Description

Excerpt from The Use of Spiritualism I answer the question you have put to me, - What is the use of spiritualism? And your doubts as to whether it be good or evil in its origin and purpose. If it be of no use, religious thinkers and men of science are bound to enquiry concerning it. It is only of late years we have discovered the uses of a hundred things that our fathers considered either useless or obnoxious. The lever that moves the world - steam - was useless until within a comparatively recent period. Is it so long since an eminent Professor derided the idea of a ship, propelled by steam, conveying a cargo across the Atlantic? In 1843, the House of Representatives at Washington scorned Professor Morse and ridiculed his suggestion as a chimera. Yet, who now wonders when he receives a message by the electric telegraph, although he knows the sender, three thousand miles away, is waiting for his reply Dreams are admitted facts, yet of what use are they? Not one in a thousand can be recalled at all not one in a million is of any worth. Benjamin Franklin asked what was the use of an infant? He must have been strangely startled who first saw the magnet draw towards it a piece of iron. When telescopes and microscopes were invented, they were decried as atheistical inventions. Although Mesmerism is not yet an admitted fact, it is believed in by thousands who a few years ago treated its advocates with hostility and obloquy. These are the comments of Archbishop Whateley on iliat subject. They are as applicable to Spiritualism as they are to Mesmerism.
