14. "And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 15. "And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up?"--2 Samuels xxviii. This reads very much like an account of a modern spiritual seance. Is it not one of the wonderful things of the world that men and women who believe this account of the witch of Endor, who believe all the miracles and all the ghost stories of the Bible, deny with all their force the truth of modern Spiritualism. So far as I am concerned, I would rather believe some one who has heard what he relates, who has seen what he tells, or at least thinks he has seen what he tells. I would rather believe somebody I know, whose reputation for truth is good among those who know him. I would rather believe these people than to take the words of those who have been in their graves for four thousand years, and about whom I know nothing. 31 "Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them; I am the Lord, your God."--_Leviticus xix_. 6 "And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people."--_Leviticus xx._ 10. "There shall not be found among you any one that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11. "Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12. "For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord."--_Deut. xviii_. I have given you a few of the passages found in the Old Testament upon this subject, showing conclusively that the Bible teaches the existence of witches, wizards and those who have familiar spirits. In the New Testament there are passages equally strong, showing that the Savior himself was a believer in the existence of evil spirits, and in the existence of a personal devil. Nothing can be plainer than the teaching of the following: 1. "Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2. "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3. "And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4. "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5. "Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple. 6. "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7. "Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God.
