A Science, Philosophy and Religion

"Spiritualism is a Science" because it investigates, analyzes and classifies facts and manifestations demonstrated from the spirit side of life.

"Spiritualism is a Philosophy" because it studies the laws of nature both on the seen and unseen sides of life and bases its conclusions upon present observed facts of past ages and conclusions drawn there from, when sustained by reason and by results of observed facts of the present day.

"Spiritualism is a Religion" because it strives to understand and to comply with the Physical, Mental, and Spiritual Laws of Nature, "which are the laws of God."

What Spiritualism Is and Does

It teaches personal responsibility

It removes all fear of death, which is really the portal of the spirit world

It teaches that death is not the cessation of life, but a mere change of condition.

It teaches not that man has a soul, but that man is a soul and has a body.

It teaches that man is a spiritual being now, even while encased in flesh.

it teaches that as man sows on earth he reaps in the life to come.

It teaches that those who have passed on are conscious - not asleep.

It teaches that communion between the living and the "dead" is scientifically proved.

It teaches that the spark of divinity dwells in all.

It teaches that as a flower gradually unfolds in beauty, so the spirit of man unfolds and develops in the spirit spheres.

It teaches that every soul will progress through the ages to heights, sublime and glorious, where God is Love and Love is God.

Spiritualism is God's message to mortals, declaring that there is no death. That all who have passed on still live. That there is hope in the life beyond for the most sinful.

It is a manifestation, a demonstration, and a proof of the continuity of life and of the truth of the many Spirit manifestations recorded in the Bible.

It demonstrates the many Spiritual gifts with which mankind is endowed but which through want of knowledge have been allowed to lie dormant or through prejudice have been violently and unjustly suppressed.
