The preamble and resolutions published herewith explain so fully as to preclude comment, the latest of the steps by which we are being led to the fuller consciousness that "man is, not will be, spiritual,"—that we are living in the spiritual world, not in one that is material.

A Thought of reversion comes to me so forcibly in these four words; take a card, write on it the words "live" and "lived;" hold it before a mirror, and the reflection you see in it reads "evil" and "devil.
