Soon after, we re­moved to the Immediate vicinity of a convent not far from Cincinnati, Ohio. Between Mrs. N. and myself a strong attachment existed—she Was very kind, full of motherly sympathy, and was woman of strong magnetic attraction!, and I ns a patient clung to her as almost my only hope for life. She was exceed ingly desirous to secure my conversion

♦ K.-v l a l iK rtf r tn 1 w twiiA rtK nM tK **■ to the faith of “the only true church. 1| In those days I was quite orthodox—

after the Protestant pattern; and when] she would argue with me, or try hen fine persuasive powers to turn me to the “true fold,” 1 would meet her with] Scripture quotations, as I was indeed] unusually conversant with the BibleJ and with general theology as well! Some of our kindly encounters were] rather amusing. On one occasion she] tried to gain me to practice “invocation of the saints,"—going through a well-1 rounded argument supplemented with] coaxing persuasion. As usual on such occasions, I fell back on the Bible, tell-] ing her that 1 dared not swerve from the teachings of that book which was to] me the authoritative word of God. II had read and re-read the Bible through, and the only recorded instance of pray­ing to the saints was that told by Jesus oonoerning the rloh man In hell, who I prayed Father Abraham to send Lazarus to cool his (Dives') parched tongue; hut from the poor success of this prayer, I did not feel encouraged to invoke the saints. The grim humor of the reply was too. much for her—she sprang up from her chair, trying unsuccessfully to look very serious, gave me a “love tap" with her hand, and spying: “You don’t know much,"—-marched off laughing in her sleeve. She^ever broached that subject to me again.

I could relate many anecdotes oon­oerning herself and other members of the family; but tffey would be mostly aside from the point at which I am aim- ing—which is to elucidate to some ex­tent the peculiar psychic influences set nt work by Romish Spirits, both embod­ied and disembodied, aq noted in my own personal experience.

As I have already said, Mrs. N. was earnestly desirous of my conversion.

■ soon evident that she had got theconvent people, nuns and resident -others, or priests, interested in my behalf. Being Cent one day oft some errand that took me into a harvest field belonging to the convent, I was ap­proached by Father-----, a French priestattached to the convent, who threw his arms lovingly around me and gave me a warm embrace. Being sent to the con­vent one day, the Mother -Superior

smiled sweetly,”—like Hudson Tuttle's Mother Superior in his “Convent of the Sacred Heart."—but it is only fair to say that she did not embrace me, in a spiritual sense. If she had only embraced me as lovingly as the

Father" did, I might have been con­verted right then and there (miracu­lously, of course). But the sweetly-smil­ing sister neglected to “embrace" her opportunity, and it passed by forever. If she is living to-day and should read these lines, no doubt she could say, with Whittier:“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,The saddest are thne It might have been.”

I As I write these llnea^Hting in the shade of a tree, in ToleatyDhlo, I look up and see two “Sisters," clad in their black garb and with a white band around their heads, passing over a bridge close by, and I have a warm and kindly feeling for those sisters—not­withstanding the dislike I have toward! the old churoh. I do not hate them—1| hate Romanism.] HZ

Mrs. N. had them all praying and re­peating theUt rosaries, etc., etc., for my conversion; ad her faith was strong] that I would jeome a son of the ohurch.n Indeed, she laid to me, in all earnest-] ness: “You are sure to become a Cat ho-| llo before you die.”*

She gave me a rosary that was Bald to have a piece of the wood of the true oross, and tried to teach me how to use it She asked me to repeat “Paterl Nos tors,” the “Angello Salutation “‘Hail Mary," etc., and other uathoito devotional things of like nature, and to please her, I complaisantly repeated the words after her dictation.

In the light of further experience and study I can see, as I could not and dld not then see, the dee]pibten1 of all these proceedings. It wasi toenoot t union of visible and invislbforces, to

come upon me, and I would find myH | taking on the thoughts and feelings of a devout Catholic—the words of intense Romish devotion would be in my mouth and on the point of open utterance. Sometimes for the moment I would be, as it were, a Catholic. Sometimes It was las though the words of the devotional! exercises were spoken In my ears by a] voice in the air above me. Voices would]

■repeat to me, most devoutly, with ini I tense feeling of love and worship, “Holy] Mary," and other Catholic exolamationsl so on uttered by devout Catholics. Itl seemed, indeed, that by the influence of I Romish spirits I was being psychically! Romanized, even against my will.

I knew little about Spiritualism nt] that time, and was consequently the] more open to this assault of the unseen I Romish forces. However, I rallied, by] the aid of my confirmed habit of falling back upon the Bible, ns before stated.I Roman ism was not in the Bible, as I un-j derstood it; and so I would not sur-| render. The strength of the assault I was broken and driven back; but to this] day, from time to time, I am beset by Romish spirits seeking to win me to the [church; miracles of the Romish stripe are performed to bring me around; but Spiritualism gives me an insight into and knowledge of their work and meth­ods, and is a safeguard and an.effectual I weapon both of defense and offense as against Romanism, from whatever source, seen or unseen. By the grace of Spiritualism, not only am I not “con­verted,” hut I have learned to hate the Romish hierarchy and its methods, its falsities, its frauds and its lies, as I hate the “devil" or spirit of evil itself. When these unseen (so-called) emissaries of Romanism oome to me now I can discern them clalrvoyan tly, and by the light and aid of Spiritualism, I can say to them, “Get thee behind me. Satan!” and they . jo. The sort of miracle which converted tfrs. Nichols has no converting power

over me, though the priestly “father" expatiate never so unctuously, argu­mentatively or persuasively. Unless I am very tired and weary, I always listen to what they haVb to say; and I am al­ways inspired to answer—usually with blunt directness, calling a spade a spade, and a lie by its shortest name.

We read of the devil tempting Jesus, offering him all the kingdoms of the world if he would worship him. Simi­larly, the Romish emissaries “go one better" than the devil's offer to Jesus, and promise a heavenly kingdom in the world to come to those who will bow to the Romish churoh. “Get thee behind me, Satan," is the proper answer again.

Hitherto, for these many years, I have kept these things looked with in my own mind; but now, it seems to me, the full­ness of time has come to give them to the world, and I do so through the chosen medium ot T h e P r o g r e s s i v e T h i n k e r , which ^see ms to be the specially-anointed instrument raised up to oombat the foroes of Romanism.

No doubt to sbme these things will seem wild, and Romish priests and others, who are “behind the scenes,"

ill outwardly rail at them; but they are the “words of truth and soberness, and intelligent, thoughtful Spiritualists, and others, may profitably study their import, and learn a valuable lesson con­cerning the dark ways and psyohio influences set in play by the Romish church—and which nave been in the past ages, as also to-day, one of its most important and powerful methods of making Romanists, by occult as well as known psychic influences, taking often tbe form and name of miracles.

Indeed, it is a saying among Catholic proeely tes, and it was said to me, that if one is earnest to know the truth (of Ro­manism) it will be made known to him, even if it requires a miracle to convince him.

It is apparent that the false “truths" of Romanism require—and receive—the aid of false or Romish miracles to establish them; and the churoh, by virtue of long practice, has acquired ex­treme facility in “getting up" miracles as ocoeslon may demand! Wo havo only to read Romish histories and biog­raphies to demonstrate this fact in the most palpable manner. As an instance in point, let me here copy the Romish account of a miracle performed by Saint Anthony of Padua. The reader is re­quested to allow no unhallowed smile nor ungodly smirk to destroy the sober Catholic seriousness of his visage as he reads.

“No sooner w e r e i e s a y s the grave B e ll , rfl horse, unmindful of -•[ toward tho boat, In th inclining hie head, and ing on his fore feet, he in the beet manner he futed the heretic."

It is no wonder the verted! I would have myself—In fact, I think would convert the

himself.

It is related by Bellarmine [Catholic! as sober history, in his book “De Sac.

__pf «orrs to tcifiwes illPProvided—first, that the horse wnal not hypnotized; and, second, that the Horse had not previously been, taiujht the trick! I have seen horses and donkoysl perform tricks fully ns wonderful as this, and the well-known “Learneal Pig" bents this miraculous horse feat beyond compare, with telling the time] Jof day, playing a game of cards, e lc.i etc. A Chicago friend of mine had a] dog that would alt upright in a chalrl and smoke a pipe. If tho blessed saintl had only made the horse do something! difficult—suoh as flying Uke a bird; or climbing up a tree, tall foremost; or even talking, like Balaam’s remarkable ass-----, but then, the saints do not al­ways foresee the infidel doubts of later times, hence their miracles fall far] short of meeting the wants of modern! investigators. But we must not blame I them—doubtless they did the best they could; or, if they did not, their veracious historians did it for them! Either way, |the effect is all the same on the “true (believers.” Great is the power ofl Zfaith." . e ■

I it seems to us that the blessed saint,i tor his historian, ought to have wrought] a miracle that would at least transoend |in impressive dignity the wonderful deeds of “Mother Hubbard and Her] Dog," or “Whittington and His Cat,! or “Jack and the Beanstalk," and other noted miracles, renowned in nursery lore. '■ '

The query remains, whether this de­vout horse was allowed to “eat his Lord in the host," as a reward for his piety? E * ■ M

This miracle is a sample of the sort of spiritual pabulum gravely set forth by Romish historians and biographers for the delectation of the faithful.

At the time this is being written, there is published in the secular press an important item of scientific news, re­lating to a new discovery made by Frenoh scientists, which completely knocks all the props from under some of the most famous and wonderful mira­cles ever wrought in the Romish churoh. It is a way that science has, to worry the old church with its discover­ies—but then, such is the wicked and nerverse nature of science. It has al­ways had a habit of knocking out the underpinnings of the old Romish fraud; and that is why Rome has ever fought by inquisition and flame those whose discoveries have antagonized the dogmas of the churoh.

The discovery alluded to is the new science of Dermography, which explains the marks called “stigmata;" by which some devotees of the church have gained great renown and reputation for sanc­tity, as being the specially-favored ones of Jesus ana Mary, because of the'ap­pearance on the body somewhere of a cross. In the St. Antoine hospital was found a woman whose skin reddened at the slightest contact, but without any feeling of heat or irritation. With a pencil Dr. Dujardin-Beaumetz produced cabalistic inscriptions on her skin; and so astonished was he that Dr. Mesmet’s attention was called to the subject. Dr. Mesmet says: “If we take a well-sharp­ened pencil and write on the arms, shoulders or chest of this woman, we see a bright red line follow the pencil immediately. This redness lasts from six to eight hours." '

Since the first experiments, the doc­tors have found many new subjects, some suffering from no disease; others who are subject to hysteria. Army doctors are now performing experiments on their soldiers, and it is found that many havo skins so impressionable that inscriptions may be read at a distance of fifty feet and during five or six hourb.

Tbe bearing of this important new scientific discovery upon the Romish assumed miracles of the “stigmata" or­der. 1s plainly evident, as establishing their probable fraudulent and wholly unsatisfactory character. Like all the other miracles of Romish invention, the stigmata will have to be relegated to Umbo. U.

In science, says the New York IVbrbl,I there have been few really great dis­coveries in new Helds of research during the past decade, but the number oil minor discoveries and their applications to human wants and pleasures havel been greater than during the preceding ten centuries. It has been a decade oil development In every direction and on every line of material progress.

The growth in .electricity has been marvelous. Incredible to one who has not gone along with It. Twenty years ago there were only five books on elec­tricity in the United States, today an ordinary export's library numbers a thousand. The telephone of ten years ago bows to the photophone, for the scientists are now talking with each other along a beam of light—a few hun­dred feet today, a few hundred miles tomorrow. Telegraphing nas been done without wires and has been proved prac­tical. By induction' the message is now sent from a moving train, or an eleotrlo lamp is kept burning while being car­ried by hand around a house from room to room. An inexhaustible store of en­ergy, whioh may be used without gen­eration or transmission, has been found and its use at small coat is the problem now being solved.

The earth has been proved to be a “dynamo," gene'ratingreleotricity by its revolution before a great magnet—the sun. The bold suggestion of ten years ago that it might be a thermopile has been shown to have been too modest. [The problem now is how to take the electricity directly from it, to make it the storage battery for all material force of every kind necessary in labor and have it as free to the manufacturer who owns the machinery as the air and sunlight to the agriculturist.

