word as <i( unknown no such word as (i unknowable.’,5 For, what to us at present is the Unknown, and what to us at present seems the Unknowable, in the great cycles of our existence shall be proved to be the possi­bility of our nature,

.'Who shall place the boundary line beyond which the human soul cannQJj pass P Shall Herbert Spencer, or Carpenter, or Huxley, or Tyndall limit the human mind’s power to ascend;—whose eagle-Hke wings have gained the power of flight and ascendency that enables i t to scale the heavens above, and to cause time and space to vanish from its vision, and become no longer obstacles or encumberments in the way of its progress P These are the possibilities of the human mind. But all that the human mind can know of the Divinity, after all, is within itself; and the idealism of the pre­sent in relation to Deity, contains within itself the potency of what the human spirit itself may attain 5 for all the ideas the human mindvor e.v.ejrfan anggjjj pos­sesses of Deity ore simply idealisms ; and these idealisms are capable of unfolding the mind, and enabling it to ascend higher and higher in the scale of being, on its way towards Deity; and as it reaches a higher stage, it finds a still higher beyond, for an unseen influx of power carries the Soul outward towards its immortal destiny.

There is an altitude to whioh the human spirit may rise, from the summit of which it may look forward

^^tim ragb decades of millions of years of the future, and '"“ back through all past ages; andkfromtfm.e;|summit of

the vast arch, which embraces time and eternity, the mind may take within its -omnipotent grasp, the Past and the Future, and they will become the living Pr§»seut.’i: r

There is within the human mind that which in* spires it with its relation to Deity, as an immortal he-; ing.

AH the investigations pf Science are based on the theory of the eternity of M atter; hut whilst we may acknowledge eternity of Matter, w e' also acknowledge s eternity of Spirit, , Every, mortal body contains within ’ it a soul—’a living spiritual essence—-of which the mor­tal hody is the outward expression and embodiment, And as we gazjjj| around upon the grand scenery of Nature, and upward upon the galaxy of stars and plan- ets that revolve in the illimitable ocean of space-—the, grand stellar universe filling the soul with awe—the mind is inspired with the idea, that all Nature Is but a pictorial manifestgion, or a mirage ofehe Soups Inter­ior life,: And as the human mincT has descended from the Mind of minds, and as the human heart has been involved'from the»Heart of heartsfehd§he human will has been evolutionised from the Will of wills, so there' is a relationship, and a near relationship, between the human sohl and the Divine Being] follas you pene­trate the human soul from its external stand-point, and look into the grand inner recesses, you find within the human soul, the Kingdom of Heaven "and within the Kingdom of Heaven you see even the Father enthron­ed; and through the ideal divine-humanity that lives within the soul, you see that the grand soul-life of Deity lives and infuses Its life, by and through the inner life of man; and thus all life is the manifestation of Divin­ity ; for the Fountain of life, as it diffuses its life through objects and living forms, and human existence upon th§ earth, finds in the great varieties and diversi­ties of creation only an expression of its own infinity.■ The human soul, awakened to its origin, realises the

grand fact, that life, before its embodied conscious ex­istence,—-its spiritual essence—must have bad an exist­ence, and a consciousness of that existence. The human soul, speaking from the standpoint of Jesus may say, ^before Abraham was, I AM.” The recogr nition of the Divine relationship between mortal and immortal; man and Deity, constitutes man’s power to receive the morning light of Spiritual Truth—the first dawn of the inner Hfe, and thereby enables him to rise to a higher state of being; and his conceptions of

spiritual being, from a mere embodiment of words and ideas, soar into the realm of Principles, and from prin­ciples to Attributes, and thus he may become a being of truth and love, and his whole life may fiaw out and exercise the potency of its influence through the vast universe of human thought and action,

I t has been wisely stated that man is a microcosm of the Universe, If he be a microcosm of the material uni­verse, and if the material objects with which we are suy» rounded are the manifestations of spiritual substance as has been already indicated—then man is also a combina­tion of spiritual aflinities and attributes. This being so, we need not he surprised, if, in tracing the past history qf man, we perceive in looking down the dim narrow vista of antiquity, traces of man’s existence in spirit, prior to his ultimation on the material plane, For mams spiri­tual part, being independent of his material part—nay, the basis and cause of it—necessarily existed and exists on i®own merits, and is not by any means a conse­quence of the external organism, which ,is simply its form of expression on the earth-plane^ This pre-exist­ence of the human soul, then may appear to some im­possible ; yet it is obvious to the mqre interior mind, that as human beings, we find ourselves upon a flight of stairs, and on looking back to the- Steps below us, and upwards to the steps above us, we may see whence we

