s'Come to the woods, heighoP You say
you are not such fool as that; but you
win be if you keep on in the track you
have started.
"But," says some one, '.wouldn't It be
Of advantage to hear from the future
worldf Don't you think It would
strengthen Christians? There are q great
many Materialists who do not believe
there are souls; but If spirits from the
future world should knock and talk over
to us, they would be persuaded" To
that I answer, in the ringing words Of
the Son of God; sH they believe not
Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be persuaded though one rose from
the dead.n
Now believe, under God, that this
sermon will save many from disease, In
sanity and perdition. believe these are
the days of which the apostle spake
when he said: SIN the latter times some
shall depart from the faith, giving heed
to seducing spirits" / think my au-
dience, as well as other audiences in this
day, need to have reiterated IN their
hearing the passages quoted some min
utes ago: There shall net be among you
consulter of familiar spirits, or wizard,
or necromancg; for they that do these
things are an abomination unto the
Lord;" and The soul that turneth after
such as have familiar spirits, will set
myself against them, and they shall be
cut off from their people,
But inSite yea thiss smoenine twW
Christian seance. . MONDAY seance. This
congregation is only one great family.
Here Is the church table. Come around
the church table, take your seats for this
great Christian seance, put your Bible
on the table, put your hands on the top
of the Bible, and then listen and hear If
there are any voices coming from the
eternal world. l think there are.
Listenl ssSecret things belong unto the
Lord our God, but things that are re-
vealed belong unto us and to our chill
dren." Surely that Is voice from
the spirit worldl But before you rise
from this Christian seance, want you to
promise me you will be satisfied with the
Divine revelation until the light of the
eternal throne breaks upon your vision.
Do not go after the witch of En-dor. Do
not sit down at table rappings, either in
sport or in dead earnest. Have your
tables so well made, and their legs so
even, that they win not tip and rattle.
If the table must move, let it be under
the offices of industrious housewifery.
Teach your children there are no ghoets
to be seen or heard in this world
save those which walk on two feet OF
four, human or bestial. Remember that
Spiritualism at the best Is useless thing;
for if it tells what the Bible reveals it Is q
superfuity, and If it tells what the Bible
does not reveal, it is q lie. Instead OF
going out to get other people to tell your
fortune, tell your own fortune by put
ting your trust in God and doing the best
you can. win tell your fortune: "Al
things work together for good to them
who love God" Insult not your de-
parted friends by asking them to come
down and scrabble under an extension
table. Remember that there is only
bone spirit whose dictation you have
| right to invoke, and that is the
holy, blessed and omnipotent Spirit ol
God. Hark! He is rapping now, moi
on a table or the floor, but rapping or
the door of your heart, and every rap j.
an invitation to Christ and warning o.
| Judgment to come. Oh, grieve him no
away. Quench him not. He ha'
been all around you this morn
ing. He was all around yot
last night He has been around yo,
all your lives. Hark! There comes I
voice dropping through the roof, break
ing through the window, filling all thi
house with tender and overmastering in
tonation, saying: "My spirit shall no
always strive"
