FOUR VIEWS OF RELIGION,

A brilliant company assembled in Mr. Conrtlaud Palmer’« purloin In Gratnerey Park, New V ork^jfew weeks ago, to hear1 four view«of-religion. -Wo reprint-(be New York IForW* report.

The meeting was opened Ly Mr. Fulmer, who f‘X|ire-.*tHl the hope that in lhe discus­sion .of «o much cotirtety. indulgence and kmdlintop would Lie ihbwn m upon tlw occa­sion of Ur. Rylance's lecture on free thought Bonn« time «luce. "The four great religious theories to Ih* discussed ihia evening are Roiiuin Catholicism. the .«ect of unity »ml power; I’rolestamUni, founded upon a bust« of individual right; Judaism, fin* foundation of the other sects, anil different from nil in that It bus not for bend un ideal man eudi an Christ, Uuildha, or Mahomet, and Agnostic* Ism, the result of splentitlc thought. The great question of the century is. What shall we do lo be «Ftved'r” ‘ Mgr. Capet was then lntroduceil and said:

FROM A CATtlt/LIC STANDPOINT:Mu. Piidudknt: Yon did me the honor to in*

vita me to slate before the Nineteenth Cen­tury Club the principle on which the belief, of the Catholic Church rest«: then to allow that «talement to he freely discunaed, and Anally, to do*e the discussion hy n rejoinder from me. The frank, earnest way In which, air, your Invitation was made,» owed clearly it was prompted by no Itching for an intellect' uni tilt; and the motto of tbe club, "Prove all thing«; hold fast that which Is good,” indi­cated that your member« earnestly wish to know “whal'to truth.”

Yet I could not hide frpm myself that past experience proves the almost insuperable difficulty to get a satisfactory hearing for Catholicism, Prejudice and passion are pro­verbially deaf and blind. Unfortunately both have played a great part for the past four centuries in perverting the teaching of the Catholic Church and In attributing to her, doctrines she not only never held but which nhejiaa always repudiated. The past did not enedurage me much to enter the lists. How­ever, your courtesy, sir, assured me that I should have an attentive hearing. The lit­erary renown of your member* made me feel they would in common fairneas not under­take to teach me what is Catholic doctrine, but be good enough to accept roy statement of it as true, debating my exposition, not their preenficeired notion« of Hie faith. The Impregnable position of the Catholic -Church and her inexhaustible power for good redder her fearless, make her Invite discussion .seek Ing no favor, hilt fairness. These 'facpi In­duced me to arc**de to your request. My only and sincere regret i*, that a more competent , ' Cwcrthler champion has not undertakenthe contest.

The length of lime granted for statement and discussion will be best spent In'direct­ing all our attention to the foundations on which the grand soperstracture df Catholic faltli resls. And In doing ia of |Atra-monnt Importance that we UFO- mr words In the same sense and so have theSiaffle Idea In the mind. You mast, therefore, hear with me if I seem to lav undue stress on the sig­nification of certain words.

1, The Catholic Church maintain« that man is endowed with Intellect to know truth, with will to do good. He 1« gifted with reason which. nro<,»K Iti other capabilities and by its own power and light, can know of the existence of flod, of the immortsUty of man*« sottl and of mao:« responsible depend­ence on God. This constitute«, In other

word«, natural religion, and rests for It« ba­sis ou the intelligence and discursive power ■ >f the human soul.

1. The Catholic Church holds that ties Ides this natural knowledge concerning Hod, man's destiny and man s responsibility, there i« another hi sty of truth, called revelation, giving still more extensive knowledge con­cerning Hod and mrtn, This revelation dif­fer* essciitlajly from natural religion. Inas­much as it is no product of scientific re­search bill 1« Imparted hy And. it rest« not on the capability of reason hut on the veracity and gnodruk** of God. By such rev­elation Hip mind 1* confirmed in It* own su­pernatural knowledge, and t* further en­riched by truths roncxrnlng God ami man to . which reason by itself could never have at-.j laincd. .|

This revelation began with the promise of a Hedpeqo-r and ended with the ascension of Christ. All dogmas since formulated by the Church are hut explicit declarations of the several truths contained In revelation. We hold that such revelation Is embodied in cer­tain Inspired writings and traditions.

It is of grave import that wre bear la mind that .the Catholic Church tn speaking of God, manifested by reason and by revclutlbn is «peaking of a self-existing, personal being, really and essentially, distinct from the world, infinite in intelligence and will and In all perfections—til is personal Gpd creat­ing all uien to be saved, desiring the salva­tion of all, and putting within the reach of all the necessary help for such salvation.

3. The Church holds that between reason and revelation there upver can be any real discrepancy. Since the same God who gave the one gave the othi*r. Her** it Is imp »riant to remember the gulf' separating th*> fact* In -nature from the scientific theories ad­vanced hymen. The latter are oftentimes, from insufficiency of observation or other cause, crude, IriMcrurnte or false. To Hftplv theories the statement does not refer. We insist that between the fact .<nit taws In na­ture ¿oiiwn by reaJon amMdie itoctrine:* of revelation, there Is and never cun he antago­nism, Consequently that reason imi-t t>e the gainer m strength and direction by this new manifestation of God’* mind.1

■1. The dimness of man'* knowledge alsoat Ids Creator, the Weakness of until’« moral nature, the responsibility of man to God and the goodne«« and justice of man’* Maker not only rendered revelation possible but also necessary. And the Catholic Church hold«, that, revelation being made, there 1* the need of an authoritative teacher arid guardl an of It, so tlqit in all time*, fur nil person» and under all circumstances the individual mov know the leaching of God.

This implie* infallible or ravine authority, exercised though it lljav he throtigh weak, sinful, fallible agent3. The commission, uof the Individual, i* to he looked at. Reason Im* the right to examine the credentials of such commission, blit being convinced that the commission is genuine and ha* emanat­ed from God, who cannot deceive nor bo de­ceived, reason has but one duty—to accept the rups^tge, though it may b$ beyond the ken of Intellect.

Such, divine and therefore -infallible au­thority wa* given to the organio^xaiy called into existence by Christ, and which received on Peiitecoet Sunday as it* perpetual princi­ple of life the Holy Ghost. From that day forward u human-divine organIhiii existed on earth, easily discovered by the rock, Peter, on which it was formed ami by the mark« of unity, apoatollcJty, catholicity and holiness which are of the essence of its being and purpose. Thie-ls the. Church of Christ, the pillar and ground of truth. . »

TIUL PRQTKHTANT S1DK.At the clofSPbf Mgr. Cape!’« remark« the

Chairman Introduce*! the Her. Mr. Pullman, who spoke aa follows In defense of Protest­antism:

Tha Protestant Reformation was a turning back to reality. It broke up a vast God- monopoly that had usurped alt the powers and prerogative« of the divine being. Upon every instinct, emotion, power, aspiration and hope of man the Church of Leo X. had laid a tax no lesa profitable and oppm aifk than would be a tax on vital air. If some huge monopoly at this day were to get pos­session of all the breathable air and first tax and then adulterate It, we should have a not Inadequate illustration of 'the condition of thiog-j against which the mighty voice of Luther roee in protest. It was indeed a stroke for liberty against a bondage grown Intoler­able: butitfva* more than that. It was a demand for) reality—the thing that is— against all,pretense and unreality. Tbe «oul of Protestantism is sincerity, and Sincerity ■aTdno know* what morality is. A. coerced conscience la no con«clenre at all; murder 1« a worse crime than heresy. God’s law« can­not be bought off with money; sheepskin and ink do not ronvev God’s pardon. Bowed in the dust under ritual, form and creed, man once more beard the voice of God: "Son of* man. stand upon thy feet and I will speak unto thee.” /

The Ynglc of Protestantism became Ira. mediately visible in tbe Roman Catholic body In the shape of ethical Impulse. The Reformation rendered imperative those moral reform* that were absolutely Mwentiat to the continued existence of that £ody. Thus, in a very broad sense, the Protestant Reforma- tion was a Renaissance. That happened to organized Christendom which Chrlfdian doc­trine declares eaeentl*! to each individual soul—it was -torn again. But as the new birth does not Ileetrny the personal charac­teristic* in the individual, so neither .did it in the Christian bodies. The Romanist still

love* authority most; the Protestant still love* liberty most.

I deflne Prote*tanti*in t<> lw o spirit or temper of mind which love* reality and is loyisLto duty.

Htrlclly «peaking, there is no Pro lesta nl Church; nor I* t h e r e , except in name, any i*atholic Church. The Christian Church alone exist*, nnd a part t<f i t is dominated by the pint of liberty, «bother part i* dominateli

Tbe first question that naturally arise* In I considering this question. 1* whether there ever was *nch a person n* tfir St. Patrick ao highly e*tc»»ni<>d by our Iridi fellow citizens, especially atout ♦ be seventeenth day of March.

JO 1WJ, an old MS. w«,- found fit the Royal Library of Brussels, purporting to bea life of St. Patrick. Thi* wa probably written about the year'tu of the Christian Era, and wa* a hundred year- oltb-r than tbe “Book of Ar-

Patrick for two hundred year- after be iseaid i to have lived. In fact the early Pope* do not ‘ seem to have'bad as much fond lie«* .for The | Irish a* our modern politicians have, as no

It Is the Tudlvidilnl will, which constitutes the key, not only to tin* kingdom *>f heaven, hut likewise,-tu the kingdom of hell. It Is the righteous will of the individual spirit, com­manding obedience to *|Ulm> law, which opens to D the heavenly kingdom; ami it is the unrighteous, carnal, sensual, lustful will of the spirit, which open* tn it Its spiritual hell, by converting the soul Into a stale of antagonism and spiritual death. The key nr tlu- kingdom can be |HW«e*se<1 and exercised only hy each individual wul.* N’Q'tmecan de­termine against mV will, what shall he my Spiritual stain»; what shallbe my aspirations aud my desires.

And It is the Installation of this righteous wl I Lin the individual soul., which opens It to thelncomingof tlie heavenly king­dom, and enables It to say from It« deepest self, not my will, but thin*? be done. Ami that this righteous will may become installed as the ruling presence within, the unright­eous, the carnal, »ensnal and lustful will

. must be put down. With the uusplritmil man, this carnal and scn-umi« will Is in the ascendency. - It constitute« the strong m in armed, armed with love of self-indulgence, self-gratification, self-enjnytnclit. self-ndvan tflge and every other impulse and desire, which lends to antagonism with the spirit nf the virtues. Therefore,this strong man armed, with whom all are more **r less acquainted, must be bound and cast otit; ami his gu*ids must he destroyed,- before the good man of the house, the righteous will can have peace­able possession and occupancy. And In whose possession, ntld under whose power nre the means, by which this act of self submission to the divine will is to he performed? Is there a sout in the universe, who cannot If he will, yield, nnd become submissive aud obedient to the divine requirements, and thus become a subject of the heavenly kingdom? And la there a soul In the universe who can lie compelled against hi* will to become thus subject to the DlYllie Will? How I* It. then, that St, Peter or any other Saint, or any man or any lwdy of men, ran bold for me the keys of that kingdom which my will can unlock or can hick for or against myself, liy what authority anil power cati the Pope, or the Church of Koine, come between me ami the spirit of the unlvepre, and lulenllct the inllux of that spirit Into my thirdly soul, when, by my will, I have opened up my whole being to such tnilintuil all that is within ine responds to the heavenly presence.

It is claimed that Jesus, ns the Christ, gave into Ihe keeping of St. Peter, llte keys or tlu* kingdom, for the purpose of placing the spir­itual salvation of Indlvhlu U humanity In other bands than those In which the divine Father bail placed It. Such a claim put forth by one having true spiritual enlightenment, would he Ida-qitreiny against the Holy (ihost, whether committed hy pope, prelate, arch­bishop, bishop or pries I. As a dogma, there can he nothing which acts more directly ami successfully upon the Individual to keep hliu from coming to the Christ status, than the idea thut there may he another and an caster way to secure the blessings incident to such status. The evil consequences flowing from such a fnlth, both in the present nnd future life, cannot be overestimated. The sins, not to sm- tln> crimes, which this failli makes provisions for. In the estimation of the be­liever, will come to sli heavy on his soul, when he is least prepared to bear the burden. The doctrine 'taught by Jesus, which lias been construed Into (he dogma, that fit. Peter ami bis successors have been intrusted with the keys of the kingdom, and tlmt their doings In this respect are recognized aud sanctioned in the heavens, is this. According to the verbal statement in the. gospel history, Jesus told Peter that bln recognition of Jesus, ns the Christ, came, if at all, from the revealiugs of the spirit of the Father, Tlmt to know Christ, one must have the Inspiration of the Divine Spirit; and upon this «ource of 'Information, as the rock of divine truth, the Chrlstly Church was to be built. ^Cnderstandlng that the word Christ, spiritually, signifies com­pleteness of spiritual life and character; or the lml welling presence of the Divine Spirit, la the perfected human spirit, there will be no difficulty in understanding what consti­tutes the rock upon which the Chrlstly Church Is to be built, The Christ status, attained through perfect obedience of divine law, con­stituted Hre rock-which is fliri-t; dim! is, the conscious presence of.God in the human soul, outworking through the human, the di­vine will lu all thing". This spiritual rock, which is Christ, aiguilles God dwelling Cifli- fldo mly lji the human spirit, imparting of his life; of his love, of his wisdouKatid of bis will. It Is God in Christ reconciling the-world unto himself. This same truth Jesus uttered In concluding his sermon on the Mount. Said he, he that henreth these sayings *>f mine an» doelh them. I will liken him'uulo a wise man, who built his house upou a rock; and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wind» blow-, and they beat upon that house, and It fell not because it was founded upon a rock.

Look back through that entire sermon, and ascertain what the sayings of Jesus wyre, which. If a man heard and kept, would estab­lish his foundation upon the rock of eternal truth, and you find nothing about St. Peter being the custodian of the keys of the king­dom, or about the Romish Church becoming the rock upon which the Chrlstly Church Is to bo built. In that sermon. Jesus .enumerated everything which lie deemed essential to one seeking the kingdom of God and his rlghleous-

. Jteea; but yon will look in vain to And any of the dbgtiuH of the Church therein. All men are Invited to come to that spiritual state Which will enable them to receive the Influx of the Divine Spirit, as an abiding and airin- sptririg presence, giving thus of hi* Infinite fullness to each (foul according to Its capacity to receive of the same.

This Ideal and fictitious personality called the Roman Catholic Church, is Impiously

th rift between the soul nml that «idrllusl slate essential in ils individual spiritual com­pleteness; and those who have lallh In her pretension« feel themselves excused from seeking that status, which 1» to bring them lilt** a state of oneness with the spirit of the universe. Thiitapirltunl fiction says, harken unto my teachings, Instead of IMening to the touching* of Jesus; come unto me, Instead of coming unto Christ; trust tn the dogmas of the Church, instead of being lead by the inspiration of the spirit of truth.

The inspirational faculty in mail allies him intimntely with spiritual being» In thesphere just above him, anil more remotely, hut none the less surely, with those of spheres beyond; even to tin* lie I fie. "Who shall separate ns from the love of God?" said an inspired apos­tle. Aye. who,shall sever the cord that binds man lit his lowest estate to the Father of all —the Father, who, as surely, through the chain of forces expressed lu the gradation of spheres nnd of spirits or angels in the spirit­ual universe, Is connected with man in the physical stifle, its tlmt the rentrai orb in a system of wort*!« Is connecte*! with every world developed through Its Instrumentality, near or remote?. Physical laws have their concomitant« in

spiritual law», the inter-dependence nnd iu- ter-actlon between -the two being as perfect us between spirit nnd matter, between life and the form« It animates. The law of at­tractive force, whereby is expressed the rein- tlonshlp of wnfjils aud the unity of the uni­verse, has Its concomitants 111 the law of ■ af­finity which nlllcsGnd a« Superior Sptrit.with all spirits below this. Indeed, spiritual af­finity Is all affinity; nml the law of love dif­fer« from Iheufilnilfesof matter only as mi ml di(Tendfrom the vital essence« of gross sub- stauce..^-Like seeks It-* like and, embraces It. like tlie lover hi» mate, |u the material World through the interaction of magnetic forced which vitalize substance, these force« being spiritual essenqps eo operating wltli material, as the vital agencies in matter.

Spirit I» never dissevered so completely from matter that these related elements do not commingle a« the basic condition of ac­tion. of life, in all grades of substance and of being, from lowest in highest. It 1« a fonda mental principle of the Spiritual Philosophy, that the inode of life nnd action 1« on** through - mit the universe, and that this mode isexhib- ited on every separate plane of life, as upon every world in space. It must ts* evident to every thinker, Ibnt there cannot tie one inode *>f action, or one principle underlying life in physical nature, nnd niodher 1n spiritual, and tin* two plane* eo-operato a« they do f*«r the evolution and perpetuation of life In l*>th.

This question 1« for Hiefcnnshleriitiutt of such as concede the existence of spirit and Its intimate rotation« with matter. Ultra-mate­rialists and religionist« of the Christian or­thodox school will, a* a matter nf course, find no nlllnlty between their views of Inspiration mid spiritual laws, and those here expressed. Nevertheless, some of their expressed formu­las nf belief ultimate in these principles, if they ultimate anywhere. God. the author of life aud law: this 1« part of the Christian'* creed, and muter la I Ism of one school dix*« not entirely lose sight of, or Iguoje the idea. This idea I» equivalent to the-followliig: Superior Spirit Is the prompter to universal action. In different phrase, tills signifies that God Is the superior positive farce of nature, the grade of spirit, whose rejetions upon inferior na­ture prompt I** perpetual activity of ml ml and matter, through laws originating in Dilelli genre, God, the lawgiver or the author of Jaw. Is the Supreme Intelligence outworking itself in an Intelligent manner upon matter, the body of Deity, as the universe has been appropriately called. This mode of art bin |s —must be—as eternal as the being of Deity, as God Is only God by virtue of hi« attribut*"« exhibited, outwrought. In nature. So. it has been mild that God Is law. In a strict sense this 1« correct; and yet U does not signify that law Is not applied intelligently, or can- uot be applied at the will of Intelligence, to bring about purposes which intelligence con­ceive«.

That there Is method in God*« government, a science, a nliUosopïïÿyJn it Mat can be ex­plained, as the physical\lence« cau be. and upon the basis of ascertained facts and Jaws, doe* not militate against tnV divine perfec­tion, or make the name of Gbd less «acred. Let us Inquire bow It can be tlmt God Is in all things—is the life of all that is, furnishing ih*' impulse to life In universal nature. It can only be in the one way recognized in a matuier by all religionists—hy the universal

• d Illusion ol htssmrJt. This can only mean, when rightly comprehended, that this spirit is a something which ftin lie diffused; an es­sence nr ether that vltallr.-s all that Is. It can only mean, that from the sphere which Is DelQc—“the Setisnrtum of the universe." ns it has been termed by iiuother writer—are dif­fused the essence* which find their affinities in nil matter, nil forms of ilfe.from lowest to highest. It mean* that there is not an atom, a molecule or n form, that does not embody In germinal form atom« of this Dei Be ethereal essence, aud which, hence, is the life-element of It. Why do the atoms aggregrale? What I» the force which ultimate» in the accumu talion of molecule«, Into all the Infinite num­ber of forms of matter nnd variety of form*? And what I» it that make« a human brain an active center of Intelligent force, whereas, lower, form* eihbody only what 1« termed In­stinctive force? The answers to the«« queries are apparent. The activities of atoms and molecules portray the affinities of matter— the force reaching from the spirit side oi life, who*« ultimate is the evolution of the order which 1.« an attribute of Deity; or. in other words, whose purpose is this evolullon.whlch Implies design. This order I» evolved grad­ual!/ as matter progresse*, becoming more and more ausccptibj* to developing forcea.iind more rap Idly .a:-* force* are developed to co-op­erate, tliu* revealing the law of progress. A humau being embodies more of the Dclflc. principle than any other form; the human brain attracts brain force*, whereas lower forms of life and form* of matter attract gerant of their like, from earners Id the 8u-

perlor sphere pertaining to all like form* that go to make Up. clothe and people the sphere, these essences likewise vitalize*! with Dtdflc brain force, whence originate*all force. The pattern of alt thdt is in spirit, or germinal life could not outwork form a« 11 doe«, and the variety of form» lu nature. Tlie germ embodies the pattern, and that germ prima­rily having spirit in th*< ascendency; thl« 1« the principle. The slim nf fne whole matter I* this: evolution Is only poH«ilde hy the law which makes forma of matter and of life matrices for the incarnation of gertiiH of tills original life element, which la proportioned to fit the varieties of substance mid form* in nature by the original law of ultrnHivc force, whereby like forever seek* It« like,

■'Variety Is tip* spice of life," it I* «aid. It Is nature'« economy, the foundation principle of life, being unstamped upon primeval mat­ter in its chaotic state, as It exist« m spirit. Vhence, ft* slated, originate* the pattern of matter and forms. The two Interacting prin­ciples or element« which compose nature— the universe, are as necessary lo each other a* the soul nnd body are in the physical state. The nrtor am! the acted upon, each necessary, to promote the activity of the other, 1* the eternal order.

/This brings us back to the consideration of the law of inspiration, which fallows from the foregoing principles, ft Is tho law of spirit­ual life, the inode, whereby the mentality nml «piriluulily Of physical man nml man iii Hie subordDirtte grades of spirit-life. I n *t I rutilated from the Deilic fountain of force. Dy It every plane of life receives its du>* proportion of stimulation to life, nnd every Individual on the several planes. Inspiration is to man’* mentality, what the rain, the dew aud the sunshine are to aurface life. Coming from spirits of the grade Just above, it Is charge*! with a higher spirituality, from Intelligence «till higher, thus becoming u vehicle for germs of highest thought, whereby they may reach the jowly minds of earthly men; as the moisture and the sunlight are the media for the transmission of vital ether« to surface forms. Physical man, the lowbst lu the scale, receives nf this spiritual stimulation till he I* capable of appropriating.

Related to materiality ns physical man I*.- hi* sphere is repellent <*» spirits, but the positive will of the latter, overcomes this negative condition sufficiently, to satisfy the law' of 1 ti ter-coin mil n I cation.

In offering for the cblmnns of Ihe J ournal the following striking illustration of the close conned ion of.the crimes of earth with the retribution«of thehpreafler.a briefatate- ment of the case,a* RTias generally been un­derstood In thiiclVy, seems necessary. It is as follows:

On the 20th of Oct., lB8f>, a man named George A. Wheeler, deliberately murdered by strangulation, his wife'« sister, Delia Tllson. the claim, as subsequently advanced, M ug that this was by mutual agreement of the parlies rather than that they should submit to an Impending separation from the crimi­nal connection existing between them.The ex- iremc atrocity nnd ununturalues.« of thlKcrlme made the plea of insanity a specious one, and hence the eu«e lingered In our courts for more than three year«; but at length a final conviction was reached, and on tlie 2,'trd of Jan., Ih-Tl. Wheeler was executed according to law. I will now give tho passages from my stance-journal Immediately related to the above, premising that It 1« imperfect accor­dance with the general action of our spirit band, that unique cases of the kind—criminal or otherwise—should be promptly sought out and wisely treated through (Vie remarkablecapacity nf our medium:

Jaii.&Rh, IhSL To-day, much to our sur-

Erise a recently executed criminal whh rought and placed en rapport with the me­

dium, the exprewdnn of whose fa ce under thl* control, was, at'first, that of deep, agonizing emotion. Themcame the following:

"I have chosen my fate tp cornu back lo earth and work out m own salvation, I ab­hor myself with all the loathing one I* capa­ble of conceiving, I am breaking from the control of Jesuitical influence of priest and dayman. It came to me lu my last hours,offer­ing me pardon; but there 1« ho such thing as pardon!

True, the last days of my life were «punt In prayer and médita luu, and priests of the Catholic school told me that, with their »«slstsnce I could find re­deeming grace in Christ. But no sooner waa l released from Hie physical form, and come into the light spiritually, than 1 saw it was an utter Impossibility for me lobe wived from the wrongs of my life In any other way than through purification or sanctification, and oo I have been brought here Jo day to make a be- InnlDg In the light of reason aud common ease; lo try to uriderstaud with the help of

Feb. l«t>\At this, our next stance, wu were «till more sufjujHed by ri visit from IhMfictiin of tills munlerervATheeler. What noiv came was In the followlngsjyords:

*'H, keep this lo yoiTrself! Don’t let my friends know that 1 am still with Wheeler. \Se were not prepared (<* separate tn such un unnatural manner. I could not be released. 0, release me, rideose tue! For these weary mrtuth-* 1 have been wauderjAg In the dark­ness; no relsHHe. no comfoVT. If there 1» any comfort for «uch oh me. give me directions how to find It, Oh! you «ay I was wayward, and trilled with the best principles of life. Why was It ho? I want lo know the cause."

This qui'Htioutng was addressed to Rplrlt helpers near at hand. After a response from them Inaudible to mo—the subject contin­ued: *'<Ril I inherited, In a degree, the very elements that carried me down, through tho Influence of a more depraved creature than myself. Hb! Ihe love of flattery, the love nf ndinlraHim, how they told on my life! Let me forget U and go Into darkness! I cannot bear the light."

“1 am told that if 1 will but once look upon the full bearing of my life, I shall sue how Ican be release*! from the terrible agony.......I'nirifluenced by a stronger will, 1 had led a different life. Yet 1 do not feel willing thal another should bear the blame; -let It cornu upon me! Spare him who was maddened. Let this be a work of my own, to suffer and free myself: and lot that other go free. I will ask for no'more,.. .No! I am wrong, wrong again.1 have an immortal soul from the hand« of my Maker, and am .accountable to him for the condition he finds me in. I want lo pray.btit dare the»u lip« plead for pardon; In ask for a blessing? 1 will nsk tlmt ;i may know theright, and be nble to do I t__ O, I um showna way out!

Tho spir­itual light* all arotrtfdrnp. show me that I have «tilnrii opportunity to know, the rigid, and to do It."

"How much I want to know! Have I been God's child all the««, years, and was Jet fall Into temptation anil suffering to become Strong? Gracious and pure being«, you have not deceived me? It Is true that 1 may go to work from this lime, and struggle to over­come nry evils and imperfection; and when I have become pure and ripe for a blesslne, I shall be shown how to help others wherein I my-elf wa« weak. 1 am s**rry there are other« who must need such aid; yet I have learned Hint out of suffering cametnlight;Hiid through the suffering of weakness] learn mystrengtb. and I rejoice mid bless God for my life. I can now tie ftlml to see myself a« I am. and It shall rest with me to overcome."

I now endeavored by questioning, to obtain further light In regard to the singular devel­opment« of thl* case. The substance of what I thus received from the wisdom of our baud, was that, from the first, the victim was so completely under the psychological control of her paramour, that her own self-will was, for the time being, lost; what was done, ap­parently with her consent, was not In reality from her independent individuality, further: the action *>f lh|« law of mental control con- tiuuCd. not only while tlie controlling mind was still in the earthly, ami the other lu the splrit-llfe, but also after both had passed out of the earthly existence; and it wa« now the great agony of the victim lo escape from thi* lantrot. in order, as it jfTiuhl seem, that she might leave her evil* behind, and rise Into a higher amt more peaceful condition. That this release wa* not accomplished at once, In the present mental state of both the parties, was owing not to a want of disposition on the part of cither, but simply to the deficiency of a right understanding, hy Hie paychologixer, nf tho proper method of release. In other words, he hud not yet learned how to undo the knot of hlH own tying. And all thl«, a* I was given to understand, was In strict accord­ance with a natural spiritual law, the Im­portance of which made It right that the case should la? published in full for the benefit es­pecially of those still lu the earthly life.

A Dog Saves Another Dog’s Life,

nold'rt chair factory, tell« a wonderful dog »lory. Hih' day lately, he was looking out on the river from an upper window of the fac­tory when he discovered n dog In the ferry track, struggling hard to get out. Tho dog would swim along the edge of the ire, then get both fret on 3t, and raise himself partly out of the water and fall back. Thu animal did thl* once or twice, when another dog was seen hurrying to the spot. The Utter adzed the half-drowned dog by the neck and pulled and tugged ahtay, "aluly endeavoring io haul him o u l He got him nearly out twgor three tiniea, but each time he dropped buck.

Men shall sec Visions.

TlY DR. S. 4. DICKSON.

t do not quote these lines because they are contained lu this ur that ttonk, hut bemuse lo dream dream« nml to see visions, has been the experience of all ages. Not only have old men dreamed dreams nnd young men seen visions but both old and young men, women ntid children, have been subject to Ihesu ex­periences since (he individualization of the race. But probably visions in tlu«s>> after * limes havu attracted tbe attention of'thinking minds more than at any other period.

So furffis my own experience and observa­tion extend». Hi r<>ugh visions, spiritual truth* and uioterial events are given in a figurative 1 manner, which, all are awn re who have, con­sidered the subject,1« the most adequate lileth odnf presenting much in a little;hut we a l­so realize liotc Inadequate our written lan­guage Is tp present the experience of one mind so a* to be fully comprehended by that of another.

But nolwithstandlng (hlii fact, I now pro­pose, with your approval, to give flora time to time some of my own experiences under this tread, to the rend of« of your worthy pa­per. commencing with the following:

While attending school in the year slxty- Ihree or four, after having wrestled with my Greek until the short hour* of Hie night, l committed myaelf to the arms of Morpheus, under whose benign influence I remained un­til thu dawn of the morning, at which timu the following vision came before me: 1 wa« leisurely walking upon a street' which led a« an Inclined plane a distance of alsuil one hundred yard« D* iny mother'« home. On bear­ing footstep* upprimching. Z turned and saw five beautiful while horse* prancing along single breasted, while it lovely boy rested up­on Hie back of the last horse, who. ns Ire pass­ed. smilingly asked If I would not like to ride,I gave him a negative answer, a* on they went until they nenrly reached my old home, at which point thu horses all rose upon their’ hind feet, In a circle, wfillu the hoy fell be­neath their fore feet, I sprang t** bis rescue, but ere I reached the spat, he had been crush­ed Into thu earth, and n shock, a« of spirit power, came over me. as much as to any .“take note of tilt«.” I resuiifl'd my normal statu under thu most serious conviction thal ray little friend had passed to spirit life, and ini- inedlatelV wroto homo lo that effect, I also state*! to a classmate what I had seen. Three or four day» passed, ami a loiter cam»* from my mother saying, "You will be surprised to lenru that little Dicky is dead."

Now for the sequel: Tho morning of my vision, a little cousin awoke, exclaiming to his mother, "I must go down to grandpapa'« to day." She tried to dissuade him. but In vain; hence, being impressed by Ills manner ami earnest ness, that Hie child'.« pleadings were not without meaning, she conformed to his request. The grand father*« home being beyond that of nyf mother's, tho mother and child had to pas-foYer the way where 1 was during the vision, and a* they npproaehcd the Ktot where I saw tire horses form a circle, bringing the flr«t horse next to the last, thus slum lug the journey complete, and the boy, who sat on the rear horse, fa ll—there my lit­tle friend was struck with a sickness unto death. There were five beautiful white horses. The boy was five years old. He,was a* far In advance of his ago in spiritual and mental development a» tlid horses were superior to the common horse, Hu had always enjoyed Hie best of health.

A few day« prior to hi« death, while in tho forest with his fattier, he thus exclaimed: "Papa, how- do you know there lwsuch a place as heaven?"

HI* father replied: "You know what we rend?"

"Yes, I know what we read," «aid the little philosopher; "but do you know of anybody who ha« been there and c**iuc hack again?"

His father inquired: "Dicky, why do you a*k mu such question*?"

Hu replied in a very earnest manner: "Be- causu I am going there tn a few days and I want t*> know all about It."

He did go, a* shown in my vision, qnd has returned lo tire shire, -<1111* ehowiug that though absent In form, our loved one* do not forget their friends who Huger beneath the shadows.

lint Notwithstanding thu predictions of tho«« gouo before, nnd notwithstanding their frequent return to re-assure us of their contin­ued uxlalenre and love, may we not «till «um up tbe prevailing inquiry In the one sen­tence: “Do you know of anybody: who has been there nnd cornu back again?” Aitd this i* why we strive to scatter here aud \ttrere a beacon light, perchance j i may prove ns a guiding star to some wandering »mill to that haven nf light, in which, all are enabled to exclaim, “Now wiHruow of a fact, that If a man die he «half l lw ” or in dither words, "That death 1« not’Tpdtsinnl sleep,, (jor lire grave. igsB’s UnjiFgaalA But though V« lay mTthlsvmortirlcoiT.yAlietanlrU will forever aScetyJTo new an*Hmprovc*Fcondlilmis(puue- tratlug deeper and deeper into the more sub- He beauties and grnudeu? of the spiritual kingdom no long a* the wheel of lime shall continue to roll on the high ways of eternity.

Mr. M. A, (Oxon.) relates, as follows, a curi­ous Incident In Light of London, Illustrating lire fact that death does^aot always occur when the unexpected "apparition" of a per* sou still living suddenly put* In an appear­ance, a long distance from Ills physical body;

"A lady with a family of young children wa« occupying a house In Cheltenham, while tbe husband and fathrr wa« absent on busi­ness in Scotland. Looking out of the win­dows of a back drawing-room upon a «matt garden, which communicated by a door with a back larre» several of Ihe children saw the garden door open and- their father walk through and come towards the bouse. They were surprised because they were not expect­ing their father’s return; but uttering a shout of joy, several of the party ran downstair«, there to find, to their disappointment Bud Bor­row, that no father had arrived. So «trong was the Illusion that when the father did re­turn, a week or more afterwards, he was re­proached for having played sum** trick of which he wa* perfectly Innocent. There were no consequence* that «mb! he tracid; and the appearance wa* seen by several persons.”

Another Symposium.

Religious symposia are lho fashion of the time. They break out la etutm, magazines ami review«. The latest won at a meeting of the Nineteenth Century Club in the parlors of Mr. Courtiami Palmer in-New York City. Elsewhere In this Issue of the J ournal, ap­pears the best report of this which has come to hand. We have examine') the reports in several of the New York papers, and as they agree in the main, It 1« probable that they are substantially correct, At this meeting, Mgr. Capol spoke /Or Catholicism; Etev. J. M. Pullman fUnlversalist) for Protestantism; Rabbi Gutthei) for Judaism; and Mr. T, B. Wakenmn for Agnosticism.

Mgr. Capel first throws a sop to the Nine­teenth Century by saying that "the Catholic Church maintains that man Ts euilowod with, intellect to know truth, with will to dp good,” which leads to natural religion. Then he goes on to affirm an infallible revelation superior to human reason, mid mv infallible church to declare what thify- revelatifin teaches, lie keeps to the safe old doctrines, and to the venerable, well-tried statements. Grant Ills premises and there is no escape from his conclusions. It is In ils premise« that Catholicism must be attacked and slain.

Unfortunately Mr, Pullman went to the meeting with a paper to read, instead of an -alert mind to answer the speech of the Cath­olic. He failed 1r overthrow the premises of

•r'Mgr. Capel, and houce left the advantage with tho latter. Mr. Pullman's paper is able and eloquent, but Illogical and false. Hts definition of Protestantism has nothing that

■ characterizes Protestantism any more than Intelligent and «lucero Romanism. Moham­medanism, Judaism or Brahmanism. These all "love reality and are loyal to duly.” It Is hardly probable that Protestantism has waited 330 years to'accept Mr. Pullman’s

^definition of it, which does not.represeul the thought of one Protestant in live hundred. His deOultlon accords neither with tho f^cts of history nor with the present position of Protestantism. As u matter of fact the Pro­testant Church is bused on authority as sure­ly as the Catholic. The Romanist accepts the authority of theChurch. The Protestant accepts the authority of the Book. The gen-

\u lue Romanist does not quartlou the word of the Chnrch; for him it Is lho>ord of God.

* The genuine Protestant does not question tho word of tho Book; for him that is the word of God. "The Bible, and the Bible onlV, U tho religion of Protestants " We cannot see that the Protestant has the advantage In this. Indeed the authority of a living church la preferable to that of a dead book turbldly transmitted to ua through two or three lan­guage« and translation«. Mr. Pull man’« paper is in no sense the antidote to Mgr. Capel'« speech. It la In no sense a statement of the Protestant position. It contain« eotne truth, but U la the truth of Christian Ration­alism. which 1« a very different thing from Protestantism. By hi« attempt to put Ra­tionalism for Proteetfutiem he haa muddled and been false to both.

Rabbi GottheU made a forcible speech. .He is a modern Jew, and the modern Jew Is a product of the modern spirit. He believes, Indeed, that God reigned lu the poet; but he belleTee. also, that God reign» to-day. He ts one of the beet exponents of rellgioue Ra­tionalism. Rabbi Gotthell admitted the good

in every religion that lias morality fur II* ba3ls. He attacked and demolished the main assumption of the Catholic, which nffirms the absolute necessity of a supernatural ami Infallible revelation. In doing this lie also overthrew the basis of Protestantism, for this also'has for Its chief corner stone the Infal­lible revelation. The keen spiritual Insight of David and Isaiah Is not darkened in some of their modern descendants. The rational­istic Jew, when he shall also become spiritu­alistic, w ill be again among 1 lie prophets.

Mr. T, R- Wakemau spoke for Agnos1irl*m, His speech was flippant ami shallow, un­worthy of the company, and the occasion, and tho reverent and learned Agnostic« whotu ho mis represented. It has tho lusuffer-

.flbif air of ieIf-conscious superiority so oflell seen lu the judf-styleil and self-sal Is [led Rad­icalism of to-day, which skims over tho sur­face and then claims to have got down to the roots. T \

It Is a happy W en when a brilliant com­pany, of very diverse faiths, assembles to hear four speakers state the foundations on which they build. If, perchance,' all the speakers fail, thoughtful men will be led to look for those dee per foundations which these speakers have not yet reached, In this sym­posium In Mr. Palmer’s parlors the courtesy nnd the learning were with the Catholic and the Jew, Mr. Pullman failed because his plea was for Christian Rationalism, which is not Protestantism at all.

They all failed to reach the living springs of religion. Those springs lie in man's spir­itual nature, and In the conscious commun­ion of mim's spirit with that Spirit of whose thought the whole universe Is but ail expres­sion. Tin? comtuuulon of npirlt with spirit Is the essential element in religion. With­out this no religion can permanently secure the love nnd loyalty of man, nor lead him to the highest life.

Ignorance in a Lcn/ueil l'roresriun.

Last winter the Michigan medical men got a doctor’s law passed at tho last end of a leg­islative session, under which all diplomated physicians must register, nnd be licensed to kill or cure scientifically. Now oomes the Detepit Post and Tribune, a leading daily newspaper,, and speaks right out os follows:

*’Aji rlamination of Hie |iht*lclan-.« reclutfr In the of- Her of tfre count* cietk reveal* unnr imsrejittnit thine«, nnd thoM of a onrtoiL* <U*po*ltlon who have the iVir wilt rlmJnn hour well »pent In nst'ims taequalltkAtl'iii* of i»mctuinrrer,< a» there eiiiteuced In ihe ulmtHe mai- Urof rejflRtertnj:. Baida prominent phr«cl,ui vuVer- dll) Id tho IWuwf Trltniiif reporter. ’-You have looked Ihmusb the file«, and I dare ear have been aitouLthed. im! wo*, lit wmi of the blunder* made in,the ilmpln ■iiatt'ir of reeWerlrut l,r men who protend to have tho educatJon needed In a profession which Involve« the iwscmitan of Hie. You have seen doctor*, pmctlelnjj lodor. who were nb'liscd to have other» shtn Ih'-lmamc* -for them while thrr made their ckms." The reporter ncknowlrdffM sueh wiu the fact nnd recalled the roiu- inentnrj written on the re«lsler beneath Ihe »hnintore of a well known doctor, name I*; "ft Is a great inLsftir-tune to ilie huuniri la roll r that diploma* dp n»l furnish brains as well n* suthorltrio pmctleetbe tlirfre treat professions, Medicine, f aw and Theologj."

Education.

According to Plutarch, Lyeurgu« built Ills State oil the education of its citizens, think­ing that, "the habits which education-pro­duced in youth would answer J^nach the purpose of a la w g iv e r ..F o r lie resolved the whole bn «In ess of legislation into the bringing up of youth.” The wisdom of this measure 1« as apparent to-day as lit the time of the Spartan «age; in fact there is greater

■ necessity of education as the activity of hu­man life Increases, and events follow each other more rapidly. The higher tension de­mands a more complete culture for achieving the harvest It presents. The education of the people 1« the duty of n free government; for that a government of the people cannot rise a I sive the moral and intellectual condi­tion of tho people, needs mi affirmative argu­ment;. ami equally self-evident is the »tate- mont {hat the permanency and advancement of sncli^jqvernmeat depends on th$ educa­tion of the pfajde. /

If the State Jfcqores this duty,-jit fosters one of Its greatesr'datiger«, for thereby the ignorant class Is increased, and on the pur­ity and intelligence of the voter depends the State. A Sla^n with Ignorant rulers Is in Constant danger, and myth more Is this In­creased when every citizen Is a ruler by pow­er of his vole, If such voters arc Ignorant amt corrupt.

The necessity of education 1« continaousr for in each child It comes to the front. The child begins nt the dawn of civilization, and the history of the race Is repeated lu tho de­velopment of every human houI. The child, left ignorant, neglected in poverty, nnd crushed^ under the heal of power, remains brntftl, savage, and the State bus everything to fear from such. The child of to-day 1« the citizen of to-morrow. Tits history of tho fa- lure is jrocked In the cradle of infancy. The child by birth 1« heir to the knowledge of the present. He has a right to know all that is to lie known, and enter unfettered the race of life. The glory or shame of the future depends on the perfection of this education. It must partake of the nga in practical char­acter, and be alive to the great question« of tho present as well a« concerned with the achievement« of the past.

Bacteria as Scavenger«.

J. W. Clarke, author of a wilier peculiar book entitled -'(Jnjritr-PfiTtt]etns Explained," takes htriifoTifld in »recent article, that bac­teria are scavengers of the blood anil so a blessing rather than parasites. In hi« opin­ion "It Is evidently an error and a mislead­ing mistake to apply the word ' parasite ’ as a nnme for the fungus bacterium, a« num­bers of veterinarians have long been and are still doing, as though they wero unable to recognize, or had not yet suspected, the clear­ly existing and radical differences between animal parasites that subsist upon a pure or ordinary quality of blood and the various forms of bacteria fungi that are found In cattle nftected with fever that results from the fermentation of excretory materia]—that which should ho discharge*! from the blood by expiratory breathing—that is retained in the circulation, and of course occupies a por­tion of the «pace required for blood of some assimilable quality.1' He adds: *

“When It is found there is but little poieoti- •him mutter in the blond for the fungi to in­crease with, the poisoii'ofgauizing scaven­gers, bacteria fungi, increase onlv slnwly, and ore only active lit intervals when there Is more nr Jess noxious material or accumu­lated poisonous matter In the blond for them to organize. Hence, while blood-consuming parasites subsist continuously without peri­ods of Intermission the blood of thouni- mals they prey upon, til« scavenger fungi, bacteria, are Utcul or do not develop In the blood when there Is not sufficient poisonous mutter to Insure any appreciable Increase of these poison-organizing blood scavengers.”

The theory agrees with certain facts, as most theories do, blit It may bo some time before "number« of veterinarians and such men as Pasteur aud.Koch will ludnrsb the views of tho gentleman who declares that contagious pleuro-pueumonla Is caused by ‘crown poison.'"

A writer In tin1 Cleveland Herald tell« ua of some popular errors In regard to the mi­croscope.- He says: "One very old one and very common one is that every drop of water wo drink ts teeming with animal life. There never was a greater mistake. It Is very rare­ly, indeed. In lake water that any anlmalculai are to he found. If a Ijftle bit of grass, or shred of meat, or any organic matter be left In water for two or three days there they can be found. It is supposed that a peculiar kind of organism like eels can be found In vine­gar. it may be that way back in the coun­try, where they make vinegar out of apples and not outuf aquafortis, there maybe some, ■bat they don’t seem to thrive In d ty vinegar. Another thing, people think that hairs are hollow. The hair 1« no moYe bollo'w than a feoce-post; and the coloring matter, Instead of belngjllled in a tube, la mixed up In the celia of the hair. The mistake never would have occurred If It had been recollected that the haitds but a modification of the epider­mis. Then there is another Idea that the human skin Is os full of pores ad a sponge." Tho fallacy of this idea was demonstrated by the mlcroacopiBt taking a slice f t th a razor off his hand and .patting It onjurtide.

B¥ GEO. W. WKBSTKB.

The growing power of railroad, banking and other moneyed corporation», jnnlly al-

' tract» the attention of phiianthroptata and statesmen, causing apprehensive fears as to what may be It» ultimate effect upon the con­dition ami welfare of society. Many prophesy anarchy, bloodshed and the overthrow of the oppressive corporations by violence. To my mind the danger due» not lie In that direction, though it ia not improbable that there may be a communlMtic feeling eu(Helent to occa­sionally produce Hpstsmodlc effort» at revolu tion and riot, to be speedily put down by the strong, conservative hand of law. Rather may we look for ..‘lill further centralization of money power and Incriuise of oppress ion. It 1» patent to every intelligent observer that labor 1» waging a very unequal contest l*U1l Capita!. Vanderbilts, Goulds and Actors are piling up their hundreds of million», nearly every cent of which Is the direct produce of other men'» labor: which, considered legally. Is right, but considered morally, la robbery and vampirism. It 1» very easy to see how Intelligent cooperation among the laborers might vastly Improve their condition. Far­mers. by -establishing co-operative fariti-vil lagee, centrally located on tracts of land not more than two miles aquare, couldieo-n|<ernte In the purchase and use of machinery, nnd in <?»tHbliN,hing cream. rlt-«, inimnfarUring and repair shop«, schools and libraries, nnd at the same time greatly Improve their social con­dition. Mechanics and operatives in cities could secure as great benefits for them wires, nud all dosses working together could con­trol the HUbject of transjs>ratl6n, and In many other way» secure to labor a just share of it« productions. Many, seeing how these finds might be attulueil. have ¡•pent years of hard, unselfish labor, In trying-to nfalize such a consunimatlou, but their efforts thus far have not been crowned with success. Why have alt such enterprises failed? Why Is labor every year rnory and more, oppressed, while wealthy corporations are constantly increasing llihir hundreds of millions?

The fault lies with tin? working classes themselves, in their ignorance, their adlLsh- n«w, and want of rectitude. The almost nnl-

'rersul prejudice against manual labor and In favor of’Home more genteel pursuit, is si ' a very strong factor in producing the present condition of thing». M ho Tor a moment would assume that labor could not taka care of It- aelf, if all laborers had a good practical edu­cation, were thoroughly trained and skillful in any work they might wish to pursue, and at the same time were honest and unselfish, willing and arndous Lu work, not only for the good of themselveSfgid their own families, but also feeling a patriotic Interest In the general welfare of society?

If there were to be a general and equal dis­tribution of ail the property in the country to-dny, it would bo but 11 Abort time before there would he nearly as much difference In the financial romlitkm.bf Individuals as there Is now. A life of idleness and extravagance will rapidly dissipate-the largest fortune. Only a sum 11,pro purl ton of the laborers or this country have a good common school education. Their children run in the streets. They do not want to go to school, hut are ready to smoke cigars, drink beer and whiskey, and form habits which destroy the life forces, or they waste their earnings in worse,than use less expenditures. They gmw up without be­coming skilled in any kind of work, anil con­sequently have to work for Itur wages.

There 1« enough money spent for strong drinks and tobacco alone to clothe and edu­cate every child in the land. Of course these sweeping charges are dot Intended to apply to all htuorers, but every intelligent person knows that they-will apply to a very large class. There is also a large class of temperate. Industrials and honest lnborer»,who,alt hough

Hhey do not have, the opportunities they should have, are rupli|ly acquiring g<**l homes and surrouudiag themselves with luxuries. Two hoys in the same school may have the same opportunities for education; one » umbltioua to win honorable distinction, to become a useful member of society, lie studies hard, form« no bad habits, eaves his earning» In buy bdoks or to go into bus lues« with, and after adopting some business pursuit, thor­oughly qualities himself for It. He naturally grows tip to tie a reliable business man. He gets good wage-, saves them, and In time g<«.» into businessTor himself and is successful. The other boy rarea little for education, lie would rather spend his time iu using tobacco, strong drinks and playing billiards, or in­dulge iu other 'expensive habits. He grows up unskilled In any pursuit, and is employed by the educated, industrious man at such wa­ges as his skill arid strength will comiiand iu the iTilnr market. One has become a mon­opolist, the .other an anil-monopolist. The monopolist Is often hard-hearted and exact­ing, but the anti-monopolist is at least partly to hi time for his Inferior position. Co opera­tion Is the ouly remedy that can successfully cotitond with the power of monopoly, hut It can only he a success between people who are anfhclently intelligent nnd honest to work to­gether for,a common good. Such educated and skillful business men a» would be well calculated to become leaders In co operative movements, hare already acquired homes and are engage«) In some auccessful business of their own. while the great majority of' those who would be beneQted by co-operative labor, have not the, business qualification.« that would lie likely to ensure h i i m c m ; neither

Jiave they the capital necessary to make a start in business.

Those who make a failure in their own bus-

be donebeforo the millenium will be realiz­ed. The apathy of many so-called Spiritual­ists is incomprehensible. I four that the true mission of Spiritualism to educate ami blest) mankind, is often but dimly discerned by many who are thoroughly con verxautwith its wonderful phenomena. There is-t^mpeh of waiting for spirits to do the work' thut wo ought to do ourselves. If Spiritualism teaches anything of special Importance, it is that the true object of earth-life is the training nnd unfolding of the human «pirli prepara­tory to Its.entry Into it« Dual home in spirit life. A practical, industrious und philan I limpie life will temi to that end. but thepossession of great riches will Jiot, unless wisely used for the bxneQt of other«. A co­operative associ At ion formed by persons who believe in that kind of philosophy, could do a great deal of good, while one formed by those who seek Spiritualism to gratify an idle curiosity, or to make money for selfish purppses, will realize only a harvest of sor­row and disappointment.

In the ' plan it of »uhjectlou to a higher power, lie deems man and the ant equals; that h, that In character, family and uttrilaite. man has nothing to claim snirarlnr to the races of th« ant.

He chili»« that mnn mnfc« himself and his «pint* uaJ facultl.**, the standard by which he Judges of lira standing of the ant, while there are animal» which esiii out run, out ctliuK nut »wlm, out mt, mit saiell. out bear, nut lilste, out feel and out live him. fla t In every one of the physic*! senw«, snm# animal is bl* )tt|s rlor; and the lecturer Jnqulire, “III wlmt re* dpcct dire* man’s superiority consists Taking Ihe remaining pint of hi* hra’Ipro in* ah honest nn• I ijii- eereaUib merit of-lii» vtawa, he seems n*l to hate been nhlc to discover In the liuinun spirit, iniy tiling ratierlnr to the mentality «M he Itnwct and the aid* tual.

A la meeting lately held in this city by the Meth­odist preachers, the Rev. Dr. Hallhdd read n'votum- Inoua pa|»erou “The Two TesLaineuls—1Thtdr Hein- Ron and Mutual Be|»eud»nce." We^irmkr a brief ex- t r « t :

“Art umlCrraJnathiii or the nld Tietament prepar­ed the Why for a dtsparageiUent of the New, and directly led to skepticism and Infidelity. This wo« proves! by tlm history of rationalism lu Kuroi« and America. The critics of today propose to determine wbn wrote or who did not write the hooks of the Old Testament, This was no rosy tn-k. The nu- tbonhlp of Shakspicire wav a matter of dispute; the authorship of the letter« of J uuIun was an Insoluble problem. The speaker argued that the Hid Tesla- meul ami (tie New were so iDlerwovru that botti must stand or fall together. He condemned the efforts now M ng mail« to eliminate the mlmcutnus from th« Old Trolameni, arguing that the stories of Mourn smiting the rock, the tinatnge of th e ln il Sea, Jonah and the whale, Balaam'* a« , and so oil J were «taiple tnlraclm iHirfonned by llie.I/vnl, to whom nothing was Impossible. He then dwelt on the question of whether the Jews, Hod's chosen people, hut any clear conception of Immortality, i|noting

’ many [■nss.igi's wMch, lie said, proved they had, lie then quoted copiously from the New Testament lo Mtow that Christ and Ids disciples, with all the apis«- Uoa, plum*I their faith lo the literal truth* of the Old Testament, and concladesl with an elaborate argu­ment that In every blow that struck the I lid Testa­ment the New Testament wai a co-equal sufferer.”

It ia with some regrot that we have to admit It, but It la DevecthetM* a fact, tint quite a large dam of 8plr- ItruTist« In this city wbo do not and never have, at­tended the splrilaiu meetings are found In the Uni­tarian and Unlveraalist churches; and they include the wealthier class. When the cause becorotn more popular, throe will undoubtedly fall Into line and •well the visible rank« nf Spiritualism. There la- an aadercurreotof Spiritual!*in pervading «odety which seldom makes Itself manifest on the surface, but ia eisaUy detected by a close observer. There is a la­mentable want of bnuroty lo religious opinion* among all denominations, which Is one of the main otambUng btocfcs In the way of progress.

“Six months ago Jeannette Van AUtyue claimed that she had a ttiemnge from Ihe epifita saying that «he was to die; lhat «ft« a certain length of Ua» her spirit would return to the body, and That during her llliieee she was to eat no solid food. She was token III almost iminedlateiy after, and during her Illness received only* few spoonfuls of water a day. On Monday mornRjg the woman ceased to breathe, but ber family any that life will return in due time. The body remains warm and flexible. Attempts have been made to restore her, irai without raccesa. No physician except a Spiritualist doctor had been ■called, and no preparation* for burial have been made. It U ««id that the woman «bows signs of re- tu rullarlo life."

We sent Uie above statement to Mrs. E. 0 . Dodged M.

Hwekiah Beems to have been a sort of Hebrew 8t. Patrick,^'and he waned nu IconocIasUlc war ngaiilst these brazen serpcutB for a per­iod of about twenty-eight years ns JW n»ay learn from the Old Testament Scriptures. Hut the reformation dhl not last long, for hi* son Manaweli: King of Juda, went back to the old. •erpenl and other symbolic forum of worship in the year six hundred and niuely-eight, be­fore the Christian era. The fact 1«, there la no form of ancient worship, however Idola­trous nntl sensuou* It nu>y now appear,which was not received into the Jewish econorny autl to a certain extent Incorporated into the so-called Christian theology.

In ilifcRoswl i>f John, thooorptfnt ia applied to Jesus. ■ “And a* Moses lifted up the serpent

v ih the wilderness, even so must the Son of nnn bo lifted up."

ea loliowera cuonsaeu w urselvea Ophites, and regarded the reptile as an emblem of their Savior, If nothing more. It wouliTnot be proper to go Into the secret meaning of these emblems nayr and here, even if space permitted.

We must now return from this neceAaary digression and give a categorical answer to the qaeatlon of Aho origin of the ijish enako story. - ..

Serpent worship was universal among the anci&nts, though wa shoald admit that the^ Initiated did not worship the nlgti* but tha thing signified. The serpout was to them what the cross la to modern Chrlsl Ians,though it waa u*etl aa a religious emblem centuries before the Christian Kra. Serpent worship

Sreralted in Ireland ampng the Druids before re Introduction of Christianity upon that

Emerald lale. Some successful missionary, whoso ecclesiastical title waa Patrick, opened a warfare against these serpentine emblems these metftlic sdikea. and caused them lo be destroyed wherever found, and thence origi­nated the legeud that St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Thia explanation la not fanciful, but Is rational and truthful and founded upon facts. #

J a Lb* R*ll(t»ltlUm>pUC*l oornil.The Measure of Man,

The Samian Sago founded' hlA philosophy upon Sacred Numbers. And very eminent scientists of our day have affirmed that this belief of Pythagoras Is fully justified by Ihe most exact of the sciences. Three, seven and twelve play quite as important a part in the actual world aa they did In the Grecian dreams. In laying the scientific bams of education and the structure of society, the present writer assumed that the mind of man 'is composed of just twelve groups of faculties, lu this article he proposes to give 'a part of the proof upon whlcu tills classifica­tion la based. It Is, indeed, a very import­ant matter. For a mistake here would viti­ate the whole structure and life of society. Either ton many parts, or few, in the social mechanism would spoil Its working.

In the vision of fhe Apocalypse, John was told by the angel that “the measut£ of the new Jerusalem Is the measure of a man." That is. of perfect man, likd lhe 'angel. The scale given In that measure was twelve atid its multiple one hundred and forty-four. Quite recently this divlue standard or scalo has been applied, and with tile moat surpris­ing results. - -■

If we.draw twelvo satwrea lu each direc­tion, the sides of each square being one- twelfth of the length of the human form, these squares'Will divide off the proportions of Us various parts. These divisions of the body are not simply external. They belong to trio bones, the unu-des and all t,.e vital organs. They are “laid In the very walls of a man." They are exemplified lu every well proportioned adult person, and “In the great works of both ancient and modern slatimry.

Beginning at the base, the lowest square Includes Ihe foot and ankle; the second is the lower leg; the third coutains the great muscles of the calf; the fourth includes the knee; the ilflli is the upper leg; the sixth takes in (lie thigh with' its greatmmsetes; the seventh contains the viscera of the pelvis; the eighth is the abdomen piopof; .the nlutlr, embraces the stomach, liver, eplihm and pan

MEASURE or MAN, crea»; the tenth Include« the breast, with Its pectoral muscles lu front and those of the shoulder on the back; the eleventh equate is the neck; and the twelfth Is thd bralu. The width of the brain is also a twelfth. Loofr- ing at tho arm. we see that one square meas­ures the great deltoid muscle of the shoulder; one takes the bicep« and the triceps muscle Of the upper arm; one includes the muscles of thd forearm; one is tho wrist; and tho fifth is tho hand. For a more elaborate state­ment eeo Wui, Page’« article In Scritiur # Monthly, April, IhTil. . ,

Now let us examine the engravtd Measure of the Head itself. The mathematical outlay of the human head. If made in Btralght lines, will give ns the same «calo of twelve. Let,

circle. This Is not only true of all human heads, hut also of all vertebrate animals. In the heads ol the engraving, euchof tho noses, at 1,2, n.juHt fills up the angle. The nose of Ihe dog project*» forward, but lias less up­right lenglluthon.lhnt of the sage. Tho far­ther the mtellfctual h»bo of tho brain pro­jects forward, tho greater is tho length of tho nose, measured up and down.

Extending these same sired angles all the way amund tho head, there will uo three In front, three above, three behind, and three below. This scale measures the nose, the chin, the mouth, tho forehead, tho cur. and

FACIAL ANGLE.three heads be drawn, as la this engraving of the Facial Angle- Tho point at the open­ing of the ear Hep against the eentron, the . great physiological center of tho nervous ! system, the pivot of action between the brain and the body. Draw one linn from this point to the, lower end of Ihe.noee, and another to Ita upper.end, These two lines include an angle of thirty degrees, or one-twelfth of a

all parts of tho head. If wo divide ihe scale into any other number of parts, nay into five, seven, eight, or ulne, these parts will not fit or measure any of the features of tho bead or face. „ a p H

The number twelvo is therefore the basic number of construction in the human head as well as in the human form as a whole. No other possible scale will accurately measure

■“ita various port«. For a long time tho artists used a scale of eight, but ibis touched only a part of the points, and they were obliged lo use two other and different scales along with tho first. ,

Twelve consists of four threes, a family of trinities For tho philosophy of the number twelve we inbsl therefore analyze the num­ber three find the number four. But our space will not admit of an extended discus­sion. Two 1« the number of finality. All the forces of nature are dual or polar* They are positive ami receptive, masculine and feminine, active and passive, earthly and heavenly. If wo era«« two lines fit right angles. It will give the first basis for con­structing an object, It muHt have length and breadth. These cross Hues are dluttiiig- neiic, or one is magnetic and tho other elec­tric, We see them lu the major and minor axis ofthe brain. If we stand at the point of crossing, we nee four Hues, and four ends of these. When the end« of these lines di­vide, it elves a trinity to each. Every true trinity has a static center and two wings. One of.these «hie members has to do with form or structure, and Hie other Is dynamic, or relates to the exertion of force. A perfect' twelve must have four side«, and each side be a trlully, as in the plan of tho ho man head.

The recent scientific analysis ol tho vllal functions of the human body gives a thou­sand subdivisions, and at every-point It shows their three-fold character.* One class of organs In the body are concerned In tak­ing air. water and food, and, after changing tho form of th"se, they rarry them to the various parts of the body to sustain its action and to build up its wasted tissues. These organs constitute the Nutritive system. An­other kind of organs are formed of handles of delicate tubules, which carry messages to and from ull part« of the body and center In tiro brain and other collections of nerve cells. These organs form the Xervou? system. They govern the design, form aipl object of our movements. A third class, of organs form the Motive system, the dynamic muscles whkh move us .about and perform the work of life. Take Respiration or breathing, as an example of the trinity. We inhale the air and then expel it from Ilia lungs. These two acts have for their object the purifying ‘of the blood in the lungs, while the air is them. This last Is ihe center of tho trinity.

Every part of the human body, each one of the myriad pells in its microscopic structure, is directly and vitally CQnjujeted wilh 11»« brain through the nervoirtsystem. Not the slightest action or change can therefore oc­cur In any part of ihe body without uu im­mediate effect iipotr the brain and mind. The mental faculties must, therefore, be classifi­ed by a law like that which governs the bodily functions. Otherwise the mind and body would constantly work In destructive antagonism to each other. “Mental com­plexity must follow the *nmo law of special- iznti’-iii ft.« the physic it,” says Mauds ley In his Physiology and Pathology of the MlutT, p. 123.

