We care not what others may do ; this paper will do its duty. It was established because there was a call for a journal that would dare to tell the truth ; that would not conceal it; that would serve as a standard, around which, good men might rally; that would denounce false mediums and false leaders, whenever and wherever they might be found ; that would never make patronage of its advertising department the passport to its editorial columns.

Thank Heaven, we are beginning to see the dawn breaking over these hill-tops of ignorance, fraud and prejudice that have been piling up these last twenty-seven years. Already some of the best and brightest minds among our psychologists have come to our assistance, and no paper in the world has a more talented corps of contributors. Already friends gather around us, send us money, exert themselves, without our solicitation, to get subscribers, and our young enterprise stands upon “rock bottom.”<ref>{{Style S-HPB SB. HPB note|# The Editor and <u>Medium</u> Gerry Brown has thanked us for our help. Between Col. Olcott & myself, H.P.B., we have spent over a 1000 dollars given him to pay his debts & support his paper. Six months later he became our <u>mortal</u> enemy, because only we declared our unbelief in <u>Spirits</u>. Oh grateful mankind!! H.P.B.}}</ref>
