DECEPTION.

By Isaac Sanborn

"Because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion." 2 Thess. ii, 10.
While at Harrison, yesterday (Oct. 20), by invitation I attended a Spiritual lecture in the hall. There were about two hundred people there who in July helped to throng our tent, where they heard for five weeks the great truth of the third angel's message, but neglected it; and many of them are now drinking down Spiritualism, the great deception. Their fearful reward is certain—"that they may be damned." 2 Thess. ii, 12.
I spent one hour in asking the medium questions after she got through, which seemed to satisfy many that much of what they had been called upon by the medium to believe as truth, was what Paul calls the doctrine of devils [1 Tim. iv, 1], which he said many would give heed to in the last days. This I saw fulfilled in the above mentioned meeting.
O God, deliver thy people from these satanic delusions in these last days, is our prayer.
