SPIRITUALISM, DEFINITION
Text: In a mediumistic trance discourse reported in the BANNER of LIGHT Newspaper, April 3, 1886, said: "The Great reformer of the world is Spiritualism. When modern Spiritualism made it's appearance [1840], it said in so many words. I come to reform the world, Spiritualism came to put the ax at the root of the tree of human evil, it came to decide upon the most important and vital thing connected with existence; i.e., Is man only evanescent, material, earthly being, or is he immortal?... Spiritualism came to reform death, to resolve it into life; came to reform fear, to resolve it into trust and knowledge; came to reform the darkness which rests upon humanity concerning the nature of man's existence." In the same paper, April 6th 1887, was given the following prediction of the future of Spiritualism:-- "Modern Spiritualism will grow, and deepen, and broaden, and strengthen, until all false creeds and dogmas shall be swept from the earth -- when faith shall be buried in knowledge, when war shall be known no more, when universal brotherhood shall prevail to bless mankind." "They who feel that force called love, which on higher planes is known as sympathy, thrill with waves of force which are already strong augmenting them or increasing their intensity. They who indulge such sentiments and encourage such forces may stop the falling hand on evil sped."
