Overview

Excerpt from Spiritism: A Study of Its Phenomena and Religious Teachings T has been truthfully said that the dangers to true Christianity which operate through the new Spiritist propaganda do not lie in the force and reasonableness of its claims, but in the state of the public mind, which, as we all know, is but too receptive just now Of a fascinating form of thought of this kind; The time is propitious for the preachers of com munion with the dead. Five years have filled the world with mourners. The sense of loss still oppresses them, and the yearning to recall the lost is still poignant. Thousands of such people will listen to an accomplished gentleman like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the 'will to believe his teaching that their lost sons can and will speak to them from their dwelling-places in happier Spheres. The genuine Christian has learned to say in his bereavement: Thy will be done! The believing dead, he knows, are in the presence of their Savior. But the mourner who has no true Christian faith has little other consolation than to nurse his grief. To such the claims of Spiritism, with its promise of con tinued communication with the dead, offer a solace which some of them do not refuse.
