Modern Spiritualism in a Sunday Sermon by Dr. Talmage
The Rev. Dr. TALMAGE condemns spiritualism as an old, deceptive religion and warns readers of its dangers. He links séances to witchcraft, debunking as fraud, and argues it harms the nervous system, marriages, and society while opposing biblical revelation. He urges a noonday Christian seance anchored in the Bible and rejection of spirit communications.
