Mr. Jouy G WILLIAMS Of Boston who styles himself a
Medium wishes to set forth through columns his
sons for not shaving and they seem to be pretty wei
condensed. we give him a hearing. We not afraid
of any excessive hearkenng to his cOunselswhich run
thus
REASONS FOR not SHAVING THE BEARD
In the first place it seems that all wise Crea
could have placed the beard of the mae man on his
face without some wise end to be obtained by its growing
The hairs Of orr head are NUMBERED and therefore
each ard every one is designed for some good use
g. IL j. a. much subyersion OF The designs Of God to
shave of the beard it would be to cut down forest OF
trees and sferward by continual eHerons, t. prevent
another growth Of trees or vegetables on the soil.
l. To practice shaving is continual exertion on the
mart of man 20 destroy tho works of God and unnatural
because the Creator in the continual endavor 10 repro
duce and establish beard Such has been the strife be
tween this medium during more than forty years that he
shaved of what the Creator reproduced until he cut on
about thirty feet in length Of beard from his face What
monstrous destruction Of tie vitality 0f the ysem a.
wei as If refined nntTiment
5 Ihas been told to this medium from tie spiritual
world that the bear has especial reference 20 guard
kept by spirits over the speech Of men OF The power 10
DO which they in great measure deprived the moment
the beard is removed from mans heed
G. They say also that man By removing the beard
from his face DESTROYS the distinction hat God has wisely
rlaced there to show that be is man, and not boy
= That the destruction Of this Distinction causes men
women and children 20 forget that lac IS man. and that
u- iml ehncnce and Ty0ly 0i speech are engendered
in all the race the constant eject oi remo' IN dstnc
Tlotthc Difference tlat Is observed in speaking 70 fe
males arise from the fact hat they canno. remove from
tie view Of the race the pectoro developments Of females
and thus and children Are reminded constant
Is that female aye, may be- the mothers OF angels and
the effect OF this Is 10 check mpfnence IN sen
