The same laws which gave us being still operate and the soul which has been endowed with self concious, god-like thought, and permitted to come into communion with itself, and the world of great potential forces from whence it came, cannot be lost, and under the operation of these same eternal, self-existent laws of the universe, its progress must ever be onward and upward.

The ethical purposes of the great Over-soul, can never be defeated, and all that is good, enobling and worthy of preservation on this mortal plane of existence, will be reunited beyond the vale: and yet it is but natural that we should keeulv feel the loss to us bere, of the loved ones gone before.

As a mere myth the shrouded skeleton with a scythe death has been dreaded in all ages and by all classes of people, from the peasant to the monarch, but as spiritualists, we rejoice to know, that this mythical monster is only a baseless superstition, and that the natural change called death, is but a birth into a high-er life. Our sister has passed through that change, and as mortals we feel the loss of her presence among us, and feeling this loss, as spiritualists, we can extend our heart felt sympathies, to her bereaved family. We rejoice to know, that to her, death had no tenors, and Read the paper carefully and if it meets your approval and you feel that you would like for it to be enlarged, let us hear from you at once. We believe that the time has come for the union of all the forces which are working for the uplifting of humanity.

At a time like this, antagonisms among reformers are inexcusable. Much as people may differ on minor points, they can unite on the main issue. All would like to increase THEIR INCOMES AND AT THE SAME TIME DECREASE their expenses. This is a laudible desire and perfectly practicable; and fortunately, in order to secure this result, it is not absolutely necessary that the great majority should master all the great economic problems. A respectable minority can set the machinery in motion that will make the people masters of the situation.

The New Woman has set out to find this minority. If you wish to be one of them, send us your subscription at once, and investigate what we have to offer for yourselves.
