after discussing several problems pertaining to tbe Spiritualist movement, said that in a

the City of Boston but afew days before, this question came up: 11 Admitting that what are known as spiritual manifestations, are

wicked. In reply to ibis yon a*k, '* How are we to know them when they come to ns. and how can we guard and protect onr mediums from each demoralizing Influences?^ In a recent lecture In our city byMrs. Helen J. T. Brigham, one ot tbe questions sent-np to her to be answered was1, " Tell ns how you be­came a medium?" In reply, Mrs. B. said that It was a very simple story. When she was a child of twelve summers, or so, thoro came to the town of Bennington, Vt„ where her parents then resided, a spirit-medium to lecture, known later as Mrs. Nettle Maynard.

. In those early days, Bay 1855 or 1856. each an announcement created a good deal of etlr and excitement In a country village, and every one went to hear the woman who "talk­ed by spirits." Miss Nellie going with her

tiarents. I presume she did not go to sleep, or after tbe meeting,on going to their home

she exclaimed, “ 1 would like to be a medi­um P That chlld-llke expression changed the whole tenor of her life, and made her a teacher of a new faith; A circle was formed for medlumktlo development* And Miss Neills was entranced and gave a lecture that as­tounded her parents and the few friends present. Then and there Mrs. Brighams public life commenced. At th r celebrated Free Convention, held at Rutland. Vi., In Jane, 1856. where more brains and polarized !□ dividual ism were gathered together than have ever been assembled lu this country, before or since, among others who were to speak and represent Modem Spiritualism was Mias Nellie Temple. When tbe time came for her to speak she could not be found. The committee somewhat pnxzled, Informed her mother who was In the audience, who said she thought she could And her. She was found in the yard of a private residence near by, playing with tbe dolle of the little girls whose acquaintance she bad made. My mem­ory gone back thirty years to tbe scene in that large canvas tent Ailed with Ave thou­sand or more people. On-the platform were veteran reformers and agitators: Lucretla Mott, Ernestine L. Rose, Parker Filiation;., Rev. A. D. Mayo, Wm. Goode!!, Stephen 6. Foster, Elder Miles Grant, S. B. Brittan, A. J. and Mary F. Davis, Joel Tiffany, AehM W. Sprague and many others. Miss Nellie with her ehort dress and hair .rough and uncomb­ed, was brought In from her play and placed npon the platform,and as this child-medium began an Invocation to the All Fatheb, that vast and discordant audience was hushed, and the discourse given through her organ­ism was listened to with wrapt attention.

assured the lady that is thirty-four years or more aa a Spiritualist, that my experience with tbe Spirit world had been directly the opposite; that thoee who were mischievous, lying or wicked, formed but a vary email proportion: and I know that this la the ex­perience of many others. There ara myriads of spirits who minister uotoor control medi­ums and who come to the qhlet home circle.' These circles are often amqhg tbe most sa­cred places on earth.

Bot aa I hare said, no two of our public or private teachers and mediums are influenced alike; and as these reminiscences may be aids and helpers to a new generation who ara to take the place of ns wornont and disabled 'Veterans. 1 will briefly give incident* id tbe development of another of Vermont's spirit­ual teachers,

MISS ACHBA W. SPRAGtTX.This (rifted teacher and noble woman waa

an Invalid from early childhood, and as she. lay In a darkened room confined with scrof­ulous rheumatism, rumors of spirit rapping reached her hnmble home, resting under the. shadow of the Green Mountains. Circles had been formed in the neighborhood, and one Whom thry all knew and respected had been developed as a healer, who could by the sim­ple touch of his band or by making over the bodj " called npon 1over the body relieve many a sufferer, and he

ber. Mies Sprague received the healer with courtesy, and while on this bedUriOIOl Willi tVlil raLI'l WUUP UU *UJL9 UfMof anguish .exclaimed, “ If this power which this rami possesses is from God. why cannot it come to me direct? No, if it fa in God's

Jove and wisdom that I can be restored to life and health,-let the power come through 'my organization." As this long afflicted bnt

Klent sufferer lay In tbe darkened room she new and strange sensations; and her

clalrandient powers developed and ah* heard spirit voices saving they would heal her, and that she would be restored to comparative health, bat when that was effected she most

In her volume of poems published lu 1864, soon after her death, Is one entitled "The An­gel’s Visit," descriptive of her care by the in­visible power, and of her development as a speaker and a teacher of a new gospel. It con- talas the wail of this sufferer. As she lay in pain and anguish the cry went forth from her soul:

A * Resurrection ’ unto Thee I”Surely and truly was the prayer of ber soul

answered; elowly bat snraly was she brought back to llfs and health through her own me­dial powers. Cheered by loving friends and angel voices the prayer, of her soul was an­swered. and with new com] voices

, and with It came a now duty, and a impact with the angel world. The

voices told her she most go forth among strangers as a preacher of a new faith. Did she shrink from the riot^thns Imposed? Nay!With a heart fall love and gratltm£this woman gladly accepted the charge. We

I mas la tbeCbrlatlan pulpitsheir some times 1 rite menwy they were called to preach the gospel; If ever mortal was dlvlnsly ordained to break the broad of life to starving seals this sister Wav so called,—and her authority emanated from the very throne of God himself, for Ter- lly she was " at-one-mentn with him.

Miss Sprague gave her first public dis­course at Booth Reading, Yt., Joly 16th, 1854, and from that time until her death, July 6th, 1862, she spoke almost every evening', be­sides Ailing her Sanday appointments. Near­ly everywhere churches were opened to her, and tbe people listened with rapt attention to her inspired utterances. Another has well said of her:

"In her public ministrations she was] vet liberal, acalons bnt to le r^ t. large vein of mysticism in her com, ebe would have tbe troths of rellgto: clear to the understanding alto. Bbi name npon which,detraction caught In vain to And a blot, and though much admired, she had too math good sense to bw'tpolied by flattery. Beginning life a victim or poverty, in youth a child of eofferlng. she was lastly In adult.years a dispenser to grateful mind*."

Never can I forget the lofty inspiration that marked her public utterances. She bad a winning presence,, pure, high, and holy. Men andiwomen would listen (or hoar* as the burning Inspiration came forth from her soul tonnmanlt] ............................

What an expoto of tbe abenrdity of the Christian plan of salvation was that discourse; w ith what scorn did this inspiredevangel denounce tbe dogma that by Christ’s suffering* on the crosa.sinful men and women could be saved. The new gospel wae one of personal responsibility and of personal ac­countability, and no Christ, no God, could atone for the wrong committed by another; the sinner must save himself by repentance, right living, and right doing.

I have given a quite fail account of Miss Sprague's development and the commence­ment of her life as a mediam and public teacher, for the pnrpoee of example and en­couragement to those of onr faith now in tbs field, and to follow after os. The example of her life, her earomt, faithful and loyal work for tbe aptrituar world, should be a* a beacon light to aid others to aspire to be equally as loring, earnest and worthy defender* and champions of onr faith.

It has been my good fortune to know many other good mediums who were true to their calling, and to have been bleated by their friendship. Borne of them are living to-day, poor, nn honored and neglected, bat they have received the paari of great price, and while the honors and emolument* of this world have been few, the blessings they have been able to dispense to Ignorant, sinful and hnn- gry souls have been priceless. \ y

. MBS. r. 0. HY7.KB.This sister and friend has been a public

teacher for spiritual troth for over a quarter of a century. Sometimes the, too, Is asked haw she beeame a medium; and like that of Mrs. Brigham, It Is but * simple story. Away back Id thy " fifties " she came from ibe West to tbe old home In a quiet co'intry-town In Vermont.) She fonud her parents, slstera and friends had "gono craxy" on Bplrttaaljem, Bbe was/a delicate creature, suffering hemorragbro of the long*; bnt had life force enough to hnrl anathemas at her frii who had become Infatuated with this craze. Her friends held circles In the home.' Bhe would have nothing to do with tbsm? Finally tbe old dear mother made an appeal. Bhe hid through spirit sonreae received a

Iireecrlptioo for Ibis daughter who appsrent- y was fari sinking with that dread disease,

consumption. Noi Bhe " would not touch it." Again and Again did tbe dear mother orge It as a special favor to her personally. Finally Mrs. Hyzer took the hopeful draught and became nnconseloos. She was entranc­ed; and her work as a medium <a<J public teacher dated from that hour.

How earnestly, faithfully and conscien­tiously she obeyed the ecrlptnre injunction to go ont unto all the world and preach the gos­pel, sofne of her more Intimate friends know. The world doe* not and never can know

trials, sorrow* and enfferlugs this do­le, sensitive woman bos hud , to endure.

BaHhese trials, burdens and sorrows seemed hat to give the spirit more power and strength to do the will of her spirit band. When I first mads lira Hyzer’* acquaintance.in Ver­mont In 1807, It seemed as if a breath would send ber to the other life: bot that slight and frail form encased a spirit of Iron will, great endurance and large spirituality, and Mrs. If. 1*to-day a living evidence of the-power of spirit over matter. What she lives a n , those who have entertained her in their home* cannot .tell. -She will come to the table with tbe reel, perhaps eat a mouthful of stole bread, and possibly a little fruit, drink a little water, and go to the hall or chnreh, and for an honr and a half to two hour* a constant stream of losplrailaa wilt flow oat to the listening audience. When the voice comes calling ber to “ pome up higher," can It beposslbte she to to lose interest In the cause? No! ber Influence will be left with ns. I have sometime* thought that when the change comes, that there will be no death. Tbe worn ont body will be dropped, bnt she will be with ns still a living personality.

Ths development of another of our public teachers was as marked as those of tbe me­diums whom I have mentioned, 1 refer to that of

MBS. J ANNIE DAVIS SMITH.This lecturer has a large elrcle of friends

throughout New England, who listen to Indd lessons given throagh her mediamsbip, per­tain lag to religion* life end practical work to be done here and now. When ID her teens and living with ber mother in the City of Lanalogbarg, N. Y., If I mistake not, Gen. E. F. Ballard, a veteran Spiritualist and even than lu the earlier days (for It was In the " fifties"} a does observer of psychic pha uomena. become Interested la the develop­ment of Mias Founte Davis, who remaiaed In a trance state for forty-five consecutive day*. Her mother and General Ballard hid faith that the intelligent powers would bring the

fang girl back to life and health. Miss (vie wae conscious of what was going on

about ber. bnt could not speak or move a baud or stir of her own volition. Patiently did tbe friends watch by ber brdslde, and when ber powers were restored, she wae ready for her public work. She is now beard all too seldom to satisfy her friends.

Suer si to stand as universal expressions for a Monism of the Mystics, both of the East

and the West. They teach not simply a one- net* o f romnositfoa, bnt a oneness of nature. There can be no real difference between the Idea of Spinoza's doctrineot Identity and the Idea of tbe Unitv ot the Mystics. Only the forms of expression differ.

Bnt that which we here speak so boldly and bring forth Into tbs daylight of thu nine-

The mystic doc- trise of Union with the Supreme la flUll an esoteric truth and will ever remain eo, ex­cept to those who learn it by “ restraint of tbe passions" and by "spiritual medita­tions." This being so, we have not profaned the Aolu truth by our speech, and haring as- sorted the essential unity of things, we may □ow devote the balance of these papers to what we bdve called

For a mind, so disposed, It Is easy to see, that Katnre everywhere exists under dnal forms; such a mind readily recognize* the troth of the statement made In the Book of Eerieelastlcus: “ All the works of the Most High, they are two and two, one against tbe other." Such a mind quickly discerns that Katnre does not attain any end by a direct effort. She doe* it only by a combination of Opposites. Hence we may trnly say. that ** Nature Is a system of nuptials, and we cun demonstrate It as a fact, that every man- ifeetaiion o f Ufe—throughout creation — form* a beautiful duality f t unity, or to use Other language, the whole life o f nature;and all her manifestations are (Ac result o f the co-operative play o f oppoiUe force*.

It Is this co-operative play of reciprocal principles of creation, that largely occupy the study of the Alchemists, and on which the. Great Sctewee rests. '

It underlies nearly all cosmogonies, that have risen on mystic ground or nave sprang from esoteric studies. The Hindu cosmog­onies, that seem so grotesque to a Western mind, represent the origin ot tbe world as a result of the “ breathing ont" of the 8q- precap, and Its decay as a " breathing in." All the classical theories, of moet Interest to ns,.are either exposition* of the World s life and death as a “ flax " and a “ reflux ** of di­vine energy, or as a " thought,” that ceases to be, tbs Tory next moment. E m crest­ing, and ever destroying, with bat Interval of Apparent real existence! — are tbe eocmiuous! It seems tbe World was meant to be nothing bnt a momentary exten- tion of tbe Supreme Being.

Let us leave out of consideration the chemical process and took apon the mechanical. The sun- jeami, we think hot, yea burning, bnt they are not. Existing for themselves they do net warm, nor burn. Eternal snow lies upon the lofty peaks of the greatest mountains— 'forever untnored by the embrace of the god cf the upper air, and seronants report that the air gets colder as you ascend. Why? Be­cause of the absence of atmosphere! It Is only by penetration and by an Interaction M. e, co-operation) with the atmosphere that [eat Is produced.As It Is with Heat, so It is with Liqht. The

be withont Heat and.LlghtV Nothing, I dare say! Life would not be worth living, many would say. Would It be wotlb living with­out Color. Yet, neither heat, nor light, nor color exist In a free state. They ore all the result of tbe ,co operation of two opposites. Color, has light for father and the various forms of matter for mother.

Man himself 1b constituted on opposites, body and spirit, and It becomes his chief ethical object to jiarmonIre these two. Upon the doctrine of man as a created spirit in vital anion with a material body* depends nearly all the doctrines of Christianity, and tbe most Interesting studies In Biblical Psy­chology hare been made to shew the laws of their co-ordination and co-operative Inter- coarse. The "Heathens,” long before the Christian Doctors, have made valuable con­tributions to this subject. Some.of them

We might easily continue our Illustrations throughout the whole Held of nature, but must stop here. Enough has been brought forward for onr purpose, which Is aim ply to give weight to one mystic doctrine, that of opposites against auother, that of unity. Opposites exist by necessity. They are set, the moment the Deity manifests itself, or steps ont of Its original self-centred being. All opposites are grounded In the Immutable law orcreation, which requires the combina­tion ot opposites for the purpose of bringing Into manifestation and fruitfulness the love amt irfsrfom of the Great Creator. Without opposites, the life which man receives mo­mentarily from the eternal source of being, would be tran*J1uent. like that of the brut* creation, and thus there would do no re­action cm the part of mnu upwards towards the Everlasting and Supreme.

Bat, do you know, that lard showed me a profit of $18,000 la two weeks’ time! The success both surprised and vexed me. Whom did the profits belong to? After some thought l decided to divide them, and accordingly placed the half, less my regular commission, to the account of my absent customer.

These words were said one week ago, and were prefatory to the beginning of one of the moat Interesting acqnainuuices Imaginable. It Is not often that a man of eneb peculiar crochets and Inoffensive fancies la met In thls^world of-commonplace people. He Is now a Western merchant of prominence, of Scotch parentage, as his name Indicates, and makes an annual summer tour to Europe. This year he baa lingered here later than usnal, because of the splendid series of races now being run at Monmouth Park. .Not that be Is a betting man. Far from It. He ad­mires a flue horse, and [he exhibition of good blood therein delights him. That la alt. Bnt It was not until last night that 1 really began to understand this man. He Is. a believer In omenB—found bis wife by one, made hls fori one by others. No ancient Greek gave more heed to a premonition than does ho. He confessed that he almost feared that he was becoming a Spiritualist. When I pressed him for the reasons that led him to accept tho mysteries of such a belief he w ba silent a few moments, thou he said, slowly:

“ I will tell you. Whether U tarns ont a song or a sermon I leave to yon. To mo It has the elements of both, li is an event that has altered my whole life. Do you care to hear it?"

Mrs. Lorering sang an Italian song, which brought the spirit o t an Italian lady io Mrs, Harp and spoke through her. She was very unhappy. Her hoaband died In Paris and left her with four small children. She taught music and Italian to support them, but grief at the loss of her husband undermined her health and she died, leaving her children to the cold charity of the world. I t was their destitnto condition that made her unhappy, though surrounded by scene* of matchless beauty. Her husband, too, shared heranxiety. Never having cultivated faith beyond the formal doctrines of tbe church, she bad not yet learned to put her trnst in God. She was a Roman Catholic in earth life and tried to live a good life, but was too fond of pleasure to derive, much com­fort from religion. She wished to live and did not want to die. Her remarks were de­liberate and full of Intense feeling. She made plain that the external heantles of heaven had little or no tnflnence on a " mind diseased.’’ Peace of mind alone constituted heaven. Mrs. Horn, the authpr and medluin, la a lady of pleasing address, of a thoughtful turn of inlnd and free from all affectation.

The New Northweet thus summarises an article upon

MB3, GLADSTONE."A sketch of Mrs.Gladstone written by

Eleanor Kirk appears In the May Demortere Monthly, from which it is evident thnt the Premier's wife is as remarkable as her din- tlognlsbed husband. Born in 1812. the daugh-

' ter of Bir Richard Glynne, from her infancy she showed capacities for leadership, tern-

Kred with kindness and unselfishness. In e selection of friends, Mrs. Gladstone is

never influenced by blrtb, wealth or social position. She encourages industry and thrift among the cottages around, personally as­sisting them In many ways, as for instance In the cultivation of trees aud-flowersaround their homes. ■ . '

« It Is related of her that during the Lan­cashire cotton famine, she worked night and

"Children, It seems to me, are practically more grateful for money given freely for their own use, as a regular allowance, than they are for the separate articles purchased for them. They themselves have a chance to learn the Inxnry of giving, aud they enjoy the preeents-made to them ontslde the-stlpn- Jated sum far more than, when bestowed un­der other circamstanceb. The Independence nurtured by this system is of the right sort.

"The second thing which should bethought of in every women's education U that she should learn some one thing thoroughly, by which she may support herself. If necessary, Just because marriage Is a woman's noblest life. It should never w entered Into bnt from the purest motives. No woman should look to marrlago for a home—for a maintenance, but always and only for ber highest life.

"The low prices which women get for their work are ilue to two causes: Its poor quality from want of special training, and the enor­mous competition in a few fields. When wo­men are well-trained and thoroughly compe­tent, and when they learn (as thoy are learn­ing) to do somethin? besides sewing nnd teaching, they will command higher reman-' eration. That is no reason, however, why. by onr absurd system of education (or want or education, rather) we ehopM add the'ete- ment of despondency and inefficiency to the other necessary evils of hucU a life. We do not make onr girls more womanly, but only more helpless."

Going From One Sect to Another Does not Change the Character ot the Universe.

Daring the past doten or soore of years Chicago has been the scene of many church changes. The fnter-eooleslastlcal relations have become more cordial, tbe Interchange of pulpits has been marked by a spirit of finer fraternity, the people bare cangbt this splendid Christian contagion, and, as sug­gested by the Old Testament riddle, out of the very strength of denominational differ-

' encea has been developed the sweetness of the brotherhood of the race. It has grown Into a fact, also, tbe translation—to use the Scotch phrase—of a minister from one fold to another has come to be so natural as works following faith, or the collection be­fore the sermon.

When Robert Collyer came to Chicago, somewhere about 30 years ago, he had Jnet left the ranks of the Evangelical cbmcb, la which he had labored In the Keystone State In all hls long ministry In Unity chnreh he never ceased to look back with veneration upon the Methodist church and to express for U a tender regard. Hls namesake, Robert Laird Collier' was also a Unitarian by adop­tion, having, It used to be said, preached one year to a Methodist congregation on the west side of Wabash avenue and the next to a Unitarian society across the way. Bishop Cheney—In thdse days plain Dr. Cheney—was an ardent and efficient rector In the Protes­tant Bp Lien pal church, when a controversy with tbe late Bishop Whltehouse precipitat­ed, perhaps, the founding by Bishop Cum­mings, Dr. Cheney, and others of tbe Reform­ed Episcopal church.

The departure ot Profeeeor Swing from the Preebyterlan Chnreh and the movement re­sulting in tbe organlxatlon of Central Church are too well remembered to feqoire mote than mere mention. Another case affecting local Presbyterianism was that of the Rev. Dr. HcKaig, who preached In the neighborhood of the present Slgtta Priwby terlan Church, some of whose present mem­bers will vividly recall him and hla sermon on "Lot,” He remained here for ebme little time god then returned to the Paelfld coast, where he preached for a Unitarian society. The Her. N. F, Ravlln, pastor of tbe old Fifth (or Bereao) Baptist Church, as the successor of the famous Dr. Nathaniel Colver, became a Free-will Baptist, and for a time hsld’ssr- vines of a popular character in the West End Open House, Another Baptist clergyman was tba Rev. J. T. Sunderland, a graduate o| the Ghleago University^ who became a Uni tar' Ian and preached for a while away down near Thirtieth street and one of the avenues.

Bishop Bardoel Fallows, rector of BL Paula' Reformed Episcopal Church, was a distin­guished member of the* Method 1st ministry and a prominent educator before taking or­ders In the Reformed Episcopal Chnreh. The indirect eueeeeaor ot Robert CoUyer was George C-Miln, who had been a Congrega­tional 1st, and who Is now a member of the theatrical profession. The Rev. Dr.'William Alvin Bartlett, now a Presbyterian pastor at tbe National capital, waa one* -pastor of Plymouth Congregational Chnreh of this city. The name and conns of Dr. H. W. Thomas are sufficiently familiar that to mention him Is to recall hi* career «s a Methodist pastor and subsequently. The ministry ot the Rev. W. W. Craft* as pastor of Trinity Melhodlet Chnreh of this city will refresh the memories of many who reside lh the Booth Di vision,

plats who hATe accumulated great wealth by speculation and sharp practice*, and then use the same to fonnd a college or observatory. Garrison and Phillips, and Giles B. Stebblns and others who marched side by eide with them In their efforts to emancipate the slate, were as grand saviors as any of thofte enum­erated by the historians. The engineer who sacrificed bis life that others might live, waa a Barter In the highest and grandest sense of that term.

The religions world should commence deal­ing with live saviors. Tbe dead ones can not light the ges; they are comparatively useless to humanity. Those who eontlnae to cling to dead saviors—those who lived eigh­teen hundred years, or more, ago, expecting to gain salvation thereby, will eventually realise thBlr great mistake. The past has bad Its day. Tbe dead cannot be factors of the present, only as spirits, and can only communicate to mortals through mediums

Christ died, It Is said, that others might lire; that Is wbat the modern saviors are constantl/dolng also. If no one died, there would soon bo no place for coming gener­ations to occupy. Tbe present le- the great dealderatnm with mortals. It bnllds for the future, it prepares the way for the advane lng hosts; and each one Is a savldr In Just that proportion that he saves some one from hunger, sickness or error.

With these alight exceptions no mention Is mode of the Idea of a^ future life, no suggestion that It baa ever l>een an element In human thought. God, Christ, Catholicism and Pnx teslantlam are spoken of plainly and repeat­edly. We are told: ” 1 believe so much In God that I scarcely believe In any thing else,” bnt silence reigns on the great theme of Im­mortality; no thought la given to the larger and higher views of oar daily duty whleh It gives; no word glows with the golden radi­ance of a,faith which has brought light and. strength to millions In all lands and In all agej; tbe historic fact that the Idea of the Immortal life has been more lasting than tbe granite hills, and ilea at the root of all gTeat religions. Is 'silently passed by In a dis­course dealing especially with religious Ideas. A liberal clergyman, aiming to "toll what Christianity Is, while giving bis own convic­tions f/ankly and decidedly on other subjects, has no word affirming bis own faith In eter­nal-life and growth for every aenll

Tbe Chicago Herald glvea an account of how "The U tile Innocents " proceed In order to get tn foil MAdlnew t o c a l l a- pastor.”It Bets forth that several prominent charches of the city have of late been left ihepherd- less, and been forced to look &tfflat for buS to- bte material with which to fill their polpite. Committees have thereupon been appointed, largely with plenary powers, who have taken their Journey to other cltle* lu search of a pastor. They generally have gone incognito, so far as their official bnsineea Is ooncerned, and, registering separately or atdlfferent ho­tels, have by mere accident gone to the same church on Sunday. While there they take In carefully all the various details of minister and service. Thenlee and apparent quality of the congregation, the vim and dash of the service, the physique and volee of the minis­ter, hie elocution; geetnres and perioda are all as carefully Jotted down as Judges* notes at a stock show. Service over they meet and compare notes. Then they organize a still hunt for fact* and goaelp. They Inquire In­cidentally about his politics and society qual­ifications; about his methods ot organizing work, and hla popularity with various classes of community. They ascertain bow much salary he receives, and then take the train back to Chicago. If the Inquiry has been satisfactory they sit down and In the most apparent Innocence write the distant clergy­man that they have “beard" of hls work and It* success,and, raising hls salary $l.E00,they call him, urging him to .consider this as a direct summons of the Divine'Providence.

Of coarse, thq minister Is disturbed. Ho has a pleasant home and Is doing good. He has the confidence of hls people and has made by years of continuous labor a place for himself In their home* and their bearto. They are shocked to think of their pastor's leaving. But the Chicago cburcli begins to work and wire-pull; to have Influent!^ friends send favorable letters. After awhile ItnlMed the salary another $1,500, and final­ly succeeds In wresting a promise from the half-unwilling minister, who thereupon sor­rowfully announces to hls chnreh th a t" the Lord has evidently called him to go forth from among them,”.etc., and ere long he

To the scientific Spiritualist, death loses all Its old significance; It always has, always will fotlowJUxlfc, and like birth, la always tbe resQlt of natural causes. The only new thing ushered Into the world by |rtrtb la In­dividuality; the only thing that leaves the world at death Is Individuality as to whether

.Individuality ceases to exist when it separ­ates from the body, Is an open question to all but the Spiritualist, so far as any reason­able theory goes.—Light.

A writer In the Chicago Tribune says: V A telegram from Elmira, N. In yesterday's Tribune announced tbe suicide of tbe Rev. Jamee C. Beecher, the youngest brother of tbe noted Brooklyn preacher. The dispatch as­signed * severe mental troubles for a number of years’ as the cause of tjie act, bqt did not state bow those troubles—resulting in demen­tia-originated, Mr. James Beecher, It Is reported, on credible authority, believed— with bis sister, Mrs. Isabella Hooker—that Henry Ward Beecher was guilty of the offense the alleged commission of which eventuated In the celebrated Brooklyn trial of eleven or twelve years ago. This belief sq preyed op­en Jamee' mind that bis reason became pro­foundly unsettled, and hla mania finally as­sumed the fermof conviction that he himself was the guilty party la the Tilton case, and

"i w ar In danger of receiving severe punish­ment for hls vtcarlouBly assamed transgres­sion."

" Cora Cool ey, aged thl rtoen, eldest d Bligh­ter of Simon Cooley of Knox county, Iowa, complained of not feeling well on one Friday

.morning lately, and for that reason did not arise as usual. Nothing serious was thought of tbe matter, howetor, and not until Satur­day noon did the family feel the least alarm ad. At noon Saturday she told her father she wanted to Bee her grandmother, her own mother being dead; that she had been visited by an angel and was going to die. She then bade the family good bye one by one, and re­marked to her father that she would bo with him In spirit after death, and that If he was a good Christian man he would willingly give her op. Her grandmother was sent for and came. Soon after she folded her bands across her breast and (u that condition pass­ed away, apparently without a struggle. A physician had been sent for bnt did not ar­rive until ber eyes had eloeed forever. The shock upon her father was such as to pros­trate him. and for a time hls life was despair­ed of.

On Friday, Mrs. Emma S. Paal gave faei second leetnre, and on Saturday we Beard for the first time here. Mr. J. J. Morse, of Eng­land. Hls topic, "Modern Spiritualism In re­lation to the Religions Thought of the 19th Century." It waa eloquent and profound, the central thought* being that religion add Immortality were demonstrated through and by what are known as spiritual manifesta­tions. After this lecture, , as after all the others, the usual most remarkable tests were given from the platform by Mr. Slater.

The afternoon brought a tremendous crowd to see tb» fireworks advertised forth® even­ing. Th$y were tbe usual fcrotechnlo dis­play, roman candles, rockets, etc., and were exhibited from afloat anchored n few hundred feet from the shore. The reflections In tbe water made them very beautiful, and every­thing went "merry as a marriage bell."

Sunday morning. 22nd, ushered In a day which will be remembered as that when the largest number of people assembled who have ever visited throe grounds at any. one time, Several old campers .estimated there were fourteen or filteen thousand present. Mrs. Amanda A. Bpcnea of N. Y., was Introduced by President Beals as the first trance speaker of this country. Mrs. Spence began by say­ing that away back In lb e fifties when she mounted the roetrum, • the only women speakers were either in theaters or Quaker meetings. She said that previous religions had consisted of the formnlm of leaders and priests. In this country the religion of Free thought is protected by the constitution.Even Spiritualism has had Its leaders;among-Hi - - - -

Spence’s lecture given on Tuesday.af ter noon, on "The first chapter of the Genesis of Hu­man Development."

I most confess here that, needing rest of body and brain, your correspondent ran away to Elm Grove to spend 8unday with Mrs. Nellie Brigham. It was reposefnl and pleas­ant beyond measure, to spend a little while In that home whose gracious and graceful presiding deity ia bo generally and favorably known. To know a person welt, we must be acquainted with him or ber in private life. This home la one where spiritual culture baa had Its work of "sweetness and light," and to visit it la a blessing. Mrs. Temple, tho mother of Mrs. Brigham, Is Indeed a “mother In Israel.” Over eighty jea rt of age. she is waiting patiently and peacefully for that summon a which shall lead ber to her heaven­ly home. I have rarely seen each interior light, Illumining an earthly pathway,-such Intuitive comprehension of spiritual laws, or Bach sweet and child like faith lu Divine,order god goodness. “ When I go to sleep H la with perfect joy, when I awake U la ettjl joy and trust and serene peace!" What an example to others who have bad so ranch more to be thankful for, and yet who grope and grovel along Ufa’s pathway, looking down, not up!

On Sunday night Mrs. Brigham gave a dis­course, just at sunset, to seventy or eighty friends and neighbors, who assembled on the lawn, while she stood on the plana. She drew her text from tbe scenes before as, and as these bright and hardy country people hung upon her words, and I learned that she rode near and far to attend funerals and speak at gatherings, I realised bow great a power for good one trail little woman can be.

To return to the camp. Monday, the 23rd, was Children’s day., Eighty fire were gath­ered In the auditorium, where a large num­ber of grown-np children listened to their junior*, who gave very clever recitations and songs. They were tnen taken around the lake In rowboats and afterward regaled with a delicious loach. Tbe children's movement wss began by Mrs. M. B. Dillingham two -yean ago. She established here a Lyceum two years ago, with two bright boys as her first pupils.

On Wednesday, August 2Sth, the speaker of the afternoon waa Albert E. Tisdale, the blind medium, who has oply appeared upon the rostrum within tbe last two years. He speaks In an unconscious trance, without gestures but with Wbat pietists call " unction” and fervor, and hls brain Is used with remark­able power and rigor. As be la yet young, there Is a career of naefnloess before him, Hla topic, "The Secret of Power," showedthat be had fonod the secret, though we have no robm for the points taken, Just before be began to speak Mrs. Emma Nickerson, latelyof Detroit, waa Introduced .to the audience. Several subjects were giv«o her and sbe pro­ceeded to Improvise the words and music of a song from these tbemee, weaving them to­gether with great dexterity and poetic and musical ability. Mrs. Nickerson has a phys­ical and mental organisation of combined sensitiveness and strength, well cnltirated and developed, and we shall soon bear of ber entrance upon some targe field of work.

