"On the morning of the twenty-fiith of
November, 1850 he caused me to feel his
personal neorness aud desire to enter the
house in which / am ut present residing.
Accordingly, proceeded to the door, open
ed il, and admitted my iraierua visitor. By
previous request, the family granted me the
exclusive use oi the parlor for this spirit-
al interview; we eutcred this room together.

sacred sanctuary OF interior commufiou. ~

brilliant visitor stood affIctionaiely by my
side; though his feet did not descend lower
than eighteen inches above the hoor-be-

organism to walk or stand upon. | wus sui-
ficiently in sympathy with him, to hear, to

requisite control of my physical system to

| lie thus describes what the Spirit reveal
ed as TO MARRIAGES
"What inexprcssible Joy to behold, ac-
cordiDg TO the operations OF these principles, |
the quickness aud beauty of our nlarriuges |
Individuals are attracted TO one another |
from all worlds; and where a true adaptation |
exists There Is true marriage-u union OF
soul with soul--and so perfect aud enduring
IS 1t, that all the attractions and enchunt-
ments of the spirit world act always upon
the conjugully conjoined us upon ONE living
soul Thus in the celestial empire Il they
neither marry nor are given in marriage, but
they are as the angels who find their eter-
nal associates in accordance with the lniyer-
sal principles OF spiritual affinity.
Ihe GodJoined spirits are never sunder-
ed; but what nlan hath joined, 10y no other
authority than custom or inclination, is here
severed for nothing but Truth-lloy Eter-
nal Truth-can exist in the Homes of the
Angels" !"
The manner and difference of intellectual
progress, in the merit world, and the improve
menis on THIS, IN other matters, are thus in
siruclively described by the Spirit:
"What an infinite system OF education
How sweety are we taught! How quickly
do we learn the sublime mysteries OF life
the secrets Of happiness!
Some minds learn great truths in few
days; but nuny, who pass from the earth
into the spirii-world, have seen, are very
slow to disrobc their minds OF error; and
such nre detained in the first circle until all
their theories are displaced hy Truth; their
ialih by knowledge; their pride by llumls
