ARTICLE EMPLOYING MANY OF ITS SENTENCES, BUT REWORDING SOME
SENTENCES AND USING MORE PRECISE TERMS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY SO IN
THOSE SENTENCES OF THE 1862 WRITING IN WHICH THE WORDS
PHRENOLOGY AND MESMERISM ARE USED. {2MCP 720.6}
IN 1862 SHE WROTE: "PHRENOLOGY AND MESMERISM ARE VERY MUCH
EXALTED. THEY ARE GOOD IN THEIR PLACE, BUT THEY ARE SEIZED UPON BY
SATAN AS HIS MOST POWERFUL AGENTS TO DECEIVE AND DESTROY SOULS.
HIS ARTS AND DEVICES ARE RECEIVED AS FROM HEAVEN, AND FAITH IN THE
DETECTOR, THE BIBLE, IS DESTROYED IN THE MINDS OF THOUSANDS"
(TESTIMONIES, VOL. 1, P. 296). {2MCP 720.7}
IN 1884 SHE WROTE: "THE SCIENCES WHICH TREAT OF THE HUMAN MIND
ARE VERY MUCH EXALTED. THEY ARE GOOD IN THEIR PLACE: BUT THEY ARE
SEIZED UPON BY SATAN AS HIS POWERFUL AGENTS TO DECEIVE AND
DESTROY SOULS. HIS ARTS ARE ACCEPTED AS FROM HEAVEN, AND HE THUS
RECEIVES THE WORSHIP WHICH SUITS HIM WELL"(SIGNS OF THE TIMES,
NOVEMBER 6, 1884). BECAUSE THIS STATEMENT APPEARS TO MORE
CORRECTLY REPRESENT THE INTENT OF THE AUTHOR, IT IS EMPLOYED IN
THIS CHAPTER.
