He thus describes what the spirit re-
yealed as to marriages:---
"What inexpressible JOY TO behold, acII
cording to the operations of these prln-
cip.es, The quickness and beauty Of our
marriages!
individuals are attracted to one anoth-
er from all worlds; and where a true
adoption exists there is true marriage
Ia union Of soul with soul-and so per-
feet and enduring is ii, that the attrac-
tions and entertainments OF the spirit
world ac, always upon the conjugally
conioined as upon ONE living sool.-
Thus in the celestial empire 'they neither
marry nor are given IN marriage, but they
are as the angels who find their eier'
nal associates in accordance with the
universal principles Of spiritual afhn-
lily.
The God.loined spirits are never sun
dered; but what man has joined, by no
other authority than custom or inclination,
| is here severed; for nothing hut Truth
Holy Eternal Truth--can exist in the
| Homes of the angels!' o.

lcctual progress, in the next world, and

tors, are thus instructively described b,
