To the Editors Of the Echo and Advertiser:
As we have undertaken to enlighten
manknd-(or ourselves)-on the above
subject and have already taxed ourselves
heavily, yet I wish to add one suggestion
on your view of the manner by which
angels and spiritual beings were seen by
mortals during the age of Bible history.
You think God caused them to assume a
visible form SO that the natural eye saw
them. Permit me to suggest whether
it is not more probable that the spiritual
eye Of the beholder was opened and he
caused to see spiritual forms or beings
| am inclined to think such was the fact.
Man has spiritual as we'll as natural
body but the spiritual senses are not
always opened during his mortal state.
Yet, that they are at times l have no
doubt. merely "throw off - query,
" eliminate ;"-EDs. Echo this idea
as the true psychological PHILOSOPHY of
those phenomena. But | will not en-
large, although the subject is an import
ant one, and had l not tresspassed so
much on the patience Of the reader,
would say more. SIS. C.

m6S- We are inclined to think thc
idea suggested of IS. S. g." very
probable one and, indeed, so strongly
we're we impressed, during the discus
sion on this subject, with the opinion
that that was the real method in which
spiritual intellgcncies were seen in
former times, that we had thought OF
suggesting it at the time, but considered
| it as rather a side issue, as it would
make no difference, that we can see, in
regard to the truth of modern "spiritu-
al manifestations. We presume, from
the account furnished us, that Adam,
in paradise, held communication with
bis Maker and the inhabitants of another
sphere, as man would communicate
with his friend, with the difference that
tho intercourse between friends is
through a material organism, while that
between Adm and his Maker was
through the spirit. But after the fall,
and in consequence thereof, the image
Of God in Adam became defaced and
his spiritual perceptions blunted anC
blinded. 1t being necessary, in the ar
rangements Of Gods government, tha
intelligence should be conveyed to mai
from a spiritual sphere, it followed tha
the spiritual eyes of those to whom tn
communications were to be deliyere'
should be opened. The necessary com
munications having now been made t
man, his spiritual eyes are closed unit
he becomes purified from sin and it
effects. But we are approaching groun
| oyor which we have alreadv travelled.
