NOT DEATH, BUT CHANGE.

(To the Editor of the Brening Star.)

Sib, —If Mr Wood did not get quite so hot—if he was to try and keep cool—he would get on as well. One might think from his style of writing that no one had right to hold any opinion differing from his. I hare always considered him a very poor reasoner, and the present letter confirm* me in that opinion. Why did he not answer my arguments instead of calling my letter ridicule P Others could judge on that as well as he. When it is admitted that every healthy person throws off the whole body every seven years, if that is not death, then when the spirit tnrows off the whole body that is not death. And the great bulk of Christians believe in a continuation of life, that the soul does not die at what is called death. On this we are agreed: it is an impossu bility for that body that is pat into the grave to rise again, but the spiritual body that St. Paul speaks about never dies,and, cannot be put into the grave. . I make a great difference between what I know and what I believe. I used to believe that men lived on after the change called death, but now I know it to be a positive fact. Mr Wood says that if I do not give up spiritualism I shall not have eternal life. That is equal to saying, " He that believeth me shall be saved, but he that does not shall be damned." Poor man, all that I can do is to pity him in his blind ignorance.—l am, &c, J. Hobk.
