In Two Wokhw. By Willimu II. Moloomb,
M. D. Tiililisbrtl y J . H. Lijipiu cot t A, Co.
Tin- rfiHtirrnntioti of LVarus is one of the
mofit remarkable t-y imt recorded in ,the New
TeHtamcnt. It 1 n-m-trkahle a a inauifeRU
tion of the rmpremn pjwer of Cbrist, aad for
the Bilence of the EvnnAlists concerning the
future career of tbe mm thus restored, to Ufa
alter having lalii four iluyn in Ihc grave. We
have given tj9 a iuilo narrative' of the facta i
f the death, burisl, au 1 revival of Lazarus,
with a glimpso of the intim.ilo aad loving re
lations of Christ with Lin family, and then the
event is dismissed as if it was too sacred a
mibject to be :diticnBRed. Here was a iniu
who had been recalled from the sphere of
spirits by Christ himself, and yet for some
jnscrn table reason he was not permitted to
make any revelation with regard to what he
had seen and heard in the world beyond the
grave. It is useless to snppose that there
was no curicBity upon the subject at the
time of the performance of the miracle, as
there has been ever since, but after the nar
rative of his resurrection Lazarus does not
appear in the sacred record, and he is merely
incidentally mentioned in connection with his
tasters and the other disciples. lie took no
prominent part in establishing the Christian
Church, and, except on account of the mira-'
cle that was performed upon him, his influ
ence in promoting a belief in the divinity of
Christ was less than any of the other disciples
mentioned. Indeed, we are not even in
formed that he was a disciple, and his future
course is as much a mystery as his death and
' resurrection. Throughout the entire Scrip
tures only the most indefinite hints are given
as to the actual condition of the souls of men
in the land of spirits; no revelations are mode
that will give the slightest glimpse of heaven
or hell, and we are simply taught in positive
but general terms that men will be blessed in
the one or cursed in the other as their deeds
may be good or evil while living upon earth.
The mysteries of the future, for reasons that it
is useless to speculate upon, are hidden from the
eye of the human race, and there is a mani
fest impropriety in the attempts that are
Hometimes mode to tear aside the veil that a
wise Providence has interposed between the
finite and the infinite. Fools rush in, how
ever, where angels fear to tread, and the
public of late has been treated to a number
of works presenting theories of heaven which
are chiefly remarkable for their trivialities
and absurdities, and for the reckless disre
gard for the most sacred things that writers
of little ability and less judgment only could
indulge in. Snch works as "Gates Ajar," and
others of its class, are, in our humble opinion,
positively injurious to the cause of true reli-
gion, whatever . the intentions of the writers
may be. They disgust one class of readers,
and they cater to a depraved and unhealthy
religious taste in others. They excite the
imagination of the weak and credulous by
descriptions that have no warrant in . the
Scriptures, and that proceed only from the
imagination oi tne , writers; and they are
wort-ie than other forms of sensationalism, in
asmuch as they trespass upon the most sacred
mysteries of religion, and pretend to reveal
what the Almighty has decreed shall be
hidden.
The author of the work before us makes a
specialty of, this dangerous and we are
almost disposed to say blasphemous species
of literature. , "Our Children in Heaven,"
and "The Sexes Here and Hereafter," are the
titles of two of his works published within a
comparatively recent period, in which he
attempts to give a description of heaven and
the condition of the souls of men after death.
"In Both Worlds" is an even bolder infringe
ment on the proprieties of religion, for in it
Dr. Holcomb takes up the story of Lazarus,
and undertakes to relate his experiences in
life, death, and after resurrection. '.In a pre
fatory chapter the writer pretends to have be
come possessed of an ancient Greek manu
script which turns out to be an autobiography
of Lazarus, and the body of the work is this
narrative presented in what Dr. Iloloomb colli
"a dress of the nineteenth century." If we
have any doubts as, to the propriety of deal
ing with such a subject as this under any cir
cumstances, we have none at all as to the in
sufferable bad taste in which it is treated in
the work before us. To have such a narra
tive as that of Lazarus worked up in the sen
sation style of one of Sylvanus Cobb's ledger
stories is simply shocking to any person
who has a real reverence for sacred things.
It would be perfectly useless for us to go
through the book and point out the anachro
nisms, the false coloring, and the other artis
tic absurdities that abound on every page, for
it would not be worth half-a-dozen lines even
of condemnation, if it were not a profanation
of a subject the most awe-inspiring. As a
specimen, however, we will mention that, on
page 45, the uncle of Mary, Martha, and
Lazarus is represented as smoking a handsomely-ornamented
pipe, "curiously carved
nd twisted," Dr. Iloloomb being appa
rently oblivious of the fact that smoking was
not an Oriental eustom until after the dis
covery of America, when tobacco was intro
duced to the nations of the Old World. This
might be passed by with a smile if it was not
in perfect keeping with the rest of the story!
and even then it is nothing to the outrageous
bad taste of representing Mary as "swet" on
John the Baptist, just as pious young women
of the present day are apt to have a tender
feeling for good-looking and popular preach.
en.' Martha, too, 'has a little love affair
with a handsome young "son of the desert,"
a companion of the robber Barabbas, who
turns out to be one of the thieves crucified
by the side of Christ, and Lazarus has
Mary Magdolene assigned him for his spiritual
'wife, ' and he beholds her carrying heavy
beams and assisting to construct hi man.
ion in the heavens. This is what Dr. Hol
comb calls giving the story of Lazarus a
"dress of the nineteenth century," and it is
possible that it may find admirers, for, un
fortunately, euch clap-trop will often be read
by those who have no tante for sonnd instruc
tion and the simple urinative of the Sorip-ini-es.
