees and dress-coated assem­blies, where any thing like the hearty, free and fraternal feeling» manifested at similar gathering» In the north, Is unknown dud would be frowned dbwn; it repreaento notbA Ing but Itself.

Unt In the provinces Bplrllnallam Is alive; It Is something to be thankful for. to be glad about, and people rejoice accordingly, invito their friends and neighbors to hear the glad gospel which disarms and dethrones death aud returns the dead to the loving heart. It is a religious-fact to propagate^ a glorious revelation to make manifest, and the workers labor and snffer slander, persecution, -and social ostracism for the cause they love.'

Spiritualism at Home.

'H aving generalized upon the subject of Spiritualism In my previous letters, and given some curious facts, too, I now Introduce to you a aew character in tho control of our medintfl; “a familiar spirit" If yon please, who, in his peculiar advent, the reasons given for it by the regular speaker, h|s promise and his constancy as one of the family, bis many tests iu proof of spirit com­munion, his wit and humor, bis Bharp repar­tees when questioned, his general odd man­ner so unlike the medium.—has, I am free to­ssy, to my miad, more evidence of the great truth and claim of SpirltnallBm, than all the books ever written. Why? -Because personal experience Is totter than the experience of another. If acceptable, I frill In several ehort letters, give you my reas&rw for think­ing to, At one of our circles, e l k o r leu persons present, the medium under eantrol entertaining us about tho usual iengllHof time on the subject of evolution, and cod-, rinding with his asnal bles»lug, said In sub­stance about as follows:

"My friends, we have brought ^ young , spirit brother hero to-night wllh a view of installing him Into the mysteries of spirit control and communication with the denizen» of earth. We have been teaching him torn* time, but until now have uot mentioned (he fact that we hare a pupil who will remain with the family in the capacity of medium between them and ns. He Is a lad that baa recently entered spirit life. I found him on the bank of a stream of water, aud at my ap-

Eroach he tried to avoid me—ehy. fearful o f arm. strangely confused with his new Bur-

rotmdlngs; about seventeen years old at Ida second birth; uneducated, or rather only educated in poverty, hardship,Ignorance, and tho surrounding that are bred of these con­ditions, yet he possessed a good mind, latent qualities of head and heart, that only re­quired cultivation to bring the smooth dia­mond out of tho rough.

"Furthermore, friends, those who leave earth without a knowledge of things per­taining to It or the life op 11, will never * move tm in the grand progress!»-« march until the rudiments of such knowledge are obtained, and the better informed concern­ing life here, the more easily we climb, when we do pass on, the mountain that Is always before us. We explained ail this to him, urged him to nccept a place bs pupil aud .worker, that wbuld eventually educate hitu in both spheres, and after many misgiving» and hesitation, he accepted our proposition, and to-night after we withdraw, we will al­low bitn to try bis Aral experiment. It may be rode and Imperfect at first, bat will grow totter and better as we advance. Another reason we have for bringing him to you. Wo are often wanted—I say we. for there a » several of ub controlling this organism, aud one is reqnlred to to cn rapport all the tltpe to receive the mental telegram, and he can dd this, and to profited thereby, relieving ue, yet serving ns. We have tanght him how to hqld her under onr mesmeric influence, and Withdraw It at the proper tfine. in time, he w ill describe spirits present, read character, tell of happenings ata distance, and In many ways entertain your company. Call him Jim L; thongb not bis real nnme, he will u u w u a it."

Thus ended this envious introduction. Now let me say that, after thirty years, he is with . ua atilt, never losing an opportunity to let ns hear from him, or eerve us If possible. Dur­ing the war to kept my family posted as to my safety and whereabouts; was with me at times as 1 slilU /toreaflcr show; told of tho changes In generals In tho Potomac army, and of tho failure and success In advance of the fact; told ere It happened of the advent ot the one from the west who would lead to victory; and 'never or one moment enter- tainruthe proposition of animate failure la re-establishing this government. Early in our acquaintance with him. be said he would remain with us until his medium passed over; then, and not tilt then, would to leave matters mnndane, aud seek the school of the-

Perhaps a dlffl- cnlty would arise as to amount of payment, since the women who mend for their fami­lies do not roll in wealth, and even fifty cents a day might seem to them extravagance. And the sewing woman who drags her life out on the same eum, b o a r d in g herself, would prob­ably scorn less. But. once given her patrons, she might find her life both easier and more healthful; and the tired bouse mothers, see­ing the economy aji'J the relief, would won­der why they did not dd It before.

" He told of a little girl brought to him one day afflicted with 8t. Vitns’e nance. Bhe had been to school and In her book bag she had an English grammar, an arithmetic, A geography, a hbdory of the United States, an astronomy, a temperance physiology and by-

ammar. a French reader, i general seienfee. These

_____ j was expected to master at homec and a half hours, if she gave the need-

. .t im e to sleep, to eating; to dressing and recreation."

In such cases the child spends her ¿rain capital, not her brain income, and boy h«v$ been driven ont many more have been well n(gh tally or physically, by tbs cramming D ro sse s .

Mothers I do not allow It! Bern ember that at seven years of ags tbe brain la larger in proportion to the body than is tbe brain of an adult, During the^rst eight or ten years the Child should learn solely through its senses. Let the Intuitions bare a chance; do oot let the brain be overtaxed any more than the body. Some one has well said: *' Memory la not knowledge. Because children recite well does not mean that they understand. They recite by rote. 8o do parrots. Such cultivation of memory weakens tbe brain

Krere. How much better It would be if we more objective teaching Wbat Idea can a

child get horn Dr. Johnson's definition of net­work—1‘a reticulated structure with inter- stteee between the interwotione'? There is too much cramming In tbs schools In spite of all tbe teaching against It. I confess to a strong sympathy with the Intelligent tru­ant."

A notion of parrot« might well result from this early overcrowding, only that the spirit ref usee to be crushed. Though the work ia difficult, It will assert Use!L and set at nought arbitrary tnlM and shackles. Glre It room and opportunity, remove tefflputione, pre­sent right motives, and the world will be led through .glorious Inspirations.

A working woman of New York makes an agonizing appeal, through a paper, In l a w o f fair pay for women's handiwork. It la a sore subject to touch upon.—it Is not woman who has brought a bool the present condition of woman, but sbs moat take part In ita re­demption. ' One way is by avoiding bargain counters where woman's work la told at ruin­

ously low prices, and pay honest prices for honest wort. She writes:

"How many clear-headed, true-minted men and women might live to-day as orna­ments of society but for the long hours of grinding toil and care,which unfit (hem men­tally and physically for any thought nave how shall we earn bread to feed ns, clothes to cover ns, and rent. How many a noble intellect Is clouded by the care and weariness It cannot shake off, which, wltn proper food, shorter hours, and an extra dollar for books and paper!, might outshine tbe stars! Why do lewd women walk our streets? Is it not because unable to live upon the wages yon offer that their souls were bought with tbe rich man's gold? Think of this,brother men! when yon hire cheap labor: think of It when yon i educe the wages of the women in your employ! Think or It, ye women leading lux­urious Dtps or happy in yoar comfortable homes. Wbat brought these creatures from whom you draw aside your skirts In the streets, into the depths to which they have fallen? If you were to visit the evil houses which abound in our citlee, or Inquire of the wrecks in our streets, how nanny do you think would choose a long day'« work at fair pay In preference lo the life of glided vice? I war­rant yon nine-tenths would take fair wages and an honest lioim'."

The only answer to be made K that all such can find both In domestic service, If they are (rained for It and will eater upon such a life. To the following there Is no answer, save to agree to the request:* “ Give us one more thought. When you see the almost resistless advertisement of our great retail bouses, with ‘Special Sales at nnhrard-of reductions,1 think that the re­duction does not affect the dealer or the man­ufacturer, but the women who stitch, stitch, stitch, all the weary day at reduced wages. Remember ■ Special gale ’ means slarrartoa.'*

deceit on the nUrt In this use of ancient symbol« or acceptance of snclent conceptions we should understand well and thoroughly tbst the clslm set up by creed taskers, pro- feesedly pious sad Christian, that ail their Idess and ceremonies are of miraculous orl gin, given from heaven ohly to the Chris­tians, and that none can be eared here or hereafter without accepting them In this way, Is totally false and misleading.

No scet or party can thus have and hold all troth. Let ua rather recognize kindred Ideas tn all religions. Seek truth from Pagan or Christian In the past or to-day, and gladly note and welcome the progress of religious Ideas, belling the broadest and deepest spir­itual thought as best, and the most beautiful fact» as tbs natural proof-positive of endur­ing truth».

This train of thought is awakened by a late letter tn one,of our exchange« orer the Initials L.il. 8., well known as those of Mrs. L. H. Stone, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, a gifted and versatile woman. She writes from Luxor and Thebes of obelisks and temples built by the Pharaohs before thadaysof Moses. Of a great temple In Luxor she says:

CfarUtlas Symbols Ages before Christ.It Is the style of a school of materialistic

'* criticism, to which some materialists do not belong, to parade any symbols or opinions which antedate Christianity, and yet are like It, as proofs that the last stole from Its elders all U has, and then palmed off the plundered property as Its own, and as the special gift of God. Those of this Behool seem more zealous to prove priests and creeds dishonest than to get the real troth. Just aa the dogmatist up- holls his oreed, and lets reason and con science go that be may hold fast to tbë “letter which kllfotb.” This Is an unreasonable re­action from an anphllosophlcal absurdity, a reaction not without Its usés, yet one to be avoided If the golden mean where troth He# la oar aim.

The new faith being a growth of the hu­man mind and affections, it is quite natural that the forms and symbols of the old wor­ship should be partly need tn the newt quite as natural Is tt that certain Ideas and troths

. which those forms and symbols are meant to bring before the mind, should also here-

or modified la form or expression, yet clear Insight will discover the real likeness add Identity.

Bnddblsm was Hindoo Protestantism twen­ty-five hundred years ago, bnt the forma and thoughts of the older Brahmlnram mingled with the Bnddhlst worship and life, not

* fraudulently bnt naturally. Primitive Chris­tianity was a groat spiritual awakening, fall of light and life. We need not believe or disbelieve Just aq Us apostles did to grant that, or to grant the valneof their words and works, bat the forms and thoughts of older Paganism and Judaism made, naturally and inevitably a part of the new movement, with­out aim or thought to deceive on the part of any.t Especially must great troth pass Into all re l^ o its systems, for they aro In and of the eoul, Universal, fluent and penetrative, net IlmlterPto any book or creed, to any race, ageor latitude.

Jaws was no scholar in foreign tongues or books. He probably never beard of Buddha or Plato, yet their words and his are singu­larly alike in some respects. He did not ■teal from their stores, but simply ottered hie own fatal!!' its touching the things of the spirit, which were like theire, because all souls partake of the light of the Orer Soal.

So it has ever been and ever will be.■A charmed Wo, old goodnaw bath,"

the poet well says, and be that charm under Pagan or Christian gnlse.it still lives and lightens many souls.

We most hear in mind, too, the fact that the tendency to the miraculous, has always been strong, and that the wisest and beat men and women are touched and tinged by the east of thought of tbelr age. Buddha never taught bis own authority as final, nor did he rely on miracles to prove the troth. He told his dleclplee not to believe a thing

- because he said it, yet he was hardly gone before he was the Lord, and his birth and life made volumes of miraculous legend. Christ dwelt very little on aught hut spiritual truth, yet miracle and myth, and story and picture, tell of tie supernatural element that colored those ages. >

Thus it Is seejtjihere eras no wholesale theft by early Christian, from Jew or Psgku, but that some of the forms and thoughts of the old faiths passed naturally Into the new. lathis way, too, ws see bow great Ideas en­dure, A Bap re mo Intelligence, a sense of duty, a thought and hope and lasting faith k> Immortality run through thoagsa.

Here we readily and rationally trace back tbe Christian symbols to a thousand years or more before Christ, and this does not change their real value, but It does effectually show that tbe claim of their Christian origin Is without foundation iu fail. We need, to ac knowledge the gifts the past has brought ns, and also to acknowledge and appreciate the eourccs whence they came.

** Hr Courtesy.'*In an ed^oriat upon the Wells exposure,

published same weeks ngo, the Journal spoke of a New York gentleman thus: “Mr, Nelson Croes [called by courtesy Judge Cross] whose practice seems to be In the newspa pers rather than In the courts.” The inno­cent and most truthful words in brackets seem to have pierced the Innermost recesses of the original transfigaratlonlst's soul. Through a lawyer friend, one W. R Garrard, he repllee In the columns of a venerable Boston contemporary. Of coarse the JotlRNAL’s statement is garbled and removed from

tallied. Symbol and truth will be change^ "Its context, so as to draw tears of sympathy

own time they livy and grow,IWMDO theft or

from the readers of Us contemporary.Mr. Cross, over Mr. Garrard’s ylgnstuTe,

says with great feeling: “ Casualty glan " ring over an editorial article In the Re " Ltoio-PniLOflOPHlCAl JouRNAL of March ** lhth I observe a spiteful •fling' at your New “ York correspondent, Nelson Cross, to whom “ allusion Is made as one allowing himself to 11 be called Judge by courtesy."

Mr. Cross by his next friend then states that he was atone time Judge of tbe Court of Common Pleas somewhere In Ohio. Just where or when cannot be told from the plead­ings, however, bat at some time within tho past thirty years.

The Journal hastens to wipe the tearo from Judge Cross's beantlfpl eyes and to hold up Its right hand, or both hands if that will add emphasis, and to declare that It never, no never! meaut to^fllng" a shade of a shad­owof doubt npon tbe fact that at eome period and place he had worn the ermine. No, in deed IU only tried In what U thought a sweet and gentle way Urconvey a mild hint to tho public that the newspaper lawyer was not at present assisting In the administration of the beneficent laws of the mighty State of NVw York; that his lovely little figure did not now Illuminate the judicial bench, and f&at hta friends decora^d him with the title os a matter of courtesy and os a token of previous oflletal position—a perfectly proper thing to do.

The Journal may here remark that Us ed­itor Is called Colonel by courtesy, because eome twenty-six years ago when only a boy he didn't follow the example of Judge Cross, bat just went off like a foolish young iter and enlisted as a private soldier and within fifteen months thereafter rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Tbe New York lawyer and newspaper advocate la not now entitled to wear the ermine, nor la the Jour­nal's editor In a position to don his bine coat with Its double row of bright bran buttons; tbe one-Is not a Judge nor the other a Colonel —and are only so called "by courtesy.'

The Golden Gale says: “The trend of all spirit communion should be upward; at least we should so Insist, amd whatever we earn­estly insist npon and- seek for we aro very sure to find. If tbs higher spirits cannot eome to us, ws should certainly no* waste much time with the other kind, except In do­ing them gopd. We should give freely to »neb as we can old, but should seek for old only from those who ore higher, better and

Recent Parla Experiments la Animal Magnetism,

We print this week Bn account of some In foresting experiments lu “hypnotism* mesmeric condition, mode lately In Parle tending to show tbe Influence which can be exerted over the mind of an nnconacloai sub­ject, causing him to execute a'arlll or deed of conveyance, and subsequently to stand to It as tbe act of his own free will, when In truth and fact It was executed tn opposition to tile free will, and because of Its entire dom lnatlon by the will of the magnetlxer.

Tho account Is taken from a medical jonr ua!, which is too often afflicted with the gray­est of apprehension that there may be soma where manifested among men a spiritual power which that paper la unwilling even to dream of, and Into whose philosophy It la nol allowed 1o enter. The experiments are In terestlng, particularly os coming from the source they do, the allopathic fraternity; but they are not novelties to experienced Spirit­ualists ormagnetlxers. Manyyearga^)ihey produced all the rhaulta presented by these Paris experiments of Dr, Charcot, and more.

Dr. Charcot, aa reported, has but shown the Influence exerted upon a subject while tho latter is dominated by the mind of the hu­man or physical operator. Let him continue hie experiments, and ho wlll reach a stage in which some other power takes the subject out of the control of the homan operator. In that stage “the subject" will take to himself tbe task of Instructing or directing him who was the operator. The subject will give at- fotAOtJ to views directly opposed to those of {fie operator, and often will declare himself to be moved by, and tho mouthpiece of, a dla embodied, quondam human spirit: such haa been the experience often related from tbe rostrum by the late Dr. Uallock.ef Now York, and other veteran pioneers to the field into

Beecher—Wright,

Sermons, lectures, magaxlne and newspa­per articles with Beecher for their theme have flooded the country during the past few weeks, but tbe Journal ventures to say that none of these contributions to hie memory surpass that glreu through the medlnmshlp of Mr. Wright, all things considered. That such a discourse fell spontaneously from the lips of an uneducated English bricklayer within a few days after Beecher's departure, la in Itself a striking thing. That it was listened to by a large audience In a thriving city of a State which was once the field of bloody atrlfe between Freedom and Slavery, where Freedom won through the tremendous energy of Beecher and others of his kind, la significant index of the world’s progress,

A few years ago this eloquent lecturer might have been seen after a laborious day’s work with his trowel, trudging three miles to attend a little circle, whore earnest people were striving to solve the problem of a future life, aud to develop the psychics) and medial powers*of snob sensitives, aa they should find among their number. Stead lly bis development went forward until at last his trowel was laid aside forever, and he

'became an rillctent agent of the Spirit-world Later on he crossed the Atlantic under clr-oumstanoes that would have driven stronger, men than he to desperation. Alone, n*known and with hardly an earthly friend he was guided and protected by wj»o thoujflr- Invisible friends. Against covert and open hostility, both wltbtn and without the ranks of Spiritualism, and handicapped by a dell cate physical organization, rendered still more fragile by his severe trials, this Inspired man has kept his face to the front and slowly won his way. Mnoh that Is taught throbgb his Bps may grate harshly upon good people, and In some things ho Is very fallible, but In his way be is doing a grand and noble work that will sorvlvelong after he has gone from earth. And when he has finisbed his mission and gone over to the great majority, may there be those who will speak of him as justly, kindly and wisely os has bis spirit in- splrer of the great preacher.

Evans’s Spirit Bra wing*.Oar esteemed contemporary, tbe Golden

The plctaree, It Is claimed, are drawn by spirits on elates through the assistance of the medial powers of a Mr. Fred Krone of San Francisco, whom tho Qoltlen Gate vouches for os an excellent and honest psycho graphic medium. r

Fifty years ago, Illinois was a vast and sparsely inhabited prairie. Horse thieves and desperadoes were the terror of tbe un­protected settlors and tbe life of an officer of the law or ot a detective was most perilous, A bold fellow, Boaney by name, gained great prestige as a successful detective, and in his later years published a bloodcurdling history, of his adventures under the title. “ The Ban- Sltsof the Prairie." We well recollect the cold shivers that ran over us when as a small boy wo read this book and stared with fear­ful gaze npon the pictures of famous thieves and murderers which, in coarse wood engrav­ings, Illuminated Its pages. We had not thought of Bonnejrand his “ pandits” for more then twenty-five years, when on open­ing the beautiful pages of our handsonjoly printed contemporary, we saw the picture purporting to be a likeness of tho Journal's staunch old sapporter and our warm personal friend. Prof. Denton. Tbe picture Instantly recalled that of one of the murderous thieves whose Likeness Bonney had need to heighten the sensational character or his tale.

One of the pleasant visions of our memory hsd been a magnificently shaped head, a bright,honest, earnest. Intellectual, comely face, that always came to mind synchronous­ly with the name of William Denton. Look­ing upon the picture In tbs G'ohfon Gate and reading the endorsement of its editor,“. .T. This of Prof. Denton Is sorely an excellent likeness and a very creditable piece of work,” we were painfully shocked, and began to won­der If our Bjee were falling or If eome hateful spell had obscured our vision, or had wo al­ways been mistaken In our recollection of this dear friend. Pondering thus we wrote the following letter to Mrs. Denton:

It Is within oar knowledge that In a num­ber of Instances Important Information and valuable clews haya bean secured by officers qf the law and attorneys through the aid of psychometrlsfo. We do not advoeate great dependence on such help at present; neither do we think psychometric readings should be' thought Infallible; as a rule, they arc mixed with more or lee* error, and the average psy- chometrist Is not sufficiently developed to dif­ferentiate the Influence of environment from the-object under examination. Sufficient progress has been made, however, to show the jwalbilltlea of this power when well devel­oped and controlled by a thoroughly trained sensitive.

Easter Sunday was a perfect day la Chica­go, warm andyetlniigoratlngfcbnrcbes and halls were filled to repletion, and beautiful­ly decorated with flowers. Some of the dis­courses approached remarkably near the bor­der Une of Spiritualism, while In some so- called liberal pulpits tho mossy arguments and fatQons platitudes of old were advanced Id support of a life hereafter, with s studied suppression of all hints that modern Spirit­ualism exists. \

Experiences In the Eddy Camp of Christian Scientists Continued.

BY WM. I, fllLL.

I wish to say a few words only now so as not to be misunderstood, and to prevent my prevlonrcomnumleatlong from doing Injus­tice to the Innocent, who are unwittingly in a false position, as I was myself for a little while. Like mo, mimy of those iri the Kddy Camp Interpret the formula la the noblest admissible meaning, and they act according ly; nad they have hod no adequate opportu­nity to know their error, end all their inter­ests and predilections tend to shut out the light, which In this case Is only darkness.Such people are not lo be counted nmoiif those whom I have condemned. I would not;“deHroy the righteous with the -wicked," butLot's family In Sodom must nevertheless come aware that this is'saylng a great deal, bnt It to grief. The sooner they leave the doomed" Is nevertheless true.no such head of Christconnection the better for them.

Let it not be supposed that I undervalue mental healing. On the contrary 1 deem it the noblest agency this world knows. It is for this reason I am so earnest and serious In exposing the frauds and refuting the errors perpetrated nnd advocated In Us name. I have no personal motive or object In this ac tlon. Had I consulted only flesh nnd blood. I should have been silent, as .others have been who have known some of these things before, and for years. They feared tbe monster's evil tongue, and tbat.thns both their name nnd peace and practice would be hart. Sev­eral who had previously said and insinuated the worst things while 1 was yet la forma) connection with the wicked camp, have turn­ed quite round as soon an they see any real danger threatening the enshrined simulac­rum. They fear U will hurt their craft. They have from the Blmulacrnra their certif­icates, nnrt at the best they follow Its beckon lugs.

I will receive knowledge and truth from any quarter; aud what good Is here I gladly acknowledge; bnt I cannot thence be debarred from suiting any known error and wrong as­sociated with U, especially if It is of enor­mous proportion« and influence, Mrs. Kddy, it Is often urged, has rendered very great ser­vice In pushing this work forward, nnd so she shjpuld not be hindered. If the work is of God, St will stand nnd prosper, and not the less because Home'pretentlons pillar of Iniqui­ty Is knocked away. If It suffers much for want of such a support, many people will In­fer that It Is not of God, and I should be one of them. I have no fear. I bare come to aee that a bad character'and name here, assocl ated with tbe most ridiculous nonsense, which that name supports, because venerated by many, la one of the great hindrances to the progress of a rational pneum«tepathy,^lt this makes the very term, "Christian BelAnce,'' the noblest of all phrases, the just object of universal scorn and satire, and the main things It stands for In the orthodox camp are described in a great- popular dally Journal, voicing tbe common conviction, as "unmiti­gated rot," to which not a single trained and disciplined mind has ever yet gijeutas- sent.

I hope yet to do something for the advance­ment of a scientific pneumatopathy; bnt be fore that were possible this explosion of s rocky Hell Gate was very necessary. The truth could not he clearly seen la connection with these Intellectual excreta; and I would not have them confounded with nny views of mine, or like to have them attributed to me; now that I have been forced to see them In their proper darkness [not light), I would not willingly be deemed such a knave or such a fool.

K a n s a s c m n o t e s .■To the Editor at U» Uatido-mJeMfOUBj Joutoai

Our meetings continue with unabated in­terest and large attendance. The clnb who engaged me are men of brains and business capacity. They did not, "and do not, I am ears, desire to antagonlee any .who may see' differently or desire to work In any other Ifne. There was some feeling which I hope haspassed away, as the move was Interpreted by eome os a wish H> Injure the old (or new?) eoclety, which bad held eome meetings Inanother place; but I think this was a mis judgment, and the members of the society so far as I know) hare behaved nobly and

given oar meetings their support, by tbelr attendance and kindly demeanor, and I trnst all persons! differences are sank In the larger love of trnth and tbe good of the cause. They hiv nil Spiritualist« and worthy nf th** Jjmiio. All true mediums are treated Wodly éy<\ ror- dlally so far as I know; but lhsy do not od- vertlê» any medium, nor allow such adver­tising I'd the ball for obvions reasons. A cir­cular advertising tbe Cincinnati convention was rejected because on the margin of each was written In Ink tbe smtue, number and room,of n medium In this city, thus making them advertising cards for a Ibcsl medium. This rejection was misconstrued by some who did not know all the fact*. To allow these and reject other mediums* cards would not be treating all alike. If any were misled by this, or Indulged In unjust criticism, I trnst their better nature soon'dispel led the cloud, and the baptism of the Gospel warmed them Into a higher perception and more générons judgment. f

Mrs. Bonham's Hplrlt Picture.To the Editor Of Uro neUctomjaeoeblr») Jwrarii

The short notice of this really fine medi­um, published In the Journal a short time ago, has attracted the attention of a large number of persons of cnltnre and to the artistic work which romee from Mr»; Bonham’s pencil. No mere descriptive words can do justice to the beauty and character of these work« of pure inspirational art. Thehistory of Spiritualism abounds lu speci­mens Oi pictures and drawings of one kind and another, but without being invidious or making comparisons, j can safely assert that the portraits drawn by Mrs. Bonham are not surpassed by the roost Tamon« artists of the pa«t of present. Mrs. Charlotte Wilbur has now in, her possession two heads—one of Christ and one of Buddha, which she obtain­ed from Mrs. Bonham a year or so since, which have no eqnals In the world. I am

has ever been made. No one can describe It, bnt we know when we look upon it that it is the real Christ of history. The benevolence, the charity, the great love of the Divine Av­atar, are indelibly Impressed npon the pa­per and penetrate to the very sont.

A head of Shakespeare, which now hangs In thB medium's rooms In New York, Is the subllmeet representation of the great poet which the world ever saw. Lovers aud stu­dents of Rbakeepenre, who are familiar with the refcl and Imaginary portraits of the past, prouonnee this the only real Shakespeare in existence. We believe It 1« now the com­mon judgment of the world, that Shakespeare was the grandest and most comprehensive man ever given to the race, and this portrait reproduces just such a man; ll|e brain of n God and the soul of Divinity. Strong men stand entranced and gentle women are moved to tear« before this marvelous face of the bard of Avon.

.The spirit artist who guides Mrs. Bonham In her work h is permitted her to pat opon paper a life-like portrait of himself; a young man of„ perhaps, twehty-five yearn, whoso face expresses tb'e very sou* of nature and of life. Unknown to the medium and, perhaps, to history,'tbe young artLt is doing a work with hie pencil which rank« him among the

''men of genius who have been made famous lu the centuries gone by. Mrs, B. haa no knowl­edge of, and has had no practice in. the tech­nicalities of the art; her work Is purely and wholly Inspirational, and Is worthy of tbe source from whence It comes.

