Fanclatlsm In Spain.
There is a very remarkable phnso of
religious fanaticism in the llttla.villago
of Telex , in the province of Malaga ,
which led to a state prosecution , writes
a correspondent of the London Chron
icle. The devotees of the religion , I
P may call to mind , took it into their
5 * heads , or rather , were led to believe by
I * their leader , a woman who declared
herself a prophetess , that the highest
form of religion was to conduct the
mundane affairs of this life in the
simple garb of Adam and Eve before
the full. This was bad enough , and
If - led , ns I have said to the intervention
' * of the crown , but it was not their only
divergence from the ways of ordinary
mortals , another portion of their doc
trine being to inllict upon themselves
wounds in the hands , breast nnd feet ,
T > such as are shown in representation of
* - the crucifixion. They also burnt all , or
nearly all , their worldly possessions ,
in the belief that a higher power would
provide them with food. Their be
havior , indeed , was such that , as stated ,
the government felt called upon to in-
f torfero , and a day or two ago a number
* * of loaders of this strange soot were put
upon their trial. Already the most ex
traordinary revelations have boon made ,
apart from what may bo called the
spiritual manifestations which these
misguided people declare have boon
made to them. The most interesting
feature in connection with the trial has
* , . boon the experiments in hyponotism ,
which have boon made on the defend
ants by medical specialiststhis being the
first tfino hypnotism has boon resorted
to in Spain in.tho intorcbts of justice.
In nearly every case the defendants
proved to bo good subjects. Many of
the experiments tried by the doctors
were of the most extraordinary char
acter. Ono of tlio accused , for instance
when in a state of hypnotism , on being
ordered to perspire , broke out almost in
a state of profuse perspiration , while
another , who was ordered to ascend a
very high mountain , being the while in
nn ordinary room , behaved us if ho were
actually climbing , his breathing becoming -
coming difllcult and liis heart beating
violently. When this man was told
that ho had reached the summit and
might rest awhile the symptoms of ex
haustion gradually disappeared. Others
were pricked with long pins and gave
no evidence of feeling what was being
'done to thorn. The trial will last sev
eral days longer and will probably re
sult in merely nominal punishment being -
ing imposed upon the r.ccused , who for
the most part seem to bo merely harm
less , weiik-inindod pooife.
Dealing Witli Sinners.
London Telegraph : Zealous preach
ers have always boon in n dilllculty to
decide what is the best way of appeal
ing to the consciences of their congre
gations. Should the homilist make his
denunciations of vice and his admoni
tions to virtue too general in their
character , there is reason to fear that
Ills flock will not profit greatly by coun
sels which will scorn to have no direct
nnd personal relations to themselves.
Everybody's sin , like everybody's busi
ness , is nobody's , and the preacher's
hearers will lislon with complacency to
the worst ho can say of it. If , on the
other hand , ho endeavors to give a
touch of reality to his discourse , to in
fuse into it a dash of the concrete by
sketching a sinner from some model
within his mental , or possibly his physi
cal vision , there is the danger lost the
portrait should bo recognized as that of
some actual or supposed original , well
known to these present , nnd the result
will bo moro productive of scandal
than edification. The exact courbo between -
twoon the Bcylla of platitude und thu
Olmrybdlb of personality u hard to dis
cern and navigate ; and most preachers ,
is wo are painfully aware , avoid it by
keeping well on the sida of the former
Of the two dangers above mentioned , *
* Still there IB not the least reason
though , of course , there is for incompe-
lonoy and indolence a grave temptation
to keep the sermon abstract and unreal -
_ . real , in order to avoid the risk of up-
r poarlng to "preach ut" several members
ot the flock. The text may bo so
handled , the lesson so inculcated , the
consuru so convoyed that all present
shall feel how admirably practical is
thu preacher's ttouVmont of his subject ,
nnd every hearer of the sermon will recognize -
cognize how direct , how salutary , hew
unmistakable is the application to his
neighbor , Smith the grocer will loan
comfortably back in his seat while the
preacher is denouncing commercial
traud , and will ronoct , almost
with a fooling of compassion. "How
hard this hits poor Brown ; " while Mrs.
