Letter from one who wants the whole
Truth, aud Nothing but the Truth.

EDITOR HERALD: L was exceed
ingly pleased this morning with the
very able communication from " b. l..
p" on Esprit Phenomena" :" He
certainly comes to the front at good
time, and I truly hope that the "sci-
entists, editors" and theological "sy-
mods i" may accept the invitation of
your contributor, that they may be
truly enlightened on this vexed .ques-
tom Of spirit plienomena. Emanuel
Swedenborg was o great searcher after
truth, and the quotation Of "B. L. p"
sounds very much like the doctrines
of that great man. Il am glad Indeed
that a man who has Investigated has
spoken, and spoken such brave words.
For instance, he tells us that In his
experiments he learned but one truth
that he did not .tpositiyelyi, know
before, vlzn: tive were convinced in
the most positive manner that men do
live after they pass out of the body"
The great problem, Of the age is, Elf a
man die, doeshe live again?u, IfSpir-
itualism solves this problem in tie af-'
firmative, then all hail to Spilitualism! |!
We have the evidence of thousands to
the fact, and "B. L.P!1' unqualitiedly
adds his testimony In my humble
opinion, r." b. l.. P.i, was well repaid.
for his years of investigation He has.
learned the grandestand most sublime
truth the mind of man Is capable to
grasp or understand. b
.fTheEkey atuulockedAt the mystery
or our existence to b. L. p. and proved
so conclnsively ohim beyOng q doubt
a continued life beyond the grave,
will, in my opinion, be the instrum mt
in the hands of the good and noble of
earth to reveal the great and glorious
.truthaof the immortal xistence of the
whole human family. Io
I Then will come the time spoken Of
when "men shall see as they are seen,
and known as they are known" and
not Through a glass darkly,n as at
present. The hordes of atheists and
infidels to an existence after this life
will be confounded; doubt and skepti-
cisln vii melt away as dew before the
morning sun; difference in, opinion,
the cause Of much strife in Christian
lands and among Christian people in
regard to this future, will pass away in
a great measure, and the whole world
will rejoice in the grand and glorious
truth of life beyond the tomb,I vouch-g
safed through the heaven-born teach
ings of Spiritualism.
Il. l.. p. goes on and says: "Butl if
the advocates of spiritualism can point
to any other truth made positive which
was not known before, and which is
of value, to mankind, we would gladly
acknowledge it," "Any other truth!'
Mr.. Editor, / think there may be
many more truths, lnany mysteries
explained, by and through the phe-
nemena and philosophy of modern
spiritualism. But, las the lawyers say,
1 rest my case I have had glory
enough for one time. IT spiritualism
never does anything more than to
prove Sin the most positive manner
that men do live after they pass out of
the body, it has accomplished its CEN
.tral and most innportant sobject-robs
the grave of its victory, and death of
its sting; and if the decision of theE
1" Presbyterian Synod of San Francis-
COZ is correct, all we have to tsayiis
that the angels of the, devil have
proven a greater truth to q spiritually
hungry world, and in SO doing have
done more real good and showered a
greater universal. blessing on man.
kind, than the angels of light have
the credit of doing in this great age
OF thought and progression.