The Rev, M. J. Savage, In a late sermon, In Unity pulpit, Beaton, says: . \ _ J

The most pathetic instance of such a life In all history Is that of Jesus. The predominant feeling that we have about Jieu* la of bla having Iwn a sad man; and yet a man of such grand and lofty princi­ple« and Ideas »a hi*. of such insight, and such com­prehension of what Is lu the human heart, of such trust In and Inve for (tod, of auch fallli In tha gran- deur of human deatluy, must hare been supremely bleated. Yet we are not wrong; our Inalincl la not at fault when we think of him aw a sad mao. He met tho cross not simply at the end, but bo carried ll on his chafed shoulder all liU life. The blood flowed from hlw heart nqt only when the spear point plercAf It; but the blood of his sorrow flowed through •It bla yean. Why'.’ Whal I* the secret of It? Bo faf a* we can comprehend such n nature, It waa jus: thlatackol sympathetic and helpful iullueuce about blur. Bren hla mother did not understand him, but thought him'a strange boy, and wondered what would come in him. And, all the way through, the most marked characteristic of those about him was their utter failure to comprehend the alaturo of the man who was walking among them. They perpetu­ally mlainterpretnd bis spiritual, high utterance» lulo petty ooiuiuonplaces that must bare felleu with a chill on bis heart, and would have quenched an en- thuiUwm leu wutillinr llin a hi*.

There are thousands of persona since that time ; who have IIred and walked Ihe earth alone, seeing and «(rising In Attain Ideals that are far away, that those a<*e»t them did not understand, concern­ing which they had no him. They termed them Impractical unfitted to lire In this every-day world. The reault is always one of two things : a man be­come# subduel to that ho workaln, pulled dpwn to their level, and goes on in despair, or else goes •ion* with tho thorny crown on hi* brow, and with bleeding and weary feel In the confidence that some daj there wilt be people who will grow up to the oompreheniloa of that which he meant and atrove for.

He oonfinee himself almost en­tirely to eome objection to the use of tha tarn "tele­pathy r a» applied by Mem. Gurney atid Myers. No doubt many case» cited In the volumes are not cases to which that newly coined word at alt fitly applies. They are cam of independent- vision, of clairvoy­ance, and not tf transmitted Impression. When the book—Ih* value and Importance of which are un­deniable—comes under eyaiematlo notice. U will be welt to notice the difference between a cast of real Ulspelhy, wbsre th* feeling of pal a la communi­cated Horn a distance to a passive subject, and those far more numerous cases where a vision of a distant occurrence flashed Into the passive mind. * Mr. Sev­an, for 1 nuance, »ailing on Lake Con 1st on receive* a blow on the mouth by the tiller aa It awung round. Hla wife asleep felt the blow as If uponTht own mouth. That 1* pare telepathy. But a vision of a distant occurrence flashed Into the mind Is not Ally described as telepathy. I see, for example, a scene at Land’s End. a sudden shipwreck; there it not a eoml there who know» me or to la »ny conceivable rapport with my mind. A sudden glimpse la flashed Into my mind and all to blank again. Surely the term telepathy doe* not fit there.

there ■ purer» two editorials of marked algolflcance: One on toe propoeed Anti-Medium Law In Peonsyl-

mla, end one on Mrs. Wells* sreoo# pi the Newtons, tils last needs mote consideration than l can give

at present, or before expressing injeelf lo a public way about It . . ■ , , _ -

In regard to the other I can truly eay that I am thankful for the brave word» »[token against tills proposed law. I have read that editorial With much pleasure, and feel-greatly pleased that the JoUHXaI. comes eo ably lo the reecui.

Whatever cauee those professing lo he mediums, or three who really at# such have given for com­plaint there can be no excuse whatever for such au outrageous measare as the one proposed. It only needs to be shown up lo meet universal condemna- tion from all right-minded people whether they be Spiritualists or not For It would strike a blow at religions liberty that none but the extremrel bigot with mind warpwl and darkened with deoae Ignor­ance could for a moment tolerate.

There are eotne tblnci about flit* proposed law that demands the most serious attention from every true-mlniled Spiritualist In lb# land, 1 am not an alarmist, and lu this case there 1* out eufflclent cause for permanent alarm. All Uilngs will bo righted by the changre ul lime and consideration. But the fact that a WlT of *b monstrous » character could be In­troduced Into an American Slate legislature In Ibis Ihe closing period of the tilth century to. It must be confessed, of rather • startling nature, Bo much baa been done lu this apleudld century for human freedom and progrres that we began lo feet too secure, perhaps, la our advance.

Perhaps ll was necessary tbat eome bold badln- Ituetic* should dare an attempt to set llie bands on live dock ol lime bock fifty year» or so, and let the dark cloud of church ty Inlolenmo* and bigotry hide the light for awhile just to ere how we would tike to heTo the dark agalD.

Perhaps It wits ueceaeary to wake us up that wa might see where our spiritual ship Is drifting.

Spiritualist*, like all other cljunre of people, are subject to a greet and Important law—tbe law of progress. All people who harmonize with tills'law To a proper or true way, prosper and becqtpe strong. Those who do not thus harmonize become weak end die. There U no standing still. All go forward or retrogress., The church has retrograded. It U up longer a spiritual church. It to externa], material, no matter what tha pretences are. The fact Is aa slated. Ills only a question of Ume when It will no longer be a visible blerarcby. r

Spiritualism and Spiritualist*, subject to tbe same law, must move forward, must progress; or. there ta only ooe alternative, go backward and become a prey to superstition, false philosophy, semi-material­ism, dissolution. -They must go forward, live, pros­per and grow strong ami powerful as lb# great factor lo human advancement, or they must retro­grade and die. . f

It la all very nice aDd InterMling to run to circlw, hear rape, and eeetnblre move by an invlslbiypowet, witness automatic or Independent fftltfflg; see one entranced and brer unknown language# spoken; nr listen to an eloquent address beyond Hie powers of the medium, or to witness many other wonderful things actually done now a days. All Ibis la a very lutereetlng, and even • solemn thing when wa con­sider that ibe Intelligence, the power, comes from an Invisible being, acting through the medium for our benefit lo some way; or even for our amusement, as w# too often make 1L It Is alt very nice,—bm nupuree we just slop a moment and consider, wbat la all this tor? Is It simply to amuse us, or to Inter- re t o* for awhile and pone by like a panorama?

II Is gratifying to know tbat this proposed Legis­lative Bull has been taken by the horn* by strong friends everywhere; and Ural the people ate waking up and coming to\tbe rescue with tongue, pen and personal k flume*.

“A iObecriber" from Dataware makes a vigorous attack under the caption of an article, "Danger Ahead T nud dore well to remind our sapient law­maker« that U would be better to turn their attention to eome of tbe great evils la oar elite# and towns, than to be trying their hand at restricting human freedom, ft may bo that this move la a key-note to trials and difficulties before us, and properly charac­terized as “ Danger Ahead.”

A number of.anecdotes are related concerning Emperor William’s long lire and tbe possible num­ber of years «till left to him. One, Illustrating popu­lar superstition, to worth repeating. It Is to th# effect tbat at the Ume of tbe, Furtenstog at Frank­fort. In 1803. King William, one day, walking In the neighborhood of Boden-Badsn accompanied by Herr van Bismarck and a number of ladles and geatlo- meo, passed a gypsy hot On» of the todies ex­claimed: "That Is when the famous gypsy girl Predoea telle fortunes.'’ Tbe party, who were alt ■ n walking drew, entered the bnt and bad tbetr for­tune» told in succceetoo, the King, whom Identity woe concealed, coming tost ET#dos* held hi* band along while la stlsoc* and then retd: “I area great crown, great victories, «ud great age. You will live ninety-*!x jfare, but your last day* wilt bring much trouble and much sorrow." Tbe King forgot all abont the prophecy till ltfeH, when, at a ball at the Htuatan Embassy In Berlin, the Hun­garian - Counts« Krdody, whose mother waa a Talgsue, was presented to him. During a tong con­versation It was Incidentally mentioned that the Countess possessed the gift of chiromancy. The Emperor held out bto hand and the Countess, after examining the llnea. gravely aid: w Your Majesty to dsqjjned to live 96 years." The Emperor, it ta added, was much struck by the coincidence.

According to the Vienna TacMori, physician* of th* Emperor have declared that be baanoorganlo failing, and there to oothfng to prevent blm from attaining the a n 6t 10«, provided be takes care of himself,. But thto to Juat what ha does not do. Ac- cording to authentic statist!®, there ore at present In the Kingdom ot Prussia no lee* than 6,000 persons over SO yeormof age; 600 nt them are ten years older than the Emperor, la all parts of Prussia there are plenty of people between 90 and V5. The oldest are to be found tu Urn province* of Pooeo, Silesia, and East and Weet Prorata. — L o n d o n S p e c ia l to K ern Y o r k W o rld .

2»Stb, on the experience of Mr. W. 1L Tlw, In nWalo- log slate wilting vvltb the aid of “Dr." Mr. M. Keeler, Induces roe lo relate my experience a* an offset to hi*, Having beard of Mr. Keeler nl the ball of Ibe Brooklyn Spiritual I its, my brother end I resolved to have • silting with him. We »elected a bright Sun­day, and called nt hi* rooms Immediatelyxfter the Mindere In the hall—eay about 1 o'clock F. x My brother bod purchased two atalee at a elore previous tn the call, a point which, by the way, I do not con­sider Important, notwithstanding Mr. Tloehi ex­perience. After a short wait Mr. Keeler gave a elU ting to my brother. I may here »tale that wa are almost enprely unknown lo, or unacquainted with, noy professed Spiritualists, and that Mr. Keeler was an eutl re stranger to u*.

After my brother had finished a very successful sitting I entered the little ante-room «ud asked Mr. Keelei If ho had spire states. He handed me two, giving roe a rag at .lire same time to clean them, which I did quite thoroughly. Having cleaned them I told them upon the table, resting my am upon them, and Mr. Keeler look bl* seal opposite me at the table, Hetdre me lay a few slip* of paper, and at the direction of th# medium I wrote some nammand auch particular requeotaaa I deelred to make, folding each slip carefully and rolling It Into a lltiln bell. These 1 laid beside m* and entirely be­yond tin? reach of the medium. I particularly dfl­air«! lo hear from two parties, my nuclei, wfluid[flfl «mouth since tn Day Ion, Ohio, and on old chum, who diet some eight years ego. To the latter 1 wrote: * ( U BUncbard, »re you with m# os mach a» ever, and do yon stilt enjoy tho thing* you formerly look an Interest lo? If sn. say a word about old llmre." To tire former I asked eome ordinary ques­tion, which ha* escaped my memory. When this had been done Mr. Keeler broke off a very email piece ot slate pencil, no email that I could eenreety pick U up. and bid me place It upou one of the stale*. Goth of which I sill I retained, and place th# other over lb Then at his direction I tied the stale* with my handkerchief, took them In my hands, bolding a corner With each bond and the medium holding tire,opposite corner«. Fora moment ootblogcame; hut suddenly tho slates seemed lo b# poMmeed; and I coaid feel tire mignelHui, or whatever It was, os far as tny armpit« Tbe magnetic sensation soon becamp-rery-ojrong, and lb# mediant appeared sotne- what'surprWl himself, staling that I wu medlam- totic. - la atxdher moment I heard lire writing plainly Intldethe slates, which continued for about halt a minute, nud Urea with a violent jerk lire In­fluence passed away, and In opening lire elates I found the following message;

"Hkah Nxw:—1 am with you now Justos much aa ever, and am glad to see that you enjoy yourself llreeatn«4re you did wbsn I was with you. Thai’s a apod feilow^aml I am pleased lo be able to eay these few words toybu. Aa «vet affectionately,

Ckaruk".Now compare thto reply with my question aud see

how cljwly tny words were follows]. The medium could not possibly have bad any knowledge of my name, the party I drei red lo hear from or Ute ques­tion I desired answered.

Something Impelled me to take op the other slate, and taking nootirer from the table I placed U upon the first, after having pul a bit ot slate pencil be­tween (hem, and without any prompting from Mr, Keeler I forced the elates luto bh hand«. He asked me If I had another hood kerchief, as I hod not re­moved nr untied the hand kerchief from the other elates, hut had slipped one of the slate* out, and w# both seemed to feet that no Urn# should be last. I answered, "No," when be suggested that any article from my person would prove useful aa being more or les# magnetized. I pulled a email note-look from my pocket and threw It on the stales. Instantly the writing commenced, and th# manifestation* were to strong that all my strength was required to bold the two etojee together. Rapping* on the elates were very marked, replying to questions asked .by the medium. Suddenly one of the state# shot up In the air, and Mr. Keeler gave a cry, and asked me to rub liLs hand, which seemed glued to the other átate. I did eo and the power passed off. On looking at the elote I found this tnresag#:

-Dear Newman;—'Thto l*a very pleasant Ume. I araurt you, to be able to come and write you. God blew and prosper you. Your dm Uncle Bii.u"

The words were characteristic of my uncle, ■* was tire other message from my friend. Not only that but tbe wrIUog from tny friend Chortle Marea strong resemblance to hi* graceful anlograpby. The writing In the other message Is rigid and »harp, and entirety unlike the first. My friend Chortle la writ­ing me, never omitted placing the colon and dash after M “Dear Newman." ThU-was on the »totea. He had the habit of saying ’-old felJow," or “good fel­low.'” whenever be saw me, and certainly no man ooutd have received a better or more aaltofactory Leel In all respecta.

Tbl« much for my experience with Mr. Keeler. My luVatrer showed lire hi* slate*, one containing a long mweege marked at Ibe tup "strictly private," and signed" James Mr. Evans,” an exact fao-slmtle of tire man’* autograph, as ooispared with tallera I may atoo odd that Ute Ja« W.

An intelligent observer rambling through the woods will often see (Jen of leitbery substance at­tached to tire trunk* of fatten Usee—usually la damp, shady places. Thto to a fungus growth. Dnubuee#, In the wise economy of nature, H ha* * specific use; but to cursory observation, It seems to be e amtees appendage, wasting its existence In « sort of dead-alive fashion, doomed to hong jo de­caying togs with no elm to benefit Itself or Its ear- rounding« It puts forth no leaf nor twig; neither blossom of beauty nor fruit of cheering plenty.

Is there any human fungus? Are there men and women whose faculties lie seemingly dormant. In a dead-alive existence, that puts forth neither Jeaf nor twig of growth, nor give» fragrant blossom nor ripened fruit to the benefit ot their fellows?

I think we have all seen them In common society; thay are Of the highly respectable who, having over­weening belief In their own goodoeee, fasten ttram- selres Into secluded coteries, fenced in from danger of human contamination, and who droit along with hand* placid ty folded on their bosoms, with no more of active life and stirring world sympathy than I* In « chip floating down the tide; They are very goad III a negative way, having not enough energy to he teui; kfl useless In lb« real work of lire world ns a wooden poet set up for ornament »tong » wayside, or tire fuogu* on a fallen tree tn the woods.

We see this respectable fungus especially rank to tho church«*, more particularly In the wealthy churches. Here, huuday after Sunday, tn the beet central pews, sit row following row of well dressed fungi, calmly listening to the smoothly uttered elo­quence of aa able minister, and Ui» soothing cadence» of Ihe deep-nxmlbed organ. Their semi- ■sleep Intellect to gently tickled by the soft flow of pulpit utterancra, and for a brief »pace, it may be, Urey are moved to e belief that they are worship­ping God: bat farther than this they are never Im­pelled. The res! church wrrk I* unknown to them. Willingly they donate freely to keep up the costly music end high salary of the able divine. Other­wise they come Sunday after Sunday, when Ihe weather to not too stormy, or ■ poor preacher to not appointed to the pulpit, lathe same calm, equable frame of mind, with not s ripple of engernnse or en­thusiasm stirring the- fangus-LIJie Inertia of (heir bouIIvm being, to all Intents deed. They ore human fungi, pure and simple.

flare we any of ihli cIsm among. Spiritualists? Yes. My friend C, Is m staunch believer In the fattb, but be has ceased to take the slightest part In tbe cause, except wlren some exceptionally line l«clur«r or powerful medium chances to appear. Then be wlfl attend nod pay hta tan or twenty-five cents toSin a mental result for precisely the same reasons

atbe would go to »concert or attend a. theater. He doe# not attend church on Sunday os do many

Spiritualists who are ashamed to show their faith to the world. He la loo much of a fungus for that. He il-nply stays at home, reading LIU his eyes ache and he feels sleepy; Ihenhedoxesinseml-oncon- sclous deadnees, In a sort of mental apoplexy; sots without being hungry, and reads eome mure, then agsln dozes In tils rocktag-chair, trying to worry away the weary day. Like the fungus attached to the tree, he Is fixed to bla chair, of not on« atom of use to himself or any living soul. Ask him why be don’t attend the Spiritualists* gatherings, and he replies:

"I have no need.' My faith to made up. I looked IqLo tha matter earn telly tilt I proved the truth of Spiritualism by undoubted teeta, and the thing to ■eltlrd forme."

Then he will add » long account ot his experi­ence, end the certainly theta communication from bis father, mother, or eome nunt baa proved the fact of Immortality beyond the possibility of doubt; hence now his spiritual affairs are wound up, hi* whole moral nature preserved and bottled for safe keeping, and he has noth lug more to do but stt down a dead human fungus, firmly anchored Lo a fixed narrow Circle of unimprovable eel fish nee#.

fjera to e human fuogu* utterly Impervious to thought of the stupendous Importance of cplritnal Improvement, He has discovered to bis satisfaction that hla s3ul will lira through eternity, «nitre makes rfo effort to prepare himself for ibe great, journey. Was there ever more dead-alive stupidity than this? And when It to borne In mind how many In the ranks of Spiritualism there are lu this pitiful fungus condition, to It any wonder tbat the same sleepy fungi are fastened on the lyroams and SpRlluallst societies, weighing them down to hope- Ihh decay?

He did not believe la the doctrine of sponl-Deous generation a* Haeckel does, bat he believed to some extent as Darwin did In the doctrine of natural selection and the sur­vival of tho fittest; bat he ascribed to creation the origin of species. Between unthinking, unconscious and unreasoning matter, and thinking, conscious and reasoning substance, there was a chasm which could only in bis Judgment be bridged over by creation. Ills evolution was thelstlc; matter and its ener­gies could not be the cause of reason and moral nature. -v

This theism will seem very conservative to some scientific evolutionists; yet mark what a radical position (or a poacher to lake, and lead up the minds of the people to the great scientific hypothesis of evolution. This was Beecher’« last but by no means his least work. Great as were his political ideas,

Finally Beecher stands before ns the great­est preacher that America has yet produced. Forever more he will he silent to the world. What he has said will he committed to memo­ry as the utterance of a great man. Negro mothers will sometimes call their male chil­dren Henry Ward Beecher. The records of American eloquence will place his name high. As a popular lecturer he will be missed; you have nqne to fill his place. Plymouth church will fdrever onward bo celebrated. Beech­er’s work will make It glorious. Foreigners coming to this great country will stop to look at Its modest walls ami drop a sigh of heart-felt * honor. That church will be his monument; he will need no other. But we must part with him. thinking o f his highest virtue, the hlgh«st which any man here on earth can hope for, and that highest virtue Is this: He tailored for the realization In the world of a beautiful humanitarian idea.He sought the demolitimi of religious party Hues, He wanted to elevate the world.

And the Theory of Perception, Ordinary and Extraordinary.

irr ion* a rtiHDos, M. » ., t b ik jt t cn L L siix , n o n t . is .

It Is rather late In the day for professed Spiritualist* to Impugn the statements of another person, be he Spiritualist or other­wise, for the reason of Us inherent Improba­bility and on a p r io r i grounds to pat down a gentleman as a liar. Like many others I read the article entitled "Bewitched or Whntr by J. C. Hoffman, M, D„ and ihooirti much Interested In it laid it aside, as it did not appear to me that the writer had intend-ed il tó be more than a psychological extra vagante; not knowing any thing accurately ofhis lateutlon, stispeuâe of judgment was the only logical and honest mental attitude for_ Spiritualist to adopt.

The hard-headed nian of science who has no personal experience of spiritualistic wonders, rejects them, because, accepting th e‘’uniformity bf the order of nature" on grounds of Inductions, he l* unable to sur­render hi* faith la that uniformity withoutrunning this risk, metaphorically speaking, oí having the universe tumbljug abont his ears. A certain class of Spiritualists, on theother hand, more remarkably'for faith In the marvellous than for logical acumen. having once accepted the wonderful, (. e„ the unfa­miliar, as matter of fact, does not know where to draw the line and justifies its as­sent to anything put before thorn on the ground that the old order is passing away and that tho rnlesof the Spirit-world ignore and trample upon those of tho material world; not iinilerriandfhg that the former are and can be no more than an enlargement and generalization of those of the latter.

Between these two mentally antipathic classes, each logically consistent according to Its lights, we have the class of persons who presume to pick and choose as to what is to be believable; without the slightest shadow of justification from au actual knowl­edge of the subject la hand, they smuggle in unknown to themselves the argument from induction, which up to the present has prevented "Recognized Science from accepting the'facts of Spiritualism. They argue from what they have seen and what they have read, that there Is on inherent l probability in what another person relates coming within the range of his ni perle n . forgetting that In Hie present condition of human knowledge Spiritualism !a not one of ih e Inductive sciences and that, therefore, every manifestation of the extraordinary In nature should he individually studied and judged on the merits alone. A* the Journ­al very wisely remarks, without committing Itself to any pledge uh to the accuracy of Dr. Hoffman's statement:—"Only an unusual Increase or expansion of forces already rec­ognized by Stodeut* of the ocealt. Is neces­sary to make them all possible and prob­able"

I notice that some of yonr correspondents are Inclined to Regard the facts of Dr. Hoff­man's narrative os dne to the fact of his hav­ing BOfferei from forced hallucinations, the result of a suggestive Influence on the part of the witch. These persons would seem to infer that because such was tho case, the matter was easy of explanation and fell al­together within the category of the ordinary. Let us take the example of the worms which the doctor states he saw on the boy's leg when ho removed the bandage, ami which shortly afterward disappeared. Let i£. be granted that there was a real perception on the part et thé doctor, and that the witch was tera cousu lu It* production. Two cases then arise; either the perception was such

rto'te limited to himself, or It wo* snoh asIght be shared In by any other onlooker. In

the first ease we have the witch acting di­rectly on the nervous system of the doctor; in the second case wo have her acting indi­rectly on his nervous system, through the medium of some agent common to him and all other men. The one may be compared to a whisper Into the ear for the Individual's own Information; the other to »shout heard by listeners to an Indefinite distance.

The Nanc/utchoel has done much to nnrarel os far as pugribje these unexplained mysteries, which, utlffer tbe name of mesmerism, remained so long the objects of simple curiosity and amuse­ment but the phenomena of hypnotism are now being submitted to rigid scientific in­vestigation, and U Is seen how Tost the field is and how many medical and social prob­lems the study raises.

At any rate, hypnotism or "sug­gestion" to the hypnotized patient la a sub­ject of medical investigation that has at­tracted a great deoLof attention for tho past week or ho among all class* here, owing to the (act-that its medico-legal aspect Is now under examination. It Is easy to nee that It Is possible\JTor an Individual to acquire .in unlimited power of action npon another, ho as to be able to impose his will upon him and canse him to do whatever he likes. Ifthh can be proved, the sphere oMega| re-

mslbllity will be greatly modified, Pnb- uc-irphjlqn In France has been much moved liy these m eters, and the Government was urged to appoint a orimtnittee to examine Into the question. This has been done, and tl;e committee Is holdlngslltlngs every Thar*- dry lit the Salpetrlere Hospital. The com­mittee Is composed of magistrates and pro­fessors af mental medicine, with Dr. Brou- ardel, tlio Paris professor of legal medicine. The principal question-* so far examined In­to are the following; Can a person caaso another, when In a state of hypnotism, to sign receipts for money not received? Can a per­son In the same state, be forced against hla or her will, to draw a will In favor of any­body?

ThB modB of expBriniBntatlon Is as follows: A f e in u 11 * p a Uent.Mllft. A..

At first she refuses, but on the suggestion being forced npon her she gradually weakens, andfinally consen ta to accept t he offer, A s tamped

Bhe is-then awakened, and acknowledges that the re­ceipt was signed by her. but cannot remember under what clrcumstanc«* oho waa Inducedto sign It, or whether or not Bhegot tho money. Legally the receipt Is qntto valid, amd, accor­ding to tho presont law, tho bolder of It could collect payment If the signer had any property or means of payment. In regard to the second matter, that of compelling a per- aon to draw up a will In a certain way the experiment was equally successful. Mile. B. Is plunged Into ttie'hypnotlc state, and Dr. Bablniki then tells her that It Is absolutely necessary for her to make her will at once, and In bis favor. She objects st first, say­ing that she Is too young to die, etc. This lasts aboiit ten minutes, and she goes on to say al*o that she wishes to give her property to

weaken, and finally accepts tho proposition, saying that her property consist* of about 30 francs that she boa saved, and that she ha* a ring, a brooch, and a pair ot ear-rings. AH this, her sole property, she then agrees to bequeath to Dr. Bablnskl, and tbe next Thurs­day Is appointed for the signing of tho will. A notary ts to draw up the document, and Bhe will sign It. Moreover, Dr. Bablnskl sug­gests to her to say nothing about It to any one In the meantime, and to say when asked that ahe acted of her own free will and con-

lowing carious bat matter-of-fact Incident In the Jfadivoj, a local newspaper tn Bude- jorolce, Bohemia:

In the month of April, 1886, Vaclav Pod­braky, a stone caller of Hsjkovtc, appeared at the court of the royal Imperial Uhtrlet at Ylsolm against FrancisBollock, a quarry tu an of I, a u nor if», to comp# I Hip payment of II florins and 20 sons {auoat 60 cents of United States currency) and costa of salt, money which w a s dne the plaintiff for tabor per­formed la IB68 on Blanlk mountain, where he hod out and prepared stone for the Bohe­mian National Theater at Prague,

As a result of this appearance the said coart Issued a warrant of indebtedness (a. c. No. 30,713) obligating Francis Sollnek to the payment, who appealed therefrom to the Su­perior Court, In this appeal the latter ac- fcopwledged that V. Podbraky had worked for him for one year, 1808, preparing stone on ML BUnlk for use in the construction o f the Bohemian National Theater, but that a slab of rock, upon which he was working, haring broken away from the ledge known as Byeiskala he fell with It an immense dis­tance striking upon n crag called Skrejsov- skykamen; that this wan Terlded by many witnesses at the time and that he, therefore, onght to be regarded as dead; and although his body had sere^ been found It most bo ly­ing In Mma fa accessible ca*«- Bloody traces were seen npw»^ rocky projection of Bycli- M ir*« wefajurtipon rocks at a «11,11 greater depth^hahrir- The jQdlelarv committee bad oniid part of a human head covered with

ivalr at one point of the precipice, as also por­tions of brain scattered about, i The distance from the rock Byriskal* to the spot where the blood «tains were found is 1,910 feet, and It is, therefore, eery Improba­ble that V. Podbrsky could hare sureiTOd the fall; and the court haying considered alt the circumstances and place of the fall, declared him dead. The appellant, therefore, eaye that the plaintiff should prove the Identity of his person by witnesses worthy of confi­dence. and If he eafmot do bo he should be bold in custody for haring fraudulently de­ceived the court of the royal Imperial dis­trict and brought Into disrepute the honor and credit of the master qnsrrymin.

