   1      The decaying flower, the blighted bud, the gnarled oak,
     the ferocious beast,--like the discords of disease, sin,
   3  and death,--are unnatural. They are the fal-

    Unnatural
    deflections

     sities of sense, the changing deflections of mor-
     tal mind; they are not the eternal realities of Mind.
   6      How unreasonable is the belief that we are wearing
     out life and hastening to death, and that at the same
     time we are communing with immortality!

    Absurd
    oracles

   9  If the departed are in rapport with mor-
     tality, or matter, they are not spiritual, but must still
     be mortal, sinning, suffering, and dying. Then why
  12  look to them--even were communication possible--for
     proofs of immortality, and accept them as oracles? Com-
     munications gathered from ignorance are pernicious in
  15  tendency.
         Spiritualism with its material accompaniments would
     destroy the supremacy of Spirit. If Spirit pervades all
  18  space, it needs no material method for the transmission
     of messages. Spirit needs no wires nor electricity in order
     to be omnipresent.
  21      Spirit is not materially tangible. How then can it
     communicate with man through electric, material effects?
     How can the majesty and omnipotence of

    Spirit
    intangible

  24  Spirit be lost? God is not in the medley
     where matter cares for matter, where spiritism makes
     many gods, and hypnotism and electricity are claimed
  27  to be the agents of God's government.
         [[[Spirit blesses man, but man cannot "tell whence
     it cometh." By it the sick are healed, the sorrowing are
  30  comforted, and the sinning are reformed. These are the
     effects of one universal God, the invisible good dwelling
     in eternal Science.]]]
