Lights and Shadows of Spiritualism (Classic Reprint)

These descend to ns, among the fragmentary records which, with shattered temples and decaying cities, form the only remaining proofis that snch nations as the Assyrian and the Egyptian were once great upon the earth, many CT idences of the vividness with which light from another world hroke in npon man during the earlier ages of onr own. Every spiritual phenomenon which has in the present day startled the Christians of the West was, centuries ago, familiar to the Pagans of the East. On the common foundation of a belief that spirit visits were neither few nor far between every mythology of those far-back times was based. The most superhuman virtues, and abominable crimes, of Chaldean, Phoenician, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, and Boman, are traceable to a spiritual source. For then, as since, the good of the truth that man cannot die, to live again, but, living once, lives eternally, was at times largely perverted to evil.
