beautiful grayeyards in Germany.
The city has purchased about 800
acres of romantic forest land about

Persistence of Superstition

To the ordinary mind this would seem
to be impossible in the bright morning OF
the twentieth century, but when we recall
the historic fact that the priests of super.
stition have controlled the whole human
family for thousands of years we need not
be asonished, because heredity tradition
and vested interests stand like stone wall
across the path of progress; nothing is
valued SO highly by ignorant men and
women as their observation-disclosures and
lands and bank-stock are Insignificant pos
sessions when compared to their insane de-
lusions, and in the sad and bloody history
Of the human family every good man and
every good woman who have tried to de-
stroy the poisonous superstitions of ne.
cromacy, sorcery, witch-craft ghosts devils,
divine revelations land crucifed gods have
been ostracised and prosecuted, and tens
of millions have been cruelty and fendishly
put to death.
Not many generations ago a superstition
universally prevailed that king was a God
and all kings were worshipped as Gods. and
at their death their ghosts were propitiated,
and prayers and gifts and sacrifices were
universally made to appease the wrath and
secure the favors of these kingly ghosts:
this was the real origin Of all the super
natural religions that have cursed the hui
man fami'v through all the dark and cheer
less centuries, and Redeemed ali the rivers
of the earth with blood.
This awful superstition reaches far back
in history, but after thousands Of years this
euperstition that all kings were Gods, gave
away TO the modified superstition that
kings are not real and veritahle Gods, but
'hat all kings are sons of Gods. and this
euperstiticn reaches far back into the twi.
light of history; but after thousands OF
years it gave away to the still milder
superstition, that kings are appointed by
God to rule over the toiling millions, and
this superstition with all its sorrows and
horrors still prevails among nearly all the
races of men except the most highly de-
veloped: let us never cease to rejoice and
give thanks to Thomas Paine, Thomas JEFF
ferson and BENJAMIN Franklin who extermi-
mated this devilish superstition from the
United States of America as completely as
the immortal Ingersoll in more recent his
tory banished the devil from our great re-
public, and forever extinguished the flames
Of sulphurous hell.
The people Of the United States and
France are the only great nations of the
earth. that have completely disposed of the
vile and horrible superstition of malig-
nant devil and that other monstrous super
Blue-grass blade., 1908-07-05

stition that kings are appointed by God to
Cypress the honest millions of toiling men;
in nearly all other countries this hideous
nightmare and devilish superstition still
continues to enslave and impoverish many
hundred millions of the human family.
We have on this earth sixteen hundred
million people, and with the exception of
France and our own republic they are near.
ly all the abject and hopeless slaves of
superstition; in Russia alone there are one
hundred and fifty millions of our brothers
who are wretched and miserable slaves of
the wicked superstition that God has ap.
pointed an autocrat to rule them, and
exploit the product Of their hands and
BRAIN they have no solace-no comfort
no liberty and no consolation except that
which springs from the hope of death; their
God-appointed Car owns everything anil
mate and inanimate, the bodies and the
souls Of all this vast number of human
beings.
In the beautiful and historic land of
Spain there live twenty-five million of our
brothers, cursed with the awful blight Of
superstition, and the terrible mildew Of
the inquisition whose dark shadows blot
out every star Of hope and fill the land with
sorrow and desoation the sickening and
sorrowing effects that flow from Pandora's
box of superstition, and that have con-
verted our beautiful earth into a vale of
the whole circumference of the earth would
be included in the sad recital
There are many strange things in human
history. but the strangest and the most mys-
FERROUS of them all is the persistence Of
these phantoms Of the brain that have held
mankind in bondage through all the cheer

need therefore not repeat that the most
solemn and sacred duty Of every lover of
humanity is to labor diligently to extermi-
nate from our beautiful earth every form
Of superstition. and fiji the brain Of the
human race with the sublime truth that the
universe is governed by law and that obe-
dience to natural law would FIJI the world
with iov and gladness.

Fearful Cost of the Experiment of Believing
in Divine Revelations and Crucifed
Gods.

Like milestone, superstition in it's null
titudinous forms has hung upon the car
CT progress through all the dreary ages;
with sorrow and with sadness we ponder
over the pages of history; painfully we
look back into the dark and bloody past,
and see empires rising and falling at the
command of these phantoms Of the human
brain.
The long night of savagery was prolonged
for thousands of years by the terrible
power of superstition; in the slow march
of progress the stage of barbarism Is not
yet passed by majority of the nations OF
this beautiful earth, because of the super
stitions that still survive, and even among
the most highly favored nations of the
globe millions of people continue to believe
in ghosts, talking with the dead, getting re-
ligion, omens, dreams, divine revelations,
crucified saviors and many other stupid and
idiotic superstitions utterly antagonistic to
the progress, happiness and development of
the human race.
The deadly scourges of alcoholism, tuber-
culosis and syphilis which completely beg.
gar the power of human speech to describe,
are innocent plaques when compared to the
hdeous brood of superstitions that have
been transmitted to us from the ages of
savagery and barbarism
The belief in divine revelations and
crucifed Gods, and thousand senseless
superstitions has cost mankind in blood
and tears and money more than all the
mathematicians of the entire world can
compute.
If the vile brood of superstitions which
still sway the world with more than
monarch's power could be destroyed today

period of fifty years, the whole human
family would be singing songs of joy and
gladness, and this earth would be- far
