[Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.J
Washington, Feb. 25.—lu this dis
course Dr. Talmage discusses a theme
never more under exploration than at
this time and warns people against
what lie calls a religion of ghosts;
text, I Samuel xxviii, 7: “Behold, there
is a woman that hath a familiar spirit
at Eu-dor. And Saul disguised him
self and put ou other raiment, and lie
went, and two men with him, and they
came to the woman by night.”
Trouble to the right of him and trou
ble to the left of him, Saul knew not
what to do. As n last resort he con
cluded to seek out a spiruiual medium
or a witch or anything that you please
to call her—a woman who had com
munication with the spirits of the eter
nal world. It was a very difficult thiug
to do, for Saul had either sluiu all the
witches or compelled them to stop
business. A servant one day said to
King Saul, “I kuow of a spiritual me
dium down at the village of Eu-dor.”
“Do you?” said the king. Night falls.
Saul, putting off his kingly robc*s and
putting on the dress of a plain citizen,
with two servants, goes out to hunt up
this medium.
Saul and his servants after awhile
reached the village, and they say, “I
wonder if this is the house.” and they
look in, and they see the haggard,
weird and shriveled up spiritual me
dium sitting by the light and on the
table sculptured images uud diviuiug
rods and poisonous herbs and bottles
and vases. They say, “Yes, this must
be the place.” One loud rail brings
the woman to the door, aud as she
stands there, holding the caudle or
lamp above her bend and peering out
Into the darkness, she says, “Who is
here?” The tall king informs her that
ho lias come to have his fortune told.
When she hears that, she trembles and
almost drops the light, for she knows
there is no chance for a fortune teller
or spiritual medium in all the laud.
But Saul having sworn that no harm
shall come to her, she says, “Well,
Mho shall I bring up from the dead?”
Saul says, “Bring up Samuel.” That
was the prophet M’ho had died a little
while before. I see her waving a wand,
or stirring up some poisonous herbs in
a caldron, or hear her muttering over
some incantations, or stamping u’ith
her foot as she cries out to the realm
of the dead: “Samuel, Samuel!” Lo,
the freezing horror! The floor of the
tenement opens, and the gray hairs
float up and the forehead, the eyes, the
lips, the shoulders, the arms, the feet
—the entire body of the dead Samuel-
wrapped lu sepulchral robe, appearing
to the astonished group, who stagger
back aud hold fast and catch their
breath uud shiver with terror.
An Awful Sen nee.
The dead prophet, white end awful
from the tomb, begins to move bis
ashen lips, and he glares upon King
Saul and cries out: “What did you
bring me up for? What do you mean,
King Saul?” Saul, trying to compose
uud control himself, makes this stam
mering uud affrighted utterance as he
says to the dead phophet: “The Lord
is against me, and I have come to you
for help. What shall I do?” The dead
prophet stretched forth his linger to
King Saul and said: “Die tomorrow!
Come with me into the sepulcher. 1
uni going now. Come, come with me!”
And, lo, the floor again opens, and the
feet of the dead prophet disappear and
the arms and the shoulders aud the
forehead! The floor closes. Oh, that
Mas an UM-ful seance!
To unlatch the door between the
present state and the future state all
the fingers of superstition have been
busy. We have books entitled “Foot
falls ou the Boundaries of Other
Worlds,” “The Debatable Land Be
tween This World aud the Next,” “Re
searches Into the Phenomena of Spir
itualism” aud whole libraries of lioeus
pocus, enough to deceive the very elect.
I shall not take time to rehearse the
history of divination, Delphic oracle,
sibyl or palmistry or the whole cen
turies of imposture.
Modern spiritualism proposes to open
the door between this u’orld and the
next and put us into communication
with the dead. It lias never yet of
fered one reasonable credential.
When I find Saul in my text consult
ing a familiar spirit, I learn that spir
itualism is a very old religion.
Spiritualism in America Mas born In
tiie year 1847, in Ilydesville, Wayno
county, N. Y., uffien one night there
mus a loud rap beard against the door
of Michael Week man; a rap a sjeoud
time, a rap a third time, aud all three
times. When the door was opened,
there Mas nothing found there, the
knocking having been made seemingly
by invisible knuckles.