The court appointed a hearing, a day on which V. Podbraky should prove bis Identity, and exslsln where and how be had spent his tim e between 1808 and 1886; and as If wonld be necessary to punish him for having nn- lawfnlJy avoided military duty, he was put under arrest as a deserter.

Vaclav's father, Adam Podbraky, hla broth­ers John and George, bis sisters Rabat and Marr, his brothers* wires, the collector of Hrajkortc. Joseph Vaudrsrec and his neigh­bors, Peter Jana, Antonio Psnaska and Ma­thias Mondry, alt («stifled under oath to the Identity of his person. The witnesses affirm­ed that they had known him from Infancy and now recognise his features and his voice and that after an absence of eighteen years all the Inhabitant« of hla n ftlte village who formerly knew him at once recognised him. Bis family received him Joyfully, without any flpoht or hesitation as to bis being their m o , brother and brother in-law. and wel­comed him as one raised from the dead.

Tha personal Identification having been saffieieotlv established, the qaarryman. Frau­d s Sollnek, of Loudorlc, do longer contend­ed that the defendant was not v . Podbraky, and in presence of the court paid over to him hie salary of u florins S> sons for bis nine days' labor, with free and costa, and the mat­ter was regarded as terminated. Bot on ac­count of taring escaped military doty V.

-waa ordered to appear before the rail-itary justice of the 75th regiment of Infan try at Jiodridewo Hradec, and the following la a stenographic report of V. P--------'s de­fense as presented to the court:

"I do not believe that I have been absent from my hnrje for eighteen years and living on Mt. Blanlk »11 that- time, and yet aiy neighbors and all my friends whom 1 meet end converse with endeavor to nunre me that this is the fact. I see, truly, with my own eyes, that my father end brothers have grown very mo'cb older; that roy elsterB who were little girls when I la-4 saw them are now women grown and have children of their own. The spring before my accident I plant­ed a p e v tree, an apple tree and a walnut tree in my garden. During my absence these trees have grown- large and become fruit- bearing.

"Your Honor, I beg of you not to punish me as a deserter for having absented myself from military duty for eighteen year«, av It is claimed, thoagh, indeed, it has been proven to me that since the moment of my fall a very long period has elapsed. 1 know noth­ing about It of myself, I only remember that I was but a short time In Rian Ik, and on returning there T expected to begnpmy/w0ik for Bollnek. the quarryman, where it had left off, as I supposed, Ibe day before,

•* I distinctly remember how I fell from the Byel precipice at Mount Blanlk. for I nm in t ulTposseesion of my reason. We bad drilled, the ledge for the purpose of blasting with an explosive, expecting lo secure a largo bfack of «tone; 1 stepped aside too quickly and lost my foothold and fell upon the rock knowq as Bkrejorsky kamen. 1 felt my head striking upon rocky projection« and A« though It

ere breaking Into fragments. 1 then lost ,a!TNCpnHcIouHness; my thought« became clomfhd and' I felt nothing more. When I come to myself again 1 felt adreadfal pain In my bead. My ears rang as they do on re­covering from a drunken debauch. I was be­ginning to realize my situation when my eight again grew dim, my eyelids closed and everything «eemed whirling around me In circle« whose diameter grew less and Jess until at length all motion ceased and objects In- ked (iltit1, violet, i-i-d, »ellow and green In rapid succession, a few" moments longer and 1 again saw things tn their true aspect.

MI foand myself seated in a grand hall hav­ing iofly ceilings. Portraits of 9t. Cyrllle and St, Method, the early lekders pf the Slav people, were pendant upon the .walls. Prea- ently a door swung open and a girl of slight figure and with golden hair entered. Her eye« were blue, and she wsa eo beautiful: no beautiful! like unto the grace of dtrjaity! She scarcely touched the floor and a soft light surrounded her—Indeed, who seemed to be compo-ed of light herself, and Ulumlusted rays loaned, halo-1 Ike, from her besatifal person. I desired to accost this magnificent creature and oak her nueeUon«, bnt I could not utter ■'found: my lips trembled. I felt within me a delightful, vivifying warmth and yet I could not articulate a word*-' She drew near me, took my head between ner two hand«, looked for a long time into my eyrn. and bo cloaely that 1 felt her breath upon my Cheek. She seemed to give me a new and hitherto unknown life. A new wisdom sprang up within me—something 'unusual, Bubilme—like that of lettered men. and a feeling of noble dignity took .poesesilon of me and I was no longer a simple labored 1 realized that a great change had been wrought within me and t had become an­other man and certainly a better one.

“I looked Into the blue eye« of that angelic being and was inexpressibly happy. After a few moments «be rose, floating above me, and making a sign with her band she seemed as If beckoning to some Invisible person. The door then immediately flew open—the same through which sbe had passed in—and there entered several men who quietly and la a stately manner grouped around me, It Bwmedjo me as though they were In oousal- tatlon together as to what wonld b« the prob­able result of roy fall.

“I saw the ancient father Lech, tbs great Prince Samo.Jaboj with Slavoj, Boleslav, the princes and kings ofxthe Premysl family, wbo were now To reconciliation with the family of theVrsovel; I saw King Charles and his «on Vaclav, and Georges Podebrad, John ZLska, the two Prokope, Has, Jeroaym, Coxetech, Dallmll, Eomensky, Viehrd; I saw also onr national reformers—Hanks, Safarlk, JnogmoDD, Palacky. Harlieek and many,

, many qthen whom I cannot name. After H h»e came the early saints, the tllnmlna- tori and educators of the. Slav people who sang. ‘Give praises with the voice. 0 people,- for God Is with yon.*M As they came near me St. Method opened a large book that he was carrying In his left hand and with bis right he pointed to acme words which ware- written therein In golden letters. The words were not written (n^haractere like oars, and although I Mdjrffer been tang tit to writ« or read •aeb'-ietrere 1 «tally read and compre­hended their significance. Tbs purport waa, "Beet seen red, the truth will rendet yon hap­py.” Tit. Cyrllle lifted no a. cross and gave ma his benediction, paying, “Receive, 0 ihy natton, my blearing; I will make thee firA among the first rwHl give thee dominion over tby brethren and will multiply thy peo­ple u the SUrs of heaven, and I will 11 lami­nate thee ta with the midday son."

HI fell upon my knees and kissed his hand, The men then turned and filed maJsetleaUy away to the sound of celestial marie to me unknown, and withdrew throwgh the doer by which Ussy had entered, all ringing with re­sounding vetoes a chores whose theme waa, *Tby Resurrect loo.’ “

"When they had disappeared, the beautiful girl wllb clumped hand« alone remained with me. I looked upon her with astonUhed ad­miration and theie words dropped, of them- selviw, from my Bp*. ‘Who are you?* ’’‘ " ‘I am,' she answered, 'a tutelary spirit.' ®

“ ‘Go, and be happy!*“I attempted to seize and kiss the extended

band of this beautiful angel,but both the an­gel. and the hand had disappeared; in Its place was a gray cloud of vapor that floated up to the celling.' I stood gazing -after it when, lo! tUe-eriBng melted away and I be­hold the «loads of nature sailing aloft in the bine sky. and 1 heard the wind whistling among the tree tops. I found myself In s forest and entirely alone. It was evening and I was nearly famished, having eaten nothing since morning, and I hastened home.

And now, .gentlemen, yon may de­cide a« to whether I am guilty or not guHty. My testimony la ended."

The royal-imperial military tribunal pro­nounced os Us verdict that Vaclav Podbraky wait innocent by reason of a declaration made by some physicians that the defendant was a harmless fanatic who bad the fixed idea of having been tost for eighteen years in Mount Blanlk.

I» (U* m a * e* U* IWUcJotaaiwactdoU Joan»«.Seveisl articles In the Journal of February

26th, while treating aissimllar subjects, all tend to one obvions conclusion— a belief in spirit return alone should pot be permitted to pass as Spiritualism. In the closing par­agraph of the editorial on "Tbe Number of Spiritualists," too present, In almost Identi­cal language, the view I hare often expressed as to the "mission of modern Spiritualism," lo claiming it lo be the permeating principle that persists during the erofatlon of a ll things; bat while it might be Impossible to bring aboat a "separation of Its believer« from the r«et of tbe world by party lines.” yet Its promoters ought to unite tn a disin­terested effort to prepare the wav for a better understand lag of Its law« as demonstrated throngh phenomena, A* between those Spir­itualists wbo woald lay claim for It to all tbe progrès« of the niosteenth century ; and those who are willing to let the credit go where it w ill—so long as tbe world gets the benefit of their effort«t-I sympathize strofigly wltb the latter. Hence, when a minister's daughter, In her own way. aee* fit to spiritu­alize tbe church» by letllog In a ray of light ou old superstition* and forcing the "Gat» Ajar," I am not among thèse woo refuse to enoonrage her if—«till Tn bar own way. whli* pandering to a her vile prsey—«he deals ont gfeat chunks of truth that are destined to demoralize theological digestion the world over among people wbo would gat this truth fa no other way.

Where large fees are exacted for tbU knowl­edge, there temptations come also, nod the cause has thus frequently had Ifa standard dragged through the mire. It is not a profit­able business to deal the truth out to the people, so rarely is It appreciated.

By patient delving after facts, this philosophy 1« grad­ually absorbed through spirit intercourse; yet men greedily seek in the first instance the most marvelous phenomena thirty years of earnest Investigation and study have yet produced, and stand ready at the -risk of oor- ruptlng it« ehinael«, to pay tbe price asked for It or Its semblance. They are ever call­ing, with open mouths, for "More!” "More”' and so eager art* they for wonders that they never «top to Inquire, "What does It all mean?" Should they start with home cir­cle«. tbe interpretations would be aaslmilated as fast as tbe phenomena are presented, thus paving tbe way for an understanding of sub

After* that, any home can have Us own channel for Instruction, con traated with which public meetings are of hut secondary Importance. Thus onr audi­ences keep changing,—rarely Increasing,— as the older attendants dropoff and strangers take their place.

The anniversary exercises i t the Metropol­itan Temple In San Francisco this year were a grand auroras. Very large and enthualaa- tic audiences attended each session; theplatform decorations, floral and otherwise, ware artistic and handsome; the address ofMrs. Watson was more than usually eloquent and inlpirlog; the address of the witter ap­pears to bare Been generally well recelred; the excellent nnd timely short addresses of Mm. Robinson and Mr. Hawe*,aud the original poem of Mrs. Mathews, were liberally applaud­ed; the musical selections, rocal and instm- mental, were charmingly rendered and most cordially greeted; the beet of good feeling prerailed, and all seemed to hate a ihorcngh- ly “good time.** ,,

ThB exorcises In other balls were also largely attended and were of a rarled char­acter. Instead of one day being devoted to the anniversary proceedings, as In former years, both the Society of Progressive Spirit­ualists and Mrs. Ada Foy extended the exer­cises over two days; and great to tercet was manifested on each occasion. Very fall and juat reports of all the meetings, tree from misrepresentation or derisive comment, were published In the ¿Jail» /iromtecr; and this commendable action, it is hoped, may serve as a precedent to the press In general In this city. ' i

SUJJDAY HOHNI.KI), If Alien tiVlSS?-The front of the grand organ In Metropoli­

tan Temple Was handsomely draped with American flags and banging baskets of flow- era. Numerous ferns and pots of lovely (low­ers were tastefully arranged about the plat­form, forming altogether a beantlfnl and Impressive sight. After a well rendered vol­untary by the organist, Mr. 3. Arlllaga. who la regarded as the beet In our city, and the singing of a hymn by.ths congregation. Mrs, LaTerna Mathew« read, with effect, a chaste and striking original poem, commemorative of the advent of Spiritualism and the various blessings consequent thereupon. Mrs. L, Dodge and quartette then feelingly aang the solo and .ehorns, “Where can the sonl find reatr After which an anniversary address entitled, “Value of Spiritualism to the world, was delivered by Wm. Emmette Coleman.

After another vocal selection, Mrs. 11, h v Robinson delivered a brief address, her prin­cipal theme being tbs Importance of defeat­ing the adoption of the new charter soon to be submitted to the voters of San Francisco, which contains a provision authorising the licensing of spiritual mediums In conjunc­tion with clairvoyants, fortune-tellers, astrol­oger«, etc. She strongly deprecated mediums w in g placed under police surveillance and urged that no discrimination shonld be made against mediums any more than against any of the teachers or ministers of any other sect or belief.

The concluding remarks of the morning service were made by Mr. G. H. Hawes, who, after referring to the vast quantity of good In various directions which the planet bad received from Spiritualism, dwelt upon what It was destined to acqotppHsh in the future, lnKludlng the practical utilization of mental telegraphy, direct and Instantaneous commu­nication. between mind and mind.

“The fame of this lady ms a most successful speaker In the cause of modern Spiritualismla already widespread, and her effort of last evening is pronounced by her friends to have been one of the ablest ever made by h e r ....The lady ?ra# attired In an elegant black silk dress, and her general appearance waa that of a woman of a high order of Intellect. Her feature* are strong and well defined, and her voice of that quality which made Itself heard to the extreme end of the house.“

The follow!ug report of the evening's ex­ercises is based partly upon my own notes

J iken at the time and partly upon the Ex- hiiu-r report. After an eloquent Invoca- on Dja Mrs. Watson, Miss K. Beresford Joy

rendered^n excellent style a vocal solo enti­tled “TbeWew Kingdom," and for an encore she gave “Home, sweet home." with much feeling and expression. Mias Joy, who is one of San Francisco's beat cantatrlces, favors the Temple audiences every Sunday evening with two choice selections, which are Inva­riably rendered la charming style and are vociferously applauded and encored. The Golden Gats Society Is to be congratulated upon having secured the-services of ao com­petent an orNtfe, and her sweet singing Is by, no means a minor attraction of the Sunday services at the Temple.

"Mrs. Watson then advanced to the front of the stage and stood with eyes eloeed, as if wrapt In the deepest revery. Her Introduc­tion, which waa de Llvered In a deliberate and expreselve manner, was eloquent and thor­oughly rhetorical.''

MBS. WATSON'S ADDRXS3,She said: Touched by the charm of the dear

old song (“Home, Sweet Home"), I eau not but wonder If those we have loved and-lost havenot lia tened to the same singing and echoed

hful words.again those sweet and troth!The phenomena of nature are God's words

to man, From the rainbow and the cloud to the crash of worlds — from the fugitive thought Id an Idle brain to the heaving sigh of the grieving heart—these phenomena de­clare onto os God's law, and are. In proper-

have been haunted houses and graves, seers of visions; prophets and psychic experiences for which there has been no Interpretation If we except that offered by modern Spiritu­alism. The ancients believed,In delflc men, —men who came again to guide their states­men and eminent men. from'Socrates to Pla­to, from Jesus Christ to the idved ones of onr own household. The spirit that presides in the opening flower is wrapped in as profound a mystery as that which we strive to unravel in the awful hour of death. These phenom­ena have been In all ages, ancient or modern. From the voice tbál whispered to Socrates to the voice that cried to a SanJ of Tareas. “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mo?" and when it was questioned It answered, “1 am Jesna;" and from th|s the unbeliever Bant be­came converted to the Christian worker Paul. We have had so many evidences of this toys- terioua conriecUou of the efcen and unseen worlds that we must answer the qncstlon. "Do the dead return?” In Ihe nfflrmatlve. Ail that Is most «acred In the Christian Scrip­ture Is grounded on this, that there Is Inter­course between the disembodied spirit and the spirit In the flesh.—the seen and the un- wen world. White to the Christian these are miracles, the philosophical Spiritualist finds in them simply the Indications of that great bond which un it« the two world«,—the spir­itual and the material.

This bond Is dearly Indicated from the be-

Íinning to the end of the Scriptures. Take rom them the testimony of the Intervlew-i

held with the spirits and the spiritual princi­ples inculcated by eo-cal led supernatural revelations, and you have left mere shreds and particles that are stumbling-blocks to the truth seeker. 1 have heard it said that the Spiritualist denies the truth of the Bible. I answer. Spiritualism is pnroly eclectic,

fathering truth wherever it finds ».whether n Christian or in Hindu Bible; therefore,

when wé find In the Christian Bible facta that correspond with known truth, we think there may be verity In them. „

The term Spiritualist with many causes _ shrug of the shoulder or a sneer ou the Up«, yet they will readily believe that Balaam's as« waa controlled by an angel and became clairvoyant, and that a hand wrote on the wall of Belsclwzzar’s palace. You will be­lieve these statements made by men dead 1,800 or 5,000 years ago; they are stale arid acceptable, hot if a man of to-day tells yottof similar things, yon turn away with a doubt an to his sanity. Will you rest your faith up­on the living present or the dead post? If the Bible is true, If it can be relied upon as a book of fact, if it la as true as any work ou geology, then the dead do return and are not all devils. Samuel was one of God's chosen. The woman of Kndor hss been regarded as an old witch, an old hag; but read the story In the Bible and yon will see that she was a very respectable.woman, and told the truth. The story of Samuel's return la true, if the Bible Is true. If Samuel could come back, why not my brother John? Who were Paul, Peter, J&mesV-They were jast ordinary men, no more worthy than most of my hearers to­night; and if the angels could come to them, cannot they come to us as well?

Nothing can be said against the great phil­osophical Spiritualist Socrates, the teacher of Plato, lie was a martyr to principle just as much as was Jesus; IiIh death was as calm and heroic as was that of Jesus; even more eo If we credit the history of the two.

A belief in immortality has become almost universal. It Lb a beautiful thought that God. the universal spirit. Is utterly Impartial, so that the savage may feel the touch of the divine wings, visit any savage trihe and you will find Ideas that ran parallel with the Ideas of Splrltnalism. There la a,law of sym­

pathy between the savage and his dead friends, and we find the Idea of Immortality indigenous to every sol]. ,

It may be asked, why is it the Splrlt-world has waited eo long to assert Itself, to make itself evident? I answer, why has the world waited so long for Ihe great UMttattoOt the railroad, the telegraph? With the steam and electrical age there dawned the spiritual age. to combat the agnosticism that was growingup. You may pay there te so much fraud, so much to be explained_________ __ _____ away as legerdemainand ocular delusion. Have we not been doped so often by tricksters? Wa shall rule these out of coart then. We will rule out all the dark circle, flesh and blood materialisations, cabinet stances, slate writing, etc. Where then shall we go for our facte, or have we facte? 1 am answered, yea, millions of them. These are to be found at home with Spiritu­alists who never visited a medium in all their lives; at home, with your wives and husbands and children. Why, Spiritualism La not a new thing. It has been In all times. John Wesley had rapt long,ago.—tong before thir­ty-nine vears ago,—and his sister Catherine Wesley believed In Immortality only on ac­count of the spiritual manifestations, per­taining to her family.

I have uo more belief in the flesh and blood

Í(reduction« of cabinets than the most cavli- ng skeptic, and I.have no mantle of charity

to throw over the peeudo-medlnm who for the sake of gain trades In human agony; bat I dqrknow tnat.noiong our friends there is the gift of olalrvoyance. Some of the great­est phllqsirfpbeia, scientists, judges, poete, preachers, believe Ip It. The clairvoyant sees the Impalpable forms of the Splrlt-world. In the eyes of the old theology deeth U the end of all, but In modera Spiritualism It la the beginning of a better and brighter exist­ence, and one wheretn those gone before aré watching us and around us always. Aud evidence Is superabundant. There are peo-,

fde who can testify to seeing, feeling, hear- ng those whose eyes have been long closed

lu death. How many time« have the Itpe of the dead whispered to you words of happi­ness? Even little children bsve declared: "There Is papa come back, though dead a year ago.” These are God’s words to man. -

What la to be the effect on man If the dead do return? What has revolutionized the old forms of religion, but Spiritualism? What has upset the -foundation -stones of the old theological temple, throwing “original sin” to on* side, “total depravity" to the ether, while "heir drops clear through to nowhere?

To-night we hear tea thousand angel choirs tinging to the world, There Is no death. Is It not beantlfnl to think of H?

Remedial suffering is the doctrine of mod­ern Spiritualism. Let us look at the hast of excommunicated preachers, who for tbs of­fense of h iring too much brain have been cast outside the fold—who for reasoning aud thinking for themselrea have fallen under the bon. Bat Is It not true that today the liberal pulpits are the most popular of all? Ia It not so that the returning dead has giv­en new life,—has built new altars, and bridged the chasm between the doubting heart and the world that was only dreamed of and woe not known? This is the mission of modern Spiritualism.

Do not misunderstand what I have saidconcerning the mediums. I do not find fault

Surely they get little enough for what they may do, But I want thftn to be honest Intheir purpose, upright In their lives.

In conclusion, 1 would__________,__ „ _____ eay to you whomay be lucllnod to sneer at Spiritualism, to bo careful. In any circle of Life you may be treading on homo one's toes, for the believers In this beautiful faith are everywhere. It Is a grand subject, a glorious oqe. It ls,tn fact, the genesis and destiny of the sonl.

Mrs. Watson closed her most eloquent ad­dress amid great ripplause.

Miss Joy then sang “Angels ever bright and fair," and gave for an encore "The Star- Spangled Banner.”

The chairman, Mr. C. H. Wadsworth, before dismissing the audience,stated that the Sun­day morning session« of the society would hereafter be discontinued,but that Mrs. Wat­son would continue to lecture each Sunday evening as before.

MRS. FOTZ'a jntDtUHS' JCBlXKE- A “Mediums* Jubilee.” In commemoration

of the anniversary, under the auspices of Mrs. Ada Fove, was held at Washington Hall on Sunday evening, the 27lb, After brief ex­planatory remarks by Mrs. Foye, Mrs. M. J. Standee delivered an address upon the origin and history, troths and beauties of Spiritual­ism. Judge Smith gave a short nddress on Bible Spiritualism, and Mrs, Amanda Wig- gin followed In denunciation of the proposed new charter, owing to its unjust dlscrimina- llotuwtkusl mediums. Mrs. M. A. Ellis spokeof fEe elevating moral tendencies of Splrltu alleili, concluding with a poem; after which

the well known medium, Mrs. J. J . Whitney, narrated the circumstances attending her conversion to Spiritualism and her medlutn- iBtic development. After other brief adiireas* es. the meeting closed with oneof Mrs. Foy o's Ifwt-sdqtices. Among the communications Teceivedwqre one In French and sevnal in German, and as ustini a large nnmber of striking tests were given.

The "Jubilee” was continued by Mrs. Foye the following Sunday. April 3rd. at the same time and place, the hail being completely filled. After a few remarks by Mrs. Foye, Mrs. J. Schleflinger read an essay on “Spirit­ualism os taught during the past thirty-nine years." It waa a concise history of the won­derful strides made by the new religion since its Inception In 1848. Judge Swift, with mingled humor aud pathos, contrasted the difference in treatment of the Spiritualists of old and those of to-day. Following this Mrs. Lina Crews Smith, a recefitly developed me­dium, rendered a piano selection. The young lady is said to play automatically, and with­out being acquainted with a note of mnslc Is enebled to render the most difficult pieces lu aq exceptionally brilliant manner. The meeting terminated with the usnal alanceof Mrs. Foye.

TE1K FnOGRESaiYH SPIRITUALISTS.The Society of Progfesslve Spiritualists be­

gan Us anniversary exercises on Thursday afternoon at Scottish Hall. The wall«, gal­lery and stage were adorned with numerous pictures said to have been produced under spirit direction«, and profuse floral decora­tions, streamers, etc., also graced the room. The Examiner remark« an follows concerning the spirit picture«: "Among the paintings with which the front of the gallery was dec­orated were several portrait« of well known mediums, lecturers, etc., including an excel­lent life size picture of Mrs. Watson, the In­spirational speaker, whose pleasant and kindly face called forth frequent apprecia­tive remarks from the many present with whom- she Is personally acquainted. The art collection also Included several views supposed to represent scenes In the Splrlt- world, a« well as a number of paintings of some of those beings who are supposed to In­habit the celestial sphere. All were notice­able foy beamy of conception and a more than usual degree of skill In execution.” J

liter an Invocation by Mrs. E. F. SJcKln- ley, marked by much poetic Imagery of thought and expression, Dr, Feet opened the, conference with an original poem deecrlp tire of the Inauguration of spiritual phenome­na at Rochester 35* years ago. He was fol­lowed by Mrs. Hendee, who said that this was a day which all shonld revere, and frofn which Spiritualists should date the begin­ning of new and noble resolves In the way of Btudy and Investigation, It was neces­sary that all should persevere. Spiritualism wants no mockery la Its religion, but sin­cere and earnest work.

Some one w ill think 111 of you If yqu Iden­tify yourself with Spiritualism. Friends, can yon eat or sleep or breathe for another? You cannot. Then learn, too. to live for your­selves. Spiritualism Is life,—a nobler life. It promises to save you. Then cling to It re-

Brdless of all Its petty trlfleq of artificial e and society. We know that we have been

tabooed. We have been called freelovere, anir all that. But we have risen above 11. We have gone forward, for the angels are with us and onr cause Is the truth.

A. Thompson of Philadelphia followed. He began by saying: What has Splrltualhmpro- ducedlnthe posUhlrty-nin« years? What has It done for Its believers? Has It, made them Ignorant or Immoral? I answer for one that it has made me a better mdn. Do yon find Spiritualists In State prisons for theft and robbefy? Stall»tics show tbat|p*re are few Bach cases Indeed. Therefore,-we say that Spiritualism la a great and a noble religion, one that we should love cud that we do love.

My friend«, oar loved ones do not come back simply to Rite raps, tip tables and all that. They come back-to make us Spirit­ualists, to teach us to be just and righteous to ourselves and our tellowimeo. If this 1« Immorality, then I have become Immoral. If It is wrong to believe that one must answer for hla own deeds aud work qnt his own sal­vation, then I have been taught to go wrong.

Mrs, E. F. McKinley next read an original poem. "The Birth of Modem Spiritualism." and Mrs. Julia 8c h) eel ngerTO 1 to wed with an other original ppcm and an essay, both de­voted to the first manifestations of spirit phenomena. There Is now not a portion of the civilized world, the writer claimed, where the existence of Spiritualism and its great truth are not recognized, and Its influence for good acknowledged and appre­ciated. All the great discoveries o f the

■world, were attributed Ur the lu habitants of the 8ptrit-w«ld, acting upon the mlpdeof living men, ivea though' the latter wire ut­terly unco nations of this supernal aid, It was thus with Oolamboe, voyaging In search of a new world; with Benjamin Franklin, draw­ing the lightning from the «tend; and with

Mrs. Smith (nee Crewe) the musica! medi­ta, next played a Dumber of Inspirational

piano selection«, which were received with much applause, several encores being Insist­ed upon.

The various picture« which hung about the walls, as well as a number of smallor.views, all said to have been executed with the aid of artists long since passed to the Spirit, world, were then made the subject of explan­atory remarks by President Wilson. Among the portraits were twelve grouped and rep­resenting the Apostles, and another the “Woman of Budor," whom Mr. Wilson said the clergy were so fond of styling the "Witch of Kndor," without warrant from Biblical writings. By Spiritualist« she will be con­sidered as one of the first among; mediums.'

Anolher-plctarh represented the head and bust, life size, of a beaatlfui woman, said to be the Empress Josephine, the wife of the greet Napoleon, and said to have been exe- ented entirely by spirit workers, no human hand having touched it.