Hence the Intellect, Affection and Volition, or wisdom, love and will, have their respon­sive base in the nervous, ihe nutritive and the motive organs ot the body, “This (three­fold) classification ot the mental faculties is now universally accepted among scientific men." Dr. Noah Porter’s Elements of Intel­lectual Science, p. 31; «ee also Bain's Mental Science, chap. 1; Bastion On the Brain, p. 13fi. This threefold tfTrtslon with first npnlied to the brain by the present writer, and the detailed division of these Into twelve groups is also his own work. These, details corre­spond to facta which are new everywhere recognized among scientific man.

The intellect has three principal groups of perception, memory and rellecllon; or art, letters and science. Wo most first perceive a fact, then retneinber and reason about it. These cover the fqridamental work of the in­tellect, Its transitional group of reception or culture gives ns a desire to apply the knowledge which has been elaborated by tho others.

In the class of Affection, the sensitive or Home group lies at the base. This attracts ns to all tho objects of seme, to food, cloth­ing and «belter, tho home with Its comforts. Without these, the social life of man would be Impossible. Above this, tho groups of Familism and Marriage Include our domestic life, and that of Religion establishes the col­lective Hfu of our race and attracts ns to spiritual beings In other spheres.

In the class of Volition, the group of Ruler- ship dispose* men to unite under leaders, while that of Labor lead« them to apply their knowledgwto-praciical industries. The group of Wealth unites men in the accumulation of property, and that ot Commerce Impels them to it« distribution, Thu« our classifi­cation fils and explains alike the world of actiqn within tire mind, atgl the outward ex-

iiresAion of these mental power« in the col* ectlve life of «oclety. Any true system of

mental science must correspond to the facts of life. It must fornt«h a rational explana­tion bf these fdete. Phrenology explained a very few things. Evolution touched one'll n ft of facts. Psychometry unlocked «omo eecret drawer» of nature'«bureau. But all systems hitherto proposed have been very partial,one­sided and impractical. - We shall perceive their vast defects still more clearly as we progress In these articles.

Thd faculties In each feroup subdivide Into a trinity, and these may be again subdivided In the same way.. The organ of Attention

observes facts, that of Memory retain* these facts, and Language store* up these fact« Inwords and book*, lu the rellfeiotu group, the organ of Faith gives us a -strang confi­dence in fitirnun goodness and the possibilityof human improvement. The moment this faith is established, the organ of Hope re­spond« and lead« us to uud^lake great ami beneficent enterprises for humanity, and thus satisfy Love or Philanthropy, lu a similar mariner we can illustrate any of these mental trinities.ANALYSIS op FACULTIES.

THE SPIRIT LIFE.

Onr .Departed Friends all About Us,

A vast majority o T S irlstian people are Spiritualists to tho extent of believing that the spirits of the dead hover about the earth nnd are witnesses of our mortal career and In full sympathy with their friends on earth. But comparatively few. however, nre Spiritu­alists In common acceptation of that term— those who believe that tho spirits of the dead not only rer|»U earthly scenes, but actually hold communion with the living, anil in some case* even appearing to their natural vision in the easily recognized form In which they were known in life. Of mediums there are many. A majority confessedly are Impos­tors. That nil medium* are not iinpOHtorH, am) that on tKieasrousftho dead do return lo earth in bodily form nnd in fnmlHartones arU dress their living friends, there are stK tiii^ reasons for belief. Latterly we have inter­viewed n reputable.lnteltlgeiit and generally reaped tod

PULTON COUNTY IU7B1NES* MAN, who cradly and firmly declared ho ha* on more Hum one occasion held easy, familiar and pleasing conversations with his dead rela­tives. These Interview« were secured through the effort* of a well-known medium, but to whom our friend wa* an utter stranger, The test« applied by bur friend would seem to bo conclusive. Among other relative* hi« wife and brother appeared to him. first In » vapory form, but afterward* mpro distinct. In some of tho visit« the foatwfe* were perfectly dis­tinct and Hfo-ii£e,^»arUcularly marked fea­tures and deformities appearing the same as in life. He stood face to face and withth six Inches of those spirit forms; laid hi* hand« upon them, and felt their hands upon his person./He describes those spirit form* a« apparently less «olid lo the touch than earth­ly bogles, but Mlllt they were actual bodlIy forms upon which the hands could rest, and which could be caressed, though more yield­ing anil unstable than human flesh. There was something vapory in the touch as well a« in the appearance of the«« bodies. Our friend has no shadow of doubt that the bodies he thus saw, talked 'w llh face to face. And caressed, were indeed tho actual spirit (or materialized) bodies of the dead relatives they purported to be. Elia conversations with these departed- friends constituted as satisfactory evidence of their actual pres­ence a« did the appearance of their familiar faces, for matters were discussed which no hnman being besidethe two conversing con Id hare known about. Indeed, our friend was told certain thiog* in regard to certain home affair« that he did not know. Upon hia re­turn to his home he fonnd what the dead had told him to he true. Our friend ipaile par­ticular inquiry^ of nth esc dead and beloved relative« ab'outjthe state of existence In which the^ notftuweH. The explanation and facts given were not as lucid as one could" wish to have them .'In general terms tho testimony may bo condensed as follows:

1. Tho spiritual existence 1» dual In its personality; that is, tho spirit of one dead is fused with or consolidated lain all eplrlt-llfe beyond death, Bnd at the same tirn'o itA per­sonality is not extingtfl«hed. This m«nV, wife said lo him: "I was with yon on thecare from C-----to L------a d*y'« journey.Yet she declared that at times she wa* not free to go td him, and could never tell in ad

ed yet other certain things to bo done—all relating to earth-life. So they can experi­ence feelings of gladness and sorrow.

Our friend 1« not an enthusiast, and not in the slIghtOHt degree morbid, lie 1« a« solid ami conservative a IunHu'.-* man tin Jives in Fulton County. Ho i* willing to toll all he knows of this topic to any rexpeeiful and considerate listener, but of coum» does not care to debate the matter in a public way, subjecting himself to criticism and annoy­ance. We withhold hi« name for this rea­son.

A I’ROMINKNT ClTI/.KN OF LKWIHTOWM ho* had some wonderful experience* with spirit manifestations In various place*. ' So astounding were these experiences that he ha* deemed It wise to abandon investigation. We have had Incidents of his experiences in this Hue related us that were well calculat­ed to seriously affest a nervous organ Ism. But a * /m *t i n o « J » u e;» m a n i n a n k ig i iu o iu n u c it y ha* bad almost wonderful experience on this subject within one knowledge. Confessedly, his mind 1* uhe of the brightest in Hie State, and he never had j»ny tendency toward Spir­itualism. nor, Jndebit toward auy foonfof re­ligion, He is phenonhquHly a practical man of today, utterly Ignoring yesterday and to­morrow. TiiiH man and 1>1* wife «ouie year* ago suffered tho toesof a beautiful, cultured and loving daughter, lust budding Into wo- manhood. She wai indeed a rnro girl. Neith­er wealth nor pains had bee/rspared in her education. But unexpectedly she fell a prey to disease, and died. It was a terrific blow to that man and his wife—that man of to-day. The heavens were black above him, and the earth reeled beneath hta feet. Ho suffered tho indescribable tortures of one perishing by night and day of hunger for the vision of a lost face and tho «ouud of a hushed voice. Weeks of anguish passed by and the home grief wa« in uo degree lessened. By some accident a poor, unlettered girl—a fisher­man*« daughter—happened In till* sad home. While there she passed into a trance. Iu this state It 1« alleged that Ihe «plrlt of the de­ceased girl took possession of the body of the entranced girl, and that sho acted precisely us the daughter would have done lx she had indeed heen restored in tho body to the sor­rowing father and mother. Tills scene wan repeated time and tlmo again toAhe great wonder of all witnesses. The father llually sent ari Invitation to o friend in this city (one of our prominent citizens) to come and visit It ini and witness these manifestation*. He made tho visit, nnd we have these fact* directly from the gentleman himself:

A WONDERFUL STORY,Arriving at the house I was cordially met

hy the sorrowing father and mother. The fisherman's daughter was present. 1 convers­ed with her sufficiently, to discover that she was hut poorly educated, nuil without an atom bf culture or rpfineinent^ Evidently she had ho ability oj^icoliring to play the game of iHiUnpostorTI am Hure of that. She soon went Into a trance, and-In Unit-condi­tion she ran to the bereaved father, sprang lightly into hi« lap, lovingly embraced him, and in the tones or hi* own dead child plead with him to give over hi* repining*. "Dear papa," «he said, "I am happier far than when on earth. If yon really love me, as I’m sure you do, you should be glad that I am happy, nnd safe from ai] ill* and suffering." And lovingly she brushed away hi* tear* mid lu rich and cultured language plead with him to throw off hi* grief. She talked of many things about her friend* and hornp; recog­nized me as having once before been» visitor at her home, and reminded me of an incident which my hp*t and iny*olf hud forgotten. She seated herself gracefully at tho piuno, and with familiar «kill ami «weotne«* played and sang the songs her father hail so loved to hear. Some one entered the house. The girlbrightly exclaimed: “Why, Fuck---- ! Yonwould not see me when I wa* dead.” The father answered, using his girl'« own name: “You ««rely are mistaken; your uiick was here at tho funeral.” “Yes, «lie answered, “hut when the rasket was opened he turned away weeping and went into'the klleheii." The unde for the first lime confessed, that it was so, the father and mother never having known that fact. During this trance the father said to the girit “My dear, we'have tried so hard to find a certain photograph of you that wo thought finer than any we have, hilt cun find It nowhere. Loyou know where it,is?” "Yes," *he answered. "My school­mate,—— -— ■, has it. Sho now' lives in-----(naming a strange town in a distant State), "and If you will write to her she will send you the picture." They had never Jieard the schoolmate’* name mentioned, but turning to a catalogue found the name. Her address wa* not that given by the girl, for the family had moved eiuce her college duys.. But tho father wrote to tho address given him by ihe girl in the trance, and in due time the covet­ed picture came by mall! Many other won­derful thing* were said and done, when the fisherman’s girl came ont of the trance, and Instantly was tho same bashful, untutored child that I saw her at-first hud wholly ignor­ant of all that had happened. My friend was seriously affected by these strange experien­ces, and in a little while gave them up. In recent yenri) he seems greatly auuoyed if re­ference is made to them, and they, therefore, are no longer the subject of conversation be­tween u*. I don’t pretend to explain this wonderful scone. That night I had a journey to make through the worids. I would not have go no on that Journey for the State of Illinois. I waited until the next day. It was weeks before the uncanny feeling I had acquired wore off.

WHAT IN A MORAL ACTION IA Lecture liy W. M. Sit IL r, V fo re the So­

/ThI* Society him an Ideal aim. It wishes to enridflld* moral life of the world, to add to the'sum of, nioral nctloft*. which makeup the noMe«*t wealth of man. Let us try to make clear to ourselves this morning, what we menu by a moral action. What Is it that gives a moral quality loan action, what lends It moral worth? Knr I have not in mind the opposition between morality and immorality, but rather the question, what out of the mans of our every-day actions, against which noth­ing ran be said on the score of Immorality, which are passable enough, according to ordinary standards of judgment, what de­serve to he singled out and Save this mark of honor attached to them, and called moral ac­tions? Most of men“« action», I supp wie, are simply unmoral. In them wo obey the opin­ions ami customs and usages of society .about os. We think and act according tn trie pre­vailing fashion. Wo may not be hypocritical tn this, not at all; for Insensibly and by a kind of natural gravitation, we settle into the grooves that custom has marked out for us. There 1» nothing, spfcsklng on the lower plane, wrong about this, there may be some­thing good; f*odety is perhaps only possible, on the basis of .this Instinct of Imitation, which restrains lawless Individuality and wild caprice; and probably there U a modi­cum t>f sense in any prevailing fashion. But for all this any mere following of custom and Oi*ag£ Cannot be said to be moral.

A MORAL ACT MUST BE OPR OWN ACT.It must spring from conviction. A purely

conventional life Is without moral signifi­cance. We begin to reBily live, when we wake out of this ancotmdou« Instinctive fol­lowing of popular-opinion, and know that we are oarselves. and have minds to use. and use them. What we do, when we are awake, aroused, what expresses our Individuality.— tb it has moral worth and that alone. And this entirely apart from what particular

Thing we think or do, or even whether we join the popular current again or not; for tbbqgh when one thinksanaactsfor himself, It is unlikely‘that he will not vary somewhat from the hitherto prevailing fashion, yet the trouble with the conventional life from the moral standpoint, Is not as To Its particular Idea* and customs, but that it is lived con­ventionally. A moral action may even be In entire accord with the prevailing fashion,

Iet it will never be merely that. We cannot eborn moral, we cannot be made moral by

any set of external Influences; .we may lire a perfectly stainless life according to ordin­ary standards, and yet never have risen to Jhe height of genuine morality. The sources of A hi» are all within; nothing has that high worth of which we are now speaking, that Is not born out of one's Tory self. Yes. there may be more morality In the struggles, even the unsuccessful struggles of some men. than In the calm, evetNand, perfect virtue of others,—that is, If we ropy give the Aiame of virtue to what may be bunfhappyiSbw of the blood,or the result of genial circumstance and surround in p . Morality is the assertion of our- nelves. 0. bow sad 1» bis plight who has no sacred self, who never falls back upon a con­viction, as a believer on his gods, because' he has none, who lire« all out of doors, whose sool Is the empty mirror of the world's pass­ing fashions and »bows! Know, 0 friend, that the beginning of thy proper moral life is to believe something. It matters not half

so much what, as that thou bellerest It, that U l* sarred to thee, that thou wilt hold to It, whether the world does or not. That man, who once defied a world, andiyet lived to see the world come round to him and has now gone down to his grave, covered with the general reverence and blessings of men.— Wendell Phillips—said when addressing a mixed assembly In those early trying tlmss, before 'twas prosperous to he just; "Till you lodge men and things on different principles, 1 do not'eare much what you think of me; l hare outgrown that interesting anxiety." And no man rises Into the dignity of moral Individuality till he nays the same. No other anxiety can he have than to please the gen Ins of his own bosom. The sense of alfother harmony save that with his truer self, he must be wilting to dispense with, "tyhoso would be a man must be a non eon form I at," said Emerson. Man must net for himself, or he is lost, I look abroad nnd see men and women following blindly popular fashions In society, religion, politics, with never a serious lonely thought, as to what Is truth, what 1« right and duty.—and they are all lost, and will be, till they come home to themselves and begin to live a real. Inward, personal life. The only Impiety 14 to go after other goda than those which speak within. The only profanation la that, not against church or eacrament or Bible, but against the clearest, sanest thought of our own mind*. I, wilt not say the lesson, but the significance of morality Is—independence of public opinion, having the center and rule of our life, not in the world without, as most do, hut in a world within, so that even if we harmonize with the world without. If we coincide with public opinion, it will not be as an echo, hut as a living factor in it.

But if a moral act must bo our own act and not one merely in accprdanee.with con volitional standards, K goes almost with out saying that it must be one not merely followed by good results, but nne In which those results are Intended. We most not only do good, hut mean to do good. Yes. the Whole properly moral significance of an ac­tion Is In Its Intention. Two actions might have exactly the same outward Results, yet be separated by a heaven-wide distance In moral worth, according as they were prompt­ed by one motive or another. And these mo­tives are, of course.only really known, be­cause alone experienced, by those doing the actions. The attempt Is sometimes made to divest ethics of all these Inward and, as it Ib said, mysterious elements, and to »reduceIt to a question simply of results. Any action Is to be counted moral which has good re­sults, or. immoral, which has evil,—quite apart from motives. And ft is perfectly true that an action does not have good results simply because they*ars intended, just as s thought Is not necessarily tl'ie because It aims at the truth. Hell, we have been told. Is paved with good intentions, and at any rate, we know quite weli, that many good in­tentions are on the earth, bringing forth lit­tle sound or lasting f ru it How many kind- hearted people, for example, give a kind of .charily, which yet does more harm than «<✓ *!! But the trouble la after all not with the kind- heartedness or the charity, which they show, but with their lack of intelligence; and the real remedy Is not to depreciate charity, but to tight It up with intelligence. An action really /ails to have a moral quality, if it does not take ad vantage of all the light and knowl­edge by which it may be directed. And those who would turn ethics into a species of social mechanics do not realize that automatons would do as well and perhaps better for these merely outward effects, as men. Indeed Prof. Huxley says, that If some great Power would agree to make him always think wflbt Is true and do what 1* right, on condition of his allowing himself to be turned Into a sort of clock and wound up every morning before he got ont of bed, he should Instantly close w ith the oiler.' What an infinite saving of pains and trouble such an arrangement would be! Yet I doubt if there Is one in a dmndred or a thooaatid who would share with the Profapor In such a readiness, who would not say with Lessing, if God1 held one. “truth" in one hand and^soek after truth" In another, that in all humility he would take "seek after trnth." And why? Becanse the other attitude would practically deny the significance of our intellectual' being 'and we feel that if the truth is grand, the learn­ing, and so knowing, the truth Is stilt grand­er. And so any giving of onr action over into the hands of another Power Is practically denying the significance of our moral be­ing: wfctlle we. on. the other band, are sure that t h e o r y of the moral universe is not alone to the good, but In the willing of the good. In the conscious, voluntary practice of it, and would count It better to-struggle for and sometimes miss the good, than that it Bhould never be learned by finite beings at all. But whether or no. any such good- news aa Prof. Huxley supposes, would nave no moral quality. No matter if the results were Just the same as those from J pro­perly moral action, if they were not' Intend­ed, no prilae.or blame would attach to it any mure than to an operation of nature. Alex­ander the Great, for example, took the Greek language and Grecian culture and art and manners, to the East, wherever be went in hie military conquests. And what a benefit to. the world was this spread of Greek civili­zation! Yet If, ae Is likely, the passion of Alexander was solely for conquest and mili­tary power and renown, If the benefit to the world came simply aa an unintended conse­quence, an incident of bis victories, what moral credit bee he In the matter? I have

heard It gravely argued that a man raimoi do good to himself without benefiting others; that one. for example, cannot build up a business without giving employment and a .livelihood to those who would perhaps other­wise be In need; yes, 1 have sometimes heard It nrged in eitenuatlon of the great monop­olies of our time, that. I d the nature of the case, they cannot exist and maintain them­selves save as they bring themselves under the rule of service to others. All triio enough as matter of fact, but all delusion, if the facts are supposed to answer to the requirements of morality, fl'hat 1» the business man or theTnonopolist intent on?—that Is the ques­tion which decides whether there Is any moral worth iu what he does or not. Are the benefit« which .come toothers an end or only the necessary Incidents in the accomplish­ing of his own personal ends? I think. In­deed, the introduction of higher motives into business must more or less affect the man­agement and all the details of business; but ! can imagine two businesses externally al­most exactly alike, yet fhe one of which would he dominated by a moral impulse, and the other, as I suppose most business 1», simply unmoral. The difference would be all In the thought. Man may go astray many times in what he thinks to be good, but on the other hand no action whicn 1» without the prompting of the thought of what is good, no matter how extremely good and right It may bp. can be called a moral action, and ever? time we sincerely, honestly mean to do what Is right,’ no matter how mistaken we may turn out to be in onr judgment, our ac­tion has a moral worth. %Vlint we mean to do, what we want to do—that is all. from a moral standpoint.

Closely _pH a ted with this.IS ANOTHER MARK ()T A ¥*>KJlL ACTION, THAT

IT BE KfriTEl.V DON*.Whatever I <lo under compulsion, under

constraint, has no moral worth. Huppoee I ris* early In the morning, to take a homely Illustration, because I have got Pi. because if f nni not at the store of my employer by a certain lime. I shall lose my situation, plain­ly there is no morality tn this; but if I do so. under no constraint, and simply with the feeling that it Is a good habit IhtU I ought to acquire, I make a mastery of my laziness;]^ that has some moral worth. Suppose I c*- turn a book to* the library to escape a fine, or on the other hand simply because J know o'hers want tin* book. jiml who have

good a right to It WW'my-elf. would ■, whlc'

their parents write their wills? Do not such thoughts In connection with those to whom, if anywhere In this wide world, we should be unselfishly attached, seem a kind of profana­tion, and recall Lear's words:

"Ijnrivt* not lerar.Whin tt U intn«!«) with milieu, that *uiulAknt from the entire point-'1

Nuppose a man becomes a soldier not out of unselfish attachment for a cause.hut for hire, ¡' it'.1 nrjr " 'linuile of him fill CMOgMl? WIlO that has seen that magnificent creation of Tborwaldsen, the lion carved In the solid rock at Lucerne. In commemoration of the

».Swiss Guard that fell defending the Tulller- fe*4n-l71*2, but is pained, when the thought comes over him that those men after all had sold themselves for gold .and In aid of a cause against which every instinct and tradition of liberty in Hwltzerland would seem to have protested? Suppose a man marries. I will not nay for money, but only beeauap be I* tired now and then, and wants a home, and the rest and comfort of It, what is he but a selfish man after all, and- without a part in that experience. In which. It would seem. If ever, a man is.taken out of himself and learns, if never before, the disinterested­ness which Is the » ill of morality? A moral act Is one In which we rise superior to per­sonal considerations. There dare not b* "mingled wlth .lt respects, that stand aloof from the entire point." Morality doe* not descend to the low plane on which we ordi­narily live and rts*k to influence ns by show­ing u* we shall be better off by adhering to tt; but takes for granted that we have a high­er nature, and appeals to ps on the higher, ths highest ground. In the old anti-slavery times, calculating, prudent men used to seek to persuade the slave-holders that It would be cheaper to pay wages than to own slaves, that their property would be safer, that even those ImlUpenasbl* luxuries, their ice-cream and vanilla, would cost leas. If the negro*.«* were plaecd on a fair footing; and that those picturesque bouse servants, with thelrJntaVj Ethiopian manners, their silent obedience, their hue of brunze and ttirbaned heads, would find,it to their interest to remain on the master’s estates, though thej were free*!/

Jife? How pitiable Is the view of that jgreat Christian authority, Paley, that prudence and duty differ only; iu that-In the one case we consider what we shall gain or lose (n the present world, and in the other, also what we shall gain or Jo** in the world to come! How fittingly doe* he. in proposing such a view, omit all moral declaration, as he call» it. about the dignity and capacity of our na­ture, the superiority of the soul to the body, of the rational to the the animat part of our constitution! Slnee in truth according to him and the style of speaking of many Chris­tian preachers, there Is no dignity or divine capacity in onr nature, and no difference be­tween animal and man. save that the latter has a spy-glass, and the animal only his eyes to seewnai is for his own personal interest«. In how striking a contrast t* the strain of another Christian. St. Xavier, who passion­ately exclaim-:

»»Tbou, n kit Jett», thou <ltrt.it nw t 'l* « t h i t t w W i u b n w ,

And St, Theresa, it is said, wished to have a torch lu her right hand and a vessel of water in her left, that with the one she might burn up th* iglorlet* of heaven and with the other extinguish the flame*« of hell, that she might make men serve God from love alone, And If we subtitut*' the "true and the right” for God, wtiat better expression of our ‘ own thought could we have than this? What a noble outburst, what a sublime impatience with the low views of man and religion that were c u rren t In her time, that are current, alas, still! lYhatan assertion of the moral na­ture, a* that In oh by reason of which We cjui transcend oil personal hope-* and fears, and -erve the highest from love alone' How near does it come lo Em erson's .bold summon*.

any one hesitate lo say, which action along had any virtue about It? Suppcc-e I llv^a simple, unpretentious life, because I havn’t the means to live otherwise, and theu again, that I live so. though with abumignt means, because I have' a sense of how mkn should HVe. when there ts so much wint and misery in the World about him—plainly joti would not hesitate to qar which maimer of life, though they w e ft,» far a* the eye could see exactly alike; had any moral worth. The economy, that when necaMltated. has almost an air of meanness, become« divine, wbeu un­dertaken In the free service of an Idea. Tpke again the case of an employer who yield« Jo, his striking employes, because he fw-jmeM to, because they have so arranged matter)*, that if he will not give them an advanced rate of wages, he cannot find any workmen; and then another, who do»efl not wait for a strike and has no reason tq fear any. and simply ont of regard for hfa workmen and their needs and ends m human beings and as heads of families pays the higher rate, lu a word, not because he has got to,‘but because he will.—and can there be any hesitancy as to which one rises ly the dignity of moral conduct? Freedom, spontaneity Is the note, the very mark of a moral action. Of course, I am not speaking of any debatable, meta- pbyalcal notion of freedom, bnt as we alt un­derstand and are every-day using that word.— freedom from external constraint, from ne­cessity .In its popular sense. An action dic­tated-by fear Is not really a free action, as when iffQg Richard If. of England, sought ta quell tjie angry revolt qf the pea-ante, by granting them the reforms which they want­ed, and gave them letters sealed with his seal, with all their demands formally com­piled to; and yet later, when the danger was over, ordered under pains of death that all those who had thtf king's letters should de­liver them up. A righteous act, do you say, succeeded by an unrighteous one? No. never a righteous act at a ll but only the forms of righteotwmi*** complied to under a sense of fear. What we do when no pressure is upon is. but simply have with the sense of what

we ought ta do, the free, willing expression of the soul within us. that atone Is moral.

And a moral action, farther, must have no motive of self-interest behind tt. This is not saying that maay.lnUsreated act&ns are not natural, proper and neceosary, ae the world now is, but only that they do not ‘ri«e to the dignity of moral actions How in­stantly does an action dropMo a lower plane in our estimation, when we discover that »m e self-regarding motive lie« behind It! Soppoae a man is honest and refrains from imposing on tbe ignorant who come Into his »nop. because pe know» that be will thereby

Bat further, and perhaps a house JT merchandise, i have almost a « « I bringtog out clearly, what has been al- similar indignation, when I hear the cause J reai5y ^farted.of human rights, the cause of charity treated • * MdHAt, A«.T MOST B* POSE ON PRINCIPLE, from any other than .the highest standpoint.

The glow of moral health is ln euch senti - ment* as these; let us take them and be thankful for them from Christian or what-

ta their own level. When we treat wttb the claim» of a human being, there is but one thing ta do,—yield to those claims, without a thought of personal advantage. I heard a man advocate the other night more systemat­ic and effective charity, because forsooth. If we thus took care of the poor, we could then rid ourselves of the fear of socialism. J£ Is not man then, man in want, mau In » re dis­tress that we are ta consider,- but tbla, that our property Is secure against dreaded confis­cation Or robbery. 0, fie on it, this making merchandise of charity! 1 stand, here to wit­ness for the fact that he who urges the cause of humanity ou any other grounds thso the highest, respects not the humanity of those who are in need, nor the humanity in u4, and treats us as if we bod no higher nature and could not transcend these low consider­ations. I am here to witness for the poet's words:

11 ro4n* above UoatUHe can erecWi1m*elf.How mean-« thine t* n a o r

And ta say that he can rise above hfmsejf. and that In 'this higher life animated by more than persona! considerations, is his home, that he first knows himself there, that it Is, aa It were, his caUve element,» tbe stain less azure la to the king of birds. And no mors for considers lions of com fort *mu! 'personal

.happiness in acother world than in this.does man need to be concerned. I hear it Mid that

If I3 merely give’ way lo ¡} charitable im­pulse, and charity 1* uo principle with me, my act 1* only an impulsive, not a moral one, if l nm truthful toward a friend and deceitful toward another who is not, even my truthfulness with my friend has no mor­al value. To do according ta my inclination, that is opt plurality. Morality ¡-acting ac­cording tn a rule, or what is the same, a principle.’ It Is bringing aii my chance Inclination-', all my natural Impulses that look iii this-way or that, into conformity with the rule, and <*o girding my life about with order and steadfast ae** and reliability. Of how many people Is it not said, (bat If you find them at tbe proper moment, they will do the right thing. But the right thing'Is for always; as it does Dot depend on our moods for its rightness, so it ought not for its exe­cution in action. The truly moral man is simply he who says it shall not, to whom the right l«a constant, an abiding rule of ac­tion.

R E L I G I O - P H I L O S O P H I C A L J O U R N A L . MARCH 8, 1884.MORE HERESY.

Possibly thé Baptist denomination In Chi­cago w!'l have-a full-fledged heresy trial on ita hands before long. The Presb.terlans havo had Prof. Swing, and the Methodists their Llr. Thomas. There were internal do- nomination»! throw of such violence Hint tlm outside world paused to witness the struggle, and soon-felt as deep on interest in the result as If ft formed a part of the disturbed or dis­turbing element. It begins to look as If the turn of the Baptists had come. The ministers of that denomination hare been shaken out of the theological ruts in which they have been pertinaciously running, and the ques­tion with them now is, shall they slip back

‘ qalolly and proceed as before, or shall they «top. long enough to discipline the prosump-

’"‘ toons offender? One of Hie Baptist wheels has been slipping Its bund, and the whole

^machinery of the denomination in Chicago is In dinger of being thrown ont of gear.

The Rev. Duncan McGregor is pastor of the NortlLAshlanil Avenue Baptist Church, lie is a Scotchman, as his name, signifies, and has the characteristic of many of his country­men of doing snmo of his own ^linking and speaking out his conclusions regardless of conseil «onces, A sliort time ago he read a paper at the Baptist ministers' Monday meet­ing on the subject of "Readjustments.” In this he held that modern theology sadly needed readjusting; that it. and those who stuck to It, were being left behind, and that it should be progressive as was the world generally. In his paper he attacked some of the cherished tenets of hia denominational brethren. He held that the miracles of Christ were not performed to prove his spiritual ori­gin and power, for the spiritual could not be proved by the material, but that they were done solely to emphasize the story of hia character. The belief of the Baptists that eventually thelrdenonilnatlonwouldflwallow up all others he pronounced denominational conceit unworthy of fair-thinking men.

The paper provoked a great deal of discus­sion among the Baptist ministers. The spark has been fanned into a blaze by Mr. McGregor

‘ with another paper, which he read before bis brother ministers last Monday. His subject was "Freedom of Faith." and the Ideas he

λresented stirred up the opposition of all the eadlng Baptist ministers who were present.

Not one ventured openly to indorse what Mr. McGregor had said, and it is doubtful If any will do su, although it Js reported that several went to him privately aud said that they thought ho wap right, but that they did not think it best for them to come out and say so openly. Beveral laymen have said that they thought nine tenths of the laymen of the church, however, coincided with the views expressed. Mr. McGregor'« paper will prob­ably be a fruitful subject of discussion for some time to come among the Baptist clergy, and, as Mr. McGregor shows no signs of weak­ening in Ills position, which his brethren re-

igard as extra-baptist, to say the least. It is ilinicult to say what the result will be. As little more than an allusion to the paper re­ferred to has been published, the following

firesentatlon of Ha chief points will be found nteresting:“We are entering on n new theological cil-

mate/' the paper begins. "Calvlntoiic theol­ogy thaw's, and whether the thaw will bring an avalanche or a river remains to be seen. We prefer the river; but better an avalanche, if it foretells sommer, than aglnder, mystic.

shows that we have yet vast field» of spiritual research unexplored. There ia at present ho received theory of Inspiration, and wo are passing through that Solemn period when the old forms of faith havo ceased to Bullafy and the new are seen only through »glass darkly, and not face to face, Tbo old theology is preparing to he gathered to its fathers. It was once the new theology, and it has secur­ed many valuable ends, nourished the Quest intellects, and developed some of the sweetest diameters.

The Catvinfstic center was In Scotland, and the revolt there Is becoming most pronounced. TIimo who lead the revolt declare that Cal­vinism has shown itself unable to beat back modern materialism. The natural science of Calvinism having been proved untrue, Its au­thority In other domains suffers accordingly. The evolution theory being in some form or

cold, sterile. Some people do not love a tlmwi but prefer to pound the orthodox Ice—they call it expounding—because a thaw menus freedom and summer."

Theology, like All other sciences, the paper continues, tends to bondage. Spirit alone ha« perfect freedom. Modern sect« are often the demagogues of the human spirit. When a Christian ceases to be a «on of man and be­come« a son of Luther, Calvin, or anv other aneipnt teacher, he Is on the way to become a religious fossil. It was expedient that oven Jesus should vanish that the reign of pure spirit might begin. The clank oftho fetters ia heard on every side. Each denomination has Its own special kind, bot among all sects they exist. The bondage is manifest some­times In the doctrine, sometimes In the th e ­ology. The high Calvinist makes a fatalistic election, the strongest Jinks of Its chain. A well-known denomination makes the com­munion of saints the badge of its bondage. Public meetings ring with the eloquence of “I am a Presbyterian of the Presbyterians. I am a Baptist of the Baptists—a Baptist to the backbone." Clacking of chains Mr. McGregor calls this in his paper.

Our forefathers with grand earnestness did battle tor vital truths. Their protest against error via« needed, but when the special pro­test should give place to some other form of Protestantism, we go on protesting, as did bnr fathers, and call It soundness of faith. Theolqgv is not a fixed science. Theology Is neither Inspired nor Infallible In the same sense as the hlble is regarded as being both. It is an organism which must grow or die. Theology and Christianity are not the same thing. Each can exist without the other. Each doctrine has it permanent essence and a shifting form. The essence Is unquestion­ed: the form is ever uud?r debate. Had the Savlor'given us a theology, his religion. In­stead of becoming universal, would nave be­come a Jewish Beet. The orthodox say they hold on to the good old doctrines as taught by Calvin and Augustine. Neither Calvin nor Augustine can give us the forms of truth needed for modern life. For maDy reasons they were not fitted to see truth more clearly than the average modern theologian. A* they were not inspired, it Ls folly to be bound nec­essarily by their views of troth. There la an element of truth In the saying that a historic faith gathers in authority, but if It w erten- tlrely true, then those farthest from the foun­tain-head are the most likely to have the ful­ler, dearer views, and the folly of our prac-

, tlce of quoting the early father*, anti the sanction of the primitive church would be all the more manifest. -

Spiritual knowledge most ever come by revelation. There is as much revelation and Inspiration, and there are as great miracles now as ever. Jesus said: ‘'Greater works than these shall ye do because 1 go to my Father." God la ever revealing himself, and the day is not far distant when a page of na­ture's book will be regarded qnite a« sacred and authentic and inspired as the Genesis of Moses or the Revelation of John. In.such a view we do not draw the blbie down, bnt we raise God'« other revelations out of the dust, whore the tramp of modern faith has too often“ crushed them out of eight. Orthodoxy Is as deeply'tainted with agnosticism Id this re­spect ka in Its opposition to the evolution

WhatJf the next atop In theological prog- rase, continues the paper, should be a com­plete revolution In our conception of the di- vtne essence. Thus far God has been sup­posed to have no persona! history. But If God incarnate was made perfect through suffer­ing, was not God, the noti-luc irnate. made perfect In the same «ay? Tjiis line of thought

olhyr received as at least a working hypoth­esis. If dot, as Huxley asserts, a demonstrated truth, amt CnlvIniNm by its confession of faith having adopted the catastrophe theory of cre­ation, the gulf between Calvinism and mo­dern science gels wldqr ev^ry day. To meet the growing materlallsm-wo must make more spiritual all our theological conceptions,from the essence of God to the eternal judgment. If John Calvin were to rise from the dead.the first thing lie would do, would be to assail

I modern Calvinism, for Its creed-clonk is crack­ing at every seam, besides being a coat of many colors, variegated by popish patches. Tp individual thinkers there Is freedom and freshness, but what sounds do wo hear at as­sociations of churches? Not evou a squeak of new thought, but blare of Calvlniatic trumpets and the tinkling of orthodox cym­bals. Our belief is understood to have been settled for us long ago, and any one who thinks he ran add to it nr dares to take from It stands a poor chance for a vacant pastorate, and the religious periodicals will try to drive him ont of Ids denomination. lie will not be a risiDg man, but will be doomed to wan­der without nun or stars, having no one but God . t o keep him company, iu fact the fresh breath of living air coming into the close communion of modern churches will be called a dangerous drought, and orthodoxy will shuffle uneasily till the door be closed and the saints be left to peace and foul air. A modern church muzzles a minister who briugs to it the breath of life. If be seeks freedom he is told to march, am! he generally inarches.

Mr. McGregor thdn proceeds to point out some of the distinctions between the old ami the new theology. Of the latter, and what it includes, he says It looks on God as love. The atonement was given for all eternity. The life of Jesus si hi ply revealed God ns suffering to save us—God, in fact, under the same laws of Ralvaliomthat we are. The phrase "plan of salvattnii}1 is a misnomer. God him ever been saving hfs'chUd re n. A propitiatory God In the populnr senseis a relic of heathenism. The law of salvation by sacrifice was lio scheme of redemption to put right an acci­dent, but it was from all eternity. Substitu­tion ami imputed righteousness was no holy fiction, but «n awful and eternal fact—u law of God's being. Revelation Js not believed because It 1» written in the blblo by thpse In-

spired, but because, men being cl__ ___God, the truth revealed by the rather of the child carries its own evidence, and has on it the Father's superscription. Physical pho nomena do not prove spiritual laws. Jesus worked miracles to Bhow forth tho glory of his character, not to prove his identify. Rev­elation comes to men through conversion as much as through inspiration. It Is as wnn- derfnl to convert a sinner as by prayer to get rain from heaven. God has never ceased to inspire, to reveal himself, or to work miracles. Tho age of miracles is now. or iHnever exist­ed. Tho body that Is burled will not be raised: Tho resurrection will be of the spiritual body which is within the natural body, even as tho unseen Is within the seen universe. The eternal judgment has no time limitations, Judgment and resurrection goon now as they eTerJiave gone and will go on. Jesus ia now on th e j udgment seat, T he j « dgme n t is not an event, but a crisis. It Is not adjourned to a particular place or time. Its hour is not known to those to whom it comes in the crisis of human existence. It is not photic day or ago alone, it is here ami. now. It is not lim­ited to the present nor to the future, but Is constant and continuous, Life is not strict­ly a probation. That phrase darkens men’s minds as to their true relation to God. Wo are not in a state of probation, but of educa­tion, directed by that eternal purpose of Iqve which brought us into being. The events of life are not appointed as teafs, whether we will choose God’s will or not. but «re lessons, training us to make the right choice. - Sin­ners are not cost into hell-fire to vindicate God’s Justice, for iFneeds none. Lost sinners are not hated of God, and In the future, as now, he will endeavor to make the best of ev­ery tinman soul that can be made. The pun­ishment of sin Is eternal, bnt to Identify this with nil Irrevocable doom Is to set a finite limit to the divine redemption and to its per­fect realization. It brings a section of the human race into an ultimate condition of fate and not of freedom. The sin Is here,and the death of sin, and contirmeKwith the con­tinuance of the sin and is the actual mani­festation of the nature of sin. The. new the­ology does not admlPof any arbitrary punish­ment of sin different from the punishment now going on. Judgment, resurrect ton, heav­en. hell, are now In as full power as tltoy will ever be. \

Tlio centra] difference between the oliTand the new theology Is that the former looks back to ancient inspiration, aheieat miracles, the ancient calvary and the ancient pentecoet. Tire new recognizes no such-distinctions of time and space iu the matter of eternal prin­ciples. It brings to light modern inspiration, modern miracle«, a modern calvary and a modern pentecoat. The old looks forward to ,a future day of Judgment, a future heaven, heltUnd resurrection. The new bring« out the fact that Jesus «its now on the judgment- seat as much as he will ever do so; the resur­rection goes on pow, and heavop and hell are round us, Th« old ]«ks for a pre-mllienlal coming of the Lord and then a post-mi denial coming for judgment. The new dwells rather in the fact that the eyes of the church have but to be opened to see the Lord now on earth, now reigning, npw judging. He has not to come. Tie inhere. .

In one portion of Ms paper Mr. McGregor expresses a doubt that such religious teach­ers as Moody and Spurgeon are the most ef­fective, and ascribes the success they meet to other causes than that they preach the old theology. In another he declare« that the best aspects of the new theology and the best aspects of the theory of evolution w e In per­fect agreement. -

Tho« who claim to be the wise leaders of the Baptist denomination ornrbt to speak out, for there are those who believe the changes alluded to are Impending and from God, and they will apeak and the world will hear them. The Baptists have

The Introduction of a novel and mysterious subject, such as mediumshlp, to popular at­tention, without a proper exposition Of It* science and philosophy, derived from the physical and spiritual constitution of ‘man— from anatomy, physiology and psychology— necessarily generates a great amount of crude eonjccinrcs, visionary hypotheses and mis­chief ons misconceptions.

The medical profession refusing to advance a step beyond the bounds of materialism, the clerical profession refusing to look at any­thing but a misunderstood antiquity,and the literati refusing to recogrilzo anything, os valuable but the old volumes which Bre be­hind the progress of the enlightened—medt- umshlp becomes the theme of many who have neither science, philosophy nor education to enlighten their views, and who arc saved from the mo^i pernicious errors only by the wisdom of the Spirit-world expressed through the beat mediums.

In consequence of the dependence upon spiritual Instruction which has thus arisen, there has been developed a puerile and super­stitions dependence on rued turns hip. the con­sequences of which have been very injurious. Many have been led into visionary and disas­trous business enterpriHos, the results of which are pointed a t by skeptics as a proof of the folly ami danger of Spiritualism. Others are led to disregard public opinion, the usage of society and the obligations of marriage IpwH, anil to assume an attitude of hostility to legal aud religious institution«, or to sail with course Interpretation against the relig­ious principles, which have been sanction»! by the common approbation of mankind and are Indeed a necessary accompaniment of true Spiritualism.

It Is true, these follies have nothing to do with the legitimate cultivation of spiritual science, with enltghteued mcdlumsblp, or with the true Influences of the Spirit-world; nevertheless their prevalence casts a degree of discredit upon the whole spiritual move­ment, from which all Spiritualists must suf­fer.

Many of these follies arise from ignorance and from the impulsiveness of unbalanced minds, which approximate so closely to the borders of Insanity as to come under tho pop­ular appellation of cranks. Cranks are gen­erally attracted to popular agitations, and themes which partake of the marvellous—the spiritual movement attracts a grent variety, and they are not at all backward In obtrud­ing their nebulous ignorance upon the pub­lic. They fancy themselves Inspired, and «poll many quires of paper with communica­tions from the Illustrious deported,—Coufu- cIhh, Buddha, Christ, Plato, Solon. Seneca, Solomon, St. Paul, Paine.Fraukllu, Washing­ton, Lincoln, Jackson, Bohnparte, Theodore rarker.Marthu Washing bn*: Joseph ¡tie, Cnwar, Demosthenes, etc., etc., are upside to figure as their spirit controls, and iil-u in write oimr- mous quantities or verbose platitudes, filled with commonplace Ideas, aud frequently de­faced by grammatical blunders, or the still greater blunders of scientific ignorance im­pelled by unbounded self-conceit. Too much alas, of such material gets into print. I might

five many amusing Illustrations of wTiat 1 avo seen, but I prefer to let such trash drop

quietly into oblivion. One of the latest illustrations was that of a medium who wrote me the important announcement that she perceived Spiritualism to be In a chaotic state, because it had noliead. but that she had bqen advancing higher and higher In her medium- ship, null! «lie had reached the most puroaiwL exalted^sourco of unmixed truth and wisdom,In the Spirit-world, and In consequence now, she 9aid exultingly, "Spiritunfum Aa* a Acad,'"—herself.

Aside from credulous ignorance and dog­matic erankery, the chief source of spiritual follies has been the universal and reckless misconception of medlumship. The more credulous claw of Spiritualists accept every­thing coming from a medium as dlvlnetruth and lay naide their own intelligence to ques­tion the spirits upon the simplest things, as children question their mothers, and accept everything coming from the medium as nec­essarily of spirit origin.

I have uo sympathy.wlUfwhaf’ia common­ly cplled skepticism—« defiant resistance against evidence, to avoid learning anything, new or marvellous; but a philosophic cau­tion would teach us not to consider the utter­ance of any human being, spiritual, or deriv­ed from disembodied spirits, without convinc­ing evidence. The fact that his eyesareshut unit that he speaks In an exalted or declama­tory manner, is not sufficient evidence.

There are two evidences upon which wo may rejy: first, the substitution of a distinct spiritual power for the spiritual power of the medium, shown by an essential change in voice, manner, language, style of thought and Information—as when, for example, the me­dium with changed voice and manner speaks sn unknown language correctly or expresses the true sentiments of} the. spirit, and gives Information known to the spirit only. But oil the other hand, when we have only the voice, the manner, the sentiments, the capac­ities and the limited information of .the me­dium, we may be sure that tho spirits have little or nothing to do with It, however honest the medium may be in the belief that he is a mouth piece for spirits. Such messages may properly be called medium andshould bo widely separated and distinguished from genuine flplrft messages, in which the characteristics oMhejplril appear, and those of the medium are ahrent. Medium- messages have been the baneofBpIritnailsm.the source of follies innumerable. Spirit mwwages have been Its life and progress; and yet the same individual may be at one time a channel for spirit messages, and at another a sponter of medium messages, of which we have had a superabundance— messages that have none of the characteristics of ThesplflUnd abund­ant characteristics *t the medium— as in a certain message from Thomas Paine, which was the very antithesis of his style, bot was apparently accepted without criticism, and pnoltohed as tbe utterance of Paine. The bombastic Terboeity of the style would have been as offensive to Paine as certain Inane and craay utterances attributed to Theodore Parker would have been to any enlightenedpplrltf

We bate every possible variety and grada­tion between genuine spirit messages and the messages of mediums, and I bare seen vary little evidence of the wholesome vigi­lance and criticism necessary to discriminate among'them and give each its proper e*ii-, mate. In some circle* an omnivorous appe­tite accepts everything as spiritualistic, and the feeble utterances of uninspired mediums, are accepted as oracular, or as the voice of the illustrious departed. And yet tf the In­quirers would take tbe eifeplMt precautions, they might escape b$ing deluded, if. for ex­

ample, George Washington, Solomon or RoiT Jacket appears to communicate through one of the tnodlnius, let them talk with the same spirit through half a dozen other mediums and they would probably find that the spirits responded differently In each case; and that Washington, through number two, bad not the slightest/«collection of anything which he had «aid or promised through number one, but that liissonUmeuts aud intelligence were those of the medium.

Wo may then rely upon these two teste: the d ittin c t identity of tho spirit, distinguished from tho medium in knowledge, manner and character, and the unehanaeii identity at the spirit appearing through different mediums.

If, however, we find that onr spirit -talks differently through each medium, and that he knows nothing of those personal hidden to conspicuous in his life or the language and literature with which he was familiar, wo are wasting time with such medlumship.

There luamitjiyr Important tent upon which we should reljy—that otfatiijue. Jit the spir­it Is really pr&ent In fnll control, the answers are made by his'pqwer, and not by that of the medium; cons^ vmtly tho medium isnpf fatigued but refrcahelNgud invigorated by speaking, writing, singing..playing or even healing under positive spirit control. My friend, Joel Tiffany, years ngo told me that when he wrote under spirit controL tho dis­course or essay cost him no effort whatever, and he had not the slightest fatigue from (hi) performance. Such is The generarexporlenee of true mediums; they do wonderful th ln g H which would exhaust others, and are fresh and vigorous at the end. But when the medi­um only fancies a spirit c o n tr o l, which gives him the uppcaranca of genuine medlumship, nfton deeetviqg both himself and his hearers, he may be stimulated and ass is led by that be­lief. but it does not take away the fatigue of prolonged exertion.

Let ft bo remembered that good mediums may appear in every phase or medlumship, and that success at one time Is uo guarantee of uniform success. The gradations of mured meritum«Atp are infinite. In many cases the medium has a psychometric conception of the absent spirit, and endeavors to conform to that conception. In other cases he merely assumes the mood of the spirit through habit ns Booth would .asdumo the role of Hamlet; In other cases, his psychometric rapport brings him Into eucli sympathy with tbe spirit as to make a good personation, though the spirit has no control or participation. To distin­guish between such psychometric persona­tions and genuine control, is often quite dif­ficult.

One of the earliest incidents of my spirit­ualistic Inquiries would illustrate tills sub­ject. A medical friend found a good subject or medium in a young German girl, whom he put into trance and through her consulted Hahnemann upon his cose. Hhe wrote Hahne­mann's prescriptions, slgolug them with his name, all in German. It occurreirt» him to consult a liviiigphyaiciirfriii the same man­ner, and throughher he obtained In the some way a prescription from Prof. B. L. Hill, of Ohio. Certainly, Dr. Hill win not a spirit controlling her;theadvlccohtaln'ed from him was a mere psychometric rapport with Id« mind, and yet it appeared like a spirit controL

rnconsriotts psychometric rapport is not control, but may give good communications; bnt messagesTrom the medium alone, limit­ed by Ills own capacities and often controlled by his surronndings,have been the source of a vast amount of delusion which, if recorded, would make a sad bnt rather amusing record.

Spirit messages, mixed message« and me­dium messages abound—the latter a source of abundant foUles and misfortunes. We sometimes see men aud women of apparent Intelligence, given tip to this folly to the neg­lect of their duties, accumulating volumes of .platitudes and delusions—like a wealthy o|n gentleman in till* region, who though repeatedly deluded, gives up his dalles and obligations to speud his time In writing vol­umes of trash, at the dictation of a medium, which he fancies are important revelations.

Nevertheless mediumshlp la not all folly and delusion. A very largo proportion of wlmt Is current is really of great value, hut coin that Is habitually alloyed and debased must lose Its reputation and general curren­cy. Thirty years ago I asked Judge Ed­monds how he distinguished between his own subjective conditions and his objective spir­itual perceptions. He camljdly confessed

Healing on her bonom, H .«ank to Bleep, weary from the paiu and struggle of tho last sickneNe.

I haw them often, as they came to the old home, for titer were drawn by the powerful magnetism of love. As you sat weeplng.your aunt would bring yonr child'*nil piut-» ft otl yonr lap. Then U would look wondering]* up in your face arid put Its Uttlo hand agalust yonr cheek or in your hair, it did not know what had occurred. It knew not that It had left its mortal body. When you did not notice Its caress, it hernme grieved and then its guardian would take It in her arms and In » manner I cannot explain, sub­stituto bereelf In your place, and the darling was again happy and »ntont. Jt was ex­quisitely dressed in gauze pale bine,and deli­cate in pattern, like that its guardian wore.

from time to time I observed her growth and advancement In knowledge. Both were more rapid than if sho had remained On her first birthday her guardian came with her late in tho evening, and both were ex­ceedingly happy. She was crowned with lovely flowers and bore a bouquet in her hand. Her guardian explained that she had taken her to a group of children whom she had un­der her care, and they had made her their queen and crowned her because of the event. They had nil an toyed tho day and many more w ere in store. Harsh words, the stinging re­proach, tho jeer of selfishness, the biting winds of envy and jealousy to her would for­ever bo unknowq.

When three years had passed, I saw her as a child of five. She knew the relaliorH of life and death, and that her guardian and mother wet» distinct. It was a singularly beautiful sight to see her float into the room where her mother sat. and throw her arms around her neck. She was not grieved be­cause she met no response, for she exported none. Itor heart was overflowing with ten­derness, she had become exquisitely beauti­ful with an indescribahto softness, transpar­ency and purity, which no artist'- pencil could represent, the embodiment of spiritual qualities. Jt was a Joy to gaze on her per­fection. Trained In the angel school with such companionship when a score of years had passed, you cannot In fancy idealize her position or attainments.

Gove you Brill? „With nil the Immeasurable depths of an

angel's Jove.Will you know her when you meet jin that

Bhore?Aye, she wili be first to welcome yon, os

you were first to welcome her.Treasure the little shoeft, hut do not now

think of the darling us a child. Those feet now tread the zones which span the spheres, and tho babe, fulJ.growu, to peer to tin* toil and shining ones who dwell in Tight.

Yon weep! ü, that I might open your spir-V ’ " II * trillilua eyes, that you might see all tftis. Then would your sorrow lie changed to joy. The dreudful wound, the memory of which makes vou shudder and cry in anguish, would be healed.

AProf,

letter from Mr. Edward Whymper to '. J. Norman Lockyer, the English astron­

omer. give« some Interesting particulars edn- eerntng an eruption of the South American volcano of Cotopaxi which occurred In I8Sf». At the commencement of the eruption Mr. Whymper was making hia. famous ascent of Chimborazo, and waa mf(reNrilan ISjOQO feet above sea-lore], and about; sixty-five mile* from CutopaxL-vA dence^cblumn of smoke was seen to rtoe Nunfitonly from the volcano to a height of About «1,0(10 feet above the sea, when It was borne westward some twenty miles by a strong wind, und then gradually spread In all directions. Iu a few hours the cloud passed between the observers and the sun, and color effects surpassing iu vivid In tensity those of tho most gorgeous sunsets were then witnessedthe sun itself appear­ing green. As tho cloud passed overhead and surrounded the mountain-climbers tbe bril­liant colors ceaeed to be seen, while an ex­ceedingly fine dost fell upon, everything. This remarkable observation seeniH strongly confirmative of the view that late unusual eunsets and other atmospheric phenomena have been due to votcanio duet floating high lu the a i r ,___________________

Of the fourteen scientific expeditious sent out by the leadiug governments of the world to make observations at different stations la tbe Arctic regions during the year ending August 31,18S3, eleven have safely returned, andfthrec—Inciodtngthatof the United States at Lady Franklin Bay—will continue their observations for about another year.

It seems that the injurious effect* some­times resulting from the use of canned foods are not nlways due to the presence of lead in cans, At a late inquest- near London, medi­cal evidence was given to tbe effect that death had been caused by eating salmon which had been poisoned through decomposition by ni­trate of tin formed by tbe action of the pres­erved fish on the tin of the can containing it.

A Bombay physician, W.G. Balfour, recent­ly pointed ont that tbe uso of certain kinds of fish in some seasons of the year seemed to play a part In the production of cholera. He has since discovered In the blood of one of these flab, bacterial organisms resembling those found by Dr. Koch in tbe Intestines of cholera patlenla lu Egypt.

The Constitutional Convention of Montana Territory, now coproueti-aUtiie Capital, Hel­ena, has adopted two Mnportant sections as part of Its fundamental law. Section nth declares that:

“ Neither the legislature nor any county. City, town or school district or other public corporation shall ever make.'dlrectly or in­directly, any appropriation, or pay from any public fund or moneys whatever, ur make any grant of lands or any property, in aid of any church, or for atiy sectarian purpose, or ti> aid lu the support of any school, academy, seminary, college or university, or other llt- erarv or'.doutiQc Institution, controlled In whole or pert by any church, sect or denom­ination whatever."

Section 10th la still more Important, and Montana is to bo congratulated:’ No religious or partisan test or qualifica­tion shall ever he required of any person ns a condition of admission into any public ed*. urutinual instltuttdn of the State, either as teacher or student, nor shall attendance he required at any religious service whatever, nor shall jniy -sectarian tenets be taught In any public educational institute of the State, nor shall any person be debarred on accouut of sex."

A correspbrident.fif the Boston-//era /<f says: “ Von notice that I refer to women physi­

cian-:. Most emphatically I believe In giving any woman who has the divine Inspiration, adequate education, ample opportunity for observation, and then a chance to practice on her fellow-women,-xAn eminent surgeon here has as his assistant a girl of twenty-two, and he tells me that her nerve Is superb, and that she is worth half a dozen ordinary male assistants. 11 In practice is extensive, and he known whereof he speaks. I have had occa­sion to test In my own family the experience and knowledge of a woman physician, with the greatest possible benefit. Hoes it not stand to reason that an intelligent woman, devoting herself to the practice of medicine, educated.skilled and experienced, starts with advantage over an equally intelligent, edu­cate*! and experienced man wheD ehe comes to deal with woman'? Can a man understand the thousand and one mysteries and miseries of the female organization? Can a woman ex­plain to a man the foeUngs.senutlonB. pains, places, peculiarities, that need correction and attention? I do not see that It la possible. But you eay we need a physician sometimes in the middle of the night. Ah. now yon toneh prejudices; now you fall prostrate be­fore Sister Brandy. Mrs. Grundy would think it awful for a woman to go out at midnight. Why? Because she might be spoken to or insulted by some mao! Precisely so. Then it Is time for my second proposition to be con­sidered, and for us, an men, having control of the Ikws. the police and the agencies of civ­ilization. to see to It that our women can go out a t midnight,or any other time, unmolest­ed. uninmlted, to follow the necessities of

-their duty."^HOtffWK SEEM TO THE SOCIETY ISLANDERS.

Royalty has lately visited New York in the shape of Queen Pomare of Tahiti, one of the Society Island*. An Interviewer says of her:

"Bhpi* tall, appears to be about thirty years 0|d, and walks with a quick, springy Step, Her complexion is a pretty bronze, her hair Is. a dead black and straight as an In­dian’s, tbe Ups are full and red. and Her Ma jesty*« nose has tbe true Grecian outline.

Hhlrt." , L ,WOMEN IN CITIES.

A reporter of the New York lUorfd, lately Interviewed a sewing woman in the top of a tenement liouw lu that city. Those who wish

FrcFrench fluently.Her Majesty admitted good-naturedly, that

her tastes were “ barbaric" and that she was jjijt'partictilarly charmed with wbat she had aeen in her travels. Bhe missed the comfort­able freedom hi dress, the balmy air, the eve­ryday life of her Sonthern home.

One of the peculiarities that struck tbe Queen most forcibly was the apparent ab­sence of enjoyment amoogvthe' people, Every body, seemed to be In a hdrty and shp had heard no one sing and had Mard^very few laugh. Now, at home the harden of life was contentment and the cares were few and cos­

her own country the ladles wear a kind of loose gown of thin textilre, which 1» charmed every day and is never put on again until It has been washed, Mostdf the ladles have

to come to the city for work may toke heed from the picture he draws. “The room was about ten feet square and had one window opening on a court, and though lu the top of oi the house the light was’scarcely sufficient to permit her to aee to new on the buttons she was placing with n mechanical swiftness on a pile of shirts «1 her feet. A cot bed stood In one corner, which looked clean, but scanty as to clothe* and devoid of a pillow. Two chairs, a board nailed against the wall for a Shelf, a email old table and a liny, broken stove completed the furniture. There was no carpet and the cold wind penetrated the room.”

Here the poor sonUwas keeping herself In tls body by finishing off shirts at «even cento a dozen. This work consisted of putting on each-four gunnel*, three buttons and u ticket. Or she made calico sacques at sixty cento a dozen, men’s drawers at forty-five cents a dozen, linen duster» at eight cento a piece, oT woollen shirts at thirty cents a dozeu. By one way or another she earned $2.to per week, “ Out fit this I pay seTenty-tive cento for rent and forty cents for coal and wnod.wblch leave« me one dollar and llfiyrento for fo»*d,clothes, itied lctoe, car fare, theatre 11 cketsktid a box at the opera. Seriously, though. I buy a quarjer of a pound of tea,;» half pound of sugar, one pound nat meal, one pint of heaps, two ten cent loaves of bread, one soupbone, and per­haps It costs a couple of cents a week for salt, pepper and herbs for my soup. I buy a quar- er of a pound of butter per week and some­

times r get a little milk for my ten. The things I have eiiumoraled generally formmy.hill of fare for a week...... I spend aboutone dollar and twenty-five cents for food,and it cost» me four cents u week for kerosene. I must save and pinch very closely to be able to buy shoe» and clothes. Only that J had soma f don't know what ( should «lo. I don't know how the other women gel along. Some­times four and even six club together and pay room rent, and they say they find It costs jesa for food; but I am not sure about that."-

A SERMON ON SPECIAL TMA INI NO,The poor woman continued:

It is' indeed a hard life. You will find among those win* dn what is called "slop work* more decayed gentlewomen than those who have been born to poverty tor those who were born of poor parent« are generally put to learn trades, which, though none too well paid, still afford a better living. Tlitho who were never obliged to learn a trade In youth, when reverses came were only able to do such work a» this. You may be »ure that I tried to da better, yet you see me here, glad when I have health ana work, , .One or the great­est trials of this kind of life Is that one is almost obliged to live In dirt, for the woman who works for tyr very bread most not leave that work for a minute.'*

The reporter nsked: “ Did I ever try for any other work but this?"

For one year I tried to get a position as governess, housekeeper, copyist in a store, and received only insult for my advertise­ments. I then began answering advertise­ments. as my money was all gone. 1 still found no honest position. E don't Hay honor* able, tor I only asked for hnnestemptoyment. ! was t«Mi old tor a * saleslady,* too unattrac­tive to draw custom, and tor* ‘ particular,’ 1 was fold on two occasions when [sought em­ployment us housekeeper, and asked the men about their fa nil He-» .and refused to go in the capacity they offered. 1 have been a b»xik agent, and prefer this life. Oil, It was not without a long, hard fight against fate, that 1 drifted into this slave’s life, and worse, for slaves at least had food and shelter and care when sick; but here I am, and I only form one out of an army who work as T-dn. I don’t complain. I ought to to* content, tor I am n capitalist In a small way, as I own a sewing machine. A firm tor whom I worked at mak­ing men's underwear, sold it to me on instal­ments to be paid tor In work. It was a sec­ond-hand machine, and E worked for it and paid forty-five dollars. I t kept nw bound to them for three years, to earn my Ttreart and pay for that.

Dr. Smjtli and Elisabeth Hluqrt Phelps's New Book.

Kor many year# It has been a c tirions specta­cle to llie cut Ighteu sd ,u uprej udlred thinker to see theologians using their reasoning powers to belittle and. sllllc the reason of others; doctors and laymen alike in the church have considered it a duty to preach against the use of unaided and uninspired reason. Re­cluse it was used often to expose false sys­tems of relig1on,and was opposed to so-called revelation, and because it was held to bo ir­reverent and linplotis, therefore it was al­ways feared that this thinking principle, if allowed lo show unreason and unsouudness in the churchTwould let in m much light that the foundations might be put in jeopardy ; and also that many would follow and think them­selves out of the old doctrines, In regard to God and his government of man. So wedded have meu become to false“ doctrines and institutions that bate been baptized "sa­cred," that they have come through Inherited formalism to undervalue the real divinity in human nature.

