A GERMANS VIEW OF COL. INGERS0lL,'


| CHICAGO, Nov. lit is u heart-sichening
against the questioning, Investigating, and as-
serting, free, independent mind. The cause Of
these so many late snecrs is Col Ingersoll, who
certainly, if not faultles5, is defender Of tree
thought and human rights.
Col. 1ngcrsoli Is judged from theological
standpoint; where is the man OF woman who
can deny thisl II this be the case, then let US
investigate whether the above profession hasa
right to judge.
Theology asserts that moral laws arc dicta-
ton Of God. I mean tue theological God,-a
fictitious being,-not God the ideal in man, but
the idol Of man.
Now, let us Investigate, without fear OF the
sncers and anatlemas arbitration may hurl
against us, whether the above is true; if so
then surely truth goes before fiction.
We find no moral laws, nor any moral OF iul-
moral practices, III Nature, except among men;
We find it to he i law to build up, govern, and
preserve society; the object and aim are the
] rights, liberty, and happiness Of u1en-
We may bear in mind that there arc no hu-
| man rights Or wrongs In Nature; that what L
right or wrong among ulea grows out OF an IN
derstanding between themselves. The rights
| Of men arc only views aud products Of the hu-
! man mind, aud arc created and called forth IN
man by circumstances which surround him, aud
conditions in which he lives and exists.
That this is true, we can lind out if We 20
back to the causes Of the will in men.
Thinking, reasoning, but honest men will not
deny that there can uc no will in man without
desire, ami no desire without circumstances.
Afen,--1 mean thinking, reasoning, honest
men,-if they all would unite, could create
circumstances and conditions i'll which the sense
for the true, the good, and the beautiful, which
slumbcrs in every man and woman, would
fully awake, and point out the will and the ST.
tions Of men.
The above shows clearly to all wcll-meaning,
thinking, reasoning men the real fountain out
OF which the law flows which makes the biped
man human.
The law, from icticious causes, is an impo-
sltion on the human mind bv powers of arbl-
tration, who bold their bacchanai feasts and
orgies upon the graves, dungeons, aud ruins d
mems minds. A. STEMrEL4
