We think that the ADVANCE made
that statement after its editor had l'een
communicating with the spirits
Journal.
The frequent digs of the Journal at
the spirits reminds us of little story,
as father Lincoln used to say.
Recently we met a gentleman from
Luverne who heard Ogle preach a SER
mon in that place. The sermon was so
good, so vastly above orthodoxy in it's
ideas, that the liberal gentleman laid 4
Il dollar on the plate when the collec-
ton was taken. This astonished some
of the Methodists who are in the habit
of laying button or a nickle on the
plate, and they asked the liberal gen
tleman for an explanation Of his con-
duct. lie replied that when he got any
thing good he believed in paying for
it.
Now for the point. We traced up
the history of those ideas which had so
pleased the gentleman and found they
were taken largely from an address
delivered by that brilliant Spiritualist,
Prof. Buchanan, and published in the
Banner Of Light. The copy was loaned
to Ogle by one Of those dreadful Worth
ington Spiritualsts.
We suppose we can afford to let Ogle
ridicule Spiritualism in his paper so
long as he breaches it i'll the pulpit.
By-the-way, we wish to say to all in
quiring people that if they want the
grandest sermons ever uttered, they can
find them III addresses of Prof. Buchan
an, DR.. PEBBLES, VIM. Colville, and
others, as published in the Banner of
Light, the Religio- Philosophical Jour-
nal, and other spiritual publications.
The last election showed plainly that
it has cause to be nervous.
Well we got $3.50 worth of election
printing and you got $50 worth. You
lost $500 to $500 worth Of legal print
ing by your course, and it necessarily
came to us. We have been busy for
weeks on six or eight law pamphlets,
while you haven't single one to print.
We have all the work we can handle.
and it is good paying work, the very
best kind. o, we are so nervous and
so-wicked.
What the election, has to do with it.,
we don't see. Our friends fill the im-
portant county offices; they hold the
highest place and are prominent on the
School Board, and in the village offices,
we'll, that too good TO be true. It is
almost uranus" Its a scoop. Yes,
we are nervous trying to get through
with the business which is flowing in
to our office.

Goodness gracious, you call that
little circular, hand-bill, or whatever
