ABC of Spiritualism 9 & 10 & 11/100

9. What other answer is made to the charges brought against Mediumship?

Mediumship is in Nature’s order. It seems to be a part of a great divine plan of the Infinite Intelligence for the instruction, inspiration and aid of the younger and less advanced souls in God’s great family, by those of riper experience and richer knowledge. It extends thru all the ages and thru all the realms of the mortal and spirit spheres and will one day link into communication all the realms of spirit and all the worlds of space. Since some men and women are born mediums, never having to develop it (child mediums being found in all lands and ages), and since Mediumship comes spontaneously to many in adult life who have never sought it, and even against their wishes and protest, there must be a rightful and beneficial use of Mediumship in human life.

10. Upon what is Spiritualism based?

On the Principles of Nature, the Facts of human experience and upon Mediumship as the mouthpiece and interpreter of these.

11. Is not Spiritualism based upon the Bible?

No. The Bible so far as it is inspired and true is based upon Mediumship and therefore, both Christianity (the simple and beautiful teachings of Jesus—real primitive Christianity) and Spiritualism rest on the same basis. Spiritualism does not depend for its credentials and proofs upon any former revelation.