After nubile Mr. Fox u ith his fami
ly moved Into that house, and then
they had hangings at the door every
night. One night Mr. Fox cried out,
“Are you a spirit?” Tu’o raps—answer
in the atlirmative. “Are you an injur
ed spirit?” Two raps—answer in the
affirmative. Then they knew right
au-ay that it u-as the spirit of a peddler
m Iio had been murdered in that bouse
years before and who had been robbed
of ids $500. Whether the spirit of the
peddler came back to collect his $500
or bis bones I do not know.
I'nlverMul IlunipiiN.
The excitement spread. There M’as
a universal rumpus. The Hon. Judge
Edmonds declared in a hook that ho
lind actually seen a bell start from the
top shelf of a closet, heard it rlng'over
the people that were standing In the
closet; then, swung by invisible hands,
It rang over Hie people In the back par
lor and floated through the folding
doors to the front parlor, rang over the
people there and then dropped on the
floor. A senator of the United States,
afterward governor of Wisconsin, had
his head quite turned with spiritualis
tic demonstrations. The tables tipped,
and the stools tilted, aud the lied
steads raised, and the chairs upset, and
It seemed as If the spirits everywhere
had gone Into the furniture business!
Well, the people said: "We have got
something new lu tlds country. It is
a new religion!” Oh, no, my friend,
thousands of years ago, we And in our
text, a spiritualistic seance!
Nothing lu the spiritualistic circles of
•
our day has been more strange,
terious aud Mouderful
M’hlch have been seen iu past cen
turies of the M’orld. lu fill ages there
have been necromancers, those who
consult with the spirits of the depart
ed; charmers, those who put their sub
jects in a mesmeric state; sorcerers,
those M’ho by taking poisonous drugs
see everything and hear everything
aud tell everything; dreamers, people
who in their sleeping moments can see
the future world and hold consultation
with spirits. Yes, before the time of
Christ, the Brahmans M’ent through
all tin* table moving, all the furniture
excitement, which the spirits have ex
ploited in our day, precisely the same
tlyng over and over again, under the
manipulation of the Brahmans. Now,
do you say that spiritualism is differ
ent from these? I nnsM’or, all these
delusions I have mentioned belong to
the same family. They are exhuma
tions from the unseen uorld.
What does (Jod think of all these de
lusions? He thinks so severely of them
that he never speaks of them but M’ith
livid thunders of indignation. He says,
“I Mill be a sM'ift M’ituess against the
sorcerer.” He says, “Thou slialt not
suffer a witch to live.” And lest you
might make some Important distinction
between spiritualism and witchcraft
God says in so many M’ords, “There
shall not be among you a consulter of
familiar spirits, or Mizard, or nec
romancer, for they that do those things
are an abomination unto the Lord.”
The Lord God Almighty in a score of
passages Mhlch I have not now time to
quote utters ids indignation against all
tills great family of delusions. After
that be a spiritualist if you dare!
Takes Advantage XVenknesa.
Still further, u’e learn from this text
bow it is that people come to fall into
spiritualism. Saul had enough trouble
to kill teu men. He did not know
where to go for relief. After nwhile
he* resolved to go aud see the Mitch of
Eu-dor. He expected that somehow she
Mould afford him relief. It mus his
trouble drove him there. And I have
to tell you uom’ mat spiritualism finds
its victims in the troubled, the bank
rupt, the sick, the bereft. You lose
your Match, and you go to the fortune
teller to lind M’here It Is.
You lose a friend; you uaut the spir
itual M’orld opened, so that you may
have communication M’ith him. Iu a
highly n’rought, nervous and diseased
state of mind you go aud put yourself
in that communication. That is u’hy I
hate spiritualism. It takes advantage
of one in a moment of u’eakuoss, u’hieh
may come upon us at any time. We
lose a friend. The trial is keen, sharp,
suffocating, almost maddening. If u'o
could marshal a host and storm the
eternal uorld and recapture our loved
one, the iiost would soou be marshaled.
The house is so lonely. The world is
so dark. The separation is so insuf
ferable. But spiritualism says, "We
will open the future M’orld, and your
loved one can come back and talk to
you.” Though u’e may not hear his
voice, M’c may hear the rap of ids
hand. So, clear the table. Sit down.
But your hands on the table. Be very
quiet. Five minutes gone. Ten min
utes. No motion of the table. No re
sponse from the future u’orld. Twenty
minutes. Thirty minutes. Nervous
excitement all the time Increasing. Tu n
raps from the future uorld. The let
ters of the alphabet are called over.
