Lines of distinction betwixt the natural and spiritual worlds. 5. That all worlds now existing, whether natural or spiritual, shall continue through endless duration. 6.

That the Supreme Being possesses the most perfect figure of a man, notwithstanding is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. 8. The manner in which God made the worlds. 9. The origin of the whites, blacks, and copper-coloured of the human race."
