In conclusion, Mr.. Shea up the why the
Catholic total abstinence societies should give the Anti

cooperation. He shows how the Pope has evnced his
deep interest in the work of the total abstinence societies
by abundantly enrchng them with ndulgences and by
expressions that indicate his adherence of the saloon
Mr. Shea refers to resolutions adopted at previous
ventons of the society in line with the purpose of the
AntSaloon League, and concludes with this quotation
from Archbishop Keane of Dubuque

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

a hundred and fifty years after the date
nxed for the birth of Christ by Dionysius
kxisuus The few documents which carry
carrier dates are forgeries, mostly OF the
third and later centuries. This early oral
tradition consisted of stories borrowed from
India, Persia, Africa and Scandinavia, some
of which were sifted through Greek sources
and in the writings ascrbed to Zoroaster,
which furnished large share of it. Bud
dhism came to the front as an auxiliary.
One hundred and fifty years later, few of
The less ignorant Christians commenced TO
write up their notions concerning the new
sect, which was to be the successor of pa
ganism, l.. e.; the light of Christianity is
but the reflection of the pagan world. 1t
is this which accounts for the oneness or
christianity and paganism, for Christianity
in all its parts and ramifications, is none
other than paganism in Christian attire.
During the third century there were num-
bers of Christians, who, as the mood struck
tLem, attempted to reduce these oral ira
ditions to writing, but as was then the GUS
tom with religious writers, which had come
down from the Hebrews, the writer's fur
nished neither names, dates, nor places to
their writings, and this applies to every
writing in both the Old and New Tesla
ments. Many of these writings found their
way into the repositories of Antioch, Alex
andra and Rome, the headquarters of the
three branches of the church, where they
remained until carried to Nicea to be used
in the construction of the canon of the New
oral tradition
differed in many essential respects, and so
the writings founded thereon differed ac-
cordingly, but no one could tell who were
the authors when or where written.
These writings were called Gospels
glad tidings. These, and not our canonical
gospels as we now have them, are the gos-
pels referred to by SO many writers, es-
pecially clergymen, as belonging to the
apostolic age So anxious are our clergy
men to secure evidence contemporary with
the so-called apostles, and thereby render
it historical, that they have ever been
prone to force the opinion that these early
scrap writings-gospels as they were called
are the ones which were voted into the
canon by the Council of Ncea-
That Council created our four New Tes-
lament gospels, and the rest of the New
Testament writings out of vast collection
of nameless, dateless and timeless writings
taken from the repositories aforesaid, or
Antioch, Alexandria and Rome. The col
lections which were taken from these re-
positories were extremely extensive; a few
only were voted into the canon, the others
were destroyed.

quarrels between the factions, and fix a sa-
cred code for the guidance of the Christian
world,-in short, to create a Bible for
Christianity. With alacrity this call of Con-
stantine was responded to. From every
part of Christendom the Bishops and Pres
byters, loaded down with anonymous Cos
pei writings rushed for the city of Nicea
The Council convened May 20, 1926, c. E.,
and adjourned August 20, 3S1. The larger
number of Bishops and writings came from
the East, lesser number from Africa, a
few from Europe. These delegates were
mostly monks. Only a few could read or
write. They had spent their lives, like the
later recluses, among the rocks, in the
wids and deserts half naked, feeding on
snakes, lizards, grass, and what they could
beg.
These are the men who made the Christ
ian New Testament There were, says an
able writer, but two men in that conven-
ton who possessed any ability, for their
discussions were of the most childish non
sense" These men were Constantine, the
pagan Emperor, who became its President
and Eusebius, the historian, who, his
friends say, was entirely unreliable. All
others, says writer, were lot of litter
ate creatures. AS might be expected, these
monks divided into factions, each attempt
ing 10 force its own writings and views ON
the convention. So quarrelsome did they
become that Constantine was forced, several
times. to adjourn the body to prevent a
clash of arms In the end, minority see
ing that all was lost moved an adjournment
to allow their god to settle the matter. The
motion was carried by a great majority
The adjournment followed. When the Coun-
Gil again met, few of the numerous writ
ings were found on the table; all others un-
der it. The trick was a success and by this
fraud the Christian world secured its New
testament, which thereafter, being
sprinkled with inspiration, became the
word of their mythical god.
This statement comes down to us mostly
by tradition, but there is another tradition
which says the canon is the result of ma
jority vote which was obtained by fraud.
The New Testament, when finished, was
signed by the few who could write; all
others made their tx" Two members died
during the session., and their signatures
being deemed essential the document was
put on their graves, where, the next morn
ing, it was found with the signatures of
these dead men.

lected from men who had in their time
been more or less prominent, but were then
dead. So the names of these dead men
were ascribed as the authors of many OF
the books, while to other books fictitious
names were attached. Among the most
prominent characters of the Old Testament
who were undoubted my, his, stand Abra-
ham, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua, Gideon, Moses,
Aaron, Samson, Jonah, Jehovah. Samson
was undoubtedly a sun myth, as the name
is derived from Shemish, or Shimshon, the
sun.
The Christian System.
Christianity, its writings and heroes, are
now in order.
The system of Christianity dates back TO
the Societies of Therapeuts and Essences,
who as monks, led an ascetic life among the
hills, rocks and deserts of Africa and Asia
Minor. They cultivated extreme piety and
devotion to the Hebrew god, Jehovah; all
things were held in common. Once a week,
on the Sabbath, they met for devotional ex-
ercises, when they a,e at one common
table. Extreme poverty in goods and learn
ing was their motto Service to their god
was the aim and end of life, to mete out
which filth, rags, starvation and penance
were resorted to. At the time assigned
to Christ Ga pure myth they numbered
about 1000. A little later (about 120 COM
mon era) they met, gave up their old names
ana merged into one society, which they
called Christ, an adjective meaning good
ness, which in turn meant piety and devo-
ton to the service of their god, Jehovah.
AS ignorance has always predomnated
over intelligence they rapidly increased in
numbers, when Constantine, in the fourth
century, put them in power over the Ro-
man Empire. From this time on until the
close of the Dark Ages, Christianity held
all Christendom in its terrible grasp, blot
ting out all freedom of thought, intell-
gence, justice and humanity, and substi-
tuting in their places piety. poverty, degra-
dation and crime. All dissenters were
tortured, then put to death,-the most of
them burned at the stake. During the
Dark Ages, Christianity and its priesthood
succeeded in slaughtering about one-fifth of
the human race. (For full description of
these terrible crimes, see my numerous
writings on the subject)

NAMES NEXT PRESIDENT

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF
the Convention:
Crises arise in the life of nations
which endanger their institutions
and, at times, imperil the advance of
civilization.
Every people that has left its i'm
press upon history has faced such
crises. In most instances, when
grave dangers have threatened the
safety of the state, some great char
found, produced as it were by the con-
ditions themselves, with capacity to
direct Alright the energies of the peo-
pie. This was true of the ancient
world; it has been true of the modern
world lit is true of this republic. We
have such crisis to meet today. The
favor-seeking corporations have grad
ually strengthened their hold upon
the government until they now men
ace popular institutions.
The question is, whether this gov
ernment shall be restored to the con-
troll of the people and be administer
ed in the interest of all, or whether
t shall remain an instrument il the
hands of the few for levying tribute
upon all the rest.

That the methods by which these

For many years, and especially dur
ing the last twelve years, these very
men have been il control of the re-
publican party; they have financed
every campaign of that party for
quarter of a century. These exploit
ers of the people. whom the President