•nave ascmfqed, and whither we may aseend. And it is- ! this fact which constitutes man a creature. capable pf inheriting? heaven; becaus^tevitlnn nim is the fljjpmisB soul d erased from the centre nf allB elng Hand which j having pagged through the celestial and spiritual degrees of life, ultimatos itself upon the external plane of being, and becomes man. By thus fracing hisldescent from the Centre of all being, man is perceived tq be tbe mani­festation of tbe soul-life of Deity Embodied in an ex­ternal form; and thus the human soul realizes its relationship with the Kingdom of Heaven, and within that Kingdom of Heaven dwells the infinity of man’s natur^P Hereby is’Jb’e SoUship. o f. man <femonstrat^|M

: and the possibility of his return to spiritual beatitude j seqpyed. _ , n . t

Then, man’s immortality,' o r ' continuity of being, does not rest upon a mere revelation^ it does not rest upon an assertion of any sage ; but it is established by conjunction with, and partaking of, the life >f the - Immortal Deity. Man’s soul-life is, by its own inherenM nature, an immortal life. Be Lit, however, clearly un­derstood here that, as individualities, and as embodied sp irit] there is a recognition of an influx received by mankind from one oommon centre ; and | f that influx be from a Divine Centre, then we areShe recipients.of]

*|nfloMng influences ^5f a Divine character; thus that II life manifested through us, b e a t wlf^f may, is a Divine life, and constitutes man’s relationship to God, J;- The i hnman soul, sgalising this grand fact, and by j

permitting the spontaneous utteranee of the .inflowings j influence of the Divine life to express itself unobstruc- tedly^may manifest more potently upon tbe earth the likeness and image of the Divine.

But the present systems of Education, and the theo- ! ries of hpjnan JJfe now in jgpgue, seem to hang as a dead weight upon the mechanism of^yqe,human spirit. Is impeding'progress and flogging up the avenues of; Diving exm&ssion, rather than gBsffting the externalisa- tipn (p the Divine wisdomwithjp. The ^jjeqt of present. methods seems to be to sustain the mind of man exolu-j]

;sively by external influences, giving rise to the rational-9 ism and agnosticism that is demored by all religious teachers, but whioh are, nevertheless, the unavoidable

] consequences of their own system. The principles of jlife anAmeans of development which we would recom-.' mend, would, through jfie gates of Xptuition, open up 1 to the externa] mind^he g lo ries^ the Inner Kingdom,I and enable man to see Diviqity reflected in every object | which adorns the face of creation;

Look back •' 11 into the primitive formations of the earths crust, and

. ihe first beginnings of life are seen to be almost homo- ® | geneous—individuals almost similar and with the fewest

ossible organs; and representatives of these early pre- ecessors ot mankind exist on earth to-day at the bottom

of the organic scale. As we pass through superincum­bent strata nearer to the earth’s surface, we find a greater diversification of organs, and the higher living animals correspondingly manifest more distinct indivi­duality.’ Man, of all created things, has tm^most perfect differentiation o£<agans, and, mentally, has the

EEly true individuality. JJow we maintain that, as the creation iSvUpF^B finished, man’s forma­

tion is^ppt yetlbompleted. Hence the applicability to the present condition of man of the passage in the . ancient sacred; w aha^ SS Let us make man in onr image, after our likeness^ and from that time, indeed, during all time, that result has constantly been in p x o B gress. . ‘ . .......

The atfgn^anco was excellent, the room being filled 'v^ith an atteg^ffl jftidiepec qp Bpfntualists anqT others. After theprehminaiyjmrvice the audieifce were asked to choose a subject feR he control to speak gupdn. - Two sub­jects were named, the first one being—“ Is Spiritualism devilish or divine?” /Ehe second was—“ Hell, what is-it? Where is it? By who created ? And, for what purpose?” The

.second subject was the one chosen.The control said the subject named was one of deep interests

THE|MEDIUM AND DAYBREAK. November 11) 1881.

