The New Religion.

The new religion which was ven-i dlated during the international gross of spiritists and spiritualists, in Paris, says the London Telegraph, ha 4 been lost sight of in the reports of thd assembly, but it deserves a few lines a novelty. It is a compound of Judiasm and Christianity, and its apostle is d priest, the Abbe Rocc , who has been suspended by his bishop us being heretic 1, but who, like Pere Hyacintbej insisted that be did not want to leave the real true church as it existed according to his own lights and convictions. The abbe appeared at the congress in a semi-ecclesiastical costume,i and while most of the speakers were| curtailed he was allowed full leave and' license to pound away with his exposk tion of doctrine, and his terrible ful* mi nations against what he called the) Vatican Christ According to the abboj every man was an involunt ry Christ —a deity, in fact. There was a Christ-' medium, St Paul, St Luke and the! Prophet Isaiah being also of thatorder.i Spiritualists, he contended, could well' afford to adopt this religion of thd general Christ since it was in ance with their, doctrines.
