faith is infdelity then we are as you say and
intend to remain so in spite of assault.
But we lack facts, you say: All right, we
will right here produce q few from your DOCK
OF spirit messages called by you the Bible.
First-Moses received the commandments,
already written. This is manifestly slate
writing. Ii it could be then why cannot II be
now2 Do you know?
Again. read Daniel, chap. ii: Revealed
vision of Kings dream"
Again read Daniel, v:5: spirit fingers
write message upon the wall"
If it could exist then why not nowf Have
natures laws and natures God changed
You claim he is unalterable.
Here are recorded two distinct phases of
slate-writing. Are they of the devil2 Are
they fraud? Or what are they?
How about spiritretu as borne out by your
book of faith or the Bible?
Read twenty-eighth chapter OF First Samuel,
seventh to twentieth verse.
Here you are shown medium in the very
act of communicating with departed spirit.
Samuel came to the witch or medium of
Endor.
Samuel would not come to Saul. Why would
he not? Read life OF Saul, you may see the
reason. In this chapter all OF your points so
for naught.
Again read Mark ninth chapter; Luke ninth
chapter twenty-ninth TO thirty-fifth verses.
Here, too, is direct manifestation of spirit
return Moses being dead many years, ap-
peared with Elias as spirits, not angels,
speaking and conversing with the Nazarene.
Again Matthew twenty-eighth chapter,
twentieth chapter.
AL of these mediums agree upon the return
of the NaZarene after his crucifixon.
Now here are records of three distinct
manifestations of spirit returns of four diff
ferent spirits who once were mortals. all
recorded from the very book from which he
condemns the truth of spirit re turn.
Now l have nothing more to say, only let
the reverend gentleman set time and place. l
will meet him in public accepting his chal-
lenge and W ill swamp him with facts from his
own Bible.
With these remarks / shall have, hope,
silenced all controversy. You ask why your
spirit friends do not come to you, instead of
going to few mediums 1 will say it is just
with you as with the majority. You do not
want them to come. You are not seeking the
truth. In a narrow-minded creed you shut
out all and investigate nothing outside of
your own ideas. You pray and invoke the
spirits TO come to you with the mouth, but
with the heart or desire you repel. If by any
chance the spirits you pray to come 10 you
should appear actually to your sight, feel
you would not remain long enough to look at
them in order to identity who they were.
therefore the spirit does not desire to
frighten You to death.
Now, reverend, sir, read Matthew vii: Is,
and Corinthians, ILL See what st. Paul
says, and hereafter don't show your lack of
faith in your own Bible and your ignorance of
its contents. Read IL more. 1t will surely do
you good. PROFESSOR CHARLES A MINGo,

Judge Seawe11 Says Nom Resident Cor
porations Must Give Bond for Costs.
Judge Seawell has rendered an impor-
tant decision in regard to nonresident
corporations.
The question involved came up in the
case of the Phoenix Insurance Company
OF Hartford against J. E. Partridge, which
was begun in the court of Justice of the
Peace Kerrigan, wherein Attorneys Hill
yer and Jacobs raised the point that
nonresident corporation ought to be COM
PEELED to furnish bond for costs of court,
and Judge Kerrigan ordered bond for $50
to be filed in court, refusing to enter the
default OF the defendant until the bond
was on file.
Upon this the Phoenix Insurance Com
pany applied to Presiding Judge seawell
Tor a writ OF mandate requiring Justice
Kerrigan to proceed with the trial without
bond for the costs. After hearing argu-
ment Judge Seawell decided that Justice
Kerrigan was right and dismissed the
petition for the writ

The following letter on the subject of
DR.. Farrand's address has also been re-
ceived:
SAN FRANCISCO J an Is, 1897.
Editor Morning CdJL-DEAR SIR: In your issue
of 18th saw reported some remarks by one
said to be "a Rev." F. r. Farrand, who has
mistaken his calling, that OF instructing the
people. He should confine his teachings to
subjects of which he may have some knowl-
edge and not venture upon one on which he is
entirely ignorant.
One simple question asked by him expresses
spiritual phenomena" hence say Glands
off," He says, "why if the spirits OF those we
have known can return do they not come to
all of us?" Read up young man and you may
know. This was question propounded to an
audience presumably intelligent, which any
ten year old boy or girl could answer who had
ever heard spiritual philosophy discussed.
On mind-reading he is equally uniformed.
Better restrict himself 10 theology where
his bluuders may not be so apparent
Byron says: 1.-THE man who denies what he
cannot dsproye is fool" Spiritualism has
demonstrated to the world within fifty years
what the Christian religion has failed to do in
nearly 1000 years. 1t has proved The indi-
vidua existence OF the spirit after the death
of the body and its ability to communicate
from the subjective to the objective state of
being, and is continually giving these proofs.
am not medium, nor have | a relative that
is one, but think this mud singing by clerical
gentlemen should cease; can they not in the
gospel of Christ find subjects OF continued in
terest upon which to employ their mentality ?
Respectfully, Mrs. G. PALIsH.
