Even yet this belief is not entirely extinct in England; and Dr. Buckley says that in America a majority of the citizens believe in witchcraft. The modern Roman Catholic priest is cautioned in the rubric concerning the examination of a possessed patient "not to believe the demon if he profess to be the soul of some saint or deceased person, or a good angel." As late as 1773 the divines of the Associated Presbytery passed a resolution declaring their belief in witchcraft, and deploring the scepticism that was general. In the Church Catechism, explained by the Rev. John Lewis, minister of Margate in Kent--a work which went through many editions, and received the sanction of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge--a copy of which lies before me, published in 1813, reads (p. 18): "Q. What is meant by renouncing the Devil?--A. The refusing of all familiarity and contracts with the Devil, whereof witches, conjurors, and such as resort to them are guilty." Let it never be forgotten that this belief which has not only been the cause of the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent women, but has sent far more into the worst convulsions of madness and despair, is the evident and unmistakable teaching of the Bible.

"Our own time has revived a group of beliefs and practices which have their roots deep in the very stratum of early philosophy, where witchcraft makes its first appearance. This group of beliefs and practices constitutes what is now commonly known as Spiritualism."--Dr. E. B. Tylor, "Primitive Culture" vol. i., p. 128.
