the powers of hypnotism, mesmerism, and the like.

Once more, I will allude to the Moslem belief in a plurality of heavens, which are described in the most realistic terms, and seem to find countenance in what S. Paul says about his experiences in the Third Heaven, to which he tells us he was caught up, whether in the body or out of the body he could not tell, where he saw things that could not be described by the tongue of man, since the speech of Lower Space cannot put into words what passes in the Higher Space.

The Indian belief in the existence of many orders of heavens and hells may also be quoted.

Many more witnesses might easily be called who would speak in language which our theory enables us to understand upon this subject, but the above may suffice for my present purpose, which is to shew that amid much error, much ignorance, much superstition the truth has been preserved

by its own vitality, the which if it were not so powerful must have been crushed out by the hands through which it has passed.

Not only has it not been crushed out, but on the contrary it has given something of its own life to the systems which have received it, however much disguised, under however grotesque forms, in East and West alike; and it may be fairly conjectured that it is in virtue of this life that the Non-Christian religions of the world maintain their wonderful ascendency, in a way that would not only be surprising but impossible unless they had some salt of truth to preserve them and their beliefs.
