THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL
Last night, in tho Concert Chamber of the Town Hall. Mr. Vivian H. B. Deacon delivered tho second lecture of a senes on “Modern'Cults: Their Meaning and Significance.” Last night’s subject was "Spiritualism: Ancient and Modern.” Mr. Deacon said that Spiritualism was no now thing; it was almost as old ns humanity. In ancient Chaldea and Egypt, there were undoubtedly cults in existence almost’ identical with modern Spiritualism, 'and do understand the accurate appreciation of the modern movement, it was necessary first to rightly estimate the cause that initiated the ancient primal manifestations. What more natural than that the savage whoso untutored mind saw God in trees, and hoard Him in tho wind, should begin to wonder at tho problem of existence, and to ponder upon the why and wherefore of things. It was in this state of mind that he gradually began to develop the rudiments of mentality, and to initiate those thought processes that ultimately led tho race consciousness to its present state of unfoldment. — -