Electricity was not “practical” until it could be fed on coal instead of zinc; until a pound of coal produced one horse-power per five minutes. It has in ten years almost reached one horse-ftower pqr hour. In the past five years t has been applied to 40 per cent, of the

street railways of the country.' In fac­tories, in mines, in mills, in metal work­ing, wherever drudgery is to be done or force exerted, the new servant does bet­ter and cheaper work than the old. It is used in place of dynamite even for blasting rooks, and the “dot brush" now gives light and heat without consuming any material—reproducing the sun and explaining its nature.

The inventions and applications in the electric field are too many to even tally. Ten patent^ are granted daily, a hun­dred new applications are made hourly. Ten years ago the eleotrlo plants in the United States numbered thirty-nine, with a capital of $1,298,300, employing 549 persons. Today the plants in the United States number 3.000, having 8700,000,000 capital invested and 623,000 people engaged in the work. It has in­creased In ten years a thousandfold here, and we are not ahead of other civ­ilized countries. But this is as nothing to the future progress, when the Welsh ‘converter," by whioh a feeble current

can be raised to an enormous voltage and a Grove battery aotually emptied in a minute, are surrendered to commer­cial uses. The “transformers" are now in use, and by them a current can be carried over a hundred miles with a loss of but 28 per cent. As the power pro­ducing the ourrent costs nothing usual­ly, as in the first power-house estab­lished a* tho water-fall of Lauffen-on-the- Neokar, this loss is of little moment; hut here in New York harbor an iron hulk in the salt water of the bay has been used to light and heat a house on shore. The faint ourrent running through the wire, felt only by a Thompson's galvan­ometer. was sufficient when passed through converter* to show a voltage of 120. The dynamo may have, after all, but a brief reign.. Gothenburg, sup­plied with eleotrlo power from the falls of Trqllhatta, set an example which twel veto the r towns- have followed, and Niagara Falls will soon cease to bo any­thing but a natural forco owned by aftrivate corporation and sold to the pub- Lo at voltage rates. It is a race be­

tween tho transformer and the con­verter.

Next to eloctrloity, no branch of science shows suoh progress as bacterl- ology. Prof. Rudolph Emmerich has proved that nine* tenths of all diseases of man and animals are caused by baotoria, and the whole energy of nearly a thou­sand of tho greatest minds in science is directed to ridding mankind of the cause of infectious diseases. The re­searches of Kooh, Kitasato. Krelger. Huppe, Saulsbury and Seholl have noi only pointed out the bacilli of tubercu­losis, influenza and tetanus, but they have successfully killed the germs. Saulsbury’a proscription for influenza and Neneke'a for tetanus have beenBraved specifics—good in all cases.

[oohV inoculation for consumption failed at first to give the hoped-for re­sults, but perfect success is only a mat­ter of short time.

Asiatic cholera has been proved by Kooh to be a malignant disease of the blood, qftused by myriads of the “com-,

The advancement in sanitary science | has greatly reduced the death-rate of cities. For the decade ending i860 in New York it was 3,366 per 100,000; for the decade ending 1890 It was 2.524, an average increase of longevity of nearly

' ten years. The decrease in mortality | may be expected to continue, for solenoo has turned its attention to the question of food, and not only the deleterious nature of certain preparations is made clear, but the Legislatures are yearly called upon to make adulterations statu­tory offenses. The researches of 8auls- bury show that nearly every disease can I bo produced, even without adulteration,] by diet, and the proper preparation of food is now a regular study.

The cure of dipsomania by nitrate of strychnia or bichloride of gold injec­tions has been one of the wonders of the decade. Over one million persons have been cured by the Keeley treatment, and every oity and town in tho world has its olub.

In medioine and surgery there have been great advances. Hypnotism has widely superseded tbe use of anaesthet­ics; harmless amylene is used In place of chloroform. Hundreds of new remedies have been found.

In astronomy tho ten years have added a fifth moon to Jupiter, discovered by Prof. Barnard. Sept.. 10, 1892; gives Venus one revolution on its axis in seven and one-half months instead of in twenty three hours and twenty-one minutes,

i still taught in the country schools;meas I urod the satellites of Mars with the mi­crometer and found the previous guesses wrong; knocked off 2,000,000 miles of the estimated mean distance of the earth from the sun, which is now given at 92,_ 050,000, and begun a complete photo­graphic atlas of the heavens, which will map many hundred of millions of stars.

The progress in astronomy is specially marked by the abandonment of the twenty-four-hour rotation of Venus, and this will probably soon be foUowed by practical abandonment of the “combus­tion" theory of the sun and many other untenable hypotheses, long accepted as facts.

The publication in 1888 of the cosmog ony of the ancient Hindoos, upon which the astronomy of the Chaldeans was based, has shown that they were eloser touch with modern science than the astronomers of today; that the an cient hypotheses were more in aoeord ance with our experience than the lat­ter. Heliography has within the decade been enriched with many publications' all tending to show that the sun is not “burning up,” but a magnet or dynamo, heated to incandescence without com­bustion by the electrical currents of the solar system, for which it is a focus, and that gravity and apergy are but the two forms of magnetism known here as posi­tive and negative. These are the teach ings of the ancients.

The discrepancies between astronomi­cal theories and the facts of other branches of science have been pointed out at length by many writers, and the groundwork laid for a reconstruction of astronomical science on harmonic lines without disturbing any of the practical astronomical work of the past.

In anthropology the decade has shown an advance that is disturbing to many minds. Not only the presence of man on the earth for many million years has been proven by evidence that cannot be questioned, but his presence, as he now. before the anthropomorphic apes has been established. There has been no differentiation during millions of

In engineering there have been great ] strides. The quadruple expansion en­gine and the compound locomotive are lbut two of twenty-five mechanical de­vices that have Increased man's power | over machinery. In electrical engineer­ing the degree of E. EL has been made at many colleges. To fill the demand for war vessels marlno engineering has produced a fleet that in 1883 was not! even coined in tho imagination. The four 10.000-ton ships that had then led | the British navy now fall into second and third places and 15,000-ton battle­ships take the post of honor. Ten years ago 8,000 horse-power was tbe limit and but one vessel had it, the Alexandria. Today tho same tonnage (9,000) cruisers, like the Blake, have 20,000 horse-power, and 8,000 is considered the minimum for fighting ships. Our “commerce des­troyers” will have 21,000, and our two cruisers 16,500, hut here we stop. The largest of the armored vessels of our new navy are hut 10,231 tons, and of these we havo hut three built and build­ing; three of 8,150 tons and two 6,000 tons. Our “White Squadron” is unar­mored and composed of small vessels of little speed—15 to 19 knots. Our pro

I nave heard him relate enough of his [experience that would make him a Spiritualist as much as I am, and every­body knows I am one. I have great re* epeot for those who have the courage of their convictions, especially if the sub­ject is an off-color one. and unpopular as Spiritualism is; but it is fast growing respectable, and Mr. Savage, by hla open hospitality to it, is doing a good deal In making it respectable. So I like Mr. Savage’s course, and think him wise in calling himself an investigator instead of a believer, feeling sure hla trend of thought and investigation is in the right direction, and will end in per­fect belief. I am not one of those who criticise him because he likes better company than Spiritualists for his men­tal and religious associates, for I am of the same opinion myself. Some o^ the

The publication ten years ago of Don) nelly’s “Atlantis” was an epoch. R el

| celved at first with laughter, it is now) acoepted as one of the most valuable Ool oldental contributions to the history of] the race. The Atlantcans are no longer considered fabulous, but an actual peo-Ejle, accepted as the progenitors of tho| Egyptians and Mayrns alike. Archaeological discoveries on this]

continent have fully confirmed the h yl pothoses of 1882. that it was onoe the] seat of a splendid civilization. Each year has been prolific of discoveries of fine carvings, paintings, writings on] copper and stone, and other remains of] a highly civilized race antedating the mound-builders.

The publication of the “Secret Doc- trino,” the ancient temple teaching of the Brahmins oonoerning the origin of man, has caused a general revival of In­terest in anthropology all over the civil­ized world. Aooordlng to this, the last of the Atlantcans in the Atlantic is­lands, wore destroyed 12,000 years ago, after an exlstenoe for tho race of 800,- 000 years. The Egyptians were tbe remnants of far eastern Atlantean tribes

we had noth log. I__Great improvements have been made

in the armaments of war vessels. Smoke­less powder, ten years ago the secret of the government, is now made for all. The pneumatlo gun has been made a success. Many new explosives have been added to the list.

Chemistry has been reconstructed during the past ten years in regard td i t s ' foundations. The . “hypothetical" ether has been proven a fact and divid­ed into “two or more" kinds. Rama Rasad’a “Finer Forces of Nature," trans­lated In 1889, showing the wave vibra­tions of five of the seven ethers, has re­inforced Prof. Crooke's theories in re­gard to the constitution of atoms. Sound has been produoed both by -light and color. The existence of more than oneFilane of matter has been demonstrated, n proving the inst-ructability of force it

has been rendered highly probable that the forces of this plane are the “mat­ters” of a plane above or outside of it.

The most practical work in chemistry has been a substitute for coal, made from petroleum, at a much less cost.

A substitute for sugar, made from coal tar, has become commercially profita­ble. Fine cloth is now made from wood fibret and artificial wood is made from waste paper.

In the arts, in manufactures,in every­thing that gives man power over his follows by control of the supply of their wants, science is adding daily new dis­coveries at a rate which makes it impos­sible to keep more than an imperfect record. The progress of science can be properly measured only by the increase in wealth and power of the civilized por­tion of mankind, and that increase dur­ing the past deoade has been greater than during any previous century.

T. E. Wilson.Ignorance, or Hypocrisy?

One of the dally papers of this city, almost if not entirely alone In its ad­vocacy of “Sunday-closing," advances the faot of night-openings as a good reason for not opening on Sundays—the workingmen can visit the Fair nights, hence there is no need -to open it on | Sunday.■ Y es, Mr. Workman and Mrs. Work­man, work hard all day, till you are tired and weary, with need of rest—and then the kind-hearted, good Sabbatarians |will give you the privilege of taking [your weary bodies to the Fair and drag­ging your tired limbs around half of the night to enjoy the sight of things—then you can go home and sleep two or three hours (perhaps, and perhaps leqp) and then hustle up and go to work agalnr You oan take your choice: Do this, or] [lose time and needed wages on week |days, or stay away from the Fair entire­ly. You may work hard all day and) visit the Fair at night—and by so doing Ivlolato God's laws of life and health, imd planted in your physical constitution) and it is all right In the eyes of squeaml ish Sabbatarians, who, oontrary to St.! Paul’s teachings, mako their own oonl solenoes judges of other people (“Why should I be judged of another man’s conscience?” asked Paul), but it is an awful sin to visit the Fair on that “great and venerable day of the Sun," which,f by command of the heathen murderer and Emperor, Constantine, was meta­morphosed into “the Lord's day,” and by Romish priests—and thence by Protest­ant preachers—styled the “Holy Sab­bath Day.” It is not the Sabbath Insti­tuted by Moses as a holy day of rest. .

The ignorance, or th e h yp ocrisy—or the “cheek”—of a Sabbatarian zealot Is, after its kind, a subject for adm iration

tude of people, but we know even Spirit- I )uallsts—good ones—don't always like to own up to the fact in promiscuous com­pany, and 1 must say if I bad known as ) much thirty-odd years ago as I know now, I would do as Mr. Savage does— give it an understanding, but no tongue. - H e sometimes says: “One fact, and one alone, will prove it, and that foot is an intelligence that is present and active, that is not the Intelligence of any . of the embodied persons present." Well, I have had that “one fact" so many times that I am as sore that man survives the death of his body as I am of any sensuous foot that I can think of, and one of Mr. Savage’s utterances, that I heard him utter myself, is this: “To establish the claim of modern Spiritual­ism there is a body of evidence that would be regarded as conclusive proof on any other proposition whatsoever." I certainly cannot conceive why such evi­dence, that would be conclusive on any­thing else, should not be in this import­ant one, which mankind wants to know to-day more than anything else: whether death is the end; so I have had the courage of my convictions, and. taken my chances, but if I had roiled the subject under my tongue as a sweet morsel and kept it to myself, and called myself an investigator, my condition to­day, in a financial, worldly and social sense, would be better than it is. Our hjndsight is apt to be better than our foresight, but perhaps it may be better in the end that I was influenced other­wise; but I certainly appreciate and ap­prove of Mr. Savage's attitude, whioh £ consider wise; am glad of his caution. As he says, it is better to wait than to be deceived: and I must say by his inter­est in psychical matters, and the way he speaks of this great truth, he is do­ing more good to this cause than any speaker of the Spiritualist order, and is lifting the subject up into respectabil­ity more than any one in our ranks, and does in that direction what a regular believer cannot do. So I say: All hall to Mr. Savage, the careful investigator! in due time we shall find him a bright and shining light In our constellation as he is now in the constellation of Unit tarianism, and can shine in both orders* as well as in one; for the ethics is Spirit! ualism are not in conflict with Liberal ] Christianity.