A late Instance of the decrial 9! discussion on these questions, is that of the ltev. Anson Smyth, D. D., in the New York Erangelitt. He says: "Debates upon these subjects give me no satisfaction,” and yet he discusses them freely in a fnll column and a half of that paper, fils article Is entltiei) "Heaven,” and Is called out by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’s new book. "Beyond the Gales," He declares it contains things he cannot approve, still It

¿ft ’’apparent." he continues, "that none but a soul permeated with love to Christ, and with a desire to do good, could hare written It."

He gives a picture qr two, lu the outael, of • the New Jerusalem, as described by “our blessed Lord In his Gospels," thinks them singularly beautiful and impressive of a hereafter of happiness awaiting those on earth who have served^God; and notes that Jeeus repeats the idea with emphasis In the closing chapters of the Bille. Thesodescrlp- ttons of paradise, he Is in doubt whether to receive In a literal or figurative sense; ind questions if heaven Is indeed a locality or only a spiritual condition. There Is a view to these questionings which show« an earn­est hunger, not only for insight, bat for knowledge. That his heart Is Importunate, like the hearts of many around him, there pan be no doubt, but tbe struggle is unmis­takable between this hunger andjtlie dogmas In which he has been educated, and which hate so long ruled both reason and aspira­tion; for he tells us that he knows nothink and (area to know nothing of the employ­ments or the .character of the enjoyments "of the saved"..., "more definitely than wo are taught ip the Word of God," and yet acknowl­edges that within the week he has been "deeply Interested” In reading Miss Phelps*« book. "It Is a work of fiction,■* he says, "but moat cultured people hold her writings in high regard." The readers of the Evangeliti need not be told what she has written during the t u t twenty years. He says she la not re­garded as Bound in her theology: “Things which orthodox people fully believe as God’s unerring truth, she treats here and there, now and then, with a degree of tlgbfncea and disrespect almost sufficient to call the eptrit of Afoeee Stuart hack to Andover, to teach her bettdr theology and better manner»." What tf the Instructed >and enlightened spirit of this aneoetor were really Inspiring Use

Phelps to teach this new faith which confers so much Joy and comfort on the human race at this IImo? How Burprising It would be to Dr. Smyth to bo convinced of ltl And yet It le In perfect consonance with the utterances and workings of "the spirit" and of the llln- mlnatlon ofJudlvldual» hero, by the persua­sive and intelligent Influence of friends In the world of spirits. And If we are Ignorant of it, or, If we do not d^lre It, It may bo so nevertheless. The Journal does not urge tills point In this case, but Dr. Smyth’s state­ment suggests the thought and It Is not im­possible. nor at variance with rational law.

The Doctor, refers lo "The Gates Ajar," and says |t "was read with Intense interest by thousands, though by many not with entire approval." Why? Only because It conflicted with preconceived opinions; probably with re­gard to endless happiness and misery. He "takes no interest in many speculations of many people concerning heaven, which are not clearly warranted by words which bare come to its fltmr heaven.” Ohl how many messages "from heaven" are disregarded, ignore«!, scoffed at! Like Rhone 11«, men are lured by pleasure or controlled by fear (either of future punishment, or of the ridicule of their fellows) and are swallowed up with material pursuits, so that there is no time to ilsten to the Voice! No time to receive tlio blessings!

The Doctor say« in regard to “The Gates,” "her materialistic views of heaven met the sharp criticism of the most serious-minded of her readers.” Tet he has been impressed with tlio grandeur of the “city with walls of precious stones, with gates of pearl and streets of gold.” With the "trees of life that border the beautiful river which flow« through this city*” and "the impressions left in nit serious minds, by the words of Jesuit, are of joy, holiness and glory.” It is true he does not know whether to receive these literally or figuratively; but when he doubts "whether material objects exist there,” one Is remind­ed of an old ’’Infidel" theory, oncp frequently, and sometimes now brought out, that when we leave this world, "wo are all merged in the great ocean of mind." So with no ma- terlal objects, we could not cognize or see each other. We should be without material presence; and hence, ns far as recognition of friends is concerned, we should not exist; tor thought has an embodiment here, and the spiritual philosophy teaches Jt has, In the unseen world. N

The Doctor relates some of the experiences given In the book (which each can read for himself) and does so with’fairness a? well, ns with evident admiration; bnt throughout his article, one can see and feel iltst the attrac­tion of the truth, and then the repulsion In­duced by the rooted error of a false religion. In the beginning the free-thinking reader will be amused by his assumed Indifference to the conditions of the future world as con­sidered by those outside the church, and In the end saddened by his denials of real good received from the book, "except the quicken­ing of our lmpresslon»couceniing the world to which we go;” and "thfe helps to appreciate the terrible character oi sin;” ami ‘’that It makes all worldly ambitions appear infinite­ly unworthy of the care of an Immortal soul;* and "It stimulates to Christian activities.’ Well, it may be asked, what could be nobler’ Are not these tbe serious alms and needs of Beriotis and thoughtful men and women everywhere? "TIioho who love the Lord will be greatly assisted ^ jad in g it,” says Smyth, "though thero'ar© pahs of It that had better been left ont.”

Ho gives at some length the story of a Magdalen whom the heroine met "Beyond the Gates,” and whom she was unprepared to meet In heaven; bnt the wanderer tells how “the Master” met her* how ho taught her, and never reminded her of the Biuful life she had led; nnd that “he never py word or look let her feel ashamed In heaven.” But the J ournal should say here, that tlio heroine had met and persuaded this Magdalen when on earth, and while it did uot change her at the time, the words left n memory and an Impress which had their effect at last.

Dr. Smyth relates thq circumstance« of fe­ver under which the heroine falls Into the trance when s h e ^ n n s her 'body, nnd cau- tionsly makes comparWKi between them and those under which Tennah^ of New Jersey, had similar experience«. He says, "Those who have read and believed'lhe account of William Tennant of New Jersey, the friend oi Whitefleld, who for days lay Ju a condition of apparent dually and which time hla spirit was in heaven, cannot deny the possibility of such thing«.” Mjhydoes not the Doctor teH the readers of the Evangelist what he “be­lieves" In regard to William Tennant’s visit to the Spirit-world? What hold» him back from frank speaking? And why, If aneh things are to him true and attractive, and If I hey answer the seeking of men*« minds and hearts, does ho not admit and make refer­ence to like experiences of men at this hour, and of women; aye, of children, for "out of the mouths of babes and sucklings” also, "baa He perfected praise;" and more, has not this preacher who is many times In a year called to^be sick and the dying, some testi­mony, of hla own or testimony of those de­parting from earth, that angel friend« come to meetand convoy thsm to the new scenes apd adtlvltlee; and to »oothe, tenderly soothe, those they were leaving behind?

It would seem to be far better for all of this fellowship, and their kindred in the or­thodox churches, to come boldly up tooths Spiritualist's "anxious seat," and Ilsten openly to tbe voice .of Truth saying, *Teri- Uy, verily, I say nnto thee, we speak that we do know and testify that,we have seen.- Why

Value or the Bible.

No qûestlon le receiving more attention to-day in the orthodox churches (so-called) than this; for It 1« n vita) question. All the ology depends upon It. Every doctrine ap­peals to the Bible for support, which 1« prob­ably the chief reason for so many conflicting doctrines being held and taught. There are those who hold that the words (though in a translation) are sacred words, God's words, Infallibly true, no matter if wrongly copied from original MSS,, or falsely translated; that the punctuation Is divine, though only throe hundred years old; that every promise made to the Jew« belongs in a different sense to alt Christians; that Its science, i ta geogra­phy, ite system of medicine, everything but Its condemnation of usury, is divinely perfect, meant for all time.

There are others who attack-just as ab­surdly as the preceding class praise. They talk of Its Indecency. So it 1», In the sense that a medical book may be kept from the young, because It details physiological facts 'not necessary for them to know then; they say Its science Is fatea, that the book abounds In contradictions of Itself; that It is filled wllh all evil things. 80 the two armies stand opposed, engaged In slinging epithets at each other, while each persistently refuses to examine such proofs as tho other side proffers In support of their cherished opinion«; and thus the armies have stood for years.• But another class, who cannot join in tho unreasoning worship of one class nor the foolish abuse of the oilier (testing the Bible by nil the light of to-day. In spite of tho cry that testing implies doubt and he that doubts i« damned), find much that 1« valuable In it, also much that is valueless; a great body of divltio truth, a large quantity that they doubt, and some things thnC they positively refuse to accept. Most of tho prosecutions for heresy in the chnrch have como from new view« of the authority of the Bible. In the beginning of donbtlhg. it is the doctrine that Is doubted, but only because one doubts that on which it rests.

In different parts of the country, preach­ers are dofluIng their position In regard to the Bible, and conversations with ministers, generally reveal a much deeper doubt than Is suffered to appear .in public utterance. The Bible Is on trial before the community.It Is no longer a finality. Men aro coming to the conclusion, that either ths Bible Is not Inspired, or that inspiration docs not Insure absolute truth; though few theologians have advanced far ehçugh to perceive this last troth, that the Bible Is Inspired, but not, therefore, of necSèjty, true. To this they wjll come In time. Rev. Ur- Thomn«, of this city, preaching lately on- “The Blble-ito Place and Value," after a close analysis of the general virtue« of thé Bible, says:

with spiritual experiences of meb are valua­ble, and no book Is so rich In these as the Bible. IU "place" ts Ju all our home«—LU "value” Just what wo can get oat of it, and we get oat of it always what wo put Into It.

The Religion of the Coffin.

“And now, further, through all the long period covered by tho Old and New Tonla­ment». there is a clearly marked development of doctrine. The Idea of a living Oral, an­nounced iu the beginning and confirmed by the patriarchs, was largely lost during the irm years of bondage in Egypt. The legiala- tlou and ceremonial worship under Moses sought by-object-lesson« to restore this knowl­edge, and to tlirowdntotbe minds of the peo­ple tho thought of parity. There fcwt clear advance in t/iis knowledge and worship in tho touchings of the prophets, where the em­phasis of all Is carried beyond the offerings of «acriOces upon altars to the offering of the life In the service of God. and the Inward Parity of the worshiper. And then in Christ God 1» manifest In tho flesh..and the King­dom of God becomes a kingdom of principles of truth, and love within. The Jehovah who dwelt in th e ’Holy of Hollos’ In the Taber­nacle 1» revealed In a divine life; revealed as a spirit and declared to be the “Father of the spirit« of all flesh.’ And when this special form of manifestation has prepared the wav, the Day of PentecbHlitio Holy Spirit 1« sent forth, and God bicoroeS Imminent in all thing« and all places aro temple« of worship. And with this progress of doctrine and this transition from tho outer formB to tho Inner substance and life of religion tho veil Is lift­ed from the future-eternal life 1« Been as n present fact, the life of God with men and In their hearts; and thus immortality become« a fact; men aro in eternity hero-tlielr lives take hold on eternal principles, and hence death cease« to be death in the old sense, and Is only a ‘steep’ or ’change* by which the ro?™ , P'lto on Immortality.’ And along

w-ith this the whole scene of earth. JU lavra of righteous ness, of rewnrdsand penalties, Its training, IU education, la carried over Into the world to come.

"And now what shall wo say of oueba Book? Is It all inspired? Is it all the Hter- al word of God? No; we cannot say this. The Bible Itself makes no such claims. Otir tert

'AH SOTlptnre U given by Inspiration of God —referring, of course, to tbe Old Test­ament, for the New was not yet compiled. But the revised version says; ’Every Scripture In­spired of God,’ and this U the true tran«la- tJou.

This heading of a «ketch of one of Dr. Tal- mage’s sormons rather startles one at first. A religion with death for IU Inspiration, that belittles life to exult death—is there such a religion? Yes, it Is true that such a religion 1« taught, for Babbulh after Sabbath the dec­laration Is made that death ends all progress; thaj a life may be filled full of sin, bnt if. at the last, one does but "look to Jesus,” he Is eared, and death prevents his ever fallthg from grace thereafter. The good men of earth, ths only one« who really perceive how veryTkLlhey are from qven «uch approach to perfwtlon as Is possible for them, are taught that aPatbshall suddenly make them fit for a heaven infcwjvhlch nothing “ that deflleth or maketh a UeTNvan enter. To sucSt teachers the short life of JUsua, so filled with love of humanity, so marked with self-sacrifice, so divine In Its lore for the poor and suffering, 1« of vastly lyss account than hla death, hi«

treaurrecllon-not his birth, the real basis for the «Inner’s hope, thtytohureh’« existence. The awful nature of death, not the grand problem of life Is the pot theme, the thought to which all other themes are forced Into re­lation—a veritable Religion of tho Coffin. Nay, some even oppose cremation, because they say the Bible demands a coffin for the body. Some sprinkle holy water on the cof­fin, and consecrate tho ground in which It Is placed^ Holy coffins, lu a holy place. It Is supposed will give «pedal distinction to the dead bodies they contain, when the body shall be raised again, perhaps some thou­sands of years from now. Who teaches this religion of the coffin? Thousands of minis­ters in this country alone, anjl there Is due cars taken that tho HUpply-shnll not fall short. Every yonng man In the theological seminaries is taught to continually present the importance of death. Life! oh, that Is only to prepare for death. If one demurs,and «hows a sense of tho importance of life, of the need of doing well, of living rightly,that death Is but what Job calls a "change" while the life goes on forever, ho Is «nspectod of rationalism, or of some other hqresy.

Bo the work goes on yojnjiftor year. *If a bad ipan jlies, »oSceTuMv and calmly, they call ln**brutal indifference;” if a believer “dies In hope,” It Is a "victory over death;*’ and this same victory over death they are never snro of achieving; at the best, they only hope for It. The chief use of a man's life Is that he may die. Some of our mil­lionaires, who build massive tombs to render It certain that their bodies shall be preserv­ed witbont mixture till the re.snrrection-day. give good evidence of tho hold this Religion of the Coffin has upon them. SomoUmes It Is the only sign of religion they display. Bui tho heretic, who should,hint that tho bodies they are so careful of, were made up from particles of many other bodies, and that as each must have his own. despite the massive tomb«, in the only resurrection taught to and believed by them, they maybe so despoil­ed as to have literally, "not a leg to stand on.11

Spiritualist« know this Religion of the Coffin to be a false one. They preach eternal life,deny the possibility of eternal death;

vknow that It is the life here that determines the character of the life that «hall eternally be. To make this section of our life noble and pure, so that the beyond shall be bright

,and glorious, is eurclj?wi^r than to accept of death as a Savior, or to suppose that a heaven we have not won Is possible, or would be endurable if possible. And the friends who baye passed throngh death, Iis they come back to us, preach over, along with the glad tidings of Immortality, not a Rellgioli of the Coffla, bnt one of life peaching bn throngh eternity—ilfe, which, means doing, lovlug, flerving, growing, forever.

Ur. Leonard Howard, who passed serenely to spirit-life at St. Charles, 111., February 21st, was born In Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, Angust 18th, 1605. In November, 1812, hla parents removed to tbe town of Sclplo,Cayuga County, N. Y., where his father died In 1818. Soon after this event he was apprenticed to Enoch Coburn, a mason and bricklayer, with whom ho remained until ho atftined his majority. In January, 1828, ho married Caroline E. Smith of Buffalo. In 1830 ho emigrated to Illinois, where ho ha», resided op to the time of hi« death. He leaves a wife and six children,'three sisters and<W brother, and a largo circle of friends.

Mr. Howard was a devoted Spiritualist, and his wife and ope daughter (Mrs. Bishop, of thb city) being excellent mediums, ho had -ampleopportunity to become familiar with, tbe teachings of exalted spirits, and there­fore he learned to regard death os a natural change—simply consisting of casting off the material body and assuming one specially adapted to life in the Spirit-worid. He pass­ed away, fully ranlizing the sabllme fact that several of hla own children who had preceded him, wouid stand ready In spirit- Ilfe to extend to him a cordial and affection­ate greeting. The funeral was largely at­tended by the friends of * the deceased and the public generally, all of whom could at­test to hts many sterling qualities.

On the (Uh page of this issue will be found a brief extract of the funeral address deliv­ered by Hon. Joel Tiffany, who while speak­ing, saw the spirit form of the deceased stand­ing torth radiant, happy and cheerful, ap­parently rejoicing la thp great change that had taken place.

Brother Curry’s remarks at the lalo min(s‘ .tor’s meeting, as reported by Dr. Adam Mil­ler, the stenographer, ami commented upon by Brother Thomas, seem to have stirred the Methodist bile most dreadfully; Indeed, quite universally ho to speak. To weaken tbe ef­fect of the stenographic report, it is claimed by th^voracious editor of the ,V. IK, CArij* i/an .diitwoto, that Dr. Miller Is a bungler and not an expert. We have seen tho testl. mony of Dr. Miller’s pnplls to the effect that lo an incredibly short time they had become ■ able to report one hundred words per minute. It seems to a heathen, therefore, quite proba­ble that one who can advance a student at »neh a rate, ought to be able to follow a Methodist minister, oven when the reverend gentleman is going at sohinusual a paee as to rattle 1 be end-board out of tho Methodist wagon and run beyond orthodox limits, into the track of liberty of thought and spirit of tbo''agB.

Outward applications were made with HnJ- menhKbnt they did not reduce the Inflamma­tion or «welling. This condition continued without relief until the lfith.of last Septem­ber, when she called Dr. W.

■Mr, Labouch^re once came acroe* an aged physician at New London, Con«., and a«ked him why he lived there. He said that he had visited grave yards In all parts of the world, and noted the average age at death. Having found that the average was highest In New London, and being desirous of Inhabiting this planet as long as possible, he had taken up his abode there. The only real test of the salubrity of a district Is its death-rate; all else is mere interested theory.

For some time tbe line worked badly, and at last a telegraph opera­tor was sent to examine the wire*. After searching for a few miles the clerk found at the top of one of the telegraph poets a magpie’s neat mast ingeniously constructed. The bird has wrenched away with It« beak tbe wire which bound the line to tbe Insulator, and after twisting the wire tn a suitable position built Its neat there.

At a regular meetiDWof the Splritiiotttl society pf this dty on Thu redaii February gist, the following resolution* were adopted and directed to Ito publish­ed In the dally papers of this city:

JUMifrftl, That the proposed law lo prevent all j«er- *on* from practicing tnedlclueor tbo healing art In

- Iowa, excepting those who liar«« diplomas from some mefilrul («dirge. demun«l# the aflimllnn of nil lovers of liberty, tivczute such a law, would be a step back­ward toward lha antique system of unequal privilege and private monopoly which was supposed to bare been overthrown in the French revolution,

ttuoU-oK That doctors are born, and nutuiadMad wo regard the old schools of medicine as being mon­uments of folly, destitute of science or regular ay»* torn, Wing a vast batch of experiment«; and In the language of a modern author, the American people expetuf hundreds of millions of dollars yearly on doctors, only to break down millions of constitution*.

/tesofmf. That Ibe American Indian doctor, with bis Intimate knowledge of Wildwood herbs and oral* ri* flower». Is more honorable than the man with a diploma who doctor* oat of book« and depend* on drugs which he bas no baud in preparing, and which are not only adulterated, hut In many case* vitiated by tlielr slats condition.

Rfwired. That Jesus ClrrUt united the healing art with religion, ami also laid* Ills representative« to

theaJ the sick; the great healers of our own country ‘'have been «Intitule of collegreUU» or degrees; and

we know that the nurse« and mediums are not only healers, hut Instrumentalities In neutralizing to same d*gre«‘ the drag poison which curdle* lit the veins of civilization.

Knotted, That three resolution* be tendered to the dally papers of this city for publication, and Dint our senator and two representatives are requested to have them read In each chamber of the Iowa legis­lature.— Aiity .Yonpdneti, C ouncil Wfuffk, Iowa.

One night Iasi week while friends were sitting up With the onrp*e of a lady at a rraldenoe a tew miles south of this dty, some very singular and mysterious occurrence took place. During the night, nnd while Die room wo* In ruli lamp light whore the corpse lay, the drawers In the bureau began to shake nnd make n noise, tin« doors r*lll«l. and the mirror *u*- nend*d between the upright columns on Die bureau Iwgan to tilt back and forth. The door opened, and M often as it was dosed, until It performed this font as many aa erven time», it would open again. On a table In the room was a plate on which wiveral pi» hod been placed which were cut through Die centre and a case knife left Iwtween the her«anitol piece*. This kulf<* began to move nnd acted as though It pooneseed the power of locomotion. After watching Ms antic« for some time, It wa* place*! on lop of the pie*, but refused to be still, and continued for quite n time to hop about. Some ladles came into the room to remain while the gentlemen walked out for treeh air, ami on their return found the ladles In a terrible state of excitement over Ibe queer move­nt eule they had witnessed In the mom, and d««ctarlng they would not slay In It by themselves. After a Dm« the gentlemen IajT down on > bed. Just as sleep began to creep over tired nature the covering was strip; ofl. This woe repealed twice by some In­visible power., After some minute* bod elapsed and the room waa wrapped III sepulchral alienee, the watchers heard a soft step pacing tack and forth In the room, and, although a bright Ugbt Illumined the room, no object could be Men. Our Informant Is as truthturand reliable a gentleman as resides In Ihls community, and does not believe In Dm phenomena of Spiritualism. As the parti» do not deelre notori-

That this might be. Mr, Holjoake himself spoke In the chapel, first reading a letter sent by Mr. Stopford Brooke, which, from Its beautiful sympathy, was of the na­ture of a service. After that, be read from the Second Book of Eedras the remarkable dialogue between the Prophet and the Angel Uriel upon toe knowledge and duties of thie world, following Die words by a short oration upon Die three quallflea which die- tlnguMied Mrs. Holyoake— that of service of other«, in which she never thought of herself; tharof troth not of speech only, but of conduct, of which'«ho bod to clear a tense that the absence of Jt In others was not concealsble from her; that of pride, which was more than self-respect—It wiu Indeulleasorae— an In­dependence of obligation which was not a second nature—It waa her (Ireland the had no other.

She first bold-Die hnn«ile 'of dll umbrella, while four citizens held cords that were lle«l to Die umbrel­la,' nits]«'ruling it ill Die air. In about two rniuuD« the umbrella began to squirm and twist, and soon the stall was wrenched into two parts, and the um­brella was broken to pieces. Then Mr. Mlddle- broolca, weighing over 3Jti pounds, sat down It) a chair on the stag««, She placed her o|h«u bauds upon thntwk of Die chair, nnd presently the chair began to move, and soon Mr. Mlddlebrooks was thrown upon Du« floor. Another chair wa* then place«! on the stage, and Col. Murpbey of our town attempted to bold It still. She placed the palms «Tiber hand* on the seat of the chair and soon it began moving acre» the stage, and filially ««caped from OoL Mur- .pbsr’* gioepniul fell on Die floor. The „«am# fret waJ^repeftted with two aieu, then with Uiree, and finally with live«, with Die same result each time.

A rod about six feet long was placed In Die handsof n strong nun, who was skeptical-a* to the power» of Mis* Hurst. Soon thereat, toga« to move In spite of all his efforts to keep It ytiy. [«hurtled him acre» the stage In n Indlcroiui tnaîumT. After several sim- liar perfortnauev* wltli different men, who tried In vain to hold the chair* and rods still, the exercises closed. About live hundred of our beet citizens witnessed Urn performance, and they were conrincval that there was n«> *lel|fhl of hand In what Miss Hurst did.

Miss Hurel was born In DW“i In McMimi county. Tenti. When she wss a year old ln«r [<vrenbi r««- tnove-1 to Cvniar Valley, Folk county, (¡il, where they lutVe slnre rewliled. She ban gone to school but ten months in her life, hut was n remarkably »l't scholar while In school. She united with the Mlsalonnir Baptist Church when she was 12 years old, and I» a devout Christian. She succeed« I «ret In her perform­ance* when everything around her is quid. She caunpt b«r iinkiud tnwtmeiil on Ibe stage, and her »ItlflTge powers desert her when the speclatoni nt>- pt«ar to be unfriendly. When ezerllng her prculla' gifts she dot* not know what Is happening around her, and blindly follows the object moving from her. She of u«n has to be caught to prevent her from run­ning off at the front of Die stage or against a wall. She Is a brunette with bmgbtack hair and brown eysA weighs 125 pounds, and is a modest girt of re- Dring«liKp«MlUon.

Her unnatural power* were developed last Au­gust. One day she heard a peculiar rattling nolw. about the low! of her bed and told her mol her about IL Mrs. Hurst went to Dio room, heard Ute noise, slid cooctudal Dial Die« were rnU Inside the bed. She ripped open the l*d, but found nothing in IL Ml» Hurst became *o~fr1ghl«n«d one night at the noise In hernporlmeut that do* left her hkdu and slept elsewhere. A few nights later a young friend of Ml» Hurst was iqs-ndlng the night with her, and both became consldurably frightened. Mr. Huret and his wife concluded that Die cause of the phenomena tmtrt Inhere In tlielr daughter.

Lulu wa* aaknd on one occasion to sit down on a trunk at one end of the room, and soon the noise was bwtnl about the trunk. Soon after pebble* and stx«cltnena of Iron ore on Ibe mantel licgan to move »1 «ut, and soiiieof them would fid I off on Die floor when she entered the room. Article« of t'Joflifug would disappear for two or three days,filld lli«-n sinl- dehly be fodnd banging on a nail or picture In Uie family room. The «fishes and cutlery were greatly dUturlsvl when she went Into the dining room. She would lie down on a bed. nnd soon It would move about the room aa she willed. Or she could think of •ome tune, going over Die net» mentally, and the music would be heard from the head of her bed, as If from some musical Instrument. -

Thee* and other wonderful iwrformanct* were noised a broad .and people began to ftreemble in crowds to wUqeM the strange phenomena. The Atlanta Corutitutfan sent a reporter to her home to l«mi if the report* were true. The reporter w u convinowl, wrote an account of Uie affair, and after much tier- suasion prevailed on Mr. Hurst to lake hi* daughter to Atlanta and give a publia exhibition of her pow­ers, . Threesuocereful exhiblUons were given In At­lanta.

Lula Hurst and her pareille are plain country peo- and they are aa much astonished as any une el*«. They do not believe that U is Uie result of spiritual­istic In Hire ha*. Splrilualista have written to ML» Hurst, instrilug Umt InT strange power* are Ibe r«*- suit» of Spiritualism, hut she treat« Uiçir letters with c«onlrtnpL The phraomrna. It wm said at flmhwere produced by her muscular iowms, but [«hynlclans at Atlanta and elsewhere' have placed their hands be­tween her* and Die chair to he moved, « that onty the tips of her fingers touched the chair, but the re­sult* were not changed, other* have Ireld her arm tightly above the elbow to ascertain It there was muscirlar action, but net one was perceptible.

But ob- renaUou and ezperleuon t«ad taught that this was not so, Protoslant (’hriatrudom especially, divided Itself up Into liuinero«;* sects Iss-mse of such differ­ences of status and opinion. Mm mol women, equal­ly earnest, sincere and prayerful in Ibrir search, ar­rive«! at conclusions so dlfrerrul, that they could not conscientiously walk together here, in faith, doctrine an«l w«rvlc<\ and found It necreeary to build up sep­arate denominations: to erect separate house* of worship and Instroqjlon; and, thus, to seek separate inanslons In society, to maintain andilelend such re* llgtous and UiBologliafl differences. Thus, the Pres- byteriaB'translato* the teaching* of Die lilbla In such a manner, ns to summarize Die *auio Into a set of doctrin«« constiluDng the cr*e«l of the« Preabyter- lan; and Is known as tlielr cotifewlon of fallh. Tills need becoroee very obnoxlnua to another claw of men railing themselve* Methodiito, who have smn- marixed Die touchings of the Bible into n Methodist confession of lalllt, which contains doctrines enilro- ly opposite to the dixtrlnre of the Preehyterlarj. Therefore. Ibis MetimdUt and the Presliytorian be­lle vers are obliged to Istlld for Uramselve* here sep­arate mansions; and m long as, religiously and theo­logically, they remain Methodist* and Pr««ebjterianA they will rejulre different niauslofis, and If Die time envr rame when Diey cat) occupy the («nine mansion, It will tie wlrm all liocnint* Freebytortan* or all M cvm* M nth odists; or l-dli 'lein-mhinUous ce.w as such, and become In spirit and In truth, rhrisUana. Bui there are also lLi|itirt I'hrSrtlnns, making the m«xle of InpUsin soeeMntlal a feature Of faith and practice, that they require a ««tmrato mansion beio; nnd will continue to require It «null elUier nll bo- ponie Baptists or none an* #a So likewise there are K|ilsco(<allan l.lirlstinns who can r«vv«gulxi* no spirit­ual authority to teach rand administer in the Church, uni«1» It can be Iracvsl in a direct line to SC Fetor; therefore, the Episcopalian require« a separate man­sion and will continue to re<iulre such mansion un­til Din» differ«lie» cease, H# lllusiratod the effect of Uiese dlfferenc« by an anecdote of the presence of an Episcopal mlniator at a Baptist communion, where the Baptist minister apologized for not being aht# to'Invite the Episcopalian to the communion table. Th# Episcopal minister replied, that It was .of no consetmenev; because he, oa rvn Eplacopalian, cwihl not take the elements from the hands of one not authorized to administer Diem. You see, a sep­arate mansion becomes IndUtwnsable Tor those who entertain the» sectarian ilHTrretic«*. Therefore, there must be as many mansion* for three theologi­cal Christiana, n# there are these conflicting differ­ence* between them. Now if three dlfferenc« an* earnestly and hoaretly entertained, and In spirit, those who entcrtolb them,are Christians,these many mansion* must Lhs continued until three difference# are outgrown.

But what Is true of Pretretant Christians, is equal­ly applicable to other*. There are In community n very numerous body of inentasd women who are known aa Spiritualistic Thdr-peculiar faith giving them that name, Is, that all n m are litimortai, ana (bat, al physical death, lbeif «spirits enter upon a state nf active, conscious existence in continuation nf the present life; nnd that such splrtu, as a port of a spiritual universe, are jiotenUally In communica­tion with spirit* In the body; and that three are means by which such communications ore made, and Ibe fact of a future existence twyOml Die grave Ihus Iwcoittre luwured. iln# whose faith embrace# three items Is called a Splrilmdi-L Hp mvy. In his faith embrace other Hems making lilrn n Christian, or a Jew, or a Mohammedan, o ra Hindoo, or all Agnostic, or an Atltelst

There are among qs, a large number of religiously minded people, who, In faith and character, are es­sentially Christian. Who accept the teaching* of Jesus as worthy of all confidence; who, through obedience of his doctrines, seek oninpl«*ton»» of Ilf# nnd character. And there are other*, constituting a very numerous da», who have*no faith In, oy pa­tience with, those wno are religiously Inclined, ThpjL. differ frqin th* common Atheist, Materialist or Ag- n«*llr,only In the fact that man has a spiritual life whlclMmrrlvM Die shock of physical death; and whh'h llvre on In a future world of spirit*. This da» lake grrot «Might In marvelous mnnlfmtnUons of power tmd of remilts highly miraculous in charac­ter. T«5 such, spirit Enanlfretatlons have a charm so far they appeal to the curious, Uie wonderful, the seemingly impaMitdo—provided they do not summon them to seek n higher, purer, holler and bett««r life than Is agreeable to those who delight in self-indul­gence. This da» make themselves more conspicu­ous In and before the worlds than the class first named, and they are the one# who cast reproach upon the name of Spiritualism, nnd make It a »tench In the nostrils of all who desire the succem of Die good and the Due. He said tiioLihere Is u great a variety In faith nnd characton/Gmong those denom­inated Spiritualist, os there/are among professing Christians; and that they dlffsrod as widely on ques­tions of faith and practice, and that .Drey, too, re- ■qulred *e|«arate mansions In their saaoclatlona Ho «aid that the deceased, whose remain* were before us, was a fiplrituallst Id faith; and that he belonged to UiatctoM which sought lo become true, and pure and holy, and just and fsUbful In all their relations to Individual* and to society. He had been a long, Dusted and «teeuiwl citizen In their midst; and his commendation was In the months of all who knew him: and what is Tery remarkable, every class, nf whatever faith or belter, pronounced him to be worthy of the respect and esteem of «verybody.

All very true, .Mr. Way nick; and why not? Who amt whnl I» inert responsible for tills Blau* oi facta? [11« only one of Uie “transplanted Orientili Idea«," among Die many other* that come to us throng^ th*- Ihtde.whlch I’bristlanltv ha« stimqved 4*lnf»lllbl«i"and the ‘-in*plud word.of God." it Is the sacrari religion nf the Sformon church, founded upon the BtWe. Al! til# old Patriarchs of the Blhl*, who figuro! cut the propbel* aud ambonadora ot God, upheld and prac­ticed jiolygaray with his sanction end without tira leant rebuke. Not a word between the lid* of Ihe IHIlta (IH ami Now Tretammit—can b t found for- blddtog or «»nilemnlug II I presume Mr. Waynlck 1* a Christian and aero pis the ¡«opitlar view regarding the Bible. Other seel* found thirlr church and relig­ion' up*111 the "fungus growth'« of transplanted Ori­entai Ideas," In the Blbfe, such as baptism, the Lord's Supper, circumcision, repentance, belief, foreonllna- tlon and election, etc. without making polygamy a »(«octal feature. The Mormons Adhering more fin#e- ly toth# text and th# precept*/and practice ot the otd trader#, mak# a «jteclalty of f«o|ygau^ as a means of salvation. The practice has never breu wholly ex­tinct among number* of irasirlyall the other Christian sect*. The early father* of the church practice«! It to *oine extent, and the New Tre torn »tit command* that a Bishop should have at least “on# wife," Implying timi they might have more, which rom# ot them did. A vow of “celibacy" has osleustbly changed It since thru. Now since Die Bible Is held to b* the “Inspiravi and infallibili word of Obd,” I* It th* provine« of on; one sect to say that another on# »hall not draw In- *[ilralloti and comfort from Its plain tiuirliingt, sup- plum#uteri by the practi«»e of th« o!*l Patriarchs wh«> were propilei* nrirl mouthpiece* of God—who Were bis chosen luntmmente through whom he gave the "inspired word” nr book to the worldVTbe Mormons llkeolh#r>M)tuul llralr fallh nnd practice on the Bible, and no other sect (Mil un Ira rep them lir Die argument by «quoting from Ih# Infallible bonk.

The others, like the Mormons, have “their ralrahmarie-. tn almost every ImblDible nnrt of the glotw laboring zealously In behalf of" their theology, thus “march­ing bravi'ly on' from conquering to conqu«-r,"and why imi the Mormons Ibe rame right “is behalf of Joe Smith's theology," more repeclaliy a* it Is found­ed on the same Dltile nnd worship* the same God!

It will be a fatal «lay for the civil sod religious martire of the American people when the State step* In to suppura UÀ* religloiu right# of any sect nt lb# dictation of some «ritieni, upon any pretense what­ever. But this Is whal Mr. Wayutck wants itoneaa to the Mormons; a sect that differ* from his own lu religious faith and practice. No on# ran detort the Morin««» result of a“fungus growth of Oriental Idea.«" transplanted upon our eoli, more than I do, but no oilier Bible sect# must have right, with government backing to decide that th# Mormoni are not just as IioumL and «lucere lo tlielr faith nnd worship ns Ihey are lh#in*elve*.

8 R E L I G I O - P H I L O S O P H I C A L J O U R N A L . MARCH 8. 1884.

CtoatlnttM from n r* tru r» .son or star, anything In the whole material universe; for It la my promt faith In man, that hardened, eyiliuied, settled ns ho may often seem to he in this or that type or habit of life, lie can become anythingthat 1« good, that he la at heart plastic and not cast in any Inevitable mould,that there aro no unap­proachable heights outside of and beyond him, that hero, martyr. If need be. saint, Hod, are bnt ideals which In turn he may realize-

It Is no light or trilling or petty thing,then, to perform n moral action. Tne dignity of man Is In his capacity for such action, that he need no| follow the crowd, that his thoughts can determine him, that he can freely will the good, that he cat» be unselfish la w doing, that he can take captive all his wandering desires and Impulses and make h l r t t t r reflect the pure heaven of principle. This were It seems to me, to be a man. This were tube lifted above anxieties, to be no lodger the slave of fears or hopes; the only hope could be, to be more truly this, the only fear to fall from such a thought and such an aim, andHiecomo caught autl entangled In any of the lower concerns that are eo easy, oo natural and tempting to men.

And ws are introduced by thene considera­tions into another world than that of which we ordinarily take account. If you do not agree with the world and go along with It.the world becomes Indifferent to you. Well? we ore today, let It bo indifferent, and lot us be equally Indifferent to It.—1 mean of course to its opinion, to lln praise or blame; for after a while Its opinion and all Its standards of Judg­ment may change. Tne world counts on your

Cifotmancw and cares uotioryour thought;HA a man'n worth i» wholly qptorinineti by

his thought',we cure not from the moral stand­point what a man’*services,are to the public. If he does not mean tlioorservlcefl; yes, our standards of Judgment are so different, 4hat we may respect many a one who can do noth­ing for the public, who cannot lift a finger In aid of any cause, aifd yet whose soul glows and whose face now and then lights up Will a strange radiance, at the thought of the good. LoyaUly to the good, give me that in a man, and one of his dying moments will be worth more than the llfe-tlmo of many a so-called successful man.or than a whole succession of merely splendid princes or kings. What mat­ters It to the outside world, whether your chole? of the right is necessitated of free, whether you nreHelfish or unselQsh in the work It wants you to do, so you do it? But tree- dom and unselfishness, these though uo eye but our own can see or know them, are just the Inestimable things, nml all else Is a pass­ing Incident, In the scheme of our existence. Attachment to principle, the inner safely and anil health of the spirit,—what does the busy buHtllug world care for that? And yet it Is tha on iy thin g worth car I ug s iipreroe ly a bout; anil tho mad haste mid unrest of the world might almost be laughed ut, were’uot the mis­take about the end oi life so serious a one.aml

S re not the rightful aim of every member of hurrj lug crowd just the same as that we

know w« should set before ourselves.For there la an ideal aim for ever^son of

man. it is not anythlug.ouislde of ourselves. 'I t is not to please nny fancied supernatural being or to follow any far-away historical fig­ure m the past. It is closer to us than this, it is In our own heart, it Is given to us In our very nature as moral beings. There Is noth­ing higher than to perform n moral action, there is nothing in which the fulUdea and significance of our belng'Comes so to expres­sion as iu that. It is the victory of the di­vine in us.of something belonging to the com­pany of those elemental forces, wliich in the wide ages of the past have boon turning chaos into order, nml covering darkness with light. Proud may we bo to add to the sum of moral actions In tho world. Every time we Vise to that height, we set a new star In the inner firmament, ami I sometimes think that once gathered out of the unformed nebuhv„uf unr wishes and aspiration«,it must somehow shine forever. 1 somellmes even dare to think that if the stars of heaven should fall.thesc would not, since the stars of heaven would only fall, if something more perfect were to take their place.* nd anything more perfect than a moral action there cannot be. A higher perfection could come only in its owu enlargement/ In its becoming clearer, fuller, ampler, more ili- rlneiy radiant, not by any process that would resolve It and change It Into something else. For a moral action is pot any outward deed, or any single partial act of the will wllhin; all so-called moral actions are really after all part expressions of one action, and that Is tho total purpose of the soul, tho action of tho life. Notwithstanding all trilling varia­tions. wo are moving In one direction or an­other. No single good thing wo do counts save as ti Is part of a purpose which sweeps on beyond it. And no purpose Is adequate, which does not cover the whole life and all Us possible future, Tlie star which wo are to set In the firmament, IsAhe total act of our life. A'fter a time, we may cease to see it, bnt if there is any worth, any foreshadowings of a perfect beauty In It, it will shine on. Nothing In so treacherous as memory, nothing hanging by so light a thread as personality, tho consciousness that I am the.aame.as I was twenty-five years ago,the consciousness which many suppose they will have in auother life, that tbdy are the same persons os they were here. It is all an uncertain prop. Death ought to bar and teach us tho vanity of these personal cravings. But, heedless creatures that we are, we nil up those endless horizons of the future with the images of our personal selves, and deem the goodness we have won, the purity we have gained and the unselfish­ness that has mastered us.too shadowy to stand of themselves, without the ’‘I " to support them. Yet which; O man, is shadowy, the I or the good? Only the good Is worthy to angriye, and that will. l0

Remarkable Teats to Mrs. Thomson at Kalamaioo.

To tM B ttw r of IM nMlcfe PtUotaetLlul Journal:Last week, at the1 Kalamazoo meeting of

the State Association of Spiritualist*. I met Sirs. Harriet E. Thomson, of Grand Rapids, lately of Sturgis, an intelligent and reliable woman, highly respected by all who know ber, I have been acquainted with her for over twenty years: Her former husband was Samuel B. Jackson, and Twltchell waa ber maiden name. She gave me the following rdaerkablo facts which, to her, aro clear proofs and testa of spirit presence. Mr. Jack- son waa a merchant in Quincy, Michigan, doing a targe business. In 1856 he left.home for New York to boy good», taking an early morning train. The ticket agent said that hat two persona took that train, Mr. Jackson and Aaron Brownell, a m itk .L of Quincy. Mr. Jackson was last seen at Toledo, not far from the depot, bnt waa never tra in seen or heard of, and it was thought to he a ease of murder for money. —

Twenty yean after Brownell waa tried for the. murder of a man at Quincy,, and Mr*. Jackson, being a witness, proved that Brown­ell wore her husband's gold watch »m e time after his disappearance, and that Mrs. Brown­

ell wore Mrfu Jackson's gold watch, which her husband carried away for repair in New York, Brownell was sent to State Prison tor the last murder, with suspicions ns to h « rullt in the first hanging over him. Hla health was very poor, and In about two years he was pardoned and disappeared. It should be mentioned also that Mr. Jackson s store iu Quincy was broken open and plundered soon after be loft, and facts pointed toward the action of a baud of men, some of whom were his professed friends, and Brownell was held to be their tool.

Thus much for opening explanation.Mrs. Thomson was quite Ili, hut was urged

to go to the meeting at Kalamazoo, Ou Saturday morning she‘was so III that she nearly decided to take first train home. She was stopping at the same private house with Mr. Mansfield, a slate-writing medium, and he came to Jjer lu the morning and said, ■•Tonthre -wanted in my room.” Hb* went, and Mansfield wrote on the slate with his owu hand:

"Dear Wife:—Don’t get discouraged andSo home. Your cold wlf\ uotkuake you sick, o to the meeting anti I *111 with you.

STfl. J ackson.This unexpected and welcome message In­

spired her tostoy.as Mansfield had no knowl­edge of this husband, long Blnce passed away. Bhe was at tho meeting day and evening, In the evening. Mr. Watkins, another slate- writing medium, gave tests in public on tho platform, and said that he had a special mes­sage to give, in the morning, at his room at the Kalamazoo House, a spirit came and a message was written on his slate, independ­ently and without his touching it, as follows:

"I klUed^Ham. Jackson. Toll this at tho hall to-night and It will he recognized,

Aaron Brownell.” After giving the above message, he said: "Sam. Jackson Is hero and says he was

murdered by his best friends.”Mrs, Thomson heard ail this, and was too

much overrome to speak then, hut the next day, In a clear aim! plain way, told the fituH* ence her experience with Mansfield, her be­ing guided to tho hall by her husband's mes­sage. and kept there to recognize the mes­sages through Watkins, and stated her be­lief in tho correctness of all, and their agree­ment with facts of loug yearn ago of which these young men could know nothing.

Thus I give the facts, as given mo by Mrs.- Thomson, and they so dearly tell their own story as to make comment superfluous.

I.irC - Ili-lUlf, rr'DianpbltiMuunuU,A Singular Vision thnt Appeared to a

) Do; tor.

Late on the night ofTrhlay, December 28th,. Dr. Walter Bruce, of Micanopy, Fla,. was awakened from a sound wleep at Ills house, by so strong a feeling that there was some mysterious presence in his room, that he got up, lighted a tamp and looked all over the house, but finding nothing unusual, he re­turned to bed and apparently fell Into a Jfglit sleep, In wliich there appeared to him a vision of his wife's brother, it, M. Striding, In a deadly conflict. In which he had his throat cut in a most horrible manner, and was removed to n storp near by, where lie was placed on a counter, ami after the ap­parent lapse of time he died from the effects of 1 he wound. The vision w hs so real thnt Dr. Bruce could sleep no more, and .when morning dawned, lie went out hut cmilil not rid bimself.of the very strong Impression It had made upon him. He related the dream, ns lm called it. to several of his m inds. The next mail from Virginia brought l)r. Bruce a letter announcing the death of bis brother In-law- in the exact manner he had seen and at the very hour that it had appeared to him In his vision. A sister of the murdered man. visiting relatives In Kentucky at the time of his death, had a similar dream, und while relating it at tho breakfaht table, was hand­ed a dispatch announcing its fulfillment.—.

THE ANSWER TO ,THK INQUIRIES OF «GEO. II. JONES. - \

Mn. Geo. H. J ones—Dear S ir \ Your let­ter of the Oth Inst, has been received, and 1 take pleasure iu replying. I was vepy much siirprised to see the extract from ^he New York roounerctoJ /tdrerfixer, and fit first I was at a loss to imagine how in the World It ever got into that paper. I suppose nowv^iow- ever, that n newspaper -correspondent, who was present when I was/relating the dream to a friend, furnished the statement, fit 1* not, however, correctly reported, and for your benefit I will give yon, aa far as I can, a cor­rect account of It, On Thursday, the 27th of December last, I returned from Gainesville (twelve mile« from here) to my orange grove near Micanopy. I have only a small plank house of three rooms at my grove, where I eperrd moot of my time when the grove is be­ing cultivated. There was no one in ibe house bnt myself at the time, and being somewhat fatigued with my ride, 1 retired to my bed very early; probably aix o’clock; and as I am frequently in tho habit of doing I lit my lamp on a stand by the bed for the purpose of read­ing. After reading a short time, I began to feel t little drowsy,put out the light and soon fell asleep. Quite early In the night I waa awakened. ,1 could not have been asleep very long, I am wire. I felt as if I had been aroused Intentionally, and at first thought some one was breaking Into the bouse, I looked from where f lay into Ula other two roome (the doore of both being open) and at once recog­nized where I was. and that there waa no ground for the burglar theory; there being nothing in the bouse to make It worth a burg­lar'« time to come after.

I then turned on my aide to go to sleep again, and Immediately felt a eonsclonsnese of a preeeocp in the room, and singular to ■tate, It waa not the consciousness ol a live person, but of a spiritual presence. This may provoke a smile, but I can only tell yon the facts as they occurred to me. I do not know how to better describe my sensationa than by «imply stating that 1 felt a conscious­

ness of a spiritual presence. This may have been a part of the dream, for 1 felt a* If I wo* dozing off again to sleep; but it was un­like any dream lever had. I felt also at the same time a strong feeling of superstitious dread, aa if something strange ami fearful was about to happen. I wds eoon asleep again or unconsclons, at any rate, to my surround­ings. Then I eaw two men engaged in a slight Rcnflle: one fell fatally wodnded—the other Immediately disappeared. I did not eee the gash in the wounded man's throat, but knew that hi* throat was cut. I did not rec­ognize him either as my brother-in-law* 1 saw him lying with hiH hand» under hlm;hi* head turned slightly to the left, his feet close together. I could not from the position in which I stood, see but a small portion of hla fnce; his coat collar, hair or some thlqg part­ly obscured it. I looked at him tho second time a little closer to see If I could make out who It was. I wan awnre It wo« some one I knew, but still could not recognize him. I turned, and then saw my wife sitting not far from him. She told me she could not leave until he was attended to. (I had got a letter a few day« previously from my wife, telling mo she would letiva In a day or two, and was expecting every day a letter or tele-

Jram, telling mo when to meet her at the epot.) My attention was struck by the sur­

roundings of tha dead mom Ho appear«} to be lying on an elevated platform of some kind atirronnded by chairs, benches and desks, re­minding me somewhat of a nchoolroom. Out­side of tha room in which he was lying was a crowd of people, mostly females, some of whom I thought, I knew. Here my dream terminated, I a woke n gain about midnight; got dp and went to the door to see Jf there was any prospect of rain: returned to any bed again and lay there until nearly daylight be­fore falling asleep again. I thought of my dream and was strongly Impressed by it. All strange, superstitious feelings had passed off.

It waa not until n week or ten days after this that I got a letter from mv wife, giving mo an account of her brother's death. Her letter, which was wrlilen Ihe day after hla death, was inlsaent. The account she gave me of his death tallies most remarkably with my dream. Her brother was with a wedding pnrly at tho depot at Markham station, Fau­quier Co., Ya. He went Into a store near by to see a young man who kept a barroom near the depot, and with whom he bad some words. He turned and left the man and walked out of tbe store. The barroom keeper fallowed him out and without further words deliber­ately cut hla throat, it was a most brutal niid unprovoked murder. My brother in-law had ou his overcoat with the collar turned up. The knife went through the collar and clear tn tike-bone. Ho was carried Into the store and laid an Ihe counter near a desk and ehow case. Ho swooned from Uvw of blood soon after being cut. The cutting occurred early Thursday night. Dec. 27th. lie did not die,however, until almost day light, Satur­day morning.

I have not had a complete account of my sLs: ter-in-law's dream. She was visiting a young lady, a cousin, in Kentucky. They slept to­gether Friday night. I think, the night of her brother’s death. She drOuned of seeing a man with hi« throat cut, atvl awoke very much alarmed. S o ¡¡woke her cousin and they got up and lighted the lamp and »at up until daylight. That day she received a tel­egram announcing her brother's death.

I catiuot give you any certain explanation of these dreams. I do not believe that they are due to ordinary causes, but to causes of

•which science does “not at present take cog­nizance. 1 utn a believer In the Christian religion nnd a member of the I'rotestant Episcopal church. As yon lire a searcher for truth, let me point out toyou where you will find alt of the truth thnt 111» most needful for yon to have; namely, iu the New Testa­ment of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If you will look fur the truth there In tha proper spirit, be Assured thnt you will most certainty-find it. and I wish vou God speed In your search. Walter Bruce.

Proceedings or the Michigan State Conven­tion of Spiritualists.

The first annual meeting of the Michigan Association of Spiritualists Qmvened at Good Templars’ Hall, Kalamazoo, Friday the 22nd Inst., at 2:30 r. u, President. J. P. Whiting In the chair. A« many werekjiown to be on the way, who would not>*frlve- until later, the afteruoop was glVen/hp mainly to con­ference, only such incidental business being taken up as required immediate, attention.- Subject under consideration: "Our Spiritu­al work.” This waa considered practically with reference to our State work as an organ­ization and especially the organizations of District Associations,which «hould held quar­terly meetings In such districts. This was followed later In the Convention by the adop­tion of a plan for tho division of the State into twelve districts ns follows:

I. The counties of Oakland, Lapeer, St. Clair, Macomb and Sanilac.. 2. Wayne and Monroe. *

3. Jackson, Washtenaw, Lenawee, Hills­dale and Branch,

4. Kalamazoo, Calhoun, St. Joseph andCoos.

5. Allegan, Ottawa, Berrien and Van Bur- 011.

6. Kent and Barry.7. Ionia. Montcalm and Gratiot.8. Ingham, Eaton and Livingston,9. Clinton, Shiawassee and Genesee.10. Saginaw, Bay, Midland, Tuscola and

Huron'.II. Muskegon, Oceann, Newaygo, Mecosta

and Isabella.12, The other 'northern counties of the

Lower Peninsula. JI t being reported to the. Convention that

several members of the Unitarian church were opposed to the use of their house by this Association for Saturday evening and Sun­day services, it was thought unwise to accept of same and, therefore, arrangement« were at once made for the use Of Chase's Opera House for said time. Ar

Friday evening, short addresses were de­livered by President J. P. Whiting, Choa. A. Andrus, Giles B. Stebbins, Mrs. Sarah Graves and recitation of original poem by Mro. A. E. N. Rich of Jackson.

On Saturday tho Convention assembled at 10 a. n„ with a good attendance of the rep­resentative Splrltualltd« of tbe State, many of them old and staunch worker* la tha cause. This being properly the busineea day or the Convention, both forenoon and afternoon were devoted to work. Dr. J . A. Marvin and J. H. Tompkins of the committee to draft constitution, reported the sajne, which win, with alight amendments, adopted. The same is lirthe usoal form, and provides for the election annually of • Presloeqt, Vice-Presi­dent, Secretary and Treasurer, and for fl*e Trustee«, two of whom arc at first ejection to hold for one year, and three for two year«; afterwards all for two years. Annual metn- berahip fee $U». Annual meeting to be held

at Grand Rapid«, on the last Saturday In Feb­ruary in each year hereafter.

Tbe Declaration of Principle« of the Amer­ican Association of Spiritualist« having been adopted by this Association at its August meeting, on motion, Chns. A. Andrus, GilesB. Stebbins and Wm. McCarty were appoint­ed a committee to consider and report upon any proposition relative to the amendment <>f the same that might bi< offered, and also any resolution gormain thereto. At the after­noon meeting this committee reported the following, which wore unanimously adopted:

Uctolved, That while the moral teachings of Christianity nre Jn many rouped« wl«i\ beautiful ami truthful, the doctrinal teach­ing« or creeds are fall of error nnd wrong, and only tend to fetter and belittle humau- ity.

Ilttolved Thnt the exemption of church property from taxation is a violation of con­stitutional right, which mu«t bo abrogated, and cosily church edifices instead of standing Idle «lx days out of «even should be con­stantly used foKeducatlonal, social, reform­atory and religious purposes,

JfMoftwf, ThnlSqltbe coming irrepressible conflict between bihqjt materialism on the one hand, which nfilruijrs{hat death ends all, and th i affirmations of ChrfcQans and pagan« alike of a cnnacloti*, nover-elfding existence beyond the grave, on the other hand. Spirit­ualist* nre the true and proper allien of all believers Jn immortal lire, in this regard Spiritualism In Michigan is to be congratu­lated upotv its separation from tho material­istic element, and its assuraptlouAif an In­dependent existence upon truthful princi­ples.

No change was recommended in tho print­ed Declaration of Principles.

The State Medical Law being.undar con­sideration the following was adopted:

Heiolvtd, That in the opinion of thl« con­vention the present Medical Law of this Slate is unjust and uncoiiNtltutlonn!, nnd that the olfleers of this society be requested to adopt such means os may tend to nvert nnd remove any legislation that bears directly or Indl redly againstThe clnirvnyanl and magnetic practice of healing the sick.

The points made against the constitution­ality of the law were: First, the object of the law is not properly set forth in the title. Second. It combines lxith criminal amt civil legislation In the same act. . • y

A peculiarity of the law wa* shown be, that, while it provides who shall be legally qualified to practice os a physician, it pro­vide« no penalty except for representatives as to having qualified as therein provided, when not «0 qualified.

The election of officera resulted as follows: President, J. P.Whiting, Milford; VIco-PreBl dent, Aim. Francis E. Spinney, Detroit: Sec­retary, Dr. J. A. Marvin, Detroit; Treasurer, Mrs. R. A. Sheffer, South Haven. Director«, David Sloe«, Dearborn; J. H.Tompkins,Grand Rapids; H. M. Caukin, Greenville; Dr. A/M. Edson. Lansing, nnd Mrs. A. K. N.JUdUr-Jack- son. Giles B. gjtebbja«, Levl'TVouil and An­thony rhapmaiV^w«e"TnTpolnted a Flnnnce Committee. Messrs. Whiting. Marvin and Buck were appointed a committee to confer with a like committee from the Nemoka Spiritualist Association, with a view tosecure harmony of feeling nud action between the two societies.

The meeting« Saturday evening. Sunday morning, afternoon and evening were held In Chase’« Opera llou-e.andwereln the main devoted to addresses, interspersed wit i reci­tations of original poems by Mrs. Rich, and singing by the truly inspirational .Mrs. Olle Childs Deusluw of South Bend. Ind. Ad­dresses were made by Lyman C. Howe, Giles B, Stebbins, Cha*. Andrus, Mrs, Sarah Graves, Sirs. K. C. Woodruff mill Mrs. L. A. Pearsall. Short addresses were made by the President, Secretary und Dr. A. B. Spinney.

Saturday and Sunday evenings most won- ^denuljndcpendant slato-writlng manifesta­tions, under strict test conditions, were given from the rostrum through the inediumshlp of Air. Clios. E. Watkins. The singing by Mr«. Denslbw added much to the Interest *of 4he meetings and was always enthusiastical­ly applauded by the enMre audience.

At u meeting of the Executive Board, held Sunday evening, the president, vice-president and secretory were authorized to grant to worthy appHcQptB, certificates of authority ns lulnlslers or missionaries, when thus en­gaged in this State.

We are happy to say that there wns mark­ed harmony and good feelinf^AiiToughout the Convention, and that it was considered by all present as a decided success.

“ BODIES CELESTIAL.'*A Sermon Delivered by’Rev. David Swing

H tO tilrol Musi.* Hull, Chicago, .March 2nd, 1 **+.

There lire a tm ccteaUal M l h u i i l bod lea u irea tiia L I Cor, 15- -lu.

The word “infinite” in simply a confession on the part of own that he can find no bound­ary. lie Is Incapable of conceiving of it time when there was nothing and when there will be nothing, and looking backward and for­ward he ntters'the word “Infinity.” It Is the final repose of mind jufil heart. It -marks the place not where man apprehends but where he fails. It Is the horizon of the mind. Hut powerless as we are to flud out the Almighty to perfection we are permitted to make won-, derful explorations among'his works and to make Inferences in harniony'with the world’s majestic scheme. Indeed not only are we permitted to study the universe but we are under the most solemn obligation to pursue such lines of thought, because we appear In this world with minds like a sheet of white paper and at once fail under the obligation of filling the blank with knowledge. Man was sent into this world as a student, and no truth of science or philosophy has come to him except so far as ho has acted as an In­quirer. Nature often Beems too rigid and cold toward her chlldren’nQd makes us won­der how she could hide from the ancients her telegraph andJteam-power and photographic potency. Our hearts would have melted and we should have taken Archimedes aside nnd have whispered to him how he could talk to friends heyond the sea, and we should have hinted to Pliny how bo could have taken a picture of Vesuvius on fire and of tfce beauti­ful cities on Its elopes. But Nature surpass­es ns all In the ability to wait. Man is ex­hausted by a few hours of delay, Nature can watt If need be a million years. Bod Is eter­nal and can wait far man.

Man must study Ida way along through the world lu which he lives and must die. He will blunder often and much but he mast at- tick his foe anew each day and advance not mile upon mile but Inch by inch, in great cities the universe la Iww studied than in the country In proportion to the difference of mental power in the two localities. In great cities the works of man and his pursuits and pleasures and cares absorb his sonl from one end of ,tbe year to the other. And further­more 'the heavens of nature’s God are not spread over a mart of trade. Smoke and chimneys aitd all conceivable objects destroy the grandeur of the bine canopy and the m il« * * * ' id sof walls make a sunrise and setting and l

moonrtse and setting impossible, -Could the educated thousands who, having gained from a dty Intellectual activity, transfer that awakened life to the country ooq day In each week, the results would certainly be in favor of deeper thought about creation and of mofe faith In God. If an agent—a mind, la seen In Its works we must go out to Nature If we would find the presence of God. The most stupendous works o( man proclaim only man. ^TaAbeT&dace, In the bridge. In tbe railway, -fn the steamship, in the fabrics and machines of tbe factory man Is seen, but going out In-, to the realm of natnre and tbe daisies by* yoor path and tbe songbird over head, say nothing of man but speak only of the Creator. The human gives place to the glrlhe, I

Deity, it was a poor, small Deity—a Deity who could dwell on Ml, Olympus and could make war upon remote tribes and show par­tiality, could quarrel with lesser gods .‘could swear vengeance against Hittite and Amor- ite. It is not probable that science has les­sened faith; it is certain it lias exalted the object of faith; for the’Ood of lhe prescrit is simply Infinite, there are no limits to Ills person or power or wisdom or love. The dis­covery of universal law lias overthrown the littleness of the old ideal and has made the Amorltes ns dear to the Heavenly Father as were the Hebrews who foildwed Moses, and has made woman and child uh worthy as a king and has ma<fe a slave Impossible except a“ a gross violation of right; this discovery of uni vernal law has entered the department of religipn'and hns overthrown the doctrine of an elect host and a.limited atonement to make room for the Infinite principle that whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely. Salvation by faith Is made Into an endless principle so that the believing and loving Ahrahnni mid l-wic are made companions of Plato and Aurelius, and the wise méu who came to wee Christ are made full brother« of the Simeon whoBe eyes had raoro clearly seen the salvation.

It is universality of law and this eternal uniformity of It. which has led many cler­gymen to announce the idea of eternal hope, for If sorrow for sin will wash away the stain in this world it will lu any form of ra­tional exifltence ut any time or place. It may not remove He effect of sin but it will change ihc heart of the sinrter and will leave quite white the snyl of a Raul who once con­sented to the death of Stephen. Should such a shame and regret have come to Paul In eternity rather than In time,It would have set.him free from hell, for inch team of re­gret and such new aspirations after justice and love would make the walls of hell seem those of a shining paradise. Thus the uni­versality of law must lie at thé basis of the doctrine of "eternal hope,” the only thing unknown being hidden In the inquiry wheth­er another life ever brings such a spirit of deep penitence. The Taw of bad habits, of depraved taste, or fixed character is also uni­versal, and lienee the. doctrine of “eternal hope" Is not a question In philosophy so much as »question of fact. Hut science has helped the modern period reach the profound feeling that God Is vast, nnchanging.infinite. It requires nil the universe to bonis home, He presses Into nil bights ami depths and Is as much In yonr soul as He is out.of it, for being measureless there is no place where He Is not.

lu thus demonstrating the Infinity of the Creator, science has befriended religion be­cause what religion most npods 1* that some power would break down the walls between tlesh and spirit and thus make death only a change of quality and thus make Immortali­ty easy. Modern research tends as much toward a world of spirit as toward one of matter, because It finds objects so delicate and refined that they satisfy the conflltlons of the word spiritual. The term “splritual" like the term “Infinite" Indicates not a con­tradiction of the term physical but a jdace where all common qualities of the material disappear. The term spiritual 1“ a signal of human weakness, as our term darkness is not à term Indicating the utter absence of light but an obsence of that amount of light which must exist to meet our forms of measure­ment. What we call darkness may be a field of light to other creatures. We know that there are animals who see beat in what we call night. They will on foot or wing scour the air or fields and see it as we see them at noon. Thus the term spirit Is a word which announces no actual war between mind and matter but which simply confesses that our day has become night; but to God and other beings oar n igb tjnay be day and our spirit, substance. All the words nsed in our theol­ogy nnd philosophy are relative measure­ment*—the beat things man can utter over the infinite.

