Sauveur des Peuples, Le.
Journal du Spiritisme, Propagateur de l'Unite Fraternelle par le Spiritisme.
Que tous ne soient qu'un (John 17, 21)
1864—1865 Weekly
Bordeaux, France. Language: French. Editor: A. Lefraise; J. du Spone. Succeeded by: L'Union spirite bordelaise (merged with La Ruche Spirite Bordelaise
and Voix d'outre-tombe to form)
1/1, February 1, 1864-May 14, 1865. 4 pp., 6 francs in Bordeaux, 7 francs in the rest of France, 10 in continental Europe, and 14 francs in "pays d'outre mer," which seems to have included Britain. The journal saw its purpose as decidedly progressive and at the same time religious: to unite all men in the fraternal unity of common belief in spirit communication, which called them to repentance and belief in Jesus. It engaged in regular and spirited controversy with bishops who opposed spiritualism, and devoted extensive discussion to the relationship of the new movement to the Catholic Church and to the doctrine of the Church's infallibility, as well as extensive discussion of spiritism's relationship to Freemasonry (Lefrais signed himself in these articles with R.C. followed by the trois puncts). It was Kardecist in its approach to spiritism, with the usual discourses by mediums on the moral virtues, but in the last months of its existence the journal was reduced to long historical discourses on the "Military History of Eugene de Beauharnais," Napoleon's adopted son, by his spirit. Noted in "Notices Bibliographiques," Revue Spirite 7/3 (March 1864), 94. It was apparently under the same management as La Lumiere or was that journal under a different name. BNF.
