Necromancy, Demonology, Fascination, &c

NECROMANCY, DEMONOLOGY, FASCINATION, &c. — Such was the programme of an entertainment given in this village in the evening following last Sabbath. We are not surprised at performances in Necromancy, Demonology, Witchcraft, &c., in these days of demons and spiritual delusions; but our attention was arrested by the following announcement of the advertisement: "There is nothing connected with these entertainments to offend the most fastidious, scrupulous, or religious!" What kind of a religion, thought we, must that be which would not be offended at exhibitions of necromancy, &c.? Perhaps the popular religion of the present day would not be; for the performer claimed to have "thousands of testimonials from the clergy" to that effect. But is that a Bible religion? Is there nothing in the Bible against these things? If you are not already certain, search and see. We are happy in believing that there are yet a few in the land who adhere to the Bible as their text book, and are offended at anything that outrages its spirit and principles.
