Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary Spiritual and Earthly of James Johnston Believing that the present time is most opportune for the publication of this work, and having been much urged by friends in the Church to bring it before the public, I therefore willingly comply with their wish, hoping that its reception may be fully equal to their anticipations. In placing this work, however, before the reader, I wish distinctly to state that I place no confidence in the "spiritism" so called, which of late years has been publicly put forth. Indeed, I have examined the subject very carefully, and feel fully convinced that it is both unreliable and calculated only to deceive. To those who have refused to receive modern spiritism I would say - Do not identify Swedenborg with such absurdities. Read him carefully, and you will soon be convinced that his teaching is as far removed from modern spiritism as the sun from the moon - indeed I might say, as heaven from hell; for that such is the fact will ere long be made clear to many whose eyes are at present closed. In introducing this work I think it will be necessary for me to state briefly the facts which led to my acquaintance with its author, James Johnston, together with certain circumstances connected with the author´s original manuscript, which came into my charge after his death in the year 1840. When I was but a child my father was a member of Dr. Cowherd´s church in Salford, near Manchester, where I frequently accompanied him. An acquaintance of the author, named McFarlane, was also connected with this society, as was also a Mr. George Horrocks. At this period James Johnston had withdrawn himself from church membership and attended the New Jerusalem churches in Manchester and Salford under the ministry of Mr. Jones and Mr. Hindmarsh. Mr. Horrocks was a master dyer and employed many workmen, when it happened that the author fell out of employment and applied to his friend Mr. McFarlane to procure him a situation with Mr. Horrocks. About this time my father obtained a situation under Mr. Horrocks as townsman, and eventually became a partner with him in the business where previously to this I had been employed for some time.
