Hypnotism and the Devil

Prof. Edgar Lucien Larkin, in the "Examiner" of August 11, declares of hypnotism: "Mind in one brain can completely displace mind from another brain, take absolute possession, and force another person's body to do what the hypnotizer wills. Control is absolute. Hypnotic science is now being studied in every mentological school in the world." The greatest hypnotizer of all is the devil, and that accounts in part for the many strange cases of insanity and unnatural, abnormal, and horrible crimes. But neither the devil nor his agents can control you if you do not yield passively to his influences. To control man thus, is not of God.
