I will transcribe the first from the minutes I made soon after its occurrence in my workshop, while the facts were still fresh in all our memories.

Jan. 19.— This day, after using a small circular saw (driven by steam power, without stopping, for about one hour), for sawing slender strips six lcet long, mid having finished the job, about 3 o’clock r. m., I felt u peculiar numbness in my thumbs, and middle fingers chiefly, and by applying my thumb and middle linger of either hand to my ear, and rapping them to­gether, I could hear und feel a humming sound like the gentle vibrations of threads or violin strings, when drawn tight and played upon by the fingers.

I have often heard and felt the same after sawing, but never before quite so plainly as at this time.

In the morning (21) woke up about four o'clock. Was still untrauquillzcd : lay awake for two hours, when I began to full asleep, but was aroused by a severe shock of electricity, anrd was jerked all over, and heard the report, und saw the spurk emitted at the pit of my stomach, below my diuphram inside, und saw it with some organ in that region. It was of the size of a quarter dollar, of continuous light, with slightly radiating edges, and white and bright as the flame produced by burning steel wire, in streams of oxygen and hydrogen gasses.

I have appended tho certificate of the two men employed in my shop, to the symptoms produced by my sawing, because they are sober, intelligent men— the one an American, who

from what seem to Lave “ obsessed" Mr. La Roy Sunderland. I or arc my conclusions founded on mere conjccturo or n-srj

sumption. Mr. Sunderland starts off with the boast of “ nu experience in tiieso tilings for more than thirty years,” during which time lie says lie has “ learned how wonderfully prolific the functions of the human brain arc in creating imaginary worlds,” etc. And lie furnishes pretty good evidence to every rational Spiritualist, that his own brain lies been peculiarly pro­lific in the creation of the most palpably erroneous ideas, us exhibited in his problems— ideas which the experience of thou­sands who are, to say the least, ns well informed us lie, and perhaps less liable to be misled than lie, full well know arc not only grossly erroneous, but absolutely falso and ridiculous.I shall not attempt .to follow him through all bis problems, in some of which lie may have blundered upon some truths in re­gard to Spiritualism. But that lie could learn much about its phenomena, during the twenty years prior to their first appear­ance in this age, is truly problematical. Indeed, I think if lie had not antedated the commencement of his inquiries into the subject of spiritual intercourse back of the Rochester rnppings, his readers would have probably had more confidence in Ins pre tensions.

For one, 1 must say 1 have very little patience with these metaphysical disquisitions of “ blind lenders of the blind,” who set themselves up for guides to thqir fellow-men, and undertake to load others into the right path before they have found it themselves. That Mr. La Roy Sunderland is far behind the intelligence of the age in regard to Spirit intercourse, is ren­dered most manifest by various intimations which lie has made in regard to mediums and the total unreliability of all commu­nications. That his experience has been such ns to lead him to such conclusions, is not improbable. None but honest seek- ■ers of the truth have any right to expect to become very wise,«xeept in “ their own conceit.” Those whose investigations *rc prompted by mercenary motives— by a desire to sustain any preconceived sectarian dogmas— or whose object is to discredit the very medium through which they profess to seek informa­tion— will tuost assuredly find communication wlfipli they obtain a reflex of tlielr ojjbt minds. And tVs seemsto hunter e Mr. Sunderland’s experience, as well as ihat of many otl ers.

He does not, in his sixth problem, seem to understand that there is or can he any difference between a trance-medium who is under tile full control of Spirit-power, nnd n medium who is sufficiently passive to enable the Spirits to wield the baud so as to write. He says : “ It seems to me that a Spirit must be low in one most essential sense whenever it comes near enough to tills external world to take possession of a human body.”Well, Mr. Sunderland, you are not alone in this opinion. Most •of our opponents, and especially the clergy (who by the way generally have very exalted ideas of themselves), express the same opinion. But this does not make it so. By no means.1 presume, however, that those who entertain such ojmiions need not fvnr that any Spirit from the Spirit-world will ever descend so tow as to “ obsess” or “ possess” their minds or bodies until they occupy a more humble position. Certain buz­zing insects that happen to find their way into a house will manifest their dissatisfaction with their position, nnd resort to •a window to make their escape, nnd fly to the uppermost pane to effect their exit, and there continue their buzzing for n long time, to the annoyance of the inhabitants, although the lower casement of the window is raised its full length, so that if they had sense enough to come down a little from their self-elevated position, they could easily pass into the open and broad space of light and air for which Nature designed them. And if Mr.La Roy Sunderland, as well as some others, would take a more humble position, they might find their way out of tho fog in which they seem to be enveloped.

Mr. Sunderland prefaces his eighth problem with the asser­tion that he does not “ propose to dogmatize,17 and then goes on in his comments upon this problem, in which he controverts anil falsifies tho cxjicricnco and observation of thousands of Spiritualists‘who have thoroughly investigated the subject, and who have published their experience to tho world. In regard to the manner in which mediums often go Into the trance or unconscious slate, ho asserts what my own observation enablesme to declare to be untrue, and mere assumption on his part. _ . . . .HLs remarks may affect the doubting, and will no doubt gratify ] predate its value. There is no limit but capacity. Could

the enemies of Spiritualism ; hut it will not shuke the faith of those who have bccomo believers from a careful, serious and rational examination of the subject, with an honest desire to learn the truth. In his concluding remarks upon this (eighth) problem, he makes a general sweep, and throws all communi­cations purporting to lie from the Spirit-world completely over­board, “ ns belonging to the world hi which we live.” And in his ninth problem, or rat.icr his remarks upon it, he attributes Spiritdiifiucnce to "gas” and “ alcohol.” He mnv perhaps be better acquainted with those ngent.s than some of his readers, who at the same time are far more acquainted than lie with " ministering Spirits.”

in closing his tirade against Spiritualism under this last problem, lie refers to a promise said to have been made by Spir­its through Mrs. Cora L. T . Hatch more than a year ago which lie says 1ms not been redeemed. IVell, be it so. Does this prove that Spirits never redeem tlielr promises ? No ; it only shows that for some reason Mrs. Hatch was not at all times a reliable medium, in consequence, perhaps at that very time, of being surrounded by unreliable Spirits in the form. Lven Jesus was prevented from doing ninny wonderful things in a certain place, by the unbelief of the people, and why should not other mediums at this day be affected in the same way ? Ft is not improbable, however, that the promise through Mrs. Hatch was but a promise extorted from her by one who was then tyrannizing over her for mercenary purposes. At any rate, it does not prove either that Mr. Sunderland is correct in his opinion of mediums, or that Mrs. Hatch is not often influenced by Spirits from the upper, sphere. Thousands of instances might be adduced which would far more clearly prove Mr. Sunderland’s premises and conclusions to be abso lutcly false. This brings me to the close of Mr. Sunderland's ninth problem ; and want of time, as well as an unwillingness to occupy too much space in the T e l e g r a p h , lead mo to defer my comments on his succeeding problems to a future number.