Well, this is an introduction only tq what I intend to say of his Easter Sun­day sermon, which will not be in any sense a report of his many wise words* only to say it was highly spiritual, ana isuch as any pronounced Spiritualist would say amen to. He did not, hf said, propose to speak of immortality! * but some of its possible oonditions, sun

Jposlng we are immortal: he began m remarking that he had lately been talk . ing with a well-known religious teach di on this subject, who said that though Phi thought that there might be a futv life, yet try as he would, he could ir conceive of any possible rational conak tlon for a man to exist in a future state Mr. Savage, after stating that fact,* salt he proposed to speak of what he oon sidered a rational condition for man in ( future life, or that seemed to him pow sible and rational; he did not say tnej were the oonditions, but were possible and perfectly rational, and science could I not object, as unsolentifio. He that elaborated his ideas, and these were ex< actly what Spiritualism teaches, and what we, as Spiritualists, all believe.

After saying it was very easy for ths ancient world to oonoeive of a rational future—this was then a small earth in the center of a small universe, the sky a dome above us, and beyond that, heaven and a throne, where God sat. Man died, and his place wasJbelow the earth; that there would be a resurrec­tion day and a day of judgment, and the good would go to heaven and dwell for­ever with God and the angels, and tho

P A R T II.CHAPTER XXIVr—CONTINUED

“At tho lost moment 1 could not enter. I had sought at every Shrine; I had ministered at every sanctuary;' I had taken every degree of knowledge offered by the sages. The Magi had dieoloeed to me all their wisdom and lore; bat there, as the uttermost and innermost revelation Invited me to enter and stand face to face with Ormazd, and become one of the Sons of Light, a great white light fell upon me, welled up from within my soul, suffused me with Us glory, and sold: 'Not there—not there is the (kingdom of Light.'

“ Knowing all that was to come to you here, I returned to the little sanctuary, meeting Hlejoh, unknown to him, us he also entered there, and together we received the last blessing on earth of Joavannah the saint, the priest, the recluse, the scholar, to whom, more than anyone who ever walked the earth, I am Indebted for the spiritual knowledge, the little of wisdom and truth that are mine.

“ I was here when our beloved Zelda came, and before her pure spirit took its flight—1 was here, hat did not dare to break the seal of silence lest the shock might prove too great for her to bear.

“ I foresaw all that waa coming to Zulieka, and often in the tower, when she would climb to that height, I would tall her of the ■tan, of many an inner mystery.

“ When thou, Arm and, wert gone back to England, I kept watchful guard, ever passing between here and tho sanctuary to see thnt all was well with Zulieka. When thou didst return 1 more and more withdrew, bat sometimes came, siding my pupil ns of yore, but finding him a matter of his science.

“ 1 resolved to retom to my own, to the outer world again. So, ■ending to the shrines, sanctuaries and temples every vestment, every symbol, every sacred relic, and promising again to seal mv lips forever concerning what is never known outside the temples, I devoted a portion of my time to becoming one again with mankind.I come, with the nnconsoions aid of Hlejoh, and with the guidance of the unseen realm, to celebrate my Zalieka'a fifteenth birthday.

“ Yea, the day and night on which I revealed myself was her fifteenth birthday! You had all forgotten, or were so occupied with the inspired ohild that you did not recall i t And now, led by the Lord of Light, 1 come to you, my dearly beloved Zulieka, to learn of the Kingdom of Heaven. 1 return to you, Armand, to walk by your side, and to your dear ones all, to be your friend and com­panion until summoned hence by Ormuzd. '*

Armand embraced Rajahetti again and again; Seon and Maud were in tears; Mahavida turned away to hide his many conflicting emotions, or------

“Shall I continue?” asked Rajahetti, turning his venerable face folly toward Mahavida.

“O, yes! continue," they all said, except Zulieka.Mahavida was silent bnt an instant, then said: “ Continue."“Thou bearest a charmed life, Hiejoh, and the foil mystery of

thy birth, of thy human form, are only revealed at the inner shrine where thou hast been. I have known thee since the moment of thy birth, and lest thy mother be condemned and called accursed because of thy deformity (thou knowe&t I spesk in love, and these are friends) I took thee to my home and explained to no one thy parentage. Thon wert the child of Jaavannab, who, being a Parsee (however great and gifted among his own people), was regarded as inlerior to her wIiq consented to be his bride. A Buddhist may not] marry into an alien race, nor beneath her rank, bat this thy mother, M&ynah, did, and was rejected by all her people except her brother, Mahavida, my lifelong friend and brother. The isolation from her people soon caused her to pine and die, although Jaavannab was most devoted; he then entered the priesthood, taking holy orders. He and I alone shared the secret of thy birth; not even did Maha­vida know; but thon, dear Hlejoh, hast been a blessing to us all, and thy great soul is folly revealed."

“Shall I proceed?" he again asked Mahavida.“ Proceed," and Mahavida turned bis face toward Rajahetti

and toward another of the group with hungry longing.“For a woman who is a Buddhist to marry a Parsee is exclu­

sion from her caste forever; for a man is disgrace, bnt not after exclusion; yet he may never wear holy orders nor hold place of great trust or position among his kind. Mahavida married a Parsee woman, as lovely as Znlielu, and so like her that at the same age one would almost be taken for the other.

“This may somewhat explain Mahavida's position, and why be is not more of a Buddhist, and why he finds his ligbtr- and kingdom here, as do we alL The Buddhist concealed his marriage, but his wife was my sister. She also has gone into the great beyond, but thon, Seon, art her child; behold thy father!"

v. * * - . # • • * * •“ 1 knew It—I knew we were all one, at least, in the Kingdom

of Heaven I” exclaimed Zulieka.“ And that kingdom is here and now," said Mahavida.

“TIIY WILL BE DONE." fHlejoh had gone away; search for him as they 'most, inquire as

they did, pray* as they did, without ceasing, still he did not return.

The lingering lotas blooms delayed, the lilies were loth to fade, until he again appeared, and the night winds refused long while to wing (so thought Zulieka) because he came not.

He had returned tho sacred moonstone to Rajahetti, knowing that he, in due time, could place the gold chain that held it around the neck of Zulieka, and it would be hers forever while life on earth remained.

He had placed everything in order, as was his wont, and had tqot failed in attending to the smallest detail. He bad replenished bu'e chalice at the Shrine in the garden as he had daring all the *n jots since their return from England to live in their first Eden, sSM the next morning after the marvelous revelations of Rajahetti Boe, to which Hlejoh listened with rapt attention and ever-increas­ing brightness on his face, he waa gone, utterly, absolutely, they knew not whither.

To Zulieka he left this message:“ Pair and heavenly child, enshrined in thee Is a doarly beloved

soul. Ia long past ages I have known thee. In a past time I waa cruel unto thee in another life and form than this.

“ My present life has been my expiation; If 1 have served thee and thine, or done aught to make more smooth the path for thy tender feet; if aught that 1 have done.has seemed acceptable unto thee and tbiue, then la my soal satisfied.

“Do not seek for me. Do not long for me. Do not mourn my absence.

“Beloved child, thou art safe with thine own. Thon cnlercst upon thy glorious career. Adieu. Farewell."

From Jerusalem, the sacred city of the Jews and Christiana, il two doves brought each a message:

“ Alas," wrolo tho Hebrew, “our ancient altars are overrun with Mohammedans, and besieged by Christians. The Temple of 1 Jehovah la no longer here."

And the Christian wrote: “ No longer in Jerusalem do men Meoar Lord. Perhaps Ha abldeth ia Rome, or In the lands beyond Hellenic shone. Thou didst say he abldeth within."

One other dove was wandering—whither, ah, whither? Oft did Zulieka from tha tower watch the eJabirds as they clove the air |

I with long arrowy wings; watched them as they came clamoring 1 I into port with the newly-arrived man-of-war or ships of commerce; | often at night did she think she heard the fluttering of wings against! the casement, or the tender call of her wanderers asking to I come in.

“He has gone away, like Hiejoh, to dwell with the devaa, and will never return," she murmured.

Sho would often waken from sleep and say softly ‘to herself: “ 1 thought Hlejoh was without; perhaps the wandering dove has returned."

KIND K ID .

Seon and Mahavida, and Maud, whenever she could be spared from her baby daughter, Zulu, were constantly together.

Seon was perfecting bis astronomical works, with the potent, masterful aid of RajahetU, under the almost dally instruction of the ■tarry ones through tho lips of Zulieka.

Mahavida, with most reverent spirit, was preparing for future publication the teachings, spiritual, divine, that came from the souls in paradise altered by tho wonderful child, the maiden celestially endowed, Zulieka.

Maud, who had expanded into an artist, one of rare merit, drew all her inspiration, all suggestions of tints and coloring, all her forms and combinations from the word-pictures of Zulieka, and from what her preeenoe suggested.

“The Spirit of tho Lotus Bloom," “ An Odalosquo," “The Dream of Paradise,"such were the titles of some of her ideal pic­tures, while her floral paintings and drawings havo never been excelled.

“Ah!" she would exclaim, half baffled, “ If 1 could paint Zulieka as she stands among her doves; if I could infuse the spirit of what she seems to me into a picture, theis I would be willing to die.”

“Die fo u r th you surely will, my little artist (may it be long years hence), but you can never put Zulieka's spirit into a picture," said Seon, who now that it was known by the household group that he was the son of one of the most honored and respected of all the Buddhistic‘scholars in Ceylon, was discovered to bear a very strong resemblanoe to Mahavida.

“ ON E A R T H ."

“ After this the millenium," said Mr. Broadbent to his associ-l atea when the full measure of Armand’s dispossession was realized, and its full scope and effect understood.

They had fulfilled to the uttermost that could then be done all of Armand’s wishes.

The people had come into their possessions with great rejoio ing, sorely, but with great thanksgiving and prayerfulness.

Had Armand been in England he would have found himself at once the most hated and most beloved of mortals.

“He has gone stark mad," said one of the peers.“ He is a fanatic," said another.

. “ He has established a very dangerous precedent," said a mild Conservative.

“ He has brought us what none other could give—our freedom. And that will lead to the freedom of all the British isles," said Mr. Broadbent

“He is greater than any man on earth," said the people.Parliament hod been prorogued, and on reassembling Mr.

Freeman, Mr. Horsley and Mr. Broadbent, with their coadjutors, forced an issue, and the question went before the people.

The two hundred thousand added voters, property and land holders, made so by Armand’s choice, carried the elections, changed the ministry, and resulted in a law extending the* franchise to all male householders.

Four other measures which will perform for England what Armand did for those counties will then eomplete the works of reform in England for which he labored.

When will they become laws? Faithful, devoted, zealous, long-serving men in and out of Parliament, the day ye look for will dawn.

Nor will the Great Revolution pause until from the impending new heaven is ontwrought the glad, beautiful new earth.

“ AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."

The earth trembled like a drop of dew upon the azure bosom of space.

The continents were outlined dimly; the seas were aglow with iridescent flame; around and o'er the Kingdoms of earth brooded such calm os is a prophecy to paradise. Kings rested on their long troubled pillows; queens sank to rest without dread of the assassin' knife or the torch of tho revolutionist; toilors forgot tljeir wear! ness, and were hushed to sleep*/ paupers dreamed their rags were purple robes; sufferers forgot to moan; prisoners saw freedom wait­ing at the prison bars, and heard and felt no more the clanking chains.

The tempests, too, were hushed; the dread miasmata no more wandered o'er the earth, awakening pestilence. Tho wild beasts remained in their lairs, or went forth gently to find food for thotr young; the serpent's fangs were aseloss, and , the birds of prey no longer waited for their viotlms.

