RELIGIOUS VAGARIEs.-Freaky notions in

country, although we have large share of

but the Christadelphians and the Jumpers,

mean to" This sect Is about ten years old,
numbered three years ago two hundred,
and, strange to tell, their faith at that date
had not been tested by the death of one of
their members. When it is they will lind
a way out OF the dilemma, probably. as so
many others have done, by spiritualizing the
obnoxious fact.
There are still followers of Joanna South
cote in London, their faith undisturbed by
the death of their crazy prophecies, whose
ridiculous pretensions are transferred to old
Mrs. Peacock. a woman almost sixty years OF
age The Christ whose birth they now ex

infant, and Satan, whenever that event takes
place, will be indicted and tried, not by

j The last theological freak of opinion that
has come to notice is that of Mr. Ferdinand
FitzGerald, who Is either the editor, or
about to become so, of periodical called
the Bible Earth. This gentleman not only
believes the earth to be Hat, with the sun, a
much smaller body, moving round it at
distance of about four thousand miles, but
he considers it matter concerning which
heresy is dangerous.
He proposes, however, to admit arguments
in favor Of the Newtonian system Of astron
omy into the columns of the Bible Earth,
but can refute them. We hear of the Bible
Earth League, and doubt not that a goodly
number of pious souls will adopt this alb
surd theory as most important article Of
their creed.
1t is our faith that there could not be
theory or dogma propOunded so wild and
preposterous that it would not be defended
with enthusiasm and in time form the nucleus
of a sect, especially if a few Old Testament
passages could be quoted in its support.
