Written to priests by Mrs. J.B., with that occasional title that is a very characteristic sign of our time
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
John 16:12-14
Our thoughts above with respect to the Avenir do not apply only to periodical publications but also to any other books or brochures whose number multiplies incessantly and whose authors are equally champions that joined the battle and bring their stone to the edifice. Our fraternal welcome greeting to all those defenders, men and women, that shaking the burden of old prejudices, raise the flag without second intentions, without any other interest but the general well-being, launching the liberating and emancipating scream of humanity: There is no salvation but through charity! As soon as that scream was heard for the first time everyone understood that it containing a whole moral revolution, presented and desired for a long time and that found sympathetic echo on all five corners of the planet. It was welcomed like the dawn of a happy world and in a few months it became the connecting words of every sincere Spiritist. Fact is that after such a lengthy and cruel fight against egotism that lemma finally allowed us to foresee the kingdom of fraternity.
The brochure that we announce here was written by a lady, member of the Parisian Society of Spiritist Studies, excellent medium, manager of a private group that is remarkably coordinated and someone that cannot be criticized but for an excess of modesty, if there could be excess in good. She only signed with her initials because she thought that an unknown name is not a recommendation and that she is not concerned with be seeing as a writer. That will not subtract from her the courage of expressing her opinion that she hides from nobody.
Mrs. J.B. is sincerely Catholic, but a very enlightened Catholic, and that says all. Her brochure is written from that point of view and for that very reason it addresses mainly the ecclesiastics. It is impossible to refute with more talent, elegance in the form and moderation and logic the arguments that an exclusive and blind faith opposes to the new ideas. We recommend this interesting piece of work to our readers. They can fearlessly propagate it among those persons of a very somber susceptibility with respect to the orthodoxy of the Church, giving it as a response to the attacks addressed to Spiritism, from a religious point of view.
