Kev. Haag, of Port Hurón, leetured to a large audlenee in the Bethlehen ehureh Sunday evening on "Spiritism,1 troating the subject from a Biblical stamlpoint. While he claimed that, according to the testimony of uu Bible, there have, under extraordinary ciroumstances, occurred instances of comraunication between the living aml the spirits of the departed, and did not deny out and out that such eommunleation were possible even now: yet he condemned the authority and claims of the modern Spiritists as antagonistie with the dlctates of the B'ble and conseience and destructivo to the peace of mind of the people. Rev. Haag has visited the private meetings of the Spiritists at Port Hurón in person and speaks of inexplicable mysteries, which he and several other pastor witnessed there; but though he began his lecture wlth the quotation from Hamlet: 'There are more things in Heaven and earth, Iloratio, than are dreamt of in your philosoihy' yet he regards the tenets of the Splritlsts from the position of a sceptic, and condemns their picsumptions, praetices, and a.bove all their corrupt social teachings as an abomination and a curse to mankind.
