BE CONSISTENT.

AS an interested member of the
Chautauqua Circle, I wish to ex-
press my views through The MIR
RoR in regard to tie various con-
tentions brought out last Sunday
in regard to the nominating speech
made in regard to the secretaryship
at the previous meeting. The OBJ
jections made to that speech con-
sisted Of verbose platitudes that
we're far from the point at issue.
Let us view the facts in an i'm
partial and unimpassioned manner
and see if this speech has not been
grossly overestimated. Yes, let
us be consistent and not cry stop
thief when there is no thief. The
speech in question may not have
been delivered in choice Bostonese
language; but did it really contain
one single sentence that reflected
on any ones character? I believe
not. The speaker did, however,
sound warning and drew vivid
picture as to what the circle might
drift aimlessly into if incompetent
officers were elected. He also
stated that one of the candidates
running for the secretaryship was
incompetent to fill the position.
If he knew such was really the
case he had a perfect right to make
known that knowledge to the
circle. To demand an apology for
that statement, is mere childish
prattle. Those who are so vocif-
erous in demanding redress should
pause in their impetuous talk and

The Pierian Circle held the first
meeting of the current year on
Sunday, October 9TH. Good
papers and good music we're the
order of the day. The trusts, the
Greeks, the tickle goddess of fame,
and the philosophy of proverbs
each received attention from the
members.

Senator Clark by a vote of "a to 3.
The question to come before the
next session is an invitation to
the Republic of Switzerland to

THE SCIENTIFIC GOD.

Written for THE Prison Mirror.
There are gods of all descrip-
ton. Each nation seems to have
created a god after it's own attri-
butes and then it cries aloud from
the house tops that it is the only
genuine god, and all others are
base limitations, and bunko stear-
ers.
But the two gods I wish to CON-
pare together, is actually one God
viewed from two different stand
points. I refer to the theological
god, and the scientifcal god.
Theology says that it's god created
the earth in six days and rested on
the seventh.
Science has proved with cold,
hard facts that the earth was many
millions Of years assuming it's
present formation. The god of
Theology performed slight of hand
tricks before Pharaoh to convince
him that he was the real thing.
The god of science has followed
certain undertaking laws from the
night of the remotest ages, never
varying a hairs breadth, if we are
to judge of his works. The god
of Theology, if We are to put faith
in the Hebrew myths and tradi-
tions, may be classed as follows:
A god who is cruel, sensual, jeal-
GUS, unreasoning, capricious.
The god of science is just the
reverse Of the above. Let it be
understood at the beginning that
we are not disparaging Christian
ity. We believe that the very
foundation of our civilization rests
on the philosophy Of the Nazarine,
the great philosopher. It is not
Christianity we wish to disparage;
it is myths and fairy tales.
Do we believe that Lots wife
was turned to pillar of salt? We
do not, because it is a scientific
Do we believe that
doing onto others as you would
have them do onto you, will bring
happiness? We do, because it is
an absolute truth. Do we believe
that the human race descended
from two persons, namely, Adam
and Eve? We do not, because it
is scientific impossibility. Do
we believe that blessed are the
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1900-10-11

pure in heart? We do, because it
is an absolute scientifcal truth.
Do we believe there is Higher
Intelligence, a Supreme Being?
We do, because the laws and phe-
nomena of nature are too orderly
and intelligent to be the work of
chance.
We have merely to look about
us to see the wonderful energies
of vast creative mind. We be-
lieve that prayer will be answered
If accompanied by effort. The
prayer we mean is not getting on
ones knees and talking to God.
But actions, "act in the living
present.
We will illustrate. You pillow
the field and SOW the wheat, God
will give the crop. You plant the
seed, God will produce the flower.
If you desire ventilation, open the
window, God will do the rest.
But if you do not open the win
dow, and there is no other means
of ventilation, you may pray until
you are hoarse but you will get no
fresh air.
If you swallow carbolic acid
installing it for water, praying
will do no good. If prompt med
ical attendance is not forthcoming
death will result as sure as the
sun will rise tomorrow, and all the
prayers in Christiandom could
not stop the inevitable result.
Why? Because this is Gods law
and he never swerves from his
purpose. HE is the same yester-
day, today, and forever" The
quicker all people come to realize
that conforming to Gods law is
the only true road to happiness,
and that those who attempt to
defy them will find those laws
most terrible engine of destruction,
the quicker this is realized the
quicker will the human race reach
perfection.
But SO long as myths, supersti-
ton, fairy tales, and hoary old
fables are allowed to dominate lust
SO long will the human race re-
main in a position Of subjection
to Nature, instead of being master.