Among the mediums there Is mere than usual harmony, and a sense of mutual help­fulness. Of those giving teste from the plat­form, after conferences or lectures either by descriptions ef departed friends or psychom­etric readings, are a number more or lees widely known. Amide Maud Lord, Mr. amUfrank Baxter, who are employed , ___

end appearance on tbe platform fn bis medl- umshlp of nineteen years; James Copeland of Philadelphia, Mrs. M, B. Dillingham and Mrs. J .J . Clark. There am other excellent medlmns and healers, Including Dr. J. V. Mansfield; Charles T. Buffutn;Mary E. Leath­ers, whose kindness and efficiency as a medi­cal clairvoyant I have tested With happy re­sults; Dr. Towns and Miss Jennie Rklnd, the typical medium, besldo many others whom I do not personally know. We have attended- two circles at Arthur Hodges’ tent, and arc satisfied that Ip hls powers of personating, describing and giving names, there are no BClperlorB. He Is a young man who can be Implicitly relied upon. The transparency of hls mediums hip Is In great degree owing to his freedom from mercenary motives, hls genttenees and modesty. Mrs. Fates Is a wonderfol paycbometrlat and seer, and Mrs. Dillingham has very pure and beautiful In­fluences. Mrs. Sweet, frbm Vermont, has been actively engaged in the Odd for thirty- seven years, and says she expects to be till she Is translated. Carrie 8. Tbwlug’s re­markable gifts keep her fully occupied, but last, though not least, Is Mrs. Flavin Thrall, of Poquonnock, Ct. It Is worth while to visit the camp If only to meet this noble woman, who Jins exercised her gifts of medical clair­voyance ever since she was fifteen years of age. A rounded, gympathettc nature, bar very presence carries balm and blessing to iiintiy an nffllcted family la.tho valley of the Connmicat-

Meny entertainments for the benefit of tbe Association'or Individuals have been held, and there have been numerous receptions,all of which are of local, rather than genera! In­terest, The first was tendered to Dr. Mane field, who, by answering written questions at a dollar each, haa raised over |3Q for tbe association. It woe presided over by Judge Dailey, and the heart of tbe Doctor waa cheered by music by the band, speeches and toasts. Mrs. Maud Lord has also given a re­ception to Mr. and Mrs. Koscoe and anoth­er was tendered to Carrie Thwlng. After brief speeches by her friends, the piquant "Ikabod " took the floor and well Illustrated hls wit and wisdom through Mrs. Thwtag. Ikabod's prayer Is " one of the beet things ever addressed to" a Lake Pleasant audience to quote from an orthodox saying.

On Thursday afternoon another Immense crowd in front ot C. T. Buffum’s, cottage, showed the popularity of this young man in an afternoon reception. l am reminded that a correction Is to be made concerning the flrat spiritual paper ever published in this country. The paper mentioned In my second notes, called the “ Messenger of Light." waf changed to the H Christian Spiritualist," by Horace Day of New York, who purchased the PBper soon after He Issue.

just brought me a bound volume of tbe r‘Spirit Messenger," printed in I860, with A polios Munn and R. P. Ambler as editor*.

And now 1 am also reminded, bf tbe small picnic which on Tuesday went from these grounds to meet a party at Shelburne Falls, or rather, a spot on the hillside, over two mllro distance from that village. There Is an “ Indian rock" on tbe grounds of Mr. MHXam, which various media have testified was the rallying spot of many Indian tribes, generations ago. There are various com ba­tive evidences obtained by digging according to directions, and the place Is m magnetized that every medium susceptible to Indian Influence, given strong token of that fatt when standing on this rock.Influence, gives strong

after greeting Nellie Brigham gnd other friends, and disposing of a beautiful lunch, we bad abort speeches from Dr. Buff urn. Mr*, if. M.llathbun of N. Y„ t<j whom and to her good husband.

Mr.' Baffam and Mr. Slater, was greatly appreciated. Septra! Indian Influence* unmistakably manifested themselves. The occasion was bo delightful that the pirty resolved Itoelf into a "Maxatn ludlan Bock Club," with an annual meeting In August at the same place and as near tbe earns date as possible.

Tbe genial face of tbe editor of the Banner. Mr. Luther Colby, has become a pleasantly familiar feature at tbe. camp. He seems to be enjoying hla first visit at Lake Pleasant.

We find a great variety of opinions In this vast audience on Modern Spiritualism. These are based upon certain facte which we may designate ae tbe • foundation stones of tbe ,snperetractnro. Id tbe brief space allowed to ub we can bnt touch upon these alone. Spiritualism has claimed a wide range of theorlee. but I t seems to us that a just con­clusion could be reached by statements of what-you know, and not wbat yoii believe. It baa been said that It can never be an exact statement of thought; that It la a constantlyS owing faith, but so far as yon have gone,

•re should be an exact statement, and you should be able to say,M On these things L stand." If these things are not clear to your own judgment there mast be certain princi­p le and fundamental facta, and If we have not throe In all tbelr spiritual beauty. It Is bnt a rope of sand. We know, however, that

'It la a strong and everlasting cable of truth, baaed upon inspiration from an Infinite Ddty, that can touch and blud every human foul to the All Father’s love; bnt these most come down to abeoloto facta.

We invite you to the consideration of three cardinal points upon which modern Spiritu­alism most stand. We do not egpeet to carry conviction to tbe judgment r / th l* vast con­course.

If mediumshlp Is tbe corner stone of spir­it return. It mud be Intelligently used. If It Injures, If It Is demoralizing to the medi­um, cease to exercise tbe function. As hon­est meu and women this Is your first duty to cry halt. Bf£r In mind that mediumshlp when properjg understood can bring to Its aid the wisest and beBt souls In the spirit life, and If yon are able to do this, you ele­vate your mediums. If by their lives aud a want of a proper study of the laws and forces of medlnmshlp they attract to you aud them the low and tbe vile, sorrow and misery are brought to them.

Ypa may think that you have in your pres­ence a Plato or Socrates, bat you bare not tbe magriaat-oorrectly judging. Yon may think we are Harsli, and are not gi vlng the medium any sympathy. Are they different from the rest of humanity? Would you establish a hi­erarchy In medfumsblp? Nay. .

Mediums should strive to be pure, true and honrot and live up to their highest aspi­rations and intuitions. I t should be a psy­chological, physiological and scientific study. When the great army of mediums take op the cross of mediumshlp with the single eye to the troth, they will make a record that wilt shine In the future wlthja halo of Bring light, in harmoDy with nature, wisdom and truth. We give to all such as throe due appeclitlon. Take your cloudiness out of Spiritual Ism .and Its facts will remain. You take Spiritualism oat of the religious of all the a have nothing left but tbe she!

heart, and pull down a blessing upon hi* head. Tbe best proscription that mir' or angel can give to relieve your soul misery, aud tbe correspondent abnormal, physio­logical stale Is, Be like Jesus, and every vsufn best friend. Seek to make everybody add everything happy. Tbe good yon Intend to o\hers will come to you In divine measure, more than you give.

that all your Lest capabilities a/e used wiselyIn the exercise of your medimssblp.

The next stone, the second stone of Modern Spiritualism, is spirit communion, and thia must be utilized—and how? You are to un­derstand that you are dealing with human beings who, while they have taken a step in­to another world and are clothed,with Spirit­ual body; are possessed with the same traits of character and o( moral responsibility and accountability as when here. Then, again, you must consider that the most intelligent of spirits are but a very little wiser than the same class of beings who are living here and now. Yon must realize that there are no dead, but men aBd women with loves and

-hates; with aelflshness aad deceit with those also wbo aspire to be noble, good and true. Many who have realized -this i fact of spirit coiumu u I on think that they bqve got bold or the coat tails of jlod; disabuse your minds of this thought. Rascals who have gone to the spirit life would naturally ptay Into tbe hands of rascals here. Bat ypu ask, are they all rascals aud deceivers? No? hut we would guard yon against the pitfalls. This

.spirit communion brlDgs you ih rap­port with the spiritual bests, with youihowo spiritual friends, and It shows to you clearly and conclusively that they are not dead, and yon are,-to deal with them preci-ely as if they were with you here and now, no belter nor worse. The great majority who come are like the average of humanity; and when you have settled this second1 fact and laid downthis stone of spirit eomfounlon, you ask... . . f j . ..........................................

W. r . EVANS IS MENTAL CpKE,

The life of God Is Lots. Hb io»e is an in­finite droire to Impart bis own good tn other*. Tbe life of angels is a stream from this onl> fountain, and partakes of the properties of Its source. If we open our hearts to receive tbe influx of tbe divine and heavenly life. It will be in us a droire and duly to impart the good, with which we .ire blessed, to all wbo are willing to receive It. and are a Ynlwlve to It. Such la the true order of life; the nor­mal state of every soul. It la evident we can never attain to tbe highest well-being of either soul or body, ontil we come Into the divine order of our existence, and employ tbe aetivttj with which we are endowed. AC- cording to the laws of tbe celestial life, we were mode to Impart, to be the media through which God’s gifts eonld be transmit­ted to others. We are finite receptacles of the divine good and troth. We are not de­signed to absorb tbe divine rays, but to re­flect them as well—to be each a center of radiation.

One of the most prominent organs of tbe brain Is benevolence. Tbe mental feellng.of which It ia the outer Instrument. Is a desire to Impart, to share oor good with others. When this divine Impulse Is perverted lu Its action, our love terminates In Itself, and we become the center of our universe. Selfish­ness Is tbe fruitful root of more moral and physical evil and nnbappln*9s. than any other cause, tt la the perversion of the divioeet Instinct of human nature, a cessa­tion of the pulsation of the central life with­in ua. The only troe and happy life oo earth Is that of love. Wisdom Is divfoe. Troth Is a ray from God. Selene; and philosophy are a spiritual treasure, *ad desirable posses­sion. Wealth, official station and power are good lu themselves But the divtnest thing in the universe id love, an all-absorbing chanty. Blessed Is the man lo wboss inner natare It Is tbs supreme and governing prin­ciple, sad wbo hue consecrated himself to the good of universal being.

Disease Is often only a taste of supreme selfishness. I t is a law, universal and Im­mutable, that by imparting wp re'eive. end when ws waee to Impart: we case* to rssetve. and tbe stream of oor life begins to dry up at tb* fountain. The caudle under a bushel,

It Is the same In «rary other walk of life. Every visitor at a summer resort must have remarked th# entire absence therefrom of people who appear to need rest Th* tired mothers are not there. Th* weary man of bnalneat with an aim In life Is not there. Th* children of the gnat cities on whoa* pinched face* hardship has set its mark are not theta Each day's troop of arrivals rosy be watched in rein for them. There are more fat women and corpulent man at .the average summer resort than an to be found to any other place on earth. They have little to do at bom*. It la therefore easy to go away hud net It doeq not effect much of a change In their habits. They lead1 wherever they are, and they an always tired.

largely shape Its efforts and measure its. luooess. And toe controlling idea of a church does not always appear In It* covenant or manual.

The covenant may soy one thing and to# whole temper of the church say an­other.

It m»J be tint there le a kind of power In this, for many people select their church on this very principle. They inquire about Ita social attrectiona, the social position or lbs mem. here, the elegance of lie house, and to* comfort of Its seats. They are far more anxious about Its social standing than piety, more solicitous about Its refint- meui than about Ita Christian activity.

Rev. W. A, Pratt, an Iowa Unlteteallsl, recently gave bla bearer* a aornton o r “ The Heti of Legend and Reality," In which b# took the position that to* Bible bell waa not a place of outward suffering— where sinner* would forever be tormented lor satis­faction of divine Justice—but a stale of. morel dis­cipline, having for Ita object lb* good ot toe Individ­ual who suffer*. “ Christ nowhere aeeerta to* eod- leetneae of punishment," raid the reverend gentle­man, "and each a doctrine te directly oontrary to all the spirit of bla Leaching.” Continuing, he main­tained that toe punishments of Cod'bad for their etnUttio well-being of the human race, and said: “ Men talk shoot accepting th* atoning rectifies and escaping them. Th* physical blood of Christ Is put forward as a shield for Iniquity, and sinner* are urg­ed to get beblnd It that they may not be obliged to endure th* suffering consequent upon toelr evil ac­tion*, In these day*, when the commercial spirit rule* everything, and when defalcation and fraud are ot such frequent occurrence la the business world; when children are compelled toeee the fath­er whom they loved taken to toe gloomy prison-cell, and, heart-broken, toe.poor wife realizes that toe companion who lor yean has been the etrong oak upon which she leaned has yielded to the tempter end walked In way* of Iniquity; when suicide ta eo frequently resorted to through fear of toe to*me that follows the exposure or wrong-doing, the op- poslte doctrine—that If a man sin he must suffer— can not be too strongly emphasized. If there ta ooe truth that needs above al] others to be ita pressed upon the public conscience.*to-day It ta tills: If a man sins be must suffer—toe harvest ot sorrow and shame will aureiy ripen In that field where the seeds of Iniquity era eo wo,"

In conclusion, the speaker urged tost we were so- cuatoracd to pray that God’s kingdom might come and bl* will be done on earth as It *i In heaven, and that if ws were sincere la our petition we would not seek to escape tile discipline of that holy will so es­sential to our well-being. “I reject toe doctrine, therefore," he continue*. * because it is Impossible to concert* of tuch a terrible outcome to human life. And,, rejecting the vindictive bell of theology, we affirm this Inevitable hell of conseqnence, because It ta the teaching of toe New Testament; because it ta In harmony with that taw Which Is at the basis of alUrue philosophy and science, although we be- “ saTfwUlraaUnue beyond toe grave, wo can not

borne of Dr, R. T. Hollock of New York City, and be and Mrs. Slocum were ever reedy with open bonds 'and hearts to weloome mediums and lecturer* ot our faith. Mn. SUcutn was au earnest sod able advocate ot the equality of woman and devoted much of her lluio In the later yean ot her life to th* advocacy of tbta canoe In which oho bad the hearty co-operallou of Dr. 3, During these rear* they were mernbera of the tin t Society of Spin Insist* of N. Y. City.

When Dr. and Mm B locum became SpIrUoaUstn, It meant a good deal In those dare to openly ad­vocate this cause. It meant social, baslneea and re­ligious persecution, With Dr, 8, lb* thought never came, “ Will It be a popular faith?” “ Shall I be benefited or Injured by Its acceptance?” Nay! “ Bnt ta It the truth? " When conviction came to toe touta of these pioneers, their home was a tarrying place to the Itinerant lecturer or medium, and Dr. Slocum did not atop here In hla zeal and efforts in the cause. He with a few others built a bait or church In Gran­ville, Invited dlscuwloo on toe subject by dergyinsD, agnostics, materialists, and whst noil Dr. Slocum could bold no mean argument hlmeaif In defence o( the facta tad philosophy ot Spiritualism, fllH Mrs Slocum wo* an exceptionally able advocate of the. cause.

He was devoted to bta wit*.children and friend*; a man temperate in bablta, of strict morality, and be could not count­enance “ free love," no matter how glided. Such a spirit, when iteclenli* eternal borne, will not lose right of the weary workers wbo are still left her# to light toe battle, although be can exclaim in very truth, "I have kept toe faith!"

Mr. Jones declared he then bad no desire for con­troversy. Toward lha clow of bta dtaoourae he ■tatas; " I bare do right sod no desire to dose the debate as to what oonatitutss a Christian.”

After the uaaal manifesta­tions had occurred, the long dining table eras extended. ! leaf In Ite centre was takeneat! and a pall of cold water and the pall of hot paraffine brought op and pnt on the floor la the centre, and we sal around the table.

As soon asonr circle was formed the same erll influence took possession of Mrs. Nichols, and for an boor a stream of oaths and blasphemy rolled from her lips directed to me. The control said I was Interfering with bis business, and ••Damn her, I will kill her." I said “ No, yon are not to do any each thing. This little girl never could hare wronged you or any one

The next thing for them to do was to lake a cast of* my foot, giving It several coatings of the stuff. When the stance was over t took the mother of the medium nearly half an hour to scrape the stuff off with a knife. Had it not been for the natural warmth of the body, I should have had a perfect rw t of my foot made by IdiIi IMi banda. In too pall of water was some Afty or more fiagers; some almost perfect, others erode and Jagged. I brought so rue homo with me, and kept them until, after many months, they crum-

One of my socks was found on the top of a picture frame, high above the reach of any one pres­ent; my shoes In different parts of the room. It la nearly two years eiuce I have had an opportunity to aft with this mediam, but I .believe ihkNhe gave some altllugs last win-

^ te r at Jhdge Dailey's home, which were even mors remarkable than what 1 had witnessed.

Of course It Is Impossible to note my ex- irlefioes with the vnry msny mediums that ' ave known, In a newspaper article, or to

per let Ih a v

Bye an aceotint of their powers. I think I ne already written enough to show that all

mediums who are honest and sincere will becared for, guided and protected

j ft_____________ _ I know

many have Foamed to love their controls or guides very much,

"A llth is Is fair and rosy as you tell it, says tbs Inquirer," but cau you not also tell ns what yon know ofI f I L , MALICIOUS AND MISCHIEVOUS 8P IE ITS?*

Certainly, I know there are some who de light to come back to earth to mislead; who come with blgh-Bonodlng names and are always maklng’groat promises that are never fnlflllM. I toll “ ' “_______ . ,_ilnk mediums themselves arelargely to blame for this deception. Many of them, and this was specially so In the earlier days, desired to have Borne name for a control who had figured In history, and there are always spirits mischievous enongh to assame the name of Pontius Pilate, Julius

"bntyoa are certainly not ~ ~ the least; on the con

He answered that bo had worked on the farm.giving his name,which tb« lady recalled, and raid that the old man had cheated him. and bo would get even with him even if he had to kill the child.

1 eald, “ No. you are going to promise me here and now that you will (gave the child and not trouble her any more. We shall be glad to have yon come and nse this medium, and If you wish to write any communica­tions to your friends, yon can do so, and we will gladly forward them."

It was a long while before he would make the promise, but by kindness, gentle words and firmness the promise was Anally ob­tained, Immediately the guides of the me­dium resumed tbelr control, made passes over the child, wrote a simple prescription, and our circle broke up, . With thankfal hearts for this new Ilfs lesson inmedlnmshlp we retired for the night. In the morning the child seemed quite bright and much better. The mother went home with a gratefnl heart and In aboat a month wrote ns t^at the child was restored to complete health, and had no more trouble with the evil spirit; Thlssplrlt for quite a whits came and used the medi­um’s hand, and 1 venture to say that on her entrance to spirit life, no spirit gave her a more joyous welcome than did this one whom she had by her medlumshlp assisted to rise from this low condition. In all Mrs. Nichols’s medial experiences these two were the only instances whore n deceiving spirit or an evil Influence were permitted to nse her organism,

•* How did yon avoid J t r will be asked.Never did wo hold a circle or sit to give a

message to a caller but a prayer went forth from her soul that whatever might be given would be for the best good of the recipient; and during the eighteen years of her medium- ship,she saw and described at least three thou-

Anotber great danger to media rift Is sit­ting too long. To do so, Is posltlycly crlmln-ai; A friend, Capt. D„ who has since passed to spirit life, had a daughter, an excellent private medium. They had held their cus­tomary circle a t the usual house, and It was closed;'communications had been given to one person who dealred the medium to sit longer. Capt. D. had left the circle, Me daughter was controlled by an evil or de­moniacal aplrlt, and for two hoars she wrestled with that unseen but malevolent spirit, for the control of the medium, exert­ing the whole will power and force of his nature to restore the medium; he Anally suc­ceeded, and brought her back to her normal condition. Her gulden raid that In ber weak and exhausted stale. It was a positive Injury for her to be thus used; a severe lesson was this. I venture to say that at her circles the Spirit Father Is now ever near to gnard and protect her.

EVILS TO BE AVOIDED.Another serfons evil to be avoided in me-

dlumsblp is that of asking or expecting that spirits can And for yon a goldmine or a tor- tone. While there are Instances when spir­its have been able to advise personals regard to financial matters, and they ntojkbe able to impress one to follow a right pafK j t l l l I firmly believe that ft not their provlnftssnor the object for which commonIcatlon betweg; the two worlds was established. We shout remember that the vplrttoOQtof mortal form bare but marie one atop In advance of ua* and within are neither all wise nor all powerful. If they can show ns the way wherein we can grow better husbands and wives, sisters, sons and daughters, truer friends, better eltlxens, and aid us to seenre the right road for de­velopment. we should be content. While wealth ft desirable, the poorest man In thisworld is he who has money and nothing else.In all the years 1 have been a Spiritual!never have consulted spirits as to how could make haato to be rich, and In these lateyears I would not ask even if I thought this knowledge could be given to me,

KILLING T11E DEVIL.

A Carious Custom Annually Observed by the flic-Mac Indians.

What all the preachers of Christendom have yet falftfijjrticcomplleh ft yearly done by the Indians of the ResUgonscbe country —at least, to their own satis fact Ion. 9t. Anna’s Day every year they kill "the devil," an achievement whioh would be greatly to their credit were It not that the adversary Beems to come to life again every twelve months. At BL Anne’s mission, opposite tbs town, writes a Campbeltton, N. B„ corres­pondent of the Boston Herald, there gatheredyesterday a most motley and curious crowd. The steau__ steamer, Admiral, came np from Dal-bonsle, bringing some hundreds of French and Indians from along the lower Quebec coast as far as Gaspe. All the MiC-Mec* were en fete, for St. Anne’s Day Is one of the greatdays of-their year.

Orever muddy roads, past scores of calmly wallowing or nursing swine and piglings, the parti-colored throng poured on toward the Mission church. Smoked glass was es­sential to ths comfortable contemplation of the squaws. They wore neither hats nor bonnets, bat each dusk? head was covered with the brightest of bright bandanas. Handkerchiefs of varying shades of red glowed everywhere in the sunshine, giving the effeoi of a poppy bed, when several sqnaws met or rat or squatted together npon the grass. Skirts and jackets of brilliant hues put the soberer costumes of white sisters to shame, andjeven the men rejoiced now In red finn

THE EVIL OV HOLDING CIRCLES TOO OFTEN OH TOO LONG.

It bos unfolded, roanded ont, and developed the spiritual natures of thousands who bnt for this blowing would have borne many an anguish and *>rrow In gloom aud sadneee.

Presently up swaggered some yonng In­dians. decidedly of the hoodlum type, carry­ing gnna and pistols, weapons which would delight an antiquarian. They were Mul­locks and muskets which probably dated from Queen Anns. One rnsly barrel was joined to a home made stock which had ap­parently been chopped out of a «*pruce log.

THE RELIGION OF BEAUTY.

A Trance Address b j the Control or Jtr- J .Clegg Wright.

Delivered al IAp flail, Eighth rnirf Spring \ Garden Streets, Philadelphia, Pa.

(Reported tor the UeUAfo-pnllceopblcBl Journal.)

The noble Roman said that "beauty con­sisted In the combination of mnltltnde In unity," and this view of U was sanctioned by the excellent Coleridge. The skeleton ont' line ot a balidlng In not beautiful. Thu an­atomy of a picture la not beautiful. Beauty consists in the putting In of the proper light and Blinds In lit and agreeable unity. When Sir JoetanaReynoldB bad 1 i maed the a util n es of a beautiful face, secured the graceful curves and angles, the expression of tho eye. the si­lent pose of the lips, bta picture was. not beantlfni. Beauty had to come after In the gent In touches, putting In the colors and rounding out the form. In his lime therp woa real and fashionable beauty, consisting of spoiling the delicate graces of nature by caricatures. Gentlemen wore their wigs and ladles of quality pot dots upon their faces, Holds of honor would have died If they eontd not bare pnt on their dots; and gold laced

rapture and transport hare been great. When the Illusion of lore 1* over, then have they and their poor affairs been hurled into chaos fatally? That Is a poor, pitiable eoni, when the illusion of love has fled from It. Better let a tnau'dle truly than live when the Illu­sions of life have (led. What are that mao'sreligion and faith worth lu the pulpit when his Illusion of spiritual beauty Is gone? Aa soon as a man Unde a hole In his faith he is not worth mnch after that os a teacher of It.

gentlemen In waiting would'have thought the world was coming tv an end If they could not have had their wigs. Their follies hare gone their way and given place to other whims and absurdities, which will hare their day, then die, too. Bnt these ridiculous prac­tices did not add to tho charms of nature. Beauty consisted not la these thing*.

Nature is. the elernal standard ot the es­sence and qnallty of beauty. When we do*

Brt from nature we go wrong. Nature Is ai e final aatliorlty. _Bnt all men do not.sp(C i l

nature from the same plane ot sight; and. “ Indeed, how can we all see the same things In nature. Organization, ornicJatlon and education have the controlling power in reg­ulating onr perception of beauty. Thomas Carlyle baa made use of a saying like this, "that what the eye sees In an object the eye brings to it.** Ladles of America ryear rings upon their dapper fingers, bnt some ladles, In different parts of the world, pnt them In their noees. -The ebony children of Africa adore thick lips, bnt the esthetic dude of London and New York worships thin ones. It la ths same with Intellectual beauty. One scholar will fly off Into ecetacles with the sublime po­etry of Tennyson; another with caustic sar­casm will pronounce the same product ion ex­ecrable rubbish. Few young men at twenty will tike tbe subtle poetry of Shelley, bat at GO the standard of beauty will have changed, aqd Shelley will be read with pleasure. „

Old men, ripe with tho experiences of life, can appreciate the sublime thoughts set forth In tho ancient psalms of Daria. Before each works as these can be appreciated at all, the eye most bring somsthljng to them of a like nature. Moore la the poet of lore. A man can read Moore with a relish when be Is In jbe hay-time' of bis courtship. Oar cir­cumstances effect oar perception of beauty, ■•Beauty In religion la under the same laws. How we sometimes condemn and denounce a religion which differs front onr own. Oar standard we apply to another whose eye has other things In U and other things and necessities In it which ws see not. Millions

A man pursuing the subject of Spiritualism and thinking or fraud all the time will nev­er feel that angels are hovering round. There is no beauty higher than that of an angel, no Illusion motf sublime. The footsteps of a loving angel are sacred. A hostile critic cannot see beauty there; he docs not feel the Illusion.

I have seen men with stout nerves weep when the spirit of a mother has come to them. Tears of sincerity ore holy. When Lloyd Garrfoou felt tbe illusion of liberty, he had no doubt; doubt would have killed him. When a young man sees the pimple upon the nose of tbe onti he loves, yonng man. thy love I'-f lu ii Hickly [’ondithn, go uni] hang thyself forthwith. Tho critic In thee, and thoo wilt lose soon verily all that lore which thon hast. Get ont‘of it and save thy happiness. Thoo unbelieving Spiritualist, thy condition Is not a good condition. The critic Is In thee; tho Illusion must come, and* then thon wilt be happy and the circle room will bea heaven.

Why does the Church of Rome grow so fast in the earth? It puts down Its roots deep In­to the soil of humanity. Religion Is the Il­lusion of beanty. A Roman Catholic never allows a child to doubt. He feeds the Illu­sion. He never argues. Why did WiRlam Pitt eay that Butler’s Analogy of Religion had raised more doubt than tt had settlod? Because It appealed to reason, and reason breaks the Illusion of faith. Reason and re­ligion kill each other. A logical parrion h of no use, A Salvation Army captain Is the man. Moody can do more for God than 1,000 logicians, trained lu the profound dialectics of theology. He feeds the Illusion and de­bate stirs the waters of the Intellect. The power of Methodism Is Its feeling. God Is illusion.

Tbe painter, the warrior, and the ruler have their own Illusions. The power of the eznr of'Russia Is not formed of soldier#’ bay­onets—not of strong, fortified places, gnns and skilled officers; he has a power more sub­tle and dominant than these. Were these ail he had he would not be much. There 1# that power which is knowo as prestige; the pow­er of sacces#; the reverence of victory which often lu the emergencies of progress has led the nations on 'to success. The name of a statesman will sometimes provoke the enthu­siasm of the people so that any national ef­fort can be accomplished, auy victory made secure, and any undertaking, however exact­ing and arduous, conducted with success. Thu la the effect of the illusion of genius andlworahlp.

The memorable splendor of Roman Catho­lic worship Inherited from the pagan' piety ftf antiquity, transmitted with little change to thin day, appeals to tbe imagination of the falthfal with tho Irresistible demand ofa divine power. Poetry, music, painting

and sculpture combine to eularge and exalt the sentiment of devotion. The senses are led captive; the mind 1# awakened to ths sub- llmest spiritual emotion, and the logical faculty Is swallowed up la the firework# of devotion and faith. Tbe power of the priest becomes primal and supreme, and the affairs of religion the first considerations of Ilf#. That religion .of which he I# the custodian tod tbe anointed ambassador Is from God; he voice of God is heard In the worship of

the church; seeu In Christian devotion, acta of ehsrlly and self-denial. It Is blasphemy . . . . phis power. This

roonal life to such a degree that the most Interior and private

airs come within the cognixauee of the priest. The allurements of the spiritual world usurp the entire thought of the Chris­tian; be belongs not to this world. Coun­tries which have been long subject to tbe sway or the Roman Catholic Chorch show symptoms of material backwardness ana de­cay, while the Protestant notions have made great progress In trade, commerce and agri­culture. Roman Catholic countries have been steadily treading In the footsteps of an­tiquity, and have successfully kept back the spirit of progress. This is a terrible Indict­ment to lay down at the door of ths oldest Christian Church in the world, yet each Is the fact: and the danger of the present is that this church may yet reconquer these Protestant nations and again enthrone the faith of darkness,

> That the high culture of the nineteenth century Is not safe Is a thoogbt that fills tbe mind with dread and alarm. History dose not always accnrately repeat Itself, yet we see that the brilliant civllixatlons of the past have decayed; that the sword of the nsnrper, the religion of .the conqueror, the manners ot a victorious nation, and an Inferior clrill-

remoter ages. While the form of nations changed and revolutions destroyed mnch of the . contemporary thought and genius, enough has survived to cover them with glory os they set In the western sky of time. The beanty of the antique lives in art, literature* philosophy and religion. It stands powerful Jo the spirit of time. Old institutions are pnt aside with difficulty, We loathe to part with that which has grown up with our greatness, even though It may have retarded the growth, put back the consummation of liberty, and sustained for years the rigors aud corruptions of earlier times. The hand of the reformer Is raised lo destroy and up­root, and plant (he seeds of better Ideas tad institutions. He does not destroy the power aud unity of time, but he adjusts the growth of the exterior to the Interior development. Geographical changes In the earth’s- form, the constant rise and fall of nation*, the rise of commerce and lnv*ntlori“,and the on war I march of the human race. mdsAmean the re­adjustment of the equilibrium of mental power. It may bo for n time at Athens, Rome, Paris. London or Chicago: it ever reg ulate* its focus according to the existing conditions. The permanency of the-wauti Tul Is sustained. This persistency of Ihe il­lusion is the most remarkable thing /about the whole of human progress. At on* time It Is Democracy; then It Is Monarchy>dhen it Is Feudalism; then It la Federal Republican­ism. These forms of liberty and justice men are pursuing as keenly as ever. The Beantl- fnl never dies. But it has not by any means always ihs same power over men. There are times when It risen to a grandeur beyond ex­pression. which w ■ call flip herolP. The lov­er becomes Romeo; the philosopher becomes Rousseau, an-! the fanatic becomes Peter ths hermit. All are tbe subjects of illusion; bnt they are in earnest, all of them.

A religion Is powerful when it Is believed. It need not be essentially true; It may b* false; it will be a power if men believe tt. That Is beautiful which we think Is so. We are alt right so long aa we are there un­der that Illusion. What an lltnsioa was that which Napoleon threw upon France! The glory of the soldier, the tepted fie Id,'the rat- tie of artillery, the powder-begrlmmed tinsel, broken accouterments, fields of dead, and the Intoxication of victory. It mehnt something to those people of France. Napolebn thought It meant something. There was something else In It beside the brutality of murder. Men fought for souse supreme earnestness, some attainablediafiblnf'Hrt.—what y. n at this day, under those environment-, bat dimly gneiw at. France wde not France after the charm of ta r magictau had left her, SL

flena was the falling of the curtain on the ima of Fendatam. The oligarchy of Louis

IV. has forevepyaplshed; the beanty of old France had departed, and a new France had been born. The France of the nltfeleenlh 1= -unlike the France of the eighteenth century. Tho Ideal of beanty has changed. Who lo Ibcwo ehkbtio times could tell the character of the work they were doing'-* Who could see the end of It? They were all of them in the dark; bat they were in earnest; they believed; earnestness and belief can make a hero, a martyr, and a Savior.

Those legions of France under the magnet­ism of their Captai

t

saw some illusion be­fore them, WherLifint grand army was en­camped rm the height# of Bologne Bar Her it was Intoxicated with some ideal power— enblective vigor trying to get an expression. If those men had had their souls aglow with jostle#, reason and love, they would not have been there; they would have been at other work than that of following the great chief- tain-of tbe age. On those heights they stood, and with open eyss looked toward* England. Tbe masons were at work 1 building forts’ of defence to that shallow and difficult port at each side of the entrance to the harbor; men were-drilllng; the shrill voice of the officer was resounding In the cars of a brave army. The glory of the French arms was gathered •there under the eye of the great General, a galaxy of military genlnsl A sorry time for the world when It sees the like again. These men had all some sort of ideal—the thought

__________penland#. A centnry earlier had this been done, who would have suffered It? That .illusion of beanty Is gone, and they are not any long­er tolerable on the face of merry England. Men saw the folly of each Institutions; light bad rum*-, and tlio rl-Munce of drones was highly desirable. When'those monastic walls had fallen down the people stood nearer to God than they had ever stood before. Liber­ty often makee a tyrant her servant. One Illusion had gone, and' another had come. Will no truth etand forever? That problem

'is greater than man. Are we not prone to make our little Illusions eternal; but a blast suddenly comes and where are they?

