Dissensions finallyarose, the land holdings of those who desired werepurchased by Oliphant, and Harris, with a few fol-lowers, removed to Califoinia. He took up his res-idence at Santa Rosa in that state, where he owns andconducts a large vineyard, manufacturing the grapesinto wine. Awriter for the press, who recently vis-ited him, describes him as having all the appear-ance of a dreamer and enthusiast. . His ordinary manner is slow and deliberate, but whenexpounding his views of life and the problems hebelieves he has solved, he speaks with intense ear-nestness and energy and his whole appearance ischanged. Harris has published: The Epic of theStarry Heavens (1854); A Lyric of the MorningLand (1854); Modern Spiritualism (1856); ALyric of the Golden Age (1856); Truth and Lifein Jesus (1860), and The Millennium A§e (1861),all dealing at great length with the religious viewshe has held at different times.
