ANOTHER MONUMENT.
LEWIS KNAPP HAS A SIXTH ONE
IN CONTEMPLATION.
HE HAS SENT THE ORDER
A Lot of New Matter to Be Put On IT.
The Text of the Inscription Given
in Fu11.-L1ke All The
others.

BROAD Guage Lewis Knapp" has
placed an order with a firm of monu-
ment builders in Hartford, Conn, for
another monument, TO be erected when
completed near all the others in the
city cemetery The order was sent
Monday, June 10, for one similar in
design and construction to the last one
erected by him on the lot south of the
one containing the four, to his brother,
his wife, himself and William Bruce.
The new one is to commemorate a sup
posed visit of Daniel and Mrs. Knapp
to the terrestrial sphere from the spirit
ual realm and will tell, iii a long wind
ed diatribe, what these visitors are
supposed to say to mortals who are so
unfortunate as to believe in other
creeds than earthly spiritualism. y
The matter to go on this new monu-
ment is just as curious as that on the
rest. The style in which it is written
is peculiarly that of Lewis Knapp, and,
as we understand, it is not copy
righted.
Understanding from Mr.. Knapp that
he intended putting up a new monu-
meDt, the NEWS man requested him to
show the written matter he contem-
plated using. This Mr.. Knapp con-
sented to do, and here it is, reproduced
for the delecIation of our numerous
readers:
Daniel Knapp and his good wife
Lucinda, hereby send this information
to their friends, also to their enemies.
Although called dead, still they are
not Instead thereof they are con-
sciously living in a lovely home in the
stellar spiritual universe where all hui
mainly not already here have got to
come, live and grow wiser in an end
less eternity. AS we expected, here
we've found for all the evils we have
done no God priest, papa pope or
purely virgin begotten one in three and
three in one can our sins forgive
Neither can we escape when there we
meet those we wronged while on earth
we lived-from having our souls
wreathe in anguish, love and singing
shame and deep regrets. Escape we
can't, and you too will find when here
you get. The judges consist of our
selves and those we wronged. This
was earthly spiritualism's teachings,
and here we've found it truth indeed.
In religious paper Of Oct. 8, 1894,
titled Church Union, it proclaims zone
purely virgin begotten Jesus man had
fully settled with an imaginary God all
legal claims against the human family
for all the evils they have DONE" This
is the doctrinal tenet on which the
Christian church has been built, which
surely none but backwoods mission
aries ever believed, and they wouldn't
only for the money there is in the bust
ness. The Christians Holy Bible
reads to us, if we believe we shall be
saved, and if we believe not we shall
be eternally damned" surely too sim
pie a tale to even deserve contempt by
imps or idiots. And all this priestly
scarecrow business is based on the
Mosaic humbug relation of sudden
six days creation, except God himself,
of all that is, including Adam and Eve,
who committed the original, unpardon-
able sin by DEVILS enticement to eat
fruit from the tree of knowledge, and
thereby becoming intelligent, which
God had forbidden them to do, because
he did not wish them to be intelligent.
This proves that God created devil
who outwitted himself, by coaxing
Adam and Eve to become intelligent.
AS Moses wrote, by Gods inspiration,
that God created all that is in six days.
If so, nothing but God existed, before
God created it. If this is truth, neither
time, or space, or force, or senseless
matter for force to act upon existed
until God created them. Where did
God reside before he created time or
space to live in?, is problem No. l.
AS God created the heavens and the
earth before he created senseless mat
ter, where did he get the matter to
create this globe ?, is another problem.
AS it requires the shadow of the earth
to make nights darkness, which is
only made by the shining rays of the
sun on the opposite side of the earth,
how could there have been three days
and three nights before the sun was
created to cause shadow of the earth
to be made to make night? The Bible
reads that the sun was created on the
fourth day. This is another problem.
Another problem is: AS the Bible
declares there had been only three
children born before Game took wife
in foreign country, where did those
foreign country people originate?
The Bible relates that Joshua stopped
the sun for nearly day in its travels.
This is another problem to put in your
pipe and smoke.
