A NEW SERIAL
The Fighting Chance by Robert
w. Chambers.

The HERALD this week commences a
new serial, "The Fighting Chance" and
We say with great confidence that it
will be enjoyed wherever read. While
the love romance is a great feature, the
keen satire of the author in portraying
New York's Four Hundred will be great
ly appreciated by the eighty millions
outside of the charmed circle who find
life s.ilI worth living. Of course there
ARE other things that grip the readers
interest, characters who excite admira-
ton or disgust, sympathy or amusement.
1t is great serial, and was the most
talked of novel and the hest SELLER of
the year. Don't miss the opening chap
ter this week.

stars" the "songs of birds" and the
beauty Of a setting sun. Vain fool |
Those very twinkling stars and the
feathered songsters of the meadows
and valleys, that very sun and the
perfumed air of spring; the song of
the mocking bird thrilling to it's mate
from a tree-top; the drowsy, drunken
hum Of the honey-bee; the growing
corn, in fact the whole of Nature de-
MES the audacious claims of Christian
ity, displaces God, wipes out angel
hosts, and brands the fable Of res
directed man-diety as monstrous fic-
ton to mislead fools. Compared with
Christianity the doctrine of Infidelity
is as bright oasis in some dreary,
barren desert. There is no sentiment,
there are no flowers in nursing de-
fusion and hugging it to your breast.
There is no despair, nothing cold in
sleep, and what matters it whether we
sleep for night or forever. Once
asleep we miss nothing, know nothing,
lose nothing if we never wake again.
Superstition creates imbecility and dis
ease, then builds some place of charity
for it's alienation and declares with
pride that it is ministering angel.
Remove the conditions and the char
ity would not need Kill Christian
ity, by any intelligent means posi-
BILE, and the gloom that now hangs
over human life will speedily disap-
pear.
Again, reference is made to the Sin
situations of learning" that are sup
posed to have been erected through
Christian belief. This is erroneous.
When in the full zenith Of it's political
power the Christian church would not
tolerate a school, college or uni
versity. 1t destroyed all with which
it came in contact. 1t burned the
Alexandrian library and put the schOl-
ars of the world to rOut. Every for
ward movement in education all over
the world has been made in spite of
Christianity and not because OF it.
Education is secular 1t is decidedly
irreligious. 1t knows no religion or
religious sentiment. The sacrament Is
not to be found in the multiplication
table, nor does the Lords prayer find
strength from study OF natural law,
in cause and effect. Only in the last
few years has the church displayed
any consideration for education, and
at that the education stood for, advO-
