Spiritualist Progress.

A new journal that appears twice a month, since April 15, in the format of the former Avenir, which it announces it is succeeding. The Avenir had constituted itself the representative of ideas to which we could not give our adherence. This is no reason for such ideas not to have their organ, so that everyone may be in a position to appreciate them, and so that one may judge their value by the sympathy they find among the majority of Spiritists and their concordance with the teaching of the generality of the Spirits. Since Spiritism adopts only the principles consecrated by the universality of the teaching, sanctioned by reason and logic, it has always marched and will always march with the majority; it is this that constitutes its strength. There is, therefore, nothing to fear from divergent ideas; if they are correct, they will prevail and Spiritism will adopt them; if they are false, they will fall. We cannot yet appreciate the line that the new journal will follow in this respect. In any case, we judged it a duty to point out its appearance to our readers, so that they may judge it for themselves. We will be happy to find in it a new serious champion of their doctrine and, in that case, we wish it great success.
