We now return to developments in Christendom, and particularly in North America. Spiritualism is adroitly adaptable to changing conditions and contingencies. It either operates in the open or goes underground, as occasion indicates. It functions both outside the churches and maneuvers from within. It can be secular, religious, or scientific. It is equally effective in benighted pagan lands and in Christendom, in Catholic countries and Protestant strongholds, where ignorance prevails and where erudition is at its peak. Utilizing its multiple forms and channels, it sweeps on with increasing success. There is nothing quite like it. CFF2 1230.1
