The Best A u t o Insurance For Non-DrinkingDrivers

C U L T S

C R I T I Q U E by Betty Bruechert A r e a d e r a s k s : “ H o w many Spir­ itualists are there in the U.S.? Where did this cult originate and do they still hold seances? What do they teach about salvation?” I could not obtain any later figures than 1956 which show 176,042 mem­ bers, 422 churches, and 487 clergy (mostly women) in the three groups of International General Assembly of Spiritualists, National Spiritual Al­ liance, and National Spiritual Asso­ ciation of Churches. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in Spiritualism, and doubtless the fig­ ures are larger now. At present there is much discussion of parapsychology (so-called “ extra sensory percep­ tion” ). Spiritualism (actually, more cor­ rectly Spiritism) began in the U. S. at the J. D. Fox home of Hydesville, N. Y. where in 1848 psychic pheno­ mena were reported, and to which crowds flocked. Subsequently, the Fox Sisters, Margaret and Kate, became mediums, moved to Rochester, con­ ducted seances in which they claimed to contact the discamate relatives of thousands. Writings, such as Davis’s “ Principles of Nature,” books by Tut­ tle, Redmond, and others, and a maga­ zine entitled “ Banner of Light” pub­ licized the cult and took it up. Psychic manifestations became so pop­ ular and profitable that psychical re­ search societies were organized, both in the U. S. and Britain, and their investigations from time to time have exposed many fraudulent practices of mediums. The darkness of the seance is sig­ nificant, for no true spiritual light is to be found in Spiritualism, which denies the authority of the Bible and contains no teaching of a personal God, the atonement of Christ, a Sav­ iour from sin, or a literal heaven or hell. Its “ salvation” is pantheistic, an absorption into a universal, “ infinite intelligence.” Spiritism is forbidden by God in Deut. 18:10-12 (and other Scriptures): “There shall not be found among you any one . . . that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord.”

“Highway safety history shows that non-drinking drivers are safer drivers—they have fewer accidents, less serious accidents. “You deserve the praises of all who ride the highways.
