MODERN SPIRITUALISM by FREDERIC ROWLAND MARVIN

First Line: A TRUST THAT ANCIENT FOLLY YET SHALL COME
Last Line: AND FILLS THE FUTURE WORLD WITH FOOLS.
Subject(s): ANGELS; GHOSTS; MEDIUMS; SUPERNATURAL; SPIRITUALISTS;
A TRUST that ancient folly yet shall come
To feed on all the human race;
A ghastly faith that kneels before a lie,
And glories in its own disgrace.

A faith that tramples reason 'neath its foot,
And mocks the wisdom of the schools;
That drives the holy angels out of Heaven,
And fills the future world with fools.
