CAMP MEETING NOTES
 FAMILIAR SPIRITS
Rev. Formsn's Discussion Of the Sub
 ject of Spiritualism.

Evangelist G. w. Forman IS doing some excellent work at the Methodist camp grounds. The afternoon Bible study of the second coming Is very | instructive. The singing is a strong ! feature of every service. Prof Kerr sang last night and the Mocking Bird quartette will sing tonight Last i night Mir. Forman spoke upon the subject announced, Spiritualism. For tune Telling. etc. taking as his text Lev 19:31
 Regard not them that have famil- far spirits. neither seek after wizards to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your god" He said in part:
 "Spiritualsm is real. l have met great many who have asked the question, Do you believe in spiritual ism?' and when say do they are very much surprised. On the other hand there are those who deny spiritualism and say it is d fake But God warns us to regard not them that have familiar spirits. What would be the use of the warning be- loved. if there were no such things?
 The first we heard of spiritualism was the Fox sisters of Rochester. N. Y, astonishing the people by rap pings The scientific world said. i'm possible. and made q great ado about it. but they began to investigate and found many things occurring which could not be explained by science. Today the leading papers and maga- zines are full of articles. some even showing photos of spirits. And many persons of note are studying 1t. Many prominent persons have de- clared in favor of it. among them Sir William Crooks. of England. He is the inventor of the tube which made the X-ray possible, and is de- clared to be the greatest chemist of the age, by the press of Great Britain, France and America.
 Camille Flammarion. French man. and recognized as the great est astronomer of the age. has long since declared open belief in spirit ualism. and is glad his fellow scien- lists are Investigating it.
 "The following I clipped from a magazine. In fact, there are now in all the world but one or two scien- lists of first rank who deny the actual probability of the future life. while large proportion claim that that life has been actually proved by the occurring phenomena of spirit ualism.' Beloved. God says. regard not them that have familiar spirits. and in Lev. 20:6 He says He will set His face against that soul that seeks familiar spirits and wizards.
 What is the power behind the medium? I answer. Satan. He is the head of the kingdom of darkness, and is the object of human worship Jehovah executed judgment upon the gods of Egypt. Ex.- 12:12.. and the gentiles sacrifice to demons 1 Cor. 10 2O-2L. GentfIes not only worship demons but demons possess human beings. Example, witch of Endor. the Philippian damsel Read Dr. Nevin's book. Demon Possession and you will see that it is a present. day evil.
 At this point MT. Forman read several testimonies of persons who had given up spiritualism. saying it was of the devil
 Beloved. God warns us against these evils Deut. 1s:9-13. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God Avoid all such things as fire worship, divination, observer of times, witch. consulter of familiar spirits. wizards, etc. God gives the reason for avoiding these evils. saying the nations before theg did these evils and for that He drove the mout of the land. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. Our trust is in Christ and not in spirits. He that spared not His son but delivered him up for us all. how shall He not with him also freely give us all things"
