SPIRITUALISM.

To THB EdITOE

Sic, — " A lover of revelation " is deeply grieved to find thoughtful people m Palmerston N. striving to satisfy themselvpg respecting the future state. He loves ancient revelation, and evidently has no faith m the modern. Since nature so continuously reveals fresh mjs* teries, the spiritual side of nature may alao have its revelations, for all things are natural as the laws which govern them are understood, A j miracle might even cease to be a wonder. In the Church the ministers pray that our faith be increased, and iv the Times your anxious core respondent sounds a note of warning against those who are striving by means of modern royelation to make their faith " the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." The language of coin* | mendation alluding to the Bereans lis equally applicable to psychologists, who m their search for light I do more than pray for an increase jof faith. The Bible ia almost a text bonk, for spiritualists (not a myth) and it docs not discountenance an earnest search after truth, but tells us to prove all things and hold fast jto that which is good. Louver sof5 of | Revelation "would do well to brufsh | away the cobwebß of prejudice, dnd [ he will then see there are other earnest men who dare to say " there' are more things m Heaven and earth [ thai, are dreamt of m your pnilosophy. Horatio." [ I am, &c, Another Lover of Eevelation. Palmerston N/orth. Feb 18, 1884.
