Ellen ’s St r a n g e St o r y .

Cincinnati, Saturday, November 2(>, 1892. Volume XL No. 22-

B y c o n n a m a y m o r r i s .

C H A P T E R I.It was the beginning o f the Winter, in the year 1SS6. There

had been an unusually pleasant Autumn for the mountainous .country o f Colorado, but the beginning o f real Winter came at last, and upon the night o f which our story opens, a severe storm had set in, and was raging over summit and through valley.

It would have been a perilous undertaking,for man or beast,ID have faced such a stone, and some such thought crossed "Squire Dunn's mind, as he sat with his wife and daughter,•round the cheerful blaze o f the log fire, which crackled upon tbehearth o f his cabin, enjoying, iu true man fashion, his pipe and newspaper.

The storm was growing alarmingly severe as the hour's vent by, and when the clock struck ten, pretty Ellen Dunn laid aside the book, in which she had been vainly trying to in­terest herself. She shivered, and, drawing a light shawl about her shoulders, crossed the room to the east window o f the cabin, and pnshing the curtain back, peered out into the tight. The windows rattled as the heavy gusts o f wind swept by, and went screaming along like some wild, frightened ani mal pursued, then dying in sad moaning whispers, far away in the distance. The snow was circling and whirling in fit ful eddies, and the tiny white drifts lay upon the window-sill outside. The wind continued to howl dismally, bat never be­fore had 'Squire Dunn’s lovely daughter been so affected by the warring elements. She felt, in some nnexplicable way. ehe w a s being made aware that some inevitable danger was near at hand; and standing before the window, she pressed her face closer against the cold panes o f glass, in her eager ness to catch some minute idea o f the strength o f the awfol

! storm. Suddenly, she turned very pale, and bent her ear to determine tbe sonnd, which she believed she bad heard, bat which faintly died away in the howl o f the wind, that went screeching down into the canons below.

Ellen remained standing in the same position for some ■ mutes, then suddenly uttered a sharp little cry o f distress, tfartling her parents, and bringing her mother speedily to her side.

f t . “What is it, £1160?** enquired the alarmed mother, ns she asted the extreme pallor o f the girl's face. But Ellen made

L j» reply, and continued to stare.in cold set gazeJLomercLjthe. window. Mrs. Dunn felt thoroughly .frightened now, and forcing her daughter gently back, she dropped the curtain, to ihnt oat the hideous blackness o f tbe night, and aroused her kasband, who had returned to his paper and was again oblivi- 00s to his surroundings.

"Just look at E llen, p a ; she is ilL Ellen, Ellen," she called Bat the girl gave no sign that she heard, and her mother ibook her gently, but all in vain. She continued to stare fixedly, while her pallor had deepened until i t appeared ghastly, in the flickering fire-light.

Mr. Dunn was a practical man, and not easily moved, but he viewed his daughter's attitude with something akin to dis- may, and advancing near, touched tbe face, which was fright- folly cold, in its marble-like whiteness. •’Ellen,” he called,"rouse up, my dear, and tell ns what is tbe matter." B at she heeded not, and continued to stare at the window, with head slightly bent, as i f in a listening attitude. Suddenly an­other cry escaped the white lips, and she pointed her finger significantly toward the E a s t: “ Look, look," she cried, “ there is Harry, pa, and he is lost in the mountains, in this awfol storm." And covering her face with her hands, as i f to shut out an unwelcome sight, sobbed, piteously, “ O h ! Harry. Harry.”

Very much alarmed, the anxious parents sought to qniet their daughter, thinking some sndden mania had taken pos session of her, bnt all their efforts availed nothing. She still moaned and sobbed, and clinched her bands frantically, until the nails sunk deep into the tender flesh, leaving cruel dents ia their wake.

But again, w ith the suddenness, which had characterized her peculiar state, the girl’s demeanor changed, and she be­came calm, and in a steady voice said : “ Pa, we must go in search o f poor Harry. We can easily find him, for I see tbe way plainly; he is in the entrance o f a canon, sheltered by the overhanging rocks from the storm. But 1 see some distance fur ther up the canon two mountain lion s; they, too, have sought shelter from the storm, and are crouching close to the rocks So let ns make haste, for i f we wait until morning before we begin our search, it will be too late !’’

As Ellen ceased speaking, she again became her natural self, save tbe pallor o f her face, and a slight nervous tremor which occasionally shook her plump little figure.

Her parents questioned her closely, feeling much bewild­ered at the strange spectacle they had witnessed; besides, each felt an irresistible influence, perhaps that imparted by Ellen, together, with a dread or fear, as o f some calamity about to overtake them. And as a result o f the strange or deal they had just passed through, they began preparations for their nocturnal visit into the rocky wilds o f the moun tains.

It was now nearing the hour o f midnight, and the two sure footed, sturdy ponies stood at the garden gate, saddled and equipped for the journey. The wind had almost ceased, and only a few scattering flakes o f snow went sailing slowly and gracefully through the air. The stars shone dimly in the far distant canopy o f heaven, and a solemnness, like a funeral pall, teemed to bang over the mountains and valleys, and as Ellen and her father mounted the restive creatures, they, too,

impressed with the mournfulness that had settled down upon the little searching-party, and the lonely little wo­man, who was left standing upon the steps o f the cabin, and who watched until the last glimmer from the lantern's lights, flashed over the hill-top and disappeared from view.

After Mrs. Dunn had watched her husband and Ellen dis­appear over the mountain side, she hurriedly entered the cabin and secuxely barred the door. Then stirring np the heap of logs that lay upon the broad bearth, placed the kettle apon some coals, preparatory, to brewing a cheering cap of tea, for she dreaded the lonely hours which moat pass ere the return of her loved ones.

■ 6* C H A P T E R //.

Some eightlyears before the opening of our story, 'Squirt Dunn, as he was familiarly called by friends and acquaint­ances, removed from Utica, New York, at the suggestion of his family physician, to Colorado. Mrs. Dunn's health had been rapidly declining for a year or more, and after testing the virtues o f the different eastern health resorts without avail, was advised to try the invigorating air o f the “Great Rockies," and accordingly acted upon the advice of their physi­cian and came west, settled some twenty miles west o f A l­pine, off the Union Pacific Railway. They had enjoyed their mountain home so thoroughly, and lived in a state of snch perfect health, that Mr. and Mrs. Dnnn seldom revisited their New York friends. Ellen had graduated at a New York aca­demy two years prior to our narrative, and now loved her wild mountain home as fervently as did her parents.

Harry Dunn was the only son and heir o f the 'squire, and although be bad taken as kindly to the mountain wilds of Colorado, as his parents and sister be had begun tbe atudy o f law with his uncle in his native town, and could not leave for two years hence. So be bad consoled himself with long summer vacations during bis college career, and continued to spend his vacations at his father’s mountain cabin, hugely en­joying the fishing and hunting expeditions, with an occa sional friend or two for company.

So at tbe close o f a November day, Harry Dunn sat tilted back in a ponderous office chair, with a volume o f tbe law upon his knee. Tbe book was closed, and the young man meditatively stroked the curling ends o f his brown mustache, suddenly he sprang to his feet, and slapping the book upon the desk, with a very strong emphasis, exclaimed, “ I’ll do it.

“ Do what, Harry?" enquired his uncle, glancing curiously over bis spectacles.

“ Why, I am going home to spend Thanksgiving, ha '• ha bntwon’t the folks be surprised,though? And,by jo v e ! I’ll have some tall game, too, for the Thanksgiving feast. This is tbe fifteenth, I’ll pack my grip, clean np my shot-gun and rifl and start to-morrow morning."

“ It appears to me, young maxr,” said the kind-hearted uncle, “ that this journey has been very suddenly planed; but never mind,” be added, “ go i f you wish, but don’t stay longer than the twenty-eighth o f the month, for it is necessary for me to make a business trip o f ten days to New York City, and must leave here by tbe third o f December. I will leave you in charge o f tbe business. But you have ample time for your visit and return."

So tbe following morning found Harry Dunn enronte for the West, with heart ligh t and brain busy with plans o f bunt­ing “ big game" in the Rocky Mountains.

- Surras jnst fbnrdayyiuterw hen he stepp ed~~off The train at Alpine, and shouldered his guns and strapped a light traveling valise over bis shoulder, preparatory to a twenty- mile jaunt over the mountains to his father’s cabin. The weather looked lowering, and knowing something of the nat­ure o f a “ western blizzard," he resolved to trudge on toward his destination witbont delay. It was a hard walk which lay before him, but he was sturdy o f limb and mnscle, and rather enjoyed tbe novelty o f his situation; so he went briskly on at swinging gate, and had traversed some three miles, when jack-rabbit hopped to cross bis oath. This was enough, his good resolve was forgotten, and he left the path in pursuit The animal was a vigilant creature, and had scented danger, and made off as fast as he could, Harry following in its wake. But it escaped, and after beating about the stunted bushes for an hour, hoping to start up more game, Harry returned to the path which had been le ft a mile to the northward. He looked at his watch, and it was half past eleven, and feeling somewhat wearied and hungry, he sought out a pleasant retreat, and was soon doing justice to a hearty luncheon, with which he had prepared him self at the station. After the lunch hatfbeen carefully discussed, he went in search o f water, being thirsty, and also feeling the need o f a refreshing bath o f face and hands,and so time sped on,while the yonug man loitered by the way, and ere he was aware, the short November day was slant­ing toward the shades o f evening. The wind came songbing through the short hardy limbs o f the scrub oaks, and the clouds flew swiftly by, gathering their masses o f vapor, and darkening the blue o f the sky, finally shutting out the light o f day, as the snow began to fall in great fleecy flakes to the ground.

It soon dawned upon the young man’s mind that he had lost hisjway, a severe storm had set in with the night, and he was at least five miles from his destination. I f he shonted he could not be heard, so he cooly and calmly sat down in the friendly shelter o f some overhanging rocks, to await his des­tiny. Tbe storm raged on, growing more severe as the hours dragged by, and finally, feeling cramped and benumbed, he arose and begun a violent exercise to warm his chilled blood.

He kept up this performance until feeling exhausted, he again sank down upon the rocks and soon was sleeping. How long be slept he could not tell, bnt be had been awakened from a peculiar dream, and had heard distinctly bis sister' voice repeating his name, “Ob, Harry, Harry !** He started np, but again he was benumbed and chilled from the cold and it was with difficulty that be forced himself into an exer cise.

Daring the whole o f the time, his brain had been unusually clear, and his mind alert, as he reviewed his dream again and again. In dreaming, he had plainly seen his awful situation he knew he was lost, and naturally, he bad thought o f hia home, and more especially o f his sister, o f whom he had al ways been extravagantly fond. And, too, it seemed he had not been able to realize that be was in any real danger during his waking period, before be had fallen asleep, but during that strange dream he had been made aware o f his perilous position. He thought be bad stood at a distance, and saw his own figure leaning back against the rocks o f his cavern­ous shelter; and that finally he looked far np the canon, and there pressed closely against a huge rocky wall, where a pro­jecting rock formed a roof over a sort o f shelving, lay snngly two mountain lions. Then he had awakened and plainly

, heard Ellen speak his name, and her voice had sounded fall of sobs, as though she were in distress and weeping.

| After a time the storm began to abate, and there appeared a few twinkling stars. Bnt strange to say the purturbed mind of Harry Dunn gradually calmed ; he was now calmer than be­fore his waking dream, but it was a different calm, not that brought about by philosophically viewing an unpleasant cir­cumstance, which bad at first possessed him, but the calm that comes of a realization o f seenrity, from trouble or danger.

So the remaining hours were full of expectation and hope, bnt **by, Harry Dnnn was not able to dc6ne. Connecting this Peasant view of hit situation, with his strange dream, and, w hen suddenly aroused by a load ringing about, he imme­diately recognized his father's voice, and quickly responded'

Ten minntes later the rescuing parly and the rescued were embracing each other in a rather idiotic manner, bnt it mattered not to them, their hearts were filled with s greet joy, and it was a fitting time to rejoice, (or the lost had been found.

