The following document wa
written IN the City of Augusta Ga
on the 18th ofApril, 1916, by an illit
crate youth, but little turned o
twenty one years of age, and circula

the Press, as the author supposed il

For so doing, the author was i'm
prisoned in the City. of Savannah
from the fourth day of May, 1916
until the fifth day Of June ensuing
as the records of the Mayors Court
OF that city testify. The author had
no knowledge Of spirit manifesto

the society of friends, (Quakers.

everything that exists; whether it be
spiritual. physical, vegetable, OF
mineral; he naturally. like Moses OF
old, and Fox, and others of more re-
cent date supposed that he wa, in
direct communion with the Almighty;
which in the abstract was true though
not true in the general acCeptation of
that idea. For Jesus although one

Father and He would send him le-

modern spiritualism, as he has OBJ
served the account of the first recor-
ded in the old and new testaments,
and Witnessed the manifestations
and demonstrations of the secone,
abundantly within the last few years,
whereby he thinks. he has obtained a
more perfect knowledge of the rela-
ton that exists between the spirits
of those who have gone before us,
and ourselves, which induces him to
suppose i! was most likely to have
been the spirit of John Woolman, or
some one OF his cotemporaries, that in
1uenced him at that time; but be that
as it may, whoever it was under
stood the scriptures. the use of Ian
yuage, and the events that had trans
Dired in the country much better
han the author did, for he was one
of Virginia's most ignorant sons,
never having seen a copy of the
history of his Country, nor had he
'ead the scriptures to any extent.
Until within afes weeks of the time he
vas constrained to 60 on that memo
able tour, he was one of the most
'eckless yoaths Virginia ever gave
birth TO. He Travelled on foot from |
Ohio, to Savannah Geor-
,ia, and when released from prison
eturned by way Of Loudo9 county
Ia where he was disowned by the
Ociety of friends for publishing the
document above referred to, as the
ecords of Fairfax monthly meet
ng bear witness. Though well
tricken in years he Is still living,
nd looking on the events of our
line as the fulfillment of what he be.
ieves he was Divinely impressed to
'ublish near fifty years ago, and
ives it as his opinion that none but
be most darkened Atheist. or what
) worse. the most bigited Pharisee,
ould fail to see the hand of an over
uling Power in the events of our
ay, and that peace can only be re-
tored when the purposes OF Heaven
re perfected That Heaven had a
urpose in permitting slaves to be
reught here, but that purpose can
OF be perfected until they are Nation
lized in a country of their own. The
ave trader designed it for evil, but
iod intended it for good.