A nnmber of choice vocal selections were interstrewn between tbeepcechedand poems, rendered by J. II. Magnlre, Mrs. Fannie K. Cressy and Mrs. Jennie Clark.

In the evening at 8 o’clock a long and va­ried programme was carried out. consisting of recitations, song«,''dances, violin solos, ventriloquism, banjo duets, etc., at the termi­nation of which ihe floor was cleared and dancing waa Indulged In till a Late hour.

A continuation of the anniversary exer­cises,'under the auspices of the ProgressiveSpiritualists Society, was held at Washington Hail, Bnnday afterno, afternoon, April 3d. The Pres Idem, H. C. Wilson, called the attention of the audience to an Inspirational picture by Mrs. Levy of this city, emblematic of the grand features of Spirit ha Item, which was hanging on the wall in the rear of the plat­form.

War ws9 depicted. Peace pointing to Jus­tice on her left, and further on was to be seen the scroll emblematic ofHearntng and wisdom and intelligence. The cottage of the Fox girl« waa represented with a host of ministering angels hoveringabont the thresh­old. Then came Hope, then the medium with her attendant spirit giving cqmmnnlcatlon from the Splrlt-world. Then nfWdc and then the death bt(l scene, or, a s ' Spiritualism terms it, the birth cf the spirit into the spirit life. The guardian angel of the de­parted spirit was seen decking the bier with choicest flowers. The spirit form Is being met by the carrier-dove, and farther on the welcoming angel and beyond the »olden gates ajar,—the final abode of the spirit world. No number of sphere« was represent­ed In the picture, explained the speaker, be­cause Spiritualism believed that the spheres were countless.

Judge Collins was the first speaker. Me­diums. he claimed, had demonstrated to the world that there was another Hfe. The mis­sion of Spiritualism was to demonstrate that this Is a beantlfnl world. But the church has had the domination of the human mind foroentarLee, and she has endeavored all this thse to Impress upon man th§t this t^orld was a vale of tears, and no happiness to be had until the hereafter. Bnt SplritnoRam says, 1! we are good and wine, the kingdom of heaven can be built right here at once, Spiritualism has done away with the "sweet by-aud by" and “the other side of Jordan" and teaches ns that happiness is to bo had on this side. The world Is what we make H.

The speaker then referred at length tn the manner In which children should be brought bp. He counseled kindness on all occasions. He said: “If I could only Impress on the mlode of the people that children can be brought up In kindness! Spiritualism teaches that every mau, woman amf-cKltd does that which his conditions force him to do, and each one of ns can Influence the settings of these conditione if we only try.”

Spiritualism teachesnsto Hftonrselvea np higher and higher. TV> are now In tho low­est grade, but we shall rise to the highest, growing better and better. This question is eo grand that It ought to be mode a special subject from Bnnday to Snnday, to show what It cau and does do for msnklnd.

■ -vMrs. Thompson said that mortals did not yet know how much benefit could he derived from spirit interconrse. She claimed that Spiritualism had broken the chalnaof super­stition; It bad shown God. not aa a person­ality bnt as a sweet and beneficent iplrttu- allfy: It waa bringing man nearer to God, making him more Intimate,—break!ngfipwn the ¿bars 'that bad heretofore kept him so fsr awsy from the Creator. Do not / forget that every one of you has In the Sptrlt-^rorld some friend who te watching over you, who Is trying to lead you Into a higher sad nob­ler existence. Always remember that there Is some one waiting by your aide trying to assist yon. Always remember when sorrow Is with you that there are those lu spirit life who can help to bear your burden, and tell you of a better world,

P. G. Anderson said that, through Spirit­ual tern. man haa learned that he should make this life what It should be, and let the other life' take care of Itself. Splritnaltem. has taught, him 'that he Is responsible for the conditions by which he 1« surrounded; that ire should make bis home as calm, as beauti­fu l as peaceful aa H well can be. It tell» him that there are duties her* to perform before we Teach the other Hfe; It teaches him to do his dnty to his brother. Our doty ts to our- ee!ve»h*re and now, and not to tho future.

Mr«. Aitkin af ld r rM O d the meeting briefly and **]4 that Spiritualism taught charity to one another. She eared not for ridicule, for she knew that the time wonM coma when the merits of Spiritualism wonla be proclaimed to all. Always remember that the man who dose uoVtake care of his own^ntorcsts can­not be oLsny nee to bis neighbor. She then described several spirit forma seen by her In the andtenee.

Mrs. Miller followed In an Impassioned ad- dreea on the power of the prese, and the abuas of It# power by many journals

A KEEN OBSERVER IN MEXICO.

Dr. N. B. Wolfe, of Cincinnati, author o f that Interesting hook, “ Startling Facts In Modern Spiritualism." and an occasional contributor to the Journal, Ib travelling in Mexico, and aa usual takes in all there is to eee. The T lm tt-tìta r of Cincinnali, pub- fishes a letter from him dated at the City or Mexico, March 25th. Below is a part of It:

lam now in the City of Mexico and have beau here aererai days. It Is a etranve aud imprw0iro city, nnllke any other I have ever seen, though in tome respects it resembles Havana.

In contrast with Cincinnati. Mexico was more than two hundred years old when Cin­cinnati was born. It had llonrtehed and be­gun to fade Into “the aero and yellow lea f“ before the Queen City had opened Us eye« inlife. It Lb now In a condition of decay, dying

to any part of Mexico Christ was put to death on a cros« about 1853 years agol Many peo­ple born and reared tn Cincinnati do not seem to know this facl, or. If they do. do not Beam to care. A visit to Mexico would quicken their comprehension and stimulate ihelr moral Impulses. Engraved and carved im­age« of the Reformer of Nazareth lare dis­played everywhere. Shrines and r‘ »acred edifices“ are as plentiful here an are saloons tn Cincinnati. They are venerated for their age and history has forgot their origin. Bell music fills the air all day tong, and thou­sands obey the metal call to prayer, I have visited fifty “sacred edifice«" In Mexico, and without exception find their wails decorated with paintings of saints, Jesus and the holy martyr«.

The Cathedral of Mexico la a great picture gallery. Its ornamentation, Its coetly altars, aud Its amplitude alve to It a character for gfandenr without atreqaal—certalnly a su­perior—in any chnrch la America, While making my round of admiration in this pal­ace of art, a policeman of tho place, noticing I wo« a stranger and heretic, too, pointing to several pictures on the wail’s said In an un­dertone and with a somewhat ploua accent, that the moot of these ■ holy pictures were painted by tho old maitere, which I readily believed, as they had the stamp or age upon them, but when he pointed to the most sacred

filctureof ail, the "Resurrection of Christ ram the Tomb." and «aid that “it was mlr-

acntoualy painted by .God himself," I felt 1 ' i l l o t ............................................had no right to swallow that chestnnt. and. forgetting I was surrounded by a cloud of sacred I mage* aud wUneHsen, I ash eve rated my iiiitn'Uaf by bluntly telling him that he lied.

The devotee turned np bta eye« as if I had desecrated the place anil 'aid something hor­rible. He crossed his hands over bte breast, and, with bowed head, began to pray, perhaps for my annihilation. Qaieu sane?

Ia Mexico Snnday Is a holiday to all bat the peon and the bnrro. “They sweat and fardils bqar^the same as on any other day. Shops do business without distinction of the day.

We entered the court of the palace at 10o’clock In tb# morning, and ware received

From this guard was detailed an escort or gnard to direct our footsteps through “the hails of the MoutezomasP These are, bo to «peak, on tho second floor of the building. The palace building occupies a square, as large a« the main plaza of the city. Amending the great stairway, we passed through several carpeted* and furnished roomi, when we entered the great reception hall. In tills ball State re­ceptions are held, and as Judge Manning bad quite recently passed through soch a diplo­matic ordeal as Minister of the United Stales to Mexico, he gave us a graphic description of the formula. The hall Is 500 feet In length and 10O feet wide. The President and his Cabinet sit on the elevated platform at one end. At the other end Is the magnificent heavy velvet hanging on which la worked'ln bullion the coat-o(*arnu of Mexico. Along the walla of this great hall are displayed f nil- sized portraits ofhlstorlcai Mexicans. Prom­inent among them Friar Hidalgo, rated, (b e - Washington of Mexico, occupies a diitlu-

Sfished position. He it waa who aroused e Mexicans to strike for their Independence

The passeo wan thronged with car* rlages going to the bull fight, while the side­walk» were crowded with pedestrians.. About music stands hundreds were congregated to hear the bands play. As we pM»od under the aqueduct fields of the maguey plant and aweet'Senled clover greeted our senses. Wo then entered the Cyprus shady road leading up the hill, past the Cadet Monument, to the gates of the Castle. Here we delivered our pass to an orderly, who carried It to the gov­ernor lu charge, who had been apprised of our routing. In a few mlnfites he appeared in person and greeted the United .States Minister with a cordial handshake. We

Following the Governor, we were taken through all parts of the Castle, Mr. Butler, the Secretary* of Legation, acting as Inter­preter. The chstle haa recently Men fitted up In a sty le'for surpassing our "White Hons«” as n home for the President of the 'Republic. President Diaz la making prepa­rations to take possession of it very aoou. The furniture and palatine* here shadow those sif the palace, hut it Is said that all this magnificence Is owing to the genius and lib- erallty of Maximilian, The flat roof of the castle la covered with a flower garden and growing trees. Fountains play here as they

^do at the base of the hill. The views from this roof are o f surpassing beauty and grand­eur. We stand 6u a high hill, in the middle of a plain whose diameter Is not lees than fifty miles. The valley Is lovely to look apon. Checkered with houybd Bndrfarms and feed- Ing herds, no poet haa power to paint It in word-colors more lovely than It is, skirted by mountains whose heads are enveloped In clouds or wreathed In snow. From this point the crater of Popocatapetl la distinctly seen, high above all Its compeer», painted in glory M>lccolor* by the setting sun.

To the West, at a short distance, Is seen the historic battle ground of, '* Molina del Roy;" to the vast the City of Moxleo and the lake beyond.¿Here on this historic roof Maximilian and

A lady writing from Texas to the Journal. says of society there: It le terrible to seehere bo little progress in the Inner life. What Is worth working for bat the future life? I see those about me living as If to day had no end, laying np np store» of thought and Infor­mation for old age, and what will li be when there I* nothing Intellectual to fall back up­on? 1 see white hairs without honor, and the follies of youth prolonged Into middle age. Contempt and neglect la the portlou meted oat to the aged on the part of the youpg. What will be the portion meled out to those In tarn, when their feet are in the vale of year«? I proposed, not long ago, that a society ehould be gotten Tip for the prevention of cruelty to father« mother« and grandparents. 1« It no In your part of tne country? I think the He­brews, of all Americans, treat their« more satisfactorily than any other religionist«, i f wo could hIiow the young people of this land the horror with which they are looked at In Kurope, It might be a good modifying Influ­ence. American political institution«, and educational also, are desirable, but, certain­ly, not onr kind of Qllal duty and respectful □tanner» lo'elders,"

This friend and correspondent of the Jour­nal wonld find, at the North, a lee* marked want of respect than «bn describes, but still a great and deplorable deffcdency.

th is defect Is greatly visible among the fashionable and the wealthy. Yoang women rule over their parent* or treat them with disdain. Crude, unintelligent, conceited girls and boys take the reins Into their own hands and work their will, intent only upon hav­ing " n good time." Yooth* revert to their father as "the governor," "the oM man,” and girl« flirt and flannt In the face of the meek mother whose existence is devoted to attendance upon her unpromising progeny.

The city «freeta and village walks are full of each; the picture 1« not overdrawn. Gen­tleness, self-sacrifice, discipline and modesty is an old story among girls reared In this liberty, and boys ran into vleq and become notorious.

This license given to youth 1« an American habit. Of course there are natures so sweet that nothing can spoil them, bat the major 1-, ty fall to Becure that training which will make them wise and noble men and women.

Whose Is the fault? The parents* of coarse. Because Puritanic repression 1« bad, they content themselves with lhe opposite ex­treme. Humored in every freak, petty ty­rants grow In every thing but grace a* they gTow in years. Disrespectful to their elder«, undisciplined. Impatient with the proper re­straint« of borne, they end their careers a* fast men and women.

Spiritual philosophy teaches a better wgy: Love should stndy the effect ofnnitfuAiiJanl- geuee upon the child. We dwell too much In the transitory; too little in the perman­ent. "Whit wifi bo the best thing for my darting ten year* from now—twenty year*, what will best promote Its physical, mental and spiritual unfolding Id the long run?— not what does It crave to-day,” Is the^vlae parent*« thought. - '

This Involves care and self-denial op the part of the parent. How can parents give what they have not? The sedd of selMndnl-gence grow« bitter fruit for after year*, and unwise parents canae misery for thi and their children.

A great Ides, a sublime parpoee.'slowly tak­ing form, through years, possibly centurlee, suddenly poesesses an Indlvtdnal and stands forth Incarnate. This Individual is then the concrete expression of the beet Intuitions and highest aspirations of his time. Through him the Ideal becomes real, and freah impetus quickens humanity's phed toward the good. Thn Influence of each an Individual Is Incal­culable. The memory of hia character Is potept with uplifting force; the more potent In that he has but exemplified some of the gTand possibilities of human effort-

Beveiity-elght years agd. on a barren, deso­late farm, in a mean hovel, was born one who within a life of fifty six years was to reach the plnnacla of fame, with a stroke of bis pen free millions of fellow men, and finally baptize liberty with a martyr’s blood. Born In obscurity, raised In poverty, llvlqg among Illiterate, simple-minded people, neither ori­gin nor environment eould cheek hj*' prog­ress. Possessed by a great moral <purpc*e, whose object he could not see and whose Im­pulses lu early years he only vaguely under fltood/be met the exprleneee beet calculated to make of him In hie maturity a representa­tive o^tbe people. '

It has been truly saldv "Lincoln was the Incarnation of modern democracy” Honest, self-reliant, ambltJona In a noble way, of no Imagination, depending wholly upon reason, discreet, cautious, patient. persUtent, simple In habits. Indifferent to the modern accesso­ries of genteel living, and ever overshadowed by the belief that fate .had marked him for eome great end, he moved quietly forward, toward the. to him, inevitable.

Llf* «t Springfield Ln th* early yt-arn of hi- professional career brought him Into contact with a little company of remarkably strong men, all of whom have left their Imprees on the history of the nation. With each com­panions and friends, Lincoln grew In expe­rience and In the confidence of those who help to mdld public affairs. Being neither polished, brilliant, dashing nor reckless, pre­ferring to wait upon the will of the people rather than to get Imtdyanee .of public sen­timent, he waa not a man whose personality would stand out cousplcuousiy before the country lu *' the piping times of peace." His unsuccessful contest with Douglas waa his first public Introduction to the attention of the country and made possible his Domina­tion for the prealdency.

It seem* to me that the trolls essential to a M U Jlfft nro more clearly defined, more fully within onr Immediate view, than had Lincoln never lived ; that the Influence for good of this astute, magnanimous man of the people hna furnished fresh incentive to the world for noble doing, and especially to the youth of his own country, G.

cious official action when chosen a* one of the judge* at the claimed materialization «dance of Mr*. Wells. His promptness made It evident beyond all question that Mr*. Weils was not ln the compartment where she had professed to be and where all her friends previously claimed »he was; also that she waa in another compartment, in which she claimed previously that she was not and wonld not be found.

« Peril» of False Brethren,”

la every great cause there are false breth­ren, men who seek out, and make use of any noble movement of the human mind for the promotion of their personal ends. Some of utose bare a degree of' faith and Interest In the theory they thus rue, while others care nothing about it. They are alike, however, In practical energy, both making the princi­ple and common faith merely a stalking horse for their own adrantago. Theee al­ways affect to believe that all men are like themselves, and eome excellent people, when smarting under the sting of some experi­enced wrong, will often say, In their haste, " All men are liars, and otherwise dishonest." This becomes a pretext for - those who are so disposed.

False method» are the natural resort of fraudulent Intent. They who are not latent

/ on ¡»deuce or the public good, mast appeal In tho m «t striking possible way to the senses, to public cariosity, and endeavor to take ad vantage of the weakness of human nature. Their * enterprise," "gifts " and ** Inspira-' tiou " have their reward. The extended ex­citement about their methods la Interpreted as & proof of the great Interest they are awakening on thé main question. They will claim large credit for their work as effective promoters of the great cause. Under this cover they pursue with, porbaps, a I ou g «ac­cess, a career of doubtful Integrity or con­scious fraud. Many ^people are deceived; some are paralysed with amazement, while others are allent from prodeuce. A few raise a clear aad firm protest, mud these are so- cused of assailing the- sainte of tbo spiritual temple, as being concealed enemies of the cause, who, under the pretext of pruning, are aiming to kill the'fruitful tree.

QneofhJbe most familiar pleas set up In palliation of the oonrse of known bands Is, that they eieXe attention and atlmnlate to Investigation and discussion, so that Spirit­ualism becomes advertised and better known and understood, both In Its possible good and evil, and Its adherents multiplied, la this there la jnst enough truth to spread very thin over an extensive He. It Insinuates the most abominable Ideas, and |e an entire per­version of the most sacred principles. It Implies that one is to wink at falsehood and Imposture, or smile upon them a* the apos­tle* of Bpl ritualism. It thla la the way to vie* them, than one most Infer that Spirit- ualUm Itself Is adequately represented by them, and that they are worthy of each other. This Is lb« way the world w ill reasonably think.

Rottenness can do good only by hastening Its own,extinction—not by its preservation and propagation. Consolons of this,—and that all brave, honest men will endeavor to

_Ao them Jostlee, the deadly thing for them, these embodiments of rot will conspire to swear away the lnflaence of those who will not be accessory to the crime of perverting truth la tbs great name ot Spiritualism.

Ai to tba alleged good which accrues from theee Inlqbltleet, whence comes It? Chiefly

i the opposition raised by moral intsill- and conviction. This commands ra-

t as well as attention! It compels the pub* lie to see that the larger body ofBplrltual- Ists have a s honest purpose, and will endure no pretense or deception; that they are anx­ious lor the truth, and yet confident la Its power, and feel it needs no disguises or (aisé aids. Convictions cherished by such man wear, the public aspect of dignity and per- —as!nsi and make aa effective call to ra­

i l la only through thla law frauds help on the.

. As to tba fools they beguile, they

tare Is not duly and zealously watched, per- aned and exposed, tha whole fraternity would be not unjustly branded as void of mora) principle; and such a course oh onr part would certainly soon direst na òf every spark of honor, virtue and manly, healthy power.

We hare always been thoroughly convinced that Bplrltaallam presenta the grandest line of research yet open to man. whether It be contemplated In relation to «elenco and phil­osophy, or of morals, religion and future des­tiny. Wo have, therefore, given to it our chief attention, and devoted to It whatever talent and resources we have had at com­mand. We have' labored to see Spiritualism exalted and refined; to see Ha Just claims well vindicated, and to Bee it command the general homage both for Its evidences and Its manifest healthy Influence. We have, hence, been Jealous of charlatans and pre­tenders; and we are uncompromisingly op­posed to methods which are essentially un­scientific.

Russia aad Nihilism.

As lu na other age of the world, this, uni­versally, Is an age of unrest, disruption and growth. As if it were the spring-time of the nations as of the year, there is a pushing up. ward and outward of the underlying life forces,that bud or blossom In too many forma to be enumerated. Through theories, specula­tions, revolts against conventionalism, In­ventions and discoveries, man works Inces­santly, and, oftentimes with an extravagance which at least the spiritual philosopher can understand. They who are drunk with the wine of the spirit seldom realize their own condition.

Russia, the most conservative of all na­tions, has Imbibed of the same fountain, and the unrest Is deep down In the heatt of her oppressed millions. The reformation has bo/ gun In the higher classes; the great mass dì toilers bare been from the beginning of na­tional Ufo, held like slaves. Drilled Into pas­sive submission, their thinking la done for them by those of a higher grade of Intelli­gence, those less oppressed, who yet feel the claim of universal brotherhood. Reforms are demanded la the very foundations of the gov­ernment, and the .changes which hive al­ready taken place are marvellous, when tbo tyranny of Russian potentates Is considered. These changes ace, in the true sense of the words, spiritual reformations, and the spirit­ual causes of uprising are still at work.

The emancipation of the serfs during the reign of the Czar Alexan ter is the chief re­sult of this awakening. Alarmed by the out­burst of Joy with which this great reform, and others, like local eelf-government for cities and towns, were received, the Emperor sought to tarn upon his steps and began a reactionary policy iphlch mode him more un­popular than If he had not attempted to loos­en the shackles. Disappointed and embitter­ed Unmtrograde poilay where they had been led'to expect so much, the ardent lovers of liberi/ In Rosala turned upon their Emperor and his tragic death was the resnlt. Hardly less tragic is the life of the present Emperor. Threatened on all sides, hedged in with ter­ror, the tool ot spies and traitors, no more wretched life can be Imagined than that ted by the bead of sixty millions of people. In terror M He* the head that wears the crown,*' fitful Is his slamber and portentous and aw­ful bis dreams. Better the knont, the exile to Siberia,-death Itself, than each a tortured existence.

The Nihil Iste, to whom every plot to assas­sinate. la attributed, received their name a quarter of a century since at the band of the novelist, Tonrgenleff. The name was first applied to a class of young people of both sexes who delighted in things odd and new. They were aa eccentric a?they were harmless and delighted In all kinds of original opin­

ione.. Book» upon philosophical «objects had been prohibited in Russia daring the reign of the Emperor Nicholas, eome of the most important being considered worth tbelr weight In gold. The embargo was removed upon the accession of Alexander, and their contenta were received with nndne venera­tion. The number of students in each uni­versity from being restricted to three hun­dred ae aforetime, reached a thousand or mor?, and these ardent young men had im­bibed all too freely of the opinions of Vol­taire and Rousseau.

Jnst at this time when the train was laid ready for the spark, a political refugee In London, Herzen by name, fired the mine. The Kolokol or Bell, a revolutionary Journal Is- eued by him, had an enormous circulation In Rosala, and this journal became the founda­tion of nihilism. Herzen was a believer in the Hegelian philosophy and, of course, a radical. He believed that the leading Idea of the RuraUn nation, that by means of which It should attain development,, was the Commons. This ward then so hunpleff, now so much dreaded, applied to the local form of self-government to which the peasantry hare been accustomed from time Immemorial. How, Herzen and h li coadjutors began to as­sert that all the civilization ot Karope hav­ing become effete gtnst be swept off the face of the earth and communism take Ita place. And it became a part of tbelr creed that whatever existed most be destroyed to make way for the nsw order.

At first m an theorize« In philosophy, the Nihilists developed Into eociallem. Herzen's organ, The B ill , died a natural death, but In­cendiar; pamphlets and documenti appeared by the million, published no one knew when, and scattered n o w knew how. Persecution

and harmless Nihilists and** Socialists blos­somed Into full-grown revolutionists, terror­ista and anarchist*. The blood-thirsty, reck­less and violent Joined them, scattering to other countries to establish anew their en glues of demoralization and destruction.

Many of the number deserve a better name and destiny. They have seen or felt bitter In­justice. horrible oppression, terrible wrongs In Runslathey help to fasten the fetters upon tbelr countrymen banished to Siberia, by af­fording ezoQso for the brutal exercise of autocratic power. Such excesses react apon those who commit them, and delay the prom­ised day of regeneration and relief.

But the true spirit of liberty Is unquenchod and nnqnenchable. All who are subject to spiritual Influx áre Its lovers, and the Bos­nians are no exceptions to this blessed gift. For Spiritualism is at work among these peo­ple. As Mr. G. D. Dome, hlmelf a Rndeetai by birth, «ays In a late Journal: ^

Tb# educated da** It» Ranis Is tscy spIrUoallslte lo lik belief, A great imhj •ap#r*tUlon* of th# Icm educated portion ot their coantrymen are believed In by them. A very greet nutn&w, more than I* geaerollr Imagined are SpIritualUte, »tench and true, veri many being well developed medium*. Tbe Greek church la fall of record* of the - miracle* " of it* *slol* and “ woodsf-doera.”,.,,Russian hi*- Lorj la fall of Instance« ot .spiritual Intercom««. Every pigs baa legaaift and traditions.

If these and other moderate radicals can gather power to stem the wild and Benseleea rag? of the anarchists, and “make haste slow­ly," the dawn of abetter day for Russia la near at hand. Otherwise the genius of pro- gre«lya~ri*IJ] ration will bo forced to wade through agonies of fire and bloodshed before the white banner of peace ehall stream from tbe citadels of regenerated Rósala.

Pulpit, Politics aad Poison vs. Woman ____ Snffrnge.

The noblewomen who devote their time and talents to the enfranchisement of their sex, finí arrayed against them a strange and Incongruous combination. The pulpit and tbo partisan press, with honorable excep­tions, either openly or covertly oppose wom­an s u (frige. Preachers and polUlolant togeth­er could not long withstand the contest were they not re-enforced by the Immense army of poison venders and consumers, The last quarterly report of the Chief of the Burean of Statistics says that the present average ex­penditure for malt and spirit nona liquors and beer at retail In this country Is f 700.- 000.000, costing the retailers 1300,000.000, This vi\st Interest la la its own behalf vio­lently opposed to woman suffrage; and aa a leading factor In party politics It largely controls, directly or Indirectly, both the lead­ing poittloal parties. Tradition, conserva­tism, bigotry and selfishness combine to ar­ray the great body of the ctergy against wo­man in thlB contest for her rights.

Venalnewspapersof oppoel n g poll ti cal par­tías pool tbelr Issues and Join with moss- back ministers and doggery keepers In mis­representing women and Woman suffrage. It should, in Justice to tho- clergy aa a body be admitted that they are gradually becom­ing reconciled to what they see Is inevitable, Juat aa they experienced a change of heart not soArery Long ago when H became appar­ent that slavery waa doomed.

There is a courageous minority In tbe cler­ical ranks which baldly advocate* woman suffrage, strictly on Its merits and not a* a matter of policy. There la a still larger num­ber of thetn who see In woman suffrage a powerful ally in the warfare against Intem­perance, and favor H for this reason and not because of Its Justice to the sex, And here Ilea the peril of the lasne, Those who are laboring In behalf of the ballot for woman mnst adhere rigidly to the main Issue; they most never be diverted from the main point by reasons of policy, temporary advantage, diplomacy or finesse. Let them stand square­ly and firmly apon the demand fdr equal rights with man; and this as a matter of Jus­tice. not aa a favor, nor because with the bal­lot tn their hands woman can be utilized to advance any particular measure which eeeme in the Interest of general reform. Religion, Tariff, Temperance and Labor, singly or col­lectively, are no part of tbe woman suffrage bane, and the leaders of the movement make a mistake and complicate tho con test and de­lay victory whenever they for strategic rea­sons maneuver tbelr, foroee for tbe purpose of making a diversion In favor of other Issues that happen for the moment to have great local importance.

Another Ross Roast.

On the last evening tn January aa attempt was made by eome Boston amateurs to cook tbe Ross goose, bnt owing to their nnfamll- laiity with tho game'they only succeeded In scorching the feather«, thereby producing the □anal odor which follows that process and attracting to tbe defense of thé brood the old ganders who live on spirit offal and psy­chical camels and dally pray that tbelr gul­let» may be enlarged. This flock of de­fenders (topped tbelr wings Industriously, hissed with diabolical skill and spit with characteristic vigor and venom, for the pur­posed protecting In Its primitive rottenuos* the delirium tremens factory from whence they Had so regularly drawn their chief dl- verttsement and soutenance.

