THE HflRmOWtC COBOMTIOit.
A f plrltaal" Dleeouree Delivered Last
JCTcnlMKt by Andrew Jack sou Davli, at
Washington Hall.
HFBOIAL BflPOET FOB TDK KVININO TBLIOR1PH.
The BDDOuncement that Andrew Jackson
Pavls, the man who has placed himself at the
head of that tcbool of free-thinkers who lay
great stress upon the "harmonics" et nature,
wonld give light to such as might wish for a
little of that commodity, was sufficient to fill
Washington Hall, at the corner of Eighth and
Pprlng Garden streets, both in the morning and
evening. Owinir, perhaps, to the threatening
uppect oi the weather, his audience
in the evening whs composed almost exclu
sively of men, some of whom continued to keep
their eyes open during the whole of the dreary
discourse, while many others prepared them
selves for a homeward jaunt through the rain
toy slipht instalments of slumber. The exercises,
as usunl, were opened and closed with sitieiiip;
and in order tuat the "Harmonic Corona
tlonUts" might show how absolute and
supreme is their contempt tor the
customary observance of the Chris
tian Sabbath, this singing was ot a
decidedly secular character. W hen the initial
"song" had died away, the great "harmonic"
philosopher appeared upon the stand, and
proved to be a man of stout build and bushy
Dtard, with a voice far from pleasant, espe
cially at the end of every other sentence, which
was wound up with a peculiar intonation, tie
dlscourbcd somewhat as follows:
MANIFESTATIONS OF THE INFINITE.
Man is allied to all forms of life to animal
lite, as that of a bird or a fish, and likewise to
vegetable and (loral life. The instinct of mere
animal lile resembles the common sense with
which all mun are endowed, sometimes, how
ever, manifestations of man's Inmost spirit,
composed of certaiu eternal principles, concern
ing which the "hurmomc'' philosopher hadjhe
coursed at length in the mornintr, have been de
veloped. Many arc yearning lor this niuiifestn
t on, worshipping at. unknown shrines aud
invoking unknown gods, hoping thus to
arrive at its realization. For the purpoes of
achieving this object, they endure privations,
trials, and penances. It is the grand exercise
of this yearning spirit for an entrance into the
realm of the infinite that makes the cross a
crown, and places the masses under the influ
ence of priestcraft. It is this vague alliance of
man to the vastly infinite that makes bun such
an incomprehensible problem to himself, that
makes his life so vague and dreamy. Thin
yearning for the infinite is what renders man
religious; the lack of it is what prevents mere
animals from beiug religious. When touched
by thee infinite yearnings, man is roused to
plane himself higher than tins brute creation,
higher than he was beiore. The object of reli
gion is to bring out these manifestations of the
iniinite; and were it not for tuis, his lil'o would
be like that of any other tiuidial, up hill an I
down alike.
THE PERCENTAGE OF LOVE AND WISDOM.
The inner or spiritual l!J'e of man is made up
of the elements of love and wis iom iove, fifty
percent; wisdom, fifty per cent. Love is the
centremost of this inmost hie, and i9 divided
into diilerent classes love of self', love of paren
tage, love of one's companion in marriage, love
of superiors, an 1 uuiversal love ot' all. Wisdom
likewise appears under the diti'erent forms of
utilization, justice, a desire of power,
the pnuMples of duty, of beauty, aud
of aspiration, and, last and greatest, an acqui
escence in the vat harmonic coronation of
everything in the universe. The fundamental
principle of the harmouic ptnloophy which
Spiritualists have been proclaiming tor year-, is
now being developed in science by those who
discourse upon the new doctrines of cne corre
lation and conservation of forces. Spiritualists
have bad all manner ot contumely heaped upon
them for proclaiming doctrines similar to those
which are now being accepted in the scientific
world. ,
THE EDUCATION OF MAN'S MENTALITY.
