TELLS OF FUTURE RELIGION

It Will Be Based on Science, Declares Camille Flammarlon, Noted French Savant

London. —An article on “The Religion of the Future” by Camille Flammarion in the current number of the Occult Review Is Attracting a good deal of attention. As far back as 1861 M. Flammarlon became a member of the Paris Society for the Study of Spiritualism, and for many years past he has kept in touch with most of the psychic phenomena observed throughout the world. His forecast of the religion of the future is that It will be “scientific and will be founded on a knowledge of psychical facts.” —He says:

“This religion of science will have one great advantage over all that has gone before it —unity. Today a Jew or a Protestant cannot believe in the miracles of Lourdes, a Musselman hates the dog of a Christian, a Buddhist cannot accept the dogmas of the western world. ' —.- “No one of these divisions will exist in a religion founded on the general scientific solution of psychical problems.” t
