most eA aftm vew taaragWon of Mefcnt re­cords for the last hundred years by the ablest divines, of whom I could cite the named of twenty seven eminent American and European clergymen and scholars. And yet these his­torical demonstrations of the Biblical fraud are| still concealed by the salaried occupants of pulpits, and absolutely unknown to the be-[ nigkted people, who are still taught that they are instructed by the word 0f God, which they must oot doubt or examine.

There Is no form of superstition either in Africa or Asia more heathenish, absurd, and childish than the superstition which worships the old Bible as the word of God, when a large portion of it Is really below the average of re­spectable literature, and I have sometimes amused myself by mixing up the Biblical verses with an equal number of my own composition and defying the orthodox to determine which I had written and which bad a divine author.

The portrait of the deity in the Old Testament is what might well be ealled blasphemous, as It is that of a weak-minded, fierce, and ignorant familiar spirit of the barbarian Jews; and the effort of the compilers of the New Testament is I to perpetuate the Old Testament conception, and make It more terrific by a system of des­potism in this life and Infinite misery in the life to come, under the superintendence of the devIL

This Is not only a criminal Imposture upon mankind of unexampled depravity, but a base libel upon the heroic and inspired founders of Christianity, which has no evidence to sustain It, and which has long been known to the most | enlightened as destitute of authenticity.

Fourteen hundred years ago Bishop Faastus published fa is protest, saying that the published gospels were then veil known to be nothing more than the productions of "some unknown men” whose names were entirely unknown and that it was a “grievous wrong to the disciples of Christ* to,attribute to the apostles the "discordant and contradictory statements In these writ logs,” “which are so fall of errors and dis­crepancies both in facts and opinions.”

Hence be said "the clear intuition of the heart perceives the errors, and to avoid all In­justice, we accept whatever is uaefnl In the way of building up our faith and promoting the glory of the Lord Chrlstland of the Almighty Cod, his father, while we reject the rest, as un­becoming the majesty of God and Christ and In­consistent with our belief.”

This I understand Is what Mr. Weaver does, and what the most enlightened have always done, for when they understand by sympathy the noble nature of Jesus, and the apostles, they can not accept anything incompatible with the wisdom and love to whjejb their lives were de­voted. Those whom I have taught know how to reject all these fictions and fronds.

Mr. Weaver is apparently not aware of the lack of authenticity in the gospels, and I most assnre him that the opinioo of Jesos being the promised Messiah, or the "word” or the "only begotten son” of God or "God him self’ or a de­fender of slavery or a strict opponent of di­vorce, or a believer in the divine right of rnlers, or the lawfnlness of war, has no foundation in the true apostolic writings.

mespecially In relation to its •urnmndln spirit Inhabiting an Jver-changlng body of mat ter Is conscious of external events by the man ner in which such occurrences affect the soIh stance In which the spirit dwells. For examf pie a mortal person—meaning by such one that] is yet encased In a material body, Is very sas-| ceptible to beat and cold; these relative states of temperature affect the spirit entirely by a| change of condition that they bring about in the matter that constitutes the material body of the spirit.

Note closely now, that temperature does not affect the spirit directly, hot only by the changes that it produces In the body. And this may be affirmed of any of the senses by which] we become Informed of what is transpiring ex­terior to our body. Our perception of light, as we now know light, depends upon certain phy­sical alterations that take place In the eyes when light Is present These changes the spir­it has become familiar with and interprets them by the law of experience. Its extraneous knowledge of things by which It is surrounded Is obtained one way or another through its ma­terial organism. But Its relation to existence

land its intelligent cognition of facts is won­derfully changed as soon as it separates from such organisms. To measure the extent of this change we will be aided by referring to some of the conditions of our present life, and bow it Is modified by physical environment.

Interstellar space is occupied by an exceed­ingly rare or refined medium or ether that is more or less In motion, and that Is set In mo­tion by the different suns; our own son Impart­ing to It a motion that Is essential for the very presence of all life upon the earth, i t is one of I the characteristics of matter that wherever motion Is arrested or checked, heat, or beatand light are evolved as a consequence. But as heat and light are both themselves a mode of motion—which fact I may treat of more speci­fically some other time—we see they are bat the product of one kind of motion, that of the interplanetary ether, being converted Into a| new kind of motion. We are conscious of this new motion, but not of the motion from which It Is derived.

Beyond the earth’s atmosphere absolute dark­ness reigns and cold beyond our power of com­puting ; bat the equivalent motion of the ether that gives us our light and beat Is there, al­though we have no sense by which we are able to perceive It. While we live In physical HTelt Is not important or vital to our Interest to see this empyrean activity. Now it Is Into this region of (to ns) darkness and chill that the soul, released by death from the body, takes Its flight and has Its residence. In its new rela­tions the spirit consciousness is adapted to the new life. It knows not our cold nor needs oar sunlight, bat tbe more exalted activities and Intenser currents of the rare medium In which it dwells give quickened sensation and freer thought. What is absolute darkness to tbe spirit clothed In matter, Is a world o f light to the released sonL Jt Is conscious of the ac­tivities ol the eosmic ether; and tbe light by which It perceives objects Is probably the ef­fect of magnetism. ■ a b ly make, In a comparatively brief tli

The funeral services of Mrs. Marlon H.

