LECTURE

W ho are the true M essiahs? T h ey who work w o o d en Id the depths of h u man experience; that carry th e light oomfort and rejololng to sorrowing souls, They who stand In the conflict of storm and opinion, liv in g for prluolple and for right, are the M ewlahs o f to day,

The spiritual faculties o f th e m in d are em ancipating th e offspring o f the brain; th e form ative w ill c la im s free­dom to act and sh ap e th e d estin y of filture generations. T h e teach in g of the N azareue dissipated th e clouds that buug over a superstitious period. T h e com in g o f a Savior w as heralded through faith . Pom p and cerem ony ruled the ch ief judges and rulers o f that tim e. T he sim ple words o f a fu ll orbed life fell like balm upon th e h u n gry souls o f m en.

THE BETTER WAY. OCTOBER 0, 1880.

W ritten fo r The B e tte r Way.T H E OHUROH OF T H E F U T U R E .

B Y REV. UENRY FRANK.

M y hope is large for the ohuroh that i s to be. l a m y reveries I dream of, in m y heart I pray for, in m y songs I ch an t the g'ories and promises of the ideal body, whioh shall yet, in the nam e o f truth, olothe the world with a gar m eat o f beauty and crown it w ith the wreath of charity.

0 , caustic oynio and bitter m isan­thrope, do you say “no? " Is your faith so lost in the sublime possibilities of the hum an heart, are you so blinded to the true future of the human race by the •dark oloud of mutual animosities and acrimonious contentions that has so long covered the face of the earth, that your vision cannot discern the new heaven and the new earth that y e t shall b e? A h then, the more the pity. N ay,I believe in the propbetio utterance of th e sage o f “Concord: “Man is a god in ruins.1’ But though in ruins, j e t a god; and if a god, he shall rise again and c la im h is own.

Man’s heart is mea* t for love; m an’s sou l is m eant for peaof; m an’s mind Is m eant for bless’ng and for power, These are the potentialities o f the hq- (man being. As yet, I m ust adm it how­ev er they are but potentialities, or ger­m inal potencies; but mark you, they are germ s and they are potenoie0; and a s sure as the sun beam, long en ­sconced in the bosom o f m other earth, m ust som e tim e show forth h is splen­did possibilities in dow ny foliage, in ra­diant flower, in stalw art tree and lus­cious fruit, so the rays of love, tru’h, harm ony and perfection, so long buried beneath the encrustation o f hum an error and folly, m ust som e day burst forth and w eave the robe o f righteous­ness w ith w hich to m antle the hum an race. “I doubt not through the ages o n e increasing purpose runs, and the thoughts of m en are w idened w ith the process o f the suns.”

Therefore my, hope is big w ith the prom ise o f the future. The past is but th e nightm are revealing th e follies and tortures of hum an m isunderstanding.T h e past is but the building o f the house c f hope on the sands, “and th e rain d e­scended, and the fl tods cam e, and the w in d s blew, and It fell, and great w as th e fall thereof,’’

T h e church, the historic church, has been th is house o f hope. Alas and alas! W h at wonder that th e v isage o f philos­ophers is "sickled o ’er w ith the pale c a st o f thought?” W hat wonder that th e growlers in tb e p it r o llu p th e roar •of their disgust, forever agonizing th e earth w ith their shriek of torture, and c r y like the ghosts in Clarence’s dream: ■"The church bath murdereci s leep !” W h at wonder there are arm ies o f iron* Tisaged m en, wrinkled w ith th e hot Urea o f desperation, who stand ready w ith one blow to shatter every eccle­siastical structure into atom s, as did the m ob o f Paris to th e accursed Tuilieries. W h at wonder the streets are full of the cry : “The church is a curs1; destroy the church and lib eity is born! ”

H ow m uch hope has poor, doom ed distraught hum anity y e t suckled from ecclesiastic breasts? Here, too often, h a v e they found the poison o f asps in ­stead of mother's m ilk; too often the s tin g o f vipers and the bite o f serpants in stead of loving arms and tender lips.

T h e church, too true, has been the Silly o f every enem y o f earthly peace and hum an justice. S h e has set up bars of adam ant between hum an hearts and then roused wars to tear them dow n. S h e has throned k in gs and des pots to bind th e race In galling chains, and laughed behind her crucifix and m itre a t the dupish slavery of m ao S h e has caused the world to echo w ith th e crash of war and filled rivers w ith th e blood of hum an vein s. T he love of power has been her ch ief am bition, and to gratify her cupidity sh e h as turned intriguer, liar, assassin and d evil She created Gregory the great and H enry th e eighth; sh e burned Johu H ubs and murdered Bruno; she suppressed Zw in- jgliua and banished D an tf; sh e hurled Savanarolo to the dust and drove Garl b&ldi to the mountains; she has cursed every -noble soul who has risen to her rescue and m ade a m artyr of every h on est follower o f Jesus Christ.

To-day sh e Is the a lly of despotism ,! m onopoly and injustice. She shuts the m ou th s o f truth-tellers and stam ps her 'heel on h oly prophets. She holds down t h e surging mass of discontented tollers w ith the lash of fear and the terror of ■anathema till slave drivers shall ope their wounds anew and heaven echo w ith the shrieks of woe.

world hath need of them. The people ory, the people cry, and In their warn­ing there is terror:

A nd across the dark oloud o f this des­pair I behold cast the splendid bow of promise.

The ohuroh shall y e t oontinue to be the rook on which hum an hopes and liberties are built; the ohuroh shall nev­er die. But the ohuroh as she is m ust first rot and decay that the new life may generate ana the holy plant ootne forth. But that day shall be! T he plant shall y e t be seen of all the world and beneath her soft shade hum anity shall y e t slake Its thirst and drink the waters o f life and liberty. That ohuroh Shall k now no organic dom inance; that ohuroh shall recognize no k in g or pope or priest or potentate, no parliam ent or conclave, oo assem bly or synod, no con­gress or conference as diotator or author­ity. T h at ohuroh [shall be the en em y of ecoleslastloal orgalzatiou and sectar­ian segregation, ever the enem ies of hum an happiness and the frustailou of freedom ’s hopes. T his ohuroh shall find its organization in individualism Each ohuroh shall be great and final in itself, its own oreator and destroyer, its own alpha and om ega. I t shall be a church w ithout an altar, w ithout a priest and without a oreed. ‘ I t shall be a ohuroh without defined th eology; its disputations tendency shall be as n o th ­ing, its moral a ctiv ities shall be its pow ­er. The church not o f religion as d e ­fined in theology, but tb e church of hum anities; tbe church w h ere brother shall find brother, and sister s ister. T h e churoh where all hearts of “every k n o w ­ledge, tribe and tongue” o f every creed and code, shall beat as one; th e churoh w here love shall be God, w h ere justice shall be H is Throne! A n d this church shall be great in its individualism and its independenoy. I t shall be an abso­lute autom ony. I t shall own n o pow er outside o f itself.

I ts pulpit sh a ll be free as freedom ’s throne. Here shall be declared every connection that bubbles from the heart. R estraint shall be an u n k n ow n term . U n tied shall be th e toDgue o f her ora­tor, untram m eled tbe baud and heart o f her m inister. “H onesty” sh a ll be her watchw ord, “truth” her guide.

Y et sh e shall be not on ly th e church o f individual autonom y, but the church of dem ocratic fellow ship. There shall be no sect, no denom ination, no lin es of dem arcation and distinction . B u t all these churches in fellow ship sh a ll be one,* though in in d iv id u a lity so charac teriz°d. Hound th e earth th e spirit o f the Christ shall m ove and w eave the robe o f charity. F ratern ity shall be u n ­restricted. W hosoever give! h a cu p of cold water to th e parched and thirsty, whosoever v isits th e sick and th e p riso ­ner, w hosoever carries a lm s to d in g y hom es and m akes a sm ile break through a clouded countenance, w h osoever sca t­ters seeds o f k indness, brings th e balm of peace to broken hearts, he should be full fellowsbiped, nor in a u g h t ca tech is­ed furlhejLof h is faith.

