THE REGENERATION.


! Telegraph, Orson S. Murray gives notice
that when this volume Of his paper shall
I have closed, he shall succeed il with a
paper bearing the lille of "7He Regene,a
tor" This will be rather a significant title.
! And all who are acquainted with brother
Murray know him TO mean something when
he talks or writes. If, in the work OF re
generating, he don't get hold Of some things
which are now rig ht, he must possess more
wisdom and integrity than most men. For,
when man sees ong.cherished principles
and practices, which he thinks should be
eradicaed, his vision must be rery clear,
else he will in some cases mistake the
wheat for the tares. After enumera,ing the
teachings and practices of professors of re,
ligi, 10 past and present limes--the wrong
inflicted on the mass, in consequence of
such teachings and doings, he discourses
thus:
"Thcre is another god, not yet de.
signated, that all the void have wor-
sh pped together. 1t has not produced
more harmony than the others, because,
like them, its work and its Worship is ali
unnatural Every war upon nature
must cease before the universe can be
harmonized and the entire regeneration
and disenthrallment of mankind be CT
tected. This great god that is wor.
shipped m re than all others, in church
aud in state, is Money. Temple-wor-
ship lays special claim to a seventh part
of the time only. Mammon-worship
occupies the other six. And very close
observation won d no, be needed to dis
cover 1t going on under cIokes quite ex-
tenslvely on the seventh. While this
lido airy continues, man will continue to
be degraded, be>otted, wrctched be-
ing. 1t has its foundation in ignorance
of the true philosophy of life and saliva
ton All Efforts to save men from sin,
while they are left worshippers at the
shrine of this monster, will avail but lit
tie. Here is where men sacrifice eve
rything all they can grasp of the low
er creation, their fellow beings, all their
other gods, if needed, and their own
lives al, all is not too much to lay up
on this alta. What will not man do for
money? What has no: teen erasped,
valued in dollars and cents, and sold for
gain If ANYTHING has escaped, it is
because it has been out of reach
The earth and its products have been
seized on, redu ed to the condition of
individual property, and bought and sold
or money. Men have ems aved and
sold out themselves to mental services
for money, Then they have laid p rat
icai hands on the r brethren, subjected
them TO brutal vassalage and SO d them
for money. Preaching and all manner
OF teaching are valued in dollars and
cents and sold for money. All moral
actions are tried by this great, false
standard. There is nothing man can
not do, if he has power with this god,
from robbing hen-roost to robbing and
cXtermlnatlng nation. He may grind
the face Of the poor, tread on the necks
OF his neighbcrs, defraud community,
darken and deprave all around him, and
shed innocent blood. The SHINING and
suffer- that can be traced to this mon
ey-sEstem--th system of placing val
ne on things d TAX ng them into indi-
vldual possession, aud thus setting the
interests OF men at war--is beyond all
bounds, and all conception"
1t is readily admitted that, for monev, or
what is usually termed property, all grades
OF crime have been committed. How 10
remedy this devastation Of moral rights is
The question. infer from brother Murray's
remarks that this god must be demolished
that the idea Of a mans holding properly,
and calling ii his, must be exploded,
hardly think this can be done until mans
individual wants cease 10 exist, or, until
superior race-a race Of men perfectly holy
and perfectly wise come on to The stage.
And as for money, | can not see how the
'Regenerator can be published in New.
York, and sent TO all paris Of The land.
without using it. Orson thinks Of going 10
that place, New York, on account of max
ing larger blast than he could here. /
suppose he'll put in charge about the size
Of that used in blowing off part of the
Cliff? named on the outside of this sh Get,
thinking TO crack the old mountain system,
and sink, at least, part Of it IN the East
River, down somewhere near Hurl Gale.
But if he don't look out, while he's charging,
Ignition will take place, and he'll get blowed
sky high, without starting the big rock of
individual rights. So look out brother M.
when you charge.
