yet
That God is throned in universal man,
The greater mind of pure intelligence,
Unlimited by states, moods, periods, creeds,
Self-adequate, self-balanced in his love,
And needing nothing and conferring all,
And asking nothing and receiving all,
Akin by love to every loving heart,
By nobleness to every noble mind,
By truth to all who look through natural forms,
And feel the throbbing arteries of law
In every pulse of nature and of man."

The peculiar doctrine of the Spiritualists seems to be the belief in
Spiritual intercourse, and in mediums; as _The Spiritual Magazine_ tells
us "the only media we know accessible to the public are Mrs. Marshal and
her niece, of 22, Red Lion-street, Holborn," we need not give ourselves
much trouble about them. Concerning intercourse with departed spirits,
an American Judge writes, "The first thing demonstrated to us is that we
can commune with the spirits of the departed; that such communion is
through the instrumentality of persons yet living; that the fact of
mediumship is the result of physical organization; that the kind of
communion is affected by moral causes, and that the power, like our other
faculties, is possessed in different degrees, and is capable of
improvement by cultivation," and from this doctrine the believers gather
comfortable assurances. The Judge adds, "These things being established,
by means which show a settled purpose and an intelligent design, they
demonstrate man's immortality, and that in the simplest way, by appeals
alike to his reason, to his affections, and to his senses. They thus
show that they whom we once knew as living on earth do yet live, after
having passed the gates of death, and leave in our minds the irresistible
conclusion, that if they thus live we shall. This task Spiritualism has
already performed on its thousands and its tens of thousands--more,
indeed, in the last ten years than by all the pulpits in the land--and
still the work goes bravely on. God speed it; for it is doing what man's
unaided reason has for ages tried in vain to do, and what, in this age of
infidelity, seemed impossible to accomplish. Thus, too, is confirmed to
us the Christian religion, which so many have questioned or denied. Not,
indeed, that which sectarianism gives us, nor that which descends to us
from the dark ages, corrupted by selfishness or distorted by ignorance,
but that which was proclaimed through the s
