Joy is wealth,
Labor is the only prayer that has any right
to expect an answer.
Does not the credit system in morals breed
extravaganza in SIM
A lie will not fit fact; it will only fit
another lie made for the purpose.
Fear paints pictures of ghosts and hangs
them in the gallery of ignorance,
Every fact pushes superstition from the
brain and ghost from the clouds.
For ages, reason was the cry of a drowning
man, lost In the roar of the sea.
Superstition changes the eagle of the hu-
man intellect into bat of darkness.
Is it worth while to quarrel about original
sin when we have so much copy}
| To exchange superstition for a fact, a
mistake for truth, this is to progress,
| True religion is the subordinate of the
passions to the PERCEPTION Of the intellect.
Man must give liberty to others if he would
be free himself A master is also slave; a
tyrart is also serf.
Every form of slavery is viper that sooner
or later will strike its poisonous fangs into the
bosom of men.
Without liberty there can be no worship.

he cannot love, he cannot adore.
The constitution of the United States was
the first decree entered In the high court of
a nation forever divorcing the church and
State
Printing gave pinions to thought and made
it possible for man to bequeath to the future
the riches of his brain, the wealth of his soul.
To promise initiate rewards for finite viz
tues and threaten eternal punishment for
finite offenses is to subvert every idea Of
justice in the heart Of man.
Superstition, like vast cowl, has covered
the brain of the world. Industry was
slave, theft was commerce, credulity was
virtue and investigation was impudence.
Education is the most radical thing in the
world, To teach the all habet is to inaugur-
ate a revolution. To build a school house is
to construct fort. A library is an arsenal.
Progress is born Of courage. Fear believes,
courage investigates Fear falls upon its
knees and prays, courage stands erect and
thinks. Fear retreats, courage advances.
Words are the garments of thought, the
robes Of emotion. Some words are rs rude |
as the skins of wild beasts. Words from the |
ages dead are like mummies, wrapped IN the |
linen OF a thousand meanings.
The idea Of mortality that, like the sea has |!
ehbed and flowed in the heart, with its count |
less waves of hope beating against the shores |
and rocks of time and fate, is not based upon
any book or miracle or creed. 1t was born of .
human affection, and it will continue to ebb |
and flow beneath the mists and clouds OF |
doubt and darkness as long as love kisses the
lips Of death. 1t is the rain-bo of hope shining
on the tears Of grief
The laugh of child will make the hottest
day more sacred still Strike with hands of
fire, Q weird musician, thy harp strung with
Apollo's golden hair! Fill the vast cathedral
aisles with symphonies sweet and dim, deft
TOUGHER of the organ keys! Blow, bugler,
blow, until thy silver notes do touch and kiss
the mOonlit waves, charming the wondering
lovers on the vlneclad hills; but know, your
sweetest strains are discords all, compared
with childhoods Iaugh-the laugh that fills
the eye with light and dimples every cheek
With joy. Oh, ripping river of laughter,
hou art, the blessed boundary line between
he beast and man, and every maynard wave
# thine doth drop some fretful fend of care.