The spirit or tu e crtitiai sn a il ac re reign. T o e form of JesuB and the idol­atry thereof shall pass aw a y , but th e Christ sbaU rise to conquer and to crown m ankind. “ E v en so , com e Lord J esu s.” N it as T .iou u&st been m ade to com e} in ritual, cerem ony, blood sacrifice and mockery; in false prayer and hypocritic whine; in cap and crucifix, caudle and cup, m itre and cow l, h o ly water and h oly H os'; but com e Thou, as thou art, in love, fellow ship, d evotion and unity . T h y church is n ot y e t born; w hat is, is bu». th e m ockery of Thee.

Therefore w e wait, w e toil, w e bear persecution and scoffing; th ey banish U9 from th e synogogues and “slay us be­tw een tb e altars ” B u t w e “lab »r and w e w ait.” T h e church o f th e future shall soon be born.

OCTOBER 8, 1889. THE BETTER WAY 3

B R A H M IN IB M .Brahma lived about the same time as

Abraham. T he two have been confound­ed as one and the tame person by Higgins in his Anacalipsis. But this is a mistake. The Brahminism o f to-day is not that which was founded by Brahma. Brahma reinstated the religion o f Zarathustra. Brahma gave what is to-day in part found in the Vedis scriptures. The Vedas were originally given by him, but they also have been greatly mutilated and changed. < Zarathustra lived about Sooo years ago in Persia. H e is and was the foundation o f all modern religions. He it was who was put to death between two thieves. H e it was who was cast into the lion’s den. He it was whose death rent the tem ple o f the city o f Oas. He it was who brought the dead to life. In his time was introduced the wheel of Jaugernot, or cross, on which would-be prophets (mediums) were tied to see if the gods (spirits) would untie them. In his time was it that Asha, king o f the whole world, renounced his king­dom and took the alms-bowl and went about begging for the poor. Zarathustra

•taught self-denial and good works done unto others; he was the first to teach the plan of the heavens and the necessary be­havior in this world in order to rise in the next world. He revealed that there are two kinds of spirits that can approach man—spirits of darkness and spirits o f light. He said "As you would that oth­ers do unto you, even so do you unto them." He said: “Return good for evil; love those who despitefully use you.” He said: “Take no thought for the morrow, but serve your Father, having faith that in good works he will reward you and pro­vide.”

Zarathustra’s religion overran China and India, as well as Persia. Even to-day in those countries the learned people laugh at the religion o f the Christians, saving it is but stolen from their m ythol­ogy. However, that is not now the sub­ject of this article. W e revert to Brah­minism. Now it came to pass, in the long lapse of time, the religion o f Zara­thustra was lost in a great measure; just the same as is said of the Jewish religion being lost when they were taken captive.So the eastern nations relapsed into bar­barism, though in many places still pro­fessing the Zarathustrian religion. It was prayed that the Father would in some way reopen the ancient doctrine o f Zarathus­tra; and hence came the answer in the man Brahma. Through him it was re­vealed anew and adapted to the latter times. This, as stated, was about the time o f Abraham. The religion 'of the Brahmin was over India, China and Per­sia once more, and a comparatively high civilisation resulted. But again, in the long lapse of time that followed, the priests degraded the religion to profession instead o f practice, just as Christianity is to-day. A creed was established. The holy Brahmin religion was circumscribed by belief: “I believe in the holy Brahmin religion. I believe in Brahma as the Sa­vior o f the world. I worship Brahma, and he worships the Father for me. He resteth on the right hand o f the Great Spirit He is all holy. Brahma only is good. Brahma was born o f a virgin, and knew no sin. T o establish Brahma our fathers slew a hundred million o f people. Blessed Brahma! Brahma killed not any­thing under the sun. He prayed all day and all night to save my soul. Blessed Brahma!”

After that manner was established the Brahminism o f to-day, which has little or no likeness to the original. T he original was somewhat similar to that o f the E»se- nean Jews. It was a religion o f non-resis­tance. The original was to contend not, to fight not; but, somewhat like the Esse nean Jews, they were subject to severe trials by the abuse o f other people. They were robbed and killed everywhere, until, in a great measure, they were nearly de­stroyed off the earth. Then came the later Brahmins, like the Christians, say­ing: “We have stood these things long enough. Our Heavenly Father does not protect us, so we will protect ourselves."So they became warriors like the Chris­tians. Hence in their rites and ceremonies they used the expression: “T o establish Brahma a hundred millions were slain." This latter style o f Brahmins still pro­fessed that Brahma was the Savior of men, after the manner the Christian pro­fess that Christ was the Savior o f men But about seven hundred years ago there began a new sect to com e in amongst the Brahmins, denying the person o f Brahma, but declaring that they meant by the word Brah, or Brahm, a certain principle; just as many people now are beginning to say they do not worship the person Christ, but the principle. New suggestions are, therefore, in vogue as to the meaning o f the word Brahm, some saying Brahm and the Father are one and the same thing or person. Thus in many respects the Brah­min religion is merely the use o f the word Brahm in place o f the word Christ. And as the word Christ originally meant figh t, so does the word Brahm now mean that form of religion which came after the re­ligion o f non-resistance. Accordingly, like the Christians, they are warriors for their Savior.

The Brahmins have also two orders amongst them like the Christians. These are the Brothers and Sisters, like those in the Roman Catholic church. The office of the Brothers and Sisters is to pray for the world. Their occupation is, like the Catholics, confined to begging and pray­

ing. Both o f those are emulating the king o f the city o f Oas. This king giving up his kingdom and going about begging for the poor was the beginning of this prac tice. Hence we find the practice o f beg­ging reduced to a veritable occupation both religions, Brahminism and Christi- .ntty. The Brahmin Sisters, when enter

ing a convent or nunnery, are first trained jin begging. Two o f them go about from place to place all day, gathering whatever they can. They then go to prayers and pray nearly all night; arising in the morn­ing and going begging again. In these respects Brahminism is nearly the same as Roman Catholicism. T he sacrament o f eating the flesh and drinking the blood is also still in vogue amongst the Brah­mins, same as amongst the Christians. This ceremony is from Baugh Gan GhaJ, about ia,ooo years ago. It consisted the cannibal service o f the chiefs eating o f the flesh o f the thigh and drinking the blood o f their victims, using the words, 'This is my blood and my flesh which is

given me by my Father in H eaven . ’ 1

This was the origin o f the old saying o f “swearing an oath under the thigh," which is mentioned in the Jewish Bible also. Such then is Brahminism in gene­ral; but, like Christianity, it has many creeds and sects. It antedates Christian­ity some hundreds o f years in its present form, while in its ancient form it ante­dates even that several thousand years.

There are those amongst the Brahmins who are opposed to war and to all m an­ner o f killing; just as there are some o f that kind amongst the Christians. But in truth they are neither Brahmins on the one hand nor Christians on the other; for in the broadest sense both Brahminism and Christianity mean war, or fighting for righteousness sake, and they presup­pose that all wisdom is with them. The Brahmins are S p i r i t u a lists. One order o f them, like one order amongst the Spiritualists o f Am erica, believe in the doctrine o f reincarnation. Som e o f them amongst the Brahmins ignore this d o c ­trine, saying it is from the inspiration o f spirits o f darkness. T h e m ost intelligent amongst the Brahmins hold that good spirits com e only to the holy people o f the Brahmin church. In th is . they are like the Roman Catholics* T he ordeal many ot them go through for spiritual develop­ment would put our modern Spiritualists to shame. They insist on vegetarian diet for seven years, to s it alone on the ground leaning against a tree for days and months at a time. They hold out their hands and arms, and ultimately gain control over their physical parts, after the man­ner o f Adepts, but on ly in a limited de­gree. During these sittings for develop­ment they pray incessantly. T h e reincar­nated order, however, eat flesh and sit in some such manner as our modern Spirit­ualists, and not very unlike the Voudoos o f the southern states. T h ey invoke spirits for both good and evil purposes. This kind o f Brahminism is by far the most numerous o f the two. There is no fellowship or brotherhood am ongst them; same in that respect as Christians and Spiritualists, every one working for him ­self and living for himself.

Six hundred years ago Brahma was worshipped after the m anner o f C h rist Statues o f him were in nearly all temples. Some o f these had three heads, represent­ing Father, Son and H oly Spirit. Before these the worshippers bowed and prayed like the Catholic Christians before the image o f C h rist T h e Brahmins never sought to make proselytes, though in the schools they were like the Rom an Catho­lics, teaching chiefly the doctrines o f the church.

