courts, Selling millions of people to make

this world and the next, leads mo to preach
this sermon.
Trouble to the right of him and trouble to
tbelcft of him, Saul knew not what to do.
Asa last resort, he concluded to suck out a
spiritual medium, or a witch, or anything
that you please to call her—at any rate, a
woman who had communication with the
spirits of the eternal world. It was a very
difficult thing to do, for Saul had either slain
allthe witches or comp-lint them to stop
, busimm. Ascrvnnt one day said to King
Saul: “I know of aspirituul medium down
at the village of En—dor." “Do you?" said the
king. Eight falls. Saul, putting off his
kingly robesumdputting'on the dress of a
plain citizen, with two servants, goes out to
hunt up this spiritual medium. It was no
eesything for Saul to disguise himself, for
thetallest people in the country only came
up to his shoulder, and I think from the
h of the man and the way he
bore himself, he) must have been
well proportioned. It must have been a
frlditful thing to see a man walking
alouginthe night eight or nine feet high.
I suppose, as the people saw him may, they
said: “Whoisthat? He is {is fail as the
king"-bnvingnoidca that. in such a plain
dross there really way passing the king.
Saul and his servants after awhile reach the
village, and they say: “I wonder if this is
the house;" and thcylooh in and see the
haggard, wcird and sllrivclcd up spiritual
medium sitting by the light, and on the ta-
ble sculptured images, and divining rods,
and poisonous ill-l'fls, and bottles, and vases.
They say: "Yes, this must be the place."
One loud rap brings the woman to the door;
and as she stands there, holding the candle
or lump aim-e her head and peering out into

Snnl says: “Bring up Samuel." That was
the prophet who had died a little while be-

the people said, "we have got something
new in this country; it is a new religion.”
Uh no, my friends. Thousands of years ago
we find in our text a spiritualistic seauce.
Nothing in the spiritualistic circles of our
day has been more strange, mysterious and
wonderful than things which have been new
in the past centuries of the world. In allthe
ages there have been aecromuncers, those
who consult with the spirits of the departed;
charmers, those who put their subject! in a
numeric state; comment, those who by tak—
ing poisonous drugs me everything and hear
everything and tell everything; dmmen,
people who in their sleeping momenta caneee
the f nturo world and hold consultation with
spirits; astrologers, who wild reed a new
dispensation in the stars; cxpcrtsinpalmis-
try, whocantell bythe lineeinthepalmof
your hand your origin and your history.
From a cave on Mount Pernawus, we are
told, them was an exhalation that intoxicated
the sheep and goats that came anywhm
near it, and a shepherd approaching
it was thrown by that exhalation
into ancxcitement in which he could foretell
future event: and hold consultation with the
spiritual world. Yea, before tho time of
Chriatthe Brabmins went through all the
table moving, all the furniture excitement,
which thespirits have exploited in our day; ‘
precisely the sumo thing over and over
again, under the manipulation: of the Brah-
mins. Now do you say that Bpiritnalism is
different from these! I answer, all these
delusions I have mentioned belong to the
multifamily. They are exhumations from
the amen world. What does God think of
all these delusions? llc thinks so scvercly of
them that he never speaks of them but with
livid thundem of indignation. lle auys:
“I will be a swift witness against
the sorcerer." He says: “Thou uhalt not
suffer a witch to live." And last you might
make some important distinction between
Spiritualism and witchcraft, God says, in so
many words: ”There shall not be among
you a consultcr of familiar spirits, or
wizard, or accronmncer; for they that do
these things are an abomination to the Lord."
And he says again: “The soul of those who
seek after such as have familiar spirits, and
who go whoring after them, I will act myself
againstthem,andhe shall be cut off from
among his people.” The Lord Almighty, in
ascore of passages, which I have not now
time to quote, utters his indignation against
all this great family of delusions. After that

Still further we learn from this text how
it is that people come to fall into Spiritualisui.
Saul had enough troublcto kill ton men. He
did not know where to go for relief. After
awhile be resolved to go and see the witch of
En-dor. He expected that somehow she
would afford him relief. It was his trouble
that drove him there. And! hnvcto tell
you now that Spiritualism finds its victims in
the troubled, the bankrupt. the sick, the
bereft. You lose your watch, and you go to
the fortune tollcrto find where it is. You
lose a friend, you want the spiritual world
opened so that you may have communication
with him. In a highly wrought, nervous
and diseased state of mind, you go and put
yourself in that communication. That is
why 1 hate Spiritualism. it takes advan-
“'°" " «no in :- WI]. of bud-um
which may come upon us at any time.
We lose a friend. The trial is keen, sharp,
suffocating, almost maddening. If we could
marshal a host, and storm the eternal world,
and recapture our loved one. the host would
soon be marshaled. The house is so lonely.
The world is no dark. The separation is so
Womble.
But Spiritualism says: "We will open the
future world, and your loved one can come
back and talk to you" Though we may not
hear his voice, we mayhear the rap of his
hand. So,clcar tho table. Sit down. Put
your hands on the table. Bo very quiet.
Five minutes gone. Ten minutes. No mo-
tion of the table. No response from the
future world. Twenty minutes. Thirty
minutes. Nervous excitement all the time
increasing. Forty minutes. The table shiv-
as. Two rape from the future world. The
letters of the alphabet are called over. The
departed friend's name is John. At the pro-
nunciation of the krtter “J,” two rape. At
the pronunciation of the letter “0," two
At the pronunciation of the letter
“If," two raps. At the pronunciation of the
letter “N," two rape. There you have the
whole name spelled out. J-o-h-n, John.
Now, the spirit being prwent, you any:
“John, are you happy?" Two raps give-n
affirmative answer. Pretty soon the hand of
the medium beginsto twitch and tomund
begins to write out, after paper and ink are
furnished, a mmsege from the eternal wwld.
What is remarkable, the departed
spirit, although it has been amid the
illuminationsof heaven, cannot spell-u wall
uitusedto. It has lost all grammatical
accuracy and cannot writeas distinctly. I
received a letter through a medium once. I
lent it back. I said: “Just please tell thoae
ghosts they had better go to school and get
improved in their orthography.” Now,“
think of spirits, that the Bible rcpt-canker