S. Lillie, late of Cincinnati, assisted by Mrs. Clara Watson, of] Jamestown, officiating.

A special train ran from Dunkirk, and a ll though (he day was bitter cold, a large concourse] of relatives and sympathizing friends came] from every direction.

The Skidmore home has for many years been] the hospitable resort of scores of friends, and the speakers and mediums have always found in Its atmosphere not only a welcome, butH tonic for spirit and body whloh re-invigorated them for their public work. None coaid have been more missed or more beloved than Mrs, Skidmore. But on this occasion all were sus­tained and comforted by the knowledge that death does not end all, and that the word tmmor- tal means not only continued existence, but con tinned activity, aiyl even a closer nearness with those In spirit held dear.

A white ribbon wa^placed upon the door, and the spacious parlors were handsomely decorated with evergreens and flowers. Over the head of the casket was an arob. entwined with ever greens and delicate white flowers, and bearing the words,

The speaker spoke quite at length of the im­portant part our alater had taken In the work at this camp, which was begun fifteen years ago, and was entered Into not only by mortals, but by hosts of Immortals, who tanght us to realize that the solving ot the question. "If a man die, shall he Uve again?” was most important to mankind.

“Who can say that only for Mrs. Skidmore’s self-sacrificing and ceaseless efforts for this camp it might have faded away long ago? There are but few, if any, who know how much she has done, or how many discouragements and obstacles have been surmounted through her munificence.

“Mrs. Skidmore was a born skeptic to every­thing to which her heart did not subscribe henoe not a religionist in the ordinary sense At the transition of her beloved and only daughter a great light w ent oat o f tbe home, and there was no rest for the father and mother's hearts until they sought and found proof positive of her continued existence and ability to love them and commune with them.”

The services were interspersed by m ost touching selections of mnslo, delightfully ren­dered by the Cassadaga Quartette. Truman Richardson, and the Smith Brothers.

Suppose an analogous ca se : Tbe majority of the Illinois legislature presumably does not be­lieve that masses, prayers, and ceremonies will have any effect on tbe condition of the souls of the dead. The logical conclusion Is that all money paid for such is lost and fraudulently obtained. Would they enact, that all persons offering to mitigate tbe pnnishment o f souls lu purgatory, or changejbeir condition by prayers, masses, e tc , and taking pay for such cere­monies were common swindlers, or disorderly, and liable to fine as such? And then to pacify the Roman Catholics, enact that such fraud might be licensed by a Church Incorporated by law. Wouldn’t Rome howl!

And y e t these his­torical demonstrations o f the Biblical fraud axe still concealed by the salaried ocen pants of palpits. and absolutely unknown to the be­nighted people, who are still taught that they are instructed by the word o f God, which they m ast not doubt or examine.

There Is no form o f superstition either in Africa or Asia more heathenish, aboard, and childish than the snperstltion which worships the old Bible as d r wor d o f God, when a large portion o f i t is really below the a v e n g e o f re­spectable literature, and I have sometimes amused m yself by m ixing up the Biblical v erses! with sa equal number o f m y own composition [ and defying the orthodox to determine which I had written and which had a divine author.

This Is not on ly n criminal Imposture upon mankind o f unexampled depravity, bat a base Dbel upon tbe heroic sod inspired founders of Christianity, which has no evidence to tu r ttlr it, and which has long been known to tke most enlightened as destitute o f authenticity.

Fourteen hundred years ago Bishop Faustus published h is protest, saying that tbe publishedgospels were then w ell known to he nothing morethan the productions o f "bosk unknown men” whose names w ere entirely unknown and th«f i t was a “yriraout wrong to the dieeiplea ofC hrieC to .attribute to the apostles the “discordant and contradictory statem ents in these writ­ings," “which are so fa ll o f errors and dis­crepancies both ia facts and opinions.”

H ence he sa id "the clear intuition o f the heart perceives the errors, and to avoid all in ­justice , w e accept w hatever is aaeful in the w a y o f building up oar faith and promoting the glory o f the Lord Christland o f the Almighty God, h is father, w hile w e reject the rest, as un­becoming tbe m ajesty o f God and Christ and in­consistent w ith oar belief."

MARION H. SKIDMORE.Burial Services Over Her Remains at Lily

Dale, N. Y.

Cassadaga Camp Honors tbe Arisen.

“ The raaaet of thU life U the ran ru e la • higher abode.”

The funeral services of Mrs. Marlon H. Skid­more, who was one of tbe most faithful and beloved pioneers In tbe cause of Spiritualism and all humanitary reform, were held a t tbe Skidmore home at Lily Dale, Wednesday, Febru­ary 6th, In a manner truly befitting to her noble and loving life, Mrs. R. S. Lillie, late of Cincinnati, assisted by Mrs. Clara Watson, of Jamestown, officiating.

A special train ran from Dunkirk, and al­though the day was bitter cold, a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends came from every direction.

Tbe Skidmore home has for many years been the hospitable resort of scores of friends, and tbe speakers and mediums have always found in Its atmosphere not only a welcome, but a tonic for spirit and body which re-invigorated them for their public work. None could have been more missed or more beloved than Mrs.