The illusion of religious beauty stood at Its highest point when the Roman Catholic Cnurch had conquered all Its foes and plant­ed Its foot upon the neck of every state. That Illusion was the greatest the world has ever had In the reign of history. The belief In an elernal Creator of the universe exalted faith to its highest nolnt. It could never get high­er than that. J t could never get further away from Democracy. A supreme God put to death In faith other gods. Gop Is the perfect illn-

ist Gavelslon. A religion must have some sort of He murt be to It, Its fountain of honor. The clmrcb of the Dark Ages pnt him at the head of human affairs. The! church represented him through its priesthood. 11# ruled the intellects and- hearts of men. Who couldfind any fault with the rub; of a perfect an thority. so Infinitely wise and so Infinitely good? If God came and wiA? selected bysome American caucus and nominated for President, the opposite party would vote against him to a man. It wan not so In those Dark Ages. Men believed in God, He was the unbroken llluHion. This world wanted n perfect ruler then, and it neede one just as bad now. But what man amongst you at this time of day will nay or attempt to justi­fy the political wisdom of the church at that time. To do the wilt of the Most High Is still the atm of devotion. Bnt In a Republic It Is not of much account. Republican gov­ernment must ta atheistic government. Men are trying in this ug» to make tbe religion of Christianityand Democracy agree, but it will no more agree tlmn MMOb and geology. When God was thp head of the spiritual and political powers of Europe, never was justice worse administered and the principles of liberty so Imperfect. All good students of history kuow that. .

Take this illusion, and for a moment think of it,—tnat a king was appointed a rnler by God. He held authority by the unassailable tenure of Divine right. To oppose him meant punishment In this-Ufe and damnation in the next—a doobla despotism made.firm un­der the lash of abject devotion. ^That Illu­sion is as dead as negro slavery. There Is another illusion which haunts some minds nmongit our friend*. They are working for the muse of humanity now to be paid for it In the Spirit-world. Their spiritual ethics Is a perfect ledger ac conn Laud Red and bal-

Ths* Is a great and powerfnl belief yet—"the moral power of God.”. 1 most admit here that, un­der certain conditions.this old belief Is effec­tive, and on tbe whole tends to krtp the un­developed mind In subjection to the wise re­straints of religion, though It may be Impos­sible to give a “cientfflc reason for teaching that there I* a moral Governor of this uni­verse.

itable Influence of piety the enterprise of vir­tue has been neglected, statesmanship con­verted into hypocrisy, aDd schools of epecula- tlve divinity have usurped the place of schools of useful and solid learning. Agriculture has been neglected and dwindled down to the lowest stage, and liberty lteelf has hardly been visible in the state. Look at Spain, Italy and Ireland. In these countries relig­ion has been the irrepressible pestilence. In them can be found-the purest devotion. The people follow the dictates of the chorch, Tbe priest is omnipotent. Piety nowhere In the world has more accom plished subjects.

In those countries where liberty and free thought exist, tbe reverse of this stale of things is seen. The Protestant nations are In the van because they hate more liberty and less church. America with it# republican Institutions marches at the head of human progress. In those countries where thechurch has been supreme, God has given tb?m tbe fewest blessings of life. There the people have dragged on a weary existence without the true glory of manhood. Faith and pie!y have done it all. This picture Is not over­drawn; it is not a caricature; It Is not a malevolent grouping of the passions of his­tory. I ’ have not saturated my eloquence with the Invectives of thfcjige of Elizabeth. 1 sum, up the epitome of the law of cause and effect as ehown In historv. Faith takes from man the light and use of reason, and chains

seen in pure moral eoltnre and refined sym­pathy of tbe hpart, 1* too Important to paas- without a word. Gentleness and love, devo­tion and hoi I nee*, benevolence and humani­ty. are looked upon a* weaknesses In a state of society Utile removed from brutality. India has long had a religion which has excelled all otheis In tho extreme mildness of Its vir­tue and the completeness of its devotion. The people have lived upon rice from necessity, and called It tbe best food for mortals, and with religions panctilionfluees despised the fiesh-eaUng habits of neighboring nations; bnt India lies overthrown at the feet of a fifleb-eating nation. Ireland cannot build Home Rule upon a potato. What is easily produced tends to degeneracy and national Idleness and discontent. Virtue without courage Is like a man without a backbone. Courage without religion and virtu* I# bru­tal. The man and the nation mu-y go to tbe wall wllhout courage. /

The religion of beauty requite* tha cour­age of Oliver Cromwell, the philanthropy of Peter Cooper, the devotion of Saint Hilda, tbe elevated temperament of Melancthoo, the justice of Lucretia Mott, the love of David and Jonathan, and tbe sublime heroism of Serretos. If we could extract all the weak- r.esses ont of these person* and roll them into one we could Incarnate the rellgiop-of beauty.

Tbe religion of beauty has nothing In com­mon with tbe religion founded npon myth. It alms at wisdom as the highest power; it glorifies that. Wisdom comprehend# the eter­nal fitnee# of things- The man who hi the wisest Is the truly great man In humanity. Net the man at the head of tbe church, not ths President ot the United States; even these men are not by any means the greatest men In tbe world to day. Theu«ia*et man walk-

1. In reply to the query whether I believe that Adam and Kfw jwero a veritable man and woman, the u tw human pair on the earth, I would state that I am an evolution- 1st and cannot possibly accept the troth ol the biblical narrative on this and many oth­er points; and i fall to see wherein. In my article on the Adam and Eve legaods. 1 Im­plied my belief In the Geneealcal narrative. I simply eta ted the evident meaning of the Bible etorj. without, however, endorsing lie troth, the same os I should have done bad the legend been found in the Veda, the Quran, or the Booh of Mormon. The entire book of Geneeto 1» legendary and mythical, almost If not completely destitute of what may proper­ly be termed historical verity; end In thefour remaining book* ascribed to Moeea, and oeitlon with the Academy It penned resoln- ln the book of Joeboa, there la really very! i $ u in which It "most cordially" recoin-

G, The several timee repeated Insinuation, that the facte contained In my wrltlnga are derived principally from eneyelopsedlaa. Is unjust, and, 11 would seem to me, that to any careful reader of my articles. It Is mantfret-

8 erroneous. Upon examination It will be and, that only an extremely email part of

what I write to based on encyclopa>dlas; and In almost If not quite every cose, that which I qnote from such works Is merely confirma­tory of Information or facts derived from other sources, which other sources I stats as well. Aa we often dad eneyelopsedlaa an epitomized or condensed statement of that which to given at length In other books. I sometimes quote the condensed statements from the former, os being more Hulteble for a newspaper article than thC fuller accounts in other works,—at the earns time referring to the other books, as 1 did In the matter of Adam’s Peak. I hardly think It necessary to orally debate astrology to prove that I am not dependent on encrclopawl*A for my knowl­edge. For, several years I orally debated at nearly every passion of the Leavenworth, Km sas. Academy of Science, with clergy­men. doctors, lawyers, and scientists of vari­ous kinds; and at the termination of my con'

little gen nine history. In the book of Judges we And some ancient fragments of historical tradition, and In the books of Samuel we stand upon solid historical groand, to some

- eitent; though even here a large portion of the narratives Is unreliable and legendary. Such are the demonstrations of the htotarlco- critlcal biblical science of to-day, as ex-

Esanded by Kuenen, Wellhansen, Robertson mltb, Tiele, and the other masters In ra­

tional biblical criticism and research.. £. Not only does the Bible teach the de­scent of the human racs front an original monogamous pair, bat It the second time de­rives all humanity from -monogamous rela­tions in Its narrative of the deluge. It as­serts that^ttfiTWiole human family Is tbs offspring of Noah and his one wife, and of Noah’s three soils and their three wives.— four monogamoofl unions. Genesis vll. 13, says that Noah and hla three sons, and Noah's wife, and the three trite# o f hit ton*, entered the ark. Verses 14—16 also tell us that tffo and two of all flesh on the earth, In the ani­mal UtTgiToihivmale and female, went into thejafk. Thereto*©. according to this writer or/tbese writers (there being more than one hand discoverable In the composition of tbe narratives of the deluge), all the animals on

- tbe earth, Including man, are tbe offspring of monogamous anions,—of matings In pairs.

3. As all authorities assert that all the legends connecting Adam with Ceylon are Muhammadan In origin, with which the Hin­dus and Singhalese have no connection, H to clear that these Arabic legends dating only from the Middle Ages, and based primarily upon the Hebrew Bible narrative*, whicl Mohammad accepted as true and incorporat­ed In his religion, can lend no weight to the allege! story o ra Hindu or Singhalese Adam and Ere. Adam's Peak and Adam’s Bridge were first so-called by tbe Arabs and were so named In honor of the Hebrew Adam, whom the Arabs accept as the father of mankind,— there beltfg no each thing as a Hinda or

. Singhalese Adam. It was unnecessary for me to speak of i l l the Arable legends about Adam In Ceylon, each as his standing on one foot a thousand years, and tbe so-called Adam's Bridge, which the Arabs so named because, In their legend. It wasnsed by Adam to cross to the continent after hts expulsion from Ceylon. Had I named them, my posi­

t i o n would have been strengthened thereby, ss they are all Arable, not Hinda In origin, and totally foreign to the Hindu Scriptures.

4. The falsity of the pseudo-science of as­trology has been settled for all time by the concurrent volcaof the scientific wisdom of the world. It flourished daring tbe Dark Ages, when'Ignorance and euperelltlon held sovereign sway; bat tbe assured troths of modern astronomical science, together with the growth of common sense and enlighten­ed reason'ln Jibe world, have killed It; and It has been quietly laid away In the thickly- crowded mipsolenmentodiblngthe exploded superstitions, fables, follies, and pjendu-sci­ences of past ages. There astrology peace­fully sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Never more on. this planet can Its vagaries and assumptions engage the attention of the Intelligent or the wise. The dead shall not be distorted. Bequieieat fa pace!

To eerlotuly debate the troth or falsity of astrology In the nineteenth century would

. be about as great an anachronism astode- Nbato the troth of the old Chaldean mylholo-

gTr-from which astrology sprang and upon which It waa based. The fundamental eon- erosions and the basic principles of astrology wre derived from the theories entertained by the ancient Akkadians concerning the nature and attributes of some of their principal

Els,—Imaginary beings, with Imaginary at- bates; and npon these Imaginary charac­

teristics df Imaginary beings was tbs Imag­inary science of astrology reared. And fn this age of the world It wonld be as perti­nent and of as much utility to debate the troth of Akkadian mythology as a whole, os the troth of that part of the~satd mythology which has been called astrology. 1 doubt if a single sclent!flo mind in this world wonld seriously consider tbe Idea of holding a de­bate, with a professional astrologer, on tbe troth of astrology, The Idea wool if be laugh­ed at, held In derision. I t Is useless to far­ther kill (so to speak) that which la already dead, dead, dead I For ms to engage in de­bate on this question, with a professional aatrologUt—with one who gains a livelihood. In part a t least, by casfltog horoscopes, and/

mended mo " to scientific and literary per sons everywhere as an able thinker, a ripe scholar, and an earnest. Bind thus, and Indus- trlooa worker," The Leavenworth Unify Timet also said:M The removal of Prof. Cole­man will be a serloas loss to literary and sctenUflc circles In Leavenworth. He is an active thinker, an able and fluent writer,and a man of broad and varied Information. RH absence will be a serious loss to the Academy of Beionce.” As l have nearly 3.000 volumes in my private library, besides access to tbe public libraries of San Francisco, it Is un­likely that 1 should he largely dependent upon encyclopedias.

0. The " vituperation ” found many times tn my writings Is as a rote the simple troth somewhat plainly and forcibly expressed. When parties garble or otherwise misrepre­sent facts, I usually so assert In unmistak­able language; at tbe same time demonstrat­ing the truth of what 1 say by twrfaffm, a c c u r a te citations from the garbler, etc., ind'from the beat authorities. And yet, be­cause I tell the truth concerning these mis­representations and literary forgeries, I am severely criticised as vltnperative and abus­ive. Falshood and misrepresentation merit censure and exposure. In order that the truth may be subserved -and the right established. It a person knowingly misrepresents, he Is the one to be blamed, not the lover of troth, who exposes his falsehood In Its true colors. The only true policy Is to be straightfor­ward, upright and downright, to speak and defend the truth, and oppose andexpose error and falsehood, at all timee. Above all things else In the universe, be true to the truth!

However, owing to the remonstrances of both friends and Toes. In deprecation of tbe severity of criticism In.whlch I Indnlge In my expositions of error and nntroth, I shall hereafter endeavor to modify my style of criticism,—write in a milder and softer key, avoiding the too free nse of saperlatlvea and other epithets. Thobgh, In so doing, there will doubtless be an-lmprovemeut as regards the style of expression, ye ti fear that thereby a suppression of portions of the Iruth wiU be necessitated; that Is, provided tbe future subjects of criticism be of a similar character to those of tbe post, which, let us hope, may not be the case.

7. It Is a little surprising that, because I essay to be Jnst to the blbte, Jesus, and Christianity, and defend them from falee at­tacks, I should be bontlnnally criticised as if I were an orthodox Christian by those who know that I am not a Christian In any sense. Is It on: Impossibility for these extreme antl- Chrlsllana to conceive of Bach a fhjng as justice to an opponent? I have been for nearly 30 years an opponent and critic of Christianity; nevertheless I am charged with trying to make the blble the oldest book in the world (although It Is known that I proved In my controversy with B trJ . P. Newman

charged with believing the truth of the blbte accounts of creation. Including tbe "rib story,” (although I have repeatedly stated my nMar/disbelief in the biblical legends). 1 amxharged with trying to bolster up the

'Bible God (although the title of one of my tracts Is "The Bible God Disproved by Nature"), and I am charged with Jeans-wor- shlp'(although I have often freely criticised the defects, mistakes, etc., of Jeans, and have written a whole hoik against Christian Spiritualism). What I shall aver oppose, and what every honest person should oppose, is tbe nee of falsehood and unjust criticism

I have never made any claims to great scholar- ship, and In comparison w ttn . tb» really, learned men and women of Qor time, r m gaid myself is^nlya^sm aU erer.’’* The lit-

,tle knowledge T may Dave acquired by study and research la aa nothing compared with tbe n e t ocean of Intelligence over which I have not sailed. As to; the scanty scraps of knowledge I may possess, I think my various writings sufficiently attest their verity, pud I think that it is not Deeeenryio debate on such a subject of astrology (a (parlous sci­ence (?) not taught tn anywcbooliu Christen­dom I believe, and a knowledge of which la not considered a necessary port of oar educa­tion) in order to demonstrate tbe extent of my scholastic acquirements.

What leave written has been In the interest of historical truth, not In favor of the Christ­ian religion In which I do not believe, nor of the Bible, which I regard ae an Imperfect, faRlble human production, like other books, nor of Jeans, of whom I am not a follower, and the doctrines of whom I look npon os a

Troth to troth,.

shall endeavor to present what thbnghto-I have, aa J am only cm the threshold of the doorway entering into a vast field of un­known knowledge. It Is well known that there exist *' hot and cold ” waves sweeping down upon ue In the various seasons of the year. We are made aweroof their approach twenty-fpur hoars In advance. JThesa physi­cal waves of tomperalure are susceptible ota general classification Into "cold and b«ar They also can be accounted fotyaa to causes, and from whence they come Kjry accurately. That these waves of varying temperature have existed, since the advent of onr globe, cannot be doubted. It la, however, bat a short time since the mind possessed any defi­nite knowledge of them. Meteorological sci­ence Is an Infant awaiting teachers to unfold It, First the physical, then the spiritual; that la, the knowledge of the physical comes first, and as the mind expands the spiritual opens up to view.

Psychic wave* of force exist aa surely bs the heat waves, tbe cold waves, the electrical or magnetic waves. They^jtrtfai'aneceptlbje of ctaasl flea lion aa the physical. They have their origins, their lines of movement aud rate of speed, varied by ©nvlronn^enp.- They have effects which are beneficial oto the Inhabitants of earth. Tl------- ,from snpernal spheres will be predicted onr knowledge of them increases, The raeth oda by which they aro generate are already known to those who nave studied psychic science.

CLASSIFICATION.In the attempt at classification, crudeness

will mark the effort. A general division may couslst of two classes founded upon the source from which these psychic waves cothe *—terrestrial and celestial psychic wave#. A farther subdivision may be made based upon tbe effects produced In tnteusc action. Since the essence of alt force to Invisible, there must be a third division denominated the

Over-Soul” psychic wave.TOE PROOF OF THEIR EXISTENCE,

The proof should have preceded logically the classification, bat I sesame their exist­ence, and aa 1 proceed in the unfolding of tbe topic, the proof will become apparent to all, who cap or may know of the truth or falsity of my theme. Since tbe brain of man to a double organ, having a double function, physical and psych Ic, U, therefore, generates psychic waves of force, so 1 donomln&le that the terrestrial.

One of the moat itriklQg and-dramatic death-bed scones ever aketebad by the master band ot Charles Dickens to that of the old Bladderstoue carrier, Barkis, id "David Cop- perfleld,” which. It not the moot powerful of Llekeas’ creations, and occasionally a Uttle garrulous, undoubtedly possesses a Rem­brandt perspective and a felicity of Imagina­tive lonch exceeded by no other. From a boy of ton my remembrance of the plctnre of the rough old Yarmouth fisherman, whispering behind bto hnge, horny, ealonsed, uncouth band: "He's going out with the tide," has possessed the peculiar reality of somethlug actually remembered from visual contact, luftead ot the mere vivid nos* that inhere# to the remombranee of scene# more or less graphically described. If physiologist# are correct In ascribing to the retina, of the eye a memory of Its own, independent of the mere cerebral recollection# of Impressions, tbe explanation of thl* fact to obvious. Rec­oil action# of scenes, face# or situations, which date from previous visual Impression, and depend upon the faculty of the retina for reproducing Images, are-neeesflurlly im­bued with a certain photographic vividness

fidelity, to which the recollection or tl pictures produced by reflet action but

dimly approximate#. Biographers say that Goetn© and Shelley were girted with a rare faculty of secondary vision, not shared by any common humanity, which enable# them at will, hg mere effortaof the memory to re- produccAipon the rellnb-o taj^ eye impres­sions that had once been projected npon that delicate membrane, and thence transmitted to the brain—a faculty whose inflnonce can be traced In tbelr literature, in a certain

fdctorlal quality Imparted to ecenes purely maglnary, as well as In a certain graphic

tone of Imagery and description.Not many handlers of the pen, however,

poets or mere romancers, gifted with second­ary vision or not. have ever acquired the wizardry of touching their descriptions with the simple and direct reality of optical Im­pression. Such magic of tbe pen pertains only to masters, and to them only In tbelr highest mood#—momenta of snpr.emo com mand of plastic materials sneh as-the reader may wade throogh pages of common-place to discover in the beet writers. All the works of Dickens contain scarcely o.score of sneh passages; and no other British writer, except Mr. Charles Kingsley In "Alton Locke," and George Kllot In "Silas Mnrner," the least of her creation# In balk, th© finest ana most ar­tistic In reality, has ever touched, In evanes­cent glimpse# even, this supreme summit of descriptive excellence.

The simple, direct, artistic ptetaresquenesa that appears In the narrative of the death of Barkis—ok If the writer were describing from Ufe—to thus, then, probably doe to hi* familiarity with a superstition common to maritime population, that the sonto of dying men pass away with the tld e -o a t—ont—far out to sea. The touch of mystery with which the superstition to imbued, woo of a kind to quicken the aCttvb. sympathetic imagination of Dickens; and the reealt appears In the wizard death-bed picture evoked by that con­jurer with the pen.

Bat to this weird belief about the souls of dying men going oat with the tide—which I find as deep-seated and strong with the ehrewd, hard-headed, horny-handed farmer- Qshermen of this old New Kogland town (Madison, Conn.) as Dickens did, no doubt, with the bloaters of old Yarmouth—merely a groundless, bat very nslaral, superstition of sea going race#, or to It a fact that for some reason not yet fathomed by science, th© sick, old and enfeebled are more apt to die at ebb-tide than when the tide ,1s rising? I re­member, apropos of the foregoing, the med­ical superintendent of one of the largest and finest asylams for the Insane In this country once remarked to me, speaking of the ancient notion of the moon exercising a potent influ­ence on the nervous system of man, that the cycle of recurrent phases through which the mind of a madman periodically passes seldom or never varies from the limit of one month —that to, coincides substantially with the moon's aspects. The learned expert did not

Sretend to explain why or how this colnci- ence occurs—pDly that such to the faet, and

(hat Uib ancients denoted It In tbelr deriva­tion of the word lunatic. In a similar man­ner, speaking with a prominent physician In this section of the State of Cqnneotlcaf, whpstr practice embraces the three-shore towns of Guilford, Madison and Clinton, with a large fishing and coast population, the old whim that men arc prone to die at ebb-tide than at other honrs of the day crops out from a source that entitles it to consideration.

The following extract from The Sybil, amai tells women:■ " Tho greatest obstacle woman baa to en counter in her efforts to bo eclf-eupportlng, Is public opinion. The so-called genteel occupa­tions are crowded at starvation wages, while many Helds in which woman Is eminently fit­ted to shine, are left with tittle or no competi­tion, for the sole reason that polite (?) society withholds Its sanction. This popular preju­dice, which makes the position of a sensitive and refined worklngwoman so painful,might be In a great degree removed, It women of means and social position wonld give the right hand ot fellowship to respectable wo­men who are striving by honest ftieans to gain a livelihood....

" Insurance business la another in whichwomen hare been known to bo very succeed- ful, and there la no reason why women should not engage In it, (specially as It does not re­quire aa much previous preparation as many employments.

“ Many women bare been very successful In the culinary department, acquiring a wide reputation for lliolr skill aud often establish­ing a prosperous business. Several instances In Elmira, Williamsport, Canlsteo,and vicin­ity, were cited by the girls as having come wlthlu the circle of their observation. - An anecdote waa related of a young woman who,

£ canning fruit foreale, earned sufficient uey to send her brother through college.

Women may be very successful as florists or as gardeners, in raising early vegetables for market; in raising chickens with the aid of the Incubator, and in eclilng eggs; in dairy workaud In simllar'occapatlons.

“Aa incident was told of a young lady -whose father had been president of a coa mine, aud who, after bis death, carried on tbe business of the mine with entire success. The question wasaskod, 1 Why are not women ofteuer employed tn bnylug goods for mer­cantile houses?* They are certainly acknowl­edged to have superior taste Su selection”

Magatiue, edited by Esther T. Hoash of Brat- tleboro, VI., h u , In a late number, a sketch ot the life of Rev. Clara M. Blsbee, under the title of "A Teacher of EthicaLCultnre.'

Clara Babcock was the daugh al Unitarian minister, who live* at the time of her birth, at wh! devoted herself to missionary she was ten years of age. After that she studied music for several years, but aa her highest attraction was for ethical growth and the perfecting of human life, the minis­try seemed to be her vocation. Accordingly she entered Harvard Divinity school In 187s, and passed through the regular course, in­cluding th* final examination. As no degree can be conferred on a woman, she lacked that seal otauccessfal study. During her last year there, thirty fellow students petitioned that Miss Babcock should be allowed all the prlvl- legeaof the school which were open to them,— a petition which was vetoed by Pres. Eliot. The students, however, were most kind and courteous, despite tho red-tape which kept tbelr peer from her rightful position. Hebrew wasau optional study; all declined to pursue It except Miss Babcock, who continued It alone.

She soon after sailed for Europe, where she became the wife of the Rev. Herman BIs- bee, a UnlversallBt minister of Minnesota. She eomatlpiea occnpled the pnlplt with him, before hie death In 1870. Soon after thisaffliction, Mrs. Blsbee became a regularly ordained pastor of as odety at Dorchester, Mass., by aconncl! of Unitarians.

cR IC aHO, ILL., Saturday, Beptember l l , 1886,

An associated press dispatch from Charles­ton gives an account of the experiences on a passenger train during the earthquake. The graphic writer says the rails In places were bent” la reverse curves, most of them taking the shape of a Dingle and others of a doublo letter S placed longitudinally/’ The train, says the dispatch, was filled with hundreds of excursionists returning from the moun­tains. They were all gay and happy, laugh­ing, when all of a sudden the frightful shock came. The reporter then gives the particu­lars “ in the language of one of the exeor- slonftts." Here Is a part of U:

Woman’s Hoar—The Spiritual Era.

Not by chance or accident Is this great up- rlslflg of womanhood. With the dawn of a higher spiritual dispensation come* an awak­ening of the best women to a new and high­er senne of doty and responsibility, such as was hardly possible In the past. We all catch the first breath of a new atmosphere, mors ethereal than of old; quickening and uplifting spiritual Influences are felt; there are

“ Angel* on th e slan ting ra ja ,T o lca ^ fro m tb« open ing ik lre .”

Woman’s fine nature, subtle pad receptive, rich In spiritual wealth, cannot bat be en­larged and stirred to new life. She feels the power of her own personality and aspires to do more and to be more. She would not lose any wealth of affection, but would he larger- ngtnred and more self-poised. So college doors are open for her cult ore and a quick­ening Influence stirs the dull families of her brother students, white their miserable self- conceit Is taken away. Work anfi self help open to her on every side; her first Bteps In new paths are sometime* tottering and un­certain, but she soon walks with Arm and bnoyaut tread. A sense of duty nod respons­ibility growl, a feeling deepens that she most help in the world’s worfcj and that It will be Imperfect without her help. A sense of Justice grows too.Xifshe suffers the penalty of the law. she mustdielp to frame that law, and shape Its penalty, hence the call for wom­an so ffrage. She ha? taken her place In onr literature and Weeded out Its coarse vulgarity, while enriching and Increasing Its value and power. The best women begin to see. with the best men, that It is not good for man to be atone, bat that men and women must act together, and that the world needs the in­spiring spiritual Influence of woman,

Spiritualism 'Is an opening and a culture of the epFritnal faculties to alt who thought­fully take It up; It Is a pulsing tide of spirit­ual lift* from the open gates of heaven. Hence It follows that woman takes her place with man In that field to act and speak aa his equal cq,-worker, without any discussion or agltfotofi—none were needed, for Intaltlon Is deeper than argument. - The great spiritu­al movement is for woman; its genius,and spirit open all doors for her- AH the world breathes the new air, and so help comes to her from every quarter, and, best of all) she la inspired to help herself as never before. No

. reports of any society of cultivated men In onr land are so rich In wise thought,couched In strong and flue words, aa are the annual reports of the meetings or the Society for the Advancement of Women, which gives os the addresses s t their ■unuat’eongroM.

Everywhere.^ women, are thinking with new and contagious earnestness, and their thoughts are going but to be read. A late number of the Foma* has an article on " Woman’s duty to WotnatJ" by Ella C. Lap- ham,—a young lady so situated that she could, if she chose, lead a life of plegant and superficial Idleness and selfish ease. But she baa the precious heritage of good blood, reaching back to her Quaker grandparents who shared the, Inspiration of Spiritualism, and she has breathed the new atmosphere, so that larger opportunity meant to ber more duty. If aba has received much she must gife'mnch, and writes in this spirit. Of the mother’s duty to the daughter the say*

best h e could in th e sg o o y of tb* m onrenb th e b « t advice and counsel Ire could offer. T h e tra in wiui Urea taken back la th e d irection o f Jed b u rg , and o a th e way back th e w ork o f th e ea rtiiquaxn waa te r­ribly patenL Th* tra in had ac tually pa***d over o n e of tin * * ee rpenlln* curve* already described, and It I* th e sim ple t ru th to H a le th a t every eoul on board wa* eared solely th ro u g h th e lnlerpoalU oa o f a d i­vine Providence.

It is quite apparent from the above that Rev. Capers w a s not so qxbausted by hla efforts as to render him Incapable of supply­ing the reporter with a history of the Inci­dent.

This Is the only Instance the Journal has noticed In accoonta from the stricken region, wbete ” divine Providence” Interposed nerv­ing band.

is It not somewhat singular that while the great earthquake of August 3|st, was busy shaking up matters at a fearful rate in Sontb Carolina, the solitary case of Interposi­tion of D iv in e . Providence should be where the " Rev. Ellleon Capers " was on board a train when tho ehock reached lt?

But the more one Investigates this subject the more singular it becomes. One Is fanied to inquire what mysterious influence brought about this special Interposition? Was it be­cause the Rev. KUlson Capers waB on the train? Or. was It on account^!, tho unusnal piety or the telegraphic news reporter? Or did the gaiety, laughter and happiness of the excursionists contribute to that end? It la of vital Importance that the eolation of this qaestloirbd'’reached in order that hereafter people may know how to shape matters to have “ interposition of divine Providence," whenever occasions occur where such inter­ference would serve their convenience.

And as the problem becomes moro complex we are. compelled to aak, who la this “ divlne- ProvideuM ’7 who so readily interposed to save this special train, and it* favored oc­cupants? Was it the same ’’ Providence” who quietly folded his arm* and styod list­lessly by In Charleston, while the city was being destroyed, many of lie Inhabitants killed, and many mere braised, mutilated and maimed, and over one-half its popala; tlon rendered homeless? Was It the “ Provl dence” wbo formerly taught the people-to

bondmea and bondmaids of the heath- to'bfl servants unto them and their ebll-

charlot to the destruction of towns and ham­let* and the slaughter of their Inhabitants; who lashes, with hla stormy whip, old ocean Into fury and .eends the goodly nhlp freight­ed with human souls to the bottom?

.The Bible tells us, "God 1* no respecter or persons." This, then, would do away with the idea that lt was Ho who ’’ Interposed” to save tills special train on account of “ Rev. KUlson Capers being aboard;’’ while entirely unprotected by this particular “ di­vine Providence,” mothere la Charleston were ruthlessly torn from their nursing babe* and hurled to destruction, and fathers snatched by death from their dependent and disconso­late fnmllle*. If this ” divine Providence ” is such a repeoter of persons as r e p r in te d In the press dispatch, hi he not some pagan god who stepped In a t that particular time to show what he could do In one place and leave undone in another?* t

la this particular case one la In tb^gome predicament *a a party similarly *Haatetih<^ Bible times, who exclaimed—” The ways of Providence are Inscrutable nod past finding out.”

After all, the “old lady” ho* perhaps ex­pressed tho Idea a* tersely as possible, “I was taught,” said she. “ to ’trust in Provi­dence’ and I fillers did till ono\lay when I was gola’ down hill with the old mare and tho wagon, when the brecchln’ broke and I found that Providence wouldn't taka care of me, so I inmped out and took caro of myself.” The ancient proverb truly says, “The gods help those who help themselves.”

While the best solence and skill cannot al­ways prevent a catastrophe, It will go very far In that direction, and la certain to accom­plish more than all.bJInd trust in the fanat­ical Idea of “special interposition of divine Providence.”

The J o u r n a l ha* profound faith In a wise, beneficent, Bupremh.rIntel 11 genee, called God; It would on no account appear Irreverent or treat so stupendous a theme otherwise than soberly. Bnt the J o u r n a l ha* no respect for a preacher who will advertise hi* own prowess and hi* favorable standing yrtth hla God as doe* Rev. Capers.

Had a Spiritualist been on board the train and reported that a band of powerful spirits, foreseeing the effect of the earthquake, had combined to Dare the passengers and keep the wheels on the track, the statement would have Ijpcu hooted by Capers, Talmage & Co., and denounced as “Impossible, or if possible, then a diabolical interference with an act of fluty.” Yet theHplritualist’s statement would have been vastly more probable, on scientific groontys, than the assertion that “divine Pro vldence.ln Imposed,”

The Rev, Calvin £ . Stowe.

