Now / believe, under God, that this sermon
will save many from disease, insanity and
perdition. believe these are the days of
which the apostle spake when he said:, '.In
the latter times some shall depart from tho
faith, giving heed to seducing spirits." I
think my audience, as well as other audiences
In this day, need to have reiterated In their
hearing the passages quoted some minutes
ago: "There shall not be among you q con-
suffer of familiar spirits, or wizard, or nee
romancer; 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 of from their people,"
But invite you this morning to 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
IL there are any voices coming from the
eternal world. ! think there are. Listeni
oSecret things belong unto the Lord our
God. but things that are revealed belong
unto us and our children" Surely that Il q

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

the table must move, let It be under the
offices of industrious housewifery. Teach
your children there are no ghosts to be seen
or heard in this world save those who walk
on two feet or four, human or bestial. Re-
member that Spiritualism at the best is o
useless thing; for il it tells what the Bible
reveals it is a superfuity, and II It tells
what the Bible does not reveal 1t Is a lie
Instead of going out to get other people to
tell your fortune, tell your own fortune by
putting your trust in God and doing
the best you can will tell your fortune:
"Ar things work together for good to them
who love God.n Insult not your departed
friends by asking them to come down and
scrabble under an extension table. Remem-
Der that there Is only one Spirit whose dicta-
ton you have right to invoke, and that is
the holy, blessed and omnipotent Spirit Of
God. Hank! He is rapping now, not on q
table or the floor, but rapping on the door Of
your heart, and every rap is an invitation to
Christ and warning of judgment to come.
Oh, grieve him not away. Quench him not.
He has been all around you this morning.
He was all around you last night He has
been arouid you all your lives. Harki

information, saying: ''My spirit shall not