But on this occasion all were sos-

few In life who were so well adapted by cal® judgment, broad and loving sympathy, and ten­der charity to meet with the diversity of minds and deal with the questions which perplex humanity, finding a solution In a quiet, unosten­tatious way, that brought comfort as well as wisdom."

The speaker spoke quite at length of the Im­portant part our sister bad taken In tke workat this camp, which was begun fifteen years si and was entered Into not only by mortals,]by hosts of Immortals, who taught us to realize that the solving of the question. "If a man die, shall be live again?" was most important to mankind. The assn ranee of an after-life of progression will In Ume roll away the elands of sorrow from all human hearts, and enable as the better to understand our relation to God and man. and remove tbe awful fear of death.

“Who can say that only for Mrs. Skidmore's self-sacrificing and ceaseless efforts for this camp It might have faded away long ago? There are but few, if any, who know bow mock she baa done, or bow many discouragements and obstacles have been surmounted through her munificence.

“Mrs. Skidmore was a born skeptic to every­thing to which her heart did not subscribe hence not a religionist In (be ordinary sense At tbe transition of her beloved sod only daughter a great light went rat of tbe home, and there was no rest for the father and mother’s hearts until they souzbt and found proof positive of her continued existence and

fron ted life, sod the comforting and uplifting effect of our truly glorious religion.

The services were interspersed by most touching selections o f music, delightfully ren­dered by tbe Csasadaga Quartette, Truman Richardson, and the Smith Brothers.

In closing this already-too-long paper I wish to suggest: to all tbe women who may read this, and also to all of our I brothers who are friendly to the cause o f woman suffrage that the women o f the whole United States take steps to make a woman's national campaign In 1896 somewhat g in liar, perhaps, to the movement that I hare been writing about, bat shorn o f tbe faults which that movement pos­sessed. And 1 would further suggest that this movement be taken up and carried forward under tbe leadership of the long-time workers In the woman suffrage cause.

But le t all progressive women do all they can to promote tbe success of such a movement.

News from Portland, Ore.Spiritualism is going ahead to this city, not

spasmodically, but steadily, every day making some progress. The First Spiritual Church of Portland was organized last November, and has been continued ever since with growing Inter­est.

The meetings are opened with song and prayer by our pastor, who then reads a text from the Bible and makes his remarks upon the same. This is followed by testa by that great medium, Ben M. Barney, who is second to none lo his phases, as reader of sealed letters and giving correct tests from the same. Then the meeting is closed by a song and benediction. By I this means we have both the philosophy as well as the phenomena presented to the audience. Tbe attendance is gradually growing, and we nope it may prove a success, at least we (eel en­couraged.

Before going Into the presence o f tbe medld^ I bad asked six qnestions o f six different spiriB whom I knew In earth life . These question were on separate slips o f paper o f tbe saflB i size, and folded exactly alike. After l e l i l thus folded with blank side outward, all looked | alike to me or any one else, all being I three-fourths o f an inch square. No hnfiM

Spread a handkerchief on tbe table, and I then laid the tw o slates diagonally witji the square of tbe handkerchief. She then drew the cor­ners up over the sides or the elates and over the eentre o f the upper slate, tied In a double-knot Sbe then drew the other two corners o f tbe h a n d k e r c h ie f over the ends of the slates, tying in tbe same manner. She then told me to hold[ the elates m yself. I did so, but soon discovered that there was an onmlstakeable scratching noise, and apparently vibratory operations go-! tog on to or aboot the Blates, and what makes It seem still more m ysterious Is that there was no pencil between tbe slates. Presently, when! the signal was given that the messages were

I written, I opened the slates and found on one]I slate a long and excellent message from myl oldest son, J. T. Kiser, while on the other slate

I were two other messages, one from my brother 'James Kiser, and the other from James Andei-

[son, but signed Uncle N ick; and to cap tbe cli­max there was a carnation pink crushed be­tween tbe slates which had pressed against a

[portion o f the w riting o f messages oo both in- j ner ’surfaces o f slates. The explanatory mes­sage read like th is:

Ibis fears. One night my friend was sitting up | with the patient, when she saw s most beautifo and bright form enter by the door, go up to tho bed, and stooping over its occupant, enter into conversation with him. To her great astonish­ment, tbe boy assumed a listening attitude, and gradually a look of peace stole over his face After aboot ten minutes, the form left the room the same way it had catered. As nothing was known to that family about clairvoyance, my friend said nothing of what she had seen to any­one.

Cion baa ensued. It is the womb of degeneracy. A Calvinistic Malthusianism Is the ripe fruit of the tree of conservative thought. Tbe idea that a few are elect, by and through an enor­mous lost contingency, is of all things tbe most eonstiling to iho aristocrat. The struggle for existence is not necessarily the survival of the i best. Tbe shark’s tooth le a better con*erver | of society than the golden rule. The tooth and tbe elbow are the motor flexors of human ambi- Cion. Vs have gotten a Jong way from the! cave man when we decorate onr tables with flowers and eat with halves and forks. Tbe de-| vout civilizes carries the significance of the I banquet to the extreme when he partakes of I the bread a ad wine at the communion table, fori does he not n t bread with God? But It requires a single thought to hinge this spectacle to the slaughter of lambs and oxen os a sweet savor I to the gods of aatiqeJty.