Of coarse, there were explsnstions. which only plunged the philosophical 'sqnire, deeper into the mystery, as he st-1 tentivcly listened to the comparing of notes between Harry

nd Ellen, and be knew their experience was genuine. Tbe phenomenon,however,was a deep mystery which he could not explain away, bat he felt very gratefal, nevertheless, for El­len’s strange vision, which had served as a means of rescuing his son from the jsws o f death.

RENAN.I'ROF. J . CLE G G W RIGH T.

The great French writer and Semitic scholar is dead. HU beautiful soul has gone into that higher life of intelligence and truth. He had a remarkable career, and it has cocie to an end. The great light o f bis genius is gone oat and dark­ness and sorrow are with ns, for tbe world of letters is poorer by his loss. He was old and full of years. He had worked like a Trojan and done his duty like a courageous and honest man, that be assuredly was. Though he is gone from us be yet liveth, and the work which he accomplished U not likely to die, but aims to take a high place in the esteem of the best informed of men. Renan was a man who lived in an atmos­phere above ordinary men. Dogmas bound him not, the frontiers o f thought which satisfied other men held him not he was a free ro&mer over the domain of thongbt Churches did not stop bis enthusiastic spirit. He loved truth and was ready to follow it anywhere. He bad an eye which looked into a profound realm of thought. He bad a love and genius for tbe study of religious history. He was a scientific student o f history, a critic, a sifter of historic truth, and bis work will have alasting effect on the Christian Church and theology.

Tbe Bible is a unique book. It holds a peculiar place among historical books. Christians make a claim for it that they deny to every other book. It is tbe one precions, divine book a God's holy book. A revelation from him, and the only one bfc ever made or will make to man. He has spoken and w illjf'eak no more. Eternal silence now sits upon his lips* Sucffa book is too precious To be criticized, doubled or feTuted' The Church is founded upon its authority. The priests expound it to the people. Learned professors in the universities in tbe Christian world affirm the Bible to be tbe word o f God. It is more authoritative than experience or reason. Tbe Bible is paramount. Doubt o f its claims was sin. Doubt was infidelity and infidelity was blasphemy. Faith was a virtue and doubt a crime. In tbe eyes of tbe devout tbe man who disbelieves tbe Bible is guilty o f the greatest sin a man can commit on earth. A man who doubts the Christian religion can have no fellowship with Christians. Let him be anathema amarnatha. In the eyes o f a Christian to persecute an infi­del is an obligation. The Bible holds its place and power be­cause men daTe not think and inquire into its merits freely only so far as they gain courage from tbe study of science and the experimental method. Thus the Bible holds a soli­tary place. It is a sacred book which tells the human soul the way to a tearless life beyond ,the grave, or one o f ever lasting woe. It is the one book which deals with the problem of faith, repentance, salvation, and justification. This book speaks to us out o f the ruins of forgotten generations. Its origin is lost in the mist. It tells ns o f the creation of the world, the way man first made his extraordi nary appearance on the planet in the Garden of Eden. It says God made man perfect. Eve was made from a rib taken out o f the side o f Adam while in a deep sleep. It tells o f the snbtle skill o f the serpent. How it could walk and talk in those halcyon days in Eden. It tells ns also that Adam and Eve listened to the persuasive eloquence o f the serpent and partook o f the fruit o f the forbidden tree, and for this dis obedience God drove tbe unfortnnate pair out o f Eden. It is the most tragic event in human history. Once free and out of Eden man grew worse and worse until God sent a flood upon the earth which drowned every living thing except those crea tures that went into the ark with Noah. Its greatest message o f joy is that o f the coming to earth o f the only begotten son of God. Jesus Christ was born o f Jewish origin, occupying veiy poor station in life. The boy god grew np to be a man following the trade o f a carpenter. At thirty-three years of age he was crucified. After three days he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. The Bible contains a thou sand more very extraordinary things, which the Christian world.looka upon as divine truth, and which to disbelieve, soul will be cast into hell. The Bible is claimed to be infallible. The Chnrch bnilds all its dogmatic strength upon it. Its in tegrity is everything to the Church. Once destroy its author! ty and the Chnrch tumbles to pieces.

Since the time of Lord Bacon the scientific method has been the means of increasing to a marvelous degree tbe total sum of human knowledge. Science has become a mighty power in the world. The scientific method has been applied to the investigation of history, and much that was once accepted as genuine history has been set aside as mythical. A distinguished class o f German scholars have pursued the same method in the atudy of the Scriptures, and have led to results far from pleasing to the Church. Renan, in every way a Frenchman, started out to make a comparative study of all Oriental or Semitic religions.

Science abhors a miracle, a miracle can not appear among the phenomena of nature. Starting an examination of the different religions o f the East with this rule in hand it be­comes perceptible at a glance that the miraculous events of the Bible must all be denied as true events, and must be thrown away as the childish creations of fancy. Renan was educated and trained in the Roman Catholic Chnrch and early discovered rare powers o f intellect and imagination, and an ability to express himself that ia even rare in an age of fine writers. These qualities united with industry, erudition, and an imagination as vivid as that of Lamertines, and a moral natnre as sweet as that o f Fenelon’s, be soon found that the

Roman Catholic Chnrch was not his place. He saw another truth. He could not teach that which he did not believe. Years of anticipstion and hope were given op. Old friends in the Church were left and friendships broken. In bis own ere he was an honest man ; in that of the Church an infidel and an enemy of God.

There is something charming to s poetical mind abont the Hebrew race. Tbe rise of that nstion, the romantic and spir­itual episodes of its history, and its tragic desolation. The connection of that race with the evolution of religion makes it donbly interesting for not only the unique place it holds in the general history of t ie Semitic race, bnt in as much as it has the honor of being the first favorite of heaven. Jcsns Christ was a Jew and stamped with all the qualities of that de\oted race. Renan found a common likeness in tbe re­ligions cults of tbe EasL Tbe Egyptian, Tertian, and Hindoo religions were sisters, and represented the same parent. Some distant race gave birth to one religion that in the course of time through local and geographical changes developed vari­ations and variety in the common beliefs and dogpss of religion. Renan perceiving this fact realized that all religions were a growth from the human mind in different stages of nofoldment and natural surroundings. Differences of opin­ion will long exist as to whether Renan painted a true picture of Jesus Christ. He stripped the gospel narratives of their supernatural character and eliminated tbe miraculous element from the work of Christ. This done Jesus becomes simply a piritual teacher of strong socialistic proclivities, which, when

looked at from the standpoint of modern economics, are neither desirable nor practical. When Jesus Christ is nothing but a man—Deity taken away from him—be simply sinks to the level of a moral teacher. Without Christ as a savior Christianity is but a sjstem of ethical culture. Kenan's

Life of Jesus” strikes a terrible blow at Christianity.Renan was not a flippant or vulgar assailant. There was

nothing coarse or low abont him. His voice was that of the scholar. His judgment that of a man who knew more about what he was talking than any other man now liring. It is too soon to tell the result of his work. He baa drawn others to work in the same field. Men begin to value more and more tbe scientific method applied to the study of history. Daily the work done in the school makes theological power weaker.

When Jesus Christ falls into the line of a moralist be is no more to the life of the race than Seneca or Marcus Aurelius.

When miracle is given np the supernatural is dead as a power over men’s ideas, and all that Science asks is conceded.

---------J S E CON SCIOHS-SErRITISTS___

There is more to us than we know. We are, some of ns, the embodiment of the very principles we repel and con­demn. I find I have a deal of Spiritism in me, and am only beginning to perceive it after more than fifty earthly years!

have always withdrawn from Spiritism, and have said (in the pulpit and out of it) that it was a phase of develtry. Many times I have been told of the holy influences which permeated atmospheres from the spirits who accompanied me. The talk meant twaddle to me.

A year ago a window broke into a thousand fragments in my room. A rude boy threw a rock, I supposed, designedly or carelessly. It was night and very dark. 1 arose to arrange the blind and sweep np the glass, and, lo ! not a breakage could be discovered. Instantly a loud blow was beard on the springs of my bed. I turned more quickly than a flash to see who was in my room, and this thought was given me: “No­body is here; it is a wave o f spirit power, (consider it.” I repelled tbe suggestion by saying that it was an impolite spir­it to so disturb one at a late hour.

Afterwards I was arranging papers in the same room, and a package that I needed and intended to reach came directly to me, lifted by unseen forces, it dung so dosely to my left hand that it required the strength of my. right hand to re­move it.

One very early Winter morning my room was filled with the music o f ringing bells. No earthly sound can be com­pared or associated with the 'sweetness of the tones; and there came to me, visibly, the dearest friend I ever had; beau­tiful in her eternal life. She was sixty-eight years old when she went away, but the face at that moment was as cheering and fair as a child of seventeen. She said in a voice unmis­takably her own: “He that will save his life shall lose i t ” Words which from that hour have meant sermons to me.

My being was more aroused to see what Spiritism is. I went first to a psyebometrist [Dr. Tripp, of Boston]. He had never seen me or heard of me, yet he told me the story of ten years o f my life as accurately as if my biography was a printed page; described my life and my familiar friends. I went to G. V. Cordingly (who was then in Boston), and he said my grandfather would speak to me. “And which grandfather ?” said I. “He whose grave contains besides his own, tbe coffin of his little daughter.” And then 1 remembered that my grandmother had told me that when her little girl died, she opened her husband's grave and the child was laid upon his bosom. But the opening of that grave was in 1S02, ninety years ago. It is hardly probable that any body in the world knows the fact of that interment bat myself.

My door has several times nnlocked, raps came at different places. And now I c&u recall inc'dents all my life long, in keeping with these facts, which I have never noticed, or passed them with mere surface thought Once 1 saw my mother; her face was so attractive in its immortality that it has been my only memory of her since. And yet it was then only to me an illusion.

Now the question comes, have I not always been an uncon­scious Spiritist ? Has not an nnseen been open to me ? And i f so, why have I turned np my nose like a pot-hook at that which has been literally a part of my.being ?

Mrs. Elizabeth Stanton, the oldest person in the United States, died at Altoona, Pa., recently. She was x 17 years old. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Jamison, and she was born in the spring of 1775 in Lancaster County. Her age is beyond question, being proven by the family Bible, several hundred years old. She was the mother of five children, three of whom are yet living, Her son Richard is a wealthy citizen of California.

A tbooght/al study o f lb« biitory o f m ask isd shows that It has r r t r bora g o m n c d by tb s law o f progress, that law which the spirit must o b s r m is order to reach tb s stale o f happiness that ia its birthright. T his progress, or unfold- m eat, which has culminated into what is known as modern civilisation has been constant. Slow, apparently, st first, its course has coo tin nail 7 increased ia velocity—the knowledge a c q s in d ia the preceding stage, adding to the momentum w ith which it entered the neat. T h is course has not been spasmodic -—nothing is ia nature— nor has it ever been effect­ually stayed. Checks U has received, but their effect has been to change ita direction. not to stop it. We may turn the current o f a river, we can not keep it from flowing.

Xn order to follow the effect o f progress upon the race wa should have present to the mind the dual nature o f man, the material and the spiritual, each urging him to advance, by different means, towards his great object in life— bsp pi ness. Primal man was but little above the beaatsjhis companions. Ilia only superiority over them was his intellect— the visible sign o f his spiritual nature, o f the immortal soul within him, whose capabilities, yet nnrevemled, were unlimited. Naked, defense leas, a u caklin g amid formidable forces, to what could he turn his latent energies but to the preservation o f life, to protecting h im self against the dangers that beset him on every side f A ll the power o f his undeveloped intellect wan called into play for that one e n d , he conquered. Ilia n est effort was to preserve what he had conquered and to enjoy it in j race.