The education o f the unlearned, the flesheaters, the believers in reincarnation, consists merely in teaching the young that il they kill anything that when they die they will be reincarnated in that species o f animal. Their tracts are written and not printed. These tracts profess to give an account o f somebody who had been a great killer o f dogs, birds, cats, etc., etc., and then go on to tell that when he died he had to be born a dog, and then a cat, and soon once for everything he had ever killed.

The effect o f this doctrine had and still has some weight with the unlearned and stupid in making them observe the rights o f animals to live. Som e o f the Brahmins believe in self-castigition. L ike the Christians o f Old and N ew M exico, they frequently in their worship whip them selves till they are covered with blood from head to foot. In general term ■* Brahminism now teaches that man shall make this life abhorrent and hateful, and like the Christian Shakers, kill e ff every sentiment of family love, characterizing such feelings as being o f the devil. A s the Shakers shake and dance in order to ■how their hatred o f the flesh, so do the Brahmins. A s the Voudoo o f the south dances over the fire and bumps his head on large pieces o f raw flesh to keep away evil spirits, so does the Brahmin. A s the Christian when asked: “ W hat is the ob­ject o f your religion?” will answer, “T o save my soul in the next world, and to keep me from sin in this world,” so also will the Brahmin give the same answer. True Brahmin worship is done in the an­cient. sacred language, same as the Jews and Christians o f the older forms.— The Castaway.

The favorite problem o f thinkers and teachers, since thought began, has been to find some engine o f education which should reach the character as effectually as the ordinary means o f training touch the understanding; and in the opinion of many, not men alone, but nations, music was such an engine. “It is music," said the Spartans, “which distinguishes the brave man from the coward.” “A man's music is the source o f his courage.” It was their music which enabled Leonidas and his three hundred to conquer at Ther­mopylae. It was music which taught the Spartan youth how to die in the wrestling ring or on the field o f battle. These claims are audacious surely. Y et when we consider how the rythmical tread o f the brave man differs from the agitated shamble o f the coward, how music is the art o f human joy, and how joy and repose o f mind are the main elem ents o f manly fortitude, we shall at any rate admit that there is a strong affinity somewhere; our only difficulty will be to acknowledge that music, deliberately applied, could ever be the direct cause o f these reputed results.

T o achieve the end desired, Spartan boys passed their youth in learning tunes, hym ns and songs; this was their sole men­tal culture. They were taught to dance and keep step to the measure o f the song as they sang them. A n d, grown to m an­hood, now perfect warriors, march into battle with smiling faces, crowned with flowers, calm, joyful and serene; and, in ­toning their songs, m ove steadily thus into the thickest o f the fight, undisturbed and irresistable. The band that leads our armies to the field nowadays is a scant survival o f the Spartan practice; y e t even in this music by proxy there are many elem ents o f incitement to courage— N a ­tional Review.

I tried several m ethods to prevent ants

molesting bees and found the following far the most satisfactory: B y the use o f a crow bar make a hole in the center o f the

ant hill down to the bottom , w hich is easily found by the more open or less compact earth. T h e n turn into this hole

a gill o f bisulphide o f ca rb in , and fill and crowd down with earth. A s the liquid is very volatile and can not pass out o f the now com pactly filled hole, it quickie evap orates and kills all the ants. I( c lay be

near always use this to crowd into the hole, as it is more impervious than sand, though by firmly pressing with the foot the sand can be made to hold the liquid. Kerosene may be used instead of the car­bon, but it is far lets effective. So. too, of carbolic acid. B y means o f syrup, cover­ed by gauze that bees are excluded, the ants can be trapped in great numbers and destroyed. I have often done this, and by adding paris green have poisoned the ants. — Prof. A . J. Cook, in N . Y . Tribune,

To Reduoe Corpulence.

'Corpulence is due to an excess o f hy- Iro-carbon in the system . A ll oleaginous

food, as fat meat, butter, gravies, milk, nuts, and Indian corn, is a direct contribu­tion to obesity. In addition to these, the hydro-carbons are elaborated in the sys­tem by the starch and sugar o f bread, po­tatoes, rice, tapioca, arrowroot and various other vegetables, fruits and roots. A lco ­holic stim ulants are favorable to the de posit o f fat, and the exact opposite— to wit: T h e free use o f aqueous drinks is still more conductive to corpulence. I f a man could live w h olly on a nitrogenous diet, confining him self to those azotized principles fibrine, albumen, and caseine, which go to renew the w aste o f the tissue and are not convertible in to fat, he would soon become as lean as he could desire. But these principles cannot be obtained in their purity in ordinary food, and if they could be, the diet closely maintained w ould, after a while, be fatal to the sys tem. Som e approach to it, however, may

made, and this is recom m ended to all w ho suffer from excessive corpulence. T h e normal diet o f on e in perfect health, would be one o f the nitrogenous principles,;

five or six o f the others. A reduction the latter so that the proportion shall be

one to three, w ill, make a very perceptible change in the physical condition. T o ef­fect this, let the diet be lean m eat (no >ork), lean fish (no salm on), cheese, peas, leans, cabbage, turnips and aciduous fruit. A void farinaceous food, including bread, pastry and potatoes, and all fats (butter especially) and sweets, saccharines o f all ‘ ]nds being especially fattening. Drink claret (with little or no water) and other sour or light wines, and if flour is used at all, let it be in bread toasted very dry. A perseverance in this diet w ill inevitably reduce the avoirdupois o f any human body."—Journal o f Com m erce.

L ib ra tio n o f Clim ates.

T h e libration o f clim ates across the North Pole is a law o f m eteorology which I have not seen mentioned by writers on such subjects. Y e t it is entirely self-evi­dent that a north wind on one side o f the globe bringing down the polar cold atm os­phere, m ust be accompanied by a south wind on another side carrying northward the heat o f the tropics. H ence when it is cold in Am erica we have unusual heat in A sia or Europe, w hile our hot seasons must produce coldness on the opposite side o f the globe. T h e singularly cool summer we are enjoying at present, ena­bling us in Boston for a great part o f the tim e to wear heavy w oollens has been ac companied by great heat in the East. A t Odessa, Russia, one hundred degrees east o f us, an Odessa correspondent says:

“Never within the memory o f the oldest British resident here has such intolerable beat prevailed in this region o f southern

| Russia. Death from sunstroke occur a l­m ost daily even among the native labor­ers. For the last ten days the thermo­meter has never registered less than 1 4 4 deg, at noon. O ne day last last week it was 1 3 0 deg. In the shade. Out o f the reach o f artificial Irrigation all vegetation is parched and withered. T he long scorching days, unbroken by even a pass­ing thunderstorm, succeed each other with perfect regularity. Even after sundown there is no breeze; and the nights are so sultry that sleep is impossible. A sun shade is necessary as early as 5 1 . m. From what 1 saw and heard at the bac­teriological station one morning, it would appear that there is, after all, some truth in the old theory o f the dog days. On one day alone twenty-one cases o f bites from rabid dogs were received at (he station, and during the last twenty days no fewer than thirty-eight cases o f hydrophobia occurred within the city, and were treated by Pasteur's system of Innoculatlon.”

It has long been th e desire o f m an y Splr- uallsts tb at a Spiritualist colony, or place of pleasurable and educational resort, m igh t be looated at some convenient point on th e Pa- |clflo Coast— a place where the Spiritualists o f the world could m eet and establish per­manent homes, and enjoy a ll the advan ­tages, not on ly o f our “ glorious clim ate,’ but of the social and spiritual com m union that such association o f Spiritualists would insure.

Sum merland offers a ll the advantages for snob a colony, looated ns It Is upon the sea­shore, In the uneqnaled oil m ate of Santa Barbara, and five miles from that most beau­tiful oily, overlooking the ocean, extending even to Its silvered shore, with a background of mountains, w hich form a shelter from the north winds. Insuring w hat that oonntry has the reputation of enjoying— the most eqna bie clim ate In the world. I t Is located on the Southern Pnolllo Railroad, now com plated between Santa Barbara and Los A n ­geles, and w hat In the near future w ill be tbi main line o f that road to San Francisco and the East,

The site constitutes a part o t w hat Is known as the Ortego ltanoho, owned by H. L. w r ­it am*. it faces the south and ocean, gently •loping to the latter, where ns fine bathing around exists as can be found any where. A fine beach drive extends to and beyond the oily o f .-junta Barbara. Back, and two and a half miles to the north extends the Santa lu es range of mountains, forming a beautiful and ploturosque background. A most beautiful view of the mountains. Islands, ocean, and along the coast, Is hud from all parts o f the site. The soli Is o f the very best.

