The sun turned into darkness!
Forward, march. ye great army of
infidels and atheists! And first Of all
you will attack the churches. Away
with those houses of worship. They
have been standing there so long de-
luding the people with consolation IN
their bereavements and sorrows. All
those churches ought to be extirpated,
they have done so much to relieve the
lost and bring home the wandering,
and they have SO long held up the idea
OF eternal rest after the paroxysm Of
this life is over. Turn the st. Peters
and st. Pauls and the temples and tab
ernacles into clubhouses. Away with
those chuches!
Forward, march, We great army OF In
fidels and atheists, and next of all thcy
scatter the Sabbath schools filled with
bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked little ones
who are singing songs on Sunday after
noon and getting instruction when
they ought to be on the street corners
playing marbles or swearing on the
commons. Away with them! Forward
march, We great army of infidels and
atheists, and next of all they win at

words ''delusion" and ''sham,' and
where you find an angel in marble
strike off the wings, and when you
come to family vault chisel on the
door: Dead once. dead forever
But on, We great army Of infidels and
atheists, on! They viii attempt to
scale Heaven There are heights to be
taken. Pile hill on hill and Peiion upon
Ossa, and then they hoist the ladders
against the walls of Heaven. On and on
until they blow up the foundations ok
jasper and the gates Of pearl. They
charge up the steep. Now they aim for
the throne of Him who liveth forever
and ever. They would take down from
their high place the Father, the Son. tho
Holy Ghost. "Down with them! |" they
say, Down with them from the
throne!" they say. "Down foreverl
Down out of sight! He is not God. Ho
has no right to sit there. Down with
Him! Down with Christi"
