Circle of Spiritist morality in Toulouse.

We have the pleasure of announcing that a society has just been officially authorized in Toulouse, under the title of Circle of Spiritist morality. We congratulate the founders on the choice of the title, which clearly shows the objective they proposed for themselves, while at the same time it perfectly sums up the essential character of the doctrine. If it is true that nobility obliges, it is no less true to say that the title obliges, unless one belies one's banner. We are convinced that the members of that assembly will know how to justify it. By the very severity of their regulations, of which we have had knowledge, they prove their firm intention to act as true Spiritists. There was formerly in Paris a society, for a long time quite flourishing, of Christian morality. Why should there not be societies of Spiritist morality? It would be the best means of imposing silence on the mockers and of silencing the prejudices that those who do not know Spiritism harbor against it. The quality of member of a society that occupies itself with theoretical and practical morality is a title to esteem and to confidence, even for unbelievers, because it is the equivalent of that of member of a society of honest persons, and every sincere Spiritist should have the honor of forming part of it. Will the jesters of bad taste dare to say that they are societies of fools, of madmen, or of imbeciles? The word circle, adopted by the society of Toulouse, indicates that it is not limited to ordinary sessions, but that it is, moreover, a place of meetings, where the members can come to converse with the special objective of their studies.