Having thus defined the character of tb har
monic philosophy, the sneaker proceeded into
a lengthy and delectab'e treatise upon the rela
tions ot mind and matter, and the mariner in
which the rorrner is brought into a realization
of the nature of the latter. Man is situated in
nature so as to know nothing of it save thro nek
the medif.m of the senses, and theso are capable
of grasping no part of natur until motion ot'
some kind is imparted lo it. Tlie suscsptinlli
tics of man are touched only by those portions
ot matter which are attenuated. Through these,
education is imparted to his mentality. On the
contrary, a mere animal only learns to imitate
its progeny is as ignorant as it was itself before
it was taught this imitation. Bui by this edu
cation of his mentality, man is rendered capable
ot imparting knowledge to his progeny, wuicn
is the source of the world's progress.
WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT 31S CHEERFUL.
Having disposed of this branch of his sublet,
the speaker proceeded to demolish theO'ifi
tian Church, and the religion which it protases
and teaches, because it stood so stoutly in the
way of a more general acceptance oi his air
monial principles. He could uot see how unv
man could be so hypocritical, so recreaut to ail
the instincts of humanity, as to be a cheerful
Christian, when almost the whole of the tiu.aan
race was on tne wav to hell. Unltarian-im.
however, the speaker considered as iicitiiluu
more than one pirate of Spiritualism, and there
fore he excepted lro'ii his severe judm-nto
Christianity all who professed thU nu'viliur
creed, which was sometimes confounded wr.h it.
LUNATIC ASYLUMS TUE PROPER PLACES l OB
CHRISTIANS.
Having thus gracionslv relieved the feelings
of the Unitarians, the speaker returned 1 1 the
onslaught on pure and unadulterated Chris
tianity, declaring that it is a despicable and
atrocious outrage lor an evangelical to be
cheerful. It he believed that anything human
was destined to undergo perpetual torture, his
proper place would be in im insane as.yl.iin.
All who aie sii-cere evangelical Christians are
to be iound in such places; aud all who proies
to be evangelical Christians, and are not madj
insane by iheir belief, are hypocrites.
The announcement by the speaker tluU all
the mie aud honest Christians in the world are
to be found in Inn iiie asylums, aopeareit grea'.lr
to edily and delight a large majority or his
audience. A roumi ol applause went up from
different quarters of ibe hail, aud when a few
Deisous piefent testified their di.-seut by mint
hisses, the clappine ot hands and stamping of
feet were renewed with greater vigor aud zeal
tuan oeiore.
HOW CHRISTIAN CHILDREN ARB SOLD TO THE
DEVIL.
The speaier then returned to his theory of
inn..,h..w,.. lius.iii.ju , 1nri ho iiiLi'pnt to nlfKfirinu-
rwl dtartmn irim fhp Rimi'Stor tO whufifl til Oil.
taiity it was originally imparted by means of
attenuated matter Derating upon the sense.
He staied that in this way the mmds of cbll ireu
were corrupted, lust as pure water is blackened
w h u.imivniTtf ni ink. Children are born
with dreadiul forebodings; they jump In their
sleep, as it fearing to open their eyes lest they
behold an linage anything but anuelic. At
their very birth an educated devil already pos
sesses them. In this wav orthodoKV de-

Plow many of you, even when your digestion is

speaker thought it was no wonder that anxious
mothers resorted to the application of Mrs.

of their children on thu first Sunday ot the
month, as remedies tor their crossness, peevlsh-

Biuucuio " " , ' i i ' ,
thought such proceedings were not nt subjects
for marvelling, tilyjall laughed at this clever
xe.
The speaker then retnmed to his attack npon
the Christian Church, which, in his way of
thinking, looked upon tho world as a great
error, since Ood, its Creator, wns defeated and
the greater portion of mankind destroyed. He
thanked Ood for the Second Advent theory.
It was a paregoric for the ills of Evangelical
Christianity; it was as good as a Turkish bath
to the man who loves the whole human race.
Compared with the evansrellcal doctrine of an
endless torture, it was human to contemplate
instant and total destruction.
THE WORLD A MERB BOY TET.
