New Wheaton College Plan offers you these distinctive benefits: a generous income for life substantial tax savings gift not subject to capital gains tax and another important plus*

CULTS CRITIQUE by Betty Bruechert S INCE IT w a s erected on West 122nd Street in New York in memory of that Bible-believing Baptist, Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, the Riverside Church has had many strange mes­ sages proclaimed within its walls. The recent holiday season was no ex­ ception when the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship whose purpose is “ to in­ terpret to the churches the rising tide o f interest in mystical, psychical and para-normal experiences” conducted an all-day conference there. The sub­ ject was dreams, visions, ghosts, ESP and related subjects. What made it startling was that the meetings were designed for and attended by teen­ agers, not o f the “ hippie” variety, but bright, n e a tly -d re s se d , well- combed, good-mannered young peo­ ple. The main speaker w a s psychic Hugh Lynn Cayce, son o f the now deceased famous “ sleeping seer,” Ed­ gar Cayce, who promoted ESP and other psychic phenomena fo r nearly fifty years. Mr. Cayce is executive secretary for the Association fo r Re­ search and Enlightenment in V ir­ ginia Beach. He emphasized the re­ lationship o f teenagers to polter­ geists, the so-called noisy, mischiev­ ous ghosts who purportedly are re­ sponsible for mysterious rappings and weird noises, strange movements o f furniture, breakage o f crockery and the like. All o f this is reminiscent o f the sensation caused back in 1848 by the young Fox sisters o f Hyde- ville, N.Y. whose home was said to be visited by t h e s e “ swinging ghosts.” Later as spiritist mediums, the Fox sisters gave great impetus to the rise o f spiritism in the U.S. Mr. Cayce also claims that at the present time a very young boy is receiving messages from deceased relatives and will become one o f “ the great psychics o f all time.” He called attention to the Russians’ obsession with ESP and our country’s present investigation o f the subject. The teenagers listened with rapt atten­ tion, taking notes enthusiastically. All o f this is frightening to God’s people who see it as part o f the con­ ditioning o f the whole world for the “ lying wonders” o f antichrist during the tribulation. We must redouble our efforts to win our young people to Christ before Satan takes them over — body, mind and spirit. Everywhere they are seeking something — what they need is a Saviour!
