    spiritual communications; and shall men, who are one in a nobler magnetism, be reproved by the friendships of the ground ? In conclusion, I feel impressed to remark, that the era of mythology and superstition is fast decaying. Ignorance, bigotry, skepticism, fanaticism, intolerance, spiritual depres- sion, and all slavery—the great evils which now beset man- kind—are rapidly dispersing ; they shall recede entirely from the earth, never again to enslave and degrade humanity. This world of thought and affection, and of social relations, shall be progressively purified, until there shall be unfolded a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. And the evils which now exist, shall be known only to those who will trace the history of our race; which they will do with mingling feelings of pity and regret. By spiritual intercourse we learn that all men shall ultimately be joined into one Brotherhood ; their interests shall be pure and reciprocal ; their actions shall be just and harmonious ; they shall be as one Body, animated by universal Love and gov- erned by pure Wisdom. Man's future is glowing with a beautiful radiance. The mental sky is fast becoming clear and serene ; and the scene is one of grandeur and sublimity. Truth will consume all error and artificial theology, whose power is weakened, and whose corruptions are revealed, by the divine light of Nature's manifestations. Yea, all evil and error will be finally subdued and banished by the triumph of the principles that are good, divine, and unchangeable; and unrighteousness shall be no more ! Streams of good and healthy inspirations will spring.up, and flow down, to cleanse and refresh the moral world, on whose advancing tide the whole race will ascend to intellectual and social harmony, and to a high state of spiritual elevation and intercourse.
