eternity of thought, for us thus to remember what we imagined was quite forgotten. Q. (C.) Did Christ suffer the cause of physical pain, on the Cross that any ordinary Mortal would have felt? A. Christ was during his life on earth a man in its highest sense, and, as the more delicate the organization, the keener the pain, He suffered even more than an ordinary man. Q. Why did Christ think he was "forsaken"? A. He represented humanity and as in some cases man feels forsaken, it was necessary that Christ should experience every emotion of which humanity is capable to make the parallel complete. Q. Who is Satan? Satan is the embodiment of evil, he is not a personality of himself, but he has plenty in the universe who personify what he signifies. Q. What is meant by "the rebellion in heaven"?

A. That is a figure of speech used to represent the sin that was to come into the form of Christ's Church _ there can be no rebellion in the state we call heaven and when Christ said, he saw Satan fall from heaven, he meant that in that state, sin and the tendancy to sin were overcome. Q. Q. What do you mean by the "force of Christ's Church? A. As I explained to you the real church of Christ is hid in many forms and many cruelities and much sin has been committed by those bodies. Q. Why was Lucifer called the "Son of the morning"? A. There are names given necessarily to the Messengers of God and Lucifer was one of the great and good Angels who desired the name of Son _

Q. How did he fall? A. Lucifer, called the Son of the morning could not have fallen. Q. Is he a good angel now? A. I do not know the names of Angels in the other heavens, but if there was ever a spirit who received from God that title, I am sure he has not lost it. Q. Are the stars inhabited? A. Many of what you call stars are inhabited, but perhaps the bright ones you refer to, are suns and are not yet ready for habitation. Q. What sort of beings inhabit them? A. Beings like yourself, for God has made all that he has given part of Himself to, in your form and with your faculties. Q. Are we not tiring Endurance? A. If you have anything of importance to ask, she could endure, so you may trust to me to care for her.

Q. (E.) Will there be any by which we can reach you when she is gone? A. I think there may be, if you keep yourself in sympathy with what I have taught you. Q. Shall I know? A. Yes, you will have the consciousness given you if I find it necessary, but I do not see that you need much more instruction for a time Q. (C.) Do you know our Prof. Sophocles? A. You must think of Him as a Spirit not by his earthly name. Think of his peculiarities as a follower of the Truth and particularly of his trust in Christ as the great Expounder of the Truth _ It is given me to know of him, he saw and does now, see the truth as an intellectual force rather than a moral one, but his spirit will progress out of this lower condition, for without knowing,

like many, he went about doing his Father's will. Q. (E.) Can you tell me of Miss (Coushman?) ? A. As we shall not all be together again soon, it is permitted me to give you such tidings, but they not spiritual things. The one of whom you think is not of our society, but as I told you, of another which lies behind the understanding. She has known of these communications and is willing to wait for the good she sees will result from them. Q. (C.) Can you tell us of Hatty? A.

I am told just now, that she is in the same heaven with the friend who has just been spoken of and is making rapid progress to the perfection which will bring her into the heaven I occupy, then I shall know her personally and