The degenerate and the regenerate are close­ly allied. The Neolithic savage used his hands I ae claws, and his loeiseors as tools, to tear his raw meat and devour It. Mrs. Cleveland, the Carina of Russia, Emperor William, and the tramp who crept into Millionaire Aster's bed, all do the same thing, the tramp particularly, for by the peculiar processes of civilization which have made ten thousand commercial paupers! in order to make one millionaire, the tramp isj often deprived, if not of the meat, at least a knife to carve It with, and a fork to transfer It to his ineissors. The advantages of the tooth* and-elbow regime have given the knife and fork, always the meat, to the others.

The struggle is wealth against common wealth. To-day we see hypocrisy, the court of adulation and cunning, the master of the world. The first shock that Intellect gave to the mind! produced canning and a lie. Elbows are the only Important competitors of the doctors in making! fat graveyards. Tbe man who suicides because be can not compete with Marshall Field, and fails in “business,” is tbe logical output of the! elbow creed. He has been crowded out.

Morals I What have morals to do with it? Conscience I What has conscience to do with

it?Twenty-three hundred years ago Aristotle

wrote up the human conscience. He made so plain that even the gods on Olympus might have beheld a greater than they In Aristotle But conscience is dead; so Is Aristotle; so Is the Aristotlean era. The tombs of conscience are to be seen above the metallic sward that en closed tbe eemetery of dominant religion. They are to be found in the cold, heartless, gilded and frescoed emporiums of “business.’* Every millionaire senator, every political exploiter, every master of finance, every pnlpit buffoon, and every man who thrives on the misfortunes of his kind, is a standing monument to a dead conscience.

This Is not pessimism; it is evolution. Were we to regard the world tbe flat of a creator, and man a fallen being, reason coaid not avoid pessimism. Tbe proposition of life structure would stand thus: Creation, Theology, Nihilism Bat when we look backward, and see man as a savage gnawing bones, and look about us and

his weaker fellows be mixed op

evolution,and we take hope.

Instead of a perfectly created being, fallen into degradation, tbe eye of the philosopher sees man an Imperfect animal rising Into tbe beatitudes. Some day tbe struggle will be to benefit and help instead of devouring the weak and the unfortunate. It will be altruistic; not individualistic. Tbe passing show is ironical.We are a long way from perfection, bat tbe world is slowly moving that way; it never will be attained, and tbe most fright! nl o f all conceivable ends wonld be a state of perfec­tion.

■ A number of so-called liberal ministers of the [Evangelical Church In the East have recently! [expressed themselves In print concerning the Hork and tbe objects of that organization [which has rapidly grown into public notice as] the A. P. A. In a careful perusal of these efful sions from the pens of the clergymen, an an prejudiced mind will perceive that some or

[them treat the subject In a very one-sided manl ner. They seem rather timid about touching the subject at all; bat as they are called npon [for their opinion, they most, perforce, express] ■ In sneb a manner as will not offend the o p l Ipooents of the American Protective Associa-| Jtion/even If they do misrepresent In a measure [the objects and mission of this organization.^

Those who are familiar with the principles! and platform of the A. P.

But what these principles of the]

Ia. P. A. do deny is tbe right o f Romanism to [enter our offices of State and our public schools and assume control of our governmental affairs and tbe dictation of onr educational systems.

The ministers referred to claim that we should be tolerant and liberal toward tbe Cath-[ olics, who only nomber one-eighth of tbe popu­lation of tbe United States, bat It is just this representation which shows ns the danger of allowing Catholicism to gain a larger footing in onr m idst; for with its small number of ad­herents, compared to tbe larger number o f oth­er denominations, it has amassed a wealth and power and authority in this coontry that is simply astounding.

In those countries where Catholicism Is the ruling power of Chnrcb and State, liberality and tolerance have no footing and no name. In Spain, as in South and In Central America( tbe bolyand infallible (?) pope roles with an iron rod, and thinking minds who view the sit- nation o f affairs In these and other countries that are similarly governed by tbe pope and bis Jesuitical allies, believe that the turmoils and strife that frequently rise within them are stirred op by tbe priests that tbe people may have no opportunity to consider the question of home rale.”We are sorry to see tbe American clergy be­

' The Banner o f Light of February 9 ,1895, con tains a sketch o f Luther Colby from tbe pen of one of England’s grandest workers, J. J. Morse. Among other things said o f Mr. Colby:

He was a tower o f strength in i be early days, when onr cause bad literally to flgbt for every iochof ground against odds that present-daj Spiritualists can scarcely appreciate, for to* road Is smooth Indeed now. Faltbfol to nis call from the world o f the unseen. Mr. Coidj, “nailed his colors to the mast,” and proclaimed the facts of spirit-return, eternal progress, and a rational hereafter, as ported on tbe phenom­ena associated with spirit communion, in !'bese matters be never faltered or turned aside, Week after week the Banner, In Its "Message] Department” page, has printed innumerable messages from thousands o f spirits, to tneir earthly friends in all parts of the world. A sustained and unequalled form of propegnnu* unparalleled in any Spiritualist paper. 1°“®?“ the history or the rise and pregress or tbe Banner o f Light to r the first quarter of a century of Its existence. Is the history o f tbe rise ana >rogress of Modern Spiritualism in the land or ts birth. Its earlier volumes are as precious

records as any contained in the archives of any jState or Church throughout the history of tbe world._ |t 1iIs Is the monument every Spiritualist should erect in his heart to Lntber Colby, the jAtlas” who upheld Spiritualism and tbe Banner jo/ Light “In the early days, when onr cause had literally to flgbt for every inch of ground against odds that present-day Spiritualists can scarcely appreciate.”^Years hence, when they come to write bis 1114 dispassionately Spiritualists will speak o f bim as the Napoleon o f spirit-return. For, para­doxical as It may sound, be was tbe Napoleon of Love “fighting for every Inch o f ground against great odds."

lit Is easy to sit down and speak complacently of Colby and his early struggles, “for the rood

smooth indeed now.” The Juvenile spiritual press has one after another appropriated his original features o f spiritual journalism.

The Light of Truth, like its brethren, b filled weekly with Colby’s Ideas. We therefore

ave back to Old England the words o f truth uttered by Mr. Morse, “The earlier volumes of tbe Banner o f L ight are as precious records as any contained In the archives of any State

Church throughout the history o f the world.”

Our readers have been introduced to this] gentleman on various occasions by reference to blm in these columns, and latterly by bis testi­monial to Spiritualism In the form o f a book. In] which he gives bis experience and bis reasons for accepting the new revelation.

Now this new acquisition to onr cause bus ascended the spiritual rostrum, and become one of onr ablest speakers.

Things as We See Them.The world dominated by assumed finality, or

completed thought structures, such as religious! system s with their attendant theologies, bos be-1 come a veritable Bable o f confilctions, cross-1 purposes, and humbug. To be cajoled, tbe c lev­erest Is to be tbe most self-satisfied. Conserva­tism botes Innovation. The established lea l-1 ways conservative,alw ays fearful o f being dis­turbed. In tbe proportion that correlated sy s-r terns o f thought have become established, con­servatism, with Its aristocratic "let us alone" society, has become enthroned, and stagna­tion has ensued. It is tbe womb o f degeneracy.A Calvinisiic Malthusianism is the ripe fruit of the tree o f conservative thought. Tbe Idea that a few are elect, by and through an enor­mous lost contingency, is o f a ll things tbe most eonsoling to the aristocrat. Tbe struggle for existence is not necessarily the survival o f tbe best. The shark's tooth Is a better coikerver o f society than the golden rule. Tbe tooth and the elbow are tbe motor flexors of human ambt tion. We have gotten a long way from the

cave man when we decorate oar tables with flowers and eat with knives and forks. Tbe de- vouc civ ilizee carries the significance o f the banquet to tbe extrem e when he partakes o f tbe bread and wine at tbe communion table, for does be not eat bread w ith God? Bat It requires a single thought to binge th is spectacle to tbe slaughter of lambs and oxen as a sw eet savor to tbe gods o f antiquity.

Tbe degenerate and tbe regenerate are close­ly allied. Tbe Neolithic savage used his hands as claw s, and h is incissors as tools, to tear his raw meat and devour It. Mrs. Cleveland, the Czarina o f Russia, Emperor William, and the tramp who crept Into Millionaire Aster's bed, all do the same thing, the tramp particularly, for by the peculiar processes o f civilization which have mode ten thousand com mercial panpera In order to make one m illionaire, the tramp Is often deprived, i f not o f tbe m eat, a t least a knife to carve It with, and a fork to transfer it to his incissors. Tbe advantages o f tbe tooth- and-elbow regim e have given the knife and fork, a lw ays tbe meat, to the others.

The struggle is wealth against common wealth. To-day w e see hypocrisy, the court of adulation and canning, the m aster o f the world. The first shock that Intellect gave to the mind prodaeed cunning and a lie . Elbows are tbe only Important com petitors o f the doctors in m aking fa t graveyards. Tbe man who suicides because he can not compete w ith Marshall F ield, and fa lls in “business," Is tbe logical output o f the elbow creed. He has been crowded out.

Morals I What have morals to do w ith it? Conscience I What has conscience to do with

It?Twenty-three hundred years ago Aristotle

w rote up tbe human conscience. He made it so plain that even tbe gods on Olympus might have beheld a greater than they In Aristotle. B at conscience is dead', so is A ristotle; so is the Aristotlean era. Tbe tombs o f conscience ore to be seen above tbe m etallic sward that en­closed the cem etery o f dominant religion. They ore to be found in tbe cold, heartless, gilded, and frescoed emporiums o f "business.” Every m illionaire senator, every political exploiter, every m aster o f finance, every palpit buffoon, and every man who thrives on the m isfortunes o f h is kind, is a standing monament to a dead conscience.