SCRIPTURES."f 'n i E N n s i i j x e , IV

Communicated by a Spirit tlirou jh tile Mcdiumship of Mrs. S. C. Watcis.What instruction shall men regard as the stream of inspira­

tion that flows from God? Where find a garment to fit his soul ? “ Search ye the Scriptures,” was well said by the mouth or the apostle. Explore the vast arcana of the universe, is wholesome counsel ; yet the soul’s own whisperings stand be­tween nnd unito these hemispheres of revelation into n spheroid of light.

Scriptures arc recorded truths, wherever read— bounded by no setting save the circling glory of the universe. As gems are set in n brooch, so may each individual revelation unite in composing that galaxy of Scripture which eternity alone shall see studied and comprehended. Search all revelation ; all scripture thnt thy reason can fathom, is the counsel addressed to every soul.

Jinn’s footprints on the ages past are indications of his stature, giving promise of n dny that shall require not a single g e in— one book alone— but the whole gem-bespangled uni­verse to flash back to him the radiance of the Father’s love.If anv have grown to such a stature that they can turn the ponderous leaves of nature, nnd rend the scriptures there re­corded, ’tis theirs to do so. If some are learned in the lan­guage of the soul, let them stand up as fearless interpreters of a higher Gospel, to those who arc lisping the primary lessons of Spirit culture, in obedience to a scripture which tlielr souls have learned to respond to. First the primer, afterward deep logic as its supplement; so likewise the scripture of the past, traditions, and the counsels of inspired men ; afterward the scripture of the future, a garment for the soul, woven of the united fibers of nil truth, all revelation, nil Scripture. As tho child is gradually advanced from the instructions of the abecedarian to those of the Professor of Logic, Philosophy, and Languages, so arc the same gradual advances made from de­tached to universal tmths and revelations. Where, then, shall a mnu go for instruction to find scripture, the word of God, a revelation of truth ? To that school and class ho is prepared to enter ; to the book he is competent to read ; to the lan­guage lie can understand. Here let him extract all the honey,

men’s souks but grasp tho volume of the nuivorse— material and spiritual ; could they but understand the shining charac­ters in which this living scripture is written, it wonld be to them as it is to angels, au exhaustion fountain of revelation ; each thought it inspires is a priceless gem dropped into the casket of tho soul. All truth— whether written by the inspired peu- man, painted in nature’s panorama of law, or breathing forth as the soul's incense— is sacred and divine : a fragmentary strain in the eternal anthem chanted by infinitude, and rever­berating down tho aisles of eternity. Rear 1 Oh, hear I catch it as it comes to thee fraught with intelligence of tho Infinite Soul, or Ccntrnl Pivot of the universe, around which souis re­volve as satellites, being eternally beautified, refined and sub­limated, by tho radiant cffulgcuee of llis wisdom.

B o s t o n , January 4, 1858.That must be admitted us it sound maxim wbicli requires us

to account for all the phenomena wo witness, by laws which appertain to this world, when such laws arc present with us and well known ; and hence, in accounting for what all me­diums do, we must first examine all tho susceptibilities and powers of the nervous system ; and when we find things said or done, which the media did not, or could not say or do, we may then, and not till then, allow such things to be said and done, by the inhabitants of another world. And I am happy to find some of tho most popular media arc now beginning to adopt precisciy this view of tho subject. In a lecture which Miss Emma llardingo delivered in Cincinnati, December 8, 1858, she is reported to have said :

E x cep t in th e S p ir it c irc le , w here th e b a tte ry is co m p le te a round the m edium , and w here forces a rc d eriv ed from d ilfc rcn t sources, no m e­d iu m has ev e r y e t been k n o w n to tran scen d b e r n o rm a l ca p a c ity lie- ro a i l th a t am o u n t o f im p lru tio n w h ich en t " ' ‘ ' 'In te lligence in to a m ore cx n ltcd cond itio n .”

This I conceive to he a manifest approach to the correct -estimate of what mediums do. The exception here referred to is never susceptible of proof, and when it is admitted that nothing is ever uttered through any medium which transcends his or her normal capacity, when that capacity is brought “ into a more exalted condition,” it is what I should call somewhat of a common sense view of the subject, for we have seen that the functions of the medium’s own mind may be “ exalted” or inspired by his own belief, his own thoughts, lus own ideas of Spirits, j'eal or imaginary.

But when it is admitted that departed’Spirits do communi­cate with mortals through media, how arc the contradictory

failures and falsehoods in such communications to the most i snlitfantorily accounted for ? Various theories have been sug­gested, some seven of which I have noticed, and have found them unsatisfactory. And here is another :

8. “ My guardian Spirits do respond to me, but they have never deceived me in any way. Ollier mortals get falsehoods, but I never do.” Tills is the language of many, when they commenced their experience with the Spirits ; hut ns we shall see, this theory solves nothing. For, (first,) it is not certain that you have ever had any communication from your “ guar­dian angels,” whatever. Yon take for granted that which is not susceptible of demonstration. -You do not, and can not, know who or where those invisible personages are, with whom you think you have held conversation. You must not take for granted what remains to be proved. You may “ hope,” and “ trust,” and “ believe,” what you will, but your credulity is ono thing, nnd demonstration is another, and a very different thing. (Second,) Multitudes of those considered “ great me­diums,” have held intercourse for a scries of years with Spirits purporting to be their “ gnardian Spirits,” and near and dear Spirit-friends, but following up tho investigation, they have de­tected one falsehood after another, until they have satisfied themselves beyond all doubt of these two facts: First: That whoever or whatever these Spirits are, they were not their rel­atives nor their guardians ; and secondly, that these Spirits are of that grade which are near the cnrtii, and which seek for nothing so much ns to infest and control the bodies of mortals: and what- these Spirits say and do has this object most in view. But (third.) This notion, thut our “ guardian Angels” cannot get at us or serve us, without annihilating the selfhood of some medium, is simply absurd. 1 need no medium between myself and my best fiiend. (I'ourth.) Tho sjteciousness of this per­suasion (that we arc never deceived by Spirits) is deceptive. And yet how common it is to hear certain Spiritualists speak hi this manner, ns if they were the quintessence of harmony, and tho favorites of the angels. •• My guardian Spirits have never deceived me ! 1 his inny, indeed, lie true, for it remainsto be proved that) on have any such guardian Spirits ns you suppose ; or if you have them, many tilings they ’may liavo told yon arc not susceptible of proof, whether they be true or not- But you 6ny, pcrlinps, that " the Spirits, whoever they may he, have never falsified to you, as far us you know.” A ll! indeed, that is an important admission, when you say, “ os far as yon know.” And yet, if the Spirit gave you any name

falsehood, as far as you know,” as false as the thousands of sim­ilar utterances from Spirits have been. But (fifth ) you may novor have approached the whole subject ui that manner which is necessary for ascertaining whether the tiling was really what it purported to be or not. [t is with Spiritualism as with science—

Intoxicates tho brain,H ut drink ing largely, sober* us again .”

