OF doctrine, a question OF faith with the
churches. is 10 the spiritualist matter of
daily practical experience.
The distinguishing feature between spir-
itualisn as a form or basis of religion
and the more popular systems of religion
of the past, between the verities Of their
modern revelation and the familiar faiths
OF the earlier thcologies, is practically
this: One rests on facts, the other on he
lief: one is a matter of demonstration, the
other of speculation. The difference is no
less favorable than fundamental.
Unlike the religions of the past, spiritual
ism asks not acceptance, save as it ap-
peals with irresistible power to the high
est reason and deepest consciousness of
the individual soul. 1t calls not for faith
in insOluble mysteries, but for facts in
nature in human experience. AS the cry
of the old was Believe, the mandate of the
new is TO Investigate. Whatever speculations
arise must legitimately grow out OF posi-
tive truth and proceed from the domain
Of absolute knowledge. 1t damnS not for
honest doubt; it saves not for mere belief.
Realizing its inherent truth, il welcomes
a proper spirit of disbelief, for it is ever
saving, dissent till doubts dissolve, know
ing that las the scale of the balance must
give way to the weight that presses it
down, SO the mind must OF necessity TO
dem onstration.''
But intellectual perception alone is not
all that is required. 1t is only by the ap-
plication of It's truths to the active daily
life and spirit that ones better nature is
quickened. This results in subjective reali-
ties, and effectively in deeds of justice, of
goodness and usefulness,
All through the ages mans dream has
| been for system of religious thought COM
mensurate in all particulars with the high
est demands of his constantly growing in
| teliigence; that which not only responds
| to his augmenting scientific knowledge,
but which equally supplies his every spir-
itual aspiration. Failing to have these
prime necessities of his intellectual ma
| ture satisfied, the natural desires of his
! heart appeased, or the longings OF his soul
| nature supplied, materialism has flourished
| and its disciples have increased despite all
combinations OF church and despotism of
the state. Antagonisms, desperate and pro-
! longed, mark the development Of all pro-
gressive theologicalideas. Born amid blood
/
! foothold and a continued existence.
That religious inquiry, spiritual truth,
a higher conception OF our eternal relation
ship, the utterance of religious convictions,
! the voicing of mans deepest munitions,
should always have been opposed by the
| church-with the sword, when conditions
| permitted; when otherwise, with the spirit
! italwa presents-is the one monstrous in
| consistency of mans nature, the most
! appalling anomaly of all time.
The stream of human testimony, in evi-
dence of an intercommunion between this
ana the inevitable or supernal-supernatur
world, has flowed unbroken from the
earliest to the latest time. The testimony OF
each subsequent age has been con-
sistent with that of its antecedent, and
cumulative with the passing years. III this
