- Transcription
One idea further: Good angels and spirits never leave the realms of glory without permission or commission: and when they arrive on the earth, the first salutation is, (if an angel) I am Michael: I am Gabriel: or I am one of thy fellow servants the prophets—worship God. No clairvoyance: no mesmerism: no spiritual rapping: nor no making medicine. No, they come like a God and act like a God.
