-j BY MOSKS A. DOW.

Editohs Banner of Light-I have not given you any account of my experiences in Spiritual­ism since my article oil Spirit-Faces at Moravia, N. Y., where 1 had tlie pleasureof seeing thefaees aiid hearing the words of my friends, as well as

■ .those of other believers present al the time, lint neither my experiences nor iliy failli have in flic least diminished, but have heemne positive, and tlie evidences of the truths of Spiritualism are, to me, as to all (rue believers, stronger “ thnn.proof of -Holy Writ,’” if. the popular construction of tliat sacred volume is to be adopted. My object now is to relate some things I have recently seen of physical phases^of Spiritualism in this vicinity.

There is, within a distance of two miles of tlie State House, a lady in independent circumstances, who has a son now nearly twenty-one years of

■ age, which son is a niedium of -no ordinary puw- -ers. Uis sittings arc attended by about fifteen personal friends of the medium, who meet weeklyi at his mother’s house by special invitation, and no otliiirs are admitted except by special favor, as nothing is asked for mlmittaiice. I ain one of those who have that privilege, ami. attend the

• séances almost every week. . . ;Tlie eompaiiy are seated around a table about

four feet square, the medium being one of tlie number, having their hands connected. Soon raps are-lieiud on the table, and the. spirits are

- asked if tliey wish: to communicate by alphabet, . and tlie responses being.in the afilrmative, tlie al- pliabet is called, and their names and wishes are

. expressed. . A little tea bell is pufoii the liopr;. under tliw’tiihle,. that i-s.rung loudly, keeping... time with the piano,.which is being played by a

■ ; ypûiïg lady present. 1 will state what else.has ./ -Æcimrrcd, not confining myself toMhose.of any

one evening, but. during the sittings of two or three successive, evenings, affirming all Isay to be nothing but ' the truth, for I Imve immotivé whatever for representing any thing in a different

'light. - . .After tlie simple mutters which tire here related

have ceased, the-niedium is entranced by nn In- ■ diaii girl, whose nanje is given as “Snow-Flnké.”

. . She is a shrewd little spirit, very much.like thelittle spirit, “ Willie,” tlie controlling spirit/of Mrs. M. M. Hardy, whose pert teachings have become extensively known ilnd "acknowledged. I will relate Snow-Fluke’s words: in plain Ehg-

. lis’h, though they are expressed in the Indian. dialect. In the first place she says, “ Let the

-window down from tlie top,” which is imniedi- ately done by .some one present. She then së-

■ lects three or four of the. most skeptical persons ’ present, as a committee to exainine tlm cabinet,

to ascertain if there'is anything tliat looks like ; •deception or humbiig, tlie medium all this time

A. beingin ah iiiïeonsçious state.- The cabinet is made of’dark cambric, about

, five feet wide, eight feet high, closed in-front anibthe two sides, the buck being the wall against -which it is placed, the front, having an opening

' about five feet high and eighteen inches square, . made in.such à way,that the sides turn back and

• '~7biittoii to the curtain,' which caiybe unbuttoned, arid the hole is nearly closed. :

, The medium goes into the cabinet at one side, ' and takes n seat. in n chair nt .the right;.facing-

toward the centre. Tlie giislights are almost ex­. thigiilshcd, aiid n lantern' placed mi-the mantel­

: piece, with the’ leii.s casting, a light'directly on tlie opening in thé curtain. - As ¿ooiv/as' all is ready, tiie spirits niake their'appearance. My

, / friend Mabel Warren is always preseiit, jind slithas never yet failed to manifest nt every oppor­tunity. given her to do so. She put her n,rm

, •proiigh Die opening, the light striking directly upon it. The arm was dressed in a white cii'm- brie sleeve. There was a band around tlie wrist, and frills, about an inch wide, made of tlie same material, were on both sides, and thé.'rest of the arm, up to the elbow, was covered by the same material, made up with great taste. , ’

“Snow Flake” said that Mabel would like tp give us some music, and’ Would first show us the instrument on which she pliiys.- -Iiistantiy thrt beautiful hand appeared,-holding between the, ilnmib and finger a harmonica about five inches long, one and a half inches wide, black, with gilt edges, which shone brightly as the light' from the lantern fell upon it. Iler face was also seen much plainer than I ever saw it at Moravia, and the hand moved to the face, placing the instru­ment to t ië lips, anil the tune of “Sweet Home” was played in u soft, plaintive tone, in company

. . with the piano, which was also played in an un­i dertonc. As Hie sweet strain ended the face

glided away from the opening, and the music '■ was heard after Mabel’s face passed from sight.

Tlie same beautiful spirit also liolds a white handkerchief at tlie ¡opening, aiid, sometimes throws it at tlie audience. At one time she-did

. .so, arid “Snow Flake” said, after it had been 'thus thrown— 1

- .......-■■'njj’ow she be going to throw it at the one she /intends it for !”

In a moment tlie handkerchief was sent with much force over Hie heads of tlie. inside circle, and struck me on the breast. It had been rolled up into a ball so as to aid its progress. • •

A lady present had been promised, by a cousin who died about twenty years ago, that she should have some flowers. On this occasion a lady’s arm appeared at the opening, dressed in a black silk sleeve, tight at the wrist, with a white band, a style in vogue when she passed away. She

। held in her hand some beputiful flowers, which ■ seemed like natural ones. “Snow Flake” says : • • f ■ ■ ■ ■

“She wonts tlie Indy to come and take tlie Howers I" '

Hie lady stepped iqi to the opening and held out her hand, and received t wo roses, lately torn Irani some stalk, wet with the. damp, cold atmo­sphere. She took the flowers to the company present, and all testified tliat they were real, nat­ural roses, full of fragrance nnd beauty. The lady took the flowers home and kept them several (lays, until they were faded. The spirit after­wards told the lady that they were taken from a greenhouse near Mount Auburn. They were

