,SPlRITISM 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
