spiritism saId 70 Be pemonism.

A most interesting little Brochure
has recently come off the press set
ting forth with Bible proofs that the
communications received by and
through Spiritist Mediums is of Demon
origin. The writer traces his sub
ject through the scriptures from the
time when certain of the holy angels
became disobedient. He proves from
the Scriptures that these fallen spirits
deal in personating the human dead,
with whose past history. spirits. though
invisible, are thoroughly acquainted
He shows that they also frequently
personate the Creator and the Re
deemer, commanding their deceived
ones to pray. do penance, etc. This,
however is merely to lead them on
and to bring them more thoroughly
under demonical control. Sometimes
by breaking down the natural barrier,
the human will they obsess their vic
tim, and rule him more or less to his
ruin-frequently sending such to the
mad house. Numerous illustrations,
Scriptural and otherwise, are given.
The price of the little book is but
ten cents; IL should be in the hands
of all interested in Spiritism or who
have friends interested therein. En-
close five two-cent stamps to the Bible
& Tract Society. II Hicks ST., Brook
