{{Style P-Quote|''to go over them. But I am not of opinion that there need be any publication at all. The Teachings are on record, and people who want them will find them. They will be none the worse for having been sought out at some trouble. And folks exaggerate the audience to which they would appeal. Nor do I think that many would understand or enter into what you say. And if it be not heresy, I can quite conceive their doing some minds great harm. In my view they are esoteric, and should be left to the modified publicity they have already had.''}}

{{Style P-No indent|The other day a solemn conclave met in Paris to do honour to a name which, although a borrowed one, has in the space of less than twenty years made the circuit of the globe, and founded a school of religious philosophy in which its adepts seem to find the meeting point of Mysticism and Methodism. Allan Kardec, whose imposing tomb at Père-Lachaise cannot fail to have attracted the attention of the most careless visitor to that city of the dead, was the son of a French lawyer, and was born at Lyons in the early years of the century. His real name was Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, and with it for more than fifty years he was content to live a life of obscurity. Some few years, however, after the establishment of the Second Empire, Spiritualistic manifestations were imported into France from across the Atlantic. It fascinated Rivail’s mind, long given up to the study of the mediæval Mystics. In 1858 he had gathered around him so many fellow-believers that a “Société des Études Spirites” was constituted, and a few months later their organ, the ''Revue Spirite'', appeared. Both the Association and the organ still survive, and claim to be making important progress, not only in France, but in every Continental country.—''Daily News''.}}
