tempted to deceive humaHIty-reprc-
senting themselves as human beings
who have died and who desire to com
municate with their friends. And they
attempt to do so through spirit me
dlums. This is their practice from of

control It. The height of their ambi-
ton and success is to fully dominate
the human will, so that they may use
the human body as their own flesh, as

spirits gaining possession of the one
personality and attempting TO use the
same brains and body. 1t Is estimated
that one-half OF all who are In insane
asylums are merely victims of spirit
obsession The great remedy against
all this is the Truth of Gods Word.
Those who accept that cannot be de-
ceived. But the masses of mankind
are being deceived. The Scripture

the evil spirits.

number have been delivered from their
awful position of acting as tools OF