The speaker at this point diverted his hearers
with an exceedingly novel statement coacern-'
inn the ae of the slohe we Inhabit. The world,
he said, Is a mere boy, not yet in his fifteenth
year : a little older than Mercury, but not near
as old as Mare, who wm quite a young man in
comparison. And, on account of its extreme
youth, it was lorced i-till to depend upon its
parent, the sun, lor light and heat and support
in its proper place in the universe. The world,
however, in his mind, is an enterprising and
protrresslve jonth, aud is tryina to earn a
living. He was quite confideut that the
time would come when it would be
able to provide Itself with life and
heat and a place in tho universe, with
out dependenee upon the parental sun, as
at piescnt. Having made such an immense
reduction in the age of the world, it is not sur
prising that the speaker was forced to limit the
ago of humanity to that of a few days. At this
point the object of his arithmetical retrogres
sion was apparent in the statement that, on
account of its excessive youth, humanity was
not yet in harmony; and on account of not
being in harmony, it is not at all strange that
men get drunk, and fight, and war one upon
another, and reluse to ride ui Sunday cars, and
endure as a general thing a great deal more ot
misery than of happiness.
The speaker, however, was not dkcouratred
by the slow work made in harmonic develop
ment. He looked at the possibilities of man
kind, at the golden treasures ot the Colorado of
the future, nud took heart aud courage. He
thought that if we bad no future as a race, in
telligent and reflective people wonld have no
hope whatever.
A LITTLE BLASPHEMY INDULGED IN.
Having spared Chritianlty for so long a time,
the speaker hero again gave his attention to
that obnoxious obstacle to harmonious develop
ment, this time aiming at the very sources of
belief itself. He did not consider the Ood of
Evangelical Christianity, whose name is Jeho
vah, as ibe Ood of the universe. It was ajrnere
creation of the Jews-, and he always insisted
upon spelling it wilh a little "p." Evidently
his audience saw nothing partaking ot blas
phemy In this, lor they considered it a fit subjec
for laughter.
As for the Christian Clnirch.it cannot and
dnre not grow, b'ing rooted in conservatism; it
woisnipped the past, the ctoss of two thousand
years airo. The only churches to which he
accorded the privilege of giowth were those
which were shone of their Evangelicalism, such
as the Unitarians, Universulists, Quakers, and
Shaker. Tbcpe, he admitted, were orenintr
new paths for humanity. The churches feel tuis
restraint and work hard to counteract it, sending
their missionaries everywhere. Hut they dare
not now say that any who differ with them are
not sincere. They can only go about, warning
mothers that the wolves are abroad, and cau
tioning thera to have their children baptized by
way of piecauiion. and also to have them in
structed in the catechism and Scriptures of two
thousand years ago. The scripture of the corre
lation and conservation of forces must be
avoided. But this scripture is brineing man up,
like spiritualism. Science is working up into
the iieht, as spiritualism is working down from
the ligh.
GRINDINO THE BVIL OUT OF THE GOOD.
The harmomal philosopher hereupon in
formed his hearers that he did not opoose
in toto the Bible, and the cood actions which
spring from a belief in it. Spiritualists are not
absolute negationists; they still accept what
ever is good and applicable in ola books, aud
can bring us Hie. Spiritualism comes as a
commentary on the past, revealing many
things heretofore hidden in it. Spiritualists
are the gatherers of the harvest; they take the
pood and feed upon it, but are care
ful to erind out the evil ;
they pass through the mill of their
new investigation all the relleions of tne past,
and trind olf tne hulls, as the miller grinds od"
the hulls ol the buckwheat to get thu scratch
out of It. Before they swallow a hsh, they take
the bones out of it: but because they won't
swallow bones aud all, they are termed intideK
The evangelical doctrine is whole whale and
whole Testament, or none of either. The
people would yet see that they bad been more
scared than hint by spiritualism, and that it
brought to humanity a greater Scripture than
the old.
AN EXHORTATION TO "HARMONY."'
In conclusion, Mr, Davis exhorted all spiritu
alists to see to it that they were not held in
bondage lo their bodies and to the mere inter
mediate principles ot morion, life and the senses;
and to f-te to it that they rose as spirits, to to
such in the spiot-world. He urged tbem to be
kinder, more traternui, ana more in love with
what 1 is true, good, and eternal; to be more
strong, more self reliant, more beautiful, good-
mannerea, ana scusioie oi worimcess in snort,
to become bettpr and hierher, that they might
do more good and become more "harmonious."
