with John H. Noyse’s “Perfectionist” and confirming the given hints.  But this treatise being already weighty, we do not need to add an explanation, why our leaders were pleased to furnish Noyse’s pamphlet to give occasion to these solemn warnings with which we close this treatise, which should be thankfully received from our directors by all parties and especially by Abolitionists and Republicans and by all kinds of Perfectionists and Spiritualists of the last fashion, who are by the abomination, called Free Love, so stupified, that they cannot comprehend our message, although they pretend to be Reformers.  But those who will become true Reformers, must come on our ground according to the plan made public in the last treatise of this book by your sincere brother Andrew B. Smolnikar, “extraordinary Ambassador” for the introduction of the New Era of Harmony and Peace.

THIRD TREATISE.

“The War in Europe, its remote and recent causes” in connexion with our Epistle to the Bishops of Illyria, to be communicated to the Emperors of Austria and France for the resurrection of the mortals as well as their departed friends from their misery and distress into the state of true happiness.

Instead of the treatise which was prepared to occupy this place in this book, we write on the 4th day of July, 1859, a New Treatise, while others are keeping the shadow for reality, rejoicing in companies and filling my ears with explosions of crackers and thunders of guns and my nostrils with the most disagreeable smell of gun powder, while I am mourning in my solitude in the midst of hundreds of thousands of people of the City of New York and neighbourhood, because they would not receive our message of peace and learn how to bring forth fruits of the true liberty of nations.  This treatise was occasioned by the book “The War in Europe, its remote and recent causes” written by J. H. Duganne, and published a few days ago by R. M. DeWitt, Nassau St., No. 60, New York.  I mention it here, because it contains a collection of facts and events, by the perusal of which any body, if he reflects upon what he reads, may be aware of what we continuously repeat, that people and their political and ecclesiastical governments have apostatized from Truth and Justice, and cannot establish the promised peace, except according to the plan which is given in the fifth or last treatise of this book.  The causes of Revolutions and Wars and manifold other plagues are contained in the apostasy of men from Truth and Righteousness.  This apostasy brings mortal men into the association with departed deluding and destroying spirits, as you know, if you have comprehended the preceding treatises, and you will receive the more proof of this important truth, the farther you will proceed in studying this book.  Mortal men are in close connexion with congenial departed spirits.  The life of man in his mortal body is a manifestation