I chair in which J was sitting, and immediately I | was gently moved back with the chair about one ’ foot from the table. There was a (.'hair standing - at. tiie side of tiie room opposite from where 1 was ' sitting, which the Doctor asked if the spirits i would move, and instantly the chair was moved । over four feet up to the table. The. Doctor then I took a small bell and placed it ou the (lour under ; die table, and directly in front of me, ifnd in

plain sight.; lie then took an accordion, opened j it so tliat 1 could seetha’t there was no machinery j.aside from" Hie usual keys, and after closing it,

evidently brought into the room during the short pie held it with his right hand with the end eon- time, that the window was open. ! tabling the keys suspended under the edge of the. Another spirit, of the masculine gender, put j table, yet in my sight; immediately 1 saw it his arm out, in his white shirt-sleeve, and the .....................button at the wrist could be plainly seen. He be-gan to whistle, and would whistle almost any tune called for—“ Yankee Doodle,” “PopDoes tlie Weasel,'’ “Hail Columbia,”“Star-SpangledBan­ner,” “Mocking Bird,” and various tunes tliat were new to most of us. Instead of‘raps, liewould answer by whistles, three meaning //»?.*,. and one meaning no—the ‘rn’o being given with an accent tlia't indicated decision, as though he

- work back and forth, but it did not play a regn­! lar tune. Soon (lie Doctor asked if a certain

spirit (whose name I have forgotten) would piny a tune, and instantly a lively tune was played, the bell under the (alile meanwhile, keeping time with it. Soon I noticed the bell thrust up-in front of me under the edge of the table, still ringing as though held by some one under it, amt in a Jew

meant no. . ’ . - . -I would remark that, during- al) the time the

whistling was going on, the medium had ii hnnd- kefchief tied over his mouth, and his hands were:

• tied to Ills knees. He was obliged to coine out

moments it was thrown up on the table, and then the music ceased) and the séance closed. ■

I have thus, Messrs..Editors, given you an im- perfcc't description’ of a seance in full gaslight,

who therefore require not ropes or chain-, lo ciiin- pensale for the nbseiiee of inlegrily within them­selves, amt whn, coiisei|iie»lly, have ri'liclied Ihe

I mental and spiritual altitude necessary to jiermil I Ilie higher denizens of Ihe next World lo gel near j the eirele, to manifest with great power. Soon- I er or later studi circles most lie formed, whether j Spiritualists or disbelievers like it or not, for Ihe i very simple, reason. Ihat Hie best manifestations I eannol be obtained in the absence ol-these ciin- I dilions. In .spiriimilisin muller is subordinate to ; spirit . A hard materialist who attempts to pul I physics liet'ore spiritual truth, does not seethe' I finest manifestations, or tlie full extent of Ilie power of spirits ’over matter. The phenonieim, therefore, so operate upon Iiini as to put him through an ediieatimml .process, resulting in liis

] own nn'iilii) and moral improvement, jl'hére is I not a imiti'i'iali.sl who 1ms passed many years in I the honest .'iltempt to reduce .Spiritualism to nie- I elmnies, hut Ims Immd liimsell' (o have beim made j a belt er a nd a kinder imiti,' through clr('iim- ! stances which appeared to ilim to he failures. Is

not this result a better one tor him,-(han if he had succeeded in applying a new force (o llie, moving of carts?—suoli’work, which might heller

al Dr. .Slade’s. If any readers of the . Banner should elm nee to be lit New York, and have the time to spare, tliey would do well to call on Dr. Slade lind witness the ninniïestntions that take place;.through his mediumship, as I have-no

(still in a trance) to be released, knowing no­thing of wiiat had occurred whiic. in tlm trance— . , , ., ................. ■not even that he had been so tied. Any'one wlm doubt the most Incredulous would bn satisfied. ,

The Protectionof Media.- Within the last eighteen months a vast propor­tion of tim popular prejudice against Spiritual­ism has been reiúoved, moie ('specially in conse­quence of the publication of (lie. report of the Di- ideëtical Committee, and because of the- recent, dismissions of the subject in the Times and other ’

all who desire inay have, an opportunity of wit­nessing his wondi'i'fiti powers. ■ ' ,

One other incident 1 will mention,'and their close this already extended letter. /,: '• .

‘ . Af the last séithcc.-wlii.eh I attended there was a gentleman present who Imd never witnessed anything of tlie kind before, mid came out of .cn- rhisitÿ.

tlie audible talking of the spirits? Nice puhsniiil pert answers to curious questions were plainly heard. Tlie voices were of the same tone and fully as clear as any that1 evih- heard in. Mo­ravia. All this is true, and yet tlie timid unbe-

Editons Bannhiior Light—Having frequent­ly seen iii the Banner reports of manifestations through the mediumship , of . Dr. H. Sliide, 210 West-13d street, NewYork, and being.in the city last Tuesday, Lealled (it l)r. Slade's qlliee for tlie purpose of witnessing for myself, if possible, smile of ithe dilierent manifestations that, take place through the mediumship of tins truly wonderful medium. I' Was very fortunate lit finding the Doctorat home,'and ready and willing to give me a sitting ; and wo titmice went to j.iis séaiiee- robni,[Which has so often been described iii tiie Banner that it .is unnecessary for me here toule-

’scribe it. After lighting the gas (as it wiis near­ly 6 Pl M.), and removing the elotli.froin the table,

Aye at once took our scats ground it. I sat with my feet under-the tablé and. directly facing it, and the Doctor on tiie side at,my left,, with his feet entire]}’from under it and in full view from, me. -Almost iimiiedmtely after joining. hanilS| rapsAvi'.re heard iinder the table and on my chair. Tlie Doctor asked if the spirits would .write oh the slate,, which was. answered. byr three raps, which means yes.. -He then took a slate-pencil, broke off a small piece about half tlie size of a grain of wheat, and placed it on the shite, which he held with his right hand under the edge of tlie table, his, left hand resting on tlie table with mine ; but after waiting a few moments and get-, ting no response, lie-placed the slate on the table with tlie piece of jieneil under it, and immediate­ly we heard a noise like a pencil writing on the slate, which soon ceased witlrthree-taps. ' '