Thus, d atin g a period, w hich may be called the babyhood o f the h asu a race, the necessities o f the animal in man d i­rected his c Sorts towards securing his material improvement, and only tc wards that. T h e spirit ia those days was the ser­vant o f the body, and ita nnfoldm eat did not keep pace with that o f its master. But the “ spark divine'* burned steadily, if dim ly, in n an ; and while fighting the w ild beasts, struggling with wind and tem pest, or, w ith unskilled hands and clumsy tools delving the soil that he sprinkled with the sweat o f h is brow, strange sensations came to his brain. He had as a memory o f some brighter world, o f some great power that could command those forces so terrible to him. A longing for som ething unknown and nndefinable filled his breast, and he raised his eyes upward. T h e spirit asserted its claims : man thought. Unable to define that m ysterious being, whose power was revealed in the thunder, in the tempest, in other forces as litt le understood, he adored him in those forces. T h e sun had its first worship, its life g iv in g warmth proba­bly suggested the first conception o f a kind Cod.

Y et, surrounded as man wsa, by violence, and liv in g by violence, b e could not be satisfied w ith the idea o f a benefi­cent C od, and be clothed divin ity with supernatural strength and p ow er; especially with the power o f destruction. Dread­in g the anger o f this terrible being o f bis own creation, he

no truths discovered were lost, but remained to help the on ward march. K r a i between the lines of history and you can trace this advance throughout the part ages. And to tracing this advance we may also understand the raoaev o f failure •• well as those o f success . we may learn how the conditions arising from the influence of the past affect the present and modify the future. W ithout going fax back for facts wa easy see the truth o f this theory demonstrated. The latter part o f the eighteenth century witnessed two events vbose influences on the destinies of mankind can not be overr^ed. Those events were the American struggle for independence ia 177**. and the French revolution of 1 These two strug­gles for liberty ended very differently. Let us review them briefly.

No purer motives ever rets ted than those o f the men who inaugurated the French revolution . no greater and mors sw* - ceaafal efforts to vindicate the rights o f m ao—rights o f the body and rights of the sonl— were ever w ale . Yet the wild beasts ia the nature o f a certain down trodeo Frenchman caused them to stain with their brother's blood the in

ulate garm ents o f the goddess I.iberly. Insane blood­thirstiness prevailed, chaos reigned, then endless wars, on til ambition, personified in a frail Corsican soldier, crushed dis­order, and with it, a la s ' freedom, and builded an imperial throne upon the rains. The spirit-inspired movement was a failure. T ru e; but Napoleon died a wretched prisoner on the rock o f 5L H elena; but the immortal principles of had been disseminated all over Europe by the conquering ar­mies o f France, and the fra ils o f the seeds thus sown in the relative emancipation o f the other F.uropean nations , but af­ter half a century o f experim ents from despotism to consti tntionality, after seeing liberty once more strangled by a eon- terfeil Cicsar, France is free at last, forever free ' Truth and right have prevailed, as they ever must, for the march of pro­gress not be permanently obstructed.

How with Am erica.' Restless men in search of adventure, ambitious men anxious to better their fortunes, thinking men leaving their native land for the sake o f religious liberty, offenders against laws, most o f which protecting the mighty few ignored the rights o f the defenseless many all these bnman beings, representing the good and bad of the old- world civilization, were transported to s new country, trod­den hitherto only by the untutored savage— an uncivilized improvement on primal man. Here they, like their ancestors o f old, but better prepared, had to conquer nature, and, while recogni/ing the advantages o f combined endeavor, to learn the importance o f individual effort. Children were born onto them, who grew up amid the peculiar surrounding, and, as it were, between the counter-attractions o f two powerful mag' nets : on the one side savsge life, with ita alluring freedom, on the other civilization with ita restraints, and more refined pleasures. T h e result was a compromise, a blending o f the two, which produced a new race, bold, hardy, self-reliant, una­ble to bow ita banghty bead before injustice and oppression. W hen the exactions o f the mother country led the colonies to band together for self-defence and preservation o f their rights, the colonists had already served the apprenticeship of freedom, and the bell o f Liberty Hall was bat the echo o f a youn g giant's lnaty voice proclaim ing bis strength.

1 then take a letter in my band. Its p>*tsark is havas- nab, Ga., and from an acquaintance. I pres# this to my fore­head and close my eyes, Jn a few minutes I aas lost to aJl around roe, but am carried to a street in Savannah which I bad never seen. Thence to a small tenement, but nrat and tidy-looking. I find myself in an apartment containing ala- dy o f genteel appearance. I recognize her from the letter. The lady seems troubled.as if anticipating misfortune. She says : “ I cannot stand this any longer and must leave here* Then the scene changes. Tbe bouse is on fire. Ail is con­sumed. I see tbe woman elsewhere weeping. She seems ir­reconcilable. Now all is blank.

A few days later,I was called into s fruit store where s la­dy wasted to see me. I went in, when Jo 1 there stood far identical lady I had seen psycho metrically through tbe letter. What I bad seen proved true, and the trouble depicted in ber countenance meant tbe death of ber husband—of recent «o currence in this place.

As the latter was correct^mxy we not allow that tbe farmer was also ? Is psyebometry not s science worth cultivating/

R usJ'/rt, b. C.

C^oite a dramatic scene was enacted at Cassadaga Camp when Mrs. Isabella Beecher-1 looker was lecturing there.Mrs. Richmond wa# entranced on tbe platform before a crowded audience by the spirit of Henry Ward Beecher, wbo proceeded to make honorable amend# for bis manner o f treat­ing Spiritualism. Approaching Mrs. Hooker tbe medium knelt and penitently asked pardon for tbe wrong and mis un­der standing be had caused. It was dramatic, very, and was greatly enjoyed by the assembled people,

Tbe affsir brought up afresh tbe controversy between Mrs.Hooker and Mrs. Beecher whether Henry Ward was a Spirit­ualist or not. Tbe question has a comical side, for it is like s force after a funeral, and, unfortunately, however definite tbe declaration o f Beecher the spirit is, that o f tbe preacher is ambiguous, so that both sides may be equally well maintained, wherein be followed tbe Bible.

O f the Va/xtz preachers ia tbe United States, perhaps none ever attained equal acrobatic proficiency in standing on both sides o f tbe fence at the same time. In fact, such was bis dexterity that his hearers were hoodwinked, and were in doubt as to which side he was on. When once be came out squarely and made a clear declaration, be took occasion in his next sermon to blow np a cloud o f dust and lose himself in the obscurity. He preached a few years too long, and left tbe world the sad spectacle o f bis decay. In these last sad moments o f senility tbe following passage was proclaimed on witchcraft and 6piritoalism :

“ Now, as to this matter o f witchcraft— wbmeu witches, men wizards— I know just as much as you do and yon know just as much as 1 do, and we both know nothing. Certainly, at tbe time tbe narrative o f Saul's visit was written, it was believed to be merely a historical fact. The belief in witch­craft has permeated men’s minds in all ages. Even as late as two hundred years ago it wa* believed in by everybody— doc tors, lawyers, ministers, philosophers— and during tbe two hundred vears which preceded that time over half a million o f men had been burned to death in Europe after judicial trial and conviction o f participation in tbe black art. What has become o f that belief? Science struck it no sledge-ham­mer blows which drove it aw ay: no arguments which ever were framed against it had the Least effect. Jt was never dis­proved, and yet where has it gone ? No one knows, and no one knows why it has g o n e ; bat it has cleared np and floated away and become no more, even as a fog rises and disappears before tbe rays o f tbe morning sun. Still we have the old be­lie f in witchcraft among a few o f cmr people lingering yet, while in place o f it we have a sew kind o f communication with tbe spirit world. I mean by Spiritualists. Now in regard to this question : Do spirits ever revisit this earth ? I want to I say that 1 would be happy to believe they' did, but I have I w failed to discover it. The communications I have received I purporting to be from my parents were o f such a weak, milk, I and watery nature that they ought to have been put in an in-1 firmary. I have been at seances perhaps a dozen times in the j course o f my life and have seen many things I could not un- j derstand, but nothing to convince me that communication with a spirit world is open to ns."

I f Mr. Beecher “ knew nothing about witchcraft," why did he talk for an hour about it ? For that hour’s talk be received as salary something like and ought in honesty to have given an equivalent therefor. He confessed be knew nothing, except that tbe belief in witchcraft had gone, how or why be did not know.

There is one thing which Mr. Beecher knew, and every Bible student knows, that the existence o f witches and of I their craft is most clearly defined in that book. It makes no statement more absolutely ; and on its unqualified command not to suffer a witch to live rests the most damning atrocities I o f the past ages, ending in this country in the terrors o f the I Salem persecution. Mr. Beecher said : “ Science had no blow Ifor it." Science ia certain knowledge, and this, and this I The following from tbe Michigan Catholic is x fer »pas- alone, has awakened mankind from the nightmare o f dog-1 men of what Catholics are expected to belierc a» true, cms- metism which made wholesale torture possible. I ing as it does from tbe Holy Church, ssys the American Ctit-

Granting his version o f witchcraft going “ to tbe Witch of I zen: “Dean Wagner, o f Windsor, Ontario, came to K « d Endor to traffic with the devil"— “ to the powers o f darkness I some time ago in wretched health, completely broken dan> for help"— there conld be nothing more unjust than to refer I and had no earthly hope o f recovery. He promised Orr Spiritualism to tbe same source. When Mr. Beecher said be I Lady of Knock that if she, in ber glorious prerogative ef would be “ happy to believe" spirits did revisit tbe earth, but j mercy and charity, restored him to health be would bare ■ had “ failed to discover it," what did be think o f the Bible I pure white marble statue placed on hex altar? as a testiaocy records o f angel visitants?

Th« Relation of Spirits to Matter.MRS. X- S U S J J Z .

Can spirits see material objects independently, or do tier seed a mortal medium for that purpose ?

This depends upon circumstances, and upon the spirt, blany spirits become independent in this respect, cktbmg themselves with sufficient of earth substances, or r r t z r q enough to see, bear, and cognize passing events, ete_, as per­fectly as in tbe form. With others this is not the case. They see snd note from the spirit o f things instead ef tie material side. Bat, as a rule, these spirits ubo desire to do t work on earth for any length o f time so arrange matters asd envelop themselves as to be in all respects qualified far the work as though in the body.

We have been striving for a long time to establish a circle of this kind. The one in the East is doing wonderful work, and the work here is going on and will be grand. I f yon could see how anxious the spirits are, and know how we have to say No; we can not hold them longer,” and how they follow the

medium, you would be only too glad to welcome them. We congregate at a certain place and from there come here. If yon think it takes time for ns to come to you, I must say no. A thought can travel thousands and thousands o f miles in a second, and so can a spirit come thousands and thousands of miles to yon in a second. There are many who until to*day knew not that there was a place to meet yon, and have fol* lowed you. Yon have many spirits that stay with you,.but we bring those who have never returned, possibly, until this time. Yon have awakened an interest in this place, and also on the spirit side o f life. Yon have drawn together a strong band that also hold circles over here, and who will try to get additional information, and bring more and more o f yonr spirit friends. O friends, these spirits reach down with bean* tifol tokens of their love, not only in thought, bnt in acts, for many will comfort and many cover you with flowers. So lag not on yonr journey, bnt strive day after day to learn more. Care not for the worldly, bnt more for spirit communion, and wait patiently for the sweet messages to come to yon.

Question.— What would a clairvoyant be able to see as to the attending spirits and decorations o f the circle- room I

Answer.—A clairvoyant m ight be able to see every em . Mem that this room is decorated with on the spirit side o f life, for spirits bring to yon beautiful emblems. Clairvoyants see them, thongh some but faintly. But a fu lly developed risirroyant sees everything around you, and some even hear the loved ones whisper in y o u r ears. I f any one o f you believe yourself thns gifted and do not see, do not be dis­couraged. By earnest desire yon may develop soon. Many hste asked why clairvoyants close their eyes when they desire to see. T h is is because it is not^throngh the physical bat the spiritual eye that they perceive, and it is sometimes necessary to close the eyes in order to shut out th is world for the tim e being.