. While I am disappointed tha t no one has as yet competently taken to defend the cause of Official ]hristianity—»Whi(ffl is g! be attributed chiefly to the FAct that the reause is such a bad one, so th a t noTone will undertake to defend it, unless a bis 4 hppric is to be gaifted thei&by—I am on theSoiher hand highly gratified that my articles have been tm ^u g n ly appreciatfe^. by advanced Spiritualists; which could not have been the case had not other Honest toilers conscientiously tilled the ground

, before in la n d iffiSpintualists had noff ldemselves ascended, to the plane whereon they*;copIaji«fccfl|jffl those views. Had I no® Written, true Spiritualists would gradually have arrived at the Batne contusions. There is nothing inore due to m ejbut,,. t hat I have put the ideas together. I have invented nothing, but given only what I have found, and what was given to me. I demand neither praigtfcor blame, bafctffllgtSQHy a^Sention.

The difference between the exoteric and the esoteric views Concentrates itself in the following : The former asserts thatf Jesus was the highest, the latter affirms tha t he Was one of the highest. • • 1. i: '

T h e Dea d J esu s, and t h e L iv in g Ch b istF ^ T,Life, and not Death, is the Divine object of e x ls te tt^ God

is not a God of the dead, but a God of the living. Life is God’s work, Death is man’s, even the morP so when it is unnatural, then it is altogether contrary to the divine design, and is only perversity., A}thpUgh oimjiian by hjs death may save a tbous* and, such contrivance shows human im p o ten t, but .not Diving Omnipotence. 'No man Was born for the gpject of a trag ic death, and is ncgdeath howevjm^heamcal*oF^mantffi to be re­garded as anything else but a fa ilu re^!

Every child that is born is intended by God that j i t should live to a patriarchal age, and attain to the Divine yLife. If

I children prematurely dieygif men and ^ o rn e n Unnaturally: die, if death and misery prevail on ‘eaftflf m l ' s w ^fun ignorance of the Divine Laws tha t rule the All is ihefoause"'*!

God is not the gauthojfcof Jfaflp nor doeapGpd Veqqjr^ the Jesuitical device of doing evil tha t eventual good may result therefrom. God’s ways are^jygood, tu t man, turning; away from his original state'of p u rit^^ fflnce and po\^m ,has con­tinued in suicideleVer since his fall.

Should it ho demanded Whether the death of Jesus bad ah object, I maintain th a t it hud none, and;certaihly not a Divinel object. T h ] Life and not the manifest- Death of ■ Jesus* Christ is our Salvation. We pertain to tn ^S phere of Life, and the sophistries from the SpheresBpf Death arehmfc’firbFregard- ed. Certainly it was heroic of Jesus to die for his principles, and he may have forse^pypUch d ^ th ^ w u ld him, butthe tieath (if it was absolute, which wo deny) is only to be re­garded as a failure, and has*none of the virtues th a t the cow­ardly PB n of Salvation would attifoute to it.

Had JesUSilived to teAch bis System c6h ® ete ly |lh stead of being p^m aturely c i^ B ^ h e m iaht have SavcAthe Worfd two thousand, years of ignorance and consequent]misery. P lan t ah a c o r n in fertile ground, and one on a stony soil, and while the one will be a fine tree lasMhg several hundreds of years, the other will be a stunted sapling, ^ ff it is with Chris­tianity ; the seedjhftt was thrown was good, but the growth was a crop ,q% crab-trees. Christianity lias nine­teen centuries ? But howBas. ] efeduffll ? By force a n d jH a u * by ignorance and soph im ^] To compel men to accept the Paradise of the Church, priestcraft has; established H ell upon E a rth .. • •••

