the prophecy of the Jewish Nation.  In one of my former writings I have given more disclosure regarding this mystery, but when we will have our own Printing office, I will give a more complete explanation of the mystery, as well as of my generation, because if you comprehend this book, you know that we have superabundance of signs according to prophecies, by virtue of which I appear as the first born son of Jesus Christ for the introduction of his peaceable reign on earth or the great Community or Republic, for which we must prepare by establishing a centre of our co-operatian.

Here is to be mentioned that regarding the community great abuse was made of the above quoted verses from the above quoted and other biblical passages in monasteries and nunneries as well as in other associations.  Christ says to the Angel of the church of Ephesus:  “But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.”  Revelation, ii:  6.  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos he reproaches:  “So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.”  Rev. ii:  15.  Nicolaitanes in the Revelation are the same who are in our days known as Free-lovers.  Some called them Dr. Nichol’s people.  But that Doctor was at length converted to Romanism, lecturing for the Roman Catholic Church, and the day before yesterday or on the 14th of August, I read the advertisement of his lecturing here in New York.  We expect, that he will get this book, comprehend our spiritualism and draw many Roman Catholics into the true Catholic Church, or what is the same, into our Peace Union.  Man must be restored to his true condition.  A chaste, pure life in celibacy, and a true matrimony in which carnal copulation is usued only for obtaining children when sound reason or true christian spirit requires it, this is the true condition of man for his true happiness in this and in the future life.  All excess in this respect is injurious to body and soul of parents and children.  As long as mankind are not reduced to the right order in this respect, they remain in their degradation and misery.  How they will be brought lo the right order in the true community as the only refuge for the restoration of the human race will be explained in our Periodical for the common use and particularly to those who will come to our Peace Union, here not being room except to give hints on many points the full explanation of which requires large treatises.  Here we give the following hints.

In the present Babylon dollars and cents as the means in this state of affairs used for what man needs to support his mortal life and for committing all kinds of sins and crimes against his fellow men, occupy in so dreadful a manner the minds of men and women in general in their present degraded condition, that the one thing needful, their spiritual progress is so neglected, that probably if some few comprehend this book so far as to apply all their energy to spread