The site of single lots Is 26x60 feet, or 26x120 foot for a double lot, the latter fronting on a fin e wide a v e n u e , w ith a narrow street in the rear. Price of single lot 180—12.60 of w hich Is donated to the Colo­n y . By u n it in g fo u r lots— price 1120—a front- ago of 60 feet by 120 foot deep is obtained, g iv in g 'o n e a very commodious building site, with quite am ple g ro u n d s for flowers and seourlng a front a n d rear entrance.

Pure spring water la now conveyed to the entire tract from an uufkillng source. The ohjuat of the Colony la to advance the eause of (Spiritualism and not to m ake monoy Melt­ing lots, as the prlco received does not equal the price adjoining land (not so good) has ■ old lor by the sore.

THE HOPE OF THE NATION.Let all those interested In the industries

o f the nation combine for a party vote. T he present political parties have done about as much damage as they ought to be permitted to do; and as they are doing no more good for the country, let us dis­miss them. A party that is in power too long becomes corrupt, and when once contaminated there Is no more cure. P o l­itical corruption is like cancer. N o t to be killed except to kill the body it feeds on. A new party may arise later under an old name, but one already touched cannot be entirely freed from the evil born and bred

it. It m ust d ie—be politically dead long enough to evolve a new elem ent with new and progressive ideas, and be regenerated by a new generation o f peo­ple. In the meantime let a new party be instituted. W e are satisfied that there are enough well-m eaning people — enough above party politics in both o f the present­ly ruling factions to hold the balance o f power in a tripple duel for the presidency If they would but m ake an effort to form for that purpose. T h e party need not be com posed entirely o f industrial citizens, but o f honest business men and the pro fession—o n ly let the industrial interest constitute the spirit o f the m ovem ent. It is an issue on which any party can stand on which any form o f governm ent can thrive; on which any people can be hap­py. W e need fear no war, either from w ithin or w ithout, if w e act prom ptly in allaying the spirit o f our warlike citizens and statesm en; or in punishing selfish m onopolies w ho would endanger the peace o f any nation to further their per­sonal interests. A warlike attitude invites trouble. A peaceful and industrial g o v ­ernm ent disarm s the greatest enem y and creates prosperity for a ll. L et us there fore seriously desire a new state o f things, and it w ill com e. Bu t as lon g as w e tenaciously hang on to our o ld parties, one fearing that th e other m ight get into pow er, there can be no prospect o f a change in sight. R enou nce them posi­tively and declare yourselves open for a new issue and it w ill n ot be lon g ere the field w ill be ripen ing w ith suggestions for co operation.

H aste is frequently the cause, either in g iv in g ven t to their thoughts w ithout consid eration , o r o f gettin g their articles on the w ay to the publishers too early.

PSYCHIC EFFECTS ON SENSITIVES.H aving contem pt for a man makes him

low-spirited/diocouraged and often m elan­choly. Som e may not be directly cogni- zant o f the fact that they are being borne down by psychological influences, but they sense a restlessness nevertheless and frequently cannot account for it, believing it to be due to physical causes— insomnia or nervousness.

Although the latter is often the case, yet one exception is sufficient to m ake a philosophy o f it, and one that w ill benefit both the sufferer and the one causing the suffering. That we are punishable for our thoughts as well as our actions is an old doctrine, but probably never fully realized

[until Spiritualism proved it.M an's mental action has the sam e po­

tency In the psychic world that h is physi­cal action has in the material world, only that those who live a gross material life are not as much affected by the form er as the more cultured are, and that the cultur­ed o f earth d o not exercise their soul or mental force for an unlovin g effect as much as the uncultured do. But w here the would-be refined do exercise their soul em otions unlovin gly , or for a contem pt­uous or an unspiritual effect, the act be­com es unlawful; I. e ., not in harm ony with spiritual nature or that condition o i nature to which they are intu itively as- spiring or have already attained.

W e are, absolutely considered, never out o f harm ony with nature, but m ay be with the sphere or that condition to which w e belong. I f Spiritualism , for exam ple, should represent or should have reached the sphere o f love; 1 . e ., that condition o f nature in w hich love is predom inant, one cannot well be a Spiritualiat if he has ha­tred, or is not in harm ony with the condi tion or sphere he represents. T o be in accord with a love condition o f nature or a sphere in which love is predom inant, we m ust have love— not hatred for our fellow beings, w hether they are of our sphere or not.C ontem pt or hatred disturbs— n ot on ly our ow n surroundings, but those on w hom we direct it, m aking them restless, uncom ­fortable, low spirited, discouraged and of­ten m elancholy . T h e latter because it is the opposite o f lo v e or happiness; that in­fluence or effect w h ich love, sym p athy, charity or a friendly feelin g has o n them.

T o have contem pt o r hatred for brother m ortal, therefore, is n ot o n ly un­lawful, as It were, but cruel, cru el, cruel- especia lly w hen such a feelin g is thrown on a sen sitive person— a m edium or on e o f d elieate construction . U n law fu l b e­cause it is n ot in harm ony w ith the law spiritual nature, and thus punishable, like an y encroach m ent o n that la w is , w e draw ing it upon ourselves, as overeating breaks a physical law and invites pain; e , physical pain. B reaking a p sych ic or spiritual law invites p sy ch ic o r sou l suffer­in g —regret, sadness, ill-hu m or, irritability, doubt, fear, dubiousness and often a feel ing o f despair. T h e latter w h en darkness envelop es the sou l after a lo n g and pet' sistent indulgen ce in hatred for a fello being, o r selfish use o f o n e , and then add slander to th is because things w rong in consequence, believ ing our mor* tal brother to be the cause o f th e trouble, w hen it is but a natural consequence our ow n discord w ith nature.

Our own opinions or ideas simply, pervert the spirits' meaning, but self love —vanity or conceit—destroys the inspira­tion entirely.

W hen sensitives feel an uncontrollable desire to say something concerning them­selves while being spoken to, it is often a psychological reflex from the other party having the desire to know something to that effect. By a little attention to these desires, sensitives may always cognize the intention o f others. It is different from mind reading in being physically sensed rather than mentally cognized. Vanity may also create a desire to speak o f one’s •elf, but this can be best individually an­alyzed.

Our poetical contributors are requested to send their long poems to some other paper. W e are satisfied with the short ones. They cost less to set up and are more read by the public. Many persons turn sway indignantly when a long poem is presented to them for perusal, knowing that poets have licenses no other writers have and therefore have everything in their favor to "cut it short." Long wind­ed poems are an imposition on the public — when they are presented for the purpose o f being read; but in the majority o f cases the public don’t read them. And what is not read by the public is not welcome reading matter to a live newspaper,

BE CHARITABLE. THOUGH ROBBED. Some people, though exceedingly hon­

est themselves, would condem n a petty theft without m ercy, often placing them­selves below the thief by their unforgiving and uncharitable natures. A theft, o f course, is a l w a y s an act o f selfishness, for it 16 conducts! by a selfish emotion (not a spiritual one), and adds negativity to the spirit in comparison to the amount, and which h a s to be neutralized again by sac­rifices or love-actions to overcom e this negative emotion or earth-attracting qual­ity o f the spirit. B ig thefts are seldom paid to "the uttermost farthing" on this side o f the veil, and the nem esis com es a f­terwards in the form o f a stricken con ­science and the inability to exercise the spirit with any degree o f freedom in con sequence o f this spiritual negativity— hold- the spirit as a prisoner to old haunts and the places where the crime was com mitted. Uncharitableness, which is also negative emotion, has a like effect on the spirit and often brings the denunciator face to face with the thief. Every duty has a sympathetic side to it, but n ot every moralist has sympathy or charily . T h ere­fore, "judge not that y e be not judged;'1 for as we condemn the wrong doer we place ourselves in discord with nature and invite suffering. Be dutiful and firm, hut not without sympathy or charity.

towards our children. A hearty smack on a plum p cheek or a chubby arm sati­ates a longing or a desire not otherw ise neutralized. There seem s to be a quantity o f electricity or m agnetism absorbed or ingested which is n ot otherw ise obtainable, and which lack m ust cause a sort o f m ag­netic starvation. For w hy is the first im ­pulse upon seeing a pretty babe that of kissing it?

