Ihave taken this extract As an illustration
of the ignorance Of the most enlightened men
on earth CONCERNING the character of the ,spir-
itual or divine laws. Mr.. Seymour Is one Of
the foremost men Of this country, and prob
ABLY as good an example Of cultivated human
intelligence on the plane II occupies Is the
world affords. I do not believe that Mr.. Sey-
mour, or his enlightened readers, would hest
tate to stake, their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honors upon the infalibility Of
this intellectual and social dogma as divine
law. Yet no bubble on the surface Of the
water ever broke more naturally when the
wind touched il than this will break At the
slightest vibration Of the spiritual atmosphere
in which veal iye ! - ! .
Man Is NOT ! beast Jof burden. but Z
spiritual being. 1t is his own fault
that he has torday To- learn his bread
by the sweat 81 his brow" 1t is
one of the penalscousequences that wait on
his failure to use his wisdom faculties and, by
by their means, acquire the ability to live q
spiritual life in which labor would become
recreation and want unknown. Centuries ago.;
when intelligence was FIRST born Of the two
brains, he should have proceeded to put that
necessity away, together with al his suffer-
ings, BY living under the laws provided BY the
chosen instead to live the animal life, to live
il on his own pian, and to apply the spiritual
brain to its uses. and must hence bear the
burdens that animals bear. The Spiritual
man, the Child of the Divine Paternity, by
whom these burdens will be unknown, has
yet entered no appearance upon earth.
When the Spiritual man shall appear, and
take the place Of the sensuous man that nov
inhabits the earth; its present productions
ten, thousand times multiplied will flow
naturally from, The application of the d.
vine principles to use. The human mind
will be receptive of all the wisdom essential
to divine ends; all the conditions Of the
physical, world will be subordinated to his
highest happiness and best good through the
exerti6n of Spirt-power, to which he IS nov in
accessible because, ANONYMOUSLY to himself,
enslaved by the worldly dead. And to those
irreverent philosophers who fear that without
war, psStilence and famine, and the unnatural
slaughter Of the young through mems igno-
rance and obduracy, --they who question the
on Ia own uian..-f will say saw that bv the
simple exercise of spirit viii, the air we breathe
and all the infinite substance that exists un-
realized and undreamed by men, is convertible
into food and win wait in all ways on his wish
es and desires! Il.