Tho old stagers” in Spiritualism do not often boast ofnever having been deceived by Spirits. This is language mostoften heard from the lips of youug converts nnd of mediums, or of a class of persons who have never put themselves in a position for examining Spiritualism as a whole. Listening to a few “ raps,” or conversing with a few “ familiar Spirits,” through a medium, is not the whole of Spiritualism.

Me may, therefore, admit that there maybe cases where mortals have carried on communication for a series of years, without meeting with anything in particular to excite the sus­picion of falsehood. This is usually the case with all, to a cer­tain extent, who become charmed and fascinated with this all­powerful id e a of holding intercourse with the dead, and es­pecially with some beloved friend or relative who has been laid in the grave. Many such have I known, and yet they now look hack with loathing upon the falsehoods and “ the fantas­tical tricks” which these so-called " guardian Spirits” have played upbn them. These arc the Spiritualists who have been

With respect to the perception of the degrees of ^ " pe” e turc, it is evidently by actual contact of a hca c oppo-nerves of sensation.

The modifications of sensation here briefly alluded to, iavo been considered by some physiologists as constituting nnot ler species of sciisatiou— a sixth sense, so to speak ; but " >ct ler they arc in reality a distinct species, or merely a variety of 1 1C gcueral sense, is of no consequence iu the present inquiry.- It is sufficient to have given this slight indication of them.

By primary or actual sensation, is meant our consciousness of the presence of an object, either in the more refined nnd subtle media of light and air, or in the grosser or more palpa­ble, as in smelling, tasting, and touching. By secondary sen­sation is meant our consciousness of the re-presence, or re-pre-

SENSATION---- 1'RIMAUV AND SECONDARY.

In the foregoing sections we have endeavored to establish a conviction, that every phase of Thought is the result of phy­sical stimuli operating upon physical organization— with what degree of success the reader must determine. Let us now pro­ceed to a consideration of the most important phenomena of human consciousness, taking for a basis the principle affirmed in the above proposition. Whoever will strietly attend to and observe what passes within himself, will find that thinking, in general, or having, or forming notions and ideas, (with what­ever degree of attention, or even in the most abstracted man­ner,) is no other than having secondary sensations of objects, of which wc have had immediate actual, or primary sensations previously, through the medium of one or other of the organs of senses. The rationale therefore, of tho whole Inmiiin under­standing (perception, memory, imagination, judgment, or any other faculty of the mind,) is entirely dednciblc from those primary and secondary sensations.

Evcrv mental state, or state of consciousness, is a real sen­sation or modification of feeling.

There arc five distinct external senses, ferent medium. Each requires a different, state of matter. Each gives rise to a different mental state.

There are solids which affect the touch ; liquids which affect the taste, aeriform fluids which affect the smell, sonorous vibrations which affect the hearing, and light which affects

of some fluid contained in them, although highly interesting, is not now the question. It however seems extremely pro­bable, if not positively certain, that what has been termed the animal spirits, vital principle, or nervous fluid, consists of elec­tricity, galvanism, or magnetism, or some modification of one or all oi them, if indeed ¿he three hr not trui) idcnticjil. But

j to maintain any hypothesis on this subject is not at present our object.

In all primary sensation, uu impulse from the object upon the oiedullnry ends of the nerves is absolutely necessary, which­ever organ of the senses they belong to ; as upon those of tho retina of the eye, the portiomollis of the auditory nerve, the papilla; of the skin, and in like manner of the others.

Phrenologists arrange the faculties of the mind, or, in other words, our states of consciousness, into the two classes of feel­ings and intellectual faculties. The feelings nrc divided into propensities nnd sentiments, nnd the intellectual faculties into perceptive nnd reflective.

Now this (as a matter of classification to facilitate the theory of phrenological organs) is no doubt a convenient arrange­ment ; hut without clear and distinct explanations and defini­tions, it leads us to draw the false inference that propensities and sentiments are feelings, but that perception and reflection nrc not feelings. This is, l believe the general inference, and that it is erroncons will easily be seen from a vory simple

Beside the more obvious applications of the tens** of feeling, denominated Touch, which indicate roughness, smoothness, hardness, softness, dryness, moisture, and hoc genus omne, to­gether with the general sense of resistance, there nrc several other less obvious modifications of feeling— such ns hunger, thirst, drowsiness, fatigue, Ac., which can uot of course be classed under the bend of external touch, But which are never­theless results of a direct and specific action upon certain n]>- proprinte nerves of sensation, having their extremities internal, us relating to the muscular ami cutaneous systems, but evi­dently external, in relation to the sensorium or seat of conscious-

p . UKJIOHV IS SKCONIIARV SENSATION.

sen« ‘r"“0. Scnsa 011 «»us»«, of being affected by an actual I0n’ 'roprossed by an external cause ; and secondary scu-

ton consists in being affected by the remembrance of that sensation. But this remembrance Is Itself n sensation, for It is a nugfelt— it is an internal sensation. "When we experience a primary sensation, the original movement operating on the affected organ, produces a corresponding motion in (hencrTous center, which is the seat of that particular sensation, and is its appropriate organ. Thus primary sensation is produced by the impression of an external object or action upon the external OJgans of sense, which net upon the nervous apparatus in con­nection with it, so as to transmit it to the brain, causing such a motion iu its libers, or such an alteration in its posture, frame or disposition, as to produce a consciousness of the existence of the object or action. •

Secondary sensation is the result of a similar series of motions being produced iu the nervous system and bruin, as lmd lieen previously experienced in the case of primary sensation. There­fore, memory, or the recollection of any object, action, or occur­rence, is occasioned simply by the nervous system and braiu being put into a similar posture, frame or disposition, or pas­sing through a similar series of motions as when the external organs of sense were originally impressed by the presence of that particular object, action, or occurrence, which is remem­bered.

A bell will produce the same sound, whether the rope be pulled by the middle or by. the end; so a nerve will produce a similar sensation, whether it be stimulated in the middle or at its extremity. This is well exemplified iu the case of persons who have suffered amputation of the leg, and who frequently imagine they feel a sensation in the too or the foot of the limb they have lost.

Primary sensation is always produced by stimulation from the external extremity— secondary sensation by stimulation from some internal portion of the nerve of communication.

As the materials of our bodies .(the brain and nervous sys­tem inclusive) arc undergoing a continued series of slow and im­perceptible changes, it follows that it is impossible that the brain and nervous system can ever be made to resume the pre­cise nnd exact posture, frame, or disposition of any previous state, and consequently, it is equally impossible that any thought or idea can ever be reproduced precisely and cxnctly similar to any previous idea or thought, or that we can remem­ber any object, action, or occurrence, with all the precision and exactness with which we originally witnessed it.

