DEBATE ON S-PIRITUALIsM, between Elder
Isaac Errett and Joel Tiffany, Esq.
1t is known to many of our readers,
that a debate upon Spiritualism was held
by the gentlemen above named, at the
Empire Hall, in this town, a few months
since, which owing 10 the interest felt
in the subject, then and the known tai.
ents of the d~isputants, attracted much
attention at the lime. The addresses,
as the words fell from the lips of the
speakers, were phonographically repor
ted by ]. D. Cox, Esq, . gentleman ful
ly qualih ed for the task, and have been
published in the form of a handsome &C.
tavo volume. by George Adams, book
seller. of this place, and is now for sale
at his store. The mastery manner in
which the subject was handled by Mr..
Tiffany, who, il is universally admitted,
has no superior among the advocates of
Sp~iriiualism ; the peculiarly of his par
ticular doctrines, which differ widely
from those advanced by Messls. Finney
and Lockwood, in their addresses in the
same place: the strong effort on his part,
made with great skill and e~loquence, 10
prove the truth of the startling PROPOSE
ton, that the phenomena, and teachings
of Modern ~Spilitualism, are identical
with the ,earhings of Jesus of Nazareth,
would alone, render the book interesting.
But when to This is added, the logical re-
phi of Mr.. Errett, (whose reputation,
both as a speaker and a scholar, is 100
well known in this vicinity 10 need COM
ment from US the perfect acquaintance
which he, too, exhibited, of the subject
of spiritualism ; the ~unf1inching strength
with which he met hisopponent, at every
step his warm, eloquent and powerful
defence of the religion of his churh all
these unite to render the book deeply in
teresting to any reader. Still more in
teresting will it be 10 the believers in
Spiritualism, and those who are mem
bers o. the Disciple Church, as being the
exact words used in the debate, by two
of the strongest champions of their re-
specrive doctrines. And most of all,
will it interest those who were present
at the debate, and listened with untir-
ing attention to the protracted disputation.
