The Devil Worshipers!

The recent robberies of consecrated
hosts in the Church of Notre Dame
and in many of the churches in Franco
goes to prove the existence OF sacrl-
legious sects which worship the devil.
The extraordinary religion has been
many times denounced by Mgr. Fava,
Bishop of Grenoble. The romance
writer Huysmans made it the subject
of a work entitled "La-Bas.
The multiplicity of established facts
tends to strengthen the belief in the
real existence of the Satanic sect. A
reporter of the Matin has just inter-
viewed NJ. Huysmans upon this flend-
ish subject, because he evidently based
the strange revelations of his work up
on actual observations.
lit is quite true, said M. Hugs
mans ..ha: have written my book from
facts that were given to me by we'll
informed person, but the Luciferian
world became excited, and the adopts
of the black mass who had at first
welcomed NE as one of their own sud-
denly broke off all communication with
me. But am convinced that the rob-
berry of the consecrated hosts in Notre
Dame was committed by the Satanites.
who, by the way, never steal the chalices,
like common church thieves. These
robberies are very frequent and there
is hardly day that the clergy of Izire
especially have not to report the pro-
fanation of the tabernacles.
Al can youch for the truth of the
statements which now give you, and
which were made to me by an eyewit-
ness in whose veracity have absolute
confidence.
..In a part of the canton of Faibourg,
called the Grande-FOntaine, there ex-
lists in the rear of house of ordinary
appearance sort of grotto cut in the
rock. The house is occupied by the
tiler of tho Masonic lodge. La Re-
peneree. The members of this lodge
hold their ordinary communications
there; but those who belong to the Sa-
tanic sect meet on certain days in the
grotto, which is decorated like Cath
Ollie church. The choiS is raised above
the ground floor and separated from
the nave by a communion table. In
the centre stands an altar surmounted
by the grand blazing star This Ma
sonic emblem takes the place OF the
cross. In front of the choir there is
another altar, intended for the profan-
alton of the consecrated hosts. Be-
tween the house and the grotto there
is a little garden, intended tor the GER
emonies preparatory to the sacrifice
/ could not very we'll describe the
character of these ceremonies, but it is
enough to say that the costume de
riguer for the lady members is that of
Eve before the fall.
ut is these sisters who are charged
with the duty of furnishing the hosts,
which they procure for the most part
through sacrilegious communions.
Moreover. they make black hosts which
the Grand Mistress solemnly conse-
crates to Lucifer. There ceremonies
are parody of the mass. and pslams
are sung in honor of satan. On the
little altar in front of the choir they
stab with daggers the consecrated
hosts; and finally they proceed with
the communion according to the black
rite.
Il should add that the Lodge Re-
generee of Fribourg does not belong to
Free Masonry proper. Its delegates
have been cut off from all communion
ton with the German lodges in which
the influence of Findel is predomi-
nant, and which is hostile to Satanic
masonry.
THAT is all that / can add to the
revelations that appear in my book. -
