ManyEducatedPeopleWorshipWhyNotEmploy TheDevilInLondonTo-daySacramentals?

TheRev.L.Rumble, M.S.C.,wasrecentlyques-tionedaboutdiabolicalpos- session.

RecentlytheAnglicanBishopRobin,ofAdelaide, saidthatsomementalillnessescouldbeduetopossessionbyevilspiritswhich, inturn,couldbeexpelled bymethodsofChristian exorcism.

R.:Noonecouldreasonablyobjecttothatstatementasitstands.As AldousHuxleyremarked, inabookpublishedin1952, althoughbeliefindevilpossessionwasexaggerated intheMiddleAges,owing toinadequateknowledgeof physiologyandpsychology, itcannotberuledoutentirelyasmerelyanancient superstition.

Hesaysthatitshouldbe treatedasaworkinghypothesis,cautiouslyentertained,whereotherexplan-ationsareinadequate.

Hedeclaresthatinvestigationsintowhatareknown asthephenomenaofextrasensory-perceptionsuchas clairvoyanceandtelepathy pointto largelymentalprocesses independentofspace,timeandmatter;andthat sciencecertainlyhasnothingagainsttheexistenceof evildisembodiedspiritsor devilswhocanexerta banefulinfluenceonhuman beings.

Q.:BishopRobinwasaccusedofencouragingideas only"onestreetawayfrom beliefinwitchcraft."

R.:Thereisnothingwrongwithbelievingintheexistenceofwitchcraft.Needlesstosay,theBishopinno wayintendedtoencourage indulgenceinwitchcraft,a verydifferentmatter.But itwouldbeamistake,even ifonefeltcompelledtodismissnine-tenthsofthereportedcasesofwitchcraftin historyasnotgenuine,to

denytheexistenceofwitchcraftanddevil-possession altogether.

Quiteapartfromthecases ofdevil-possession,andthe exorcismorcastingoutwith prayerofevilspiritsfrom itsvictims,asrecordedin theNewTestament,subsequenthistoryrecordsexampleswhichleavenoroom fordoubtastothereality ofthephenomenon.

Q.:WhenBishopRobin saidthatpeopleobjectedto theideaof"exorcism,"but nottotheideaof"spiritual healing,"hewasattacked bythe"Onlooker,"inthe "Sun-Herald,"ofJanuary9, whosaidthat"beliefin spiritualhealingisone thing,butthatbeliefin demonsascausativeagents andtheirexorcismisquite another."

R.:The"Onlooker"was mistaken."SpiritualHealing"isageneraltermwhichcanincludethetreatment ofmanykindsofdisabilities.Inanswertothe spiritoffaithandthepray-

ersofpatientandpracti- tioner,Godmaygranta cureofnaturalphysicalor mentaldiseases.

Buttherecanbeafflictions,notduetomerely naturalcauses,afflictions arisingfromtheinfluence ofevil fromspirits;andrelief thesecanalsocome withinthescopeofspiritual healing.

Q.:The"Onlooker"said thattalkofdemonsandof exorcismdoes"shockand evenrepelthemodern mind."

R.:Hehasnogroundsfor thinkinghisownideason thesubjectanindicationof the"modernmind"onthe matter.Itmaybethat manypeopleseldomadvert totheproblem,andhave noparticularconvictions aboutit.

Buttheirviewsarecharacterisedchieflybyanabsenceofthought.When thesubjectisbroughtto theirnotice,theyarerather startledthan"shocked"and "repelled"-except,of

course,bytheevjlinvolved inthediabolicalphenomenaofwhichtheyaremade aware.

OnMarch30,1948,the Britishpressannouncedthe deathof Price,thefamousHarry founderoftheCouncilforPsychicalResearch atLondonUniversity.Price wasaspecialistindemonology.

Inanofficialreport,spon- soredbyLondonUniversity, hedeclaredthattherewere manygroupsofhighlyeducatedmenandwomen inLondonitselfwhoregu-larlyworshippedthedevil.

Andhesaidthatblack magic,witchcraftandthe invocationofthedevilwere morewidespreadinLondontodaythanatanytime intheMiddleAges.

Thatsuchdiabolicalprac- ticesarenotinspiredbythe devilismuchmoredifficult tobelievethanthatthey are,whateverthe"Onlooker"imaginesthe"modern mind"tobeonthissubject.
