must still he our main guide, as suited to our present condition as flesh and blood.” This, from a spiritualist, may serve to deter some from being caught in the snare who refuse to be guided by the Word of God. Dark Seances. The following reference to spiritual ism occurs in “ The People’s Bible,” in Dr. Parker’s note on Eutychus: “ Chris tianity has no dark seances; Christian ity has no dark meetings, no closed shutters and drawn curtains, and en forced and mysterious silencings; Christianity is not a piece of magic. ‘Light the lamp,’ it says; ‘throw back the shutters, and let the sun come in’. This thing was not done in a corner.” CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Flowery Beds of Ease. M. E. Wilson says: “ One of the keenest observers of America has made the remark that the reason so many isms are constantly springing up is be cause the old gospel is so hard to live. People are looking for a comfortable life here and an easy way to heaven. They are scanning earth and sky for a royal road. The fight with sin which the gospel demands is a fierce and bit ter fight and many men and women are anxiously searching for a way of es cape, desiring to be carried to the skies on flowery .beds of ease.

In ancient civiliza tions the fruit of spiritism was (1) in fidelity, (2) immorality, (3) insanity. The greatest minds that, have endorsed it have been destroyed by it. One of Canada’s greatest scientists who en dorsed it two years ago is today in an insane asylum. There is nothing in modern spiritualism that warrants the least belief that it can ever produce anything but what it always has pro duced.” The Pernicious Policy. Dr. F. E. Marsh recently wrote: “ The most pernicious and dreadful policy of spiritism is that it seeks to find an iden tity between its error and Christianity. For instance, Conan Doyle tells us, ‘Christ sought His disciples and called them because of psychic power between them,’ and that Christ as the greatest exponent of that power who has ever appeared on earth, desired to surround Himself with others who possessed it in lesser degree.” A Spiritualist Warns. A spiritualist— one of the leaders in South Africa— closes a letter published in a daily paper with the following warning: “ I prescribe the utmost cau tion and restraint in dabbling with such matters, owing to the very mixed nature of the denizens and the unrelia bility of so much o f , the purported knowledge filtering through such chan nels. There are, moreover, positive risks and dangers. The ordinary senses
