BRADY's BLAST.
His Attack Upon the Dead
Ingersoll Leads to Hot
Rejoinders.
Editor of The Spy:

Editor Of The Spy:
| Sir-To answer fool according to
the folly. may not be an easy task.
even for such as are possessed of more
than ordinary WISDOM perhaps the
mouthings of a garrulous fool is his
own best answer, and of this his audi
ence is apt to be the best judge.
| Some fools are prone to gable most
about matters of which they know the
least, or perhaps nothing, and of such
| is the fool who has the effrontery to
assume that he is serving God by stand
| ing in the pulpit to condemn a man who
| is honest enough to admit that he
| knows nothing of unknoWable things:
for this, and this only, is the head and
| front of Robert G. IngersolPs offending
mo more: but the recent jabberings
| of certain fatuous D. DIS on the subject
| OF Tools and blasphemers, raises ques-
| tons which each of these D. DIS should
| be able to answer, viz.
J.. What do you personally know Of
! God, heaven, hell and devil?
2. From whence did you derive such
| knowledge?
3. Why should you anathematize any
one for failing to accept dogma?
| 4. Is your life blameess one?
B. DO you thank God that you are
better than other men?
8. What does your family and neigh
bors think of you?
Z. Have you raised the question. are
there any bigger fools than myself?
In conclusion, can any one imagine
the real quality of so-called d, d. who
can indulge in a Wild West show of
ignorance, superstition, fanaticism and
lies, and then claims to possess the
finer feelings?' But those who are
aware that they, too, are soon to rem
der an account to the judge of the quick
and dead, should beware of giving false
testimony, and
Judge not, frail fool lest Judgment may
Fail heavy on thy sinful way
e C. Townsend.
Editor of The Spy: Sir-In reading
Mondays Spy / noticed your report of
DR.. Brady's sermon on II. G. Ingersoll.
In which he makes fearful attempt at
Staying dead man. 1t is an old saving
that 1T is easy to kick dead dog"
III you will please allow me a little
space ! would like to point out some
OF DR.. Bradys mistakes. He says that
"Ingersoll has found out by this time
that there is q God" That statement Ia
either true or false. 1t cannot be true.

not anything" Eccl. iN:5 This testi- |