The departed friend’s name is John.
At the pronunciation of the letter J
tuo raps. At the pronunciation of the
letter O two raps. At the pronuncia
tion of the letter II two raps. At the
pronunciation of the letter N tu’o raps.
'There you have the u’holo name spell
ed out—J-o-h-n, John. Nou\ the spirit
being present, you say, “John, are you
happy?” Tuo raps give an affirmative
answer.
Pretty soou the hand of the medium
begins to tuiteh and toss ‘and begius
to u rltc out, after paper and ink are
furnished, a message from the eternal
world. What Is remarkable, the de
ported spirit, although it has been
amid the illuminations of the heaven,
cannot spell as ucll as It used to. It.
1ms lost all grammatical accuracy and
cannot u’rite as distinctly. I received a
letter through a medium once. I sent
It back. I said, “Just please to tell
those ghosts they had better go to
school and get improved in their or-’
thography.” Nou\ just think of spir
its, that the Bible represents as en
throned in glory, coming down to
crawl under the tabic and break crock
ery and ring tea ltd is before supper is
ready and rap the u iudow shutter ou a
gusty night! What consolation in such
miserable stuff as compared uith the
consolation of our departed friends
free from toil and sin and pain are for
ever happy and that we Mill join them,
not in mysterious and half utterance
M’hlch makes the hair stand on end
and makes cold chills creep the back,
but in a reunion most blessed and hap
py and glorious!
Am) none sliall murmur or misdoubt
When God’s great sunrise finds us out.
AftalrH of DurkncHN.
I learn still further from this sub
ject that spiritualism and necromancy
are affairs of darkness. Why did not
Saul go in the day? He was ashamed
to go. Besides that, he knew that tills
spiritual medium, like all her succes
sors, performed her exploits iu the
night. The Davenports, the Fowlers,
the Foxes, the spiritual mediums of all
ages, have chosen the night or a dark
ened room. Why? The majority of
their wonders have been swindles, aud
deception prospers best in the night.
Home of the performances of spir
itual mediums are not to be ascribed to
fraud, but to some occult lau’ that aft
er awhile may he demonstrated. But
I believe that now nine hundred and
ninety-nine out of ever/ thousand
achievements on the part of spiritual
mediums are arrant and unmitigated
humbug. The mysterious red letters
that used lo come out on the medium’s
arm were found to have been made by
an Iron pencil that went heavily over
the flesh, not tearing It, but so disturb
ing the blood that it came up lu great
round letters. The witnesses of the
seances have locked the door, put the
key in their pocket, arrested the op
erator aud found out by searching the
room that hidden levers moved the ta
llies. The sealed letters that Merc
•mysteriously read without opening
have been found to have been cut at
the side and then uftenvard slyly put
together with gum arable, and the me
dium who, with a heavy blanket over
ids head, could read a book, has been
found to have had a bottle of phos
phoric oil, by the light of u’hich any
body can (I hook, uml ventrllp-
qulsm aud logerd'jinxin and sleight of
hand and optical delusion account for
nearly everything. Deception being
the main staple of spiritualism, no
Mondcr it chooses the darkness!
Doom mu] Death.
Still further, I learn from my text
that spiritualism Is doom and death to
its disciples. King Saul thought that
he Mould get help from the “medium,”
but the first that he sees makes him
swoon away, and uo sooner is he re
suscitated than lie Is told he must die.
Spiritualism is doom and death to ev
ery cue that yields to it. It ruins the
body. Look In upon an audience of
spiritualists—cadaverous, uvak, nerv
ous, exhausted, hands clammy s:.d
cold, voices sepulchral aud ominous,
beu ilderod uith raps. 1 never knew a
confirmed spiritualist Mho had a
healthy nervous system. It Is Incipient
epilepsy and catalepsy. Destroy your
nervous system, aud you might as well
be dead. I have noticed that people
Mho are hearing raps from the future
world hrfve but little strength left to
bear the hard raps of this world. A
man can live M’ith only one lung or
Mitb no eyes aud be happy, as men
have been under such afliictions, but
moc be to the man uhose nerves are
shattered! Spiritualism smites first of
all, and mightily, against the nervous
system and so makes life miserable.
