Here the conflict is largely between Ia

a strength which the people do not re-
alize.
This conflict, we believe, will go On
Until the labor question is settled by
some cooperative system. Now cap
ital ownsslabor, and harmony never
can he affirmed until capital takes Ia
Dor mas a partner. One rnans*:must
furnish electromagnetic another must
furnish the muscle and labor and the
two must divide the proceeds. This
system is at work now and must go on
until it becomes The rule. There will
BE 4eat difficulties to overcome, just

will succeed:
No sign Of Che times is more enc0ur-

sleepless effort Of Human Liberty to
work itself out IN every possible direc-

will stand agllast, will hold up their

The greaiest living preacher, Henry

priestly dogma Of endless punishment
for SOME years. He is free 1T last. lie
was interviewed recently Ivy newspa-

OF the future Of Christianity, and
the present disturbed state Of it's af~
fairs, Mi. Beecher said:
It is what regard as the breaking
upof spring, swollen rivers, damaged
bridges. and ice and various cataStro-
plies, and yet it is Infinitely better than
winter ANA constant cOngelatiOn. I
think the growth Of the human mind,
the incoming Of scientific knowletlyc
and scientific methods, is going to dis
arrange, tUu large extent, the old ways
Of looking ut moral truths, and there

leave it to conventionalities and shams.
1t has been the labor Of my mind to

give to all denominations an express
ion Of universal consciousness of mind,
so, Wl!lteVrr my preference may be for
this creedor Chat creed, that funda-
mental relations Of man to God would
stand without any hind ance Ivy any
change, or changes Of form or state
ments. There is change going on III
regard to the subject of future punish
ment; not that the punishment is strick-
ell out, but the kind of retfibution and
the powers # retribution. believe
that men are getting more and more to

Il sMALL. P4tN0EAnli OF SPIRITUAL

not say that investigators of spiritual
phenomena 'ssnever try whether writing
can he produced inside two slates Sc
curely locked. together, with only bit
of pencil between .them." That has
been done repeatedly with slate writ
ing mediums. An unbclieVing person
has produced his own States, not mere
ly hinged and locked, but actually
screwed together, has placed them on
a table iii his own house, at some dis
lance from the medium. has sat holding
both the medium s hands beneath his
o~n, and heard, rs it seemed. the writ
ing going on beneath the states; has
taken away the States unopened, and
removed the screws in the absence of
the medium to find the inside written
full Oh both sides with what seemed to
him words characteristic of one whom
he knew to he dead. lleuil not believe
that the spirit of the departed wrote
l., the message, lie had no belief us to the
nature OF the fact, but that it WAS IL
fact he did not doubt. We do not al
lude to any special case in this, but to
MANY cases. And so where Conway
says they never try table-moving when
paper is pasted around the table from
top to floor. But tabl, have been
| moved when previously fastened by
strips of webbing nailed to both table
| and floor, the movement sometimes
tearing out the webbing, sometimes
extracting the nails. 1t is wasting
time to deny the mere facts Of what is
called Spiritualism, or to explain them
all as mere jugglery. We have seen
some Of these juggIers' ''exposures,'
and, except in Il few things like the Da.
venport cabinet feats, they were lame,
quite inadequate to the requirements.