We have said that memory consists in feeling the remem­brance of past sensation. We must add that it consists in feeling also the remembrance of our judgment, of our desires, of all our complex ideas, and even of our remembrances them­selves ; for it continually happens to ns to remember impres­sions which were themselves only remembrances.

COROLLARV.

Thus it is obvious that memory is dependent upon, and is, the result of internal stimuli (circulation, heat, electricity, etc.) upon some portion of the nervous system—just in an equal de­gree as primary sensation is dependent upon, nnd is the result of, the presence and action of external stimuli upon the or­gans of seusc. There is nothing voluntary in cither case ; in both the organism is purely passive— it merely acts as it is acted upon.

MR. COLES IN H IS O W N B E H A L F .After a careful re-perusal of the various strictures which

have been made on me by speakers in the Conference, and by writers in the T e l e g r a p h and other spiritual papers, 1 find that a majority of the speakers and writers have been direct­ing their criticisms at an imaginary or mythical Mr. Coles, who docs not in fact really exist. It is truo that I am the person aimed at, but as I urn not amenable to any of the charges thus far mndc against me, I have been content to dodge my head, and leave the arrow^of the insatiate archers to pass on in quest of the ideal personage to whom they pro­perly belonV What I have already said, F am willing to defend luiU am not willing to sustain opinions I have never held nor to support a faith I never have adopted. In order to separate the real from the ideal of my faith, 1 will briefly

review the charges made against me, und show whereiu I have been either misrepresented or misunderstood.

First. I am charged with ussertiug that alt mediums are humbugs und impostors. This charge may fit the myth, but will not apply to me. 1 have never uttered a sentence that by any possibility could be so construed. On the contrary, 1have freely acknowledged that the generality of mediums urc . . , .perfectly honest, although in my opinion they urc misled by tl.„ ____mistaking the control of an idea for the control of a Spirit.That there are roguish medium«, I believe and know ; but I do not believe all mediums are of that character. The strong­est charge I ever made was addressed -to what arc called “ physical manifestations.'’ I said that I had never seen a physical manifestation which was out of the power of mor­tals to accomplish ; hence they were not entirely satisfactory to me. It is true that during the first periods of my investi­gation I saw demonstrations wliicli I accepted as spiritual; but subsequeut reflection, and a little more light in the direc­tion of known causes, compelled me to reject their claims to unraistakeable spiritual origin. Let me illustrate : Some years ago I saw a common table made heavy or light at one cud by a medium's finger being gently pressed upon the table’s center.Affixing a balance at one end, the lady medium requested the Spirits to make that cud heavy, nnd it weighed twenty pounds.Again asking the Spirits to make it light, it fell to twelve pounds. Here appeared to be eight pouuds of spiritual force, and I and others who saw the fact gave the Spirits credit for that amount. But when, some time after, I tried my mundane mediumship on a table in tljp same manner, I found that I could accomplish the same result. By gently, and even unper­ceived by the lookers-on, pressing the finger iu the direction of the balanced end, that end is made heavy ; by dircetiug the force in the opposite direction, that end is made light; by a cessation of pressure, the natural weight obtaius again. Any­body can perform this feat. Now I changed my estimate of my former spiritual fact; for what evidence had I that she did not apply the force ? I do not say she did; 1 only say 1 have no positive evidence that she Aid not. \ was honest inmy belief; I am now equally honest in my disljclicf.

Second. I am supposed to be constantly on the Iook-ont for tricks, traps and deceptions, and as “ like attracts like,” it is no marvel that I fiud what I hunt for. This idea is as false os the other. I never in my life went to a medium for the pur­pose of detecting fraud. When I sat with the Davenport boys for the purpose of seeing a “ Spirit-haud,’’ I hoped aud looked for a genuine manifestation ; but when in looking a little closer than the “ conditions ” allowed, I discovered the hand to be a stuffed glove drawn over the toe of the medium’s boot, I was as mortified and grieved as the mediums were, and much more angry. And so with Mr. Paine and his wire-tipped table. I wanted to see a genuine tip, and was sorry to detect the fraud ; that is to say, I was sorry there was a fraud to detect. It is true I went to his house with my head full of mundane hypotheses, which I meant to apply as so many touchstones, but iu my heart of hearts I prayed that none of them might be found adequate to the cause, and that

might receive the positive proof I was iu search of. I have seek tricks enough to last my lifetime ; I ask for no more. What I am in search of, is spiritual truth ; und if in my pro­cess of investigation I run against the snugs of fraud, the fault must be attributed to the grossness of the manifestations, and not to me.

Third. I am believed by many to be a self-elected spiritual witch-finder, and am often addressed by Spiritualists aud others, requesting me to go to this, that or the other suspected medium, for the purpose of detecting and exposing their sup­posed plans of operation. Once for all, I assure my friends that I am no such person. I do not belong to the detective force. From the beginning I have been guided in my investi­gations by the holy purpose of demonstrating that my father my mother, and my first-born child still lived, and could com­municate with me. That they do live, I believe, but do not know ; nnd although 1 have ns yet failed to satisfy my earnest longings for a communication from them, I hnve still sufficient patience and faith in the equity of divine law to be willing to watch, nnd •* wait a litle longer.”

Fourth. I am called dishonest, nnd a shumc-facod hypocrite and traitor, for haviug ouee pretended to have beeu a medium

and also for having traveled with u medium, holdimr -iiiriintil meetings, etc., when I now aver that I have no good evidence that Spirits can or do communicate at all. Persons v In. make such charges do not perceive the powibiliK of niv com.pelted to reject to-day the proof whi* I v.-o r,layWhen I acted ns a medium, I honestly t,cu,,v. i w l controlled by Spirits. I know that 1 noted inne r no ir.llm u. <■

_ % . . \!Jlove with the spiritual idea, it was not strange that I ho,ild em­brace its philosophy and believe its assumption:- l< true my mind alternated between belief and doubt; ,lnil I . . tol- deufly appeal to all who have over beard me, cither in iiiyi.or- mul state or when “ under influence,” if 1 have ever S-'-n.-low in freely expressing my skepticism in regard to my v.wii me- diuiuship'! I never have claimed for myself so much a- my friends hnve claimed for me. Brn. Clark, of the Spiritual Clarion, with whom I traveled in 1855-’56, can i-slifr to fho many friendly lectures he has given me in relation to ray skepticism in my own mediumship. When 1 believed i war a Spirit-medium, I freely communicated my belief, and ».-«called a fool by my outside friends. When I bad douiu, upon tlmi ¡joint, I spoke my doubts “ right out in m-eting," and fur this have been called a knave by my inside brethren. So, as a be­liever or unbeliever, I am either a rogue or a fool, anil in the estimation of some, both. Between the rocks ¡Scylln mid Out- rybdis, my friends have made a channel so nurivw fii.-ii my poor bark cun not squeeze through without befng wrecked on one side or the other. By throwing freight ovcr-umul. I do not seem to lighten the ship ; so I shall let her t*i; d. -av while I eudenvor to swim ashore with neither a shirt nor -•!,:ir:a!er to my back. During uiv life 1 have cast my char; • • r -"vcral times, just as a lobster casts his shell, but have uh.uy* grown a new oue that fitted just as well, and suited me a g—-ii deal better than the old one. He who never changes bis rniud never loses Ids character, but goes old fogviug through the world, aud crawls into the grave through the same shell that he crawled into from the cradle.

