tured last night at Trades Union Hall on

put forth by many that the Bible and the
churches were the pioneers OF civilization
and progress was an error, and that the
churches, on the contrary, had almost invaria-
bly, set themselves against progressive move.
ments tending toward a higher civilization.
He lauded Mhhomet - man Of genius, who
believed ina spiritual god, and contended that
Europe In the middle ages was lifted from
darkness to light through the influence OF the
Saracens. Charlemagne and Alfred OF Eng
land had made strenuous efforts to bring forth
q higher and better civilization In Europe,
but were eontln uslly opposed by the Church.
He contended that true Christianity did not
depend upon material church; that the mon
itor within must teach men and women their
duty to God and humanity that all the pray
ing which others could do would not accom-.
plish the reformation Of any person-that
every one must accomplish that desirable OBJ
lect for himself and through his own efforts.
He cited numerous evidences to show that the
Churches were opposed to progress, and said
that when Fulton Invented his steamboat,
Christian ministers In New York had admon'
ished their hearers not to have anything to do
with u, as IL was the work OF the devil. lie
said that Jesus of Nazareth was true spir.
