DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                   orthodoxly as the most approved standards.


               Under the guise of this profession, what is to


               hinder  it  from  intrenching  itself  in  almost


               every  denomination  in  Christendom?  The


               basis of Spiritualism is a fundamental dogma


               in  the  creeds  of  almost  all  the  churches.  Its

               received  these  messages,  they  would  have


               been shielded against this delusion; for among


               the  great  truths  developed  by  the  religious