It would be cruelty to the hum an race to abolish kissing or prohibited it by stat­ute? W e shall n ot vote the prohibition ticket on kissing, and w e don’t think any other reasonable m inded being would either. L et hum anity kiss. I t is health­ful, erjoyab ’e and harm less. A n old G er­man adage says, "Ein kuss in Ehren, K ann Niem and wehren, (A n honest kiss none can reject,) and therefore let those, who like it, kiss to their hearts content.

Though beyond that period w hen a kiss o f youthful love from a pretty maiden would thrill our entire being— from the kissing nerve on the lips to the centre o f the arterial system in the heart— w e would not decry the habit and selfishly demand | that the evil (?) be abolished because w e 1

have given it up or can no m ore enjoy it, or like old Solom on, when he became too spiritualized to enjoy the material any m ore, cry "all Is vanity." N o , let lovers kiss; for if you don't permit them in the parlor, they w ill make up for it at the street door. S o there is no need in en ­deavoring to suppress it. People w ill kiss despite law, custom , conventionality or the private opinion o f those w hom nobody cares to kiss or w ill k iss. Thus w e say go ahead. K iss your sweetheart, kiss the babe, and don't forget the mother— whether your babe's or you r ow n.

A n Irishman was trying to lead a bull. H e tied the rope to hit wrist and the bull took the lead. H e took it with a ven­geance. A s the Irishm an w as flying around a corner a friend shouted: "W here

But w here the wom an is positive o r radical, sh e d is­likes to subm it her op in ion s to another o f her sex for approval. In this case a nega tive m ale being would answ er. N o th in g is perfect w ithout it contains both the positive and n egative, and thus the w rit­ings o f a too positive (rad ical) or too n eg ­a tive (sentim ental) individual seldom please the popular m ind o r reach the m asses. T h e interm ediate state ia that w h ich is m ost needed for the general reading public, and the writings o f such therefore reach both sexes, and gratify P oets, o f all writers, are the m ost sen si­tive to criticism or to having alterations suggested or m ade for im provem ent.

B ut m any w ould-be poets are a terror to journalists. T o reject their co n ­tributions on account o f im perfection is taken as an insult, and to tinker at them so as not to offend the reader bringa c o n ­dem nation 0 11 the publisher*.

SPIRITUALISM AS A UNIVERSAL ED U« CATOR.

A newspaper or journal, to be instruct* ive, must give a variety o f reading matter irrespective o f its nature—except it be de* voted to som e special science or creed.

Spiritualism embraces all that is o f in* terest to m an. It is a world's science; a universal philosophy; a God-given relig­ion, and consequently cannot be narrowed down to a limited range of thought or scope o f subjects.

A ll that exists belongs to life, otherwise it could not even have been a creation of the imagination. W e cannot create from nothing. W hatever w e can imagine, therefore, is part o f an existing truth; and every such truth is o f benefit to somebody. Th us w e bring reading matter o f every description, because, be the subject ever so unpopular, it w ill interest someone; and , The B e t t e r Way is a universal in­structor— a truly spiritualistic journal; for does not the word itself imply infinity— without limit?

N eed w e be a Theosoph’st because we tell what is going on these circles or give a definition o f its aims? N eed we be a Christian Scientist because we tell what it is? N eed w e be an astronomer because we try to interest those w ho love this sci­ence? Need w e be a Buddhist because we copy an article rela'ing to Buddhism? N eed w e be a patient because we wri'e about disease? O r need w e be a dead m an because w e tell about spirits?

S om e people would like to impute that an editor m ust be a ll that which his paper reflects. O h, w hat rogues the editors o f daily m orn ing papers must be then! Murderers, rapists, robbers, swindlers and politicians! L et us pray! Jehoshaphatl

But this is n ot our subject. We rae*ely wished to call the attention o f our readers to the opening clau se in a manner that would m ake them see the need o f their in* dulgence towards us; and w e hope none w ill hereafter suspect us o f being any­thing e lse excep t a Spiritualist became ve happen to say a word in favor rf other ism o r bring som e new s concerning such. ______ 1

Our Divine Father and Mother Nature— To thee oar hearts go out to day in glad re­joicing and we look ever toward thee as the Fountain of Infinite Light and Truth May we ever be watch to 1, faithful to the trust reposed In us as children o f thy love; ever pressing forward to a grander growth —a nobler purpose, and higher aspirations for humanity. The ages past have revealed their woodroos stores of truth through the guidance of thy fostering care and we rejoice in the sunlight of thy inspiration. Aid us to be true to the right. Amen.

JAMES BOBDOOH.

I gladly come to my dear wife to let her know that I am not dead but I still live in the great spheres of nature and am ever near her side to watch over and comfort her. Mary I have seen the dark lioes of trouble that have drawn themselves so closely around you; and have lightened some of the burdens that would have crashed you but for my help. To Mary L. Robinson, Peoria, 111.

STRATTON MEAD.

Well, my dear, I enjoyed the visits you made in Cincinnati, and was glad to you enjoy yourself as you did. Many sur­prises await you at the end of the journey, and they are pleasant ones for you. 1 hope you may realise more fully each day the fact of my presence and the children's near you. We are all here and send deepest love.

EDWARD L MATTHEWS.

No doubt many of the people in Cincin­nati will remember me when 1 eay that I am Edward Livingstone Matthews, formerly a broker and speculator here end in New York city. To my wife who is now in Cin­cinnati, with her mother, I say I am trying toaidyoutoa better financial prosperity than you have enjoyed hitherto, bat my chief aim is toward laying the foundation for a broader spirituality. If you will look among the papers in my old secre­tary you will find something among them that you have overlooked and it will aid you much in your work.

THOS J SILVER.

When I passed into spirit life I knew the glorious truths of Spiritualism and I knew that It was only a change, a new birth into a grander life and broader planes of unfold- j ment. My wife, I want you to know that I am ever near you to guard and pro t e c t you. The straggle of life has been a hard one to endare and you have B uffered

much from the ingratitude of those for whom you have sacrificed both time and money, bat there will come to you soon the release you long for, but you have a work to do yet before you come to us and a part of the injustice done to yon righted.

MART NEWTON.

The many friends ard relatives who live in and near Bennington, Vermont, and some who are in the far west, will no donbt remember me. I had passed the alloted three score and ten, when the Angel of Life touched me with his wand and called me to my home of immortal beauty. I am happy here, and 1 am ever watching over the loved ones still in earth life, with ten­der love and sympathy. My heart goes ont toward them with deep mother love. May God and his angels ever gnard and bless you all.

HENRY AND JAMES HYNDHAN.

Well, Sam., we think that the best thing we could bring you this morning is “a bas­ket of chips’’ from a spiritual work-shop. The days have passed swiftly over yoor

11 am talking to by what I say. I want her to know that I have been looking up the business she and the white brave with the gray hair and blue eyes were talking

I about the other day and I don’t think she had better accept that offer. It won’t he as as nice as it looks. They mean to keep their promisee hot will not be able to do so. Winnie sends much love to the friends.

WILLIAM NICHOLSON.

My message must be brief this morning, for I am not very strong. Valentine, say that father and all the loved ones are here and watching over you. Give no thought to the sorrows and trials of the past, but press bravely forward to the joys of the future. John and Mary send love. To Valentine P. Nicholson, Foster's Cross­ing, Ohio.

JAMES L. RUFFIN.

