Melbourne letter disputes Bible alone as truth and spiritualism
James Smith of Melbourne attacks Hollis and orthodox Christian claims, arguing higher criticism and Spiritism align with Christ’s teachings. He cites Moses authorship debates, condemns Athanasian creed and insists spiritual guidance lies in universal divine intent rather than salvation by blood alone. He praises James Smith’s own etching and weekly delivery.
