The Seybert Commission on Spiritualism
By Editor
THE "Seybert Commission" that has been investigating Spiritualism for some time, has finished its labors, and reports that Spiritualism is wholly a fraud. The members say that they had the best mediums in the world before them, and that afterwards they had a professional juggler, who did everything that the mediums did. This decision will satisfy a few people; but those who know anything of Spiritualism, whether they believe it or not, will have little regard for it. A skillful general will always conceal his movements, and no doubt Satan is pleased to have "scientific" men thus pronounce Spiritualism a fraud, so that people may still continue blind as to what Spiritualism really is, and may fall into its snare even while they are denouncing it. There is only one way to successfully investigate Spiritualism and that is with the Bible as a guide. The "investigation" conducted by the "Seybert Commission" seems to have been a very tame affair, but the very best "scientific" investigation will never amount to anything in explaining the phenomena, for the simple reason that the devil is more acute than any scientists, and can fool them every time.