Question.— How does it help a spirit in the n ext world Jo know o f sp irit return in this ?

A n s w e r .— W ell, say, to day there has passed to the spirit life j one who never understood it, one who did not know it was [ possible to return, such a one finds th in gs so different that he ocarcely knows what to do. A nd perchance he has been ttnght, and still believes, that he can %not return, h e can •either disabuse h im self o f it, and thns waits and w aits and does not seem to grow spiritually. By- and-bye a spirit comes to him and says, "D o yon desire to retnrn to earth and learn more o f yourself?” H e replies, ‘‘H ow can I learn m ore o f myself?” “ Y on can learn that you can return and com muni* cate.” T h is helps the sp irit and he possibly goes w ith the missionary, for the one who has approached th is sp irit is a missionary. W e have m issionaries over here. W hen the spirit has gone back to earth life h e sees and understands and again returns to the spirit home. H e is then w illin g to learn more abont spirit life and abont progression there that he may return to those he loves. So, in sp irit life, sp irits can learn a great deal and be benefited b y it, for i f they bold the idea that there is no progression or way o f return, they will stand still. There are m any spirits who w ill not retnrn to earth life because they w ill not accept the truth. Y o n can not force a man here to accept the truth unless h e so w il ls ; neither can yon force a sp irit to accept it unless he so wills. Thus, yon can stay here for aged, and i f yon do not desire to learn more o f life, you w ill n o t It is lik e a child in school who does not desire to le a rn ; others in h is class w ill advance, bnt he remains in the same place. Som e have been here for ages and have not progressed because they have not given np the o ld idea o f heaven and hell, and do not believe they can return, and do not desire to return o r to learn. Bnt when they do desire to learn, it ia a grand truth to be in­formed that progression is eternal, and those who desire may goon and on through all eternity, learning more each day. I am glsd to ssy that in the last few years those who have stood still for years are reaching out and trying at th is day to pro­gress. T he ligh t is breaking on m any who have been in darkness, and they are b egin n in g to listen and reach up, and we are reaching down, and as they reach up and we reach down onr hands clasp and we draw them to tu the same as we reach down to your spirits incarnated in the body. W e are here to help yon, and we throw around yon our love and protection and bring you up in sp irit to us, and yon become w iser and better every day because yon b e­come more spiritual. T h e sp irit world is m uch the same as yonrs. There is not such a vast difference. W e have all you have, bnt it is m ore spiritual. W e have all we love. Y ou can have all you love, and it is th is great bond o f love that brings us back to you and that causes us to be anxious about the spirits who seem to stand still. But they are reaching ont to*day 1 and we do not find m any spirits who are not w ill­ing to progress, although at first on entering the sp irit world they seem confused, and I m ight say to day that there have been hundreds to enter the sp irit life that have not heard o f spirit life as it is. T h ey are confused and wonder and talk about it, and sa y ; “ W hat means th is ? W hy, I expected every­thing so different.” And friends, it takes tim e for them to become accustomed to sp irit life as it is, but still they grow Some have to return again and again to learn lessons from yon on earth

•he says. We have found it very difficult to use our instra-1 died but only gone one step higher in the ladder of life. 1 meat this afternoon. We can not tell you why. So we have ■ closed her eyes and taken fall control of her, bat we have not entered in and taken the possession that a spirit does when von call it obsession. When spirits take possession that way Ibey enter the body the same as yonr spirit is in yonr body, and for the time being they are living in your house iu full possession ot it, and they are acting of their own will, the same as I am acting ont my will through this instrument, although this is not obaession, bnt only control in this case. I am only controlling this organism, but did I desire to obsess 1 would enter into and psychologize this instrument, and we would be one and the same for the time being. She would say that •he was not herself, but someone else. Obsession is where a spirit is determined to return to earth life and live out a cer­tain time in a borrowed body or house. Obsession is one of the hardest of conditions for a mortal to be placed in. Yon have several esses of obsession to-day in yonr city. I have met them as I walked with this instrument through the streets.Obsession means fall possession, while control simply through hypnotic power puts the medium to sleep, and uses the vocal organa 1 could use my instrument as I pleased, and make her walk through the street. I merely stand by the side of her and hypnotize or psychologize her, bnt if I should take fall possession of her she would put on pants, coat, and vest, and declare she was not a woman. Obsession is taking full possession of the body and using it as you will.

M E S S A C E SGeo. R. Hlppa.

Friends, I desire to speak just a few minutes whilst this woman is in this condition. I desire to tell you what I did. I am a spirit. I have lived many years on earth. When I entered spirit life I felt I had not done what 1 should, and so desired to return.' I did return, and took possession o f another per­son's body, and I lived in it for three years, and in that time tried to fulfill my wishes, and when I left that man I left him n a strange place where he knew no one and could not rea­

lize the conditions he was placed in, but I had fulfilled my mission and given to the one I desired to help. And friends, when the spirit takes possession o f an instrument or body, they take it for some purpose, and I would advise every one o f you to be careful, earnest, and thoughtful always, and when you feel some influence you can not understand, you had better bring forward a very strong will-power so that the spirit may not take possession o f you. I am sorry now that I did this although at the time I thought it was necessary, but had I known o f all the circumstances which came from this act I should have reconsidered. I come here this afternoon to say that each one o f you must be very very careful, and when you begin to investigate Spiritualism see to it that you are honest and truthful to self, and see to it that you live hon est and truthful lives, thereby draw to yourself honest and truthful spirits. My name is George R. Hipps, and I come from Delaware, O. I took possession of a man by the name of Dr. R. Menken. I held that man for three years, and at one time his family thought him insane and thought o f putting him in the insane asylum. But he was not insane; it was who had him in possession. Bnt i f I had it to do over again, I would not take possession in that way, bnt rather as I am using the instrument at this time.

Samuel Hooper. ,Good afternoon, friends. I am glad to find m yself here,

and to be able to speak a few words to yon, and also hope that I may be able to reach m y loved ones by com ing here, passed ont o f th is life about twenty years ago in a distant city, Omaha, State o f Nebraska. M y dear ones do not under­stand when or where I passed away, as I had le ft m y hom e and was the cause o f great sorrow to them , but I com e th is afternoon brin gin g m y spirit love to them , and w ould have them know I am on the sp irit side o f life. I have been here tw enty years, I think. I can not tell exactly, b u t I know passed ont suddenly am ong strangers. Carry m y love to those who know and love me, and tell them I have endeavored earnestly to reach them before, but th is is the first oppor­tun ity I have had o f sending m y love to them.

dtsire my wife and child to know that 1 am (aiding them every day. I want them to know that 1 will have conditions better very soon, for 1 see the way and know there will be change for them in the near future, when they both will be more happy. They will receive the message.

Jonathan Lyons.Good afternoon friends. 1 desire to speak a few words this

afternoon, and I mast say that this puts me in mind of Methodist camp meeting, or a Methodist conference-meeting. Seeing so many here listening to the testimony of others brings me back to the old way, for I was a Methodist, and of all the meetings the Methodists had, the conference-meeting was the one 1 enjoyed the most. Whilst I stand before yon to-day and look around, I see many bright featnrea here, 1 see many bright spirits here, I see many hungry bcarted mortals here, and 1 would aay be exceedingly glad because of the great grand age *n which you live. Oh, if you could only understand as I do the great work that is going on, not only upon the earth plane but also in the spirit realm. Ob, bow I do rejoice in spirit with you, and whilst I come this afternoon and talk in this way, 1 would aay that 1 was a Methodist, and am not sorry, for 1 did learn whilst in the body that the power of the spirit was oflimes with me, for I was what they call a shouting Methodist, and I woald feel the power of the spirit come over me and I would aay,“Glory to God,"and meant it, and I say this afternoon “Glory to God," and mean it. I mean glory for the great light that has come over me ; I mean glory for the liberation of spirits, and glory because I know there is noth ing but love in that great Father of all. But I want yon to known that 1 do not understand God as I did when I lived among you, and to-day I will say that the Father is with me and 1 am with him, and am happy. I belong to Cincinnati.

Silver Obain Recitation.TH E TRU E AND TH E FALSE,

soul! what is the sweetest and best of all

Katherine Stivers.I am glad to be here friends, and hope I will not intrade. I

have come a great distance in spirit, but am not a stranger in yonr city, as I have loved ones here whom I am with part of the tim e; I also have loved ones in the East, and try to divide my time between them. I am glad that my loved ones here understands this great grand truth. I am rejoiced that she is endeavoring every day to live up to the height o f this truth. I am glad that 1 knew a little about it, because when I entered the spirit world I was not so much surprised as some o f my loved ones who have come to me since I have passed over. I want you to know that you are doing all right, and 1 want you to keep on, and the promises.that have been given will be ful­filled. There are certain conditions around you that you do not understand, but which muat soon pass away. Give my love to yonr father and husband, and tell them I am in the home every day, and in the near future I will manifest in such a way that she will know that I am there. I am from Phila delphia.

riary F u tigu e .T h e n ext sp irit is a lady. I am so glad to be enabled to

com e here th is afternoon, as I desire to send m y sp irit love to m y husband and children. Ob, how grand and beantifnl it is that we can com e back and voice our love to those w ho still linger in the earth life. I rejoice in the spirit, for I kn o w m y loved ones are beginn in g to understand a little b it o f the sp irit truth and feel to-day that I live. T h ey w ere taught that I live bnt afar off, but they know to day that I live, and I desire to send m y love to them . I want yon to send m y love to m y bnsband, daughters, and tw o sons, and aay that th eir m other, M ary F u tigu e lives. T h ey live at Canal Dover.

Frank Conroy.Chairman and friends, I, too, am glad to add m y testim ony.

I am glad that I can return to earth life and I feel a desire that m y loved ones m ay know that I can return. I desire to send love to m y daughter. I w ant her to know that her father is near h e r ; I want her to know that I am alw ays in­terested in all that she does, and that I feel that w h ich she desires so m uch— I feel that she w ill be enabled in the near future to go forth and warble out the sw eet notes of son gs o f love to those w ho w ill listen, and she w ill be welcom e wher­ever she m ay go. I desire to send love to all friends and rela­tives. Som e o f m y friends live in W h eelin g; m y daughter,in W ashington. I lived near W heeling, W . Va. g

Dr. Schultz.I am here th is afternoon to answer a desire from the heart

o f a loved one who is in th is audience. F ear not, but know that I am alw ays near you. I f at any tim e I go a little d is­tance, at it were, in the sp irit realm , and yon cast yonr thought after me, I am im m ediately at your side. 1 w ill guide and direct you through all the m any conditions w hich yon have to pass through in this earth life. I w ant you to know that I could not i f I w ould leave yon, for that love w hich bonnd us together here binds m e to you still. W henever you sit alone, know that I come there, and I am w ith yon although you have oftimea felt so sorry and m y heart felt i t w ould take npon it yonr sorrow, y et I have tried to carry the sorrow out and away from your heart.

Henry D. Powers.I always was positive, and always expect to be. I want t o 1

take possession w hilst I talk, and intend to do it. I am glad to be here to-day. I belong to the C ity o f Nashville, and i was one o f those who would not listen. I did not believe in Spiritualism , and I would not listen bnt did all I could to silence those who talked with me on the subject. It was my fate to be carried away suddenly, and I was suprised to find that I had made a great mistake, for when I conld have learned I would not, and so as I return to-day to ta lk to yon I would say i f there is one here who doubts the assertion I now make I w ould advise him to investigate and find out for him self and not pooh pooh any m atter h e does not nn derstand, for I th o u g h ts was very wise and knew it all, but when I entered spirit life I found I knew nothing. I came here th is afternoon to talk a little w hile w ith yon, and to send a love m essage to m y friends in Florida, at a place called Da- tona. I want them to know that I live, and I want m y w ife to know I understand all that is transpiring on earth, and am satisfied w ith the change she has made since I left the body.I want m y son to know I am not satisfied w ith the change he had made. I take th is opportunity because he w ill not attend a seance b u t w ill read your paper. I can not talk too earn­estly upon th is subject, for I feel it is necessary for each and every one o f you to prepare far th is h igh er life. I know that I made th is m istake, 1 had the opportunity and I did not, and to-day I have to come and go to learn the lessons I should have learned before 1 can attain the h igh er know ledge in the spirit life. I f I have the opportunity to re enter m y body for ten years, I would gain all the know ledge o f sp irit life I pos sibly could.