On turning it over, we found written on it, “ My son, I am very happy to meet you here to­night,” and signed N. Stiilinan. He then held tlie slate under the edge of the table, as at first, and immediately we heard the noise of tlie pencil as before, and when it eeased we found written on it, “ I was not disappointed in my religion, ” and signed "N. S." I would here say that my fa­ther, N. Stillman, was a ftr;n Miner in the uran'l truths of Spiritualism, and that he passed to the higher life in November, 1866, tlie immediate cause being heart disease. He was fully aware that he would not recover from the fatal attack, and almost his last Words were, “ I have no fears of tlie future." This last communication would therefore seem to confirm the truth of the religion lie believed in, in earth-life. I then had four com­munications in tlie same manner as the last, eaeh signed N. S., (which initials I noticed were a,f«c simile of liis writing in earth-life,) after which the Doctor asked if the spirits would move the 1

have lieen too sharp for him. This is the one objectionable spot in the.Times article, which otherwise.did so much good for Spiritualism.

Just as sonic ol' the best telegraphic instru­ments require (o be un'der the eare of. a skilled electrician, nnd not an ordinary clerk, even so should a wry sensitive medium be sui'rouiidcil with experienced Spiritualists only, thut the best results maybe obtained.

After passiijg through his first diilieul-. ties, and learning the impossibility of reducing Spiritualism to mechanics, a course of moral Im-, jirovenii'ilt will go on within himself.

Arising, she stood before a full-length mirror smoothing the dark folds of ber;splendid hair, and arranging the rich tassels of hot:.blue silk mornlng'iiabit, and turned to meet, the visitor an­nounced. •. . ■ . ■. "Mr. Leslie.” : . ■ ’ ' . : ' '

He was a tali, line-looking man of perhaps twenty-live years of age,Villi a handsome, intel­ligent countenance, and an air of. true politenesswhich distinguished him asai inan of sound good j sense, combining the fashionable air am| manner i with rare nianiy excellence ami truemerit; not I passing with power nlpm; among Ilie gay and. । lie irfless, but also among the honored and the I learned.: ■ . ■ . ■ ■ .. ■ :

: Julia touched the hell, anil ordered the seTvant who obeyed the summons to call Limisi'. . 1

" Plazo ma’am, Imi, imliide, Miss Louise ean- not lave.now, for she's got her hands in the pit’ ] ehrust, bless her sweet sowl !” • .

“Obeyme, this instant!" commanded .Iulia; ami the daughter of the Emerald Isle closed the dour with a bang, and deseended to thekitehen.

“I am truly ashamed to say; Mr.-Leslie, tliat my-'sister lias some very stiqnge notions i that of assisting -the cook a certain number: of. hours ■ everyday, for instance, l^im afraid,” slieadded,. gayly, “you will be troubled wit'ii her very .much before you can rid her of .them ; for when she is Mrs. Leslie, you will have a little, idea of my anxiety on her account.” - ■ . .

IVe will here inform the reader that Mr. Leslie and Louise wijre betrothed. 'Diere was a slight curl of the genUenian’s,lips, but he mude no re­ply. ..- .. '■■' ; . . •

“ Louise is a strange girl ;” and Miss Winters, plnyeil nervously witli her wateh-ehain. ■ “Do you not think,” she continued, “it is a singular, as well as foolish idea, that a young lady should understand all the mysteries of the kitchen, Mr. Leslie?” . . ■ . : ■■ .

There was no reply; for the door was thrown open, ami Louise entered. Site was dressed in a simple gingham, plain, and nent, with a. linen collar and silk apron. Her soft curlsAvere thrown carelessly back from her sweet ftlce, flushed, with exercise’’ and a playful siniie wreatJieiriiierTosy lips as she extended her hand to the visitor. ’

" I did not keep you waiting to iniike a more approved toilet,;Mr. Lesili»,” she said, gayly. “I have biieii busy in thè kitchen’this.morningAyltli Jane—which, according to iny views, is a ..very pli'iisant as well as profitable way .of spending a forenoon.’.’ . :'. "So udii think housework'.plcawiit I Young hidipsgenerally pronounce it drudgery;” replied lier lover, sini iing. ■ ’ ■' ./;,.■■■ .’.’ " Indeed !” answered Loitisc, “ it eaii be made, a drudgery, as well as all other things, and to one inexperienced,-.with’uo teacher, it would be truly so; but I enjoy myself very well thus engaged?’'

“ But do you really thiiik it pleasant?” persist­ed her t'ompaniyn. ■ / '. -, .- . .

“ I truly do ; bile should know, how: things should be done—and learning is not a disgraceful task.” ;ó'' < ■■■ ' ■■■ -.j!':? r

" But work in the kifelicn is tiresome.” i ’ ■ " Not more than that of tlie parlor. ■ We ¿fteii see.yoinig ladies toó weak to make a bell or dust a riunii, who practice many hours at thè pianò; and dance ii-good part of :tlie night without ae-: knowledging themselves weary.” ■ .

“ You. see how very set she is in her way, Mr.- Leslie," .remarked Julia, who was; no doubt, very much shocked at Louise’s'" vulgarity,” and wished to change the subject. So the. conversa­tion turned into a general channel, and sjoon Mr, Leslie arose and took his leave.. - , . •

■ followed ¿Mrs. Harvard into the kitchen, where . she installed herself forthwith-.

