IN the Banner of Light, of June 4, 1864, a conversation with a spirit is reported as follows: "Q. Have you ever seen Confucius and Zoroaster? Q. In the order of degree, which stands the higher in moral excellence—Jesus Christ, Confucius, or Zoroaster? A. Confucius stands in morality higher than the other two." Thus, in point of morality, Confucius a pagan of China, who flourished B. c. 550, is placed above Christ. It is not surprising that demons should so teach respecting Christ, and by all means strive to degrade him; for he is a special object of hatred to the Devil and all his angels. It is bad enough that they have the power of disseminating such sentiments among mankind, but worse still that multitudes are found ready to swallow the infernal teaching. We read of a class, who, before the coming of the Saviour, will sigh and cry for all the abominations done in the land. Will they not also sigh and cry for all the blasphemies uttered against God and his Son. Let us rejoice that the time is near when the seething reign of sin will be at an end, and blasphemies no more pain the ear of the child of God, and insult the majesty of Heaven.
