for anyone, and touch better and more strengthening for both body and soul than a London L ord M ayor’s feast w hich costs in this civilised and Christian (?) country some £20,000, I believe, if not more. B ut supposing, as is lifebly to be true, as he was a rem ark able mediumistic ascetic, tha t his food was wonder fully little, this is an instance o fth eH B H or the higher nature controlling the lower bodily nature.

His body was large, strong and healthy, and he was remarkable for being able to do much more work than those who ate more.

W hen th irty years old he married Dorothea W issling by whom he had ten H n K e n , 5 sons and 5; daughters! H is usual habit, even after marriage, was to get up a t m idnight, and walk, a t all seasons, to B e * Q h u rc h a t Kerns, an hour’s distance, in to pray. D uringthis part of his life he did not neglect his earthly duties for religious ascetic practices, but semre<Un seyeral wars as a soldier, or militia man.

However, a time came when the sp iritg(of w hatever kind may have been) was tgjftg strong for^mm,, and forced him to abandon all secular^dife^*and become an Anchoret, living alone in a desert place, and devoting him self altogether to the inner m ystical, ascetic life. B u t to his credit he did not carry this out until f f lh a d procured, w ith g reat difficulty* and after g reat delay, the consent o f his')wife and family, who were a t th a t tim e well able to support;themselves.

In this, he unconsciously followed the practice of the Hindu ascetics, who generally d id no t fly from their* secular duties as househo lde^ jjM l^ the approagl^ a j^ l jO age, when those duties m igh t be supposed tpfbe ended,

■and the soul ju s tly allowed to carry out in its own way its desires and aspirations for the h igher spiritual inner life.

W e now come to the alledged fact in his a fte r life, which is im portant to our present ^ fc u iry -^ th e power of th e soul over th e body ip reference to food. K is positively asserted by .tradition, th a t for the lastjtw eiityv years of his life b ra k ^ e r took any foocbor drink w iH [ ever, except w hat he took when receiving R ew rite of the holy sacram en t; th a t would be a very m in iH q u a n - ti ty o f flour made into a wafer, and w ithout w inejR^oraM ing to the Catholic r i tfc . T here is a considerable am ount of evidence of th e tru th of this story, although, taken altogether, the evidence is scarcely sufficient, as it seems to me a t least, to satisfy the critical m ind ac­customed to w eigh evidence.

H e was however w atch ed /fo r a m onth by certain persons appointed by the JM u rcb auth&ri™ErloR g^3 the tru th of the story, and they reported ' in favour of its tru th . These questions fh ihS hi nevertKeless-^- W ere these persons deceivedj)ip| w ere‘'they* them selves honest l§<b I t does not appear th a t it was a sufficiently careful enquiry, subject t f f stric t te s t conditions.

On one occasion he was ordered by the Bishop o f Constance to eat a morsel of bread obeyed, b u t ex­perienced great difficulty and suffered m uch in swallow­in g it. T he same effect was produced on M iss Fancher, in A m erica, w hen she tried to take food, and this rem arkable case gives a certain air o f pp§M M itjO° ^he whole story. H is own affirmation of the fact, a lsd o sof* g rea t im portance, for he undoubtedly was in a ll other respects a m ost estim able man, and one whose whole life renders his habitually p ractising and affirming a lie very unlikely. However, i f i t be a fact, as some alledge, th a t some m edium istic powers seem often united w ith a love o f trickery, and to be connected w ith bad health of both body and mind, who can te ll th a t he also, being undoubtedly a strong medium, m ay have been con­sciously or perhaps unconsciously led in to exaggeration : th e good of th e Rom an C hurch was held to ju s tify alm ost any means. One fac t w ould ra th e r lead to the conclusion th a t there was some trickery or exaggeration is th a t there was a report in th e country th a t he ate ro o ts ; and as he lived m a desert place beside a fo re jt?

he m ight easily have . 'procured certain roots and ^ -fru its.