This Is not pessim ism ; It is evolution. Were w e to regard the world the flat o f a creator, and man a fallen being, reason could not avoid pessimism. Tbe proposition of life structure would stand th u s: Creation, Theology,Nihilism But when we look backward, and see man a t a savage gnaw ing bones, and look about us and see him a s a savage gnaw ing bis weaker fellow s the problem o f lire is perceived to be mixed up in the transform ations incident to evolution, and w e take hope.

Instead o f a perfectly created being, fallen into degradation, tbe e y e o f the philosopher sees man an im perfect animal rising into tbe beat!lades. Some day tbe stragg le w ill be to benefit and help Instead o f devouring tbe weak and tbe unfortunate. I t w ill be a ltru istic; not individualistic. Tbe passing show is Ironical. We are a long way from perfection, bat tbe world Is slow ly m oving that w a y : It never w ill be attained, and tbe m ost fright!nl o f a ll conceivable ends wonld be a sta te o f perfec­tion. But progress has been attained, which is the grea test step o f man from the barbaric toward the civ ilized state.

Eastern Ministers on the A. P. A.A number o f so-called liberal m inisters o f the

Bnt what these principles o f the A. P. A. do deny is tbe r igh t o f Romanism to enter our offices o f S tate and our public schools and assum e control o f our governm ental affairs ^nd the dictation o f our educational system s. ■ T h e m inisters referred to claim that we should be tolerant and liberal toward the Cath­olics, who only number one-eighth o f the popu­lation o f the United States, but i t Is jnet th is representation which show s us tbe danger of allow ing Catholicism to gain a larger footing [in oar m idst; for w ith its sm all number o f ad­herents, compared to tbe larger number o f oth­er denominations, It bas am assed a w ealth and power and authority In th is country that is sim ply astounding.

In those countries w here Catholicism Is the ruling power o f Church and State, liberality and tolerance have no footing and no name.

We are sorry to see the American clergy be­littlin g or m isrepresenting the A.

Faithful to m i ca ll from the world o f the unseen, Mr. LOHW “nailed h is colors to the m ast," and proclaimca the fa c ts o f spirit-return, eternal progress, snu a rational hereafter, as posited on tbe pbenoim-ena associated w ith sp ir it communion, in'hese m atters be never faltered or turned aeiu^ Week a fter w eek th e Banner, in Its “Message Department" page, has printed innumerable m essages from thousands o f sp ir its ,t0 5neii, earth ly friends in a ll parts o f the world, a sustained and unequalled form o f propaganas unparalleled in any Spiritualist paper. the history or the r ise and pregress or ine Banner o f L igh t to r tbe first quarter of a century o f Its ex isten ce, is the history o f tbe rise nna progress o f Modern Spiritualism In the lana 01 Its birtb. I ts earlier volum es are as precious records as any contained in tbe archives o f any State or Church throughout the history or the world.

This Is th e m onum ent ev ery Spiritualist should erect in h is heart to Lntber Colby, tbe 'Atlas" who upheld Spiritualism and tbe Banner

o f L igh t “in the early days, when our cause bad litera lly to fight for e v ery inch o f ground against odds that present-day Spiritualists can scarcely appreciate."

Years hence, when th ey com e to write bis file, dispassionately Sp iritualists w ill speak o f him as th e Napoleon o f spirit-return. For, para­doxical as i t m ay sound, be w as the Napoleon of Love “fighting for b very inch o f ground against great odds."

I t is e a sy to s i t down and speak complacently o f Colby and h is e a rly struggles, “for tbe road Is sm ooth Indeed now." The Juvenile spiritual pre&s has one a fter anotber appropriated his original /ea tu res o f sp iritual Journalism.

The Light of Truth , lik e its brethren, Is filled w eek ly w ith Colby’s ideas. We therefor* w ave back to Old England the words of trtatb uttered by Mr. Morse, “The earlier 'lolam es of the B anner o f L igh t are as precious records a s any contained In the archives o f any Stale or Church throughout the history o f Ue world."

OUR ANNIVERSARY GIFT.Every Spiritualist Home Should Have One.

■ T h e forty-seventh anniversary o f Spiritual- Item Is rapidly approaching. E very lover o f the [cause has no doubt g iven som e thought to the best w ay o f celebrating and commemorating the even t. W hile you have been thus employed the Light of Truth has exhausted its Inven­tion to discover som ething that w ill be o f in-

[terest to a ll, and an appropriate token o f our [anniversary day.■ F o r y ears there has resided .In th is c ity a physioian wbo achieved a national reputation. Dr. N. B. Wolfe. He not only acquired fame in his chosen profession, but carved for him self [a noble place In the history o f Spiritualism, Ibaving been the author o f books and pamphlets and the promoter o f a countless number o f I m ovem ents which added greatly to thesuccess-[ fui spread o f our beautiful truth. Among many; acts o f devotion to Spiritualism w as the plan devised by him to perpetuate tbe memory or all Spiritualists now liv ing, or that may hereafter come upon the earth, the glorious work done a t iHydeaville forty-seven years ago. Ho employed a t great expense Mr. 7 , C. Lindsay, one of America's celebrated landscape painters, who at tbe request o f Dr. W olfe visited H ydesvllle, re­maining there quite a tim e studying the scenery, surroundings, and the house Itself In which the Fox fam ily resided when tbe rape were first beard. This with the glorious atmosphere and the countless hosts o f v isiting angels was repro­duced on canvass w h at.is now Known as the world-renowned painting entitled "The Dawn of a New Era." The original pointing was a picture 25x36 Inches, and valued at $500.

