The Latest "Freak" Eeligion.

In " freak " religious dt^elepmente the tfaited States is, for tha timo foeJßgj outdone by Germany. The kingdom of Wurtemberg has always been a hot-bed for thfl growth oi carious sects, generally of a Pietist character! The latest of these bodies has its headquarters in Stuttgart, and mks to establish branch communities in the other towns and villages of the counfry. The chief tenets of the new body, which calls itse'f <s Brethren <i the Sword of Spirit," are the following :— Tha Bible contains God's word, but ib is not for every reader. Only the Bretfcan of the Sword of the Spirit oan understand it and impart its lessons to .ithefs. The • brethren ' bind them it^ves to cMibacy ; they are vegetariins aod opoosed to the use of tobacco and jbahofin a i ':fc^ form?. No comraumty 3-.a Dumber more than twenty-five brethren, who are called "families." Thsee fanjilie"s have each a ' father ' anil 'j.iothfr,' who arf in special coaiteunion with the 'spuit.' Every Saturday they raeet for worship, and the father oi mother iben ' reveals' the messago of the work, which hf or she haa re ceivrd direct from the spirit.

This message regulates their entirp life, not merely the religious part of it. Prayer they have abolished as unnecessary. Ihe sect of brethren of the Sword of the Spirit meet at ni^ht in the hmse of one of tlu-ir number. On the table in front of the !1 rtveahr " ia a naked sword Bymbolishing the 11 spirit."

A story of the Veldt.
