HUMAN SACRIFICES.
MODERN RELIGIOUS FANATICS WHO
BELIEVE IN THEM.
Milny Peculiar Sce<? In (lie Old
World, rarllmlnrly In Iloiila,
Wlinnc Member* Iv III and Crucify
Tlint Solvation May lie Attained.
That huruan sacrifices have been
made even in the nineteenth century,
and by professing Christians, too. Is
brought out by The American Journal
of Sociology in a striking article:
The Couvulsionists, a sect existing in
Paris about 1700, were wont to crucify
members of their order, in emulation
of the crucifixion of the Saviour, in the
belief that the souls of the surviving
members would be saved by the sacrifices
of their fellows. In 1S17 the
"Paschclians," an Austrian sect, murdered
a man, his wife and daughter
under the delusion that the trio, who
refused to go with the fanatics, were
possessed of the devil. On the following
day they crucified one of their own
number, a girl of 11) years, who hud
suffered herself for the death. In imltaUoii
of the denial of the Saviour, in
ele In Switzerland, after having dispatched
her sister, who gave her life
us a means of saving the souls of her
relatives, was crucified by her followers
at her own command in order that
she might die, rise again after three
days and restore to life the sister she
had slain. In 18Go two mothers, adherents
of the "Iloly Men." slew their
sick children, believing them to be victims
of demoniacal possession. In
187."> a Hungarian miller, belonging to
the "Nazaroues," killed his son as an
offering for his own sins after the