lady’s mediumship. In the commencement of our travel* I had no more doubt that Spirits communicated through her by raps and by writing, than I had of my existence. Aud even up to the last hour of our enterprise. I firmly bulieved that Spirits rapped through her. My reasons for changing my belief in this regurd, have occutwd since our connectiou eco.-u-d, and will be given iu a fature cawnuuication. I clirini to bare beeu honest all the way tlirough, and what is more, 1 shall prove my honesty to that class of minds who will rccciv«- facts and fair arguments os proof.

Fifth. I am often quoted as one who denies lhnr Spirits exist, much more that they can eommniiirAUj with mortals. On the contrary, I believe with all my soul that Spirits do exist, and that they can aud sometimes do influence mortals In what degree I will explain hereafter.

Sixth. One valorous and extremely aidous brother, whose love for “ the cause” is excruciating, not satisfied with calling me a hypocrite, a liar, an impostor, and other such gentle epi­thets, winds up by calling me insane, and advises my friends, if I have any, to put me in some place for eafekwpmg H‘- also vouchsafes the opinion that Mr. Paine’s bogns manifestationa were of my getting up, aud that we acted in collusion. Iff the purpose of bringing mediumship into disrepute. This friend has evidently a mythical Mr. Coles in his eye. and 1 shall there­fore leave him to fight his own “-man of straw,’’vrbile 1 address myself to real personages.

In conclusion, I beg to forever take Ita e of the mythical character iu which I have been envelo|>ud by some •>' -be over­heated but well-meaning friends of “ the cause. M inn I have really said, what I truly believe, together with the i v:u my faith, will be given in subsequent com m niiicu t.-in

A correspondent writing from Hamburg (E. F. Burr), asks UR the following questions :

“ First. What in your judgment is tho philosophy of the mode by which Spirits produce the physical and mental phenomena observed in circles ?”

'■ S e c o n d , is there nny criterion by wldcli we can distinguish be­tween tlic communications of good S]— and if so, Wliat is it?”

good Spirits and those which arc evil

These questions seem legitimately to follow those replied to in last week’s issue— page 4lC— and to lead us on in the same channel of thought, but to problems which we believe no one has attempted to solve. Therefore, on entering the threshold of this comparatively new territory of thought now to be ex­plored, we wish to say that we speak not dogmatically or ora­cularly, but merely in the way of expressing an opinion.' Our thought is based on history, observation, and experience; which every other person lias, or may have, more or less, and we hope onr remarks may provoke others to state their views on these most interesting and abstruse questions, and their reasons for them, to the cud that the true philosophy of the modus operandi of Spirit manifestations may be plainly set in, order before the millions of minds now thin direction.

In our article of last week— above referred to— we main­tained that living was growing— a constant unfolding of new functions and manifestations, through ucw instrumentalities; that a human spirit is reason and life united, constituting a conscious personal life-entity ; that it is not the physical body, but the internal, central force— the me— which attracts and casts off bodies, and survives physical structures ; that cssen tial personality manifests itself through physical bodies, awl snrviws ¡heir dissolution ; that life’s capabilities do not culmi­nate in the evolution of humanity, but go on evolving new forms and functions of being

If we have succeeded in putting truth in the form of. ex­pressions which the uiiud can comprehend, we are now ready to examine into the power of the spirit, and its relations to the body on the earth-plane, and to follow their significance into the invisible beyond, and determine their operations there.

llpman uature is governed chiefly by two forces, called physical and spiritual. Physical forces are exhibited through, out material nature, in the mineral, vegetable, and animal growth. This force is also exhibited in the natural, or purely physical man, but in him are also exhibited the spiritual forces which, in a greater or less degree, control the physical forces and their manifestations. The body is more or less subject to the spirit— the reason, tho will. The spirit grows, or in other words becomes more and more perfected, and controls more and more the manifestations of the body. The manifestations of the spirit through the earth-man proceed evidently from n spiritual center in man “ the judgment-seat ”— which may lie said to correspond to the center of the physical man, the heart. All the perceptions of the human

Wc be­lieve the immortal spirit is strengthened by these exercises, until it finally triumphs over physical inclinations and forces. This spirit exists iu realms more sublimated than earth mate­riality, and is incognizable to the human senses, and from this plane the spirit manifests to us ; and the question is, How isit done? Wc answer, by two, and perhaps three or more methods.

Dr. Fowler, some years ngo, hud a most interesting experi­ence, which was published at the time, and therefore we will state but a part of it, and that briefly, lie saw aud conversed with Spirits fully re-clothed with earth-bodies. They created electrical currents from four sides of tlic room, which centered in him, clasped him at his waist, and lifted him to the ceiling. This shows that Spirits use electrical currents to produce some of their physical manifestations. Wc arc inclined to the opin-1 ion, however, that Spirits, under favorable conditions, at least, control the subtle elements, nnd form physical instrumentali­ties, by which means contact is formed with ponderable objects,' which arc thus moved by the Spirit force, in a similar manner; as our spirits move things by means of our hands and the force of onr spirit or will. Tlic hands in themselves have no power to move anything, but the spirit in nnd behind the hands pro­duces tlic result.

Menial manifestations arc produced, wo believe, in some cases, by the Spirit flowing into tho medium, aud controlling his physical organism to utter itself in the same ora similar man ncr that our Spirits control and utter ourselves or themselves through our natural bodies. In these cases, tlic natural self-

good ar,d s W ^ assimilate our natures to iMw as toeat'grc .t°quantitios without injury. It is good to believe, at least that Spirits lie, to prevent the surrender of our mdmd- ualitv and a reliance on anothcr-on mere authonty-the ipse diwii of n Spirit, even. Everything is growing, and jdl is good except, perhaps, our folly in cursing the stem orsUlk, because we can’t eat it, and pronouncing the gram it bears good ‘■imply because we can eat it. We ought to have, and shnll’have, a broader view, aud we may spare our curses when we consider tbut if wo can not cat the stalk, the oattle can, and we can cat them. Whatever we can not assimilate to our uso, wo had better pass in peace to those who can. We arc lmppy to he ablo to say that we know of no external inquisition which can justly presume to decide what is good or evil for us. nnd we trust there never will bo suoli a criterion established. God does not seem cheerfully to lend himself to human schemes for sliuflling responsibility, and we are incliued to tlic opinion that he intends to hold each of us responsible for

I tbe proper exercise of tho judgment uud faculties lie has |given us; and with this view, seeing the hankering after exter­nal authority, we think it would be a blessed tiling if Spirits could lie to us, and wc don’t know but that they do, but tho case does not seem to be quite made out. It is well for each to know for themselves what is true and right.

