this fur was foreign, and imported by Belief, the attor-
ney for Personal Sense, who is in company with Error,
and smuggles his goods into market without the inspec-
tion of Soul's government officers. Whenever the court
of Truth summons Furred Tongue to appear for exami-
nation, he disappears, and is never more heard of. Mor-
bid Secretion is not an importer or dealer in fur, but we
have heard their Honors, Materia Medica and Medium-
ship explain how it is manufactured, and know they are
on friendly terms with the firm of Personal Sense and
error, receiving pay for their goods, and introducing
them into market. Also be it known, that Belief, coun-
sel for the plaintiff, Personal Sense, is a procurer for this
firm; manufactures for it, keeps a furnishing store, and
advertises largely for this firm. Ulceration testified he
was absent from the state (body) when a message came
from Belief, commanding him to take part in the homi-
cide; at this request he repaired to the spot of liver‑
complaint, frightened away Materia Medica who was
manacling the prisoner under pretence of saving him,
but this ignorance, not malice, was in fact an uncon-
scious participation in the deed, for which Laws of
Health has had Man, innocent of all crime in the case,
imprisoned, tried and condemned to die.
450:25
Science then turned from the abashed witnesses,
Science then turned from the abashed witnesses,
with words like sharpened steel, pointed at the hearts
of Materia Medica, Physiology, the felon Mesmerism,
and the masked form, Mediumship, saying:

God should
God should
have smitten thee, thou whited walls, sitting to judge in
justice, but condemning in thine ignorance the pris-
oner who sought your aid in his struggles against the
deed whereof you accuse him, then coming to his rescue

only to fasten, through false testimony, an offence on the
prisoner of which he is innocent; aiding and abetting
that for which you would sacrifice man, declaring your
executioner, Disease, to be God's servant and the exe-
cutor of His laws, when our statute decides your wit-
nesses, jurors, and judges condemned, by higher law,
and only awaiting the executioner, Progress. We send
our very best detectives to whatever locality you report
your Disease, but visiting the spot, they learn it was
never there, or it could not elude their discovery. Your
Mental Court of Errors, at which you condemn or
acquit man on the ground of disease, is the oleaginous
machinations of your counsel, Belief, that Science
arraigns before the supreme bar of Soul, to answer
for his blood-shed. You taught Morbid Secretions to
make sleep befool his reason, before sacrificing man to
your gods; your jurors, Mortal Minds, were mesmer-
ized by your attorney, Belief, and compelled to deliver
man to his open-jawed packs. You would transform
good deeds into crimes, to which you attach penalties;
but no warping of justice renders disobedience to Laws
of Matter, disobedience to God, or an act of homicide;
for matter cannot kill what Spirit has made.
451:24
Even penal law construes homicide under stress of
Even penal law construes homicide under stress of
circumstances justifiable, and what greater justification
hath a deed than that it did good to our neighbor,
wherefore, then, we ask in the name of outraged jus-
tice, do you sentence Man for ministering to the wants
of his fellow man, in obedience to higher law? You
cannot walk over the supreme bench; Man is amenable
only to God, who sentences for sin only. The false
and unjust beliefs of your Mental Court of Errors enact
