The Nature and Tendency of Modern Spiritualism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Nature and Tendency of Modern Spiritualism This work lays no claim to literary merit, or to philosophic or scientific research. Our course has not been in that di rection. Our aim has not been to gratify a taste for such reading, but rather to make our pages useful. Nor have we aimed to please any particular class, but rather to fulfill the requirement to speak the truth in faithfulness, whether men will hear or whether they will forbear. We have written especially for the benefit of those who fear God, and tremble at his word. While we believe that in these pages is contained the only true solution of these mysterious phenomena, we would re mind the readers that eu intellectual conviction, or mere be lief of the truth, will not shield them from the power of these deceptions. Nothing short of humble obedience to the truth, walking in the Spirit of God, will shield from the spirit of error. If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Though he may be convinced of the truth, yet if the spirit of error reigns in his heart, the coming conflict will surely find him arrayed against the Lamb and his army. That you, dear reader, may be sanctified through the truth, and hid in the sure refuge in the time of trouble, is the prayer of the writer. J. H. W.
