< The "Double". Who are the Producers thereof? (continued from page 1-205) >are given through different media, and each doctrine thus given, whether true or untrue, is made a standpoint to prove other doctrines which are man-made. The doctrine or theory of a “double” is, in my humble, opinion, proved only by a false standpoint. For more than fifteen years I have been a full believer in the doctrine that “none but qualified angel missionaries are the producers of the spiritual phenomena,” and with a full understanding of this doctrine we have a key to unlock very many mysteries that are otherwise unsolvable. By this key it is determined that the double is produced by qualified, disembodied spirits, though the person of whom the double is a facsimile, may apparently will the production of the double; the volition may be and is a spiritual impression, in my humble opinion. Now, Mr. Editor, as I have broached a doctrine perchance antagonistic to long established views of your own, I desire to call your attention to an article in the Religio-Philosophical Journal of March 11th, 1876, on the first page, over the signature of E. D. Warren, and also the article of mine to which he refers in said journal of February 12th, 1876, headed Supernal Laws Governing Spiritual Phenomena. D. Gr. Mosher.

Cremation of the Body of a SpiritualistsThe following letter has been received:— New York, November, 1876. To W. H. Harrison, Esq., 38, Gt. Russell-street, London. Dear Sir,—Upon the 6th December, proximo, at "Washington, Pa., will be cremated the body of the late Joseph Henry Louis, Baron de Palm, Grand Cross Commander of the Sovereign Order of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem; Knight of St. John of Malta; Prince of the Roman Empire; late Chamberlain to His Majesty the King of Bavaria; Fellow of the Theosophical Society, etc., etc., in compliance with wishes expressed to his executors shortly before his decease. This ceremony you are respectfully invited, either in person or by proxy, to attend. The cremation will be effected in a furnace specially designed for the purpose, and erected by F. Julius Le Moyne, M.D., as an earnest of his preference for this mode of sepulture. The occasion being one of interest to science, in its historical, sanitary, and other aspects, the executors of Baron de Palm have consented that it shall have publicity. This invitation is accordingly sent to you in the hope that you may find it convenient to be represented, and in case the general subject of cremation should be discussed, take part in the debate. The Univeisity of Pennsylvania, the Washington and Jefferson College, the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, other institutions of learning, and the Health Boards of Boston, Philadelphia, Washington (D.C.), and other cities, have already signified their intention to send representatives. It is believed that the occasion will draw together a very large number of highly competent and influential scientific observers. Addresses appropriate to the occasion will be delivered. Washington is a town in Washington County, in the State of Pennsylvania, twenty-five miles west of Pittsburgh, on the Chartiers Valley R.R., and about midway between the cities of Pittsburgh and Wheeling. Trains leave Pittsburgh and Wheeling for Washington at 9 o’clock a.m., and at 5 o’clock p.m., every day except Sunday. The running time is about two hours. The audience room of the crematory being quite small, it is necessary that the number intending to be present should be known in advance. You are therefore requested to signify your determination by mail or telegraph to either of the undersigned at your early convenience. Henry S. Olcott, Executors under the last Will and Henry J. Newton, Testament of Baron de Palm.
