Spiritualism a Folly
1 Samuel 28:7-25
Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her…


To meddle with the walls of separation that God has built is a wrong and sinful thing. We have no business but in our own world. This dabbling in spiritualism and communication with the departed is nothing more than folly. It is unlawful, and has all the consequences of a broken law. There was an old Scotch body, who was sitting by the deathbed of her only son. Trying to comfort the grieving mother, the dying boy said: "Mother, if so be it's permitted, I'll come from the dead to see thee." "Na, us, lad," she exclaimed; "keep to your sin side." It was a wise injunction. Keep to your own side.

(J. Robertson.)
