have tried a greater number of remedies for it. My
opinion is that your pile omiment is the very best in use;
that it will not only sooth and ameliorate., but will posi
tively cure properly applied and persevered in a fair
trial. 1 recommend to all persons in reach of such a
remedy the use of your ointment.

spoken of; but Paul maent that no such
construction should he placed on his lan
guage. He spoke of the unseen body,
without which the teen body could have
no existence.”j
“ Your meaning is veiled,’’ said I.
“ Not veiled,” answered the stranger;
“you see the truth obscurely, because
your vision is dim. Scales shut out the
true light. Let me remove them. Does
your eye see ?”
“ If not, how do 1 perceive forms and
colors ?”
“ That beautiful organ ol flesh and
blood, called the eye—l mean that natu
ral orb so wonderful in its construction—
does that see objects around you ? or is it
only a kind ol window, through which
the. unseen or true spiritual eye looks
forth upon the world of nature. Think !
7s it possible for mere matter to have the
power of sight ?”
“ Not unorganized matter,” l replied.
“Unorganized! wltal is organ
ized matter? 7t is a inatierial form in
which is a principal of life and the form is
determined by the character of the anima

seen would be inert and dead. Your
eye is an organized form, because there

because it is more highly organized.”

4 Yes, spiritually organized.’
4 You startle me. If this be true, vvliat
wonderful things are involved!’
4 We are fearfully and wonderfully
made,’ returned the Granger, in a solemn
voice. 4 This is divine language, and
lias a divine anti spiritual meaning. Yet
wonderful things are involved. If we
have this spiritual body, then we have an
inner as well as an outer lile. And do
not all admit this vaguely ?’
• There is inner life,’ I said.
4 If an inner life, then an inner form of
lile-’

impression.’
4 Yes, and retain them.*
4 Not so tenaciously as this outward,
physical form.’
* More tenaciously,’ said the stranger.
4 This 7do not clearly perceive. A
form so sublimated, so etherial, so un
substantial, must almost instantly over
come impression.*
4 It is not an unsubstantial, but a truly
substantial form,’ was answerd. ‘There