The seas were calm; o'er their dazzling waters only soft breezes came, wafting the odors of a myriad flowers. The roses bore no thorns that year, and all tho Eden lands of earth were paved and crowned with flowers. LUlos remained fadeless for days and weeks, and then vanished without decay.

lias it never occurred to you that the noxious things opoo1 earth, the creeping things, the venomous things, those that are uawieldly and unseemly, are but the typical representations of the Conditions of mind and thought here; and when there shall be no more envies nor strivings, no more were nor discord, no more slen­ders nor venomous stings, there will be no need of serpents, no need of poisonous insects, no need of poisonous plants? That the oat- ward la bat the typical representation of the inward, and that the ■plrit of all life flowing through matter represents the mental state of man in connection with matter, and of spirit moving upon man, until finally he works oat bis redemption through these means? And has it also not occurred to you that through the glimpses of spirit­ual life that you have obtained, these pathways and experiences, numberless in their nature, must continue from world to world and star to star, and that spiritual life does not abide simply In cue, within itself, as an essence and os u life, but that spirit continues to exercise its powers and its thought upon matter, until through all those changes of existence every possible phase of expression is given to the dust, and the atom is transformed and transfigured into every variety of shado, because man Is eternal? And has it not also occurred that in those thoughts and lives that shall be multiplied innumerably, the angelio states also increase in power and glory, until every planet having its own angelic states repre­sents a degree higher and higher? All are but as a starry pathway to the infinite soul, the source of being; that, as a spiral stairway, ascends and revolves, as suns and systems move round their centres, but also move through space round other and more distant centres, so all souls are in ter blent and interlinked by those wondrous cords of life that upon one planet and another unite, bind and link them together, until they become as those wonderful beings for whom there is no name upon earth, and no language to portray.

I t ia a mistake which most minds make-—the feebleness of the earthly contemplation causes this—that life om earth is measured by say the three-score-ycars-and-ten; and Spirit-life fa measured by a few hundred or thousand years. Beyond this the ..thought of eternity hag not dared to grasp; and the mind of the average human being no more can contemplate the unending nature of eternity than child can contemplate the distance between the earth and son, or between the son and the remotest planet that you perceive with your

material senses. Bnt when the magnitude of this problem Unfolded to the spirit, when the consciousness of it takes even an approximate possession of the mind,' then bow narrow, then how small and vain become the daily cares and usages of life, save that they but serve the purposes of the spirit in one portion of its immor­tal existence.

You are traveling an endless jonrney; you pause a moment by the wayside for refreshment, or to perform a needful act; that paus­ing has nothing to do in the performance of your jonrney; the ulti­mate is in view; bat in the wayside of human life, where yon are pausing, laboring for a time, one would think that this was the begin ning and the end, and likewise journey—that all hopes and aspire tions were centered here, and that the immortal pilgrimage was to be left out of the question, or only considered as secondary to that whioh lies veiled in the material senses.

When the awakening of the spirit comes; when the celestial light finally beams upon our eye; when there is a dawning of the fact that angelic existence constitutes the eternal pilgrimage of the soal, and that the terrestrial, spiritual nature, and that which links man to earth by his terrestrial appetite, is but the transient and the fleeting, and that this transient and fleeting existence is bat as youj would take on an armor to descend into the sea, or take on the rei ment of a climate to protect you from the atmosphere—that thus do you take on the outward habitation, that you may the more enter into, become a part of, and form an experience, upon the earth—how great then will life become! how majestie its final purpose! how vast the wonders that enfold it! how beautiful its solemn import IQ

The diver in the ocean's depths lives there only for the treasure he shall find, while from the atmosphere above, through the tube! that communicates, be is enoouraged and sustained to gather the treasure for whioh he has descended, so man in the outward life immured, wears around himself the am or that shall protect him from the external forces, tho organio body, formed of the same ele­ments with which he has to contend, and, therefore, a protection; while from the upper air all of the breath, all of the encouragement, all of the vitalizing life, must come to him while he is searching here for the ono treasure of knowledge, for the one treasure of truth, for the one treasure of human experience that shall be a portion of his immortal kingdom.

Beautiful as this contemplation is in connection with earth, varied as its suggestions are, how vast does the multitudeof thoughts become when viewed in connection with the infinite life, tho eternal being I World upon world, star upon star, the approaching light of which is yet unknown to you and unperceived,standing now upon the outermost brink of life, bordering now upon blindness and lack of consciousness, as man is, how shall he enter step by step into that vast and wondorful arena of existence of which the worlds them- solves are bnt the substanoe, and planets are but tho oxternnl struc­ture! of whioh systems are bnt portions of the ontward fabric, while the life itself is intricately intorwoven in sublime archways, in

and just so much of its brightness as snail penetnto through tha outward clay will add to the radiance and splendor of the earthly sphere In whioh you move, will make the world more beautiful,, will moke more flowers blossom In the springtime, and cause the earth itself to be more glad. Why do 1 tell you of these things? Because oven an effort at their contemplation will uplift the spirit from the petty turmoil and the groveling care of dull life, from the treadmill of external existence, and the contemplation of those divine treas­ures that belong to the spirit only; because It will make the burden of life more easy to be borne, make knowledge more easy of attain­ment, will lead you to understand fully that which Is important, to select from life’s experience that which is valuable, to cast aside that which is burdensome and a trainnie! to the spirit, and to choose that [which shall lead moat directly to a thorough knowledge of tho pur­pose for which man la hero on earth.

■ I f I-tell yon that science la not valuable to the attainment of these things, it ia not because I would have you neglect science, but it is because I would have you use it only oa the stepping atone for higher things. If I tell yon that material life itself Is not eternal; nor that this fabric which you inhabit today shall abide for­ever, it Is not that you may neglect it, bnt that while yon remain in it you shall make the most of your opportunities for knowledge jhich it will give you of the things that are enduring—for Ihp use that yon can employ it in, in making possible a contemplation of jtheso loftier spiritual things. If I speak to yon of the nature of the human understanding as being valueless to the contemplation of spiritual things, it is because I would have you cultivate the spirit­ual understanding, and use the external for outward purposes only, [while the spiritual shall pervade and permeate for works and words of the spiritual. If I tell you that the earthly life is not even as a second of time compared to eternity, it is not that you shall neglect that second of passing time, but that you shall employ it for {he very best purpose and highest end; that as you would gather the dew- drop on the flower before the sun's rays absorb it, or as In the fleet­ing moment of prayer or love yon would grasp • a treasure ere it evades you, so I would have you gather from each moment its own fruitage for eternity, its own treasure for the immortal kingdom, its own essential spirit of life and light and loveliness.

The days and hours of earthly existence go by; they weave themselves into years; and man, in idle dreaming or useless conten­tion, monrns because they pass away so soon, while every hour is freighted with an eternal promise,and every moment infilled to over-’ flowing with the golden drop of eternal life that falls like beaded dew upon the flower of human life. Yon will not grasp nor gather because yon say It is only a drop of dew, bnt of such is the nectar composed that it finally illumines the spirit and awakens it to immor­tal consciousness; of snehis the life composed that finally strung together makes up the golden chain of existence; of each passing moments and hours, and the fullness of spiritual life which they may bring, is that eternity fashioned of which I am speaking; and the archangel might pause to bohold one perfect moment of human life, when the soul forgets the outward self and is only conscious of eternity

Again the heavens were opened.pressed close to the time barriers as Zerah and Omar sped once] more into the shadows, bearing this argent messago:

“Open, ye shining ranks; open, ye celestial portals of angels; open ye spheres of light ineffable; open, ye realms of innermost, uttermost bliss; open, ye states unknown to those who have not fonnd tho perfect life; open, ye star and sanglrt spheres, ye soul and love-crowned kingdoms! A soul returns', a complete and perfect angel is here!"

Through the hushed earth-space where spirits (earth-bound) could not know the passing glory, through the twilight and interven­ing states, Zelda and Armand, a sphere of perfect light, were wel­comed by the angelio host, for ' 'those who are truly married on earth, in heaven are one angel."

The celestial sphere opened, opened like a heavenly lotus- blossom, showing even in tho shadowed day-dawn of earth a glory like unto the innermost heaven.

The flj.fr was fall of doves—whirling, dipping, rising, skimming, swirling,over, under, round, cleaving the sir with wondrous wings.

Doves, doves, dotes, circling around ono who (paused not, nor stayed its flight for ail tho winged welcome.

“ Welcome, welcome," oooed the doves; “ wolcome—welcome home. Ooo-o, oooo, coop."

The seraphim and cherabim ‘pillars, in Wbndorful and gloaming figures of spiritual life? Notlight of planets nor tho sun’s rays nor beaming of myriads of moons ■hall deck his pathway; not the glory of earth and stars, nor tho! splendor of tho firmament, lighted by those sublime centres, bat the life that glows from within, the luminous powor of the soul itself, piercing tho dust and ranking all tho clay of all worlds glorious by its presence; not tho subllmo mechanism that fades away and crumbles in tho ashes of temple and pyramid, but the wonderful structure of thought that each outward experience brings, that oach planet reveals to the soal, that oach new life of angelio existence unfolds to tho thought of man; an eternity of experience, and etern­ity of knowledge, angels mado angels thousands of times, and the thought of that knowledge unfolding more and more before the vision.

You look upon tho angol-lifo to-day ns a far of? dream, as an inheritance doubtful, as a speculation porchonco, and tho spirits of terrestrial grade grasp feebly at tho contemplation of the* wondora hore portrayed; bnt by long lives of tribulations, by experiences with­out number, they pass up and beyond and through the ontward atmosphere into the door light of tho eolostial kingdom, bearing with thorn only tho lesson which their experience gives, and only Such memories aa will olotho the thought and tho spirit forever in the divine garment of love.

for truth's own sake. L_I have seen by the very gateway of human life an angel pause and

hover on attendant thought, and seen that angel's face grow luminous and glorious with the contemplation of a scone on earth. Was it of a crowned king? Was It of the splendor of a material pageant? Was it of the glory and transport of wealth? ambition? warfare? Was it, any outward adornment that men can bring? Was it tribute to intellectual greatness and power? Was it outward beauty? None of these. 'It was that upon the earth the Angel of Love bad touched some human heart to self-forgetfulness, and for the time being there was only rapture between earth and heaven. It was that some brow of some saint, or some lofty, hereto soul hod boon sunk to self-forgetfulness In redress of human wrong, had touched the breath of angels with their tongue, growing eloquent not for themselves but for mankind. It was when martyred souls, unconscious of flame and fire, have breathed out their prayers of forgiveness to humanity, while the brow was leaning against the hand of God and touched by angel pinions. It was when, target­ing the outward bond of flesh ana the tie of maternal affection, some earthly parent hod yleled up the treasure of life to the immortal king* dom without a murmur save, “Thy will be done." It was when on Cavalry Christ, forgetful of himself and compassionate only tar those who had done this great injustice, could show 'twist them and God the divine spirit of forgiveness, and ask that it he not remembered against them. ■ flt

Thes&aro the momenta, these the golden hours that fill life's ohallce and formrthe stars in the Armament of earthly time. I gather no names from all the ranks of history that shall shine with suoh splendor, t 1 gather no storied treasures from tomes and volumes of human lore. I gather no Inspiration of this kind from that power whioh ambition has given, nor from the pathway of human kings, hut from exalted souls jmade eloquent by consciousness of love, from feat purpose whioh Illumines and uplifts, I soo many stars that have risen above the night of time, grown glorious In their light, and passed to the constellations of eternity.■Even thus would I have your days and moments numbered: ’oven

thus would I have your aspirations filled, until life's ohalloe shall not be Ivold and vacant as now, or filled with bitter ashes and the burnt tokens [of regrets—filled with memories that have faded,and passing; hopes that were fleeting as an outward vision—but filled with life-giving dews and snored memories and lofty hopes, each one an eternity, eaoh one enjqyed In a moment of time. Oh, euolimo abnogatlbh! Oh, wonderful lesson of the Christ-man, descending to tell man dot?to save himself, but to ccm o to love himself In loving others; lofty vision of angel-life that bursts tho bonds of the outward flesh, tears asunder the selfishness, the pride, the ambition, that humbles the king upon his throne, and exalts tho peasant by the wayside. In the contemplation of unselfish faith and " hope and love. Of such glimpses is the Immortal heritage composed, ana of suoh I would have you add day by day and hour by nour to these sublime and lofty thoughts. Tho pathway of angels Is not fashioned by J those things that men most worship and adore, Is not won as the path­way to fame Is, by outward conquest, or the pathway to- Intellectual powor, by triumph over terms and technicalities of earth; Is not won by any visible way of outward warfare when man takes on the armor ana goos forth to fight a given foe, but Is won by those gentle and silent droppings, the wearing and tearing of daily life, the perpetual grinding of tho mills of the gods, that grind away the dust and leave the angel clear and pure. As the lapidary from the rough stone hews the spark­ling gem, as out of toll and pain and agony or summer growth oomos forth the burnished lily and the blooming rose, as from struggling ages the fruit-tree yields Its heritage to the world, and purple vine orowns the hills because of the throes of pain whioh the earth has endured, so is man outwrought,so is the angel born,so Is the dally life tho tost of the state within; and man does notTeap from imperfeotlon in human life to tho crown of angolhood in ono moment, nor by a single breath or grade. That faith whlon makes angels is the faith also that orowns life with perfect deeds; that faith whioh fits you tar tho pathway of the stars, and makes tho stellar walk but seem as a flowery gateway to thq eternal kingdom, is not the pathway of single victory over belief, but of the daily ana hourly thought; toe conquest over tho thought of self; the conquost over any wiin for self; the conquest over the dally and hourly walk; the desire, the ambition, the appetite, the passion, all—all van­quished, and the spirit awakened, triumphant and freed because of this; triumphant yet filled with humility; free but unoonsolous In that as Is the illy in Its whiteness, or the rose In its fragrance, or the star In Its shining glory.

