SPIRITUALISM.

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [Private Circles,] shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Pet. ii, 1.

"When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them." 1 Thess. v, 3.

"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit," &c. Chap. xviii, 2.

"Whose [Christ's] coming is after [immediately following] the working of satan with all power, and signs and lying wonders." 2 Thess. ii, 9.

"And shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt. xxiv, 24.

Facts for Dr. Dods and Professor Faraday.

The Society for the diffusion of Spiritual Knowledge are issuing a weekly in pursuance of their object, called the Christian Spiritualist. From it we take the following:—

"Again, we have had rapped out: 'lay fifty pieces of paper in a locked cupboard, and we will write upon them.' In less than half an hour there was a communication of at least ten lines on each piece, and each communication perfectly characteristic of the individual professing to communicate.

We have the remains of a table which was broken all to pieces by a Spirit professing to be Samson of old—broken all in small pieces and not one person was near it. The table being near the wall, commenced moving as we came into the room to form a circle, and moved until I came to about the middle, when the Spirit commenced breaking it, and the floor when he got through, was a perfect sight to behold, all covered with splinters. The whole company, (some ten or fifteen, all sceptics except myself,) were perfectly convinced."

Were these men all "psycologized," Doctor? Are the splinters, still kept, permanent phantoms engendered in the "back brain?"

Whoever this Spirit is that assumes so strong a name, his deeds, we hope will testify that he has some right to it, either natural or acquired; and that he will keep on until he carries away the "brazen gates" of the Gaza, in which materialistic superstition has entrenched itself.

A correspondent of the Christian Spiritualist writing from Washington, D. C., says:—It is gratifying to witness the steady and onward course of Spiritualism, and the intense anxiety of many persons to become acquainted with facts and witness the phenomena. In our city we have much greater interest awakened, than is generally known; many persons in high places are very much interested in the subject, but are afraid to have it understood that they should be guilty of such an enormity, which might be productive of a decree to hurry them to the Insane Asylum. After a while these fooleries will give way to the force of truth, and will be auxiliaries to the cause, which, at present, are like the viscus on the body politic. We thank God that the promise is even as it is. When we look back through the sins of years, since the introduction of this subject by Baron Swedenborg, and see its slow progress, we can hardly look without astonishment on the rapid and unprecedented advancement it has made in a short five years. Increasing in the same ratio, what may we expect in the next ten?

CARRIED BY AN INVISIBLE POWER.—P. B. Randolph stated, at the Conference of July 25th, that a gentleman of his acquaintance recently went into his parlor with a candle in his hand, intending to get for it a candlestick that was upon the parlor mantle-shelf. He distinctly saw the candlestick upon the shelf as he went toward it, but before he got to it some one in the other room spoke to him, and he went back to answer the person who had spoken. As he re-entered the parlor the candlestick which he had before distinctly seen was gone, and at that instant he heard it fall upon a trunk about thirty feet distant from the mantlepiece where it had before stood. There was no visible person any where near who could have moved it, and the only conclusion that seemed admissible was that it must have been moved by Spirit-agency.

A writer to the Telegraph, says:—During a recent sitting at a private circle in your city, consisting of four persons besides myself, the following demonstrations occurred. In about five minutes after the circle was formed, I began to feel distinct touches from some object resembling a human hand; these touches were first felt on the knee, then on the arm, and at last on the forehead. It was sufficiently light in the room to enable me to discern the movements of those who composed the circle, and I know as positively as I know that I am penning you this article, that I was touched by no mortal hand in the room.

After I had felt a hand laid on my forehead five or six times, I suddenly reached forth to see if I could clutch it. I caught hold of an object resembling the wrist of a person. As soon as I had fairly clasped it, I was drawn from my chair across the room, for eight or ten feet. Meanwhile I was holding on with all my strength, and the object which I held on to was making much effort apparently, by wringing or twisting the arm and hand, to release itself from my persistent grasp. When it touched my forehead, I could distinctly feel the fingers, and even the very nails upon them. The hand felt to be smoother and far less moist than the human hand; in fact, no Parian marble could be polished to such perfect smoothness.

I also held a closed fan up as high as I could reach, and it was taken from me, though no person was within several feet of me at the time, and I was fanned for nearly a minute, and so were the others in the circle, each in turn. I requested the invisible intelligence to stop the ticking of a clock which stood on the mantle-shelf in the room. It was an iron clock, with enameled front, and it at once commenced ticking as rapidly again as it did ordinarily; it then commenced ticking slower and slower, till it almost entirely stopped. My shoe was taken off my right foot and thrown across the room, and the bottom of my foot was tickled excessively. My porte-monnaie was taken from my pocket, the bank-notes removed from it, and laid around on the heads of the members of the circle. They were soon replaced from whence they were taken, and the porte-monnaie returned to me. Indeed, it was slipped back into the pocket of my pants, opposite to the one out of which it was at first removed, it being the farthest off from those who were sitting with me in the circle. It was written out, without even the medium touching the pencil, "Wealth does not make the man:" "The mind is the true standard of the man"—which seemed as reflections strikingly apposite to the demonstrations just given.

