adult attendants, and lastly through a
aock of tumbling, rolicking little urchins
whose single slips of gingham allowed
the wonderful climate of Dona Ana a
good chance to perfect their seemingly
heslthy organizations. Arrived at the
study several spirit paintings through
the hend of Mr.. Bonalth were shown. One
represents
nINECosTANEE PhlNCE,
During adolescence, with his aims cup;
another Xerxes. hanked on either side by
two shadows but hateful Greek faces.
Then there IS Helen and her first hus-
band Menelaus. Old Priam, of Troy
opens wide, round unfathomable eyes at
Pharoah and his daughter who discov-
cred the abandoned Moses. Whether
these are good likenesses the writer is not
judge, but they are character sketches
of what one would suppose of the more
noted characters. The "Divine Helen,"
rosy offspring OF Jove and Leda, was, not
worth the fuss made over her, of fairly
beautiful face, her form was stringey.
After several trenchant questions Mr..
Rowland ycuchsafed to talk. He ex
planned:
II am not spiritualist in the general
sense Of the word
IL AM A vAITHIsT."
"Can you explain
"Briefy, believe in liz after death in
which the intangible e5serne that now
animates me will live aud approach
in supreme creator. The spirits Of men
who surround the earth by miliions are
Just like you and me. They are the i'm
perishable residue of humanity
"What finally becomes of thems"
Nothing! Many Of them do not realize
death. On earth they supposed it to be
annihilation; but thoy live and in an at
tenuated form pursue their purposes and
hope, fret and worry, just as in life. Tt is
wrong to trust in spirits. Generally they
are great scoundrels. They will lie, cheat,
play tricks, evilly inspire those whom they
may oppose and are
! do not believe a tenth part Of what
they say. If spirit talks to you 1t has
Just the same value as u mans words.
Take them for what they are worth"
"This is rather a cheerless belief, is it
not2"
ooh! no; may 60 on learning, fitting
myself for better things in the spirit
world Just as in life until am trans
ported out of tho heavens of the earth
into the ethereal worlds where there is
hardly limit to my progression"
"What is the purpose of this colony?"
"Well, you see, in these days of trusts
and great organizations Of capital, man
kind is fast drifting into bondage to
few wealthy ones. A short time and the
employer will say to his laborer Saturday
night, i do not want you,' and that man
will starve. There is only
ONE HOPE FOE MAN,
aud that is some sort of communal life
in which they can get along without the
capitalist. 1t will simply be self defense.
Now we have seen the utter futility of
trying to combine adults for this pur-
pose. Their influences are bad There
fore we have taken little orphan babies,
fcundlings in the big cities, out here into
the country, away from the haurts of the
gross spirits that frequent cities, and ars
training them up to rational freedom.
At IA years of age we cease our author
itative supervision.
"You would not SO far allow them lib
erty SO as to permit them to marry at
that aget"
"Why, certainly; we would encourage
it. We preach freedom unto all people
on earth and to the angels of heaven, to
think and speak whatever they will.
They may marry, certainly
"Well, do you allow separation Of
man and w,feS''
Certainly. Two people who can not
live together happily should separate,
but ono thing we do prevent, and that is
remarriage of either party. Death with
us does not dissolve
THE MARRIAGE BOND.
This may seem contradiction of our
doctrine of perfect freedom from authority,
but the truths of Oahspe are SO apparent
that every faithist will accept them with
out question. The indissoluability Of
marriage is one of them. The dis
turbance Of the magnetic influences in
the world beyond is too great other
! wlse."
"You spoke of heaven several times,
what DIP yott mean by that9"
1T is hard TO- explain. You see our
solar system is On Immense vortex within
which are lesser vortexes formed by the
planets. The heavens of the earth are
the confines of the earth's vortex. As
long as the earthly spirit retains gross
