Discerning of Spirits.

MANY years ago the devoted Charlotte Elizabeth, author of “Principalities and Powers,” and other excellent works, wrote thus, “We shall soon need to exercise judgment in the discerning of spirits. The sixth vial is marked by the going forth of the three unclean devils, of whose wonder-working we are forewarned.”

Says the author of this work, “Spiritualism Condemned by the Bible,” “These spirits of demons are gathering their forces, a mighty host, imbued with their influence, strengthened by their power, and guided by their counsels, and we doubt not that the fearful crisis is at hand when these forces will be consolidated and concentrated in that place designated in the apocalyptic vision, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon, i. e., the mountain of distraction. How appropriate the admonition, ‘Behold, I come quickly!’”—Guide to Holiness.