Gump listens to his warnings against
. r the vice of intemperance with a pious
* hope that Betsy Prig will not fail to lay
them to heart. The pulpit moralist has
only to avoid these last touches of de
lineation which Hx the original of the
portrait , and his eormon may positively
"palpitate with actuality" without giv
ing offense to any one. It is the blessed
privilege of humanity not to recognize
, unfavorable representations of itself
'
except under the-etrongcstpossib'le pros-
sure. That power to which Burns
surely in irony appealed , and which
was to give us the gift of seeing our
selves as others see us , has never yet
done any very extensive business among
the race of men ; and , to judge from the
fact that human complacency does not
appear to diminiah ns the ago of the
world increases , it does not seem prob
able that the number of persons who
are able to take the "dotachod" view of
themselves is over likely to bo very
much larger than it is at present.
A Presbyterian Reunion .
The scheme for Presbyterian reunion
has probably received a very serious
setback in the remarkable action of the
Louisville Presbytery on the subject ,
says the Stale Telegraph. The sum and
substance , in fact , of the Louisville resolution
elution is simply this : Wo are hope
lessly divided at this time , therefore
lot us not discuss the subject , but , in
the curious language of the Louisville
brethren , "await the tinfoldings of God's
providence in the future. " Verily a
color line still exists , nnd race prejudice
is as firmly rooted as in the days
when the black man had no rights
which the white man was bound
to respect. Indeed , these Kentucky
Presbyterians go further and actually
demand that their own benighted south
ern custom of fencing oil the colored
people by themselves , into separate
ohuichos and ecclesiastical organiza
tions , shall bo adopted by the northern
branch of the church. They know full
well that this will never bo done , and it
looks very much as though they had de
clared such a hopeless policy for the ox-
prebs purpose of being "loft alone , " as
was the southern pica twonty-livo years
ago when the great object was to dis
rupt thcQ union. " The action of the
Louisville Presbytery is an infinite dis
credit to the southern church , a sad
blow to evangelical Christianity and
casts a dark and hopeless shadow over
the hitherto growing cause of Christian
union.
A'.Now Origin Attributed to Methodism
The following is from Dr. Eggloston's
illustrated paper in the May Century :
"About 1079 thcro sprang up in England
what were known as the 'religious so
cieties , ' and though a great part of the
religious history of England and her
colonies in the eighteenth century lay
in embryo in that movement , we cannot
now tell the name of its originator or
the source of his inspirations. It is pos
sible that &omo stray heed from Sponer's
pietistic meetings in Germany had
been wafted across the channel , but it
is moro probable that the English socie
ties wcro indigenous. The members of
these obscure associations stirred up
one another to devotion , und re
sorted to the communion of the parish
churches in a body. It was the phe
nomenon so often seen in the world's
religious history occlosia in occlosia
a church growing within a church that
had lost the power to satisfy the aspira
tions of the human spirit. About 1691 ,
a dozen years after their beginning ,
Bomo of these associations came uuder
the influence of the reformatory im
pulse sot a going by the revolution of
1088 , and by this means losing their
merely piotfstic character , they under
took to co-operate for the suppression of
the prevalent vices of the time. Throe
or four years later the hidden leaven
of these societies began to
make itself felt as a force
to bo reckoned with , nnd Queen
Mary nnd Archbishop Tillotson thought
it worth while to lend their approval to
this new movement , which had grown
while sovereigns nnd prelates slum
bered and slept. By 1701 there wore
twenty allied societies for the reforma
tion of manners in the British island
besides forty devout societies' of the
original kind. The most conspicuous
outgrowth of the devout societies was
the Methodist movement of the eigh
teenth century , though I do not know
that the connection has ever before boon
pointed out. The so-cnllod 'Holy Club , '
of Oxford , from which issued the \Vcs-
loys and Whitfleld , appears to have
boon merely ono of the religious so
cieties which had already flourished for
fifty years , and some of which wore
still in existence thirty yours later.