A. W ilson.M y age is forty-five years, and I was killed by the railway

near Cincinnati. I am from W inton Place, Ohio. I am here this afternoon to brin g m y sp irit love to m any. I was taken away suddenly b y accident, but I find I still have interest in the earth plane. I was killed by the railway, and still have this terrible feeling in the left arm. (He is a heavy set man with b lu ish grey eyes).

Charles Bush.I am glad to be here th is afternoon. I wish to give my

love to the loved ones w ho cared for me. I want m y mother to know I am w ith her every d a y ; I want her to know I am happy and contented. I have w ith me tw o others that belong to our fam ily and who]passed out before me. I want m other still to g o o n ; I want her to persevere, and by-and-bye the desire o f her heart shall be granted her. I belong here.

All Mortal Acts Continue in Spirit*It seems as though the sp irit o f war still hovers over the

battlefield o f Chickatnauga, for the laborers on the work* som e 125 in number, have organized a m ilitary company E very Sunday and days when work is not in progress they form into line, and, under the command o f an old negro, who served in the war, march and countermarch in the m ost ap­proved m ilitary style.

T h e negroes live in a camp about a m ile east o f Battlefield Station. Strange to say, the overseers have no trouble in keeping them in camp after dark. In fact, it is difficult to get one o f them to go away from the camp after the shades o f night have fallen.

T h eir disinclination to go away is due solely to supersti­tion. M any negroes claim they can hear the mu filed tread o f armed hosts every night, and not a few ca nbe found who w ill m ake solemn oath that they have on several occasions seen phantom armies drawn up in lines o f battle advancing towards each other. When the lines meet they disappear in m ist only to reappear and rehearse the same performance.— Chattanooga Times.

Editorial.

T H E P R O G R E S S IV E L Y C E U M .From the present number during the current year we shall

hare a special department devoted to the interests of the Ly* ceum work. Every number will contain the program for a

complete session. We are certain that this feature .will be ap­preciated by societies and lyceums. The songs selected will be such as may be sung to familiar tunes, and the lesson em­inently suggestive to call forth thought under the manage­ment of conductors and leaders. This program is not only valuable to lyceums, but to societies holding conference meet­ings, and to circles organized on the basis recommended pre­viously in our columns, it will prove of equal service.

A N O T H E R A T T A C K ON T H E P U B L IC SC H O O LS.In a pastoral letter read in all the Roman Catholic Church­

es in Illinois, Sunday, September xi, 1S92, P. A. Fenhan, Arch­bishop of Chicago, says : “In building, maintaining, and per­fecting oar Catholic schools, we are doing the most beneficent work American citizens can do.” • • • “ When we consid­er what we have done and are doing to educate our Catholic children while we also contribute to the support of public schools, it seems inexplicable to ns that the Legislature of Illinois should have enacted what is known as the Edwards Law, an insidious and nnjost law, which, under pretext of zeal for popular edneation is really a violation o f one most sacred rights as men and citizens.” The Edwards Law here referred to is nearly identical with the Bennett Law of Wis­consin, repealed some time ago, which provides that “every child from seven to fourteen years o f age shall atte* d some public or private day school for a period o f not less than twelve weeks in each year,” and that “no school shall be re­garded as a school under this act unless there shall be tanght therein reading, writing, arithmetic, and United States histo­ry in the English language.” Archbishop Fenhan’s signature to this pastoral letter is accompanied by the signatures of the Bishops of Peoria, Alton, and Belleville, who all denounce the Edwards Law as a violation of their constitutional rights and the rights of all Catholics, and call upon v o t e r s to nse, as the letter states, “ all right and honorable means to have it repealed.”

This action o f the Illinois prelates is o f national import­ance and shows very plainly the plan o f attack, openly avow­ed, upon our public school system. As fast as the Roman power accumulates, its force is to be expended in destroying one of the basic institutions of onr country. It will be sim­ply a question of majorities. The ballot is to be the weapon, and the charge of a celibate priesthood to Roman Catholic parents to bring into the world all the children they can, con­stitute the means wherewith to bring it about Children make voters, to does onr accnrsed system o f immigration. We can and should rectify the latter evil; the former there is no remedy for, the only recourse being a watchfulness on the part of liberty-lovers to the end that the encroachments of this treason shall not always blind the people to its true import. We have had occasion to say it before and we now repeat that every time a parochial school is built an added wedge is thrnst between the people and their public schools.

The growing interest and study of psyebometry is indica­tive of its supreme importance in the revealment o f new truths in science, and the eradication o f false systems in the reformation and reclamation o f the criminal classes. Careful observers o f psychic forces are fast coming to the conclusion that crime, insanity, drunkenness, etc, are not only diseases — the eradication o f which rests upon a correct diagnosis— but that that diagnosis is to be fonnd in the psychological forces operating upon the mind. A fully developed psychom­eter entering a room where a murder baa been committed will sense every act o f the tragedy, but knowing something about the power manifested, be or she will escape unharmed whereas an ignorant though sensitive person coming under the same influence may be impelled to commit another mur der. It is evident that a knowledge o f what constitutes this enslavement is the only safeguard against it. How often it is that criminals aver that although guilty o f the charge placed against them, they do not know how they came to do the wrong! This is what constitutes the disease o f crime Prisons, dungeons, and gibbets are a standing monument to the disgrace of humanity. When the State granta diplomat to psychometers as well as to lawyers, and one has as free ac­cess to the courts as the other, the mitigation of crime will ensne, because the secret influences which tend to promote it will be brought to light. The greatest evil lies in association. The first step should be taken by prohibiting successive con­victs from occupying the same cells or apartments in prison. Disassociate as much as possible the influence of one criminal upon another. Frequent change o f occupation and environ­ment will do more towards effecting a reformation than all the methods now in use. And above all be should be taught to know something above himself.

Conditions Concerning Mesmeric Susceptibility!

Only the student of the philosophy is benefited by Spiritualism, not the test hunter. Such is the law.

The conditions of mesmeric controls are precisely those favorable to mediumship. A passivity of mind is essenFal, and this may be the result of a happy, satisfied temperament, or it may be the reaction of grief, joy, or other exhausting emotions. Over-exertion is detrimental unless carried to a degree of prostration, where it often spontaneously brings on | P E R F E C T an over-sensitive state. Over-feeding or indulgence in intox­icating liquors or stimulants is also opposed to this state.

N e w s j r o m C o r r e s p o n d e n t sC h ic a g o . III.

Io my orthodox dmjn I often beard it quoted -th a t I al j jf jt c t e e to believe it true, that a certain tropical place waa pg^eiwtth good reaolotions. It I lia be true 1 am sure the ®aov 1 bare made during the paat two months to contribute tiusc little account o f tbe work accomplishes! in our society a oat have done much to provide comfortable traveling for ioo< ot ita uoiorlunate visitants. H o a t u r we are at work. We began early m September, again selecting Washington Hall as our place o f m eeting, with Mrs Cora {.. V. Richmond for the 17th year, aa the chosen and beloved instrum ent to break unto as the bread o f life.

We commenced o ar services under very auspicious condi­tions. with good audiences, who, after a fast o f two montha had again become hungry and eager for their accustomed teas la. Sunday by Sunday these have been spread before ns with an unsparing hand. Lectures so eloquent and wonder­ful, poems so tender and sublime, that ot them it haa been beautifully said : ‘"They fall as the loftiest melody from a silken harp that has been perfectly attuned to every vibration «/ the spirit.'* Our hearts have been touched, our souls gone sot to praise and wonder, and we have been constrained to say: W ho are we, that unto us should be continued such great and holy privileges ?

To attem pt a synopsis here o f these discourses would be al- 00st sacrilege, since at the best we could only give the setting without the gem, but in them the grand vision o f immortality, the light and life of the higher and holier truth# o f the sublime philoaophy o f Spiritualism is ever borne onward, and up­ward, until often from the m ount o f transfiguration in rap­ture we echo the sentim ents o f the disciples o f old, "O b, that this could be our resting place ?’*

But not long are we perm itted to lin ger around these transcendent heights, for by the teachings ot the guides them ­selves w e a ie brought again to practical duties o f au earthly pilgrimage, and betake fresh courage as we realize that every trial bravely m et and every difficulty bravely overcome are but the many steps nearer to those “ m ansions not made with bands.'*

As is w ell know n in our Sunday services we have no phe­nomena, but th is is provided for. Every Thursday night we have the "Band o f Harmony,** presided over by Ouioa, the ever faithful and well-known control o f our W ater L ily, Mrs. Richmond.

These m eetings have been w onderfully successful, and are always crowded to tneir utm ost capacity. Every medium of whatever phase present is invited to participate in the exercises o f m e evening, and after we have wonderful dem ­onstrations o f spirit power, m ore especially as relating to the gilt of tongues— here the ancient E gyptian often speaks of tne pyramids; grand spirits from the Orient bring their words of cneer and wisdom ; Indian m aidens come witn their greet­ings and messages o f love. N o matter, grand or sim ple, all are welcome, and their m essages are alike lovingly interpreted by the presiding coutroL

Nor do we forget the children. O ar Sunday-school is q u i t e a feature in our work, and here again “ O aiua” is our good genius. T h e children love her, and each Sunday vie with each other in brin ging flowers for "O uina's garden in the spirit world." T h ese arc words o f wisdom, culled daring the week, and o f which they (especially the sm aller children) gather a goodly support. N ot to the little ones alone is this privilege confined, lor we, the children o f larger growth, love to cluster around her as she conducts the class through its subject for the day, and it is here, perhaps, we gather some o f the most precious o f onr gem s. T h e subjects selected, as a rule, bear upon the routine o f every-day life, and often are onr hearts cheered and encouraged by these loving little talks. To those who know her best Onina is a household name, the one sought, and ever ready to respond to the needs o f her people, rejoicing w ith those who are glad, throw ing the halo of resignation and com fort aronnd those who monrn.

Recently, as a society, we were called to resign to the dust all that was m ortal o f one o f onr oldest members, Mr. I. AogelL B at as we stood by the open casket and realized that earth’s struggles and labor was over, that a life well spent had been crowned w ith the glory o f ascension, we, too, could re­joice that the sh eaf so fo lly ripened had been safely gathered into the garner.

Concerning the purchase o f Ortega Rancho, the committee publishes a circular in The Sum m erland .from which we extract tee follow ing:

The Com m ittee, having clearly dem onstrated that the only true way to advance the cause o f Spiritualism is by doing so upon a substantial material foundation, and that it is possible to raise in a sin gle day an amount much m ore than is neces­sary to secure the O rtega Rancho and build the proposed edu­cational institutions ; that both the spiritual and material in­terests o f hum anity w ill he benefited thereby, and as there is no question in our m inds but that th e placing o f the cause upon a material foundation w ill m ark a new era in its history, it therefore seem s m eet and righ t that some particular day should mark this change. In looking over the ground for a proper date the com m ittee has chosen December 25, 1S92, as the day in w hich to inaugurate the movement, and as th is day occurs this year on Snnday it w ill be a convenient day to meet

This day is not selected because o f any association there­with o f the Christian religion, b a t as being an occasion when mankind from tim e immemorial have interchanged love and good-will, and feel more at peace w ith the world, and it is therefore, from custom, a tim e when a deed o f love should he performed. It is a proper day for the additional reason that Spiritualism is fast taking the place o f the Christian religion, and i f we take away their religion, we m ight also take away the day upon w hich a lltb e m ythical saviors of the world were born and make it the birth o f a new organic m ovem ent

The Committee o f Citizens o f Snmmertand therefore re­commend and urgently request that all spiritualistic societies throughout the world hold a special m eeting on Snnday, De­cember 25 1892, and hold a special service in the behalf and interests ot th is new movement, and that all Spiritualists contribute on that occasion som ething towards the necessary fond to accom plish the purpose— those who can to subscribe for shares (which can be exchanged for property at par) and those who are nnahle to buy shares to contribute one dollar. There is time before that date for each to lay aside something for the occasion. A ll moneys should he sent as directed in the circulars.

