BLUE GRASS BLADE

''The really educated man knows that the
bible is truer book than ever 1t was and
more valuable. All the men who read books
and all the men who write books are ON
our SIDE"
Dr. Aked, the imported Rockefeller
preacher who holds forth at the Rookie
Teller church in New York, is accredited
with having thusly spoken. 1t does not SIT
we'll on a thinking mind. If Dr. Aked can
believe and relish his own statement, he is
not the man soLie people would have u"
believe he is. If the bible is true at all
il cannot be 'truer' now than when it wa
first written. Truth is truth and it is truth
for all time. What may be but seemingly
true may be shown to be error, for appear
ances are frequently deceptive. Granting
that the Dible has only seemed to be true
in the past it night be believed by some
to be true now, but the majority know that
it is not truth. Neither is DR.. Aked's state
ment true. AS a matter of historic fact
OF known fact the bible was more strongly
believed in years ago than it is today. For
the bible to become a "truer" book implies
that it was once talse and while growing
more true, may yet become even truer
sill.
And who, but DR.. Aked, would, in this
enlightened age, insist that all the men
who read and write books are on "our
side? Is it possible that DR.. Aked and
his clan believe themselves to be in class
by themselves, or does he fancy himself
so especially favored of god, even above
his fellows, that god and Aked constitute
one side as against the side the people are
on? Paine wrote a book the characters
OF which still echo down the ages Is Paine
on Akeds side. Ingersoll wrote and read
books. Is Ingersoll on Aked's side? Hulk
ley, Darwin, Owen, Spencer, Lubbock,
Tyndal, the master minds of Europe and
America, have all read books and written
them, but not even Aked or Aked's god
will dare assert that any of these were on
their side. Many of the Blade subscribers
read and some have written books, but we
venture the assertion that all of them
would disclaim both Aked and Akeds god.
One OF the most potent of all the physical
facts is that reading men, and writing men,
IL their reading and writing be of the most
useful variety, are against Aked and his
sod and willing to stand up and be counted
on the other side.
The solid truth is that Aked is just blow
ing himself and has literally disobeyed the

In our last issue we made comment upon
the trial of Rev. +. h. Maddox, of Texarka-
ma, upon charge of heresy, and in brief
fOotnOte, stated that he had been found
guilty, and had been put out of the Presby-
terrain church by reason thereof. But not
the half has yet been told. The trial is
bound to result in a decided benefit to the
cause of FreethOught, and we here give
report of the proceedings published in the
Fort Smith (Ark.) Times. 1t says:-
Rev. f. e. Maddox, the Presbyterian
clergyman who was suspended by the
Ouachita presbytery at Texarkana for
preaching doctrine not in accordance with
the rules of his church, conducted his own
defense and is said to have made decided
impression in his closing speech. He fairly
shocked the Presbytery by paying glow
ing tribute to the late Robert G.. Ingersoll
as a great and good man who had put theo-
lOgians to thinking, and who would be bet
ter appreciated fifty years hence. His ad-
dress is said to have been wildly applauded
while those prosecuting him were fire.
quently Kissed by the crowd which packed
the church,
The above is rich in eloQuence. 1t is a
confession that the work accomplished by
the beloved Ingersoll has had and is still
having its effect. Powerful in life, he is yet
powerful in death, for his burning wis
dom still stands as giant pyramids COM
pared with the drifting sands of human
speech That the discredited minister
made such an able defense for himself is
not to be wondered at when we consider
the influences that guided and inspired
him. That the audience wildly applauded
him. is an indication that it was not in
harmony with the church, for does not the
report also state that the churchmen were
Missed" as they conducted the prosecution?
Here is world of argument. 1t is stronger
1t is a barometer in which the popular will
may be more accurately measured. Argu-
ments of Freethinkers are frequently term
ed mere assertions and these may go I'M
needed, but the most rabid Christian wor.
shipper cannot get away from the facts as
they are here presented. Better still, they
are furnished by the church itself. Heresy
applauded Old fogeyism Kissed. Whittier
Is the church drifting, and what can be said
about the rock" upon which it is said to
have been built? Rev. Maddox is adjudged
hereto. His entire congregation, with
but one exception, is heart and mind with
him. These too then must also be heretics.
Maddox may return to Texarkana and con-
tinue to preach his own notions concerning
Christianity and his congregation will go
with him. On the other hand, he might do
better by renouncing the entire scheme, be-
coming free lance, preach the gospel Of
humanity, and take up the work of Ingersoll
striving honestly and fearlessly to bring
about that appreciation in less time than
fifty years" not of Ingersoll alone, but
himself.

himself free man. His letter of resigna-
ton and his statement to the press, upon
his reasons for SO doing, must attract the
attention of the thinking people in his
parish, and Rome must ultimately find itself
with weakened support as one OF the direct
results of this act The resignation OF
Father Mulvey puts it up to the Pope as

Wednesday, 1st January, 1908.

Pressure on our space this morning limits
ss TO little more than to wish the readers of
the Avis AHAPPK NEW YEAR.
The Old Year goes out with favourable
weather for our Sugar Industry, and we can
now have much better hope of the coming
crop than we had a month ugo. 1t will still
be small and it will be late, but it will not
be the stnext to no CROP, which was the
earlier estimate. The wet weather is pre-
sumably in the long run favourable for our
cotton industry also, although the growers
would now be glad to see some of the bright,
sunny days SO needful for gathering in the
crop.
There were recently two meetings Of
Cotton growers and others Interested,
where the .Leaf hl~ister-mite" question was
dealt with. Although BUR editor includes
himself among the persons interested, he was
unfortunately compelled to be Absent from
the meetings. WE hope, however, shortly
TO be able to give some account OF them.
Success in 1908 to our new friend, the
Cotton. and Success to our old friend, the
Camel May both flourish!
