from intimations which are given in the Scriptures, and facts which have come under the observation of many. It is commonly known that spiritualistic mediums, when possessed by their familiar spirit, have a tremendous drain upon their vitality. When God's servants are possessed by His Spirit, it gives them strength. In the records which have come down to us through the Scriptures, angels have invariably strengthened God's servants. Evil angels sap the vitality and power and intellect of those whom they possess. The one is a channel of life, the other becomes a death-leech, so to speak, which draws life from those whom they possess. During the thousand years, it seems clear from Isaiah 34, there will be animal life upon the earth. It is not until the end of the thousand years that the earth is entirely wrapped in flame. Whether these evil spirits, or demons, depend upon the animals, or whether they have some other means of sustenance during that period, we do not know. Yes, we believe that these spirits can assume different forms; that notwithstanding all the deception and humbuggery there is in Spiritualism, there is such a thing as materialization, by which these spirits appear as men or women. Our only hope of being saved from these deceptions is in the truth of God's Word.
