m. No one who heard him could take
exception to his style of discussion or
spirit Of his discourse. His manner and
effort are to eniighten and build UP and
in no sense inconoclastic. He does not
seek TO build up a system by tearing
down that of others but recognizing that
knowledge and obedience TO the truth as
the worlds savior his effort is to awaken
thought and investigation in the fun ex-
ercise of liberty and freedom. In the
support Of the facts of spiritualism he is
impelled to give him endorsement TO the
facts attending the early establishment
Of Christianity and all the religious
movements fthe world. And to those
Spiritualists are not the only witnesses.
They are recorded in the history of all
nations and in all ages. Come out and
