SPIRITUAL RESEARCH COMMUNITY

Miss M. Colie delivered an address in Jay’s Rooms on Sunday evening. The address was ‘ The Truth Revealed Through Spiritualism.’ The speaker referred to the groat interest now taken in Spiritualism, both in America, and at Home. To many the aim of Spiritualism was unknown, and many extracts were rend from ‘ The Lyceum Manual.’ The judgment of condemnation, she said, needed no paraphernalia of assize, but was conducted in tho silent recesses of tho soul itself. No judge was there but the voice of spirit communing with itself and reading its own doom; no hell but the flame of remorse that ate into the soul and purged it as by fire. Man made his own future, stamped Lis own character, suffered for his own sins, and must work out his own salvation. Life was a journey, a conflict, a development. The journey was uphill, and the way thorn-beset and difficult. The conflict was unending till victory crowned tho final effort. The development was spiritual from a lower to a higher plane, from the child of earth to the measure of the stature’ of the Christ. True happiness was to be bad only by living up to the highest ideal. The vicious man and tho evildoer who sinned of choice and by preference had no part in it. Victory came after conflict, peace after tribulation, development, after steady growth. These were truths revealed through Spiritualism, Mrs M. Wilson’s solos, ‘He Wipes the Tear From Every Eye’ and ‘Pray, Brethren, Pray,’ wore very much appreciated bv those present.