1 indict spiritualism also because it is
a social and marital curse. The M’orst
deeds of licentiousness and the u’orst
orgies of uncleanliness have been
enacted under its patronage. The story
is too vile for mo to tell. I Mill not
pollute my tongue or your cars with
the recital. Sometimes the civil law
lias been Invoked to stop the outrage.
Families innumerable have been bro
ken up by it. It lias pushed off hun
dreds of young M’omeu into a life of
profligacy. It talks about “elective
affinities” and “affinital relations” and
“spiritual matches” and adopts the
whole vocabulary of free loveism. In
one of its journals it declares “mar
riage is the monster curse of civiliza
tion.” “It is a source of debauchery
uud intemperance.” If spiritualism
could have its full su ing, it M ould turn
this M-orld into a pendemonium of car
nality. It is an unclean, adulterous,
damnable religion, aud the soouer it
drops iuto the hell from uhich it rose
the better both for earth and heaven.
For the sake of man’s honor and mo-
mau’s purity I say let the last vestige
of it perish forever. I udsh I could
gather up all the raps it has ever
heard from spirits blest or damned
and gather them all on its oun head
iu thundering raps of annihilation!
Cauite of liiMtnlfy.
I further indict spiritualism for that
it is a cause of insanity. There is not
an asylum between Bangor aud Sau
Francisco u hich lias not the tern and
bleeding victims of this delusion. Go
into any asylum, I care not U’iiere it
is, and the presiding doctor, after you
have asked him, “What is the matter
uith that man?” will say. “Spiritual
ism demented him;” or, “What is the
matter uith that u’oman?” he will say,
“Spiritualism demented her.” It lias
taken down some of the brightest in
tellects. It swept iff’ into mental mid
night judges, senators, governors, min
isters of the gospel and one time came
near capturing one of the presidents
of the United States. At Flushing. N.
Y., a man became absorbed udtb it,
forsook Ids family, took his only $15,-
00G, surrendered them to a spiritual
medium in Neu r York, attempted three
times to put an end to Ids ou n life aud
then M as incarcerated in the state luna
tic asylum.
Many years ago the steamer Atlantic^
' Artcd from Europe for the 'Ujiitcd
tales. Getting midocean, the Anu-
.•hinery broke*, and she floundered
lirouud day after dny and uoek after
ueek, and for a u hole month after she
Mas due people uoudered and finally
gave her up. There u-as great anguish
iu the cities, for there wore many uflio
had friends aboard that vessel. Some
of the women In their distress went to
the spiritual medium and inquired as
to the fate of that vessel. The medi
um called up the spirits, and the rap-
plugs on the table Indicated the steam
ship lost, M’itli all on hoard. Women
M’eut raving mad and Mere carried to
the lunatic asylum. After awhile one
day a gun Mas heard off quarantine.
The flags went up on the shipping, ami
the bells of the churches Mere rung.
The boys ran through the streets cry
ing: “Extra! The Atlantic is safe!”
There Mas the embracing as from the
dead M’hen friends came again to
friends, but some of those passengers
M’eut up to find their wives in the
lunatic asylum, where this cheat of in
fernal spiritualism had put them.
I bring against this delusion a more
fearful indictment—it ruins the soul
immortal. First, it makes a man a
quarter of an infidel; then it makes
him half an infidel; then it makes him
a whole infidel. The u hole system, as
I conceive it, is founded on the insuffi
ciency of the word of God as a revela
tion. God says the Bible is enough
for you to kuow about the future
uorld. You say it is not enough, and
there is udiere you and the Lord dif
fer. And although the Scriptures say,
“Add thou not unto his uords, lost he
reprove thee and thou be fouud a
liar,” you risk it and say: “Gome back,
spirit of my departed father; come
back, spirit of my departed mother, of
my companions, of my little child, and
tell me some tilings I don’t kuou’ about
you and about the unseen u orld.”
