Satan looked on and witnessed the heavy blow which Brother Hull dealt to spiritualism in Battle Creek. Spiritualists understood his organization, and felt assured it would not be in vain to make a determined effort to overthrow him who injured their cause so much. In discussing with spiritualists you have not merely to meet man and his arguments, but Satan and his angels. And never should one man be sent forth alone to combat with a spiritualist. If the cause of God really demands that we confront Satan and his host as represented by a spiritual medium, if enough is at stake to call for such a discussion, then several should go forth together that with prayer and faith the host of darkness may be driven back and the speaker shielded by angels that excel in strength. {1T 428.2}

Satan har set på og fremhjulpet det svære slag, som bror Hull slog for spiritismen i Battle Creek. Spiritisterne forstod hans organisation og følte sig sikre på at det ikke ville være forgæves at kuldkaste ham, som har skadet deres sag så meget. [I en diskussion med spiritister møder du ikke blot mennesker og deres argumenter, men Satan og hans engle. Aldrig skulle nogen sendes alene for at diskutere med en spiritist. Hvis Guds arbejde virkelig kræver, at vi skal møde Satan og hans hær repræsenteret ved et medium - hvis der står nok på spil til at en sådan diskussion må finde sted, bør mange følges ad, i bøn for og tro på, at mørkets magter vil blive overvundet og taleren beskyttet af mægtige engle.