forI T believe, however, that anyone who, when

compelled to choose between what he holds to be the truth end life, sacrifices his life that he may remain loyal to his conscience, is a mar­tyr. The martyrdom of the Moslem is as glorious as that of the Christian, and the mar­tyrdom of the Christian as glorious as that of the philosopher, for in each case the motive is the same—love of truth more than life. Our sympathies are with the martyr, whether j he be Pagan or Christian, against his execu-r tioner; with the oppressed against the op­pressor. We are with Prometheus chained to the rock, against the avenging vulture tear­ing his flesh.

There is, however, one distinction. We acquire heroism under whatever form it may appear, and yet while the martyrs of the popu­lar faith were supported in their agonizing trials by the hope of an immediate and eternal recompense, these others found in their phil­osophy their sole support. The former, in dying, beheld through the flames by the eye of faith the gates of Paradise flung open, a crown of gold, a throne on the right hand of God, prepared for them for their reward. The latter saw no snch inspiring vision, but died because they believed in the inviolability of conscience, because they preferred death for the truth to life without the troth."The visage of the hangman frights not me!The sight of whips, racks, gibbets, axes, fires,Are scaffoldings on which my soul climbs upTo an eternal habitation.0- Again I shall not have time to speak of aUl

the "liberal martyrs, bat will select only a few representative names—representative of I the different stages of intellectual and moral progress; representatives of the various peri­ods of transition, from Paganism to Christian­ity, from Catholicism to Protestantism, and from Protestantism to a more liberal and ethi­cal thought We find that during each of these critical periods men and women were martyred—that is to say, every one of these progressive steps cost some one his life.

Now, a word of caution. My subject will naturally invite me to speak of persecution and I persecutors. While our hearts melt at the spectacle of the suffering of the martyrs, and swell with love and gratitude to their memory, let us cherish no feeling of hatred against their executioners, who "knew not what they were doing.” Remember the ignorant times in which they lived, and the narrowness of their horizon. Sorely if the martyrs them­selves, in dying,' forgave their executioners, how mach more should we be willing to for­get and forgive. 1 trust, therefore, that I shall not utter one word that shall be unjust.There is nothing I fear more than injustice.*Tt is better," said Plato, "to suffer an injus­tice than to do it.” I shall tell the whole truth, and tell it in strong words, bnt I shall take great pains to say nothing that shall be an exaggeration. Sometimes the troth is sol outrageously exaggerated that it becomes a I falsehood. If we cannot tell the troth about anyone without telling an untruth about an­other, we had better hgl4 our peace.

Socrates was the fintiodistinguished martyr of philosophy. Few pages in the volume of history are brighter than the one on which is written the name of Socrates. He introduced! a living principle in life, and pointed out a new intellectual and moral direction. The sophists were discussing the nature of matter, the origin of the earth, the composition of fire, and the beginning and end of the sky; auch| were the themes of Democritis, Parmenides,Anaxagoras, Gorgias and many others. They undertook to prove that "numbers" or "lire" or "water" or "air” or "heat” contained the secret of life and death. They contended that the universe was built of mud dried Id the sun, and that it was a wondrous animal, with the heaving sea for its lungs and the stars for its eyes. These men passed by the ethical interests of life, and conversed on subjects the most curious and bizarre.

Anon came Socrates, with his "ye huvq heard that it hath been asked by them of old, what is fire? what is air? what is water? but 1 1 rupter—It corrupts evpu ask you what is man? The sophists hswessid

Thus fell the first martyr of reason, the] apostle of the gospel of morality I Bnt Ms| death proved a triumph, his cell became shrine, his example an imperishable power] The poet says:

"E arth proudly wears the Parthenon As the best gem upon her zone.”

■ Alas! the Parthenon has crumbled into] dust, but-there is no end to a good life. “Nol power can die that ever wrought for troth. ”|_

Let me now take you from the Pagan into] the Christian world, from Athens to Alexpul dria, the theatre of the glory and martyrdom] of Hypatia.' This young woman was the] daughter of a celebrated astronomer. In the fifth century ^Alexandria was the rival of]

I Athens, and it was here that Hypatia fell a!| victim to a jealous bigotry. From her youth] she gave evidence of possessing a rare intelli gence, a lively imagination, a profound and] dose grasp, and a winning, melting eloquence.I She was sent to Athens, at that time the city] of light, for her education. Here she met the most illustrious teachers, and Plutarch andl his daughter.

On her return to Alexandria, following the] example of Plutarch’s daughter, Hypatia orl ganized a class in philosophy. She was perl fectly equipped for the task. History has] preserved for us a description of the lecture-] room—the auditorium completely filled, the elite of the rity present; the streets blocked with numerous carriages; the audience, mov­ing as a corn-field in the summer breeze when the young and handsome philosopher, in her long academic robes, appeared on the plat­form.

The Alexandrians felt prond of the young] philosopher, and of her free and broad thought! The influence of Hypatia and her courageous reflections began to tell upon the politics, thel morals, the municipal affairs of Alexandria,! and even upon the religions inclinations of the] people. I t is said that this animated the Bishop of Alexandria, Saint Cyril, with jeal­ousy. The young woman was in his way; free­dom of thought and breadth of sympathies clashed with authority and abject credulity.] There was in his bishopric a reader, a clerk of the church, by the name of Peter. He was engaged to cany out a secret and barbarous design. This Peter was a fanatic. A fanatic is a man who sees some one thing in the uni­verse, not in its relations with other things, bnt isolated, cat off from everything else. One day during Lent, when Hypatia appeared on the street in her carriage on her way to the Hall of Philosophy, this clerk of the church, with his accomplices, attacked the carriage, dragged the young woman from her seat into the church, and. after stripping her of her cloth­ing, they cut her into pieces, and then paraded in the streets of Alexandria, exhibit­ing without shame fragments of the martyred woman to the fanatical rabble.

Thus perished Hypatia, the -first woman martyr of liberal thought. Noble philosopher! Fanaticism can destroy thee, bnt not thy phil­osophy; no fires can burn her; philosophy never dies, but, like a phoenix, she rises from her ashes more beautiful than before.

Let me now. call your attention to Michael, Servetus, but before I speak of him 1 desire to explain, if I can, the "raison” of intoler­ance. Christianity started with the gldMous principle of fraternal charity; "Love* one an­other" were the words of Jeans, himself glori­ous martyr. It is not Christianity, therefore, as Jesus taught it, that is relponsible for persecution, but ohurchianity in league with tlto state—that is to say, theology propped up by secular power. Power is the great cor-

the best of institu­tions. Thus we see how the beautiful Cathol- ioisfn of 8 t Patrick and S t Boniface became intolerant as soon as it began to command empires and emperors.

In the same way Protestantism, which was

HModern religious persecution differs in manner only from the past There is such a thing as liberal fanaticism, and wo must guard against that A truly liberal person is one of the rarest and one of the grand J eat spectacles in the world. I am not a Salval tiou Army man, but I can take the Salvation 1st by the hand, and I can say to him, "WJ are brothers. ’’ What is the bond that united him to me? Not his theology, not his ldethl ods, but his sincerity. The story is told of John H ubs who, while lying on the fagots at the stake, waiting for his death, saw a peas ant running in haste toward the place of exe5 cut ion, with an armful of dry straw from the roof of his cottage, th a t. ho may add to tho| flames and moke them born the quicker!

\Sancta SimpliciUuf John Husa looked upon [him with a thrill in his soul; a smile came over his features; he recognized in the peasant a brother. The ignorant peasant believed in his faith as John Huss did in his, not. With hypocrisy, but with sincerity. That is liberj al ism. Not that your thought is as good as my thought, or that one idea is as true as an| other. Never! Not that Brahminism, which commands the widow to be burned upon the grave of her husband, is as good as Judflfom| that has given us Isaiah, or Christianity, that has given us the ethical beatitudes; not that a flippant infidelity is as ennobling as the Sol cratic groping after the light, but that all sinl cere souls belong to the same elevated fra­ternity.

Intolerance, therefore, is born of the dog matic spirit Martin Lather, a few years after he had raised his voice in favor of toler­ance, descried his position, and said: "1 would have no mercy on the witches; I would, burn them all.” And John Calvin, shortly' ‘after he hadjbecome the leader of the Republic in Geneva, abandoned his doctrine of intolerance, and said: ‘ " I t is legitimate to punish here tics.” Thus the doctrine of fraternity, so beautifully embodied in the early church, be­came a meaningless and dead letter, both with the Catholics and the Protestants.

Servetus was a Spaniard, bom in the six­teenth century. He was a lawyer, mathema­tician, physician, theologian and philosopher. He predicted some o f ' the most important scientific discoveries; he suggested to Harvey the circulation of the blood. Bnt the book which cost him his life was his "Restitutii Christianismi. " In this book he introduces the principle of reason; he questions the doc­trines of the trinity and the deity of Christ, and asks for a more rational interpretation of religion. The Protestant world, headed by John Calvin, answered him by burning him at the stake. In a letter from Calvin to one of his friends concerning Servetus and his book, we find these words: "Servetus has recentlysent me a copy of his work, accompanied by a letter asking for my permission to visit Gen­eva. I am willing that he should come, but I shall not engage my word, for if he comes here I shall not permit him to escape alive." Through the instigation of this reformer Ser- vetus was burned in effigy in Vienna on the 17th of June, 1553; bat it was in Geneva, within a view of the windows of Calvin, that he was burned in person. From his prison in Geneva Servetus wrote: "1 am dying with

ermin; my cell is flooded with filth; I have not been able for a long time, to change my underclothing,” and he pleaded for sympathy. Then the thought of the deep wrong, the in­tolerance in the name of religion, the malice in the name of Jesus, drew from his lips at times words of wrath. "Je vous deinande ; notice, mes seigneurs, justice, justice, jus­tice. ” After months of lingering torment, he was sentenced to be burned alive, with hisl book. When the news was brought to him,] the poor, aged man trembled from head to foot; he grew pale for a moment; speech failed him; tears flowed from his eyes as waters from

newly-opened fountain; he wrong his hands, looked at the iron bars, at the filth and dirt of his cell, and then at the inhuman sentence of death before his eyes, and in tho Spanish tongue he exclaimed: "Miserecordio, miscre-cordial”

Jules Barni, from whom I have gathered these facts, tells us that Calvin used this plea of Servetus for mercy to show that "ho was not a martyr, bnt a coward. But in doing this, adds Barni, Calvin forgets that his own Savior, a divine man, in tho Garden of Gethsemane had cried with tears of blood on his forehead, "Let this cup pass from me," and on tho cross despair and darkness wrung from his lips the cry of doubt, "My Gpd> my God, why base thou forsake a me?”

Words cannot describe that spectacle, at once tho most pathetic and the most inhuman: an aged man ltd from his cell to the flames, for no other crime than that of freo thought.

