Reverend Williamson denounces "unrestrained spiritualism on the one hand, and earth-bound materialism on the other. The former, peopling the universe with gods and goddesses, sprites and demons ...has generally been in the ascendant, and Philosophy herself has bowed down at the shrine of her vague superstitions; for, aside from divine revelation, spiritualism is always superstitious."
