Marriage, According to Spiritualism.
By James White
A few days since, I was told in conversation that the spiritualists did not deny or oppose marriage—that this charge they denied. My answer was that they do not oppose what they call marriage, but they do oppose what others call marriage. To show that my statement was correct, and that the above denial is but an evasion, I copy the following paragraph from the “Creed” published in the last number of Hull’s Crucible. “CONCERNING MARRIAGE.—We believe that true marriage is the union of two souls, the blending of two natures; that where this soul-blending does not obtain, no priest can make men and women husbands and wives; that where it does obtain, no priests are needed to make men and women husbands and wives; that marriage lasts while the blending lasts, and no longer; when the blending ceases, the law of divorce steps in and does its work without the aid of judges or jury.”