■ Now we will not attempt to describe the scene that followed. ' Biddy had previously attended to chamber-work-alone ; but as she was out of a place, concluded to try her. hand in the kitchen. Did Mrs. Harvard order pudding, custards, or any kind of pastry, they never bore the least re­semblance to what they were intended. Bread, •meat, vegetables, were entirely ruined in tlie cooking; the kitehen and dining-room were*al- •ways in tlie utmost confusion and disorder; to say nothing of pantry.and cellar ; the parlor and

■sleeping-rooms were but slightly put in order; .everything became disorder, and Julia, tired and sick of tlie- management, grew peevish and sul­len, greeting her husband to the. dirty, dusty

-parlor and uninviting table with an ill-eoneealed fi own. . . . ■ —..’ "Can’t you learn Biddy tokeep a neater house'’ and cook better?” asked Mr. Harvard pleasant­ly, one evening, as lie sat . by the little, centre­table and pointed to the pretty lamps all covered

with grease and dirt. .The remark was not in­tended as a reproof, but Julia iinswered shtjrply.:

“ I ’think yfurmiglitJiave known, better than to : get . sueh a girTasliiddy.. Ciui’t I learn her ? I never was brought up foi\drudgery;” . ;

Kind readers, let us pass oyer two years. Louise is.hnarried, and now occupies one. of the handsoinest.residences in thiscity; for Mr. Leslie is quite weanhy, iind:.his bride enjoys every lux­ury that wealth cair purchase. Yet her domestic ediicatiqn is very usef ul; she presides oyer her own household. Although they live richly, nothing is wasted. The elegant rooms show plainly Louise’s taste and skill, while she possesses that knowledge which enables her to know how to di­rect her servants, and to judge if things are done

’in the rjght manner. 1 need not say how much benefit she would derive from her domestic edu­cation in the ease of a reverse of .fortune, for that will be very easily seen.

And Julia—the bright, beautiful Julia—had, too, found one she loved for himself alone: a man noble and good, with talent of a high order, and a lawyer by profession : he is.far from being rich, but Julia considers her large property will make them independent; and they intend, after their marriage, to remove to a neighboring-state, there to find a home in some village or City. ’

It was but a few weeks previous to her in­tended bridal that Julia sat by the .window of her luxurious apartments, playing carelessly with the heavy curtain tassels, ami gazing out upon the moving crowd on the pavement, when a ser­vant opened the door, and informed her that her father wished to see her in the library. .

With’a lightand graceful step Julia obeyed the summons. She found her aged father reclining in his easy-chair, his trembling hands pressed over his furrowed checks, and his silver hair Boating above his care worn, brovj. There were tears coursing down.' liis face and trickling be­tween his fingers, and liis whole form trembled

.■ '..-Troy Lyceum. '• Messb's. Editors—Knowing that thoLyccitm interest ever has prominence in youiTegard, I

"venture to place at your disposal a brief refer­ence to tlie cheering, aspect that the glorious angeVschooi iii this city now presents. Its Con­vention-days command, from mon th to month, as large an attendance as tlie i’iifijbrity of Lyceums attract at their exhibitions, anil they arc emi­nently’worthy such attentions. Taking all the exercises into consideration,'certainly the Troy. Lyceum excels all others that it has been my privilege to attend. Particularly is this tlie fact with regard to tlie order prevailing,'and the won­derful proficiency in tlie direction of declamation and recitation. As the honored and loved Con­ductor (Bro. Benj. Starbuck) summoned each group in succession, the response was ahnost uni­versal, some of them sending forth three, and in several instance’s four representatives to tlie ros­trum. It was a sight calculated to thrill with de­light every progressive mind, as it surely did that of every, bright angel bending over the scene, with an appreciation of tlie inestimable value of the advantages thus being attained. A distin­guishing peculiarity in this favored band is, tliat a large proportion of its present leaders have as­cended through the various groups, thereby se­curing tlie most competent and deeply interested officers, and thus actualizing the Lyceum plan as it was given from tlie Summer-Land. Another remark-able feature presented js a brass band composed of twelve members—nine of whom are graduates from the groups—who, with their admirable leader and instructor, Prof. Holcomb,

■at their head, are indeed an honor to the institu­tion which has fostered and encouraged their musical genius.

The beautiful fraternal feeling tliat pervades this Lyceum follows even the retiring member.; as was recently evinced by the presentation to tlie. former leader of Excelsior Group, Air. Barto, of a token of loving remembrance ; and I under­stand tliat a likememento of appreciation awaits tuiother, who.is about to be severed by the cir- sumstances of life from this highly-prized con­nection. But, to my mind, the crowning point of excellence of this Lyceum is the operation of what are called ‘(The Moral Police Force” and “The Aid Society, ’ whose members, together,

. What the Country Needs.It is seldom that we find in a religious sheet’

words so full of pith and moment as the follow­ing, from the columns of thé Christian Union :

“In the young days of the Bepublie, civic honesty went hand-iii-hand with simple, Goil- servingways ; but the hot sunshine, tlie relaxing influences of prosperity, bring disintegration. 'Die intoxication of success makes giddiness and madness. Infidelity is the bane of prosperous America ; not that infidelity which questions the ritual and shakes the rails about the. chancel, but the deeper infidelity of heart and life, that bows down every day before, the Golden Calf, let the Sunday service' be what it may ; that infidelity which'makes religion a sealed compact of the soul, instead of tlie living sacrifice of the selfish and sensual in man. Pestilences are not averted by long prayers, nor by carrying ‘the host’ in procession through plague-stricken streets. Pu­rification, cleanliness, chloride of lime and fresh water are the only votive offerings for an offended physical law. So in the moral world. The Mo­doc Indian, aflame among the mountains, reeks nothing of Athanasian Creed, or the Thirty-nine Articles, or the Synod of Dort ; but he can un­derstand the meaning of a broken pledge, of dis­carded faith and slighted guarantees. The pa­triarchal Mormon, waxing fat in the material prosperity of flocks and. herds and wives, snaps his fingers at a Republic that ciinsecrates the ta­bles of the money-changers, and challenges its Christianity to the proof. Tlie words that are needed to lie inscribed on tlie Constitution of every State, ou thé manual of every legislative assembly, and on the conscience of every citizen, are Honesty ami Honor! A French Republic may deny or reaffirm, in archives of State, the existence of a God; Republican America best., shows .by her fruits, by her walk among the na­tions, her faith that he lives and rules.” cw.

