TAKES ISSUE WITH THE PHIL
ISTINE.

Dear Sir:
In your last issue you published an
article in your editorial columns from
the Philistine entitled, Canned Phil
osophy," and inasmuch as its trend is
against the foundation principles OF
government and society, | would very
much desire to impose on your space
with a few words of comment
The article is not correct in the light
OF known facts. 1t betrays base
philosophy and is a strong appeal to
anarchy and the mob, betraying the
very principles of the government
which protect the writer. Let such
philosophy become general and lib
crty wuld be destroyed
He says, Formalized religions
are well calculated to stampede
reason and make towards of us all"
God forbid!' True religion makes
men free. Give us til" names of life's
chosen heroes, the uplifters OF the
human race, the men who have led
out in the struggle for liberty, the
prophets and directors. Were they
religious, Godfearing men who be-
lieved in divine providence? Look
up i'll history the worlds artists, its
philosophers, its scientists, its poets
and its statesmen, and you will find
that an overwhelming majority of
them were religious men,--men who
have tutored the race and led human
ity on the star-eyed way.
Let It's take two men representing
the two great Christian nations of
the world,-Abraham Lincoln and
William Ewart Gladstone. We might
take thousand names that are bur-
nished with glory like these, but the
two will suffice. Were they fanatics
and towards? Were they slaves?
Are there any two names in the ranks
of infdelity that will compare with
these? They were religious; they be-
lieved in God as they believed in
themselves. They were praying men,
trying to build up the hope of the
world,-the beautiful idealism of an
earthly millennium; tender of heart
noble of soul, and as brilliant men as
have inhabited the earth. These two
men did more for liberty, for human
advancement along sane lines than
any dozen infdels who have lived
Were they slaves? Verify not. They
were mountain peaks of freedom and
liberty, calling the race on and on to
a better day.
The writer further says, And now
behold theology as sawdust break
fast food, made palatable to the un-
thinking" Were not these men num-
bered among the worlds greatest
thinkers? Were they not among the
greatest of reasoners; very learned