Archduke Sigmond of Austria, sent his physician Dr. Burkard Yon Hornek, to investigate the facts an] to watch him,iWpiCh^h,e said he did for 4 or 5 days, amj reported all to be true.

The cdfebrated Johann i M e r , the great Historian! and a Protestant, admits iffinis great work, the Historj of Switzerland, this strange fact to be sufficientlj proven.

forgotten led to questioning by Mother, when we had to give an account of ourselves, and it was only a t tha t moment we realised that we had done ought amiss. Then for the first and the last tim e the reproachful epithet “ truan t r could be applied to u s ; i t was not till after many qualms of conscience tha t the m atter could be dismissed from the mind. A meritorious and enjoyable act was suddenly transformed into a disgraceful crime.

Now, is not this sort of th ing taking place continually in the course of our lives ? The act of visiting A untie, and many other acts, are good in themselves, bu t w hen associated w ith other circumstances they may become suddenly and mysteriously bad. In these relations we may recognise the continuous antagonism th a t rages between the senses and the spirit, or w hat are called the Relative and the A bsolute^-the hum an and the Divine. .

In such a work as tha t of Spiritualism — in all departm ents— these distinctions m ust be borne, in m ind continually. W e are, indeed? mere' children in spiritual knowledge', w ith stupendous lessons before us, of w hich we have not y e t begun to m aster even the m erest rudim ents. E very step we take is likely to be one of error, in whole or in part, especially w hen iH s^one tha t elates us w ith exu ltan t pleasure, and calls forth th rilling congratulations from the domain o f the senses and of passion* W e are more likely to be m aking progress in the rig h t direction when-r the p a th is somewhat rough, and the way is barred by, apparently, insurm ountable obs­tructions. There is 'no royal road to*f&pfritual advantages, any more than there is to riches of learning. U nceasing painstaking effort, not unm ixed w ith reverses and disappointm ent, 9 ® th e only means of genuine success in any field of action, sp iritual or m aterial. The tru e path m ust in all cases be taken, otherwise failure and disaster, by w hich we are forced jto revise our methods and s ta rt afresh again, are t th ingsunder the circumstances th a t could h a p p e n ^ # j us. - v -/ The present supposed prostrated condition of* th e Spiritual M ovement is the very best th ing th a t could have taken place—better far th an a “ roaring trade ” in lectures, seances and sub­scriptions on th e old basis. The em pty shell o f professionalism, and so called organisation, w ith th e ir appropriate husk of vagabondism, have been cast down and trodden under foot, as is the fate o f all ru b b ish ; b u t the kernel, Spiritualism, has no t suffered in th e least, nor can i t suffer, for i t is God’s own ho ly T ru th ! No one th a t ever had a spark of tru e Spiritualism in him , has, a t th is p resen t mom ent, the slightest dim inution of th a t spark because o f w hat has taken place of an objectionable character in connection w ith th is C ause; those th a t belonged to the shell and husk sphere have been cast ou t w ith them — th a t is all.

Spiritualism , since I knew any th ing of it J r never grew so m uch in th e same space of tim e as i t has done during th e last tw elve m onths, but the accessions have no t been gained th rough the wonted Spiritualistic agencies. W hen m en and

these earnest workers is inestimable,.7 AfjT the same time it should be rem ar^ l thaj! no ^ie g f them is equally applicable in all cases,; "What is one’s food is another’s poison, in magnetism as in other things.

A consulting physician is wanted to come be­tween Healers and their subjects, and prescribe the Healer best adapted to the patient’s condition. Sometimes a Healer will continue to treat a Jmk person and all the while the sufferer is becoming worse^ This is because the magnetism of^the Healer, though very valuable in numerous ins­tances, was not suitable in that.ptutiqular case>j Most Healers are well able to judge of this fitness,vjj but there is an indisposition on the part of pro­fessional people to turn away business/ and add to the emoluments and fame of a jealous r iv a l; thus the Healing Power is sometimes brought into discredit, and the bad effect oTnsueh mal­practice leads to the conviction in many minds that the alleged benefits of magnetism are q lite fictitious. On the other hand we frequently meet with instencteSof a Healertsending anappli- cant to another magnetiser, constitutionally better* able to benefit the caseT , >; The numbni^of private Healers in London and elsewhere is countless.