Ethical Culture be stated in language more forcible and accurate? Bruno was the author of one of the grandest doctrines of all time— the doctrine of the love of nature. The theol­ogy of his day had diabolized nature; Bruno, by the eloquence of his thought, .by his glow­ing imagination, made nature lovable. Weary, dazed, suffocated in the narrow confines of scholastic thought, men rushed with open arms into the freshness, vivacity, color, beauty, and life of nature. From the gloomy contemplations of demons and ghosts, myths and miracles, doctrine and dogma, the mind of man tamed to the study of beautiful nature. Thus Bruno initiated the movement Iwhich terminated in the naturalization of man. a universe in motion!

"But,” says Martini, a countryman of his, "as be raised his hands he raised also I his weary eyes to that- heaven and that sun which be so well knew stood motionless amid the moving spheres,” and remorse entered his soul. An involuntary but significant sentence burst from his lips: "Hppur se muove"—In the meantime it is moving.

HOW TO MESMERIZE.

Brano was a pantheist; he believed in one infinite, eternal substance, the fragments of which partook of the same nature. He be­lieved in the plurality of worlds. "Philos­ophy is the science of death, ” cried the church. "No,” answered Bruno, " it is the science of life.” Like a dragon the creed-bound inquisi­tion leaped from under its altars to crush the first pulsations of the intellectual awakening; like a dove of fight, Brano shook golden beams from bis radiant wings. The conflict here was between ignorance and science, authority and troth, prejudice and progress.

On the 17th day of February, after eight years of imprisonment in the dungeons of the inquisition, he was led through the streets of the eternal city amid the clamore of the mob, to the place of death. Behold the end of a philosopher; not a murmur, not a sigh is heard from his lips; nothing can break the deep and divine silence of Ms soul. He embraced .death as two friends long separated embrace one another. After a half boor of indescribable suffering at the stake, Brano was no more, but-on the -spot where he stood there was opened a grave, not for Brano, not for philos­ophy, not for freedom, but a grave for false religion!

In the ceaseless struggle between new truth and old error, between love of self and love of humanity, between ease and pleasure on the one hand, and the snblime "thou shalt” on the other, should we be tempted to yield to the lower suggestions of our<; nature, let us think of Giordano Bruno.

"B ut whether on the scaffold Mgh Or in the battle’s van,

The fittest place where man can die Is where he dies for man.”.

Let me call your attention to another Italian, Campanula, who, though he did not die a martyr’s death, lived a martyr’s life, have slept,” he says, "in fifty different prisons, and have been subjected to the most painful tortures. The last time the pain in flicted upon my body lasted forty hours, was tied with cords so tightly that they almost cut into my bones. I was suspended with the hands fastened from a crooked post, wMch pierced my flesh and drew pounds of blood from my veins. Then I was thrown into p i t” Campanella spent twenty-seven years in irons, was tried fifteen different times, and seven times he was pnblicly pat to torture.

During all these years of torment," says Cousin, "not once did he utter a word that would have been nnworthy of the philosopher. ’ At one of Ms trials they said to him, "How do yon know these tMngs, without having read about them?” He replied, "To learn these things I have used more midnight oil than you have drunk wine.” They acoused him of hav­ing written a book called "The Three Im- pottob." He fold them that he was born thirty years after the book was published. Campanella was a martyr of reason and liberty. He was honest and original, and for that he was hated. When the news of Galileo’s imprisonment was brought to him, he forgot his own sufferings, and taking up bis pen, he wrote heroic lines from his dungeon, in behalf of his fellow-scientist. "Where,” says Cousin, "can we find a more admirable heroism?” Oar wonder and reverence find vent in some such exclamation as

It is the spirit of heroism which our age needs the most We are suffering for lack of moral courage in our leaders and public men.Our laws and institutions are becoming more and more corrupt instruments of greed and party-wrangle, and we halt and linger in the land of bondage because no one will part for us the Red Sea, and lead us into a better land.We shall not see justice exalted, politics purified, religion made free, and humanity united and at peace in the bonds of fraternity, so long as our teachers fear progress and the light Oh, for the martyr age, the age of heroic men and women!

A t last it bss been decided by the Di­rectory of the Columbian Exposition, the only authority oompatent to act, that all parsons who core to visit Jack-1 sob Bark on Sunday can do so. They can have the pleasure of viewing from th e outside that oreatlon of modern power of which the wondrous tales of Aladdin's palace were hut the fore­shadowing.

The Directory is composed of men la whom the nation has reason to repose the utmost confidence. They represent the broad-minded, liberal, Intelligent and sagacious element of the American nation. If It ware not so, they never could have so folly satisfied all who have interest In the colossal operations on the lake shore.

. No sooner, however, have they taken lana; ® action than from the hostelry of the e a n * ^rational Commission Issues a chorus of !> ®r*“ queals, and brays and bowls. The fel-

* lows who live by polltloal trimming f tow^have the chance of a lifetime to make yes! dyhemsalve* solid with the people who

kavlda jmt their particular church first, and God next. These fellows have no thought on the soore of religious prin­ciple, but they wildly saw the air and

id 1« cavort about, like broken-wlnded mules, of th ) trying to attract public attention to ds) I their defence of public morals and the re. 1 Jioly Sabbath day. To hear them, one r would think some.terrible calamity was to h’ Impending.

| And how do these gentleman, claim- ^ lng to be filled with the sweet pity of a|

L b loving Jesus, propose to carfy their) point? They declare they will hare the

. j United States troops called out. What lor? Because the people are- to be al­lowed to cultivate their love for the beautiful by a stroll In the park which they have built and paid for, where the ttigulfloent buildings, w ith qjoaed ex hibits, may possibly lift their thoughts from man and his works to the One and

'or a S J t t works. I t reminds us of the miser m her ebrho was trying to train an only son in m; yet economical habits. Their usual diet trust orVas moldy orusts of bread. A t last the woman, Id man found a scrap of cheese rind ;e one wfWe ke put in a bottle and tightly phis maydvked it. They ate their cheese by nore <>* ?ubblng their orusts on the outside of i do v *ke bottle. One day the old man was is m* with the key of the pantry in his

pocket. The boy, not to be deprived of his cheese, rubbed his crust on the pan try door. The old man, returning caught him In the act. Boxing the boy's ears soundly, he roared out: "Can1 you go one day without cheese?" So1 these Christians insist tha t the people shall go one day without the Fair, even

iejoh hi desiring to forbid their rubbing against lid, prajhe closed doors of suoh a collection of

inhibits as the world has never before he linger*****. If they will not, then the first le again jbought Is to bring In troops, to malm so tbougpd kill. Bo i t has always been, falling le had re{*'OTerooine by argument, resistance to io in due r* ad lets of the will and pleasure of

i church, they call a t once for bullets, y had rather wade In blood to the pe'a bridles, than yield one lota of IF own will.t is not a question of right nor wrong shall the dlota of the priests be dla-

I t is the old cry of "rule or

Wa leara from the " km of this city, that from the extremely valuable twenty acre* of property lying between Hoisted (treat, Fullerton, Sheffield end I Balden avenues, the ally does not re- L-eive one cent of bbxoe. There are on I the property seventy fine reeidenoee, I ■ h rented end bringing la a handsome I

i ravuoue. This large block of land is | owned hjP the Preabfterlaa Theological I Seminary of the Northwest, known as I the McCormick seminary. The block le worth nearly • l,00p,uoo, and although bringing In a revonuh of over 160,000 a year, ||a owners do not contribute any­thing to the city treasury.

Thera are la all seventy-one houses on the grounds, besides the seminary buildings. Three of these are used ne residences by members of the- theologi­cal seminary tenuity, while the other sixty-eight arc rented to the best advan­tage.

The houses are all threw-story, brick I edifices and cob lain ebo .t twelve rooms i each. They hava beds built gradually and It Is likaly that more will bo erect­ed, as there Is land enough to accommo- datudAo. They psalpt from $800 to 8000 a year, so that the Income amounts to at least 850,000 a yoar. Twenty-four of the houses face on Fullerton aveaue,twenty- four on Belden avenue, whUa twenty ore on the private street known as Chal­mers place. So fearful are the semin­ary authorities of giving something to the oily that one side of this private I street Id almost blooked by notions I warning thu pesaer-by that the grounds are prlvato nod that th e street is not I for the use of the public.

The houses are on the open renting | market and are in direct competition with other property, although not pay­ing any taxes. The lend is not used In I any way for dire?I seminary purposes, but simply for the money there Is in i t . !

The property owners of that locality view the vacant ground with apprehen­sion, for a t any lime the Mininary may coos true»a few rows of houses on the vacant portion of its land and put them In the market at a price lower than the tax-paylag owners can afford to lease their premises. Paying no taxes, the seminary can reduce its rent below that of adjoining property and still receive more than the owner who Is called upon to pay both his own taxes and a share of his theological neighbors'. Thore is an additional expense spread over each resident on the North Side owing to the dislike that the seminary people evince to paying taxes.

In years past the North Town assessor has attempted to collect the trifle of 18,000 or so that would be due for taxes on the land used as a money-making ad- unci, although the seminary has always

been regarded as properly exempt under its charter. But through some legal machination the seminary has contrived to have its name taken off the roll and up to date it has not paid one oent Into the teeasury.

TH E ASSESSOR 18 FO ILED .When the subject was mentioned by a

Dally Ufaws reporter a t the North Town assessor's office. It was plain tha t i t was one well known there. Chief Clerk ftlohards, to whom the reporter applied for Information, has had experience In collecting—or, father, In attempting to collect—taxes from the seminary, and was fully posted.

Is ab­surd from every point of view. A re­ligion so weak that It has to draw sustanaaoe from the masses who take DO Interest In It, Is a delusion, confusion und a snare. The action taken by the liberals of Massachusetts, and which we published la No. 1H1 of Tub PROQEMO- IVE Tuinkbu, was timely, and cannot fail to have a beneficial effect. From the very nature of things, a church represented by God himself should have financial strength sufficient to pay ordi­nary taxes, and thus bo able to contrib­ute something la behalf of good govern­ment. A church that acknowledges Its inability to cope with sin, a t once ad­mits that Its God is a weakling, and has found an adversary that Hs cannot over­come. A movement should be made all aloog the line, In order to so change the laws that all religious institutions shall be compelled to pay their regular share of the taxes, end thus assist In main­taining good order. Furnishing, as the ohurohes do. nine-tenths of all the crim­inals of our Jails and penitentiaries, they should be taxed to sustain them.

therefrom. Mohammed, Zoroaster, Bud-1 dlia, Confucius, Plato, and hundreds of | others Id the past were closely allied to the Spirit*world, and hold communion with its wise sages. Their medlumshlp was probably of tho normal character, or the resultant or ultimate of their own natural organizations. Tho perfectly | normal medium la always la olOse rap­port or sympathy with the spirit aids of life, and Judging from appearances, there Is nothing abnormal connected with them. Edison's medlumshlp is largely of this normal o ha rector. Hie greatest inventions, though they have their birth on the spirit side of Ufa, are projeoted through tyls brain as naturally! land easily as water flows through a pipe. Among our normal mediums may be

[found our greatest philosophers, scien­tists and statesmen, nearly all of whom never reoognlse the true source of their knowledge, but entertain the Idea that their grand thoughts, remarkable outbursts of oratory, and, at times, ox- Iprosslons of sublime poetry, are all pure- ly the result of their own Internal in­tellectual mechanism, resulting, as they I think, from spontaneous cerebration. Suoh, however. Is not tho case, Take, for example, those who aro regarded as Infant prodigies. They were never so common in the world as today. They are simply mediums, natural-born me­diums—normal mediums—mediums by virtue of birth alone, and a peculiarly) constituted foroe of the nervous system and the brain. Asf eet forth by the Nete York World, th'e ranks of "Infant prodigies" are Increasing to an ex­tent whloh Is positively alarming tol adult virtuosi. For what chance has the voteran piano-player or fiddler against the astonishing feats of those small boys who, we aro told, leave their tops and balls in the dressing-room to come on the stago and oleotrify an au­dience. ■

Master Rhyl Bowen, a flve-ahd-a-half- year-old violinist, with an astonishing technique, has just made his Becond public appearance in London, and is said to reveal a greater talent than did Sarasate at the samo age. I t is not un­likely tha t this small Welsh boy will] really develop into a finished adult artist, as his public, Appearances will be rare, and his father* who is a musician and instructs him, will not sacrifice him to rapacious management.

