Philosophy of Nihilism.


The principles of this philosophy of mega.
ton may be gathered from the following ex-
tracts: This gospel admits of no half meas
ures and hesitations. The old world must
be destroyed and replaced by new one.
The lie must be stamped out and give
way to truth. 1t Is our mission to de-
stroy the lie, and to effect this we
must begin at the very commence
ment Now, the beginning of all those lies
which have ground down this poor world in
slavery is God. Tear out of your hearts the
belief in the existence of God, for so long as
an atom of that silly superstition remains in
your minds you will never know what free
dom is. When you have got rid of the
belief in this priest-begotten God, and when.
moreover, you are convinced that your
existence and that of the surrounding world
is due to the conglomeration of atoms in
accordance with the laws of gravity and at
traction, then and then only you will have
accom- plished the firststep toward liberty, and
you will experience less difficulty in Kidding
your minds of that second liewhich tyranny
has invented. The first lie is God. the
second lie is right. Might invented the
fiction of right in order to insure and
strengthen her reign. Might, my friends,
forms the sole groundwork of society.
Might makes and unmakes laws, and that
should be in the hands of the maiorityf
~
your own might, you will be able to
destroy this mere notion of right.
And when you have freed your
minds from the fear o God and
from that childish respect tor the fiction of
right then all the remaining chains which
bind you and which are called science, civ
ilization, property, marriage, morality and
jusdce, will snap asunder like threads. Let
your own happiness be your own law
Il.,f 10 lax nod
and to bring about the proper relations
which should exist between the ma
jority and minority of mankind must
destroy every thing which exists in the
shape of State or social organizations. Our
first work must be destruction and annihi-
lation of everything as it now exists. You
must accustom yourselves to destroy every
good with the bad. For, if an
atom of this old world remains, the new will
never be created. Take heed that no ark be
allowed to rescue any atom of this old
world which we consecrate TO destruction

Talk Over What You Read.


Nearly four years experience as teacher
has shown me how little truly know of a
subject until begin To explain it or teach
it. Let any young person try the expert
ment of giving in conversation briefly and
connectedly, and in the simplest Ian
guage, the chief points of any
book or article he had read, and he
will at once see what ] mean. The gaps
that are likely to appear in the knowledge
that he felt was his own will no doubt be
surprising. j know of no training superior
to this in utilizing ones reading, in strength
ening the memory and in forming habits of
clear, connected statement. IL will doubt
less teach other things than those / have
mentioned, which the persons who hon.
estly make the experiment will find
out for themselves. Children who read
can be encouraged to give, in a familiar
way, the interesting parts of the books they
have read. with great advantage to all con-
cerned. More than one youth know has
laid the foundation of intellectual tastes in

enlargement was given TO children and
adults in their attempts TO sketch the
lectures they have heard the evening

to give the children of Israel no more

one of the Church Deacons who had been
circulating unpleasant rumors about him
He said: "Pharaoh's mean, ignoble and IN
principled conduct can only be equalled by
a Deacon of the Church in circulating
rumors and reports hurtful to the pastors
reputation and influence, which reports are
unqualifiedly false" Then he told fable
about a wolf and a goat who were
fighting, when suddenly the air
became filled with buzzards. "Breth-
rem" said the preacher with great
earnestness, 'the buZzards are in the air,
over This Church The congregation were
divided in opinion as TO whom the alleged
buzzards ought TO go for first, whether the
deacon or the pastor. The pastor continued:
Brethren, only straw should be given this
deacon. and until grass rises, then, like Ne

was not calculated to be spiritually edifying,
especially TO the deacon's adherents IL is
not astonishing that at the business meeting
of the Church, held few nights later, the
members were out in full force. Therewas
revival-not of religion, but of pugnacity.
One member said something about the bray

another remarked: IF this thing goes ON
