The Spread of Modern Spiritism

Some of the editors of religious papers are rejoicing over the idea that Spiritism is on the wane. They think it is dying out. This may be true, to some extent, of Spiritism in the particular form in which it appeared half a century ago. The doctrines of Spiritism are much more diversified than they were. They cover a much wider area, adapting themselves more fully to the varied fancies of different individuals. It is in this broader field of varied forms of mysticism that we are to look for Spiritism to-day; and if we look there, we find it spreading with alarming rapidity.