It by no means follows that every intellectual or spiritual manifestation through the earth-body, or afterward. Is alto gethcr perfect, urnm y for two reasons. First, the spirit itself may not be perfected ; secondly, the spirit may not have com­plete nnd undisputed control of the means it uses for the man­ifestation. All persons have abundant evidence of tliis Wc arc constantly saying aud doing that which we would not and

Iu many cases undoubtedly tho selfhood is thus rendered uncon­scious, in order to prevent tho influences of fear operating adversely to the Spirit's control and manifestations. This view of the case is strengthened by tho fact that many mediums (and especially speaking mediums), after they acquire confi­dence ill the Spirit’s control, are allowed to be conscious of what they nre made to do and say, and what tbe Spirit says through them is as 'uew and interesting to them as it is to their auditors.

Wc think the modus operandi of the Spirits in the produc­tion of «Tiling, may be the same as that by which they pro­duce the speaking. Or it may lie otherwise. Tho Spirit may infill the human organism and take the place of the rightful

Another modus operandi by which Spirits write, through the hand of a medium, is, we believe, purely physical ; that isto sav, the Spirit creates a snhlimated instrumentality— a hand,. the Messenger might arrive to if you please_by which it grasps the hand of the medium, nndcontrols it to write, as we may do with a child’s hand.

n or worthy of a substantial cause.) Mr. Densmoro is not quite candid with luma-lf. ■

The suitor who carries an appeal to the high court of rea­son, may be fairly presumed to desire justice— the truth of the matter, not the ipse dixit of mere routine law— the sophistry0 pettifoggers but I am impelled to sny with frankness equal to his own, that if this really be his object, he has chosen a very unreasonable method of securing it. Without reason, he takes an appeal to reason. lie enters her sacred tribunal only to commit a contempt of court by refusing to be governed by its established rules of practice ; aud then, sincerely enough no doubt, complains of his dilemma, and cnlls on Mr. Partridge to help him out of it. Now, as a sufferer from the same folly,1 can feelingly suggest to Mr. Pcnsmorc that as an indispensa­ble preliminary to his “ intellectual satisfaction/’ he must purge himself from contempt of court with as little delay as possible.

The plaintiff’s cause, as it is spread upon the papers, stands thus: 1. lie prays an answer to the question, “ Is spiritualexistence possible ?” 2. lie demands that “ The answer be addressed to the thonght, to the intellect, unaccompanied by any facts challenging investigation into their cause.”

• 3. He confesses to a “ belief in many of the reputed facts,” but as they “ do not advance his faith in a spiritual cause,” he repeats his demand, which is virtually (and herein lies the con­tempt) that reason shall trample on all her established methods and give him a verdict in utter disregard of fncts ; or, to his own words, “ in a pure intellectual manner.”

When Mr. Densmoro becomes aware that he can offer no greater insult to the tribunal he invokes, than to ask, as he does, that it shall assume the exercise of powers which do not belong to it, that is to say, when himself becomes ns reasona­ble as he is salient— lie will get from reason an affirmative an­swer to his qncstion, and not before. He may read all the books, hear all the “ mediums,” resort lo all accredited logic, but to Mr. Dcnsmorc, no satisfactory verdict is possible on the ground he occupies.

Kcason is not a creator; it is not her province to make facts, but to note their significance merely. The verb reason, is to infer conclusions from promises or ascertained facts. The noun reason, is the word formula of a consecutive series of fncts, Bustaincd observations : nothing more, nothing less. IIow then can Mr. Dcnsmorc demand of renson that It shall make “ spiritual existence possible,” denying to reason the benefit of a single fact upon which to plant her verdict ? Let his own experience answer the question. Ever since “ he was a child

1 “ he has tried for a verdict in that court, and there

but to reply— “ Any other but [an affinnative answer is im­possible.”

Such a course is so obviously just and rational, that I can not briug myself to believo that Mr. Densmoro would have

roposed the one ho has, which, in his own case, has led to such barren results, were it not that, in very truth, he has do

question to Bottle; and for tho good and sufficient reason, that in his own “ intellect ” he has settled it. At tho outset he takes tho position, “ I am an unbeliever iu spiritual existence,”

he is not an inquirer; he has inquired diligently, inquirod from his “ tenth year ’’ to tho present hour, and found nothing; has seen nothing, heard nothing, felt nothing, and therefore, of necessity, knows nothing of this matter, except that n o t h in g

is ! Moreover, “ ho has had a slight public argument with Joel Tiffany, and has wished “ to enter the lists again with some able, candid thinkerjof the Spiritualist sobool.” What for ? To convince himself? to inquire farther ? Absurd 1 lie has repudiated tho character of an Inquirer ut the outset, aud has entered the lists as an “ unbelieverready to do bat­tle against all opposing champions, provided they will let facts alone, and arm themselves wholly with abstractions.

From bis own papers, therefore, it is apparent that he has no question to submit, as a clieut or suitor; he is not in earnest— this is not a vital question to him, and ho has but a lawyer's interest in it. The lawyer is apparent throughout; and I would have i# understood that it is with the lawyer Densmoro, and not with tho man Deusmoro, that I am dealing. At pre­sent the man is nearly smothered beneath his robes of office and I must strip them off that ho may get the air.

Aud now, just here, and made out of his own papers, smo­thering and bliuding him like a woolen night-cap drawn over head and ears, so that the man Dcnsmorc can see nothing of himself but the lawyer, I fiud this truly lawyer-like sentence before alluded to, which must be dissected off, like a fungus or the man will be deformed. To explain: Tho lawyer part of Mr. Densmorc says, “ I am willing to say I believe a great

T H E S E C T A R I A N ’S G O D I S I M P O T E N T .AND THE DEVIL ALMIGHTY.

We publish tho following lengthy communication, accredited to a Professor, as our correspondent says, “ ht a one boree Aoa- demy ” in Mechanicsburg, 1 a., nob because itcaatams anything now to Spiritualists, but because we want to pabliah in these columns all that is opposed to Spiritualism, and because the Bible objections are here brought together in a compact form, and because, too, if it he the fact, as is alleged, that the Devil is more industrious, aud exerts more inflacncc than God and all good angels and Spirits combined, he ought to be noticed, and have the credit, at least, of being alivo aud active, doing something, if it is not quite of so respectable a nature os could be desired. We rather prefer a'live Devil to a {lead God.

