HANCocK. We think it little more
than year since the Spiritualists of this
and adjoining towns, commenced holding
meetings in this place. Mrs. Pratt and
Mrs. Manchester have administered to
the spiritual wants of this people every
third or fourth Sabbath The former la
dy is very eloquent in the cause OF Spir-
itualism, aud where the "Christian relig-
ion is not ''the religion or rather where .
the divinity of Christ is ignored, she
may gain many converts to her faith.
Mrs. Manchester has acted as medium
and vocalist until quite recently. She
now ofliciates as speaker, in place OF Mrs.
Pratt, who is engaged elsewhere. This
people are wishing to claim or appropri-
ate the public money to which this town
is entitled, for the support Of the Gospel,
for the promotion of Spiritualism. And
thought, by taking upon themselves the
name of Liberal Christians" they could
claim the funds. Had they given the
subject proper thought, they would have
known the impossibility of their so doing,
or even being entitled to the above name,
as no body of people who ignores Christ.
or His divinity, can bear the name of
Christians. A very estimablc lady, a
resident of this town, and a convert to
Spiritualism, recently died She was i'll
some two or three weeks with brain fever,
|, so the spirits termed her disease. For to
the regret of those who are not so spirit
ually minded, the poor suffering lady suf- .
fercd and died without medical attend
ance. We suppose those of the same be-
lief were satisfied that if the remedies OF
the departed (who were so frequently
called to administer to the sick LADY,
were not able to save, that nought earthly
could avail.
The above is strictly true, and has been
the cause of hard criticisms
