This is in reality the third edition of this little book. First; by request of those who heard it, it was issued as a lecture under the title "Biblical and Modern Mediumship Compared." That seemed only to wet the appetite for the truths herein contained, and a revised edition was issued under the title "The Christ, Who and What is it? or some of the Spiritualism and Mediumship of the Bible compared with that of to-day." I now have the pleasure of presenting a third edition revised and electrotyped.

I assure the reader that no mere cacoethes scribendi has induced me to take my pen at the present time. Indeed, I have been importuned for years to bring out a series of just such works as this. By writing "Question Settled," and "The Contrast," for a time, this clamour was partially settled; but my friends persist in thinking there must be more where these two volumes came from, and they ask for it.

I am fully convinced that Spiritualists generally have ignored the Bible too much. Many have sought to take the Bible from the churches and spike it. In the following pages the Bible, by being proven to be a spiritual book, is not spiked, but is turned against those who supposed that to them belonged the exclusive privilege of interpreting that volume.

When the Bible is interpreted aright, those who, without knowing but little of its contents, have worshiped the book as a kind of fetish, and looked with suspicion on every innovation, may be led to look more favourably on Spiritualism; and at the same time Spiritualists may be induced to pay some attention to that great store-house of Spiritual Truths.

With the hope that this little pamphlet may be the means of opening many pairs of eyes, I send it out on its mission.
