the Pope but what matters that be VIII be sur
rounded by ten thousand angels, who will conduct MN
to celestial abode without the intervention OF the
Pope or 81. Peter. This is the first great bio" 10
change the Terrestrial to celestial or spiritual church.
Padre Francisco Revelo, the Franciscan trar, In
communication to our circle on sunday evening ihst,
said Who is the Bishopl The Pope OF Rome IS no
more than the man who saws bis wood; there Is no
"poDp in Heaven; Jehovah alone can have pomp.
This il the language Of Of the strc'cst order of
the Roman Catholics, after changing from ealth 10 the
spheres.

This great work of reforming the dcspotlsm, igno-
rance and superstition Of the Church. and the reforming
and Lew-mOdelng of whole nation is being brought
about by who left this earth infant, who died at
the age of hrynno days who is an angel in Heaven
ard goyeness of the spiritual circle; and we are gov
erned wholly by that circle in our temporal Affairs and
if go amiss certain TO be told OF 1t when we
meet.
Sir Ashley Cooper is laboring in his professional
duties he cured me, after suffering eleven months and
appeared at circle last night, and gave perempory
orders that should meet at gentlemans house this
evening, medical board Of spirit doctors were to
Inc a and try TO cure him. " DO not SAID Sir Ashley
doctors meet to consult important cases on this
earth Precisely the same rules are adopted IN the
esprit world"
By command of the spirit circle, keep record Of
what occurs at our circle for future publication

We couldn't advise any friend to bet his lile'
on that story about the Archbishop of Caracas, and
yet, not knowing, we don't say it is untrue. We
await further adyices.
In the same paper, We find letter from
Robert Owen-nOw c5 years old-who is very
ardent Spirituaist as well as Socialist, and who
issues in London Miliennial Gazette, devoted to
his two hobbies, and who ia this letter says:
my impression is that Spiritussm and Socialism
united when understood and fully cOmpreheI ded for
practice are to he the future destiny OF our race.
They are well calculated to evils and to make
the population of tie world good vice and happy and
to establish peace and goodwill forever among our
race Of every color and creed
"To stimulate the population Of the world to attain
this new pbase in its existence, am mpeed 10 call
CONGRESS of Delegates Of tie advanced mind. of the
world to be held in London on the 18th OF next to
consider the best mode by which To commence the
change from the system OF tasehOod and repulson to
that of truth ard attraction, aud thus in peace with
order and wise foresight, benefciay for ALL create the
being we-dOing and permanent progress, without re-
son of the family Of man and establish forever
the true brotherhood Of the hum race, and terminate
evil among men,.
This promises fairly; yet we cannot forget
that friend Owen has been talking Like this for the
last haf-century-always sure that the Millennium
was hardly inch before his nose; STILL it has not
come to hand yet, and We sometimes doubt its
being whit nearer than it was forty years ago.
1t is creditabe to his humanity, if not to his sa-
eacty that he has kept bis faith so strong and his
heart so sunny to the last.