The painting afterwards came nnder the eye o f one o f the m ost sk illed lithographers In America, and so charmed w as he with tbe sub­je c t that he beseeched the doctor to allow the painting to be reproduced In the form o f a ebromo*lithograph In fourteen colors, a perfect foe sim ile o f the original painting. This, after the expenditure o f the enormous sum o f $4,000, w as successfully accomplished. The plan o f m arketing these chromo-lithographs was to put thegi in a m odest frame and farnteh them to the world for $5.00 each. Through the

Tbe First Spiritual Temple at the Back Bay is presenting tbe phenomenal side of Spiritual­ism to tbe hungry crowd without money and without price. On each Sunday forenoon Mr. Keeler g iv es an exhibition of bis slate-writing and other forms of physical medlumsbip to the amazement o f the skeptic and to tbe delight of tbe Spiritualist. Tbe attendance is very large. So great Is tbe Interest manifested In these manifestations of sp irit power that Mr. M. S. Ayer—who defrays the entire expense of these gatherings—bas opened tbe Temple for Sunday evening m eetings, at which Mrs. Bites produces m aterializations of a convincing character. On Sunday, February iotb, sixteen hundred were present, and many turned away for want of room.

THE VETERAN SPIRITUALISTS UNION

Held its regular monthly meeting aft Gould Hall, 3 Boytetoo Place, Boston, on the evenlog o f Wedneaday, February 6tb. There was a large attendance and a display o f Isiellectoal and musical talent wblcb won the encomiums o f the enthusiastic audience. President H. B. Storer—who baa recovered from his protracted llloeae— presided In bis usual polished manner. Vocal selections rendered by the Longley quar­te t, and by Mrs. Sanders were warmly received. Tbe talented elocutionist. Miss Lace tte Web­ster, was vociferously applauded for her spir­ited readings. Eloquent speeches upon reform­atory and progressive subjects—varied In scope and theme by Eben Cobb, Dr. Storer, Dr. B outelle . M aster Lincoln—tbe veteran master o f the Lym an School o f E a st Bocton—Mr. ffijfe Iflffil from m enu ofIcon Moses, Mrs. Longley, and others. Air*.

A GRAND RALLYIn tbe interests o f freedom In tbe right to se ­lec t oar own physicians w as held at Berkeiy Hall on the afternoon o f Sunday, February 10th, under the auspices o f four organizations.

The Constitutional Liberty -League, the Yet- ran Spiritualists’ Union, the Second National-

lists Club, and tbe Boston Spiritual Temple. There w as a good attendance, and much en­thusiasm was manifested over the various tel­ling points made by tbe speakers. Mr. Pea­body, President o f the Liberty League, pre­

s id ed , J. Winfield Scott, Its genial secretary, was largely In evidence distributing circulars,

I reading resolutions, and m aking him self gen­erally useful. Eloquent speeches were made by F. D. Edwards, J. B. Morton. Dr. Field, Dr. Mary T. L ongley, and Dr. G. W. Fowler. The

&rotests made against further legislation In lassachusetts, restricting tbe rights o f citizens to choose their own doctors, aod curtailing the

liberty o f practicing physicians who bad not (received an Indorsement from som e college recognized by the late Board o f Registration, were bright and to tbe point. We learn that Dr. Longley is expected to address the ladies of tbe Unitarian Church a t W est Spmerville upon tbe medical question, in the near Tatar®. Reso­lutions Indorsing tbe work o f the Constitutional Liberty League, also protesting against medical or other obnoxious legislation: and likew ise in commemoration o f the work o f the late Brother Colby, w ere passt d a t the m eeting referred to above.

The work o f reform and progress moves grandly on a t tbe “flub" and th is Winter will prove one o f successfu l effort oo behalf o f li­berty and. truth in th is section o f the country.

Lincoln, Neb.| Much has been said through tbe columns of I the different newspapers throughout tbe conn- try In regard to the situation and condition of things In this State. There has been some doubt as to whether there was any real suffer­ing for the want o f food and clothing. 1 know there la not the slightest doubt as to great want and suffering In many places, and more espe­cially In localities where crops were an entire failure, in'such localities you can find fam ilies almost entirely destitute o f nourishment and clothing; yea, there are people right here In oar own city who are unable to help them selves, and are actual! and clothing.

Some o f the Churches here have taken tbe m atter In band, and are receiv ing donations from differ­ent States to supply the hungry and needy. So w , le t us see what the Spiritualists con do In tU iaiiae o f work, through our estate .Spiritualist. Association o f Nebraska, o f which I am Its re­cording, financial, and corresponding secretary. I w ill take pleasure In distributing a ll dona­tions a s each officer, and in the name o f the a s­sociation.

