New Theology and Spiritualism
By Editor
As WAS to be expected, the Andover professors who have been teaching the "new theology," that the probation of man does not cease at death, have the sympathy of all Spiritualists. The "new theology" is, in fact, only one form of Spiritualism, and its advocates will shortly find in that ism ample scope for the exercise of their talents. It should be understood that the Andover professors are not being persecuted for their "advanced" ideas. The simple fact is that they have agreed, as a condition of having a position in the college, to teach in harmony with certain doctrines, and have violated their agreement. Probably some of the theories which they agreed to teach are as unscriptural as is their new departure, still that does not alter the fact that they have broken their pledge. But notwithstanding the strictness of Andover rules, we venture the prediction that both accusers and accused will erelong be standing together again in the fold of Spiritualism.
