The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82

There is not only nothing new in the present-day Spiritism, but there is nothing now shown that comes up to the demonstrations of earlier ages. Who to-day do the tricks of Pharaoh's magicians, or what medium equals the witch of Endor? And yet these were gross or palpably feeble and false when com pared to the gifts of God manifested by those endowed with His Spirit and operating by His authority. At best, all they ever did was temporary and of no important consequence, just as all that the Spiritists did in 1856, and that they have done both before and since then has been. It seems strange, if not ridiculous, that men of intelligence should pander to spirits or spiritism of no authority or quality, such as they would demand that men in the ?esh should have, to deserve their consideration or inspire confidence. Nevertheless, we are witnesses of this absurdity. It is common repo1t that some quite eminent personages have become willing victims of these spurious spi1 its.
