Declaration of Principles

Adopted by the
NATIONAL SPIRITUALIST ASSOCIATION
U. 5. A.

l. \\'e believe in Infinite Intelligence.

2. \Ye believe that the phenomena of nature, both
physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite
Intelligence.

’3

o. \Ye affirm that a correct understanding of such
expression and living in accordance therewith consti-
tute true religion.

4. 'We affirm that the existence and personal identity
of the individual continue after the change called death.

5. \Ve affirm that communication with the so-called
(lead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena
of Spiritualism.

6. \Ve believe that the highest morality is contained
in the Golden Rule: “Whatsoever ye would that others
should do unto you, do ye also unto them.”

7. We affirm the moral responsibility of the indi—
vidual, and that he makes his own happiness or un—
happiness as he obeys or disobeys Nature’s physical
and spiritual laws.

8. \Ve affirm that the doorway to reformation is
never closed against any human soul here or hereafter.

9. We affirm that the precepts of prophecy
contained in the Bible are scientifically proven
through Mediumship.

 DEFINITIONS

Adopted by the

NATIONAL SPIRITUALIST ASSOCIATION
Adopted October, 1914, 1919, 1930

l. Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy and Re—
ligion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated
fact of communication, by means of mediumship, with
those who live in the Spirit World.

2. A Spiritualist is one who believes, as the basis
of his or her religion, in the communication between
this and the spirit world by means of mediumship,
and who endeavors to mould his or her character and
conduct in accordance with the highest teachings de-
rived from such communion.

3. A Medium is one whose organism is sensitive
to vibrations from the spirit world and through whose
instrumentality intelligences in that world are able to
convey messages and produce the phenomena of Spir-
itualism.

4. A Spiritualist Healer is one who, either through
his own inherent powers or through his mediumship,
is able to impart vital, curative force to pathologic
conditions.

“Spiritualism Is a Science” because it investigates,
analyzes and classifies facts and manifestations demon-
strated from the spirit side of life.

“Spiritualism Is a Philosophy” because it studies
the laws of nature both on the seen and unseen sides of
life and bases its conclusions upon present observed
facts. It accepts statements of observed facts of past
ages and conclusions drawn therefrom, when sustained
by reason and by results of observed facts of the
present day.

“Spiritualism Is a Religion” because it strives to
understand and to comply with the Physical, Mental
and Spiritual Laws of Nature, “which are the laws
of God.”

PREFACE

The need for a book of songs by the Societies and
Churches of Spiritualists, has long been recognized by the
National Spiritualist Association; and earnest effort was
made to secure appropriate contributions.

Under direction of the Board of Trustees, the first col~
lection was made by Rev. G. Tabor Thompson, which was
later supplemented by Mrs. Zaida Brown Kates.

Dr. J. M. Peebles donated to the N. S. A. the plates
and ownership of “The Spiritual Harp,” from which collec-
tion a number of choice songs have been included in this vol- A
ume. Selections of excellence from other song books by
Spiritualists, are used. A number of excellent contributions
by individuals have been inserted. Songs with music notes
are exclusively used. Many helps have been given by music
publishers. For all of these favors, thanks are here extended.

This Hymnal should serve well for a better develop-
ment of congregational singing, and also for choir and family
use.

The N. S. A. Board of Trustees send the book forth
hoping it may find its way into your services of song.

And our feet they have stumbled and faltered, For our eyes have been blinded with tears.