Kleclridty, whose effect U carried from New York to San Francisco In no perceptible time. Is not a spirit according to the school­men’s definition, bnt It seems a body suffi­ciently refined to assure us that God has many forms of material much finer than that in the body of man. Between Hie ray« of light and the tinman framework there art more changes of raiment than can be found to the ward­robe of a queen, and yet a recent naturalist bas shown that there are atom« and things In the universe for the making risible of which the grains of light are too coarse. Light will flow through a pane of glass as-water through a fish-net and yet there are particles of mat­ter too email to be seen in the coarse medium of light. The same writer alludes to a opeck upon a piece of glass—tbe speck Is compared to a needle-poin)bat upon expos! a g that speck to the power o/'the microscope it expands In­to a complete page of the London 'Am*#,with the coinmns all legible. Thus alt the col­umns and words and Hpaces and letters of that large page can take retage within an Invisi­ble point and there await a better vision and a stronger light. So In tbe w*#d of mental action the Insects wholly invisible to man

ltual body as spoken of by Paul might be so exquisitely wrought that it could pass to and fro In our air aft upon solid ground and might, upon an earthly ounce of fond, subsist In lux­ury for a hundred years. Nor i- this any fan­ciful sketch nine« such a r*-mi!t i« transcend­ed by the facts of the universe. Home of you who are oldest remember events which affect­ed your brain-nerves, or particles fifty years ego. Many of you recall with delight «-vents over which twenty-five years have passed, hut what Ls memory bnt an engraving upon the brninHahlots? It in a change in ita particles, but how delicate indeed must be those touch­es when In fifty year* or twenty-five years They are uot covered up by the new records nor erased by the renewing processes of the flesh. In a half century the brain has been renewed several Mm«-but in -uch a manner as to leave lu it the picture of the house where

?'0U were born, and of the first friend of your »eing nnd of the face of the mother perhaps

noyr dead and hidden from your eight. When wo fall Into this pondering upon thephyslcat basis of memory’we become ready to believe In Paul's spiritual body »ml to feel that we are Indeed surronuded by the Infinite.

There is nothing anti-natural in high Spir­itualism ns held by muny; for if bur deni) pass into other bodies there is no reason for assuming that ¡ipelestial form must have an earthly weight and density ami be tangible and visible to our sense. God Himself can­not Iw seen or touched by onr fteuse. The fault 1» In our Hens«« and not in the being of like Creator. Hence the Invisibility of the dead Is no proof of their annihilation but it ia only a (tried Hint they have passed out of the horizon of our «ense. Spiritualism is not therefore an absurdity, htu It is only a theory that awaits proof. This proof has so long been absent that niany of ns feel that in these years man la ciit off from such com-.niuulrxj and must wait for death to transfer

Nothing I» more unreasonable than a conclusion that wjmt we see of man is all and the loat. If We' did not see man begin bow can we uee him end? The Agnóstica __and Atheists act upon the assumption that ¡^2(f jfhtnan «onl.‘ Foe God 1« Infinite and there are no untiHiiai phenomena.

Science tells |p* that once there were mammoths and immense reptiles nn earth and no hnpian being, once a hot rolle which grew palm trees at the poles. Science did not find the lawa of nature flxed/for they opened to ad­mit an animal that could talk and write and read and laugh and progress and bfrome more and more stupendous lu thought aud deed. The fact of man should assure science that we are in a flexible universe where great

The weight and flesh of man are Incidental rathvr than necessary. He might be batter nil if he were os light as electricity and might hate more intelligence If his brain did not outweigh a square yard of sunbeam. His splr-

changes can come, and have come, and that man navlng ,drop[*ed Into thin world from jonip unknown »our« so can he fall into some other form of existence, for heaven Is no more difficult than earth.

Back of us and around us aud before us lies the Infinite with mneh more In it than has come out of It. From what we can eee It Is full of situations aod possibilities. Man 1« Injured by his «teady gaze at what 1». A few years of sameness will give him the idea of forever and forever. If the Ohio should not rise lor a few years men will begin to lay out new homes nnd new town« on Its banks. Tbe slopes of Vesuvius once a river of fire are again crowned with beautiful villas. In Switzerland where a landslide cruabed the ihird part of a village a few year» ago new homes are being erected, because all has been peace for a time and old sorrow« are forgotten. Thus mankind 1* the easy victim of what bas been. Thus we change a fev years into a law and In harmony with this a natural body bolds tbe field and the spiritual body falls into disrepute. But-the pheno­menon of death should excite suspicion that we have drawn too Quiet a picture of that strange scene. Death may well come before us as one more diy of change and wonder, one more landslide In the Swiss bills, .one more awful overflow, one more convulsion of Vesuri«. As It was an amazing mtmeot when man was sent Into earth so It is an amazing moment when be dies. There is nothing ordinary In death. It is the mining footstep of God—the end of things common.

The theory of “no God" Is almost unworthy

God being infinite In time and spare and power and love U Ift not probable that In three score and ten years He perfects Ills purposes with man. It is more probable that in that little field of time He lead» man over some first stsq** in existence ’aud that other steps are elsewhere, it must be remembered that man Is no Common creature. He Is the greatest known' to? earth »rid 1» wonderful, matchless, nn-asbrele»-. He posse^es. the features Intellectual and emotional of a dei­ty. lnM?uwe»ro warranted In nup|erdng the piaiisfof the Creator rise to a great digni­ty. Tt'ft»*ks as though onr earth was made for man:\the sun for man, the season for mau; for while flowers bloom in sight,of all ereatores. W an only loves them; while the »ky ¡s spread over all life, man only admires U "aafl studies it, and while all existence eom>s from God,' man only pronounces the tmsne of the Creator and sings a hytnu or bows in prayer. In roAn thus opf Creation rises up to a sublime fullness ot meaning, and here we may Well expect.Uehovah to cherish his plans of education anif love and happiness. If He loves yon only tbree-score- years and then remands you back to dust. Ills love would not eqnat that of a common mother, for had a mother power Bhc would hold.her child for many ogee In the realms of b I eased life. No! seventy human years ar^ttit the arena of the Divine relation to w«rh Human sonl." Foe < tm three-score and ten

mg'« dawn of Hi»other friendship would be too ephemeral to be In harmony with One who Inhabits eterni­ty. The days of this heavy body and these weak flenses are the preface of the book of life and not the book itself. Tunes will come aud go and the terrestrial body will fall away to make visible the celestial within. For au|(ht we know that mor«- delicate tenement may be within humanity here, and may be that Inner tablet upon which memory keeps its record, and may be that Invisible organ­ism in which the mind play» and where the sonl »Its enthroned in life. Be all the»» things as they may, science the more it studies and weighs and measure» and pon­ders and marks the ocean of the Infinite roll­ing at It« feet, toe more willjggly can It ex­claim with St. Paul: Thero^vre also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial, but tbe glory of the celestial is pne »od the glory of the ter­restrial Is another. It Is sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body. In a mo­ment. in the twinkling of *n fye ws shall »11 be changed. For this corruption must pat on Incormptlon and this mortal Immortality. And then shall com» to pa« the saying, “Death-ts Swallowed up in victory." In the preeeDceof «rucb a vision science cannot utter a word of objection'. Remembering the mar­vels and mysteries of the universe It may well join In a public joy that mao Is moving toward another life whose glories this eye cannot Me. whose sound this ear cannot bear and whoaaMesaednas« prepared ot God ho» not euterud into the heart of man.

'hmtkpInspiration the means of an Infallible communication between the Infinite andPerfect on one hand, and the finite and im­perfect on the other, becomes an Impossibil­ity, so dong as the finite and Imperfect are not Infallible to receive, perceive and cbm- preheniPtlic subject matter of the communi­cation. —

Man cannot become the subject of an In­fallible communication from any”source un­til he attains, III such respect, an Infallibleperclplency of everything essential to such communication. And granting that one, who has attained a status In which lie isenabled to perceive tho truths peculiar to such a status, becomes the subject of a full Inspiration, by means of which he tins a clear perception of auch exalted truths, there is no way by means of which ho can communi­cate those truth» to others, who have not at­tained the like perfect status. When, through the attainment of state, one’s spiritual eyes have been opened to perceive certain spiritu­al troths, he can no more communicate those troths to other» whose spiritual eye» have not been opened, than others could commun­icate to him such trOtha while he remained In spiritual blindness. Thus it will be per­ceived that If inspiration, a» a means of com­municating spiritual truth, Is a necessity In any case, it becomes a necessity in all

It ha« been demonstrated that all trntb, to become a mental presence 111 the in­dividual. must be communicated by (tome kind of Influx extending to the personal ron- BQlousness: and that any other method,of communicating truth, 1« an Inevitable fail­ure; and proves Itself to bo such, whenever Belied upon.

The Protestant s c ...................w ing the fallacy of the Roman pretension, protest« against that method of obtaining truth and sets up an Infallible revelation, com rn uni rated by means of verbal «tatoment« addressed to the understanding and comprehension of Ignor­ant and fallible men.

No matter how Ignorant or how dull of com­prehension one may be. his Interpretation of the ■•inspired word1’ will bo received by him as the Inspired trulh of God; and he will not hesitate to consider It as such; and to make use of It as etieh. He will thus substitute his falsehood for Gotl’a truth. And what one man does in Uitd respect, all other Protest­ant« will do. And what must be the Inevit­able consequence resulting from putting ver­bal Hlatemenl» of truth, of principles and of doctrines, Into the hands of the multitude, each to ascertain for himself, their signifi­cance, which Is to he received as the infalli­ble truth of God? The inevitable consequence must he what it ever has been. That differ­ently constituted and -developed minds will arrive at different conclusions as to the real aigniflcance of «urh verbal statements; and each class will verily believe that their un­derstandings of the "inspired word," repre­sent the exact truth of the Infallible eom- uniinlc.itlup from God to men. And each will formulate a creed according to bis under- standing» and will promulgate it os the truth of God. in this way Innumerable sects will arise among those who accept tho dogma of plenary inspiration, and of infallibility of communication produced thereby, and the re,stilt will be, that such supposed revelation, ao presented and accepted, will become the source of more, falsehood than truth; of more division and contention, than of union and concord.

Tho idea is, that God works differently or by' different methods, In thlunaterial and In the spiritual of the universe. That In tho natu­ral,, He has created all natural things and has established the laws by which they are to bo governed, and that having thus provid­ed for natural operations, ho leaves nature pretty much to herself, exceed when, for some purpose, Ho wishes to astonish tpo peo­ple, and show His presence and [wwer, He interposes to suspend some natural law; or to do some other supernatural thing.

If this dominating Presence In the universe Is self-existent, self-snfllcient,4«- flnite, eternal and immutable, there cim be no such thing in respect to Its operations, as supernaturallsm.

For Ui* Belletti Ptllotopblekl JoumiLKnowledge through the Sense».

nv C. it. MURRAY.

The means with which we are endowed to become acquainted with the material world and have Its phenomena mada^pparenl to our consciousness, are'embraced. liKyrhnt are or­dinarily termed the five aensesNjf hearing, touching, tasting, smelling and seHng. Borne of these sense» are very inefficient Ifi^the ex­teat of their opernUon,aud any of them vary greatly in different individuals. Some per­son« have no ears for music; and others, al­though having a perfect sight in other re­spect«, are color mind even to the extent that they cannot distinguish between red and blue. Ingerabll remarked In one of his lectures that It -was not a very good world to raise a high grade of men and women; and that Us capd bllttles In this direction wore very limited. He might comment further on the fact that the means at our command for becoming fa­miliar with the world we live in, ere very meager In range and aentenesfl, If we set to workJby'dlscipHne to develop any one of the senses, Its Increased sensibility Is generally attained at the expense of some one or all the others, Not only.to this the case, but the kind of development that the special sense Is sub­jected to appears to disqualify or weaken Its operation In an opposite direction. Thus tho man who accustoms his eye to scan mlnnte objects become« near-sighted; whllo the sail­or who sees a ship so distant that ordinary sight can dlstlfiguish jiothlng, has his vision so pro longed-that he (a unable to command it on minor matters.

When we come to study the true nature of sub» tanc«s,the re Is much that we must team by Inference and analogy, as we are not en­dowed with nnfielent sense to know them otherwise. Onr judgments arising from the exercise of the eensee, are often misleading an^nntrne.jN) that we must be on constant guard that we are not self-deceived. Onr sense of smell is very Inferior—far below that of many brute animals—add so narrow In Its range that we fall to distinguish tnany poi­sonous gases that are total to life. Our sense of touch is so clrcnmscrtbed that ft Is of lit­tle use. except to determine the external

form of physical objects. Hero let mo say that the sense of touch should uot include the sense of temperature, which, latter should be clue« I tied by Itoeif as a etxlb sense. When we handle anything, lu addition to recogniz­ing IU form, wo have separately from this an apprehension of how cold or how hot it may bo, and this Henna I» a very poor one. It ha« It« origin In vibratory action, as seeing or hearing does, but its com pa»« J« so narrow that very few persons after long pwicHce could be able to toll the kind of beat they felt, or the kind of substance from which It ema­nates; yet there is as much difference between the heal vibrations given off by copper and those of iron, as there ia between tho notes of a bugle an 1 [lie scream of a locomotive. If this sense of temperature In us were as Scute as hearing, wo should be able to group differ­ent kinds of beat iu different pitch, so that they would bo productive of harmony, and would give as much pleasure as a piece of music. As It Is, there I» a wide field full of poesibllitles for enjoyment and instruction, from which our dullness forever excludes us.

81r William Thompson lias lately proposed to add an additional sense which he calls the magnetic sense. How wide It» claim for rec­ognition may be at present, is difficult to de­termine; but Us possession is likely so rare that it can hardly be claimed as a human a t­tribute. - Thera are person« born with five fingers instead of four, but taking these ex­ceptional cases wa could hardly assert that the human ruco Is five fingered. Baron Von. Belchenbach la his investigations found a few persons who could locate a magnet In tho dark by seeing tho lu mi nous light about Its poles. Such people have a peculiar nervous organization, or what might be termed a northern-light tcniperniuciff- They are af­fected— an a not agreeably either—by every electrical or magnetic variation of weather, and rarely possess good health. A spot on the sun may throw them into hysteria or melan­choly. Sensitive ns a telephone they quiver at the slightest disturbance of nature and re­spond as readily Ho discord as to harmony. Such persons are always |medinmistic and many of them stand oil the dividing, bounda­ry hetween the two world». Happy for them if they are surrounded, by auspicious circum­stances, for they are as iu capable as an eol Ian harp of selecting the kind of breeze that will awaken them into notion.

Poor as our aen«cs are, it is wholly through them that wo can come into contact with ma­terial existence and either enjoy or suffer. If they were more acute, we might tnnke more rapid progress, but our misery would also be proportionally enhanced. Our knowledge and enjoyment of the world depends upon the soundness and vigor of these faculties. The greatest pleasure is experienced when they are aroused.In combination and the mind I» filled with multiplex sensations. In the high­est emotion« we seek to employ onr whole lie- lug simultaneously. Thus ¿u love the mind 1» not satisfied by seeing, bearing and touch­ing the object of its adoration, but desire« to alsoHiule. Hence kissing Is enlisted to en h¡luce the delights of affection. It may bo mentioned hero that In Southern Asia among the Siamese ami others, Migt kissing Is not in vogue as a salute or mark hi love, lint that smelling is. The lover leans U|«m and smell» the neck of his mistress. They think smell­ing is much more elegant thrill ta-ding. Al­though this may seem an odd custqm, who has not seen a mother in her ecstasy over her Infant not only kls» but smell it. os if It were a fragrant blossom,' and by so doing bring every sense to bear by which »ho may appre­ciate and enjoy it.

In the present condition of civilized society there are two classes of influence operating upon the senses thal are directly opposite iu their effect«. Thç exigencies mid anxieties of life, so urgent mid inexorable In circum­stance«, have a cou»tant tendency to sharpen and exult the perceptions. The steam pres­sure burry, the rush after vvi^llh, fashion and display, is converting every good sized town lulu u el muerons «took exchange, where every one iswtfrkwi up by the tension of specula­tion, wild Lopes and eager effort». This »train, worry and conflict are breeding men wilt» a restless glare of the eyes bordering on insani­ty; in fqct,-is breeding insanity. It 1« serious mutter that this nialudy has doubled in pro­portion to the population in all our large cit­ies during tho to-d ten years, (julet reflection succumbs to delirious sensation», aud the healthful pulso 1« lost iu the fever throb en- geudered by the vain attempt to grasp the world.

The opposite influence Is to be found in such vicious habits as lead-to deaden the sen­sibilities ami stupefy the inileil, do »eekiug escape from the environment» of life, thou­sand« dull and debase the moi sat ion » by the use of opium, tobacco, whiskey aud beer. By ifresort to these befogging remedies the acute- ness of existence Is toned down nearer to the level of the brute creation, and life rendered endurable by canceling a part of its obliga­tions. Tho number who are thus seeking re­lief by voluntarily curtailing their faculties, ia largely on the increase. Many who would not commit suicide partially paralyze their consciousness and live through an interim of slupor produced by some potent drag.' So we see this wonderful compound of materiality and immortal »oui striving -after all power, and prescience on the one hand, and seeking oblivion apd rest on the other. J

Self-consciousness la derived wholly from sense consciousness. I t Is Impossible to con­ceive of a person knowing anything of him­self except aa he has come In contact with himself through his physical senses. Suppose a person to be lying quiescent in some dark cave where there la no light or sound, and In

I have noticed with regret that our lecture associa­tions are, with few exception«; poorly uustaiu- ed; that societies, once prosperous and pro­gressive. have either entirely ceased to exist or htc In many instances reduced to the verge of.dlshnndonmeiit.

Why this (date of affairs?—I fancy I hear certain of my readers ask. Why should Spir- ilualimn. one of tho most progressive causes, be retarded at a time when It unquestionably iu attracting plow? attention than ever: when the most erudite of Lhh country and Europe are carefully exnrnlulng into its claims and succumbing to the mass of evidence contluu- ally aggregating In Ils favorV

I answer, true, there never was a time in ils history when Its phenomena attracted more attention.or a» much;and this fact will dptibt- lesHly prove that, Instead of being retarded, It Is triumphantly marching on to victory. But It must be remembered that It Is the phe­nomenal phase which is receiving so ranch attention, andthat. In spite of the knavish design» of unprincipled mediums nud numer­ous charlatan« who ore continually preying upon nn over-lndulgeiilaud credulous public. It-may at first seem strange that the phe­nomena of Spiritualism should receive such general Attention and absorb,ns it were,fully two-thirds of thn interest manifested iu Srlr- Itualism, while It« philosophy should, to a great extent, bo Ignored, or tojiDier-^Words. slighted. Upoij taklffg3 ^g?iieral survey of the field, hnwevCTTlt will be Heen Ibal there are grave causes which operate against a sue ceesful promulgation of the philosophy of Spiritualism, but which in no way interfere with it« phenomenal phase.

The phenomena of Spiritualism, It must be borne in mind, are really its fundamental basis (without It the philosophy would Is* worthless, or at best no better than the theo­logical teaching« of the Christian Church) and are Ht all times,under proper conditions,' susceptible of ocular demoiHlrntlou. It does not require the preseuce at a circle of an adept In science, a learned philosopher or a metaphysician, In order to have manifesta­tions occur, therefore, the doors of spiritual plienmneiiA are tfirown whto open and who­ever desire«, can entPr its Temple, and if po«-, sensed of latent tued In I powers, develop them.

o’ot so with its philosophy. It requires keen, astute and matter minds in clearly ami effect- ualiy elucidate the gloritiu« truth« Involved therein. It requires no ability to become a medium, no previous literary training, no close study, no deep researche«; but It doe« require much erudition Iu order to become a successful expounder of the Philosophy of Spiritualism.

Now, I may ask, why should,this bo ho. con­sidering the vast number of highly cultured and Inlellectual mind« more or leH« identified with Spiritualism ? Why should Spiritualist rostrums auffer for want or c impotent ex­pounder» of its glorious truths, when I t num­bers among It« avowed adherent» men of scientific and literary attainments by the hundred? r can only base my reply on ex­perience and observation, and it lias been my privilege to observe tho condition of many societies throughout the country. I believe that Spiritualist alone are to blame for this lamentable state of affairs. To fully eluci­date would require much space; 1 will, there­fore, briefly summarize. y ,

\ . j The lack of interest manifested towardthe philosophical teaching» of Spiritualism aa promulgated from the platform» of the various societies,may be attributed primarily to the lack of ’sufficient lecturers possessed of the necessary qualifications, Htorary, scien­tific and philosoptfical.

2;—The dearth of efficient platform advo­cates may be attributed to the lack of induce­ments to enter the field and not totbe uop^>- ularity of the cause, as is erroneously sup­posed by many.

3- The Inability of societies to hold out sufficient inducement.» to men and wo me a; abundantly qualified for the work. Is owing;

(a) To the inactivity of Spiritualists ofwealth and influence, who hold aloof and render no service to the cause whatever, pat­ronizing tho Univer»allst, Unitarian or other denominational churches, and co-operating therewith instead of endeavoring to advance the cause dearest to them of the truth of wh Ich they are convinced. ^

(b) The continued dissension« existing among those who do take an active part and who should strive to conduct the affairs of the respective societies harmoniously and effi­ciently Instead of jarring with one another and creating discord, to the detriment of the cans«.

ttvo with its train of cars freighted with hu­man being« Waq descending a steep declivity at the rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour, wliou suddenly the axle of tho car, In which L was sitting conversing with a PrwtbyterlBn rnlntoter, broke and the car jumped the track. The train was »topped just m time to prevent It« being ditched, and tho locomotive was de­tached and «ent forward to summon a wreck­ing car to repair the damage.

After a delay of three or four hoffrs the pas­sengers began to get somewhat impatient and assembled in small groups in Hie different cars discussing the situation. Bitting by the »love In the damaged car, I noticed a brake- man wlio seemed in deep thought. Approach­ing him I Inquired the nature of his thoughts He replied that he Could not keep thinking what a narrow esetpe nil hand« find. Further questioning 'elicited the following In sub­stance. lie was rear brakenmii of the freight train which shortly after the accident had stopped within few yards of our train and was then waiting for us to move on. It was customary to descend the grade where It then stood, at what may ho termed a fast rate of speed for down grade, "but," «Bid thn brake- mail, "thto afternoon, while the train was go­ing at Its usual rnte of speed, a something in­definable seemed to whisper to me. "Down brakes! there’s an accident ahead!” At first he heeded not, but supposed H was merely imagination, when again and Again the warn­ing came and he could not resist the impulse to “down brakes!" Soon after the «Beman from our train wqs seen by the engineer flag­ging. “Danger ahead!" but. If the brake« had not then heen down. It would have been too lute to stop Hie freight train, for with the impetus it Iprtl nral it« close proxiinlly to our train tho brakes could not have been applied in time and with aufllcient success to prevent the untimely death of every passenger in Hie cars.

This to a very remarkable case of timely rescue by sofne wise spirit, and the more ho when it 1« taken Into w n i l m w a that tha brakeman of the freight train knew our train was two hour« ahead of the freight, and had no reason iu, tho world for putting nn tlic broke» at the time he did,except in deference to what Jie supposed lobe art Jmaglm-ry voice. It may here he noted that the voice did not proceed friuu any human being It did not appear to him to be an audible voice, neither was it possible for any human bei'ug to have warned him at Hint distance in time to avert what might have been a sad calamity.

Mr. S. N. Rhoads has given evidence which proves that Turkey-vnLtures are directed to their prey from gleat distances by their sense of smell, and not by sight atone. He partly uncovered a spot where a horse and a cow had boon burled some years before, and in a few hour« buzzards were attracted to the spot in great numbers. They must have been guided by smell, and, as Mr. Rboad« could detect no odor when directly ovef the burial- place* It Is shown (hat their spietliuir power [s mamloushr deliciiie. Gosh* relates an instance In which vultures circled round a hon e in Jamaica where some spoiled meat was hidden.

Dr, Oliver Wendell Holme.», In a recent let­ter, said: "I have written' many verses, but the best poems I have produced are the trees I planted on the hillside which overlooked the broad meadown. walloped and rounded at Their edges by loops of tho sinuous Housatoa- Ic. Nature finds rhymes for them in the re­curring measures of the seasons. Winter «trips them of their ornaments and gives them, as H were, in prose translation, and trammer reclothes them.In all the splendid phrases of their leafy language. What are thaw maple» and beeches and birches but odeB and Idyls and madrigals? What are thene pines and fin» and spruces but holy hymns, too solemn for the many-hned rai­ment of their gay deciduous nelghBors.".

A truthful remark by an exchange: “The young man who tampers with alcohol la In­viting a blight to settle.upon his name and character, and a curse more bitter than death to take poweaslon of his fond hopes and bright proepeeU," Boys, this (a a nice thing to past« 1“ / ‘»w hat where yon can be re­minded of It when tempted.

And attain. In his remarkable address in Cambridge before the Pill Bela Kappa Socie­ty. not yet three- years qgo, Wendell Phil­lips uttered these memorable words:

■' Social science asserts tha t woman's place In society marks lint level of civilization.

" From Its tw ilight In Greece, through the Italian worship of the virgin-*the dreams of chivalry* the justice of the civil law and the equality of French society—we trace her gradual recognition; while our common law. a< Lord Brougham confessed, was, with rela­tion to woman, the opprobrium of ¿he age and of Christianity. For forty years, plain i»en and women working noiselessly, have washed,away that opprobrium; the statute books of thirty States have been remodelled, amt Woman «famls to day ntmost face to face with her last claim -the ballot. It has been a weary ami thankless, though successful struggle.* But If there be any refuge from that ghastly curse. the vice of great cities, before which social science stands palled and dumb, it lain this more equal recognition of Woman.” J

THE VICTQHT," I f In this critical battle for universal

Suffrage, our fathers’ noblest legacy to us, and the greatest trust Hod leaves In our hands—If there be any weapon, which, once taken from the armory make victory certain, it will be as It bus been In a rt, literature, and society,hycantmonlng Woman into the politi­cal Arena.* >

"The London Time* proclaimed twenty years ago that irttemperance produced more Idleness, crime, disease, want an<1 misery thun all other causes put together; and *the W estminster litvietr calls it n curse that far eclipses all other calamities under which wo stiller, mid if onivefsal Suffrage ever fails here for a time, permanently It cannot fall, . . . , l t will he through mm entrenched In great cities and commanding every vantage ground.” ___

The Tribune contains the'following sum­mary of the opportunity for study In ilurvard:

“ From the first, the moat able professors of Harvard have given every aid to the An­nex by cordial interest, by wise counsel nnd personal instruction. Professor Peirce says: "Thecourses most freghented are those of the must serhTus character. Among my pu­pils I have found sqm# of marked excellence, and all have given evidence of nbllLty and serious purpose.” -Professor Hyerly adds: "T heaverage has been Invariably higher In my Annex classes than In my college class­es," Professor White nay«: " I have met. uni­formly, greal-ojarnesUiesA and ability of a high order.” Professor Lane writes: WI sin­cerely hope the Annex will be sustained In every possible way. Every one of these young women la a missionary; In tra in ing one you may be train ing hundreds,” Some of the Annex students are tra in ing from lore of study, and the desire of making the most of themselves; many are teachers taking spec­ial advanced work, or young women fitting for the teacher’s life. Among the former student« of the Annex are several teachers of classtSr and mat hematic« in schools of the- East, two -principals of classical schools In Kansas and Montana, a professor of nutrono- my in Carleton College, Minnesota, and teach­ers of G'reek a t Yossar and Wellesley Colleges. The Annex, la not a rival of any woman’s col­lege. it All» a different plan; situated lh a great university town, and posoeMlng theIirivHeges of the great Harvard library and he Instructions or the Harvard professor?,

each of whom lias given hi? life to nls partic­ular branch of learning, the Annex offers ad­vantages beyond thorn of any woman’s col­lege. With an endowment fund of f 100,OOp the Annex may have an official connection with Harvard University, and the successful beginning will hava an assured continua­tion. */ __JFXNDKLL PHILLIPS ON WOMAN.

*A Queer I'aterpD Iar.

The queerest thing I have seen out here, says M. D.Conway iri h letter irom Australia, Is thesn-cfllM bulrush caterpillar or v»geiii- Me caterpillar. This a1«o is found in New Zeulan'l, where the native« name it "Aweto- Hotete," but I have two sjreclnienfl found In Tasmania. The plant leu fungus, a Uphmria. which grown seven or eight Inches above the ground, generally in a single stem, round and curving at the end like a serpent. Tills end is thickly covered with brown seed for three or four Inches. It grows n»ar the roofSf u parrlculnr tree, the rgta. When pulled

p Its root is found to consist of a large cat­erpillar thr»e Inches long, which, when dis­sected. Is fnuitd to he solid wood* Every de­tail of tins grub is preserved. The spxcrin grows out of the nape of it» neck. It Is sup­posed Glut when this grub (that of a Large moth)burrows in the ground one of the seeds g»t? between the scales of the neck, strike«- root and completely turns the Interior of th» creatiire Into its own substance, only the shell Is left inlact, no sm allv't rootlet ap­pearing any when*. The aborigines also cut this pure white grub, and a friend tells me that. tHken raw. It Is deltclmi*. The New Zenlatiden? also bum the caterpillar root and rub It Into their tabu» wounds.

UT Plenary Insplratlo u, un il of Infallibility of Communication Between Minds.

BT UON. JOEL TITFANY.

Plenary inspiration, by which Is meant that degree of Inspiration touching any ({Ir­en subject, by moans of which the J nap I red one acquire« auch perfect knowledge of that subject, that ho 1« incapable of erring In re­spect to the same, can take place only when the »abject of the Inspiration has become as perfect to receive and respond to the Inspir­ing spirit, aa the spirit itself la perfect to impart the Inspiring Influence, Hence, It may bo assumed aa a fundamental principle, that there can be plenary Inspiration only to the extent that Infallibility of recipiency

'and responsiveness, are secured to those who beconje the subjects of auch Inspiration. To

'hmtkpInspiration the means of an Infallible communication between the Infinite andPerfect on one hand, and the finite and im­perfect on the other, becomes an Impossibil­ity, so dong as the finite and Imperfect are not Infallible to receive, perceive and cbm- preheniPtlic subject matter of the communi­cation. —

Man cannot become the subject of an In­fallible communication from any”source un­til he attains, III such respect, an Infallibleperclplency of everything essential to such communication. And granting that one, who has attained a status In which lie isenabled to perceive tho truths peculiar to such a status, becomes the subject of a full Inspiration, by means of which he tins a clear perception of auch exalted truths, there is no way by means of which ho can communi­cate those truth» to others, who have not at­tained the like perfect status. When, through the attainment of state, one’s spiritual eyes have been opened to perceive certain spiritu­al troths, he can no more communicate those troths to other» whose spiritual eye» have not been opened, than others could commun­icate to him such trOtha while he remained In spiritual blindness. Thus it will be per­ceived that If inspiration, a» a means of com­municating spiritual truth, Is a necessity In any case, it becomes a necessity in all

creeds upon the name infallible revelation.And thiBjJIlversUy of opinion la on the In

crease, rather than on the decrease; and themoney, labor and zeui expended* In building op these denominational distinctions, doesUjl HltKVU ULUIUUIlua iuuiu mntiuuMtfiin. uuwvery little toward infusing the true Chris­tian spirit la the hearts of the people. We have what are denominated Christian nations and Christian governments, bat I think It would be very difficult for any one to point out & single principle distinctly Christian, wlilch 1« recognized, much le«« put In prac­tice, by any government claiming to be la character, Christian. If any one can do so, God speed tho undertaking.

The great error in laying the foundations " * ‘ and inifor these division« and dissensions among

the people,-In matter« of religious faith and practice, 1« to ho found in (ho dogma of iMpernaturallsm. It seems to be the opinion

of moatreilglously minded people,that every- thing pertaining to God’s dealing« with man.

eases;’upon tha same principle that the In flux of light through the eye to produce thephenomena of vision, is a« essential to all men, a» It 1» to any.ono man. This Import­ant principle has been overlooked by the the­ologian. while getting up his theory of ploji-anTlnaplrattonTproducing an infallible rev Olatkm of God’s will to all men.

¡4 philosophically considered, the thing is s Impossibility; and practically it is dem­ist rated to be untrue, and ail deductions

Logicallyu d pancastratedbased upon aneli an hypothesis become er­roneous. It ha« been demonstrated that all trntb, to become a mental presence 111 the in­dividual. must be communicated by (tome kind of Influx extending to the personal ron- BQlousness: and that any other method,of communicating truth, 1« an Inevitable fail­ure; and proves Itself to bo such, whenever Belied upon.

The Romanist discovered this and attempt­ed to obviate the difficulty by KUb»litilling an “inspired Action” as the mean* of commnni-catlug spiritual truths to the uninspired In­dividual. The Protestant s c ...................w ing the fallacy of the Roman pretension, protest« against that method of obtaining truth and sets up an Infallible revelation, com rn uni rated by means of verbal «tatoment« addressed to the understanding and comprehension of Ignor­ant and fallible men. To,tlie rational mind,

can be plainer Irani the proposition,tothing can be plainer than the pro; that such a communication, can. by no nos- flible means, become, to tho uninspired mind, anything other than Ills fallible |H?rccption» and understanding,determine it to signify. No matter how Ignorant or how dull of com­prehension one may be. his Interpretation of the ■•inspired word1’ will bo received by him as the Inspired trulh of God; and he will not hesitate to consider It as such; and to make use of It as etieh. He will thus substitute his falsehood for Gotl’a truth. And what one man does in Uitd respect, all other Protest­ant« will do. And what must be the Inevit­able consequence resulting from putting ver­bal Hlatemenl» of truth, of principles and of doctrines, Into the hands of the multitude, each to ascertain for himself, their signifi­cance, which Is to he received as the infalli­ble truth of God? The inevitable consequence must he what it ever has been. That differ­ently constituted and -developed minds will arrive at different conclusions as to the real aigniflcance of «urh verbal statements; and each class will verily believe that their un­derstandings of the "inspired word," repre­sent the exact truth of the Infallible eom- uniinlc.itlup from God to men. And each will formulate a creed according to bis under- standing» and will promulgate it os the truth of God. in this way Innumerable sects will arise among those who accept tho dogma of plenary inspiration, and of infallibility of communication produced thereby, and the re,stilt will be, that such supposed revelation, ao presented and accepted, will become the source of more, falsehood than truth; of more division and contention, than of union and concord. Taking the numerous sect» In Christendom, who accept the Bible, consist­ing of the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, os constituting the revealed word o ft rod to man, and no one, acquainted with tile diversity of sects, who agree in nothing except that the Wide 1» to be accept­ed aa an Infallible revelation of God’s will to humanity, wilt doubt that there 1« more of error embraced iu their creed«, drawn from a textual study of the Bible, than there Is of truth; and taking their apparent spiritual status, there (is more of spiritual darkness than of spiritual light poHsesslog their mlml«

S reason of tbelr sectarian creeds, based, as MT »impose, upon the teaching« of the

Bible. Looking over the diverse sects,pro­fessing the Christian faith, this remurfcible fact appears. Among those, who are equally learned, equally honest, equally religious.equally sincere, are to be found sette, the

.members of which accept the Bible ah thoreal word of God; and they conscientiously

•study it and prayerfully seek to ascertain its real significance; and they verily believe that they have been aided by ‘the holy spirit In their efforts, and that thus they have be­come acquainted with the divine pnrpoee, and the divine will respecting man and hU destiny. But a« the result of such tnvestiga-tlon. they arrive at entirely different con­clusione; « ................................______ ; ao different, Indeed, that what oneaffirms a« an essential element of true faith and practice, another denies and denouncesas false, wteked and particularly nnwriplur- al. And It would not be an exaggeration to■ay, that tbs true Christian spirit is daeri- ficed tu their effort to maintain these sectar­ian differences.

afflicting him aa n spiritual being yid hav- lng*»%#peet to Ills spiritual destiny, belongs to the supernatural; and that wa can know nothing of His will and purpose except It be given to ns in some suiiematnra] manner. Tho idea is, that God works differently or by' different methods, In thlunaterial and In the spiritual of the universe. That In tho natu­ral,, He has created all natural things and has established the laws by which they are to bo governed, and that having thus provid­ed for natural operations, ho leaves nature pretty much to herself, exceed when, for some purpose, Ho wishes to astonish tpo peo­ple, and show His presence and [wwer, He interposes to suspend some natural law; or to do some other supernatural thing. But In fhe spiritual He Is supposed to be present In an especial manner; and that whatever He does in spiritual things, He acts without law; anfi, hence, always by eitecJal provi­dences. If the theologian would look more deeply into |In* laws governing In the spirit ual.aud into the uniformity and omuipotency of their operations, ho would soon be able to correct many and fatal error», which now pnenmher his system; and find common and Rational grounds upon which all could build for eternal life. *

The Infinite Presence which fills the uni verso and gives law to all things by such Presence. 1« as Imminent In the natural as In the spiritual universe; and all operations from the least to tho greatest are a mani­festation of such Presence, whether pertain­ing to the material or the spiritual. There is a Presence which fills the universe, and which Is manifest in the operation of all laws. And this Presence la supposed to be eternal and immutable; and as such. Is con­sidered supreme; that whatever exists is, a proceeding from this Presence, and Is fash­ioned and sii-dallied by a power Incident thereto, operating In a manner determined thereby, which is denominated the law of such formation, and sustentation. Now if anyone can change the relation of this Pres­ence to any department of existence in the universe; or can alter tho mode of its acTTon therein, he cun abolish or suspend the opera- tlon of natural law, either In the material or the spiritual of the universe, and not other­wise. If this dominating Presence In the universe Is self-existent, self-snfllcient,4«- flnite, eternal and immutable, there cim be no such thing in respect to Its operations, as supernaturallsm. Everything which takes place in any department of existence, takesplace as the result of the potential presence,...................... Its.................

upon the same «venta; and they build their

and according to the Inevitable method Inci­dent to the condition and relation by which such method Is determined; and the law of the oiiernttou Is ns omnipotent and a» omni­present as is that Presence which is manl­iest in such legal operation. Hence, in re­ality, all operations under the divine govern­ment are normal, from the uiiionpif the ele­ments to form the earthy particle, to the crowning work of coming to the stature of perfect manhood .iu- Christ, by means of which the Immortal become« filled with all the inline»' of God In love, in wisdom and iu power.

Under the divine government, man’s pow­er to Accomplish his destiny is limited to tho attainment of such states and conditions, and to assuming of such relations, as will- secure the normal and just operation of those laws, which can and will in him, to bring the several natures, cuifslfttitlughto humanity, to completfljy*«». It is manifest, that- aside from the uttiilmmmt of proper status and the assuming of proper relations, there are no other means at hand, by which man cau truly aeek completeness arid Qml hh true destiny. Therefore it will be of nn avail to seek In any other way, to secure the good or to avoid ’the evil. The Divine in­junction is, and It can be no leas.

For Ui* Belletti Ptllotopblekl JoumiLKnowledge through the Sense».

nv C. it. MURRAY.

The means with which we are endowed to become acquainted with the material world and have Its phenomena mada^pparenl to our consciousness, are'embraced. liKyrhnt are or­dinarily termed the five aensesNjf hearing, touching, tasting, smelling and seHng. Borne of these sense» are very inefficient Ifi^the ex­teat of their opernUon,aud any of them vary greatly in different individuals. Some per­son« have no ears for music; and others, al­though having a perfect sight in other re­spect«, are color mind even to the extent that they cannot distinguish between red and blue. Ingerabll remarked In one of his lectures that It -was not a very good world to raise a high grade of men and women; and that Us capd bllttles In this direction wore very limited. He might comment further on the fact that the means at our command for becoming fa­miliar with the world we live in, ere very meager In range and aentenesfl, If we set to workJby'dlscipHne to develop any one of the senses, Its Increased sensibility Is generally attained at the expense of some one or all the others, Not only.to this the case, but the kind of development that the special sense Is sub­jected to appears to disqualify or weaken Its operation In an opposite direction. Thus tho man who accustoms his eye to scan mlnnte objects become« near-sighted; whllo the sail­or who sees a ship so distant that ordinary sight can dlstlfiguish jiothlng, has his vision so pro longed-that he (a unable to command it on minor matters.

When we come to study the true nature of sub» tanc«s,the re Is much that we must team by Inference and analogy, as we are not en­dowed with nnfielent sense to know them otherwise. Onr judgments arising from the exercise of the eensee, are often misleading an^nntrne.jN) that we must be on constant guard that we are not self-deceived. Onr sense of smell is very Inferior—far below that of many brute animals—add so narrow In Its range that we fall to distinguish tnany poi­sonous gases that are total to life. Our sense of touch is so clrcnmscrtbed that ft Is of lit­tle use. except to determine the external

form of physical objects. Hero let mo say that the sense of touch should uot include the sense of temperature, which, latter should be clue« I tied by Itoeif as a etxlb sense. When we handle anything, lu addition to recogniz­ing IU form, wo have separately from this an apprehension of how cold or how hot it may bo, and this Henna I» a very poor one. It ha« It« origin In vibratory action, as seeing or hearing does, but its com pa»« J« so narrow that very few persons after long pwicHce could be able to toll the kind of beat they felt, or the kind of substance from which It ema­nates; yet there is as much difference between the heal vibrations given off by copper and those of iron, as there ia between tho notes of a bugle an 1 [lie scream of a locomotive. If this sense of temperature In us were as Scute as hearing, wo should be able to group differ­ent kinds of beat iu different pitch, so that they would bo productive of harmony, and would give as much pleasure as a piece of music. As It Is, there I» a wide field full of poesibllitles for enjoyment and instruction, from which our dullness forever excludes us.

81r William Thompson lias lately proposed to add an additional sense which he calls the magnetic sense. How wide It» claim for rec­ognition may be at present, is difficult to de­termine; but Us possession is likely so rare that it can hardly be claimed as a human a t­tribute. - Thera are person« born with five fingers instead of four, but taking these ex­ceptional cases wa could hardly assert that the human ruco Is five fingered. Baron Von. Belchenbach la his investigations found a few persons who could locate a magnet In tho dark by seeing tho lu mi nous light about Its poles. Such people have a peculiar nervous organization, or what might be termed a northern-light tcniperniuciff- They are af­fected— an a not agreeably either—by every electrical or magnetic variation of weather, and rarely possess good health. A spot on the sun may throw them into hysteria or melan­choly. Sensitive ns a telephone they quiver at the slightest disturbance of nature and re­spond as readily Ho discord as to harmony. Such persons are always |medinmistic and many of them stand oil the dividing, bounda­ry hetween the two world». Happy for them if they are surrounded, by auspicious circum­stances, for they are as iu capable as an eol Ian harp of selecting the kind of breeze that will awaken them into notion.

Poor as our aen«cs are, it is wholly through them that wo can come into contact with ma­terial existence and either enjoy or suffer. If they were more acute, we might tnnke more rapid progress, but our misery would also be proportionally enhanced. Our knowledge and enjoyment of the world depends upon the soundness and vigor of these faculties. The greatest pleasure is experienced when they are aroused.In combination and the mind I» filled with multiplex sensations. In the high­est emotion« we seek to employ onr whole lie- lug simultaneously. Thus ¿u love the mind 1» not satisfied by seeing, bearing and touch­ing the object of its adoration, but desire« to alsoHiule. Hence kissing Is enlisted to en h¡luce the delights of affection. It may bo mentioned hero that In Southern Asia among the Siamese ami others, Migt kissing Is not in vogue as a salute or mark hi love, lint that smelling is. The lover leans U|«m and smell» the neck of his mistress. They think smell­ing is much more elegant thrill ta-ding. Al­though this may seem an odd custqm, who has not seen a mother in her ecstasy over her Infant not only kls» but smell it. os if It were a fragrant blossom,' and by so doing bring every sense to bear by which »ho may appre­ciate and enjoy it.

In the present condition of civilized society there are two classes of influence operating upon the senses thal are directly opposite iu their effect«. Thç exigencies mid anxieties of life, so urgent mid inexorable In circum­stance«, have a cou»tant tendency to sharpen and exult the perceptions. The steam pres­sure burry, the rush after vvi^llh, fashion and display, is converting every good sized town lulu u el muerons «took exchange, where every one iswtfrkwi up by the tension of specula­tion, wild Lopes and eager effort». This »train, worry and conflict are breeding men wilt» a restless glare of the eyes bordering on insani­ty; in fqct,-is breeding insanity. It 1« serious mutter that this nialudy has doubled in pro­portion to the population in all our large cit­ies during tho to-d ten years, (julet reflection succumbs to delirious sensation», aud the healthful pulso 1« lost iu the fever throb en- geudered by the vain attempt to grasp the world.

The opposite influence Is to be found in such vicious habits as lead-to deaden the sen­sibilities ami stupefy the inileil, do »eekiug escape from the environment» of life, thou­sand« dull and debase the moi sat ion » by the use of opium, tobacco, whiskey aud beer. By ifresort to these befogging remedies the acute- ness of existence Is toned down nearer to the level of the brute creation, and life rendered endurable by canceling a part of its obliga­tions. Tho number who are thus seeking re­lief by voluntarily curtailing their faculties, ia largely on the increase. Many who would not commit suicide partially paralyze their consciousness and live through an interim of slupor produced by some potent drag.' So we see this wonderful compound of materiality and immortal »oui striving -after all power, and prescience on the one hand, and seeking oblivion apd rest on the other. J

Self-consciousness la derived wholly from sense consciousness. I t Is Impossible to con­ceive of a person knowing anything of him­self except aa he has come In contact with himself through his physical senses. Suppose a person to be lying quiescent in some dark cave where there la no light or sound, and In

To throw all this aside and think of being valuable aa a shadow to a world of film, seems, to the grower compre­hension, kind of thin. Without the frequent and incontrovertible testimony of spirit In­tel lice nee,It would be Incredible; and, I would bo disposed to believe without such evidence, that the faith that we live after the body’s de­cay.had Ha origin in man’s egotism and aetf- valuatlon. But the voice«calling from the oth-er shore tell of the soul's resurrection and the reality of another life, adjusted to satisfy All the aspirations of the mind toward what la pure, loving and wise.

I have noticed with regret that our lecture associa­tions are, with few exception«; poorly uustaiu- ed; that societies, once prosperous and pro­gressive. have either entirely ceased to exist or htc In many instances reduced to the verge of.dlshnndonmeiit.

Why this (date of affairs?—I fancy I hear certain of my readers ask. Why should Spir- ilualimn. one of tho most progressive causes, be retarded at a time when It unquestionably iu attracting plow? attention than ever: when the most erudite of Lhh country and Europe are carefully exnrnlulng into its claims and succumbing to the mass of evidence contluu- ally aggregating In Ils favorV

I answer, true, there never was a time in ils history when Its phenomena attracted more attention.or a» much;and this fact will dptibt- lesHly prove that, Instead of being retarded, It Is triumphantly marching on to victory. But It must be remembered that It Is the phe­nomenal phase which is receiving so ranch attention, andthat. In spite of the knavish design» of unprincipled mediums nud numer­ous charlatan« who ore continually preying upon nn over-lndulgeiilaud credulous public. It-may at first seem strange that the phe­nomena of Spiritualism should receive such general Attention and absorb,ns it were,fully two-thirds of thn interest manifested iu Srlr- Itualism, while It« philosophy should, to a great extent, bo Ignored, or tojiDier-^Words. slighted. Upoij taklffg3 ^g?iieral survey of the field, hnwevCTTlt will be Heen Ibal there are grave causes which operate against a sue ceesful promulgation of the philosophy of Spiritualism, but which in no way interfere with it« phenomenal phase.

The phenomena of Spiritualism, It must be borne in mind, are really its fundamental basis (without It the philosophy would Is* worthless, or at best no better than the theo­logical teaching« of the Christian Church) and are Ht all times,under proper conditions,' susceptible of ocular demoiHlrntlou. It does not require the preseuce at a circle of an adept In science, a learned philosopher or a metaphysician, In order to have manifesta­tions occur, therefore, the doors of spiritual plienmneiiA are tfirown whto open and who­ever desire«, can entPr its Temple, and if po«-, sensed of latent tued In I powers, develop them.

o’ot so with its philosophy. It requires keen, astute and matter minds in clearly ami effect- ualiy elucidate the gloritiu« truth« Involved therein. It requires no ability to become a medium, no previous literary training, no close study, no deep researche«; but It doe« require much erudition Iu order to become a successful expounder of the Philosophy of Spiritualism. Now it 1« a conceded nu<l lum- entobln fact that tha spiritual rostrum can boast of but few—very few—advanced think-

had been reached and the ponderous loco rate ............. freii

ers or master minds. Its majority of speakers lug jit thn requisarc to a marked extent lacking

He qualifications, and it is ia fTOsv fact pri­marily, the sluggish condition of SpIritnftlHl association» and the lock of Interest therein can bo attributed. Tho Inquiring mind fail­ing to find sufficient food for thought, where above all pdaceH ho expect» to find it, elflior gets callous on the subject of Spiritual tom,or devotes more time and attention to it» phe­nomena, neglecting almost entirely Ha ros­trum.

Now, I may ask, why should,this bo ho. con­sidering the vast number of highly cultured and Inlellectual mind« more or leH« identified with Spiritualism ? Why should Spiritualist rostrums auffer for want or c impotent ex­pounder» of its glorious truths, when I t num­bers among It« avowed adherent» men of scientific and literary attainments by the hundred? r can only base my reply on ex­perience and observation, and it lias been my privilege to observe tho condition of many societies throughout the country. I believe that Spiritualist alone are to blame for this lamentable state of affairs. To fully eluci­date would require much space; 1 will, there­fore, briefly summarize. y ,

\ . j The lack of interest manifested towardthe philosophical teaching» of Spiritualism aa promulgated from the platform» of the various societies,may be attributed primarily to the lack of ’sufficient lecturers possessed of the necessary qualifications, Htorary, scien­tific and philosoptfical.

2;—The dearth of efficient platform advo­cates may be attributed to the lack of induce­ments to enter the field and not totbe uop^>- ularity of the cause, as is erroneously sup­posed by many.

3- The Inability of societies to hold out sufficient inducement.» to men and wo me a; abundantly qualified for the work. Is owing;

(a) To the inactivity of Spiritualists ofwealth and influence, who hold aloof and render no service to the cause whatever, pat­ronizing tho Univer»allst, Unitarian or other denominational churches, and co-operating therewith instead of endeavoring to advance the cause dearest to them of the truth of wh Ich they are convinced. ^

(b) The continued dissension« existing among those who do take an active part and who should strive to conduct the affairs of the respective societies harmoniously and effi­ciently Instead of jarring with one another and creating discord, to the detriment of the cans«.

A The lack of financial aid and co-opcra-tf on on the part of Spiritati 1st« a»a whçlêi -To me, these seem to be some of the pHncto

Bit cause*, which retard the progreea of èsele- « as a whole. Of coarse, I do not claim U'

ttvo with its train of cars freighted with hu­man being« Waq descending a steep declivity at the rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour, wliou suddenly the axle of tho car, In which L was sitting conversing with a PrwtbyterlBn rnlntoter, broke and the car jumped the track. The train was »topped just m time to prevent It« being ditched, and tho locomotive was de­tached and «ent forward to summon a wreck­ing car to repair the damage.

After a delay of three or four hoffrs the pas­sengers began to get somewhat impatient and assembled in small groups in Hie different cars discussing the situation. Bitting by the »love In the damaged car, I noticed a brake- man wlio seemed in deep thought. Approach­ing him I Inquired the nature of his thoughts He replied that he Could not keep thinking what a narrow esetpe nil hand« find. Further questioning 'elicited the following In sub­stance. lie was rear brakenmii of the freight train which shortly after the accident had stopped within few yards of our train and was then waiting for us to move on. It was customary to descend the grade where It then stood, at what may ho termed a fast rate of speed for down grade, "but," «Bid thn brake- mail, "thto afternoon, while the train was go­ing at Its usual rnte of speed, a something in­definable seemed to whisper to me. "Down brakes! there’s an accident ahead!” At first he heeded not, but supposed H was merely imagination, when again and Again the warn­ing came and he could not resist the impulse to “down brakes!" Soon after the «Beman from our train wqs seen by the engineer flag­ging. “Danger ahead!" but. If the brake« had not then heen down. It would have been too lute to stop Hie freight train, for with the impetus it Iprtl nral it« close proxiinlly to our train tho brakes could not have been applied in time and with aufllcient success to prevent the untimely death of every passenger in Hie cars.

This to a very remarkable case of timely rescue by sofne wise spirit, and the more ho when it 1« taken Into w n i l m w a that tha brakeman of the freight train knew our train was two hour« ahead of the freight, and had no reason iu, tho world for putting nn tlic broke» at the time he did,except in deference to what Jie supposed lobe art Jmaglm-ry voice. It may here he noted that the voice did not proceed friuu any human being It did not appear to him to be an audible voice, neither was it possible for any human bei'ug to have warned him at Hint distance in time to avert what might have been a sad calamity.

Mr. S. N. Rhoads has given evidence which proves that Turkey-vnLtures are directed to their prey from gleat distances by their sense of smell, and not by sight atone. He partly uncovered a spot where a horse and a cow had boon burled some years before, and in a few hour« buzzards were attracted to the spot in great numbers.

Dr, Oliver Wendell Holme.», In a recent let­ter, said: "I have written' many verses, but the best poems I have produced are the trees I planted on the hillside which overlooked the broad meadown. walloped and rounded at Their edges by loops of tho sinuous Housatoa- Ic. Nature finds rhymes for them in the re­curring measures of the seasons. Winter «trips them of their ornaments and gives them, as H were, in prose translation, and trammer reclothes them.In all the splendid phrases of their leafy language. What are thaw maple» and beeches and birches but odeB and Idyls and madrigals? What are thene pines and fin» and spruces but holy hymns, too solemn for the many-hned rai­ment of their gay deciduous nelghBors.".

And attain. In his remarkable address in Cambridge before the Pill Bela Kappa Socie­ty. not yet three- years qgo, Wendell Phil­lips uttered these memorable words:

■' Social science asserts tha t woman's place In society marks lint level of civilization.

" From Its tw ilight In Greece, through the Italian worship of the virgin-*the dreams of chivalry* the justice of the civil law and the equality of French society—we trace her gradual recognition; while our common law. a< Lord Brougham confessed, was, with rela­tion to woman, the opprobrium of ¿he age and of Christianity. For forty years, plain i»en and women working noiselessly, have washed,away that opprobrium; the statute books of thirty States have been remodelled, amt Woman «famls to day ntmost face to face with her last claim -the ballot. It has been a weary ami thankless, though successful struggle.* But If there be any refuge from that ghastly curse. the vice of great cities, before which social science stands palled and dumb, it lain this more equal recognition of Woman.” J

THE VICTQHT," I f In this critical battle for universal

Suffrage, our fathers’ noblest legacy to us, and the greatest trust Hod leaves In our hands—If there be any weapon, which, once taken from the armory make victory certain, it will be as It bus been In a rt, literature, and society,hycantmonlng Woman into the politi­cal Arena.* >

"The London Time* proclaimed twenty years ago that irttemperance produced more Idleness, crime, disease, want an<1 misery thun all other causes put together; and *the W estminster litvietr calls it n curse that far eclipses all other calamities under which wo stiller, mid if onivefsal Suffrage ever fails here for a time, permanently It cannot fall, . . . , l t will he through mm entrenched In great cities and commanding every vantage ground.” ___

Every one of these young women la a missionary; In tra in ing one you may be train ing hundreds,” Some of the Annex students are tra in ing from lore of study, and the desire of making the most of themselves; many are teachers taking spec­ial advanced work, or young women fitting for the teacher’s life. Among the former student« of the Annex are several teachers of classtSr and mat hematic« in schools of the- East, two -principals of classical schools In Kansas and Montana, a professor of nutrono- my in Carleton College, Minnesota, and teach­ers of G'reek a t Yossar and Wellesley Colleges.

*A Queer I'aterpD Iar.

The queerest thing I have seen out here, says M. D.Conway iri h letter irom Australia, Is thesn-cfllM bulrush caterpillar or v»geiii- Me caterpillar. This a1«o is found in New Zeulan'l, where the native« name it "Aweto- Hotete," but I have two sjreclnienfl found In Tasmania. The plant leu fungus, a Uphmria. which grown seven or eight Inches above the ground, generally in a single stem, round and curving at the end like a serpent. Tills end is thickly covered with brown seed for three or four Inches. It grows n»ar the roofSf u parrlculnr tree, the rgta. When pulled

p Its root is found to consist of a large cat­erpillar thr»e Inches long, which, when dis­sected. Is fnuitd to he solid wood* Every de­tail of tins grub is preserved. The spxcrin grows out of the nape of it» neck. It Is sup­posed Glut when this grub (that of a Large moth)burrows in the ground one of the seeds g»t? between the scales of the neck, strike«- root and completely turns the Interior of th» creatiire Into its own substance, only the shell Is left inlact, no sm allv't rootlet ap­pearing any when*. The aborigines also cut this pure white grub, and a friend tells me that. tHken raw. It Is deltclmi*. The New Zenlatiden? also bum the caterpillar root and rub It Into their tabu» wounds.

“ Celestial «odios.”

On tho first page will bo round a discourse on"Celestial Bodied,” delivered at Central Music

# Hail on Sunday, tho 2nd Inst., by Prof. Swing. Evidently he baa felt the «Jowly and surely changing thought of tho times on those great spiritual realities—felt it and •hared It gladly, it is to ho hoped. Some preacher» submit to the inevitable, and yield when they cannot do otherwise-; others loot for mw light and accept it as a blessing. Mr. Swing Is usually held to be of the latter class —not large In numbers, hut u glorious rem­nant In the clerical ranks.

A few years ago ho said (as quoted by Kpea Sargent In Ills "Scientific Basis of Spiritual­ism"}: "In modern Spiritualism the mind falls into a trance, and Is eloquent without labor, wise without study, *artistic without Btudy or taste, clairvoyant without eyes." Mediums becorao "geographers withput trav­els, readers of the strata of the earth with-

, out sinking a shaft.” Hence he argues, Spir­itualism Is "a new effort to leap over tlie great mediatorial taws" by which Individual effort, skill and labor, "must be used for the accomplishment of an object."

On this Sargent well said: "Tho facta per­sist notwithstanding your disapproval of them. Instead of taking the trouble to veri­fy them experimentally^ the critic siU iu his closet ami evolves hts objections from his owuo priori speculations. So MeJanethoji, and ojher groat men, Instead of qualifying themselves by study to pass an opinion on the Copernlcan system, raised futile objoe-

■ lions out of their lltnited knowledge..........ffhep. os Richelieu relates, the French prf- vost of Plthlvlors, while playing cards in his house, snddenly hesitated, mused deeply, and then solemnly said, ’The King baa just been murdered,’ and It proved true that at that same hour, Henry IV. was aa^sslnated. Was not the officer wise without study, clairvoy­ant Without eyes?”

This Is but one of hundredsof equally well- proven narrations of clairvoyance and seer- ship. Tho worila of Mr. Swing, lu those past years, only reveal a contempt based on an ignoraned pitiful to every Intelligent Spirit­ualist. Now he says:

"There J* nothin« urn-natural in high Spiritualism a j ft«M b j m»Djf for K gar dead p u s Into other bodies (Iren I* no reason r?r uw nnlnc that a coinstloi form KJ?*1 WWAitr and deruULj and^w tnnci.bie and Tlslble re our sm ses, cod nimteU A n s i U M*p or touched by our m m «. Tho f*u|i Is In ou> • cum« and not In the beta* of tho Creator.. H en« iho instil- bllttr of lb« dead U no proof of th « r annlbllaUoa, but It is onlf « proof that they has« ixiammI out of the tort- roo o to g M p M t spiritualism 1* not therefore so ab- suidiw. but It l* only a ilroorr that ssutlts proof. This proof ho* so Look been absent that raaby of u* feet that lo these yean man Is cut off from each communion and must wait for death to transfer him to the spiritual J 0«?Uy, but m a r e not In any condition of Information to and Anj logfenl fault with Hu m «bo sail in this life deiact the present» of those who have passed through the valley of disrolutton. They are fortunate in basin* found a path between the two worlds.

*• uncertain as to the stUtude of the nobtest 8pl ritual* Jet s am oerutn that the MaterUUitsarelnfnmeiTor In their esUmatoe of the universe.”' The latest utterance shows a change of

rpood, a new respect, aa admission, Indeed, that Spiritualists are "fortunate lu having found a path between the two worlds." We give him dne credit for this healthful change, —which Is not only in bis receptive soul but in the very air. Bnt he sky a: “This proof (of Spiritualism) has long been absent." It may be absent from those who do not obey the Scripture, “Seek and yb ehall find." bnt sore- ly be most know that it U present to mil­lions who have sought’ It carefully and dili­gently, and that among these are some of the noblest and most gifted men and women of our day.

