"6 The Death of Christ was attended by electricthe Crucifixion; the tearing of the temple veil in twain; and the earthquake which finally ensued

"7 The Resurrection was a most powerful display of electric force It will be re at the entrance of the empty sepulchre 'had a countenance like LIGHTNING,' ie, like electric flame It must also be called to dalene: 'TOUCH ME NOT, for I am but newly risen!' Why should she not have touched Hith of concentrated in-rushing currents of electricity; and to touch hidalene instant death by lightning This effect of embodied electric force has been shadowed forth in the Greek legends of Apollo, whose glory consumed at a breath the mortal who dared to look upon him

"8 The descent of the Holy Ghost, by which ter Intelligence of the Creator, was purely electric in character: 'Suddenly there cahty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting And there appeared unto them CLOVEN TONGUES LIKE AS OF FIRE, and sat upon each of them' It may here be noted that the natural electric flame is DUAL or 'cloven' in shape

"Let us now take the Creed as accepted to-day by the Christian Church, and see how thoroughly it harmonizes with the discoveries of spiritual electricity 'I believe in one God the Father Als VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE' This is a brief and simple description of the Creator as He exists-- a Supre all life, all love, all wisdootten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages' This means that the only absolute Emanation of His own PERSONAL Radiance that ever wore such arb as our clay was found in Christ--who, as part of God, certainly existed 'BEFORE ALL AGES' For as the Creed itself says, He was 'God of God, LIGHT OF LIGHT Then we go on through the circumstances of Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection, and our profession of faith brings us to 'I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,' etc This, as already stated, means that we believe that since Christ ascended into Heaven, our electric communication with the Creator has been established, and an ever-flowing current of divine inspiration is turned beneficially in the direction of our Earth, 'proceeding from the Father and the Son' We admit in the Creed that this inspiration manifested itself before Christ came and 'SPAKE BY THE PROPHETS;' but, as before stated, this only happened at rare and difficult intervals, while now Christ Hily adhere to His teachings
