MI. Ingersoll,i in stepping to the footlights
explained hat he had been advertised to
lecture upon
GREAT
but if it were agreeable to the audience he
would deliver two lectures, that is, he
would deliver his lecture upon
Talmagian Theology and the bet
ter part of his lecture upon
Great Inidels. He began by saying that
he had lived to see the orthodox church fall
so that it was no longer taken as authori-
tative. He spoke at length upon the the
ology of the past century. He spoke
somewhat disrespectfully of the pastors.
They say their work is
holy. The honest work of any man
whereby he earns the food for his family
is holy. These men say they are lights.
They are lamps in the hands of God. They
say to me how can you be wicked enough
to take from the world
THE soLAcE OF ORTHODOX RELIGIONS?
Why do these people cling to the
olace of hill? We want some
thing instead. You tear down but do
not build. IF the Christian religion be
true the best men, the best women, the
greatest men, the greatest women, are now
suffering
THE TORTUREs OF HE'LL,
and that is what they call tidings of great
JOY" That is the consequences of Christi
anity. Think of the ingenuity of

was that church then. Voltaire suffered
the durance of bastiles. He did away with
a bastile and a monument was erected to
his memory in consequence, and yet if
this orthodox religion be true he
is now suffering the pangs of the damned.
Paine i more than any other man for
the freedom of the United States. He did
not say during his life one word in favor
OF slavery, one word for a wrong. Yet, if
this religion is true he is now suffering in
hell. That is what they call solace. And
people build churches that this doctrine
may be preached, aud hire preachers to
tell every one
HOW They MUST SUFFER.
Humboldt, the Shakespeare of science, a
man who shed light which illuminated the
civilized world; that man having lived al
most a pure life, the most learned man
in the nation, mourned by every intelligent
man when he died. He is there with the
rest. They tell US that on the day of judg-
ment not a question relative to science will
be asked you. You need not know a thing
about astronomy; not a thing about
geology; not a thing about philosophy,
chemistry-no matter if you are wrong on
the Bible you are gone. The Bible is the
only thing God made of which he is proud.
If you don't believe the Jonah story, if
you have a doubt about the bears tearing
the little children to pieces, you are a
'goner." If this religion be true Betho-
ven, whose heart was full of music,
who has given happiness to millions
and millions of people, and in my opinion
they nave no better music in heaven. He
is down there with the rest of them.

we have had many great people who are
there too. Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose
mind like a placid lake reflected the bril-
liancy of the stars, is there too. So with
our Longfellow. You may place his re-
mains where you please aad pay them all
the reverence possible, but he is down
there. This is a solace. Robert Burns.
the bright star of old Scotland, is there.
SO WITH DARWIN,
who shed more light upon this world thar

men are in hell. Charles Dickens who