7 SHBITDALISM AT WEST AUCKLAND.Mb . E. Brunsicill’s Farewell Seances.

' To the Editor.—Dear Sir,—I.h av e very much pleasure in soliciting a portion of your space to place on record the wonder­ful results obtained through the mediumship of pur Respected friend, Mr. Brunskill of West Auckland.

On Saturday eveninB the ‘10th inst.^aM rele was composed of 18 sitters a t the house of Mr. Ggldsborough,Bpring G Bfder^s

/when after the usual devotibnal exercises, two m a te r i^ R d forms appeared while the medium wastin' his norm al condition. Singular to relate, just a t this juncture! a rem arkable circumife stance occurred.

Presently a form appeared&at the curtains, which I recognised as th e ^ ^ fld a i^ ^ ^ H p n y dear mother, who pjassed aw aVabo^M erht years ago. Approaching^ oneutf her brothers who twarpresent^ sB |em hraqpd him, atteii1- which she extended her hand and clasped mine, in a firm, sub­stantial grasp. While in earth life of her fingers was crooked, and on this Bccasion 1 felt the*han<Bin' assumed* deformity ^similar to thatBposscsA l -w hileEhe anhabitidB he m ortal form. She then withdrew my littB , niece 3om *the sifters, and having placed her by my side enveloped us both in her long flowing whiteuobes& Embracing me^-a^d^pulling my beard to demonstrate l^er ,tangituUtw she vW|yed h m a B ^ an<dw retired. Subsequently, the medium’s , two male guides m atl-S xialised, and displayed their separate individual® in varjous* ways, the Scptohman ponyersing with us in his na tS e vernqcq- la r for a considerable time.

The ceremony of baptising a child was next performed byij| the manifesting spirit, and after an earnest and, appropi^^p exhortation . jrom the physically g a rb e d , Intelligence, the meeting concluded in the usiSHway.

On the Sunday following, the w eather being unpropitious for the camp meeting as announced, two m eetings were held a t the housp of Mr Jiupton, when interesting aqSpnstruotive addresses were delivered by Messrs. Hare, De Main, Oyston, Punn^ and Scott. g

At the close of the evening meeting, Mr, .^^^^PB>osed a v<5tp£of thanks to Mr. Brunskill, who is < m a A mericaji e n u m e f« n g in an able m anner tire bC T^t^nt* f^ f l m . arising from the marvellous maftiS^&tftJns ^PrefiuSeu througflBTfiM mefiiumship,' afrdB^:pre|®iiig a itf&jjfedllt *j|ugt>e -ttMttfflis future1 m ight b e j p t ^ ^ a s o d i by sranfes m ^ rm l ly andM^^^mV.

—;— ,-------Dr. Donald Kennedy, of the Highlands, Roxbury, Boston,

U.S.A., sailed in the Cunard Line Steamer,144 Bothnia,” on Sept. 14th. All^his friends will be glad to see him, as he is a most generous upholder of the Cause of Spiritualism in this Country, and in America.

NOTES AND COMMENTS J

. v We welcome Mrs. Hardinge-Britten again to the platform of Spiritualism in this country. We are glad to see that she is already thronged with engagements. Those who set her to work are wise. We wish them God speed in their laudable effort.

