The New Religion.

The new religion which was ventilated daring thw ioternatimiai' areas of spintidts and spiritualists, in T arts, says the London Telegraph, has been lost sight of in the reports of tho assembly, but it deserves a few lines as a novelty. It is a compound of Judiasm and Christianity, and its apostle is a priest, the Abbe Iloco , who has been suspended by hTsUFsTiop as being heretic i, but who, like Fere Hyaointhe, insisted that he did not want to leave the real true church ns It existed according to his own lights and convictions. The abbe appeared at the congress in a serai-ecclesiastical' costume, nd whlle most of the speakers were curtailed he was allowed full leave and license to pound away with his exposition of doctrine, and his terrible ful*ruinations against what he called the Vatican Christ. According to the nbbe, ■very man was an involunt ry Christ —a deity, in fact. 1 here was a ChrisV medium, St Paul, St. Luke and the Prophet Isaiah being also of that order. Spiritualists, he contended, could well afford to adopt this religion of the general Christ, since it was in consonance with their doctrines.
