THIS is a thorough expose of the system of Spiritualism. The author has carefully studied the subject, and has given such copious extracts from a large library of Spiritualist publications, as to fully condemn them in their teachings and in their practices, by their own testimony. It is also shown from the prophetic scriptures that Spiritualism is one of the most impressive signs of the times. 184 pp. Price, 20 cents.
