WHAT THE SPIRIT WORLD THINKS
OF VACCINATION.
From the New Church independently :

at the outset, we have to declare that
the scientific minds Of the spirit-world protest
against the practice Of vaccination because it is
a monstrous evil, and their protest has been
sown in various minds throughout the civilized
world where this practice is INDUCED in. We
propose now to give in brief some of our reasons
for ~uttering this protest. One-and perhaps
the most potent of all-is that ninety per cent,
of all that disease known as consumption, either
Of the lungs or Of any part of the body, may be
attributed solely to the presence Of vaccine
matter in the system. Ninety per c ent. Of all
your sufferers from consumption may date their
misery back to the hour of vaccination, and per-
haps still further back to that which they have
gathered from this same evil stream from their
ancestors. Eighty.fve per oent.-mind you
these are statistics that have been gathered by
scientific minds, the most of whom are tin on
earth, and able to answer for themselves
eighty-fve per cent. of all those nervous diseases
that so afHict humanity are attributed solely to
the presence of vaccine virus in the system.
Seventv-fge per cent, of that evil known as
scrofula, that is exhibited in so many forms, is
traceable, in nearly all cases, to the presence OF
vaccine matter. The early degeneracy of Amer
lean youth has its paTentage there and nowhere
else, aud what is true IN their case is equally
true, though perhaps to smaller extent, 10 the
case of the youth of other countries where this
practice is enforced. Fifty out of ever" hun
dred children who are attacked with scarlet
fever die in consequence of the ~mingling of the
poison engendorod by the fever meeting tie
virus of vaccination that is ia the 5ystem.
Your insane hospitals are teeming With victims.
To a large extent the insanity that exists
amongst you to-day may DO attributed solely to
that, Il has gotten to BIZ q power SO mighty
in your midst that, thauk Heaven, there are
minds in this country and the Old World that
are protesting against it, and with pen and
tongue are striving to put it down. The mother
looks upon the little dead face in the coffin,
aud says ooh, what a dispensation of Proyi-
denco," when she sholld have said, "What 8
dispeusation of vaccination.2 A mighty, mon
strous evil coming from that great source q
evil! Sixty-6ve per cent. Of all crysipelas may
be attributed to the presence OF vaccine matter,
And [ might 90 on with a list reaching from here
to the Ola World. and [ would do so would it
add a feathers weight to the testimony that has
already been put before you This monstrOus
evil is sanctioned aud, more than that, enforced
by civil law. Who make these laws 2 This
male members of society, to their shame. Let
Us hope that when the female members have the
right of suffrage given tham they viii make
better laws. Let us hope that as their minds
are open-moro open AT least than the male
members of society-to Inspiration from the
higher life, they viii be instrumental in making
better laws, in iuauguratju5 a better state Of
affairs 10 the carth-life. lie VINO was the prime
mover 10 introducing this monstrous evil upon
humanity now mourns Ia spirit-life, and is
crowned literally with thorns ia consequence Of
behOlling the monstrous evil that has been sOWn
broadcast in the land. His memory, q few
years ago, was crowned with laurel, but to-day
in tue spirit.worid it is hung with cypress, and
be mourns as only a great spiri5 can mourn
Aud be prays earnestly for the time to coma
when this great evil will be swept from the land,
when laws will be made preventing as they are
now made enforcing the practice.
