NEW SOCIETY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the bigosed opposition evinced by certain o.
the clergy Of Virginia, and their willfully
blind adhercnts, as well as others equally in
the dark, to the doctrines and principles re-
| Gently promulgated by Mrs. Laura DeForce
| Gordon, no course OF lectures in that city
has probably ever been so fully attended.
| The more opposition there was on the part Of
those who persisted in disappearing the
lady, and those who chose to hear and believe
in her teachings, the more popular her lee
lures became, every evening the hall being
crowded to excess. How much those OPP
posers made out Of the arrangement, Pecu-
niarily or otherwise, they perhaps know pest.
II is quite certain, however, that her lectures
have as yet resulted in no apparent haIm,
but on the contrary, treating the SUBJECT IN =
liberal spirit Of fairness, We CONSIDER sn na
there is quite a possibility OF good resuiu SUN
therefrom. In furtheranee oil the Pt,ne,p,eo
promulgated at these lectures. whlcn mt VIZ
attended throughout BY the most respe .
society has been formed which already num-
bers over one hundred members, nnder the
name of the Humanitarian Christian DO
ciety of Virginia." The following declara,
tion Of pr;neiples, extracted from the printed
circular which they have issued to the puoiic'
best explains itself: Whereas, Every organ
ization which has for its object the elnuslon
Of the Snirit of Christ is Christian; and,
U6,yeas, The Spirit Of Christ is one OF devo-
,;on 70 FIRTH land therefore to liberty, no
less Than reverence for GOODNESS land there
fore for the cood), coupled with even love for
every human being land therefore is thor.
ourbly humanitarian); and, Whereas, All
e%xist;nc DENOMINATIONS Of Christians require
Of their membership some definite thcologic
faith (which to US seems needless); and,
U1ereas, the human soul demands an
EQUALLY harmonious, rather than one-sided,
development Of its faculties: Therefore,
Under the name Of the HUMANITARIAN
CHRISTIAN SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA, VIC,
whose names are hereuuto appended 10y our
~lcave), do associate ourselves in order to
promote liberality Of view; to cultivate rev.
erence for truth and for the good; to develop
our own characters harmoniously, and to
ameliorate the condition and elevate the
spirit Of mankind here and throughout the
world /; requiring. not the possession Of prop
ship, but simply and solely an earnest wish
on the part Of an applicant to become better.
together with a wish to help others to do the
same.
