where his son, in the West, who was badly |
injured on the cars, was assisted, lin his be- |
lief, by the interposition of spirit friends. |
Mr.. Scott sent out petition from his heart |
to spirit friends for aid. and that prayer was
answered.
DIR. Child said that music harmonizes
the brain. There was not only harmony in |
music but there was a language i'll silence, |
even. Music is a high and mastery science. |
1t enables spiritualism to open the way for |
the development of high and holy things |
He says that Bayard Taylor declares that |
music had cOlOrs. That there were zones
all around the brain, and each zone was
represented by different color.
! MIR. Hill ofSt. JOhnsbury, recited poem
on music while in the trance state.
Morning sesgion-second day.
! President in the chair
| Conference opened by Mr. Miller of STAINS
| tcad, Canada, who inquired of DIR. A. B.
/ Child, to explain the sentiment of his work
| entitled d" Whatever is, IS Right" Mr.. Mil
| Ter could not understand how it could be
/ right to do evil things. The Doctor replied
/ by saying, substantially, that the Universe
| was Infinite. God was good and holy, and
/ He pervaded aH His works. And whatever,
| therefore, existed, was right, because the
! Infinite was in all things,-it PerCaded all
! things. If one wished to do evil things, a
/ penalty as great as the deed was evil was
ever attached to it, and il was right one
should suffer for violating the law. And no
evil deed could ever escape the appropriate
penalty attached to it. Therefore the Uni
verse, God, and Whatever is is right, as
that intellectual poet, Pope, wrote and sang
years ago DR.. Child then introduced the
Woman Suffrage question. He said that
if it was right for man to vote, it was right
for lc0BtGH to vote He did not believe that
either ought to vote. He said that the
strength Of this nation was paralyzed and
wasted by the system Of governments and
officers. That each office holder was striv-
ing with an unholy ambition to secure all
the honors all the loaves and the fishes,
and at the expense Of the poor, and of the
energies of our spiritual natures. He said
that if men would obey 4 law after it was
made, he ought to obey what was right
without the expense Of law and officers.
Therefore he did not wish to drag woman
into any system that had degencrated men,
and largely so. the whole human family.
Mrs. \. z. Brown said that she at first
rejected the sentiments of Dr. Child's book,
but on farther pcrusal she understood it
better, and therefore accepted it, feeling she
could learn much from 1t.
Dr. CmId inquired of :. L. Cheney II he
would advise woman to buckle on armor,
ana 90 TO oattle III case OF war.
MI Oheney fePued, that the whole Nys-
TEN OF once electlng from the least unto
the greatest, was perfect cess-pool OF cor
rupuon Therefore he believed that woman
suffrage would be God-send to purify the
political world. lie believed that by elc-
waiting woman social relation, mans would
also be corrc>pondingly elevated, and we
should be less likely 10 have war, and the
, horrors of the battle field.
DR.. Holden said that if woman was fit TO
rear and educate our children. She was fit
to vote mt the polls. lf>he was fit to sweep
our parIor> and our kitchens, to mend our
clothes and cook our food, she was fit to
sweep our political floors, and to stand by
the side of man in all progressive opera
tious.
:. 2. Cheney doubted if re should ever
!. see the day when laws would be done away
with. so that there would be no need OF
voters.
Dr. Holden said that woman had been

rights. by brute force. and religious super
