Excerpt from Discourses From the Spirit-World Change is a necessary result of motion. Viewed in all the appear ances of human activity, life presents a vivid picture of ever-varying objects and scenes, whose beauties and deformities excite in the beholder mingling emotions of admiration and disgust. A true position, however, is essential to correct observation. The benign influence of light and freedom is necessary to designate the true character and condition of the objects that excite the attention. Comprehending, then, the whole of human realities and circumstances, as far as is possible to the contem plating mind of man, we ask a candid investigation of the following pages, which will, we trust, afford not only interest in their perusal, but light to direct the sincere inquirer into the paths of true happiness, and guide to a more familiar acquaintance with those celestial beings who, as our elder brethren, continually minister to earth's inhabitants, as a part of that common family whose origin is the earth, but whose destiny is to be increasingly glorious amid the circling spheres of the better country.