Sincerely trusting that all Spiritualists w ill have such in­terest in the cause as w ill move them to respond to this appeal for it. W e are, fraternally,

We have never bad the difference between Spiritism and Spiritualism ao clearly defined to us as during the past year. We have always heard it said that they who believe in the re­turn o f spirits to commune with mortals constituted Spirit- nalists, and, judgin g from the manners, customs, and habits of life o f myriads styling themselves Spiritualists, we should •ay this is ju st about the size o f their Spiritualism, and un­der sneb ctrcumsnatcea ia it any wonder that we, as a sect, are a laughingstock to the community o f thinkidg people at large? W hat m ore pitiable sight to the aoulfuf man or woman than to see people to whose homes Spiritualism has come as an angel o f light, recognizing the possibilities o f a development o f medial powers though several members o f that home that would insure abundant blessing and jo y un­speakable to the entire household, wholly dead to any de­sire to Rain a knowledge concerning advanced thought or the consideration o f topics leading up towards an understanding of the laws governing mediumahip.

In my lim ited investigation o f the philosophy o f Spirit­ualism I must ssy that my observations teach me that the average Spiritualist is perfectly happy in the presumption that his grandmother or aunt is present, not because o f any sensing on his part, or because be has studied the law through which such an advent ia possible, but because o f the inevitable "Y es,” comes from a medium with closed eyes, whose controls feel it to be imperative to reply to the inevit­able question, "Is it for me ?" Just as long as our people long lor ouly this (which ia good as far aa it goes) just so long will a class o f spirits seek out and control a class o f medi­ums to feed such souls on barrenness. People satisfied with such aa this, not only do not grow themselves, but are bin dtaoces to the cause o f Spiritualism from the fact that they in their demands, call for this class o f medimnship, and hence are accountable In a large measure for the lack o f growth in auch instruments.

Brooklyn, V Y.I heartily wiah that it were possible for me to give a fair

synopaia of the remarks male ai the last meeting or the con­ference upon the lulject which was under consideration, viz : “If *°» do spirit demonstration and spiritual philoso­phy lead to superior religion f" As 1 cannot do justice to the several speakers, I will only refer to what, as it appears to me, mutt be the conclusion to which every candid mind must have reached, viz .that the evidences are abundant and overwhelming that a light from the »piritual realm has dawned upou Ihis generation, which ia fast dispelling the gloom of all the past ages, and which ia lifting every honest and earnest seeker after the truth into a broader and higher conception of the grandeur and superiority of the teachings of disincarnate over incarnate minds.

1 send herewith the remarks made by Mrs. Lucy J. Weiler upon the subject under consideration (which will appear Inter.— E d )

Such testimony may lead tome honest, yet misguided souls to test aud know for themselves the transcendent beauty and superiority o f a religion based upon absolute knowledge of the hereafter, imparted to them by the deoizen^of the spirit world, who were once their trusted companions in earth life. W hen contrasted with all the human notions, opinions, and conceptions which have so long prevailed and hindered the true progress o f humanity. S. S. G., Scc'y.

low me to congratulate you on your excellent paper, the L ig h t o f T r u t h , while at the same time we were very much attached to %'T h e B etter Hay;'* but when a paper like the former steps in its place, we feel satisfied with the exchange. I am only voicing the thoughts o f tbe many who take it. We feel safe in saying, that you w ill make a success o f yonr undertaking, inasmuch as you have established a free circle room, in which the many spirit friends can manifest and let the many who have not an opportunity to visit a me­dium, have tbe grand privilege o f hearing from the dear ones who have passed on into the silent land. Allow me to con­gratulate yon in securing such a grand and good medium as yon have for yonr free circle room. 1 have known Mrs. A. E. K ibby for many years, and know her to be one that is strictly honest and upright in every particular. And I know many hearts w ill be made glad, through her, in yonr free circle room. I say this o f her, feeling it was due her, and to let the many that read yonr paper know that the medium o f your free circle can be relied upon. It w ill also be the means o f adding hundreds to your subscription list that you would not have got under any other circumstances.

L et me bespeak for you a grand success in this undertak­ing. L et all who w ill take an interest in this m atter; let every subscriber get some friend to take it, and see how glad you w ill m ake the brother feel, besides the good yon can do.

I am very much interested in your paper, and thought per­haps yonr readers would be interested in an experience o f a good Baptist brother, M. H Maple. He does not claim to be a Spiritualist, yet be has bad proof enough it seems to me to convince any man that Spiritualism is true.

Somewhere in the early sixties, during tbe latter part o f the war, this happened: Mr. Maple bad two brothers in tbe army. He had ju st received a letter from his brothers stating there was no signs o f a battle soon. Mr. Maple went to bed a short time alter reading the letter. He had hardly laid down when his youngest brother appeared to him, and told him that he was shot, then in a very short time his elder brother came and told him that he was also shot, and pointed to a wound in b is head, from which the blood appeared to spurt for several feet. Then the scene o f the battle came be fore Mr. Maple, and he saw bis brothers both shot. Tbe youngest first, then the elder brother was sbot in tbe fore­head, and tbe blood spurted out as before. Then the man who it seemed to Mr. Maple bad shot his brothers came turn bling out o f tbe tree where be bad been picking o ff tbe men almost beneath him, and as he fell he went w hirling through the air, gun and all, and fell dead against the brothers he had slain. Then the picture all left, and Mr. Maple declares that he was not asleep at all, that he knew he saw his brothers killed, and when he afterward heard all about i t ; it cor­responded with his dream or vission, or whatever it was.

Mr. Maple was a man that was respected by all, and no one wonld question his word on other things. I have heard him tell the story several times. S. F . Da v is .

Jennie Hagan-Jackson is our speaker for the present, and November 15th she tendered W. J. Colville, who is minister­ing to the Second Society here, a reception and extended a very cordial and general invitation to both societies. The pleasant residence o f Mr. and Mrs. Jackson was tested to its utmost, while they listened to the inspired words o f these prominent workers, who vied with each other in entertain ing their friends with their best thought, dosing the evening with a dual poem from the subjects given them, "The Cbil dren” and "Peace on Earth,” alternately giving each a verse. ’Tis needless to say that i f their hearers, one and all, could follow out the precepts so beautifully set forth tbeiin, that we, "the children,” should indeed have "peace on earth." But we can only struggle on asking for the "ligh t o f truth" to guide us.

Beatrice, Neb.Beatrice is a live little city with a population o f 15,000, but

very orthodox in character. Oat o f twenty Church organize tions there is only one liberal society: the Unitarians, and they are barely able to exist. A few Spiritualists are here about three or four families, but they are stalwarts and have tbe staying qualities'of the true pioneer. This little band with a goodly number o f others that had lost their bearings in the mist o f doubt and dogmatism, were recently made to rejoice at the shining o f the true light. It was this wise : 1 few weeks ago that peerless worker, Mrs. Maud Lord Drake came in our midst. The Unitarians kindly opened their beau­tiful church to her. At every public meeting tbe house was filled to oveiflowing. Her lectures were grand in style, pure in spirit, and forcible in character. Her tests were remark­able and very convincing; her private work was o f tbe most satisfying kind— so helpful and light was given for darkness, burdens were lifted, ana lives were made stronger by coming in contact with her noble self. Many who heard her learned that the beautiful truths she uttered were food for their hun­gry souls. The hundreds o f questions that are asked con­cerning her work shows that tne seed was good and that it fell on fruitful ground, liven some o f the most confirmed skeptics have said "There must be something in it."

A grand work haa been done. I f Mrs. Drake ever comes this way again, she will be welcomed by hundreds instead of a few. We oil wiah her success and prosperity to the cause everywhere. Au b n W. Connktt .

A 8PINSTE1FS CONFESSION.*W oaU 1 B « n j r Uughcd • lovely youag Udy o f twenty*

i n , JepeaJeat on her o v i U c o b c ee teacher for support, “ h e ll, bo. When I consider the lot of my married friends 1 am thankful for common sense enough to remain single. I thoroughly enjoy my free, unfettered life. T o be sure, 1 go to my work in the school room each day, but my married friends have household cares as imperative as mine, with far greater chances o f failing to give satisfaction. 1 have no hus­band to find fault with the coffee or the state o f my wardrobe* no children to worry my peaceful hours, no servants to cater to. 1 have not to plan for three times 365 meals each year, and no hungry family comes in to devour in one brief hour the results o f my hard m orning's toil in the kitchen.

“ No stern tyrant o f a husband deals out with grudging hand small bank bills to supply my needs and those of his children. If I sm engulfed in a whirlpool o f extravagance* and purchase s lovely gown, a pair of delectable evening boots, or a morsel o f a French bonnet, I can endure the re* proaches of my own conscience with some equanimity, but the scowls o f an angry spouse would wither my very soul

Then the heated summer vacation comes, there is a whole continent at my disposal, and according as I have been eco­nomical or luxurious I may choose my summer outing.

“ Old age? Yes, it may come to me. It will come to my married friends, and may find them widows with a half dozen children to work for. But i f the worst comes, and I can not work or find a snag corner in an old lady's home, I fancy I could win some gray-haired lover who would offer me a home. There are generally some around, you know ?" And the cold- hearted little beauty whisked o ff around the corner, leaving her married friend to reflect that perhaps all the advantages were not with the matrimonial state, as she bad been taught to believe. There is nothing like being satisfied with one's lo t ; but it does not follow that every husband is a stern ty­rant, and the very g irl who finds so many reasons and apolo­gies for not being married m ust admit that there are times when a good man is handy to have about the house.— Ger mantown Telegraph.___________________

It does not converk peopJe who are not ready to listen. Take your spare hurt a bit then. The great gobbler that goes about, as one of j change and throw a few progressive tracts or newspapers in my little-boy friends expresses it, “ puckering him self up at your neighbor’s way ; they w ill read them “ on the sly" wheneverybody and wearing a great, b ig red button-bole boquet" they would not go to meetings.

“NOTHINGTO WEAR!”How discouraging it is to the masculine portion o f the

home establishment, who, from hereditary instincts, feel re­sponsible as to fam ishing the necessary money to keep up the wardrobes o f the ladies o f the bouse, to al way a hear, when an invitation is received, the doleful ejaculation : “ Ob, dear!I should iike to go but I 'v e nothing to wear. Are you sure you have not? Do you know the wonderful effects which may be gotten'by tbe exercise o f ingenuity and taste, with little necessaries such as lace, flowers, ribbons, etc., on old dresses? A vivacious, sympathetic, happy face, a bunch o f fresh flowers, a bit o f pretty lace, and a body thoroughly cared for, emanating a healthy, sweet magnetism w ill carry a no( new dress through a reception or even a Thanksgiving dinner unnoticed. If you discredit my opinion here is a proof o f what I say from higher authority:

“ The first season that the Jersey L ily spent in London found her the possessor o f one evening gown, and that a very simple black. Immediately after her picture appeared she be­came the rage, and duchesses themselves did not hesitate to stand on chairs to get s glimpse o f her ss she passed. Every­where she wore the black gown. One night it was turned in •o that her beautiful throat showed; another night it was drawn np close to her neck and s bunch of white lilies against i t brought ont its blackness and ber fairness. It was mended, i t area pressed, bnt at reception or ball all that season the

W ishing you tbe greatest good luck, and that you will call again at the Club, I am yours cordiaUy, Hi*.

FROM THE AUTHOR OP A SEW LBSSOX-UOOK FOR THE USE OFLYCHl'MS.

