In the Drinking Days.

A once we'll known individual who
had lived every day Of bis life and
gained from 1t Il great experience left
the following udvice-and little else
to his SONS: Drink slow: do not mix
your liquor: never sit with your backs
to the fire" 1t was an excellent pre-
cept for the era In which 1t was given
the times when the dining room door
was kept locked that there might be
no Sinking the claret and when the
only chance at the circuit mess OF es-
Gaping intoxication was to drop under
the table like the rest" as Lord Cock
burn tells US he did. and lie quiet :
nay. even when tpr Judges resented
that discredit shOIl1 be brought on
drinking by misconduct. Every body
drank. and much too much. In those
days. but especially the upper classes.

Character Has Greater Influence than the
Mere Thoughts Advanced.
(By Manly A. Brigham.)


Early in my investigation of the religious
problems it became apparent that argument
logic, and all the facts concerning
the impossibty of the theological doctrines
were of small erect when placed before the
average man with tainted environments.
The disappointments that came to me in my
efforts. both in private and public, to dispel
the fog of religion from the minds of its vic.
Tins were so bitter at times that l narrowly
escaped becoming the counterpart Of re-
ligious fanatic in demonstration of "infdel''
fanaticism 1t is a fact that many of our
freethought advocates have been caught in
this trap and swing far to the cranky side
as a ank can turn, and thereby lose their
influence and cast ridicule upon their
and themselves We need to teach the youth
of the freethought school that of the first
requisites of a nationalist is to bear him
self that his fellows will respect him for his
worth Then he can quietly SOW seeds amons
his friends, and leave them to develop With
many the character of the man woman who
advances an idea has more influence than the
thought itself 1t is worse than useless for a
rational thinker to attempt to spread his views
unless ne is moral ard of good character.
If a belief in ra ionalism does not improve
man morally then we have an uphill road to
travel in the propagation of ideas.
At The present time the churches depend
far more upon music than preaching for the
small congregations they get. 1t is true, and
the ministers know it, that fully half the per-
sons who go to church do solely for the
music They sit through the sermon and are
unconscious of anything that has been said.
In the village churches the choir Is the main
stay and is generally made up OF men ana
women who have no Knowledge of religion
whatever, and perform the service because

they enjoy the singing, the publicity or the
social gatherings. AS rule they get no pay.
In addition to this there are thousands of
women that engage in church work for no
other reason than that II affords an outlet
for their social energies. There are very few
women who know anything about religion
and those am glad to say, are generally in
the freethought ranks. The church also is
a sort of matrimonial bureau, and is utilized
by the youth of both for a meeting
place. They care nothing for, and are not in
a frame of mind to learn anything of religion
These things constitute the support of the
church which In it's turn supports all the
senseless creeds and immoral religious stories
and also all the current wrongs perpetuated
by government and society
The obvious thing then is for the rational.
lists to become great in way by imitation.
That is wherever it is possible to establish
medium through which the singing propensi-
ties and social qualities of the women
find expression to do In the societies
already established for the propagation of
f"eethought these matters should receive more
attention. Build up along social lines The
creedal structures are ready to fall when the
social and musical support is withdrawn. The
minister and his religious prattle is Of sec
ondary importance. He Is nevertheless OF
considerable influence in his community OUT
side the pulpit
As a rule ministers are fairly moral men
and the fact of the church being an institu-
ton of long standing gives him a certain
power that makes nationalist. unbacked by
any social organization at disadvantage in
an open fight with them. We have practi-
cally beaten the clerics in the forum, and
rendered their pulpit influence harmless and
1t is to beat them in the social and civic
life. When that is accomplished the end or
.re1p Ui1 ba nd no
ton of morals and reason have taken place.