From this same familiar model
Wesley doubtless borrowed the outlines
of the plan that resulted in the moro
highly orgnni/ed Methodist societies
out of which in time have como the
great Methodist bodies , "
Religious 1'eijeiiiilsiii.
Isakni , a Russian , writer , gives some
astounding cases of religious pessimism
in that country. Soots have repeatedly
nrison that teach suicide , and practice
it wholesale. Ono night eighty-four
persons mot in a cavern filled with
straw. The ] > ollco discovered their
intent nnd puruucd them. But they
fired the straw , and these that were not
burned killed each other with hatchets
ono only cxceptod , The Jumpers
have a chief priest whom they call God.
.They do nothing but pray , jump and
contort themselves , closing service with
an all-round kiss. Ono group ndcU
scourging , They eat as llttlo 03 pos
sible , often letting their children die of
hunger , and they forbid the simplest
amusements. They believe that they
only are true chribtians , and atllrm that
Christ will come to set up n kingdom of
a thousand years. Their extravagances
have often been duplicated in our own
country. Bigotry and conceit are
equivalent to deceit at all times. Prob
ably the law of tomi-ornnco , jiihtico and
industry contains the best hiUvution.
Religious Conviction.
Chicago Times : Judge Hcrton has
just honrd the stntoinnnt f Mr. Drano ,
a clerk , who .stook in court yesterday
morning with a golden-haired HUto-boy
bcsido him. Mr. Drane had com
plained that his wlfo , who deserted him
two years ago , had tried to abduct the
boy , who was twining his chubby fing
ers in his father's watchchain , should
remain in Mr. Drano's custody , when n
small , feeble voice was hoard in the
court , "Please , judge , will you hear
moV"
"Como forward , " said the judpo ,
kindly. "What is it ? Who are ? '
All that was immediately visible was
n pair of bouncing boys , two-year-old
twins , who were crowing prodigiously
on a back scat. Presently there
emerged from behind the bouncing
boys a weak , thin , palo llttlo woman ,
who , advancing to the centre of the
court , looked nt the judge , pointed to
the pretty child who stood besides Mr.
Drano , and said , "Please sir , I'm ' his
mother. "
"And whoso are these babies yon-
derV" asked the court.
"Plcaso sir , they're mine , " said the
little woman.
"Ah , then you nro Mrs. Drano. Toll
mo your story. "
"I loft my husband two years ago , "
said she. "I was forced to'leavo him.
God told mo to leave him. "
"WhyV" asked the court.
"Because ho had boon divorced. I
had joined a religious community , and
the members told me that God forbade
mo too live with a divorced man. I
loved him dearly sir , and I loved my
boy ; and I loved the two little children
that were born to mo. But God forbade
mo to live any longer under their
father's roof. " <
"Did your husband support the
babies ? "
"Yos , ho was good. I worked for my
own living , and my husband sent me $3
every week until a few months ago.
And then I learned from a member of
my religious community that by paying
for my children ho gained the right to
take thorn away. And I would rather
die than lot them go. "
' But why did you take your oldest
boyV"
"Because I want him , too. God for
bids mo have a husband , but He does
not take my children from mo. "
"How could you support the boy ? "
"How have I supported the twins ?
Are they not as healthy as ho Is ? O ,
Judge , I would work so hard for him. I
love to work and my heart yearns for
him so. O , sir , I entreat you , do not
keep mo from my boy. "
"Wo will sco , " said Judge Horton ,
moved. "Bo patient. The child will
remain with his father for a fortnight
moro1 and by that tirno perhaps all may
bo happily arranged. "
A few minutes later a little group
was clustered at the court house door.
The father , holding the golden-hairod
boy by one hand , clasped with the other
the frail fingers of his poor little wife ,
and her tears fell fast upon ttio twins ,
who blinked at the sunlightwondering.
