Immediately, all eyes were
turned upon him, and at the same instant there was a subdued murmur of
surprise by many of those present at the magnificent appearance of the
man.
"Tall and erect, with finely formed limbs, and powerfully built
shoulders, he easily towered above all of the other occupants of the
room. With a clean shaven face, the handsome features of which expressed
extraordinary intelligence, kindness, and gentleness of nature, combined
with wonderful strength of character, and a shapely head, overhung by an
abundance of beautiful snow-white hair, he looked more like an
ambassador from heaven than a convicted murderer. He wore a black Prince
Albert suit of clothes. As he reached the side of the chair he paused,
and calmly looking from one to the other of the assemblage, he began to
address them in a clear and melodious voice. Almost from the first
utterance, his hearers became electrified by his charming manner and
eloquence, and for nearly half an hour were held spellbound, while he
explained the principles of Natural Law, and the vast benefits the human
race could derive by putting them into effect.
"In a convincing way he drew a beautiful picture upon the minds of those
present of a heaven that should be established here on earth by and for
all living things, in which they should work united and harmoniously
together for a common and unselfish cause, instead of each one pulling
in a different direction for his own selfish purposes. He explained that
all living things were composed of the same material, which was
constantly undergoing a change from life to death and from death to life
by being molded and remolded into different forms, which are constructed
according to the intelligence absorbed by the whole.