You have all neon strange and unaccount—
able things in the night. Almost every man
has at some time had a touch of hallucina-
tion. Bornetimeagomftcrlhud beeuover-

presidentof one of the pronuneut college-
uetridethefoot of the bed, while be de-
manded ofine a loan of five cents! When I
awakened I had no idea it was anything
supernatural. And I have to advise you, if
you hear and see strange things at night. to
stop eating hot mince pie and take a dose of
bilious medicine. It is an outraged physical
organism, enough to deceive the very elect
after rundown, and docs nearly all its work
in the night. The witch of Eu—dor held her
aennccs at night; so do all the witches.
Away with this religion of smoke!
Still further: I leernfrom my text that
Spiritualisiu isdoom and dmfh to its disci-
ples. King Saul thought that he would get
help from the “lnedium;" but the first thing
that he sees makes him swoon away, and no
sooner was he noun-ileum than he is told he
must die. Spiritualism is doom and death to
every one that yields to it. lt ruins the body.
Look in upon an audience of Spiritualiste.
Cadnvcrous. Wink. Nervous. Exhausted.
Hands clnmmy and cold. Nothing prosper!
but long hair—soft marshes yielding rank

health. Its disciples are ever hearing start-
ling news from the other world. Strange
beings crossing the room in white. Table

dance. Voices sepulchral and ominous. Be-
wildcred with rape. 1 never knew a con—
firmed Spiritualist whohadahealthy nervous
system. It is incipient epilepsy and cuta-
lcpsy. Destroy your nervous system and you
might as well be dead. I have noticed
that people whoare hearing rape from the
future world have but little strength left to
beerthehnrdralw of this world. It is an
awful thing to trifle with one‘s nervous'
system. It is so delicate—it is so far roach—
ing~its demngomeuts are so terrible. Oct
the nervous system a jungle, and so far as
your body and soul are concerned, the whole
universe is a jungle. Better in our ignorance

First. it makeoamaaaquarterofeuinfidel;
thenitmakes him half an infidel; than it
makes him whole infidel. The whobeymnn,
as I conceive it, is founded on the inmfllcieucy
ofthord of God In a revelation. God
tenths Bible is «tough fcr you to know
abutthe future world. You lay it in not
enough, and there is where you and the Lord
differ. You clear the table, you than aside
the Bible, you put your hand onthetable,
and say: “Now let spirit! of the future
world come and tell me eormthing the Bible
but not told me." And although the
Scriptures my, “Add thou not unto his
words lest he roprovo thee, and thou be
found aliar," you risk it,and say: “Come
back, spirit of my departed father; come
back, spirit of my departed mother, of my
companions, of my little child, and tell me
wine things I don’t know about you and
about the unseen world." If God is ever
slapped square in the face, it in when a spir-
itual medium puts down her hand on the
table, invoking spirits departed to make a
revolution. God has told you all you ought
to know, and how dare you be prying into
that which is none of your bushes. You
cannot keep the Bible in one hand and Spirit-
ualisin in the other. One or the other will
slip out of your grasp, depend upon it.
Bpiritnalism is adverse to the Bible in the
fact that it hue in these last days called from
the future world Christian men to testify
against Christianity. Its mediums call back
Lorenzo Dow, the celebrated evangelist, and
Lorenzo Dow testifies that Christians are
idolntoru Spiritualirm calls back Tom Payne,
and he testifies that be is stopping in the
same house in heaven with John Bunyan.
They call back John Wesley, and he testifies
against the Christian religion, which be all
hinlifcgloriously preached. Andrewdackeen
Davis, the greatest of all the Spiritualista,
comes to the front and declares that the New
Testament is but “the dismal echo of a bar’
buric age," and the Bible only “one of the
pen and ink relics of Christianity.” They
attempt to substitute the writings of Sweden-
borg and Andrew Jackson Davis and other
religiouulnlderdash in the place of this old
Bible. I have in my house a book whlcn was
used in this very city in the public service
of Spiritunlhits. It is well worn with much
service. I open that book, and it says:
“What is our baptism! Answer: Frequent
ablutions of water. What is our inspiration!
Plenty of frcsh air and sunlight. What is
our praycrl Abundant physical exercise.
What is our love feast! A clear conscience
and round sleep." And 1 find from the same
book that the chief item in their public wor-
ship is gymnastic cxcrciae,and that when-
ever thcy want to rouse up their souls to
a very high pitch of devotion they sing,
page (‘5; "The night has gathered up her
moonlit fringes," or page 16: “Come to
the womls, heigho!" You any you are not

Don‘t you think it would strengthen Chris-
tiamt There area great many Materialism

To that l wwer, in the ringing words of the
l Son of God: “If they believe not Moses and
the prophets, neither will they be persuaded
through one rue from the dead."
Now I believe, under God, that this cannon
will save many from diagram-nit "4

“Secret things belong unto the Lord our

voice from the spirit world! But before you

you to promise me you will be satisfied