Bui then there is the pianist wonder, Raoul Koczalski, a poor little boy of eight, about whom the tops and bells and hoops .oauonly bo a horrible myth, slnoe the child is embarking'on a Lon­don season after a serlos of 160 recitals on the Continent duHhg the past yoar.

to have begun to play the piano at two| and a half years, ana at five performed ■Olemeotl sonata in publlo in Berlin. At seven she performed Beethoven's first concerto with orchestra at Klasln-I gen. This small maiden seems to have] developed the commercial lnstlnot in due proportion with tho artistic, her first query on entoirlng a concert-room being: "A re the critics hero?” If tho body Is not out in full force she remarks on tho ill effeot it may have on the next recital.

There is yet another prodigy pianist, tha nine-year-old Holdl SpioTman, who has won the heart of the great Rubin­stein, who hates prodigies. This small boy is .delighting the Gormans, but Is not yet hooked for England or abroad. Not only u ho a marvelous toohnleian, but his djflausslon of the music no plays and of art In general Is called phenome­nally intelligent and critical. I t was through his answers to sn a rt catechism on the part of RublntrtOln that lie Worked himself deeply into the affeotlons of the musician.

Recently there has been a prodigy brought forth in Now York, Isabella Bressler, the twolvo-ybar-old child harp­ist, winner of the first pries at the Paris Conservatoire In 1801. The little girl mode her debut at Steinway Hall on April 10, and Jumped Into favor atones. That she Is a genuine "wonder-ohlld” there can be no gainsaying; not only has she the moohamsm of hor Instrument perfootly under oontrol, but she ovlnoos true musical lnstlnot and Judgment! Familiar numbers like Braga's *‘Soro-| node” and the "Carnival of Venloe" (the latter arranged with elaborate varla[ tlons) wars played with uncommon fool­ing and grace and an unerring tech­nique. The little lady was grouted with storms of applause, over and over re oalled, and a t the dose of her recital had to hold an impromptu reoeption be hind the stage to receive the enthuslas Ho congratulations of her admirers She Is a native of Lima, Peru, but speaks Frenoh as her language, and, besides being a remarkable little artist.

All of 'these prodigies are simply natural-born, or normal mediums, and owe their remarkable powors to ad­vanced spirits.

Ho was In a bathroom one day giving a patient a bath. He refused to put on bis clothos. Just about this time two] other employes of the hospital came along. They went up to the man and tried to force him to dress. He refused] and they grappled with him. They threw him to the floor, and as he fell he struck his hood on the bathtub, making a big gash in his head. Then he struck) the slate floor with great foroe and be­came unconscious. While In this condi­tion he was given several severe kicks in the face and in the ribs. He wool black and blue in many places and blood was flowing from his many wounds. He | was-finally taken to his room and tho] dootors sent for. They brought him around. Tho next day the board of visitors was announced. I t would not do to let them see the mangled paUent, and there was much discussion as to what to do with him. Somebody suggested that he bo looked in a closet, but an official said there must be no locked doors when the board of visitors was around. I t eras finally deoldea to go out walking with) the man, and another attendant and my- oelf were detailed to take him out on the lawn. We had to lift him from his bed and carry him out. The poor fellow could scarcely stand. We dragged him about tho lawn and succeeded in getting out of the way of the oommlttee.

W AS A CORPSE IN F IV E DAYS.Another bathroom story more horrible

than the above is related in another affidavit. . I t is the sworn testimony of an employe of • the hospital. I t says a patient was brought to the asylum ono day who was very erazy. He was ex­ceedingly violent. The dootors were called upon to quiet his ravings, but they were unable to do so. One of them finally suggested that the man be taken to the bathroom. This was done. Here he was stripped of his clothing and put Into a tub of freezing cold water. The man fought the attendants, but he was finally squelohed and made to lay in the tub, only his head being abovo the water. This had a quieting offeot on the mad­man. Tho next day, however, ho was again violent and he was again osoorted to the bathroom, whero, despite his piteous appeals and his frantlo efforts to free himself, he was put under the cold water. When there was a possibility of his getting the bettor of the attendants one of them would deal him a blow be­hind the ear. These cold baths were ad­ministered three times a day for five days. The last time he was given a bath he woe especially violent, arid more than the usual amount of abuse was dealt out to him by tho attendants. Three hours after he was taken from the tub he was dead. Five days after his reoepHon at the hospital he was a corpse.

There Is running through the entire human family a mutual dopondonoo of one upon tho other, and all are linked together. Espeolally Is this true In the civilized walks of Ilfs. No one can af ford to say: "I ask no favor of any other mortal." We all reoognlse this truth that there has never .been a time in tho history of the world when calamities were not of frequent occurrence. At one time It Is the erupUon Of s volcano, followed, perhape, by a terrific earth­quake, destroying thousands of lives;

I then the aonouooement Is made tha t an Inundation has wrecked the home# of

velopod spiritually will le t his love en­circle all humanity, foreaoh ono,though In tho lowly walks of life, possesses a •park of divinity whloh never can he ex­tinguished, W hile the world Is full of tho "sweet and the tVuo," It Is neverthe­less a foot that it abounds to a great ex­tent te misery and misfortune. The well do not require a physician. Those who are strong do not require a tonic. Those who are possessed with a sufficiency of this world's goods do not require aid In a financial way. They, of oourse, never exolte the tender feelings of human na­ture; but there is another side, we re­gret to say, to this picture. There Is misfortune on evory hand. I t appar­ently follows some with the rapadty that the wolf purauos the fleeing fawn. I t is the weak who require strengthen­ing. I t lathe sick who require the ten­der hand and gentle care of the one gifted with healing.

Now, the question arises, what is your duty? How can the ohords of your* sym­pathy vibrato unless in touch with the worthy poor and suffering? If your heart-chords never vibrate for poor suffering humanity, then, as a natural

This shooklng story Is related by an­other man who used to bo employed at the hospital as an attendant. He had scoured a leave of absence for the day to visit some relatives living near this olty. He returned to the hospital the same night. Arriving at his ward he found that ono of his patients, a man whom ho had left In good health In the morning, was all battered up and wss suffering greatly. He made Inquiries!from some of hlBlll^______________ 'discovered that the patient, who had been slightly unruly, was knocked to tho floor ana that while he was down he was kloked repeatedly by brutal attendants In the stomsoh. the ribs and the head. The person who makes the affidavits says that he did what Jie could to ease tho pain of the craiy man and that he sat by his side all night. Along towards morning, though, the Injured mao grew worse, finally unoonsolous and Just at dawn breathed his last. His remains were carted away and some excuse given for his death.

Among the patients at the hospital a yoar or so ago, says the affidavit of an­other employe, was a man over 70 years old. He wss in very poor health, but his mind was only slightly Impaired. Ho was-scarcely able to move about his ward, yet the doctors proscribed walk­ing in the fresh air for him. Tho at­tendant who furnishes the testimony, and another man were detailed to take

This new departure from old methods which we have taken, and whloh the above cut Illustrates, Is ode of great im­portance. In a measure it is an oasis In a barren desert. W hether a success or a failure, It will oontlnue from time to time to be a feature of our peper. T h e Progressive t h in k e r was born w ith a heart; i t oame into existence pulsating with an intense desire to, in a g re a t, measure, alleviate present suffering,and render more pleasant the lives of those who are unfortunate.

Now, it 1$‘a prominent feature of the various ohurohes each Sunday to take up a collection for the worthy poor, or for some other object equally as com­mendable. Take, for example, the Peo­ple's Church, over whloh Dr. Thoihas presides. The audience each Sunday probably numbers from 700 to 1000. After the servloe the hat for voluntary contributions Is passed around, and the amount received varies from $50 to $10 •; In fact, the hat never returns empty,and by this method a meritorious work bss been accomplished. But T h e P r o g r e ss­iv e T h in k e r speaks each week to a much larger congregation than Dr. Thomas does. The number of its read­ers each week will probably reach 40,- 000. Now, why would It not be a most excellent plan to pass the hat around among them, metaphorically speaking, and call for contributions for some char- Itablo purpose? Shall the congregation, audience, or constituency, presided over by T h e P r o g r e ssiv e T h in k e r be made an exception to the general rule, and not assist by voluntary contrlbu- I tlons la some grand ohariteble work? Suppose In passing around the hat each of our 40,000 readers should donate one cent, the amount would reaoh up at once to 8400. No one would be made poorer by that contribution, but a lone and sad heart might be strengthened by the aid thus presented. Now, there is nothing in all of God's vast universe more grand­ly beautiful ,f)V- soul-do voting than a I charitable fooling, a desire to assist in rendering some unfortunate human be­ing more happy and comfortable. We ask, then, that eaoh of our readors this weok, tho moment they peruse this ar­ticle, to sit down and enclose something, more or loss, to Annie Lord Chamber- lain, box 60, Mattapan, Maas. The Ban­ner of Light, In a late issue, speaks of her osso as follows:

"W hile there are in every community, □occsdarlly. veteran Spiritualists and mediums who aro suffering from sick­ness and want, and whom to old ia a worthy and commendable servloe, yet we desire espeolally a t this time to call the publlo attention to the needy oondi- tlon of ono who was a pioneer among the spiritual mediums, and has for years been a prime footer In the cause of the spiritual philosophy. 'Wo allude te Mrs. Annie Lord Chamberlain.

"Of her work In the post, those who are at all familiar with the history of demonstrated spirit oommunlon must be cognizant. She has been one of the very best of the phyaloal Instruments developed to enlighten the Inhabitants of earth regarding the supremaoy of spirit power over material resistance,

surrounds them. The burning of a house, a railroad-accident, the falling of a building, the bursting of an engine, the giving way of the trestle work of a bridge, tho destruction of a steamer on mid ocean, and thousands of other calam­ities arc constantly startling tho peo­ple, and calls for assistance can always be heard. No one, then, on thla earth can act Independently of all the rest, asking no favors of them, and extending none. These thoughts are awakened when considering the misfortune that seems to follow certain individuals, and never for a moment releasing its terri­ble grasp. There Is Anhie Lord Cham­berlain; she is a most excellent medium, and has done a good work for the cause, in Chicago and In the East, and now Is In straitened circumstances. Why Is this? There is a cause for everything, and no less in this case then in others. She has a father and mother who are entirely helpless, and wholly dependent upon her for oare and sustontatlon. The load is a heavy one. The burden Is a larger one than she alone can carry. Now, If there is any one thing th a t a Spiritualist should foster, it should bo abovo all else the spirit of human kind­ness, of sympathy, o f oharlty, of deep feeling, of brotherly and sisterly love for those who are affiloted, and who are struggling to sustain themselves and others dependent upon thorn. Under these oiroumstanocB wo have oonoluded to open a new departure and try and see -if we cannot In a measure reach tho hearts of Spiritualists, Mystlos, Thooso- phbts, and Freethinkers, and have them unite In a great benevolent work. No one is properly educated unless the heart ohords of his nature vibrate In unison with those tender feelings whloh actuate the phllanthrophist. The poet, Hannah More Kohaus, has said:

TH E SECRET.Thera la plenty to loro Id this world so glad, No heart need bs empty, lonely nor end,If the flood of affection will broaden and veer. Outside of the self-entombed, narrow sphere.There are myriads of objects beseeching for

love,From the beautiful flowers to the stare above; From the bird’s soft notes to the trembling

lyre.From the lisping babe to the white-haired 1 sire.

There are treasures without and treasures within;

The Joys that may be and the griefs that have been;

Dean Clarke has taken a hall and started an independent meeting In Los Aageiee. Cal., with favorable prospects for success. His address ia 137 Bread- way, for May- and perhaps longer.

The people of Butte, Montana, are very anxious to Investigate Spiritualism —many are hungry for the proofs of I spirit return. A good speaker and test medium is desired: aad such may ad­dress Mrs. William Robison, 96 Montana street, Butte, Montana.

Dexter W etter writes that there are foot good mediums in Rio Dell, Cal.« namely, Mrs. A. D. Enos, Mrs. Symonds, Mrs. McCotter and Mrs. Smith.

Helen Temple Brigham writes that Willard J . Hull is to speak for the Society of Ethical Spiritualists of New York the last two Sundays of M ay.^t 44 West 14th street. After the lecture last Sunday evening (which was on the famous Edwards bill) Gen. Parsons in a

L. D. Sanborn, secretary. Grand Rap­ids. Mich., writes: “Dr. Juliet H. Sev­erance, of Chicago, is filling a month’s engagement with the Grand Rapids Spiritual Association.

