The impression upon the people was powerful; so much so, that our Spiritualist's meetings were a failure, and he left for a more favorable field. Some think that Spiritualism is about dead, but that is a grave mistake. It has only wrapped itself in a moral, religious cloak, in order the more effectually to deceive. A letter published in the PROGRESSIVE THINKER, says there are at least sixty thousand Spiritualists in San Francisco, or people who lean in that direction. The writer says,
"In addition to our mediums' meetings, we have a very successful children's progressive lyceum, conducted every Sunday forenoon. From one hundred to one hundred fifty young children and middle-aged ladies and gentlemen participate in its exercises. There are a great many private circles held every night in the week, in different portions of the city, all of which are largely attended. The greatest work now being done is in the churches. Spiritism is shaking the sacred edifices to their very foundations,"--- ABRIDGED FROM THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, DEC. 28, 1891, OAKLAND, CAL.

The false prophets will yet do their signs and wonders in the name of Christ and among his professed people. Matt. 24: 5, 23, 24. Take heed lest any man deceive you by any means. We had a good interest at Ellsworth, and also at Beldenville. Although the enemy entered in, and did us damage, yet some precious souls rejoice unto this day in the truth they learned in those meetings. May the Lord keep them unto His heavenly kingdom. |
