Description
Excerpt from Elise: A Story of the Civil War
A wave of misguided faith seems sweeping the world in these latter days, at a time when all faith in the supernatural is apparently dying Out.
A half truth is always more dangerous than a whole lie. There is generally a grain of truth to be found in all heresies, which only makes them the more dreadful. Spiritualism, with its vulgar seances, table tipping and silly, empty messages from the unseen world, is not so dangerous a form of heresy as that which now holds the minds of many under the names Of Psychology, Mind-reading, Soul-building, etc., etc.
It is with this thought that we have tried to Show by means Of a simple child''s story that our Holy Mother the Church can satisfy our needs and longings for com munion with the unseen world around'' us, far better than any method Of man''s invention.
That our Lord SO bent Himself to the weakness Of our human nature, as to do most Of His teaching through stories; and that there is a need Of Catholic books for children, is one excuse for writing one.
