'.Swendenborg', and Swedenborgian-
ISM We're the subjects discussed yester-
day by the Ramblers at Their regular
hi-weekly meeting Miss Amelia B. My
ers presided at the meeting and intro
duced The subjects with a short and able
paper on sSwedenborg.anism.s She
said@sTo investigate fSwedenbergianism
Is to plunge at once into modern thought
on religious subjects. That there is an
evolution in religion no one who watches
the trend of the orthodox churches de-
ny. The old doctrines Of Luther and Cal
yin, of pr~edestination and justification
by faith are evolving into eternal life
for him who loves God and eternal hap
We are in a transition state. And so
there is a new church growing out of
the old-a church that teaches not the
Westminster catecnism, but that empha-
sizes that if one would glorify his Maker
it must be by having a love for human-
ity. which love is full of s~elf-sacrifice,
of truth, kindness and ready helpful
ness. We find that the new church has
much in common with the church of the
New Jerusalem. This church of the
New Jerusalem SO long as II holds DIS
tsnctive doctrines has, in the opinion of
one writer. no longer Any reason for
existing. It should join hands with other
liberal churches and so help along the
cause of religion. Others say that their
doctrines, correctly understood, are a
subversion of all the Christian churches
now hold. Hence to adopt them would be
a revolution.
Some Of the most peculiar and dis
tinctive things about Swedenborgianism
are:@That the last Judgment has taken
place, and the second advent of The Lord
occurred when the new church was
formed; that Swendenborg had commu-
nicatiors With the other world in which
many things were revealed to him, es-
pecially the state of life after death

ist in the world exist in the heavens in

profound of S~wedenborg's doctrines and
which leads to his peculiar belief in re-
gard to the Bible; that it has an inner
spiritual sense and to S~wedenborg. was
given the key of its interpretation
Mrs. Fred Martin then read a paper
on the Law of Correspondence believed
by S~wedenborg and explained by him.
Miss Gertrude Garland read the doctrines
of Swedenborgianism, and Miss Anna
said Emanuel Swedenborg was a native
of Sweden, but lived in n the great
er part of his life. He was born In 1772.
He was a man Of great intellectual
strength and he had a firm belief in the
doctrines he promulgated. He tried to
make no proseIytes, but made his be-
liefs public through the press alone. A
discussion of the doctrine and its differ
ence from the orthodox religious belief
took place and many hard questions were
propounded which Miss Myers said would
be answered by Mrs. J. A. Bennett o.
Nyack, N. Y, who will lecture to the
club April Is. Miss Myers read a short
extract from one of Swedenborg's works.
