PBOBHY writes:—.The deep subject, of imr mortality appears to bo occupying the minds of a great many called divine's as well aa other persons in this age of light. In your issue of the 7tb, an article appeared on this important subjectlsy " Truth Seeker,"iwho has said much more from writings other than the Scripture^ yet asks for §&r,ipt|iral answers tonight quea? tions* H«vißli*»«d *Nrcrfol)y sememe; lecture^ &0., of the clergy and other writers, not ep?aking disparaging of any. one, and only one if I r<>ad correctly-his discourses, would be likely to answer the .questions of " Truth Seeker." Mr E. H. Ttylor, contrary to the bther*i makes a xliatinc'ion of soul and spirit; and as no one has attempted an answer, it would give great satisfaction-to some of Mr Taylor's hearers and to many of his admirers if he would answer the questions in his diecourde on Sunday.
