be satisfied with il. Warren says that one acre to
the individual in an equity village is all he would
want of the rich lands of the west, if he had the
whole world to dispose of.
We wish to attract to this place such persons as
are DESTROYS of developing, in harmony, the iudiyid-
ual interior and exterior-who will labor TO pro-
mote universal harmony-such as will, whether it
be in eating, drinking, working, talking, building
or any thing else do all for the glory Tor true devel-
opment) of man. Such MS are tolerant and char
table towards all. Judging persons according to
the amount of good they do in the world, and not
according to their belief--charitable TO those who
are undevcloped, feeling that the work for the more
advanced to do is to help those up who are below
them, instead of trying to ruin their character or
of fning them or sending them to prison or to
hell. But progressiyes arc learning to adopt means
suited to the ends. And sectarians will not look
to such movements for they are going to be saved
"by faith ALONE. They do not look to social reor-
ganization, nor even to temperance, peace, Anti
Slavery, or any other humanitary movement, to
save the world for ignorance, misery and misdi-
r%ection. We want our earthly home to be better
than their heavenly one for they have slavc.hold-
ers, warriors, drunkurds &c., in their heaven. We
want n higher class in our %confrate rnity.
We would say to those called spiritualists that
after this plan was fully developed it was presented
the intehigences which influenced some of the best
mediums which we could find, who encourage anC
cheer us on in the new moment. And we are assur
ed through good clairvoyants and other mediums
that Franklin and a large number of other high
ly developed spirits have been looking up a location
for us, and that they have found the place abou
which they have analysed the water, atmosphere
and other elements, which we can test only by ex
perience. That they will tell us precisely whcr,
it is before the company starts to look up a location
The same intelligences tell us that we should lool
for ourselves, and not allow even angels to thinl
or see for us, but that they think that we will no
regret going to see the place which they will direc
us to. And then we will select it or not as on
reason and observation may dictate. Spirits claim
to be impressing the inhabitants of this sphere anC
leading them on to a higher life, (this, | believe
all who are engaged in this movement believe.
But aside from this, the whole plan was developed
by those who are still in the form.
We would say to those who are not what is term
cd spiritualists, that this movement is not designed
for such as do, or do not believe in 'Spiritualism,'
but for such as desire harmony, and wish to live
temperate, ,~unselfsh lives. Adopting the principles
of equity, charity and love, in their intercourse
with man, with PROGRESSION for their motto. Sucl
surely would not object to having electricity,
{" back-brain,' Or even spirits, it may he, to aid us
But We gre fully convinced of the necessity of CIV
cry ore living his own life, but at the same time
counseling the wisdom of others, whether in or on
of the form.