I could fill many pages with similar facts which have occurred during my investigations, and some of them, far more remarkable than these, because perhaps, more personal in their bearing.

OBITUARY.

By L. M. Stephenson

IN behalf of the deceased I would announce through the Review, the death of our beloved Sister, Charlotte Caroline Turner, who died of cholera at Madison, Wis., July 25th. The enemy overtook her when separated from her husband and home, and she fell beneath his fatal blow.

In 1842, sister T. united with the Baptist Church, and the following Spring she heard the proclamation of the first angel, which she gladly received, and was a firm believer in the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, until the Spring of 1851, when she saw that she was a transgressor of the fourth commandment. She was awakened to the danger of her situation by the voice of the third angel. Rev. xiv, 9-13. She received the message and embraced the present truth, and has since been striving to keep all the commandments, that she might have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city."

She left an afflicted husband and son, and a large circle of relatives and friends, who deeply feel their loss. But we trust they mourn not as those without hope. We would offer for their consolation the words of Paul, 1 Thess. iv, 13-18. How sweet the thought that our friends are asleep in Jesus, and that their sleep is blessed, verily. It seems they are taken from the evil to come. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

How blest the state of all the righteous dead, Who holy lives of purity have led: From henceforth, saith the Spirit, yea, they rest From all their works, and are divinely blest. No more the Tempter's wiles, their feet shall snare; But sweetly sleeping, rest from all their care; Calmly they wait the trumpet's solemn sound, Which wakes the sleeping saints, beneath the ground. Now bursts the fetters of the cheerless tomb, Awake to bright, to full, immortal bloom. Oh cruel grave! thy boasted victory bring, And thou, O, tyrant death, where is thy sting!

L. M. STEPHENSON.

DEXTER DANIELS

By Dexter Daniels

From Bro. Daniels.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—How plain it is to every discerning mind that the holy law of God is the seal of the living God, mentioned in Rev. vii, 2. Before the first-born in Egypt were slain, God's children had a mark upon their door-posts for a sign that the destroying angel might not come into their houses to destroy them. The blood was sprinkled upon their door-posts. The destroyer did not come to that house, but passed by it.

This was their mark or sign. Those that had the mark were safe. Is not God's holy law the same to us as the passover was to them? I think it is. God is about to smite the land of Egypt with the seven last plagues; and before the four angels cease their holding, God's children must have a mark upon their door-posts, that no plague come nigh their dwelling; for God says a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling; [Ps. xci, 7-10;] for his truth shall be thy shield and buckler; [verse 4;] and God's law is truth. Ps. cxix, 142. The angels are to hold the four winds until God's children are sealed with the seal of the living God in their foreheads. God's holy law is this seal. Isa. viii, 16, says, Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. Then we find in Deut. v and vi, that Moses, in giving his charge unto Israel before he died, puts them in mind of the ten commandments which God gave to them in Horeb, and he commands them to observe to do them, and not to turn to the right or to the left. Chap. vi. Now these are the commandments and statutes and the judgments which the Lord your God commanded, to teach you that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it. That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I commanded thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life, and that thy days may be prolonged. Verse 4. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Verse 5. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Verse 6-9. And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thy heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes; [then it must be in their foreheads; so we see that the ten commandments are a sign in the forehead and in the hand—mark in the forehead or in the hand—third angel's message. Rev. xiv, 9;] and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and upon thy gates.

The day of slaughter is at hand, when old and young are to be slain; [Eze. ix;] and the law of ten commandments is to be our shield and buckler, and frontlets between our eyes, that the slaughtering men may pass over us. O I do rejoice in the holy law of God; it has done a great work for me.

Dear brethren and sisters, let nothing move you from the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Extracts of Letters.

By Editor

BRO. M. L. Dean writes from Ulysses Pa. Aug. 1st 1854:—"The brethren here are all interested in reading the paper. The cause is prospering in this region. There seems to be a large field here ready for the harvest. Bro. Ingraham is doing what he can, but cannot supply the wants of the people."

Bro. Luman Carpenter writes from Oswego, Aug. 3d 1854:—"I feel that the paper is a welcome messenger. It is cheering to hear from the brethren and sisters from all parts of the field. May the Lord speed the paper, and the messengers; for the harvest is fully ripe. I feel that union in the work of the Lord must prevail. Truth is strong and mighty. The Saviour says, Thy word is truth. The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus is the word by which God is purifying to himself a peculiar people. My prayer is, that I may receive benefit from its teachings, that I may be thoroughly furnished unto all good works. I am trying to do my whole duty. I want to be ready for the coming of the Lord, and his kingdom. I want a place there. Though I am unworthy and unprofitable, I hope through the merits of the Lamb of God to overcome, and so be forever with the Lord."

