revelations of truths which date back

revelations of truths which date back
to the Infinite.
To worship personal Deity is idol
airy. Such worship originated in
mans undeveloped nature and is the
outgrowth OF benighted mind. In
fidelity, its nilsson IS to elevate the
standard of civilization and morality
in place of blind faith which enslayes
and dwarfs the mind.
Teach the child truth and nothing
but the truth from the very inception
of reason until he passes out of the
reception stage of education or child
hood, and he will eschew evil and con-
tinue 10 learn and practice that which
is Just and good.
Ignorance, vice and crime are twin
sisters. A personal God and personal
Devil are twin brothers.
Hatred and revenge are relics of
barbarism. He that hates another
kindIes fire in his own soul.
Good deeds are the wise mans capt.
tai stock in trade.
A rebelious child is the counterpart
of his parents.
lie that sees Il human being in need
and passes by without giving relief,
if it is in his power to do so, has no
soul. lie that has wronged Il brother
and neglects to make full restitution
carries with him weight OF moral
death.
lie that purilies the fountains of lis
life by good and noble deeds shall lie
down in peace and men shall call him
blessed while he that seeks purilica-
ton by the death of another shall
wear Il culprit's crown and garments
stained with blood.
Any one who will voluntarily re-
ceive absolution from the legitimate
| consequences of his sins or misdeeds
| through the death of another should
wear u bull dogs skin so that blood
will tell.
lie that frequently repents to God
for sins committed against another
secures to himself hardness of heart
and habits that tend to Il perfect ve-
nality.
He that instead of repentance
makes full restitution for wrongs COM
mitted against another shall secure
peace of mind on earth and the good
will of men,"