Long Indulgence in adulterated ailment had wrought Its sure effect, and these fre­quenters of the Boston materializing den fought for tbe proprietors with all the zeal that a confirmed Inebriate exhibit* In com- batlog the suppression of his favorite dog­gery. As a consequence, tbo Ross shop re­opened at the same old stand, with certifi­cates vouching for the genuinely spiritual quality of the goods and the truly honest and Innocent nature of Its proprietors, from snch old patrons as John Wetherbee, K, A. Brack­ett aad others. TUe.slmple old organ grind­er again worked the bellows and ground out his same old original compositions, and rec­ognitions of spirits went on with accustom­ed regularity. Freih advertlsementaappear- ed in tho editorial and reading- coin mas of the B anner o f L ight, and all was once more apparently safe aud serene. The venerable reincarnation who controls the reading col­umns of the Han iwr on ce more took heart and once more was ready to vehemently affirm that Mra. Ross was the very best instrument In Boston for tbo use of excaraate spirits In their exhibition of the highest form of spirit phenomena. -

Bat the incompleteness of the January ex­posure had stimulated certain Boston Spiritu­aliste, whose minds are «till healthy and who haie fraud. They determined In the In­terests of Spiritualism, of honest mediums, and for the public good, that tho Roes doggery should be warmed by ao hot a fire and Illumi­nated with a light so bright that Its true Inwardness would hp revealed in colors so vivid and tasting that all the world—out­side tbe Insane asylum or the road to it— could have but one opinion. Ia (¡¿her worths, they proposed to demoastrato what they were morally certain was true, to-wlt: That Ross, the ex-hack driver, and third husband of Hannah 7., tbe diamond gatherer and Inti­mate friend of Tripp the ex-milkman and present "Doctor," were falsely and for the purposes of gain claiming to give exhibitions of materialized spirits; that Charles and Hannah V. Rosa were cheats and swindlers, plying a moat despicable vocation and nnfit for decent people to recognize or associate with. . O '

Arrangements were qnlptly made with the police authorities, warrants were gotten oq£ charging lira. Ross and her basband with obtaining money by a trick or device accord­ing to Chap. 303, seotloik165, of tbs Massa­chusetts Statutes, and placed In the bands of Lieut. Walker and Clerk Arbecam of police headqnartera.' On the afternoon of the Uth iç^L, these officers together with some of the Sÿim ailist* who were la the secret, and a number of observers who knew nothing of what waa liksly to happen, sat down In the Rosa parlors and the show began.

fLand and Capital.

Last Sunday morning Mrs. 0. K. Sherman's parlors on South Le&vltt Sirs* t were filled with represeutatlve men and women who had gathered to mert Prof. W. T. Harris, editor of the Journal o f Hpeculative Philoeophy, and one of the pillars of tbe Coiu&ri) Summer School of Phlloiwphy. Prof. Harris ho» been la the West for three months, and on his way back to Concord kindly connected to stop over one train and give a parlor talk upon land and capital, a theme now claiming spe­cial attention. Among those present were seen a number of lawyers, doctors, editors and women known in literary circles, Includ­ing a number who make pilgrimages to Con­cord and are well up In the various schools of philosophy.

As a matter of coarse. Prof. Harris handled his subject from a purely philosophical stand­point, and In ninety minutes £ave a most lucid, comprebenslvs and cumulative argu­ment against tbe theories advanced by Henry George. No eynopste would do justice to the speaker, hence none will be attempted. Prof. Harris should be beard on this grave ques­tion by Mr. George and all other earnest, honest, patriotic cltlzene. He spoke most

'kindly and tn complimentary terms of Henry' George and his motives, bnt demonstrated to the satisfaction of bis listen erst hat “Progress ami Poverty" was wrong in Ite premises and misleading In argument. Prof. Harris la as warm in hla sympathies for his fellows aa la Mr. George, buj pursues a different method In hlVafforte to make the world happier.

The father-in-law and edltor-ln-cbtef of the Tribune has been sorely grieved and distressingly disgruntled ever since It helped to defeat Blaine for the pres­idency, by resorting to the meanesi partisan methods In the last national contest. Ho has now gone off South to Inhale c o lo r ed ^

Bnt to say that much and stop or to acquiesce in that opinion witbont a forth er word, 1« likely to mislead the public. Bo far as the Journal Is concerned it Is very frank to say thift for all practical purposes and so far u the pabilo Is concerned, tbe e f^ feet of a thing Is jnst as vlclone whether^! be a fn u d ln the sense in which people nsn- alty look at It, Í. e- aa the deliberate deception of the operator, or whether It la tbe result of some occult influence.

The Trade of Medium« hip.re m* xfflmr <* n>* axm» rauoeoatsMi J

There are many well-meaning critics of our cause who nnreeerradly condemn tbe making a business, trade or profeeelon of medlumship. aa a coarse that, In Iteelf, Is unaplrUual, If not ImmoraL The foregoing sentiment has found a peculiar'emphasis In an attempt to crash out such trade by legis­lative enactment in the State of Pennsylva­nia, that practically makes It a felony to pretend to bold communion with the depart ed when such is Asserted “for lucre or gain " Surely no Solon le needed to affirm the ob­vious axiom that all are at liberty to dispose of tbelr tatents In whatsoever way they choose, always providing tbelr so dolog neith­er defrauds nor wilfully Injures another. As to the taste that makea a trade of medium ship or preaching, that Is a question of sen- tlmept.

The right to trade in medlumship Is unde­niable.

What follows? This: that those who do ao trade must submit to all tbe customary re­quire dTehte as between seller and buyer, and the lawe that are designed to «ecu re honeet dealing, and punish fraudulent pretence; therefore trade in medlumship Is legitimate and as the medium then becomes a merchant or vendor for gain, he stands personally re-

White, too, upop another point, am I bound to say ament to every assertion telephoned to us from beyond? In good truth, up! Phil­osophic drivel, mawkish sentiment, hashed up science, culled from fifth-rate writers here among us and filtered through unbal­anced brain*, even though sent lo us from beyond, are no more entitled to my respect than each would If derived solely from some conceited idiot among mankind.

The President dedicated the society to the elevation of humanity, tbe exteuelou aud progress of Spiritualism and develop moot or tbe spiritual nature of mankind. “We do not blame our senior* for not interest- lag us before,” he said; "but we do censure ourselves for uot perceiving life id It refcliy Is.

S p ir itu a lism Among the* Mhelter*.I recently visited the Mlskayumf Shaken, wbnaa

village la near Ihla place. Among them I taw my old m«ad Nshemlafa Whit«, an aged Shaker, who haa been very III for a long time without hops of xe- oovery. He haa fur many years lieen ao ardent etudenl of phrenology, considering it on* of lb« meet useful of the ecleucee, «bowing tbe wbole duty ot the man. Nearly fifteen year« ago be gave me eomebookion tbe «object and encouraged me to •tody It. He 1« alio one of tbe finest believer* In Splmuallam. Ha lays that he baa not only teen many ot the manricetattooa that bare occurred among the Shaken, but bad blmaelf a very remarka­ble experience, the rrautl of an accident by which it waa supposed (or »me time that be waa Instantly killed. Being struck on the head with a heavy tim­ber, he fell to the earth, but «earned toatantiy to re-

. gain hU feet, end on looking down to tbe ground ■aw bla own body lying there apparently lifeless.

He saw men rash toll and bear It away carefully and make effort* to re«lore It to animation, ami, beard -all their conversation and also saw and wanned with friend* tong deed. After ' twil hour« he made an effort to re-enter hie body,and It asemal very difficult to do so, but ha «QOOOeded, to the Joy of the relative* and friends

, «landing by. TnU experience la to him a vivid reality, and he entertain« no doubt of the reality of the after life, ua fear ot annihilation, fila not gen­erally known that modem Spiritualism originated With the*« Shaken, of whom Nebemlah While la one.

Finally, after tom*- previous warning, it waa an­nounced at oae of their meeting* that the spirits would not manifest themselves among the Shakers therrafier *xc«pt occasionally; that they were going out tutu the world to undertake the great work of convincing all people of the reality of spirit existence; u d that they, tire Shakers, would soon bear of their work outside of (heir community.

fore employed et leaal on« low'pricei! cornelian as a reporter tv attend our lectures, and make report* that probably to him appeared fanny, bat which to other» wire etupld and false. The same paper has since thru passed Into tb* band« of other men who ara making an effort to popularize it by publish log Ibeearmousof Her. Tatimige, and..giving a liberal spore to proceedings at the church« In this city, also el the Vatican, which ha» been copiously Illus­trated with cheap cuto, said to represent the Throne Id the S a la l í t a l a a t the Vatican, and also quite n number ot the cardinals. No doubt they ore ell taken from life, or Horn some other place where cheap illuitiated papera draw their inpply.

In looking around him for something additional for the A ttractiveness of bis Journal, tha thought struck him that It would da wall to kick Spiritual­ists, He had been at the travelling menagerie ot Miss Fay, and. In his own conceit, knew all about Spiritualism then, hence he concluded that now while he w as cfowdlng bis paper with the carica­tura* of the eminent cardinal* at the Vatican, ho would annihilate Spiritualism and draw new pal- roo», therefor« ho prepared the following editorial, which be places alongside the cut of Pope Lea XIII.;

‘-The most foolish of all cranks Is the’ modern Spiritualist. It would surely seem that the persons who can attach ssrloua credence to the stories and conjuring trick* which make up the clast of enter­tainment given here recently by Mi» Eva Par, moil twlo needof «ueb Isglelitlun as applies to children and persons of unsound mind. Vet Philadelphia has dWorered that 2.000 avowed Spiritualists live In that city, and tow* 2,000 gullible persons have turned upon Representative Keyset's bill to make med lu m talle gal n a matter of pene! nffeoae. I ude«d IbeipiritutllaUuqaeaUoobaa acquired for the mo­ment a paramount Importance In Pennsylvania State politic*. The Spiritualists claim that their .gather­ing* are religious meetings and that their lecturers »peak In the tranca «late, being confessedly ruled by the spirits of tbd departed,

"But the admission that $ 2 0 a week to paid to the medium* for perpetrating fraud no the credulou* and pious Spiritualist« dearly brings the medium* IdIo the same category with fortuneteller*, astrolo­gers and other peraou« engaged in obtaining money by false proteose»." '

III* astonishing that a mau aspiring to been editor of a dally city paper should be ao deficient la common eeaee as to pen such an article for publica­tion. the impudent tone of which »Bow« IL to be the prodactof an'Ignorant brain, overshadowed with self-conceit and arrogance.

If tbe man, mighty In hto own conceit, who Ibe article, would Investigate Spiritualism ll ■ be well for him. He might be brought to ki little of himself, and he would surely learn that Ibe Pay caravan la no more a pari of Spiritualism Iban le Barnam’« menagerie, and he might also learn lhat 11 Is pot the part of wisdom to condemn that which he knows naught of.

A* far aal (earned, there was no public celebra­tion of the $>l!i Anniversary tif Spiritualism; our friend* assembled together to a private way; proba­bly the largest gathering was at the residence of James Child. He nnd bla wife are warm-hearted and earnest worker* In the cause. Through th*sn a number of perrons have been brought to the tight at tbelr circle«, and many have hoen developed as me «Huma Among the medlnm* present, were Mrs. Sarah A, Banskln, a pupil of Dr, Bu»h, and a suo- cessful clairvoyant physician, and Rachel Walcott; both are welt known to many of your read«* The occasion was esinost enjoyable one. Mortals and spirits Jolneu in relating their experiences and wish­ing Ood speed the cause.

Upon the surface her». Spiritualism makes but* small mark. Custom and fashion ara rigid taw. maker* In this community, and there are few who dare to break those Idols and,face tbelr fi lends lu the might of their own free manhood and womanhood. This community, like «heejk, Maw the track of tbe leader, and the leer of the wolf keeps them closely huddled together. Their knowledge of Spiritualism le like tbe wise editor I have alluded to, limited to such exhibition* as are given by the Fay Troope, and the expo««« by K»|l*r and other* They go to these exhibition* because they are widely advertised and held In theater*, The same people would not go to a Spiritual let meeting where they might learn rome- Uting of tha Canecí tor fear tbelr friend* might find

fit out! Whiter* *ocb mortals worth In the econo­my of nature? and yet tbelr narneU legion!

We have but oh* society under whose aniploee lectures are regularly given on Sunday; Mr*. Wal­cott lecturas. She leach«s the truth* of Spiritual­ism In a manner that com men its the Chus« to all seekers after IL Her »lylo is fervid, forcible and eloquent.

A number of mediums have been developed with­in tbe last few years; among the most remarkable la Mise Magote (inula, who Is a teat medium of raro trifle, through which she has been able to convince many of the truth* of tiplrilmtilem and Immortality,

“V»; when tbe spirit travel* they think It should he permitted to finish Its Journey. A sudden awak- eulag Is «shock."

Then the Lalk drifted toward the psyefato and mysterious, and Mr. Uuetafson told this story;

Bdtne years ago I waa vUIUug my borne to SwadeD. My sister was to be married In a few week* and was anxious to bare -naremaln for toe wedding.Though I wanted to do so, 1 could not. Bun)trees affair» called me beck to London a month before tbe wed­ding occurred, and I did not see my sister again for five yearn. Then, when I went to visit her aud her huibaud, after greeting me, afae sold: “Ob,brother, I bare always been so grateful to you for coming to my wedding, although you stayed each a vary short time."

I, knowing (hit I bad not been here, and believ­ing ibe was leasing me, sold, “Come to your wed­ding. Indeed; you know very well I wanted to oome. it 1 did not"

“Oh, to be sure you were not there for toe ceremo­ny, hut yon were ber* a Utile while la the afternoon* and I bar* always fellao grateful to you, fori know It must bare coot you ever so ouch trouble."

Seeing that she was quit# serious, and not wish­ing to startle bar by a denial ot the pleasant charge ot being where I bad not. but should like to bare been, and where I ought. If poeelbl# to have been,I bogged that she would tell nu» all about It, as fire years bad oomewbat Impaired my memory of the Incident.

“Why, you know, brother, when you were enter­ing lb* gale Axel (bar buaband) and f a * you sod hurried to meet you, I kissed yon and so did Axel. We walked, boldlug your arms, to a summer bouse end eat down. But you surely remember™

“No, Dot clearly. Go on and tell me all about U." “Well, CbrliLlnx (toe old housekeeper, wbn hod

known me rince I was an lofant) came down, and was delighted to see you."

“What! Did Christina ere me and talk to me?" “Yes, eurely. Don’t yon remember?”“No, not exactly. Tell me did I « t or drink while

here?" ^“You drank iomtf syrup, but you did uol «toy to

eel. ¥« , and you mode a speech.”.“I made a epeechl Why, what did I m y T ’

. "Oh, we have It written down. Axel tyroto It down, and we have It yet," re ^

"Did I see many nf the gu«t*r'“Only''three wbo were to Ibe garden with Axel

mod the at the time. You wooldnot goupeldjre, although we urg*d you.” *

“How did I leave? I cauuol remember."“Suddenly and rather mysteriously. You and my

husband and I started to walk. We reached a cor­ner and you suddenly left us. We did Dot see yon go, but wbea we turned around you were no longer with os and not In eight. We enppceed yon had gone to the bouse. But bad not,and w* eaw you do more." '

"Did toe people wo root look at ua much when we were walk!eg together?’’

“Yee; but f never thought of It until now. Every­body stared at you with (be greatest Interest, I am sore I don't know why. Yon Wet#' looking exceed­ingly well, And were well drtweed,, aa a matter of course."

Then I told her that I had not been there At all, that I was not even out of Loudon el the time. Sb* could not believe IL At loot she sold ;

"Why. hr other, If you Were not really here then, per­haps you ora not now—Voq are not In the least dif­ferent from wbat you seemed to be then.”

I issu red her that I waa there in the ll«h and not likely to vanish suddenly. We talked over the mys­terious visit. Her batbarid. the housekeeper, and each of the gneats as a * me corroborate;! too etory. ~ speech I was said to have made was read to__ It was quite new to me. I bad nu recollectionof ever thinking of any part ot it

"How do jou explain It?" Some one asked."I don’t explain It. It la perfectly Incomprehen­

Who can explain It? Surely there ore more things In heaved and earth than are dreamed of to one’s philosophy.

I OdcLB) n < r m 1 1rat P u t Itall down In a swoon, pet we never beer that persons become faint during the process of materialisation. As for economizing the matter thrown off from the bodies of mortals this Is very absurd. The human form Is com­posed of atoms, thousands of which die of

■ old age, of disease, and from actsof violence ever; moment. The dead atoms are floated In the blood to the lough sod there burned to ashes, for unlike man, nature cremates

' her dead. The ashes are floated in the blood to tbs capillaries and expelled from (he sys­tem through the pores. The capillaries will Dot take op these ashes, for they are a deadly poison, and if from cold or other cause, the poroa are suddenly closed, disease and even death will speedily follow unless relief Is obtained. Hence the Importance of a fre-

Iuenl bath and a change of underclothing, nd this la the material oat of which spirits

In a few minutes make a material form with all the bones, muscles, viscera, membranes, veins, nerves and arterlee. It Is as lmposal* ble as to kindle a fire from the ashes of thS wood we burn. The ashes ellmlnaled through the pores are not only destitute of vitality, bat they lack the elements which compose a material form. Neither are those elements found In the atmosphere. Can something be made from nothing? All nature declares It Imboeelbte. Hence If Is that thesdentlst de­nies the possibility of “creation.” Even for­mation Ih Impossible when the necessary materials are wanting. Hence it Is that oursavane declare that t p i rit mater ia li sation i t a iden tifie im pou ib ih ty .

Bat do’ I deriy the statements jnadq by Bro. Smith and numerous other pcYeonn of un­doubted veracity?* Nothing of the kind. Thephenomena may have all been witnessed, asI bave heard so often described, aud yet every Incident may be philosopblcally explained without assuming materialization os a fac­tor.

Not only Spiritualists, bat even tbelr op* luents. admit the fact of a psychic force.

Spiritualist# bold thot when freed from the environments of. the body the spirit can ex ert far more peychtc force than when fettered with the material form. Yet while in the form the spirit may eo control a mortal that he will hear voices where there ate none, feel a touch when no one Is near him, see ob­jects where there Is only empty space, be made Insensible to the pain of a severe snr glen I operation, etc., etc. Since these ph* nomenn may be produced by a spirit In the body, much more marvelous tun nl festal Iona might be expected by spirits freed from the body, and yet these are sufllclent to account for everything, provided there is no htppo- drouting, witnessed at an alleged spirit ma­terialization. Therefore I see no necessity for claiming the presence of real flesh and blood, event! it were possible to make a ma­terial form from effete matter. What one sees In such a case Is merely an apparition .

I have now arrived at the point where my

a onents generally lose their temper. They e It as an Insult for me to Intdnnate that

they are susdeptlblo of being psychologized. Others may be thus affected, hut no man liv­ing coaid ever make the least’Impression upon them. Well, ( will admit that, but they do not know that a band of spirit scientists

very rare for a man to-reallze that be Is In sand. When ths brain Is affeoted by alco­h o l,» that a man cannot walk straight, he often Batters himself that he Is not drunk enough for any one to detect It. A spirit baa only to put hie finger upon the brain, as noidorfal can do, to produce any desired phe­nomenon, either of fever, of drunkenness, ofInsAnlty, of delirium tremens, etc: I have ¿eea'persou* la all these and scores of other phases while under spirit control. So to rue tbe boasts of those who claim each superi­ority that epIrlhHknnot affect them carry no oonvlotlon, although 1 may have confidence id their sincerity. A man most be possess«! of all knowledge before be la competent to declare that Immortality la not true, or that the spirits, after being freed from the body, art incapable of producing any influence upon him.

I will add, in conclusion, that 1 really de­sire that spirit materlilixatloo may be true, bnt am too much of « philosopher to accept It without proof. I have staled a few. but not a tithe of the difficulties In my way of betlavlng It possible,and now If Bro.

then woe not only inaugurated an era. an epoch, but there waa inaugurated that which is, or will become universal. Ancient Spir­itualism had been on the wane through sev­eral centuries; It had come to be ignored not only by scientists and scientific philosophers hut by the church. Spirit phenomena that any one might mention or suggest were call­ed, In derision, spooks! Those who believed la the phenomena were called dreamers, fan alien, and It was said they were all wronp that no such thing had, could or whnld hai pen. That was the position of tbe church thirty-nine years ago. We have abundant proof that skepticism had invaded not only the field of science, but the church as well- i can remember when I was a boy If I did not take off my hat and make a-very low bow when 1 met the dominie In the street, that I waa severely reprimanded at home. The dom­inies were considered the oracles, and what­ever they said was tbe law and the gospel. I then believed all they said, and I suppose ev­erybody elec did,

A deacon In one of the most fashionable of the Episcopal churches on Fifth Avenue told me la my parlors that If 1 should read to him the article« of faith of his church and ask him If he believed' it all. he would say no. And he went farther, and aald there was not oue In Qve hundred of his church bat.wfaat would say just as he did. And this was the condition of things when modern Spiritual ism made Its advent in the world. If the hu­man family ever stood In great need ft wob at this time, and Modern Spiritualism came and Oiled that need as a necessity. It came

PSYCHOLOGICALANALYSIS OF HENRY WARD BEECHER.

Jl Lecture DellfW fd bj Mrs. B. L. WatsooA t M etropolitan Temple, San Franeitco,

Sundap E vening, March 80, 1887.[Hrpolled br G. H. liawea for tbe aeti«lo-Pfallo4oph-

Qroat men are heaven's grandest legacy to any people; they are the prophets of ultimate humanity; they are the maker» of history; they emphasize the doctrine of Fate. A great man does not come Into this world through any accident; great men are wisely begotten. That doctrine of the ancients of dlrloe par­entage for heroes was not altogether i fal­lacy. \

It must hate been.» wonderful combina­tion of fortuitous condition» and tine blend­ing of pure elements that produced such a p a n a s Henry Ward Beecher. He was cast In a majestic mold, with such Intensity of vital power that there was but little waste territory In all that grand domain. Every fibre of bis being thrilled with eon!; every atom or his brain trembled to the beatings of the great heart. Not only was his father of Incorruptible Integrity, butlila mother pos­sessed remarkable fineness of temperament and delicacy of discernment, lie bod a lino of ancestry not to be ashamed of;land fitting comrades waiting him, to share' the sweet mentality, thp-iui)s moral atmosphere, to m ngte in thfe shirts, and to challenge the Utont powers"wpeh waited for fieceeeity toqntekanandcairthem forth. - V

The r»fesf fruits are the slowest to ripen, md^many snnflses had kissed the brow of

ybting Beecher before any of hts family dreamed of the nascent man, the pfopbet, the orator, the liberator, that was to 'come forth and make bis mark npon the age. This nature, planted thick with germs of *oa- droas beantyr warm with almost tropical sunshine, Intense In every Initluct. was to do a great work for our century. That there were Imperfections In his character merely proves him human; hot It Is only the narrow and mean soul that wpold dwell on the flaw of such a Jewel; only ho who would find «x* e n » for petty tricks of his own nature would try to slur such a magnificent creators, be- canae he was sometimes, somewhere, found vulnerable.

I h a p said that Henry Ward Beecher was a prophet. He inherited the sternest ortbo- dO*y. butkbo tfermw of a beautiful "heresy iere Planted. through the mother's spiritual lens]billty, to bear noble fruits in after time.

There Is a kind of authority attached to men of brain, which we cannot Ignore. They are born leaders, and we arc glad to pay them homage; and when ooeof these combines mor­al courage with Intellectual acumen, how glad we are,to see him fly the banner of epirttoal liberty! How glad we are to fall In with the rank and. file and follow his footsteps!

Henry Ward Beecher for nearly half a cemtury has signified fresh Ideas on subjects that had grown stale-to tbe popular mind. He pre­sented & new view of old doctrines: rare meaning» were dug up out of old symbols; threadbare them cgjiW ed under his Intel­lectual power, andebmmon sentiments seem­ed to talte on new dignity the moment hla voice gars them utterance. What In the month of a smaller man would have seemed a poor commonplace, somehow when altered by Henry Ward Beecher, slandlug up in the might of perfect physical health, glowing with the roddy hues which tbe wind and the sun bad Imprinted upon his cheek aod kin­dled In bis eye, seemed to bring with them fragrance, tsnderneas and newness which captivated afresh his listener».

It was not mere “magnetlsncf-of which1 we hear so mneh, thaldield bib audience spellbound; it woe psychological power, eoul- force; the body was a complex machine which was under absolute command of the soul, and what tbe month spake hla heart had many times experienced; every motion of the man conveyed some meaning apart from all others, and by this soul power ho moved men's minds. Inspired with newideas, daelres for spiritual liberty, and aspiration toward the good and beautiful, /Such power cannot come from a narrow soul, 1» not born of toy niggardliness of spirit; this charm is woven from the very Innermost being of tbe man.

Henry Ward Beecher woe one of an Illus­trious family of many members. He was not the only orator of the Beecher family; and what he did with bis voice for hnmaq liberty, his sister Harriet did even more ef­fectually with her pen. While he hid thou­sands following him, adoring and sustaining him with their presence, she. woman-like, tolled In the p iracy of hex own home, sur­rounded by poverty, and with little ones clinging to her gown, wrote a book which will live when we are all forgotten., Henry Ward Beecher wia.poesessed of a complex nature. Variable as the winds were the moods of hla mind, and yet. tike these, they were bom of the mountain and the seas. In other words, they came of great mental altitudes and vast spiritual depths. He was In earnest when lie bated and in «Irnest when he loved. He was proud, ambitions, fond of gold, and prized tbe opinions of his fetlowmen. All humanitarians crave the good opinions of tbclr fellows; they are sus­tained by approval, made glad by Bcclalm. Beecher had . this element to a very great de­gree; you saw It In the carriage of his body, In the tones of his voice. In every expreMlon of hie face. Conscious as he waa of hUown greatness, tbe disapproval of a child would wound bis sensitive heart; for he was like an molten harp of many strings, across which the winds of sentiment, passion and spiritu­al powervswept unceasingly; now playing some plaintive air that melted his auditor» to tears, then sounding out In trumpet tone» that mode them feel ready to dd battle for any eaase of Justice; and again rippling down the scale In such merry tones that the whole heart was shaken with soft laughter.

When men remember the one offense of this

he painted the picture of tbe American Ite- public with boor a masterful touch that men who had come Into his presence enemies of America and of human liberty, went away persuaded of the justice of his claims, the dignity of America, and tbe grandeur of the cause for which Cnlonl»ts fought and died.

Henry Ward Beecher, as I have said, did much for the liberalization of the religions mind. While he did not come out and away altogether from old theology, there were times when bis inspiration got tbe better of hi» discretion; then aentences leaped from the lips of Beecher as purely radical as were aver uttered by Robert Ingersoll, and these outbursts backed try his deep spirituality and Intense humanity gave him great power. In oar opinion Beecher did more for the

K eas of religions Ideas, more toward lag the shackles of superstition In bis

Plymouth pulpit than he could have done In

three or four thousand people hanging upon r lifted them

such canning the manstFoelty of those myths of total depravity and eternal punish­ment, that under the charm of hla magne­tism, drinking deep of his life’s spiritual springe, they rose Imperceptibly to a better standard of religions thought, to the uplands of a higher spiritual Ufé.

