'to which they subscribed in comrcon con-

viz :

tlint he gave his life m a ransom for the
Iterieniplion of fallen man.
Second- We Lelievo in the Gospel cs
pnuclied ly Christ and his Apostle.
iiiird Our Gospel declares that, no man
ran serve two masters ; therefore, it it
evident that wo must make the love of

Fourth The Gospel teaches us to forgive
llioso who trespass against us ; and love
our neighbors as oursolvos.
Fifth We believe that God is m.irciful
lo those that show mercy ; therefore, it
behoove! us to treat tho error of our
jV.lo.v men with foibcarar.ee.
For many years tho peoplo cf all per

"The woman plucked two apple from

The father of human misery was now n
inmato of the happy gardoa. lie blew
forth his venom amongst the people ; the
greater portion shunned him as they
would the deadly Upas, but he succeeded
in saturating their garments with his poi
sonous fluid. His faithful clergymen sur
passed their master in trumping up false
hoods against the holders ol bondmen.
He induced a small body of men, scorn
fully, to derida tho sacred iuslitutions of
the Garden. In my vision, this body of
men seemed as a small black cloud, but

.Soon their wild joy was turned into deb

bitter expeiience tuught the visionary
captain and ciew the necessity for a com

I'ho unfortunate passengers now appo ded

as tho joking philosopher arrived in the

The joking philosopher issued a decree
commanding all persons thmughout the
Garden to subscn!e to tho Juggernaut
creed under penalty of being slain and
having their property divided amongst

I uggoriiaul commanded the iokimr tdii-

Juggernaut said : " Take your choice,

Tho chief ruler nf the people niared

the demon, and whilst thus prostrate h
Vowed that the will of the J UL'ei nau t
should hereafter bo his law. Tho demon.
in a loud voice demanded human ile.-h
and blood to satiate bis appetite. This
lemand made the people i.aie with terror.
Satan filb'd the cup of dolusion and bade
them partake of it, in order to strengthen
their nerves. Tiny diaiuod it to tho
dri'gs.
Tho enthu-daslic young men laid them
selves on tho Juggernaut ultar. that I hey
might be slain or maimed, mid thus securo
their entrance t tho Juggernaut heaven.
When the more timid behold liie demon
lapping up the blood of their kinsmen,
their courage failed them. Green gods
wero then ploced before them. As they
gazed upon them a fascination seized up
on thorn, aud they rushed eagerly into
the Juggernaut slaughter-pen !
The demon's appetite was not jet satia
ted, nor his thirst quenched. Tho priests
of the new religion seized their neighbor.-',
bound them nod laid them upon the al
tars. So great wss the magic power of the
(jrf.cri gods that whenever they touched a
chain that bound one of these unfortunate
men, it snapped, as though it wero burnt
flax.
The deluded Edenites laid their land
titles, corn and oil, nt tho feet of tho Jug
gernaut : men exchanged their honor and
women their virtue, for yrcm cods.
The ruler of thpso deluded people now

Heavenly Messenger raised his sword and
cleft tho vile god in twain. When the

entered the Judgment hall. The demon

Tho people assented, and tho culprits
were arraigned. The demon, who had so
successfully hnrnngued the peoplo to
thrust themselves before the crushing
wheels of the juggernaut, stood ready to
invoke both dod utid the peoplo to de
stroy them. Ho had served them faith
fully, and they knew his power. They
cried aloud for the hills to cover them,
that they might thii be enabled tor-scape
the just vengeance ol an indignant Jeho
vah. After tho c-tideuco m us heard on
both sides, Iuipulio aioso aul said:
"When tho flaxen-haired Captain
launched his famous ship on tho stream

ho. own threatened her destruction, the
vile wretch had not the manhood to aid
in shirting her sails, so thai the might a
gain return to shore, but contented hiin
Miif by corrupting tho morals of the. peo
ple, by retadir.j vuhwr anecdotes. In
stead of LHinishiiw him as In) deserved, thn
unfortunate passengers conferred tho high
est honor ol their gift upon him; they
made him chief ruler over Modern Eden
When ho entered upon the duties of his
otluie, Modern Elotu was the most power
ful nnlion in Hie universe. The .uiriound
ing nations bowed in submission to her;
and to bo an Edonite was a privilege the
noblest might envy, Her ships failed
into every port ; her gai ners were tilled
wnncorn; on poured out ol her rocks; I
milk flowed in abundance ; honey was!
one of her staplo products; blncK, spark-
ling diamonds, were encased in hor hills;
iron covered her streets : cold lav scat-l
tercd over her plains ; her horses, cattle.
sheep and swine covered her mountains
and fields : want was unknown lo her
children. Tho hungry of other lands she
fed; and tho naked she clothed. She
gathered tho oppressed around her as thoi
hen shelters lwr brood, with her wings.
The joking philosopher had leigned but
a shoi t time, when ho resolved to strew
tho people's path with thorns, and to mix
their fountains with gall, lly the aid or
his chosen crew ho has but loo well
succeeded, lie has sunk a chrielain peo
plo into idolatry; ho has driven plenty
iiom tbo land, and invited great want to
take up her abode amongst us. He has
transformed Fieeiuen into slaves, and hs
sacrificed the (lower of our youth on tho
altar ef the Juggernaut, He has induced
tho remainder to otter tiurnlotlerings, and
foropd them to pay tithes to his now god,
until poveily has crushed their energy.