Bro. Samuel Warner writes from Providence, R. I., Aug. 1st 1854:—"Blessed be God's holy name for his mercy to me in giving me to see and feel that it is a duty and pleasure to keep his commandments with the faith of Jesus. I do humbly pray for strength to resist all worldly influences, and to overcome all my sinful propensities and be completely reconciled to my God through Jesus Christ my righteousness, and wait with patience for his coming and kingdom. I tender my love to all brethren and sisters, who love the Lord, keep his commandments, and look with a lively faith for his soon coming; and I humbly trust that I may make one of the number who will be saved by grace and faith in his holy teachings."

FOREIGN NEWS.

THE WAR.

No change had occurred in the state of Eastern affairs, and none was likely to occur until after further consideration by the French and English Governments of the recent conduct of Austria.

The Paris correspondent of The London Morning Chronicle makes the following important communication. He says the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin have communicated to the English and French Governments the impression produced upon them by the answer of the Emperor Nicholas to the summons sent him by Austria to evacuate the Principalities.

The German powers now announce that in their opinion the propositions contained in the Russian answer, if not altogether satisfactory, appear to them calculated to serve as a basis for further negotiation; and they propose that Prague shall be fixed upon as the seat of future conferences. They moreover expressed an opinion that it will not be possible to call upon Russia to evacuate the Principalities, if it be not at the same time clearly understood that the allied powers shall stop their movements in advance. In other words, Austria has fallen back into an alliance with Russia. All the Austrian reserves are to be called out and placed on a war footing.

Accounts from St. Petersburg state that the Czar is determined not to yield; but discontent prevailed in the Capital.

The details received show that the recent victory at Giurgevo was achieved by the Turks unassisted, leaving the whole bank of the Danube from Turun to Oltenitza in their hands. The main body of the Turkish Army is said to be moving towards the mouth of the Danube. None of the Anglo-French troops have yet been in action.

The allies have repaired and occupied the Russian batteries at the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and are employed in removing sunken ships from the channel.

The Russian Danube flotilla must soon fall into the hands of the allies. Free navigation of the Danube is again re-established.

English seamen from the fleet have been sent to man the Turkish boats on the Danube, with the intention of capturing the Russian river flotilla. The Russians have burned Matchia. Gen. Aurep, having been disgraced from rank for want of success, shot himself.

French troops from Adrianople are marching toward Varna. The British are in camp at Devana. The French and English are slowly drawing their lines closer around the Russians. Omer Pasha had reviewed the Anglo-French troops.

SPAIN.—The news is very important. The insurrection was spreading rapidly. By telegraph from Bayonne, the 20th, it is stated that Madrid and its garrison have pronounced against the Queen. The Cabinet is dissolved, and San Luis, the Premier, has fled. Narvaez had offered to form a new Ministry.

Espartero had placed himself at the head of the insurgents, and was marching on Madrid with the center division, while Gen. Zabana advances with a force from the Basque provinces. Victoria, Burges, Valadolid, Grenada, Saragossa, Pampalona, Barcelona, San Sebastian, and several smaller cities, also the Balearic Islands, have declared for the insurgents. Saragossa is expected to join the revolt.

The insurrection hitherto has been mostly military, but the citizens were joining it. The watchwords are: "Viva la Constitution." "Down with the Ministry." "Down with Queen Christiana."

Carlist guerrilla bands have appeared in Catalonia. Rumors were current that Queen Christiana had fled to Bayonne, and that Queen Isabella had left Madrid; also that the Duke of Montpensier had been declared Lieutenant-General of the kingdom; but all these rumors were considered doubtful. Gens. Concha and Gonzales Bravo have arrived in England.

Manuel Concha has escaped from the Canary Islands. Gen. Mazzerabo has fled to France.

The insurgents if successful may offer the throne to Don Pedro of Portugal.

The French Government is said to favor the insurrection. An aide-de-camp of the King of Portugal is understood to have sought an interview with Napoleon to consult him on the subject.

Napoleon replied that he could not enter into the project, but did not say he would interfere to prevent it. It is surmised that Russia is implicated in the insurrection, with a view of distracting the attention of France and England.

GREAT BRITAIN.—In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell stated that the Queen would send in a message on the 24th inst., demanding an extra vote of credit for £3,000,000 sterling for the general purposes of the war.

Advent and Sabbath Tracts Ready for Delivery

By Editor

E. S. SHEFFIELD:—The draft is received. We will send the books in about two weeks, when we shall have Advent and Sabbath Tracts, Nos 1—4, in one book, ready for delivery.

To Correspondents.

By Editor

1. IN writing to this Office, let everything of a business nature be put on a part of the sheet by itself, or on a separate sheet, so as not to be mixed up with other matters.

2. Be careful to write all names of persons and places, plainly and distinctly.

3. In all cases give the name of the Post Office, County and State. When a Town or Village is called by one name, and the Post Office by another, be sure to give the name of the Post Office

4. When the direction of a paper is to be changed, do not forget to mention the Office to which it has been sent.

5 Let everything be stated explicitly, and in as few words as will express the writer's meaning.

6. In writing texts of scripture, be sure to copy from the Bible correctly. It is no small sin to carelessly mangle the Word of God as some do.

If the above directions are complied with, we shall be saved much time and perplexity, and be less liable to mistakes in transacting the business of the Office.
