Spirit Communication! Through Me diums Corns Not From Dead Hu mana, but From tha Fallon Angola, Says Pastor Ruaaell In tha Bibla Ha Tracaa Their Hlatory Satan Him self Poaes as an Angel of Light The Bibla Is ths Torch of Liberty and In telligence, the Foe to 8uparatitlon, Ignorance and Demoniim. Jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 10,-The Op era House w a i crowded today tc hear Pastor Rus sell, lie spoke twice. We re port one of bla discourses from ( lie text, "The an gels which kepi not their flrst es tate, but left tholi own habitation, Ifo hath reserved ijfASlOKJJUSSFin In Instills restraints under the thick darkness for u Judgment of the Great Day." (Judo 0.) lie said: Last Sunday wo discussed the fall of the angels, nnd saw that they succumb t'd to the leaven of sin, which was lirst Introduced by Satan's pride and rebel lion, and was continued and increased by man's disobedience and fall from Divine favor. Kutuo might bo Inclined to say, Why preach nbout the angels and their fall? Why not rather conlini! our consideration to man? The an iwcr Is that man's fall had to do with the fall of the angels, as wo have seen; and that since then the fallen angels have had much to do with man's fur ther perversion mentally, morally, phj-Mlcally. St. Paul -was not In erroi when he declared, "Wo wrestlo not with llesh and blood merely, but with principalities and jMiwers wicked spirits In high positions." Kph.'Q:12. I am aware that many amongst tho millions who read my sermons In the newspapers will bo Inclined to laugh at what mny be designated my super stitious belief that fallen spirit beings are In close propinquity with human ity a continual power for evil, seduc tive nnd ensnaring, Cod and Truth op posing. I have no practical knowledge of Spiritism, becuusc, obedient to the Divine command, I would avoid every thing occult. My kuowledgo of Spirit ism comes mainly through the lllble, but Is well supported by tho testimony of many whom I have rescued from tho thralldom of Spiritism a consid erable number of these mediums. We should either take tho lllblo ac count as a whole, or should roJ t It us a whole. It Is my constant effort to bring my own thoughts anil words and conduit and those of others lulo full alignment with the IHvlne Insti'iicllons of the llllile. I belli'vo any oilier at titude to be dangerous In tho oxlretno. Tho fallen angels I he lllblo styles demon rendered In our Common Ver sion, devils. We charge these demons, and not our forefathers, with having perverled llio true Message of tho tiospel. This thought Is substantiated by the Apostle, who refers to their In sidious teachings us "the doctrines of demons." I ty every means they seek to put darkness for light and light for darkness. In the doctrines of I lie liark Ages, now dlsereillled, these demons blasphemed !od by tombing that He hud prepared a lorluro chamber nnd mis overseeing the everlasting torture of nearly all huinaully all except tin Tory Klcct tit the hands of lire proof devils with pitchforks. Thus the human mind win turned against the Almighty In dr I. Thus huniaiilly learneil to think of Satan and his associates as In some faroff place. Now, as greater Illumination mines, and humanity gradually ascer tains that the tl ry of a great torture place beyond the hounds of time nnd place was a hoax, these demons would lead such Rockers In an opposite dltvc (Ion, ami convince them that as there In no such torture chamber, neither tire there any demons. lint the lllblo all the while has been telling us that these evil spirits are near us, In our atmosphere: and that they have power over us In proportion ns we yield our wills to llielr sugges tions and our niliids to sin. So far from telling of Satan's being far off, tho Apostle declares that he goes about through the earth, seeking whom he may devour; and that his host of fallen angels are a present power for evil throughout the world. Similarly, ,lesus tells us to pray, "lietlver us from the Kill One." Hi' says that Satan was "n murderer from the beginning, and abode not In the Truth. "-.lohn 8:4-1. Cast Down to Tartarus. ft. I'eter tells us that the fallen an (els at the time of the Pelugo were east down to Tartarus. This word tartnrui Is used only once In tho llllile, and Is mistranslated hill. It Is gener ally conceded to refer to tho earth's at mosphere, though It may bo used In a figurative way, much as wo use tho word Umtm, a prison, a place or condi tion of restraint. Wo aro not to confound the Itlblo tory of the fall of tha angels and their restraint In chains of darkness with the symbolical figure of ltovelatlon, Russell's where Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven. The ltovelatlon picture Is purely symbolical, as all admit. It does not refer to literal Heaven at all, but In n figurative way describes mat ters which happened on earth matters which found their fullllmeut centuries ago, nt the time the Homan Empire was overthrown, and Papacy set itself up, claiming earthly and Heavenly power and authority ns tho Kingdom of Messiah, operutlng through the popes as Messiah's vicegerents. Satan's First Lis Perpetuated. At some length, Pastor Uusse.ll show ed that the very name Satan signifies opponent of Cod, nnd that this name Is well deserved, because ho who was formerly known as Lucifer has array ed himself agulnst God and In opposi tion to every feature of the Divine Plan. Tho Almighty could have de stroyed Satan at any time, but lie has permitted lilm for the past six thou sand years to go on In bis course, In order to demonstrate tho evil character of sin, nnd to give opportunity, on the contrary, of demonstrating the beauty of holiness. Eventually, when tho les son shall have been taught to angels and to men, Satan and nil who love sin will be utterly destroyed In the Second Death.