DOES THE BIBLE CONDEMN SPIRITUALISM? by S. J. HICKSON,
London: C. J. Farnecombe & Sons Ltd., 30 Imperial Buildings, Ludgate Circus. Price, 3d.; by post, 3½d.

When it is remembered that modern spiritualism, which began in 1848, had in 1894 a following of 60 millions throughout the

world which has considerably increased since then it will be at once recognised what a serious menace its unscriptural tenets are to the truth of the Scriptures. Things have not been going too well with Spiritualism of late. If the exposures in And After are not faked then a lurid light has been thrown on the tricks of certain mediums. We have not seen the comments of the organ of Spiritualism—the Two Worlds—on the above book but we presume that like Lady Conan Doyle it will not mince matters for the tricksters that duped so many. Those of our readers who wish to have the errors of Spiritualism combated by the only sure weapon—arguments from Scripture—will do well to purchase this pamphlet.