Tho Hartford (Ct.) rimes speak* of Rev. Calvin E. Stowe, who lately passed to spirit* life, as being a firm believer In spirit com­munion. ItejkyMbar~"one of his marked characteristics was his strong faith In the life hereafter. It was In hi* case something iqore than faith; it was knowledge. And It was knowledg, derived from actual personal

perlence. Ho was aware of the reality of

dren forever? Wo* It the ” Providence ” who thus permitted the daughter to be ruthlessly tom from h « mother’s arms and sold upon the auction block for any use or purpose? Was It the sauiQ ” Providence ” to whomUon- fedcrates prpyaffor success Id their frantic ^ffort to destroy the Union in order to uphold {he “ sacred Institution" o£ slavery, and who turned a deaf ear to their e n tre a ty and

loceatwho kills the Innocent babe In Its mother’s lap, and saves the wicked wTBtct for a longlife of crime? Who was th is d iv in e Provi­

so glibly spoken of by the ” associatedeoeeed press reporter” ? We have searched In vala to find him. Thp Inexorable law of cause and effect harentirely failed to reveal him. Is fae some Blp Van Winkle who only wakes np at long intervals to listen to the sweet talk of the Rev, KUlson Capers and by his presence at the "m eeting” mysteriously eaves the train from being wrecked? Was it the best advice and counsel the Bev. Ellison Capers could offer, which be was " conveying as best he oould in the agony of the moment that kept this ” divine Providence” on the train-to “ Interpo* ” for Its safety, white frantic mothers, frightened children, and

On July lQtb, Milo Brass disappeared from his home on a ’farm sixteen miles from Lake City, the connty seat of Missaukee county, in Northern Michigan, and had not been seen or heard of on Monday, August 23rd. On the evening of that day, In a halt on tho Fair Grounds at a camp meeting of Spiritualists, Mrs. Sarah Cartwright of Detroit, was de­scribing spirits"ueea by her clnlrvoynutly. She only knew of tbls Brass casa that Mrs. Bros* and a man named Crafts, were In the jail on suspicion of violence done to the hus­band, and were being held In confinement until he Bhonld roturn or be heard from. It was suspicion from circumstances, bat with­out fact to verify It, and otlkor* were search­ing for evidence to acquit or pnnlah these .persons.^'Np mention was matye of them at tho meet- Ing/hbr was she aakep to try and see Brass, or any one else, but was loft to her usual course—that Is, to simply tell what she saw. After doscrlhlng several others, whose spirit form*, os s lu sat'd, cams before her or Dear some one jifesent, seine being recognized and others not, she gave the dress and personal aspect of %mao, one side of whose skull was broken as by a heavy blow, and who said he had suffered violence and wanthd^jnstlce. Intelligent persons present recognized Mr. Brass, and said the description was good. On Wednesday night news cams that the body was found bnrled In a root-cellar noor the house, an l the next morning cams the state­ment that his skull was found broken In on one side, as seen by her on Monday night.

Later la lhe week she described tho birth­place In Scotland, of a man named Thomp­son, aged seventy years, an Intelligent veter­an soldier, and an honest man-nfie hones, hillside and striking landmarks being por­trayed accurately, as he eald. He was^not a Spirt in o list, bnt said that this put him on the htoh road that way.

I t Is very difficult to believe that snch a man—brave In many respects In fighting the errors of this age, should be sndh an arrant coward when brought face to face with Spir­itualism. There le a tinge of hypocrisy In the life of ouch a man, that the grave can not conceal, nor a glowing epitaph hide, nor the daxxle of prominent connections destroy, nor an obltaary volt, which will stand forth prominently for many years to come. If eplrB communion added so mnch to tils bsp- pineas, bringing him nearer to God and the angels, i t is to be deeply deplored that he neglected to pabllcly proelmlm bis convic­tions.

Premonition of Death.

Madison Wynn, a well known colored man who resided on King street, Chattanooga, Todd., died suddenly one night lately. There are said to be Rome most remarkable cir­cumstance connected wllh hi* death/About four o’clock In the evening, whito laughing and talking with some friends, Wynn sud­denly turned to walk away, remarking in a serious tone, ” Well, I am going to die before midnight, so I had better go home.” His com­panions laughed nt what seemed a ridiculous assertion and called him back, bnt the^man warned them that they should not make light of aueh a eerloos matter. When Wynn reach­ed home he told his family that he had a pre­monition and that he would be dead in a fe w hours. He.wa* lu excellent health and at times in (ho best of spirits, which led his family to believe he woe trying to frighten them. After eating n large supper, Wynu said: "That supper did not agree with me, but It la my last." He retired about eleven o'clock and soon became very III. His wlfo summoned a pbyslclaf, but Wypn told her l t r was naelefi, and five* minutes {atcr he waa a corpse. His prediction had been fulfilled: Coronor Carey was summoned aud held no Inquest. A postmortem examination reveal­ed the fact that his death was caused by heart- disease, and the jury returned a verdict in accordance with these facts.

GENERAL ITEMS.

It appears from the London Daily .Yews that next month the Parisians will be side to burn their dead la four crematory fur naces, which have Just been finished at Pere U Chaise. These furnaces were begun, last November, and have been hurried on to com­pletion, eo that by the end of Sept, at lat­est, those who, in dying, express the wish to be cremated can be there-reduced to ashes. There will he no first, second and third class cremations. Poor and rich will be on a foot­ing of absolute equality. The price charged to thoH* who can afford to pay for tho burn­ing of a corpse will be 15f.—or say 12*. The furnaces were constructed on plans by MM. Barrejpwnd Formlce. A large portl&o Is Sn frontof a ‘dome, beneath which are placed the crematory furnaces. They have the ap-’ pearance of very elegant ovens. Three hun­dred and fifty thousand francs was the price they coat. They are according to the Corlnl system. In me In Rome and Milan. It was found that the heat of the Siemens furnace was too Intense. Instead of reducing the corpse to ashes, lt BQbJected it to a kind of vitrification. The coat, too, would be 200f. Instead of 16f., to cremate with a Rlemoi furnace.. The unclaimed bodtea at tpe hospi­tals which are not used for anatomical pur­poses wiU be taken to the crematory a t Pere la Chaise. Sculptors, goldsmiths and bronze casters are already busy designing urns, of which au assortment In marble, bronze, gold, sliver, zinc or lead will be kept at au office of the crematory. The relatives of the cremat­ed deaiLeau buy these vessels, aud cause them tdoe removed to family vaults or to a bnlidlng which the city of Paris Is to erect. There could be no greater boon to a large city with overcrowded cemeteries than the furnaces of Pere la Chaise. The writer con cludee by saying that “I cannot eoneelve any­thing more disrespectful to the dead thsa the way their rematus are treated here, even when a first-class burial can be provided. If there la ndt a family vault in which to place them. Buying a grave la no simple, matter. Tba delays are endless, and the application for one must go through many bureaus be­fore official consent is given. Then there are other formatltlea to be gone through. Meanwhile the corpse Is lu a charnel bouse, called a provisional vault, at a cost of If. a day.* The removal thence to the grave, which must be lu masonry a t the sides, is a cause

SEPTEMBER 11, 1886. RELIGIO-PHIL'OSOPHICAL JO U R N A L.

An Electrical Wonder,

Tho first announcement that an Invention had bran perfected for telegraphing to and from moving railroad trainH waa received with Incredulity by the public. An extended trial during the first week of last February upon the Staten Inland Railway, proved con­clusively the truth of the assertion. Managers of various great roods were eager to make experimental trials on their lines with 'a view to adopting tho system, but the Chica­go. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway was se­lected by the Railway Telegraph & Tele­phone Company as the line on which the system shonld be Inaugurated. After some months of practical application the system has apparently been perfected for business purposes, as the announcement Is made in press dispatches from Milwaukee that the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road has made arrangements to place Edison's system of communicating with moving trains on the Council Bluffs division of .the road. Of all the marvels of electricity this Invention Is In many respects the moat wonderful.

It should be understood that ths Inductive system does not Interfere or do away with or In any way reduce the telegraph facilities enjoyed under the present system.

The operation of the system Involves no Intricate or delicate apparatus, all the parts being familiarly known to telegraph opera-, lore and consist of a Morse key, a phonetic receiver, an ordinary electro-magnet and a battery. A small corner In the baggage car on pasaenger trains, and In the cabin car on freights, la all the space required to operate the system. All of this apparatus can be moved at will and adjusted to-another ear In a few minutes. It does not reqalre a special wire between or along the tracks, but Is op­erated on thb regular Wires without change and without Interference with the transmis­sion of other business on the same wires, or In general, other operators do not-knowof

- the existence of this system by reason of any effect It has on their work. <v

To Introduce the system it Is first necessa­ry to select such wire* from those In uso as the local situation recommends, and attach.

_ them to the apparatus at the fixed station. A 1 eon||1 nuous musical note Is formed of electric

waves following each other a t the rate of fire hundred per second and passing over all the Morse wires connected with the appara­tus. This continuous musical note, by meuns of the key. Is broken np Into long and short Bounds,'forming dota aud dashes, as ia the ordinary Morse system. Tho electric waves which form these vibrations jump from the wires to the metallic roofs of the cars of the moving train, or In caBe there are no me­tallic roofs, to a wire stretched on the roofs, and all the receiving surface being connect­ed together to a single wire, the whole of tho electricity poasoa to this wire, thence through ibe phonetic sounder to the earth through the Whbels and track,

The transmission from the train is similar. The waves of electricity pass from the appa­ratus to all the roofs of the cars, then jump

.to the telegraph wires aud along them to the distant station.

. For the moving of trains, railroad busi­ness, and ludeed, all transactions requiring the prompt use of telegraph this system seems likely to fill au Important want.

p r . Eugene Crowell, a wealthy gentleman of New York City, is President of tho Com­pany and Is giving It the benefit of his great business talent and executive ability. Dr. Crowell is welt known to Spiritualists as a thorough Spiritualist, a careful Investigator of spirit phenomena and the author of seve­ral-valuable publications treating of Bplrit- nanism and Its phenomena. His connection with the Railway Telegraph & Telephone Company Is, alone, a guarantee of Its success. The editor of the Journal has visited Dr. trowel I a« the office of the Company So. 8 West Fourteenth 8L. New York City and seen the evidences of success; ho has also talked with those In charge of the practical working of the system, who have the most perfect

■“confidence lh It and the greatest enthusiasm as to the value of tbs invention. There would seem to be no good reason why the ■hares oftbla Company should not rise tn price with nearly or quite as great rapidity aa did the old telephone stock.

It le said that about five weeks ago, a ne- gto man died in the Providence, Ga., neigh­borhood who has a record that Is hardly ever equaled and never excelled. He was seventy- three years of age a t the time of his death, and left an aged wife who died a few day* ago, and who Is Bald to have been seventy year* old. This old man was a former slave

&The New Theology

Am Address Delivered flt the Lakevood School o f the Neic Theoloaa, SundayAfter* noon, A ujutt Ilf, 1880, by J. 0 . Tomnend,

. D .D .

My Priests: Some of you are aware that he who stands before you now Is regarded by many as the moat dangerous man In west­ern New York. It Is not long since a good Methodist preacher eaid that f was doing more harm than Robert lugersoll himself.

What to my sin'/ Wliat Is my crime?This: Thai I am a preacher of what Is pop

ularly called the Now Theology.From this it wonld seem aa if the New

Theology must be an open or a secret Infidel­ity. Is H each? On the contrary, it ia de­vout, reverent, religious. It leaches men to keep their hearts close to the great heart of God.

But—and this Is the real trouble with it In many eyes— It does recognize that there are and must be Intellectual differences among men. The Germans say yon cannot put two heads under one hal, aud certainly alt hu­man minds cannot ran in the same channel; though there la doubtless a tendency for men to think more nearly alike about nlalters an Lbey become more really Intelligent concern­ing them.

The New Theology does not attempt to over­throw existing churches, but only to ameli­orate and soften their hard doctrines. The New Theology undertakes to spiritualize the churches, to draw and gather together the coals that ate scattered here and there and blow them into a Hying flame. Tho New Theology desires to kindle in the chnrches the spirit of i Jesus Cbrlat. which spirit has deserted onlv too many of thp popular con­gregations of to-day. How true It to that In our largo cities the wealthier churches are tied together by social threads, and you will find there very much of artificial life and fri­volity. In these churches religion is not bo much a realty as a reminiscence. The New Theology attempts, by a new spirit, to revive theme amt all other churches.

The Now Theology does not attempt In any Secret or open way to. disparage the Bible.

It rather alms to reveal the Bible and show yon the pearls tn Its casket. But It does try to tear away thb hedge of Infallibility that keeps a man from going Into the garden of its spiritual delight, beauty and joy. The New Theology attempts to show men the fruits that hang upon the ever-living tiee of the Bible eplritaallly. The New Theology does not say that If you find In this garden a weed yon shall declare lt a flower! It does not say that you shall loeayour honesty when you examine the Bible. It does say that you shall examine the Bible as you examine any other bonk. And he who does that will find In it a great wealth of divine inspiration- inspiration from the same God who wrote his wonderful letters in the glittering points of eons and of slar.i.' The New Theology believes that Christian­

ity la a divine message in the world. It be­lieves that Christ came Into the world to re­veal 6m) to man la a special and wonderful sense. Yon ask the question, “ Is Christiani­ty a development? Yes, because wo must preserve Its historic continuity. Christiani­ty Is natural In the sense that It grows upon the root of the past. But it la truly to be called a revelation.

It la the flowing of the spirit of God Into the soul. There was One who In the full ness of time had a capacity for spiritual truth, for Inspiration, ‘ as no other had. And'as God’s spirit surrounds this world of ours a great eea; so Into his large nature the divine streams flowed and filled It full. And there was in the world a God-filled man whose heart touched the heart of God and became the channel through which the Inspiration flows to the soots of men.

Once the blossom lingered In the bud; you Bee how slowly there was the development In the fliwer. You see how the lingering bud does not open until by-and-by some shaft from the sun's golden bow cuts the catlx through and Immediately the blosqom comes forth. Christianity was a revelation, for It grew gradually through the ages of the past and blossomed forth in the soul of Jesus Christ. The New Theology does believe In the Inspiration of the Bible, but sot that God bos spoken Ills last word unto man. The New Theology believes that God speaks to man to-day, that wherever there Is a true mind, that thrusts Itself with mighty power against the great problems of life aud desti­ny. there God speaks. <

The Ntw Theology does not come to us asa new religion, a new gospel, a new Christi­anity. It comes to ns simply fis a new ex­planation of tbe old truths, of the spiritual

the two do not get the same punishment, reply: You cannot make any gradations in that which Is Infinite and eternal.

It Is a horrible doctrine — at degrading to the character OT God as it is benumbing to tbe conscience and beat feelings to men. Thank God, the Bible does not teach it. Jesus Christ preached constantly arid everlasting Fatherhood of God, If I am on this side tho line of death, he is injr Father. If I have passed on the other side he Is still my Father; even If I am a bad man I am still dear to his heart, which can never cease to be tbat of a Father.

Tho New Theology does not eapport llself by the method of the old theology. The old theology Is built upon texts. It H a logical system..formulated by John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and others, who got it from still earlier theologians. Bot do yon know that It you are Ingenious enough, you cati take the Bible and build any system out of I t you chqcwfl? I get letters from all over the coun­try, from Maine to California, with tracts

ter g>ye a thrilling description of ihe cloud or vapor before him, which wa» substantial enough to take form and float to tho side of a lady, who, long before.his description was finished, was weeping In recognition of her friend; He gave her full name and addrew, Mr. Baxter finished Ky a plea for noble man­hood and womanhood, for light and love and earnest work for self-uplifting, for better husbands and wives, brothers, sisters and citizens.r-Tbat very night, John Slater whiJe giving

tests in hto tent, seized a npwly-arrived stranger by the hand and said:

" I feel as if I bad grasped the hand of sn honest man; one .Thoroughly and entirelyconscientious, sn£lito name Is Lyman---- . ’This "honest man, Lyman C. Howe was the speaker of the last muiulng of rump life. Services were opened by Judge E. S. Hol­brook of Chicago, who recited an excellent progressive poem to the refrain of " His sbui goes marching on." Mr. Howe then unnouric- ed'lhe subject of his lecture. " Farts and

marked, and they say. " Please read this Philosophy and their Practical Application Bible text, or this statement, and you will bn to the Needs of Life." _ Herald that although

facts of our natures Yon may ask tbe ques­tion, What Is the old theology? The old the­ology la the old tfentraval explanation of the facts. The New Theology Is the present lit­erary and scientific explanation of the facts. The old theology was made many hundred years ago. Athanasius, Augustine and many other men slowly built" the system of tbe old theology, logically link by link. Do you ask, What lathe use of haring a new explana­tion? Because we think the old.explanatloa Is not true, not competent, sot scientific, not BorlpturaL Because rte believe the old the­ology la not tbe theology of Jeans Christ.

The old theology of the churches teaches that God la a Trinity, cot a threefold mani­festation. He might manifest himself la oae way, two ways, three ways, or lb three thousand ways. Bat when lt Is asserted that there are In the divine, nature three beings, three ranis, three wills, and vet these three souls are oae being, aud not three beluga, it Is impossible for thelateiUgsut human mind to accept each an explanation of God, and certainly such an explanation Is not taught In the New Testament scripture. It Is not hinted at in the Sermon on the Mount.

Then, again, the old theology has Its ex plaoation of man; that man la a bankrupt creature, that mao looks to his goldea age Id the past, tbat man Is not what be once was, tbat man is far below hla pristine condition. The first' man precipitated himself down by ala and pulled all the human race with him. And every man tbat comes Into this world cornea In a bankrupt Tbe New Theology says that such's view ia Incredible, foolish, winked.

Then lake the old theological explanation of punishment. It says man doee not get fats

Enuishmeat here, more than In small part, a t be gels It in mane berrafter; It rays tbat

ther punishment of stu Is ever lasting and In­finite. Hare la a little boy who come* to years of accountability, he understands the difference between what la right and wrung. Be dies, be Is lo«t. lost forever. Here la a man who alib is life long has done wickedly, tbe hot breath of bis lost withers the fair flowers of virtue and Innocence In womanly boram. U there a worn tbe eeducer? That man goes to puuUbmeot with oae and all to b ration from tbe a

converted." Those who rand these tracts forget that you can make the Bible mean well nigh anything you have a mind to. As a-man said, lie could justify suicide from the .Bible. He took this text. "Judas went out and hanged himself," and this text, “ Go thou and do likewise.”

The moral basis of the New Theology Is the sermon on the mount; its intellectual basis Is knowledge.’ The New Theology to a new statement. I never can cease to thank the Methodist Church for what it taught me of the deep things of the spiritual life. Hut 1 have been taught also by Robertson, Mar- tineati, Kant and toany others whose in- tellectnal conclusions were nobler and truer.

Some have thought that the New Theology is Unlversallsm or Unltarianism. To such 1 care only to say that tbcHNew Theology 1» a new system. I Bought for many years to formulate Ideas that I dimly saw. 1 eald to friends, " Christian troth must have a re­statement” B ull did not see my way to a formulated statement until the discovery of that broad generalization of science called Evolution. The general principles, not the details, shed a wonderful light upon the question of human nature, regeneration, In­deed all the problems of the eonl. The New Theology is then a now Hystoj;, bollt In a certain true sense upon scientific prinrjplea and adopting the xclenllik tpethod, Tbe Apostle Paul gave us the elemental principle of the New Theology In that far-seeing de­claration of his: "First, that which is nat­ural, and afterward that which is spiritual.” The Hermop on the Mount Interpreted by the Bplritual Insight of the truest minds and by modern science gives-us the New Theology.

I believe in the New Theology because It makes us happier; other things being equal, that system which glvra .most happiness to the heart is the true system; that system which make# the heart ehuider and fear is very likely to be untrue. What is the cau*e of human eia? One raaae Is human misery. The mis arable are apt to become the- vicious and the criminal. Oae fruitful cause of woman's degradation is woman's sorrow. Make the heart happy and you go far toward making it good. The New Theology is a gospel of gladness.

But rams one soya to me: Suppose, nfter all. Mr.- Townsend, that your intellectual conclusions are false, aud tbat yon are sent down to hell, what then? Well, If I were rant down to hell I would try to behave myself, be a Christian gentleman; I would try to quench some of tbe fires with roy tears, and. if possible, plant a few roses among the thorns. Rut if it be that a man, because ofcertain Intellectual conclusions, to which he honestly comes, must bo sept down to hell, f wonld rather be the man that Is damned than to be God that damns m<q

Interest, Tbe kind of worship In which man indulges, depends greatly on cli­mate, food and external conditions: They Who eat oatmeal, drink whisky and breathe mist, like Ibe Scotch, will naturally tend to Presbyterianism; while lu warm countries, like the eouth of Korop*, where the diet con­sists of vegetables and light wises, Roman Catholicism will abound.

"TUK MOTHKH OF THE WORLD.*’The Jeecitk Cabbala baa glanced with ex­

traordinary profundity Into the relation of the woman to the man. Molitor ha» proved

_ _ _ _ _ .. upai_within outwardly, corresponding to toe Ne- fltomah, Le.pto the spirit (the Greek puce). The woman, on the ot^er hand, la the man Inverted: in her preponderates the principle negatively active from without Inwards, turned from the circumference to the centre, living Itself foitb In adopting and receiving, which corresponds to the Nenhtih, i.e^ to the son I (the Greek peach*), Man, more In­dependent of nature, represents the spiritual, Ideal, sun-tike aspect; and woman theptychie, real, moon^ltke atpect; In the former lies hid the mystera of the spirit: in the latter, (he myttery o f nature. These are only the most external outlltfps of the observation on the distinction of the two sexes recorded In the Cabbala, and admirably reproduced by Ho* Iltor. (Comp. F. Del lunch's Blbl. Psych, page 128.—Mol l tor's Philos, of History and Tradi­tion and von Rud toff's Lehre vom Menschen,pp. 122-128.)

Woman Is thn psychical element In human­ity, and represents the myitery of nature. In this fact we find the explanation and key to almost all poet mysticism. It Is feminine and worshlp#f!iel?mlnlae element in crea­tion. It places Usfilf in tbs attitude of the beloved object to thk lover. The Deity Is the bridegroom, the soul the bride. Toe Sufi parable of the moth that dies Ih the flame Is of universal mystic Import. This then ex- nlfttns the prevailing reverence for the moth-

In the world. We shall now des­cribe vacMnslofiiu of mystic conceptions In this direction,

0 I f all mythologies and their underlying philosophies none are more interesting to the Theosophkt than the Egyptian. The myste­ry on one side probably ties in the Sptalux- natnro of all her deities: half brute, half hu­man being, pointing to our own double na­ture. On the other side, we are drawn to the Egyptian enigmas because they everywhere seem to teach a cosmosophla. now no more known—perhaps not oven recoverable.

In Egypt" The Mother power of the World” la represented la the bright goddess of in­tellectual power, wisdom, virtue and passion­less motherhood, in Ncith or h it . In the conception of Intellect, pervading and ruling the universe, are mysteriously entwined the past, present and future, ** There is doubt.'

De Confutation* Phtlotophia entitles him to a place In this connection of representative stories. In his meditations came to him the vision of a Woman of reverent countenance, with eyes, glowing beyond the power-of or­dinary human eyes ana beyond their brilllan cy, and of inexhansted strength. Though full of years, she conld not be called old. Her stature was difficult to-describe, for sometimes she appeared to be within the common human measure, but sometimes she lifted her bead so high, that It looked Into the very heavens and was loet to the behold­er. Her garments were of exquisite work­manship, fashioned, u be afterwards loarned, by her own bands. Yet there was a look of antiquity, almost of neglect, about them. On the lower skirt of It he saw Inscribed a Greek JP (PI) and on the upper part of H a Th (Theta). These seemed to be letters between these two, and they rose like the steps of a ladder from the one to the other. Bat the garment bad been torn by violence, It seem­ed, and aomft parte of It carried away. In her right hand she held some books, In her left a sceptre. She announced herself as his mistress and directed him to leave all for her Bake. Her name Is *• Philosophy,'* and she Has bean the teacher of Anaxagoras and fio££gtes, She bids him cast away griefs and fears, and let hope and faith go together; he shall then have a clear eye to see the troth. " I f thon art master of thyself, tboa wilt possess that which neither time nor fortune can take away,” his monltreea tells him, and a good story besides, A vain man, who want­ed to pass for, a philosopher asked another man. who Insulted him. and whose Insnlto he did not resent: " Do yon think that 1 am a philosopher now?” -

“ l should have thought so,** was the reply, •' If yon had held your tongue.’'

much, and his own studies In the solemn doctrine was so extensive, that we aro jnetl- fled In placing an extract from his “ Con­fessions’* among similar ones from true Mystics. Augustine was a t Ostia together with Monica, a few days before her death, and ” confesses** thus: "And when our dis­course was brought- to that point, that the very highest delight of the earthly menses. In the very purest material light, was.

The virgin Sophia is to Jacob Bohme the Maternal Principle In Deity. Sometimes bo calls It th* “ Corporeity of the Holy Ternary; the Delight and Plavfcilowof the Most High;’’ sometimes he designated it the "Eternal Mother, the great Itvsterlum Magnum.” and declares that the “ Eternal Word nreathed It­self forth from It Into skill or knowledge!*, e., infinity of multiplicity), lie also calls thisprinciple “the Substantia! i'dwer of the great Love of God” and the “Oulflown W ord.”

This Virgin Sophia Is not only the eternal Idea and the heavenly H'wrfom, who reveals to him the divine secrets, but she Is his guardlan-qugel, too. she leads him to God and Christ and brings him consolation In bis troubles. It is rather curious to notice how every thing takes the JVrional form before BAhme’a mind. Once, While walking with tils Intimate friend, Dr. Kober, the doctor happened to use the word Idea when Bohmeimmediately bare! out: “Ah, I see a heavenly virgin!" Such/Was the effect upon this sensi­tive man of the mere mentioning of the word; so utterly incapable was he of abstract con­ceptions. It was so to Blnto, too. It Is so to a true Mystic: every thing 1b Personal, an abstraction Is nothing.

“ The sweet Skio 1 before hls twentietht ear felt himself secretly drawn, as It were, y a “ bright light" to God. This influence

soon wrought an entire change In him. He became filled with “ an ardent desire to be­come pad to be called a Berwraf o f Eternal WUdomi«” So he telle ns himself. Finally the Everlasting Wisdom manifested herself to hljn. He saw her. a maiden, bright as the sun, surrounded by Eternity; her raiment was blamed a ess, her words sweetness and though shvapoke an unknown tongue, he un­derstood her easily. She was distant, yet near. She wka high aloft and yet deep be­low. She wastacenible and yet not palpable to the touch. Smilingly she demanded: "My Son. give me th\ae heart 1” And he did give hls heart, and frdm that Jlme forth he defil­

An Abstract of a'Discourae on the Career of Professor William Denton.

Delivered by A. I). French at Caitadaga Camp Meeting, .1 u<], 28f A.

No man has done so much to make geol oay a popular science aa William Denton. He could dress tho frowning Alps with the chisel of a Grecian sculptor, or paint over the world’s primitive midnight the rosy tints of ooming day. No man could envelop tho cold, hard facts of science with a halo of poetry, more enccessfully than could he. llh ’geological lectures were the hardest ad­amant of facts mad* soft and tender by his wondftms eloquence.

After Mr, Denton had completed n coarse of geological lectures at Chagrin Falls, 0.. he held a live day’s debate,

Av JT II JAM Ed A. G A RFIELD ,then prealdent of Hiram college. Mr. Gar- fleld, who was then preaching at Chagrin Falls, had been delivering a series of Sun­day evening sermons . in criticism of Mr. Denton’s tecturee.aud ootof this grew tbe discussion. The questions for debate was stated: “Resolved that plants, animals, and man came Into existence by operation of thelaws of <0001000011* generation and progres­sive development, and that there Is no evl dence on this planet of direct creative ener­gy.” Tbe discussion occurred between Christ­mas and New Year In the year 1868. This contest absorbed all Interest* in that section. People came fifty miles to hear It. Tbe mad was frightful, and yet the whole seat- lug capacity of ths bail was Occupied fully an hour before each session. Tho contestants had never before met. Garfield was accompa­nied by a Dumber of clergymen who assleted In taklog notes and looking tip authorities. Denton had no assistance. Mr Denton opened wtth*a brilliant speech which fascinated the audience. Garfield followed with a less brilliant and more cautious address which Indicated great reserve forep he did not carp-'tb waBte for sadden effect. Denton’s styrond address was pronounced by ablecritics to be the finest oratorical effort they ever heard. But little argument was enteredupon the first session. At that time Darwin had not published his Origin of Specie* and History of Natural Selection, nor bad Haeckel, Wallace and others committed themselves la favor of the development theory.

About the only book on Deaton’s side wasthe Veetlgea of Creation, a small work by ao anonymous author, Upon Garfield’* side avolnmlnoufl literature wm already extant. Hltchcocki Hugh Miller and others had la­bored to reconcile Genesis with advancing

Klogical discovery. Hugh HiUer was field’s favorite author, and none was

more bitter upon the development theory than he. Tbe weight of authority was* al­together upon Garfield’s side. Denton knew this and he tried to force Garfield npoo affirmative ground, assuming that the-stato- meat of question involved an affirmative which Garfield wo* lu fairness bound to sustain. He claimed that the terms of the question required proof from Garfield of di­rect creative energy, aa much as it required proof from him o! natnral selection and spontaneous generation. No effort of Dent­on’s, ho waver,-could- hid nee Garfield to de­fend miraculous creative energy. He claimed that be did pot come there to prove anything, he c*me to iee that Denton proved spontane­ous generation and progressive deralopmnnt. Garfield was shrewd, caution* and able

Drnton was self-possessed andjoent. He brought forward all the argu­

ment the state of know!' *■_____ would permit.Indeed he autlclpatealn this debate all that Darwinjind others afterward* proclaimed, HewasTio doubt disappointed la hls effort to defend special creative energy. (Hrfleld went Into the discussion with a strong ele­ment of advantage, which he turned to good account. Denton entered with a great task which he performed with tact and eloquence. It U rarely It ever, that two great men have met In eo long and heated a debate where each won from friend* and foea so raise. The mijst b|tt«r^orthodox^^^ _ ^

I ■ Jk/i ^ . . .much to touch the lire* of others? Garfield, □neon sc loos to himself, was about to blaxe forth like a meteor and light the heaven*with glory. Denton had before him year* of toll, bat In those years of struggle he wasto explore a world, the grandeur of which Colombo* had never dreamed. Garfield waa to climb to tbe hlgbeet summit of fame nod took with manly gratitude at the crown a nation laid at bis foot. Denton was to push forward like a bold pioneer blazing a track for the legions of progress.

BOTH MUST DIE.Tbe one by tbe sad and solemn sea at

Rlberon. He dies, however, with a nation weeping over hie dying bed. The other must die alone In a foretg^ land, far from tbe

Bth of civilization, with no friend to weep hls bedside, no loving hand to wlpq tbe

oold death sweat from hls brow. Both arebnrled. The one by the pomp and pageao-

Tbe other In alieneetry of a aramF nation. ________________and by the hands of strangers. Garfield's Inanimate body wo* placed In a pavilion black as the brow of night, trimmed with its belt* of gold. On hls costly coffin lay a wreath from England’s queen, and about It flowers enough to botld a mausoleum for tbe dead. Denton’* body lay In amltorable hovel, with

H 'ltow for It* head- and no coffin for Its repose. He was bnrled In a foreign

'wnd far from;home. No marble or block of stone guard thD grave of William Denton, yet nature 1* kind. The bjrd wlU call Its mate and sing its morning song from the fern-fringed jungle near the little mound. TJ»e mountain stream wilt chant hls requjdm. The Bame son which shines over ns will warm his grave, and tbe faith­ful nightly stare kiss It with their pure sweet beams.”

Sixteen hundred feet above tho' valley, nnd twenty-,, four-hundred above eea level, Is a good place to he during August. 82° for a few days, and this only from 10 o’clock a. m. to I o’clock p. a., waa the highest the thermometer In­dexed, while the mornings, evenings and nights were delightful. To mecply say that___________ ___, _____ say iuy better half and myself enjoyed this to»lf------- “ l------ --------------------callly, with its {magnificent scenery and oat- look, and these meetings, does not express It. for though the numbers in attendance were lacking as compared with eastern camps, and this because the railroad had not been finished up the mountain side as expected, we had au exceptionally excellent, earnest, zealous, and I may add, jolly lot of Spiritu­alists. Tbe Association owns 10 acres of laud, a large hotel and a number of cottage*. The Btock, 112,000, has nearly all been taken. Spiritualists only having the privilege of purchase, and ha* trebled lu value In the three years passed. In ten year* I predict that its value, beauty and attractions as a summer resort and camp for the meetings of (ho Association, will equal noy of the east­ern camps, and will he the Mecca of Spirltu- aiikui,la the South.

Father Watson, that sound, old man, spoke for os Sunday, the 15th, in the morning and even! a g t n Co attanooga. He is now 74 year s old, erect and commanding as In youth; hls eloquent words burn Into your verj soul, andrivet the attention of every human being within the sound of hls voice. One cannothelp but feel that every word he utters is a truth.

Mrs. Tolbert, of Galveston. Texas, one of our oldest and ablest workers, though fa the winter of life, was there, sharing tbe burden and tho heat of the day, and In her beautiful simplicity of style and thought carried her audience with her. Mrs. De Wolfe, of Chica­go, Miss Bally, of LontsVtUe, and Miss Brown, ot Atlanta (with her wonderful Improvisation of song aud verse), dlecoursed moat excol lently. Mrs. Seabrooke. of Charleston, S. C., a new medium of -great promise, made her flret appearance in public at this meeting.

The Bangs Sisters, of Chicago, were there and gave the best of satisfaction la their dark circles so, too, Mrs. Well*, materializ­ing medium of New York, for whom a small building In. the wood*, one hundred yards from the pavilion, had been erected, gave moot absolate eatlefaetlon of her genuine­ness. Ten to fifteen forms appeared eucb eve­ning, stopping out, conversing with friend*, giving their names a* a rale, the majority being recognized, and dematerlallzlng In front of the curtain. Three forms appeared to myself and my wife, gave ns their names, mentioned our names, and sank ont of sight while tbe raised curtain revealed the medi­um in her chair, If Mrs. Wells would come to Chicago thlB winter, U would afford us, who arc within a few hour*’ ride of that city, the privilege of seeing this beautiful phase of spirit power without having to go to New York or Boston.

