be constrained TO believe.
That we may better understand the state
ments of Scripture, we will attend to the def
milton of the words used to denote the for
bidden practice.
A WlTCH is a woman who practises any art
of taking counsel of the dead.
A WIZARD is a male witch or medium for
intercourse of departed spirits.
A NECRoMANUBR is a revealer of secrets or of
instructions from the dead. "Necro" is from
the Greek, for "dead,' and "mdnCer" is from
the Greek for ''revealer;" a "DeorOmancer" is
literally lone who reveals by the dead
A FAMILIAR SPIRIT is departed spirit, who
is the companion of one possessed by it.
SoRoERY, says Webster, is divination by
the assistance of evil spirits.
A few other texts, besides those heretofore
quoted, may show Christians that they can
have nothing to do with practising Spiritual
| ism:-
Leviticus XIX 81. "Regard not them who
have familiar spirits, neither seek after Wi-drds
to be defled by them. /, the Lord your God,
forbid it,
2 Chronicles xxxiii, l. "Manasseh observed
times, and used enchantments, and used witch-
craft and dealt with familiar spirit and with
oDizardS." Therefore he was carried captive
to Babylon.)
l C6ron. X, 13. Saul died-for asking
counsel of .one who had a familiar spirit
therefore the Lord slew him, and turned the
kingdom to David"
Nahum iii, 4. Nineveh was laid waste, and
remains desolate to this day, because she was
the mistress of witchcraft."
Galatians V, 20. The works of the flesh
are "adultery, fornication, uncleanness, las
civiousness, Oitchcrqtt." They that do such
things ''shall not inherit the kingdom o.
| God.''
word to the wise from st. Paul:-''Tht
spirit speaketh expressly that in the last times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heeC
to seducing spirits and the doctrines o
demons"
A word from st. John:-"They are tn,
spirits of demons, working wonders, which g
forth unto the Kings of the earth and of tn
whole world to gather them to the battle o
that great day of God Almighty. Behold,
come as a thief. Blessed is he who watcheth.