I have not come this morning to give s test but to bring myself en rapport with the guides of this instrument in order that may give expression to a few thonghta upon some topics of general interest and at the same lime say that I desire to be remem­bered to all the old friends and to my lov­ing faithful wife, last but by no means the least. I have been lookiog over some matters lately to which my attention was called by a conversation between some of the earth friends, and I have come to the conclusion that now is the time to begin work upon a hall, that shall be the eole property of the Spiritualists of Cinncinnati. Some will say we can hardly meet expenses as it is without hardening ourselves with a hall. Let us see. I believe it is conceded on all sides that no speaker or medium can do as well under the conditions constantly present in your place of meeting, as they could in a hall devoted wholly to Spiritual* ism. The hall must be built.

head bringing many eventful years of change to you. What you are to-day you have become by your owu energy, aided and directed by the spirit loved ones. You will find us drawing closer and closer you as the years roll by, and there will open to yon and your wife a grander and deeper onion of heart and hand, and higher and broader unfoldment of the spir­itual gifts that you both possess and a no bier consecration of your life-work. Many have reason to bless you and many more shall bless yon In the years to come. For the lame have thrown away their crotches and the blind have gazed again on the beauties of nature, on the faces of those dear to them. Believe us that we are ever near you. The years 1852-7 9,1862 3 -4-S-7-9, 1870-1-3-4-5-6-9, '80-2-4-5-7- 88, are years that are marked by events of especial interest to you.

Answer—We do not kaow whether we shall be able to exactly reproduce the re­marks made upon that occasion and shall therefore give you our thoughts upon* the subject as best we may.

When we look abroad over the mighty domain of na tare we query, ‘ Of what is all this wondrously diversified scene com­posed?” The materialist, delving into the inner recesses of mother earth, groping amid dark caverns, replies in sepulchral tones whose muffled echoes come but faintly

the realms of day, that all evolution is matter and that the finer and more subtle forms of nature’s evolution are the product

correlated forces acting upon matter, and that all existence is but a functional

quenoe of matter in its diversified phe- nomens, visible or invisible. (Toe position

the theologian who founds the universe upon a miracle, supports it by a miracle, and provides for its annihilation by a mira­cle, needs no notice at oar hands in this place ) On the other hand we find the re­ply of those who soaring aloft upon Daeda­lian wings of imagination, sing to us in beauteous strains that fl >at to us on fancy- blown breezes: "Behold the heights to which we have soared. The all of exist­ence is spirit and matter is only solidified spirit.” They forget the son of spiritual science has an existence, and soaring too near its ravs, the wings of their imagine tion are melted from their fastenings, and Icarus-like are hurled to the plains below, their erst-while happiness shivered and crushed in a shapeless mass.

These represent the two extremes of be­lief upon this sul j**ct. We reject both of these as illogical and untenable because they do not take into consideration all of the forces and energies of nature. Their position is pre-eminently Unitarian in its application to the phenomena of exist­ence. The poeilion which seems to us af­ter careful examination to be that which proems as its fundamental proposition: " A trinity of subtsance in a unity of man­ifestation.” This is the base upon which spiritual science must stand or fall. There can be no escape from the inevitable con­clusion that if natore presents a trinity of substance In one unit of manifestation, ehe doee the same in all manifestations of her wondrous power and beauty. Substance includes ail of existence, not merely a fragment. The trinity of substance is matter, spirit, and soul. Matter may be defined as that form of substance which contacts with man by and through the so-called special senses. Spirit (if the Indefinable may be defined,) Is that form of substance which

From White Stockings to Blaok.How horrified a well-dressed woman

would have felt a quarter of a century ago had it been proposed to her that she should wear a colored stocking. She would have considered that not only her good taste but her ideas of cleanliness had been outraged. Nothing was a d m is s a b le but a pure white stocking, one on which not even a speck of dust should be seen. Fine and immaculate and sunny white, this was what the swinging skirt must show if, inadvertently the ankle was ex­posed to view.

The first innovation came with the cream-tinted balbripgans, finished so fine­ly that the surface had a silken look. These held their own for a long time. Then came introductory stripes of color, on the cream white, these stripes being ery narrow, hardly more than a hair line,

while the whi'e stripe was very broad. By degrees the stripes widened and the color deepened, until, almost before the women were aware of it, they were wear­ing stockings of a solid color, and admir­ing them, too, immensely.

Pale blue, pale rose, and soft French gray were the fi'st innovations; then came scarlet, navy blue, and seal brown, and by and by all these colors deepened into black, which took the place as the proper color for every-day wear.

Inspirational Writing.A. successful writer speaks as follows

in a private letter: "I know what it is to carefully plan an article, to study upon the subject to be treated, classify my ideas systematically, and work from the begin­ning to the end. I have also experienced a method of writing very different from this, in which I have been entirely igno­rant of what I was about to write, and when the ideas have literally come to me at the point of my pen. I used to expi ess it that ‘I dipped them out of the inkstand.' At such times the impulse leading me to write is imperative. In this manner I have written poety, line by line, never even knowing my subject until developed by the poem itself. At these times I am

a peculiar dreamlike condition when nothing seems real around me. These experiences date back almost as far as I can remember, for when a child of seven years I learned to write down the poems that came to me. Young as I then was, I realized that these poems were not my own, but were dictated by a superior intel­ligence, who or what I did not know, nor did I venture to express this conviction for fear of ridicnl . This was before the days of Modern Spiritualism.”

Parent* and Children.“I have never struck my two children,’

said a young American father the other day, “ though I have often been tempted strongly to it, and sometimes would not have blamed any parent for doing so. But I was thrashed so much by my father, good enough man, too, that I always stood in fear of him, seldom told him the truth if 1 could help it, and never confided in him. Often I was whipped for errors had committed with good intentions, and I remember the wild spirit of hatred that used to come over me at such times, when smarting under the blows I felt I did not deserve, I would get away by myself and swear silent but bitter oaths that would have opened the old gentleman’s eyes to his folly, perhaps, if he could have heard them from so young a child. So I made vow that 1 would never beat my ow: children.

And now I feel sure that they do not stand in physical fear of me. 1 am pretty certain they tell me the truth, and I know they confide in me as a friend. And though they do not obey me nearly as im- plicity as 1 did my father, and make them­selves much more of a nuisance to me than I was to him, yet they don't regard me a bully, and that is something.”—-Ne1 York Tribune.

Solomon wts undoubtedly a wise man his day, but the footsteps which time has planted here and there through the cent­uries since he evolved aphorisms have worn the original gloss off some of them.

I For instance, a patch on the broadest part of a boy’s trousers is, indisputable, a ne thing under the son.

One of the most wonderful caves in the world is the Mammoth Cave of Kentuoky. I t is 130 miles south of I Louisville. I t bas been explored to a distance of about 60 miles. The 200 al­leys traversed within the area reaches about 230 miles.

Audubou Hall, a t the entrance, is .about 26 feet wide and 8 feet high, and leads to an archway known as tho Ro­tunda. This vault covers about half an acre and is from 50 to 60 feet high.

A passage leading from the l e f t o f j the Rotunda is called the Main Cave. From thence it leads downward. Then comes the Church, so-called from a projecting rock, which takeu with a gallery near it, is dubbed the Pulpit, and has been used on occasions by preachers while addressing an audience in the Church.

A litile further on is a large rock of symmetrical shape, 30 feet long and 20 high, lying on the floor. I t is called the Giant's Coffiu. To the left of this is the ti'ar Chamber. A blue light ex hibits a beautiful soene.

About one mile from the entrance the Cataract is reached, a small stream falling frpm a 25 foot incline. Near this it the Bottomless Pit, a hole of igreat depth. Firebrands thrown down are lost to sight before reaching bottom.- Satan’s Throne, or the Dsvil's A rm ­chair, stands near the brink of the Pit.

There is also a River Styx and Dead Sea, on which boats are sailed. Fish without eyes and a species of crawfish are caught therein. A sort of cricket with very long antennae, bats and rats

•compose the animal kingdom o f this underground world.

The air is quite pure and the temper­ature averages about 60 degrees.

T H E LURAY CAVE.

This cave is in Page County, Virginia, and is rich in natural formatio. s, glit­tering with stalactites and many tinted draperies, with cascades of snow white stone interspersed. Within the cave are walk4, bridges, stairways and ra il­ways. Thirteen electric lights illum i­nate the interior. Amoog the objects of interest in the cave are Pluto’s Chasm, the Ball Room, Aogel’s Wing, Frozen Cascade, Tombs of the Martyrs, Fallen Column, Skeleton Gorge, Comet Column and the W et Blanket, these names having been made suggestively.

w e v e b ’s c a v e

is in Augusta County, Virginia, and is about 3000 feet long, with a variety of I halls and beautiful chambers.

