Psychic light : the continuity of law and life . hosewho have passed on to an understanding of spirit and itseternal laws. With such teachers do you wonder that fromchildhood I have prayed that it might be my mission toteach and practice this religion—a philosophy based uponprinciples that do not tear down to build up, but, on thecontrary, enriches itself with whatever good can be ex-tracted from all creeds and every religious faith? My con-ception of this harmonial philosophy, as I ^teach and prac-tice it, is that it does not disturb the traditions of thechurches, but rather confirms them. Take spiritualism outof the Bible, and the churches would have no foundationupon which to build. We take from the Old Testamentall that is instructive, wholesome and clean. We believe inthe teachings of Christ and strive to emulate the examplesof all saintly lives. We teach that all infractions of moraland spiritual laws bring punishment. Purity of morals, a cleanly life and a practice of theGolden Rule are vital exemplifications of the highest. MRS. MAUD E. LORD.(See page 373.) CONTINUITY OF LAW AND LIFE. 353 virtues. We demonstrate to all conscientious fact that if a man die he shall live again, thatdeath is but birth into a new, natural, social and real life,compared to which this is the shadowy life. We demon-ic immortality. If you accept the fact on faith, we askyon to know it. We are not iconoclasts, but co-operatewith churches in all reforms. We ask all to think for them-Ours is an established religion, with a demon-ble philosophy. To the erring it offers mercy, to thecd it holds out opportunities of growth into better con-ditions; to the weary on earth it speaks of rest, and to themiserable it breathes the balm of hope. What objectioncan humanity have to the fact that under proper conditionsI the voices of their loved ones gone before, may, anddo fall, again into speech and tell us that the coin cur-rent in immortal life is the good and unselfish acts
