Isn't it somewhat Inconsistent for spirit.
| ualists to attach so much importance &c
physical objects?
| But to return to the good-and-evil
division of .mortals and, spirits. If a
spirit that once inhabited the body of a
man is guided by Considerations no bet
ter than those (which impel earth
creatures to do violence to each other
if it is to be jealous of its earthly re-
mains, and gain satisfaction through
acts of revenge against those who dis
turb the remains of the body which it
formerly inhabited, then wherein is such
a spirit spiritually superior to whom it
does violence. Wherein is the Immortal
state more desirable than the mortal
state? How could mortals be expected to
revere the spirits?
To the layman who, while accepting
the doctrine of nearly all religions that
true believers" are rewarded in the
hereafter and the "bad" are. doomed to
keep company with evil spirits, the only
plausible explanation of the vengeance

under the most nearly universal con-
ception of the hereafter, have been above
the motives that actuate depraved, selfish,
vcngeful earth creatures who do violence
to each other as 4 means # gaining
Satisfaction" for wrongs. To begin with,
there seems to 'be something amiss
with the idea that free" spirits, sup
posititiously happy in their liberation
from their earthly bodies, should regard
as wrong anything that might be done
to their former prisons.
But spiritualists, like the opponents OF
so many other theories and beliefs, are
too jealous to be consistent or logical,
so that they are excessively eager to
seize upon any happening whatsoever
that seems to them 10 argue in favor of
their teachings.
