A VOICE FROM THE TOMB.

TO THE EDITOR. vSir, —Tlie sentiments expressed by* “ A Sceptical Reporter” on the above subject are like precious raindrops upon the thirsty land. It is good to have his plain outspoken opinion. Spiritualism ” in all its branches is only a cunning fascinating plan of his Satanic Majesty, who. being an everpresent witness in our lives, finds it an easy thing to represent us, through mediums, etc., after we have passed away. The mediums allow the old fellow to take control of their entire body and by so doing he can deceive to the uttermost. He is the father of lies and wickedness. History records piles of evidence to support this. Solomon, in Eccl. 12-7, believed the spirit returned to God. and not a hint did lie give of it ever being used again for man’s benefit,

while David's sentiments regarding his infant son's spirit expressed in 2 Samuel. 12-23, are positive. “He shall not return to me.” Also the rich man’s only desire in the parable recorded by Luke. IG, 25-31, was left ungranted. Paul tells us plainly in 2. Gor. 11-14, of the possibility of the oJd fellow' transforming himself into “ a figure o light.” The witch of Endor. 1, Sam. 28, is also another striking exposure of spiritualism. Then again, take notice that the socalled advice, medical or otherwise, is a matter of £ s d. It’s really time this absurd teaching was exposed. The wonder is why some of our leading Bible students don’t challenge the subject in open debate. Medium is but a modern name for witch, and if one reads past history they will find that the penalty of those who practised communing with familiar spirits was a severe one. Ex. 22-18, Lev. 19-31, etc. To-day they are allowed to deceive big, strong, brainy-looking men and women.—l am, etc-, ANTI-SPIRITUALIST.