The nlvle nml sabntauce of this Hen
nation nov for it in nothing else are
puerile in tho extreme, and the total lack of
dignity and appreciation of the awful im
portance of the theme are among tho worst
features of the book. It appears to us that
the author. pronounces his own condemna
tion when he puts these words in the month
of the father of Lazarus when instructing his
Ron on his entrance into the spirit world:
"To trek to nonetrate the veil which separate ttie
spiritual from the natural realm, to Invite an open
intercourse with spirits, to commit mem about
earthly affair, Is one of the terrible crimes de
nounced am forbidden In Scripture. It Is the secret
source of the power and mysteries of mupic To
seek Bach Intercourse Is perilous to the soul's best
welfare. Therefore it I that coiiAiilttng with 'fami
liar spirits' Is forblddm In the Word. 11 Is forbidden
for man's own good."
We do not dispute the devout intentions of
the author of "In Two Worlds," but it should
be borne in mind that more harm is done .to
the cause of religion by perverted enthusiasm
than by open scoffing. The investigation of
spiritual mysteries is apparently a monomania
with Dr. Holcomb, and he neither has thq
mental capacity to treat his subject in the
dignified style that it demands, nor the fine
sense of propriety that would keep him
from making it ridiculous. Such books as
this writer turns out ought never to be writ
ten or published, and if put before the world
it is the plain duty of those to whose judg
ment they are submitted to condemn them in
Mo. We do condemn "In Two Worlds'
as utter trash, and as a profanation of a
sacred theme, such as is calculated to do great
injury to religion and to exercise a most un
healthy influence on the minds of excitable
readers.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. also send us
"Erling the Bold," a tale of the Norse Sea
Kings, by 11. M. Bollantyne. This story is
founded on historical information contained
in the "Heimskrinigla, or Chronicles of the
Kings of Norway," by an Icelandic author.
It is a bold and stirring tale of the old Norse
rovers who conquered and settled in Eng
land at various times between the fifth and
eleventh centuries. The narrative is interest
ing of itself, and it gives an excellent descrip
tion of the manners and customs of tho rugged
race who inhabited the north of Europe at
the dawn of modern history.
From Claxton, llemseu & Haffelfinger
we have received the following of Harper fc
Brothers' recent publications:
"Lost in the Jnngle," by Paul Du Chaillu,
is a description of the adventures of that
traveller in equatorial Africa, and it may be
considered as a supplement to his "Stories of
the Gorilla Country" and "Wild Life Under
the Equator." Mr. Du Chaillu is a pleasant
writer, and the worst we have to say of this
book is that he underrates the capacity of his
young readers, and . often descends to unne
cessary trivialities of style. The work is one,
however, that any boy will enjoy thoroughly.
It is 1 profusely illustrated, and bound in
attractive style.
"My Enemy's Daughter," by Justin Mc
Carthy, is - a novel of much power that has
just been concluded in Harper's Magazine,
and is now published complete. Mr. McCarthy
is well known as an able essayist, and in this
story he proves himself capable of doing
good work in the , more important field of
fiction, '.I ' -
From Turner Brothers & Co. we have re
ceived "The Trotty Book," by Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, ; Published by Fields, Osgood
& Co. This is an amusing narrative of the
adventures of a young humorist, and it will
doubtless find plenty of appreciative readers
among the young folks, who will be able to
sympathize fully with Trotty's sayings and
doings. The book is nicely printed 'and
bound, and it is illustrated with a numler of
clever designs by Eytinge. . '
The same house sends us "Christmas Day:
the Night Before and the Night After." This
gaily-colored brochure' contains, the ever
popular "Night Before Christinas" of Cle
ment C. Moore, which always reappears in
some shape or other about this time of the
year. A continuation by J. W. Watson, in
the same strain, entitled "Christmas Day,"
and a parody by "Punch," called "The Night
After Christmas," make up an excellent col
lection of holiday verses.
Turner Brothers L Co. also send us Our
Boit' and Girl' Magazine for December 11.
i'rom l. is. reterson fc lirotheru we
have received "Potersons' New Cook Book,"
which contains receipts for preparing all man
ner of eatables.
v "The. Old Franklin Almanao for 1870,
published by A. Winch, No. 505 Chesnut
street, is, as usual, full of carefully prepared
and valuable statistics. The record of events,
foreign and American; the necrology, foreign
and American; the lists of civil and military
officers of the United States; the railroad
disasters, executions in the United States,
tne governments or tne world, otc, are very
complete, making this one of the most con
venient works for ready reference now pub
lished.'
Van NottrautTn Edtctic Magazine for
December has an able paper on "The Late
Ordnance Committeo," evidently written by
some one who has a full knowledge of the
wire-pulling in the case of General Dyer,
and of the influences that were brought to
bear upon Congress to induce the suspension
of that officer from the Ordnance Bureau of
the War Department. This paper shows up
a most scandalous state of affairs, and it will
be difficult for some of the members of the
committee who reported against General
Dyer to get over many of the statements
made. The rest of the magazine is made np
of excellent selections from the best Ameri
can and foreign engineering publications,
some of which are of great value. '