It is humiliating that Christians, bo called, are constantly affirming that when God is about to perform some good act to humanity, such os sending his heavenly messengers to mortals on errands of mercy and instruction, the Devil perçoives his in­tentions, steals his means of communication, and uses them him- solf to make a row down bore, while God aud his angels stand a-hast, blinded with the dust this “ fast fellow kicks up.” If Christians believe this, as they affirm, we should think their discretion would lead them to ccuso praying to so impotent a being as they make God to be, and try to turn the powers that be to good account, aud be contcut.

The so-called Christians generally profess to believe io th absurdity that the Devil controls all the intercourse botween Spirits and mortals— that the Devil aud his imps cau and do commuuicate, but good Spirits never. They reluctantly admit that ovil Spirits are immortal, and communicate with mortals, but they deny that] there is auy tangible evidence that good spirits live beyoud the grave. “ That is a bourne from which no traveller ever returned " If it is so it is a pity; and if there is any virtue in prayer, wo suggest that we pray hcuce- forth to the active power, the Devil, (as they say,) and try to induce him to lot a good Spirit spoak to some of us.

Now, here is tho swindle. The man Densmoro, though sup posing himself to bo talking all the time, haS really said no such thing— made no such admission, has signed no such articles of faith. It is not necessary to travel out of the record to prove this; it appears upon the papers. On them it appears that he has “ read Davis,” has heard Judge Edmonds,” and “ knows Warren Chase socially and spiritually,” &c. Very well. Who that ever road or heard these men, does not know that cither of them 1ms uttered facts enough to make tbe question of Mr. Densmoro a nullity to the reason of nny man who is willing to say, I believe them ”? Ah, Mr. Densmorc, let me, by a little straight-forward talk,'try, in all kindness, to induce you to be a little less expert as a lawyer, and a little more earnest as a man. You “ believe many of tbe reputed facts"— lct me state in plain English how “many.” You believe just as many as you suppose you can explain by your favorite hy­pothesis, whatever it may be, and every other you reject in toto. Why not say so then, in God’s name, and have done with it ? Why juggle any longer with yourself? M liy in­vite a war of hypotheses with hypotheses, which you know from all past experience may ho iutcrmiuable, when the con­tact between hypothesis and fact is so iliort and so decisive! There is an answer of fact to every man put qncstion; lawyers and children may ask questions the Devil himself can t an­swer. You linvo got the cart beforo the horse; change him.It is not tho office of reason or “ intellect ” to reveal facts to the senses, hut of tho senses to disclose facts to the reason. You linvo simply mounted your philosophical nog, face to tail; dismount, reverse your position, and go on your way rejoicing. _______ n-

ugliness for an hour, and for the privilege of haring an augol use one of bis telegraphic Hues of communication. If he objects to tho gospel of God's angels coming to us, wo wifi agree that it shall come to the church exclusively. This certainly oan not do harm to his kingdom, since they nro all deadly opposed to him now; and so fur as their influence goes, he can not he worse off. Wo think arrangements can be made with hint, and it would certainly be a blessed thing if demonstrations could come to tho church that good people, their friends, live after the death of the body.

But wo wish to come down from this, to us, unnatural Devil- plane, to our homely common-sense state. “ Virgil ” says,

To be stoned to death was tho punishment denounced against diviners and those who consulted with them.” Who denounced and ordered people to bo stoned ? This modern Virgil says, God ; but is not this mode of punishment, or of killing pcoplo, ns devilish as anything attributed to the Devil? Was it auy improvement on the conduct of tho diviners and consul tors with Spirits thus denounced ? Common honesty and oouimon scusc sny, no. Then why do wo attribute this outrage to God ? Wo can see no preference in it over tho acts ascribed to tho other gontlemnn, and it appears to us that the difference con­sists iu tho charuoter am} purposes of those who use it. Thus acts are adjudged to be good or bad, from God or tbe Devil, simply by their favoring or opposing people’s predilections. But if this command to stono people did really come from God, so much tbe worse for him, nnd his power ought to be sub­verted ; and it is a blcrsed thing if the Devil has done it. Wo nro not cringing tools to piouH folly mid brutality, come from where it mny. Wo demand of God as well as the Devil and bis imps, to be just, and to do to others as ho 011(1 taoJ would have others do to them.

“ Virgil" makes a great flourish in his communication with Webster’q definitions, which are mere foolishness in compari­son with the siguificanoe more recently uufbided. He knew nothing of Spiritualism, and therefore could give »0 proper definition. We do not sny this from a basis of mental specu­lation, but from the basis of faots iu our own experience ; an

one purpose in publishing Virgil’s ” article is to show Spirit­ualists the ignorance of Webster on the subject— not to dis­honor him, but to honor progress.

Virgil says : “ The signs wrought by the magicians in Egypt, such as cltaitgiug rods into serpents, water to blood, and biing- lug up frogs into the land, prove the aid of superhuman power. — Ex. vii 8.

Now, here arc stated to have occurred phenomena not within the experience of any living person, and, we believe, novel were within the experience of man, as proof ot superhuman power. By analogy, “ Virgil ’’ must admit that Dr. Dods, B. Brown Williams, and a host of other psychologists, exercise superhuman power. They, too, turn water into blood, canes into serpents,and bring up frogs before their subjects; and to the hallucinated mind it is real, but common senso knows bet­ter now, and did, wo believe, in tbo magician’s days. These monstrosities of nature must not be put forth to common sense as verities. First, it must bo proved that the statement is true— that the things really occurred— and then proved that the magicians produced them. Wo undertake to deny that magicians ever produced a frog, and we call on nature and common sense as proof. Wo are sorry for the lingering dispo­sition of designing men to impose such notisenso upon the ignorant and superstitious. In saying this wo iutond no per­sonal disrespect, but because such Imposition would be diaboli­cal, truth demands this to be said. And here we at pre­sent rest, in sorrow that there is more evil design aud igno­rance among men than we have time and space to correct. We give place to “ Virgil’s” wisdom:

Mr. E d it o r -. As there ore many wise men of this age who claim to bn able to explain the cause and philosophy of (host

surround us, will adopt any theory or philosophical hopothesis °f departed Spirits.— ll eteb.r. Jaimes and Jambres who with-to explain these “ manifestations” which will not admit of a consistent explanation of ail the spiritual phenomena of the Bible, without violence to tlio plain letter of inspiration— its necromancy and familiar spirits— its Egyptian sorcery and magic— its evocation of Samuel— its pytliouie damsel— inspira­tion of false prophets— its history of possession by demons and expulsion of demons— its unclean wandering ami seducing spirits— its prediction of “ devils working miracles,” with its witchcraft uud worship of devils. To deny the possible agency of evil spirits in manifestations like those of our time, is to deny the truth of the Bible. Let us examine the Book on this subject:

Tlie Lord said to Isrcal, “ When tliou art come into the land which I shall give thee, tliou slialt not learn to do after the abominations of tlie nations. There shall not be found among you any one that mnkelli in's son or his daughter to pass through tlie fire, or tliat nsctlixlivinalion, or any observer of tlie times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord ; and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”— Deut. 18, 10-12.

