Synopsis

Excerpt from Who Are These Spiritualists, and What Has Spiritualism Done for the World? Over the porral of the Temple of Sais, said Iamblicus, "was inscribed these words, - 'I am all that has been, and shall be; and my peplum, or vail, no mortal hath yet withdrawn." "Man dieth, wasteth away, giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" was an Old Testament writer's inquiry. The thought of immortality was ever before the minds of the ancients, and measurably unanswered. They saw through a glass darkly; but thanks to God and the good angels, Spiritualism has lifted and drawn aside that 'vail, ' demonstrating a future, conscious existence, and thereby intimately acquainting us with the conditions and occupations of those whose bodies are wasting away beneath the grasses and the weeping willows of the valley. "Have any of the scribes and the Pharisees believed on Him," the Nazarene? was the common question in the city of Jerusalem, in Galilee, and the regions beyond Jordan in the early days of that inspired man and martyr of Palestine. Human nature, whether Turanian, Semitic or Aryanic, is the same in all ages. The masses seek fame, pelf, power. The ever-recurring question of this materialistic generation is not - is this demonstrated fact of a future life true - is this newly conceived truth that invisible intelligences exist and communicate with us really true? - but, is it respectable, is it popular, have the churches - have the Pharisees of fashion accepted it? Do the rich and aristrocatic patronize it? Such is largely the poor, piteous obliquity of to-day's mental and religious condition.