Two armies on the trampled shores .That death Hows back between. .

And bears upon a crimson scroll, ■ " Our glory is to slay.”

One moves in silence by the stream, . Witli sad, yet watchful eyes,

Oalin as the patient planet’s gleam That walks the clouded skies.

Along in front no sabres shine, , No blood-red pennons wave ;

Its banner bears the. single line, “ Oilr duty is to save.'

Tor those no death-bed's lingering shade: At Honor’s trumpet-call,

With knitted brow and lifted blade, In Glory’s arms they fall. ‘

For these no Hashing falchions bright, No stirring battle-cry;

The bloodless stnbber calls by night— . Each answers, “ Here am 11”

The anthems pealing o’er their dust, V(, / v Through'long cathedral aisles.

of labor (the NewICnglandStates) toni’i’ilnii en­comium from the West. But, as the “ Banner” of Spiritualism is unfurled through the grant West, we would mention, for tlie benefit of its »1 estern readers, that the doctor makes oeeasion- al trips through tlie Central Railroad thorough­fares of tlie M est,.cm rying with him ‘‘ glad till- Illgs,ami great joy ” to all liberal minds.$ Bro. R. is an inspirational speaker, witli a flu­ency of speech seldom equaled. We believe lie will forgive us'for thus personally alluding to. him, ns tlie Western Spiritualists are more or less deprived of tin* benefit of spiritual, lectures, through kick of proper organization to secure them, and therefore need every proper imluee- ment to call them to action. There is i.-ert;uiilv too little unity among Spiritualists everywhere, und particularly at the West. Our speakers could .make it far less expensive for all (speakers and hearers), were there ii systematized chain of spiritual organizations thidiighout tlie entire West. Our railroad thoroughfares are lined witli cities, towfis, nml villages, ready to lend a go- operating hand ns soon ns an organized circuit could be estalllished upon any one or more of them. Such mi organization once established, would, nt little expense, compared with tliat nt present, result in menienliible good.

At a meeting of the First Society of Spiritual­ists and Libe'ralists, of Ashland, Nebraska, the following appreciative resolutions were adopted:

Vineland, N. J., Feb. 23d, the following resolu­tions Avere presented and passed unanimously :

Xetolval, That tlio spiritual ministrations of Bryan Grant, Esi|., at I'luni-streiit Hall during tlioprgsent month, have been replotu with analogy anil demonstration of a transeondeiit character, highly edifying tinti comforting to Spiritualists, punitive and destructive to Orthodoxy, and persuasive and .suggestive to skeptics.

the names of those desiring to join our Association.The ten-minute rule was wlopte<l for speakers in the Con­

vention during debuto. It wás also decided to have two regular addresses at each meeting, If business will allow.

The Executive Committee being ready to report, Mr.- D. Wells, of Paterson, from said Committee, offered the fol­lowing: •

Resolved, That the movement recently inaugurated, known as “The Christian Amendment to the Constitutionof the United States,” Isa cunningly devisedeiforl of the clergy to obtain control of the government of Ihe country, having for Its object the supremacy of ecclcsla^tlcal-nu- thorltv over the civil right of the people, and, on our pari, necessitates t|ie exercise of “eternal vigilance as the price of liberty;” and that we are ready todo battle for Um cause* of religious freedom, in the face of the movement so frcclv made; that we will defend the common rights of humanity In a manner befitting the seriousness ami magnltmle’of (he subjects Involved. ■

The resolution was duty and ably discussed.The President remarked that many feared the subver­

sion, by the priests, of our hixtltutlons, to tlio-'control of religious despotisms; that he had great confidence in the people, aided by tho hosts of angels now able to denion-

. strato their personal aid in human or earthly affairs; (hat free discussion would* prevent even th« Hemblanw» of an endorsement of a personal God, or Christ, on. tho pages ofour nation's (.’ouslitutioii,

Mr. Wells said that the Impudence ami assumptions <if sectarian dogmatists knew no bounds, and millihig on their part would s«qi their nnhnlloived elforts to accomplish the suppression of Tret.» thought Imt the fact that they would be met by the. same, force, which they propose to use, ami that, too, with sufilelent power to annul every attempt to control by law the will of the people on the subject of God, Christ ami religion. ..................................................... .......

• Mr. P. F. Good said: Urn sentiments of the resolution presented bv the gentleman-I). Wells-in opposition to the “Christian amendment “ that Is being Infrodnceil be­fore tho people of this country by th«! powers of eceleslastl- clsm. meet with my entire approbation. t t

After further rHnarks by the President and others, the rcsoluHoj) wnsadiqiti'd. ’ • . • .

The Executive Committee presented the following reso­lution: . ' .

jie.Koli'ed, That personal responsibility lx tbechler corner­stone, Iha bibdc lact on which we build; that luiclunt and modern Spiritualism arc Identical, being dcamiistnitcd by. the same class of facts; (hat God, by the hillnltmle of hlx aGriliutcx, Ixa unit, prechdllngany other Guil, of partner­ship; that we will vindicate the leachings of Chrlst ami of Ilie prophets from all aspersions on this* point; that we therefore deprecate the opposite teaching of (he.Evangelical ('hutch as navlttg heett the cause of the skepticism ami htlldelRv of the world.