Next year It Is to be hoped Lookout------ .... ^tain Camp Meeting will Northern and Western Spirit!

. The Annuel Address dr the President of the American Society Tor .Pajeblcal Re­search.

BT WH. EUMETTE COLEMAN,

A short time before the formation of the American Society for Psychical Research, Prof. Simon Newcomb, an astronomer of Dote, gave to the world hls view* concerning psy­chic and spiritual phenomena. The publica­tion of these views evidenced the lack of knowledge of the .writer In regard to the character, scope and Importance of the phe­nomena upon which he did not hesitate to sit In Judgment; it also evidenced that however eminent hls ability in astronomical eclenee, he was devoid of the mental aptitudes and kjnallQcatlons essential for an unbiased ex-

. am l nation of, and an unprejudiced, Impartial

dde their merits, ete-, according to hls own « priori prepossessions. Such prejndgment aa this, based .upon strong, mental bite, lit-

/dependent of substantial, basic facts, was In direct contravention of ths true scientific spirit, The prejudiced scientific dogmatist speaking ex cathedra, as it were, upon sub­jects of deep moment, with which bis actnal acquaintance was almost all, was evident In hls almost every line. A short time after­ward, when I saw tbe announcement that the American Society for Psychical Research bad selected for its President one so palpably unsuitable for the position as was Prof. New­comb, It surprised me greatly; and, liTcotu­rnon with many other friends of eelentlfio psychical research, I felt that tbe society had from Its very Inception heavily handi­capped Itself In Its quest of truth, by placing Itself under the leadership of ao Incompetent a guide and mentor.

I t la well known that the Riligio-Philo- sophical Journal, In order that the scientif­ic demonstration of the action of psychical and spiritual potencies, ao prevalent In this century, might be Inaugurated In this coun­try without farther delay, had for months before tbe formation of tbe America? Society, urged that such a society be instituted; and In this the J o u r n a l was sustained by many of the leading thinkers and workers In Spiritu­alism. AIT phenomena are subject to scien­tific demonstration, and tbe troth or falsity of every phenomenon is a subject of scientif­ic arbitram ent Tbe decision of sdsnoe, that Is of genuine science, not the-variant opinions of scientists, Is anal oq every sub­ject; and all elasacb of psychical phenomena moat finally submit themselves to this scien­tific arbitrament Tbe formation of Ameri­can psychical societies, then, as advocated by ths JOURNAL was a detideraUm; but in my opinion, a serious blonder was made by the parent society In lit choice of President,—a plunder which It should rectify at aa early a day as practicable. There are Mid to bo no unmlxed evils, and It la possible that one

suit may b a n accrued from the aa- a t 6f Hr. Ndwoomb to tbe*re*!deney. ent annual /address indicates that bs

snot perednaHftaken part In the erperi- » and researches of th* society; upon h, owing to hls *peei*l mental bias and

- Incapacitating him tor such f I* to be congratulated' It.

W M SS

The recedt Presidential address of Prof. Neweomb famishes, I think, adequate proof of hls disqualification tor the position held by him,—that, speaking plainly and honest­ly, a much worse selection could not easily have been made. The tendency of the eDtlre address la practically In antagonism to and criticism of the objects and accomplish meats both of the parent English Society and of hls own American one. He thinks neither of them has accomplished anght of much prac­tical Importance; that their modes of proced­ure in experiment and research are vlrtnally inutile and Inconsequential; and he berates them, In a courteous manner 'tie true, tor having failed In tho very short time in which their researches have been conducted to for­mulate the precise conditions or the exact laws governing the action of mind upon mind in the peculiar, and delicate psychic maulfeetatione with which they have been busied. He frankly tells them In effect that they do not understand their business, and Implies that had be superintended the exper­imentations most Important conclusions would have been reached In a short time. What thoeo coo elusions would be ho leaves little room tor doubt; namely, that there la no such thing as thought-transference, ex­cept through physical agencies;'that tele­pathy, or the action of mind upon mind at adistance, or without physical agencies, and mind reading are dsioilons; and that the only object or a psychical eociety should be

ont of consideration, and < ting facta forstndy, than by directing our attention eepe- eially to It." Tbe scientific wisdom of this advice is not apparent to ns. ordinary minds, it la a common delusion, I believe, that In order to establish the Verity of an alleged scientific fact, we should not “leave It ont of ooostderattoto,” but should “direct our atten­tion especially to It." I have always thought that In order to determine the reality ofao alleged astronomical discovery, It was In­cumbent upon astronomers to test tbe value of the asserted evidence In Ita favor by con­tinued Investigation and research. that it was their duty to “direct their attention specially to It* and not "leave It ont of cod- sld erst Lon.” put perhaps lu tbe Newcomb school of astronomy new facta a n best dis­coverable by not considering them at all andby paying no special attention to tbe lndi m of their existence. With all doe respect to tbe learned Professor and hls method* ofdetsrmlnlag recondite err Involved scientific problems, that Is by eeverely letting them alone, I am forced to tbe conclusion that hi* final sentence, quoted above, hls parting *bot a t the society over which he preside*. Is In

‘Uon to all legitimate methods of eel- procedure, If not ridiculously absurd.

Although be tell* ns not to lnaks thought- transference a subject tor consideration and not to direct our aiteotion specially to It, be

such an extent that It* truth can be thereby established, and yet leave the matter out of consideration and pay no special attention to It, Row a person or society can collect facts upon a subject In order to prove It false or trae, and at the earns time refrain from any consideration of the subject, and pay no special attention to It, the average unaided Intellect l« Incompetent to grasp. Perhaps the tower log.mental acumen and bewilder-

to discover the purely physical agencies or conditions productive of certain sporadic phenomena mistakenly supposed to be dne to montal action Independent of physical cause*. As the English society has appar­ently demonstrated the truth. In some cases, of Independent thought-transference, tele­pathy and mind reading, oar American? psy­chical Solon naturally feels aggrieved, and thinks that their labors have been largely useless; and he now proceeds to tell them how they have neglected their duty and what they ought to do in order to accomplish defi­nite results—that Is, results lu accordance with hie preconceived theories.

It appears that Prof. Newcomb became a member of the American society under a misapprehension. He informs us that ho supposed that tbe English society had discov­ered that a number o f ita members bad found themselves permanently able to copy draw lugs without other guidance than the thoughts of other members not lu physical contact with them; and so thinking, he eu- conraged the formation of the American so­ciety and accepted membership In U- As the English society had not demonstrated the existence of any such power among Its mem­bers, this Illustrate* the perfunctory and un­scientific character of Hr. Newcomb’s psychic investigations. W'ltbout taking the trouble to ascertain what tha real work of the En­glish eocleti had been, he aids in the eetab llsbment of a new scientific eociety and ac cents Its presidency,—all based upon a mis­take, au 'error of hls, which a very little In­vestigation would hare rectified. It arguee little for the vaine to a eociety, of the earv- leee of a man of eclenee who cao act lu eo eareleee and Inaccurate a manner In the VBry matter of lte existence and probable sphere of usefulness. Ought such a man to be Ita President? He virtually tells the society that its existence. It* raison d* etr*. so far aa he Is concerned, rest* upon a fiction, a mis­take.—that hls membership In H was dne to UDwIttlugly false pretences, so to speak; and yet he retains hls Presidency in It. It would seem that, under tbe circumstances, hls self- respect and dignity of character would prompt him to resign a position entered up­on through e mistake,—to yield up the Pres­idency of a society which fail* to accomplish any useful result ana whose modes of pro­cedure are not lu coasouauce with hls con­ceptions of scientific experimentation.

The closing sentence of Hr. Newcomb’s address voices the following significant eon elusion: *T even venture to say, that, If thought transference is real, we snail estab­lish Its reality more speedily by leaving it

lug breadth of thought manifest In President Newcomb** Annual Psychical Address be competent for Its eolation, Again I If *oeb a man Is fitted for the Presidency of a Psychical Research Society? Haring ad­vised the society to discontinue It* consider­ation of the problem* for tbe Investigation of which It was tonnded, why does he not In ­augurate lte apparently desired dissolution by resigning its Presidency? And if he fall to do this, i f seems to be the duty of the so­ciety, for its own beet Interests, If It hopes ever to be able to accomplish any permanent and practicable good In the world, to call upon Its President "to step down and out." A* It lB. he Is a serious drawback, a blnd- rance.a clog npon its movement* for good,-' an Impediment In the path of psycho nenrlc progress that should be removed a* speedily as practicable. /

> id Instance of tbe dogmatic prejudg- m'ent of Prof. Newcomb anent the subjects of Investigation germalo to tbe pnrpose of the Psychical Societies, the following i» in point: There ore many case* on record In which a person, not subject to hallucination*, sud­denly receives an Impression concerning an absent friend, that be la dead, or la suffering, often accompanied by a vision of the absent friend, while uometimes the voice of th* friend la heard. In a shot t time news Is re­ceived that tbe friend hid tbe Identical ex­perience of which .Impression had been re­ceived? and jnst at the very moment of lte re­ception by the other. There are numerous well-attested eases of this character, lu some Instances note* of the occurrences being made prior t o the receipt of the .c o d firm story Intelligence. Observe bow coolly Prof. New* comb disposes of all cases of this nature. In hla opinion, evidently, no such Impression could have been received prior to the receipt of intelligence of the occurrence of iheeveut; ergo, B o tt l in g of tbe kind.a * alleged, ever happened. This Is hls explanation of the or- ‘- 'n **

iyperienco of the observer that my friend was dead, or tl

" '.dent and cried althe death or accident occurred, that abodTthat time I beard

this very tfeiamation.-of saw bis Image be­fore my dye«.“ Thin supposed recollect Um Hr. Newcomb regards aa “ amere Illusion of the memory," While It Is probable that some of tbe alleged case* of this character are dne to Illusion and hallucination, Prof. Newcomb has no legitimate warrant tor attributing all such to thts cause. He makes no exception In bis sweeping statement, neither doe* he say "probably" or “ moot like]v" or "per- hape, or nse any similar anal trying expres­sion. A writer Imbued with the trae scien­tific spirit, with a mind fjefi from the influ­ence of what Dr. 0arijenter calls “ dominant Ideas," and prepossefilon*. and receptive to truth from all sources, would not have made *uch positive, not to say reckless, assertions

After In

and labors of the Psychical Society with those d e s c r ib e d by him. pa above, certainly partakes of the nature of an Insult to the former. Again let me aak. Is a man who than deliberately Insults a scientific BOdety s fit person to preside over Its deliberations/ If the society Is engaged In eo foolish and useless a task as Mr. Newcomb describee, what reason has It tor eontinoeiyexlsteaca? It should be at once diesoIv«f. through Itsown Inherent Inanity. Wh/ then, as pi ously asked, doe* not It* President begin tho good work by tendering bis resignation/

SPIRITUAL- BfjUlLfllBlUX*

■BT ELIZABETH LOW* WATSON.

The physical universe Isa symbol of the Ipiritnal. The boundless sky has tits counter­

part In the infinite relation of W ind; and every object In nature,-from the .invisible germ to the wide-spreading oak, from the crystal to the star, suggests some tWnclple or attribute of thB vast unseen; ana throughall the transit)atatlone of matter there 1* a ceaseless effort to preserve tbe equilibrium offerees.

vblch hls knowledge is eo exceedingly lim­ited. The Psychics! Society was institotsd to Investigate, among other things, alleged coses of the appearance of apparition* at the moment of death, etc. The President of the ftylaty, It appears, ha* formed hls own opin­ion concerning such alleged occurrences, based. It would seem, on a priori gronuds; and. lo advaoee of any careful or exhaustive Investigation by the society of their troth or falsity, and of tbe causes and conditions of their occurrence, If found veritable, be thrusts upon the eociety hls own dogmatic prejudgment thereupon In an address In which he disparages the' labors both of the EctgliMb and American Societies, and virtual­ly tells them that their only legitimate work Is to endorse bis crude theories of the cause* of the operation of psychic force.—theories begotten of Ignorance and born of prepoe- m m Io m I bios.

The following paragraph from the Profes­sor's address will show at what value he esti­mate* the work of the society over which he etilt Insist* upon presiding.despite the worth-

of their labor*:—** The question *og-geet* Itself whether the March tor th# phe­nomena under present circumstance* Is not much that of looking for a. klpd of gold which shall differ In density fr*?n ordinary gold, or for • substance of unheard-of specific gravity. We may advertise tor specimen* of such things, and execute many weighings,' with a view o7 tenting claimant* to one at­tention. Yet I am persuaded that, should we undertake this, the unanimous view* of 6b*m- iste would be that we were wasting onr la­bor. Th* negativo evidence that no gold has been found differing much In specific gravi­ty from that which we carry In onr '

Symmetry of form, beauty of out­line, healthy growth, and harmonious action are all the rwntt of this eternal necessity. 80, also, In the great event* of history: the rise and fall of dynasties; the alternate sub­jugation and enfranchleemeut of races of men; the uprising* of the oppressed, burning protest and violent revolutions, we behold tbe same law manifest. Victor Hngo H id of Napoleon at tbe battle of Waterloo:

"The excessive weight of till* man in ha-man destiny disturbed the equilibrium.......These plethora* of *11 human vitality concen­trated In a single head, the world mounting to the brain of one man, would be fatal to civilization If they should endure.

And glancing at the hlstpry of modern Spiritualism, I find that even the celestial world offers no exception to tbl* law. One would naturally suppose that Angers visit*, the demonstration of life beyond tbe grave, the sweet message* of hope _and love that have hrolrcn th- awful silence of-death, the holy vision and the precious promise* that have blpswned in the great draert of our an be I let. would be free from all unseemly dis­turbances, and that lu the light streaming through the rioud rifts of human sorrow on­ly good germs would quicken and fructify.

And now, will there not be suen a thorough cleansing assball deliver that grand edifice onto the angels of truth, and bestow It aa an enduring boon upon « a grateful humanity?

U E L I O I O - P n i L O S U F H I C A L J O U R N A LMOST REMARKABLE VISITATION,

When I first looked upon the scenery of Nevada, after living half a lifetime among the broad leaves, great tree®, wide waters, and grand prairies of the Mississippi Valley, I seemed to be for a long time la a ghostly country.- In my former home vegetable life was sappy, full, and varied la Its green and flowering stages, while Ih the autumn the wblrlof the yellow, brown, and red dry leaves, dancing In the wind, gare life and change to all the year round. But in Nevada the change In thB vegetation, if It changes at any time, Is not perceptible to a stranger’s eye; everything betokens silence, lack of motion, and perpetual hush.

In the Mississippi Valley, animal life Is fall, robnst, and noisy la all Its departments, accustoming the eye and ear to Its universal presence. Bat In Nevada, among the ragged silence of sage-brush and the scraggy trees, the animal life Is so light tbat tbe starting of a hare, the "awith-BwItb" of a raven’s1 wing, or the "caw-raw” of a biue-jay Is the event of tbe sunlight hoars; while the shiver­ing bowl of a coyote after sundown makes thedead silence of the night deader

These characters of Nevada Impressed me when I first came nfion these scenes with a lonesome sense of something pending In the air—a haunted feeling.

If I have made plain by the foregoing paragraphs the pecatlar Impression made upon me by this strange conn try, my reader will see haw the relation of the following clrcamstagccs was calculated to strengthen snob aD'tmpreStoion, particularly when I say that It was made to ms out of doors In the desert by a brother teamster (albeit he was a ‘‘bo 11 wicker") as he an d j sat smoking by thB flickering, uncertain light of a sage fire.

Slim Sim's Story.I eanrrtwt(evada In 1803. in the fall. My

name Is SelloNUmpson, and, being spare In flesh and sir feet two Inches ta il,! suppose At was very easy for some Jow and not very

'bright iokist to corrupt my name into Stlm 8im, whlfcli I am now generally called by tbe miners and bull-wackersof these moun­tains. In fact, f am come to be so accustomed fo that sort of a name that I am compelled sometimes when I sten a freight-bill or some other paper to pause a moment and consult my memory os lo what 1 ought to write—whether Slim 81m or Selim Simp son.

When I first came here, or pretty soon after, a man named Tpd Wot tors and myself followed ’'Old- TannrlilU” out of Austin about to the place where at this lime Is Eureka District on a prospecting tour. We thought we found good mines, and Tod, who was an old miner, said the rock was “bully." We mndeiwo trips to oqr claims, and Bpent

. most of the winter of 1HS3-01 prospecting and riding. Wo took specimens to the us- sayers In Austin; bnt they pronounced onr rock mostly lead, with considerable silver but too refractory to be worked profitably, ] was an emigrant from the States, and these thing* discouraged me; but Tod never lost ialtb, fqr he was more on the believe than

“ I ever was.Tod was a prelty smart fellow, with a good

education, and wrote a good hand. lie was one of'those Spiritualism; and at night In Camp he used to talk to me for hours about spirits, and noises, and manipulations, until I got ao sometimes that n coyote, howling away out In the dark, from the light of the'fire, would give me cold shivers up my back. Some people are notauperstltlous and I do not know that I am, naturally; bat I was rear/d jn the old fashioned school of ghost stories, and I guess a little superstition was ground Into me with my small dose of learning. However It is. lam not stuck after Spiritualism out of doors at night. In the sage-brush wilderness; particularly In winter, when Hie coyotes are bowling and the wind Is blowing that lonesome whisper

“How did you get your Information?" X asked.

“Well, we bad a big meeting of Spiritual- late down at the Bay—two o f the best medi­ums In tha Slate—and when It came my tarn to ask questions of tbe spirits 1 said:

"Ta there any spirit present which, while In the body, was with the lost emigrant train In Eastern Nevada and Death Valley?'

"The answer was ’Yes!’“‘Does the spirit rememberot the company

finding silver on tbe trip?" The answer was ‘Year

’“Will tbe spirit communicate what be re­members to a prospector now present from tbat country?’ The answer was ‘Yesl’

“Thett I asked the spirit if he preferred to write or t#lk, and the answer was: ‘Write.* So as one of the mediums was a writing me­dium she got into communication, and the splrita wrote oat where It is and directions how weare to-go there from here, and where we will find grass and water. 1’vo got money enough for the outfit. Will you go?”

“Yee,” I said, "Tod, I am ready to go any­where with you, partly because I am not able to stay where I am. But 1 don’t go much on that spiritual story.”

"Ab. well!" said Tod, "mind what I told rou, old fellow, last winter."

Nothing more was then said about spirits, >ut I knew mighty well that as eoon as wenull hi___________

In a few days we were ready. Tod bought two smart mules-one to ride, one to pack— and I rode my faithful, tough old caynse. When everything was ready, we started up Main street, to Austin; over the granitesnm- mlt of the Toi-ya-be, bound ont east and south for a six week's trip. It was then December, and already tbe snow lay on the higher summits.

Onr spiritually written Instructions were to ride "nearly due east from Austin: over three range* of mountains, until we came to the foot of a very high, steep range" (that which fs now known as White Plhe); then we were to “coast the west foot of that range for about seventy-five miles, until we came to some red bluffs In the valley, where there was a spring; thence we were to bear more to the east, passing through the great range Inlo another valley, by way of one of two adjacent canons."

up to this point we would find plenty of water without difficulty; but after passing the great range we were to carry water in two kegs, lo use In case we missed the Indian Springs, After passing through the great range we were to "look for the trail of the oet wagon, and follow that southerly to a

low reddish mountain where there was a dog spring, and base, antlmonlal metal. Then follow the wagon trail In Us meandering until we came ton lone, oblong peak or reef sod on the west by south face of that hill was ‘The Lost Mine.” ’

The second night out we camped at our old camp at Eureka, where.Tod complained of n bad cold" and his old cramp, so wy laid by

one day. Tho following day we crossed the Diamond Mountains, and the next day we camped, among the float quartz on the west side of whet Is now White Pino District. Tod etlll complaining of his cramp and talking SpiritnallHor every evening. In three davs more we passed many fine largo spring*, and arrived at the red bluffs.

At this point Tod became feverish and de­lirious; so I moved next op Into the moun­tains, where wood was plenty and grass bet­ter. Tod still raved aboat spirits and medi­ums, and elements Inside of elements, and Bphere within sphere. until midnight oe-that first day In the mountains, when, all of a sadden, he stopped his ravings. From that time until morning ho seemed to live only by spells, and about daybreak he dkdrjlght there, out of doors; by the camp-fire. ^

I eat and looked at him, then at the brown, dry \ alley and the tall, snowy mountains, until the sense of loneliness and weak Im­munity came so strong upon me that for a moment I looked upon my loaded revolver with a desparate Interest. "Tlat tho son was rising bright, just as he used to do In my boyhood home, and I became singularly cheered by tbe presence ofthe glorious old orb, for he was the only object that looked a t all natural or familiar to my eight—except poorTod, aud. atasl be was too natural.

During that day I dag a grave to bury Tod, andl yet wblfe I was digging the grave I kept contradicting my own action by beeping 4ip the camp-fire where he was lying, aeTW 1 did not know that he was dead and did not need any fire AJpng In the afternoon I had him all ready to bnry as decently os I eouM. Just then fin Indian came to camp, bnt as soon as beteaw a dead man he left without parley, spplling my hope of his help at the lone funeral.

It was about dark when I got through cor

Then X built up tho fire In silence and soli­tude, bnt I did not look-dld not look any­where except right at what I was attending to. The solitude was awfnll I have heart that some great man wrote a book In praise of solitude, I bare my opinion of him. I will not say he was a fool, but I will eay that if he or any other man travels alone in Nevada, far ont of tbe way, for a few days, ho will vote agaloat solllnde all ihe rest of his life. Solitude! Pshaw! Tho greatest criminal. Ihrf meanest, the lowest ecummer,could bespeak myianguage, would on that night have been as welcome to me as an angel-he could have had half—yes! all I had. Solitude Is a bilk!

Bat to go on with my story. I cooked and ate a ead, sickening, melancholy supper; un­rolled my blankets, and then without looking back, walked straight ont into the brush to bnnt up tho animals; because, come what might, anything was bettor than a Io<a of the stock and being left on foot. I found (he an­imals a short distance from camp, quietly feeding, and after securing them for the night with bobbles. I returned toward the fire.

When I got near enough to we distinctly, there be sat In,tbe same oUllucte ns before and Jnst os I canght the first gllJ a coyote not far behind me put □, laugh, half-how], startling me until heart beat against my ribs, and I halted

wa?,P° could not freeze nor st»< mj, so pulling my hat down over my eyes I blun­dered rapidly straight np to the camp fire: and once there—no sign of any one!

Piling more wood on the fire, I soon lay down, and pulling the blankets over my hind, tried lo sleep, bnt I could not.

Neither could I think of the day’s occur­rences; and at last I fell into a train of thought In which all the acts, fights, scones, and faces I had ever done or known came to my mind with the almost clearness. Faces long dimmed In my memory came up clear in every line, triek end lineament. Thus following back my line of life. I came to early boyhood, and there, amid Beenes of wading In cool brooks, nut-gatherings In gaudy au­tumnal forests, romping with tbe house-dog, or trudging off to school. I fell asleep; dream­ing myself in a cold winter’s night, tucked warm In bed by the dear, kind bands tbat

agony, the form faded from the firs and I saw it no more; bat a low, clear laugh secuiod to enffnse the night air, the wild wind sighed through the Jong reeds about the spring, and the stillness of dry, scraggy Nevada jfelfupon tbe scene.

Some portion of that country Is now lhor» oughly prospected and traveled over. "The Lost Mine” 1* not yet found—bnt I have no Inclination to ride that way again.

As for spirits and modern Spiritualism, I still do not know what to make of them; like many wonderful things I have read of they require either more brains to believe wlth.br Jam to reason with, than belong lo Blim Sim.

For-this reason

they are content to sacrifice truth and give {{J®, °i,Ahelr influence to prejudice. But this condition cannot endure. It Is some­times broken down In a remarkable way, as we witnessed upon a rail coach last winter. A gentleman was discussing Spiritualism in an entertaining way. His remarks were more anwdoUl than philosophical, bnt final- ly ne Bald:

"There are millions of Spiritualists who can not be Induced to declare themselvee. They know the doctrine to be true, bnt are cowardly enongh to fear ridicule.”

Forty-two years ago there lived In one o f «he suburbs of Boston a family named Fenloy. ThjVfatljer w u a snip-rigger, in good circum­stances, and blessed with many children. It was a sociable family, and being graced with several pretty daughters, several young ivntlemep were from time to time attractec io the Fenley Homestead, Some wanted ships rigged and others wanted—they didn’t know what, but maybe gentle possession* of tho girls.

One of the young girls married early, and her husband migrated to California to se< c his fortune two or three years previous to tL< gold fever of 1&«. Ha preceded the Argon ante, aud, os near as the fact cajfhpw tw S^rteiiied, sent for hts wife to Job hlnfat

A few mluntes past bidnlght the tranco terminated Anna's spirit returned to her body and she opened her eyes in astonish-

, J nterw,t those present appeared by their looks to feel In her. When she waa told what had occurred her grief and fright were pathetic. It needed no additional evi­dence to establish In her mind that her sle- ter was drfad, and when, many weeks there­after, a letter arrived detailing the ovent.lt was to her like a twice-told tale. She was controlled by her slater's spirit many times thereafter, but for more then a year she dreaded reenmneea of the trance condition, and wo* In the habit of sleeping at the houae of a relative for the pnrpoae of avoid­ing It.

Five days after the death of bis mortal

Brt we saw the materialized form of H. W.ngfellow In Cincinnati. He came from

ine cabinet with a measured tread and eaer dignity, looked eagerly around the circle for recognition, and when a gentleman pro­nounced his name he bowed with grace, stepped back one step Hnd dematoriallzed In plain view of all present. He seemed to melt ■ Into ihe carpet, aud the act of dlsiipnearanee occupied about a minute. Upon the spot where he went from mortal sight there was a phosphorescent glow for at least tea minutes. Hte appearance was strikingly real aud startling. The gentleman who recog­nized ai^d called him by name had viewed a fine steel portrait of the deceased poet that day, and he remarked upon the correct llko- ness of the print, and the evident expectation of the subject that recognition 1n that circle would bo .prompt and satisfactory. Since that time he has materlslized many times In Boston, and invariably has been attended by the phenomena which characterized hi* appearance in this city.

On another occasion a lady came out of the cabinet with a little child In her arms. A recently bereaved mother was greatly affect­ed and reached frantically for the little one.It threw u n ite arms gleefally, made some vigorous kicks and spraog into the arms or the weeping mother.

Yon are causing the ’sain ts’ to pose as martyrs, now and then, behind prison bars; but you can accomplish nothing more in this way than-to make fees for lawyers, courts and Jurors; and nil your present efforts remind Us of the attempt of a email boy to prevent the midnight raldeof a marauding feline upoufhls mother’s pantry by gravely seeking to stop the cat-hole with a stove-pipe. The monuy you are expendingin litigation Is worn** than wasted.......If yonreally mean that polygamy shall be put dprtrn —and we hope you do—you must give mono­gamous women their pTOper personal repre­sentation In Congress. Then they can get an appropriation to pity the travel lug expenses of repentant women—victims of polygamy— back to the recruiting grounds whence they were decoyed, where they will act aa a perpetual check to further recruits, aud thus cat off the supply at the fountain heads. Mormons complain that the young girts of the church will not become polyg­amists if they can help themselves. We re­member once taking lunch In Salt Lake City with & bright Mormon girl, who vowed that sht* would never marry In polygamy, bnt would have a Gentile husband or none at all. She said she believed polygamy was sn ordinance of God; but she laughingly added that she would ’rather enjoy a little taste of heaven white on earth and riek a little hell hereafter.” This almost universal sentiment among tho girls in Morinondom, added to the experience of victims returning repentant to the hot-beds whore polygamy Is hatched by Mormon evangelists, would act as a check both wftys to the spread of the econrge,which would toon die of itself unless supplied con­tinually with new victims and new territory.”

WOMEN IN COLUMBIA COLLEGE.A tot*] number of tho New York Herald

contains this account o f1 an Interview with the venerable President of Columbia:

"Though there are no women in the under­graduate classes of Columbia College," said President Barnard to a Jleratd reporter, “ yet the course for women is parallel to and equal to the course for young men. The women do not receive Instruction in the college, but pursue their studies elsewhere and come here for examinations. If the college onjy had an annex building for female students, we would, without doubt, have a large number,”

” How many are there under the present system?"

‘‘Nineteen. This U just now one of the tides they come np fur examinations. Some of the women are quite remarkable scholars. One or two Greek scholars are among their number, and their marks are equal to those of the best Greek scholars among the young men. One of these days, perhaps some lib­eral-minded man may do for women here what Pro fewer Hors ford of Cambridge has done for the collegiate education of womeu in Massachusetts,”

What site would you select for such a' building as yon speak of?"

" Why, Mr. Villarii’shonse might be bought. It la to near the college that the professors conld Instruct the yemne women dally. I suspect that something of the kind wilt hap­pen sooner or later."

Tbe president then went on to tel I of the magnificent gifts which have lately been mane to the college library all of whlph will, at no distant day, be at the serviyff of tbe Jady under-graduates.

The honseof Mr. VI11 ard which Is mention­ed, Isa splendid structure, elegantly finished, and In the immediate vicinity of Colombia College, it would make a first class building for tbe purpose Indicated. Will not some rich woman set an example to others by a gift of money towards buying an annex for women Indents?

ijoad, the Gravo-Viewe of a Methodist 'Bishop.

Randolph B. Foster Is a Bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, an able and earnest man. A volume made op of hla dla- courses at Chautauqua Assembly la IBIfl.nud of bis articles on r e c o g n i t i o n In the futaro state, comes out from tbs Methodist publish­ing booses, and has wide circulation and re­spectful attention. In the introduction the author speaks of f As u r a o f r e a to n as follows:

“ A ny d o c trin e w h ich c a a o u t r a d o n th e tea t o f Jio m ost ( e a r th in g ecruUQy, (hoold b e ru led o u t aa u n w o rth y o f belleL By tb la w e do o u t m ean to affirm th e exD M M

t- This If high ground: higher than tbB writ er maintains all through, as it seems to ns. His Intuitions speak, and hla creedal 11 mi la tlons bring him down to a lower level. But of this more In doe time. The italics at the close of the quotation are ours. Farther along In the volume a question la asked and answered: H Dora death and a ll? ’

When b* I*. or that be 1* at ell, !■ ibeolately unknown to ox The dead do not come back to ua, and we ere out able to go to tiwn."

This man of large Mothodlst experience believes, but does not know,'and bis frank- nen of statement deserves respqct; bat when he says that not a single fact gives ns abso­lute knowledge, he Ignores the experience of a multitude of competent observers as coolly as doss Robert Ingersoll. I t Is, Indeed, sin­gular to rae the Methodist and the Material­ist join In this qalet Ignoring. He seems almost to Ignore the Inner sense.-^the deep intuition of Immortality which has survived the ages, and which lies a t the foaudatlon of all religion. Belief In oatward authority Of book and creed dims and weakens faith In the troths of the aonl. "Tbs dead do not come'back to ua and we are not able to go to

, them,” a n feebly ottered words la view of tho trances and transfiguration scones in the Bible and ot tbs experiences of Spiritualists now on eartb. He says, however, of " Ghost seers":

all and through all, are his proofs of the be- luifof Deity. IfblBraul tells him that God

IsT so that hs emphatically knows that su- preme truth, why not trast something to the voice within wblch.ssyo; Thou shall not die? Why say “ we have neither sense nor mental vision of man after he dies "? How can his consciousness bo so alive to the being of.Qod and so dead toman’s Immortal being. Both by the soul and through the senses which confirm the Inward conviction does the Spir­itualist know of tho eternal life, of which we are now in the Oral stages. Such knowledge is a "pleasing Illarion " which Bishop Foster Is kindly willing should bo entertained, as

It can do no harm." To call such know! edge a harmless Illusion Is a step (jp from calling It a device of Satan. Mark ths down ward step: “ There are doctrines which no stress of evidence could force on a rational being—which no authority In the universe could make obligatory. Such la any doctrine which la self-contradictory, or any propoai tlon which Is contrary to any knowledge which we possess. Belief against knowledge Is impossible." IJe “ cannot doubt" God’J infinite wisdom, goodness and Jnstlw; eter nat punishment Is the horror of horrors to him agalust which his soul revolts; It Is con trary to his knowledge or Idea ot justice in man or God; dlvlue justice and goodness In flirting awful and hopeless suffering on man—suffering which cannot benefit the tor­tured creature—Is self-contradictory; to be­lieve It te a belief againrt hls know ledge,and yet hB believes, or tries to think that he does, and the effort is tortnre to hls soul.