If (iod Is ever slapped in the face, it
Is when a spiritual medium puts down
her hand on the table, invoking spirits
departed to make a revelation. God
has told you all you ought to kuow,
and hou’ dare you be prying into that
which Is none of your business? You
cannot keep the Bible iu one band and
spiritualism In the other. Due or tho
other will slip out of your grasp, de
pend upon It. Spiritualism is adverse
to the Bible, !n tho fact that it lias in
these last days called from the future
world Christian men to testify against
Christianity. Its mediums call hack
Lirenzo Dow, the celebrated evangel
ist, and Lorenzo Dow testifies that
Christians are Idolaters. Spiritualism
calls back Tom Paine, and he testifies
that he is stopping in the same house
in heaven M’ith John Bunyan. They
call back John WesLy, and lie testi
fies against tho Christian religion,
u hich he all ids life gloriously preach
ed. Andrew Jackson Davis, the great
est of all the spiritualists, comes to the
front and declares that the. New Testa
ment Is but “tho (liHuml echo of a bar
baric age” uud the Bible only “outf of
the pen and Ink relics of Christianity.”
I have in my house a book used In
spiritualistic service. It contains a
catechism and a hymn book. The
catechism lias these questions and an-
swors;
Q. What is our chief baptism? A. Frequent ab
lution in water.
V- What is our inspiration? A. 1’iegh air and
sunshine.
q. What is our love feast? A. Char conscience
ami sound sleep.
q What is our prayer? A. Physical exercise.
And then it goes on to shou- that a
great proportion of their religious serv
ice Is a system of calisthenics. Then
when they uant to arouse the devotion
of the people to the highest pitch they
give out the hymn ou the sixty-fifth
page:
The night hath gathered up her silken fringes.
Or, ou the fifteenth page:
Come to the woods, heigh ho!
“But,” says some one, “u’ouldn’t it
•be of advantage to hear from the fu
ture M’orld? Don’t you think it Mould
strengthen Christians? There are a
great many materialists udio do not be
lieve there are souls, but if spirits from
the future M’orld should knock and
talk over to us they M’ould be per
suaded.” To that I nusM’er iu the
ringing Mords of the Son of God, “If
they believe uot Moses and the proph
ets, neither Mill they be persuaded
though one rose from the dead.”
A Christian Seance.
I believe these are the days of Mhlch
the apostle st ake M hen he said, “In the
latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving heed to seducing spir
its.” Audiences in this dny need to
have reiterated iu their hearing the
passages I quoted some minutes ago,
"There shall uot be among you a cou-
sulter of familiar spirits, or M izard, or
necromancer, for they that do these
things are an abomination unto the
Lord,” and. “The soul that turneth
after such as have familiar spirits I
Mill set myself against them, and they
shall be cut off from their people.”
But 1 Invite you now to a Christian
seance, a noonday seance. This con
gregation is only one great family.
Here is the church table. Come around
the church table; take your seats for
this great Christian seance; put your
Bible on the table, put ^our hands on
top of the Bible and then listen aud
hear if there are any voices coming
from the eternal M’orld. I think there
are. Listen! “Secret tilings belong
unto the Lord, our God. but tilings that
are revealed belong unto vis and to our
children.” Surely that is a voice from
the spirit world. But before you rise
from this Christian seance I uant you
to promise me you u’ill Ik* satisfied
M’ith the divine revelation until the
light of the eternal throue breaks upon
your vision. Do not go after the Mitch
of Eu-dor. Do not sit doMn at table
tappings either in spoil or In earnest.
Teach your children there are no
ghosts to lie S' en or heard in this M’orld
save those which M’alk ou two feet or
four—human or bestial. Remember
that spiritualism at the bsst is a use
less tiling, for if it tells M’hat the Bi
ble reveals it. is a superfluity, and if It
tells M’bat the Bible does not reveal it
Is a lie.
Instead of going to get other
people to toll your fortune tell your
oun fortune by putting your trust in
God and doing the best you can. I
u’ill tell your fortune: “All things u’ork
together for good to them that love
God.” Insult not your departed friends
by asking them to come don't) and
scrabble under an extension table. Re
member that there is only one spirit
uhose dictation you have a right to
invoke, and that is tho holy, blessed
and omnipotent spirit of God. Hark!
lie is rapping non-, not on a table or
the floor, but rapping on flic door of
your heart, and every rap Is an invita
tion to Christ and a uarning pf judg
ment to come. Oh, grieve Him bot
a nay! Quench him not. He has been
all around you tiffs morning. lie'was
all around you last night. He lias been
around you all your lives. Hark!
There comes a voice M’ith tender, over
mastering intonation, saying, “My spir
it shall.uot-always strive.”
