Spiritist Union of BordeauxThe latest issue of the Union, that is now reaching us, and that ends its second year, contains the following notice:
Absorbed by the material work imposed on us by the need to provide for our needs and those of the family, that we have the task of raising, we have not been allowed to publish regularly the latest issues of the Spiritist Union. We will not hide it, in the presence of this task both so painful and so unappreciated that we have imposed on ourselves, we wondered if we should not stop and leave to others, more fortunate than us, the care to continue the work we have undertaken, with as much ardor as with conviction and faith. But, yielding to the urges of many of our readers, who think that the Spiritist Union not only has its reason for being, but has already done, and is called upon to do, perhaps in the very near future, a great service to Spiritism, we have resolved to walk still forward, and still face the difficulties of all kinds that are piling up under our feet. Only, to make such a task possible for us, and to avoid the irregularity that, unfortunately, until now we have been the victim so often, we have had to make major changes to our method of publication.
The Spiritist Union, that will begin its third year next June, will now appear once a month only, in 32-page notebooks, large in-8 °. The price of the subscription will be set at 10 francs per year.
We hope that our subscribers will be willing to accept these conditions that are, moreover, those of the Spiritist Review of Allan Kardec, and of almost all the publications or philosophical reviews of Paris, and that by sending us, as soon as possible, their membership, they will make it as easy as possible for us to accomplish the work to which, for more than four years, we have made such great sacrifices.
A Bez.”
We are among those who regard this journal as having its reason to be and its usefulness; by the spirit in which it is written, it can and must render incontestable services to the cause of Spiritism. We congratulate Mr. Bez on his perseverance, despite the material difficulties he encounters in his very position. He took, in our opinion, a very wise course in only publishing it once a month, while providing the same amount of material. One cannot imagine the time and expenses that entail the publications that appear several times a month, when one is obliged to suffice alone or almost alone; it is absolutely necessary to have nothing else to do, and to renounce any other occupation. By appearing on the 15th of each month, for example, it will alternate with our Spiritist Review; in this way, those who would like it to appear more often, that is impossible, will find in it the complement of what they want, and will not be deprived of reading the subjects in which they are interested for so long. We are asking for their assistance to support this publication.

Spiritualist Progress
New journal appearing twice a month, since April 15th, in the format of the old Avenir to which it announces to succeed. The Future had made itself the representative of ideas to which we could not give our support. This is not a reason why these ideas do not have their media, so that everyone is able to appreciate them, and that we can judge their value by the sympathy they find in the majority of Spiritists and their agreement with the teaching of the generality of the Spirits. Spiritism, adopting only the principles consecrated by the universality of teaching, sanctioned by reason and logic, has always worked, and will always work with the majority; that's what makes it strong. It, therefore, has nothing to fear from divergent ideas; if they are righteous, they will prevail, and they will be adopted; if they are wrong, they will fall.
We cannot yet appreciate the line that this journal will follow, in this respect; in any case, we make it our duty to point out its appearance to our readers, so that they can judge it for themselves. We will be happy to find in it a serious new champion of its doctrine, and in that case, we will wish it good luck.
Office: rue de la Victoire, n ° 34. - Price: 10 francs per year.

Researches about the causes of Atheism
In response to Mgr. Dupanloup's brochure, by a Catholic.
Brochure in-8 °, at MM. Didier et Compagnie, 35, quai des Augustins, and at the Revue Spirite office. - Price: 1 franc, 25 cents; by post: 1 franc, 45 cents.
The author of this remarkable writing, although sincerely attached to Catholic beliefs, set out to demonstrate to Bishop Dupanloup what are the real causes of the plague of atheism, and of the incredulity that invades society; according to her, interpretations inadmissible today, and irreconcilable with the positive data of science. She proves that, in many points, the Church has deviated from the real meaning of the Scriptures, and the thought of the sacred writers; that religion can only gain from a more rational interpretation that, without touching the fundamental principles of dogmas, would be reconciled with reason; that Spiritism, founded on the very laws of nature, is the only possible key to a sound interpretation, and by that very fact, the most powerful remedy against atheism. All of this is said simply, coldly, without emphasis or exhilaration, and with strict logic. This writing is a complement to Faith and Reason, by M. J. B., and to the Dogmas of the Church of Christ explained according to Spiritism, by M. Bottinn.
Although a woman, the author shows great theological erudition; she quotes and comments with remarkable accuracy the sacred writers of all times, and with almost as much ease as Mr. Flammarion quotes scientific authors; we see that they are familiar to her, which leads us to say that she is probably not in her beginnings in these matters, and that she must have been some eminent theologian in her previous existence. Without sharing all her ideas, we say that from the point of view where she placed herself, she could not speak better in a different way, and that she did a useful thing for the time in which we are now.
