THE sp1RIruALIsrs' CONVENTION.

Our article Of last week upon this sub.
ject has called out an article from our
esteemed towpswoman. Mrs. Crane. which
we publish in another column. If we
are able to understand it, we do not see
how it extricates Mrs. Townsend and our
self from the difficulty We suggested last
week. Very certainly. viewing the mat
ter from our stand point, Mrs. r. or any
other lady may have domestic difficulties
entirely beyond her or their owncontrol;'
hut according to her philosophy we do
not understand how it can happen. BY
very strong implication. at least, our
friend admits that Mrs. Townsend is mot
quite able to live up" to what she preach.
cs, and we only suggested doubt upon
this subject So VIC see really nothing 50
far as Mrs. Townsend is concerned why
AIRS. Crane aud ourself ale not agreed.
But the remainder of our frietid's az
ticle is devoted to new matter. She says
eve believe that the Bible teaches" &c,
&c. Admits that they have no establish,
ed crced-don't care much for creeds.
One believes one thing, another don't
another believes another, and so on; and
20 it is no matter what one believes, or
whether he believes anything or not. 1t
is all the same in their philosophy. She
says there was "chaff' in their conven.
ton but she does not have the kindness
to tell us just where it appeared in her
opinion. We can most cheerfully give
our correspondent credit for great frank
ness and honesty. She processes an un-
qualified belief in the inspiration of the
Bible but she admits, virtually, that
many spiritualists do not SO believe. In
proof Of this let US quote the concluding
paragraph from an EDITORIAL article in tie
Banner of Light of June 10, entitled
Progress of Spiritualism y
"Call your conventions, brethren re.
solve and re resolve; save all you can;
but you can not put your religion in our
constitution. nor make this a christian
nation, nor build .Spiritualism on the
Scriptures" Taking Mrs Crane and the
Banner together, We get quite bundle
Of admissions. There is ehaff in spirit
ualisrn :" I've can't quite live up to what
we profess. says Mrs c.. but II believe
in the Bible and its inspiration" "You
cant build Spil;tualism on the Scriptures. t
says the Banner. and here VIC leave our i
friend with the Banner. with whom she S
would seem to have some cause for disa. p
greement. AS VIC mean to be very oblig. Il
ing to our lady friends We shall,

which to our eyes appears evil. we shall 20 A

such securities for either interest or prin

proposition, whether it is advisable for
the town to impose upon its grand list a
sum eqbal to an annual tax for all time

payment of interest. This tax must fall
heavily upon real estate and the under.

would be such as to check Improvements

this opinion, the undersigned could not.

that an oppressive tax, for such an object,

also been broken. 1.-Two Of the skeletons