Spiritualism offers its abundant proof— with clairvoyance and our other Interior spir­itual faculties as its allies—of the continu­ous and unbroken persona) life of man, here and beyond the grave; of the Immanence and positive sway of ‘fiiiud over matter; of the glory and beauty and naturalness of largo parts of the Bible, rationally viewed and in­terpreted in its light. It settles the question of n future life; its proof positive of continu­ity of life through the outward Bouses, meet­ing and confirming the soul's intuition, the voice within which says: "Thou shalt not die!” It shows,too, the shallow and fragment ary folly and false pride of inductive Hrience which ignores tho soul of man and the soul of things, leaving 6nt mind, spirit, the rul- iBg factor in a complete science,'from its im­perfect processes.

Mr. Swing Is a ripe and broad student. What subject so lip porta nt or so worthy of thought and investigation as this? He and others of a choice and gorily company have outgrown miracles and Infallible blbles and like dogmas, and are afloat without a Cou­nt rue live and rational splritnal faith and knowledge; without a key to a true Bible ex­egesis; without a ileep and strongly uplifting Inspiration leading them to affirm great spir­itual verities with conquering power, and are on tho verge of such feeble conceptions of life and Immortality as this gifted preach­er expressed In a late discourse on Wendell Phillips.

"High Spiritualism" will give them a solid basis and a cnnqaerlnglnsplrBtlon, and their upward path must lead to it.

As a closing wont we suggest that the two golden volumes by Dr. Eugene Crowe!I,"Iden­tity of Primitive Christianity aud Modern Spiritualism," are of more value to meet the needs of to-day than a whole library of Ilille commentaries and theological discussions.

J . 0 . J .o n “ Spiritual Thinkers.”

Our friend, J . 0, J., comments on an editor­ial in the J o u r n a l of February 23rd, Jri which It Is suggested that an Inductive thinker like Matthew Arnold cannot compre­hend a splritnal thinker like Emerson. Our correspondent says, in another column:

“I* not the ft Uriah twin* oontiliuted a* aii tndtrldunl-livO. uultlred arid bulAncnlarKunUaUon.eniltmttl with (HI the l.icitltlf*; emotional, moral, intuitional rollon«] and tiplrtUtal, that are .e*rn;nlUU to IU true growth and pipanjloo ? The*« fmcul ilea Are doubtlcM w lo t t t J ; de­veloped a* m p ec u Individual*, but It require* them nil to commute a irue generic «fwclraen of humault?. It requires them all tocoioplelcijr endow the human spirit, and All. therefore, may be considered spiritual faculties; and henre all thinker* who brine to bear. In duo mea*- ure. nr each the unliked powers or the soul may os termed * »plrilunl thinkers.' According to the laiiauaK« or your editorial, ih ij ran not be the definition or spirit­ual. Unukluii that I* meant, tor It Is declared ‘ Impus- slble tor an Inductile thinker to weigh and measure tbs Intuitions or a spiritual thinker.’ ”

His definition la just oars, as to spiritual thinking. His summing up of "emotional, moral. Intuitional, rational and epiritual faculties" la correct, but the materialistic and Inductive thinker ignores "intuitional and spiritual faculties," and of course can­not comprehend what he ignores, Emerson says: "Man is an intelligence served by bod­ily organs," making the spirit1 supreme and active. Davis says, in substance, nearly in our words: "Something of all elements be­low man, something of all essences and spir­itual powers in the universe, are in man, who Is akin to all and Intuitively seeks to knftw all."

The Materialist makes the on ter libel l.we call matter king, ami spirit its dependent subject, with a transient lliq^endiug In the cose of man with Hint of the body. Pure In­duction is the materialistic method; induc­tion and deduction combined make the per­fect method, as our cornsjwndent dearly sees and says; and each must test aud verify the other. Intuition discovers, and experi­ment verifies and maps out ¿he path. Kmer- sou was an intuitive thinker, Arnold is not, and, of course, bo cannot comprehend tho, American philosopher. Emerson would fully endorse our correspondent's clear statement of the varied faculties of man; by Arnold’s Inductive method the Intuitive and spiritual faculties are nil,—impossible to be appreciat­ed by him aud his like.

Arnold may be Jess materialistic than jve make him, but that does not affect the argu­ment at all. We take --him us aAype of a class. Aside from all* tblaj"'however, Emer­son is far the greater man. Without wish for discussion, this brief explanation is due iur valued correspondent. \

Suicide oT a Spiritualist.

A New Orleans correspondent sends us ar­ticles from the San Antonio (Texhs) Express nnd the Ciljr Item of New Orleans on tho Into suicide of Thomas 1Í. Howard, at Kan Anton­io, He was from New York, an able lawyer In New Orleans for some year*, and literary editor of the Express when his earthly career ended; a mail of warhi affections, hílense feeling, brilliant talents and a tinge of ec­centricity in hi».c!mrnctor. Thesuijournois speak of him with great kindness, and of his surviving wife and family In like humane spirit. The Exp rest describes him as "an old man bowed dawn with the weight of many years and disease," and tells of hía taking a fatal dose of morphine in ills lonely room,bis family not being with him. It gives also his views of suicide, written in 1&42 for tho Evening TAght,nui\ found marked la his room. They are as follows:

So rare a thing' Is it for such an intelligent Spiritualist to commit speedy suicide, that one can readily believe It wat involuntary with Mr. Howard, even had lie not so protest- mi and portrayed its evil consequences; and whilst It may be pronounced (in net of Insan­ity where precipitated by obsession or from surcease of mental or physical agony1, It seems unreasonable to decliitadl_sucli always. If snicide.be only seif-obstruction, all viola­tions of laws that luad ut\to dentil lire lint slower steps to it; and when there can bp found nuy sane human adult .that hns not some time acted against his or-her convic­tions, and In defiance of consequences, it will be time enough lo pronounce a# a rule those insane who lay violent hands upon their bodi­es. While we should regret the luck of force or nerve required to bear any of tho ilia of this life, let us tu»t go to the extreme of pro- nounclngsuch nrbitrury.fearful consequences of suicide aa Mr. Howard portrays. The act of voluntary suicide is but the last of the many steps thut led up to it; but one of the legions that will have to be regretted or re­traced, here or there, by eacli of us, before we assume that firm standing that essays to higher ones. *-

W'e are all suicides in the degree that1 we- do violence to the physical and spiritual laws of otrrorganizations—no more, no less; just as much so, as those were sinners above all others, upon whom the tower of Slloatne foil in Christ's time. J, McD.

The well-balanced and much enduringumn bears Ills ills nnd bides hia time. This gifted but unfortunate man was overborne by dis­appointment. acting on his sousltive but un­balanced temperament. The healthful man. In his earthly body, is not obsessed or wholly psychologized by any morj^l or any spirit. Obsession or such jwypflologifca! control as makes ono person habitually the tool and creature of another’s will, does not come to the healthful aud self-reliant. Tim Kplf pois- ed soul Is its own master. It may be occas­ionally swayed and Influenced, but it la not for any length of time the blind subject of another will.drlven to acts it knows uud feels to be evil and unwise. We commend to especial attention oar correspondent’s sug- gealiona on self-destructive habits;

Madame Biavateky, the ex-circus rider.who haa of late years so increased In avoirdupois aa to render It moro comfor table-like to ride theoao«hy, is suffering fyom 111 health and has left India for France, Whets, 01 where are the Himalayan Pro there?

Ho Is popularly supposed to be a lineal des­cendant of one of the survivors of the old unpleasantness at Donnybrook Fair and to Inherit his ancestor’s pugnacity. Ho Is no­ticeable in public assemblies, owing to bis rich brogue, an usual abdominal nnd cerebel­lar development and peiaiatant previoosnoss. Not having had as much free adve/tlstug as his ambition craves, he lately sought to se-

Alas for his hopes, be got it cheap, but not wide; the J o u r n a l I d accordance with its long established rule of treating such duplicate« as advertisements, declined to in­sert. But Sf the gentleman of tho variegated religious record and bellicose nature, thinks hts abdominal brain will be better nourished through the results of an advertisement In the J o u r n a l , hls letter will be published on receipt of a dollar a Una therefor.

Correspondents of the o-s-p-o-e are hasten­ing to correct-the statements of J, L. O’SnlU- vaUrdately published In that paper.

Spiritualists of the J o u r n a l school will un­doubtedly say this deguttid ia a superfluous corroboration, of tho fellow’s guilt; bqt they will bo told by the .Banner o f LipAt'faction, that spirits often lake clothing, masks and other paraphernalia iqto tho cabinet with which to "make up," as it saves "drawing” so on the poor medium; and by tho same to­ken the captured goods belong to Shea or Mathew, whichever his name may be, as the only earthly representative of tho returning spirits. The following la a partial catalogue of the spirit outfit;

One long white robe. /One whllti wig.One set wWafcererofiong white hair.One crown, studded with precious stones

arid ornamented with four long white plumes.One pink sash, made of mosquito netting.Otte pair eye glasses.(The above is a list of White Prince’s

wardrobe.)One small mask for Snow Drop, an Indian

maiden.One black vail for a colored woman.One white robe and false beard used to

personate President Garfield.One dark valt, generally used to represent

whiskers. *Three canary whistles.It Is surmised that "the persecuted" is dis­

couraged. os it were, and Intends leaving 'toWn, b u t the J o u r n a l assures him he need not be downhearted. Formerly some of the leading lights of Mrs. Cora L.V. Scott-Jlatch- Danleh-Tappan-Rictimond’s meeting acted ns "steerera” to Shea’s den, and now that the ofton re incarnated and much married Indi­vidual hits returned to Chicago for a brief stay, Shea should linger yet a while, at least until "Water Lily" and "3apphlre" wend their way elsewhere.

f An n y n c t from I f n . Em m a TU itilnce-nrtU t»> new work, “ M iir tw n ih Century M ltnel« , o r Spirit« umi lb« li W ork'In Ere ry-Country of the World, f

Tho clrcum.itance8 of the following narra­tive, although thoyhave lieeti frequently- in­ferred to In othor ptiblicatiomc «re too nearly rriiuled to tho early hlntory of HpirUtialbRi In fireat Britain to bo omitted. They bear, tuore- over,.flo closely upon the hypothesis Chat wi*e spirits hirvo been ex perl me tit! riff during this century In many directions, with a view of entablbhlng tidegraphic ronmumiciitioiiH be­tween the two world.«, that our present recit­al seems peculiarly apposite to this portion of the wor.k.

It seems that a young girl of about 13 years of age, the daughter of Mr. John Jobson, a resident of Bishop Wear mouth, near Sunder­land, sometime during tho year 1839 became the subject of a severe but inexplicable ill- nww,. Mary Jobson had been a strong healthy girl up to the period named, when she suddenly seemed to collapse under an attach which confinedTier to her bedfof over seven mouths, during which she became blind, deaf and dumb. From time to time numerous physi­cians were called In, by whose directions the poor patient was subjected to alt tho penal­ties of tho "heroic" system of treatment.

Her case was described as "an abscess on , the brain," but whatever the malady might

hjLTabeen, it was obvinnsly increased by the applications' resorted to by her medical at­tendant«.

Soon after the most serious features of this case became developed. it was remarked that the whole honse. and especially the sick girl's chamber, resounded with unaccountable Rounds, consisting of heavy poundings'. pat­tering of feet, tho ringing or bells, and the clashing of metallic substances, \

> As the girl’s disease progressed in violence, these disturbances grew more marked; there were-times however when they changed to soft and delightful music which centred in the Invalid’s chamber, yet resounded through every part of the dwelling. Sometimes it would seem as If a vast crowd of people were ascending the stairs and thronging Into the room. Eien fhe wind (Aaf mi'oAi be occasion­ed by panning bodies icni felt when no one bat the ordinary attendants were visible. During the progress of th doenhenomenV, the tones of a human Voice wdrefteoiiently heard pro­testing against the application of leeches and blisters/and recommending mild herb drinks, Which, when tried. Invariably alleviated thp poor patient’s sufferings. On one occasion when sererAl'inembersof the family, together With Drs.Clamiy and Kmbleton. were present, this vole© spoke clenTly and said: "Your ap­pliances will never benefir.but materially in­jure the girl, She will recover, but by no hu­man means.” On several occasions the glass­es containing medicines, together with blis­ters abd leeches, were snatched out of the a t­tendant’s hands, and thrown to distant parks of tho room. Not 'infrequently a crooning tone was heard, as of a mother soothing a sick child, and the poor girl's hair was put back and smoothed by tender invisible hands. Dr, Beattie who witnessed many of these scenes, affirms, that it would be impossible either to describe or forget, the angelic expression of the Invalid’s face at the time when Ihe iniuil- festations of invisible presence were nunt evident.

About the -Hxth month of this strange drama, the celling of the room In which Mary Jobson lay. was suddenly found adorned with a beautifully [minted representation of the sun. moon on (Tatars.

The father of tho patient-w in from the first had been determinedly hostile to the iu viHiblo actors, alleging that they were "de­mons." and the cause of bis child'aalckneas — no sooner perceived this fresh proof of spirit­ual agency, than he proceeded to obliterate the paintings with a thick coat of whitewash. Ilia work was in vain however, fortheobnox* ious paintings re-nppeared as soon as the whitewash was dry, only fading out when the child's recovery was established.

On Jnne 22hd. IKln. Mary Jobson regained her speech, hearing and sight, as suddenly as fllie had tost them. Ib-r strength too returned and in a few days, without any apparent cause for the change, she was entirely restored to her usual health and spirits. For several weeks the occasional sounds of music, voices, knocklugs, and the movement of bodies eon*

6 tinned, but these phenomena ultimately ceased, and irave never since rotnrnod.

The chief witnesses to this wonderful his­tory were the girl’s 'parent-*, numerous friends, and neighbors;Doctors Embleton and Beattie; also Dr, Drury, Messrs. Torboch and Ward, eminent surgeons, and Dr. Reid Claimy, F. B. 8„ physician In ordinary to the Duke of Sus­sex, and at the tlrn*» of these occurrences, senior physician of the Suderland Infirmary.

Dr. Held Clatmy, who was not professional­ly called In to attend the child, became in­formed of her case through the reports that were in circulation concerning It, Like a true and candid scientist, this gentleman, heedless of all wild rumors that reached him, called on the parents, and subsequently fol­lowed up the case with the closest scrutiny, often witnessing the phenomena described, and satisfying himself according to bis own published statement, “that the power—come from whence it mu —was not only kind and beneQeent, bat that It manifested all the to­kens of human intelligence, and was better able toprescribe remedies and delineate the oounw o f the disease than any of tho attend silt physic ikns."

These admission** were made In an account of the case which Dr. Clanuy published in

S tolet form, and though he slaked his rep- in upon the truth of his statement«, and

cited the testimony of numerous respectable witnesses, including Doctors Dr.nry. Kmbie- ton, Ward and Torboch, hb fearless and time­ly publication was met by the scoff of tbe press, the ridicule of those scientists who had not witnessed the phenomena described, and the special denunciation of the learned and plot».

/ TkS''pamphlet, nevertheless, was’eagerly -^nongbt up, and a second edition soon called

for. In this Dr. Claim y bravely' maintained his position, adding the following earnest words from Mr. Torboch, one of the surgeons who followed the case throngnbut:— t • "I have had lengthened and serJoug conver­

sations a t different times with nearly,alj, the persons who have borne testimony to this miraculous case, and I am well assured they are religions and trustworthy, and, moreover, that they have faithfnlly discharged their duty In this Important affair between G-od and man.”

Blnce the above account was written, the . author has been favored with a perusal of Dr.

Clanny’s pamphlet, from which the following few additional details are gathered. After

R E L I G I O - i * ì A L O S O P II IC A L J O r U„N A Lcorninemltig oli the peculiarity of the voice heard speaking in Mary’s chamber. Dr.Clanny

“The phenomena o{ human voices speaking, did not seem to be spedai to the «lek giti nl rimiti her. Mrs. Klizulielh ibiiinllrtl, a - O* - • ! mistress, was Hiidilenly startled by hearing a voice cryJng to her, 'Mary Jobson. mitt of your scholars. Is ill; go and see her. it will be good for.you.* Tills person, thechlld’Hschotd-teiu-U- er, did not know Inhere she livori, but finding the address. she wentias direct©*!, and w«s called by a voice In a loud toil», audible Inali those ‘In (be hon*e. to come upstairs. On her second visit, delightful music filled the room, and was heard by sixteen persons,”

"The voice often declared the child did not puffer, her spirit being away, mid her body being sustained by guardian spirits. These voices told many things of distant persons and scene* which came true.”

“Before the girl lost her speech eheaffirmed that ahe was often visited by ’a divine being who looked like a man, only exceedingly heavenly and beautiful.’ Mr. Joseph slngg. and Mrs. Margaret VYataon,. friends of ttie family, who often visited the sick girl, alleg­ed that each of them had at different times be­held the same divine apparitlon,nml bad been assured by R that tlie girl would recover. On several occasions ’the voice’ desired that wa­ter should be sprinkled on the floor,and when the skeptical father refused compliance, wa­ter from some unknown source fell In show- era around the witnessed,"*

“On the 22nd of June, when the poor child seemed to be in the last extremity, the fami­ly assembled round her bed united in pray dr that find would i>© pleased to take her and terminate her sufferings. At five (frlock in the afternoon the voice cried out, ‘Prepare the gir I’ clothes, and let everyone leave the room except the baby,’ This was a little child of two years and a half old, who was playing about near tho window. When the family at length most reluctantly obeyed, they remain­ed outside the dosed door for fifteen minutes; they then beard a voice calling out, "Come in,” and when they entered they found Mary quite well, sitting la a.chalr with the baby on her knee, smiling and happy."

A Grand Surprise.To EM ¿mar ur U* MU*t-ttbaotihlcal Ju«rtt»S:

J. Frank Baxter, the well known lecturer, was the recipient of a grand surprise, on Thursday evening. March fltli, A large num­ber of ladles and gentlemen, mostly connect­ed with The First Spiritualist»’ Ladle«’ Aid Society of Boston, Mass,, made their way to Mr. Baxter’s residence, and there found him busily engaged at the organ, rehearsing mu­sic for the approaching Anniversary, with Mr. Chat. W. .Sullivan, who had previously ap­pointed this time ostensibly for this purpose, but really an a plan to assure Mr, Daxtor’s presence at his home. A very fine informal programme of recitation», (mooches and songs wa« given, wherdu one of Boston's finest elo­cutionists, Mrs. Lucette Webster, rendered « reyy spirited yet touching reading. Mrs. Uax-

{or,who wua in the secret of the surprise par- y, with the others, was most Jubilant at the

complete success; but even the was not aware of all In store, a* she supposed, and exceed­ingly great was her astonishment and pleas­ure, a» well as her husband's, when attention was called to a most finely executed |lfe-«|z* and life-like picture of Mr. J. K-ank Baxter, very appropriately malted and framed lu a fine gold-gilt netting. Dr. A. II. Richardson, in afew well fitting remark», present«! the Picture to view, and introduced Mi»» Jennie B. llagnji. an Improvlnatrice of the Spiritual­ist rostrum, who in turn, In an unusually ef­fective and we 11-constructed poem, entitled "Substorire and Shadow," presented the por­trait to Mr. ami Mr». Baxter, addressing In her rhyme, appropriate portions to, not only each of the recipients, but to their «laughter and to Ihe company. There was also infor­mally presented from an artist present, Prof. J. E. Warren, whose skillful work It was, an oil painting representing a floral seem* in Hi** tropic». The crayon bust was the work of Bliiuey, a Boston artist. Mr. Dsx'er resjtonded as he accepted the-e gifts, and all felt assured that their efforts were successfully crowned, and certainly most thoroughly appreciated.

While these exercises wer^ proceeding, to the occupation of art hour or more t f time, certain ones of the company had token pos­session of the dining-room mid kitchen,nhd ut tho close of the presentation speeches and lit­erary programme, the door-* were thrown open, when the aroma of delicious coffee, til» fra­grance of fruits and flowers, on over-iaden long-spread table of "every thing nice” to eat. a» effectively as the voices of friends who call­ed, invited all to refreshments and it Jolly good time. “ Eat, drink and be merry! " was the motto of this hour, and the viands were of sndh a nature that no one needed to hesi­tate, arid each did do good justice to “ the spread." Then followed conversation, joking and general conviviality, till the parting hour, nea/ed, when “Auid Lang Syne" was sung and "good byes” were said, and every one. Individually, declared as hands were shaken in departing, “1 have had a pleasant eveulng! a Jolly-good .time!" and express­ed to Mr. Baxter most unmistakable confi­dence and true friendship.

A Communication to the ¡Spiritualists of Michigan.

To THE St'I HITT A LISTS OF MICHIGAN Michigan Association of Spiritualists at their into convention adopted a plan for dividing the State into twelve districts, and the or­ganization In each of a District Association, the same to hold quarterly meetings at con­venient point« therein. This seems to be the most feasible plan for thorough and efficient State work in the'cause of Splritnalikm. pro­vided the same Is practically carried out. To do this, It will require a moderate amount of money tor pay tbe expense» of bringing about a proper organization in each district. This first expense should be borne by the State Association. Vtyi have Hu right to call and Bend out laborer» without paying their ex­penses and something besides. After the flrvt organization each district aasoclitiop jr ll l day Its own way. To meet this expense the State Aasoclation must have money. We therefore appeal to the Spiritualists of Mich­igan to come to the front at the present time and contribute to a fund to be need for this purpose and for general missionary work in the State. There are man*/ who can affotd to be liberal In this matter. There are but few who cannot afford to do something.

We who realize that every act of oar earth ltie will either add to. or detract from, our happiness In the life to come, should be earn­est and liberal in promoting a good work. Every dollar contributed shall be used for the advancement of tbe cause under the direction of tbe Executive Board. Memberahlps are solicited; membership fee one dollar. Send subscriptions and memberships to the Secre­tary. Receipts .will be returned signed by the Secretary amt Treasurer,

While the churchm are struck with dry-rot, many o f them have gone to seed and »hut up; othere a re hopelrwdy In debt, with hair-elannl jswtor* rolling vainly for new tiiemta-r# to help them out. What a change forty years haw brought. In 1«W tho annual title Conference of the M, F,. Church slu in g at I’aitn*-

It Is now next door to Jeru salem ; four rim rrii building»?- all looking M-rvly. imue of ihrm of as much conresiuence to the people as Nasby’s Cross i binds.

Burely, religion never w as sn powerful ns now ; never so much sympathy for the po*-r, Ihe sick, the nnfortunale ami the Ignorant: never such a feeling o f universal broth* rh<«id ns now, Noble tmui mid women are not content with dry creeds lhat few !*- here mill none like, and with n system that lias largely changed cUuiclire from I'hrjslhm lly, a goe- |*1 for I lie ]Hi,,r. into terffpb-s of show uud taslilon

T he .Wiimtui's Christian TerniM* ranee Union, the Young Men’s t'liilsthui Association and the Spiritualists, all without creeds, are daily grow ­ing stronger, and exerting powerful tiiituencra In

D rtnslnn a fa P a ic r iw ii W a n sn .Avjjhting to tfu Recorder for Relief for Her SoulA woman, giving her name as Mr* O’Brien Lulrell

living at Stony Rood, Faterson, N. J . was l*tore the Recorder of that city y«eterday to invoke hi* assist­ance In relieving her from a peculiar affliction, Bhe n i l there It a society of men who hare the power of taxing away the souls nf pniple and subjecting these souls to all sorts of unpleasant treatment, returning

"them to their owners when through with them. Her soul bat been thus taken away at Om«a, and th«k wants this tort of thing stopped. About two yean ago her spirit was taken away from Faterson to In­dia one night, and there was dragged Into a eba;*! and united In marriage to a British Colon*!. She Is now the mother of a spiritual bor, 1 year old, whole s fine, healthy llitln fellow, but she t* not yermltted to bring him Into tbs realistic world, much ss she desires to do so, to show blis to her friend* The woman, who I* represented ss Ln other respects per­fectly sane aud kind and affectionate, thus lives s strange doable existence, one phase of- which la U> bar ae real as lb« other. It Is Inconvenient at times, for some days ago she sent far a physician, to whom ■he related how she had been cruelty assaulted and beat«], so that she was son all over her person. He found her bandaged from head to foot, and on mak- a careful examination found not a sign of Injury. It then occurred to bet that the smuII had been com­mitted by the spirit* and that. Of course, be could

' not And on her natural body, any signs of tb*4r bad treatment on her spirit us] body, but she fell much

* pain nevertheless; She Is a single woman, but uses oo ail occasion* the name of the British Colonel to whom she believes herself united spiritually. The Recorder told her that he could not Ism warrant* forth* arrest of (he yinglrodera of the sodetywho Interfered with her soul, sad be did not believe any power short of the Supreme Court of the United States could afford her relief in -the premise* Bhe deferentially agreed with him, and aeys she will bring the matter to the attention of that august Irl- bonaL—jV*w York Timm.

ror in* aallgto-ltnoiaphbaU jMirrul.The Coming City.

Science has come to teach a new system of human life; Its otUoi work la to build, not to destroy. The critics of our day have mistaken their calling. They are trying to read the bookof natuto upside down, and with inverted types. These critics are themselves the rest myth-makers. All the brilliant promises of the Hebrew seers reach their focal point of Intensity in the New Jerusalem. But our as­tute critic* think that they havo resolved the great city Itself luto the glittering dust of an astrological myth. -It Is my purpose to »how In this article that the Bible description of the New Jerusalem is not only verified and

' explained by the greatest discoveries of mo- ^ d e ru science, but that It Is the warm and ra­

diant contcr of all the forces which are to achieve the earthly redemption of man.

’ The Bible contains seven loading Idea* or doctrines. These are represented by tho Tree of Lite and the garden of Kden; the chosen People! mtwelvoTrtbea; the promised Messiah and his relgu; ilie Atonement and Judgment; the Resurrection; the Throne In Heaven with twenty-four rulers; and the New Jerusalem as the capital of the Messianic dominions, I shall prove that each one of these trtithfully represents a great and vitally Important truth in the nature and the collective life of man. I shall show that In the Jaws of hi* mental and physical constitution is the clear and solid scientific proof of each ono of these In­spired ideas. The Christian pfenchers have never professed to understand a single one of them. Not one dogma which the Christian church lias taught is true. They are as far from the truth as it was possible to go. The newly-found tru t^ ls not Christianity and It is not .TudfllHm. And it will not take tho name of either. It is uol simply the teachings «f Jesus, for he explained nothing. It Is not merely a synthesis of »11 past religious and philosophies. Bat It docs reveal the underly­ing laws and truth which struggled for ex­pression in all these systems.

In tho article ou the Tree of Life. Fob, 10th, it was proved by scientific facts that the Bib- Heal description of this tree Is a real and vi­tal truth, tho basic law on which is construct­ed every living object on this earth. The whole world Is challenged to disprove the ar­guments advanced In that article. My limits oblige me to'condense. The life of man is complex. It has many parts and many laws. It is not possible to state clearly a great sys­tem of truth and life In two or three newspa­per article«.

. In a perfect form of society there must be twelve departments, with a male ami a female leader In each one, and two ceutral oflicers for the whole. Kor the object of nil Instltu-

■. tions Is to supply the cnllectlve wants of man. s And Ills twelve group* of faculties produce

twelve classes of wants, ns Illustrated and proved in tho article on the ColliVtive Man. A natural law of harmony governs the group­ing of tho members. They arrange themselves according to i.ielrchsracters, their tastes and tbeif attractions. For example, the croup of science Is composed of members who have large reasoning faculties, for they would nat­urally bo attracted to scientific pursuits. The religious group is formed of those with dom­inant ruBglons orgamC for here they would

'And congenial employment. Members with large ambitious faculties woujd bo drawn to the group of Hulerehlp, and there find their true sphere of action.

The law of mental Responses lolls us just how these groups of members should respond and co-operate with others. The »Ingle fac­ulties respond in thirds, fifths, and octaves. Tho alternate group* re*pond. For example, the group of Art produces, and that of Com­merce distributes, Roth of these pivot npon tho domestic or home group, which loads us to build houses where tho products pf art and commerce may be stored. Without material

. Wealth the group of Letters would not lend men to accumulate the record* of knowledge, and without the group of famlliam tyetween them, men would not perpetuate these records in families and communities. The group of Science discovers and tuvente, and then that of Labor applies these inventions in practical life. These mental and social chord* of har­mony are more fully slated In the fifth chap­ter of the Book Of Life,

The ancient nation of kraal was a "chosen people,” becauHo they were a type of the true organization of society. They were an unde­veloped type, just as a child. Is an undevelop­ed man. Each of the twelve tribes of Israel wasalstlngubhed from the rest by having a dominant group of mental faculties. These different traits of character are strongly pic lured In tho blessings pronounced by Jacob on hi* twelve sons, and they are confirmed by the whole subsequent history of the separate tribes, as given in the Bible and by both Jew­ish and Christian historian*, fkie the filth chapter of Genesis; the 33rd of Deuteronomy; Judges Gth-lf; Kitto's history of tho Bible, pp. 157 to 15«; and Kwald'rlllstory of Israel, pp. 382 to 370. The very names of tha tribes exgpessod their character.

The groups of Art, Home and Commerce, form the base line, on the eonth side, Simeon Is placed ih tho group of a r l and the Popple of this tribe became thescrlbee and muslelaus of Israel. They represented literature and music, tho only brunches of art which were developed among the Israelite*. The word Simeon means "hearing or perception, thus exactly describing this group. The name Zebulon mean* "dwelling," and he is placed on the group Of home, fssachar la placed In u position corresponding with tho group of commerce In the brain. He Is aalil to be a htrong as«, crouching down between two bur­dens. This animal was the beast of commerce in Palestine. The name hwaclmr algnlfles, ‘■biro’* or one who 1» hired.

Located on the eaal side of the city wo »hall find three tribes. Joseph is exactly where th6 ffroiiji of Rulerflhip ia located, an<t no wad made ruler over all hi* brethren. Tho half

• tribe of hi* son Ephrlam stood at the head of tho houaoof Israel when the ton tribes sep­arated from Judah. "They pushed with tho hauiivof Rio unicorn." l)an Ih loathe group dilftbor, In which justice Is the leading mas­culine faculty. Dan mean* a judge, and it !* Bald that Dan shall Judge his people. Of Ben­jamin It l* said tli at die stuill ruven as a wolf. In the morning he snail (favour the prey and at night he shall dlvMeOho spoil Benjamin Ib placed ou the group of wealth, where the defensive and acquiring faculties are, and they were the moat warlike and aequlHlt|vo of all the tribes.

On tho west side of the city, the tribe of Gad l* on Ibo group of letters or philosophy. It 1» the central region* of truth*, and he is said to bo seated In a portion with the law­givers. Asher is In the group of science, and the Aaheriles. mixing with the Pheniemns, became the most scientific of all the tribes. Kfoui them cittno tho biilliWa of Soioflioii a Temple. "Aflher shall have shoosflf Iron and lira»*, he shall dip Ills foot In oil. and ns his days are, b o shall h i * strength be.” Tilts proph­ecy haa a most striking fulfillment In the mo­dern triumph* of science. Its Iron railways and brass-fitted machine* of locomotion are the shoes used in its swift line of travel. These must be constantly dipped in oil, and through these "he brings royiil dainties" from foreign lauds olid make* them common In ev­ery household. Naplituii is in the group of culture, and his "goodly words" and bland manner* come from tho faculties of this group. "He i* swift of foot, a hind let loose.(i nd the group of culture occupies the ex net tine of movement in walking and running,«* we see in the plan of tho brain.

On tho north side the tribe of Levi occupies the religious group, and Ilie Lovite* had the priesthood. Hie religious care of Israel. The twelve stones of the highpriesl's breast-pinto represented. In their number,,color anil ar­rangement. all the faculties of the human and of the divine mind. These wero the Prim and .Thummlm, the sum of all light and beau ty. When these attribute* are all balanced and completer like their symbol In the breast plate, than the spiritual light of the mind I* perfect. In order to leave n place for the tem­ple in the center of the city, the two groups of marriage nnd familism had to Is? turned upward, on each side of religion, with which they are still in Hue. Wo see late change on

Teaching the oame thing through many symbol*during their national history, ho at length gavo to Ezekiel and to John the sublime visions of the New Jerusalem. The city was both a sym­bol and a reality. It was a perfect symbol of tho brain and of the true social organism.nnd It wo* tho most perfect model for building all the cities of the new and redeemed earth.

In 185« I had classified tho faculties In tweivo groups, and had elaborated add pub­lished the plan for the reconstruction of so­ciety on these a* a basis. It wo* not until nineteen years afterward, in 1878, that I dis­covered that the tribe* were placed on their dominant group* of faculties in tho Plan of. Hie city. Sly classification wo* therefore not made to At the description in tho Bible. It ^as discovered and worked out independont-?And now I have a word to the myth-makers.

The Frenchman Dupuis, and following him tho English Robert Tnylor, In hi* Astronom- ic«-theological Sermon*,from page 201,(1831,} with many imitator* since, like Dr. Woolley, Gerald Massey and other*, have give us their mythical explanations. They say that the twelve tribes of Israel had no real existence. That they only represented tho twelve con­stellations and sign* of the Zodiac. That they were astronomical nnd not human. In order to shoïw my reader* how nicely these wise critics can count and measure, Î will Ural give the arrangement of the tribe» and con­stellation* b* presented by Taylor. After this i» placed tho tribes as arranged in the wilder­ness. Taylor has put only three tribe*. Eph­raim, Reuben and Naphtall, in the same pla­ce* as In Hie camp. On comparing Taylor » arrangement with that of the New Jerusalem, wo find only two tribes In tho right place,that Is, Simeon and Dan, Ah Gentlemen! you are skillful workmen, truly. You can fit the mark two times out of twelve. No. doubt we can trust such as you to frame a new religion.

comparing the engraving of tho Now Jerusa­lem with this one of the twelve groups. These two groups of famlll*m and marriage project to the side and on laying <jnr man down dot, to correspond with tho level city, they would naturally fall down luto the places here given them. The change Is governed by a «tried law of tho brain. Reuben’s place Is now In the group of famllisui, and being the first-born, -He represented the family by tho law of in­heritance, The name Reuben means “see & son.” "Let not his men bo few." The trihe of Judah Is in the group of Marriage and the Lion of the tribe of Juuah Is to claim the re­deemed Israel a* his bride. The modern Jews are composed of the ancient tribe of Judah, mixed with part of Levi, from whom they get their strong religious fadings, awl with part of Benjamin, from whom chpies their, love bf wealth. . \

How shall we explain this marvellous rela­tion between the human brain and tho New Jerusalem? It could not be the r&uR of eith er accident or of coincidence. Fiu let it be announced lhnl in a certain placeVunnamed, there are twelve things, having soihe certain but undeHcrlbed arrajigement, and let all the world, twelve hundred millions of people, »et themselves to guessing what the twelvethlngs are, and how they are arranged. The well known doctrine of mathematical chances proves that they might all guess for a hun­dred years without solving tho problem. Let ua put it In figures. They would need to gueoa 30,OOOJ000.000,000,000,000,ooo.ooo.ooo.ooo, 000;- (oo.owi.noo.txio.ooo.oco.oahfloo.ooo times, Tha proof is absolute, then, that the parts and

In this way the groups are related to tho signs of tho Zodiac, through which the huh seems to travel during tne coarse of each year. Bnt because thi» rela­tion exist*.

The constellation* apparently move in the precession of the equinoxes, bnt they must preserve their relative order. But our myth- nmkershaveto make these vast groups of star-suns leap over each other both liackwanl and forwnid, It Is impossible that Mo»e*,just ont of Egypt, could make »nch astonishing blunders In copying tho Zodiac. It is «tin more Impossible that the educated priest Eze­kiel, after twenty-five years spent In Babylon, could play such silly havoc with the constel­lations. If the twelve tribes had been prima­rily intended to represent the signs of the Zodiac, then they would havo bath been pre­sented with the same order of hrraugenienl. But If the tribe* weregronps of actual human being», representing a social organic», then their arrangement In 'the wilderness aptly corresponded with their discordant relations ofter settling in Canaan nnder Joshua, In the New Jerusalem these tribes had a widely different order of arrangement from that in the wilderness. For the great city typified a state of society in peifect harmony with the nature of man,

Jackson Files an Exception.To lbs editor or tM'ft'UrLo rMlcwcpUcil JoerOAL

I wish, iri legnhphrasoology, to file an ex­ception to some oxpnMilonB In an editorial Issued on the 23rd of Fob, In speaking of Matthew Arnold, It is said: ITUs measure of Emerson was an effort of tholes« to compre­hend the greater; an effort of an Inductive thinker to weigh and measure the intuitions of a spiritual thinker, which Is Impossible In the nature of things,*!nee the »romaal think­er takes In Induction and deduction and in­spiration, also, white the Inductive thinker cannot ees beyond hi» fragmentary and ex­ternal mood and method."'

There seems to me ho much of essential rad­ical and overwhelming Importance contained In these extracted remark*, that they should be neither lightly uttered nor passed over without earnest question or further explana tlon. The first objection that etroogly pre sente Itself Is the in definiteness of the terms, "spiritual thinker” nnd "Inspiration." These may mean-little or they may mean much.

Induction and deduction are rational pow­er« of the mind already well defined. The phys­ical science« are studied mainly by induc­tion; while J. Stuart Mill say* "Mathemat­ics will eter remain the most perfert typo of the deductive method." But who shall define what is meant by the term, "spiritualthink­er," or who shall tell us of all the sources of Inspiration, or give us a rule for determin­ing the relative reliability of each and every source? 1 * not the human being constituted ns nil Individualized, unitized and balanced organization, endowed with all tlie faculties, emotional, moral, Intuitional, rational nnd spiritual, that are essential toltetrue growth and expansion? These faculties are doubt­less variously developed as respects Individ­uals, but it require* them all to constitute a true generic-specimen of humanity. .It re­quires them gll to completely einhw the human spirit, ami all. UyiroioMTTnliy be con­sidered spiFitmiit--liiumrrfles; and hence nil thinker* wfnTTTrlng to boar, In due measure, of each tho unitized powers of the soul may be termed "spiritual ill1 nkers.” According to the language of your editorial, this can not be the definition of spiritual thinking that i* meant, for it is declared "impossible for an inductive thinker to weigh and meas­ure the Intuitions of a spiritual thinker." The human house must, then, become divided against Itself or otherwise be subject In its acquiring of truth, to some outside dictniu or "thus salth tin; Lord," that admits of no question by the rational power*.

This dilemma Is InevUnble.unless the truth of my position heretofore taken be admitted: that the rational power« of the soul, being themselves a spiritual endowment of the highest, uro tho wearers of the ermine before whom all inspiration» and Intuitions, even, jmiHt come to he attested and adjudged,”

-Highly vitalized and quickened intuitions and Inspiration»may reach out nobly in their efforts to grasp new thoughts; or thereto­fore undiscovered troth, bnt unless, »nch newly announced results hear tho teste of the rational powers, when brought side by side with the facte of experience nnd positive knowledge, tho reaching» forth—the inspira­tions are In vain.

These views, which are and ever have been of most radical Importance to the growth of our race, we are compelled to hold, until some clearer thinker than we have yet ob­served ns appearing In th^JoPllNAL, shall shoy the possibility and-^tonsjstency of tte belug otherwise; and this, not by vague as­sumptions, voluminous word« and terms in­definite; hut by clear and logical statement of premise* and legitimate, fair demonstra­tion.

The safety of the position just restated has been abundantly illustrated, especially In the fields of scientific Investigation, pnd, if true in one line of thought, I nee no reason why it should not be true In all others.

The editorial refers specially to Bro. A.J. Davis a* u «ample of the Intuitional and spir­itual thinker, and it is well and proper to do so. I would by no means wish to detract from the good which hi* many excellent sayings and writings have produced; but I am com­pelled to declare that not one single person of tho several Inspirational or intuitional writers that 1 have read, have failed, when entering upon scientific fields of research, to enunciate, oracularly, the most gross and palpable errors.

What would be your opinion, friend editor, of the "spiritual thinker" who should an­nounce—not modestly as oew ought to when differing with long demonstrated truth—bnt arrogantly—"that the 47th proposition of the first book of Enclld's Element* of Geome­try Is false—that the square of tho hypoth- ennse of a right angle triangle is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two. sides? Would yon not admit at once that tho "Inductive tnd deductive thinker" not only had the power, but the right Rvwelgh and measure the erroneous "intuitions of such spiritual thinker” and to appeal not only to the legitimacy of his long established de­ductions: bnt to the fact that the squaring of every building since the days of Encllrt (2300 years ago) affords a confirmatory illustration of the practical truth of the proposition?

This Is no.impossible or ansappoeable ease, for several of onr "Inspirational or spiritual thinkers'* have attempted to oracularly con­tradict scientific truths as well assured as the forty-seventh proposition of Euclid, For example, more than one of them has pre­sumed to deny the existence of the Mewtoo- tan law of universal gravitation, upon which the beautiful, harmonious and accurate scl- cnee of modern astronomy almost wholly rests; and of the troth of which law every accurately predicted astronomical phenome­non is a clear Illustration and powerful proof.

, Per tbe HMIdaltilhaopblcaJ iaurna*■ Gerald Maasey’s Reply to W n. E. Coleman.

A proper understanding of th» “ last sec­tion" of my work most largely depend on the mastery of all that precedes IL, and on fol­lowing the continuity of the types, Includ­ing both Christ and the Cross, according to the law of evolution. My book itself mast be my permanent reply to Mr. Coleman. Pos* eibly tireHiaiis of new matter which it pre- HotitH, concerning the most hidden orlgines of the Christian cult, may produce a differ­ent Im prison on different minds. All I ask is a deliberate weighing of the new data, for which ( care a thousand fold more than I do for my own dicta. I venture, however, to hint that It i* use lose to go foil tilt against my Inst section, armed merely with the au­thority of the canonical gospels—the latest richaufft of a hundred earlier ones—as a trustworthy document.

I am awuy from my books and notes, but, nevertheless, will Jot down a few remarks in reply to yonr reviewer, as his articles may appear. First of all. I have to notice several misstatements in matters of fact.

Mr. Coleman say», “ity such person as Jesus ever lived;" and this statement he attributes to met I have sufficiently explained that Jesus (in Greek) as Jehoahua, the eon of Fan- dira. was an historic character, who Lu the sole historic Jeeus known to the Jewish writ­ers; the Jesus whom I have carefully distin­guish«! from the mythical or doctrinal Christ of the Gnbetlcs of Faul, and of the Canonical

% ls. Jle further declares, that "no trace us Christ can be found In the world till

the first half of the first century.” Whereas, in the Book of Ksariia (one of the pre-Chris­tian Gospels containing the Secret Wisdom or Gnosis), God. as the father, affirmed that his “Son. Jesus," whom he also calls "my Son Christ," ho “who is now withdrawn from the earth," shall manifest once more or be "re­vealed with those that be with him; and they that remain shall reioico within four hun­dred years.” This book being pre-Christian and prior to the first century, the Jesus Chriit of it must be pre-blstoric or “unhls- torlcal and totally m ythicalaccording to the other data accepted by Mr. Coleman. In this matter of Jesus the Christ, we can not start with the "history" In our Canonical Gospel s.

I need not enter Into further details here, to show the Egyptian origin of Jeans as the Bn,or coming one who. as the Su or Bon, is Sqsu the Greek and Gnostic Jesus, who was the Christ of the Secret Writings, including the book of Euras; this 1 have done in my book. Enough that Jesus the Christ began In a mythical and not In any historical char­acter; and that the conversldn of the one Into the other was at the origin of the Chris­tian cu lt_ It is also unnecessary to point out that the Cbrlit of Paul, who was the "Bock" that led the Hebrew« In their desert wander- luge, was likewise uuhistorical and must have been considerably earlier than the first half of tb t first century! The mythical o r typical Jesus the Christ was first; the hlster- J •(*>!* last.

_j t previous contribution Mr. Coleman had remarked that "If Jeeus was a Bun-God, then the earliest accounts of him should be of a « ia r nature.“ The earliest accounts of him are of a solar nature. If we know where to look for them. Of th ii\fact the eo-called Christian iconography contains absolute proof. The solar disk and'tba.croeabf the four corners (that of the croeslfyi&gi'not the crucifying) constitute Hie Christ during sev­eral centuries of symbolism. The wlarglory and the solar rays worn by the typical Christ as the Insignia of bis divinity, are used ttf determine the solar nature of the God.

I have copied a email figure of the Child

Christ (Nat. Gen., 2, 437) from thn Catacombs, where the original is accompanied by Mary and Elizabeth. The child wears the solar ■link nnd Equinoctial Cross, and In also n por­trait of the risen mTimmy-Chri*d ar the Knrast of Kgypl. ‘‘Primitive Christianity,” says Mr. Coleinab, "knew nothing of JeHU» having been born December twenty’fifth," bin when it became paganized. It borrowed that birthday from mythology. This Is a re­versal of the real process, we are told that as late as the fifth century, Leo the Great was forced to rebuke- the “pestiferous iier- »pasion" of the Christians who were then found to bo, celebrating Christmas day, not for the t»irth of Jesua Christ, but for the resurrection of the sun: a» it had been and continued to be until the alleged historical J bhub had taken the place of the Snn-God In the minds of his worshipers, and the actual origin of equinoctial chrlstolatry was at length superseded by the belief lu a carnal­ized ChriBt, for whom the same birthday was continued / aid <ie mfcur.

Mr. Coleman asks me, "How was it that thlq ram worship of Jesus only began about three hundred years after the Ram-God had been superseded by the Fish-God?" My answer Is that It did not begin at that time or In that way. The celestial records contain the true history; and the Jeaus of Revelation Le the Christ whose type was the ram or lamb; the date« can be'determined astronomically and in no other manner. It Is noticeable, also, thut according to Plutarch, the Mlthralc re­ligion which made so much of the ram or lamb, as a type Interpreted astronomically, was established in Rome about the year sev­enty B. C. I point to this as a link of con­nection in the mode of bringing on. The Roman catacombs* and the Christian icono­graphy will answer for the continuity of the type. The Jamb of God wan conttnned, but not begun In the first century. Those who knew the times changed the types. These were the Gnostics, the inea who depicted Horns as Ichlhys the Fish; the men who knew—the "primitive Christiana” being the men who did not know, but who believed In the historic realization of the pre-Christian mythology, and continued the types, without divining their primnry significance.

My. Coleman says rightly, that if the Chris­tian cult had an astronomical origin. It must have been Ichthyologic, or as he terms it. Ashy. It Is very fishy. The adoption of the fish-type, however, did not preclude the con­tinuity of the ram in the iconography. Be­cause of the fish sign. Horns wastneflah; Bacchus was the fish; the child of Atergatl*, the fish-tailed goddess at Ascalon, wus the fish. The mythical Manifestor being repre­sented by the fiafr, for a reason adequately natural on the astronomical theory; and upon no other, the Christian Jesus Is called Ich- tbya the fish, whilst the primitive Christians were designated Pitcitnli, although not Bfter any human being who manifested as an his­toric firih. , '

The fish, he asserts, was but lU|)e used by the Christians. I refer him to the icono­graphy of the Catacombs; to the Eucharistic fish; to the flsh-monthed Mitre of the Pope; to the IViicfl Pt'fri* of Rome, and to the fish still eaten od Friday! Like the lamb or ram. the typical fish will be continued long after the. equinox passes into the alga of Aquarius. Mythical types persist and have great per­manence.

He also asserts twice over that the Chris­tian iamb (or ram. as it Is likewise rendered In the Catacombs) represented the Paschal lamb of the Hebrews, and not the zodiacal ram. is he not aware, then, of a fact so ele­mentary as that the Hebrew iamb or ram was a zodiacal type, and that the cross upon which it was spitted waa the sign of the crossing? This which he quotes against my view is corroborative of It. Homs was the lamb of God4n Egypt; and the lamb or ram of Sebek-Ra, the Persian Jamb, the Samari­tan lamb, the lamb or ram of the Gaoetlce, hod all one origin in the Kronlan Mythos or celestial Allegory. Mere repetition of any old views previously entertained. 1» not the way to meet my new matter. Nor did I as­sert that the prophecy In our book of Revela­tion must have been written before £,410,B. C.; and Mr. Coleman inquires very gratul- tonsly.‘Tlow could a book first written In the first century, A. D„ be a prophecy of things happening 2.410 B. C.T I deny that such a work was first written in the first century A. D. I show the nature of the subject mat­ter to be identical with tbat In the Persian Bahman Jeukp, the Revelation not written by John. My reviewer has put the cart be­fore the horse, and if they go at all, it must be backwards. 1 show tbat the astronomical data were so ancient that they preceded the entrance of the Vernal Equinox into tbo Sign of Arifis.

It matterk little to me when the "Book of Revelation, as we have it, was written and the mythical matter was last re-applled. I have to do with the nature of the original Revelation which was MJthrale before it was Christian—the mystical and celestial matter, whlcb certain of the Fathers were very shy and suspicions of, and which nearly caused the exclusion of the book from the New Test­ament canon. The original matter waei as­tronomical and mythical. As such It A n be verified and understood. Where is the sense of Mflog me that "Jeeus prophesies to John that he will soon come again and establish the kingdom on e a r th r Or what is the use of such a revelation? Has. that prophecy been fulfilled and to proved the history? Or Is the coming oue that EI-Mahdl now de^_»ta s waitaormarne u d or Leour (-KomiMtal C b rtrtM m ri aiwMOMMO*» » etano wt» sa n e * gat a t (tattmUaotUMOou.

scending from the Soudan? Or did John also write the Jiahttutn -fathp, where the «ime matter may be found? it 1» in Revel* tint) OH everywhere else, the matter of the mythos was continued and converted into history for tin«« who knew little and believ­ed much. The difference between rne and your reviewer here 1» fundamental and pos­sibly absolute. We are not on the same lines. IIo-aMum«* the human history which I deny and try to disprove, whether in the four gos-

1 pels or in the book of RereUtlon. He take» the writings very simply on they stand and quotes them as If undoubtedly historic and original: as If they proved themselves. But I deny the personal history in the Canonical Gospels, and am able to show how It was taken piecemeal from the Mythos and put together as human history. I now ask to have the total evidence weighed tentatively from this new standpoint.

To begin with, the gospel history contains uo historical dates on which to bone Its data.The supposed historic Ilerod died four yearB B. C.! CyreDios or Qnlrinu» was not sent by (’«sar to collact the imperial revenue con­tributed bv the Hebrews until at least six years after (he Christian era! <.That la, where «apposed dates are given they are demon- strnhly unhlstorical. And when the compar­ative method Is searchlngly applied, the al­leged "hlstqrr" revives recognizably Into the matter of the Mythor, wnlch was pre- extant; and which remained the mould of the hlatory from first to last.

Mr. Coleman in common with many others, postulates a "primitive system of Christiani­ty.” for which no evidence can be adduced, because It had ad existence in fact; a ' ‘prim­itive Christianity" supposed to have been founded by a jM?rsonaJ Jesn» and his apostles; a "primitive Christianity" from which gnost­ic* like Marcus, lire ammued to have been backsliders; yie pure personal teachings of which system were perverted by the Church of Rome! My contention 1»lhat no such sys­tem ever existed, but that Rome was the true brlnger-ou of tp* pre-Christian cult, with Its types and symbols and Identifiable body of dogma and doctrine. All that Mr. Coleman asserts respecting Patti and his doc­trine of the flesh and the Jewish law, etc., has been said thousandsof times. It is not new, and I hold that It is not true, or rather tbat it affords no radical explanation. For thaUeason It affords no true Interpretation- of Paul’s position ia relation to the origin of Christianity. My contention 1» that there H*1 was an historical Jesus or Jehoshua, the I witl

not; and as the world never was lost in any such sens# as the ignorant have derived from n fable misinterpreted, why. he could not; there would havi« been no meaning in hi» be­coming snch ft-itsvlnr ol liiankiml from a fall that never occurred! And Paul, who was a master In the Mysteries, an Adept In the Gnosis, could never have mlstakeu the fable for a fact on which to build Ills system of Christology.

I hold that Paul's Christ wa- not the word made flesh, not the ftesh-and-blood Jesus, and hence his repudiation of the min "GeneaLo- glev."* which were employed fiy others to es­tablish the human line of descent. Paul’s Christ could not have been at one and the same time '‘without genealogy." and the sebd of an historical Abraham or of David, In repudiating the Genealogies he is reject­ing the Christ made flesh, who was preached by hi* Christian opponents. 1 repeat that Paul’s doctrine of the resurrection founded on the GnoaiiC and consequently Identifia­ble by the comparative process, is entirely opposed to that which was proclaimed, by Hymenieus aid Phlletus, who taught that the resurrection was past already, In which he says they are In error, amf their word will eat as doth a gangrene. The sole way In which theTesurrectlon could be set forth as already parsed, was the same then as JUnto- dky. namely: the resnrrectlon once for ail of a personal and historical Savior, who there- and then rona from -the dead for the first time and Instituted the resurrection. This Paul absolutely rejects. His own resurrec­tion was not assured by any such means, lie says: "If by any means I may attain Into the resurrect ton of the deadr-not that I have al­ready attained, or am already made perfect (that ts In the Gnostic sense); bpt I press onT' In his endeavor to reach the Christhood of the Gnosis, This statement is made by Paul, not merely by Mr. M«s»ey, Another state­ment that Is contradictory, also ascribed to Pan], is no answer to me. it only Illustrates the double doctrine that demonatratee the double dealing whlcb these writings have undergone.

Also.! fall to see liew-a future resurrection at the second coming of the Lord, even if stated on the authority of the Lord himself, can be cited as evidence that the resurrection had been already established and assured once for all bv the resurrection of any hlstor- ica|Je»iis! Here the resurrection waits for tbs' jnilleuoitim.when the dead are to be rab­

id caught up to meet the Lord and Hre lilm for. evermore. Thu» the resurrec-

real Christ was purely mythical or Ideal, be1- lie Christ of the Gnosis,

S'a rare no. reputed son of Pandlra; and nlsog tlon Was not already pas^M, and cormequent- mythical Christ, the a-tromuujcal or doc1" !y InJniorlality could not be based upon the Annul Manlfpstor. 1 snggeai tbat Paul’s ‘ resurrection of an historical Jesm»,

In making hL quotation* Mr. Coleman go-» careering through these writings trlumph- antly.n* though he possessed theoriglual MRS. of Paul himself; bwt we do not. WrV are fur­ther confronted with the immense fact that the Epistles of Paul were »uKpre**ed qr with­held for more than a century by the conscious founders of the Christian religion in Borne. This would have been impossible If the writ­ings had contained all that we now find ia them, or that can be quoted from them. My contention Is that they were re-issued with the Christ made corporeal and Its consequent doctrine interpolated; and that thee« are lu eoa-tant conflict with the Christ of the Gnosis, who could not be made flesh. All that the quotations from Paul's epistles, cited by Mr. Coleman, go to prove, then, is that these ap­pear in the writing» assigned to Paula* they have been allowed to come down to ue by those who taught the Anti-Pauline dogmas (so I consider It to be)of the Christ made flesh, and damned all disbelievers. But, I am not simple enotigh to Imagine tbat when these writing* had been adopted as Christian and made to conform to the gospel of the carnal­ized Christ, every "plain statement" left on the surface of them was Intended to reveal all that lay lurking In their depths!

The problem of the plotters and forgers In Rome was how to convert the mythical Chria- tology into historic Christianity, and when Panl’s epistles were permitted toemerge from obscurity,what had oeeur/ed was the restora­tion of the carnalized CfcH<lb«"otber Jesus.” who was repudiated by Paul la his own Ufa­time.

In consequence of the length of my work. I was only able to moot this matter of Paul's Christology. leaving the further exploration to tboee who are open to adopt and follow a fresh clue. But i could «how the interpola­tors at work in spite of all their subtleties. They have left that which convicts them of 'alslfylng Paul’s essential Christology. They

- n - r a - .cause If Is one with the ____and the Word or Logo* of Philo.

This typical Christ only conld have been the “Rock” In the-wilderness, This kru* the only Christ that could come In the end of The world, the Age or Jion, because In ot»e chief aspect he was Kronlan and cyclical. Once this doctrine Is bottomed in Paul's writings, the fleshhr Christ-becomes Impossible. The Beshly Christ Is that "other Jesus" whom Paul repudiates. This was the Jesus of Ce­phas, James and John, Him we know as the Christ carnalized, and this Jesus of bis op­ponents and of that other “gospel” was not the Jesus Christ of Paul. The doctrinal ference conld not be obliterated or bridged over. Paul having rejected the “other Jesus,” the historical Jesus, the flesh Jesus of his opponents, Cephas and James, cannot after­ward* be cited a* a witness or testifier to the historic trnth of hi* mineulou* history! it Is trne that there are two voices to be heard contending for th(} supremacy of iwo differ­ent doctrines In Christology all through the Pauline Epistles. I hake brought out one view; Mr, Coleman seen to sustain the other. Both are Inclnded; and my qnotattpns are as correctly made as his. Both cannot be true; both cannot be one at root; both cannot be­long to Paul personally. The Gnostic Christ, by whomsoever set forth, could never be made flesh or become a personal and historic Jesus. This, as I have shown, is Jesus the Christ of Paul, whatever else may now be found in the Epistles.

Paul's Christ wae the one in whom the Pleroma of the Godhead dwelt bodily (Col. 2, fl). This was the Gnostic Jems, called the “perfect star of the Pleroma" of seven pow­ers. and of the seven stars, whose symbol ts the star with eight rays portrayed In the Hindoo, Assyrian -and Roman Iconography. This was a pre-Christian, unhlstorical and entirely mythical Christ existing, ss Pan! Insists, from the beginning. Paul’s Jesus was the * first born from the dead.” like the Egyptian Horn*, This, no hUtorie Jeeus conld bn! The doctrine of the resurrection and the continuity of life beyond the grave did not wait to be demonstrated at an indef­inite date In the first part of the first cen­tury A. D, The Christ who was the firstborn from the dead to Pan), had always been the first-born from the dead ever since the hu­man mind had evolved a type of immortality. That type of an Immortal errol,- attained at laet In the eighth stage of AH the climbing, upward, was called the Karast or Kftst In Egypt—a name of the risen mommy, t£ie original Christ, the anointed, embalmed or Karast (Kg..) dead, eel in heaven as the r&en

tavs left plenty of evidence In the opposite «tatémenla that cannot be reconciled. For Instance, Pani declares that the gospels preached by him was not after man. for he neiltfef received It of man, r« It her was he tsQgsj It. bQt by the revelation of Jesuo Const when It pleased God to reveal, his Sot. In him (Pani). Gal..I, i£ Ifi, YetTn 1, Cor., eh. 6, be Is made (not to hlinD to say that he delivered unto them first of all tbat which be tad received; how that Christ died for car sins aecordlnfi to tlv? Scriptures (whst'Scrip­tures?) and that he was buried, and that he roes again on the third day according to the Scripture*. (1. Cor., ft. 1 4.) But this would be receiving his go«p* of juan; UiU was to be .taught of men the;’ which be ¿aught to

Cl# J* “ ^ * 1 « « « .lag left for an historic person to Ve vasi con­cerning the resurrection (mm the dead in the first century by means of a physical resurrection.

Either an historic Jeer» could beeoms the Christ, as Sartor of tbs world, or be m id

seventeen year» after hjs eonveraloti. Naif accordingTo the Act» of the Apostle* this sec­ond visit must have.bf«n when Paul ahd Bar­nabas went to carry offering* of help to the faithful who suffered during the great famihe known to have occurred in th e , year 44. it. Renan and other writer* a*»nme the Impos- »iblllty’of thi* being Paul’* second visit, 17 yearn after hi* conversion. Yet nothing act­ually »land* in the way of such a possibility, but the assumption. The assumption Is mane chiefly oh the ground that Pant wa* convert­ed by on apparition of the historical Jesus Christ. But in hi* own account of hi* con­version in the condition of trance, Paul him­self say* nothing whatever about »««lug the JjOrd Jesus Christ! It U In the Acts that the apparition is personally identified. Thus ac­cording to the data and the date* derived from the Acts, from Paul’s Epistle and the historic fact of the famine. Paul wa* convert­ed to Christianity in the year 27 of our era! This could not have been by a spiritual man­ifestation of the supposed personal Jeans,who wa» not then dead, nnd had not at that time been re-begotten as the Christ. I repeat that nothing whatever »lands In the way of this being {Aemlhle except the assumption that it l* impossible.

I luivJ proved that the matterof the Canon­ical Gwk>el» Is mainly mythical, and identi­fied it Hm Egyptian My 1 hoe. The Mythical Christ wda, a* surely continued from Egypt a* were theNnytMcat types of the Christ in the C&LactMiliM of Rome. Once this ground is felt to be flrqi underfoot, it embolden* and warrant* us ift cutting the Gordian knot found in the Pauline Epistles. The probabil­ity and almost certainty Is that Jebosbna Ben Pahdira, the Nazaren«. who lived and died a century before the, time of the Christ made historical in the Gospel*, brought the Mytho» and the Logla of the Lord out of . Egypt with him when he returned from that country ** a Mage and an Adept 4n the Mys­teries; aud that the mythical Christ became fused or confused with the historic Jehoshua in the minds of his ignorant and fanatical followers, the twelve “Godless Runagates" of the "Toledoth Jehoshua,” of whom, according to the Book Abadazura. James was one; and that Paul the kuowrr wa* «t war against this Jesti-. who came with lying signs and won­ders a* a Sorcerer; against El* gpspej and hi* followers who wornfiijwd the Christ made flesh. __ ________________

Y„ may be noted as a recent repre­sentative example of a numerous claws of the­ological professors, who are attempting that marvellous feat by craftyjimbiguous phrases, which contain no atatement definite enough to warrant atrial for heresy. When Hr.Curry said confidentially at the ministers’ meeting, that the "Old Testament contains 10.000 old wives* fables, which will dually drop out like tails of tadpoles when no longer needed.” people outside church circle« supposed ho had very seriously damaged hla orthodoxy; but we find, that was fanfrom being the cose In* his own estimation. If he is correctly report­ed In the Chicago Daily S e w of Jan. lOLhJ't consider myself the very pink of orthodoxy," said the Doctor, to Ills interviewer, and gave half a column of dubious explanation, which ended In a conclusion seemingly broad enough to suit the broadest rationalist. Ills summing up was, that the blble with all Its orrora of science, history, philosophy, and grammar, •till contains a revelation from God, (ml ad­mitted that every one by his own reason and “moral Intuitions” must separate the things m ealed from tiling« not revealed; thus plain­ly making man's reason and intuition super­ior to the blble.- This position, which is the very essence of deism. Is according to this high authority of the foremost Evangelical Church in Christendom, now the very "pink” of orthodoxy.

