A NEW ENTERPRIsE.-Havi been
an observer, and to some extent an
investigator Of spiritualtsm for about
twenty years, I have felt the necessity
mi sht be informed on the subject published
al home. Its phenomena will not now be
questioned by those who have kept them
selves posted in @ ard to IL. Its facts are as
indisputible as any other facts Of which our
senses are cognizable. There is rapidly III
creasing desiTe TO investigate the subject and
know more fully what afe tts teachings In le-
gard to man and his destiny. We propose 10
publish a monthly, to be called The Spiritual
Magazine, devoted to the development OF our
race and country. Reformatory measures in
all that pertains 10 mans physical, Intellect
ual and moral nature will receive due atten-
ton. Belonging TO 10 sect or party this peril
Odical will be independent upon all subjects,
and discuss them freely. Hav1ng been OH
cia ly known TO this community as a Metho-
dist preacher for more than third Of a cen
fury and number Of years publishing and
editing church papers, hope 20 make this
periodical a welcome visitor to those who
DHtronize IL. Believing, as do, that there Is
harmony between christianity and spiritual
Ism, this magazine Will advocate this subject
rom christian standpoint. Ii Will aim 10
keep Its readers posted in regard to the pro-
gressive development OF this subject general
y, and especially in our own country. The
Spiritual Magazine will be issued monthly,
thirty-two pages, exclusive OF the cover, at
one dollar and nifty cents, invariably IN Rd-
vance postage paid. To all ministers, Tor

pectuS two or three times and sending marx
