Spiritual Obituaries.

The following paragraphs are cut from the columns of the Spiritual Age; and as many of the readers of the Review are probably not provided with Spiritual literature, it is given for their consideration. We see by reading this, what the tendency of the immortal-soul-dogma is. It leads men to entertain the most ludicrous views of God's dealings with his children, and also of the hope of a future life. It has completely paved the way for the Spiritual Philosophy, and is leading most of the world to cry, Peace, peace, when they should lift up their voice like a trumpet, and show the house of Israel their transgressions and sins.

But after all, what's the use of blaming Spiritualists too much for their incongruous notions? Their whole scheme is 'rooted and grounded' in these egregious errors which have long been taught and fostered by the Orthodox(?) church. And how fast is this latter-day delusion spreading among all ranks and classes; God is dishonored, the Devil is glorified, and we may soon expect the world, as a mass, will be 'led captive by him at his will.' So says Scripture, and so we believe. G. W. A.
