Excerpt from Spiritualism Its Truth, Helpfulness and Danger The object of this book is not to convert my readers into Spiritualists, but to call their attention to what my long experience with, and investigation of the subject has proven to me as its Truth, Helpfulness, and Danger. It must be clearly understood that, whilst many of my views may fully coin cide with the teaching of modern Spiritual ism, I do not in any way represent any Spiritualist Society - and that Spiritual ists must be held blameless for any state ments I make. It is not my purpose to be offensive to that great body of people who call themselves Spiritualists, and for many of them I have profound respect, but I shall not hesitate to state-what to me seems true, though it may be opposite to their general teaching. I shall endeavor to place before my read ers the testimony of some of the Seers, Prophets, and Healers of Bible History, also those of early civilization, and theconclusions reached by many Of our most able Thinkers, Scientists, Teachers, and leaders of present-day thought.