1 am anxious to know bow liberally our peo­ple w ill respond. Do not think it is or w ill be too late to send donations when yon read this. It Is claimed that w e have In the Spiritualist ranks not less than ten million follow ers In the

mends that hereafter all Spiritualists and spir-1 United S ta te s; i f th is be true, we should haveItoai societies adopt a fair bat very severe test o f their own to nil traveling mediums. That such a test be applied at the first seance given, and that the test be not the test o f the medium. Also that the medium be thoroughly searched before tbe seance begins. If Spiritualists will

m their eyes to m e necessity o f this action, ■Bey will find that a large number o f pretend-

■lag mediums wlU quit the business. The role ought to be adopted “false in port, fa lse in alL”

I When this Is understood by all It w ill have a tendency to make fraud disappear.

Tbe society o f Saginaw now fee ls that it w ill know for itself la the future whether honest means are used, or whether a smooth trick is being played upon an unsuspecting lot o f honest investigators oy a dishonest person In masque­rade.

If any Spiritualist thinks that th is communi­cation is written as a result o f personal preju­dice, be may write to me for a lis t o f names who will verify the above. G. EL Lu t h e r s ,

President o f the F irst Society o f Saginaw.

Escondido, CaLVery few o f the readere o f the Light or

Truth ever beard of Escondido or “hidden,” as its name Indicates; nor, to be more orthodox, “RIcod Del Diablo” (The Devil’s Corner), the name o f tbe old Spanish grant In which it is lo ­cated, but notwithstanding the name It Is a ver­itable Eden. And hidden as It is am ong tbe bills his “Satanic Majesty” thought It to be im possi­ble, as It seem s, for Spiritualism ever to find tbe beautiful “sun-kissed vale.” But Professor Loveland, tw o or three years ago, foond the place and delivered a few .lectures to a small bat intelligent audience. The seed be sowed, on account o f cold soil, was a long tim e coming up, but it Is grow ing and we hope tbe professor may live to come again and look after bis crop.

On tbe ev e o f tbe old year Miss Lydia W. Al­len, w hose parents reside a t Snmmerland, came among us. She is an unconscious trance speak­er, only seventeen years old, bat, notwithstand­ing her youth, she came (althongh w e told her there was “iota o f snakes” down here) and de­livered two very fine lectures, and secured the plaudits o f many—even those that are not Spir- Itaali8te . She started an organization of a sp ir­itual society which, I hope, w ill end in victqry for tbe caose o f truth in our beautiful vale. The first lecture w as upon tbe “Philosophy o f Life,” a subject se lected a t a sp iritual gather­ing a few eveo ings previous, and tw o questions given a t the c lose o f this su b ject; but there be­ing som e that thought she bad her “piece” well learned, w e concluded to change our tactics by having tbe audience choose the subjects, and several questions w ere given in which great In­terest w as m anifested with only one exception —tw o or three “smart alecks” had com e there, it seemed, to m ake fun, but they bad hardly begun before tbe lecturer (the control) gave them one o f tbe kindest and m ost withering re­bukes that ev er cam e through the lips of mor­tal. They were respectful daring the re st o f the evening. Miss Alien is s veritable giant killer, and may she be seen, lik e tbe picture of "Jack, tbe Giant K iller,” dragging in the head -of some giant error that has helped to keep tbe world for so long a tim e in darkness.

The new year, as i t were, has ushered in a new world Hill and dale is clothed with green, and she departed with regrets that she could not stay lo n g er; but she goes to friends in San Diego and National City who will kindly greet her.

I hope to see a good test medium also come to th is place and knock tbe props from under a few th at are almost persuaded. S. D. Nultox.

Tbe Lincoln Spiritual Lyceum is in a very hopeful sta te , and is conducted by a band of very efficient and enthusiastic young people, who are determ ined to m ake ft a su ccess. I would that every Spiritualist soc iety in the

Crime, injustice, and dis- sention ex ist everywhere, and out o f one Mother Church has evolved hundreds o f others. It doesn’t seem that Christ’s “Lovo ye one another" has been taken into practical con­sideration. Intolerance has stu ltified th is In­junction. But, said she, desp ite a ll differences in religious opinion, there has been an innate principle m anifest In man which has arisen above it all—even where it has been crushed under foot a s in Gnllileo's case, and that prin­ciple Is the sp irit o f progress.

—The First Christian Society m et a t Academy Hall, Sunday. February 17th. The fair day call­ed forth a large number who com pletely packed the hall. It Is a noteworthy fact that an unu­sual interest seem s to have evolved quite re­cently among those who know lit t le o f our phi­losophy. The subject o f man from his earliest conscious period to the present tim e—present­ing the inflaences that agitated bis breast and brought forth the inquiry i f “I die shall I live again"—was discussed by the speaker. The dec­im ating inflaences o f storm s and quakes, In connection with anim als and serpents, was argued as the principal ev o lv io g stra teg y and the faculty o f analytical thought in man. Thus through countless centuries he be­cam e the highest organized intelligence. The constant grind o f tim e show s that th is agitation is essentia l to propagate new ideas, and all the qualifications necessary for the temporal and spiritual progress o f the human race. Mrs. Josephine Ropp follow ed w ith 115 spirit tests . In concluding her control advised that she would love to g iv e each and everyone present a test, proclaim ing th a t she believes it to be the true w ay to ex c ite Into action Inquiry concerning the greatest tru th o f the age.
