AN ADDRESS FROM A SPIRIT. ON Thursday evening, December 9th, a public meet ing of the St. John’s Association of Spiritualists was held in St. John’s Hall, Corporation-row, Clerkenwell, and the proceedings are reported upon another page. In the course of the evening, Mr. Morse, medium, was entranced by one of his guardian spirits, who gives the name of Tien Sien Tie, and states that he was a Man darin of the Second Order, who passed from earth at Pekin a little more than one hundred years ago.* Under this inspirational influence the following speech was given from the platform :— “ Brothers and sisters still journeying along the path of time, pleased am I and the invisible host with me here, to be able to speak a few words of love and sympathy. Many ask,  What is the use of the mani festations?' Let the minds of all here to-night travel back to their inmost recesses, and ask if there is anything in nature which is not useful? No. All things are useful, for they reflect the source from whence they came for universal good. The manifesta tions open the dark portals of the tomb, and permit you to see the bright and glorious path beyond, thickly dusted with the diamonds and flowers of affection and love. They show you that communication exists be tween the two worlds, that the friends who by the love of God you have been permitted to love, remember you when they have passed through the change called 'Death.' They show how loving that Being is, by opening the gates for you. Is there no use in know ing that the wife, father, husband, brother, whom you have loved long and tenderly, still entertains remem brances of you, and can still speak to you? Greater than the consolation of that, is the knowledge of the great stream of love, pouring down from the higher spheres, trying to draw you upwards and onwards, teaching you that you contain that priceless gem, a human spirit, endowed with the attributes of the Deity from whence it came. Cradled in the bosom of infini tude, man—so far as I can read—has eternally existed, world without end. When you feel happy within your selves—when the silver cord of the soul is struck, and you feel full of happiness, you desire that others shall share that happiness also. You talk about the manifesta tions with your friends, who in their turn become centres of another circle spreading the truth, and so on through infinity of extension. See the good, then, you do by getting up meetings such as this to-night, faint foreshadowings of those in the summer land, so called Think of the great truths we teach, but remember especially these three principles : let your relations be love—let justice govern your love—and let wisdom govern both, that you may be perfection ; then will heaven be within and around you. Friends, farewell and carry away with you messages of affection from the immortal host awaiting your entrance into tho realms of everlasting light and love. Farewell.” Silence followed the delivery of this address, which was spoken in a very impressive manner, and nobody seemed inclined to say anything for the next few Mr. J. M. PEEBLES has arrived at Trebizond, but is ex pected in England again in two months.—Dr. Willis is now in the South of France.—Miss Hay has arrived in New York quite safe and sound, and is comfortably located at the Hygienic Institute. She produced some remarkable spirit drawings on board ship, when the roll was so great that she could not write.—Daybreak.