CALAVERAS CAVERNS,

of Calaveras County, California, are situated on a tributary of the Calaveras river. Tney were discovered In I860 by Captain Taylor while on a m ining expedition. The la g-st room is known as the Bridal Chamber, beautifully or­namented with pendants from the roof, white as feldspar, and of all possible forms, while stalactites hang from all parts, giving splendor to the whole.

GROTTO O F A N T IPO R A S

on the Island of same name, situated in the Grecian Archipelago, is near the summit of the highest m ountain on the island. Its length is 800 feet, w idth 840 feet, beighth 140 feet. Petrifactions of white marble line part o f the sides. Toe floor is of different colon; the walls and roof are smooth and polished, and are principally composed of red and wbitegraoite, supported by columns of red porphyry. At the end is a sloping wall composed of a single mass of pure purple marble, studded with sprigs of rock crystal. The beauty of this temple of nature is indescribable.

There are other similar grottoes, one in Belgium, one on the Island of Capri near Naples, and several in France.

FIN O A L’S CAVE

i* situated on the island of Staffa. I ts entrance Is formed of a range of col­umns of basaltic rook, supporting an wch. The cave is 33 feet wide, 60 feet high and 212 feet In length. The floor I* the sea. Another called the Scallop c*ve, 130 feet in length, 30 feet high *nd 17 wide, is found on the same 1st-

I *Qd. In the west of Scotland there I t*s other caves, one on the Isle of

known as McAlister’s Cave.BONE CAVERNS.

Bavaria is a cavern In which the

bones of the hyena, wolf, lion, grizzly bear, fox and red deer were identified by Cuvier. A t Preston near Plym outh was found a cave containing the fossils of the rhinoceros. I Q o ther like cav eras in Ragland the rhinoceros was found with skeletons of ex tinct species. In the K en t Hole bronze spear-beads were unearthed. England has a variety of caves, and among them very fine ones. s. s.

Sebastian Gomes, the Painter. Sebastian Gomez was a m ulatto boy,

employed iu th e studio of Murillo, the great Spanish fain ter. He and his father were both slaves. He slept in the studio n ights and after all others were gone, painted. A wonderful plo ture of the Virgin was found there one morning, a t sight of w hich M urillo was lost in adm iration, but no one could tell by whom, it was done. No one suspected the slave m ulatto boy. Oue n ight Sebastian became so entranced with b is paiuting th a t he continued until morning, when Murillo entered the studio and found bltn a t work. Murillo, entranced with th e picture, promised the slave boy w hatever he would ask. T he slave boy asked the freedom of his father.

A t thepe words Sebastian u ttered a ory of joy, and , raising his eyes to his m aster, said:

"The freedom of m y fatherl th e free­dom of m y father!” -

"A nd th ine also,” said Murillo, who, no longer able to conceal bis em otion, threw his arm s around Sebastian and pressed h im to his breast.

"Y our pencil,” he continued, "shows th a t you have talent; your request proves th a t you have a heart. From th is day consider yourself not only m y pupil, but a9 m y son. I have done more than pain t—I have m ade a pa in t­er.”

Murillo k?p t h is word, and Sebastian Gomez better know n under t e nam e of the m ulatto of Murillo, became one of the m ost celebrated pain ters in Spain. T here m ay y e t be seen in the churches of Seville th e celebrated pic­ture w hich be had been fouud paintiug by bis m aster; also a St. A nne, adm ir­ably done; a holy Joseph, w hich is e x ­tremely beautiful; and others of the highest m erit.

A C R I T I C I S M .T o th e E d i to r o f T h e B e tte r W ay.

In your issue of Septem ber 7th, in an article signed A. H . N icholas, on th e "Spirit W orld,” I read , there , are "m ountains, lakes, m ineral veins” and m any o ther th ings w hich a re prepos terous to thiDk of for one m oment. A l­so theatres and places of am usem ent to gratiry th e tastes of the young. Now w hat does all th is m ean? Is it to detract from the spiritual world the g eat fun­dam ental tro th s laid dow n in th e word of God. God forbid! th a t we should trifle with these g rea t and all-absorbing tru ths—th a t we, as spirits, should find noth ing to em ploy our tim e but a ttend­ing upon earth ly am usem ents, and in feeding our souls on w orldly enjoy­m ents, th a t w hen th e body is laid away the sp irit should take up those am use­m ents for the s tke of being enterta ined .

Now all th is cannot be. T h e world in which we are s triv ing to help each o ther up in to a h igher and purer state of holiness, cannot com e dow n to earth ly am usem ents th a t we enjoyed w hile in the body. No, we left all these w hen oar bodies were laid in th e m other earth, and our spirits pu t on im m ortal­ity. We, as a band of spirits, denounce any th ing of the k ind . M y dear friends, noth ing but a sordid m ind could th ink of such thing*; and m ore th an tha t, we are pained to th ink of beiog so low in the relrns of the ju s t as to have earth ly condition•» brought in to sp irit life.

This is from a sp irit th a t has been here nearly a quarter of a century, and has conversed w ith some of the brightest stars th a t ever acted on the stage of hum an existence—with Shake- peare and many o thers—and all confess th a t m any tim es before they left the earth , disgust and wear!uess made them but glad to leave all behind them .

I write this through m y medium, th a t m en m ay no t be disappointed when they come to th is side of life, and especially the youog, th a t they m ay not be expecting som ething th a t they will not find. M tn y will be coining to re ­ceive the reward promised to those th a t have been faithful over a few things, have lived lives of holiness in the service of God, and for their bene­fit also I bave written these words.

T H E O D O R E W IN T H K O P . Through m edium ehip of H . M. G.[W e are sorry th a t so exalted a spirit

as the above should come dow n from his lofty realms, to find fault w ith a mor­ta l who has been so k indly g iving his thoughts to the world. There are m any spirits of this category whom Mr. N ich­olas could benefit very muoh, and we advise them to take a few lessons from him .—E d ] •

N o other expressions of hum an voli­tion or feelings eq u a l ' in grandeur those through which the soul Id m o­m ents of high inspiration, catching a glimpse of its Im m ortal estate, sets a seal on its claim to th a t heritage, in a few golden words! Such words, aglow and throbbing w ith the w arm th and the power of his great loving heart, I cherish as the last benediction I heard from the lips of the m an, who stood half a century In unswerving defence of "T he R ight to Investigate,” as against the church formula, "H e th a t belleveth not, shall be dam ned! ”

The occasion was the 31st of March, anniversary m eeting of the Children’s Lyceum, two years ago, iu Paine H all. Mr. Seaver had been chosen, among other speakers, to address the children and assembled friends, a t the close of the Lyceum exercises. A fter a happy allusion to the enjoym ent and benefit he had realized in the near presence of the children, even when his duties had not perm itted him to be in the hall with them ; w hat comfort and strength he had caught w hen a door opened and the sounds of their voices in song or recitation, or the measured tram p of their feet in the m arches had floated in ­to his sanotum , as be eat a t work a t bis desk, bow their pleasant behavior and their resolute efforts to learn had now his regard and esteem, he closed his de­lightful address w ith—"A nd m ay we love each other, forever!”

T he illum ination w hich cam e over his face as he lifted it heavenw ard and caught th a t glorious word w hich he flung out to us w ith ringing trium phan t em phasis; the arch of soft sp irit light which circled his brow as be bowed his massive head In silent good-bye. m ade a picture I have always loved to recall, and especially now th a t he bas joined L iberty’s daughters and sons who up ­held and Inspired 'h im through his years of arduous work for her cause! How gratefu lly happy I w ent home from th a t meeting, happy th a t a t last this royal hero for natu ral righ ts bad caught suoh a gleam of ligh t from su­perior spheres as to overleap all l im i­tations. and his soul m ake its transcen ­den t claim for a fulfillm ent o f its noblest hopes and desires.

Will not the friends who rear th e (I hope sim ple aud plain) shaft to the m em ory of good Mr. Seaver, cu t in its g rau lteo r m arble his assertive claim to im m ortal life iu bis own soulfull prayer —"M ay we love each other, forever! ”

B oston, Sept. 28.—[Special to the IScripps League.] —Postm aster G eneral W anam aker has 6tirred up a veritable hornet’s nest in th e cam p of th e sp irit­ualists- H e will find it out n ex t m onth w hen th e G rand Rapids, M ich., grand ju ry listens to th e case of Dr. W . E Reid, of th a t tow n. T he doctor is an expert m edium and has a knack of read ­ing sealed letters and d ivulging the ir contents. H e calls h im self a so rt of oe- lestial telegraph com pany, w ith spirit circuits ram ify ing all over th e m ateria l and angel worlds. People in all parts of the country have been patronizing the celestial telegraph com pany, and M r. W an am ak e r’s post-offices have been used extensively in transm itting messages.

