and clergy as well az the members OF
religious communities. Sister Borro-
meo wants the book to enter Catholic

So it would have been If pure Chris
tianity held sway in the land. For this
Catholic Church has more than once
condemned the evil of Spiritualism.
She recognizes under the disguise Of
modern superstition one of the Oldest
and worst offspring of Satan's brood.
The Church understands that Spirit
ualism is one with the black magic
and necromancy Of the middle and an
cient ages. Whatever reality there is
in Spiritualism is commerce with
Satan. Spiritualism is only another
name for devil worship.
The cult of spirits is a reversion to
paganism. And the neo-paganism OF
the present day is the direct result of
throwing over an infallible authority
Without infallibility there can be no
true faith; and where there is no true
faith superstition is sure to intrude.
Either God must be adored in truth or
Satan must be worshipped in falsehood.
These remarks need no excuse beyond
what has been offered. But perhaps
it Is as we'll to say that the matter has
been brought to my notice as a local
mischief. Also, have been shocked to
observe under the church notices the
advertisement of the religious services
of the Spiritualist association. These
are tangible results of the absence OF
infallibility and of the prevalence of
the fallible authority of private judg-
ment.
But enough. Let me point once more
to the barque of the Church, and invite
you all to go on board the vessel o:
faith. Enter into the ship of the
Church. She is the lifeboat of the
world today as she has been all through
the ages. She is still TIE one ark Of
salvation for all. Be sure that, though
the winds of inf1delity are rising, and
the tempests of Satan are bursting
forth, she will ride safely over the sea.
Trust yourselves to her. She can never
fail. She will reach the port. in safe
ty. For Christ is in the ship of His
Church. She is divine, and Of the
human mariner who steers her nothing
is left but faith, and the faith Of the
ancient pilot shall save the world.
