opened for our proclamations, because we have no money to pay
for their use. But at that time the masonic fraternity were carrying their
instruments into their building, from which they removed them during
the danger while the church opposite their building was burning. I said
to them, that I had to proclaim a message against the Pope of Rome in
correspondence with that fire, and requested them to grant their hall for
that purpose, They granted it, and my proclamation was advertised in
the daily newspapers of Nashville. It was delivered on the next sunday
after the fire in the German language before, and in the English
language after noon.
In the next month after that proclamation the last dreadful European
revolution and war commenced in Hungary in correspondence with the
fact, that the bishops of Hungary were the last among the bishops of
Europe, who have been under the direction of my Heavenly leaders

most solemnly warned to prevent the revolution which commenced in
Paris on the 24th February[E] 1848. That was in the octave of the tenth
anniversary after my first public appearance in my present mission and
my solemn initiation by Heavenly messengers for this mission. Ten
years in commemoration of the ten horns of the beast were granted for
repentance to the blind leaders of the blind, for whom I published A.D.
1838 the first volume of explanations of the mystery; and in that year I
commenced to exhort Emperor Ferdinand and his bishops, that they
should study that volume. But after the publication of the fifth volume
A.D. 1842, the bishops of Hungary were the last amongst the grandees
of Europe, to whom I applied; to wit, when all my applications were
disregarded, I published a Latin circular and sent copies of it to a
number of bishops in Europe. While I was preparing those copies for
the mail, Samuel Ludvigh, a Hungarian scholar, came into my room.
He never before nor after that did come to me, although I met with him
several times in other places, and warned him always, that he should
study my writings to be converted from his materialism to the true
spiritualism. But at that my meeting with him in my room I said to him,
that he came at the right time, to give me directions to all bishops in
Hungary. He did so, and by this unexpected provision I was enabled, to
send to all Roman Catholic bishops in Hungary copies of my Latin
circular, in which direction to find copies of my volumes, was given
and the duty of the Austrian bishops was shown to study my volumes,
and then to instruct the Emperor and other grandees of the Austrian
Empire and Hungarian Kingdom, in what they should do, to prevent
revolutions and wars, and to establish the promised peace on earth.
When all our endeavoring to move the blind leaders of the blind to take
the medicine which was prepared in our publications to open their eyes,
was disregarded, I met at length in Cincinnati with the same doctor
Samuel Ludvigh, a materialistic reformer, trusting in weapons of war,
and I was inspired that I said to him, that there was high time for him to
learn that he had an immortal soul and also, that he himself was a
strong medium of deluding and destroying spirits, and that I was ready
to give him a peculiar testimony of that truth most necessary for him to
become an apostle of peace. He asked, how I could show him this. He
was not ready to examine arguments and experience of others in this

respect. Therefore I, according to the direction of my Heavenly leader
said, that I would magnetize him. That was the same in that connection
of things, as to say, that I would initiate him into the mystery of our
close connection with departed spirits. There is the right use as well as
the abuse of human magnetism. Some eight years ago I published a
pamphlet on "the dreadful abuse of human magnetism in the mysteries
of the Roman Catholic Church and her daughters the protestant sects."
Samuel Ludvigh was willing that I should magnetize him directly. But I
remarked, that the tavern in which I met with him, was not the proper
place for our initiation or ordination. But he was inspired to ask me,
that I should make a trial there in his room in which some of his
materialists were with him. I was impressed to do so, and it was
directly made manifest, that the legion of demons by which he was
surrounded, were compelled to give way to our magnetism. And when
he fell into the magnetic sleep, I said to him, that to go so deep into our
magnetism
