them, he brought witli him, from Europe, a number of 

 New Cliurch works, for gratuitous distribution, and f jv 

 sale. Ueichenbach, on examining the doctrines, embra- 

 ced and avowed them openly. He afterwards published 

 several works on the doctrines of the New Church. One 

 entitled *,'lgathon, published in English and German, 

 which was favorably received. 



From the efforts of Von Buelow, who afterwards re- 



the same acts, which were his temptations, the last of which 

 was the passion of the cro-s, he united, in his Humanity, Divine 

 Truth to Divine Good, or Divine Wisdom to Divine Love, and