On motion, the above was adopted wl(limit debate.The following was then olfered for consideration :H7u reas. Evangelical Christianity hasam»gatejl to Itself

the authority to decide what man must heheve.on pain of eternal damnation: therefore, ' * A

UeNolred, That man Is be fore and above nil creedsand Institutions of men, anil must account to (tod ami his own conscience without any Intermediate agents; Hint each Indlvhltial Is the best Judge In relation to truth or duly: that all books or systems are subject to his revision, amt 1 that the Instriimenlalllies ordained by Almighty love and wisdom are sttillclciit, without Intermedia«! authority to Inslrtiel him In all that is essential to his temporal ami eter­nal welfare. ‘

Mr. Carpenter was opposed to the resolution. It Is folly to pass resolutions In fcfcretirr to God, tin we know notliiiig of'him. He was md willing Io vindicate Jesus In all Tils ads: we know little of him, ami less of the projdids. Jesus was only u man, and wrote nothing hhti- self; he <1I<I many good things, and some not w> good.' AVhcther the Church has dmieanythlng tp establish >kvp- tielsm andllnfidi’lHy. depends upon what am considered such. The onlv Gou he knew was the divine Inxpiiatfoti of ills own soul, ^plrltnalism Is the best of all Chitt-rhes: fol­low its teachings; Il brings happhtessand heaven. •

. . . Taxing; Church Property.The New York Daily Evening Telegram stated

the ease plainly, .. ......it said: .“ A certain portion of the liberals do indeed

demand that ecclesiastical property be no longer exempt from taxation. This for various reasons. One of fin sc is, that such exemption is practical­ly, when.yon have analyzed it thoroughly, a kind of nninn between Cluirch,and State. That is to sav, the State is called upon to extend a fostering hand to the Churi'h in the matter of its property. Such a union the profoutldest thinkers of Hie world have found to be a curse instead of a bless­ing. To withhold this fostering does not necessa­rily mean anything like a sacrilegious spirit. It. simply places spirit mil and religious work on the basis‘of the individual conscience and elTurt, where it belongs. Religion, in fact, nourishes more where it so depends, Multitudinous exam­ples in all the nations prove it. Our own country furnishes a thousand and one confirmations.

Mr. Vibbert, of East Boston. He had come, he said,.by invitation, to address Hie League,' lint had mit' been inaile previously acquainted with tliematter tube diseiissed. He, however, believed that, in a hall surrounded by, such memorable associations as the Fraternity, lie would limi people who -would listen to him while he spoke thlit whiidi he believed. He had never been troubled by the Sunday laws of Mhs- siichiisetts,. having from youth been edueuted to pass that day in tlie ehurcli, and since attaining to man’s estate he had spent it by sneaking three times n ilav, and in helping out tlie services at liis Subba.tli school. He could not understand hoW any person .would desire. tb-doMiway with organized forms of worship by shutting up (hé churches. ' ’ " -

He believed men would worship whether there were laws providing that they should or should ■not, Tlie Sabbath, in his opinion, was made for man to rest in, to array himself in clean apparel, to meet his neighbors and friends once in seven days at least Under dilferent circumstances than those .of tlie usuili routine of life, and best of all,, to weave closer tlie ties of aciiuaintancesliip with his family, from whose circle the curse of over­driving business so much in vogue in America, made 1dm for so greiit a portion of tithe aii exile. He wtis tlieij'fore-of opinion that church-going peopl'e went to chureli too much, and should spend pant. of.the time on Sunday in the carrving out of the IniidaJil.ei.ÿUins he had just traced for. them in a social poijit of view. Still if he was to be obliged to choose between the hard rigorous Puritan Sunday (the. strict training at­tendant on which in his opinion had formed the backbone of the New England character) rind the Sunday he had himself seen in Cincinnati and St. Louis, and as he was informed it existed in many places in continental Europe, he should, decide in favorof thé first. lie however preferred the. golden mean- between the two ; he had voted in (he Legislature for the opening of the Boston Public Library on Sunday, favored the plan, and was glad of its success ; and he thought that if those ministers of Boston who had been so ex­tremely exercised in hiind since the event, had spent the same amount of mental force in en­deavoring to awaken public opinion to the neces­sity of shutting up the dram shops and brothels of the city—(he great ones as well as the small— they would have followed more closely after the spirit of that Christian religion which they pro­fessed to enunciate. :

Mr. Gannett could not see the, “ rose color ” in tin'old Puritan times. Every decade since then laid widened tlie distance between Church and

'Die costlv cathedrals of the Old World were now visited liy a handful of the pop­ulation in place of the vast throngs that once- surged along tlieir mighty aisles: this, however,, he did not consider as. arising from a want of' faith, but only as an exemplification of the reac- tian going on in the public mind against this, principle of Sunday. laws. lie thought the next centurywould not see religio.ii admini.steredmsJt___ ;is to-day—thousands of people gathered together to listen to some speaker with strong lungs and a powerful supply of animal magnetism; the

•churches of the future, in his ojiiiiion, would be- greater churches,but.would not lie so large: they would be. like the neighborhood meetings of the past, the social assemblies by which (and not through large congregations) Christianity had attained its present status.' He referred to the - terrible punishhieiit of—olden days, in Which a . living body was fastened to a dead oiie,Jand thought that described Ilie condition of the good laws nbw'on our statute books, bound as they were'to the Sunday laws which: now failed to express the public mind, and wliieh should be re­moved. Suppose a sword were suspended over: . tins audience, and once a year some individual, reached up, and seizing it, proceeded to cut and: . slash his particular CnemiOs, would not the voice' of all declare that that sword must be taken down .

State, wliieh- was as it should.be; he)therefore had no fears for the future. He thought (hat the Slmday laws were vanishing rapidly from before the face of gradually broadening public opinion, and that any agitation on the subject would do but little toward accelerating the speed of their exit. He warned those before him who felt the old blood of Abolitionism stirring/in tlieir veins to remember that in those days the abolition movement was inaugurated to meet a growing enemy, while the Sunday laws they now attacked were virtual dead letters and surely losing their hold on the hearts of tlie community.

