The Deception of Hypnotism

By Editor

Mrs. Woodward, the hypnotic evangelist, if such a term may be allowed, is now, we understand, operating in Los Angeles. She was in Oakland about three years ago. One of those who fell under her influence here predicted that a tidal wave would destroy the towns on the bay, and advised all the people to leave for higher ground. Many did leave Oakland, but the tidal wave did not come. If people would read God's word, they would not be deceived by such delusions. To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. The real consecrated student of the word of God will not be deceived.
