Spiritualism’s Jewel and Toad

By Editor

The editor of the Religious Telescope had an interview with Joseph Cook, recently, in which the subject of Spiritualism was referred to, and in answer to a question upon its scientific character Mr. Cook said: "It probably has a jewel in it, but it is in a toad's head; the jewel is exceedingly small, and the toad very large and slimy, and one could hardly get at the jewel without getting some slime on his hands." As a religion he boldly declares Spiritualism to be diabolical.

We have been watching that toad closely for a number of years, but have never seen the jewel.
