Bible, beginning, like the old, with the creation; and this
is the way it starts out, through the mediumship of "Rev." T. L. Harris:--

"1. In the beginning God, the Life in God, the Lord in God, the
Holy Procedure, inhabited the dome, which, burning in magnificence
primeval, and revolving in prismatic and undulatory spiral,
appeared, and was the pavilion of the Spirit: In glory
inexhaustible and inconceivable, in movement spherical, unfolded
in harmonious procedure disclosive.

"2. And God said, Let good be manifest! and good unfolded and
moral-mental germs, ovariums of heavens, descended from the
Procedure. And the dome of disclosive magnificence was heaven, and
the expanded glory beneath was the germ of creation. And the
divine Procedure inbreathed upon the disclosure, and the
disclosure became the universe."

We will inflict no more of this "undulatory spiral" nonsense on the
reader. He now has both records before him, and can judge for himself
which is the more worthy of his regard. There have been Spiritualists who,
writing in their normal state, and not yet fully divorced from the
influence of their former education, have acknowledged the authenticity of
the Bible, and the doctrines of Jesus as recorded in the gospels. But
these, it is claimed, are to be understood according to a spiritual
meaning which underlies the letter; and this spiritual meaning generally
turns out to be contrary to the letter, which is a virtual denial of the
record itself. But the quotations here given (only a specimen of the
multitudes that might be presented) are given on the authority of the
"spirits," whose teachings are what we wish to ascertain.

They Deny All Distinction Between Right And Wrong.

There is implanted in the hearts of men by nature, a sense of right and a
sense of wrong. Even those who know not God, nor Christ, nor the gospel,
possess this power of discrimination. This is what Paul, in Rom. 2:15,
calls "the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also
bearing witness, and their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else
excusing one another." That this distinction should now be denied by a
class in a civilized community, professing to be advanced thinkers and
teachers, among whom are found the learned, the refined, and the
professedly pious, shows that we have fallen upon strange times. To be
sure, many of them talk fluently of the beauty