Thus It was In the psychological force which be carried, he scattered seeds of lib­eral thought from Flymonth pulpit that will spring up Incoan to come and bear—not a lukewarm sectarianism, not a half-fledged _ _ radicalism, not “free-thought" In its repul-itbe sive forma, hut the Religion of Humanity ' which touches the deepest chords of being, leaves no grief without Its drop of balm, no despair of tbe mind without Its ray of hope.In hi* tenderness, ha carried conviction even to the narrow and hard heart, terming a nu­cleus around which gathered mauy brilliant

* T^ere went forth from the Plymouth con­gregation streams or charity, benevolent actions under the Inspiration of tbe great preacher. While he was not especially be­nevolent In the sense that he gave largely of bis own Income, he inspired benevolence to others, and tons of thousands of dollars flowed' from the Plymouth congregation for the cause of freedom, to clothe the naked and feed the hungry.

Was Beehher sincere? Did he not vacil­late? Did be not at one time say, "1 declare unto yon there are times when those of my dear ones that are dead are more truly with me than those who are living?" And then, perhaps, on the next Sabbath did he not sneer at Spiritualism? Did he not some-' times express disbelief la total depravity, and again favor It? It was bis sensibility to conditions of the spiritual atmosphere, of the mental influence» by which he was sur­rounded that made blm sometimes appear In Consistent.

Beecher was an inspired preacher. He would take a little handfnl of notes Into his plain pulpit, and perhap* never refer to them, run away from the theme which he had chosen, and poor from tbe abundance of bis mind auch tides of eloquent thoughts as would charm the thousand». The power of this man was never more clearly illustrated than when the shadow of bis great trial lay npon that congregation. Beecher's beet thought» appear to have been incarnated In the members of Plymouth church, and to aland up about him In forms of fieeh to de­fend him! There was a magazine of spirit­ual power which be had storedAhroogñ t year» of eloquent preaching and pare cty, working In their midst; and when he -__accused of a crime, this power made an in vul­nerable bulwark of defease against tbe doubt of tbe world. 8o deeply enshrined -was the man at hla best.

And they were right.

Teas of thousands of honest, thinking men and women who penned the history of the trial, believed that Henry Ward Beecher had done wrong. And Inasmuch os two opinions were possible we consider the whole affair exceedingly unfortunate, though doubtless,- ultimately, good com« from all present evil.

His death was beantlfal. His thoughts of death were ntterlv opposed to the doctrine of death as embodied in the orthodox faith, which made It a thing of horror; cease for bitter lamentation, black apparel and flow­ing tears. Even a* Spiritualism teaches, so Beecher believed that death was but a birth In which the soul gained larger liberty; he would have no one weep, or wear crape for him, but rather strew flowers and slug Bongs

r ta moving to this end that the present writer ten ta r« to throw oat a few leading thought* upon the subject. „ ,

With tb« great majority of outspoken Spir­itualist*. It seeme to be taken for granted that the material manifestation* with which the world 1» now being netootohed, are to be kept up a* a permanency; nay, It la thought by some that there 1« to be an IncreaseIn prevalence and power ufltU the two worlds ahall aeam to blend together and no room be left for doubt in tbs mattor. Thus, we are •ometlmea aaenred that materlallied b^rlta w ill soon be seen walking onr streets and «peaking from oar platforms, and no «special wonder be exprseeed except or notice«.

Bat there are many of as who take a wide­ly different rlew of the subject, one a* we tbihk far more tn accordance with the dic­ta te of enlightened reason ae well as with ths general history of the world. We regard this period of seemingly miraculous agency aa bat one Important phase In the providen­tial development of humanity under the guidance of perfect Wisdom and Cove. 'Hence

ble to him here, but which should be his home in ths hereafter; and is It not clear that man In hie essential spirituality should not be necessitated to lean npon a material cratch for a knowledge of hie immortality? He only needs to be born spiritually and to be In a healiby condition of spiritual growth —Intrinsically aa natural and-needfulaa Is a healthy physical grow th-in order to know of his immortality. For this he has no need to be helped by a chain of philosophical res KDlng, nor yet to lean npon material phe­nomena like those to be met wltb among me­dium* and their sdane«; bat his faith w ill come through soul intuitions, a« a pare white light shining through a crystal sky­light of the upper brain, an avenue of bright­ness which, wb«u kept clear by a noble life, and from the dust and fogs of this life, of ths senses, ha* power to reveal to -ns this and all tbs higher truths now within oar reach, and that with a certainty not Inferior to the In­stinctive action of some orders of the animal kingdom, the Infallibility of which Is a minding reproach to man on his usual plane of life. Herein (s fonnl also an open chan­nel of Inspiration, and of a direct and con­scious common ton with personal dear on« , and with other congenial seals la the Life beyond.

Earing answered certain divin «pu rjjoseo, It a consistent belief that in doe time there

should be a gradasi diminution. If potanentire disappearance of the genuine of these spirit manifestations. U to guUe probable,however, that those of a mixed or of a wholly false character may prevail with nndimln- Ished vigor after the trap shall have passed away. A general Investigation of the reli­gions of the world would, it Is thought, give strong support to this view of the case; at present, however, wo will tarn onr attention to bat one of these religions, the one wltb which we are most nearly concerned.

At the time of tho Introduction of Chris­tianity Into the world, there were doubtless

Ksvaloat spirit manifestations similar to ose of the present day. These, the great

Inspired Teacher made use of to arouse the attention of a low materiailstio age to the high spiritual troth« he cams to enlarge and toVlgbtou; but It was far from his Intention that the so-called miracles of bla career should be made the basis of his solritual truths; on the contrary, he seem s-at least on one occasion—to have been etrongly repelled at this slavish leaning of the peop e npon what appealed mainly to the material Benaes. "Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe," are his words. Already it would seem an undue stress had begun to be laid npon the "signs and wonders" of that age. which Jesna felt called upon to cheek, and not long after, Imitations, false signs and wonders began to appear, and unscrupulous ones were not wanting who were ready to transmute the wonderful gifts Into money­making. At Skat, otording to the account In the Acts of the Apostles, one such person ap­proached Peter with this end hi view and boldly offered money for the gift of the Holy Oboist, as It was then called: but what was the reply? "Thy silver perish with thee, be­cause thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.”

The truth of the cage (seems to have been that, because of the very material condition of that sge, the great Teacher found It need­ful to employ marked material means to call attention to his teachings; but that It was not his Intention (hat his followers should

In a life like this, aspiration, with its answering re­sponse, Inspiration will become a dally and never a ilin g experience.

There are some of us, then, who do not re­gard the material phenomena as the sheet- anchor of our modern Spiritualism, In Kb largest and most exalted sense, and yet there are others and among the most zealous and outspoken of onr number who cling to these phenomenal wonders with a tenacity—I had almost eald bigotry—hardly tees than that of orthodox Christian« to the so-called mira­cles of the New Testament. There are not wanting prominent Spiritualists who are ready to cry oat with sweeping Indignation against those who express donbts as to the superlative value of these appeals to the senses as the essential basis of a rational Spiritualism; and K is doubtless true that I many instances—especially In the earlli days, before unscrupulous mediums and earth-bound spirits had gained so large a

On the contrary, the everpyesent spirit of this faith was a direct ap­peal to consciousness; to an Individual ca­pacity to perceive and to follow the truth. rrWhy, even of yourselves.

Bat the makers at early Christian history were uuwHUng thus to part with a material and so-called miraculous basis for their faith, so they Interwove a somewhat exaggerated account of the early wonders Into what were dum efrto be the Infallibly inspired broke of the New Testament, the good Fathers declar­ing that thb age of miracles was past and leaving It as a necessity that henceforth mea mast let the platform of their Immortal hopes rest npon dead and decayed timber, rather than npon each as might be found liv­ing and freeb la the earning ages; and so all adowo the age«, these emEstmed Christian miracles have been held as ths sacred foun­dation stones of evangelical orthodoxy, and even among llberailsts—the Unitarians espe­cially—it has, within the range of my own personal experience, been dogmatically held that to reject the New Testament wonders aa being especially Inspired miracles, was to de­molish the very beau upon which the Chris­tian religion rests. This was the great her­esy of Theodore Parker, for. which, more than for all else, he was, so far as this was possi­ble. driven from the ministry. Bat onr Uni teriaa Mends have grown wiser aloce; they no longer think that the everlasting troths

‘of the Sermon on tbs Mount, and others of Jeans’s teachings, rest upon so unstable a foundation aa ths recorded wonders of theNew Testament. Theodore Parker ts no long-

History repeats itself. It Is said; may It not t e so In this Instance?

Rrsonat purity and perfection are often made.ils doubt applies in regard to those out of,

as well os those In, the earthly form; It [s not Improbable that both are more hindered than helped by being Immersed In an atmosphere so thick with material grossuess and deceit as la that which but too often surrobods such stances- Angels of the higher order could not approach near enough to render direct aid In such cases, and many of ns have dear ones, perhaps long In the Bplrlt-world, wfiom we would much prefer to have remain In their higher conditions, rather than In re­sponse to some unwise and selfish desire of oipirto descend and show themselves In tho pid bodily form amid such repulsive sur- faukllaga.i It Is baldly to be wondered at th a t with material phenomena libs these constantly held forth to the public, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, looking solely and willfully In this direct ton, she nld have marts her recent Indis­criminate onslaught In the newspapers, for with such specimens la view the incredulous Inquiry may well be made, “Can Spiritual­ism Spiritualize?" and It may be well for ns to ponder hen truths as well as rebuke her narrowness and Injustice.

One serious consldrratloD against the per­manence of this Influx of phenomenal won­ders now flooding tho world, Is that from the nature of the case familiarity with any given order of things tends strongly towards weak­ening their power; so It has often happened that one. In the first experiences, has boon awed and spiritually aroused by a sensible contact with the unseen life« and yet by a farther and more familiar experience has be­come indifferent to the good influence, and ha* turned tha atarUlng phenomena Into food for the cur ions and wo Oder-loving fac­ulties of onr nature, or, If not finite so bad as this, the mtst&ke ha* been often made of lingering Upon tbla ontslde scaffolding In­stead of reeking an early entrance Into the temple of spirituality Itoelf. In other Ian guage. It may bo regarded as a matter of se­rious doubt whether a concentrated and long eon tinned attention to the material phenom­ena af Spiritualism does not tend tb lower rather than.elevate individual character; bnt 1 would not dogmatize npon this point, or be nnjnat to any—I would simply ask of onr most eerioos thinker», what do observation and experience teach In this matter? In what direction should we look for the morespiritually elevated among Bplritnallsta?

Startling appeals to the physical senses may be well—even essential In some cases—but to Unger amid euch In0neuere can hardly fall to hold In check any awakening impalare to­ward a higher life.

K is against the prevalent abases of these phenomena that onr remonstrance is mainly directed; bat a word or two sbonld now beadded upon another point of onr Inquiry , » la in regard to the exaggerated stress often laid npon each material proof«'as to their bearing npon tho doctrine of man*« Immor­tality. Toe assertion ta often confidently made that now. at length, after an Indefi­nitely long period- of doubt and nnbellet In the world s history, a positive proof of the Immortal life baa been reached.

But tbsse/niay well be regarded as doubt­ful speculations, and I will not dwell upon them. Of this, however, wo should feel con­fident and earnest; he who would enter the heavenly world a cousclona heir of Immor­tality should live tbe Immortal Ilf» while here. His whole being sbonld be rounded

I was for Innate, I struck the forest as there we* passing over it a plaintive wail which I, at first, supposed to be a requiem for tbe dead past, but bending an ear close to nature E found It to be the deatb-song of an old fellow who had stood his ground, firmly resisting the encroachment o f■ civilization ever since the discovery of America by Col* umbns.

t’ROUHESS AND POVERTY.to lb* Editor at toe HetUlo-rtdlMoobiert Journal)

Sitting on my porch reading “Progressraod Poverty, that crowning sermon of the great apostle of No-man's land, I received a1 visit from "Cade Moee," an old "gemroan ” of sa­ble skin and Inquisitive mind. He is a type of the average darkey, always looking for something of phenomenal interest to hi* race to turn np, some providential deliverance from tbe pangs of labor and hunger, for only tbe latter will Induce him to resort to the former. He believes It to bo the busi­ness of a Providence to provide, and never' tires of praying “with bis mouth.” Ono half Ills time he prays for melons that w ill grow In tbe woods without cultivation. In Jus­tice to ths stock of industry stored In his best, I must eay that I think he would under­take to scatter tbe seed* while on tbe way to church or to sm bla sweetheart. If he did this and tbs vinos were of vigorous growth they would very soon kill oat the pine for­est*, so close and rapid would to tbe plant­ing, for nserly every night nearly ever* ne­gro Is ont on either en erotic or a religious exennioo.

The otner half of bis time he prays for sweet potato« that will grow like tbe afore­said melons, and for'pownm* so accommo­dating a* to fatten upou wild fruits, and then hie themMlv« to bis shanty for »up­per—not where they oat, bnt where they are eaten," a* my friend Hamlet said thej other day. ^ 1

The eonOdlof'aad superstitious trawhich. I hare spoken lead me to t h e ___sunuf« that tbe namwake ot my hero—he of the bulLrnehe*—most have been an Afri­can. He was always stuffing his followers with promises of something marvelous, and If anything remarkable occurred he "pointed with pride" to the fulfillment of h i.ey ; if nothing occurred he only bad to tell the boys that they had been.^too bad to de-

Better still! No grasping red skin had ap­propriated tbe land, built comfortable cabins in which to begnilB for a pries, bis fellowcitizens who might with fbelr fatal Ilea bo perishing Id tbe sleet and cold of an un£^, pooled "norther " And bo when the wild gam«' scared away or songbt better pasture, or a storm ot unnaual cold came on, thousand« perished, but no high-born eon of the forest bartered his rove) mnecle for food or eb alter for his dying child—there was none to bay.

Nor was tbere any sign of the evil over which a certain class of political economists are now weeping oceans of tears. “The rich are getting richer and the poor ere getting poorer." Nobody became richer and nobody

3uld become poorer became no one had any- ing to lose,Bnt finally an Irishman came, and as hie

ancestors for generations back had been ft«' eustomed to “raise a pig to pay the rent," he brought one along. lie cleared np land npon which to raise corn with which to feed bis bogs, which Increased rapidly, and when other emigrants came along he bad enrplns Innd to rent to them and pork to sell, and then he came to be a captt&list, and renting out hla land and selling bla meat for as much

4 a It would bring, be was of course an ex- •tonloner.

Now up to this time no deer, bear or other animal hod beenaflllcted with the hog-chol­era, but as eoon as Tbe ubiquitous Irishman began to raise rent-end pigs—hog-cholera and the other evils resulting from civiliza­tion appeared. The rich became rlcbeM ‘ tbe poor generally do their beet to be«rfbe poorer, bnt for obvious reasons their efforts are .vain. Bnt why dwell here longer? i have shown that bog-cholera followed tho ad­vent ofrent Into tnla country, and it now become« the plain duty of the reader to be­lieve that the latter was {he cause of the former.

And now when I would quit—nay. must quit this theme of rent, my pen refnsee to lie down and Inelste on showing that to tbe same cause may be traced Bam Jon « and Taimage.

A WM. CBOGJtXS, T. B. S., OD MATERIALISM,

Let tur Imagine that at (fats primat »tage a ll was lo an nltra-gaseoue state—a state dlffer-iDg.from anything we can bow ooncelvejln ■teftlaibli ■ “the!visible nnIvors«,1 ’

In tbe very beginnings of time, then in the opinion of one or the foremost leaders of eol- entitle thought, "Matter as we now bave I t" did not etiat, only t/o original p ro file . Mod­ern matter «Their, ta either old m a tte r—mat- tdk which is not matter as we now have It— changed In some way. or It Is the result of a new creation. Tbe latter hypothesis is not that of Mr. Crookes. Modern matter le evolv­ed ont of the proiyto, that early or formleea stuff, primal matter, whatever that may be. which anyway Is not this, Bat on this “primal matter," or pro lyle , an operation took ptac*. which produced granulation, and so tbe at’ ji came Into existence, an atom foil of energy, which energy had to be got somehow or other from protule also; and #0 gravitating matter and Sir William Thomson’s Incandescent mass, with Its eventual solar system, are ih» j sen It. ■

Biologist* have aesnmed fM existence o f protoplasm, and now chemletmsre (0 assume the existence of pro tyle . OutoCprotopIasm all living ereatur« are somehow neveloped, ont ot pro ty le all Inorganic, iKHcaHed'maUer le generated. But what le before all thlsrStpr though Mr. Crook« speaks of the “ b _ nings of time," there Is In the assumption of a possible operation—analogous possibly to cooling—on protyle, a tacit acknowledgment of eomfitblng being tbere before tbe'begin­nings of time.' Two forms of energy were /< tbere, one either heat or something analo- / gous to It, and the other " tbe imponderable matter, essence, or eource of energy we call electricity." —

How far are matter and spirit opart nowf Bnt let ns go on to the moat profoundly sug­gestive, perhaps, of all tbe suggestive ob­servations of this remarkable address. After an elaborate diagnlsitlonon tbe development of matter out of pro tyle , by tbe two preex­istent agencies, eay heat and electricity, Mr. Crook« continues: “ Bnt let lie pass ’through tbe looking-glass,* Whet shall we find on the other Bid*? Dr. Carnolley aska for an element of negative atomic weight; and here Is am­ple room and verge enough for a shadow ae­ries of such uosuDHtantUlillee, leading per­haps to th a t’ Unseen Universe,’ which two eminent physicists hare discussed.”

When not so many years ago Darwin «nun- dated the doctrine of evolution, he was hail­ed os a blasphemer, for theology w*s still dominant, and the vested Interest* ot nar­row-minded bigotry and shallow knowledge- were invaded, yet they burled him at last within the walls of the Abbey,and the prieBto of the Church committed him to tbe grave In “ sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life."

Bdence ha* succeeded theology, and the gospel according to tbe conoervatton of en­ergy ha* replaced the Gospel according toS t. Matthew. The vested interests of this new belief are at stake when it la asserted that Intelligence exists ontslde what Is called matter. The “ enre and certain hope" In which they helped to bnry Darwin is a delu­sion and aenaro. Can we hope, then, after all, that In a time, perhaps not so long hence, tho priest* of science like the priests of Uieologk, will acknowledge their error, and that spirit and matter alike being abrogated, within un Abbey wall«, over no apostle of this or that belief, bnt over the grave of all mistakes, and under the great dome of the universe, there will go up the song of peeeeeadof incoming wisdom? It may be, for the address of Mr. Crook« Is a step onward in this direction each a* has hot been made in onr generation.

In' a journal where pure science and a mul­tiplicity pf tbe terms which each sc lin esd e­mands for Its elucidation, would be ont o f place, we cannot enter Into either tbs de­scription of facts or the arguments founded on those.fact* which would lead up lo tb» oomprobenalso of the «torn of negative weight which Dr. Ceraelley, snd presuma­bly Mr. Crookes, surmise a* being existent. Suffice it then to say that tbe assumption of tho existence of this atom, which le as much the outcome of Mr. C tJOkeo’s scheme of reas­oning aa any other reran be has arrived at. means a development In a direction exactly opposite to that which hae produced pur pres­ent so-called material system. It points to a stats of being in which segregation and not aggregation is the rule, a eUte In which whatever exletB exists under inch conditionsu to bo oat of tho ordinary koa of sen ^tloo»^ built np from the experience of this proeeuL State of things.

Tbe “ üneeen Universe ” of the two emi­nent phyeiclats thus becomes a reality, and another step towards the solution of the great problem of existence hae been made. It u difficult at first to grasp tbe far-reacblng- slgnlficance of the existence of tbl* new uni­verse. Tbs eyes with which we see, the ear* with which we bear, tbe tactile nene* which convey the sense of touch, have been develop­ed under conditions of a particular environ­ment. Of this en virón men t-tbe atom of posi­tive weight is the type. To that other uni­verse of which the atom pf negative weight to the type,this universe of ours would probablybe generally an nnsècn one, end yet tbe two may be, and donbtlrae are, coincident W»

The whole race In America» has ever been and Is now on tbe tip-toe of 'expectation to an extent that can only arise from prl«Uy instillations into generation, after genera­tion of their African progenitors .along the passage of tbe unknown plat; for bo it known that superstitions—and nearly all the world’« elements of religion are bnt superstitions— are like blood disease*, transmitted from pa­rent to child through many generation* and often incurable in the end.

The world Is moving fast. What was pos­itive knowledge yesterday is doubtful to day, and vrtll be gone to-morrow. When, In 1774, PrlMtlr discovered oxygen, the death-knell of the four elements—earth, air, fire and water—was rung. Cavendish, Black,and La­voisier speedily asserted that sir and water were compound, bodlee, and Ire disappeared as an elemeut when tbs true theory of com­bustion was known. Then came, the aaecca»- Ive discover!« of the other 4b-called ele­ments, eonle sixty odd. Yet now, in tbs the­atre of the Royal Institution, In 1687, hot l i t ­tle more than a hundred years after tbe announcement ot Prieetly’e discovery, Mr. Crookes, wltb a ll the weight of pre-eminent scientific reputation, and supported by others of as great renown as blmaelf, tells the world that, after all, evidence of a conclusive, kind shows that there era no such thing* a r elemeut* at alt. They are dements only •* *0 called." - «

“ linnet beg you/’ rays Mr.Crook«,“ to carry yoor thought* back to tbe time when tbe visible universe wa* * without form and void»’ and to watch tbe, development of mat­ter In the states known to ns from an ante­cedent eomethlng.

A Boston Journal «ay»; ” A civil suit against a liquor dealer of this city was brought be­fore Judge Pitman of the superior court the past week, tbe result of which will uot only prove of great Interest to temperance people, but shows what can be accomplished by an outraged wife and a woman of indomitable

Jiluck anfr determination, at the hands of nstice. The case was one where a most es­

timable lady brought suit against a Honor dealer, claiming damages because her hus­band obtained llqoor on the premises controll­ed by tbe dealer, and though temporarily de­feated in two trials through a disagreement of the Jnry, she was »till determined to see what protection there wan In the court for a wife against one who bad sold her husband intoxicating Honor, and, In nplte of tbe most obstinate opposition, against even the advice of intimate friends, «maided and atone, ex- <iopt what she received from ooupatoot and faithful attorney», ebe pressed the case to a third trial. This came off last Monday and Tuesday, and resulted tu a triumph for the wife, the Jury after a short absence bringing In a verdict in her favor."

In this case the husband, who had an nn- . controllable thirst for liquor, had become In­

toxicated In a saloon by Invitation of tbe proprietor who Invited him to drink several times. While intoxicated he fell dowp stair* and suffered severe Injuries, for which hla wife bronght suit with result as stated. Per­haps a few more such canes brought by plucky women' might make liquor selling less profit­able aud popular.

How Sot to Soy It.

How not to say It, Is the Interesting game at which our neighbors of Unity are engaged. Last year they with other« at the Western Unitarian Conference, at Cincinnati, made a sort of statement of falth—or of nt»*falth

^rather — emphasizing "freedom, fellowship " and character/’ but Ignoring Deity and Im­

Bht they Qnd themselves In an awkward fix. The orthodox journals poke fun at them, as though*they were In a fog, and eplrltnal thinkers among their communion and else-

' where ask: What and where la UnUarlanism? Now onr neighbors see that something must be skid (o deUne their position, and W. C. 0. proposes, in Unity, a statement of “our doc­trines1' for discussion in the conference in this city next month. In this be does say something of "Christian theism" and of "the unchanging and beneficent order.” L.Immor­tality is alluded to as "a sense of deathless- nees," giving earnest of a life to come, not as a supreme troth of the soul lasting

■ through ages. Others are asked to offer like papers for cons I deration.

Our Unitarian frlhnds, in their' laudable fear of dogmatism, have gone to an opposite extreme, and that has been reached also by a want of comprehension of the vital question to-day between materialism and a spiritual philosophy. A dogmatic creed of cast-iron Inflexibility to bo hollered forever, to change wbfbh teheresy, And to donbt which opens a pith to Dell, is a crime and a calamity. An earnest s&tkment of the opinions and ideas held by the majority of any religions society-, and to study and teach which Is their aim and for which they stand; which they declare open to change with more light, and for lack of accepting which none are proscribed or condemned, la proper, Indispensable, Indeed, to any unity of action and spirit and to any fair understanding by the rest of mankind.

A company of men and women aglow with tbe Inspiration of great troths mast state the Ideas they so love and cherish. Opposite« can-, not nolle for common work. Materialism Is the death of eplrltnal life and Immortality, the ending of all conception of tbe sway of mind, or the future life of man; and therefore, It Is impossible to maintain nnlty of aim or work between the materialist and the spirit­ual thinker. Each may respect the higher qualities of the other, bnt when they try to join In any effort for religions culture, at once the Irrepressible conflict begins. Unity has this to find oat, and experience w ill teach the needed lesson.

Unitarlanlsm we con jadge with some fair­ness, from an outside view, yet with large sympathy la Its favor. It has been a spirit­ual faith. Jt started in that bright path with Chinning,/ in whose clear son! was no hate of agnosticism, no cloud of materialistic, doubt. After him cmuo Theodore Parker, condemning no honest skeptic, loving their, honesty indeed, but hie own soul Intensely alive and foil of deep convictions of God and of the Immortal life. Would these men ac­cept tbe Cincinnati platform, or the hesita­ting platitudes of U nity? Would ■ they deem It possible for agnostics and eplrltnal philos­ophers to All pulpits with any united thought

I mind?i makes the clod king and the

. and leads man down to .the dost “ , such as gave rise to

whore his culture goes on forover. They are farther apart than Old School Presbyterian­ism and Universallsm.

A mao must stand for something. Bo must a body of men In a society eg a political party. Tbelr alms and vlewsmoKt be stated with frank directness. The line of demarca­tion between materialistic and spiritual thought Is deep and wide. No other matter In the religious world Is eo vital ns tills. To be on both eides of tbatline Is impossible, to obliterate or Ignore It Is equally impossible. "Unstable as water than shalt not excel," will be the only verdict possible In the na­ture of thing« to any manarsocloty standing In doubtful attitude.

All this Is but a small part of what might well be said, and It lit said frankly, bnt In no captious or unfriendly spirit.

The Western Unitarian clergymen who are trying to consort with agnosticism, when In their pulpits mostly preach as rocognlxtng spiritual troths. The chill has not yet struck in. Bnt It will In time, unless they escape from the fog and stand In clear air.

The coming Western Unitarian conference In this city In May, wilt doubtless discuss these questions, and coming strength or weakness Is involved In their aotlou. How much they need the highest Spiritual Philos­ophy!

“ lq Earthen Vessels.”

