 year ago we warned the community to avold spiritual manifestations and stated then the only safety was to steer clear of them. Our experenee In two years investigation of the subject compelled Us to attribute all thes. ma nlfestations to the work of evil. and thougb a year has since passed over our head wa have been more thoroughly convinced that the position taken by us then was the correct one
 We have seen much, and have passed tbrourb experience dearly bought, and that exnerience has taught us that modern spiritualism is but the work et that class of spirits whom Christ compelled to quit the body of mortals. and en ter into the body of swine. We have seen me- diums who, like the woman in Boston. were looKed upon as the very type of perfection. who. when among spirltualists, would pass as the model ot virtue and goodness, vet these very mediums were adulterssses, and the secret aid- CTS ana doctors ln the development of others in the same category of crime. We have seen tuis hot only III one Instance, but many. We nave seen the husband and children deprived oi "lle ana mother by the commands and di. ! 'o'1oH oi spirit purportlng to be the deceased I Slon on earth was retarded by movino in the sphere of her husband, and we have soan tb;s progressive wife and medium become the mis. tress of another, and he a married man and her course approved by the spirits, not only through one medium, but a dozen-.he same 0,tnr,{i9n sp"7tS communicating the same approval through them all
 we nave seen the reformed Magdalen pros ttute herself after her delivery from the haunts oi siii' to the sensual appetites of man call ing hmseif medlum and this man a husband aud iather, and she highly developed medi. 1 um, aolnS this under the direction of her spi. fiC mother, and spirits known on earth as phi. 'ahthroplsts and christians. We have seen the medium who, according to spritualsts. was the paragon of virtue and perfection, and throuob whom the spirits would discourse most beanfi. fully, and often bringing tears to the eves ot those who composed the circle-we have seen th's model of supposed virtue making love to a husband and father, and poisoning his mind to the merts and worth of his own wife-we have seen this model of supposed perfection also corresponding and engaging herself for q matrimonial union at the same time to another We have seen this medium, who. not contenr with the misery she created in one family throwing herself into the arms of another mar. red man, and by the power of sympathy and athnty, as 1t is called by these devils throuph mediums, and represented to him she was his aihnlty, and he, medium. recprocated these advances. We, in short have known this an. Seic medium, whom to look upon one would suppose the paragon of goodness, guilty of all we nave stated, and at the same time secretl V aldng and abetting others in violating their mar riase VOWS, and fulfilling the spirit law of sfini. ty and attraction. we nave seen medium who was emploved durlnS the day In giving communications tc persons from the other world, on retiring with ner widowed mother, use language and expres. sions which would we'll beit the Five Points we nave seen the spirits, through this m medium give a communication to a gentleman, statino that It was his departed wife, desiring that he should marry this medium; but he. unlike other instances to our knowledge, declined to carry out the direction of the spirits We have seen the medium whose voice was made elo- quent by the spirits, who had left and forsakep his Wife, boast of his power over the gentle sex. and tell us how the female mediums were of ten sent to him by their spiritual guides that he might develop them in the same manner as Potlphar's wife desired to be developed by Jo sseph., We have seen the grey haired spiritual lst ask the spirits what would become of his iilegltimate children in tho other world. ana have heard him told that one good deed would oouhteroalance an evil one, and that by giving 'ne medium money, who was in want thereb, onset St good deed against bad one. But W, VII hot continue this sickenins catalogue oI sehsuaiity and deceit but wha, we know ",