Dear E d ito r: Feeling for a long time that Spiritualists were sadly neglecting their golden opportunities, as well as their evident duties toward their children, I had watched with great interest every effort put forth on that lin e ; bnt al­ways came the feeling that the foundation was lackin g; that everyone was trying to educate from the top downward where it should be just the reverse.

As I was meditating upon this matter a voice from the spiritual realm made itself felt, and left an impression o f which I could not rid m yself; it was this : W aste no more time dreaming about what should be, but do y ourself that which needs doing. I obeyed, according to my ability, and now offer “ Easy Lessons iu Spiritual Science" as a result. I hope it is a good beginning. I can now furnish the books at ten cents a copy or one dollar a dozen. I was glad when I read th t call from California that my offering was so near ready.

Your greeting had the right ring. Surely ours Is the one aim, and we should clasp hands to encourage and strengthen.

Lovingly, Myra F . F a in s ,Aj» Main Street, Palnsville, O.(in another column will be found a review o f this excellent

book. It will be e useful helper. Order et once.— Ei» |

"The end justifies the means** is an old Jesuit maxim. Now the question arises, how can the Roman Catholic, with ooe- cight or one-tenth o f the popnlation effect their purpose to subvert this government ? It is clear that in this popular government o f the people that they must do it through poll* ocml channels. I f they announce themselves “ a Catholic party** they would be promptly met by ready Protestant annihilation, la the Eastern States it was counselled and encoursged by pcomiuenl Catholics, bat wisely deferred at the advice o f a wily old Romanist Cardinal, who claimed traly that it would be premature. He was right. Then it was advised to get into the dominant political parties and secure as many o f the of­fices to the Church as possible. A pretended loyalty to party was exhorted to be feigned. It was enjoined upon their Catholic communion to try and get nominated to likely offices on the tickets o f the dominant parties. In securing s nomia stioa for s Catholic they are to invariably p at only one of their Charch forward for any one office, ao aa not to divide the Catholic vote in the primary. H aving secured the nomina­tion for their Catholic man on one ticket they rest easy, bur, of coarse, they do not object to taking for one o f their kind a nomination for the same office on the opposing ticket, so aa "to catch the coon com ing and goin g." The plan o f inducing the Protestants to pat several men forward for the same o f­fice before the primaries, and by a divided Protestant vote securing the nomination o f the Catholic, is a keen and very shrewd political stratagem o f the Catholica, and almost always wins. T h ey have played th is for yeara on the honest and unsuspecting Protestants. H aving nominated their man by this artfnl and keen political stroke, they are en joined upon by the bishop, priest, and "sisters'* to unitedly go for that man, and "w aste none o f their ammunition" on the Protestant candidate. A ll loyalty to party is forgotten. It is Catholic against Protestant at the polls, and the Protestant candidate is sore to be short o f votes that year. T h e Catholic candidate for Secretary o f State, Daniel J. Ryan, on the R e­publican ticket, was elected by a great majority, w hile all of the rest o f his ticket was buried under a snow bank. The Democratic candidate lost every Catholic vote.

That is politics indeed. L e t Protestants no longer believe there is no Catholic party. It is here and has been for years. Like the pesky flea, it is more often felt than seen. W hat is the remedy ? Bism arck's medicine would care, i f applied.— Circular.

To

STAND BY THE FLAGSome one has said that the A . P. A.*s are m aking a deal o f

loss about nothing, that we are borrowing trouble, and ao on. I would like to say that this is not oar aim. W e have organ­ized to prevent trouble, we believe in the old adage, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound o f enre," and we are on hand with the prevention. I f there is too much opposition for it to take effect, we are standing in solid ranks ready and able to sdminister the cure. W e take exception to no man’s re­ligion so long as he confines it to the saving o f souls, but when the Catholics or any other denominations undertake to mix their religion w ith the affairs o f State, we say hands off, and mean jn st what we say. W e respect every man’s rights, but we bow only to God and the flag o f onr country. The little school-house on the hill-top with the stars and stripes floatiog over it is far dearer to the heart o f a true American than the frowning walls o f a Catholic convent, where oft- times vice runs rampant, where female purity is debased and modesty is a lost art.

"Eternal vigilance is the price o f liberty," and we value onr liberty too highly to allow Pope Leo or any other man to dic­tate to ns how we shall worship, or what religious denomina­tion shall rule ns. Y es, the Catholics are all onr friends at present, it stands them in hand to be onr friends, but i f the time ever comes for them to show their hand we find their friendship about as genuine as the kiss o f Judas. F or a few years the people o f the United States have been watching with interest the attitude o f England and Germany toward each other, speculating on the prospects o f war, and on the conse­quences, while they are w alking over a smouldering volcano it home that ia gathering force to explode. L et us not be so taken np with the dashing o f the waves on the far aide o f the Atlantic that we shall fail to hear the moaning within the har­bor bar.— West Liberty Enterprise.

eleven ih leaaoaV!- What is ihe one purpose of csuteace here ?A. To axfold the individual spirit and make ihe moat of

all the possibilities that are latent within it.Can any person do that work for another?

A- No. Every one must do this for himself.U Some pcop e make little exertion in this direction,

claiming that they want to be educated by the spirits, la this right ?

A. By no means. They forget that spirits are but human beings in another condition o f life, and as we have aatd be fore, may not be any wiser than they are. They should grow w i t h the spirits but not be u a n o k h s u n , waiting to be u i t k u ,

or to have others do for them what they can do for themselves. Q. What lesson do wc learn here ?

That all spiritual growth is through personal effort. Are there more than one kind o f mediums?Yes, there arc s f i r i t mediums and s p i r i t u a l medi-

The pastor o f one oT the prominent churches in a large city met the Rabbi o f a Jewish Church upon the market place of the city in which they chanced to live, and the following conversation took place between th em :

Rabbi— Good morning, Doctor.Pastor— Good morning, Rabbi.Rabbi— Doctor, I see by the papers that you preached

great sermon the other day against secret societies, and that yon gave them Hail Columbia, especially the Masons.

Pastor— Yea, the papers gave a good account o f my re marks. It la a shame, Rabbi, a curse, a crime, and a sin in the sight of God to allow these secret societies life. I am amazed that people calling themselves Christians should become members.

Rabbi—Are yon a member o f the Masonic order, Doctor Pastor— No, thank God, I am not a member.Rabbi—Are yon a member o f any secret order ?Pastor— No air, I am not..Rabbi—Vel, I vaa vifty yeara olt next veek. I preach by

my peoples twenty-vife yeara, but I never don’t preach by my peoples about aomedloga vat I don't know somedlng about.

If any one would like to know something about what they are trying to talk about, all they have to do ia to read "The Papacy and the Civil power,” written by R. W. Thompson, and published by Harper Broa.— Toledo American.

A .

A. u rn s .

A .Explain the difference ?Spirit mediums arc simply tools or instruments to be

nsed through the law o f psychology or hypnotism by any apir- or spiriia. A spiritual medium u spiritual by nature, and

thus a companion o f angels, working in harmony with the higher or angelic grade o f spirit life.

Q. Is this difference confined to mediums?A. No, we see this difference just aa plainly among pro­

fessed Spiritualists, who claim no mediumahip.Q. You speak o f angelic grades o f spirit life. What do

you mean ?A. That there are different grades or conditions in spirit

life. Disembodied spirits are not all augels. They have to grow into angclnood.

y . And wnat docs this again prove to us ?A. That all progress is tnrough growth, and nothing in

this world or the uext is attained witnout effort.Q. Wbat about these two worlds ?a . There is really but one world. Our manner o f speech

faulty through custom born o f ignorance. It is simply two conditions in which the one spirit manifests itself. Oue in this physical body sod the next in a more refined spiritual body.

Where the work is thoughtful and painstaking, honestly rougbt, with sincerity so evident, it is a disagreeable task to

offer a single word o f criticism. Y et we cau uot pass by a fault in principle. In the third lesson the idea o f re-incarnalion

broadly expressed, and to it a great number o f Spiritualists take exceptions. W hether true or not there is by no means uniformity o f opinion, and until there is a book presenting, as " were, a "consensus o f the competent," should silently pass

by. In fact the author is not consistent, for in the lesson we have quoted she says: "Disembodied spirits are not all angel9, they have to grow into angelhood. 9 9 • There really is one world. 9 * * It is simply two conditions in which the one spirit manifests itself. One in this physical body and the next in a more ripened spiritual body.” We accept this as truth, clear, aud crystalline, and being true, as the law o f spirit is advancement, having through this earthly life be come clothed as a spirit with a spiritual body, what is the necessity; how is it possible for it to "return again to finish or continue what it has left undone ?" It has changed _ from

terrestrial to a celestial being, and the hands ou the dial ol the yeara m ight as well be turned back, the eagle m ight as well return to the egg from which it sprang, as a spirit freed from the earthly body to the wornout cage o f the fiesh. This debatable doctrine it would be best to keep from a child’s book until established. In every other feature the little book

a wonder o f clear, concise, and crystalline thought, and a m ost valnble assistant in lycenm work.T h o m a s C a r l y l e 's M o r a l a n d R e l i g i o u s D e v e l o p m e n t

A stn d y; by Ewald Fluegel. From the German by Jessica Gilbert T yler. Portrait, muslin, 140 pages. New York, ML. H olbrook and Company.Carlyle is recognized as a great force in the thought o f his

age, and the object o f this book is to show how great he was in his religious and moral influence. Those who admire the great Scotchman w ill be interested and instructed by this book. The writer is a hero-worshiper, such as Carlyle sneered at, but it is human to admire the characters we delight in. Had Carlyle been less o f a sufferer from disease, be would have been less cynical and the people o f the world would not have been fools and rascals. Less dispepsia would have al lowed more love and charily, and finer feelings would have modified his rugged, often obscure, and affected style.S e x u a l P h y s i o l o g y a n d H y g i e n e ; o r t h e m y s t e r i e s o k

M a n . By R. T . Trail, M. D. Revised edition. New YorkM. L . Holbrook and Company.T his book, written in a clear and plain style, treats o f a

subject at once mysterious, and outside the pale o f ordinary conversation and yet o f vital importance. Dr. Trail occupies a field, usually pre-empted by quacks, and by his exhaustive and scientific treatment shows the difference between a clear, pure spirit and one sensually inclined. The book ia authorita live on the subject on which it treats and it9 hygiene invalu able. It ia o f the advanced school, and encourages keeping well, rather than curing after disease has taken its hold.M a r r i a g e a n d P a r e n t a g e , a n d t h e S a n i t a r y a n d P u v

cussed in an exhaustive and masterly manner. The most ad vanced views are expressed, and a vast fund o f valuable and unique imformation collected. Marriage and parentage are brought out o f the sensual and empirical and treated with calm consideration o f science.

compiled an indictment against Romish aggression in this book that is truly startling, and should be read and pondered by every thoughtful person. It ia a terrible arraignment and is baaed on facta. Roman Catholic authorities are cited exhaua lively and every charge made is substantiated. In hla preface to the latest edition the author says: "The unexpected favor with which this effort to meet a living question haa been met, and the fact that the fifteenth thousand o f the volume is in press, though little over a year haa elapsed since its publica­tion, ia a cause o f profound gratitude to the author." This indicates the interest awakened and bespeaks well for the in­trepidity o f a religionist who is a patriot aa well aa a preacher. There are fourteen chapters, embracing "The Jesuits and their Purpose.” “ The Pope the Enemy or Civil aud Religious Liberty," ‘Romanism Antagonistic to tbe Constitution and tbe Laws," “ The Purpose o f Romanism to Destroy our Pub­lic Schools," “ Shall Romanism Teach a Pagan Morality to American Youth?" “ The Romiah Confessional: What it ia, and What it Does."