Is the title of au editorial In the Chrittian Union, which disco«*« the qnestion of Bible Inspiration. Before commenting on the ar tid e, a word on thejgradual change of views on tbl« question. Less than a generation ago the orthodox conception taught in the pulpit, in the Sunday school and In pious Books, was that every word between the lids of the Bible was Infallibly true and rnfracu lonely Inspired.—the inspiration reaching to- the accuracy of every sentence and word, tpe shaping of every paragraph, and the perfect narration of every incident. The thought

-and the language In which it was clothed were alike infallible,—It was the “word of God," to Indite which certain men were made machine«, and it was thB only Buch perfect word that' Deity ever gave, or ever will give to man. One small book held all that an In Unite Being would ever give as a “lamp to their feet and a guide to their path" to all the generations of the countless millions of his children I A few ventured In gentlest ways to suggest slight modifications of this idea, whispering their shadowy doubts with bated breath. Dr. Adam Clark, the English Bible commentator, a great scholar,a Metho­dist, a man of large views for his time and place, made each suggestions, and his com­mentary, which was In many Methodist fam- lliea for a season, was quietly supplanted by another,—Inferior but more orthodox.

In thee« last days a change has cotffe, as the inevitable result of more perfect and sci­entific criticism and of greater knowledge of religions outside of Christianity./ A Kiigaclotis Yankee who had studied the­ology at an orthodox seminary wittingly said:

X remits man eon no more go through the a>ureo of Btbls criticism, «ran to that school, and heller« in Hi- b!« in tali I him jr, than he can believe that the i Id moons are cut tip to make stars of.

This change is most open nnd decided, of course, In tbe liberal denominations. From Unitarian and Unlversallst pulpits wo hoar the Bible spoken of as a human book, vain able hut not infallible. Theodore Parker did a work in that line greater than that of any man In this century.

Bat'we find the views of onr orthodox brethren also modified. The New Theology is the result of the new atmosphere, which has even cleared up some part of the fog banging around Andover. Thla CArielian Union editorial Indicates the changes, a« some extracts will show, it opens In these words:

A great deal of the eufrent theological discos«, jo concerning tha I aspiration of the scripture* con­cern* that which Ls least Important In Its iosnUatlos. Ttm claim of the church for the Bible U tballt E* an inspired record of Inspired experience«; and tbe cur­rent discussion relates almost exclaslvelr to the In­spiration of the record, not to that of the experience. Geotg* Eilat receives from her -observation of life certain ImpfetMtoos of character; before she begins to paint their portraits sbe eeee Adam Bede and Dinah!Morris and Hetlj, bat she boa no idea of tell­ing m at she bos thought, of painting what »be his seen, for the benefit of the public. Her husband gives her th* Inspiration which leads ber to attempt this task. It Is be who urges to the undertaking, be who teade her,manuscript and suggest* revisions; his lupIraUoQ luclte* her to make the record, aud aids her In making iL Bat no part of the original Inspir­ation, the Insight Into character, tbe sympathy with men and women, the perception of. Ufa coax* from him. And without this primary Inspiration tbe other Would have been It) vain. Many a fond huaband hoe Inspired his wife to try ber bond at a poem ora story, and nothing bee come of St; because the bid no story to tell, no rest poetic perception to record.

This makes the spirit of more consequence than the letter. la tike strain tt 1« said of the Bible writer«:

They are called inspired penmen, and It Is the la* iptrhUon of the pen which la chiefly debated. An we «ore that the writer of Gen ads bsa made no mts- takmr that all the Incidents In the Ufa of Abraham occurred exactly as narrated? that there are no coo- tradlctkms La the various accouotaof the Four Go»- pet»? that Paul's rhetoric Is fsulUese add bis logic flavin**? Tbe»» an questions concerning the re­cord, not concerning tbe thing recorded. Tbequse- «too, What mod re power Incited Moeee to write down the Ten Commandments, and what guidancewas given to him In that writing, a n questions in- elgalAcaot beside the one, How came any leader In that barbarie age to perceive the moral twenty and truth of there few simple principle« of eootafooo- duct, priori pic* eo comprehensive that a full and hearty obedience to them would go tar m o In our day to cure air social disorders? The queattoo, Who wrote the Twenty-third Psalm, and what divine guidano*, If any, was given to the pea that wrote 11? la not h*J! so significant as tha question, How cam* a Hebrew poet o* shout 4** H<rererio epoch to bare * conception of Qod, and hi* shepherding e tn e i matt,solUipltoly hjgfay than any wblchihe Greek bari pol is s i t? Whether the four biographer* or Jreo* wove, w biographer* prsrerved Infallibly from Of] wren I* by no mean* a transcendent quretton. Grant thaL they were not, add that either one Evan-GS2Ì

...î..

This gives away the case, so far as verbal Inspiration la concerned, and grants inaccu­racy, and leaves os men Inspired fay great truths. Let the CArfsfM» Union grant that men may be thus inspired to-day as they were then, and It Is on the high ground of a spir­itual philosophy. That It wonld hardly da. Its way 1« not clear that far, but It« path lies that way, and tt goea on, not backward. Here 1« another like statement which does away with any need or reason for the old theory of verbal ^Aspiration:

"Dofecte In tte record, granting that they exist, no more militate against this primary and funda­mental Inspiration ol the sacred writers than errors In mythology or science against the genius of Milton and Shakespeare, That tbereare-errors lathe rec­ord may be true; ttJutt measure of Inspiration won given to the penmen may be a fair subject for qaee- llonlng. fiat the truths which lay In tho hearts of the hletorlans, which neeled there, and there were brought forth and fed nnd fledged before they took wing and flew forth to sing to thq world's rejoic­ing, bad no earthly mother. Tbelr uareoUgn was divine; and of their divinity the splriluel »Indent needs no better evidence than n comparitottaf than with the thcogbt-cblldren of earthly parenUge.” !

The miraculous element grows JessTThe natural nnd spiritual elements grow greater than of old. There Is still au adherence.natural and doubtless sincere, when we con­sider past education and evangelical adula­tions, to the Idea that Deity specially inspir­ed the thoughts of these Bible writers as nous were over Iusplred elsewhere In any time past or present.

In duo season this limitation Is also to be passed, and we shall be told la some future' issue of the C h ritiian Union or In some worthy sneceesor to Its best gifts, which shall add-kfiowTMge to its faith, that great souls, akin to ll{e Infinite Haul, partake of great truth« by virtue of that kinship, and that hosts of ministering spirits or heavenly an­gels, can and do and always hare Jnaptred walling spirits still clad in mortal bodies.

^ A d H h b ls coming, and meanwhile If Is In- /iernBtiog&n4 Instructivelonole these mark­ed changes in the old conception of Bible In­spiration. When It comes thB (ruths of the Bible will not be loaded down with .a weight of error, bnt will be seen, as such troth» are seen elsewhere, In their own spiritual light, and thus the book will bo a greater help to humanity than ever.

A Papal Nnnclo to A m erica

Tbe Pope of Rome propose« to establish a Nuncio in' the United States. This function, ary Is always more or Isas a political of­ficial. He take« charge of cases which in­volve tho civil (and even criminal) relations of cNitens, subjects of the Catholic faith, to the nation; but all this 1« outside of, and alien to, our law« and constitution, agalnHt which no religions have any right, mnch leas any «pedal privileges. There 1» here, there­fore, no place for a papal nuncio, any more than for a tot of Protestant nuncios. The Catholics are not blind to this point. Nev­ertheless they are determined on haring hero a nuncio. They know that he cannot be numbered among the acknowledged po­litical envoysof tho nation«; and that be must live here like others as a private person on­ly. What, then, can be their object and hope? That oircumHtaDcea will occur which will give him an opportunity to be conspicuous and to secure a practical recognition in time. It was In accordance with this policy that Pa­pal Rome gradually gained her power.

The papal hierarchy do not believe In the stability of onr free Institutions, with the perfect separation of Church and State which here obtains. They hope for coming em­broilment* In civil affairs, which they hare always made their supreme opportunity for Interference and for the exercise of priestly Influence and the development of priestly power; aud this power can never advance while the world stands except at tbe expense of personal Independence and civil freedom.

On these accounts wo call attention to this new move on the part of that moat terrible of all aychlee which have ever existed. We hence take occasion to urge onr readers to a fresh aud careful study of the great ecclesi­astical Institution. Wo know It is not a pleasing study, but for the mo«t part quite repulsive, and to none of u^luillvtdually can it promise any earthly good. It 1« such fact« os theee which make onr exhortation bo v e ^ s pertinent aud necessary. Men seek chiefly personal gratifications; and not till their de- slreo are broadened and elevated to the com­prehension of moral and universal issues, can such topics become Intonating. To these and to a large and lofty American patriot- -Ism we make our appeal. To Spiritualists especially we appeal, because the priekhood always claim to £are special control or |plr- tts, good aud bad, aud to have the oxeltffiye right to regulate all lutercoarge with the spiritual world; and this prlesthoiod la par­ticular would burn os Spiritualists as deadly tad dangerous heretics. If they bad power. Tbl« power they have lost, and ws are charged with the responsibility of Nalplng to perpet­uate their disability.

It 1s far from being correct to say that thla Is a dead Issue. That can never be while human nature, Ignorance and superstition remain. Advancing ©volution of human thought will kill It. To assume loo early that we have reached th /t stage w ill long delay Its attainment. In the light of the extehded Ignorance and superstition which stlU prevail aud of the growing- power of Romanism in this country, tt Is surely quite evident that we have not reached It yet by a long distance. ;

We bate aU senee of alarm and would de­nounce all effort for its propagation. But we would puncture a little that overwhelm­ing aelf-confideace eo characteristic cf Amer­ican people, aud which led one of Uulr most conspicuous representatives to pro- lounc* them ■

era State« to bounty "a ninety days wonder/ and before that to repudiate ail prognostica­tion of its approach. We would disturb that intellectual dllettantelsm which Ignores all ecclesiastical discussion as suggesting prleat- iy rancor and the odium throiogicum. They may avoid-these themselves; but to «hot their eyes w ill not destroy priestly ambition, cunning and sleepless vigilance and persist once in the prosecution of their schemes. It Is surely Important that we know the spirit and animus of this great and compact power, growing so steadily and rapidly tn our midst. Can It become truly American, or alinll It be to ns what Alsace-Lorraine arc to Germany, only more dangerous from its uu in hers, situation and resource«? Such questions cannot be Ignored with carety. We mitai give to It a comparative study, a study in tho light of other polities,—religions, ecclesiastic and civil,—and thence form sober judgment of relative probabilities, dangers and duties as citizens.

Critical Analysis.

If anyone deems it an easy or very lucra­tive task to edit and publish a paper which has for one of Hb leading purpose« tbe sci­entific exposition and confirmation of the phenomena of Spiritualism, only a limited experimental knowledge will be necessary to remove the lilnslqn. To posit continuity of identity and life beyond tbs grave upon n scientific basis, and there firmly anchored, to deal with spiritual ethics and philosophy Is a grand and noble task, bnt It is not a work for ease-loving souls, nor for those who pre­fer to cast all their burden» upon another evento the extent of having their thinking done for them. For a Spiritualist editor to Boat with the carrent which for the honr 1b carrying the class to whom his paper special­ly appeals. Is not hard; he needs only to lie In the stern sheets of hts craft, as it were, and float. Any exertion would be apt to «end him too far-in ad vance, if mode with the tide, and if against It he must hare unuMual de­termination nnd endurance toBtem the flood.

To restrain convictions based on knowl­edge only attainable through carefully per­fected channels of Information and superior facilities for its reception, until the returns are canvassed; to see whether it will pay to prick the bubble of tho moment, to tel] tbe truth, to check tfohealthy and misdirected enthusiasm, to do all this and much more, aud stili hold steadily and aggressively to the main purpose 1b not work for weaklings, either physical, spiritual ' or moral. I ^ la enough to strain the strongest constitution and call forth all the latent strength of tbe moral and eplrltnal nature.

The Journal has ever beta a paper with convictions.^which It never watted to find how the tide set before>xpreaslng. Unassisted by a single contemporary It fought tha Woodbull craze bnd drove Its leader from the rostrum. She made oath once In Chicago that wherev­er she went she was mot by.missile? of de­struction from the Journal tîSîce; that at least a million copies o f one of the Journal’s pamphlets had been published In order trôe- feat and ruin ber, and that her reputation and revenue bad beeh destroyed thereby, And this Is only one'Uf the many victories It has scored iu the Interests of good morals.

In the field of spirit phenomena the Jour­nal works as an Independent ally of eplrttu-

?irl-truth; It ever welcomes the proof of spirit presence, bnt always with Us eyes wide open and sensea keenly alert. It is always pulped when obliged to probe doubtful evidence or expose deception, but nevertheless does Sta work with a steady band, even when its heajt throbs with agony at the task. Th0jIomi<fAL ls not building for to-day alone, nor for a Spiritualist party or Beet, but for the fature, for 'humanity fia a whole, and for Truth—

“ Tbe «Wrox! year* of God are ber*.”Thus Impelled, and upheld by a sublimo

faith in tha eternal verity of the central claim of modern Spiritualism, tbe Journal does not shrink from the publication of criti­cal analyses of experiments in th e‘field of spirit phenomena, nor ask ite readers to ac­cept aa of spirit origin any manifestation or result that can be equally as well or better explained in other waya, While this judicial and scientific attitude on the part of tbe Journal may tend to suppress party enthu­siasm and lessen the stimulus needed by many.before they can be wrought up to do their dqty to themselves and the world, yet tn tbe long r u a it wUI produce the heaithl- eet and most enduring growth, tbe aouadeet and most valuable frails. /.

= l ! " =Heathen Chine«Impartiality.

A few w«eks since reports came from China of persecution of Christians by tbe natives. Now comes a letter of the London Trine* cor­respondent in that eountry, which La confirm­ed in other ways, stating that tbe Chinese authorities have issued edicts lu different parts of the empire callHig on the people toi lire at peace with th« Christian.missionaries and tbelr converte, and explaining that Christianity teaches1 men to do right, and should, therefore, be respected. The procla­mation of the Governor of Chan Klsng ré­cités the Imperial deereiCaad adds:

lo iwpwthü furtherance, therefore, of tbsheoavD- lout to too Hods at the State, I fret tt lnrambeut on ma to pat !h« mattar plainly- Knew, therefor«, *U owe, of whatsoever «ori or oocdUkm, that Ih« rete object of eetabltehtng cliipel* la to «short men to do right; there Who ombra» ChrtaUaolty do not oaare to b*Chlore»; and both ride* «bouid, therefore, conUose to lire io creo* tad act Ui moto*! j ««lottai» b* th* «are of «¿rite betwreoJAwn.

Local courte are then ordered to Investigate cases and give Impartial judgment, that "each party shall parens In peace and quiet

aud the desire of Oe

the men from afar equally with Its own peo­ple.”

The " heathen Chinee” government seems realty to be quite up to our most Christian authorities at Washington In tLs friendly spirit to all men. Political Jealousies, fears that the missionaries might interfere In their domestic affairs, seem to have had effect in fbmentfng the first troubles which ar© now being quieted In ibis good way.

The Charity 0 rganIxAtlon Society.

There is now established in Chicago, and In excellent working order, tbe Charity Or- ganlziatlon Society, having for Its organ The Reporter o f O rganited C harity , publish­ed monthly. This Society was Incorporated Juno 2l)th. 1883, A. F. Seeberger being presi­dent; E. L Calvin, vtee president; Horatio L. Wait, treasurer, aud W. Ai"Johnson, secreta­ry. The following well known gentlemen are among Its members: E.tS>EeUb, M. A. Ryerson, Charles A, Street, W, R. ^tlrllng, Joseph Sears, Rev. L. P. Mercer, L.Frank, Leandor Stone, John Wliklneon^N.B. Delamater, M. D., J. H. Swan, William R.- Page, and M. P. Hatfield, M. D-. Joseph Ship- pen and H. M. Sherwood.

The society has established a Provident Wood Yard at 3D5 N. Clark St., and a Day Nnrs- ery at lfiOi S. Clark. An important object of the Society, as set forth by The Reporter, Its organ, Is to lay before the community the world's ripest thought on matters of charity, whether connected with tho special work of

C. 0 . S-, or with societies and Institutions of other kinds or with the administration of private alms. It Is confidently hoped that such a presentation will bo valued by busy

-men and women who, thoughtfully occupied, yet wish to keep abreast of the times In the philanthropies. The benevolent public will be warned against the more flagrant of tbe nu­merous Impostors who appeal for aid, and at the shmo lime The Reporter will make known cases of distress for which n larger measure of aid may bo needed than the usual relief agencleB can afford, In the hope that private benevolence may embrace tbe opportunities offered, aud so one of the leading Ideals of the Society may be realized in bringing the rich aud the poor into personal relations of sympathy as benefactor and recipient. .

One of tho most attractive features of work recently introduced to charity by the C. 0.3.»Is that relating to legal questions. This Is of two kinds,,viz: Protective and Punitive. Al­though always considered a proper depart­ment of the Society’s work, nntll last No* vo in ber nothing of this kind had been regu­larly attempted, but In that mouth a case cdtne to the notice of the Society, for which the gratoltous services of a legal firm were solicited In that one incfaiicr. To the sur­prise and pleasure of the Directors, not only was the case promptly taken in hand and carried throngh with admirable knowledge and tact,but The philanthropic lawyers offered their Bervices us the regular attorneys of the Society without charge, and-the offer was thankfully accepted by tho Directors, and since that date several very. Important mat­ters have been brought to a successful Issue, while two ¿ntta^are'aow In progress, the de­tails of one of which make such a touching story of cruelty aud suffering, inflicted In tho name of the law. as Is seldom given to the wprld. f~

The Case of Mrs. Ross,

Aa some of our readers may have a little curiosity to see how our esteemed Boston contemporary m et tbe crushing exposure of the Rosses, we give In full its editorial there­on which appears iu Its last Issue under the above title:

As a public Journalist, anxious to place be­fore our readers the various occurrences of the times. It Is onr duty to state that Mrs. Ross—whose claim« as a materUltzingme-

-dlum have been frequently endorsed In these column« by highly respectable correspond­ents—has again passed under a cloud of trouble. We feel convinced that those who have borne witness to what they have seen at her ef^nee* were honest in their belief- and Intention«; and do not abate the general demand we bam ever made for a Jnst weigh­ing of the case ere Judgment 1« pronounced • since nothing Is truer regarding the materi­alizing phenomena than the statement miide In a recent lecture In N.ew York, by Dr. F. L. H, Willis, that as the persons in the circle constitute slways one of the elements for the production of tbe phsnomena which take place In presence of this order of me­diums, it Is no unusual thing for some pofllthe mind In the circle to Jstermlnethe character of tbe manifestations; aud«that much of the so-called fraudulent phenome­na Is the direct result of the presence of such person (or persons) fn the circle.

On the other band, we have no desire to np hold for one Instant that which Is not reliable and genuine In mediumsblp. It is and has ever been onr determination to fearlessly support what we believe to be the truth. We have repeatedly asserted that, In tbe sifting

£rocess now going on, those mediums who ave, solely for gain, held «dances so often

as to lessen their medial powers, and have at times In consequence simulated the mani­festations, will go to the wall; and tbe soon­er this coroes to pass the better it will be for all concerned.

A« tbe case of Mr. and Mrs. Ross 1» now before tbe courts for legal adjudication, any remark« on our part In advance concerning it would seem out of place; and we therefore prefer to put before our patrons the am In point« In the narrative given concerning the affair of the Mill by the Boston P o t t in its is­sue of the ,15th Inst. We also-append expres­sion! Of opinion on the part of a correspond­ent, which mast stand (a* also the excerpts from the reporter's account) on their own merits.—B a n n e r o f L i g h t , A p r i l 23.

We ask onr readers to give the above a care­ful study, especially the nineteen-line sen­tence which makes up most of the first para-

parallaxes, and to measure- absolutely their respective distance« from each other.

Sometime ago we made mention of an en­terprise h&vlnfripr'jts object tbe oolonlzlog of the terrllorynyfog adjacent'to Topolobnm- po bay_in the S ftti'o i Sinaloa. Mexico. This

___ * bo many attractions that^numbers of persons bought shares, and

untily disposed of their property and lef) for the land of promise. Maine. Colorado,.Illi­nois, Minnesota, and Michigan appear, to have furnished tbe largest number of colo­nists, the first-named state sending the most. Quite a large party of Tsry excellent people left Portland last winter, and some of them have jnst returned. According to The P re u . of that city, they te llya monrnfnl story of their hardships, Buffering«, and trials. They found nothing as it was represented to be. The paradise was a sandy plain that pro­duced nothing bat cactas plants. Albert City consisted of one frame building, occupied by Owen, and a number of cloth tents. Tbe nearest orange grove was thirty-five miles off, and the quality of tbe fruit was very poor. Salt water was reached whenever a well was sunk- Tbe only fresh water to be had wm brought from a distance. Nothing canid be raised without irrigation, and an irrigating ditch wonld coat *400,000. There was noth­ing to eat bat beans and provisions brought from Guay mas. A mush made of beaus con­st! tn led almost the only article of food ob

, talnable- No. employment was to be found. Tbe Mexican settlers in the vicinity are spok­en of as kind-hearted and hospitable, bat gen­erally too poor to afford assistance or fur­nish employment. "Navigating the Gulf of California is declared by the retorn colo­nists to be expensive and perlloas. Tbe wat­er In Topolotampo bay is said to be so shal­low that even small veasels can not come

r the shore. It Is reported that Owen baa

facts of the Ross exposure as briefly detailed In last week's Journal, and the extracts from tbe letter of tbe B anner correspondent, which the editor of that paper sp*aksof aa " expressions of opinion on the part of correspondent ’’ .

It may be, and we believe It Is, true that- our esteemed contemporary "ha^no desire to uphold for one Ionian! that which Is not reliable and genuine in medinmshlp;" un­fortunately for Spiritualism, however. It has a traditional policy, to which It has resolute­ly held until within a year or two, that obliged it to clalth reliability and genuine­ness for a vast amount of fraud and question­able manifestations. Of late, ondor tbe pressure of public opinion educated and voiced by the Journal, the B anner has given spasmodic and fleeting evidences of sanity.

The statement made by onr contemporary In the third sentence of the second paragraph quoted above, that it has "repeatedly assert­ed," etc., is rather too sweeping If. our mem­ory Is correct. We do not recall such asser­tion as having appeared more than once or twice In Its columns, aud never prior Uj the year 188»), If our esteemed contemporary will kindly republish with dates the proof of Its assertion above referred to, we will take great pleasure tn being set right.

Mr. Robert Anderson, the correspondent alluded to, says In his letter published In the Banner:

* * * I attended a number of the ' stances,- with the Intention of examining these manifestations for myself. I had the impression that they were frauds of tbe gravest character; hut made up my mind that I shoiAd ¿wow whether they were-or not before I left the city. I helped to . form the oommtttee that made the last exposé, on the afternoon of the 14tb Inst., arid Was present« at that time. The exposé was success rat and decided. The account as given In tbe Boston P o t t is substantially correct, and the only correct one—one of its reporters being pres­ent on the occasion.

On the evening of the same day of the ex­posé, and before the report of It appeared la the Post, the city editor went op to the Ladles’ Aid Parlors for the purpose of Inter­viewing Mrs. Bllnn, the President of the As­sociation, who happened tri-be present at Ihs exposé, bat who was not of the exposing party,to find out whether she had any differ­ent version to give of the affair than the re­porter had handçd to him. Bhe said she was } sorry to say it was substantially correct; and, moreover, he informed me that of the three hundred Spiritualists present iu the parlor«, every one appeared to rejoice that the Boss fraud had at last been effectually exposed.

R N A ]Ujturned up tbe lights. Mrs. Rose was stand' Ing In the rear of tbe cabinet; and endeavor­ing to hide her head on Mrs. Ross's breast, was a little girl. Two young men, evident­ly under the Influence of fright, were stand log at one side of tbe room.

On cm *exam ination Mr. Metcalf said that Mr. Braman was the one who had arranged for the "little party" to attend the usance, and had Issued the Invitations.

No evidence wits brought forward by the defence.* Counsel French argued that, In spite of the evidence, the charge that t l had been obtained by some fraudulent device or trick had ijot been proved. In a case. Indict­able under a charge of obtaining money by false pretences, tbe action must precede the payment of the money. Tbe complainant had testlfled that she believed she was to see spiritualistic manifestations, hut she did not pjove what a spiritualized form was, and she Was unable to give an Idea of what she ex pected to see as representing such a form.

For tbe prosecution Lawyer Holland claim ed that the payment of money, whether be­fore or after the time of the device or trick, made no difference, any more than In gamh Hug, where a payment of money Is mane for chips and the dupe 1« cheated afterwards.

Judge Parmenter, In reviewing the evi­dence, said that the complainant, visited the siance In the full belief that deceased friends would apear In materialized form. Whether there woh truth or Dot In such a belief R was not for the court to decide. It did not re­semble a game of three card monte where the dupe Is permitted to win In order that he might continue to play, but it fleeing that a deception waa practised on the sensibili­ties and a degree of grief and suffering won Id be brought upon an Innocent person. If the law hid no weapon to cover such an offence It was a pity.

Judge Parmenfer reserved hi« decision un tit Friday, April 23, tbe defendants in the mean time being ordered to furnish the same recognizance.—¿i cm (on E v e n i n g l l t c o r d , A p r . 22,1887, .

dally childish methods, these old-young marvels, who are never known to arrive at a more mature age than ten year«, have been so continually before the public that- they have long ceased to attract any especial at­tention. To find a little girl still in the bloom and freabness of her early childhood, exhibiting witty ijlmple, unaffected grace and aweetnees, a rare and extraordinary natural gift, is really very much out of the common. An exhibition of this kind here in Chi­cago has attracted not alone those desiring Wpe amused by the unosnal, bnt also those ,wfio are pursuing different lines ot psy­chic investigation. Mamie Little, the child who Is attracting this attention.and is really a phenomenon, Is at Kpslean's Museum on Randolph street, between Clark and Dear­born streets. Mamie was born at tbe little town of Anoka. Minnesota, In 1883, Her par­ents were among the ordinary we 11 -to do towns people of the village, ana she is the youngest of four children. Her mother af­firms that she was always an exceptionally good chyd, giving no unnecessary trouble, and that she would amuse herself for almost any length of time in her own way in happy self-sustained contentment. When she was two years old her sister, to amuse her, placed her at an organ, and ever after nothing made little Mamie so happy as to be placed at this instrument. When she was two and a half years of age It was discovered Ibat she was playing the air of the Mocking Bird, and from that time forth she played not only such airs as she had heard, but also those which site had never bad an opportunity of hearing. Now at four years of age her repertory includes more than a hundred dif­ferent airs, which she plays In perfect time and tune, although she can scarcely reach across five keys with her tiny hands. Not ooly does she play these tone« seated i t tbe piano In tbe ordinary way, but blindfolded as seen In tbe accompanying cot. and also

and exposed for the most part by Spiritualists themselves, some of them believing firmly lo the genuineness of spirit materialization in general.

Mr. Editor, I am a Spiritualist, and a be­liever In materializations; bnt I am opposed tkwbat 1 know to be fraud, and shall strike It whin*ver’ and wherever I find It. wlthoat fear, favor or reward. *

The Bosses In Court,In the municipal dvlJ coart this morn ing,

before Judge Barmen ter. Charlea R. and Han­nah Y. Roas, tbe medio inn, were brought to trial on a char'ge^of-'bbtalning $1 by false pretences from%Mra B. Cromble, who prefer­red tbe charge. The room was crowded. Mr, Henry W. Holland appeared for the plaintiff, and MrvAM P. French conducted the case of the alleged spiritualistic mediums, >

LletU. Walter, Officer Arbecam. Robert Mc­Laughlin, Mr. MhtcaKand Mr. and Mr*. C. A. Braman testified against tbe accused parties. Tbe evidence was a repetition of what has already been printed regarding the evsnts of the night of the «¿anee and the arrest: The paraphernalia need by the medio ma at tbe edanea, consisting of old ski

with two thickness of cloth over tbe keys of tbe Instrument, she plays different airs with ease and accuracy.

