Experimental Investigation of the Spirit Manifestations

Experimental Investigation of the Spirit Manifestations - Demonstrating the existence of spirits and their communion with mortals. Doctrine of the spirit world respecting heaven, hell, morality, and God. Also, the influence of Scripture on the morals of Christians.
