CAN CHRIST BE SEEN TO-DAY?

ADDRESS IN CONCERT CHAMBER. “Christ demonstrated the nothingness of death,” said Mrs. Phoebe Marie Holmes at the Concert Chamber last night. The lecturer stated that man had a given dominion over his body and over everything which ho surveyed, but he had lost that dominion through the ignorance of Adam. Jesus was the first regenerated man. His position In the New Testament corresponded with that of Adam in the Old Testament, and He had raised three people from the dead. . . ..... She believed that everything which took place In the body’took place just in the mind, and that spiritual deafness was the forerunner of physical deafness. Mrs. Holmes, who quoted copiously from Scripture, in tracing the relationship between Adam in the Old Testament, and Jesus Christ In the New, said the Garden of Eden corresponded to the Kingdom of Heaven in the second portion of the Bible, and that Judas was representative of the tendency of the flesh to rebel against the spirit. .... Mrs. Holmes believed that those who refused to accept Christ would have to go to the moon planet, which, she said, was being prepared for them. The moon, which Is generally. regarded as a dead world, .was like the earth used to be, void, and it is now in preparation to receive those who refused to embrace the doctrines of Christ, who would be reincarnated and given another chance. The earth was Christ’s planet, because He had bought it with his blood. Mrs Holmes also claimed that Christ could be spoken to and seen to-day. She declared that she was God’s and He was hers—He was in her and she in Him. She also showed a photograph of Christ, which she said was taken in America, and pointed out that His garment was fastened upon the opposite shoulder to that in painters’ pictures, .. She declared that at every other town she had visited Christ had been seen with her,- and said that she would not be surprised if He were seen upon the platform with her then. At question time n note was received which stated that there were three persons on the platform with her and asking who they might be. She replied that she did not know their identity.