Where.man Is, or that he exists at all after death, la unknown to ua; that God la good and just and yet Inflicts a horror ot horrors without any possible benefit or room for hope or reform on countless milLJoua of hls crea­tures la aa far and as high as thta Methodist BUbop ean.aeel

To such poor uses do we come at last wheu we allow creed or book to blind the soul and con fuse the mind! Spiritualism In lta high­er aspects would be life and hope to him and to others like him. It la the need of the world. )

The Prevalence of Fanaticism.

Another story (asset forth by the Salt Lake ZWfcuiw; of the banefal effects of fanaticism In Utah, as illustrated bythu practice of Mormon belief, cornea now from a homo where recently a young lady, the last of a family of eight children, died a horrible death from diphtheria, for which no relief was at­tempted £ther than the anointing and mum mery which the blind faith of these cranks prescribes. One by one this large circle ot children have died from the disease, and Hla the proud boast or this family that a doctor was never within tho household. The last one had rsached the age ot eighteen years, and' the fell disease worked slowly against the resistance of a strong constitution, which, ailed by medical skill, would likely have triumphed and the girl’s life been saved. Bat the Mormon rites and belief mnsFba obeyed, and so by degrees the destroyer took the young life by a lingering process. As the last struggle came, the agony of the poor girl was something terrible to witness. In her anguish she tors her hair from hef head

id sought to throw herseU from the bed,; he combined strength of several persona

Fwaa required to keep her upon the couch. In any othdr community those responsible for this death could be made answerable to the law for such criminal neglect.

Rel[gious\fanatlrtsm Is, of coarse, preval­ent among the Mormons. Everywhere In Utah It lifts Its hydra-head and exerts Us banefal Influence. The fact that the Mor­mons are constantly Impressed wltj^hefdea t o t theirs la the only%ne religion, and the only one that receives the fall and unquali­fied endorsement of Deity, It must be expect- ed that they will Vely exclusively on him.

If God Is really good, charitable and kind as entertained by re|lglous peopIe generally, and carefully watches over hls earthly chil­dren and tender 1 y ceres for them, what could be more n a to a l than to trust Implicitly In him, and in cases of elcknera expert relief from hla hands. The members ol every ortho­dox church entertain peculiar notions of the character of God- They are taught hy their beloved pastors that He Is omnlMjAntTomnl potent and omnipresent, and pdweseee nn-

lawa, bnt that he can not be expected to set a broken limb, cut out a tumor, carry flour or bread to the hungry, restore the sick, or bring the dead back to life,—then the world would not be corned wlllias mach fanaticism as Is manifested at the present time.

As is well kaown, several years ago on the first Sunday of May, the church and grave­yard In the village of Pocaaset, Mase., wit­nessed pn extraordinary display of fanati­cism, more barbarle, If possible, than that exhibited by the Mormons. Edith Freeman had been slain by her Inhuman parents. It Is Bald that at the bnrlat, as the earth began to fall upon the coffin, a trembling old man, leaning despondently upon a graveatone, pas­sionately cried out, ** Why has God failed to keep hls promise?" The father possessed un­bounded faith in God; hla honesty and In­tegrity os a man had never been doubled; he was regarded as a kind neighbor and Indulg­ent father; be believed the Bible ln lta liter­al sense; and to Illustrate hls romance In God, he expected him to recall hlfr*iqvely daughter back to life again. Freeman not Insane when he committed the awfn deed which shocked the whole civilised world, doing so under the misapprehension that hls act received divine sanction. He was simply misled by the Bible narratives, and was cool and deliberate In all hls acta. *

In Michigan, Dora Beckman was regard­ed by the Perfectionists as having been se­lected as the mouthpiece of God; such a trav­esty of religion finds congenial soil among those whose minds are not folly developed or well balanced. Freeman Is only one of many who murdered their children, thinking they were complying with tho wishes of Delly. There 1b a certain degree of fanaticism per­meating all the churches which finds ex­pression in various ways. Tho minister who talks of a being who shakes slnnersover hell, or alludes to the devil as possessing a horn and cloven foot, or who refers In bis sermons to the "Impassable golf" between heaven and tho sulphurous regions of satan, or who claims that God la angry with the sinners every day. Is simply fanatical, not fully resi­tting what he Is talking about.

The Mormons excel all other religious de­nominations In their fanaticism, licentious­ness and disregard of every moral law.— A case In point Is related by the Chicago Tribune, Illustrating the fact that the ex­pulsion ot John Q. Cannon from the Mormon Church on a charge of adultesy is only a sham, and designed to avoid a prosecution for polygamy In the criminal courts. This singular proceeding on the part of the Mor­mon authorities, Instead of advertising their fSjfyd for morality, ought to direct public attention to the extraordinary fact that In Utah there are no statutes for the punish ment of adultery, fornication or lnceet, all laws of this character having been furtively repealed by n Mormon Legislature several years ago. In the Indecent community dour 1 nated by the Mormon Church there is no penalty whatever for these crimes, and the Edmunds art applies to a distinct class of offenses, being designed to pnnlsh polygamy as sneh. and aa the Supreme Court has said, Vn forbid flaunting before, the community "the ostentation oLa bigamous household." Tho proof under the Edmunds act is complete when It shows the maintenance of ouch household with an open claim or pretense of plural marriage. .Immorality perpetrated without any pretense of civil or "celestial1 marriage Is left to be punished by the laws of tho Territory, and as the "Mints" have re­pealed all these statutes. Utah has the most shameless code of any commnnlty Inside of clvlllutlon. Cannon (who la a son of George Q. Cannon and First Counselor of the pre- rtdlng Bishop) pleaded gnllvy, knowing there

.'was no law In Utah for tho punishment of adultery, and hoping to escape an indict ment for polygamy. What do the people think of this spectacle, showing as U does tho existence of an American Territory lack tug laws of common decency each os are en­forced by half-olvlltxed tribes and la many cases by barbarians? The severity of the Ed­monds act, wbloh applies only |o cases of plan! marriage, has blinded the public to the true character of the local laws of Utah, and the Cannon performance may welt serve to disclose the trntb. .Let the people call on the Congressman now np for ret* lection to explain themselves and show If they can that thev were not responsible for the fall- ore last winter of the measures looking to the establishment of decency in Utah. Eden, the Illinois Congressman who assisted -Id smothering one of these bills, has been hand­somely decapitated by hls constltnenta, and the example Is one that should spread. De­spite the Edmonds art the local laws of Utah are rtlli id many eases lostbsomo and intol­erable. Let the people see to It that another Congress shall not adjourn without an effort to make adultery, fornication and Incest crimes even d a Utah.

In view of tihe gross Imperfection of homan nature It ta impossible to wholly suppress the manifestations ot fanaticism. I t ' will at times manifest Itaelf In a variety of ways, and will only tally subside when the people from whom It originates, rise to a higher plane of thought and action. That can only be accomplished by gradual growth and devel­opment.

Prof. Newcomb Should Resign.

That th& American Society for Psychical Research has from its Inception been loaded with an incompetent and bitterly prejudiced president, ta generally known.

"I desire my funeral to b$Mw simple aa pos­sible, and that all tokens arid signs known aa mourning may be entirely discarded. I de­sire a simple monument to be placed over my mortal remains, and the following to be en graved thereon:

" ‘David DnnglasHome, Born to earth life near Edinburgh (Scotland) March 20, 1833. Born to spirit-life... .To another discerning of spirits: 1st Corinthians, 12th chapter, 10th verse:....1 8 ..,.* "

A cross and palm In the moet beautiful white marble will rise from a Calvary, ibe symbol of suffering and victory and therefore of bis life. Only a superhuman force could have stut&lned him under trials so many and arduous, and have enabled blm to gloriously carry the burden of his cross for the love of the troth.

AIL proves blm to have been designed for that great mission; for bow many times was he not eared as If by a miracle? Hie life Is a wondrousaud,curlotis narrative, the Interest of which hls want of vanity prevented him from appreciating; but aumclent documents are In my hands, and at least I have the right to avail myself of them In order to throw ful­ler light on It.

Hls gift of medinmshlp was not the only one that God had given him. He bad an enthusiast!) for the noble and beautiful adored the arts, and hla- genius aajt~reci(er of both poetry,andmroee evoked enthusiasm In every country. Together with tho keenest and finest Intellect, he hail the simplicity of a child. Everything around him Interested him and hls gay and affable humor attracted every one to him. even before the? had learned to know him and appreciate him. Nothing will ever efface the memory of the marvelous and perfectly attested phenomena witnessed at the stances of Mr, D. D. Home. Hls life and gifts will remain the an shaken base on which the mighty and glorious truth# of Spiritualism are reared. It was not only that in hls presence physical manifestations of the most extraordinary character were wit neaaed,—It was. above aII,that through him

ana teach­ware received the most consolln Ing messages that coaid never v forgottenand that gave the certainty of another life, ind a future happiness. It was the replies given In every language to unexpressedand a future happiness._ o every fa _ .. thoughts,—replies from the spirits dearest to tho recipient, the aonla that atone wereac- qua I n ted with the Inner secrets of one's life, Never was there spoken through blm a trivial or evasive message; bnt every communication consoled and guided while It conrt need. Bach was what Mr. Home termed the true Spirit- nalisiD, the sublime verity that was so dear to him, and to which he devoted hls life, Hie ruling thought was always to discover a medium whose manifestations should b» or tho highest-order, and to whom he might transmit the love of the truth, and devotion to the cause. His wish survives In me, and is the more lively that, being left alone, I need an earnest purpose to Inspire me. Joined with It, I feel the natural deefre to have gen- ntne communications. It was with tbaVhope I resolved, the other day, to sec a professional medium; trying to forget the unfavorable impression that' (he acceptance of money cre­ates In such a case, where the payment ought to be only esteem and gratitude. The name of thle medium was recently mentioned In an article whieh related to my husband, and I sincerely wish he had been worthy of each association, Alas? I carried away the most painful Impression possible. A half truth !h worse than a falsehood. I hare no doubt that the direct writing between two slates was real. I even feel rare of it, bnt tbe coutents of these message* were absolutely worthies#, laekin. Identity and void of consolation or interest. 1 was impossible that they should have come from the source asserted, ind they could carry conviction to no one. I learned afterwards that two of my f rleuds carried away the same Impression. I declare that If my first experi­ences of a s'ance had been similar. I should be to-day an avowed disbeliever In Spirit­ualism.

These backward spirits, whose Intelligence and osipI rations have not yet progressed in the Spirit-world, and whom no one recog­nises, commonly express themselves In Eng­lish. They did not know even how to give my name correctly, and could hardly read It. I, therefore, happily remained unknown to the median and hie gnldes. As for the phys­ical maffifeetatioue, such as movements of chairp^etc., they constituted only a clumsy trickery on tbe part ot the medium, ft I* to be regretted that he does not confine himself wholly to slate-wrltlng and rapping*.

During the whole Illness of Mr. Home.be possessed the glftof clairvoyance In the high­est development; and although In these last

ears the spirits did not wish to fatigue him •y stances, they surrounded him constantly.

I have a whole volume of remarkable com­munications which prove the affection that aurvlvea earth-life and watches over ua. I will cite. without making any selection, two examples showing thexsotidtudeof which Mr. Home waa the object. Whilst a visitor was present, tappings began to mingle with tbe conversation, Their message to him waa that he should not disturb himself on the receipt of a letter which would announce unexpected bnt welcome news. At the same'motor-* there was a knock at tbe door, and the . or Inferred that It announced the arrival of tba letter la question. "No,"said Mr. Home, before allowing the person outside to enter; “It Is another.’* He was right; for two hours later that arrived which bad been foretold. Another day. Mr. Horn? was much disturbed at not receiving a package which we were ex­pecting, and In order to calm him, I proposed a drive. When at the turning of a afreet, a voice- said distinctly: “Daniel, look to the right, tba valuables are there.* We taw, In fact, a railway-van loaded with a m an of

' and aa wa fixed our eye* on them, they.’ell on two large chests bearing hls. name. Such Incidents were of constant occurrence; and while tba spirits, thus watched to pro­tect him from ev*n the smallest vexaththey gave oaths joy of their preeeuce, the highest felicity that souls united to tbe tn could wish. I had discovered that uncon­sciously to myself, I possessed the faculty of writing under tbelr dictation. It has not left me; and beside Mr. Home, I hare alaoac- iDlred the g lftof Intuition to a remarkable

Jegree, which baa Cedi of much service to me in Ilfs.

1 am neither surprised a t nor Interested la, all that has been said of Mr. Home. I have always thought, like my husband, that ab­surdities and calumnies are too much below the greatness ot tbe truth to merit even a de­nial. An earnest seeker fortrntb will ascertain bow false are those which It Is especially cowardly after hla death, seel ug that ther

lu England enabling tbe survivor to take judicial proceedings, \

As soon as my health permit#, IHs my In tentlon to occupy tim d f with the Interesting correspondence of Air. Home; and 1 will ac­quaint yon with the best portion* of it. from which anything may he drawn for tho In tercet and the promotion of the cause.

Believe, meanwhile. dear Colonel Bundy, In my earnest good wishes. w

The article below, which I take from v The Elmira Morning Telegram," Indicates .that It Is not always prudent to kick at a dead man. Though silent lu death, yet he may exert a power that will seriously affect the clergyman who attacks him,

REMARKS o t A MINISTER AT A RECENT FUNERAL AT WAVXRLY, N. T.

The all absorbing topic of the hoar here, is tbe faueinl sermon delivered (over the re­mains of tho late Fred. F. Ellis,) at the M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon, by the pastor. Kev.J. A. Woodruff. The church watt filled by a numerous assemblage of friends and relatives, gathered to pay tbelr last respects to the deceased young man, who was very popular and generally liked. In the course of bis remarks Rev. Woodruff made use of certain allusions to events in the past life or the deceased, perhaps unintentionally, but which appears to havp been variously con­strued, to judge by the almost universal con­demnation with which they have been met. Hls assertions that "until a few years ago tho deceased had boon a most exemplary young man," appeared to bo the principal objectionable Utterance, and which Is the subject of much comment, decidedly uncom­plimentary to the pastor. Rev. Woodruff'sassertion* were based solely, aa he staled, on Information obtained from persona met with on the street, possibly of the class, however, who alwaya see the mote In their neighbor's eye, but fall to see the beam In their own. That a clergyman In the ministerial duties, should be guided by tbe promptings of per­sons, who through IH-coucealed spite, are ever ready to besmirch the name of tbelr fel­low man, even when cold lu death, is certain­ly not very creditable to a Christian mini <ter of any denomination. Tbe pastor evidently need tbe opportunity to point out a- moral, but that hls presumably honest Intentions were miscarried Is only too apparent by the unanimity with whtth people here seem to agree In condemning hls utterances which were at leam uncharitable

pastor;.

and uncalled for. The tribe of Red Men, of which the deceased was a member, were present to tb« number of .over sixty, and all are highly indignant a t what they consider the ungenerous and unchristian like utterances of the ...Rer. Mr. Woodruff’s explanation of hls . tloo Is to the effect that he Intended no per eonal allusions, bnt simply spoke In a gener­al way and In a manner which to him appear­ed to be In accordance with his position as pastor. Several of the oldest and most promi­nent members of the church bare openly avowed their Intention to sever tbelr connec­tion with the church while the present pastor is retained. The. fact that the wife of the deceased, who, os la well known to every one here, labored hard for the support and com­fort of her husband for over two years, was totally Ignored and not referred to during the sermon, although dae reference was mode to the other members of tbe family, looks very much as If the sermon was de­livered to the liking of tbe parties who so- magnanimously ported tbe pastor ou what to aay, A retraction from the pastor would ap­pear to be the proper thing under thecircum- slances, and the friends of the deceased have expressed tbelr willingness to condone the offenee If the pastor will disclose the names of hi* Informants, The maiker has created a moat profound sens^louLbere and one scarcely bears anything elsd talked of. The sermon Is strongly condemned by all who heard It. and the action of (be pastor, even though his Intentions were hohent. Is the nb-

{ect of touch unfavorable criticism. The ilgh standing of the family of the deceased

gives the matter an ln'ereft and prominence which It wonld probably not otherwise have attained.

A clergy man who Is so Indifferent or care­less touching the gentle amenities of life. Jbathe will attack tbe private character or tbe dead at a funeral, la the presence of mourning friends and relatives, should take warning from what happened to Nebnch- adnexr.Br, alter having sorely tried tbe pa­tience of the Lord: "And he was driven frommen. and did eat grass as oxen, and hls body was wet with tba-dew of heaven, till hls hairs were grown IlW eagles' feathers, andbis nails like birds' claws.’* No gentleman, soundly orthodox, will eay thta did not take place, or that It ts not possible that It should not ocenr again. And to whom would It be more likely to come, than to one so coarse and brntertlke in feeling, as to seize upon aa neral occasion to trample upon tbe finer

DatbUitlea of toarfcl and sorrowing mourn-

’The “Red Men” doubtless have a funeral ceremony of their own, which they would do well to make use of—setting aside orthodox sermons, which are really an abomination to all minds not enslaved by ancient traditions. A few days since, I requested a German

lerchant to eall for me on hls way Into tbe >nntry to attend the funeral of a highly re-

German farmer. Being a little In of tbe appointed boor, my friend d that we drive two or three miles

. and call upon a gentleman having fine gronnds, and plenty of flowers. I did not object, for I readily divined that he would like to avoid listen lag to an orthodox ser­mon. We returned lost In time to file In with the long train of wagon*, moving to tit:* cemetery grounds. I congratulated myself that we had made a happy nit, perhaps eared my friend from some unspoken language not complimentary. I have attended orthodox funerals when the preachers’ disco nr*# pro­duced subjectively very strong except lone to

Rltlozie taken, Under sactneirfeaaOTtanes* ave been forcibly reminded' of an old

gentleman whom I knew very well lit the days when polUlcr ran Whig and Democrat.- The' old gentleman was. well read, bat a strong Democrat, and -with all quite food of “mlnt-julep.” He went to a Whig political meeUng'vGs evening when he had drank Just

Tl\e Friends Society -have a good method for fanerals. They meet together generallya t the home of tba departed—alt' for a .brief time In silence.. If any 'one present feels moved to aay a few words, it Is well; If u t It la just as well, for a silent meeting in the presence of the dead is vpry Impressive. I don't think there are any Quaker speakers so 1 Ji-mabnered as to make unfriendly criticism* on the life or character of tbe deceased. Such a thing would not bo tolerated. If there Is ever a time when propriety, delicacy

.and tender regard for the feeling of our fel low-beings should be manifested, ft Is on funeral occasions; but That class of public speakers, who make It a point to send ait to a tropical country who don’t believe aa they do, can hardly be expected to bold lu abey­ance their Btrfphor ecented opinions. The funeral ritual of the Odd Fellows is free from sectarian dogmas, and 1 presame the same of most other secret societies. In re­sorting to these, no offense could come to any one.

Camp of tbe Connecticut Spiritualist Association.

I d UwXdLui «r UA KfJlOVo PhU-wophlcal Journal lCalls from home compel me to day to with­

draw myself from this, I may well eay, en­chanted spot, for it Is true that I have no where found a place mor ■ enchanting to me, nor one that to so great an extent stirs the divinity within me, and make* mo look from nature up to nature’s God, and feel that lam an Immortal entity.

When I walk It* streets and otyterve the fraternal feeling that exist* among the camp­ers, and the manner In wjilch they vie with each other as to who can best excel in their efforts to promote each other's welfare, I ex-' claim within myself, “ How good it is for brethren to dwell together In unity!*'

I arrived in the camp. 1 regret to say. after the illumination was over, which, If I may be allowed to judge from the /decoration* that etlll remain, must have passed off with great eclat

J, Clegg Wright occapled the rostrum on Sunday, August 22nd, and gave two interest­ing and eloquent lectures, to which I listen­ed with Interert and pleasure. There ar*- upon the grounds a number of medium*, and 1 am glad to say, there Is not among them any of those so-called materializing medl *nms, nor any who require darkness withinwhich to practice th e ir--------1 I venture toadvise the Society, If it wishes to preserve the peace and promote the prosperity of the camp, that It keep, all each away. This camp was not ashdred Into exlsten:e with a great noise and hurrah; on tbeicontrary, It was organized by quiet, firm and determined adles and gentlemen, who Intended that It ihould be placed upon a sound tbasK which rauld furnish them and tbelr ^descendant* for all time to come with happy home* away from business marts, to which they can with­draw daring the scorching days of summer, where, freed from the cares and Holis of every day life, their souls may be refVeshe-t and revivified with new truths, hopes and joys from the fountain* of eternal life. \

They have again demonstrated tbelr de­termination to make tbe camp a permanent home, by raising a sufficient sum of money to pay off ail indebtedness, and to-day they

tbe property and tbe extensive Improve, ments thereon, unencumbered and in fee simple, which will donbtleasly give a new Impulse to the bnlldlng of mottoges. I can feel from the Influences around me that a boom to the camp Is fast approaching. The camp adjoin* that of the Military Encamp­ment Ground of the State of Connecticut, and is surrounded, on three sides by the Mantle river, forming a peninsula. There la now erected upon It forty-five substantial cottages, besides a number of canvas houses. The Company have erected a large pavilion the tipper part of which Is used for lodging apartments, and also a complete restaurant, from which are served good meal* at very tow prices. From the tower erected by Mr. Geo. H. Burnham, tbe ocean ls.plalnly to to- seen by aid of ths glasses with which tbe place Is fnrnlshed. It also contains lodging rooms upon each floor,

Tile water of the river Is qnltrsalt. and contains abundance of flab, crabs, etc., afford log fins Bmosement for those fond of boat log and piscatorial sport.___ ______ epoi

. The emissions from the pines, mingling with tbesalt thrown off from the river, produce an atmosphere that would be a healing balm to many an Invalid, aod the probability to that the day Is not far off when the place will become known aa a health resort

\ To get the key to this mystery, let It be re­membered that Krishna (chap.,4) declares that be restored to the world the Yaga-doc­trine, ** long lost to the world," and that liedeclared: ** IFAeiwtwr there it a relaxation ttf duty, and jw jgrrease of impiety, I Glen re­produce mjtclffor'iiu) protection o f the good, and thAdestruction af>vildo«rt, ■ I am pro­duced In every age fo r the purpoee o f wfah- litMdg duty.

Bat. we do pot now merely speak about a d o c tr in e dependentupon a certain form of phlloaophlraLthought. A ll forme o f lifeare int/furnml by thU pover. Look upon oar law systems, for Instance,how Equity-Jurisprudence smooths down the severest Justice, thus preventing the pure and naked idea, of right from crashing out life and from destroying the elastic mobilityOf human existence, and Introducing the in

2bis lends us to ask a question relative to e heart's power orer natnre at large. Does

nature ever show mercy? Can any one, man or woman, move nature by love? His any one studied these two questions? Who has Written on these subjects of Kardialogy? We wish to know! Write us!)

That which Christian theology and moremodern .philosophy has had to say about immanence Is really hnt another form of thellytold Aryan belief of Incarnation. The Aryans

ndela-tn particular conceived this notion and’berated It; It Is a revelation pre eminently Aryan. It Is taught In tbe traditional beliefabout Brahm at fA* usftvrtal form o f every ciemeaf a ad creature, "tacrifidng h im ttif

{’cr ali," "for the pood of the tout.’ ___□tlmately connected with this belief Is the

Most

other mystical doctrine of the unity of the human seal with Brahm, equally of Aryan

At any rate, both theee forms of inongQi are not of Bhemltlc origin. Even before the Shemetie mind adjusted Itself to a comprehension of the prophetic “ faror," the Aryan hortelaboratcd Its general notions of the universality of tbe divine life, and defin­ed Its manifestations sharply as Rama and later as Krishna.

If we examine tbe records, as we possess them to-day, of the various religions systems of tbe world, we Bhall find this belief every­where. and why?

suming more Importance In tbe North and West, end while those who formerly were the moet bitter opponents to the can«e, are fast becoming Ua meet ardent supporters, let me say that here la Tennessee, the number of persons who have cast their lot with us in the past year Is simply wonderful, and un­derstand, the new adherents gained for tbe caose are the moat Intellectual and reflaedportion of our people.

It has recently been discovered that a ladyresiding here Is possessed of rare qualifies lions as a medium, and some of the manifes­tations produced through her agency are startling and wonderful to a degree rarely witnessed. The lady alluded to Is Mrs. Jo­sephine Todd, the accomplished wife of Prof. J. M. Todd, Connty School Superintendent of this connty. Mrs. Todd Is a pteasant.-ceAned

Knowledge relate* to Spirit. Knowledge means of the seusea Is not real knowledge.

knowledge of Spirit la true knowledge, hence. • J , ------------‘ ** * 1 * *such attainment becomes the chief object of

philosophical Inqnlry. Spirit viewed gener­ally may be regarded as being of three kli all three eo closely connected that they real­ly become three aspects of Spirit, only. Thusth e" ' ” ' ' ...........the Bhagav&d-Glta. The first aspect of Spirit Is aa The Supreme Being. Tbs different as­pects and characters of the Supreme Being are thus classed:

AdAfefafrafa, the Supreme Being as presid­ing over (adtal '•presiding over” and deva or derata “ deities*) the gods.

Adhyatma, the Bnpreme Being viewed aa * presiding over eoula," ae the essence of Bpirit andorlgin of tndlvldaai eoula.

AdAlAAufa. the Supreme being as presid­ing over " that which exists," namely matter,

The One IndivUible (akshara). that Is, the universal energy permeating existence. It la called the one Indivisible contrasted with lndlvldnal souls (Kabara).

ArfAlyqjna.The Baproms Being aa Krish­na, the manifested object of worship. In theeighth chapter, where Arjuna asks what la Adhlyajoa, Krishna answers and says “ Ad- hlyajua 1h myself here upon earth, (n tbebody,"afld goes on demanding "worship,1 claiming It as a right, regarding bis powers. Most men are too material to be able to wor­ship the pare abstract Idea of the Supreme as Spirit, hence the Supreme Spirit appears In this tangible and manifest person] Acs lion.

ThiB Anoicfwfac. which berfr Is sketched in outline, la Indispensable to emancipation. No sacrificial act, nor the Vedas themselves can substitute It. Says Krishna: "He who truly comprehends my divine birth and ac­tion does not undergo regeneration when be quits the body, bat comes to me." "Every action, without exception, U comprehended in tpiritual knowledge.'" Acquire this knowl­edge by doing honor, by Inquiry, and by ser­vice (to those philosophers who possess this knowledge)! “There Is no purifier In the world like knowledge.” "Having acquired spiritual knowledge,Jie soon attains to su­preme tranquillity. ’

The other Indispensable requisite for true and final emancipation is the I'opa, or ascet­ic practices. ,

The Yoga system Is divided into two pai the Hatha and the Raja Yogas. Thedeals principally with the physiological

Jectla to control tha mind, and dednlte^rmeft to that end have been laid down by Eastern adepts. It consists mainly in endeavors to control the Bensee, to be in­different to enjoyments and to submit to a Guru or teacher. A disciple fall of an ardent desire to be free from the bonds of tbe Phe­nomenal, and foUowlng the above rules will finally arrive at,ihs annium Aon urn of bis ex­istence, final btjttHade.

Says Krishna in the chapter called “Devo­tion by means pf self restraint:'1 “He who Is attached neither to tbe objects of the senses, nor to actions, and has renounced all (earth­ly) plana, Is said to have ascended to ^devo­tion." “A devotee should always exercise himself, remaining In seel union and eolltnde, restraining his thoughts and himself, with­out Indulging hopes and without posses, slona." “The highest happiness accrues to that devotee of tranquil heart, who, haring set a t rest the natural quality of badness, partakes of tbe nature of fho Supreme Spirit, and ia '^ le ss .”' “The eoul which Is devoted

The social standing and posi­tion of the lady are such as to render all no­tions of fraud or collusion simply pre poster- one and absurd.

For the past week tbe manifestations have been the talk of the town, and therefore I de­termined to call npon the lady, and satisfy

Last evening I repaired to her residence—apleasant, two-story house, situated In the B u b n rb s , and making known my mission I was cordially welcomed by the lady and Tierhusband. Being ushered Into the parlor, I found perhaps a boo re of persons assembled. The room had the usual furniture found In a parlor, and a targe chandelier hang from the centre of the colling. A magnificent piano ocoapled one end o f tbe room, and a French horn was hanging above It from a bracket made of a stag's antlers, tipped with silver. After a few minutes apent la geaeral con­versation the lady requested us to seat oar- selves around the large centre table In tbe room and Join liandu, She herself took her seat on a sofa near tbe door and at that part of tbe room farthest from the plauo. Bbe then asked ns to ting “The Sweet Bye and Bye." While the rest of tbe audience was engaged In singing that beantlfnl song, I kept my attention fixed upon the medium. Her fair free, aa the elDglng progressed, seemed to take on an expreselon of W tlflc enjoyment; her rosy 11 j» were slightly parted, and her eyoe— bright as the gems or (loleon- da, were gaxlog upward Into vacanoy with r a pithed, eager expression, Impossible to de­s c r ib e

The Sjnglng ceased, hot there was no change lb the poeture of the medium. Save for tbe unearthly brightness of the eyes, one could almost Imagine that It was some ex­quisite form carved oot of the purest Parian marble, that occupied the sofa. Suddenly borne to our ears through the open window, on the balmy night air. came the faint echo

we suddenly became aware, that what we ftbad taken for tbe notes of a distant horn,

The medium never moved or stirred, and her hunhand stepped acroes tbe room and raised the lid of the piano, then returned to hSa place Ln tbe circle. Soon the awoet air of “ My Dear Savannah Home” waa heard from the plpno. I t was played with ^correctness

Sunday, Augu-tt 29th' Mrs. A New York, and J, J. Morse of Kngland, were

good. .Spence of

the speakers, Mr. Morse ranking the closing remark* of the tenth annual camp,meeting a t this grove. Mr. Horae, after listening to ^ne of Sanky’8 and Moody’s consolidated

songs, performed by a sort of half-snrt- hslS^ethodlet and Christian Spiritualist, took for the subject, “ Oar Cause and Its Leasons." The control Said he hardly know whether be was going to preach a funeral discourse or earn np the achievements of a two-month’s camp meeting. The writer canelnded thatjFfew more ofllaoky and Moody’s songs wonVf unbalance any spiritual mindedspeaker. However that may be. Mr. Morse’s control presented some beautiful word pic­tures of our can hs.

Our meetings have been favored with someof the ablest speakers upon the spiritual platform, among them Dr. Fred L. II. Willis of Boston, A. B. French of Clyde, Ohio, J. J.Morse of England. Charles Dawbara of New York, Mrs. Sarah A. Byrnes and Mrs. H, J. T.

Stiles and Mrs. A. M. (Hading gave great satisfaction.

So far aa tbe conference meetings are con­cerned ln our camps, I believe they could bevastly Improved by making them a season to question' the speakers upon the points of in­terest in the preceding lecture, thus givingthem an oi much of t l that can be

camp meeting at Onset for HWG, I urged the of the 'readers J o u r n a l to institute circles

for Investigation of spiritual phenomena in the private home. Oar homes are eacred places where we can oat, drink and be happy: where we can commune with each other, and call to onr family altars the asHstanceof our own spirit friends.

ways found the moet advantageous the home circle to be at early candlehoar for I

light. In the negative part of the day, and tbe time we appropriate Is one half-hoar.and we have never failed In one of these s£ ancoe of receiving some token of love and recognition from onr dear departed. I have no tune here to speak of tbe manifestations, hot suffice It to say that we have been a thou­sandfold paid for the time eoont. I believe that any family that will establish an honest half-hour stance in the early evening, with Its own members, and will continue tbe same for twelve months, will receive more than satisfactory results.

Mrs, A. M. Spence said ln the course of her lecture at Onset, August 29th, that mediumship had entered the commercial world and bad a right to demand pay. I take no excep­tion to that statement. I believe medium- ship can enter the commercial world, de­mand and receive pav, and be honest every time; bnt, reader, If you would have an hon­est medlumshlp, develop it la your own fam­ily. Yonr own family circle ke a sacred spht, and you will not deceive yourselves. If In

Buddhism, or the “Inner Doc- embraces aa occult body ot teachings

exclusively confined within the pate ot se­cret orders In the East—orders whose origin dates from very remote prehistoric times. Theee teachings hare been very jealously guarded by all members of the secret broth­erhood as pearls ted precious and sacred to

.be entrusted to tbe populace. The state of mind essential to deal with these truths bas always been held to inrolre a special capaci­ty and an exceptional integrity, which the candidate can acquire only after a long course of laborious training, and a life of strict temperance, chastity and self-abnega­tion.

