A Valuable Book.

kitto's Illustrated History of the Bi-
Bile is 10 being circulated in this city,
and, according to the testimony of min
listers and learned mcn everywhere, it
is the most interesting work ever pub
lished in explanation Of the Scriptures
for so reasonable a price. Already
more copies Of this work have been sold
than any other ever published except
the Bible itself. The following are the
opinions of some of the ministers of this
city and also of st. Joseph:
b ing wei acquainted with DR.. Ki;to's works,
having been both interested and prohted by their
pernsal. | heartily indorse the present work as in
every way worthy of a place in every family.

Col. Hays Lecture.

S~AvASNAII, Mo-, July Is, lsi3-
MIR. EDIroR-While stopping in your
beautiful city it was my privilege to
hear a lecture on S~piritualism by Col.
Hay, and as / cannot coincide with the
Colonel in his doctrine, l would like to
make Il few remarks through the col
umns of your paper.
Col. Hay, in his lecture on esprit
ualism," said ''the Bible was written in
the dark ages, by Ignorant men, without
a knowledge of science; therefore, was
not an infallible book" Yet, in the
course of his lecture, he was so unfortu-
nate as to say, while trying to illustrate
the foundation of Christianity, that the
Bible was given to us through The medi-
am of SpiritualiSm. Therefore, his
hearers would naturally infer from his
language, that he meant to convey the
idea that Spiritualists of former times
were uniformed, ~illiterate beings, and
being deprived of the light of science,
were almost void of understanding.
Mr.. Hay denounces the Bible, and
clings to the glorious science of the
nineteenth century. But, will this sci
ence bear him out in all his arguments
and theories? No! On the other hand,
this glorious science of the nineteenth
century is daily confirming the theory
that in ages gone by the dominion of
science was far more extensive than at
the present day. Scientific men and
biologists can almost prove this to Il
demonstration. Now, therefore, accord
inc to his beloved science, a greater
portion of the Bible was written in the
time of this scientific illumination-but
the Apostles seemed to be in possession
of a higher light than science-they had
a higher position from which they could
look down upon science and discern its
evil rs well as it good. For Paul, in
his Epistle to the Colossians, said, 'be-
ware lest any man spoil you through his
philosophy and vain deceit, after the
traditions Of man, after the induce
ments of the world, and not after
Christ" 1.-The Bible is the least under
stood of any book in the English Ian
guagen our self-assured lecturer says;
and from his arguments in favor Of this
theory we would infer that he. and his
advocates only, understood it. But,
from his secular arguments, we should
have to take opposite sides with him in
regard to his knowledge of the Bible,
and from q physiognomical point of
view, we should have to disagree with
him as to their superiority mentally, as u
majority of his believers are deficient in
the development of true spirituality.
and a Proclamation OF the positive or
gans of the Uranium are the most
marked feature in their physiognomies.
! claim that the Holy Scriptures are not
SO difficult to understand as he pretends
to say: but, on the contrary. the Bible
says 1.-THE plan of salvation is so plain
that (even) a way-faring man, though
a fool, may not err therein" The Apos-
tie Paul well knew that such characters
would be among us, and therefore said:
..Let no ina beguile You Of your re-
ward in a voluntary humility and wor-

Another Victory for the "Modocs

On Saturday afternoon was played the ere

seph, and the 'Modocs, - of Savannah, which
was altogether Il onc-sided and very tiresome
affair. The st. Joe papers announced that the
Active Club was coming to Savannah, having
on ''their best trott ing harness, and expect to
do their level best" If they played their best
on Saturday, they need considerable practice
before meeting with such q club rs the emo

our boys made with their visitors, they played
finely to the end. \ special reporter for the st.