The lecture season will close with this month: only conference, classes, and circles, will be held through the mouths of June, July and August; opening the fall campaign with Mrs. Maggie Waite in September, followed by the best talent available.”

J . Perry, of Milwaukee, Wls., is heartily in favor of a national organiza­tion of Spiritualists for protection and defense against both Romanism and Protestant Intolerant sectarian ortho­doxy. There should be a union of all freelhinklng and Spiritualist people for the defense of their rights.

Cremation of the personal effects of the victims of contagious diseases is good in itself, but of little use as a measure of safety if the Infected bodies be permitted to colonize the soil in which they were buried with myriads of living germs.

I think, said he, the Spirit-world is . right here with us; even Milton says: ’ “Millions of spirits walk the earth un­seen, both when we wake and when we sleep.” Mr. Savage said that is a very rational idea, and nothing in science j can prove it otherwise. We are often.

A fter much hesitation, Mrs. Da Wolf, who; I claimed she was never certain of getting a | writing on a dosed slate, and, therefore, did | I not wish to lay herself liable in case o f failure! with tied slates to be denounced as a fraud, consent d to make the trial on the last Sun*

' day o f her engagem ent a t Milwaukee to speak before the Society o f Spiritual isle. A com­m ittee of three had been appointed to pur­chase a slate, which she was no t allowed to handle, and to place their private m ark upon it. T h is sla te was inspected by the audience, and a com m ittee o f three skeptics appointed

| by them, who thoroughly exam ined the table and placed the ir private m arkon the slate. I t was 'then secure!y t :ed in the presenco o f the ■lx witnesses, and handed to Mrs. Do W olf, who held it, as usual, under the table. The audience being requested to sing, she soon announced th a t the elate could be opened. Upon it was a writing— not a sentence, bu t a word. She explained th a t the failure to ge t a longer writing was owing to her condition, as

ra c k s m ade and xprosscti as to tier honesty. The slate

| was again tied, and ano ther word found upon I it when opened— the skeptics testify ing as to the fact, and th e audienoe being allowed to

“ Let my Jesu its back into Germany oUl- |d a lly , wh'*rc they are now practically, and I will call off my dogs, tho C entrists." •

Such to alf Intents and purposes was the ultim atum which the king of the Vaticao threw a t the German em peror when tho pair

The em peror stood between two evils, and to his credit be It said, he chose the one that boded the least evil to his empire.

To keep tbe doors officially locked against tbe Je su its m eant the trium ph of the Centrists; in o th e r words, the overthrow o f German im­perialism by Komiah socialism; the trium ph of Romish despotism , m asquerading under the red cloak o f socialism.

“ The end justifies the means. ” Such is the Je su it m otto, o r practically w hat is meant thereby, and well the Je su its have carried their p lans to a successful issue.

The em peror was confronted with tw o 'a lte r natives, each controlled by the Vatican. ;o

The indications of coming conflict abund- aoFrfcnd certain. Written and compiled by BisA fn Ames Hnntington.A n jJ pt1o[ volume is a masterly expose of the

aimsLfffl purposes of the Roman Church in the BidlCS FStates. By copious quotations from Romish - authorities, the designs of Rome against 4ihe liberties and free institutions of our country aro fully established. Out -of the mouths of priests, prelates and popes is Romanism condemned. Rome’s traitorous acts in the past, and its treacherous designs for the futnre, are clearly designated. It is a book'that should be read by every friend of liberty and humanity. It,contains a compact mass of information of tjpcqendous importance! — -facts that will startle and amaze those who have been dozing in ignorance of the charac­ter, the methods, doings and designs ol Rome.

Mabel Raymond, a child of ten years, lovely in body and mind because born of a happy mother, who 3 surroundings were all that could be w is£V, hears that mother discussing the cause c 1 ,/.c difference between her and the other ohif 5, and goes to her with questions,which, * ,ared truthfully, gives the child new, or rather her first ideas of her own origin.

The Decadence of the Church M ilitant.

“ A young woman of Columbia, S. 0., has just been expelled from church for Sabbath- breaking. She supported a crippled father as ‘hello’ girl in a telephone office, and was obliged to do four hours’ work on Sunday. Save for this one example of hardness of heart and reprobateness of spirit, the reports pro nounce her#a most exemplary person." — Denver Press.

The young woman ought to congratulate herself upon getting out of bad company. “Evil communications corrupt good manners,"

It is this class of good, pious Christian people, who are making long prayers to be seen of men, who are continually insulting, berating and ridiculing “Spiritualists and their dupes." “ Verily, verily, I say unto you, they have their reward.” .

This is the way Rev. Thomas Houston, “ the blind preacher" of Jersey City, startled his congregation lost Sunday:

“ There are too many of those nasty red things called pennies put into the plate. With collections made up of pennies it is hard to pay the running expenses of the church. I know of a few who put their hand into the plate and push the money around under pre­tense of putting something in.""W ith one hand he put a penny in the urn of

poverty,And with the other took a shilling out." *

terujteu iu the creation of the1 National Assies elation as soon as possible, to secure the pro­tection of that provision of the constitution which insures the free exercise of leligiou* opinion. As we are the mopt advanced of alf religious bodies in the world, we are cpu. stonily obliged to contend and fight oar wqy against the malice and in isropresentations of ail other sects and " especially the press, aqd contending singly we make but slow progress, and are-ox ten the victims of abuse and imposi­tion.

To correct this evil and place onrselvea as a most powerful body before the bur of public opinion, to proteot worthy mediums against the machinations of their enemies, to promote the increasing intercourse with the Spirit-world, and to draw to our ranks the large proportion of those in the ohurohes who are Spiritualists at heart, we deem it essential that each and every one should lend all possible assistance towards a National Association.

The preliminary work involves a small out­lay, and to secure this we solicit your earnest co-operation by subscribing to this effort and returning the same to this committee before May 25th, and it is to our interest to ascer­tain the result at the earliest possible date.

“ Organization will insure protection and power.ff

This is the universal principle which wo must recognize. i >■ 1fl -el

to mock toy offorts.I becifuo stubborn and rebellious, morosoL

and gloomy at times, and iotemcly antagonls-1 tie, hut' l could uqt succeed save when 1 worked for Spiritualism. My abnormal antag­onism mldo me many enemies, and at I ist I severed my relations with the Spiritual cause, I nnd would only lecture on ma'eriallstic thought | In all my reformatory work 1 tried to succeed by tlib combative method, forgetting * tho words of Paul: “Tp be carnally minded isdeath, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Suffice it to say, ibat my stubborn rebellious­ness towards the/ Spirit-world* has caused me many years of mortal agony and spiritual darkness, which hae, at times,, been almost Unbearable. But it is written, “ There shall □0 light at eventide,” and now the rebellion is ended. My hair is turning gray, and the fur­rows of care aro seaming my face, and all I have to show for the vanished years is their lesson, seared into heart and braih. The musty love of the law is forgotten, .even the platitudes of materialistic philosophy are largely effaced, but my Spiritualism is as fresh in my mind as are the blossoms now budding on the .trees of spriqg.

And as the new South arose from the ashes of her desolated tlresides at the close of the war, wjlltothe noble resolve to aid in a more perfect uniou, so I arise from the gloom of thoso iqst years, wi(|b the resolution that dar­ing the remainder of my life I shall devote my time to. the upbu\lcibig of the Spiritual Tem­ple, anil invoke the,aid of angelp causing the grass ipid flowers to grow upon the grave of the foolish hopes and aspirations of my un­taught youth.

ThenDr. Winslow came aad said that----(calling his wife by name) “had spent all the seven thousand dollars he left her," This was strange, that this me­dium should know her name twelve hundred miles away. Then my wife controlled the medium, aod with fell the old expressions at bar's, even to making the medium take on the leading symp­toms of her last illness: but when the medium called me “Gappy," a name no other person ever called me by, I did think u was wonderful, aad perhaps my wife was not dead, after all: and, tears of joy ran down my face, to get a glimpse of a belief that was so natural, If true. She said many things through this medium which no one but she could have said. This made me .very much Interested, and I attended each session of the convention as long as It lasted, aod listened to Mr. Stiles giving the names of more than one hundred and fifty persons who had died In the last ten to forty years In the immediate vicin­ity, or towns surrounding, all of whom I was acquainted with, or nearly alL J thought this, was very strange, and I found out tberh was to be a camp at Clinton In 1891vand attended, but saw nothing for me, and came home. I

~ heard the philosophy, and thought that wla reasonable, bat old not want any­thing on flUth—I had had that plenti-

fore, but there is a beautiful spirit here aod she has a husband here who is a skeptic and believes when she passed over that was a ll there was of her, aod she ia so anxious to let him know she still lives." Ia a moment Mr. Emerson came down from the stage and passed up I one line of chairs and down another, missing the row which I sat In and going on through the whole to the back cf the house and came along the last row and forward until he came to the fourlkMwl from the roar of the house, and as soon as he bad come to where 1 sat, he at once placed his arms around my neck, calling me by name, also my son. and second wile, And talked to ns all beautifully. My wife had controlled him and had thus sought me out In a crowd estimated from thirty-five hundred to flour thousand | people. A ll in the house oould bear the words of counsel of my wife to us all. Mr. {Emerson via an entire stranger to me, never fcavlng heard of such a person in my life before be came to Clinton. It was perfectly wonderful, and so Im­possible that the medium could door know anything about It, as there were probably three-fourths of the people there who were strangers to bun, as well as myself. Does it take much reasoning to see that If ibis was not my wife, no human being oould have selected me aad given me tbe troe Incidents In my home life that Mr. Emerson did? He Is a most wonderful medium.

Mr wife told me when she first mate- rial I zed she bad impremed me to come to ibis meeting aad she would entertain

none have come to you you have waited thirty years, and all this time yourl friends have been eagerly watching for an opportunity to reach you and let you I know they still live, and love you iustl the same as ever. Now, don’t wait thlrtyj years, or one year. Take the time anal go to a good medium and see for yourl sell You have heard tbe philosophy] and you want the proof of it, and should lose no time in placing yourself where your fiends can convince you of these great truths. An old gentleman atl Clinton said he “guessed he would go home, be bad been there two weeks and had seen nothing." 1 asked him if he had been to a seance, and he said be had I not. He did not know as he could get into one. I took him to one and tnatl night his wife came out and they met, and the next day she wrote him a long] message on slates, aod he stayed until tbe close of the camp. You want tbe philosophy and the proof. We have had faith a Tong time without proof, and now we want tbe proof, which is-free to all except a trivial fee to keep life in the medium, add that Is so small that it will! never be felt by anyone aod will never make a fortune for any medium.

So successful bad been man’s I staffer Log had we employed you sooner] endeavors that an established communi- wteisiags attend you.|cation bad been set up, enabling mortal! and spirit to commune one with the] other. The Spiritualists In Hamilton have taken a larger hall—the largest in Hamilton. Their success aod progress! have been phenomenal, due,- largely, to] Mr. Jftnlrond's zeal as a Spiritualist and his merits as an inspirational sffeaker.

Rev. X. C. F. Grumbine, Unitarian, of Genesee, 111., was in the city last week. He Is prominent a# an advanced thinker, and is doing a meat excellent, work.

Dr. C. R . L . is a great admirer of the work of Mrs. Slaw son, who has placed! her name with honor upon the memories] of Salt Lake Spiritualists. He who calls! woman weak in this day and age makes] a mistake, as Mra. Slawaon proves dally in her defense of her convictions.

M. Metzger, secretary of the Inde­pendent Spiritual Church, of Louisville, Ky., writes of the good work done by Charles Wesley Peters, who has been with that society the past four months. I His lectures are logical, philosophical and ‘ scientific; always something new, refreshing, stimulating and eloquent Some of the best minds in the city*have become interested, and united with the society. The Ladles' Aid Society Is flourishing, and is rendering very sub­stantial aid. There is now a movement! for the building of a Spiritual Temple,] and 8-i,000 or more are already sub­scribed. The First Society also Is doing a good work. C. W l Peters may be ad-1 dressed for engagements at 539 Second I street Louisville, Ky.

P. S.—My husband’s recovery is great surprise to his family aod neigh bojrs, and they cannot account for it; but to me, a Spiritualist, it is no mystery You are doing a’ noble work. Continue working in harmony with nature's laws People should be taught what those laws are, and how they operate.£ 7 Truly, F. E. P. M.