Mr. Tenny following, thought the Sunday laws were/nd such deceased articles i .i our polity as some of the gentlemen had seemeiLio convey, and in proof cited the case of a citizen of Wor­cester, a laboring man, who, emploved by a corporation during the' six days -of the week, and struggling hard for subsistence for liis fam­ily, was arrested and fined for a violation of tlie Sunday statutes by working upon his own house on the seventh day. < Tlie case being car­ried ii]i to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, that body decided—and they had no other alternative, the law being clearly set down in the books, and never having been repealed—that the'man was rightly punished. A woman injured on a horse-

even though harmless for tlie rest of the year, lie had no doubt that, himself, and Mr. Vibbert also—both clergymen in active service—had doiie worse things oil Sunday than the nailing of a­vine, for which the Brookline nmn suffered,, lint, the policeman had not come, tlieir way ! Why ! (lie speaker, prostrated with work,“not able to­preach or to bhir preaching either, [Laughter}' once .sechided himself in a quiet nook in the,conn- , try, and actually lost waste with the people of the village because he limited in a boat listlessly along over the sunny waters <>f a neighboring; streani-upon a Sabbath morning seeking flic God..

/ ■ . “VVliosu temple Is nil splice— . -. . . , . Wlioseiiltai-,-<','ii'tli, sen, skies," 'instead of hiving himself in a pew under the serr vices Of the resident pastor. He diff not object to the setting apart of one day in seven for those wlio desired it, but he did object to their making Aim attend services with them, if they did not ed-- ify him, because a nmn called a minister was rep­resenting thè Christian religion; especially ivhen. that man got up and. declared it to be God’s par­pose to damn thé majority of tile people for not accepting certain ternis of salvation. [Ap- ' piànse.] lie thought there was inherent'bias- phemy in the way some used holy names in holy places. [Applause.] To his mind nothing was wrong but a wrong thought, as' hé had informed a party whom lie found playing croquet ou...a Sunday nioHiing, and who asked him if it xvas evil-doing in his opinion ; and lie leaned strongly' p to the truth contained in the childish intuition of Rev. Lyman Beeuher, who, when as a little boy, , he received the condemnation of his elders for playing on the Sabbath, and: the assurance that “Clod would punish.him," replied, in confident tones : “ If he does, I ’il.tell my aunt !” [Laugh- , ter and applause.] ' / .

R. II. Riuiney was opposed to the Sunday laws, i-— lie thought it a strange system of tactic's for the . friends df.the existing statutes to declare them at one breath to be a dead letter, mid with the next . to proclaim them to:be the palladium of all that is sacred in religion and morality. If they ware . dead letters lie AvOuld have them repealed; for the retention of laws upon the statute-books : which had no effect,-rbrought disrepute upon those laws which were still in force." The dis­cussion was not leveled at worship as an inher­ent facility in man, nor at the observance of Sun- <lay by those wlio chose to do so—but at the ef­forts of anyone class to compel others to obey their ip.is di'eit regardiyg the day. It was a poor argument to advance in favor of Christianity that, after eighteen hundred years, it had no claims upon its followers which they were bound to respect, save as they were forced to by legal en­actments. [Applause.] He would protect Sun­day as all legal holidays were protected, and make the foundation-principle of its observance to be * the “ golden rule.”

At the conclusion of Mr. Ranney'sremarks the meeting adjourned to the call of the officers.

The Present Age.Mr. D. M. Fox has resumed the publication of

the Present Age in New York City, with Prof. S. B. Brittan as chief editor. It is a four-col- umns-to-the-page Ifimo in size, and got up in elc- gant style. Price $3,0(1 per year. It is devoted to religious, political and social reforms, polite literature and general intelligence, and will also be an exponent of the spiritualistic philosophy, as well as an independent critic on all popular movements. AVe hail its resurrection with pleas­ure.

ZST C. C. Felton visited our public circle, Oct. , 31st, in response to a request to do so by two of his earthly friends who are believers in the Spir­itual Philosophy, and three who are not.' They . desired to ascertain the exact status of Iris spirit-, ual belief before his death. His views in regard to Modern Spiritualism were accordingly given, a report of which will be found on our sixth page-

MARCH 22, 1873

William Denton at Music Hall.Sunday, Mareli Ifitli, was a beautiful day, and

accordingly, in the afternoon, this hall Was crowd­ed by thé Spiritualists of Boston an’d vicinity, to listen to the remarks of this well known gentle­man, upon the subject of true temperance. In his opinion this did not consist alone in absti­nence from all use of intoxicating liquors, but em­braced the whole field of life, physical, mental, and social as well. It meant, first, abstinence from all things that were by nature inimical to mankind ; second, the proper use of those that were by nature beneficial to the race ; and, third a proper regulation of all the appetites and pas­sions, so tjiat mnn miglit reach tlie highest physi­cal, mental, and spiritual condition of develop­ment. As men and women fitting ourselves for a htgluu^state of existence, whatever elevated or depressed miinanity became a legitimate object of interest ami concern to'us; :

With liis usual force and acumen, tlie speaker proceeded to explode many of the popular ideas concerning intoxicating drinks-among them that which, rated them as of value to man'as sources of nutriment, ilieir momentary assistance of

„failing physical powers being proven as merely drawit from the bodily strength of the morrow. They were also proven to assist digestion only by making the stomach’s wati'lnnan at the pyloric orifice drinilf, whereby lie opened tlie door and let out tlie Imlf-prepari'd chyle to be treated by other organs for which it was not properly ar­ranged. Tobacco caine in for a thorough tuialy- sis, and was shown to be an agent of evil as well as a promoter of filth. The power of ever­strengthening habit was vividly illustrated by the speaker,-and the three knots in tlie rope dropped down the yawning chasm of dissipation by temperance, “ Touch not, taste not, handle not,” were pronounced to be the only steps toward safety. ' '

Tho speaker referred in the strongest terms to the necessity existing among (lie married and unmarried for tlie proper government of the af- lections and passions, saying that the most dom­inant of all was amativeness, which shbnld be held under firm rein to tlie working out of its legitimate purpose and intention : viz., tlie birth and rearing of sound minds in sound bodies,

' vvhich in the words of Henry C. Wriglit would , “not need to be born again.” The. discourse

ended with a brilliant picture of what might be expected on earth when the old theologies—with

• their intemperate views of the race and its desfi- ny—were dead, and the true spiritual philosophy should rule among men !.. ' : .

