Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Eventful Nights, or the Fallibility of "Spriritualism" Exposed
Here was room for prophets and priests, with no need of anointing or consecration; for the dogma or delusion which holds that all religious revelation is alike divine inspi ration, and that the rant and imbecility of whatever me dium is as much from God as the utterance of Moses and the prophets - that A. Jackson Davis's N ature's Divine Revelations is good as the Bible, and Davis him self as mucha God-chosen seer as Elisha; or Harris, with his rambling, amatory f' Epics, as God-inspired as David or Isaiah - such a delusion knows and cares for no anther ity but the impulse of its votaries, and has no standard of truth or morality, but such as is derived from its 'ime diums - each medium having peculiar crotchets of faith and morality of his own. As set forth in the parable, m the Word of God, when Dives asked that Lazarus might be sent back to earth to warn the living, the reply was: They have Moses and the prophets; if they believe not these, neither would they believe though one arose from the dead. But modern spiritualism ignores Moses and the prophets, and the whole Bible, as circumstance or con venience requires.
