NO REPLY TO sPIRITUALISTs.
DR.. Shannon, However, Denounces
Cult as a Fraud.

At the Metropolitan NJ. z. Church last
night the fourth sermon of the Rev. DR..
John Reid Shannon's Sunday evening
series in 1.-The All-surrounding Spirit
World was delivered.
Dr. Shannon prefaced his sermon by
saying:
Il have no time to waste in news
paper controversy with any one who
champions the cause of modern spiritual
ism, and in so doing defends astrology and
old-time divination. Such a communica-
ton is its own answer. In this pulpit we
characterize spiritualism as a fraud, and
from such characterization We have no re-
traction to make. We asserted that the
anniversary of spiritualism. as observed
for years. IL April An Fools Day. I'M
til laughable comments on this fact led
spiritualists to change the date to April 3"
He spoke on The Heavens and the
Hels of the Spirit World" as his sermons
theme:
1--WE are living under the law of cause
and effect said DR.. Shannon. Our
actions have results. These results follow
us: they make our character our real
self.
.It is our real self that makes our
heaven or hell in the spirit world. Heaven
is an essential condition of the soul; hell
is an essential condition of the soul. We
make our own heaven or hell in the I'M
seen universe. The Persian poet is right
when he says:
IL sent my soul out into the invisible.
Some lesson Of that after life to spell:
Bye and bye my soul returned to me.
And said. 1 myself am heaven or hell -
mo man need fear hereafter any he'll
except the hell which he needlessly makes
for himself The key to heaven in the
spirit world is fitness to enjoy heaven.
Unless man is made alive unto God he
is blind and dead and dead to heavenly
things. A man can enter into heaven as a
place only as he has within himself heaven
as a state. To be right with God is to
find heaven in any and in every part of
the universe