Is there an obje<H in death? Certainly the physical body becomes manure and fertilises the ground, and foolish people who did not regard the Christ while he was living among them, had by bis death their attention attracted# and began to have a superstitious regard for hiih, and finally said he was the Son of God.; I f death has accomplished anything, it is an insignificant result to what the ljfe would have done h a d ,] been continued. What, for instance does bhe death of Garfield teach us? Sim pv ly tha t the President’s intqitmns Were nq$ in good Working o rd e r] For no man is intended by God to die when he has! still wom^to perform, as S l^rfielil^^]. The sympathy which w ls ' a f^ w a fd s elicited fa l^upd^]^;S ant^ i(P ateapry , as the fertilizing ef the grouiid by the Bead body. I t is nqm he ob-J ject that the bodyof man should form good manhrti,*yl^H^R-g th |l ^ s it doea.>3 I t l^ p o tt j ie objedrof a mail’s mission^ tha t only by a theatrical end be should draw attention upon himself and his ideas, nevertheless when it happens he does, $uch i^j is the “ Divine Economy] as P la tt c a l l s ^ ] As ho a to m w i m atter is lost, so iifc is with q^oms of thought. fPyei$^]igM ip conserved, bufe-fp regard the W isen t arrangement as Divine Design, and the present conglomerated appearances as intend­ed by Deity from all eternity, is a grevious error.

The Bimne teconomy no d o u o ^p H ^ $ y § ];h , but it forms no part in the Divine Design tha t we shoaB unnaturally die, but that we should live. The blood of the Martyrs may be regard­ed by some as the Seed of the Church, hut of such seed also sprang a bfood^O li^cfo .E aT ygii, -flow, SO y 6u must reap.; Blood Was the seed, and blood was the afbp.

In the same Wise as our nature rtitilises Animal food, (the food of death) must the Divine ESmomy utilise ±fre death ® the individual, when .there is fret VheBliffl| When there: is n<fl right food, (the food of life) then the Wrong food Serves to build

than all id the experiences of the inner life,—“ Thou hast put gladness in my heart more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.” _ : ___ .

Observe, then, that—I.—Spiritual P rosperity gives greater satisfaction than

Material Wealth.The grand idea expressed in the text is, that a man’s spiri*

tttal interests are everything to him, that his physical conditions and material circumstances are nothing as compared with these. Satisfaction and happiness spring from within and not from without. A man’s happiness depends entirely upon the condition of his soul—upon what he is spiritually—and if a man is not healthy, and harmonious, and strong, and rich in his soul, it is impossible that he can obtain happiness and satisfaction from without, whatever his worldly position, ■what­ever his material possessions and prospects. No ; if you are as rich as Croesus you will be unutterably wretched, if you are as great a -conqueror as Alexander, and conquer all worlds, you will sit down and weep because there are no more to conquer > you may have the crown of the British Empimupon your head, but uneasy will be that head if your heart be not right.

No ; happiness and peace, joy and pleasure, spring from with­in and not from without; and it is impossible to obtain satis- j faction and happiness from any sort of outward circumstances —any amount of money, any Social position, any degree of personal adornment or beauty, if the soul be notkrighty«: Our happiness depends entirely upon the experiences of the inner life, our spiritual condition, the knowledge, Wisdom, and good-! ness that are developed from within.

Why even the mere reader is infinitely happier than the miserly millionaire, though reading cannot in itself impart true

N happiness, because the sources of happfnesa lie deeper than the mere exercises of the mind ; yet thmlover :of books is infinitely happier than the lover of money; Thomas Carlyle .thus speaks# to the writer of books “ Thou who art able to write a book, j which once in the two centuries, or oftener, there is a man j gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and j inexpressibly pity him whom they name city-conqueror or city-consumer.; thou, too, art a conqueror andlv^^B. but the true sort, viz., over the devil. -Thou hast^buijt what will outlast all marble and metal; and be a wmder-bringing city of the mind, a temple and seminary, and prophetic Mount, whereto hundreds of the earth will pilgrim.” And, as the writer of a real book is superior to the city-Builder and the^city-Sonque- ror, so the mere book-'Worm is infinitely happier than the miser, as many can testify. ■ : ■' / or-.o z ihsrn

Even John Stuart Mill, who professed to have no religion, said that “ the primal necessity of human well being consists in the internal culture of the individual, not in the ordering of , outward circumstances.” Again, Carlyle, speaking of Jean Paul Richter, says—“ We see in him a man living out the spi­ritual life. On the wholefitis not by money or money’s worth that a man lives and has his being. Is not God’s fiiUVerse within our head, whether we have a torn skull-cap or a diadem without? There was a bold, deep-loving spirit looking out through his eyes, and to such a spirit the world has nothing