To tboee who are Interested in the dis­covery and demonstration of the viewless cause, laws which bring about nnusnal psy­chological results, this child Is an object of «spefial loterwt- Those »bp bold to, the doctrine of reincarnation find in her extraor­dinarily mktored development of tbe mu­sical faculty- what they deem strong sup­port of their peculiar belief, while those looking for evidence of mediartistic control. And much which would seem to evidence

does not even know her alphabet), and that the ease and confidence with which she plays Is unmistakably spontaneous. It 1« also true (hat her mother was riot before her birth In any way Interested In music, nor did she ac that time hear any) music which .particu­larly impressed her. Psychologically tbe most remarkable thing about this child 1« the per­fect, quiet ease which pervades all she does, and this la evidently the result of a most un­common equipoise of personality. Her per­formance L« net a labor but evidently a plea­sure, and there la not in look or act the least evidence of effort or strain, but a continual and perfectly bright childishness which Is as pleasing as It la refreshing.

A« a teat of psychometric reading and also to. If possible, get some light in regard to this most unusual and Interesting, chib); an ar­rangement was made to have .Mrs. Mary V. Priest meet her at the K z u g i o Phjlosophi Cal Journal office, and without any previ 009 knowledge of her make a reading. Mrs. 1’rteet came to the JOURNAL office under the impression that «he was going to make a di­agnosis of a child who was 111, That tMe readers of the Rf UGio-Pmixc-ot-utcAL Jour­nal may be able to judge of this test for themselves, this reading Is given in. fdli as it was taken tyy a stenographer. After tak­ing tbe child’s hand and holding It for a few moments Mrs. Priest said:

"I find something unusual about tilts child.I cannot tell whether It la In her intellectual or her spiritual development; there 1« some­thing beyond the ordinary as 1 see her spir­itually. There Is what 1 would rail a per­fectly white aura.- I do not know as ! ever came in contact with an organism which is like this. As 1 look further Into tills- white auiflf it emit« lights like stars, not like rays of light but Uke meteors'. These seem to em­anate from the child. She seems to pass through three «Inge«: First, this perfectly white aura, then the meteoric shower, and then a cloud. I do not know what it Is bnt she seems to pass under this cloud. This la iu the future.

"The child is perfect in her moral nature, Is perfectly poised; the element of truthful­ness Is exceptionally large, tier conscience is very active and she cannot do that which j 1« wrong.

"She Is unlike moat children iu her modes of ama«ement. She wjJt amuse herself for hours alone. Her toys are living thing* to her and «he gets a pleasure out of them that others do not. 1 sea she has*a distinct form of amusement, but cannot distinguish what It Is.

"I B«*e in her a predilection for art, very marked Indeed, bnt not for mathematics.

‘At this point Mr«. Priest was asked If she were quite *ur* a« to this last assertion. She replied,-**! would make my affidavit that this 1« true.” 1 She then continued. ■

"it 1« not art In Us broadest sense, bnt in a channel. In its broadest sense art would Include mnsie, bnt I think the bent In this child Is distinctively In the line of painting and drawing. However, I may be mistaken.I think possibly I am. All the finer elements which constitute the artist are In a state of almost maturity In the child’s brala. I do not think she Is overtaxing her brain. There Is a power given her of which we 'have no ¿knowledge. Her brain Is In perfect health, not in any way clouded; but it Js evidently In a condition beyond tbe norms), she Is phenomenal. The conditions which lead her to go Into' the ipsplratlonal state, and her cerebral development which lead« her to han­dle art would be likely to be» directly Influ­enced by some spirit who had been either a musician or an artist. A personality comes before me that takes me hack to the fifteenth century and there seems to be a galaxy of power. As I see her she Is under the direct Influence of some one whose moral nature was equal to his artistic ability. There Is a perfect equipoise; there Is no conflict at all. aud the brain takes , up what passes through It as flowers take up the dew.

” I am trying to see something peculiar about the action of the little feet and bands. 1 cannot moke it out at present. Now It eomes to me I n the line of music.. My mind has not .been directed to thl*. I bate, as It were.been obliged to wait notll my mind was unfolded In this direction, i see figure 13; It. repre­sents the 13th year, when it would seem to

and hands In «xecntlon of music o f* most bMUiant nature; arid I s«e something earn- nat* from tbe instrument which appears to cue in color, and it seem« to indicate to me something marvelous; and the child seems to have created a great furor and to have been taken op bodily. She iffm an Immense au­ditorium where there are thousands of peo­ple and she seems to he perfectly uncon­scious of what »be has done. 1 am conscious of the odor of flowers in the air arid there are vibrations from the instrument so definite and marker) that the people seem to take them away with them. It Is not ofteD that music has this effect; it ia beard and is then fln- iflbed, bnt it-La not so in this case. This last comes to me aa a prophecy. After this her greatest success at about her 13th year, she will hold the seme rank in her art, ffut will not exc*fd«U.

"She Is wonderfully well organized; the action of the nervoos forces u perfect. I think this peculiar development of the child is prenatal, and is not the reantt of heredity, but Of seen liar conditions before »be was born. It would aeem as though the mother was over shadowed with certain Influences at this time, and that even then tbe order of tbe future was being maintained,'’

It will be seen by the description of tbe child Mamie Little, given In the beginning, and bearing la mind the fact that Mra. Priest knew nothing whatever of her, that this psychometric reading was a very good Utos- traiion of the verity of psychometry.

East ■UMt, Indianapolis, ba* bveaa medium sbout two year*, end hie often given InfnrmaUoo from the 8plrU-world. She give* me a statement of some fsete, Claiming that, they disprove the Llieory that mlod reeding may account for ao much of the intel­ligence coming U> the mind of the medium. I give It In her own Ungaage, as the relate« It to me.

“I have Imwq subject lo spirit control some two years, aod many noteworthy incidents bare occurred. Among the number I relate the following facta, hotdng they may help to remove the Ideal that some skeptic* entertain lliot this class ot phenomenon emanate solely from mind reeding.

“On the night ot January 16,JK87, while sitting with my mother, no other person belog present, 1 suddenly aswthe Mine,‘Lewis Strickland,' appear In the air before me. At the same time I felt a touch on my shoulder. Looking around I eaw the spirit hearing lhb name. He said, wblteon earth, be lived at Conner*rill*, Indiana I then saw a beautiful country bourn, a Urge while house embowered In trees. 1 could not understand why he came to me. and Indicated the same lo him. Helhen requested me to state the facts be bad presented at Ui* public hall where the Splrltnslliitfl were to assemble the next evening. I attended the meeting, and did as the spirit requested. Directly In front of roe m n lady—e stronger who had ifeTer attended a flplrltii- nll-ta meeting before, and was not n believer In the philosophy. She at once «aid she knew Lewis Strickland, that the was from Connanvllle, and that the home I bad described was her own where she had known the spirit while Id earth-llfa 1 Imme­diately look od bla death conditions lu the head. His death bad resulted from paralysis or the hnln. 8b* Wis very much overcome, and mid a he had li«en Irresistibly Impelled to attend the meeting—she knew pot why. . . . .

“At another time, Ibe eplril of a German woman whom 1 hail never known, camo to me at my home, nod said «he had been out of the body two day*. She was much worried about her lltUe son, 'Mine Boy,* as she called him. She also showed m* two other children, girls, and much amaller than the boy, but aha did not aeexn worried about theip. That evealng I attended ■ circle where v)ie came aglla to me, end the fact* were recognized at'ooce.by parti« who had been with tier In her lari alcknee*. and at Ibe burial two day* previous. It seemed that hompr had been ««cured for the girls, bat none for tbehoy. Before her death, ah« had been very much exexlved in regard to bla furore, hence her aoileljAvfaen «he came lo me. She felt very much relieved when s gentleman preeeoit said be would see what he could do toward« securing« bom* for the hoy,"

Perhaps It may not be out of place for me to relate toon of my experience*, by which I ami c-vuvl need that many thoughts come lo ouf mind* because of the prompting« of dlaeroboditd spirits, -v—

To make some of the facta plain to be understood, It li necessary to state aome preliminaries that the reader may the bettor understand what la to follow. Of the Spirits wbo have often communicated to ran when there were do living persona present wbo coald by any possibility bav* influenced the medium, 1 will mer tlon two Individuals now ia iplrlt life, who have often communicated to me by mean* of the medlumshlp of Lena Bible, mentioned In the foregoing statement Their name* are John R. Leete and Ripkxn Tomlinson, nod H la safe to nay that do p«non now‘west of the Hudson River, ex­cept the writer, ever knew, or heard ot either oflhOn' the 12ih day ot March, 1828, the good ship Pacific, owned by Atwater and Daggett of New Haven, CL, sailed from that port, bn and to one ot the Danish West India Islands,-—CapL Richards of WmL ilsven. Master, aod a Mr. Lin« Chief Mate. There were eight of us “before the mast," ot whom the two hoys above named, and the writer were lu the starboard watch, aod always on the rooet Inti­mate and friendly terms. - From “time whereof the memory of man runneth hot to the contrary.’’ I bad been a temperance man, bud 11 waa my aim to try to persuade otben to adopt my principles. How the Impression came to me, I did not then know, but I wa* Impressed that by suitable admonition, together with my example, thoee ban might be eared fromthe pernicious habit Ot drinking, to which ao many adllon. In tboaa days, were addicted, Tba balanceof the crew were Intemperate, and It waa Kind that oar little temperance aodety of three man ooulddo more «rrtlce than the five drinking man. After having beard my argument In favor ot abstinence, on* of the boja proposed that they drink no more ram during that voyage. It waa agreed to, sod on our retqrn passage, I proposed to make onr pledge perpetual. The motion Waa adopted and 1 bare reason to believe that all three member« of that society “kept the pledge."

On one occasion, 1 waa In the presence of the medtam when one of lb* boys censed her to any that lie kept the pledge. She bad not known ot It, and did not know what It meant.

Hiving finished that enitaa In the ahlp Pacific, I. .. -„ ¿ u n d juwent to my boma In ths State of New YorL._____September, 1835, when about sixty mile* from my home, I happened to aee two elderly persona—a man and his wife. Who they wen. or from wbecce they cams, I did not know or cat* anlll 1 suddenly thought of my ablpmata. John R. Leete. When In the Pacific, ha had told ma that ba was from Gull- ford. The Impression cam* to my mlod to aak If these people were from Connecticut The lady answered that thn wen. I then asked If they ware from Gollíorl Y She said they w en and asked me if I was ever la Guilford? to which I answered that I was Dover In Guilford, but that I once had a ship­mate whose home w o than: that hit, name waa John R. Lesta, and 1 aaked bar If abe erar knew aoch a boy? Sha said ahe knew him well, and added, "He Is dead now." Sha asid that he had becomecaptalo of a ahip,and being at 000 oí tha W. L labrada, (I think It ane 8L ChrGtopher’s) w ben1 theyellow fever prevailed there, ha toox It and died. I did not aak her when It waa, bat am now thinking IL «oat hare been aome yaan before I Has. I thinkba wu qnallfiad to navigata a ahlp ae soon as he arrived at bis majority. When w* satied together In 1831, he was only about eighteen yean of are, otmoderate statura. Ho was the youngest man of onr crew, and decidedly the best sailor.

At,the time that I received this Informati00,1 coald not aOconnt for my imprreakra, but now I be­lief* that John waa present and #0 Influenced m y mind that «osad me to ask tba qoeeUoo* 1 did.

The medium ha* often told me of the pre-vneo ofmy shipmate, and when I,aak,. Which ooe? she saysthe one with the bright red hair. One time Mm __he told her something that she did Dot auderotand. Ooe word waa "weather,” which Mie took to be an abjectly*, hot did not know the other words. I■liad her If It was weatbwback-eUy, weather-breoe, weatbar-ehronda, weather rant-arm.

The peculiar drcunwUaqp* ofl the itnrr, which were relnbvi to th* writer byW-fneud, whose word he can have uo reason to doubt, are simply these:

A young lily, MI» F— . was on a visit to a fam­ily of name aod position, CoL and Mrs. G---- , whooccupied a large mansion In oae of the bom« coun­ties, %Thry possessed a favorite setter, a pel of every­body*, bul especially of Miss F— who was as fond of the dogs* the dog wav of her.

Tbllber »be was removed In an Invalid carriage; bat although she received every poaaltd* care and attention eha appeared to get no better; her malady was evidently Jnflceeelng daily.

AbodLm month after Mlm F-------had left Col.G—— feTmase, he and hi* wife were on* day Intheir morning-room, which looked out upon an ex­tensive lawn. Tha belli of the neighboring village church bad begun to ring for the musi dally matins, thef Ume being a quarter before 10, and the Colonel and his wife were preparing to nlteod, according to their regolar custom, when they observed Flora—wbo was lying apparently asleep, does to Ibe open glam doors Isedlag Id tha lawn—raise her head

About two hour« later In the day a telegram wo* received by Mr*. G-------nootidolng the aadaod un­expected Intelligence of the death or Mlm F -at B quarter of 10 that morning.

It may fairly be aaked what could have caused the dog suddenly to start, np and rash down the lawn with all the outward demonstration* of Intense Joy usually exhibited 00 seeing and meeting a loved friend?

The shore cut Is copied from one pub- H*hed la th e Golden Gate, Dee. 18th, 1886, andYite naively copied In other Spirt tuallat papara, It Is now reprodncedTfor the first time In the Journal, mail for the porpoaeot llittsirotlog Che text of Mr HomB’u letter:

Tb«w Mao, or tht HiU nsDMoctuen joanuUi Din the number, dated December 18th, 1BS6. of the Golden Gate of San Francisco, Is ¿Ir­en s foe-rim ile of a slate wbldh the editor of that -journal regards “ as the finest Instane«that journal regi of peyohographlo writing yet given to the world." At the* ‘ * -------.. . . I end of the article explaining the manner In wbleh th is41 floe Instance^was obtained, the writer says, ** We haveglv en-In the above statement the simple facts." “.Thé skeptical reader may explain them as beet he may.” Now, eir, I am not a skeptic; from the cradle to tbs present time, my al­most dally life bos been so much connected with the other world, that I might as well deny my own existence as deny the troth of Spiritualism. My very name Is a voucher for this; bnt whenever I read or bear of mani­festations of a striking character patented as proofs of the reality of onr belief to skep- ttcs, 1 am In the habit of sifting oat the con­ditions In which these phenomena were ob­tained, of placing myself la the light In

- which a skeptic would read or listen to those phenomena. Mr. Owen giving this slate as a test-proof to skepllQs, 1 would beg yon to allow me thB hospitality of your columns, hospitality yon so often accorded to my fath­er, now In the Summer-land, to make a few objections to the positive evidence” offered to the skeptical world by the Gohfen Gate.

Ur. Owen omits to mention If the slate con­taining bln private mark remained In bis possession or In that of the medium during the Intervals of the séances. Ills vague phnae, *iwaa laid aside,” seems to Imply the loiter hypothesis. He omits to say If ho heard or felt the waiting going on under his hands; he also omits to mention If he examined the pencil used, and If In the, absence of bearingp i l l i l i UBCU* BUU l i IU IIIU , U l |U1ü ( l t l ^or feeling this pencil write, If It bore evident marks of having boon there and then usedfor that particular writing. From these omissions, any skeptic would conclude:

1. That from September 11th to September 25thI there was eu Odent time to obtain, espe­cially ln San Francisco, specimens of all The languages contained on the slate.V P Q P V H H IQ iV P iP P I__ I, and repro­duce any ” private mark.”

2. That no writing being heard, el eight ofband was used for deftly changing a clean elate for one duly “ communicated ” on; eelmitar trick Is done every day by any clever nonjoror. However these are two «apposi­tions which stand only as long as the oir- coinstances la,which this writing woe ob­tained, ore not more clearly defined.

But what are facta are these; I am pretty fairly acquainted, sufficiently so to be able toread and write for all Unary purpnee*(thanks to my mimerons travels as m artlet, and to the Russian blood la me) with theHerman. Italian, Spanish. French and Dan­ish (similar to Norwegian) tongue«, and con- •equently with the style of hand writing, used by these different nationalities. Now I beg yon to remark that the handwriting In those languages on the elate la Identical In all.The M's and 8’e, small and capital, are the

until 1 read this fast message from "John- Gray." I bad occasion once to draw an Im­aginary Assyrian tesnifle for a book, and be­ing then In Parle, I naturally ransacked the Lonvre museum and special works on the an­cients. to give me some Idea on the subject, something “ Old Aelastlc" In short.

Any of yonr readers anxious to help John Gray to write In cuneiforms, an in ­dignant letter to that heathen Assyrian, woald certainly be rendering a great service to J. 0 . who will be In the fnture, I sun sore, more cautious la the choice of bis ac­quaintanceship in the other world.

Now either John Gray did bring a spirit to write this old Astatic, or heswrote it himself, admitting that the state m gen] atne aad not a skilful fraud. If J. GV’dld bring n spirit, that spirit Hed In saying he was an Assyrian, and that he communicated writing In caaeiform characters. We are entitled, therefore, to believe that the signa­ture of ZTillner (which Is Incorrectly spelled) and s llir more that of Socrates are forgeries commuted by lying spirits. If J. G. didnot bring this splrjt. be' tells a lie and com mite the forgeries himself. If John Graywrote these communications himself, (as pos­sessing more control over themodlnm) under_ __________ I_____dictation from the other spirits, a statementspl

* - ” B! ■ .................................of Dr. Henry Blade. Previously obtaining by letter a specimen of Dr. Blade’s handwrit­ing, I met him to have a chat togethor, In the course of which we both complained of the general bad state of car health, and the total absence of good conditions to obtain phenomena. Our conversation had been going on for some time, when raps wereproduced on the back of the. choir I was sit­ting In, the' distance of a large fireplace sep­arating me from the medium. On the doctorhearing them, he proposed that we might try to >Tget something, and conseqaently we retired into hie bed room, which he uses for his sittings. No other peraon present In the apartment -bnt oar two solves; time, II A.H.; bright sunlight; room clearly lighted by

' ed the table, turna large window. 1 examined the ing It apslde down: no possibility of me­chanical contrivance In the thin board formIng the top; no drawers or other places where anything coaid be bidden; plainsquared legs, four la number, the top of the table projecting beyond them for about afoot and a half. Dr. Blade after placing two states taken oat of a pile fresh from thestore, on the table, seated himself near the window aldewlse. I could observe any move-meut on his part, hit« whole person being fatly lq the light. I seated myself oppositehim, and taking np the two slates examined them at leisure. No writing was oa them.I cleaned them, however, myself; they never left my hands one moment from the time they wore placed on the table. Load raps came in various parts, of the room, table, etc., which It woe an utter Impossibility for,the medium to produce except thgt^tre' nod had elastic arms about twetwf foot long, which I don't think woald ItfiVe escaped my attention.^ Dr. Slade remarked bow particu­larly strong the InOoeuce of hla control, Mr. Clarke, seemed to be, observing at the a^ine time that there was an equally atrong influ­ence present, but unknown to him; tbld In­fluence, being a sensitive bnt not a medium, I was aware of.

Whilst I held the elates apart. Dr. Slade pat oa the tower one a fragment of state- pencil. I examined It and fonnd it pre- aented two dark, rough ends, bearing tes­timony to Its having been, as was the case,fm bly broken off from a larger piece. I en­closed this piece of pencil between the twoelate* holding them firmly together with my hands. On the suggestione! the m ediam iploeéd the Mates on my chest, the upper cor­ner of the ernte being on a level with my loft ear. The medium then took the extrem­ity I was bolding with my left hand, In hlgright and placed his left hand In my now freed left hand. The state woe thus fullyin my eight and bearing. Writing begsmImmediately, as attested by a certain scra„ „ tug sound in the Interior of the slates. Jinpaying close attention I conld distinctly trac* the sound of dotting the l’s, and crossingthe t's, and remarked also that the Bcratch log began at one end (mine) aad went to the other extremity (the medium’s); this I conld certify because the notee diminished in in­tensity the farther It went from my ear, aad started with renewed vigor when It ¿fame back again. I concluded also that the jivrit-Ing or scratching waa being done on thelelate which laid direct!^ against me. If the wgitr ing wAwla any Knropean tongue,—wPft- ten from left to right as it had started from my end.^Tblaecntcblng nolee could aotbeprodaeed by the medium himself, for my eyes never quitted hie right hand and wristfor oa Instant, N o t* muscle moved.

The medium was engaged In perfectly In­different conversation with me, or rather with himself, for I wa* too occupied in my Investigation to answer him. At the end of about three rplnotes the writing or scratchingceased, and a few rape on the alate annotine ed the fact, I selxed the slates Immediatelywith the left baud, and laid them on the table, I uncovered the under one, which had been laying directly agalaatTne, by. slidingthe upper one off o f 3 under one, ihad correct!/ guessed, was written on. The first words that caught my eye ogni to the handwriting, long behthe signature, which was - am Jfo-mr,—signature Identical

The pencil that was between tbo elate was also examined by mo.

Paris, France, ____ G. D. Hour.A prominent Spiritualist author and news­

paper writer In a tetter criticising the Evans- Owen elate says:

"It la noted, also, that the Greek communi­cation on this slate, signed Socrates, Is not written In the uncial character^ which were In use la the time of Socrates and for some time thereafter, bat la the more modern form of Greek text. Accent« are also used In this communication, though they were unknown to Bocrates, being an Invention of later days. In addition, the second word in the commu­nication le ungrammatical.”

We are also Informed by Mr. W. E. Coleman, that the alleged Egyptian characters havo nothing Egyptian about them; that they are neither hieroglyphic, hieratic, nor demotic, bat evident nineteenth-century fabrications pertaining to no language; and that as soon os he saw the cut of Ihe slate In San Fran­cisco, he told the editor of the Golden G ate that the alleged Assyrian and Egyptian char­acters were not genuine representations of the writing In tlfcse countries, bat were plainly manufactured to order. Explana­tions substantially the name os those of Mr. Home have appeared In the M edium and D aybreak of London. Mr. Home's communi­cation baa been on file for publication several month*, and was aot Mtggtatod by the arti­cles In onr English contempory.—[Editob Journal.

Evans, the Fsycbognpblc Medium at Lo* Angele*, Cal,

By special invitation from J. J. Owen, a séance was given by Fred Evans, a young English spiritualistic medium,j»ho will give a public manifestation of hlA_power at the Opera house to-night, for members of theBros«. Mr. Berry repw&ented the Herald,

lr. Kemp the Express, and or course a TBrt- unk scribe was there, and these three with Mr. Owens formed the circle, which was held at the Montrose, on Main1 atrest. The scribes placed themselves around an ordinary table, and carefully watched the preparation of the elates. They were first thoroughly cleaned, and then violently scratched with a elate pencil to show that no sympathetic writing qr-chemlcal legerdemain had been practiced. They were again carefully cleaned and firm­ly fastened together with wax. A email fragment or elate pencil had first been put between the enfolded slates. Then the scribes int their hands upon them and waited. Tesently the faint marking of the pencil

was heard, and when these ceased the first“ was token up and an inscription in -sevAral oolorrf was perceptible.

A s'au additional test a large cross had been drawn from corner to corner, and over this the markings of the communication conld readily bo traced, thus showing that the writing had been done 'after the cross was drawn. The communications upon the second slate examined were written in at sorts of directions , and In very different hands, as If by different persons. None of the reporters in attendance received any communications, all the messages sent being addressed to other gentlemen wbt> had been Invited to be present.

The Borrowing of Christian Symbol*.

The church won all Its doctrines, preceptor and form alas from more ancient faiths. Its trinity waa tetac and Platonic; 1U Cross and Enoharletlc sappers were ages old before onr era; the Benson on the Mount U a Talmudic compilation; the Lord's Prayer was Intoned In synagoguesW in * Km#»»« i f , « v l . l i t .

Yet this does not prove Christianity an Im­posture, or even an Imltetloa. I bare _ often annoyed, by sciolists who when hear­ing the statement that fyas here been made. Interrupt the reasoning to denounce the whole matter after that style. This kind of tangential argument makes the whole tocte of unbelievers weak end superficial. Hence, .the universal I usti not and ooovtotlou Is adverse to them .. I never beard COL Iagenoli but one*, though I have read many of his pro­ductions. He declaims like a lawyer before

All human speech la symbolism. Bounds by usage era made to represent thought; and writing .to represent Bounds. Yaatneeelm- plles excellence, and altitude moral superior­ity. So the Divine Principle was dewrlbod os ubiquitous and personified In words asthe Most High. Bo, too, we praise human motive« as lofty, and depict their influence osfar: reach Ing.

Again, so far te we have record or other remains of humankind, we find a hope and faith la Immorlalltj. and a consciousness that that Immortality la all ted to a Divine Being and <unstitntM«re!atftm of fraternity between all hnmaa being*. BeUgtout rites grew oat of each trust, and oohaulut« a sym­bolic language to signify this fetation and alliance. \

Religions do not, however, spring Ini Istonce, like tbegoddeas Athena full-grotto and panoplied. They are always the outcome of men’s perception of the Better end their own mental and moral condition. Hence they begin like Infanta, grow Into adult vigor and pass Into unproductive senility. Indeed, more faitha have pertehed and been forgotten than can be enumerated on the earth.

idèa which began them often has pretty much died oat of them. Islam. Bnddhtem, Par- seelsm, Judaism, are all different from the teachings of Mohamed, Gautama, Zoroaster, Moses and Exra. And who would dare de­scribe Christianity from any model contain­ed In a Goepel orlo the Sermon an the Mount? The Bible, the Koran, the Aveeta, the Vedas and the Baskets are dead letters when eacha cnIlls applied.

Nor la tale wholly evil or apostate. We may os well drew tn onr swaddling clothe*.or our pinafores, or In the garments of former generations, as fetter ourselves to old notions and standards. There can be no In­fallible creed or chnreh. It must change.

Yet the glut of all religions, the central life and truth, will not vary. Existence as dis­tinguished from being pertains to external matters, to objectification. As, therefore, the Idea le the same, the symbol will denote It after a manner likely to be uniform. Every ubw worship will be liable to adopt symbols And rites like older ones. It will not neoee- Barily be imitation. Children have features like their parents and ancestors; so. too. re­ligious have rites and customs like older worship«. In this way hOs Christianity adopted from the nobler Persians, Assyrians, tbe Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and tbo Northmen, mutton* of belief, «octal aad religious custom«, etc. The point for us la— whether it bos duly digested and assimilated them Into Its own structure, so that they answer pur purpose.

I do apt doubt that U has passed its day, and that a new faith must take form to sat­isfy the wants of thinking persons. We can not rest content when told that the primor­dial celt developed into Jeans and Plato; anr- v i v i v y r o « u w «D aun BUU g 1BHI, UlUhearts and thoughts Instinctively reach for the parent pLjhat primordial cel]. Logie,

We need more of the Mye-Uflo in good lie ticism whose language Ib symbolism,—aye, of the BnpersUtiou which Is aa tbe word gen­etically means, a-surviving of the holy prin­ciple of reverence that otlles man to God. Thus the symbols of thousands of years ago will be anew the expression or onr latest faith and most intelligent worship.