Sorely Darwinism may now boldly hold up Ha bead, for since In our own time« we have seen the rank deism of Thomas Paine develop Into a sweet "pink" of Methodist orthodoxy, our faith need not «lagger at tbe wildest the­ories of evolution; but there Is a sad aspect to this rapid transition from the old to the new basis of religion, which detract« largely from our pleasure at the signs of rellfrfous progress. A very grave moral problem 1« In­volved to this Irrepressible revolution. This searching question, like a ghost, haunts the conscience of all religious teachers In this peculiar crisis Id their calling: Is It a duty or a crime to publicly proclaim the unsettle- lng facts of recent blble criticism, and thus undermine the chertebed*Taltta and well an­chored hopes of the busy, uneducated masses under onr charge?

To the clergyman, e«peci*lJy, does this In­quiry come with startling force: “Shall I preach the ‘whole truth* or elleutty Ignore a

Pu t and apparently assent publicly tv. what privately deem nut rue?" Doubtless a cor-

. rect general answer to most questions of this nature, which Involve the duty of veracity, may be found in the popular maxim, ^peak the truth if the heavens fall;'* but there is another adage. "The truth Js not to bespoken at all times," which is so widely quoted, that It may claim to have been approved by the general moral sense of the world, and hence seems justly entitled to candid consideration In solving this delicate ethical problem, ,By some theories of morals this adage would be condemned as highly Immoral and dangerous; but that profounds*! of all the moral systems, the system which teaches that actions la the abstract,—aside from Choir effects, have no moral quality or character, and are sins or virtues according a« they increase or dimin­ish the general happiness of the world, may throw much needed light on the doubtful path of tin» conscientious minister in Ills present dilemma. No sound moralist calls it a sin (.o toll a fnlsehiHHl ton mad mat», nr to a robber to save his life or money; the ben­efits arising from the deception being clearly in excess of the evil It could cause: the verbal falsehood becomes a virtue and a duty.

The cautious, conservative Pa ley in hla moral philosophy, recognizes the validity of this utilitarian principle. Hypothetical cases can easily be found where the unseasonable performance of a just act may be a serious crime. Though unquestionably a sip to con­tinue an illegal mill-dam for tin hour, yet would It not be a far greater crime to devas­tate the^slley below by a sudden removal,

* even through true repentance? There was much truth In the old argument of the slave­holder, that the Immediate emancipation of the helpless, Ignorant mass of old and young, would cause more misery, aud hence be a greater crime, than to continue the acknowl­edged wrong until they could be gradually fitted for liberty. There is ■ striking analogy between the present Intellectual bondage of tbe churches to medleral creeds, and the bon­dage of the slave«. To emancipate the. peo-

Sle from religious error Is clearly the duty Of lie educated minister; and K Is for him to

conscientiously decide how this dan be done with the least anarchy and suffering. The enthusiastic reformer In hla laudable zeal to advance religious freedom, seems to put far too tow an estimate upon tbe soul anguish of aonaiuve natures when they find the founda­tion* of their religion giving way beneath them. The giant intellect of Hugh MUter could not bearthr fearful strain of a transi­tion from Scotch Calvinism to a scientific faith. Hla noble brain was ruined In his mighty effort to recouctle “The mistake« of Mo m * with the "Testimony of the rocks."

Early impressions,especially religious ones, become a permanent part of us. and cannot be exorcised at will. The child frightened by nursery tales will forever be thinking of hobgoblins In the dark. Madam Be Steel when asked If she believed in gboets, said, “Ktk but I am afraid of them." , An enlight­ened mpnk of Luther’s time, long bitterly wept over the loss of his anthropomorphous con­ception of the Deity, The idolater clings in wflit frenzy to hla material tangible god; and tbe Christian In sorrow and dismay ask» the fldenteat, “What are you going to give us In place of the blble?" Considering the min­ister'« duty la this perplexing crisis, we be­lieve a comprehensive moralist wonld say.

"Do not desert the pulpit and leave the flock without a shepherd, but tenderly uud skillful­ly prepare the people for self-reliant religious freedom." A Judicious mechanic, building a new foundation, does not recklessly tear sway the nasonud supports until he has placed stronger ones healdo them; and this seems the only right course-for the pulpit to take In Us present dilemma. The doctrine of Infalli­ble scripture being no longer tenable In read lug churches, the pressing need of to-day 1« to Und a reliable substitute for Its explicit printed pages. The task of finding each if substitute would now be far less, had not the church been so Jong taught to look into a book Instead of their beads and hearts for revelation, and to regard human reason and Intuition a "delusion alul a snare." The first step In providing this new basis of faith, Is to restore to men their confidence and self- respect. The demoralizing dogma of human depravity has so persistently been preached th&Vxioet ufrn in ChristendouPdiavetome to regard with distrust the révélations of- con­science and the moral senses, Let the Chris­tian ministers speedily and firmly plant them­selves upon the docteurs of Jesus, and say to men as their master didj—jJudge ye your­selves what Is right," anOrwu the common, heaven-born Intuitions of humanity will agree upon a moral code that will be accept­ed upon its own authority, without supernut-' urnl proofs, wherever ft comes in contact with a natural human heart.

Throe simple article« contain the life and substance of all the ponderous systems of re­ligion; A" belief In God, lu retribution for sin, anil In a future life. The belief lu God reste upon uo book; it will remain while men hove reason and the univers*» stands. Retrib­ution for sin 1« revealed iu all human exper­ience and recorded upon every page of histo­ry, anil as science demonstrates the harmony of the universe, the unity of the divine plan, and the uniformity of nature’s laws, analogy

Ïtroves that tbe same unvarying, righteous aw« that govern hero ami now will continue

to govern every where and forever. The doc­trine of a future life need not suffer by the decline of confidence In the blble, for the Old Testament uo where directly teaches it; the metaphysical and philosophical arguments for immortality attll prove all they ever prov­ed; the New Testament evidences, based upon the resurrection of Christ, stand just where they huvi- always Blood and mu et at ways stand, upon their historical proofs. No fact needs Inspiration to confirm or record it; H must be believed upon human testimony ; but though the historical account of the resurroc- ion Is uot convincing to many acute legal minds, yet It seems juelly entitled to great weight among the evidences; but a minister can to-day fortify the old standard proofs of immortality by the testimony of thousand* of living witnesses who will testify that the gates of death are still ajar, and that Immor­tals can return to show arrogant materialism that "‘death does not end all.'' Should onr venerable volume of ancient Jewish Litera­ture become obsolete ns divine revelation, we ueed not despair, for all lte moral truths can he reproduced from resource« Inherent la hu­man nature.

“ ANTHOOD VERSUS MANHOOD."

A Critic Criticised.To tlw> Z iltar of Lb* KelUtto- HOkMctiUal JanfflKl [

I admire excellence; and when I read* the article of George Chapman, criticising Mr. Dawbarn's admirable lecture on "Anthood versos Manhood,” I felt that an amount of ex­cellence1 In the lino of monumental egotism, not often met with, had certainly been attain­ed. Loslog not a moment In hesitation or courteous formality, thocrltlq sets out with the broad assertion, that in Mr. Dawbarn's article, “many very untruthful and irrational positions are assumed;" followed by the coarse dictum that would befit a knot of pot- house brawlers :*"And It reqdlrerqtudy to'de­termine whether the lecturer was^ making a fool of himself, or trying to make «.fool of somebody else.” \

With all due deference to the wonderful flow of self-conceit running all through the article, we beg leave to suggest, that when a man charges another with belag untruthful, the commonest sense of d/cenc; would seem to require at least some show of proof to back up the assertion. Is any given by this self- appelntod critic? Not one Iota from begin­ning to end. K is a constant repetition of— “it is to be supposed lie esteems himself;" “it Avould Boem that he- Is endeavoring;“ "his fundamental position seems to be;” "he seems □ot to have been able to discover,” etc.; ad BMíil». ad nauseam. As to the Ill-bred stig­ma of “fool" let us place it against another estimate of Mr. Dawbarn, by one who has bad opportunity, for better summing up of hte nullity. Rays Mr. V, C. Bowen, in the ad­joining column to that of oar critic: "He (Mr. Dawbarn) la a profound thinker, an acute ob­server, an accomplished orator, and the sub­ject matter of his lectures Is very instructive and intensely Interesting.”

This would sbem to settle the "fool" part qf the question.’

Following the critic's peculiar style of ar­gument, the rule ot which is contained In the closing paragraph in these words—"From the beginning of the lecture It became very ap­parent that he is now basking in the son* shine of atheUm.and’bas thereby escaped the dark shadow of a personal G od/ we suggest that the writer Is himself floundering In the- slough of bigotry and theological intolerance, and has thereby eecaped the clear light of honest search after troth. He does not seem to understand that each dogmatic theologian seta up a God after the' pattern - of his own “Interior.* Henry Ward Beecher, (no mean authority) recently asserted that every church

design« a special God of lie own; and If,.ns our critic asserts, “a large ant for a deity, would suit Mr.,Dnwbaru‘s views a« well as n perfected spirit,"-we would strongly com­mend hi« choice in thin much; that if the God In question la to be the standard personal be­ing commonly worshiped -given to implaca­ble,never-endlug hatred and lovenge.vaclllat- Ingof purpose, weak and changeable, and demanding unuseating fulsonionep» of cring­ing praise f[om his worshipers, & God after the nut pattern would be very much more de­sirable.

Now let us examine a few of the negations our critic puts forth against the lecturer's positions. The fundamental point assdmed in the lecture was, that ante, as reasoning animate, are In many respects the eqhal or tnntj, and In boujo even superior; and If one puts himself forth as a public teacher In dis­sent, would II not appear us If the right thing to do would be to disprove it by honest argu­ment? But Mr. Chapman does not ««cm to care for that sort of common-sense plan of action. He 1h evidently too enamored of self with the “Big. I” style of swelling up and puffing an opponent out of sight. So he wan­ders off into much IrreieTnnt'.lalkaboutman's spiritual nature, and hi« Interior excellence over mere reason. In myvpretty long exper­ience I have frequently found, that wnere ex­traordinary superiority Is claimed on the strength or Interior excellence«, the said ex­cellences are so deeply buried la the Interior as to show up exceedingly thin on the onter surface! The best proof of good quality lies la the results that flow from It, To my hum* blo thinking, if nu Atheist is a good man In all the relations of hi« ivory-day humanity, he is of vastly more value than one who is Intolerant, bigoted, uncharitable and given to vain-glorious boast In g.no matter how much spirituality he may have bottled up iu his In­terior. A man of some weight once «aid that n “tree Is known by it» fruits." Tested by tbls, let us see to what purpose this spiritual in­terior, In the Una of taking rank above man'» reason, consists, and how It compares with the result« attained by different member« of the animal kingdom. '

First, we wlllstep a little down in the scale of animals from the high grade of ants, and see If we cannot discover some evidences of those qualities that give to a human his high­est claim to commendation. Come with me. Mr. Chapman, into my Jlltlo poultry yard, where In summer yon shall see a hen feed her chicks. Observe, that not one bite will she eat, no matter how hungry, uutil the whole brood liavo been satisfied. From all danger she protects them at the hazard of hier life, and shields them from rain, storm aud the fierce sunshine, quite heedless bow much she may herself saner In consequence. Can any human mother, with all her Interior attainments, act out more sublime unselfish­ness than this? If the human mother chances to be more than usually spiritualized after the sstablishod theologies, she might, per­chance, be expected to attain to such super­ior excellence of Interior uh would give the calm assurance of eternal bliss, albeit with chances strongly in favor of eternal torments for one or more of her behind children. To return to the poultry. Do you mark ttfltt rooster? He is In the very" prime of good health, with the keen appetite) that belongs to it, and yet observe: the moment he fulls Into a morsel of extra toothitomeness, he holds it up In hi« bill and calls for the heps to come and enjoy it. Do you often meet .with men, oven among those possessed of the greatest amount of so-called interior spiritual excel­lence. given to this sort of self-denial? 1« It

.not the rather, that« large preponderance of human*, in such cases, prefer to act the part of greedy swine, -trite the Ixvt «hereto theui- selves? Even the little sparrows that come hopping Into the snowy yard lu winter, set an example of brotherly love and unselfish­ness that might well be followed by the very best of men. Throw down &%rust to a »Ingle Hlrny bird, and he will Instantly fly off to. give the glad tidings of food supply to as many hungry one« as lie can find, that all to* getbor'fimy enjoy the feast. This is not much after the style of men hoarding up grain by millions on millions of bushels to force up the price It will cost the whole nation to eat, while thousands of men, women aud children are literally half-starving.

And I venture to a»!; of you, Mr. Chapman, In what does man’s superiority consist, if,with all his boasted spiritual Interior, he doe» not attain to finch brotherly sympathy and hu­mane affecUon as (» hero shown by the»e humble birds? Yon trot out the assertion, that some sort of Interior qpaTIty,outside of mere reason fits man foT ejorual life, with all the assurance of axiomatic authority; but in reality does it? Would It be invidious to In­quire, whether it might not be better to keep nearer to onr finite line of vision, and see In what It makes him more worthy of in hi» present life? fit was shown In Mr. Dawbarn's lecture, that the highest grades of ants lived together In large colonies, and ruled their conduct by each wise laws or understood reg­ulations as secured the most admirable order,

S and enjoyment. There was universal ry, temperate living, total absence of

drunkards, loafers, Criminals and mischiev­ous aelf-nppoLnted teacher«, and crowning excellence of all, »uch lack of selfish greed, that each worked for the good of all, and not in gormandising monopoly of huge pooaes- slon» beyond the power to enjoy, wrung from hundred« and thousands of weaker brethren, thereby left to the misery and Buffering of stinted deprivation. With nil man’s boosted Christian civilization. Interior splrUnality and belief In a personal God, has ho anything to show at all comparable to tbla? in hla grand march of civilized progress, of whleh press and pulpit ring out so much of trump­et praise, what ran he exhibit os the product of that peculiar interfor excellence-which mokes him worthy of eternal life? We see one man ceaselessly etTugoJIng to attali} greater means of selfish personal enjoyment than his brethren, heedless how vast may be the num­ber who fall by the way and are crushed to beggary and crime In consequence. A com- petlttonso brutal.heart-hardening, inhuman and soul-destroying, that It fill» the world with greedy thirst for wealth and lust,tyran­nical power, corruption in government, dis­honesty and gambling la buslneS«. cant and hypocrisy in religion, strife, enmity and al­most universal oppression of tbe weak by the strong. His highest water mark of civiliza­tion swarms with jails, work houses and pen­itentiaries; reckless extravagance in church­es and private dwellings of the greedy few. while the groat mass of tbe people are steeped In ignorance, want and tha steadily growing gripe of poverty.

Anything of this In the ant kingdom? Not an idle tramp, not a millionaire, not one hog- like greedy corporation, ehwk-by-jowl with thousands of naked, half-starved, tollers out of work and needing food. No signs of vel- vet-linsd, costly built temple« of worahlp,witb extravagantly salaried divines preaching smoothly-spoken platitudes, Jo gem robedM- tenars, while all about them are men, wom­en and helpless children by tin »sands, reek­ing In filthy, fever-breeding tenement room»

—ex tortious toly rented rooms In large part owned by those claiming to be full of the In­terior excellences that would Insure thorn a life of eternal bliss.

But, says our crltie. In hi« sneering egotis­tical manner: “ It 1« to be supposed that ho” (Mr. Dawbarn) "esteem« himself equal to the average human, and that lie has examined himself ns a mental and spiritual being most thoroughly; and that he ha» not hitherto been able to delect in himself anything, »oclally, intellectually or spiritually »uperfor to the fighting black ant, or boiub of its kindred races, if this be so, and there 1» rently noth­ing iu hla aspirations or Intellectual or moral endeavor» superior to the fighting black ant, he must be permitted to entertain such hum­ble opinions of his capacity and Attainment» until by some menu« lie can be caused to ob­tain more Interior perception of that natnie, and of those Incident faculties pertaining to the human spirit, which give« true character, and makes the Individual worthy of eternal life."

For pity’s «Hie, what doe« the gentleman mean? Suppose We put It this way; It 1« to bo supposed th« crltie esteem» himself va»tly superior to tho aVutflge human, and that he ho« swelled himself on very much after the style of tho fabled frogriwost thoroughly ¡and1 that ho ha« not hitherto te n a b le to detect In himself anything, menially, eikdully or splr- Dually, that could give him an -Interior un­derstanding of the excellence of humility. If this be so, and there la really nothing in his aspiration« or Intellectual or moral endeavor« superior tt» a man of expanding soft-conceit and »gotten», it might be well to refer him to that pertinent couplet of the poet Borns—

“O would aom« power the ctttte nie u*t To mg our*el?es iu oUien »«e utt"In conclusion, I make bold to repeat Mr.

Dawburn’« question: “lu wbnt does man’« boasted superiority consist?

w Review.

Again Flavius Josephus Cook cornea to the front in a aeries or "Monday Lecture«." He Introduces a now feature, for he allows ques­tions to be written and placed on his desk. He read« and answers these before the Jec- lure,off band. Of tbs ten answered at hi» first appearance, It la wonderful how much Joseph Cook they contain. It’s a nice dodge to ex­temporize answers to profound question», ap­parently sprung suddenly. The promptness of Mr. Cook with hla answers, would do cred­it to a trauce medium. He ought to follow further that lead, and allow hla audience to select the subject for hlB lecture, for surely a miro so universal In bis knowledge that he can answer a dozen questioneoff hand on any and every subject proposed, ought to be able to epenk on one! If the scheme Is to continue, the questions should bo “readjusted" eq^aa not to b« so transparently “Cooky."__y

The prelude was on eulogUrm-irtr Wendell Phillip«, 8tratfgs-«Tot-wKile alive, and en­gaged In the great work of bU life, the pul­pits were closed against him, and he was de­nounced a« at» Infido!, and justly, for no man ever hurled more bitter Invective against the church than be, amt now from every sacred desk ascends nothing but praise of hi» great and noble character! The lecture itself 1« brief, its subject being, "Do we need a new theology?" lie answers the conundrum which at present Is puzzling the theologian» more than the celebrated “15," by an unqualified ye», and gives »lxteen reason« therefore. As usual with him when he attempts to classify, most of these are only distinction» in name, but in two of them he states the kernel ofthe whole matter. “The universal demand for the application of tbe scientific method of defini­tion and induction to all topic», however sacred.” "The alleged existence of modern -evidence of the supernatural;” and because '"tbtMvdrk most needed In the church nt large to-day la tho Christfanizatlou of Christian- Ity."

This Is admitting a great deal. If Chris­tianity Is not GhrlutlauJzed after 1800 year», what poor chance the world has! it has wait­ed for the developments In science, and the coming of the "modern evidence of the super­natural;" iu other word« Spiritualism! We must have a theology, if satisfactory to the demands of the age, as wide a« the capabili­ties of the human mind, and profound as the depth» of the universe. The theology of the Eugliah speaking race wilt become the theol­ogy of tip world. i

When tho speaker reaches the close he finds that: "It i« the business of both philosophy and theology as of all life In the spirit to

-echo God." lie finds no theology of the ptes- erit answering thi« test, and asks to defiant manner, "if we cannot flad one, can we in­vent one?" evidently meaning that Joseph Cook Ib able to Invent several theologies. If demanded. The meaning of the phrase to “echo God,"ia as clear as most of the"science" of this pulpit Galiah- It may mean much, little or nothing at all.

But Joseph Cook Is sensitive to the coming tide of thought, and theieln lies the secret of his success, A smatterer and blunderer in any attempt In. science, an egotist beyond parallel, nauseating In self-adniatlon. yet be reel« the fore« of the new thoughts of tbe world and sandwiches their expression more or Jess happily into his argument. The pow­er of science and Spiritualism he clearly dis­cerns will force the old religious systems in­to the background, and frames new on «.That new one may or may not be an“echoof God,” but this we do know, It will be aipbebo—that is, an embodiment of man in tbe fall expres­sion of aU his possibilities.

[N Rxvnrw.Mr. Underwood must have struck eome hard

blows In tbe West, to have reduced the editor­ials,of the Xirmw Tribune to ouch senseless driver The editor listen Underwood a little more than any other Infidel. He says: m

"We coùfets to an intense and perhaps a bigoted opposition to inQdel lecture». All tho most cultured of them have learned that they know »iothlng at a ll .,.. .The»*» apostle« of uarnst are far behind the clergy la One- respect. At their best they can only bring oaq to uubellef and doubt. The clergy have brought people te belief and peace. The thrumming ever of the worn string« of a battered instrument, the weary repetition of the old half-known facte, the chatter about Christian persecution, the j^tty littleness about Darwin (who was a member of the Church of England), the prostitution of set- ence and the glib «ail of the roll of scientific names, are of a s nr face character and mean nothing."

Now, this sounds like a papal bull, bat really Is from the broad West, and shows that even there, Ideas may become - very narrow. The declaration that the clergy have brought the people to belief and peace, in the. face of The patent fact that the world is foil of 0ottbt. doubt triumphant everywhere, and nations stan(Hag armed to the teeth. I* cer­tainly rich. To charge adontiate, like Un- Garwood, with "thrumming" ”a battered In-

The clergy at their best have brought thn world to unbelief and doubt, and are responsible for the state the eaplent editor bo pitiably deplores.

The editor «tumbles against a truth and Inadvertently give« It expression, aud thinks Mr. Underwood ought to know that: "Pure science doe« not bother Itself with Christian­ity, and cares nothing for Its consistencies or Its InconaJatencies, or its contradiction»." Precisely so; and further, when mankind he* come cultured, they will ears even Jess, This wonderful editorial, which Is unique for lte shallow proteuHe and bigoted egotism, con­cludes with tho following remnrkable sen­tence: ,

"We are oafs In advancing th« general proposition that the only rnnu who lias an interest in having hell abolished, is the man who ha« inoHt reason to fear hell."

WOMAN’S WoilK.The following tytceJIenl sense Is from the

pen of Jemiy .1 nnl, in the World;“The girl of the period 1« in demand if she

only know« how to work. If eye« and. hand have beeiKtraiued so that they cah perform their functions skillfully. There is a scarci­ty of sober, skillful, persistent workers la al­most every branch of trad« and handicraft, and men who employ workers and uto de­pendent upon them for the carrying opt of designs, are beginning to look for women to atipply the lack of xealDus aud earnest work­men who love their work. A girl who knows what uhe wants aud has patience. Industry and perseverance, can now achieve it, let it be what It will, that can bo achieved by per­sonal effort. Women are wanted with me­chanical and constructive faculty, wllh an eye for color and form, .wllh less of the uni­versal genius that expands Itself In the mul­tiform trades of the housekeeper and more of special aptitude and training for the doing of paying work. The beautiful new glass- work opens a field which ought tb furnish opportunities for wpmen as well a i men. It to an art easily acquired and Immediately remunerative. Men can have bad little ex­perience in it, because it has been so recent­ly Introduced, and their saperior mechanic«)

.facility, which goes, perhaps, no further than

Clndow glaring, could Boon be matched by actice and more than balanced by a truer

eye for eolor—a faculty which most women possess In a higher degree than men, because It has been cultivated, and by the possession of a Oner artistic sense.

DBA WING AND ENr.lNEKTlfNG." For theacquirement of mechanical draw­

ing. leading np to electrical and constructive cj El jjt peering and arc hi tec tart*, there are now excellent opportunities for young women who wish to make a serious bos] ness of either of these high and honorable pursuits, in Which there Is no sex and whlph offer the same emoluments to women as tómen If pur­sued With the same stead fastness and deter­mination. A lady, disgusted with the work of gn ignorant, drunken plumber, the other dayv went to the proprietor of the shop from which he came and asked for a better work­man. ‘iMadam.” he said, " I have no better; good workmen are not to be had. I know how work should be done, but I can not get men to do It." " Get women/' said the lady." I will If you can find the women." retorted the plumber, "and fix it so that my men shall not find it (Jut; for If they did {bey would leave me."

A KITCHEN UNION." Why do not women cooks form a trades-

union, and women dressmakers,,nnd prevept men from entering these employments? What ij^anee for the goose should.be «anco for the gander, too. The difficulty Is that women lack not only training but urg-Liii/ .: n : ¡. and they hare nut learned that one, numerically weak.

place and position. The argument with men, and iiii> largely Justified by experience hith­erto, Is that women are only strong through tlielr affections; that on occasions and In or­der to save or assist some one dearly loved, they perform nci« of which at other times they would be totally incapable. But thl* L« nil rubbish. Both men and women‘cun 1«; heroic In moment« of supreme exultation, but It 1« only when a man breaks rinWu lu steering a ship or in accomplishing any oth­er piece of active and necessary paid work that ho is willing the woman should try hro hand, and If fihe succeed« the fu-w that be makes about it 1« «« much a tribute to his acknowledged superiority a«*to her skill.

ONE WOMAN.I have myself seen a man fall, give up hi«

business Jn despair, arid go abroad, leaving his wife with the business embarrassed by debts nuri failure, and four young children to care for In hi« itb-»-nce. 1 l«i- HttM w.uiian, less than five fppt high, weighing about one hundred pounds, had previously lived a strict­ly domestic life, asking her husband for eve­ry dollar as It wa« needed for household sup­plies, never receiving a cent that she was not obliged to account to him for—he entertain­ing the formerly common idea that women do-not know how to spend or take care of money. 'Yet this woman during the year of hi« absence disentangled his business affairs, paid off part of hi« nebts, re-established his credit, kept her house on the most economical basis, and when he returned placed the re­sult« of her labor in Ills hands, proud and happy In being abjn hi dosn, fell back into the old place,find wlHit he believed,unstrung 1« the influence of habit and prejudiced opin­ion, that lie soon began treating her ay be­fore. taking possession of all funds arid call­ing her to account for the most (Titling ex­penditures. Haldt and custom, tradition and prejudice repress women Infinitely more than nffecllon Inspires them, mid the force, flic intelligence, the skill, the quickness, the In­sight which would be an valuable If put to proper u«e are hwViotite world.

•Mrs. Mary Miller 1« not an exceptional wo­man, but she Is a handsome and well educa­ted one, She is of Southern "blue" blood, has a rich soprano voice and play« and sings charmingly. The habit of command is nat­ural to her although she la possessed of the finest, mont attractive manner«. She Is very witty and interesting In conversation and tasteful in dress, though very quiet and re­fined; wears No. 3 shoes and Nn.fl gloves, and is one of those, so «ays a friend who knows her well. * who can walk through the hardest- and darkest place« without soiling her gar­ment«/

There are many women like this who arc wasted upon " society who wearily go through a routine which Is sickening to soul ami body, and can not do otherwise because the invisible wait« which «rebuilt up around them forbid it. There is not much to be done for the women of to-day, bnt there is every thing to be hoped for the young girl« if they are only released from conventional bondage nud encouraged to cultivate and apply iheir faculties to somensefnl and needed purpose— stop decorating the buttor-tub aud nmke the bntter. _

THE ABSENCE OF DESIGN IN NATURE A Lec­ture delivered before the Fhlloaopblcai Society of Chicago, November ‘¿Uh, 1KKL By Prof. if. D. Garrison. Chicago: Max .Stern A Co. 1881. Price 10 cento.Tba typographical nuke up U very good, and

Now we understand the question at issue to be: Is there con­clusive evidence of design In Nature or Is there not? The query is not. who or what designed natural laws, forms, prnoew*: or whether the designer, it­self or himself, was designed by some Intelligence still farther lock sod more origin»!. That Is a pro- poslUoir further tmr-«id very possibly beyond our limited powers. Neither U it niwdfu) we should at present demonstrate !L There is no practical issue therein. Nature os a Whole is a pretty Proud fact to which we appear to be lied, and there V enough in It to keep us all enraged, heads and bands, without trying to get behind the scenes too far, where we have do put, and where the tools of ohr trade will not operata, I_tell you “there are mountains all the

We have often seen such silts, bnt never saw them evolve into an ear. But suppose they did, on some mamma cat ages ago (you know it 1* much easier to believe ■ thing mat happened ages ago), bow came the mamma cat to transfer it to the kittens? Ah! there le the rub. Some intel­ligence la nature must have organ lied a hidden law whereby the spiritual germ takes I a lb« essence of reproduction and forças “like lo beget Ilka”

You think, Mr. Professor, that the art of the opti­cian has got ahead of nature In her planning of tbs human eye. 1 opine a mote critical comparison would disprove even this, and 1 feel very sore it will be a long time before human art will plant uuder- ctandinglj in the embryos of either plants or ani­mals, new spiritual forces that will enntlnue lo pro­duce material forms according lo our thought or finer.

P i t t , Present, Future.

Vwitb this number of tho Journal begin* the eighth year of ltd existence under the present management. Progressive yet oon- narrative, aggressive yet cautions. Iconoclast­ic yet constructive, has the Journal always been; fearless In pursuit of truth; independ­ent In all things, neutral in nothing; always having opinions of its own and ever ready to express them, and to back litem up with an incontrovertible array of evidence. Ever ready and eager to defend the oppressed, encourage merit, stimulate honest mediumshlp, and fair and free investigation, baa the paper been fr^m Its first Ib.hu» In 1805. That such a paper should have its ardent friends and bitter enemies was inevitable. To conduct a publication in the interests of a Cause in­volving so many complex and tittle under­stood problems and having such a heterogene­ous following. Is no easy task even where a well Bottled policy of neutrality on moot questions is pursued. How much more dif­ficult the task, then, for the .conductor of such a paper as the RELlGio-PdiLOeouiHofr, J ournal.

It would be superfluous to here epitomise the history of the paper, for It is fresh In the minds of moat readers; its mark can be rec­ognized on every page of the history of Spir­itualism during the past nineteen years. Tlune who know its record can forecast its future coarse and rest certain that tho paper will ever by found voicing the clearest thought and latest discoveries in Its special field; ready to grapple with every now emergency; giving stalwart aid to the worthy; aiding in ail humanitarian and philanthropic reforms. The betterment of man during talsearth-Ufe, as a preparation for the life to cotne, will continue tho leading atm of the J ournal; and In this is, of course, Involved tho stu­pendous subject of spirit comm union and manifestation In ail its multiform phases., Thh edtior-ln-chlef and proprietor, with a heart too full of gratitude for adequate utter- hncfr, acknowledges his deep obligations for assistance rendered by bis co-workers on both sides of jlfe, Were it practicable aDd space permitted he would like to mention by name the long, long roll of writers, mediums and lecturers who have ably and warmly assisted In making tho Journal a mighty instrument In the bauds of the Spirit-world for working out beneficent plans In the interests of man.

- He takes this opportunity to «Incerely dis­claim all thought of appropriating to himself the honor of effecting the salutary reforms in the movement which were bo easeutial to permanent constructive work. Circumstances

' placed him in a more conspicuous position than some who were working with him, but the credit for the work done Lb not his; It is the common property of all faithful menfnd women who have aided to tho beat of their ability la Ito accomplishment. Had he not been bt the front nome other and more able one would, and were he to pass from tbla life ■a suddenly an did his lamented predecessor, the gap would be Instantly filled and the work go on with increasing activity and effective­ness; for behind it all are ever-aetlre, never- dying principles stirring the hearts and la- Bpirlng tho Intellect* of millions In earth and spirit life. Men may corns and men may go, bat the car ot pcograas will more ateadlly on- war d and np ward.

Id last week's Issue and in this are publish­

ed commendatory word» from such reprosen tlve men hh Andrew Jackson Davis. (Hies B. Btcbblus, Hudson Tuttle, Hr. Eugene Crowell, and D. I). Home,than whom none stand high­er or arc more competent judges. Grateful and encouraging to him as are these and oth­er spontaneous utterances of nobis writers and mediums, their value, to the world, lies not In the eulogistic words bestowed upon the editor, but iu that they record progress of tho great body of Spiritualists, and a vast Im­provement in ail that pertains to Spiritual­ism; and this is the reason of their publica­tion; such .evidence carries inspiration to the heart of every subscriber, and arouses all to renewed activity in the good work.

Nearly six years ago there appeared In the J ournal on editorial which it seems well to reproduce aWlils tline in order to assist the leader In taking a retrospective view of these eventful years:

medloni anil inspirational speaker writes us that When solid ling sub­scribers for tho J o u r N itrlie is sometimes met by tho inquiry: "la tho editor a Spirits uailsti" We hardly think any regular sub­scriber or careful reader bos tuo least doubt on that subject. The editorial page of every Ishuc contains an afiirniatlve answer to the question. The editor of the J o u r n a l Is a firm and steadfast Spiritualist, the assernons of psqndo mediums ami their dupes to the con­trary notwithstanding.

He has suhlimo confidence in a future life and in spirit communion. This confidence Is based upon absolute knowledge of spirit phenomena ¿Possessed of this certain know!- edgeJie Is enabled to look calmly aud serene­ly upon tho downfall of the huge superstruc­ture of Qctlnn which Iiiih been reared by Ille­gitimate speculators In Spiritualism and big­oted ex-church members, who have not out­grown the blind superstition of their early training.

Spirits, who, wh£U on earth, were reckoned among tho wisest of men, have the Relhiio- Philosophical Journal In charge, and the editor believes every Issue of the paper Is carefully scrutinized by them before publi­cation. -These spirits nave for many years been preparing the editor fof the work they have for him to do. Years ago they told him clearly and with grent minuteness of detail what waa before him, and lie has been an humble, earnest co-worker with them; never surrendering his own judgment, but always acting up to his highest reason after due consultation and advice.

The ItELiaio-PHiLosopuiCAL Journal Is rapidly rendering it more aud more difficult for the horde of vampires who infest the ranks of Spiritualism to palm off their wares upon the public; for this; the editor must, of course expect, and he Is prepared to receive, tholr, moat bitter maledictions. Not being able to find a soiled spot In Ills public or private life, after the most careful scrutiny, the only re­source of these peats is to traduce his motives and declare he is not a Spiritualist. To off­set this class, the Relii.i&.I’bilosophical J ournal has a large and constantly Increas­ing list of highly intelligent subscribers, and tho editor has tho very great honor and plea­sure of possessing the entire confidence and warm personal friendship of very many of the representative men and women in the ranks of Spiritualism,

In tho same mall which brought, the letter spoken of at the commencement, there came a Bhort message from one of the most gifted authors and Spiritual lots,—a man whose name la familiar to millions, and whose memory will be revered by millions yet un­born. Speaking as one having authority he flays: *

by arraying before the world tbe life and character of many iiiilllonB of men and wom­en, who are bis peer«,if not hfssuperiors; and now It t« justice for tin to demand: What kind of a man is thin who brings such whole­sale charges? He ts professor of theology la Heidelberg College, and it was a pet student of his who murdered Mlsa Barnard; certainly

.not a glorious illustration of the saving pow­er of Christianity, except as it step ped in and by the insanity dodge, saved the murder­er from the gallows. For reasons best un­derstood by his congregation and thelrRb- ccptance of Spiritualism, lie has lost eleven members of his church, and these are of tbe most wealthy and intelligent. Thin has been, of course, aggravating to the preacher and ■ Inflamed Ills bad blood. Safely hedged In by his pulpit he thought himself above reply or gainsaying. In this he Is mistaken, for tbe RELKiio-PiHLOftoPHiCAL J o u r n a l circulates everywhere, aud its readers keep posted in regard to euch men, who not only defame tho cause of Spiritualism, but ai^l nothing to tho side to which they proclaim allegiance. If ho wishes to discuss Spiritualism from the stand-point of a pure life, mothllig would please us more than to accept tho challenge.

{ou are engaged is 'the Qoodftgk? and I have ull faith in your just victory; it will, how*

ever.take much time and tmpoee severe trials. But You Mubt Go Forward!" .

Go ftp-ward ho will and in time hopes and believes that many good people who now fall to understand hint. Or honestly oppose him, wilt be numbered among hi* most steadfast friend*. In conclusion ho requests that Bub- serJbers will confront with thtentotement tlioso who, honestly or otherwise, assort that the editor Í* not a Spiritualist,

The prominent medium, spoken of above was E. V. Wilson, who though now with "the majority" lu spirit life Ib etlll doiug a great work on earth through his daughter’s tuedi- urnshlp.

Tho Fallibility of Clrcamirtaatial Evidence.

Had the death penalty boetr enforced, the State of Iowa would have taken the llfo of nn innocent man and thus committed a most heinous crime. As. it is, she has,robbed an Innocent citizen of tils fair name, aud of sev­eral years of life which she forced him to waste inside tho walls of a penitentiary. Fintii Allen was accused of murdering his aged employer, and tho wife of the latter was forced by circumstances to testify against him. This story of wrong jlionld be a warning to those who desire to preserve the Integrity of witnesses, and prevent thwtrlals In courts from becoming nhnplo farce*. For several, months af^er the death of his employer, who waa found behind the lioela of a vicious horse in the «table, terribly bruised by what wan taken by witneaaea aa kicks, no one doubted tho Innocence of Allen. It then became of Interest to the heirs to get him and their mother out of the way. They accused him of the crime, and a Mormon Elder conveni­ently had a vision, wherein te saw the mur­dered man, who told him all about.the deed aud attending circumstances. The accused were thrown Into jail, and^fee'hejrs then so wrought on the mind ofrth/woman, that she confessed, Before the grand jury the Mor- mpn Elder told her "to look him squarely in the eye," and he bo completely mesmerized her thnt she repeated the story ho desired her lo.convictlng Allen of the deed. This was in 1879, and Allen was Rente nets) to the peni­tentiary for life. Facts have come recently to light completely proving his Inuocence, and he has been pardoned. A more unjust prosecution never was made, and the State can never compenNate the Injured man for the wrong Inflicted on him. Tho utterances of trance,and conveniently appearing spirits should‘ betaken with a great deal of allow­ance, especially when they are In the Interest of selfishness. . t

Judging from the remarks made by Mrs. Wil­lard, Mrs, Baxter and Dr. Burnett, who are prominent members of the W. C. T.

Mr. Faude replies, treating bis correspond­ent with personal courtesy, but expressing disappointment at not finding "any clear statement of spiritualistic claims’* from bo sincere a Spiritualist as Mr. Eddy, Yet cer­tainly the preacher liad given no"c1enr state­ment" of what Spiritualism is, or claims to be, Jn his lecture. What had he done? Made garbled extracts from the writings of com­petent men like Kpe* Sargent, so shaped as not to convey the full and fair meaning of those authors, nod-caught up the loose words of Mrs. Carrie LowU, Ed. 5. Wheeler and their like, spoken In conventions where there was a large freedom of speech, without stating Ibnf thri great body of Spiritualists repudiate such views, and then charged Spiritualist* with "encouraglog drunkenness and laxity in tho family relation."

This Is priestly craft, the name in all ages. The minister la the helper aud servant of the people, bringing spiritual gift* to thorn; thepriest films to blind and belittle, that he may tho better control and lead the people for his own selfish eudB.

The German Reform Church of Tima, Ohio, on Sunday the 10th of February, were regal­ed by a sermon by Rev. Host, in which that gentleman made a savage attack on Spirltu- aliam,_After an Introduction, In which he set forth tho duty that one individual owes to another, nut to misrepresent and bear false* witness, ho proceeded to state the principles of Spiritualism, In which he made the moat abunlve and elauderaua naaauR on that phi­losophy that his low and vulgar nature was capable of conceiving.

" Everett." a leading contributor to the col­umns of the Christian Recorder, the organ of the colored people of Philadelphia, earn­estly lifts up his vol«o against the marriage of aw hile man with a black woman or a black man with a while woman. He men­tions no names, but lakes “ the recent mar­riage” us his text. Evidently "the recent marriage" sorely displeased Everett. “ Snch it step," ho‘writes, “ only make* the white men more careful, with their daughters lest they get acquainted with colored men; and so. on the other hand, should the colored men protect their daughters and sisters from the white men."

Tho Inter-Ocean reports that healing by faith ha* broken out In the Episcopal church. All right; conservatism must stand silent In the presence of facts. A Miss Fanny Curtiss, a lady about forty yearH old, who has been a

^sufferer from disease for twenty-three years, incapable of walking more than a few7 steps lit a time, claims that the Rev. Arthur J. Sloan Cared her In an Instant, byfaith and prayer, a week ago, and she has remained well since.In the evening of the day she was cured she walked to Christ church a quarter of a mile away. Mr. Sloan on being questioned about the case, said: " 1 do not place the cure of Mia* Curtis on the list of miracles at a!L As long as her faith continues she will remain healed,” Mr. Sloan has advanced, has dis­covered that wbat was calls«] a miracle is only natural. Spiritualists learned that long ago. The next step will be for Mr. Sloan to discover whether the faith acted directly to remove disease, or by exalting the spiritual nature, enabled loving spirits to approach, manipulate ahd heal the sufferer.

- —Religious cranks are becoming quite num­erous lately. New Haven ha* been experi­encing a religious revival which Is creating great exfcltoment and drawing large attend­ance. One night lately the church was crowd­ed and several arose for prayer, among them wa* a young mah named Trenton Warren, who became very much excited. Drawing his revolver Ua„shouted, "The laird be prais­ed," and begad, «hooting at his left hand, which he held up. Before tie could be overpow­ered he put four shot* In It. He will have to be sent to an asylum, as his mind Is greatly

■affected. At Hillsboro, 111., another excit­ing scene lately occurred In church. Among the converts was one Patrick Henry. It seems a bitter feud has existed between Mr. Henry and Mr. Cha*. Seymour. A few nights ago in the midst of the revival, while the pastor was exhorting the unconverted to seek salvation, and the altar was thronged with weeping mourners, Mr. Henry suddenly rose in the aadionee^attiT began a tirade of abuse against hteAHSw church member, Mr. Seymour, but was dually restrained by tbe pastor. Mr. Henry then rushed frantically to the altar and pnbllcly demanded that'll!* name be eras­ed from the books of-the chnrch, saying, as a reawn for his strange action, Mr.\Sejiiiwir had ¿ailed him “ a liar and a ihl&LC Mr. Henry then left the church la great auger,,. The occurrence baa caused much comment add many think Mr. Henry ta going craxy.

A Medium, Author and IMiHosojiher Re­call* the Past, Speaks of the Present, ami Predicts the Future for the Spir­itual Movement.

r* til« Editor U 111» Hal l/W I'til Jura.ulitasi Journal iIf l am not mistaken, the next number of

the Jiit'MS'jtl,completes the seventh year since Its editorial management was forced upon you by the sad and untimely death of my friend S. 8 . Jones. The task was far greater than you ot any one suppose! it to be. It Is well wo do not know the events the future has In store for u>, else we should be van­quished In the beginning by our doubts and fears. When you took the management,Spir­itualism was Inn critical »to to of disinte­gration, and It were difficult to determine which was doing It tho most harm, credulity or rascality. The crisis ha* passed, but ft has been a momentous struggle, and strange to «ay In doing this vitally essential work of Hearing away tho rubbish and presenting Spiritualism as a science, philosophy and re­ligion to the world, you have met mlsifnder- staudlngand abuse;endured the viper tongue of slander and misrepresentation, before which most men would have lost courage mid failed, f haveuraid from the beginning, if It were you only, you personally, moving for your own purposes, you would fail; but U was not you. The power of the Spirit-world forc.ed you Into tliu course you were taking; a course which Ignored the dictates of nar­row policy. and regarded .lengthy subscrip­tion list* as nothing compared with the truth. Policy, trimming, tacking to every breath that mow*, and compromiHing with slri may succeed for a time, hut-the only permanent success Is based on the eternal truth, and a strict adhesion thereto. It has been seven stormy years, but you have now the satisfac­tion of seeing the clouds drifting away, and the promise nf a clear day. The slanderer and defamer have received their deserts and become n loathing to all right »thinking p«> file; the lend mouthed and brazen '‘social* element is elnkingNmlof sight and a calmer and more thoughtful—perhaps more conserv­ative class Is coming to the front as repre sentative* of the cause.

The Jo pun a has a great center to which the best thoughts of Its world-wide constituency gravitated, and from whence thry-nre ema­nated, you have the satisfaction of knowing, has been a great power In bringing about this desirable result. * .

Your course has made Spiritualism respect ed by the secular press, as it has never been before, and compelled an honorable recogni­tion of the cause as a great religious move­ment worthy of report and just mention. But. my dear friend, your work ends not with vic­tories won; the hour of rest has not come. You will never lay aside the harness. Now comes the great work of reconstruction; the build­ing of a structure* wide as humanity, and profound and high as God. The beet of us can only bring a brick, a little mortar, per­haps a stone for ell) or ornament, Lut each doing his best, the temple will rise fair in proportion as a dream of Alhambra, for the architects -and builders have power and knqWJedgo we know not of,

South Ride Medium’s Meeting,

To U>e Bailor of toe ltaUcta KdlmophlcW Journal:Tilts organization, meeting at 2730 State

Street, has passed through night to light; through storm* which threatened destruc­tion, often, but it lias weathered them all. and seems tobe most prosperous and efficient. Their room Is large and nicely furnished; they have a good organ, well played by Miss Langley, a large and well-drilled choir*'ef­ficient officers and a largo attendance. On 'Sunday morning last, after a brief address by Mr. S. A. Danforth, the President, Mr. 1», M. Cole, of Brooklyn, congratulated the con­ference upon the signs of prt*perilyao visi­ble, and urged that Spiritualists should take a step la advance; should become active help­ers, by giving money, clothing, counsel, and aid of every sort to all ih* needy whom they could reach. The address was warmly re­ceive«), and Mrs. Ahrens followed in the same range of thought, pleading, In addition, for the charity that "suffereth long And Is kind;” for more perfect consecration to the truth. Then the Babcock sisters sang, "A city just over tbe bill,” to the great satisfaction of the audience. After an exceedingly energet­ic speech from Mr. Loughurst. a number of medium* made addresses, and all of them described spirits present. One of these, Mr*. Isa Wilson-Porter. gave greeting to Mr. Cole as a representative of Spiritualism from tho East, recalling the pleasant times, the con­trol. K. V. Wilson, had hud In tho city «>f Brooklyn, and declaring his unabated Inter­est in the cause of Spiritualism, This me­dium gave a number of teste In characterist­ic K, V. Wilson style, giving year, month and day of the event« noted. Judge Holbrook be­ing culled for) gave a pleasant, gossipy dis­cursive address, on everything in general and nothing In particular, and the President closed the session with a few well-choet-n words. It was a thoroughly enjoyable meet­ing, but too long by at least an hour.

Weat Nlde Conference.

To Uts YjUu* at toe ]UUsH!-tmUQ«i»btcal Journal:The attendance at this active association

which convene* at CIO West Lake St.,oii Sun­day last, was not as large &a It onght to have Wen. bat It was »eriotis and deeply attentive. Mr, Sawyer made the opening address. He preached what l have somewhere m»en char­acterised as "the gospel of unbelief" In many things, especially Spiritualism. Of coarse there were eager and earnest defenders, among whom were Dr. Adam MUler and Mr. J. Blmtnous, the former of whom presented a solid array of facto, unexplainable by any hypothesis but spirltnal, and with Cashed of quaint humor calling forth mnlle* and ap ptauae, while the dear-cut logic of his argu­ment demanded and received the eInsect a t­tention^ of .the audience, Mr, Wllllama pre­sided efficiently and the maslc w u of a higb order. I am told the conference 1* making elaborate preparation# to celebrate the com­ing anniversary. There 1« nothing eocondu- clveto Intellectual and spiritual growth as an orderly and judiciously conducted confer­ence, and tbl* one, nnder tho auuiacement of the veteran Williams and the xealoua Tref- fri»y, give« progilse of great usefnlne«*. The Writer advisee all Interested to attend regu­larly and take part In the meeting.

I* not Chicago Ihe center of the great Northwest',' Boston I* sometimes called "the hub of the uni* versa,” That old seaboard town Is a goodly dly, growing still, full of life and with many excellent people therein, but this unirete« does tini run on the wheelbarrow principle, It rolls on like a magnifi­cent filarini If Boston I» the Eastern huh Chicago is Ut» Western. Verily It la a great water of life and thoughi Now and then a Chicago dally news­paper comes to me, an Iromcuse sheet advertising all sorta of wares and merchandise, full of new», and Ila editoriali and articles oboupdlttg fn vigor, brendlh aril audaci!)’. A dally newspaper Is a sore trial to pati enee, while 11 Is something one must have, tine finds In It H much of real1 merit and vaino, with apoor mingling of boyish flippancy and »balbAr Jeer­ing at «nv good Ihlugnot yet popular or pious or fashionable. Your Chicago Journals bave one de­partment full of Interest,—report» of sermons of all flame». Like report* we find elsewhere. Imitations not so good as the originala. If one want* to find out what people think on religious matters, rwd what the clergy aaj, for they bave a shrewd Instinct at striking the popular average. If anybody thinks the tody of tbe clergy lead, they are greatly mistak­en. Now and then comes up »real lender, a pioneer minister, and when he coma be Is a pestilent iroute lor In Israel. There are, too, some ministers who keep In eight of the people, abreast but a shade ahead, and so do some good work. We can give these due credit, and *l|JI find tbe majority do not even »hind and wait for tome welcome motion of the spiritual Lldne, but creep to and fro with the sects they terre, repenting ntd shibboleths Mlttd with new phrases for pulpit effect,—«erring but noi leading. The Ude Is up to-day and Uie best preach­ers feel U; some with fear, some with abiding Joy and hope. Heresy Is above par; we catch strain* of Inspiring spiritual thought from a pulpit now tod then, and your great newspaper* help to sound them far «broad,—for the Journalistic Instinct turns to whatever has life, and show» dull tire*—especially of the clerical kind, dullest of olf,

Some Of these Chicago journals are before me, Is­sued within a month or lese. Let us see what the clergy are talking about Rev.fJ. H. Barrowa, II, Ik, (orthodox) »peak* Id Central Music Halloa "Memory fn the Other Life.” He says:

"Shakespeare always fastened on memory at tbe chief dement in the remorse of his great characters who had greatly sin n*d. ItI» memory which breaks the heart of crazed King Lear amid the howling tempest It li memory which tortoree poor, coble Othello. Of Shakespeare's tyrant murderer* It may be said that memory lashes them with whit« of scorpion*. Macbeth .writhes before Ran gun's ghost, shaking hla gory locks at him. Hamlet's uncle faces In terror hi* offence which had the primal eldest curse upon It a brother's murder. And when Richard III- In hkjtont on the night before Bo«worth1* bat­tle Is brought to front the ghosts of the murdered prince* and tbs murdered wife, as tin panorama of his wicked career, painted in blood, moves before him, hla remorae-emltton soul cries oat:

H * O ooyard conscience, how thou dost afflict usi Cold, fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh, What do I fear myself ? There is none e|ee by.Is there a murderer here? No. Yea, I am;Then By! What! fly from myself?*"Nellher Jeremy Taylor nor John Banyan ever

Her. Henry M. Scudder, lb l>.. strikes Ihe ernngid* leal nvenige of Plymouth (’httrcli by a sermon In de­fence of miracles, of which a paragraph may suffice:

"Had God bound himself a* ii prisoner to make no changes In His laws? There could be hut one con­clusion, and that wo* tbit a variation from tho order of nftlar« was possible. Tbe third argument adduc­ed against miracles ww that they were pomthle, but Dot probable, of course miracles were not probable, and hence their worth. That'argument was em­bodied In David Hume's i|ulbble, 'A lulrade I* cott- Uary to experience, end so we cannot accept it,’ and It wo* an absunl one, for man believed plenty nf things contrary to bis rxts-rience, nud wliirti be bo»l never *een of blcuMf.

A weak effort nf a dogmatic theologian to meet the equally weak negations of shallow materialism.

Rar. Edward Everett Hale, of Breton, preaches lo n full audience at Unity church, Unitarian, on “The Spiritual Power of Man,” and get* a iwo column re­port Id one of your dally journals. Hto thought runs In a clear tide a* foliow*:

“In that very twilight, before Hie dawn, the old fabls of rEeop is already true, and man I*, already the lain tor. It Is the conquest nf brut« force by spiritual power.

Ta lil* X,!lu* nf the IMtelD-l'hUuitipftle*! Journal IAt a reception given In honor of Dr. A. IL Uplnney

during his course uf lecture* in lb I* place in Febru­ary (which lectures were very Instructive sud enter­taining,) various exercise» were bad to make the Ume ploauuL »uil profitable; among which were Psychometric and phrenological readings by the lkKtor. tin this occarion It wm mostly psychomet­ric. Id tht» phase be I* remarkable. He nwl* with a rearilne«and accuracy quite surprising. A* one* after another lake» Bra cJuUr be lay* bra band on their bead«, and almost Instantly commences to trace tbe life line and mental chancterUUc».

After reeding a number correctly and to the satis­faction of themselrrii and ihw# who knew them, a lady took the choir, wbOMeined Bv Ira u »Hanger to rnrel of Bra audience. Dr. Spinney laid hi* baud on her h«d and sold, ns nearly u* I can repeal It Trdin memory:

“This lady has a very sen*Hive, *ad nature, «be ha* been n great »ufferer. Hire ha* been uuuy tluiw uu the verge of de*|MU. A mother uusmu boa guard- ed and saviel ber from lulcidel She has been »iuumI against more lhau eloulug. Hbe ha* been deeply wronged nnd suffurod untold norrow (hut none but heroeft and Ura angels kuew. in the ogouy of lier grief »be ha* many Uuhwcontemplated suicide—wen rmolred to take her own Ilf« and recap# from the great wrung« that crushed her transUDe nature with­out a friend who could know her grinf or pity her. The angel vole# whispered to her soul, ■Don't do It: (bear n little longer; there Is it brighter d.ij cotntng.1 and «be lias been eaved. Thl* lady! has a very aff«> ttonate, wortn, confiding naturr, nnd (» a better twr- eon than she luu credit for, 1 Meter saw ibis lady before that 1 know of; nnd few, If any, who know" her, appreciate Bra depth uf her nature or the suffer­ing* sire ha* endured. It 1* brighter to her nofir than ft ha* been. Hire need» sympathy from friend* Who appreciate her motive» and wrong*.-for »be often feels that she ho* no friend but Dnitn,"

From my po*jU<ra 1 could see tho Lady's hice; and when the»« etartllng revelation* uf herself were made, I mw her wipe aw»y the tears, which to tue lohl the truthful area of the reading, 1 (eft tlie great trull» of lhls revelation was applicable to thousand* who walk among us with chwrful-faces ur solemn visage, carrying burdens which none Jnil the, angels know.

“A face moj be woeful while Over a heart lhat Is aching;A f«« may be full of light /To cover a heart Ural is breaking.For the friends that leave our Mile <>ur hearts are well nigh riven,But, abl for the grave* we hldi\Have pity, tender Heaven."'

But what oonaoIsUon there is In the knowledge that, though all this world far«ke and every trusted friend betray, and those we love distrust and slab us In their Ignorance of tbe motlv« lltal more us, there are friend* unseen who know us a* we are end ten­derly watch over u* and sustain us In tbe darkest hour* or trial.

Recently In Uj Is p^sr* (for the spirit Is moving up­on the waters here I some “nevfr convert*" have come In. One material 1st ha* become an enthostasUc be­liever, and has changed bra life to conform to the new order of thing*. He says: “Oh I It my d«r moUrer live* and *eee me, I will never be a boil man ’ again, far It would grieve ter so! I will avoid tbe traer gardens and harmful resorts, and go where my mother can go with me and be trappy to see me re* farmed." And thus far he Hr« to the resolution, sad my* that Ire |e the bappl«t man on earth, far he knows his mother live* and Ural he shall live also, and be can now live fur an object and nol with the prospect of annlhilallou to cover all lire good and bad his ebort life here ho* shared.

Dr. Spinney did a splendid work here; so also did U. F. Kellogg who preceded him, and Mi*» Gleason who preceded Kellogg. Science Hall l* growing In favor, and tbe Govjret Temperance people have en­gaged ft for Sunday afternoon, sandwiched between our lectures. U«r meeting* ore growing Id number* aud Intercet and a good feeling prevails My engage­ment here Is now extended to the Drat of April

Home parties (I was told > who knew ihe lady re­ferred to in ihe foregoing narrative, sold ft wo* strict­ly true to the best of their knowledge and belief,

"Whit good do« Spiritualism do?" What good may ft not do If we rightly apprehend and use ft? Irahoring to thl* end I am *Ter hopeful.

I’ltOH MOSCOW,

D. I). Hume, After,* Lon* Silence, Once More Greet* the Renders or the Journal.

Although my health prerouta having ■£' antes, w e haveiotistant prwf* given of the presence ftf the loved and gone before, t he pleasure derived from a certitude of their presence to enhanced Hi observing how str ct- [y pereonal Motility 1» retained, harth-llfe, so replete with cares, would have no recom­pense, If, instead of meeting those .lead tons, we found they had disappeared, re-lncarnated Into—heaven knows who or what, I use the word "what" advisedly, knowing personally Kardeclste «ho well remember having been sulphur, steel, etc. As to Alexanders the Great. Louises of all numbers, amfMarie An­toinettes, there.are scores of them, each being thTtmly genulop. Strange that no haraecisl remembers haring been a aekass! I have met nodes« than three Jezebels, and one or these, djaking n call on friends of mine, rath­er astonished her hosts by abruptly leaving h«r chair and jumping on a sofa, exclaiming, “A doe hW come Into the room; o w since my blood was tapped by dogs I cannot endure the eight of one; tu a former Incarnation I was Jexebeir All Immortality Is a myth if these repulsive vagaries coulu be proven true- Personal Identity must be retained, and that It la retained, even to trifling peculiarities of character, la a fact well proven In my Mong experience. I give an Incident out of many to exemplify my statement:

A loved fidHtlve had passed away at the ripe old age of 85. He was more or less In­clined to doubt a future existence, and ha used to aay ns a Joke, "When I die, you will certainly see my ghost." Three weeks after bis spirit was free, he came one night after we had retired, with one of his spirit sisters, who informed us that she would communi­cate what her brother had to say. VI e heard In the drawing-room his well known foot­steps. and by the reflation of the street gas-* lights we saw the curtains of oar dressing- room drawn gently aside, nnd the following message was given; , .

-Here 1 am and here Is my shadow,{ombre) The shadow of him who loved you so dearly; the shadow of the past lu no mauner resem­bles the shadow of the present. My affection for you has not changed, only grown deeper. Take this, 1 give it to you." At this moment, my wife felt the touch of a hand holding a material object, which waa placed near her hands, nnd words fall to describe llio Impres­sive manner with which the message was con­tinued: "I placed It there. You touched my hand. Therefore I have a hand. I exist. God

After a few minutes’ silence, the alphabet was called for. and “Daniel, I love you more than ever," was given. He had during bis earth-life given me every possible PftK>r,o f his esteem and affection. On lighting the candle, we found ft framed eabluot-pboio- graph of himself ("Hie shadow of the past") had been brought from the drawing-room and placed as I have slated. ’

We aro passing the winter In Uussia.and on arriving in St. Petershnrgh, Oct. tsth.toy first questions to old friends wore to ascertain the position of Spiritualism. The replies with­out exception were most discouraging, and those Spiritualists I knew yearsagokeep aloof from all that goes on. „ I was told that one or two siancas were held, bnt the»« were either In darkness or under conditions preventing ail Investigation, and the natural, result is that people who are really Interested in the subject, have no satisfactory opportunities

iriven to convince them. There is an utter ack of Judgment shown in the selection of

those who have been brought here as medi­ums, Excepting Mrs. Fox-Jencken and Mr. Slade, both having remained only a short time, thn others that came have been caught In bare-faced trickery more than once.

I will give you an Instance to show you that statements are made and history JWTitton without the slightest regard to truth, and al­lowed to pass uncontraaicted by those who know their falsity. A few days after opr ar­rival In 8t, Petersburg!), a friend sent me a Rosslan paper called Ihe lie but, supposed to be devoted to the Cause. I send you the one I quote from, dated October lfllh, 1883. tyjth the He but came a few words written by my friend, which, translated, are as follows:

*‘I know you will not honor the detractor by contradicting through the AVhus the mon- «irons falsehood concerning yourself that it contains. The malice shown by your oppo­nents, solely for your brave and noble defense of Spiritualism, may, however, induce you elsewhere to expose their injustice and utter disregard of truth."

The "monfltrona falsehood' Is in an article entitled* "The Truth about U. P, BLavatsky."I translate, in substance, an Incident pre­ceding the one where I am named:

“Daring the war in $be Crimea, it would seem that Mud am Blavatsky was for a time In Loudon. One evening, being at the well known theatre of Drury Lane, Mrs. B,, dor ing au enfrr acle, Joined the usual gathering in the lobby. Some noble lord was harang­uing, as lords will do, the assemblage about the cowardly Russians. Madam B. took‘up the cudgels, nut ho only laughed at her and continued. She then commanded him tofltop. and ended by saying ‘I will make yon,stop!' Ai she ottered these words, acoadeiafrro.wUh all the candles burning, (candles In Drury Lane theatre!) c&meAumbUng down and the noble lord fell bathed.in his blood!”