Prof. S. B, Brittan!, who was announced to lec­ture in thishall on Sunday afternoon next, being

' . top ill to fill his engagement, tlie name of the speaker for that occasion will bo annouucedjn the papers of Saturday. : . :■

Church Property anrt Taxation.When a principle is set in inption, we inny not

. find it stopping when .we order a halt, says one •., of our exchanges. It goes on, embodying itself

in new forms, and suggesting fresh applications. We have protested against the union of Church

' itnd State. 'We', have insisted that the State ■ should not support sectarian schools. Now the

1 ' question comes up—should the State show spe- .cinl favors to religions corporations? And a neg­ative answer seems to. imply that, church proper­ty, in the form of"meeting-housek/qkiTsoYmgcs; etc., ought, to be taxed like any other real estate, since de’dining to lay* ii tax of S100 on a meeting­

' house is substantially the same tiling as giving- the society that holds it tlie sum of $10(1 a year

to aid it in its general and special religious work. And the question' is coming up for discussion very fully, while not a few religious papers and

’ associations are already committed to the theory that the property should be taxed like other real estate. The question will almost certainly, go

• into our legislatures at iio distant day, and the . withdrawal of all such special favors need be no

matter for serious surprise.1 “ The Aldine,’.’ an elegantly illustrated montli-

ly journal, should be upon the parlor table of . every householder in the land. Its letterpress is

' simply exquisite—its literary department excel-■ ' lent. ' ■ ■ ■.______ _

The Banneb’s Loss.—Since they were burned out last fall, the publishers of the Banner of Light have been compelled to call upon their friends for help. Win. White & Co. appear, by the public reports of losses, to have suffered to the extent of ?30,0(10.00. They may have received in donations 20 per cent, of that sum. We regret that tlie oldest of our Spiritual papers should thus lose the stable financial basis years of energy had given it. The linn is solvent, however, and continues business with the usual vigor. If the public were to pay the Banner for the cards, no­tices, &c., which, though appearing gratuitously, were legitimate lultertuunnents, a larger sum than they have vet received would help make good their loss. The services of the press are not fully

-appreciated.eri’/ic Present Ago. .

Our New York AgencyIs located at 437 Fourth avenue, between 29th and 3«'th streets, Mr. A. E. Carpenter, agent. Our friends will always find a supply of the Ban­ner of Light and copies of nil our publications at Mr. C.’s rooms.

From Washburn, WIs., Jam '22d. Dr/G. W. V. Hadder.He was a mail of. large brain. Intelligent, courteous, a

sihTcssfnJ pbyslclmiaml kind husband. Helms marie marks ,of his career in this rudlmcnlal life, ns evidenced bv many friends all-through the region of his professional labors. I quote from a pensive lettvrof ids wife tome; “Dr. Hndder was born lit Snow Hill. Alaryhmd, thence moved 16 Ohio when two years old: commenced to practice mcdlelno In.1811: was a member of the Methodist Church, but at heart a SplrhiiaHst. fully-receiving Its blessed consolations, and.very susceptible to spirit Impressions, by the language of correspondence, to a remarkable degree. The day be­fore he died. he saw the figuresW. mid said It meant his death, as he was In Ids 5M year. He belonged to tho Ma­sonic Fraternity, He manlfosted himself t/» mo before the hodv was removed from the house by laying ids hands upon • inv tioad, producing a happv linpiesslun.”

Surely, then, my sister, you can rejoice in his liberty, since he Is able to;be even nearer tlum ever before in the spirit of angel presence—since you. too, by gift of medium-. sldp. can still converse with him In the deep quiet of holy impressions. Let us be: patient, all of us. forour emanci­pation also cometh. • J. O. B.

Cornelius 0. Felton.1 am requested to-visit this phice, making a

statement,tc<incern-iti-g, my belief in matters spir- '¡timl'before my death. That would lie a hard thing to do, inasmuch as 1 had none, absolutely.

’ Two.friends who are believers in this spiritual' phihisiqihy, and three who ari“ not, have called me here.. Tin1 three who ¡ire not believers de: clare that 1 never had a shadow of faith in tliese modern manifestations. -The o.ther.two declare that 1 was a believer in them. They are both

. mistaken; so far as my memory serves me,-they are lioth-mistakei). I believed that some of tlie manifestations of Modern Spiritualism might claim—and justly toil—a spiritual or supermun­dane origin ; but further than that, 1 did not go. 1 think now, as' 1 thought wheicon earth, that the subject of Modern Spiritmilism isa. dangerous one,.and for-this reason; unless niu> can take hold of it earnestly and honestly, and pursue it to the end, they are very apt to find themselves ¡up to their necks in spiritual trouble. They get entangled in theories Hint they cannot solve. They are met ¡it. every step by something witli ■which;they are un-.ieipiaintcd. They are apt to got diseiiiiraged, or wliat is worse, to pursue the thing recklessly, carelessly, unrighteously, if 1 may use tile term. They are apt to use it as a school-boy would his new jack-knife, upon things it ought not to be used upon.

So I have but (me kind of nd vice to give to my . friends who may, wi-h to investigate this subject.. If you commence it, commence it in the fear and also tlie love of God, and pursin' it steadily until you are ¡ire able to solve it, and do,n't begin it unless you have plenty of time to sparf upon it, for it demands eonsidi'rable Hine and close alteii- tion in,..order to get at anything like a thorough

“analysis of what it is. It is a vast subject: it is a grand subject : it is the subject and science above ¡ill other subjects and sciences, therefore have a care how yuu handle it. Cornelius C. Felton. Good day. ■ ,__ Oct. 31.

A.—Yes ; the ancients thought more about the soul than--moderns do. They had-less to draw them away from this subject, and more to attract; their attention to it : and you find monuments of

'their thoughts scattered here and there ail over the lands in which they lived.
