SPIRITISM SAID
TO BE DEMONISM

A most interesting little brochure
has recently come off the press setting
forth with Bible proofs that the com
munications received by and through
Spiritist Mediums Is of Demon origin.
The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when
certain of the holy angels became dis.
obedient. He proves from the Scrip
lures that these fallen spirits per.
senate the human dead. with whose
past history, spirits. though invisible.
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently person.
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray, do penance, etc. This, however,
Is merely to lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni'
acal control. Sometimes by breaking
down the natural barrier, the human
will. they possess their victim, and rule
him more or less to his ruin-frequent-
ly sending such to the mad-house.
Numerous illustrations. Scriptural and
otherwise. are given. The price Of the
little book is but five cents: 1t should
be in the hands of all interested In
Spiritism or who have friends inter
ested therein. Enclose stamps to the

The other royal couple whose af.

The Lords dealings with Israel show
us that justice. love, mercy, loyalty to
God and to principle are in the Divine
estimation the highest qualities, and
their violation the most serious crime
II we have not looked thus at matters
it behooves us to change our view
point and to take the Almighty's.
This murmuring against the Lord
was concerning the mama, for which
at first the people had been very thank
full. They allowed their minds to be-
come so vexed that they wept like chill
dren at the thought Of the fleshpots of
Egypt, and murmured In desiring to re-
turn to the old conditions. Little did
they comprehend the situation. Had
they returned to bondage, even after
a years freedom. their lot would have
seemed more wretched than before.
Moses Too Greatly Burdened.
The result of this murmuring was
severe upon Moses. He was the peo-
pies representative before the Lord.
and the Lords representative before
the people. Heart-broken, he sought
the Lord. saying that the burden was
too heavy for him to bear.
Then it was that God directed the
institution Of the Jewish Sanhedrin-
seventy Elders, to be the court of
judges, responsible to the people. to
deal with and to counsel them. While
Moses remained head Of the nation. the
seventy shared his responsibility.
BY Divine direction Moses made out
the list Of these Elders. and requested
All but two came. There God honor
ed Moses as the head Of the nation, and
then placed share Of the responsible
ity upon the 20. This was indicated by
their prophesying. Even the two who
remained in the Camp prophesied.
Quail In Over supply.
God then sent word to Israel through
Moses that he was about to send them
thirty-days supply Of flesh, such as
they had murmured for. Under the
Lords providence. strong wind drove
thousands of quail to the vicinity of
the Camp. Two days and nights the
people gathered quail.
Agnostics have questioned this state
ment. thinking it a declaration that
birds fell in a solid mass two cubits
high. The proper thought is that the
birds, driven across the sea, We're so
fatigued that they flew low, about two
cubits three feet above the ground,
where they could be easily caught.

unthankful to cut themselves Off from
further opportunity for murmurins.
The happiest mental condition con
ceivable is that which is satisfied with
Gods appointments. The spirit Of dis
content looks away from the Heavenly
