M. Editm.-l notice in your paper
Of Oct. 3, an article from the Rev. Mr..
Bailey in reference to the convention Of
Spiritualists, holden in your village in
September last. If the spirit Of that ar.
ticle is Christian spirit, then would l
wish to be considered anti Christian as
he calls us. Was he afraid Of an invcs-
tigation OF the principles he processes,
that be saw such an improperly in visit.
ing our gathering. and meeting the argu-
ments there advanced with argument, a.
our opposers were invited to do? Or did
be consider it derogatory to the dignity
Of bis calling to bs seen among the "dogs"
and "wclyes' Of bis Fathers family.

kind. lie said il was the siek who need.
ed q physician, not the well. 1t is true
We wear no badges, the motto Of which
might read II am holier than thou" but
l positively affirm, that it is impossible
for Mr.. Bailey to prove any claim which
the church to which he belongs has, upon
the name Of Christianity, either by their
creed or their works, to which we have
not an equal title.
This church was founded by men-per-
hsps neither more nor less fallible than
honest seekers for truth Of the present
time. The kind Father of us all had
implanted in them q conviction that it
was their right, and duty, to interpret
the Bible and everything else, for them
selves. God is not partial, VIC know that
he gives us the same right, and we do
not intend any human power outside of
ourselves shall take our consciences in
keeping. We know that through the
dark valley of death we must walk alone,
aud alone, upon our own merits, and not
the merits Of another. Shall We, in the
land Of spirits, stand approved or con.
demned. We believe that happiness here
after is only insured by pure life and
good works. Our opponents believe that
men are saved by faith. We believe that
vice and crime Of every name are fester-
ing in tho vitals Of society, more from
this one cause, than any other, viz. that,
through the professed exponsnts of reli.
gious ideas men are taught that, though
wicked to the extent Of crime, even unto
the elevenah hour, they may, through
faith in another's merits, pas into Heav.
en- white as he who has lived morally all
his days.
The terrible consequences Of this fatal
error are growing more and more appa-
ront from year to year. A noble, hon.
est, pure life is little regarded. Morsli.
ty Is standard Of excellence, is below
par, while profession Of faith is far above.

NOVEL CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. An
inveterate drunkard once asked Quaker
whether he knew Of method whereby
he could cure himself Of his dominant
vice. "Friend," answered Broadbrim
1T is as easy as keeping thine hand
open" "How can that be ?" said thc
drunkard; "eyery man can keep hi
hand open. but as to abstaining from
liquor, that's quite different thing.
II will tell thee, friend. quoth the Qua
ker. "Whcn thee has gotten glass OF
gin in thine hand, and before thee dosl
raise the tempting liquor to thy lips
open thine hand-and keep il open. Thee
breakfast the glass, but thee breakest not
the laws of sobriety."
