SPIRITUALISM.
Of all devices by tbe wicked one for
the overthrow of virtue and .religion
popularly known as "Modern Spiritual
ism" has been one of the most success
ful. Beginning with a low fatuity living
in Hydesville, N. Y., twenty-five years
ago, it has spread over this country and
Europo, until it claims, how truthful,
we know not, millions ef adherents.
While some good men have been de
ceived, and connected themselves with
this delusion, its principle adherents
have been from the restless and inquisi
tive, who have no fixed sentiments con
cerning religion, but are ready to listen
to any voice and obey any command ex
cept the bible's, and last but not least
in numbers, the sensual and devilish,
who find ''Spiritualism" a good place to
perpetrate their fiendish schemes, and
indulge their base passions.
It would seem that the only thing
necessary to conviooo any one of the
demoralizing tendencies of ''Spiritual
ism" is but to read a few pages of their
Jitcrature. Their rmblio praters are
some times offered to Satan at other
times to Ifaturc which they aJdrc3s as
Father and Mother. They teach us we
are the victims of fate, and we can no
more help our actions than we can our
cxistance; the soul migrates from one
body into that of another; the idea of
miracles is absurd; Christ never claimed
t raise the dead and he knew he could
not do it; the biblo is a bundle of
tracts, full of fables and koran super
stitions and is of no more authority than
the Shastcrs, or the writings of Confu
cius. Jehovah is called the Asiatic po
tentate, discovered by Astrology; the
idea of an overruling God is a crushing
superstition.
In a Convention of ''Spiritualists" re
cently, in Michigan city, Indiaua, Mrs.
Todd, of Pacific Coast notoriety, de
clared that Jesus Christ was burn at the
expeusc of virtue, and that Mary was to
more to be honored than prostitutes of
this day; the Holy spirit is the spirit of
some good man; no charge should ever
be made against any member of the
"Spiritual Fraternity" for any crime
whatever; there is no evil that can be
avoided; what wo call sin and evil in
human aetions is a necessity and beiDg
a ncccssBity it it lawful and right; lib
ertiniem does not injure the immortal
soul of man; Christ has imposed exces
sive and impraotical restraints on us;
there is no difference between Ilerod,
Nero, and St. Paul, Jesus Christ and
Judas Jseariot, for each had tho experi
ence he needed; all are to be angles, sin
is a blessing and Lucifer is on his way
to heaven; legal marriage is selfish, car
nal, worldly, and belongs to Mommon;
cursed be tho relation of husband and
wife.
It may be thought by those unac
quainted with their literature that I
have stated the case too strongly. I re
ply that I am fully prepared to sustain
every word of the above by their own
writings. The most bitter and unscru
pulous infidels of the past never spoke
more disrespectful of Christ and Chris
tianity than do modern "Spiritualists,"
nor were there views uttered which were
better calculated to overthrow all well
regulated society than their open avowel
of free-love. With all its vain boasting
"Spiritualism" has never revealed a new
truth to help humanity, nor has it made
anybody any better. On the other hand
it has filled the hearts of many with
doubt and distressing fears, and it has
entered the doors of a thousand happy
homes and degraded their inmites, scp-
erating husbands and wives aud crush
ing tho hearts of their children. Wo
never knew a family swayed by this dc
lusion which remained happy.
Concerning its phenomena we can say
nothing. On certain mysterious feats it
builds its reputation, but these, com
pared with tho feats of jugglery prac
ticed by the Chinese aud others, dwiudlo
into insignificance. Uut were we to ad
mit that actual spirits are engaged iu
this then it is not hard to tell whence
they come. Could good spirits tell us
that all the crimes forbidden in the deca
logue are so many and we must of ne
cessity practico them. "Spiritualism"
so teaches to all "SpiritualUts." We
commead the following from Saiut Paul.
"Now the spirit speaketh expressly
that on the latter times some shall de
part from tbe faith giving heed to se
duoing spirits and doctrines of devils."
Vili.
A lady returning from an unprofitable
visit to church declared that "when
she saw tho shawls of those Smiths,
and then thought of tho things her
own poor girls had to wear, if it wasn't
for the consolation of religion she did
not know what she should do."
GENERAL NOTES
A Crawford countnin has lost one
hundred fine applo trees by tho ravages
of the frost.
Reports of outrages are getting to be
alarmingly frequent throughout the
country.
Brewers will be glad to learn that
"hops" are very plentiful this season at
the sea side rcsoits.
Why didn't a dog want a place in the
ark? Bccanse he had a barque of his
own.
Aboit three million dollars per month
in gold coin are beine turned out from
tho Philadelphia mint; but very few of
them find their way to the interior.
Thirty boarders were poisoned in
Pittsburgh on Friday evening by eating
smoked white fish. All but one are in
a fair way of recovery.
The wheat crop throughout Arm
strong eonnty is all harvested and safely
stored. It is a full average crop, and
of superior qunlity. The oats ctop,
which is now being harvested, is abund
ant. A cow that gives buttermilk is re
ported from Forest county. Her owier
is looking-for another of the same breed
on the principle that one good churn
deserves another
An old toper was heard the other day
to advise a young man to get nianied,
"because then, roy boy, you'll havo
somebody to pull off your boots when
you go home drunk."
The Postoffice Department has issued
thus far ?G2,000,000 postal cards, of
which about one-half have been sold
and transmitted through the mails. The
supply of smaller offices throughout the
country will soon begin.
A project is now beinsj considered
and a movement is to be made to 'orm a
company for tho purpose of conveying
oil in pipes from the petroleum regions
to tho commercial emporium on the
Delaware, The proposition is by a
series of reservoirs and immense pipes.
to run oil direct from the wells to Phila
delphia, whence it can be barreled and
shipped to any pait of this country and
to JiUrope.
A young ludy at an evening party,
some time aero, lound it apropos to use
"Jordan is a hard road to travel," but,
thinking that to be too vulgar, substi
tuted the f'ollowine: "Perambulating
progression in pedestrian excursion along
the far-famed thoroughfare of fortune
cast up by tho hanks of the sparkling
tiver ot 1'ahstine, is indeed attended
with a heterogeneous cotiglomerr.tion oi
uoforesppn difficulties."