There is a great deal of matter awaiting insertion. Miss Leigh Hunt’s articles still accumulate, and we have received letters respecting Mr. Younger, and other Healers, which must stand over t i l next week; also articles on the 44 Adeptship of Jesus Christ.^l

The Healers in London presents a variety of giftsw h ic llif added together, would make a most elraordinary combination of spiritual power. Nothing so much indicates the progress of oulMovement as the increase in the number of Healers. We remember M l Shorter at a public* meeting, nearly a dofbn yearslgo , calling attention to the value of the h eaftg power, and recommending^ its cultivation. Then it was difficult to find any Healers, now they exist in great abundanc^H

It is with feelings of regremhat we hear of so many earnest Spiritualists leaving the country. Now, M il George Hart, North Season, Northumberland, writes to jay , j 4 good-bye.” F r i e n d s L h w e hjyge wo®5d#>'v£jth tljesp last ten years, are now sSti^rec^fill ovS the world. We^ara, demfiked at.,any time wbeji we he^r from these old and true Bfflpnds. Many of tM m -^re still readers of the Medium. We shall be glad to receive even a post card from those whiSnreWB away, and in return they will have some of oim printed master.

Mfc, W. T. Brpiam ,' 392, Stretford Road, Manchester, will be glad to receive paraels, of b^E numbers q l the Medium, ' carriage paid, which our readers may have on hand. He requires them immediately, to aid in advertising Mrs. Emma Hardinge-Britten’s forthcoming lltu rcs.

There is a great deal of vain talk about the “ Occult,” and little desire*to become acquainted with facts. Read the relort from Melbourne, and that oti-Mr. Bru^gkill’s seance, with the philosophical speculations of Mr. Smart^and astHinding facts and stheir scientific importance will b lo m e manifest to the discerning reader. ;

From a letter dated Sept. 8th, received from Miss Lottie Fowler, we may expect her in London befor e^^H week closes. Already a number of sitters have expiHH their desire to pay her a visit.—At the moment of going to press, Miss Fowler has arrived safe and well. She is residing at the old address, 2, Vernon Place, Bloomsbury Square, W.O., hours

\ —from 11 a.m., till 8 p.m. . _

Mr. Towns will give a seance this evening (Friday), at 15, Southampton Row, W.C. Time, 8 o’clock. •

We learn that Miss Chandos Leigh Hunt has accepted an invitation to lecture at Goswell Hall on Sunday evening week.

Mr. Walter Howell will give a seance at Que|Sc?Hall, 25,' Great Quebec Street, Marylebone Road, this evening (Friday at 8 o’clock.

Mr. Walter Howell leaves London on Thursday next for the Yorkshire District,4* where he has a series of fourteen lectures to deliver. Mr. Howell will probably call at Peter­borough on his way North. -

. Mr. Larrardj late of Leicester, has come to reside in London. He is a very capable worker, and took great in­terest in the spiritual meetings. His loss will be tint by the Leicester friends, who have, however! some good men left.

We have had a visit from a lady and gentleman from Bheffield, ,wholave been to Louden on'a short trip. 2 2 welfe very glad to experience*1 sumMSHrind feeling^pkn- representa­tives of the Cause in Sheffield.

The Manchester44Homo, Circles” have held a conference at Mr. Thompson’s,*Salford, as announce^ in these columns, and it is hoped the new arrangements suggested will be use­ful in the future working of these circles.

Mr. T. M. Brown is so far recovered, tli^t he intends to attempt a little work next week.il He will spend a week or two iim.the Nojrth before resuming his work in the South. Address all letters to Mr. T. M. Brown, Howden-le-Wear, R.S.O.j,- Durham.

the interest of readers and of the subject, to expose the folly and the vanity of some of these eager, conceited peo­ple, who have sat in judgment upon matters upon which they are not qualified to pronounce opinion. Nature, ad­ducing against them their own writing as witness, has not accorded this gift to them.

