Spiritism and Psychic Phenomena
By Editor
We shall have more to say in future numbers concerning the subject of Spiritism or "psychic phenomena," as it is usually called in these scientific days. Never was the world more stirred over this matter than at the present time. It is less than a generation ago that it was regarded by most scientists as either a popular fad or a base superstition. Not so at the present time. Scientific men have been testing it, and while they have found more or less fraud connected with public manifestations, they have also found that which has confounded all their science, and led many to accept these phenomena as true manifestations of spirit existence—yea, spirits of the dead. All sorts of hypothesis have been presented by others, such as "telepathy," "astral body," "subconscious self," and a half dozen other meaningful and meaningless terms, and yet all seem to be unwilling to accept the hypothesis given in God's word. It is really more than a hypothesis there. The Lord has revealed to us just what these phenomena are, and just what the source is; and He has predicted just what the world is now seeing, but of this more hereafter.
