POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



The author of What is This? after a 

 brief discussion of the personality of 

 Jesus and the present degenerate condi- 

 tion of Christianity, goes on to say : " We 

 must have another revelation, therefore. 

 It seems to be a necessity. But what 

 troubles me is this: can it be possible 

 that any part of this revelation can come 

 through one as humble as myself? 

 What have I seen and what have I 

 heard? ... I have often pondered the 



great questions of man's origin and fu- 

 ture ; never until now, never until I heard 

 this voice, have I had any glimmer of a 

 solution of this great puzzle. I know 

 I am nothing, but can not the Supreme 

 Being use a mere nothing to accomplish 

 his purpose ? " Notwithstanding the au- 

 thor's avowed unworthiness, he seems 

 to have been selected, and we have from 

 his pen a new and considerably detailed 

 book of genesis.