The gas chandeliers In Drury Lane are enor mtras, and twenty othore would have fallen, "bathed In their blood,” not to mention the disaster that must have arisen from an explo­sion of gas; but, of course, as the “noblo lord” wsa the only one to blame, ho alone, by her

^ wiU, suffared the penalty for being lemanly. The account goes otfio aay:

"Madam B. was summoned before a oobrt of, justice, and was as cheeky as-possible with the judge. When a fine of five pounds was awarded, Madam B. most generously "gave ten, In cam* she should happen to meet him a second time."

The writer of the article then makes the following statement, translated verbatim:

‘This gallant feat made such an Impression In Russia that it greatly facilitated her being ptrdoned a ten-years' absence without a pass­port."

The above "truth" precede* the more shameful falsehood concerning myself and my Orat wife. This is a verbatim translationOf It:

"Previous to her (Madam B'a.) return to Russia, she became friendly with the celebra­ted medium, D. D. Home, and his wife- With them she made a long voyage in America, where she exhibited great power as a medium. Bbe.returued to Russia in the winter of 1868- W."

This "long voyage" mast hive been with the old. unseen, uniuown and anbelteved-la humbug, "Kootiewboaml” and his wife, inas­much as I was married In SL Petersburg only August 20th. 1858, and my aon was bom there May, 1850. Only a few month* previous to our marriage my wife left the Institute

Bt. Catherine, where Bhe had been placed for her education by her godfather, the bmperor Nicolas. She was just eighteen years old, and her position was such that neither previous to nor after, onr marriage, could she have known Madam ». The name of Madam B, was well known to me (bnt not as a medium) in the spring of ’58, In Parjs, but I never met with, or even saw her. ,

If the so called "Pioneer of Spiritualism," (he being interested in, aud a constant con­tributor to, this Ilebut) allows such state­ments to pass ancoutradlcted, well knowing, ns he does, their utter wont of truth, you may all the better understand Imw Spiritualism In Russia has retrograded instead of makingP M etier signed "Prince D. K..’’ trim si a ted from the Herue Spirite, and published in the J ournal, contains various erroneous state­ments; one, especially, reflecting on the com­mon sense and sound judgment or a justly well-kuwwn man. I alflrm that Profv()rookes did Trek lutrdduce the Petty brother« to M. Aksaktif. The Pettys lived In Newcastle and Prof. Crookes in Londou. Crookes never saw them. There also never was a medium here named "Clayes." \ I

To my certain knowledge the conditions ol the Potty brothers’ seances were such Hint none but gobemouchet of the Hazard and Kiddle type, would or could, have accepted them. I have my Information from a very certain source. I was told that the much spokeit-about black hand was «Imply a black glove. After one nr their usances my.infor­mant found a black glove behind the curtain« where the ooys had been seated. 1 now re­peat word fur word what was then told me:

The following day I gave the glove to the

roungeat boy, #ho Is a greater cheat than his brother. He only smiled nnd with perfect composure put it in his pocket.” I could only ask my informant If the promoters of these stances were made aware of this, and in re­ply was told: "R would be all in vain to try and convinca them that they are duped.

My Informant was only too correct; they were of the type of pohemoifchfs who wrote me the scores of extraordinary letters 1 re­ceived when I wifs compiling "Lights and Shadow«." I think that 1 enu candidly say that a man who can write a letter which 1 now quote, lias verily had "common sense ob­scured and intellect rendered obtuse." He say«:

"I think the aim perfect, but generally speaking I And it unbecoming or Improper, that a medium should occupy himself to er- mm the Impostures of mediums, eren had he ,he most convincing proof at hls disposal, hor Spiritualism It will be nothing new; these Impostures have bean often spoken of, and serious Spiritualists search the means to re- move them; but tho moral fact of Mr» Homo attacking hls confreres In mecllumship re­mains." J

It was quits ns Impossible to convince the writer of hls error, as it would be nny map or woman who, on a question of religion or politics becomes unduly enthusiastic nnd morally blind; they are apt. if met by con­tradiction, to have their feelings no wounded as to become enemies of those *ho try to open their eyes; today, l regrotto say, my correspondent only too folly proves my inser­tion, even to risking hls honor to injure me. The moral principle contained in tile above quotation Is a fair sample of ill« ideas of go- Oemoucket, not to mention that concealing imposture, even when holding "the most con­vincing proof," would l>e rendering oneself aweccompllce of the impostor, and therefore contrary to all Ideas of any man of honor. It would be d strange truth that required, fraud to be concealed.

I have never attacked my “confreres In me- dtumshlp.” I have attacked and always will attack Impostors, and I repudiate all con- frerle with them. It is a well known fact that I consider os simple conjuring tricks all rope tying and all cabinet stances, where every evening at a given hour, for a dollar a head, front sent« for gobemouchtt only, "spir­its," ancient and modem, materialize with­out fail. This Is not Spiritualism. Krnnds must be exposed, even if the credulous enjoy them. Honest Investigators, who search for high and holy truths, must be aided and warned where fraud and consejueptly dan­ger lurk*. 7 ^ __

The quotations from Prof. Mendelefs book are Interesting, but when the Professor takes upon himself to affirm that Spiritualism and medium«!)Ip do not exist, he becomes arro gant and pedantic.

Prof. Crookes and C. F. Varley In England, and ZOllner in Germany, are quite os Intel­ligent and competent judge* as Prof. Men- delef. In fact, os men of science they are better known, and have done more to ad vance scientific research than Mendelef. Prof. Var­ley was a believer in the spiritual origin of the phenomena. Prof. Crookes made a thor ongh and searching investigation, with cer tain intricate arrnngemenl« directed by him self In a well-lighted room with no nonsens­ical paraphernalia, such as drapery or cabi­nets, to conceal the medium, He decided that there waa an unseen force, but beyond this ventured on no explanation. If Prof. Mendelef had restricted himself to Wo personal exper­iences, no man endowed wlflxcommon sense and knowing the conditions given for a scru­tinizing Investigation, could blame him for hls decision, so far as he had seen. This, how­ever, gives him no right to pronounce the sweeping judgment he does on others, who without doubt would have arrived at uie «amo conclusion a* his, had the subject been pre­sented to them a* It was to him, Tho Profes­sor would not, however/have been far wrong had ho written ihat in pome Instance* "cre­dulity aud enthusiasm lovoreame reason aud obscured common-sen fle." Still. I repeat, al­though the opportunities given him to Inves­tigate wore more than imperfect; although he was brought in contact with fail blown pote* wuwAm only, yet he has no right to affirm, aa a rule without exception, that Spiritualists aritnen whose "intellect is rendered obtuse and whose common-sense is obscured." He only places himself in a position, by bis em thuslasm, to maintain hls theory, where It might well be’oald hls own "common sense is obscured " He Is moreover Incompetent to

« whether Spiritualist«, In the trueeense i word, hare “their intellect rendered ob­

tuse.” We can boast of Spiritualists of the past, as well aa of others still living, who were aud arc profound thinkers, leading men of science,'fitton of art. men of letters, endow­ed with the clearest of intellects, whose names will certainly;exist to posterity long after ?rof. Mendelef has been forgotten

Your position and eelf-sacrtficlDg devotion to defending the truth, pure and undeflied Is worthy not only of the highest praise and deepest gratitude from all true Spirttualista, bat every-effort should be made by them, to sustain the RiuGio-PHiLosoparciL Journal and encourage yon.

Cured by Spirits.,4 Deaf and Dumb OirVt Hearing Said to

Hare Seen ttcitored by ¡‘artici from the Other World. f

Chester, III-, March 10.—A most remarka­ble cure of disease of the body and Impair­ment of the naturai faculties ha» come to tho knowledge of your correspondent within the last few day«, sud 1« as follow«: Nearly twenty-three years ago there was born to Mr. and Mrs. James McNabney at their home near Diamond Cross, In this county, and some leu miles from this place, n daughter, being one of llvo children. When about one yenr old this daughter wiib aflllctod with spinal fever, and wlien Hip disease left her she was found to he both deaf and dumb. When she had attained young womanhood elm wan sent to the institution for the deaf and dumb at Jacksonville, aud lifter nn a t­tendance of eight years returned to her home with a go*«1 education. Her health was gen­erally good, and she has nlwaya been a bright ami intelligent child. However, some time ago bIio became troubled with a disease some­what resembling dropsy, for which she was treated by local physicians, but without ef­fect. Her parents, becoming apprehensive that tho disease might result fatally to their otherwise afflicted girl, took her to St. Louis, where a consultation of two eminent physi­cians was hold, and they decided that a tu­mor had formed Internally and that to save the girl’s life a surgical operation to remove it wa« necessary. The mothpr prole-led, fearing that death would btf tho inevitable rosali, and said that if her daughter had to die »he would take her home to her own tender rare and treatment, that she might supply her want* while llvlug.

Mr«, McNabney, the girl’s mother, Informs your correspondent that her daughter has been thus sadly afflicted during the last four year». . .“At the first symptoms, she «ays, 1 was not much alarmed; but a* time woro on 1 noticed that she gradually grew worse, I asked her a* well as I could concerning her feelings. She being a deaf mute, aud I not having learned the sign languago perfectly, made it more difficult for mo to understand her affliction than if she conld have talked with her tongue. At first she complained of pains In her right shoulder and side, then a bloating of the abdomen for three or four days, with very little appetite, and a tired, weary feeling of the body. Then again she would be batter for a week or two, but the incessant pains would return, coming on as regular as the days of the month, returning with increased vigor till the/were almost past endurance. Our family physician thought, he laid, it muflt ha dropsy, and he treated her, but without effect. Ho finally advised us to take her to St. LouIb for treatment, and accompanied us there. Wp went to as skill­ed a phyHiclan as there ls4n that city, who. on first examination, said he was not satisfi­ed as to the disease. He sSKl It was some­thing nowio him. and he wtohed to consult another phyalcton, which he did. After a second examination the two physician» thought it best to try medical treatment to ascertain whether or not she had Im Internal tumor, but tho treatment appeared to aggra­vate instead of relieve. Rather than submit to a uso of Hie knljo, Emma wa« returned

ITiwn the return Mrs. McNabney’B slater suggested that the cose be submitted to Mr. Joseph Beare, a merchant of this place and one of Chester’« oldest citizens, who is aD avowed Spiritualist and what I» known as n healing medium. The lady^ald she believed Mr. Beare could care the girl. Mr«. McNab­ney readily consented to her sister’s proposi' Hon, add the sister at once wrote to Mr. Beare-ln form log him of the condition of the girl, and asked If ho conld relieve her. Ac­cordingly Mr. Beare and hls wife held a "circle*.’ a t their own home at once, and Mr. Beare, after thus communicating with Ills spirit friends, informed the family that. If It was their desire, the spirit frlendn would,un­dertake treatment of their daughter. It should be known here that nothing wb» said to Mr. Beare of the condition of tho girls natural faculties: nothing was related but the physical condition of tho child*

Accordingly the girl was taken to the resi­dence of Mr. Beare for treatffient on several occasions, and relief w a / eoon experienced. Aftera time the girl secured a boarding- place In Chester, that treatment might bo- more frequent. This treatment consisted solely of laying on of hands by the medium, and always Ip the presence of Mrs. Beare and Mrs. McNabney. No medicine was used after the spiritualistic treatment began, in No­vember last, and none has been used since. Mrs, McNabney Informs your correspondent that her daughter’s bodily ailments are much improved, and thinks she will be entirely cured In the course of time and without med- Iclue—solely by the spirit hand, through the agency of Mr. Beare.

But the most remarkable thing lu this con­nection is the restoration to the girl of her sense of heating. Shedfcsd been treated for her still nn known d tolto« but three weeks when she made known the fact that she could hear common conversation, and with each application of the medium’s hands the sense increased the more, until now she converses, not fluently,but sufficiently to be understood, and at tho same time she understands the usual conversation of others. The first time she attempted to utter words was on Christ­mas morning, when qbo surprised her father and mother by saying to Them so aa -to be un­derstood hut still With Imperfect articula­tion, "I wish you a literry Chrlstmasr And Indeed It was a merry Christmas to the fam­ily, made so by hearing, if tor nearly twenty- three years, their daughter’s first aurcesaful effort to speak.

Mil« McNabney has been provided with school-book*—arri a primer, and from that to the higher grade* os «he became proficient in their ose.

In conclusion, Mr- Beam make* no claim that the girl’s Improved pk/rical condition and the restoration of her «acuiti« are duo to anything that he may have done of hls own volition—that it wa* simply and solely produced by hls spirit friende, who uaed him as the agency through which the wonderful and most remarkable cure wa* effected.— Special Correr po »deuce Chicago lV(5a»c,

Knowing tlipt you are always interested in all matiera that pertain to the growth of Spiritual 1*1)) and trie welfare of All Spiritual­ist societies. 1 have long wished to call your altontlon to the Bouth Mlrta Society, which meet« at Apollo Hall,2,730 State Street. That this floeiety should have arrived at its present nourishing state aud received no mention In the Journal, Is not your tanlt, I know, but that of a few persons who have allowed prej­udice to be mistaken for seal, and who, by their own bias, have contracted nnd dwarfed the o p in io n « of those around them. These wo'1 Id-Nt-leaders see la the editor of the Journal only a " medium-slayer," and think to dispose of lilm by passing »entenceof con­demnation upon every act of hls, while the poor(?) Journal is banished from the list of papers, as unworthy their notice. As charity nlwavH looks back and covers a multitude of «Ins, so, Mr, Editor, can l took bnek to tho time when I held a similar opinion, and was found amongriho number (which Is rapidly decreasing) whn "believed the editor of the Journal to beui greater humbug than the mediums he ntltodmd. Ignorance was the disease with which TKvras afflicted; then, a« now, somebody told soibHbody and somebody/ told me. and I told someN^Jy else that the; editor of the Journal was tlu> enemy of Spirit­ualism arid the sworn foe to all medium». A personal knowledge of what the J ournal did say and (each, joined to the acquaintance of Its editor, was tho remedy in my case. I am happy to #ay I was soon led to acknowledge 1 had not judged fairly of either /iie. hong may the editor live, mighty may hls pen con­tinue. null sharp as a Damascus blade he the sword of truth fu hi» hand: that the Journal rnay continue as now the friend to honesty, the advocate of purity, the fearless denouncer of fraud, hypocrisy and unclranne«». to my wish joined to that of thousands who rend your paper and rejoice that the time has come when mediumshlp shnll no longer he permitted to serve aa a cloak, under which moral deformity may hide Itself!

As confession 4 s consider««* good for the soul, I have mads mine. I can only hope the little handful of men and women alluded to, will soon learn that cre«lulity and a love of the marvelous bto not the safest guides, and he led to ee* the wisdom of, and accept the advice given by, one of old: "Try the eplrils and see IN they be of God." If I have seem­ingly wandered away from my subject, the South Side Society, pardon me; the opportun­ity was too good to lose, f have long wished to acknowledge my allegiance to the Jour­nal.

Some two years ago a few Spiritualists united together and organized a public meet­ing, renting a small room In the building they now occupy. After a few weeks of struggle, they had their reward; their num­bers increased. From the »mall room they occupied, they moved into a commodious neatly furnished hall, which is filled fu li of earnest, attentive, Intelligent people.Sdnday after Sunday, and at.an (mtiYwTien it would seem importsIblNucoilveno & bodv of Spirit­ualists who, as a rale, are constitutionally lazy at the hour of half-pant ton A. m. This meeting takes the form of a conference, aud has for Its President a live man, & fearless advocate of right and a denouncer of wrong; one who dares to lay the ax at the rotftof the evil. A go«>d choir is one of the attractions, for truly "music hath charms," but never ho many as when rendered by those who catch the Divine Harmony, and who feel the vibra­tions in the air caused by the songs of the innumerable choir of ascended spirit*.

The platform of this society 1» a broad one; on It we ilud the ex-minister, judge, doctor, mechanic and medium. Honesty nnd earn­estness, as a ruUr, mark their utterances and great good is the reiiilt; the attendance to steadily increasing.

In connection with this society there to a fortnightly sociable, which Is of great value, for Itls the golden opportunity of knowing each other belter. Aud we hope the mtot« of prejudice will roll away.

1 take the responsibility of saying that per­sonal feeling on the part of some member« ha« kept all mention of this society out of the Journal, by not furnishing It the Informa­tion. 1 am glad to say that with an Increase of members there has come broader views and better feelings, and tfvday I but voice, the opinion of tho majority, when l say wo earnestly dc»lre to co-operate and work with those who labor for humanity’s soke, and we moat heartily endorse the »ejrtttnent uttered by William Denton, and so fearlessly carried out by the J o u r n a l : "Whatcannot atand had best be gone."

Mr. Editor, ours is an open door. Com»' and wee us. 'You will find f r ie n d s who w ill give you a warm welcome and bid you a hearty God speed.

Talmudic literature, utilizing all available then devoted himself entirely to magic. These [ those days that they »tlgmaUz«*«! his parent*sources of information. The results of my "prolonged researches” will be herein em­bodied, In contrast to the very Imperfect and misleading presentation by Mr. Mim-ey.

The Talmud Isa heterogeneous collection of rabbin tea I commentaries on the Old Testa­ment. it consists of two divisions; the Mlsh- na and the Gemara. The Minium nmy be called the Talmud proper, while the fJemam is a kind of commentary on the Minima, an­notating It sentence by sentence. There are two Talmud», the Yerushalml (or Jerusalem) ami the Habit (orBabylonian). The Mishna Is almost identical in the two, but the Gemara Is quite different. The Babylonian Talmud is about four times as long as the Jerusalem, and It is often called "our Talmud,'’ it being the one In popular use. The Mishna consists of rabbinical interpretations, extending over a period of about GOO years, from B. C. 400 to A. D.J200, approximately, the final compilation being made by Rabbi Yehudah Uakodesh hie* burton the Holy) A. I). 21i>! The final redac­tion of the Jerusalem Gemara occurred about A. D. 400; that of the Babylonian Gemara, about A. D. 600. The Talmud Bahli, the one in general use, consist/« of twelre volumes, covering with the gloss«* and marginal ref­erences G.KtM folio page* In Hebrew, Aramaic and Rabbinic letter-prww, utterly devoid of vowel point«. The work Is divided Into six divisions or tedarim (order« or series), The

-tedarim are divided Into seventy-one manic- toth or tracts, which, In turn, are divided in­to 1133 pcrolifHi or chapters* these latter being composed of 4.187 feiftAmiiofA or paragraphs (Hcrshon’i Talmudic Miicellanu, liW>, pp. i l l xvilly- The Mishna never refers to Jesus, bi/tjn the Babyloulan Gemara are found a number of passages In reference to him.

Jesus is named some twenty times In the older, unexpurgated editions of the Gemara. He Is riilled therein "Ha Notxrl" (“llin Nazn- r e n O "the Hung," "that man," “he whom we may not name," “the fool," " Absalom.” "Ben (son of) Simla," and "Ben (son of) Ban­dera."

Mr. Massey Invariably speaks of the Jesus of the Talmud as being called Jehoehua In that book and in the Toledoth Jeschti. but this is erroneous. Jesus is never called Jehoshua la any of the rabhlnirnl .writings, but always Jeshti. Jesus is a G reel zed form of Jeshua; Jeshna is a variant or abbreviated form of Je- hoshua or Joshua, Jeshuodn Hebrew Is writ­ten with four letter»,— )W, aAfn, mu.ayin, YSh 1‘ A. Jesus being regarded by the Jews as a false god, and Tract Sanhedrin, fot.114. saviug, "It 1» unlawful to nuufe the pamo of a false god," the Talmudists and later rab­binical writers have mutilated the name Jeshua,by cutting off the final letter npiiMind so he is always called Jeahu Instead of Jeshua. Mr. Massey Is welkawaro of this. It being ful­ly explained in Baiing-Gould’a work, yet, strange to say, he invariably speaks of the Talmudic and rabbinical Jeho$hua instead of./caAu. Probably Mr. Massey Ignored all this because it wan the Christian Jesns of Nazareth whose name was mutilated by the Talmudists, sad as Mr. M. claims that the ,Talmudic Jesus was not the Christian, it would not be pdlitlc to refer to the Talmudic Jeahu; so without any authority,and In oppo­sition to fact, he substitute« Jehoehua tor Jeahu. TblA is merely the first of a long series of lnaccurades.ln Mr. Ma**ey’s reference* to the Talmudic Jesus. Rabbi Ellas, In his Y’urAAf, says the Jnws will not acknowledge Jesus as the Savior, hence they do not call him Jeshua, but reject the avin aud call him Jeshu. So also Rabbi Abraham Perl»], in his Maggcrt Ahrakam, eh. &U, says the agin .was left out of Ills name because he was un­able to save himself. These passage« prove that the Christian Harior Is meant by Jeehu In the Talmud, despite Mr. Massey’s assertion that another Jesus living a- century before Jesus Christ, is intended. Denndlng Jeshua of Its final letter, agin, three Hebrew letter* are left, nod, «Ain, rau, which are interpreted, according to rabbinic conceit, as signifying ylmakh shemo vezikrono. “May his memory be destroyed and his name be blotted outr* (Baring-Gould, Lost and Hostile Gospels, pp. A7-8; Farrar's Life of Christ, Excursus if.; Sepher Toledotb Jwhu.

Mr. Massey says he came to America to pro­claim some results of 1 1 1* "prolonged research­es." Following this statement, he remarks that he had assumed the identity of the Je- tioshua (sic) of the Talmud and the Clirlstiau Jesus, but thi* was before he “had compared and questioned the dates."

alumdlc Jesus lived before the Christian era, and these two are virtually only one; the one being a duplication of the other in another book of t)ie Talmud. It Is true there was a Jehonhua Beu Perakiah, who lived In the time of Alexander Jannei aud who may have fled to Egypt B. C. 105; but there are a number of other Talmudic passages about Jesiiu (Jesus,) which present a different phase of the matter from that arising from these two pasHage* alone. Chronology aud proper name« are al­most Inextricably confused and mixed iu the Talmud, and It require* patient and careful sifting and weighing to arrive at accurate data therein. "Anything more utterly ua- hUtorical than the Talmud cannot tie con­ceived,” says Canon FarVar. “It is probable thkt no human writings ever confounded names, date» and facte with a more absolute Indifference,,.

In "Gittfrh" foj. bo, L 1* mentioned the running away from him of the wife of Paphos ben Jehuda. ThivPapho» certainly lived after the Christian era. and in all probability died In the second century. All the passages, therefore. In the Talmud re­ferring V) Jesus, sou of Sthda or son of Pan­dora. refer 4w»-Je»us Ilvlng^ftor, not'prior to, the Christian era; aud these passages are many. So that, after duly correcting the er­ror of the two passages connecting Je»us with Joah.ua b* u Perakiah. owing to similar­ity of name* of the two Joshua», it is seen that every passage In the Talmud refers to a Jesus living after A. D. I. Beside* being called Stada, Jesus’s mother is called Mary (Hebrew Miriam) iu the Talmud, and l*even

In various Talmudic passages Jesus 1« called the ton of Stada or son of Pandera, Stada tho mother and Pandera the father. In 0 rigen .Ce leus, the pagan antagonist of Chris­tianity, Is quoted as saying (on Jewish au­thority} that the carpenter, betrothed to Mary, put the mother of Jevus away, because «he had proved faithless to him. with f soldier named Panthers; and the Talftiudlrlwrfters narrate that Jesus'* mother left her Irusband, eloping with one Pandora, by-who&*wa* bora’ Jesnu (Jesus). When we come to consider the signification of th* words Pandera and Stada. we easily jperceive why Jesus's parents are tho* called. They are not genuine names, but are symbolic term* expressive of the ha­tred of Jesus, entertained by the rabbi«. Pan­dera 1» a Hebrew form of the Greek word Pantbera. which mean* "panther," the wild beast. In those days the leopard was deemed the offspring of the panther and Hone«.—a hybrid animal.

Again; In alle­gorical exegesis,the panther Is said to derive ft* name from the Greek, to pan ttoran, thoj signifying the personiflcatlon of MnsnalitT.

Stada. in Hebrew, means “ an adulteroae woman," or "one who forsakes her btobaad for another;” evidently applied to Jesus'* mother as dasertp Ire of her char­acter, not as her genuino appellation.

Thi* is evidently unhistorical; certainly both modes of execution were not practiced on Je*n*. The Jewish mode wa* «toiling to death; the Roman, crucifixion. Being crucified, he as­suredly wa* not stoned. The Jew* were prob­ably so bitter against J«*us that they wished to share the glory of hi* execution; so they claimed the credit of putting him to death, both the stoning and crucifixion being in the Talmud ascribed, apparently, to the Jews, without mention of the Roman* In any way.

With such an assumption, what becomes of the perfect attributes of the self-existent, self-sufficient, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent being? From the dawn of cou- sciuuslieea la the more animal, to its com­pleteness in the perfected spiritual,the entire process of advances Ib that of orderly succes­sion, which, throngh creation and develop­ment, becomes a revelation of the Divine method of immortal generation. If within the divine possibilities, there are other and superior moan* by which the human ludtvld- uaTlty could have been created and unfolded, until It had attained lbs supreme destiny through human completeness, what excuse can bo ofTered for the nwlecttooxerciBésuch superior means In the creation and develop­ment of individual humanity? Such an as­sumption necessarily becomes an impeach­ment of the divine character. It la Impossi­ble for a rational mind to conceive of a being perfect In wisdom, perfect in power: and per­fect In motive or will, acting a« such a crea­tor and providence, and yet falling so to exer­cise these attributes on to produce the beat re- eultfl poeslhie. In the conditlonaand the Jaws by which all Individualities are created' and endowed, there Is uniformity; and ench uni­formity must become an expression of the Divine Presence, in Its legal perfections. Throughout the several kingdoms In which the Divine Presence has been revealed. It is the law. that tlie offspring. In faculty and in function, shall bo begotten Iti tito constltu- tlnnal image of the parent; nndjuirh law be­comes a revelation orthedlvlne method.wlilch must he in accordance with the perfect love, wisdom aud will of the divine being. There­fore, the history of creation and development makes It evident, that from the beg lulling,the operations of the Divine Presence have ooen directed to the ultlmnllon of the human in­dividuality in its completeness, bringing it into the Image and similitude of the heaven* enly Parent, This history, whether studied in the natural unfolding« of the earth and It« kingdoms, or in the spiritual history of the race.discloses the fact, that the ultimate de-*- tlny of a human being can be nothing le«a than complétenos« in every faculty of his spiritual being. And wo know that man Is adequate to the perfection *f himself In bis spiritual faculties through perfect obedience of divine law; end we know that he most be­come bo perfected to satisfy his aspirations; and that the means for such attainment must be forever within hi* reach. We also must infer, that Ood, as a perfect Creator aud a perfect Providence, in the creation and devel­opment of the human individual, has employ­ed the best means possible by which auch in­dividual could bo created and brought to com­pleteness, Therefore, we must infer that hu­man parentage, In the Iverson of father and mother, are essential parts of the proceas by which the human Individual is created. 'Be­cause if the human individual could have been begotten and born free from the Influ­ence of imperfect parentage, and could have attained spiritual completeness without past­ing lower and inferior degrees of development there can be no rational doubt, that a being of infinite iore.wlsdomand power would have manifested his character and attributes in such creation.

One who affirms the existence of another and superior method, by which Owl could have created and endowed the individual hu­man, without the sld of human paternity, and consequently free from the physical and mor­al blemishps which such paternity communi­cates, maths a grave Impeachment of the di­vine character. To assume such a position is a declaration that infinite love, wisdom and will are not to he depended utxvn aa likely to do the best, possible under all circumstances. As moral beings, we are taught, that onr heavenly Father requires of us, that, under all circumstances, we act np to our highest and best capabliltleH, in the exercise or onr faculties, and In the discharge of our moral duties. That if we do not do so, the evil con­sequences resulting from our unfaithfulness, will he chargeable to our account, and we shall toot our responsibilities accordingly.

•But if onr heavenly parent has not, In our creation and development, done the best pos­sible to hi« wisdom, will and power, he will not bo likely to condemn hi» children for be­ing in snch respect like himself.

If Jesus of Nazareth was begotten without human paternity, and as a consequence, he wan enabled to become perfect ns a spiritual individual In a sense in which other individ­uáis are not able, he become« a revelation of the possibility of begetting the human indi­viduality in such a manner a« to nvoldljbe liability to aln. Aud this being so. the man­ner in which he was begotten becomes a« much superior to the one Clod has ordained for humanity, as was the life and character of Jesus superior to the life and character of Herod. Sueh being the fact, Ood (« justly chargeable for the vices ami crimes, and In­cident misery, which have beset humanity from the beginning, because he failed to em­ploy tbe beat means possible in creating his human children, and bringing them to com­pleten!!««.

From these and similar considerations, the dogma that Jesus of Nazareth was begotten without human parentage, and that he owed his superior wisdom, good note and power to such fact, cannot be received apon any evi­dence which will not satisfy the understand­ing that the creation of the material aud of the spiritual universe, and the government of the some, are the work of a Being who cannot be depended upon to do the beet possible

. within his knowledge and power, and, hence, that God is oot worthy of supreme confidence and trust. Sueh a dogma cannot be sustain­ed, aud tbs perfections of the divine character be maintained. To assume that man. begot­ten and bora oeeotdlng to tbe divine method of human generation, cannot, by the proper

»exercise o ía la faculties, as a human being, attain a state of oneness of life and character

with hia heavesly Parent, la which condition he will he able to receive of the divine efflu­ence in its infinite fullnees, and thus become a son and child of God in tbe dlvlnp, is to as­sume that Jesus was a teacher of falsa doc­trine; and that Christianity, as taught and illustrated by him, Is without foundation in truth; and also that it la not applicable to hu­manity as « particular means of establishing oneness with the divine of tiro universe,with­out special and abnormal wwiBtonce, not be­longing to the orderly unfolding of the hu­man spirit. . ,r ,

The supreme value of Jesus ns the living way to the Father, and asa revelation of that way, consists in the fact, that he was a hu­man being; begotten and- born aR such, by means ordained by the Divine Creator, as the best possible, and as the only means by which the human spirit could be crested and become perfected. Having, throngh perfect obedience of divlaa-hnv, attained In this life. hLi 8U-

8reme*ils?stlily, ue became “The Word made ash”—"The law of God incarnate"—"God

manifest in the flesh;" and thus, lie became a revelation to the human, of the divine per­fections and of human poaUbllllie« under the Divine Government. He becoHuw In a large de­gree, a manifestation of whal every Individ­ual, throngh obedience of divine law, is capa­ble of becoming. . _ . .

Jesus as the son of man demonstrated the fact that man. throngh perfect obedience, is capable even In this life of becoming perfect in each and All the moral virtues, and. ttierite fore, he must*be held responsible for his fail­ure to'attain Ills complete destiny in this life. And he demonstrated that man's failure to attain completeness Is due to his disregard of the commandments which forbid him to In­dulge in selfishness, in sensualism and lost to the neglect of Ills spiritual needs. By such an interpretation of the origin, and the mis­sion of Jesus, wo are In oome degree able to perceive the extent of man's responsibility for his own salvation. As the son of man, he teaches us the extent of human possibilities; and he demonstrates what one may accom­plish, provided he make» it the business of his life; to become in* spirit, perfect a« the Father lit heaven is perfect. As the son of man begotten, born and developed under the established laws of Individual generation ami development, Jesns becomes of inestimable value to humanity a» a teacher of the way to the Father; and as an Illustration of the means, by which man is to come to his su­preme destiny.

But when ft Is supposed that Jesus, in his generation, lu his life and mission, was an exceptional being, that ho was In every par­ticular a special providence, Introduced to provide, in nn exceptional manner, for human salvation, his value to humanity as a teacher, and an exemplar la lost. As auch an excep­tional belug, he! cease* to become a revelation of tlie divine method with humanity; he no longer become« a teacher applicable to the human condition. He. therefore, ceases to become ‘The word of God made flesh;" he ceases to become “the law of God incarnate;1' he ceases to become "the Divine Human­ity;" aiul. therefore, humanity instinctively gives up tbe effort to actualize In itself that spiritual status, which 1« only possible to onc- exceptionally begotten by the holy spirit; iflid instead of hopefully seeking to attain to the ChrUtly sfalus, as a condition possible and essential to individual completeness, the dis­ciple content« himself with believing all the marvellous things said respecting him; and with depending upon him for a loan of right­eousness to be vicariously applied to his ac­count with the Father, in the finnl'settle- ment, and ha is taught to rejoice and make himself happy in tho thought, that his Indi­vidual sins nave been imputed to the only sinless being who boa lived upon the earth; and ha« suffered in his stead, the penalty for the same.

Upon the hypothesis that Jestis was super- naturally begotten and brought into existence for an exceptional purpose, a system of theo­logical dogmas ho« been constructed, which reflects .severely upon the divine character, and which. In those who accept of it, is fatal to a true Christian character. By such dog­ma« the normal relation« of Gpd to humanity have been denied, and man has been remitted to the authority of human teachem-fes infor­mation respecting bis origin, his duty and his destiny. By mean« of these dogmas the teachings of Jesus,and his living Illustration of their truth and value. haVe been perverted, and a supernatural faith, anti-Christian in character, has been the result.

A vicarious righteousness ns a substitute for individual righteousness, has no place in the Christly system; and a faith baited upon such nn hypothesis must be discarded by one who seek« t o .become perfect in the moral vir­tue«. a« the Father in heaven Is perfect 'in his divine attribute«. Whoever depend« up­on borrowed righteousness to gain admission to the heavenly feast, will find himself In the hour.of need like the foolish virgins in the parable, who had their lamps, bul had no oii which could make them of any value; and like them he will be unable to borrow, because none can be found with oil to lend. All snch belong to that clas» who have mistaken the form of Godliness for the thereof,

Jesus assumed that it 1« possible for man, through obedience, to attain a state of divine onem-ss with the Father lu the seumHp which he was one with him; and he prayed that alt might fifid such oneness. If Jesus hall thus become morally perfect, dwelling corner Ion« - ly In the Father, and thus comprehended hu­man possibilities, did he not know the possi­ble realization of his desire? Would ho have directed his disciples toseA first, or above all things the kingdom of God and his righteous­ness by becoming in spirit perfect a« the FatRer in heaven Is perfect, had he known that such ah attainment was a human im­possibility?

This dogma of vicar lout ness la most disas­trous to the realization of a Christian life and character In one who base« hie hope of salva­tion upon it. It teaches, practically, that man la not capable of obey lug perfectly the requlr- mentsof the Heavenly Father, and that, there­fore, It 1» not expected that he.will do so; that God has made wpecial provisions by which it becomes unnecessary that he should do so, while yet he la to obtain the benefit« of perfect obedience; that Jesus, by his suffer­ings and death haa paid the penalty for all sins committed Jvy the believing world; that God, in hie wisdom ha» determined upon this plan, in orderthat the paved shall own their salvation to grace, and not to character; that God will not permit spiritual character to be taken into the account, in the ultimate Judg­ment. With all truly religions and rational minds, the mere statement of thle dogma should be a sufficient refutation of It.

Jeans of Nazareth, a« a teacher of the way to tile Fathef, differed from other teachers In' this: Spiritually, he lived la, and acted from, the inmost of his being, aud by ro doing he became a revelation of the dlnne man; and a manifestation of a dlripe humani ty. He at­tained this status throngh perfect obedience of divine law In every department of bis be­ing. In this way be «ought the Father, and through hie .attainment, the divine father

came Into manifestation, making manifest in and through him, Divine Love and Divine Truth; causing the human In Jesus to become a revelation of the divine man—"the word made flesh," "Divinity incarnated," aud hu­manity perfected In Christ. As such divine man, Jesus became a revelation of human possibilities; a revelation of what man will become by living a life of perfect obedience. There are different method« of expressing this Idea, but when spiritually considered. they ultimate in about tbe same system of truths. When it is said, that Jesus ChrlBt is God Je­hovah manifest in the flesh; or that God Jeho­vah clothqd himself in human form, that be might come to humanity as its redeemer and savior, It is not to be implied that divinity took upon Itoelf a different body, In a differ­ent manner, having different faculties, and exercising different functions from what per­tain« to the human individual. It Is only af­firmed that the divine Being, who, as Creator and Providence, is the all of Life—of love—of truth—of purity—of holiness—becomes con­sciously present in tffe perfected human spir­it; establishing in every department thereof divine order, in its inception, birth, develop­ment and completeness; bringing the indi­vidual to the su ture of perfect manhood; and that by so doing, God the Father come« Into manifestation, and thus becomes a real pres­ence within tbe perceptions aud cognition« of humanity.

It is self-evident tlmt tin* divine Being canid become human no further than the hu­man constitution had Hie capacity to receive and respond to the divine Presence. God Je­hovah could not assume the human form bo-

jnnd the possibilities of such form to receive and respond to such Presence; and it Is equal­ly evident that the human could not receive beyond the capacity of that which constitu­ted it human, Therefore it is a matter of but little Importance, wbat particular form of expression Is used to express the divine fact, that humanity, through perfect obedi­ence of divine law,k will attain a spiritual status. In which the spirit of the universe will nhhle, outworking through the perfected individual, the divine will in all things.

ITorta* nilWto-l'hlUaopfcJeil JottmiLThe Children’s Progressive Lyceum,

John Trobonlus always appeared before his boys with uncovered head. He used to say in explanation: “Who can tell what may yet rise up among these youths? Thera may be among them those who shall be learned doc­tors, sages, legislators or rnlBrsof the empire." Tho yonng Martin Luther was then one of his ptiplls.

Spiritualist« as well as others ought to in­terest theinselye« In the future welfare of their children, yet how often do they send them to Hip sectarian Sunday School, where the same old poison is administered (though, perhaps, somewhat diluted) as it was a cen­tury ¿go. It often happens that, owing to the disgust they feel for anything that smacks of old theology, they allow their children to roam at large, thns making waifs of those who are entitled to all the love and tender care their parents can bestow!-

What hnve we to take the place of the Bun- day School? Is it the Childrens\FrogressLve Lyceum? It 1« a step in advance of the Sun­day School system, and that is about all; for there seems to have been no great advance in all the vears of its existence. Andrew Jack- son Davis told the writer, thirteen years ago, that in two years from that time there would not he n Lyceum in existence. Was he a prophet? Did he not anticipate an Improve­ment on the then present system, and that a more perfect organization would grow out of it? Very likely he did, and reasoned that the SnlritnallHls or this country, being pro­gressive, would surely devise something to meet the demand for a system In keeping with the times; but it Is a lamentable fact that there has been no perceptible progress, and It is not to Wondered at, that advanced Spir­itualists doi not send their children to the Lyfeum.'—Aiilde from this, It is evident that the average 9niritualist is not yet out of the woods of doubt, and adopts the "Good-Lord ■and good-devil” policy, not feeling like cut­ting himself aloof from the old raft, because he isn't sure the new concern will float.'

The only thing that distinguishes the Ly­ceum from the Sunday School of the church is the fact that marching (with (lags) and light gymnastics are introduced, and in lieu of teaching from a catechism, nothing nt all Is taught by those who occupy the positions of teachers or leaders. -

The practice of making th/xycetnn session an exhibition for the gratification of visitors, is tbe rock tbe Lyceum splits-upon. Tbe first object entertained by those who have charge, should be to Interest boys and girls In such a manner that they shall feel that they havo acquired sometlying which will be of benefit to them. The amusement of visitors should be of secondary importance. As long as they depend for an existence as an institution up­on the dime« the spectators may present as a fee to the Lyceam-ehow, Just eo long will the organization remain a living skeleton. But my object in writing this article la not to And fault with those who are, a« they fancy, working in the good eausej but to stimulate them and others who may be interested, to get out of the old rute, deal with facts as they may be met with, teach the young mtud that their faculties are to be developed and that their spiritual condition in tbe other life Is to be a continuation of this, and that to remain at a stand-still there will result in a similar condition when the veil is lifted that sepa­rates the two worlds. The children of to-day, as Is often said, will be the men and women of to-morrow. We have. then, to some extent the making of that fature. Positive influence must boexerted by us to qonnteract that whiph 1b exerled from an opposite quarter- upon those embryo men ahd women. What can be more foolish than ihe «Urtenieut so often made by those who have been through t .e mill of theokwy, that we must not teach our child

aright on the high way of life.' It 1« of the first^ltnportance. Then why this lethargy whim, seemingly, lias settled upon us? Spir­itual philosophy underlies all other philo­sophies, and the young mind easily compre­hends the axioms which the old man cannot embrace. They are truths which, if well un­derstood, will be the foundation of a -useful life. Let ns not wait for some one else to turn the sod, but with bands to the plough, break the ground and get ready to hcAv the seed which BpirltuaUsta, as they are about to cele­brate their 3fith Anniversary, must have In abundance. There is a great deal of rubbish with which we have nothing to do and with which the mind of youth should not bo tram­meled. We need less of this masquerading and more of the soul of Spiritualism; fewer cheap shows and more of the beautiful truth which will bring comfort rather than disgust to the heart of the mourner.

Hut the child is my theme, and to do for the members of tbe rising generation whatis practical. Is onr object, I would like to have a column otyour noblo paper devoted to the interest of th« children. To no better use, in my opinion, cohjd that space be devoted. It will be a long wayteward» thu millennium when we can truthfully*^:

"Th# da wain* *»i! from theSsjetinir ejea.Uoofci Him n clearer, steadier rS*,. ’

Volumes can be written upon this subject, as there have been heretofore, and what more filling place than In your own progressive paper, In which to teach the child how to walk alone and to so walk ns to draw from its surround I ops nsi the road of life njich ele­ments as will conduce to Its own trite happi­ness and consequently moral and spiritual advancement? We would learn how to tram the young. This lesson the world has not yet learned. In proof of this, behold the crime that stalks over the world to-day I We need not only to learn how to train the young, but wo need to know how to control ourselves, so that wa may ba competent to lead others. God bless the worker« in this cause, whether they be found In Lyceums or Sunday Schools, and whether we luvoke it or not, n blessing will come to those so employed. We must culti­vate tho love principle and baptize the young with it, and the fruit of our labors will be seen In the beautiful flowering of a finer type of humanity, as those now young «hall enter upon the active duties of life. We will by doing our duty In this respect consecrate our children:' ' /

“Not. a» la otdea timM, to doaili,TotirrmK life, or dJirit*om» day»;Hut unto tMMutr. eocKln«**, truth.To all blsli ibouchln and noble wars."

If I have the'opportunity, I will lay be­fore your readers what may come to me from the child-world, wherein are the brightest el­ements of the lovc-llfe. where the sweetest aud most fragrant blossoms lu God’s garden are found. Wo who have passed through the period of childhood, need to breathe this pure oxygen of love; tor In our passage through the world we have contracted disease, and art at the best,bundles of prejudices, anjiaoed to become as little chHdtfm a y faf'aa possible, by living in the cRHtTelement. We can leaf» Of them, oftentimes, more than we can impart to them. We will not put them aside, but will draw them to our hearts, read in their young eyes what wo seo reflected (ourselves!), listen to their often prophetic words, and thank God for children whose Influence la ex­alting. teaching us what many of us have nearly forgotten^what is love.

Boston. Mass.____________

long sleep. I found myself lying on a lied in a strange room, alone. The sound of voices came In through the open window and front the hails, where people were constantly paus­ing to aud fro. They were talking of u great disaster, of dead bodies lying in heaps on the sand waiting to he claimed, and of oilier« bd- ing burled in a trench. There was something about county lines, of eoroner’u cpiarreling over fees, of thieves In boat« at night strip­ping the drowned bodies, and tearing ring» from fingers and oars. Those monotonous voice« were forever talking about that one thing.

Well, what if they were dead? The dead were at rest. Wliat had 1 to do with that shipwreck? Why did not some one come to­me? What was I doing here In this strange room? Why was I «o stiff and sore, so fall of pain, so weak I could not move? 1 fell asleop again, and wbep I awoke still the same voic­es were talking about poor drowned bodies, thieve«, coroners and boat«; and then came a dim recollection that I had known some­thing about that shipwreck. It all came back to me clear and distinct. Soon afterward a man came with broth and nourishing food, of which I ate with a relish, while he answered my questions. This was Saturday, apd I had left Buffalo on the Sunday preceding. Lloyd's Tavern was fifteen miles from the city of Cleveland. I must get up. llpw could 1 He hero? J must get into the air. r must go home. Home! Why, at home doubtless they mourned me as dead, 1 had been dead for days to them. I begged the man to bring me some clothes. He brought some old garment« much too Inrge for me, with an old black slouched hat, and helped me to dress, for I was too weak to stand alone. He then placed me comfortably in an easy chair and told me to rest awhile. At length, feeling rested and stronger, I arose and moved slowly across the room toward the open door.

I saw a gray-headed .old man, coming to­ward me, poorly dressed, with an old hat in his hand, and a stubby board on his^face. I thought that perhap« he also was ode of the shipwrecked. I spoke to him kindly, but he did hot reply, and still advanced. I stopped; he stopped also. Wo stared at each other. I spoke again: Ifcs Hpo moved, butonoi nsound left them. I drew forth a chair and eat down. Ue sat flown Abo, staring half fearfully at me. Great God! was inat myself? That white hair—could it be mine? No, It was a wig. Some one was playing a joke upon me. I put up my hand. No, it would not come off.

I went back and iaydown upon my bed,very weak, utterly dl-hi-artened. Later I was driven slowly down to the beach, and I saw all that wns left of the steamer—a few blackened «pars and the charred hull. Many people were examining, either from ourloNlty or for Iden­tification. the bodies as they were brought In. There was a long trench In thesanfl.ln which were placed those not identifled. it appeared that the steamer had been wrecked on a coun­ty Ijne, and two coroners were there quarrel­ing over the bodies and claiming their fees.

My friend helped me out of the wagon, and seated me on a rock close by—a most forlorn

-and unkempt figure I must have presented. Two men stood near where I sat, and one of them spoke of having received another tele­gram from Cleveland inquiring If the body of the man K.-- fnul yet been found. A cnlil chill ran down my buck. Producing the telegram, he read the description:

"Twenty-eight years of age, 5 feet 0 luche« In height, weight about ISO pounds, fair skin, blue eyes, black hair, small hands and feet, mole on left shoulder. Has the body been found? Hove it properly prepared tor burial, and send to H.—.Cleveland

1 was "K„" and they were hunting for my body to prepare it for burial! My friend came back just then, and I begged to be token to the hotel at once. 1 must start for home. I said, as soon as possible. Arriving nt the house, 1 -uw a carriage and horses standing before Ihe door. Four gentlemen came out and agreed to take me with them.

1 learned from their conversation that my companions had been sent out from Cleveland

A Ntorj of Shipwreck on Lake Erie.

A writer in the N. Y. Niro, give« a graphic account of his escape from the steamer Grif­fith, plying betweon Toledo and Buffalo in Jane. 1851. After narrating the burstiagout of tho flame and his plunge into the water, lie proceeds:" ljfa s not an experienced swimmer, but I

had pawed, as I had judged, nearly half the distance to the shore, when a death like cold- . ness and numbness came creeping over me, to identify the dead aud find tbe living. EachAll tho life I had left seemed centred In my he'ad, which felt like a ball of fire. I found that I was turning round and round in the water, now catching glimpses of the burning, ship, to which even yet a few human beings were clinging, and now of the beach. Could I ever reach it? Was U worth while to strug­gle any louger? Every movement caused in­tense pain fit my cheat and lungs. It seemed so eAsy to die now. ^

I ceased)all efforts and raised-lny eyes for a last look at tho sky. I was struck by a pecu­liar golden haze of the atmosphere, and the air seemed,filled with human forms hovering over the drowning. The air was filled w{th them, and close beside mo I recognized my father, brother and other friends who had died many years before. They called me by name. They pressed closely around me, tell­ing me to struggle on and they would aid me —that my work was not done—that I could not be spared yet.

A little strength came back to me. I re­membered that I must be more than half way to tho shore. The water could not be over five feet deep. I let myself down-, and felt the sand under me. Aided by my spirit friends, whose hand« and presence were aa real to me as any human touch. I crept on my hand« and knees on the eand for some distance, ris­ing often to breathe. Becoming too weak for tills, with my heavy head constantly falling backward, I sank to the bottom, and drew my body with my arm« near and nearer to the shore, rising to the eurfoce as oftefl aa necea miry, A man was lying on the butch, one of the few who ever reached it. When he saw me feebly struggling, lie crept down to the water's edge, and, reaching out his bands, tried to aid me. I slowly crept np a little way out of the water, but he was so Weak that felling backward, I Would lose my hold and sink again.

A farmer mej us end almost carried me across the fields to a low two-roomed log cabin. In the smaller room, containing two beds, I was at last permitted to Ho down. The long black ne?k of a bottle was inserted between my lips, and Id rank and drank until It was gentiy removed. Tho dranght warmhd me.

I alternated between consciousness and up- con «clous ness, t u t remember much that pass­ed about me. When I awoke, more people were coming in, bearing a woman, ana thev were saying she was the only woman eared, I beard them say that eight men swam ashore and twenty ware saved in a boat. Only twen­ty-eight saved ont of four hundred! Toward evening they put tw all In a heavy lumber

Mr», Abby Morton Diaz, the versatile auth­or of Children's Story Books and -President of the W nw nti's Educational and Industrial Eitlhn of Boston, has recently given a aeries of " Household Talks," In Buffalo, N.Y., which are highly commended by the hearers. Her subjects are ilouBework, The Entertainment of Company, the Value of Woman's Time,itupany, ____ ______ ____Strength. Our Work for Humanity, etc. Mrs. Diaz is known as one devoted to the beat in­terests of her sex, and as having a genius for common souse. \

A woman has been tending a (twitch at a railroad Junction near Macon, Ha., since 1802. having succeeded her deceased husband who was Hwitclimau for ten years previous.

A new arocation has been added to woman's list -thnl of ft professional duster. It has grown to be a regular profession In handsome city houses. Ordinary domestics are lia­ble to break delicate ornaments, and they have not the time and skill to dust thorough­ly. These "dusters'* are generally women who have seen better days. One of them de­scribes her work In this way:

*■ Sbe must be Hgbt-footea. quick and strong In her wrists and arms. To visit a dozen houses In the forenoon before callers arrive and dost and arrange things Is no child's play. The remuneration? Well, a dollar or seventy-five cents a visit, sometimes more. Orders are given to the dustere to chauge the arrangement of the appointments every time they come. A duster must know how to lake hold of .every sort of knick-knack and how to move It safely. She must know just what sort of brush to tore for every sort of dusting. She must have several brushes, and «he must not be careless or slapdash for an Instant.’*

Here Is eUll another opening, though |a narrow one. A letter from Philadelphia, con­tains the following: ** Three maiden «Istere who live In Philadelphia, enjoy a comforta­ble livelihood from the manufacture of dolls* clothes. They have a little shop on Eighth street, where they keep a stock of garments fitting tbs popular dolls. Every article 1» made as though it were for actual use. They take orders for dolls* trousseaux, and at Chrlattnas-tJme are ho busy they employ ten seamstresses. These ladies tried faithfully to make a living by teaching, one being an excellent musician and the other a fair art­ist. They failed In getting work, and next tried sewing—failed again; finally a lady gave them some dolls to dress for a Christ­mas-tree, and was so delighted with, the lit­tle garments that she secured them other work-of the same kind, and now they bay» all they can attend to In this Jenny Wren employment."

The National Woman Suffrage Convention which''met in Washington early In March, oootns to have made an excellent Impression on the public, It yvas managed by those old pioneers of that work, MIm Anthony and Mrs. A. S. Dnniway, and others. There were dele­gates from nearly every State ln-tbe Union, and the attendance at the sessions was always good. There were letters read from prominent people in England and France.such as Fran­cos Power Cobbe. the daughters of Cobden, and Mrs. C. B.Wllbourof Paris. Mrs, Stanton who has taken up herabode at her childhood’s home at Johnstown. fCT., was not able to be pres­ent, The epeeche» were generally’excellent. The whole delegation were received eourte-

- aaaiY at the White House on the last morn- ■ingof their stay, by the President, and a re­

ception was also given them at the KJggA House. Mrs. A. 8, Dpatway, chief editor of the New Northwest of Oregon, was extended a reception at the Hoffman Hqu» In New York, a few days after, MsheVvwed through the city on her way, with other~d«legategi to the suffrage convention at Albany. xK aa a brilliant and happy occasion for the veteran writer and speaker.

CORRSSPOIiPBiCX,The following is an extract from a private

letter from a student of the Harmonial Phi-

myway of thinking, the Harmonial

Philosophy Is the flower, or rather, the ripen­ed fruit of all philosophy and religion. All that I have heard or read of man*« past re- searches lu respect to these, seems so Incom­plete and unsatisfactory. The Ilarmontal Philosophy, however, 1« so-all-embracing and perfect, that all who ntudy it with reverent' and prayerful attention, will find it adapted- completely to their physical and spiritual needs. Truth-loving persons will receive, during their researches, baptisms from the Divlin Heart, and have evidence both of truth's power and of their kinship with the Divine Spirit—the loving Father and Mother of all."

A letter from Pari« says:“ On the 22nd of February, we had a patri­

otic gathering, which was a great auocesa. The young people da need, a ud among the fav­ors were little hatchets and cherries, as well as the trl-eotor emblems, ami other national trinkets. You have read how Mrs. Mackay, the wife of the California millionaire, dared to destroy her picture, painted by tbecelebrated Melsaonnler. The canvass was but eleven inches by sixteen, but, like all his canvasses, it contained an Immense amount of labor. For other portraits of this size he had received $9.000; for this ho demanded $11.000. It was not the price which was objected to. It-was that the likeness did her injustice. He de­clined to retojich his work; so, after a good deal of correspondence, Mrs. Mackay quietly paid his bill, and then burned the picture. The French artists are indignant at the loss, hut they forget the treatment of Meisaonnter was not kind, to say the least.

Our traveler lu Egypt flndq Coliro poor, squalid, sad. and the people too dejected t<? even care for defeat. At heart they must be­lieve in the triumph of Mahdl, for, he Is of their own faith, while the Englishman is an infidel- When the men go to war, the women and children wall for them aa though they were already dead. The soldier has nothing to send Ills wife and child, consequently wife and child must be Ignored^ What Is Christ­ian England doing?

How long sebniH the distance between us and nur loved ones across thl« dreary waste of waters? Somewhere I have read something like this: ** Words are the tights of friend­ship. Letters are the lips of love, the load stones that, by rare attractions, make souls meet and molt and mix, and in aweet com­binations stand henceforth In endearing re­lation«.** And I believe it Ifl so possible to make the thread of our dally lives join those of our friends that nothing is lost by the dis­tance. Letrtrue friends come Into one Anoth­er’s Uvea; be they dull or pleasant, it Is all the same, so far as the friendship may he con­cerned. Ah! friendship, affection, In tegrity- how much they mean! How they reveal the »pir[t of the individual.

Spontaneous Spiritual Phenomena Chihuahua, Mexico.

in

Tu tM editor of lb« Itolttto I'tlUfMbbiol JmrnitcIn the spring1 of 1883, I found myself in

the City of Chihuahua, Mexico, which 1» the first place of any importance In Northern

/Mexico after leaving Paso del Norte on the M. C- R. K. While sauntering about the streets at an early hour one morning 1 heard a voice calling me by name. 1 looked with surprise in the direction of the voice, and saw a gentleman standing by the open door of a house, wrapped in a heavy clonk, for the morning air was cool. He was looking di­rectly toward me, and feeling sure that it was he who called. I drew near and was again addressed. I found the gentleman to beSenor V---- whom I had known ten or elevenyears before in Denver, Colorado, but who tteveral years later wemled his way to the south, and I had never expected to meet nlm again. The encounter was certainly agree­able for both of us, and 1 was not only Invit­ed Into the house but hidden, a welcome to Its hospitality during my stay In the city, which f gladly embraced, for good accommo­dations were both.of difficult and costly at­tainment at that time.

Senor V---- has had quite an eventful life.Bom In the northern coast of Africa.of Span­ish parents, while his father was serving his country In some public capacity.be claims to be a Spaniard; though from the fact of his coming to Denver from Lima. South Ameri­ca. I always took him to be Peruvian. But it seems that while he was yet a chiUllbln par­ent« emigrated to Pern, and there the differ­ent member« of his family have always held Important places of trust lo the Peruvian

fovernment. X*1® wife of Sr. V-----also has aistory quite aa remarkable, for being of En­

glish birth and parentage, hSr parent« emi­grated to Kqw Zealand when sbe was a.chlld. Driven from thence by the Mauri insurrec­tion they took refuge In Peru, and she and the other members of the family grew up and were educated In that country, so that Mrs. V---- Is a« much at home In the Span­ish longue a» in her native language. An old­er sister married an American, who In the coarse of time returned to the United Statesand came to Colorado "in the early day." This was the Incentive that brought Mr,V— -to Denver, a few years later.

8r. V-----Is a brilliant talker la his ownlanguage, and iTperfect, walking story b«ok. His extensive travels and particularly among, the 6‘aucAot and other tribes of South Amer­ica, have furnished him with an Inexhausti­ble fund of rare and carious lnformatlon,and If he could only write aa rapidly as he can talk, he haa material for many a book of ab­sorbing interest. I listened by the hour to his curious details of adventure and observa­tion and ail the time wishing that I were a stenographer to takedown his words.

Notwithstanding his English wife, Senor V----- ha« never acquired the English Jao-

K except In a very imperfect way, aud It« tue except Jo cases of actual neces­

sity. Many -years absence from a Spanish speaking -conntfy had made me somewhat rusty in that language, bnt- he insisted on

nothing else and all his dla-riy ___ _course Was in the same to me.

By some mean« or other our conversation turned upon ^spiritual phenomena several times during jny stay, and from circumstan­ces related In Senpr V-----'lexperieace, I wassatisfied that he was anconscioualy an im- prtiknonal medium, at least. I gave accounts of phenomena' that I had witnessed daring tny life, and both Senor aud Senora V — listened with great interest to the recital. They had never witnessed anything of the kind themselves, and heard but little, and consequently conld pas» no «pinion.

Several weeks passed away and I tookl«Av> of my friends for a farther journey south. After mfhy days of painful travel, which I may at sometime recount to you, I reached Zacatecas, a eltyof about 70.000 Inhabitants.

p , 7 -was true, and if so to request me to write to him. which I did.

This brought mo a letter from him on busi­ness. Jh the course of which he said that he had addressed me a long letter ut Zacatecas lu answer to mine, und regretted that 1 should not have received it, for In It he' had given me a long account of ghostly doings and how the spirits (?) had been-having their own way with him.

In my reply I told him that I, also, regret­ted not having received his letter, but hoped that he would repeat his account fur ] was "just dying” to know what it could all Ire about. He has since continued writing on business, but failed every time to tell me the story; but continuing to insist on hi« repeat­ing it, ho bus done so In a very brief manner In a letter just received, which 1 will trans­late for the benefit ,of the readers of the J ournal:

"You say you wish to know what the spir­its had to do with me. I have already writ­ten a long letter (ou business) but a« I do not wish to leave you longer In snspenslve curi­osity, 1 will say. without entering into any of the particulars, that a shire that I own in one of the best ml rim in ltd» State, wa*tpre- nented me one day by a man for no other rea­son than a caprice he had taken of liking nnd admiring roe. The next day we expect­ed (o visit thn mine and would start at about four o'clock In the morning,and we made all necessary arrangement« for the trip. The man hud a bad cough, aud when he -walked, dragged his feet along the floor, so that one couirl know of bis approach without seeing him. simply by hearing Ids cough and his peculiar step. He carried, also, a cane with an Iron ferule, the only one of the kind tu Chihuahua, with which: he mad« a noise on the pavement not to be mistaken for any­thing jsUe. On the night of the first day mentioned, at about half-past nine o'clock. I was preparing to retire in tin* room that you occupied while here, when 1 heard this man coming with Ids cough, his dragging foot­steps and his clinking walking »tick. He knocked at the door three times in a manner peculiar to him. but I made no response, feel­ing a something preventing mo from doing ho, but I opened wide the door, however, and found—nobody I

"At four o'clock the next morning, the hour at which we were to »tart on out journey, his son comes to the door and knocks JuhI as I had heard the knocking the night before, lie gave his name and ! bade him enter. Ou entering he embraced me, saying; "L'nco- iiticmfc V: a Dio* a ru am too, sir, V——” (Commend your friend lo (iod. Mr. V.) That friend was the young man's father, who had died of a cerebral attack at half-past nine o’clock—thq very hour at which I heard him come to my door with his strange cough, his shuffling step and hta noisy cane. He was sixty years of age and tin name wan Norber- to Guerra.

"What do -you say to this? Had spirit« anything to do with it? You know more about such things than I do. The full par­ticular» of the affair would astonish you.

I think this Is not an unusual or unheard of occurrence, and T wish that some one knowing of a similar circumstance, would write it out for the J oursu . that I may sepd it to my friend V-----in Chihuahua. Mexico,

Vs Tile Mormon fjucsllrin.

The Index of the 28th ult., ha» sNqligthy article by T. W. Curtis, entitled ‘“ Church nml State’ an neon through the Mormon QuoHlfon.** Mr.Curtis proposes to settle the Mormon ques­tion bv an amendment to tho National Con atltutlon, declaring •* marriage to be a civil contract, and making It uniform throughout tbc l-ulon." *

'lb every marriage two parties are luleresK ed. The first party 1» the man .and womrflr who enter Into the marriage relation. AH men and women will not look upon marriage from the same stand-point, because they are different In education, In religion, In their views of society and government; but prob ably the larger part of educated people look upon marriage as the most Important and most sacred relation upon which man or wo-

joan can enter. It has more to do with the happiness, with the physical ami moral pro­gress of tho contracting parties, than any other relation. They who so regard it'w ill naturally desire that the marriage ceremony shall bo a religious ceremony, and that it be surrounded and hallowed by religious as­sociations.

There are, however, many people who look upon marriage a» a civil contract only. They have, perhaps, no faith In God, In a future life, In religion. Perhaps they have broken with all religion, and utlerly reject all rellg ions fofms.

