RE-. Mr.. MICRE, of Milwaukee, recently deliv-
cred an address before the Young Mems Associa-
ton of that city subject, "Spiritual Knockings,

thing claimed of that nature, and pronounced en-
phatically that no such things were or could be.
Of the two classes of men-those who believe eve
ry thing AMI those who believe nothing we think
the latter most to be pitied and to this class
evidently belongs our Rev. friend. Now, with
ference 10 these matters, there are facts existing
palpable TO those who are net stubbornly blind
worthy of attention and examination, and those
who dogmaticaliy pronounce that there is not and
cann2t be any thing Of the kind, because they can-
not comprehend it, simply assert in SO many words
that the creator of al things can 10 nothing outside
Of their knowc lge. And Yet these men, who thus
trustalni hty power and dogmatically prescribe
It's limits not un!requen;ly dcnource as blaSphe

safe facts as they present themselves. Ofcourse,
with these facts comes vast deal Of error, humbu1
and absurdity, just as the god which comes from
the bowels OF tie earth, is accompanied byyast pies

How prcposterous then for men, from the press the
pulpit, and the forum, TO set themselves up and say
that this can't be So and that can't be So because

present impression is, th1t facts will continue facts
IN spite OF any and all persons whose interest or
prejudice leads them seek their overthrow and
that people of ordinary wisdom will continue to
make use of their reason, to seek the truth and re-
jco& the error.