Jo h n pulled th e celestial te legraph operator out of his shop by th e ears, landed h im in ja il an d p u t h im under bonds, th e specific charge being th a t Reid had "know iug ly and w rongfully obtained o r professed to obtain messages from sp irit land to order.”

“Prof.” Jos. Bodes B uchanan, “ M. D .,” one of the m ost intensely incensed Boston spiritualists, is the editor of the Journal o f M an. " I believed we were liviDg in a republic,” be says, "b u t since his G alvanistic M ajesty Jo h n W atia m aker issued his last edict against the freedom of the pen in h is prosecution of Dr. Reid, I th in k it is a debateable ques­tion. W henever the g rea t postm aster general does not believe in any th in g he can order the prosecution of those who do believe and who do the th in g th a t he condem ns. T he Reid case is a test case to see if spiritualism cannot be put dow n by th e law whenever spirituaiis 's m ake use of th e post-office. If the principle is sustained it is the m ost gi­gantic usurpation th a t has been a t­tem pted since the federal governm ent was formed, and would give our nation­al postm aster th e power iu some re­spects of a Rom an despot.”

[T he above is a fair sam ple in wbiob som e of our secular papers regard and treat Spiritualism . B u t they are in the m inority. Respectable newspapers e x ­h ib it the sam e deference toward Spirit­ualism th a t they dem aud for them selves and the ir religious belief, and we can therefore now afford to publish the above as a sam ple of bigotted ignorauce, as it still exists in the m idst of civiliza­tion and sm ile a t the folly.—E d ]

I t has alw ays been adm itted th a t a person’s hom e bespeaks bis obaraoter. no one denies th a t dress, tone of voice and m anner a re indications of charac­ter, but there is som ething far deeper th a n an y th in g th e outward eye can see or ear observe; there is a sub 'le pervasive m agnetism or ra the r psychical influ­ence, th a t goes w ith people; th a t appeals irresistibly to its own affinities in the natures of all that Ic approaches; to uti­lize this subtle, finer force, to come Into rapport w ith the better features of hu­m an nature, by appealing to w hat is loveliest in hum an character, is to set for yourself a high Ideal and try to live up to It in suoh a m anner as to lift others to th a t high level alio. A teacher not only needs a high ideal for himself and scholars, he needs an unwavering con­viction that no m atter how Idle or even vicious his pupils m ay be, th a t they are endowed with every conceivable virtue in tbeir inm ost constitution: let the children or young people feel th a t naughtiness is really expected of them ; th a t they have a reputation as black sheep, and that they are really not e x ­pected to be w hite ones, and they will very soon confirm tbeir teacher’s ex ­pectations concerning them .—Colville.

S u f f e r e r sC R O M Stomach and Liver derange- * m e a t s —Dyspepsia, Biliousness', Sick- Headache, and Constipation—find a safe

1 and certain relief in Ayer's Pills. In all coses where a ca­thartic is needed, these Pills are recom­mended by leading

| physicians.Dr. T. E. Hastings,

of Baltimore, says: "Ayer’s Pills are the best cathartic and

I aperient within the f reach of my profes-

_I slon." 'Dr. John W. Brown, of Oceana, W .

Va., writes : " I have prescribed Ayer's Pills in m y practice, and find th e m ex­cellent. I urge their general use in families."

" For a number of years I was afflicted with biliousness which almost destroyed niy health. I tried various' r e m e d ie s , hut nothing afforded me any relief until I began to take Ayer’s Pills."—G-,S. Wanderlich, Scranton, Pa.

" I have used Ayer’s Pills for the past thirty years, and am satisfied I should not be alive to-day if It had not been for them. They cured me of dyspepsia

* when all other remedies failed, and tneir . occasional use has kept me in a healthy condition ever since."—T. P. Brown, Chester, Pa.

"Having been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer’s Pills, and deem it both a duty and a pleasure to testify that I have derived great ben­efit from their use. For over two years past I have taken one of these Pills every night before retiring. I would not

i willingly he without them.” —G. W. Bowman, 26 East Main st., Carlisle, Pa.

"Ayer’s Pills have been used in my family upwards of twenty years, and have completely verified all that is claimed for them. In attacks of piles, from which I suffered many years, they afforded me greater relief than any med­icine I ever tried."—Thomas F. Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

AT.T.TK LISDSAT LYNCH.Mediums, mediums, mediums; our

papers tell of so many in the east and in the west, and here we sit in hanger. Among all the array of good mediums is there not even one who is good at heart to the extent of visiting Memphis and taking chances at their purse being replenished? Won’t some one of them try? A oily of no leas than 60,000 whites, among whom are many luke­warm Spiritualists, and all onr travel­ing mediums to pass it by! I t is a shame!

There are a great many of onr medi­ums who "desire calls to lecture, etc.,” but that mostly means desire pay in re­turn. There are "calls” enough going forth horn city, town and hamlet in each issue of our Spiritualistic papers, bnt the few who so urgently call seldom have the means to hire a medium. How many mediums could dispense with a new wardrobe and look neat in their last winter’s garbs and give the money needed for the new to this char­ity—than which there is none on earth so great and so approved by the angels?

Id o not know the length of your parse, bat I would appeal to tboee who could, for one month, give us their time and mediamistic efforts. The lecturer and test combined conld, I am sore, bless the people of Memphis. A few of us will assist in the expenses all we can; possibly enough to cover railroad fares and board, bat, oh! how much we need you. Who will respond? Who will come among ns and let their light shine? God knows if I had means I would lease a hall and employ good mediums the year round; but I haven’t, and I can only cry aloud—come, come, come!

f come to me—not many,

fori am bnt little acquainted here—and say, " 1 want to investigate; I want to know,” and I can only say, "bow sorry I#m we have no good developed medi­um in Memphis.”

Only a good medium conld do us much real service, for Memphis has suf­fered of late years from undeveloped ventures of mediums. I c«n think of so many who might fill this need. A medium who could combine sittings with their public work, could do a good work for himself (or bereelf) and many who desire to bear from their spirit friends. Who will come and open tbe way for a regular yearly siege? Don’t every one pass this call by. Come on, even it yon must start with private lec­tures In my cottage home. "Who can know the end? "Small beginnings,” you remember, often accomplish great good.

If there is each a thing as a sincere desire sent forth being able to accom­plish good, then surely some one'will respond. Mediums, I have at this mo ment thought of a plan. ’Tis this: Among yourselves club together and raise a sufficient fund to rent a respect­able hall and pay good mediums for this winter's active campaign at this point, in after yean (lecture seasons) reap your reward. Who will set the example? Oh! do remember the blindness of Memphis, where creed has barred away the light of Spiritualism! Come to our aid. We starve, and are there none to send ub nnrishmem? Johnstown was not so needy—and Johnstown’s call was not in vain.

Dr. A. B. Dobson vs. Old School Practice Omeral, Holt Co., Neb.—Dr. A. B

Dobson, Dear Sir: You no doubt recog­nize my hand-wir ing in the numerous let tere sent you by Mrs. Judith Binkerd, of this place. She And her husband are neighbors of mine, and her husband, Mr John Binkerd, Sen., is a minister. Mrs. Binkerd asked me before 1 wrote to you for her if I knew of a magnetic healer or | spiritual doctor that I could recommend I directed her to you and your spirit band, and she reques ed me to write for her. The diagnosis wu so truthful that both she and her husband believed that your band could cure her; but when the first prescrip tion came she was suffering so that it wu thought she wu dying and no use to take the medicine; but her husband urged her to take it, and she did with the happiest ol results. Mrs. Binkerd hu had a house full nearly all the time she had been tak ing your remedies, and she says she feels u well u she did when she wu a girl; she is now over seventy years of age. Sne hu recommended your treatment to all, and we hear the best kind of reports from those that are taking your medicine ac­cording to the direction of your spirit band.

Truly and kindly yours, a . c . b a r n e s .