In the Golden Age of the pre-hlstorlc an­cients the mind of the race was generally open and accessible to tbe occult realm, which made It far more potent both for good and evil than Is possible at the present day. When this power became inverted by general wtqkfidnes* and Insincerity, tbe necromanc andMnfernaltem which Incidentally follows threatened the very existence of the race up­on tbe planet. Tbe race tendency was then toward absolute evil, bat this tendency was partially arrested by the traditional “catas­trophe" which, among other changes It ef< footed, closed the occnlt realm to ordinary human perception. The few who afterward attained to direct occult perception were those who led self sacrificing and holy lives; and these were regarded with envy and jeal­ousy by tbe world’s people, Bo there .was formed a secret brotberbood, within the pale of which tbSir exceptional knowledge was sa­credly goarded. The ties which bound the members of this Inner brotherhood together were of heaven, while the ties that bind tbe membersof secret fraternities In our modem society are ot earth. Indeed, tbe ousting **- eret orders of the West have hardly so ranch aa a counterfeit resemblance to this ancient Brotherhood that held the esoteric doctrine.

Tbs esoteric doctrine Is veiled beneath the letter of the word In moet of the Scriptures of the world. In onr own Bible this is espe­cially trae ot the first eleven chapters of Genesis, th$ Book of Daniel and tha Apoca­lypse. Swedenborg and Harris obtained par-m glimpses of the esoteric truth,Bnt tbe time has now arrived when, ln the

fodgmant of members of the Brotherhood in India, a nee may be subserved by giving fragments or the esoteric teaching to the general reading public In tbe West; and dur­ing the last dozen years a number of the scholar* of Anglo Saxon lineage B u ts been dose pupils under competent toacbfre­in embers of the order In India. A number of books hate been pohUabed Id Europe and America aa tbe result of this recent training of Western student*, s o e h 4 a ‘'Tbe Perfect Wav ■ “Isis Utiveiled " “Tbe Occnlt Wotld," and “Esoteric Buddhism." Tbe two latter worke a rt by A. P. 81nn#tt, President of tbe

Eclectic Tbeoecphleal Society. I will- attempt a vary brief synopsis of tbe philoso­

phy set forth In the last work above named. In tbe first place, tbe Occidental method of

and bonce la dependent upon no teacher for the knowledge that comes in direct contact with hla own sensitivity. Among tbe mem­bers of the Brotherhood there Is no disagree­ment and no discussion, for all see alike the the order that Is exemplified In the planetary series of which onr earth Is a member. More over, to possess the knowledge which Is ac­cessible to adepts is to wield power,—“and the who e motive of ths great secrecy In which oernlt science Is shrouded tarns upon the dang ro f conferring powers upon people who have not. first of all, by undergoing the training of Initiates, given moral guaranteed of their trustworthiness.”

The esoteric science adopts a aeven-fold in­stead of a three fold distribution of the prin­ciples that enter Into the constitution of man. These are ealled; 1st, Body; 2ad, Vi­tality: 3rd, Astral Body: 4th, Animal Soul; 5th, Human Soul; Bth.Spiritual Soul; 7th, Spirit. Here in tbe West our classification would be: 1st, Body; 2nd, Spirit; 3rd. Soot? or as some people would state it. Body, Soul, Spirit—some designating the Inmost princi­ple by the term Boa I, and others by the terra Spirit. ThB three tower principles ln this seven fold classification are assumed to be perishable, the third being an ethereal du­plicate of the physical body. At death this astrai body separates from the real conscious personality, and for a time becomes a wan­dering ghost, endowed with a species of dreamy. eetnl-Miisclon^uess, but It has no In­dependent volition, nor Is It able to make any further record of experiences. This phautem-llke form perelsta for a limited pe­riod and finally becomes dissipated. It to' sometimes called an “elementary."

The fourth principle belongs to man's higher natnre and goes with It after death. The fifth principle as yet to only partially developed, while the sixth and seventh prin­cipled are potential and still await their evb- Intlon in the race: Bnt there 1b a class of planetary spirits Cbnaected with car earth who are not involved in its evolutionary pro­cesses, bnt who preside In part ovei* those processes; these completed ihelr own evolu­tion In connection with another planetary chain In a very remote epoch. These plane­tary spirits aro developed in their sixth prin­ciple, and hence are above the cyclic law which still constrains na within tbe prescrib­ed limits of onr own planetary evolution.

Again, the esoteric science teaches a doc­trine o f evolution so broad and deep aud comprehensive that a chain or inter-related worlds are necessary to actualize It. Car win's doctrine, while It Is included and rec ognlzed, la nevertheless only a small seg­ment In this magnificent scheme. It to as­sumed that our earth to embraced In a chain of seven worlds, each of which performs a special clam of functions in the evolutionary processes; that each kingdom ln natnre, to­gether with ths species In each kingdom and the individuals ln each species, have to make a succession rff rounds or circuits through tbe chain of planets to complete their evolu- ** O nr‘’planetary chain" by no means

evolution lu the larger sense can begin, these active spiritual entitles, or monads, must MM through a bog series of Involutions on those worlds which aro distributed along the -descending arc In the planetary chain, by which the powers that were active In the en­titles at the beginning gradually pass from tbe active to the potential and Involved state, during which apparent retrogression ensues, bnt where ln reality the entitles gather about themselves a crude quantity of material which the subsequent .processes of' evolution along the ascending are carry up. refine and glorify nntll they become perfect instru­ments of the informing aplrit. Nevertheless, evolution and Involution always coexist, neither process being entirely excluded where the other to active; but In thedeseendlog arc of movement involution greatly pre­dominates, white In the ascending evolution is the most active process. It will hence beseen that an entity which participates in around of development Ihrongft the circuit of___ , _____ , chain, mast begin in a veryethereal state, and that St can gather to It­self but a faintly concrete garment white associated With the first around world In the descending arc. Ita degree of corporeity would increase, however. In its descent trom world to world until it arrived at the planet earth. Arriving at Mercury on the ascend­ing are. It begins an evolutionary process by which the subjective complexities originally resident ln the Ego become objectively un­folded ln the organism; and a residuum of this accreted substance persists aa a perma­nent vehicle of the Ego.

Having completed the first round in along series of careers through matter, aud having returned to the spiritual pole of the planeta­ry chain, tbe Ego rests for a long period ere it embarks on the tremendous Journey of the second round. Each round to predominant­ly devoted to the development of one of the seven principles ln mao. The great circuits or rounds so nearly return lute themselves that they form a spiral course of progress, which may bs compared to the thread of a screw, each round conducting to is higher plane than the preceding, The sprihg sea-

H on. Membraces all' the planets in our solar system. In fact, It Includes but three which are at press at accessible to observation, namely, Mara, Earth and Mercury. The (fiber fourconnected with our chain are todetbereal to be visible to na. It Is a curious confirmatory circumstance that T. L. Harris has beheld clalrvoyantJy several aroma! planets con­nected with onr system; and he has described these together with their inhabitants with eooelderable minuteness.

The manner ln which the members of onr planetary chain are distributed, that they may serve as appropriate theaters for the cir­cuit of evolutionary processes, la a matter of peculiar Interest and great Importance. We will assume that the subjective side of nature !l* the eplritaal pole—th if dynamic domain or :inltlal point from which development pro­ceeds; and farther, that the objective side of nature is the material pole—the point where the maximam condensation of physical sub­stance has been effected. Now draw an Im

................. i&aginary circle from the spiritual pole, by wav of the material pole, back to the spirit­ual pole. The first half of this circle.fa the descending arc; the second half U tbe ascend­ing arc. Our chain of worlds Is placed In this circle In such a manner that two atomal worlds begin the series from tbe spiritual

ile In the descending are, the visible world are occupies the third place, and onr earth

occupies the fourth place a t the material pole, Mercury comes next, and two aroma! worlds Complete tbe series In the ascending aro ofTbe circuit {Tenns and Jupiter belong to another planetary chain). Our earth, therefore, occupies the position of equilibri­um, where, ths proceedoo of involution-and evolution are balanced: hence, It la the world on which the straggle between rood and evil most be gTeateet, and where the human Egos most paas tbe final teste that will decide the quest Ion of their fitness or unfitness for tbe exalted state of Nirvana. The above classifi­cation has no reference to Ute physical posi­tion of tbe planet* ln the solar system, nor to their relative age or denaltle* ae recorded by modern astroaomera, *

It ft Important hero that we bear in mind tbe distinction between involution and evolu­tion. Involution Is a procedure trom an ac­tive to a potential state; evolution tea pro­cedure from a potential to an active state.

the third round the bPdy had toereared In size and become more tto n fa ty y compact

round. Two more root-races must bt evolved to complete the fourth round on this planet. The unbybridized Chinaman of the Interior of China is a member of the seventh sub-race of the fourth root-race; the Australian to a degraded survival of the third root-raw; and the Malayan 1b a hyb enth sub-races of the third and fourth root- racee. ,

The teachers of tbe occult doctrine ln India assert that the periods of the great root-races are divided from each other by great conval- hIodb of nature, which revolutionize the sur­face features of the globe. The seats of hu­man habitation which were principally occu­pied by the third and fourth races, now tie beneath the sea. Each race is invaded ln Its own proper home and cut off at Its proper time, some survivors remaining lu outlying provinces, which invariably exhibit a ten­dency to decay and soon relapse Into barbar­ism. The center of civilization of the fourth race was the lost Atlantis, of which the great Island spoken of by Hato was the last rem­nant. in the beginning of the Miocene age (Oildill*- tertiary) the hlgheet civilization of tbfe fourth race culminated, and! the great continent exhibited the first symptoms of slaking. Mne thousand yean befbre Plato's |me the last remnant went down with a frasb. “Lemurla” was an earlier continent

that stretched out over the Indian OCeaa. and was the botne of the third race, which-, here, achieved a great civilization. The aflorigl- neo of Australia are the last degenerate sur­vivors of this once noble race. Before the .. ini period a sub-race of the fourth roop race,attained a great national career on the borders of the Arctle Ocean, in Siberia. That region then,euJoyed a congenial climate.

Aa before stated, the Aryan (Caneastan) be­longs to the fifth root-race—the last race de­veloped thus far In the fourth round. The populations of India were an amalgamation of several sub-races belonging to ibis fifth root-race: and they reached their . in what to us Is pre historic -time, was a distinct sab-race of the Aryan item, and reached her glory long before the rise of that more modern Egypt whleh Bnnsen and other archaeologists have explored. The Copts Were bnt a hybrid remnant of this once noble sub-race. Email sub races ot this same Ary­an stock rose to great nationalities ln Greece and Itedy before Atlantis went down. The Ctialdeee reached the apex of their glory ante­cedent to what we call the Age of Bronze. Tbe last and seventh sab-race of tbe Aryan stem to tbe Anglo-Saxon, the “ white con- querorfi,” dominant In material Intelligence; the rare that subordinates spirituality to tbe pursuits which minister to material gain,

The occult doctrine emphasizes the Import­ance of developipg spiritual capacity, frt upon this tarns the question whether the Ego shall become a permanent and creative force in the universe, or cease to live alto­gether. It to not sufficient that we attain to goodness and become pious; we most reach ths high altitudes of intelligence, deal with the original eonrees of truth, assimilate knowledge at the fountain head, and become competent to move on the higher levels of existence.- Vice and virlae may determine our condition fov happiness or misery, but they alone do not develop the required higher attributes which are essential to the persist­ence of the Ego. The occult doctrine eays:

*' To be immortal in good one must identi­fy one's eetf with God; to be immortal In evil, with Baton.

the Ego then resides, most assimilate Itself with the sixth principle, spirituality, or give up the business of existence altogether.

The place of rreponriblllty is the earth, where the Ego to clothed with a pbyirlca! body, and placed In equilibrium between the passions of senve and the moral nature. The earth, too, to the plane where the individual reape the major penalties of a misspent former career, for the " Karma ” of that former ca­reer Inevitably impels tbe Ego to a parent­age aud strata of society for the next career, that will compel him to balance accounts. Those spirits that rethrn to manifest throngh ordinary mediumshlp, are for tbe most part from Kama loca, while a considerable por­tion of the physical phenomena to assumed to be produced by the ghost* or astral shells which the Egos have deserted. The propor­tion of time spent lu Devachan compared to tho time spent in re-incarnated bodies, is more than ten to one. After tbe seventh round haa been completed, the Ego will have achieved its full liberty,and will not be con­strained thereafter to take any more bodies of flesh. If the individual should again be­come incarnated in physical form, it would be hfa own free act, that he might bestow kindly offices upon' a struggling people, or remove some oppressive dynasty, and he would then be free to ehooee hto Own parent­age and drenmitancea of birth. A few of these planetary eon to. who have passed their evolutionary probation to sene remote plan­etary chain, are distributed among tbe exist­ing races on earth, to act a* a leaven ln tbe social mass. The great prophets, religious fonndera and reformers, have usually been of this class.

When the. human Ego shall finally have traversed the whole evolutionary scheme, and graduates in ths completion of tbe < enth round through the circuit of the pi star? chain, he will then sum up all the liw he has lived, evoke from memory ail the rV ords be has made which are worth preserv­ing,- and cement all into one glorious com­bi nation; and this string of hlaalng gems, thta vast interrelated series of livee will be So penetrated by the pre-existent Ego, that a coherence tnd unity will be seen to connect the mnlttiude of careers in oae unb

htoear ear* will be lost and

tton return to him of ali the iiv< pertonees throngh whleh he has pissed since hto Ego launched forth from the subjective side or nature, to build ita bouse wblcn shall be eternal in the heavens. This supreme summing uprof tbe individuality la th* re­ward which nature reserves for those who make tbe perilous journey through matter la this long series of physical careers, and who survive -the testing ordeal in the middle of the fifth round. This 1* tbe Resurrection, and In this resurrection be will receive a name which shall fitly represent hi* order of genlnaand quality of Intelligence, and whleh shall dlstingutoh him from .all hla fellow ,Egoe. The school days are then eopcioded, |and the exalted activities ot eternity open upon tbe view. The Individuality is now qnaHfied to take hto proper place In Nirvana, aud fulfill bis ultimate fqoeUoo in the uni­verse. ) .

There are many features of tbe esoteric doctrine which tbe limits of this article will not permit me to notice—features which ro- late to the personal life and labors of Buddha, \ tbe epochs In which planetary angels become Incarnated on earth as religious and philo­sophical teachers, tte alternate period* of ac­tivity and repose of the life-ware that sweeps throngh a planetary chain; and finally of the great cosmic night in the far distant future, towards wfajch the whole planetary structure to slowly tending—a night which will reach Into a longer eternity then that which the visible cosmos bas bridged, era another pby»- leal universe will be evicted.

WITCHES AND MEDIUMS.*

A Historical ParattoTby Dr. Carl dn Prel.

Phenomena. which, considered separately, are beyond oar comprehension, gala Jo intel- Uglbleness when viewed aa a wools. as ttwlr connection with kindred phenomena Jh thus reeogolzed, and they become separated from accidental accretions, which were formerly looked upon os being essential to them. Thus the existence of witches In the Middle Ages cannot be considered In an objective manner, because It cannot be separated from the In­cidental religions background, by which at that period erery opinion was governed. The Middle Ages saw In witches the eon- ■dons abuse of mystical powers; If a paral­lel between them and mediums con however

? proved to exist, we shall be able to obtain better understanding of the former, bo-

Cause In the case of mediums, the coloring of eacrileglon. and for the moat part the volun­tary use of mystical powers, are done away with. Neither the white magic of the aaints, nor the black magic of sorcerers and witches, can be rightly estimated till they are sepa­rated from the ruling religions systems; and It Is an equally falsa conclusion go draw at the present day, to say that mediums are noli lng bat impostors and jugglers, because the matter Is looked at from the atandpolnt of materialists, who hold that nothing of a mystical nature is possible.. ,

If we had a knowledge of all the forces In­herent in man, he could no longer be the greatest of all riddles to us, which now he certainly Is, That these unkuown forces €ooi6 luto blay in the ewe of witches and mediums scarcely auyono wl)ll deny who has read a sufficient number of accounts ol uiaia of witches, agd'btmv present at a sncceaslmi of spiritualistic ifMiees. I. at least, have

„ hitherto met with nb one. who after ioqnlr- \ lug thoroughly into the subject, has denied

the genuineness of the phenomena In notn departments; on the other side, I have never yet met with an enlightened skeptic, who, on iQQUlry, has not confessed that ho ha* made no study ol-'tlnrsnhject In either direction; 1 have found a condemnatory jndgruent always glveiyonly from the sTamlpoint of those clev­er wjtEhta who boast of their sound common

8<?ir wo no'lon'ger look for the cause of witch­craft among devils aud evil epirite, human nature must Itself be regarded as the source of mystic faculties. It must, however, In this case, be acknowledged that this scarce Is the starling point for both black and white magic. In the Middle Ages magic was shared between God and the devil, ns two distinct sources whence mystic forces proceeded, but It might he proved by drawing a Very in­structive parallel that the source of white and black magic -doe* not differ, but is In both cases to be found In human nature; the only difference h In the direction which the mystic faculties take, md the use which is made of them. Therefore, I will neither ex­a lt the salnlsvpor abase the witches, nor yet

fore the fact was not recognized that roystl- powora of themselves had nothing whatever to do with be Lief or unbelief. Thus a falaa value waa^glven to an Incidental plrcum- stance. Our modern physiologists are gnllty of the same error, only they attribute these powers not to religious but to physiological conditions, that is, the morbid or diseased state of the Individuals generally affected. The logic of these savants as a rule U aa fol­lows; phenomena are frequently noticed among mad persons, which coincide with those related of the so-called possessed, there­fore all each poeseeaed persons were nothing more than Innatlca; when a person dreams, be haa visions, therefore every one who has visions Is n dreamer; hysterical persona often see during their periods of hallucination di­vine or demoniacal manifestations, therefore every mystical Influence or Impreerton Is due to hysteria; cataleptic subjects lie motion­less and without sensation, like ecstatics, and so ecstatic^ are nothing but persons In a cataleptic state. 4c.. 4c,

Here I only intend lo draw tbe parallel be­tween witches and mediums, though It will be unavoidable to bring likewise Into conald- eration H>mnambultsts,’tho historical fore- Tanners of mediums or possessed persons, in whom modern opinion, If It thought H worth while to lake account of such things at all, would sometimes recognise somnambulists, sometimes mediums.

Now the poeMwwioa of real myotic faculties la common to alt in this category. Powers which are Inherent In human nature may be ooosdooa or nn conscious, and tbe use of them may be either voluntary or Involuntary. Therefore there areaollveand passive mye* tlcw, but the mystical powers, which as yet have scarcely begun lo be the object of sci­entific inquiry, are on this neeouni. nswrnie. still very far from belDg voluntarily made use of, and the Hindoo adepts are almost the only Individuals who have systematically striven after their development. If we dis­tribute the classes we \ ave named according to their charactersJcs, we find commious- neea and wilt have no plice among poee««sed persons. In the ease of witches the activa power l« relatively the greatest, while som­nambulists and mediums occupy a place be­tween the two.

The mistake which men In the Middle Ages fell Into was that of attributing the state of onnipM* passivity only^o those called pos­sessed; while on the other hand, somnambu-

DY WM. B, UABT.

It ban been a practice with me to make a pretty free nee of whatever J o u r n a l s come'to land In sending them a* complimentary re­

nders to relatives or other friends, desiring thhi. If them is anything good In them, to have my friends participate with me In the benefit. In this way 1 have got up quite a correspondence, a curious feature of which Is (hat I have several limes been called open to defend Spiritualism as though I were la any way resstposlble for it.

Let me hive elate my position: I profess lo bo an UDprfjudleod, Impartial, bnt Interested looker-on; too Interested, Indeed, to allow myself to be Imposed upon if I can help It; a sort of representative, it may be, of that mass of Inertia hanging on to tbe outskirts of Spiritualism; too intelligent to doubt, and too perverse to believe short of some such demonstration sold to have been vouchsafed to that apostolic level headed skeptic we read of. Allow me to fnrther say by way of preface, that, with my faculties all alive and strained to their utmost tension, I have watched Ihls thing called Spiritualism, for, *ay, the last twenty years of my life: and in view of tho evidence of human testimony, I have come deliberately and unchangeably, I think, to the conclusion that the leading phenomena of Spirt tuallsm, barring the mvs- tery, are as well atlwted and prosed, as are the leading facts of history. If I won Id be honest with myself I cannot avoid this avow­al. Yet, strange and anomalous a* It may deem and really H (his conviction is hot a living principle within me. It bears no fruit. Ill* no fault of mine, how«-ver, only so far ns I may have neglected lo place myself ia com- mnnfralion with medlnmistlc sources of en­lightenment. I have outgrown, IniL happy to be able to say, my old prejudice. I no longer feel hostile to this new gospel;la fact I some- limes defend It, but" with this disadvantage, that I cannot apeak with that authority, and, us nqr good Methodist brethren say, "unction," born of knowledge. I can argue only In viewof probabilities, of the confidence one ought to have In th a vercclty of our fel­low man. of human testimony, and nil that.

Fhave since the year commenced had oc- casiou-to prereut the case in this light in my correspondence with au old time friend, a member of the bar in another State, who has not been able to cast aside his prejudices as I have.

the present status and extent of this “super­stition.” Please give U a moment’s sober thought. It has sprung op incur day, uader our very eyes, and numbers, by tbe admission of its enemies, speaking within bound*, sayr 15.000.000 of adherents, more than half of whom are estimated to belong to tbe United States. And this, too, without imperial edicts or State coercion to give It prestige and Impetus.

Was there anything,ever known In history at all comparable with this modern craze, if craze It be? I And that Spiritualism baa been embraced and Is now held by nil classes la society; by rationalists; by Christians of every sect;by literary mew and scientist* of assured standing; by lawyers, doctors, clergy­men, judges, senators, not even excepting a former President of these United Plates, and crowned heads In Europe. And yet, you con “hardly understand, you say, “how a man of my Intelligence and character, can enjoy reading a paper devoted to Spiritu­alism." But, my good friend, do not infer from ail thli that I bare been captured, bag-

K, and baptized Into th Is mysticism myself.blng could ba more illogical on your part.

Watt a while till I have eald It ail. .This mat­ter of belie/ Is a wonderful "not to crack;” never much, If at all, under our Immediate control, aa yon are aware. Myself In com­mon with yourself and other* have been born and reared In an epoch of the world’a history, when the current teaching aud sentiment have been such as to discredit auy and ail miracles of modern date not only, but any­thing, In fact, of a supermundane pretension; hence, onr prepossessions are all opposed to this thing. Two thousand year* ago matters were different. The Jew, from whom wo have derived our religion was not handicapped as we are. ^The Pharisee or the Saducee had no difficulty lu accepting aa real the alleged miracles of Jesna. There existed In hih mind no antecedent Improbability against them. These people had become fariilllaTlxed, rrom youth up, and from generation to generation, with the Idea of supernatural intervention as a reality of pretty common occurrence J& tbe nation. Such event* were creditable in their judgment. The difficulty with the men of that day and nation was, not that a nota­ble mirac e had been wrought by the now teacher; this waa not tbe form of their unbe­lief; but by who^o authority was It wrought? Was It of God, or wa* it of Beelzebub? The valne wo* not in the thing Itself. It carried wlih It no authority unless God was the author. Tills was the dodge skepticism took in that day. Prolestantl-m in rejecting the prodigies of the chnrch of Rome, has saddled upon herself a* a logical sequence, the no- Ct-ewlly of repudiating marvels of whatever kind, and has thereby Initiated and fostered a general skepticism which now rejects all miracles, iui I *ald. of modern date, or all very marvelous'uiatitfiHluiloug of any kind, to ench extent that it la now almply imprw dble for most minds to believe the alatemenlsfound in spiritualistic literature of onr day with­out n positive personal experience of their reality. Still, notwithstanding all this la true, as I viewed It, the fact rerunim*, and I insist upon it. that there has been accumu­lated a body of evidence In behalf ol the hy­pothesis of extra mundane or Spiritual In­tercourse, such as lo create a violent pre­sumption in Ita favor; and ail I ask 1b to see it for myself. I have not gofao far yet Id my skepticlHmos to flout the evidence of my senses. If the Premier of England, William E. Gladstone, aud our own sainted Lincoln, should have felt an interest impel!lug them to investigate this thing, us I atn credibly Informed they have, then why should not I? And, with all due respect, permit me to ask, why should not you? It may be, my friend, you aro not prepared lo answer these ques­tions, and it. may be you would prefer not to answer them. How this Is I do not know, but I do know that tbe best of us are some­times taken at a disadvantage, when these nn- catmy dilemmas are thrust in onr face*. And I moreover know, or think I know, that U tho exact troth were told without circumlo­cution. divested of all disguises aa between men of Vhn same guild, it would read some­what in this wise:—(t)That prodigies,or any very extraordinary ovrut* of whatever kind, said to have occurred in recent times amoog enlightened people, especially If the wltuesa- ea Id the case are numerou* w it Anotca to ms, are wholly and absolutely Inadmissi­ble. (2) That remoteness lu time and place or extra mundane occurrences, with few wltneseee—the fewer the belter, within cer­tain very narrow, limit*, the majority of whom are minus learning and credit la the nation to which they belong, constitute tbe true criteria of credibility. In other words;

credibility to a miracle—always excepting tbe miracles of Ihd church—and even three, to have any value, rnuat carry an antiquity of a t least eighteen centu^e*. and be certified to by a body of wUneased-not to exceed half- a dozen, when all told. The five thonaand or mor* witnesses we read of being ruled -out through that refinement of criticism which refuse* to accept anonymous testimo­ny. This much for Spiritualism^

Pundtta Ramabsl was lately questioned as to the silen t of education among the wometi of. .India. ,S*>s said as an Illustration: M In

- the city of Prona. there are 100.000 people. P^tha '* 'here are fifty women who can read, and P - ■ * t is a tar Arable Instance." A wo­man la i> -mg able to read and write was Im­mediately supposed to be unseied. In good, clearly spoken English, Pundlta Ramabal appealed to the American women for their help and sympathy, at the same time express­ing thankfulness for what they had already done. Av ft converts l Brthrnlu widow, she could not thank them enough for the free­dom she now enjoyed.

Mrs, Jnfta Ward Howe, in an address be­fore the Harvard Collegiate Hi«tltute, Bridge- water. Mass., uttered these good words;

" The eztended field of action open before women to-day may have the effect of leading them away from the intenrer forms of affec­tion. While I.,welcome you to the broader Interpretation of right and of duty. I warn yon also to keep the shy. secret recesses of yonr heart for the most tender and beautiful things. And In whatever yon may undertake, never sacrifice quality for quantity, even when qnantlty pays, and quality does not,

1 The greatest danger In the competition of women with men for wage-work la, In my ▼lew, the- adoption by women of merely mer­cenary standard of value, which, though not Dnlrersal among men. Is common among them. Some of yon will Aarely encounter this dllfiealty, this temptation. The cheip, trashy novel will commsnd Its tens of thons- and*. while the chaste, thoughtful book will

roe fortunate If It sells by thousands. Com­pare the exterior circumstances of the two writers, and yoa may envy her wh> gets the most money for the poorest work. Compare the minds of the two, and yonr envy will

, change Its object.“ If the temotatlon to lower' oar Intellec­

tual standard Is to be restate!, not the leas should we resist appeals which. If compiled with, would lower bur tone of manners, and, consequently, of morals.'’

Four books written by the W. C. T. D. women are now being published by the Woman’s Temperance P a tc h in g Associa­tion. all of which are owned by white rib- boners. Bight periodicals and millions and millions of pages of temperance literature are published yearly by the association,*!}loh has lately declared a dividend of four per cent, on Its capital of $50,000.

Lady Anne Blnnt, the grand daughter of Byron, 1* said to be one of the cleverest wo­men in England. 3he Is an author, a ramt- elao, a p alii ter, a student In Oriental poli­tics, a scholar able to write to her Ceylon friends In their, own language, the capable

* manager of her beautiful borne. Crabbpt Park, and the teacher of her only daughter. She h » written one of the best books ever pub­lished on the Bedonlns. She spent, with her husband, several months with the Arabs In tent-Ufe on the desert,

E III sbetb Cady Stanton of Tenafly, N .J„ is in correspondence with a number of <ifs- tingnUhed women Intbl* country tad abroad, for the purpose of organizing a committee from the namber, to revise that ribrtion of the Bible relating to women.

to woman’s position and influence In the world of to-day. At a lataflscture he said:

“ If women do not protect themselves, they never will be protected, Tim protected class is an enslaved and plundered class. ‘ Protec­tion * does riot protect. Every das* mast be prepared to flght Us owq battle; We are now oirtheeveof another reform it loo— a moral reformation, in contrast to the religious re­formation of the sliteelHh century, It can hardly be described ns a clerical movement. Itis rather a movemeht of the laity, many of whom are dlsgasted with the flnleit notion* of the clergy. The trade In women and girls hoe taken on large proportions, while prnpo- sltions to license vice and charter contagions disease, societies are pushed wllh an assur­ance and hardihood that astound the moral MUM. The legislatures are gravely asked to approve the foulest ehsme. Shop windows are now a disgrace to civilization. Women, who form the majority and represent the best moral sentiment, are denied the ballot, while the vilest wretch may taken part In shaping the public policy. Women may be taze I and assessed, but they have no voice In deciding the method of taxation."

A new Industrial School has lately been started In New York, which bid* fair to be very successful, "The Training School for Servants Is on the same general plan ss Ihe Training School for Names. .Classes nnrier competent teachers are held In what they term 'domestic sciences,' Including sewing, cooking, housework, household economy and the like. The ftttanrtance ta targe* Clauses In these subjects are forming composed en­tirely of public school teachers, Tire charges are one dollar and one dollar and fifty cents for Instruction la either of the cooking coursea of twelve or twenty leasone, while three dollars Is*charged for Instruction In sewing or In the drawing or clay modeling classes. 1 The superintendent of the various classes thas explained the present condition of the school’s work:

" 'F o n r classes are received In cooking, where the aim Is to give ae thorough a knowl­edge of cookery as thlrty-elx graded lessons may afford. These classes are composed of girls and young women who either attend the public school* or are engaged during the day in stores, and so arc able to attend only our evening classes. In tpe training school for eervaota after a three months’ training it la hoped not only to gradaate a c!ase|of e file lent servants but to eend oat young wo­men who have received end who shall give an Impression of the true dignity of labor,’ ”

therefore, as a matter of self-justice anffcon- 1 K° WKyJghtle they gothelra; we could “not

should these erroneous and pernicious views be made any part of Spiritualism. Not with

HI feeling, but simply to keep

walk together, nor ------ le

n what seems the right way. and therefore the safe way for os all. Is this ground taken. Five minutes or so were occupied In this manner when I turned to fither topics noil bad good hearing for the hour, leaving at the opening of a conference.

Thus much of a week at Vlcksburgh. What the two coming weeks may bring forth Is yet to b# fujun* Tno mooting l* too lonjc# With a good managing commiU-e and a call far a spiritualist camp meeting for two or three weeks, Its success may be enlarged, A Me­dium’* Protective Union was organized to help true mediums, but not to enconrage frauds, a* true mediums are quite weG used, and have good friends In these days, I see no great need of this Union, but it will shew Its own use. -—" 0 .

Michigan Camp Meetings.Tb lb# Editor of Uw tUUda-PbUomiCilesf Joam nJ;

Ou Friday. Ang. 20th. I loft home for Lake City, a hundred and twenty-five miles north of Grand Rapid*, a new town, and theconnty seal of a new conntv (Missaukee), ft Is reached by a branch railroad from Cadillac twenty miles long, and lies on the verge of a beautiful lake, A ten days’ camp meeting on the fair grounds, wlthftbe primeval forest stretching away for miles on two s!de*^>pen- ed on Sunday amidst a pouring rain which tasted three day*. In the middle of the week came the absorbing excitement of a rofirder case, and the next Sunday rain again, ail conspiring to make the audiences small. But each day came In wagon loadsof earnest peo­ple from their pioneer homes, anxtons to hear and see nud learn. Mrs. Cartwright, of this city, left her medical practice Tor a week or two. for rest and change, and gave much help by her clairvoyant tests of spirit presence. 1 was obliged to talk a good deal. Mr. Charles Lamb and Mr.’McNltt put In their good words, and, on the whole It was a uwfnl pioneer gatherltig and a help toopen the way for some future work In that region.

Coming back to Cadillac, I spoke an even­ing to a g>oTaudience gathered by theef- forts of Mr. Dandrldge of that flue town.

