By telegraph, Preso A'as’n, Copyright ~.,3 Received 12,55 a.m,, Aug. 17. London, Aug. 16Tho Morning Leader states that the Registrar of Bridgewater was summoned to the “ Abode of Love,” Sparton, Somerset, to register Smith-Piggatt’s baby. He saw in the Chapel 40 worshippers. Reid, Piggott’s secretary, Piggott, and the Registrar were the only men present. , A beautiful young woman lay on the Oouch, whereon was the babe, dressed in white, Piggott admitted that he was the father of the child. The mother, Ruth Greece, was desoribed as a lady, but iu the next reply she described herself as a nurse. The child was then christened “ Glory.” Tbore was a splendid choral service, the mother and child receiving homage. “ Glory ” is considered to be the new Messiah. Piggott’s legal wife was present or’ in the vioimty of the Chapel. Greece has been deluded into believing herself Piggott’s divinely • appointed spiritual bride, and as such is received by Agapemouites.
