ployed at per annum, and, therefore,
takes their cash indirectly, in the
face of his affirmation that men need
no divinity doctoring Of any kind !;
all they have to do is to live up to the
light they have, for that is all requir-
ed of them.
Because Mr.. M. imagines we do
not understand the distinction be-
tween the soul, the subject of salvation,
and the term soul heard AL around
us every day, and say and believe
what our Father says or has caused
to be said, he says we are little
child, characteristic absolutely pre-
requisite to entering into the Kingdom
of Heaven, from which Mr.. M. by at
tempting to ridiculc the condition,
is forever barred. However, if Mr..
NJ. would accept what he hears all
around every day, he would be in ac-
cord with scripture for once. When
we hear, as we do frequently, ac-
counts of disastrous ship wrecks
and that every soM on board was
drowned lost or persisted, does that
mean their immaterial, magnetic spir-
its were drowned, lost or persisted?
Scriptural use of the term indicates
that the persons, individuals, Acts
xvii 81, were drowned, lost or
persisted and so does conventional.
We next turn TO Mr.. Ms. ques-
tons from Shakespeare, in which he
is about as successful in getting his
foot into it as in his quotations from
scripture. In applying the express
ion ''robustious periwig pated fellow"
to us, he admits we have torn his
passion-immortal soulism-to tat
tiers, to very rags, and, what we have
been endeavoring to show him, that
he is grounding and capable of
nothing but inexplicable dumb shows
and noise" Hamlet, act third scene
III. Again, in assuming himself to
be the King and we the fool, he adj
mits that he cannot answer our ques-
tions. The truth is, however, not
that he cannot, but that he dare not
without getting into the meshes, and,
therefore, attempts to crawl out by
reciting something new by way Of
diversion.
In conclusion, it is one Of the COW
ardly articles of the most cowardly
crew Of professors that ever cursed
Gods earth, when they fail to sus-
tain their theories by fair argument
TO attempt to blacken the character
of their opponents by insinuations
and inuendoes, which they would not
have the manhood or moral courage
to dare give expression to in their
presence, and that too, in the face of
the notorious fact that, in proportion
to their numbers more improprieties
and Irregularities, more destroyers of
domestic happiness and virtue exist
among them than among any other
class OF men, and the blacklist pages
of history are but rehearsals of the
Righteousness, debauchery, vice, i'm
morality, rascality, villainy and
crimes of priest-craft. Then, until
the dark pages of history are effaced
the record of their villainy in every
country, city and town obliterated,
and the nostrils of the community
fumigated from the pestlcntial
stencil their doingsgive rise to; like
that of Brooklyn and New York, re-
Gently. Let them be careful how
they throw stones.
Finally: We have had Socratean
and Platonic philosophy; water-wheel
and magnetic science and Shaks-
pearian tragedies. What next, Mr.
NJ? Let us suggest to yonr consid-
GRAFTON Egyptian transmigrations;
Hindoo immolations and Joe Smith,
Brigham Young and Swedenborg
novelties; perhaps little cold com
fort might be extracted from some
of them, as they are all the resultsof
the clerical theory learned alike from
the devil. j. @. WILLIAMS.