Vicksburgh was the next camp, 150 miles soulh hy rail, and was reached In the even­ing. On the pleasant grounds in the grove were some forty tents, a few plain cottages.a good dining hall, with plain dodging, a hall for any needed ns-, an out-door platform and seats, and some 150 to fiOQ people its eamp-trs aod writing mediums and epeakers. 0. P, Kellogg acted as chairman, but left the next week, and Henry B. Allen ha 1 Ihe. main man­agement. Mr. Allen seem* to have tried faith­fully to do the best, but It was a mistake to have no committees to coasalt and share duty and responsibility, and avoid some mistaken which any one person (s apt to make. Some mediums who had promised to come did nop keep their word, and In some of these cases it waa well for the meeting that they did not. For months past Mr. Allen, who Is known as "the boy medium,” but is now a middle aged man, has Jed a sober life, as Urnse who know aty.and this is snrely to hla 6redlt. I also saw Charles Watkins, the alate-writlng medium, and noticed a marked Improvement In hla as­pect and manner. He too has. as he tells me, given op all stimulants for name two years, and hla appearance goes far lb confirm hla word. We may all honor the self-conquest of these two men. and hope that It may last so that their future may be n*efal aad honorable. The Vickabnrgh gathering was advertised as s medium’s camp meeting. While there whs some criticism I ehoald say thaLon the whole, the mediums present gsve fair satisfaction to the majority, and gr*a( enjoyment to the fa­vored hearts to whom came tests of especial value. An "Indian day”—a sort of go-as-you- please mingling of daoce.and whoop an I talk and odd gestures around a camp f i re , all pur­porting to be uoder Indian spirit guidance— was cQfioa* and not with ml value to i Spirit uallat of some experience, but a sore puzzloutsider*. Boring the week Mrev Pear*_Mr. Kellogg, Charles And ras aad others spoke, daily conferences and stances were held, and fair order prevailed, with many good people.

Mre. Mattie Hall came and took part In con­ferences. Sunday brought an audience of about 800..I spoke la the moraing and It waa announced that Mr. Andrus and probably Mre. Hall, would Oil the afternoon. I left the ptktform. and it eras soon manifest that a strong effort was making to invite Moses Hull to come. Mrs. Frax-r, the owner ofube grounds, and her daughter were opposed to this, aa w»r« many others, and the next morning Mr. Alien decided not to Invite him, and Mre. Hull left that day. The morning after I was asked to speak and did so for an hour, leaving directly (or the care at the close. In opening I said briefly thai I should not have coma onto the platform If Mre. Hull had remained to take part In tta exercises. Making no charge* or anggeetlooe against her or hie peraopaj bh&raeter or eondnet, I said that she add bar hnabaod had never made any retraellonof the “ social freedom" theorise of which he had be*a a leading ad­vocate, while she had b*ea hie eo-worker. . I believed la charity for the erring, in theory or practice, who abandon tbelr errors, and If they eoold. and would, plainly and from their baarte declare themselves against these the­orise, and have tbelr word and work In on

The Free-Thinker*’ Outlook.

Early fo this month tho Now York State Free Thinkers’ Association mot In a beauil ful epot near Saratoga Springs. There, uu Her a largo tent, tho Free-Thinkers compared notes, drew resolutions, made speeches, and put into use all the machinery for perpetuat­ing and propagating the few tenets to which they hold.

In the nature of things, their beliefs most be expressed in a serin of negations rather than assertions. In a carefully prepared and eloquent speech by Mr. L-K-Washburn, of the /wwttootor, entitled "The Coming Re­ligions Conflict,” that gentleman declared:

Hlf church property In to ba taxed; U tho employ- meat of chaplains in Cosgiw, Id State Legislatures and la all LasUtotkme supported by'public money is to bo dlscooUnned; If the use of the Bible Is to bo prohibited la the public ecbools; If tbe appointment of Christian fasts and fsell fall by tho President o( tho United State*, or by liar onion of the various fi lotos. Is to cease; If tbe iodldAl oath now administered In our court*, la to bo abolished; It all law* enforcing th* obeimuMO of Sunday ** a Christian Sabbath, are to be repealed; If tbeappro- pdattoa of public funds for educational or charitable lustUatloos ot a MCtarlan character, is to be stopped; —Liberal* have tbe work to do. These are tbe 1 .de­mands of Liberal Ism.* and they coosUtOte the plat­form of poillloil 'action tor tbe Liberal* throughout the Nation.”

Hers is seen the work of Iconocteam, not of reconstruction, and the difference between the two ta the difference between the Free Thinker and the Spiritualist/

The work of‘the one to to hew down ob­structions, to uproot etumpe and tunnel mono tains; that of the other to rear tbe roof-tree, to shelter and guard the sentiment* and affections, and render human relation­ship sacred and permanent. Tbe pioneer must clear the ground before he bnllde hla boose, bat if he continues clearing and does not sow the seed where be has ploughed, how shall posterity be fed? Tbe moral and tho affections! eentlmente look to the future for their g rati flection. They demand more than shelter, food, clothing and freedom of action. The soul has Ha needs as well aa the body; It cannot be pinched, starred and thwarted without revenging Itself In finding an outlet somewhere.

We can build a stately mansion of granite, and pave the spacious domain round about with the same Inflexible material. But ft le a cold place In whleh to dwell, and the nat­ural emotions ot the heart will there find no opportunity for growth. They need to etrlke root in the native roll of spiritual force In order to draw from It that mysterious essence we call life. Let os suppose that through some narrow, crevice between tbe granite blocks, a little plant like " Ptcclola, tbe prison-flower," pashes up Into the air and sunshine. That strange force a t work In darkness and silence we 4o not understand, bat we see Its results in tiny leaflets and a stalk. I t Is a lo w in g thing, It peastrates the almost imperceptible rift, and llttls by little separates the blocks till It has won ■pace enough to grow and Blossom and fruc­tify. Will not this living plant appeal to the heart more surely than all the quarries of tbe world? However carved and polished and set one upon another with scientific ac­curacy tbe granite bloeka may be, tt Is the flower that attracts attention and engages the heart. And one Imprisoned for n in ths would give mote for the sight of that frail plant, than for all the cold, bard granite, or even the crystallized diamonds of the world.

8o true It 1* that one little token of that life surging through nature, of that subtle, universal spirit that palpitates from center

one whisper of love from ,1* worth more-than the

a negation* of all the age*. Man longs and undying companion-

complete human being. He is not content to tdruply exist In his palace of stone.

Love Is a real thing, and intuition assures as that it I* eternal. More than that, It* continued existence after Its earthly dwelt lug-place has been destroyed, has bean prov­en. And this not onee or a dozen times, but the proof ha* beau cumulative durlug months, years and decades.

We have n living religion, Free-Thlaklng friends; living, growing, spreading, even more rapidly than JU believers understand! I t has its origin la the great spiritual depth* of eternity; Ha vital lire la feeding our own lives hour by hour; and tt* blossoms are be­ginning to flll the world with fragrance and beauty never before known. Come oat of yonr mansions of Ice to dwell with us lo the aupehlne. Throw away your prejudices und Investigate fairly and candidly. Take noth­ing but perfect proof, but be ready to ac knowledge that when It comes. Admit that there are laws which yoa do not understand,

UawJ which you may not even know are in existence. What wo all need Is candor and teachable minds. One person may have In­terior senses more acutely,penetrative ot the exterior organs than another. The blind man ought not tosay there la no light. There are degrees of Interior or subjective percep­tion of regions* of life too flue for the ordina­ry senses, therefore to the ordinary senses they do not exist. Bat, may there not'bo a telescopic vision of that snporior world and of Its Inhabitants?

If hatnan testimony be worth anything, it Is overwhelming on this point. There la nothing better proven, and he is not wise who refuses obsolete proof on a subject of such vital Interest.

Owing to the realism of tbe Free-thinker, his outlook Is as narrow aa that of the relig­ionist whom he derides. Bigotry Is not, nec­essarily found In orthodoxy only; it can be diagnosed wherever there la Intolerance In regard to tbe rellglona sentiment, however crude that may be. The Free-thinker should not Ignore the truth that that religious senti­ment is natural and well nigh universal. Tbe real question Is, shall we have the religion of Ptolemy or that of Copernloas? Shall we be content with no religion, or shall we uni­fy the essence of all religions? Shall we look at the phenomena of the material uni­verse alone, or shall we strive to understand a little of their underlying cause? Shall we be content to amuse ourselves with shadows. Anally, while the real substance eludes our grasp, eloaively veiling itself In ten-thousand form^-nnder whose interplay and correlation the trae philosopher trill seek the unchange­able and eternal?--

Samuel B. Nichols. “

In the second hoar of the fourteenth day of September, Samuel fi. Nichols left hla mortal body and In the company of a host ot angel friends entered the Spirit-world. When the clock In tho neighbor!ng tower struck the third half-hoar past midnight, It was the signal for, hla spirit attendants to bear him away to that land toward which he had1 look­ed with fond anticipation and the assured confidence that comes of personal knowledge.

On tbe 10th inst, Bro. Nichols wrote us a tetter, which reached us at Petoakey on the 13th; It was a breezy note, cbxracterlatle of the man, and closed with a line to the effect that he had a severe cold. Oq tbe heel* of this letter, which breathed so much of the life hereteQd now, came a message, wired by a etannob mutual friend—Judge Dailey, an­nouncing that our faithful co-worker had left this world. With his tetter still fresh before ito, the shock wae almost as groat as though he had been stricken down at our side. It Is hard to realize that this euergetle, neve r-qu Jet than has finished bfs earthly' career. We iahall attempt no biography of our friend, leaving that for some one who can command the data necessary, but only offer a tribute of affection and respect.

We can recall no layman who has left bis Individual Impress upon the Spiritualist movement so deep nod sharply marked as has 8. B. Nichols. He was » man ot wqpdor- ful Intuitive power and deep convictions. Hla comprehension of tbe vital Issues In afcy undertaking hr controversy was lightning- like. Hit unselfish devotion to Spiritualism and tbs uhtjrtng energy with which he pros­ecuted bis purposes tor Its advancement were often misunderstood, end hla motives traduc­ed by those who will yet learn to honor his memory. His perception of troth was keen

d his manner of Imparting It Incisive. His ipetuona energy In the accomplishment of e task In hand often blinded him to eo> ta r t matters needlng^conslderatloffy and

bis contempt for toot and diplomacy made his labor Infinitely more severe and wearing, sometimes temporally defeating the con­summation of an 1 mportant object, Hla per­ceptive faculty dominated the reflective. When he perceived the need of specific action, j l be never stopped to consider Whether he Mas equal to Its accomplishment, or how best to

the eomblnrttoiis for its final success, but Immediately grappled the work. His tenacity was tremendous, and If defeated fof the time by some mistake of bis own or too great opposition from others, he never for a moment wavered in hla purpose or doubted final saoeees. Had he been a soldier, no task assigned him would have been thought too baaardou*. no feat Impossible. He would hate stormed a fort single-banded; and hare dons It. too, not with a feeling that In the Una of duty he was obeying hla superior andmarching to certain death, buLwlth the fixed Intention and hope of oceanpUahiog hie

Jeete he atrlvea for, cordially disliked by those whoso views he sharply antagonizes, aa well as by some whose an worthy scheme* he brashes away. Brother Nichols was no ex caption. No man can make his dent In any groat activity without friction. When It la said of a man, "he had not au enemy," It la.

as a rule, equivalent tosaylng, "he wae never identified with any great undertaking, never interested in public matters, not a man of marked character.'’.

Although Brother Nichols waa neither an author nor a lecturer, yet he was a teacher, an inspirer of others, end a promoter of spir­itual growth and activity. The able reports which he furnished the J o u r n a l for eight years, enlivened aa they were with hie own views and experiences, together with hla ac tlve work iu Brooklyn and at Lake Pleasant camp, brought him before a largo oonstltn enoy extending the world over. Letters ot thanks for his contributions to the^OUBNAL have come to ua from England, India, Rue- sla and Australia. The value of his oqntrl- butlons Is too well known in America to n mention. ^ In tho long and sometimes doubt-'' fal contest Which tbe J o u r n a l has prosecut­ed to 'm o r io n s victory* 8, B, Nichols was one of its strongest supporters and moat ac­tive co-workers, He did not always agree with na, and hla opinions and methods were at times the sabjoctcf sharp criticism and opposition, privately, on our part. Bnt nev­er for a moment waa confidence or respect on either elde shaken. We always knew there was never an Instant when he would not bare undergone any honorable sacrifice to advance tbe interests of Spiritualism, or assist us personally. Hla was a nobio, self- reliant nature. Hla hospitality waa unbound­ed. hla generosity too great for hla own com­fort sometimes. He had no toleration for mean acts; but when once satisfied of tbe genuine repentance of a wrong-doer hla sup­port sad encouragement was always prompt­ly given.

Mr. Nichols was a deeply religious man, with an ever-abiding faith in God. He felt that every sonl could commons with the In­finite One. He had glimpses and vision* of the world beyond, and no fear of death ever crossed his mind, apparently. To him, tbe next life was aa real as this. Iu the study of spirit phenomena, he never allowed it to doll his spirituality, as Is too often tho case. He looked upon phenomena aa of Inestimable value In their proper place, but never forgot that that place was In the foundation, and not In the superstructure. With hla esteemed friend Dr. Eugene Crowell he regarded Spir­itualism and primitive Christianity a* Iden­tical, and he was a Christian, aa he under­stood The primitive meaning of the word. It has been our good fortune to gain an inside view of many happy homes, among them that of Brother Nichols. Nowhere In all onr trav­els do we know of a sweeter, more restful place. Brother Nlchola waa especially blest In hla domestic relations. His first wife Is Bald to have been an admirable woman and au excellent-medium. She passed to spirit life many years ago, ieariug two smallehll- dren, a son and daughter. With raro'good fortune, Ur. Nichols married for his second wife* woman of superior Intellectual and spiritual worth, one who-proved a mother to bis motherless children, a loving companion and wise counsellor for him. No ono can know Mrs. Nichols and foil to be attracted to her; and In this her time ofrfibre affliction the deepest sympathy of the J o u r n a l ’s read­ers will be given to her, and to the eon and daughter who have grown to maturity under her loving charge.

Brother Nichols will be missed at the meet­ings, In the public work of Spiritualism and in the colnmns of tbe J ournal. No history of modern American Spiritualism wlU be

ipto.te tb it falls to record hla work. HI* toil on earth, in mortal form, is done. Ho wrought long and well, and leaves behind de­voted friend* and an honorable record. To him death was no grim monster to be shunned with horror, bnt rather

The Woman’s Bible-

We are glad to learn that prominent worn, on are Inaugurating a movement whereby another revised Bible will be added to the list of those already existing and exerting ,a potent Influence in tho wurld generally. It le set forth that a number of English and American women are now in eorreepoudence for the purpose of organlxtng a committee to revloo the Scripturoe, and to bring within tbe smallest compose'all the texts that refer to the status of women andcr the Jewish and Christian dispensations. To this end tho committee will stndj the Old and New Test aments, both in the original and transla­tions, sad sirs short, concise commentaries on chapters In their regalsr order. Eliza­beth Cady Staplon Is interesting herself In tbe work on this elde or the water, and In writing on the subject she shows coualder- able feeling.

“ No revising committee,” she says, “ of learned men have up yet prepared an expur­gated edition of the ^Lbi^, eliminating all

:e* invidious to woman, bnt on thecon- trs>y all the obscene records of her status in a barbarous age are published and republish ed, bound up in the sacred volumes, and scat­tered the world ovor, spreading their baleful influence oyer every dviitxed nation. Every clrllizet^datloa has now He representative close of educated women, and tb§ time has fully come for them to revise the Scriptures, that men olatm to be of divine authority, and decide for themselves whether they/will ac­cept a ‘thus salth the Lord' that makes woman the author of sin, marriage a condi­tion of slavery, maternity a curse, sex a badge of degradation everywhere, even In the burnt offerings of the Jewish rilaal.”

This movement on the part of prominent women, augurs well, and shows conclusively that the reverence they have for the Bible Is exceedingly limited. In view of the numer­ous absurdities connected therewith, touch­ing those living lu tbe present eS well as in the post. Frances Lord, in tho Index, takes a brood and Intelligent view of thB subject, and asserts that the committee of rovlsement shall determine Jnat wh*t tbe “ sacred book ” really does say about women, and see wheth­er a person can get any clear idea of what women are told to do, or are described os doing, and whether there la therein a mass of contradictions, or a consistent code of right and wrong, if a code therein,then the Inquiry would naturally arise. Do women actually obey It? or. Should they obey It? Bheeays: -

a unique position;T b « co m m itte e occupyk n o w th e ir r a b je d , an d _____ __they know furthermore what the Bible L

they know their pubtlo;----------- — — - jatlb* Bible I* and whitwomen mistakenly think It la. We think that U even woman who owvt a Bible would aet to work an! read It, In order to *m what la arid about faer- aelt In the racred pagan, a alarm of Indignation Would arise, not' again** the group of woman who are. retiring the Scriptures, but against everwd everybody who enslaves woman la the____name; and we believe that If tbta storm of indigo*- Uou la met at Ue height by tbe timely pqbUcaUou of lb* compacted ecboUrahlp, the ripe womanly and •octal wisdom, that tbe committee wtU bring togeth­er, la a moderate volume, this indignation and wis­dom together might produce a more startling w eal upheaval than any other force we could point to In tbe laboratory of mod era reform.

Mias Lord continues;“ Summoning tbe assistance of any and

every scholar and linguist, every anthropol­ogist and mystic, the committee wilt present tbe evidence upon which the selection known as tbe Bible was made. This focusing of ad­vanced and reoondSto scholarship, for the benefit of women anxloaa to face their Bible foe, Is sore to prove a most Important feature In the commlttoo’a work. The mere selec­tion and literal meaning of texts la of ooorse that part of tbe'work which Ison the plane of thought adopted by most readers. But It wonld be cruel indeed to destroy the Bible as It exists for them, without trying to connect them with tbe higher realm* of troth and knowledge.

“ Sometimes a single fact will yield all the explanation a given mind personally de­sires or can assimilate, We con Imagine some such mind.learning, for tbe first time, that the Codex Slnoltloua was discovered In Bt. Catharlne'e convent on Mount Sinai, in1814. was brought thence In 1869 by Tlsohen dorff, a Russian scholar, waa published lu 1B82, nod la supposed to date from the 4thcentury. Such a reader might say, * That la enough for mo. If you are going to tell me that tbe Bible waa not aii written down b the persons who are said to have written 1 It will not trouble me any more, Copied! do

iu toy? Why! If everybody kniwrthat, no- idy would believe In the Bible.’

. ” Another mind, on first learning what a Pali mpaest is, might exclaim,4 That is enough for me. If yon toll me that my sacred Bible waa ever so tar forgotten that people wonld take the parchment or papyrus It was writ­ten on, and write something else over it, I do not believe there Is any divine guidance tak­ing care^of the book a t all; and I shall not trouble'’myself about It any more.* On the other hand, divine guidance Is often consid­ered demonstrated by this very survival of perils by tbe pieoe of parchment- A third mind, too cultured to reason so crudely, might perhaps learn about the ‘ doubtfulf books or the Old and New Testaments and might say,4 What I baa there ever been .any qtxMtlon as to what the Bible consisted In?

It is amoaing to learn that in New York tbe three-cent coin is disclosed as a fraud on tbs churches. A newspaper correspondent chanced to see In a bank a deposit by a war­den of tbe previous Sunday’s collection mon­ey. The money was chieriy An sliver, and three-cent era were disproportionately numer­ous. That seemed curious, In view of the small coinage of that denomination as com­pared with cents,dimes and hair-dimes. “ It Is Invariably bo with this weekly deposit/* said the cashier. “ And I will tell you why,” remarked the church officer; “ I t Is because a three-cent piece le so nearly the color and size of a dime, and when one la dropped Into tbe contributionJ?fate It cannot be distin­guished from the foore valuable coin. I t la tbe commonest sort of a trick In congrega­tions, especially of tbe portions made up of strangers.

She could aot even lift her head, find. to add to her misery, after seven yeareof this helpless* ness she lost her eight. Thus she lived all this time, not having bad more than an hour of continuous sleep. Her body was terribly emaciated. Three years ago tho family came to that city, and Little has been aa object of pity to all who met her. Last May she was taken to the homo of a farmer, John Sadler at Stow, near by, where she’formed the ac­quaintance of R$v. William Wallace, pastor of the United Presbyterian church. AH med­ical eklll had proved useless, and country air did no good. The faith eure was mentioned to Lluie, bat she refused, but finally consent­ed to a test.

There has been of late years a decided fail tug off In the attendance upon tho country churches of New England, and a gentleman who has been trying to find oat the caase, writes at length on the subject. He b e l ie v e s that mnch of the responsibility of the de­crease tn religions worship can be attributed to the Inferior standard of the clerical pro* fession. A large majority of the sermons are below the Intellectual level of tbe people to whom they are preached, he says, and this preaching tends to* disrespect for religion and disregard for the church. H 1b especial­ly Injurious to the young, who grow op with­out reverence for the faith of tbe fathers. Many young, and some mature men In tho pulpit are ao fond of their own speculations and of preaching their own notion about re­ligious things, that they are unsettling In­stead of grounding firmly the faith of their young heroes.

Dr Buchanan't “Spiritual Barbecue,"

BT WM. B U r m COLEMAN.

The letter of Mr. Wm. I. Birown. In tbeJ ournal of Ang, 28. In my judgment, does not furnish conclusive evidence of tbe exist­ence of the far-famed -real or supposititious -t-Koot Hooml. That Mr. Brown saw a human being claiming to be the Mahatma I have no doubt, bnt that tbe person seen was In verity that alleged nbfqnltoua and omnlsoient Indi­vidual I fall to sec any substantial proof of. How was It poastble for Mr, Brown to know that the person seen by him was Root Hooml. and not a confederate of Damodar and Madam Blavateky personating the Mahatma? We Hive very strong and In roy opinion con­vincing uridence that Root Hooml and- otheralleged mahatmas have been personated in various local It lee of India by persons en-

Sed for the purpose by Madam Blavateky;I have little doubt bnt that this is anoth­

er instance of tbe same kind. The overwhelm- lag. mass of evidence, probative of long continued fraud, both in the Impersonation of the mahatmas and In tbe mannfi&nte of tbe many letters purporting to emanate from them, which the agent of the Society for Psychical Research has published, in my Judg­ment has established the trn thheyond reason­able doubt. Tbe nnmerooa letters of Madam Blavateky which tbe Coulombs published proved the fraud beyond question to all Im­partial Unvestigatore; white the agent of the Research Society who went to India and made a personal searching investigation, not only establishes tbs genuineness of tbe Coulomb- Biavatekey letters, but adduces tn addition a vast quantity of evidence oftbe wholesale imposition which has been practiced for years br the Madam Damodar, and their as­sistants.

Tbs so-called materalizitlon of the letter left with Mr. Brown was doubtless a piece of Bast Indian jugglery;akin in character to tbe other joggling tricks which bare so largely constituted the stock tn trade of Hindoo Theosophy daring the past few years.

Tbe question of the existence of the ma­hatmas Is with me, as with the London' Psy­chical Research Society, purely a matter of evidence, I should be very glad to know that there wore human beings possessed of snehoeenlt powers aa are attributed to them. In this materlaliitle age, we need all the BTldeooe wa can obtain of tbe reality of spiritual potencies In man; and tf It eonld be established that there were In Tibet or else­where adepts possessing such marvelous power over material nature, capable of pro­jecting their astral pc spiritual bodies Into all parts of the earth, modern psychological sci­ence would be revolutionized, to the utter dls-’ eomflturd of prevalent materialistic spoon -

IN JtEMOBlAM.

The occasion for this communication Is a sad one for the writer, and the announce­ment of the death of Samnet B. Nichols will bring sorrow to tho hearts of thousands of persons. To write the life work of euch a man, will take more time than Is at my dis­posal, and more space than the Reliuio- Philosoptcjcal Journal eonld give in any one Issue. To satisfy the desire of many to know the Immediate cause cf his “ taking off,** It may be stated that Mr. Nichols died from pneumonia and kidney disease, super­induced by nervous, exhaustion. He had been ailing or gradually breaking down for sever­al years, and at one time, tho total loss of his eyesight was feared. At (be time of his death It was very seriously Impaired. He was at his place of business on tbe 10th Inst., and at 230 a. m. of the 14th he passed to spirit-life. I t waa my fortune to be present at the moment of his transition, and witness his sleeping out this life, Into the breaking morning of tbe heavenly life beyond. He had been restless bnt without pain, and saidhe wanted to go to sleep and not be disturb­ed to take medicine. I consented to aid him what I could, and placed my hand for a mo­ment over bis heart, which he pressed close­ly there, add t then made a few passes ovsr him, when he fell into a deep sleep, and t had only time to summon "bis wife and daugh­ter ere his life was slept away. They were the only ones of bis relatives who knew of his illness, so rapid was his decline. Hte fnneral services were held yesterday, the 3dth lust., a t his late residence, 357 Klatbusti Avenue. They were, by special request, short and simple, and the body was Interred In-lbo family plot at Greenwood Cemetery. He has left bis widow, Mrs. Fannie P. Nichols, a son and daughter, Harley B. and Agnes Blanche, both of whom have reached years of maturity, and show much of the fine talent and execu­tive ability ot their father.

Mr. Nichols was born at Burlington, Vt., September 31st, 1837, and became a Spiritu­alist about 1853. As he has related the In­cident to me, he was with a number of young persons, sitting at a table for raps, with no faith lu the possibility of spirit communica­tion In any form, wbsn audible raps were

Sven directly under his hands, and through is medium intelligent answers were made

to bis questions. Tbls was tbe first of bis investigation. A profound impression was made upon tho mind of young Nichols by this, to him, astounding phenomenon. From skepticism and ridicule, his condition at once changed to that of an earnest and devont seeker for knowledge of the inner mysteries of Ufe. He Instantly comprehended, that unless the phenomena of the rap Intelligent­ly made, eonld be otherwise explained, the greatest problem of life was eolred;and mnch as the opponents and enemiea of divine Spir­itualism may seek to belittle Its phases of communication, to ridicule and sneer at Itsraps and the tipping of tables, to tbe Intel llgent mind.—ridicule and sneers emanate from shallow intellects, and are powerlessexpressions of bigoted and narrow minds, who have nothing better to offer. Therefore, to Ur. Nichols, all phases of spirit phenome­na were-worthy mediums of the greatest ofto Mr. Nichols, all phases of spirit phenome-

____ ,_________H L __ £Lefficient In the highest degree, for a sacred purpose.

There was a strong religious element in tba nature of Mr. Nichols, which was of that character which made the spirit of his ac­tions like the refiner's fire, destructive, not only of dross, but of the amalgams which quasl-rellgtons natures bad brought into the movement. There was also in him a cease­less mental activity, which always impeUed him forward, and necessarily in tbe line otaction Indicated by his strong spiritual and religions nature. While be was highly Into ltlvs, bis Impulsiveness often provoked untotentlonal conflicts, which In later years were lessened by the cool and stately judgment of hla estimable wife, with whom he wisely o0tinseled on Important matters. Tbe exec­utive ability of Mr. Nichols was something marvelous. There have been other persons connected with the religions movements of onr times, of equal, and perhaps greater in­tellectual endowments* who have aever been heard of beyond the narrow limits of their immediate homes, who, bad they poswssed a tttbe of bis executive talent, wonld have blessed the world by a wider sphere of action, Hexlwaya conducted a wide correspondence, of both a pnblie and private character; or­ganised and managed societies and pub­lic meetings; procured talent for tbe rostrum and the means for private Investigations, and raised, or from hu own pocket supplied, the “ sinews of war” (money); and I may ven­ture to assert Ahat no oue man tn his line of action has accomplished more for the can's of modern Spiritualism than 8. B. Nichols, While be was charitable and kind to the taUen, be never com promised with eta, and I venture that there lives not a man or woman who can point to anlmpore act of his life, or remembers an nufibiste word from his Ups. He was ready to correct an error when con­vinced that ha had made one. and those who knew him beet, understood the motive by which be waa actuated in those matters where ludgmevto are In conflict. He waa la the highest degree sensitive, sad keenly felt and repelled any imputation against him, or Uve cause ao near to hla heart. When therefore, Mr. Nichols, at tbe age of 37. bo vineed of the basis in Cast upon

movement of tbs Spiritualists rested, ho set out to comprehend Its philosophy, and then expound and disseminate its truths.

As might have been expected, Mr. Nichols was destined to moot the reproaches and duf­fer from the qstraclsm of people whose secta­rian views ho antagonized. The rocks of New England have always been hard to rend, but when once broken, they have beeu the more serviceable because or the^r tenacious qualities. The Pilgrim Fathers escaped from bigotry and persecution In the Old World,and their children in a milder form re established It In New England. Mr. Nichols and the Spiritualists or Vermont In those days were couverts to divine truths.

Those trnthB were then as they ever will relatively be in their contact with error, harder than the faultless diamond, the blu­est sapphire or parent ruby, before which even the most stubborn rocks of New England

Slve way, and H was with these truths that Ir. Nichols, and a few other ardent workers,

hot only defended their positions, hot ad­vanced against tbe strong-holds of mistakea creeds. Tho assertion of his convictions, and the proclamation of the facts npon which his action rested, cost him many friends; he was ostracized la business transactions, and his financial rain was nearly accomplished. Bnt when there are principles at stake, when the voices of friends from the spiritual world are ringing in onr ears, shall we hesitate and grieve tbe Holy Spirit that is seeking utterance? Assuredly not l And to a man of Mr. Nichols’ deep convictions, the cans# was worthy of the sacrifices made. To him disaster was not defeat, and la temporary reverses he saw nltimate good.

In Burlington Mr. Nichols established the first society of Spiritualists ever formed In Northern Vermont. He obtained speakers and mediums and commenced a great work In the vicinity. He succeeded In having conventions called, which attracted wide public attention, and a growing interest In the movement was observable, in connec­tion with Newman Weeks and John Landoa of Rutland, he organized the Great Free Con­vention held in Rutland, In June, 1858 The eall of this convention was widespread, and was extended to all denominations,eeete and creeds. All were invited to eome and ex­pound their doctrines, and hi prepared to give and take In good nature all to be said. And come they did, and a strange collection it was, The call had extended across the Atlantic, and people from the British Islands responded. They met in a large tent.-arople to accommodate 3.000 pernon*. bnt that Was insufficient for such a gathering. The ses­sion lasted three days, commencing at an early honr mornings, and continuing nntii late evenings. Thousands came to listen and learn, while many earn# only to be heard,

Ipatlng that their particular views were the snm of all possible knowledge, andshould and would prevail. There were Bap­tists of all the different shades. There were./ Methodists, from those of quite spiritual not­ates. to groaning, shouting revivalists. There were Congregation si lets and Presby­terians, each expounding the hair splitting distinctions by whfrh tbe direct road to heaven could be traced, while tbs Episcopa­lian talked of the trne church and * repeated bis ritual. There was the Unitsrlau launch­ing hla logical thunderbolts against the ac­cumulated believers In the Trinity, an i the Universalis to were proclaiming a universal salvation through Christ, th e Bankers, Campbelllsts, Adventists, Shakers. Quakers. Atheists, Materialists and Infidel* were all represented. To say that the Spiritualists wore there is quite superfluous, considering who were the organizers of tbe convention. It was jnat such a gathering as delighted the Boats of Messrs. Nichols, Weeks and Lon­don, and as they had anticipated, resulted in a bombardment of denominational strong­holds, in which weak points were rowdily observed, and the necessity of new and better timber was made apparent, lu the midst of these conflicts, the claims of [Modern Spirit­ualism were advancedoaodUhe challenge given to Investigate and' refnte them if pos­sible. Here was a new comAr, armed with the testimony of living w itn e s s from both sides of tba grave, presenting fto astounding phenomena, and its sublime, yet simple, and soul approving philosophy, through which all religious sects co; id find a eolation of the problems of life, and In which material­ism and Infidelity wonld expire In the knowl­edge of a progressive but eternal existence. No scheme could have been devised more serviceable than this to put the claims ofModern Spiritualism before the religions world. That It well known.

t waa effective In Its work Is

Thousands of perrons went from that gath­ering with a new light before them. Among the prominent personages present, was Rider Jason F. Walker, who nsd been for twenty- fire years a presiding ffrtef in tbe Methodist Church. What he th*re beard and saw. ted him to Investigate the claims of tbe Spiritu­alists. and he became a prominent worker In that caase. All of throe proceedings were faithfully recorded and lJMO volumes were printed and distributed. It was s t this con­vention that a lady, whose name I cannot re­call. mounted.the rostrum and proclaimed the emancipation of woman, and her right to a freedom of action ro very broad, that her address In effect was like a thunderbolt npon the conventlpn; Free platforms are always popular with those who can get a hearing in no other place; and If aome women have claimed too much for their sox,let tt be remem­bered that woman’s sphere can be enlarged, without leaving her place in the family cir­cle, which no wotnin can afford to forget.

Mr. Nlehols married for bis first wife Miss Martha Bindley, and she h e a r t i l y joined In his spiiltaal labors. They formed a bom# circle for development, and after many weeks Of ns t lent waiting, one morning at the break-
