In the February number of the Revue Spirite of Paris Prince Emile de Wittgenstein gives a translation of a part of Madame Blavatsky’s letter published in the New York Graphic, in which she details her experience at the home of the Eddy brothers in Vermont. He assures the Editor of the Revue, of his having been acquainted with this lady and her husband, in the Caucasus, also of the authenticity of her signature, and of her understanding, and speaking many of the dialects of the country, also assures him of the naturalness of the description of the different spirits recognized by her, at the seances of the brothers Eddy. | In the February number of the Revue Spirite of Paris Prince Emile de Wittgenstein gives a translation of a part of Madame Blavatsky’s letter published in the New York Graphic, in which she details her experience at the home of the Eddy brothers in Vermont.

There is in the same number, an account of materializations in Paris, (medium, M. Firman,) a seance in which a gentleman from Moscow, has an interview with the materialized spirit of his sister, kisses her hands and cheek, feels her breath, weeps and thanks God, is almost overcome with his joy. The spirit pressed her cheek against his, and tried to calm him. | |||
The most interesting part of the Revue, is the communications from the circles for the relief of the unhappy spirits, evolving as they do many wonderful spirit laws to those disposed to seek them. At the end of the record of one of these seances, the following remarks are of interest. | |||
“The trials we undergo are not an arbitrary punishment. The God of spiritists is not a God of vengeance, it is a Cod who does not punish; for it is the guilty one who inflicts the punishment on himself. The law of Cod is the law of love and progress; to infringe this law, is to risk the logical consequences that result from having violated a law of nature. Thus in the physical order, the law of Cod is sobriety. Well, is the man who has led a life of vice punished by Cod and in an arbitrary manner, because he is afflicted by infirmities brought on by his excesses? No. He experiences the logical and obligatory consequences of his conduct, and will suffer physically until he is completely cured, by strict sobriety and a severe and painful medication. In the fluidic order, the situation is analagous. A failing, a vice, a fault vitiate the perisprit, and it is then necessary to overcome the imperfection and heal the fluid, in order to obtain moral health and spiritual well-being. The efforts must necessarily be in proportion to the bad fluidic state in which he is, and the pains of the trials will last until the cure is complete.” | |||
