The Bible is the book of Spiritualsm.
There are good and true things in 1t as
well as false. The Bible is merely a
book Of history, and is full of fossils,
The New Testament is book of Spir-
ltuallsm from beginning to end The
life OF Jesus Christ is a long record of
the truth of Spiritualsm. He dared to
attack the wrong, and they put Him to
death for telling the truth, just as many
truth-tellers have been crucitied in
many ages of this world. The appear
ance Of Christ before some proved that
man lived after death. That which was
accepted thousand years ago will not
be accepted now. You who have never
believed the dead return may laugh, but
leave to me my beautiful reality that
my darlings return to me to prove that
the living live and the loving still love!"
On August rs she spoke at Lake
Pleasant on 1.-The New Woman" She
said in part:
THE real story of the world is not
written in events, but in ideas; not in
the biography of the few and mighty,
but in the faith and feeling of the
many; not in the intrigues of power,
but in the ideals of the people The
|
kept pace with the physical emancipa-
ton, the mental growth and the spirit
ual progress of woman. To-day, as
never before, the hands on the dial
plate of time mark the hour for new
! dispensation. The Samson of soul pow
err is shaking the pillars of material au-
thority. The people are coming under
| the spell of mighty IDEAS and whoever
/ a,+r oft 1,ioN in
utterance of a peoples thought is truly
great. An era of evolution is upon us
evolution which is not necessarily or
primarily changing Of forms, but an
| embodiment of forces.
| New occasions teach new duties,
| Time makes ancient good uncouth.
| We must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast Of truth.
To-day as never before, new occa-
sions and new conditions confront us
conditions so absolutely new that all
the, intelligence the wisdom and integ
rity of the hour are demanded to meet
the requirements which they impose
1.-THE evolution of the centuries has
developed not only new problems and
new conditions but a new woman as
WELL Not new as regards change Of
form or function, but new in the sense
of the discovery of hitherto unsupported
powers and the development of hitherto
unrestricted vital forces. The new wo
man is here, not as the result of more
advanced civilization, but a more adj
vanced, a truer and higher civilization
is dawning because the new woman is
here. She is at once a result and a
cause"
On Sunday, August 27, she spoke at
Lake Pleasant on Christ Caesar"
In the course Of her talk she said:
This westward journey is the his
tory of the world-the history of the
struggles, the progress and triumphs of
civilization. But in one day the journey
is ended. The chain of humanity en-
circles the globe. We met on the Paci-
fic coast the descendants of those from
whom our ancestors parted six thousand
years ago on the plains of Asia and
we are compelled to realize that we can
not escape the solution Of present prob
lens by a westward fight. There are no
more worlds to discover, no more lands
to explore. We must meet and settle
here in America all the vexed questions,
all the difficulties and the problems
from which all the generations before us
have fed"
She portrayed the unrest that is
sweeping over the world at the present
time and declared that changes were in
process of preparation that would wipe
kingdoms from the map of Europe and
render obsolete the geography of to-day.
THE unrest has extended to this coun-
try. We have departed from the ira
ditions of our national infancy. New
conditions confront us. Complicated
problems must be solved. How are we
to meet the fierce storm Of unrest that
is upon us?" She declared there were
but two methods-the method of Gaze
sar, hate; the method of Christ, love
Hate and love, the two great contending
forces of our civilization.
There has been no wrong committed
no injustice perpetrated, that has not
sprung from our having forgotten or g-
nored the ties of human brotherhood
Restore the brotherhood, and the prob
lens are solved.
Let us have more Christianity, of
Christ, and less Of the Christianity of
man."
