Denying the Resurrection of the Body.
By G. W. A.
THEODORE TILTON, of the Golden Age, is very liberal in his religious views. The spiritualists say that he “occasionally” “gives expression to ideas” that meet their “approval.” No wonder. Hear what he says about the resurrection of the body:— “The body, once buried, shall rise again. That is, it shall decompose in the earth; it shall mingle with the soil; it shall become part of nature’s mold; it shall receive the rain from heaven; it shall quicken and revive—atom by atom; it shall struggle up, regerminate to the surface; and finally it shall appear again to human eyes—here in a blade of grass, there in a head of clover—here in a trailing vine, there in a spreading oak. This is the only resurrection of the body in which we have any faith.” This extract is taken from a spiritualist paper (Religio-Philosophical Journal), and the editor says “the day is not far distant when Mr. Tilton will admit the truthfulness of spirit communion.” G.
