little ones prematurely from our sphere, the uni
rerse in which our world is but one little heart or
firm of life may afford others as suitable to instruct
and perfect their faculties.
But most mortals, imprisoned amid sensible i'm
ages demand picture or theory as scatloding, by
means of which to raise their thoughts above the
shadows of earth. If they find not such beneath
their feet they complain Of living in the clouds -
II the wings of the spirit were grown SO that they
could soar in faith and poisc themselves little
higher they would find that only from that hight can
The scenes of earth be truly and comprehended.
To the many who seek this scatloding the revea-
ions of Swedenborg offer shining stair upwards,
and on its steps stand angelke, noble and beautl-
al thoughts in harmony with many intimations OF
hbiua Experience.
We add an extract which gives clue TO the i'm
port Of the whole;
10 have spoken with angels concerning infants
whether they are pure from evils, because they
have no actual evil, like adults but IT was told me
INA, thew are equally in evil yea that they also are
nothing but evil but that they like all angels, are
withheld from evil and held i'll good by the Lord SO
that il appears to them as II they were In Sood OF
themselves Wherefore also infants after they be-
come adults in Heaven lest they should he IN false
opinion concerning themselves that the good with
them is from them and not from the Lord, are some
tines let back into their evils. which they have re-
ceiyed bereditarily and are left in them, until they
Know acknowledge and believe, that The case Is
So certain one also who had died an infant, but
who grew up in Heaven, was OF similar opinion
he was the son OF certain king wherefore he
was LEI back into the life of evils in which he was
born; and then perceived, from the sphere OF his
life that he had q disposition 10 domlneer over
others and that he esteemed adulteries as nothing,
which evils he had derived heredtariy from his
parents; but after he had acknowledged that he was
with whom he was before. No one in the other lie
ever suffers punishment on account OF hereditary
evil because is not his thus it is not his fault that
be is such; but he suffers on account OF the actual
evil which is his own, thus as lar as ne mas apPro-
pnaied to himself hereditary evil by actual he
That infants when they become adult, are lei oack
mo sa,e of their hereditary evil, is not therefore
hatbey may suffer punishment for it but that they
may know that of themselves they are nothing but
owl, and that by the mercy OF the LORD they are
taken from The hell which is with them into Heaven:
and that they are in Heaven not from any merit OF
their own, but from the Lord; and thus that they
many not boast before others of the good when Is
with them for this is contrary 10 the good OF mutual
5ye, az il is contrary TO the truth OF faith
%. Several times when some infants have been
Sseiber with me in chors, when they were as yet
LDgether iniante, they were heard as something
snter and inordnate that they did not yet act as
ns SIS they do afterwards, when they have become
core adult; and, what | wondered at the spirits
With me could not refrain from leading them 10
peak such desire is innate In spirits But II was
each time observed that the infants resisted, not be-
tswiling 30 TO speak the resistance and repuS
rince, which was with a species OF indignation,
k7e often perceived; and when any liberty OF
Eeskine was given them, they said only that 40 as
vet 80. l have been instructed that such Is the
temptation of infants, in order that they may learn
md get accustomed not only TO resist what Is false
and evil but also that they may not think speak, and
oct from another, consequently that they may not