— Aa inirresting and novel teance srill be given at I'nioa Society Hall on Wednesday evening, November 50th. It will be strictly devoted to teats and phenomena Among the me­diums participating are Mrs. Kibby, Mrs. Week*, and aa Mr. Archer, Mr. W illis, and Mr. Donovan. A d­mission 15 cents. Seance begins promptly at v o ’clock, when

doors will be closed fur the evening.— We nnderatand that the highly gifted and cultured

•pesker. Dr. P. L H. W illis will address the Cleveland people ISe Inst two Sundays in December. Dr. W lilt a is one o f the brightest gems in oar lecture field, and the Cleveland public may be congratulated for this rare treat. He appears before the Independent Lecture Coarse, of which C. Bird C ould is manager, and which holds its sessions at Army and Navy Hall, one of the finest m the city.

— The Ladies* Aid Society opened their meeting promptly at 1 y* p- m , Wednesday, November ibth, in G. A R. Hall, than a a to the plan o f auhatiluting. The basinets on hand was devising way* and means for tne sncccas o f the Thanks­giving sapper. Tickets were distributed to be sold, business ended and the social began. One spirit, that o f a young girl, made a great effort 10 reach some one present. She scciucd lost and wandered from one to another until she found the only one she knew, a lady visitor, and compelling Monteka (the Indian g aide o f Mrs. W olf) to kneel. She sobbed out her joy at being able to return upon the shoulder o f this friend she had found. She was a stranger in a strange place, was not recognized, and not until soothed and comforted was she enabled to give her name. Then she thanked the lady to whom she came for the only ray o f ligh t in regard to the wonder of spirit return she had ever received while upon earth life. It is very pathetic this coming back o f spirits with the desire to meet relatives in distant places who are ig­norant of tne thruths o f Spiritualism. Their pleasure in be­ing able to speak to us and their gratitude for encouragement brings tears to the eyes o f many who witness these secues as they occur from week to week. There was something quite comical when old Monteka resisted and protested against what she supposed was bending the knee in prayer. But with the true spirit of helpfulness, always shown to us from our Indian friends on the unseen side of life, she knelt and a beau­tiful test was given.— L. A. R.

— Hon. A. B. French graced the spiritual rostrum at G. A.R. Hail last Snartay. It was his first appearance here in this capacity since 1S86. Upon his introduction by the president o f the Union Society, Mr. Hare, the speaker referred to this interval as years lull o f care, struggle, and toil with many chauges in the individual and the world's thought, and that after so long an absence one naturally looks aronnd for old faces, bnt they are m issing and new ones have taken their places. But the cause is the same— truth marching on for­ever and keeping pace with progress. H is morning’s dis­course was on “ The Land o f the so called Dead,” in which he portrayed the various heavens and hells o f the more promi­nent religions of earth. It was an interesting lecture, full o f food for reflection and highly appreciated as was evidenced by the effect it had on the hearers.

The evening lecture was on the “ Religion o f Spiritualism ,” and brought out the full force o f the speaker as an inspira­tional medium of rare merit, and, as many thought, unequal­led in the field in this line. T o the “silver tongued orator” was added the specification o f “ peer o f the rostrum.”

As an introductory to bis theme, Mr. French sa id : “A ll progress is change. It is transition from one state or condi­tion to another. Our scientists tell us the law by which progress is maintained is definite and universal. T h ey say the order o f evolution is from the simple to the complex. This order is the method o f nature. It is getting and giving. So we grow by what we get, and equally as much by what we g iv e W herever we find an organism in which this is lacking we find a fossil. W hen E gyp t became too poor to lend and too proad to borrow she died as a power. So it is w ith indi­viduals. W henever a man refuses to get a troth or give one he becomes fossilized. Religions folks claim that old troths are sacred and that it is dangerons to seek new ones. These have swerved from the law of progress. Spiritualism is above this, and the consequence is its marvellous grow th. Some may think this irreligious, but it is not. Science even is not irreligious, for it leads to light. A ll trne religion leads to higher eminences, for it teaches that every finite form carries infinity within. Nothing is lo s t T h e sunbeam that fell on a carboniferous age returns to ns to-day and proclaims that all is preserved. So Spiritualism accepts all the truths o f the past, only that it rejects the old god-idea o f personality, bnt replaces it with a higher conception in universality— an in­telligent law— a life current that bears man on to snblim er re­gions and a better understanding o f existence.”

T h e speaker also dwelt on the old devil-theory in like manner, the personality o f which he doffed as a sort o f “chief o f police in every well regulated orthodox* community,” al­ways on hand to do services assigned to him, but now dead, and only awaiting memorial services to be held over him as the finale to that which was. Bnt, added he, this does not en­tail upon Spiritualism any particular degree o f optimism, for Spiritualists are ju st as conscious o f evil as ever, only that they find it in the individual as sensualism and selfishness that has to be combatted to reach a fntnre heaven— that each one has to bnild a bridge through good works in older to at­tain i t

Resurrection was depicted as rebirth o f the sonl at death o f the body, word picturing it in beautiful style. Judgment day as a myth that collapsed with the proof o f spiriLretnrn. But in substitution thereof he showed that we are constantly being judged by our fellow-men, and which had much to do with our behavior. B at for all that jnstice is not wanting. A ll will receive compensation by virtue o f law, jn st as none can escape the mirror o f h is own consciousness. The fear o f death has also been transformed into a happy anticipation through the new revelation. In fact the religion o f Spiritu­alism has changed the old graveyard idea into a beautiful flower garden, and the old monotonous material heaven into a spiritual home o f love. In closing he said, go and tell the world o f these new truths that it may feel the blessing o f an enlightened Spiritualism.

Mr. French closes his engagem ent next Snnday, when he w ill deliver a discourse at 10 30 a. m. and 7 30 p. m.

and tbe friends he met here last winter that be has signified his willingness to mske another and a longer visit, commenc­ing with the firat Sunday in January, *93.

Those having the matter in charge are more pleased with the doctor and bis utterances than be can possibly be with them or with Chicago, and it is their wish to establish a gsand free meeting with Dr. W illia as speaker for an Indefi­nite time, at such place and hour as may be decided upon by those financially interested in these meetings. We wish a guarantee fund for tbe expenses, so that there will be uo ad­mission fee at the door, and 1 would ask all friends o f the doctor to write me how much they are w illing to subscribe towards defraying tbe expenses o f these meetings for the month o f January, '93.

Dr. Babbitt has entered the vestibule o f the real forces which move the world o f inorganic and organic life.

O B IT U A R Y .From her hom e in Newburyport, Mass., H arriet M. L ittle­

field, on November 4th, passed into the vast beyond at the age o f seventy-six years and lour months. She had labored zeal­ously in tbe cause o f Spiritualism ever since its advent in 1S4S, and was one o f the few women w ho have tbe courage of their convictions, and not Ashamed o f her religion. She even dared maintain what to her was the troth, founded not on faith, but a know ledge that could not be resisted. Hers was an every-day Spiritualism , and the purity o f her life, coupled w ith her earnestness and devotion to principle won for her snch a respect from those not in sym pathy with her religion as to endear her as a neighbor and friend as long as conscious memory endures. The lamp o f her physical ex­istence has ceased to burn, b at the life o f her unselfish life grows brighter, so that friends remaining may see the path she trod, and, em ulating her exam ple, prove as she did a faithful friend to humanity. T h e funeral obsequies were held at her late residence on Olive street, M onday November jtb . Dr. Thorndyke o f H averhill, Mass., officiating.

B altim ore, M d.M iss M aggie Ganle’s seance at W ortzbnrger Hall last Snn­

day was a remarkable event. T b e large hall was crowded to suffocation, and many investigators had to return home, dis­appointed at not finding even standing-room. Miss Ganle. who had risen from a sick-bed to keep her appointment with the Religio Philosophical Society, was at her best os a clair­voyant. She gave many tests, all o f which were recognized Among others,she told a lad ]: “ This is the anniversary o f your son’s passing away, and you went to bis grave this morning strewing it with flowers and shedding bitter tears. Your son is here, standing close to you. He bids you mourn no more, but rejoice, lor he is happy, and always near, though hidden from eight.” She went on, giving a comforting mes­sage to the bereaved mother, who exclaimed amid her tears: “ These are the very words my husband spoke to me when I re­turned from the cemetery.”

I can not omit mentioning a fact o f which the public has no knowledge, and which speaks highly o f Miss Ganle’s gen­erosity and devotion to the cause. When the treasurer, after the meeting, banded her tbe sum agreed upon for her services, she declined taking the money, and begged that it be turned over to the society’s ‘‘Temple Fund.”

Although young and struggling tbe society resolved, some time ago, to raise enough money to erect a building of their own, exclusively devoted to Spiritualist meetings ana services. They have already given several entertainments in furtherance o f this project, and are preparing to hold a fair this Winter, which, it is hoped, will bring them a good round sum. The ladies have taken this matter in hand, and with them there ia no such word aa fail. So goes the good work here.

A t their last business meeting the society considered the resignations o f the president and treasurer, who, owing to other occupations ana failing health could not discharge their official duties to their own satisfaction. An election was held, which resulted in the unanimous choice o f F. A. Everitt for president, and H. F. Gauss for treasurer. No better selection could have been m ade; both o f these gentlemen are tried

' and devoted Spiritualists, highly respected and very popular,T h e harmony which prevails in the ranks o f this society

augurs well for its future. “ Onward” is their motto, and they ar* **«• •''•pared to call a halt before their great object is ac- pomplished. DEC-

A t her home in Santa Ana, Cal., on November 2,1892, Mrs. Mary J. Blood was translated to tbe realms immortal. She was born on the grand old hills o f the Granite State in the year 1827. Her life was that of a fnend to the depressed, a comforter to the sick, and a support to the lame. One o f the first to enter the ranks o f the Spiritualists she always labored to the advancement o f human kind. The most fitting me- memorial services ever my lot to witness were held in Liberty Hall, Summerland, on November 6th, under the auspices of the Ladies’ Mite Society, o f which she was vice-president, and conducted by her brother, Professor J. S. Loveland. The joy and beauty o f death was the theme. The professor spoke from the heart, and the soul flights were remarkable, ana car­ried his hearers direct to the gates ajar. The floral offering o f the Mite Society was beautiful in the extreme, and the re­sponse o f Mrs. Nettie B. Snow added the sublimity o f poetry to the tribute.

Portland, Ore.The F irst Spiritasl Society of this city holds meetings

three tim es each week iu the G. A. R. Hal), coiner First and T ailor Streets. Tbe Sunday morning meeting consists of short talks on subjects perlainiug to the cause by members oi the audience.

At the Sunday evening meeting Mr.S.B llendec speaks un­der trance on such subjects as may be presented. Sunday, the 13th inst., the subject was “ The Union of Church and S ate.” He took us back in an eloquent manner to the time o f Constantine and Theodosius, showed to us government and religion as it was then, and from thst reasoned to what would now happen if the Church had the power.

During the latter part o f the evening Mrs. Addie R. Smith gave tests from tbe platform. This lady has been on the ros­trum only a short time but shows remarkable ability.

Ou Thursday evening the society gives a shprt literary program, after which the audience forma into small citcles which are presided over by the different mediums.

There is also in conjunction with this society a young people’s meeting, known as tbe Young People’s Progressive Society. Their programs are interesting and instructive.

Central Electropoise Co..

C h erryva le , Kan.The Cherry vale Republican says, concerning one o f our

co-w orkers:The lecture given last Sunday afternoon in the basement

church by Rev. Mrs. M. T. Allen, was entertaining, and was listened to with deep interest by the audience. The answer to the question “ Eternity” was given in poetry, and was grand, and on Wednesday night, although it threatened rain, the house was crowded, her controls answered each question as taken up in beautiful language. The answer to the ques­tion, “ What is Spiritualism ,” was beautiful. Mrs. Allen speaks inspirationally, she knows nothing of what she is going to say beforehand. She speaks what is given to her by the spirit world. T h is is something new to most o f u§. Tbe Spirit­ualists o f Cherryvale Home formed a society o f fourteen members, and expect others to join soon. They will soon incorporate under the laws of the State as a religions body. Mrs. Allen w ill remain here this week. M eeting at tbe same place next Sunday night. A ll are invited.
