Will aid me in inducing this people
TO worship heather gods! The nations
that surround Eden, worship the living
God. This 10 somewhat against nv de-
signs. Some few thousand leagues 10 the
west of this paradise is q nation of peopje
called Spicelarders. Their religion is A
peculiar one; they feign 10 believe 10 the
living God bu. maintain that he is an etho-
real fluid, existing throughout the Uni
verse, as drops OF water exist in the ocean
and rivulcts and streams that form it.
They have an image which they call the

principle portion of the ethereal ruler of
the Universe. They Lave also smaller i

conveying portions Of the ethereal fluid
into the main :e eservolr, the Juggernant.
They also believe that all material matter

these people to. give up their false go

the Spiceland religion the dominant one

The father OF human misery was now an
inmate Of the happy garden. lie blew
forth his venom amongst the people; the
greater portion Stunned him as they
would the deadly Upas, but he succeeded
in saturatipg their garments with his poi
sonous fluid. His faithful clergymen sur
passed thei: master in trumpipg up false
hoods against the holders OF bondmen.-
lie induced small body Of men, scorn-
fully, to deride the sacred institutions of
the Garden. In my vision, this body OF
men seemed as small black cloud, but
gradually became larger aud darker, until
Il overspread the horizon like cloud sur
charged with destructive hail. As black
clouds obscure tho rays of the sun, so this
shut out every ray of hope and all think
ing men trembled for their country's tate.
The most popular church was rent in
twain, and the greater portion OF the rell,
gious sects were sunk into the turbid and
angry gulf called the political scess-pool -
One OF the great political parties was bro
ken into fragments; whilst that great po-
lltioal party, whose policy had rendered
Modern Eden the most powerful nation on
the planet, though founded upon rock,
was shaken to lis very foundations. In
the city of Bread, lived three sisters, who
