This Society is formed to promu1gatc Tho doc
denbors: and particularly in his book entitled
THE True Christian nelision y; and to maintain
public worship and administer the sacfamenfs IN
conformity with those doctrines:
It results from union OF members and f1teuds o1
the New Church residing in different parts Of Chi,

fratcrnal feeling toward other denominations. AS
the most certain and convenient means Of raising
the necessary revenue, the Society has determined
to sell seats for the year at fixed rate payable
quarterly in advance. Seats will always be re-
served Tor visiting friends and stranger5; and all
who may be interested are cordially invited to at
tcnd as their convenience may allow. They will
be truly welcome, whether they come Us regular
attendants or al occasional visitors. Applications
for seats may be made to any member Of the Board
OF Trustees.
III conclusion, we will add that VIC: hare organ
lied this Society to meet what We believe to be an
urgent demand for more extended New Church
work in Chicago. The desire to know something
more Ut the wonderful system of Swedcnbors Is
increasing. Many who find no answer elsewhere
to the assaults Of skepticism are coming now to
the New Church, asking what answer it can give TO
the objections urged In the name Of science against
the essential truths of the Christian religion. Aud
they do not ask in vain; for the theology Of the
New Jerusalem Church Is the science Of Chris
t;anitY. Demonstrating the plenary inspiration Of
the Holy Bib1e and showing that the manifestation
OF the lndnite God in divine humanity Is in lsar
mony with all we know Of the laws Of the uni
verse, the doctrines Of the New Church nrc as
satisfactory to the enlightened intellect as to the
aspiring heart. j. F. CuET1s Secretary.

No man can number nave lived and believed in
Him; but that uld not save their bodies from
/ decay. Ihey nave returned TO The ground
whcnre they were taken. But persons who
! dwclt IN these material bodies are now in Hear-
Gu, ENJOYING The blessings Of that life which they
made their own while III this world.
ihe1e are mnititudes Of passages Of the same
] import The whole scope and tenor Of the
Lord's testimony, as it Is recorded in the Sacred
| Scriptures, is to the same effect AL His
promises and tflrcatcninos. all his rewards and
pnnishmcnts, relate primarily to the spirit,
which IS the real man. The Lord says that
He "ealne into this world that man might
have lifc, and that ne might have it more
abundantly." He came to raise the dead. But
the material bodies OF those very dead were
alive. The Commandments arc laws OF lifc.-nor
Of physical life, but Of spiritual life. To violate
steal, but spiritual death. The Lords testimony
! is always to this effect. He does not give us a
hint In His Word that it was ever His intention
tnat man should liye forever in this world. The
death Of the body is used as type aud ilustra-
ton Of tue death Of the soul, but never as the
effect Of it.
ssThere Is death that is terrible beyond all
human powers Of conception. This death does
not consist in the cessation OF existence, Dr in
departure from this world. It takes place be-
fore we leave this world, In the days we eat Of
the forbidden fruit. It is death Of the
soul, It consists in such paralysis
and destruction of its nature that all
its finer forms are DESTROYED. The result is the
loss of its cupacity for the most exquisite bless
fnvs of life, and such a arrangement Of. the
lower faculties that the soul is filled with dis
cords. doubts, and SORROWS It is not the loss Of
crisence but it is the loss OF all its health its
;nnocence. it's canarity for real happiness. it is
