'''{{Style S-Small capitals|A branch}} of the Theosophical Society is going to be established at Delhi. A local paper tells us that “several Native gentlemen have applied to the ‘head Office’ in India, to be enrolled members of the Order. They have been informed that arrangements will be made to meet their wishes by the starting of a branch in Delhi with as little delay as possible.”'''

—We live in an age of progress, a remark which is trite, but justifiable, for the New York Times tells us that babies are for the future practically abolished. A certain Dr. Tavernier, “who was attached to hospital for foundlings in France,” places the future Shakespeare, or Gladstone, or Madame Blavatsky, in a neat little box with a glass front and provided with a nursing bottle. The apparatus is placed in a dark room, and kept artificially at about the summer temperature of Mooltan, and in six months this regimen produces the equivalent of some eight years of ordinary growth. A child of sixteen pounds weight to begin with, at the end of this “incubation” as the doctor calls it, weighs some eighty pounds and can walk and talk, and act generally as an intelligent being. Fancy how a similar process would make Secretaries into Viceroys; the artificially-manufactured queen-bee is nothing to it. What a pity it is that it is only an American paper which tells the story.—Indian Daily News.

{{Style S-Small capitals|With}} reference to the dramatic performances which our friends of the New Dispensation have, of late, taken to so heartily as a potent means of disseminating the principles of their religion, our Unitarian contemporary of the Christian Life says: “We confess with sadness we are turning less and less hopeful of the gain to pure religion by the Brahmo movement in India. We read of Mr. Sen associating the drama with his movement, and also of his acting; and then his defence in such language as the followi{{Style S-HPB SB. Lost}}:—‘Perhaps our critics have not yet had their spiritu{{Style S-HPB SB. Lost}} eyes opened to the exaltedness of the position in which the believer acts his part as devoutly on the stage as on the stage of life. To be godly in amusement, to feel the temple on the stage is a blessed thing. But alas! the natural man understandeth not the things of the spirit.’ All this sounds oddly to us, and we think is a sad towering of tone. Had Luther, Wesley and others taken to the stage we would not have known their names this day.” Mr. Sen’s inventive genius is inexhaustible, and now that he has once come to look upon rites, ceremonies and dramatic performances as a better means of preaching religion than the simple and deeply spiritual preaching of his better days, our contemporary and other sensible men like him may well turn less and less hopeful of the gain to pure religion by ''his'' movement; we have turned simply ''hopeless'' of any such gain by it. But why identify the so-called New Dispensation with the Brahmo movement in India? Neither we nor our New Dispensationist friends identify the one with the other.

Of 862,346 persons 299,542 return themselves as members of the Church of England and 197,157 as Catholics, making nearly 500,000 among these two bodies. The Presbyterians of all shades muster about 100,00; the Methodists nearly as many; but the Baptists are only 20,000; and the Independents 66; 11,000 return themselves as Pagans; 20 as of “no church, no creed at present,” three as “save sinners,” three as “£ s. d.,” two as “Neutrals,“ and one as a “Borrowite,” a “Millerite,” a “Walkerite,” a “Colensoite,” a “Theosophist,” and a “Silent Admirer”!
