4. TRIUMPHANT EFFECT OF THIS DISCIPLINE ON MR. HOME’S AUNT
“And she felt it a duty that I should leave her house, and which I did.”
5. MR. HOME’S MISSION
It was communicated to him by the spirit of his mother, in the following
terms: “Daniel, fear not, my child, God is with you, and who shall be
against you? Seek to do good: be truthful and truth-loving, and you will
prosper, my child. Yours is a glorious mission—you will convince the
infidel, cure the sick, and console the weeping.” It is a coincidence
that another eminent man, with several missions, heard a voice from the
Heavens blessing him, when he also was a youth, and saying, “You will be
rewarded, my son, in time”. This Medium was the celebrated Baron
Munchausen, who relates the experience in the opening of the second
chapter of the incidents in _his_ life.
6. MODEST SUCCESS OF MR. HOME’S MISSION
“Certainly these phenomena, whether from God or from the devil, have in
ten years caused more converts to the great truths of immortality and
angel communion, with all that flows from these great facts, than all the
sects in Christendom have made during the same period.”
7. WHAT THE FIRST COMPOSERS SAY OF THE SPIRIT-MUSIC, TO MR. HOME
“As to the music, it has been my good fortune to be on intimate terms
with some of the first composers of the day, and more than one of them
have said of such as they have heard, that it is such music as only
angels could make, and no man could write it.”
These “first composers” are not more particularly named. We shall
therefore be happy to receive and file at the office of this Journal, the
testimonials in the foregoing terms of Dr. Sterndale Bennett, Mr. Balfe,
Mr. Macfarren, Mr. Benedict, Mr. Vincent Wallace, Signor Costa, M. Auber,
M. Gounod, Signor Rossini, and Signor Verdi. We shall also feel obliged
to Mr. Alfred Mellon, who is no doubt constantly studying this wonderful
music, under the Medium’s auspices, if he will note on paper, from
memory, say a single sheet of the same. Signor Giulio Regondi will then
perform it, as correctly as a mere mortal can, on the Accordion, at the
next ensuing concert of the Philharmonic Society; on which occasion the
before-mentioned testimonials will be conspicuously displayed in the
front of the orchestra.