The second party Interested la every mar­riage Is the commanlty, the Slate. The State la the protector of the rights and property of all Its citizens, both men and women, and al­so of mil the children born within Its limits. In every marriage contract the right» of the man and woman making the contract are In­volved. hence the State, as the protector of these rights, Is interested. Prom erery natur­al, healthy marriage, children are a probable and desirable result. The State, ha the pro­tector of these children, is interested In the marriage. Moreover, as the State is directly intereeted In the physical, mental and moral character of Its citizens, It has a direct Inter­est tn every marriage and id the Issne of every marriage.

Now every Indirldnal In the State has a right to hie or her religious belief and. prac­tice, so far os that belief and practice do not. Interfere with the rights of others. If one couple look« upon marriage a» a religious rite and desires to have the marriage take place under religious sanctions and by a re­ligions ceremony, such couple baa the right to such ceremony, and the State has no right to fprbld It. If another couple has no religi­on, and looks upon marriage purely os a ci vil contract, such couple has the right Jo eater li^o the marriage relation by acknowledging the Civil contract. In this case the State has d o right to compel a religions ceremony as a marriage rite.

Now, what follows? Evidently this. The State has the right to, Insist on the civil con­tract tn every case. It has the right to de­clare that no marriage Is legal unless the civil contract has been entered Into. I t has the right to prescribe some simple form of civil contract to be entered Into by the mar­rying parties before each officer as the State may designate. The State may designate the officers of justice or the regularly recognized teach ere of religion os the parties before whom this civil contract Is to be acknowledged .Hav­

ing done tills the State ha«, In bo far, protect­ed the p a r t w h o make tho contract, and the children that may be the Issue of tho mar­riage.

Now all parties who look on marriage ns especially sacred, who desire that there »hall be thrown around it the hallowed associations of religion, can have such religion» service' as they may desire, In addition to tho civil contract.- They can have this religious cere­mony lit their churches or In their homes; they can make the service as simple or as elaborate as their religion or their tauten may dictate. Tho State, having attended to the civil contract, by which the civil rights of nil parties are secured and protected, Interfere» not ,ut-utl with these further religiqpa rite».

“The free Intercourse between all the States of the Union, the constant Interchange of population between the State», makes a uni­formity of mnrrluue uVul dllorce laws of the utmost Importance. it-Le a subject which the States In their natlouul capacity, through the national Congress, can settle much more justly and equitably, than can be done by the Individual States. Wo think that Mr. Curtis’s article 1» wise In recommending that marri­age shall be made uniform throughout the States and Territories, Such action would effectually settle the subject of polygamy In Utah. It would also guard against troubles which may arise on this question in the fu­ture; ami It would remove the incnnrtlutoncy nn dills grace under which we now labor from the diversity of divorce legislation In thedlf ferent States.

The New Creed,

Knowledge of a Future Life.

A late mimberttf the New York Nun con­tained a communication from one who bad doubt» about the reality of n future life, ami If there were a life beyond the grave, whal were Its conditions and employments. The Rev. C. W.-l’owell undertook to instruct him a» follows:

1,0.1» won! Ifre ili alt tb it 1D| human te-lUffMii know, am) mao1» belief m on cornrtjxmit with tbl*. No Amount of dkw>; o u pu retinae eternal felle tir, nur can im?

“ ‘ (¡ml will open the truth let Mi mind.tor him dallr, thatMr. FowclVfcaehcrt falsely in several direc­

tions. "God's word," by which ho means the Bible, doc» not reveal "all that auy human being can know." It has often been said, that whllB the Blblo. record oh It Is of the aspira­tion of the ages, suggests Immortality, it nowhere authoritatively declares It, ezeopt once, where Jesus Bays, "that where 1 Din ye may bq also.” It Is not necessary to verify this opinion now, Suppose the Bible does reveal immortality, what does it say of its laws, conditions, and of what makes up this Imujortal life? The only hints, beyond gilt tering generalities, a vague blaze of glory, are to be fouud Iff the book of Revelations, and what a miserable revelation It Is. Actors In an eternal pageant nro the lyiVed—noth­ing more. No Individual bouI 1» mentioned ils being In heaven, or being anything else but an atom in the huge mass. It is well that, as our reverend friend says above, money cannot purchase heaven, nor Church Insure it, for the heaven of the Bible Is not worth purchasing. As the Bible gives no hint of varied employment in heaven, detail» no circumstances of life, Ignores individual perception and operation, we should advise anyone who needs information about the certainty and nature of the future life, to seek better means of information than can lie found in the book. Organize a spiritual circle in your own home, and you will find In time, beyond all doubt, that there 1» a future life. Continuing the Investigation, the law of that life wilt be clearly, distinct­ly unfolded; heaven will cease to he ailoat- Ing Idea of the ages, a thing to be dreamed of, ond be a slate whose existence is proved, and whose progressively Increasing joys may bo won by all. And for this an Inquirer needs not that any should pray for him. It will be well that he pray for himself, for earnest aspiration will exalt, his spiritual state, widen the range of bis spiritual vision and make him know more than Would be possible.without such help; Ndone who has once received the absolute proofs of a lift) continued beyond the grave ever doubts after, e^er needs priest or sacred word to ^atabll»h the glorious truth that for him theiw Is no death. Just where the Bible falls iu revela­tion, Spiritualism comas In with proof, so clear -and positive, that pone other is or ever will be, needed.

Ih Mrs. Wheeler a Genuine Medium I

This seems to be.one of those thing» “no fellah can find out,” The lieghter and Mail of Bee Moines, Iowa, are In fierce fight over theViatter. A valued friend has supplied na with "tho' documents,” careful perusal of which seems to.esUblish the /act, that Mr», W. Is a genuine clairvoyant and does cure. She fnils, too, sometimes—they all do. But the Mail, the -attacking party, while full of dark suggestions or evil motives, pretend­ed manifestation», complain» that she does not adrertloe, etc., produces no verified facts. Its article Is a huge sneer which prove* noth­ing. On the - whole, there seems as yet to have been no case made out against Mrs. W.; we phall hold her to be a genuine medium, worthy of trust, until something like evidence shall reach us that she la unworthy. As to her previous life, her present moral status, there are hints and doubt* and surmises, but nothing on which to base, a judgment, _JEis_ are especially sorry that thlsfpoint remains unsettled, for the question Is so Important. A heater who la Impure lu thought and life Car­rie* poison In her touch and should be avoid­ed as a private pestilence.

The J ournal has heretofore chronicled the fact that a number of Congregational min later» had been appointed to formulate a new creed. Their report ha» been published, and while, aa It would Ik; of little Interest to our subscribers to rend It. It woulo not be well to publish It, some statement of what this committee has done and how their work has been received, may well be lu order, it wits a siguillcant fact that such a thing as a new creed was needed; the confession was Implied that the old creedi had outlived their useful­ness. Another fact of oqnnl Importance 1» revealed now, that this body of minister» has not expanded the domain of dogma, but re duct'd It, The document is conspicuous for It» omission»; tod only this, but the fact Is recognized, at least by some, that no creed can long endure unchanged amid a people of active and progressive thought. The Chris­tian R egister says:

"Ona-'of the strongest impressions which the new creed makes Is that it will have to be rewritten before a great while. Wo do not believe that the pessimism of the twelfth article can be retained as a final Interpreta­tion of Christianity.*'

It also adds: " The creed 1» a purely theo­logical one, and Is os unsatisfactory as such compromises usually are."

Of course,all the religions papers and most clergymen have something to »ay about this new thing. The Christia n at Work ap­proves It In general, and thinks:

" It will tend to lessen the Importance of subsidiary and Qou-essentlal doctrine; It will tend to greater freedom from tho liter» scrlp- tn of confession and standard, while yet it declares the fundamental, essential truths or a Christianity which lias suffered In the pa»l In n» marked degree from attempting to prove too much as from the assail Its of the disbeliever or the shortcomings of its disci­ples." •

The New York Times objects to Its teach­ings:

" In regard to the doctrines of the Holy Trinity, of the divine decrees, and of the au­thority of Scripture, the new creed marks a long step In the direction of liberalism; and fifty year» ago its framers w ould have beeu tried for here»y and deposed from the Con­gregational ministry.”

The Ch ristia n Union «ays: ■" We wish ourselves, iudeed, that the creed

had departed bulb in uuinuEir and form more rascally from the creed» of the past. Like those, It Is analytical. Intellectual, definite.”

Advices from all sources confirm the view that the new creed Is wt lcomed because of the " liberalism N the Time* objects to, and the fact that It does not Cliitiu to bb an au­thority, b u t" consensu» of oplnlqn,” These make all the significance of the movement, Of­fensive doctrines repressed or toued down, a Utterly to accept or reject tho doctrines that are presented,this 1» much to rejoice at. Doubt­less the wotk will go on; there will oi neces­sity be other revlslfln*. and while we rejoice with Prof. Swing, that a " reform in theology has actually begun,” we are only glad be­cause beginning prophesies further advance. What Is yet to be done is summarized in the following eloquent passage-token from a ser­mon on the new creed by Prof. Swing. ‘ , .

"Whit, the modern church must do, there­fore. burnt to ask the age what Its religions or sinful may prefer, hut simply to ask for the religion of Christ? For, while all relig­ion mu»t .possess much that 1« indefinite, much that Is mysterious, and much that Is above all research, It wilt be found that lu comparison with all other »yatema that of Christ fall» upon our earth like a sunbeam. When you say that mind Is motion and lhat the universe 1» full of ideaif; and that all ex-ternal things are photographs of an eternal

Platonism; when yod behold allidea, you have 1thing« coming and going by the forces of chemical action, by the rpstflutlon of forces,

* Beyond the Gates.1’

you have materialism"; i/ngn you declare the blades of gra»» and the bird», fishes, boosts and man to be parts of the all-ia-God, you- Tinve pantheism; when yon behold man a» tho victim of eternal decree» of the Almighty, a creature foreordained to eternal sorrow or endless happiness, you have-fatalism; when you hear of evolution and dissipation of forces and of unity passing into variety and of variety returning to unity with the help of persistent force, you have a bottomless philosophy which reaches from Lucretius to Herbert spencer; but when you hear that voice In Palestine saying. * There is an in­finite God, our Father, man was createdby H1» power and love, man must do the ns ‘ -light, mint love his neighbor, mast devel op all the good lu this life and then pas» to Immortality, you have Christism—the sim­plest and most brilliant system ever unfold­ed to mSWrtnd, How refreshing to turn from the non ms of Fichte, from the ’ Persistent Kraft1 ’ of naturalists, from the ‘unthinkable ’ oRjpencer, and from the black night of the atheists to the words, ‘ Otir Father who art In Heaven.*"

Rev, Phillips Brooks' eaya that "men do Lot dread to bolleve^heyJong to believe.” From such a source, of course, this sententious remark Is soundly orthodox^ and yet we con- »tantly hear reiterated that tho crying slu of this age, 1» unbelief. Now, what Is the tronbfe? Do men want to believe too much, or do they believe too little? Bay what you will about the skepticism oft^eage, believ­ing too- much is far more detrimental to human advancement than believing too lit­tle. It la fashionable to »peak of "scientific men" as the types of doubters, and yet even they are the moat believing. All the hypoth­eses and theories of science are taken on faith. Tho atom on which they build their entird fabric has never been seen or demon­strated to o*|»t—la abort, la a dream. The theologians build their word-castles on a fog- bank of myth. The great hindrance of the "spiritual movement turn not been skepticism but'tlrivaU-believiiLg camel-swallowers, who, rush la where the wise Bcarce dare to tread, and proclaim loud-mouthed their absurd con­jecture* and Illy observed facts. We want belief that can give a cause for Its being,and not that which Is a faith Id thing» unseen.

No more beautiful stream waters the Gar­den Stale than Rock River, and no such other handsome city Is to be seen on its banks ns Rockford. In this delightful place, the seat of many Industrie», the home of refinement and learning, there came one July day a sweet girl baby. She came seemingly at an unpropitious time; npallof gloom enveloped the country; grim vlsaged war was raging; a once peaceful and prosperous people were thirsting for each other’» blood. Bull Run and long yean? of »ufferlng anil warfare were to follow. But no shadow of all this touched the baby, though later on, when »he had ju»t learned to lisp a favorite uncle’« name, his blood helped to wash the damning blot of slavery from off histountry’s escutch­eon; and frohv the parapet In front of Peters­burg, his brii^o spirit was promoted to a higher life. Ktrft'loped in an atmosphere of, love.no impress of HW dreadfuldays touche ed the child; and thu»7th<)ugh born In life gathering blackness of anarbhy and slaugh­ter, her sweet soul only refiected tho benofi cent result« which followed after the »moke of battle hud cleared away and the rich warm blbod of uu innumerable haft had been offered ou the altar of human freedom.

In the »»me year that the soldier-uncle gave up hi» life while grasping Ills cduntry’» colors and leading his men, little May—that wo» her uome-was transplanted with the household god» from tho banks of tho Rock t<> those of a no less beautiful river, the Fox, along whose border» »ho was to grow and blossom into a beautiful human flower, whoso fragrance »hould sweeten the lives of alt who knew her. Her father’s idol, May waswllh him much, and thus »he was known to a wider circle than often happen«. Al­ways vivacious, yet gentle and modest, »he wa» a universal favorite. Many and many a time have we seen her enter the door,- ¿nd. like a »unburst, brighten the jaded; worn faces of a car-fall of business men, who after a day of care in the city, were on their way to meet th itr owu little one« In country homes. Somehow her father always seemed to conduct his train belter and make the trip pleasanter for Ills passengers, when his darling was aboard.

Thus May grew Into the heart* of thou­sands and into all the graces of mind^aud body which make woman thclovHlcdt,fioliest thing of earth.^AU thaLftffouTT ninthur amt doting father could do to render her life happy was done, and this tbfl girl appreciat­ed, and repaid with filial affection and deep­est devotion; devotion not only to parent«, but to nil Mte virtues which round out ahd complete tho perfect woman.

It 1» the last day oi winter, 1*82. We make one of a joyous company thronging May’s hos­pitable homo at Bt. Charles. Every room Is gorgeous with (lowers; a profusion of gifts lu silver and gold bewilder the eye, tokens of retaetnbrancs from loving friends. May ou­ter« supported by tho oue to whom »ho has given her heart, and then, while the perfume of orange blossoms saturates the sir and Hiteet music gladdens the soul, she extends her hand and receives the token of endless love, the marriage ring, tho minister pro­nounces tho final word, the frleadB proas for­ward eager to congratulate the young couple. And May receive* them all with that winning childish sweetness so characteristic of her girl-life.

A year and a half of happy life has past. May’» hour of maternal trial approaches, hus­band and mother are with her^bnt In this ex­tremityHhe long»for the presence hnd support of her father; he obeys her call, leaves his du­ties and travels twelve hundred mile» to be with her. Another sweet girl baby’s cry 18 heard,and May Is a mother. The adoring fath­er Is a proud grandfather, and returns io his post lu the distant South with a new sense of happiness and the kis» of his darling dangh- ter to treasure until he shall later on meet her,os he hopes, In the full flush of health, the same dear chili, though herself a mother.

Muy has heard the name Virginia—her -mother's name—spoken ao often and so lov­ingly. she thinks it the prettiest name for the baby and the little one Js named in honor of Its grandmother. "Baby Virginia grows bright and strong, and the fond mother wants Its picture; so on a warm sunny March day a journey with the baby is ruado to the photo­grapher’s.

------- /Four days ago the happy young mother se­

cured her little Virginia’s picture. Four days ago this happy family of three, saw the world bright with promise; the affectionate young husband and father gazed with pride upon the dear ones whose welfare was so bound up with hi», and looked forward with pleasure to ihe prospect of long years In which he would tenderly cherish and protect tUein. It is now Sunday afternoon; the young wife lies on Iter bed. hushaud and mother are near, but tho baby la kept away. Only a few hour# be­fore the doctors had declared there was little danger. From whence then came the knowl­edge which waa borne In upon the conscious­ness of this sweet soul to whom the world *&* so full of joy? "Madima, 1 am not afraid to die," said May. “ but f want to see the hgby once more;Jet her cheek touch mine.” The baby was brought and the dying mother with one hand pressing her mouth, and holding her breath that her darling child might not inhale the p o Iboq, embraced it with one arm and pressed Its soft cheek to her forehead —the last touch she was to give it while In mortal form. Then she sent iotfcjo all her friends, mentioning many by name. 0 bow

she longed for her father's kiss, Ju»t one* again before she went. But this could not be; news of her condition had sped to him on the lightning's wlflgst and he was coining to her a» fast ns steam ¿oiild bring him, yet It would be too late, loo late! The night deep­ens and with it the embrace of Death. ’’ Let me rest," say» the.herolc woman. The clock strikes one; Death kisses her Up» and releases the spirit; the tired body is at rest; the fiat«* swing open and May Bros« Davies is welcom­ed to her spirit home by loving friends.

In tho nomenclature of the Church, Mrs. Davies would no't be classed as religion«, for she hod never Joined a religious »ect nor “ professed religion." But In tho highest, best sense of the word »lie was religious. The essential of religion 1» n belief that we ore not »hut up In till» poor Utile moribund husk of Jlesh, cut off from all relations to \he universe, visible and Invisible, except such a* we have towards the animal creation and swiftly-passing mortal« like ourselves; but that there are intelligences and pow­ers, or a supreme intelligence that can affect and help us'spiritually if not physically. And this belief Mrs. Davie» held witlra stead­fast firmness that could not he shaken. In her childhood’s homo she grew up absorb­ing a knowledge of the continuity of life be­yond tho grave; und death had for her no terrors. ’

However little some of her friends may have shared her belief, surefy they must be in sympathy with it.

" For, ever woXrfuUr ihe e a r D tiimltiicTo calcb some token from the »bo<lo*y »j.bcii;Forever tv the full hrwrt rtron tlj jramiinr,Sorae ftorOji of jiro»tl»e from I n ilfjiilmto brnr,"

Yes, the dear wife and mother, the beloved daughter, the angel sister lives; and the sor­rowing friends. If they but listen, will some­times hoar May's musical voice, as It come* across the mysterious river of death, whis­pering In melodious accents of affection:

Lent.

Just nowour friends of the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches are having their an­nual spasm of humiliation. Marriages are forbidden, or at least discouraged; the thea­tre Is tabooed; parties prohibited; there is much of fasting (sometimes in the shape of oxponsivellsh dinner«); much moLcof church- going than usual. All this In commemora­tion of the fust of Jesus for forty days. What­ever nmy be said of tho reason given for the ohservancfythe thing itself ha« good point». Restraint la diet will probably tend to bodily health; the constant recognition of the fact (at- least for forty days) that every day Is holy, must »iirely bo adapted to produce a higher degree of spiritual vitality, and the fish diet, traditionally said to be good for the brain, may give a vigor to mental operations, resulting. It may bo, in inoV* stupendous hats, and more gorgeous dresses fur the com­ing Easter time, with some, and a more pro­nounced activity, a keener pursuit of gAln with others. * .

If only one coaid afford to have a business Lent in each year; If the overworked brail» of the busy editor could have its forty days of rest, how much longer-lived he might be, and how much sweeter hia life would be, how much more vigorous and clear hi» thought. If some of our business men, who are rich enough to take all needed vacations, would but deem it a sacred doty to themselves to fast and cease from their chief delight for forty day», Uq> yearly outcome would not be less, but the Increase of enjoyment and of capacity to enjoy, would be Indefinitely more. As a people we work too fasi and too long, and take too little rest between the activi­ties which have only been suspended 'berause of exhaustion. The Lent of our church friends Is a step In the right direction, ¡tod the l<toa is worthy of larger application. \

A ilorcti years hro. more or le»». when the lucrative business of bonne materialization was in its infancy, Harry did a thriving busincfa in New York City, until one sorrowful day he was brought.to grief and thoroughly exponed hy prominent Spirit- uallsts of that city, Malcolm Taylor hud been with Mm. Intt with Scotch shrewdness divined the catastrophe in time to escupe being mixed up in it. and Inter on reaped a harvest by couching Harry Hastian for years. In-the same line of trade. Gordon fluding conditions uncongenial came West, hut soon found Chicago an unhealthy place for his work nml (¡gain turned h|s face eastward, finally settling .in Philadelphia. Here for­tune again smiled on him. Thomas It, Haz­ard, J. M. Roberts -and other gobeawyehe» helped to dwell hie eoWere; and Imig accounts of the wonderful manifestations appeared In the various organs of the frauds and fanat­ics.

'Tb»-*ip<Hure cyclone which started in Chicago on liist thanksgiving eve, swept eastward along the seaboard, as far ntfrth ns Bangor, Maine, then crossed the ocean,where after exhibiting great force in Vienna, it turned westward and touching the American coast at Boston, found the Cuban consort of the bigamist Bliss, all unprepared for the gale, gathered her in, and dropping her down somewhat disfigured but Btill *'<>H deck," rolled on In its reslsilese, erratic course to the City of Brotherly Love where, with a velocity of one hundred miles per minute, it strnck the unsuspecting Gordon a« he stood arrayed in counterfeit spirit robes before his 'pattern patron, the venerahle Hazard.

A reporter of Hie Philadelphia Pre*t hav­ing, apparently, carefully studied the meth­ods of the ItKMMOTitlLOflOPIltfAT, JOURNAL representativo In his successful exposure of Sir. J. Matthew Shea in this city, as detailed In these columns at JJie time, proceeded to bring about the discdmlRunSm Gordon In the «amo way and with great success. The Preti of the M h contains a four-colnmu ac­count of the affair, from which the follow­ing extracts are made.

After describing Gordon’s quarters at tv.il North Thirteenth St., and giving a pen pic­ture of his confederate, Hugh Kerr, the Free» account continues thus:

Here It wo* that this man, * who -»Oil« the livery Of the court of heaven to serve the devil III," deluded and swindled Ini mired* Gif credulous person* In n nmol «liainefol maimsr.

Then there are Ur. and Mr* Dowaheny, both magnetic p«opte,who llihik they inert children and friends who, la the cnnt of the craft, Hive “ gone over."

Mr. Hazard »ay»: “ W* are not believer», we know; and whal we know comee to u* through the medi­um 6f our »ente»—what we eoe and hear and feel. Vie do not bailen» what Mm* one else tell* ua"

The reporter after visiting Gordon's place, was fully determined by what he saw to leave no atone unturned to expose the vil­lainy. He attended several stances and by his behavior entirely lulled the suspicions of Gordon, If any existed. The following is a portion of his description of the manifesta­tions at one of these preliminary stances:

__ But the most successful apparition was thatof Esther Hazar^. She appear*) In white, with regular features and long.' dark hair, She tin t made a quantity of tarlatan out of »pace, then pulled a hat out of the «ata I «wide her alleged father sod nut It oa her own bend. A light-minded Individual sug­gested that »lie make him a pair of trousers, but tie was at ooas Trownoi down. But her great act was to evolve a beautiful silken mantle, which' cover«! her from top lo toe (It bad been bunched up at her back.) Having performed this feat, and having re­ceived word» of approbation from Mr. Hazard, she fell upon the parental neck and kissed him on hi» ear. Esther then gathered up the duds that »he had dropped and beat a retreat “ Where you git all dem does?" Conky was heard to ask on her entrance Into the cabinet. The ÍACt that Cooky never opened hi» mouth while the »pirita were out In the room was uncommented opon. A little child was made hy the ronjurtat out of a white cloth tied at the mid­dle with a ribbon. Thl* was recognized by young frecen o» a deformed *t»ief, bat It did not leave the

.door of the cabinet. Immediately an Immense figure, six feet high, made hy Gordon on bis toes with a high beam dna, appeared with a nuJesUc stride. The big one followed the little one, forming a con­trast liable to roc vine« a doubler that they could not I,ate teith bc-u peraonmled by the medium. Several figures weft sometimes shown at one time, but they did act leave those curtain* which wen» of the moat material njwUtaow la deceiving the eye, especially In dematsrtaUzatlOD. ‘

TUfc CAPTURE.After giving many details anaecéaaary to

reproduce here, the P rest account continues: Yesterday the reporter of the fr e t i who had been

attending the stances and had become positive that Gordon was a fraud, »wore out a warrant before, Magistrate Lennon, charging H. C. Gordon and Hogh Eerr-witli obtaining money under false and fraudulent rwiwaoUllon» with Intent to cheat and defraud, and conspiracy. Aimed with this toa&ru- nwtjt of Uie t*w and accompanied by Operative Hen­derson oHhe Pinkerton Agency. they weal.toGor- d&tV'rooina. Pnwmtly a joulh with rosy cheek»

“ W«fJ *ooo fix 'em If they were," answered the reporter, with a laugh.

The report then tell« how the lights were turned down tow and the show began:

tu 16» miM nr tbe lwtoi>ltiu«uDei(*i journal iAllow me to eiprefw iny admiration for your Jotru-

kal. I Am not # 8ptr1tualUt,hut great sorrow led me to write to you about X year ago as to some of the very remarkable |»betio|in-na that are from Ume to time published. I decided Hint I would make liornat efforts to find out fur myself whether these thin pi be so, Tho gale Beautiful had opened and through It had passed one of the tno«l gentle, lovely and ftpeem-

' pllsbed wltea and mothers that «Ter tleased n home.1 was almuel crural with grief. She and I had

often talked of tho strange reports of the appear­ance of »plrlls to person# now awl then,and here and there; but, like tho mtlkilck U was olwnym “ Just over yonder.1' We had also read Robert Date Owen'» remarkable books, “ Debatable t^nd;" add “ Foot- fall# on tho Boundaries of Another World.” We also had “ Brltun on Man," and Swwlentwrg’» work* upon our »helve«. With such testimonies, neither of na doubled tbe future life; and besides we both hold the Christian faith.

But when she was so suddenly taken from me my heart aank. and the great question of the reality of the future life arose for a new solution, or at least, for reconsideration. My narrow waa so gnat that it teemed that all 1 bad he)level was loo good lo be tarn. I had for yean known or your J ourhai. I incidentally «aw quoted from It the story of a girl who saw hw mother'* spiilt leave Hi» body. 1 de­cided I would writ* you about II;,that 1 would care-

, fully Investigate the#» strong# report* for myself. i,You sent me a copy of the RhliiiioPhilosoi' hjcal J ourmai. I read It on a hungry child lakes food, and wan oftonlnbod and delighted wllh It# editorial spirit, which excludes carefully nil that trapt fairly well attested, and seeks, only well authenticated fact*.

Allow metoaay that rondo not, perhaps, know• bow many thousands of people would like to In­

vestigate the evidence of Ihe future Ufa, bat they am afraid of Spiritualism and .-tplntuallsto. A lot of traveling impostor* have so vitiated the very name that thousand* fear all Spiritualist* as they do those who aie certain to trick and beat them..

I bare quietly jiunued ns? inquiries and Investi­gation* during this yarn of sorrow, and tho m ulls are full of MtJsfactlon and comfort I have not at­tended a spiritual meeting, proper;-hare not con­sul led a professed medium—In a word, I have only gathered up weil-Altostod phenomena from this one and that one. I llnd that many person* have very Interesting facta heating upon the future life: pro-Êtelle dreams, clairvoyance and the apnehraaoaof

e »plrlts of the departed; fact» that have never been gathered and publiait ml; that the#» fact* be­long b> no denomination, to no sector party; that they are tbs common property of humanity. 1 could gather enough welt-all*»ted, original facia from the most authentic source», in a few years, to make a considerable volume. Surely, God bath not left him­self without witness as lo tho future life of mankind.

I shall continue to gather facts for my own Infor­mation and study, and If you deem them of any benefit to your readers I will give you some of them occMtoually. I am only seeking sober truth for truth's sake find my own comfort. 1 wish nothing with a »hade of falsehood la I t I Like your- manner of editing, for you »how an earnest nradro to keep out all tbat wilt niUlead. In the luveellgatlon of this moat intonating question of the fntnrr life.

orthodoxy should “seek for a sign" of the truth of our thirty of spirit Intercourse, being deeply Inter­ested to know If spirit* can and do Interest them- salve* In thing* pertaining to physical life», and man­ifest themselves in any war to mortal*?

Thoughtful people,whatever their creed, will pon­der upon the qoestlon, nnd bog for light upon it, os they tong for lldlog* from tbat unknown shore where eo many bark* freighted wllh Ihelr love* and hopes have anchored, out of their sight and beyond their ken. Acnoug my arqualnlnnewi In this place are two young ladles, »Utero, who, though zealous Catholic#, have often expressed lo mo and others a deep Interest la tbl* qw'qkin, and anxiety tor accu­rate Information concerning phenomena, etc. Very thoughtful and Inteltigoot, They are yet eo mo eh un­der IheduQuence of the church and priest that they have failed to avail themselves of the opportunities for Investigation offered here lo the public on many occasion».

There wm not the slightest evidence to the contrary. Not n tldog took place during the enllre evening that could not have been reasonably explained by attributing all to lh« work of Mr*.

If I were to judge the medium by Ihl* ono stance, I should say rtie le a daver nctriwe, but nol an actress of arty groat latent, . *-

Now, then, let me get at once to mv experience hero In New York, at a »wmeo given by theSiodilortJ- Hough combination, for this U really what I sal down to writ« about. I had l)«en told of wonder» up there, end, though I bad.had a former experience with Hough, which was anything but satisfactory, I went expecting lo wltnora something of »supermun­dane order. I had no prejudices whatever; and It eo happened that, awing lo tho fact of my being an unquestioned Spiritual!«!, I waa given a seat near the cabinet where|Uie l«rt possible clionWvWa* offer«! for obserrallotl.

Well, there wm a repetition of what haa so often Uk#n place in such drdes where the alleged medium I* left to himself: a guitar woe thrummed, bell* wer« rung, and music was made on a mouth organ- “

In due time everything wm ready for the Tnaterl- aUzaUoms and the form* were not slow In appear­ing. Carrie Miller. Esther Hazard and others cam«I wm called up to the cabinet lo see the materialized spirit of a young French lady, who wore Do Will’* moustache. clearly Indicated under wweral folds of 1st» and who, a* a matter of conn«, could not »peak a word of French. Then came the crowning act, the materialization of a «plrit oultido of the cabinet, which waa done and I will tell yon how It wm done:I bad heart! of this wonder time and again, and when the moment drew near for Itn performance, even n etranger could divine tbat something marvellous was about to happea A husky voice from 'the cabinet Called for the lesoenlng of the light In h room where the light was then d! m. A «matt iable, covered with n doth which touched the floor, wasplowd Iwfore the cabinet curtain». Before It Mrs. Stoddard look her stand, and qa aeon in the dim light her attitude was an anxious one. Presently. In front of the table wa* seen a piece of lace—email It was at first; then there wm more of U; then there wm a billowy mo­tion; Ah *n It became rather lively, and very shortly after It enfolded a very active human figure, Tho alleged spirit capered nhouL the room tor sereral mlnutee, went hack heebie Mra.

The performance of this act should be explainable by a child, Mr*. Stoddard ntniul* cpte-fn the table, making a deeper shade on the spot where the mater­ialization 1* to lake place.

All this I saw plain enough o* I sat within eight feet of the charmed spot where Ibis phenomenon takes place. It Is one of the cheap­est tricks I have ever seen performed, and only adapt­ed to the gulling of fools and children.

When De Witt wm cavorting around lo guise of the departed Carrie Milter, he wm ktnd enough lo give me his hand. It wo* the heavy muscular hand of Mr, De WIU C. Hough and there wm do mistake about It.

There would be no dUficnlty whatever in introducing them Into the cabinet during the dark circle, and a real girl would give variety lo the enter- min ment.

Mr. T. W. Curttssfter discussing In The Irutez the question of Church anil .Stale «» «wi through the Mormon question, a t considerable length, says:

But It L* not my puriMwo now to »jH-ak of that pu- trracenl social rice that dog» the step» of onr drillz- alion, offering It# own eommmton our dealings with Utah, but of IIIo»o Irregularities rather In the repub­lican household, which we may call tha concubinage of Church and Tbl* alono require« that youshould acL Will you not »peak out? Shall not that liberal srnilmeol, which years of agitation Iim crest- e,|, i«i utilized? Shall Liberalism be browbeaten In till* way, after the exertion» it ha* made in this di­rection? I malnleJn that the motive and the theory of tht*action pursued by the government toward Utah are wrong.—a transparent shorn and humbug, to put It mildly. I maintain that they conflict with tho spirit that crmled our government, and ha* supplied Liberalism with Us maxim*, and appointed it It* mission Id our time.

If till* he true, what form» can yonr action lake?I propose that ft petition be sent to Congree*,—* mammoth petition,—declaring the liberal view and sentiment. Tha (march ha* buried Itself In this way having already emptied a cartload of petitions on tho step» of the Capitol. Yet troth’» whispered ac­cent shall outweigh them nil. But ym^vtil do more than utter a aenllmerit You will nwxe a demand. Your appeal will be to principle, tii .reason, to the Constitution of the United SUie*. Yonr petition will tm based on two lirinciplM, one of which la the amendment to lbs Constitution.—“Coogreas shall guarantee lo every State In the Union a republican form of government, nnd »hall protect each of them from Invasion.” The other principle Is that of wise statMinonrirlp, which deal* with effect* through their cause», and finds lu a general taw that criterion of action which render* all l*gW[»tlon at one« impartial, lutelllgible nnd effective, securing to the individual (he largest liberty, while commanding hta respect and nlrtdlence.

Arbitrary power, In whatever disguise, must be overthrown; and reason ransl do 1L The twin-relic of barbarism-! afllrin to be the connection between Church and State, and the absolute control which Congress assume# over the great wort, under that archaic clause In the Constitution, which say*, “Coo- greai etui I make all needful rule« and regulation» for tho Terrltori» ood other property of Ui* United Statps" which place* human being* In the category of land and cliatUea.

The following, then, ore the uriBClpl» which you tuny Jurtly demand shnll be made a part of the fun­damental law of the land, through amendments to the United Slate# ConiUtullonS^

Then demagogy will no longer beat a prom I am, and treason do longer be mode a necessity and a virtue.

The attention of the American people Is to be colied, not lo tho danger that menace« the Dilute of ourcouutiy from the remarkable Increase of the Ito- inan Catholic element or the rapid rise of Mormon- l»in, but to the grip which old theology has on the Institutions of tills common wealth.

kal. I Am not # 8ptr1tualUt,hut great sorrow led me to write to you about X year ago as to some of the very remarkable |»betio|in-na that are from Ume to time published. I decided Hint I would make liornat efforts to find out fur myself whether these thin pi be so, Tho gale Beautiful had opened and through It had passed one of the tno«l gentle, lovely and ftpeem-

' pllsbed wltea and mothers that «Ter tleased n home.1 was almuel crural with grief. She and I had

often talked of tho strange reports of the appear­ance of »plrlls to person# now awl then,and here and there; but, like tho mtlkilck U was olwnym “ Just over yonder.1' We had also read Robert Date Owen'» remarkable books, “ Debatable t^nd;" add “ Foot- fall# on tho Boundaries of Another World.” We also had “ Brltun on Man," and Swwlentwrg’» work* upon our »helve«. With such testimonies, neither of na doubled tbe future life; and besides we both hold the Christian faith.

But when she was so suddenly taken from me my heart aank. and the great question of the reality of the future life arose for a new solution, or at least, for reconsideration. My narrow waa so gnat that it teemed that all 1 bad he)level was loo good lo be tarn. I had for yean known or your J ourhai. I incidentally «aw quoted from It the story of a girl who saw hw mother'* spiilt leave Hi» body. 1 de­cided I would writ* you about II;,that 1 would care-

, fully Investigate the#» strong# report* for myself. i,You sent me a copy of the RhliiiioPhilosoi' hjcal J ourmai. I read It on a hungry child lakes food, and wan oftonlnbod and delighted wllh It# editorial spirit, which excludes carefully nil that trapt fairly well attested, and seeks, only well authenticated fact*.

Allow metoaay that rondo not, perhaps, know• bow many thousands of people would like to In­

vestigate the evidence of Ihe future Ufa, bat they am afraid of Spiritualism and .-tplntuallsto. A lot of traveling impostor* have so vitiated the very name that thousand* fear all Spiritualist* as they do those who aie certain to trick and beat them..

I bare quietly jiunued ns? inquiries and Investi­gation* during this yarn of sorrow, and tho m ulls are full of MtJsfactlon and comfort I have not at­tended a spiritual meeting, proper;-hare not con­sul led a professed medium—In a word, I have only gathered up weil-Altostod phenomena from this one and that one. I llnd that many person* have very Interesting facta heating upon the future life: pro-Êtelle dreams, clairvoyance and the apnehraaoaof

e »plrlts of the departed; fact» that have never been gathered and publiait ml; that the#» fact* be­long b> no denomination, to no sector party; that they are tbs common property of humanity. 1 could gather enough welt-all*»ted, original facia from the most authentic source», in a few years, to make a considerable volume. Surely, God bath not left him­self without witness as lo tho future life of mankind.

I shall continue to gather facts for my own Infor­mation and study, and If you deem them of any benefit to your readers I will give you some of them occMtoually. I am only seeking sober truth for truth's sake find my own comfort. 1 wish nothing with a »hade of falsehood la I t I Like your- manner of editing, for you »how an earnest nradro to keep out all tbat wilt niUlead. In the luveellgatlon of this moat intonating question of the fntnrr life.

But Lately the truth has been thrust home upon them In a direct, and to them, surprising way, that there Is Interference in the affairs of men by an unseen power, that can »can the future.

Tbe femlly coincided with h)a judg­m ent The elder lister was requested by the father to go to the aexton and eecnre a lot' In the cemetery. She reluctantly left ht» bedside to perform thta ne» eesary duty. On ber wav she thought : "O 1 mart harry, for he may die wblle I am away!" Suddenly aa she was thus thinking and hurrying on, a eome- thl&g »poke Jhni to her interior self: "He will not die until Ih(With of July."

There wm not the slightest evidence to the contrary. Not n tldog took place during the enllre evening that could not have been reasonably explained by attributing all to lh« work of Mr*.

Now, then, let me get at once to mv experience hero In New York, at a »wmeo given by theSiodilortJ- Hough combination, for this U really what I sal down to writ« about. I had l)«en told of wonder» up there, end, though I bad.had a former experience with Hough, which was anything but satisfactory, I went expecting lo wltnora something of »supermun­dane order. I had no prejudices whatever; and It eo happened that, awing lo tho fact of my being an unquestioned Spiritual!«!, I waa given a seat near the cabinet where|Uie l«rt possible clionWvWa* offer«! for obserrallotl.

Well, there wm a repetition of what haa so often Uk#n place in such drdes where the alleged medium I* left to himself: a guitar woe thrummed, bell* wer« rung, and music was made on a mouth organ- “

In due time everything wm ready for the Tnaterl- aUzaUoms and the form* were not slow In appear­ing. Carrie Miller. Esther Hazard and others cam«I wm called up to the cabinet lo see the materialized spirit of a young French lady, who wore Do Will’* moustache. clearly Indicated under wweral folds of 1st» and who, a* a matter of conn«, could not »peak a word of French.

Presently.

Stoddard and the table, and disappeared In the manner It came.

The performance of this act should be explainable by a child, Mr*. Stoddard ntniul* cpte-fn the table, making a deeper shade on the spot where the mater­ialization 1* to lake place. De Will get» under tbe table bolding hi* lace In hi* hand. He I* now la bUck, and can’t be seen eval while be emerges from under the doth. With one hand ho shift«* the lace OW the AMT, emerge« slowly, cover* hi* head and shoulders wllh the lace, works hi« entire body under colly enough without being seen, for be work* In the dark, and lo! the miracle Is accomplished. When he denude rial lie*, that 1* to aay, Alien he crawls un­der1 the table and from thence Intp the cab! net, there leno nonsenao or “sinking down Into the door." He simply tumble* down la a beam backs out under the cover Of the table, and wave# his lace In victory over hi* triampb In dccell. All this I saw plain enough o* I sat within eight feet of the charmed spot where Ibis phenomenon takes place. It Is one of the cheap­est tricks I have ever seen performed, and only adapt­ed to the gulling of fools and children.

When De Witt wm cavorting around lo guise of the departed Carrie Milter, he wm ktnd enough lo give me his hand. It wo* the heavy muscular hand of Mr, De WIU C. Hough and there wm do mistake about It. For the life of me I can’t see wby the peo­ple up there should content UmDMlvea with a »Ingle bungling penonalor of spirit fotita, and wllh a man when they might eartly take several female# Into partuersblp. There would be no dUficnlty whatever in introducing them Into the cabinet during the dark circle, and a real girl would give variety lo the enter- min ment. I t wo* rather amusing lo see young Hough when he made his lin t appearance that might a* a maiden. He seemed to have a special pride, Indicat­ed by glance and gesture of the band», iksr those protuberance* of a purely feminine type which when not In excess ore regarded fa marks of beauty.

Mr. T. W. Curttssfter discussing In The Irutez the question of Church anil .Stale «» «wi through the Mormon question, a t considerable length, says:

But It L* not my puriMwo now to »jH-ak of that pu- trracenl social rice that dog» the step» of onr drillz- alion, offering It# own eommmton our dealings with Utah, but of IIIo»o Irregularities rather In the repub­lican household, which we may call tha concubinage of Church and Tbl* alono require« that youshould acL Will you not »peak out? Shall not that liberal srnilmeol, which years of agitation Iim crest- e,|, i«i utilized? Shall Liberalism be browbeaten In till* way, after the exertion» it ha* made in this di­rection? I malnleJn that the motive and the theory of tht*action pursued by the government toward Utah are wrong.—a transparent shorn and humbug, to put It mildly. I maintain that they conflict with tho spirit that crmled our government, and ha* supplied Liberalism with Us maxim*, and appointed it It* mission Id our time.

If till* he true, what form» can yonr action lake?I propose that ft petition be sent to Congree*,—* mammoth petition,—declaring the liberal view and sentiment. Tha (march ha* buried Itself In this way having already emptied a cartload of petitions on tho step» of the Capitol. Yet troth’» whispered ac­cent shall outweigh them nil. But ym^vtil do more than utter a aenllmerit You will nwxe a demand. Your appeal will be to principle, tii .reason, to the Constitution of the United SUie*. Yonr petition will tm based on two lirinciplM, one of which la the amendment to lbs Constitution.—“Coogreas shall guarantee lo every State In the Union a republican form of government, nnd »hall protect each of them from Invasion.” The other principle Is that of wise statMinonrirlp, which deal* with effect* through their cause», and finds lu a general taw that criterion of action which render* all l*gW[»tlon at one« impartial, lutelllgible nnd effective, securing to the individual (he largest liberty, while commanding hta respect and nlrtdlence.

Arbitrary power, In whatever disguise, must be overthrown; and reason ransl do 1L The twin-relic of barbarism-! afllrin to be the connection between Church and State, and the absolute control which Congress assume# over the great wort, under that archaic clause In the Constitution, which say*, “Coo- greai etui I make all needful rule« and regulation» for tho Terrltori» ood other property of Ui* United Statps" which place* human being* In the category of land and cliatUea.

The following, then, ore the uriBClpl» which you tuny Jurtly demand shnll be made a part of the fun­damental law of the land, through amendments to the United Slate# ConiUtullonS^

L Total separation of Church ood Nisi*, i National protection for turiTtqial citizens In Ihelr

e q u a l civil, political and religious tight*.S. Unlveraal education the basis of universal suf­

frage. *4, A specific and exact definition of tho relation

of the government to her Terrltorlesi.5. Marriage declared to be a civlrcontract, and

made uniform throughout the Union,When there amendments are made lot}»©Constitu­

tion of the United Slate*, then government will have dean hands, then the fa th of duly wilt be clear,then doubt# will be reived and perplexltie# removed, thenI I will nol he necwwuy to violate the spirit of the Constitution to enforce the Constitution, then the law Will nott>* compromised and debased by apology and makeshift, and the citizen will not, by quibble and erosion, become a conspirator against his own right*. Then demagogy will no longer beat a prom I am, and treason do longer be mode a necessity and a virtue.

The attention of the American people Is to be colied, not lo tho danger that menace« the Dilute of ourcouutiy from the remarkable Increase of the Ito- inan Catholic element or the rapid rise of Mormon- l»in, but to the grip which old theology has on the Institutions of tills common wealth. The evil house# Itself Inrali tbe creed* of Christendom, which are to U Ilka the root# of tho upas tree, In whore poisonous shade no living tiling can thrive.

Now, doe* uotlh# same wtlneee, who prove«lbs doctrines ot Jesus to Judge Tiffany, testify that Jem» hlmaelf waathe offspring of an adulterous Intercourse between tho Holy Gboei and the wife of one Joseph, a Jew? also that Jesus hod power to kill souls u well m bodice? also that Satan was hi» «ot« com­panion forty days; that he then carried him to a pin­nacle of the temple and thence to tho ton of a moun­tain. where the whole earth was visible? Doe# Judge Tiffany believe all that? If not, why not? HUwIt- nrea state* K, /

Cwnmudlma DmHauser quotesa« a"genulne Jewish tradition." *n acwuDt that «lumi» that "lhat man was ft disciple of Jehoshua ben Perachla, and that ••ho was born In the fourth year of the reign of Alexander Jannastfs." This ‘■account is taken from n Jewish work published near the beginning of the sixteenth century, a thou­sand yearn after the Talmud wit« finished, and which contains no "genu ne traditions of Jeans other than those In the Talmud. The Gernara of the Talmud, finished wear A. I). 600, ron to I ns all the "genuine Jewish tradi­tion» of Jesus in existence; all Jewish ¡ic- «rants of Jeans appearing since are founded on the Talmudic narratives anil the New Test­ament. The account above, which Mr. Mas- wy Quotes, is merely a repetition of the Tal­mudic statement concerning Jesus nini It ab­bi Jehtiyhun. This Talmudic statement has been-ahowji to be cmo of the many chronolog­ical errors of that book, owing to two differ­ent Jehosfiua» being confused. This I nth wntiiry account, therefore, voices no Inde­pendent tradition of the Jews, but Is merely a restatement of nil old Talmudic anachron­ism ami Is Potlrely destitute of value. The statement thaUcsus was born in the fourth

{ear of Alexander Jannams is a self-evident ihricallon. The fourth year of hi* reign

was B. C. 102, while the flight of Jehoshua to Egypt with his pupil Jesus was In the first or second year of Alexander, B. C. l'*> or Uk*: that is. according to this "genuine tradition* of Mr. Massey. hurt* lied to Egypt and studied magic there (Arre or four y ear* before Aravit born! This Illustrates the unreliable rubbish manufactured In the Middle Ages, which Mr. Massey quotes as "genuine tradition" embody­ing historic facts. But, worse than this are Mr. Massey's quotations from' the " Toledoth Jesliu." About the twelfth century A. V. two bonks, each called Srpher Totedoth Jt*hu, wore Issued in Hebrew, by the Jews of Ger­many. They were evidently written In retal­iation upon the Christians for their inhuman persecution of the Jews^if that day. They purport to be lives of Jesus, and are full of the wildest absurdities and most monstrous falsehoods; genuine history forming no part of them, aside from n few names and inci­dents based on the Talmud and the Christian gospels and church traditions. AH respect­able Jews of the present day view these books with the utmost contempt; as historical au­thorities they Are unworthy of notice. Ine eminent Jewish historian Graetz, in his HU- lory of the Jeirt, Hi. 213, calls thorn 'ttils^Ta- blen prod lieti ons. These wretched collections of blunders and falsehoods, scorned alike by Jewish. Christian and Rationalistic scholars (the latter Including Strauss. Keltu, etc.). haTe alas! been adopted by two recent anti- Christian writer« as furnishing valuable bis­torte data probative of Jesus having lived be­fore the Christian era; namely. "Antichrist," who published a few years ago an English translation of one of the two Toledoth*. with the absurd claim that It was older than the Talmud and Iho Christian gospels, and Mr. Gerfld Massey, who quotes from it as If it war* actual h'istory, to distinguish the two, each 2’offi/oiA Is called after Its original pub­lisher, the first one being the Wagensell*nd the second the Huldrich Toledoth Jesliu. The W.igeaselJ version. In Its flfst chapter, tells i s that in the days of Alexander Jannei n worthless Jew. named Joseph Bandera, lived

, In Bethlehem of Judea and near him A widow who had a daughter named Mary, which Mary it tells ns, is the same Mary who curled hair, as mentioned ill the Talmud. This proves the book to be founded on the Talmud and the gospel narratives, aside from the malign­ant fabrications U contains concerning Jesus, et«. Jesus, It relates, was the soli of-Joseph Fandera and Alary. We have already shown that If Jesus went to Egypt with Jehoshua B, C., HO or Irti, he could not have been kirn in the reign of Alexander Jannei, as this ver­sion of the Toledoth says: but according to the Huldrich version Jemisjva« born In the relgu of Herod, as in .Matthew's gospel. Ills mother Mary was betrothed to Punii- ilen Jelnidii, and she was the daughter of Kalphus and sister of Simeon. She fled from Jerusa­lem to Bethlehem with Joseph Fanderavif Nuzundh, where (in Battik1 lieiu) Jesus whs born.- To escape the child's massacre by Iler-

? years ify rer

Nazareth.This also is manifestly a combination of Tal­mudic and New Tostntnehl narratives, nud voire« no Independent traditions. Simeon ben Kalphus 1« u historical character, a noted rabbi, who, as an old man. was Hvlnit A I). Bio. The fnl lofting rabbis are mentioned in this version as at Jerusalem when Jesus was a boy: his preceptor; Jehoshua ben f'eraklah, Joshua ben Levi, who lived A. 1). 220, Aklba (A. D. litro, and Kleazar (A. 1). 0«), It is «een how unlitsiffrical and anachronistic the work In.

We have seen that the first Toledoth Jesliu locales Jesus as living before the Christian era, thus following the two passages in the Talmud connecting him with Rabbi Jehosh­ua In the reign of Alexander .latitici. while the second one follows the other Talmudic

. allusions to Jesus and places him after the Christian era. In association with Fopus ben Jetiuda. Aklba, Eteazar, etc. Now, in like manner as Mr. Massey has suppressed ali llie Talmudic passages referring to the jhwI- Chrirthm-'Jesus. and claluk that the Tal­lii udir Jesus li veil before Christ, so be has

oppressed the narratives of the second Tole- doth local lug J e s u s in the first century A. [>., and only referred to the stories in the first Toledoth. locating him .before the Christian era. But this is not the worst. Mr. Massey, in sorrow lie it «aid, la his ¡\atural tlmetit. II. 490 . deviates bo far from the truth ai) to Btate lhat both versions, ■* Hip first and sec­ond ' Toledoth Jehoshua ' ” (to use Ills own exact words,—he Invariably erroneously calls Jashu- Jehoahuak relate that the Queen « Jannaus, Salome, showed favor to.Jehoshua

" (etc) and hts teaching, and tried to Have him from his enemies, because he was «dated to her, but tifht during her reigu. which ended B. C. 71, he was put to death. All of this i* found In the first, hut not a trorrf o f it if ta the eeeond Toledoth. The Queen of Jaunaua

' Is never mentioned in the sreoad version, Jecus’« life therein being laid long after her death. To bolster up the existence of an Imaginary pre-Christian Jesus, the Talmud la not only misrepresented mod the two " mis­erable ” Toledoth« Jeehu quoted as contain­ing reliable historical data, but even the content* of one of these books is misquoted. It being made to state just the opposite of what It does state,—that Jesus was executed between 7» and 71 B.C. Moreover, the queen 1« never called Salome in the first Toledoth. but Helena» one of the many blunders of the ignorant compiler. Her name waa Alexandra, and possibly may have been Salome, as Mr.

mother of King Mambaslii«, called Hyrcaiius. who was killed by Herod. Queen Alexandra hud a son Hyrcaiius who was killed by Herod, but Ole in a and Mumbaslus were entirely dif­ferent persons. Oleitia was Queen of Adia- bene in Assyria, and did tint come to Jerusa - cm till the reign of Claudius, near the mid­dle el Hie first century A. 1). Her son Mono- basin« reigned In A. B. 01, and was alive nt the destruction of Jerusalem. A. D. <0. Thus even the first Toledoth, by 11« association of Jesus with Queen Olelnn. relegates him to the first Christian century. The only Queen Helena who ever favored the Christians against the Jews was the mother of Constan­tine, who went to Jerusalem in A.1L32H. ami several incidents, in the Helena slory In the Toledoth, resemble Incidents narrated of Helena's visit to Jerusalem. A. Ih » ; ho there -is much probnblllpy-lhat the Toledoth Helena Is borrowed from the Christian Hele­na (Raring-GoaM's fjoal find //off. dorp., p. HI), Aud absurd, JiuclironoiuglcaMlc* tions, mnriufiiclnred in the twelfth century A. D„ are quoted by Mr. Massey as " genuine traditions1, confirming the existence of Jesus In the century preceding Christ., As author­ity for his statements concerning Salome■ Alexandra, Mr. Massey naW*- “ Josephus, A nt. b. xllt, ch. t ; cb. xili, B; ch. xlv, 2. The Iasi two of these references are erroneous; chapters xill. and xiv. say not a word about this queen; the correct references are xv. 5 and xvl. 1-0; also H'nr*. b. 1. cli. lv. I, and ch. v. 1-4, All the foregoing data concern­ing the unreliability of the two Toledoth», the content« of both and their chronological blunder«, the absence of any reference to the (Jueen of Jannams (Saloine-Heleiia/) In the second one, the Identity of the Toledoth Hel­ena with the Christian Helena, etc., are all well known to Mr. Massey, being fully detail­ed In Biiiihg-GotiM's work, from which lie de­rived ntl his information concerning the two Toledoth«, as well as concerning the Tal­mud; so Ignorance cannot be pleaded In ex­tenuation of this aeries of misstatements.

On page fifty-seven of Barlng-Gould Is found the following: “ Learned Jowlsh wri­ters have emphntlealh,- denied that the Jes- chu of the Tnlmiid i» Hie Jestis of the Gos­pel«, In the 1 Disputation' of the Rabbi Jec- hiels with Necola». a convert, occurs tills statement: * This (which Is related of Jesus and the Rabbi Joshua, son of Peraehla) eon- tain« no reference to him whom Christians honor as a God.',.. .The Rabbi Salman Zevl entered Into the question with great care In a pamphlet, and produced ten reasons for concluding that the Jeschu of the Talmud was not the Jesus, son of Mary, of the Evan­gelists. (Koot-notes, Elsenmenger: Neuent- iteektes Judenthum, I. pp. 231-7.*’ Compare this with the following paraphrase of it con led Into Mr. Massey’« book without credit. II. 490: The Jewish writers altogether denythe Identity of the Talmudic Jehoshua [sic) and the Jesus of the' gospel». This, observes Rabbi Techlek,♦which has been related of Jehoshua ben Perachia and his pupil, con- lains no reference whatever to him whom the Christians honor aa a God. Another Rab­bi, Salman Zevl,produced ten cogent reasons for concluding that the Jehoshua [slcl'of the Talmud was nut he who was afterwards called Jesu« of Nazarelh (Foot-note. Klseii- roenger, Entdecklri Judenthum, vol. I, pfi. 231 237), and that (as wo find) the Christ of the gospels 1» the God of the Mythas, not iho maw of the Jewish nlslory." Attention 1» Invited lo several changes made by Mr, Massey in copying this from Barlng-Gould. ■techie!» is altered into TcchieU, and Salman Zevl 1« charged with asserting that the Christ of the gospels is mythical, not historical. This last Assertion Mr. Massey adds on Ills own responsibility, nothing of the sort being found in Barlng-Gould. Because the Rabbi thought the Talmudic Jesus a different per­son from Jesus of Nazareth, Hint olid not make him think the latter it 'myth, as Mr. Massey asserts. What warrant had Mr. Mas­sey to place his own Idea« Into the mouth of Rabbi Salman Zevl and quote them as com­ing from the Rabbi? I fail to see the fair­ness or honesty of this.

Again. Mr. Ma««ey bo change« Barlng- Gould'« language as to imply that of/ Jewish writers deny the identity of the two demises. His words are, " The Jewish wrlterjaltqgeth- er deny." etc. The truth is thivnfrnlal Is “ altogether" confined to a few obscure writ­ers of the Middle Ages, writing when strong antagonism existed between Judaism and Christianity. All the learned Jewish writers of the present age hold to the Identity of the Talmudic Jesus with the Christian, and they all assert the historical existence of Jesus In the first century. Derenbourg, Qraetz, Jost, Geiger.. Muuk, Salvador. Cohen. Frankl, Schwab, Heutscb, the great nuftters in Jew-

Mmmv persists in calling her; bat this la doubtful: for there are very strong reasons for doubting the Identity of the wffe'of Alex­ander J bud» us, Alexandra, with Salome, the widow of hla elder brother ArktobuIns (Raph- all’a Tort-Biblical Hutory o f the Jeter, Phllad-, 1855, vol. II, p. tea, note). This Queen Helena the Toledotn telle ne waa Olelna,

]«h religious history nud criticism In Europe, all testify to the historical existence of Jesus of Nazareth in the first century, is do the leading American rabbis anil writer«. Dr. Isaac M. Wise, editor of tile .Iwfrriran I»rati iir, ami one of uiir best Talmudist«, lias pub­lished several book« on the life and tb-ath of Jesus and Hie origin of Christianity, largely illustrated from Talmudism; and in them he Identifies the Talmudic and-Christian Jesuses, and accept« the crucifixion by Pon­tius Pilate as the terjiHnntlonTif Jesus's 41 ie. Rabbi M. Schleslnger haa published a book called "'/Tie //u/or«r«( ,/c«ia," widely gives a life of Jeaus based oil tbe gospels, as\inter- preted by the critical or rationalistic school of Strbuss, Baur, Davidson, etc. Felix Attler. the Jewish rationalist, has often spoken of Jesus a« a historical character of the ur«t century; and ltabbi Kaphatl in his historical works does the «amp things Indeed, 1 have never heard a doubt of Hie historical exist­ence of Jesu« of Nazareth {xpreased by an Jewish scholar of to-day In Europe dv Ameri ca. Such fancies are left to anti-Christian “ crunks” and sblar my thotoglsts. No sound scholar can possibly entertain so preposter­ous a conclusion.

Mr. Miwai' v quote« from the Babylonian Geinani Sabbath, fnl. 07, the following: "There exist«, a tradition that on the rest- day before the Sabbath they crucified Jehoeh- ua [sic], on the rest-day of the l’aasuh (the day before the FaerfoverV No such pa can be fonnd In the Talmud. The wa;

Massey obtained It was this; Barlng-douM,p. 58, aaya: "The Babylonian Gernara re marks, ’There exists a tradition:On thereat* day before the Sabbath they crucified Jeschu [not Jehoahua. wr llr . Mju»ey will have i t ] " Then follows, In the quotation In Barlng- Gould, nix more line« omitted by Mr. Massey, after which it say«, " be was crucified on tbe rwtrday of, the PXasah ( j , t h e day before the Passover).” The parenthetical conclud­ing clause, copied by Mr. Massey, Is no part of ihe Talmudic quotation, but Is an explan­ation given by Barlng-Gould, To make this confiqwMw quotation, Mr. Massey blends as one sentence parts of separate sentences six line« apart. The sense Is In no way. altered by Mr, M., but it Is Indicative of a loose. In­accurate style of quotation. My reason for referring to this quotation is tbe following: Barlng-Gould does not state In what Tract of the Talmud this quotation Is found, and Mr. Massey wishing to state In his book the pre­

cise place Lti the Talmud In which found, ns Indicative perhaps of hi« '•prolonged re­searches" In Talmudic lore, wa« probably a little puzzled at first where to place It. On the nuit page of Barlng-Gould he found an­other quotation from the Talmud relative1 to the crucifixion of Jesns credited to " Tract Sabbath, fol. fi7." Mr. M. probably thought It very unlikely that any one would ever take the trouble to verify his reference to this quotation, and so, rather than ogHl the reference, he concluded to «nbstitute a wrong one for tbe unknown correct one. Therefore ho Inserted It a« coming from “ Tract Sab­bath, ful. H7." Besides, it might be in " Tract Sabbath" after all; anyhow, he would risk It. It bappeli«, however. Hint the passage quoted is not in "Traci Sabbath ” at all, but In " Tract Sanhedrin," fol. 13. 1. Thewo two tracts are separated in the Talmud by a great distance. Shabbath Is Irael twelve, the first tract in the second order. Seder Moed, while Sanhedrin 1» tract thirty-five ami tbe fifth tract In the fourth order. Seder fin ikin . Hoe commence« volume two and the other begins volume nine of thetwelveTalmudic Aolume-». It is advisable for aullmrs. especially scien­tific Writer«, not lo Insert bogus references in their work«.

Mr. Massey say« the dews protest against the ossumptipu of the Identity of Jesus, «on of.Pnndern, with tho gospel Jesu«,“ as an Im­possibility." " It is not the Jew«, but the Christ Ians," «ays he, " who fuse two suppos­ed hiHtorlc characters Into one." Mr. Massey certainly must know belter than this. Who wrote llie Toledoth Jeshiis, Christians or Jews? Ills own authorities, which ho had Just quoted, ultra-Jewish and rabid uutl- Christlan, tho two Toledoth«, Completely " fuse the two character« into one." Reside« the Talmud Itself In various places " fuses *'• llie two, ns I hnv« shown. It calls him "Jesu« of Nazareth." " the Nszarene." etc.; it refers to hi« brother James, Matthew, Thaddou», Nicodeinus, and Mary Magdalene; to bis crucifixion at thirty-three year« old; his sup­posed royal descent, the healing In his name, and his claiming to be the heir of the king­dom. What Mr. Massey «ay« the Jews,pro­tea ted against " a« an impossibility," all the Jewish scholars of the world to-day accept as truth.

Having had the whole truth presented as regards the Talmudic and other Jewish ac­count« of Jesus, the readers of the Journal are now in a position to determine Intelli­gently and nn-ler«tandlngly,what measure of credence to accord the statements thereiinent of Mr. Gerald Massey.