-ltovelatlon 21:8. Note the persistency of Satan, said Pastor Itussoll, and his effrontery, God distinctly told Adam and Kvo that disobedience would bring upon them the penalty of death. Satan contra dicted tho Almighty point-blank, de claring, "Yo shall not surely dlo." And when our raijo found the truth of God's statement borne In upon them by death, Satan still sought to pervert the Word of God and the minds of men by telling humanlly that they do not die really, but In appearance only; that In reality a dead man Is much more alive than a living one. This absurdity has been repented to our race century after century, until today mankind, as n whole, believe Satan's ii 2I"1 entirely discredit tl Word of God. Tho 2V back t0 Go,l and to winHy of reasoning ' -'10 r!' pudlatlon of Satan's falsehood nnd the acceptance of God's Truth. Tho dend know not nnythlng. Their sons come to honor nnd they know It not; to dis honor and they perceive It not of them. -Kccleslastes 0:fi; Job 14:21. Satan's original lie is tho basis of all tho superstitions of religion. If man kind believed God that tho dend aro drud, nnd that their only hope of a fu ture life Is based on tho resurrection--It would clear the world of a thousand superstitions. How could the dead suffer tortures In a Protestant hell or In a Catholic purgatory. If the dead know not anything, as tho lllble de clares? If the Truth prevailed, where would coiuo In prayers nnd masses for tho dend? And where would come In tho belief of spiritists nnd others thnt they have communications with their dead frlends-lf, as tho lllblo says, "The dead know not anything?' Demons Personata ths Dead. On tho basis of human credulity the supposition that tho dend become more allvo when they appear to dlo the demons have advanced their decep tions, nnd Bought to enthrall humanity. Invisible to men, yet fully Informed re specting nil human affairs, they can readily personate the dead. Tho fallen angels, since the Deluge deprived of the power to nuilerlallze, use as .chan nels of communication such individ uals as they can deceive Into being their servants --mediums. Many of these are noble characters, anil many of Ihetn the reverse; but vicious or Ig norant or good, the demons use such lis they can control, none being too do based for their service. Working on the credulity of their dupes, they use tho Hps or the pencil of the medium to describe the dead one, who Is supposed to be very anx ious to communicate with the living. And the description generally Ills well to tho dupe's last knowledge of the person age, sex, clothing, all. Ho de luded do people become that they fall to remember that the children of two or ten years would, ten years later, if alive, be twelve or twenty years of age, and proportionately larger, and certainly not content to wear In a spirit laud the same clothing they wore when last, seen by the dupe. Tho de mons' power to disco- matters known only to Hie dupe mid (he deceased car ries convict ion. And all the teachings of all the do iiomlnallons, that the dead lire not dead, are helping on with the decep tion. The velieiiilile minister, deceived liv the dneli'liies of the Dark Ages, tells lils hearers at the funeral Unit their deceased friend Is hovering over them: and lluit If he could speak, ho would say, "Weep not for inc." Till medium mid. the clairvoyant announce that they are under spirit control, nnd that the departed one can speak through them. N It any wonder that the deception Is a powerful one with many? The antidote for all Hie doc trines of demons Is the Message of the Word of God: (I) That the dead lire really dead; ('J I That Christ died on our behalf; llli That at Ills Second Coming and Kingdom, "there shall be a resurrec tion of the dead, both of the Just nnd ii f Ihe unJot. "-Acts 21:15. Demons Cait Out of tha Poiseased. Let those who deny thnt there aro Invisible evil spirit explain what .lo mis meant when lie gave His disciples power over nil manlier of dlsense, and aver iiiiilfitii tplrita. Let them explain what the Apostles meant when they returned with Joy, snylng, "Lord, oven Hie demons are subject unto us In Thy name." It Is for them to explain, too, what really took plaen at Ondarit, whore tho Scriptures declare Jesus rnst a legion of these evil spirits out of one man, That legion, permitted to (o Into the swine, worn aulllcleut In Dumber to crate tho entire herd. Let vi alio bare an explanation of Sermon what St Paul meant when he turned to rebuke the young woman who had tho power of divination, and command ed the evil spirits to come out of her, (Acts 