Hardinge Britten says :— According to Mrs Hardinge Britten there are Spiritualists and Spiritualists : antllif what she is reported to have told her audience at the Opera House on Sunday night is correcet, all are not the harmless and unobjectionable students of the supernatural that they pretend to be. " Ono class," she said, "made use of the iicav creed to relieve them from all restraint in order to iudulge in licentiousness." This is a very portention statement to be made by a lady Avho is reported to be ono of the highpriestesses of the cult, and to be in tho secret of their inner life and habits. As long as the spirit* are invoked to give entertainment to the family circle by bringiug messages from the other Avorld. there is nothing- more to be said against ifc than there is to be said ag-ainst any other form of parlor magic. But when we hear that the dar'c seance is prevaded by the morality of the Eleusinian mysteries it is time to prick up our ears aud ask that some more light should be thrown upon tiro matter. The planchetta is bacomc such a popular article of household furniture that it might do in incalculable mischief if ifc AA r cre made an instrument for the purpose such as Mrs Britten hints at. We have nothing to do Avith the doctrines or practices of Spiritualism except for tho philosophical curiosity that belongs to them as mental phenomeua but when licentiousness is associated Avith them it is clear that they become au obioct' of police-interest to society, Every' Spiritualist may not answer to Mrs Britten's description, but if her classfication of them is correct, then Spivtualisin is iu danger o degenerating- into a scortatoiy religion like free-loveism, and the respectable members of the sect outfit t-r take steps to get rid of the infections elemeuMi-om their midst as soon^s *EIOR SALE, suitable for working- men. £- a few lots of 5, 10, or 20 Acres, Very easy terms. • „ * H X^T,QKWSR X
