In that case all that constituted beauty of character on earth is intensified in heaven. Then what is, more beau tiful in a woman than true motherly affection .and if motlierly affection exists here, as I realise it docs, it is ten-fold stronger in the henvenly beings. That being so, where is a mollier’s heaven if shut off from the children she loves? If she were so shut off her heaven could only be a gaol, and the reward ot a nldthcr’s good and dutiful life a prison-cell. In the light of my personal experiences I believe with Bishop Pearson (c.f.

ton Court Palace,” relates as follows:—“ It seems that now some 17 years ago tliere dwelt in one of the suites of private apartments on the west side of t'lie Fountain Court a certain Lady ----- , wlio liad for several years assured lier friends that she was frequently'
cons.cious of the jircsence in her rooms of two invisible beings, and that she was greatly disturbed by tlic mysterious sounds of rapiiing tliat emanated from tliem. in various (luarlers of her. apartments. So convinced, in deed, was Lady ----- of tlie genuineness of her weird and uncarlfily visitanis, that siic addressed .a formal eomplaiiit to the Lord Chamberlain on the subject. His lordslii]i, however, answered, so tlie story goes, that “ he most deoline to move in the imitter, as it was not oiia that fell witiiin die purview of his department; ” but he referred her ladysliiii'to Her .Majesty’s Board of Works. To that .lugiisl ami omniscient body she accord ingly had recourse, bid, in rejily to rei|nisition, was informed, so it is said, that “ the Board ” de clined to interfere in the matter, on the ground that “ dicre were tm funds at their disposal ” for anv such purposes, and that the jurisdiction of the First Commissioner did not extend to the spirit world. There for a time the matter rested, the two departments still maintaining their attitude of sceptical and inasterlv inactivity, and Lady ----- still complaining that her rooms were haunted, and inveighing billerlv against the incredibility and apalliv of “ that tiresome Hoard of Works.’-’ -\t last, however, a lew years after, on the 2nd of November,, 1S71, some’workmen, while excavat ing in the cloister of the Fountain Court, nearly opposite L ad y ----- ’s door, for the system of ear ning out a new. system of ilrainage, came iqion two jicrfeet human skeletons, ahont two feet be low the level of the pavement. They wen? the ro- mains of two full-grown men, and from-the ])osi- lion in which they ivere fouiiil, it was evident that lliey had been In'istilv buried, or ralher, perhaps, thrust beneath tlie surface of the ground.”
THE OBJECTOR.S.
Mr. F'airhnrsI, one of the former tenants, has dcelarcil that ncitlicr he nor any other member of Ids family ever heard anything or saw anything in the sp:iee of five months, Tliat is all right so far as it goes. He never saw Christ crucified, nor Charles Peace hanged, but the negative eviilcnce does not at all affect the fact that the consumma tion in such case was attained.
A WORD WITH M r . s p o o k . mortals ol attaining to a con
dition of Iiappiness, Mrs. Sagar stood as good a clianee as most of us of inheriting what is called
the Kingdom of Heaven. I am not jesting when I write in this strain, matters pertaining to the nature of man arc too serious to be dealt with in It spirit ol levitv. The difference between one
cliild and anollicr al birtli is the difference only ol cireunislancc, and tins difference is only shonn in its dcvcloj>c«l form m up-grown per-sons. \Yliv then did she come? Had her lips been
o]>encd, her vuicc been heard, what mi^ht she not have been able to tell? bhc cotiM have un- foMcd the yrand secrets of life and death, of this world anil the next, if, as the curtain \\as held aside, .she hail only yiven that knowledge of whicli she must have been posscsed. The greatest fear of people in this life is the fear of death, not beeaujic of the pain of death, but because ot the tinccrtaiiity of it. To tlie average mind death ts ■ i bilge barrier and all beynml is tliaos. If tbe veil could be .Irawn aside and the world of eon- seiiuences seen as it is, wliat .1 light would be thrown uiion our lives! As things arc at pres ent, with our earthly ignorance concerning the

to bcHve tliat she was a yood woman with a di vine mission comnumicaled to her from the spirit world, and so far has this been shown that the Catholic Church to-day venerates her under the title of “ Blesseil,” and in a few years she will doubtless be the patron saint of France. Is it demonoloyy as Mr. Spook suggests? What is demonology?* ? Who knows anything about these (lemons or devils? We have no authentic record of .\uld Niekic Ben getting any nearer to imor humaniiv than to Martin 1-uther’^ mkpot. And if the devils are prowling about, as‘ Mr. Spook might seem to indicate, wiiat are thev doing out of hell? And if thev are out will they ever go back again? I’ossiblv Mr. Sj)ook thinks a number of them have a iirst-elass contract ticket between earth and hell available for all time. I (jinte agree that to <|iiote Shakespeare, Long
fellow, Wesley, an.l others as believing in ^|)irit iciurn docs not make, spirit rcinrn a fact, but the evideme of men ol sterling worth surely cannot be altogcliier discariled. Chnstiamlv m its teachings rests not njam evalenec which is actuallv pro curable to-day. Tlie evidence in favour of spirit return at the present dav is absolutely oven\ helm ing when considered against evidence of any other svslcin of religious belief. As for Spiritualists be- loiming to a class of people willing and eager to be niijicd, lei me remind mv friend that the vast majority of Spiritualists are people who liave dc-
, ehiicd to be iliiped and have turned from almost evervwlierc to that svstem, of the truth of which thev had demonstrable evidence. Ihere are tliousands of people who belong to the different

Doctors are not infallible by a long way.