“ For they arc tlie spirits of devils working miracles, which go fortii unto tlie kings of the earth, and of the whole world ” — Rev. 10 : 13. '

We will give the definition of tlie following expressions or words, and leave the conclusion with tlie reader:

1. D iv in a t io n .— Divination, the art of fortclling future events by previously recognized signs. The word is derived from tho Latin divinali, ami that again from divimts, formin'*- an acknowledgment of tlie text. Secret tilings belong to Goif The Greek word is numleia, and this, which takes its tliviiiu- tion from mantis, a prophet or soothsayer, is generally used in combination. Tlius, gcomaney, necromancy, cheiromancy yc, tlie earth; ncl-ros, a dead person; cheir, tlie hand- and manteia, signifying, therefore, divination by means of sand or earth, by calling up the spirits of tlie dead, uud by investigat­ing the lines on the palms of tlie hands. Divination appears to liavo been early reduced to a system, and wo find many pro­hibitions in the Word directed nguinst it. Tlie kinds of divin­ation mentioned, are : 1, Cupcllotnancy, otherwise Borylonmn- cy, divination by the cup or jewel. 2, Blmbdonmncy, divina­tion by tlie wand or arrow. 3, Necromancy, divination bv the dead. 4, Oueirotnnncy, divination by dreams. 5, Clero- mancy, divination by lot. 0, I’lionomancy, divination in­voices. ‘

stood Moses, were styled magicians and sorcerers.S o r c e r y .— Magic, with craft, or divination, with the assist­

ance of evil Spirits ; all these arc comprised in sorcery, which arc treated as a heinous crime. “ Sorcerers shall have their part in the lake which burueth with fire and brimstone.”— Ben. 21: 8.

Some persons contend that sorcerers, necromancers, aud witches, were always mere pretenders, and never had anything to do with Spirits. This is incredible. The signs imputed to them, the form of expression employed, tlie statements made concerning them, and the severe penalties decreed against their offenses, prove the contrary.

The signs wrought by the magicians in Egypt, such as changing rods to serpents, water to blood, and bringing up frogs into the land, prove the aid of superhuman power.— Ex. 1 : 8.

Tile forms of expression employed concerning them— " A con- suiter with familiar Spirits ;” “ A man or woman that hath a familiar Spirit,” not pretcudctli to have familiar Spirits— these passages prove that some persons really had familiar Spirits, and were not mere pretenders. The Bible exposes pretenders, nud it would have exposed these if they had bceu sucli in thisespect, but it does not contain the least hint of the kind

In view of tlie foregoing, and the following Scripture, I would advise all that are so fond of, aud following after modern ne- cromancv to take warning, and be contented with the Word of God as tlieir rule of faith aud practice :

“ Tho soul that turncth after such as have familiar Spirits, mid after wizards, to go a whoring after them; I will even set my face agaiust that soul, and will cut him off from umoug the people.”— Bee. 20:0. _____ vibgil.

SEIRnTAL INTERCOl-RSE.And it came to pass, ns we went to prayer, a certain damsel

possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her lims’er much gain by soothsaying, etc.— Acts 10 : 18.

We have here an mapiesl ¡enable proof of such a communi­cation of superhuman know ledge. It may be first observed, that tho term used by the sacred writer to describe this woman’s occupation, manleuomai, and which our translators have rendered southsai/ins:, signifies “ to foretell divine proph- cey— deliver an oracle. It is precisely tho same word used by Herodotus when referring to the divination of the Scythians, and which is ulso employed hy him when speaking of the famous oracle at Delphi. Tlie ease is therefore strictly in

There were some lawful means among the Jews for inquu ing | point In this instance, then, it is clear Hint an evil Spirit into the future. There were the prophets or seers ; there were ■ gave to the woman the power of making superhuman or ovacu-

tion. If it be a scientific principle, and at the same time with­in the control of scientific minds, it must be of vust inaportauco to the human race ; and these wise men would do their fellow­men much good if tiicy would explain the principles of this manifestation so as to bring it into general nsc; for ¡1 is certain that it is brought into use very frequently through .Spin? ».dist­ance; and ns I know of no law or agency but that brought to bear by Spirits, they would confer on me a favor by enlighten­ing me on this point, I use this principle or manifest:'.tkm very much, sometimes iu setting broken bones, sometimes in produc­ing internal results, iu various persons, that might be cai'ed sur­gical operations, etc. ,

But as I have at tiiis time a very important- case oti hand, where the manifestation is very marked, I will give it By way of illustration, it is the case of an enlarged knee. Tin* limb, above and below the knee, is very much emaciated. Tlie dis­ease is said, by many physicians, to be cancerous. Much had been done for it, but it grew worse. It was necessary to get up some action to work the accumulated matter out of the swelling ; but all efforts failed in the usuni way, und she grew worse. In this state (vitality being very low) I was requested to treat the case.

I commenced treating it. and relied upon my own magnetic powers and the assistance of persons in tlie Spirit-world. Auer a few days an action in tho flesh about the knee commenced. After a while the knee-pan became loose, the fleshy parts ihut adhered to the joints became loose, and whenever 1 pluee ray hand upon the joint, every muscle and nerve seems to be in motion, and often iu violent action ; the action then M end- from the body to the foot, aud if there is any puin located in any particular part, it will be sure to act upon tha, part until the pain is removed, and the action follows the pain . the fo .­Now it is not necessary for me to be with the patient, to -ot ud tins action, as at first, for Spirit-friends have p t such of the patient that at any time it may be desired f hev v,. °d ; also, when asleep, it seems to work with as ’much when 1 am operating upon it,

One learned physician explained it hy savin**- the i be caused by some secretions under the k u c ™ -'°h ,t “" 'v became evident that the knee-pan did not extend -

It may seem strange that I declare that this is Spirit-power, and then ask for an elucidation from these wise men. Well, I give the matter as I see and understand it: They say I am deceived and mistaken, and that “ it can be accounted for on scientific principles.” Now, I claim my position and declara­tions good until they prove theirs to be good. I will admit tlmt the manifestations are scientific, and can be explained by our Spirit-friends, and can be brought into use by them, but 1 want an explanation from wise men who repudiate Spirit­power and inflncncc. If they succeed well with this, I have more of the same sort. Yours, etc., I. G. ATW00H.