10:10-18.) Let thorn explain why her soothsaying prognostications were at an end, when once the evil spirit was gone 'forth. Let us also remember that there Is not a suggestion any where in the Bible that these evil spir its were ever human beings In any sense of, the word, or lit any time. Let us all' remember that these are the same evil spirits dealt with at tho time of tho Deluge. Immediately after the Flood, they began their attack upon humanity, their attack upon the Truth, their en deavor to make humanity believe the Ho that tho dead nre not dead. To whatever extent they succeeded in so deceiving humanity they prepared man kind proportionately to be their dupes. The goal of their ambition Is posses sion, and everything else is accessory. Spirit mediums recognize the demon character of the spirits communicating through them; and they dread them nnd warn each other against the dan ger of allowing their wills to 'come completely under spirit Influence, knowing thnt surely the result will be possession, deuionizntlon. And this In our day is called Insanity, although many physicians realize the difference, and candidly say that not one-balf the cases In an insane asylum are due to functional disorder. The majority ore cases of possession by evil spirits. Suggestion, Diveraion, Impression, Pos session. These are the tour steps along which those who do not put themselves under the guldnnce of tho Lord are lu danger of being led by tho demons. And ev ery step of the way should be fought with a determination of the will, If tho "wiles of the Adversary" would be escaped. The vacant, unoccupied, mind Is the more open to suggestions of tho demons. The purposeful, ear nest, energetic, have a protection In their activity. Hut If suggestions, or Imaginations, have been entertained, tho second step may soon follow diversions. The mind will bo diverted from the lines of thought study, prayer, or what not, The power of suggestion becomes so strong as to Interfere with proper thinking nnd reasoning. This leads on to the third stop Im pression. Some are naturally more tin prcsslonablo than are others, and can receive promptings, or suggestions, from the evil splrltB with so little dif ficulty that they do not realize the source of the impression, but rather wonder if it Is a power of their own. Itenlly It Is the outside power Impress ing them, nnd more ami more bringing them under occult Influence. Finally comes the Inst stage posses sion when tho evil spirit gets full power and control of the will, and Ig nores the human will entirely. This Is not always accomplished without more or less of a strugglo--somotluies cover ing years. In the strugglo, sometimes by clalrnudlont powers, sometimes through mediums, the spirits will seek more and more the confidence of the dupe. If he be Inclined toward evil, the loadings will he that way, If he Imvo a religious tendency, he will be counseled to pray or rend tho lllblo, then bo chlded, tho object always be ing to bring hi in Into full submission of bis mind, In a manner that none should yield himself, except to the Al mighty; whom the evil spirits some times personate In their speech. Witches, Wizards and Necromancers. Many today laugh nt the stories of witchcraft handed down from tho past. Quito probably somo executed as witches may have been good people, misunderstood by their neighbors. This dees not, however, alter tho fact that witches, wizards ami necromancers lire nut mere myths. The Blblo tells us of tlieni as realities., and explains the demon power operating through them. In olden times, tho Divine Lnw for bade any witch, wizard or necro mancer (iino claiming to have commu nications from tho dead) to live In the laud of Israel, or to practise their black arts. (Deuteronomy 18:0-14.) Through the Prophet the Lord asks tho people why the living should seek unto those who peep and mutter anil claim to have communication with the dead for wisdom, knowledge, guidance, etc., and not unlo tho living God? "Should not a people seek unto their God?"-Isalah 8:l!, 20. Wo nil remember the story of tho Witch of ICtidor, mid how King Saul, when he could not have communica tion with the Lord, sought communica tion with Samuel the Prophet, who was dead. Saul saw nothing nnd heard nothing, The witch described to him an old man with n mantle, and Saul recognized the description ns cor responding with that of the Prophet Samuel. ' lie witch was guided by tho deinotis, however much she might have supposed that Ihe visions she saw and Ihe words she heard wero from the dead Prophet. The prophecies were all from tho evil spirits, tho demons. (1 Samuel 28:7-111; 1 Chronicles 10:13, 11.) So In till heathen lands, tho de mons have had to do with the people. The lesson to God's people Is nil loynlty to God, strict attention to Ills Inspired Words through tho Prophets ml the Apostles. These aro tho only turn protection against tho wiles of tho Adversary. How glad wo are that the lessons lo angels nnd tolnen, built upon God's permission of a reign ot sin nnd death for the past six thou sand jours, w ill soon bo finished! How glad we an to know of a surety that the end will Justify the permission of all Ihe evil which has cotno to pass!