Old-fashioned magic, by which we mean real magic, has gone long ago. It was a lost case with it when Addison began to write his Spectator. The man was far too sensible. Was that tranquil, philosophical mind to be disturbed by magic ? Certainly not- Sentimental common-sense, con|| siderable elegance, combined with an expatiating feeble hum­our was his line. Miracle has gone. Consequently the true springs of the Christian Religion—which is miracle all over, or nothing—have gone with it. It is a pity on many ac­counts. For have we gained in its dismissal-?., We think not. The “ Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge,” the “ Penny Magazine,” the “ Saturday Magazine,” that “ Schoolmaster ” who has always been V abroad.” and has never yet been “ at home,” the Chief Reviews in their brag­ging, audacious ways,.Church Charges in their elaborate, c.ut-and-dry naturalness, the talkativeness of innumerable busy Church defenders, the smoothing-out of the wrinkles in the ploughed heart of the people by the comfortable warm flat iron of those classes “putun authority” over us in the “ Church,’V he well-meant efforts to “ coddle ” the National Church, lastly the Newmapers, bringing their in­cessant bolsters and props to the Church Anglican—to keep all quiet—have driven off the supernatural in the making of everything so supremely human. Now everything is. natural,., Man is so very natural. Nature is so very natur- al|a Everythingua so r te a & y ^^ A We only think strange thoughts when we are m not rjght.” We .Qpl?v-‘<w *B'JfaiPge things when we aret unwejl, or when the mind begins to os­cillate. Hence. werenea<Bthat^Bthe.beIief in miraekj is vanished, that the idea of magic in this age has become an impossible* thing, that Christianity, in its true senses^hgs ceased to be a thing of any othBv life than of a false, forced life, that this book will cause wonderB But wonder of what sort ? You cannot take half-measures "with such a produc­tion. It is either true,;or it is not true. No one will for a moment'! doubt that it is not true in the impressions of Mr. A. P. Sinnetfe* Bufc,ilm public will doubt whether he be,not himself deceived. And this, because he relates grave­ly some of the most stupendous impossibilities—as they ap­pear.^

We have said of this book that it will make people un­comfortable. We further add the assertion now, thaBit will make everybody very uncomfortable. But this is always a good sign in a book. It indicates power, and power just in­proportion to the sti^Hnd disturbance of minds which we experience when we read'-the book. We s h ^ | think the higher of everyBeader’s capacity when we find that-such is the case in regard of this book-^which is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary books which we haveBsver read. The vast majority of readers, who from the influences of the world are very incapable, will first be enforced into at­tention in a thrill of wonder; and then they will laugh, for the things which they aBfirst encounter contradict possifl bi|£ty, and although many things are difficult ‘to explain,— still possibility is the measure of everything^ The world of ordinaryilH8r noB the life of the B iffipianL*Hwhts.fl Readers who read in this spinjt of incredulity, which how fl ever they cannot help—belief is always proportioned to the calibre of the m eans of belief—will pityBhe author, and say with the Athenceum that it is a ^disappointing book/W though not for the^same silly reasons. The minofjty will read carefully over every page, will set to work to judge of the whole book, and admire the whole volume and its author immensely.

It is a tremendous book 4 in its impojt, in*jts suggestion to those who can understand it, and those few must bq the gifted,,, As for the reviewers in their various degrees and#,crafts,” they will very cun­ningly and veryxlumsily, jn preponderating insta^^axpt- up, or take nOuuffig of the volume. These* sublime- editor- iaboccupants of cane-back chairs, wooden arm-chairs, or velvet-covered magisterial arm-chairs perhaps with a crown a-top, if they do not yawn, are safe to get angry with the “Ocoy&r W orld.m in regard to its important contents, the ‘‘Occult W orld Bought to be for them, for their claims to learning and enlightenment are overpowering; but yet it is far from being a book for them.

