JOHN ]. INGALLS, LATEST ROAST.

I knock on this Jesus business, and
knock hard.
1 belong to no church and subscribe
to no creed, but 1 believe in God and
immortality, and that we shall reap
what we sow, here and hereafter.
l recognize religion as prodigious
force in human affairs, and Christian
1ty as one of the most impressive
manifestations. While other reli-
gions are older and have endured
longer, and have more followers, none
has exerted such immense influence
upon government, society and civili-
Zation.
Its sanctions rest entirely upon the
example and teachings of Jesus, for
whom theologians claim much more
than He ever claimed for Himself.
He was poor. He had no education.
His life to the age of thirty, was
passed in manual labor. His associ-
ates, male and female, were ignorant
and obscure
His public career was less than
three years. He wrote nothing. He
wandered about, in the fields, among
the mountains and by the sea, talking
familiar to his companions, to chance
acquaintances. and at picnicS and
camp meetings
His recorded acts and words would
nS5 fill five newspaper columns, and
were not collected till many years
after his death.
Whatever opinion may be held to
His divinity, He is one of the colossal
figures of history. PLATE and Herod
and Caesar, the kings ana heroes and
philosophers at that time are moth
ing. No one cares that thev lived or
died, but millions now would die
rather than surrender their faith in
Jesus.
What Jesus would do were He in
Kansas today can best be determined
by considering what He did when He
was in Nazareth and Caperneum
nineteen hundred years ago.
He attended strictly to his own bus
mess He did not meddle in other
peoples affairs. He only sought to
establish IL spiritual kingdom. and
His empire was in the hearts of men.
He told his followers to render unto
Caesar the things that were Caesars s.
He neither bought nor sold, nor inter
fered in politics. He said that all
men were brothers; that God was
their father, aud that they should do
as they would be done by.
The ecclesiastical mountebankS
who are directly responsible for the
blasphemous buffoonery of asking how
Jesus would shave if He were a bar
ber; what He would do if He had
headache; how He would run daily
newspaper; how He would act if He
were in General Buffers place in
South Africa, and inf1icting irrepara-
BILE injury upon the cause of religion.
They make joke of the passion in the
Garden of Gethsemane, and cast con-
tempt upon the agony of Cavalry. 1t
would be no greater sacrilege to ask
what God would do. It's desecrating
the greatest name in the worlds reg
istratlon. 1t is trifiing with the
most awful mystery of the universe.

Five masked bandits tagged the

ed the express car, where they covered
j. L. HickcoX, the messenger, with guns
and forced him to unlock the safe and
turn over the contents.
In the meantime Il fifth of the band
had uncoupled the engine and the car
from the rest of the train and joined his
companions in the engine cab. The en-
gineer was compelled to proceed forward
a mile, where stop again was made.