- poor, but all is rich and full of loveliness and wonderThis was the experience of the Psalmist, only in a deeper

< sense. Those who had an abundance of corn and wine favoured, and those Who possessed material wealth seemed the

. happiest people—as it also seems to-day—but it was this wriS ter’s experience that there was something infinitely superior to that, viz., inward experience, joy and peace within, gladness in the heart, springing from a cqnsciousness of life—Divine life; for this is “ the light of God’s countenance^ not looking j upward or out of yourself, but a consciousness within of divine - and immortal life; the knowledge which you have of your Father’s love and of your relation to him as his child; the con-: soiousness you have of treasures within that can never be taken; away; living and immortal powers,—thought, affection, and - aspiration, which will have full; exercise and development in a * brighter world.

Here is the true source of happiness, the consciousness of • possessing blessings and enjoying prospects infinitely superior • to material wealth and advantage. We are apt to think the i rich favoured; yes, favoured with opportunities of personal culture and doing good, favoured with means of relieving those*

th a t are in need as others are n o t | | We might well desire to have money, When We See how much it is wanted to help to f poor and needy, when we think of the good we could do, both temporally and spiritually.

II.—How to obtain this P rosperity and ••Satisfaction of Soul. •

We answer, by knowledge of the Truth, and living according thereto. Perhaps you expect me to say by Faith in (Mrist. I answer yes, scljKng as ffimT mean Belief mg theEtratks pat Jesus taught, and being like him. But to put it mqgiacleaiiy and definitely I would say, by knowledge of God^by kfflbwing the facts of your spiritual and immortal nature, by knowledge of all spiritual realities, not theoretical knowledge^* but that knowledge which 'changes apd purifies #he soiAi the know­ledge which makes you spiritual, jhe knowledge which becomes thecasje®ppn wljicTi^tju^tablish your fa'ith and nope.

There are different ways of expressing it. The text says,J Thou hast put gladness in my heart,” et£v Tes,Jiut God puts it there by means, and those means are within our reach. We obtajnjthjs inwar d satisfaction by the use of means, as wo Jo the bread for our bodies. Truth is the nourishjneujt of the soul;

Fknowledge of truth about 'God '^nfijhbputr^ur spMtmjbhrtp- rests.^ This inward gladness springs from knowledge oLgrod’s love to us,*what he has laid up for us, and our rightness and oneness with him.

The Destroyer of Weeds, Thistles, and Thorns is a Benefactor

Whether he Soweth Grain or Not.

1 am an ordained clergyman and believe in revealed religion. I amherefore bound to regard all persons who do not believe[ in revealed

R elig ion as in error. Bat on the broad platform of human liberty and] progress I was bound to give him the right hand of fellowship; I would] do it a thousand times over. I do not know Colonel Ingersoll’s religious views precisely, but I have a general kn<jjrledge of them. He has the came right to free thought and free speech thaLlbave, I . I 1 ad­mire Ingersoll because he is not afraid to speak what he honestly thinks, nd I am only sorry that he does not think as I do*”—Rev. Hen/ry Ward

Beecher4

“ We should all rejoice in the recognition of this principle of freedom of thought, speech and publication. This glorious ‘ boldness of speech ’ brings to light the thoughts of many hearts. And even if they contain what we deem errors—and mischievous errors, too—their undisguised expression gives others the opportunity of meeting^them fairly,,and en­deavouring to remove the misconceptions they involve5 and in combat- ng or illustrating wnseveral posifciohs’we’become'inore olearMconscious

And boldly entersinto the defence o f the Christian Founder :; . .................. , and his teachings.*

He quotes at length from the Gospels, and gives many passages hearty endorsement.

But pom s red-hot shot into what he callsM Priestly Inter- ~■ J polations” - ; h i

Having got through with the Bible, he pays his respects to " the various C reeds^

And, as usual, has a pleasant word for his ancient friend, John Calvin. 1

In conclusion, he outlines his own Creed, the Happiness . o f Humanity.
