Advancement in Spiritualism
By Editor
THE World's Advance-Thought thus patronizingly notices the progress of a prominent "divine:"— "The Christian Union, edited by the Rev. Lyman Abbott, repudiates the doctrine of the resurrection of the body as 'inconsistent with Scripture, antagonistic to science, and a product of a Pagan and materialistic habit of thought.' If the Reverend Abbott would get hold of a file of the paper edited by Andrew Jackson Davis twenty-five or thirty years ago, he could pick up a good many such views that were held by the last generation of spiritual Spiritualists, and that the spiritual Spiritualists of the present consider too well established to be live subjects for discussion." It must be encouraging to "the leaders of Christian thought" to be assured by the very "spiritual Spiritualists" that they are making advancement in the spiritualness of Spiritualism.