Mr. A. P. Sinnett’s book is intensely interesting to all persons who can fnlnk. It is brightly, lucidly, logically written—cool -headed, perfectly dispassionat e. It has start­led alS mentally cultivated India; dense and stupid as its reception has been in its author’s own country oft England. Perhaps tc is becafee E^land baslbeen so exceedingly bot­hered and hazed; wi$h ^Spiritualism—vulgar Spighualism, nrepostBiius SpiSitualishC:—until the very term ism and ordinary pragmatical medrams—havebecome annoyance. Now, on the contrary5 tSj! all these in­differently educated pretenders—who make-up in noise and pretension what they are deficient in, in reason—Mr. A. P. Sinnett is always as agreeable as he is forcible. This is the work of a scholar, a gentlemen, and of a man of a large and elevated mind, evidfltly capable and qualified*! He is fitted, from much evidence afforded in hia book, for the exercise of public dutfls of a high and important character. We should consider publiBlndia benefitted in hi feresence, and ijiis connection with state functions, advantageous in every way both tg India and to England ft Aj B-Iiidia must have been much struck with this book. We ourseh' ves have perused every line of it with pleasure, .and have weighed its statements, and considered its evident with careful and conscientious deliberation. We aver that the “ O ccult World ” is a great book, and warn every reasonable person, not quite given-over to prejudice, againslf the eta mour which will be made against it, and the jeering tone in which it will be treated. Who are, the people who sit so superior to these ultra-natural subjects ? Mostly zanies— wind-bags—imitators. We warn all the judicious against the ignorant and conceited attacks which have been made on all sides by an unworthy and envious pressWrBing to the order of the c|ay, and to please certain cliques which sit-upon and iBifle all honest opinion. The modern PresO ias grown so tumid and* artificial that it’is fast ruiningjiyen the pub- lidrcapacity to judgp of wholesome-p,nd genpine j iucism. Perhaps farther? it has so seriously imperilled, even for rescue by gifted and magnanimous minds, thermal! remain­der of capacities, as Mr..Ruskin might tall them, of the studying classes still existent and struggling amidst the confusions of a shallow, log-headed, and grosslygelfish age.

*—“ Pleased w ith ra ttle s and tickled- with straws,”— w hether political ra ttles , scientific ydttles, or literary or; artistic ra ttles or jingles, and this inf a ll the grades of society, high and low.

The “Occult World,’’regarded from any point of view is equal to its object—which is certainly the most difficult one. Indeed it may be^called the most rem arkable book—not simply from its newness, bu t from the m anner in which its ncoyness-js.put— which has appeared since Mr. Spicer produced his SSights and Sounds, the Mystery of tffia Dayj^ And why d6&|Mr nett’s “Occult World” stand so alone? L et every person accus­tomed to exercise their common-sense apart from the ideas of others read it. L e t them not only read it, but study it. For why ? For these reasons which may be pronounced signifi­cant and cogent enough by all persons who are not of that powerless sort of compliance of brain which will admit the dicta of pretenBous journals as so much unquestionable law. God knows th a t a g rea t deal of law !—far from ftgjng,justice—■ is no t’to be believed1. And nearly a ll the ii^KrwHRicisms of the tim e may *Be pronounced—to use the strong, bu? the true word—humbug—from the reason th a t it is written all round and round the subject w ithout touching it. In regard to Mr, A. P . Sjnnett’s book, two reviews which we have encountered,

>(theE Athenaeum,” and the Sj Saturday Review,”) and which, owing to the extraordinary superstition—utterly mistak­en—which prevails as to the ir authority, m ight be regarded as intim ating consequence and im plying knowledge and good criticism—these are-very bad—jokingly bad, superficially bad, as if the whole sub ject was wondqffiiillv under the editors and only condescended to by them . These publications (sjjll as, in their shallowness, they consider the public interest) done their very best dffiruin the “ Ocpult Worjd and ift^impair any chance of its success. A ll th |s is of c ^ r s e q q p ^ t |m 'ilyT^|gay8 studying the interests of jbe g re a t’reading public, anqfwatch- ing w ith (grandm otherly) care its pabulum ,. The great com­fortable public sbaHJi&ve its quiet nights-—

“ Such things uannof be; nor shall they overcome us,Nor shall we feel special wonder.”

In the examination of this serious book, the eyeglass of lite­rary foppery has been used, and the double-glasses, dull, pur­blind, owlish, and the academically (of course) critical specta*
