SELF-SERvING TESTIMONY.

Allowing for all the claims that
might be made against him for sensa-
tional extravagances, Thomas Dixon,
Jr., former preacher, now author and
playwright presents some startling
facts in an article written by him and
published in the New Broadway Mag
azine for May The title of his dis
course is given in the form of a
question, serious enough to attract at
tention, namely, "Is Christianity on
the decline?"
On every hand there are abundant
signs that morally, numerically, and
even in theological sense, the Chris
tian Church is now upon rapid de-
cline and is bound to fall into that
common fate which came over older
religious systems. Its pulpit is with
out sufficient moral force to drive
home an intelligent opinion, and the
pews have become its absolute master.
Blue-grass blade., 1908-05-17

the requisite strength to make it a f.
nancial as well as propaganda success.
While the preparations are being
made for the successful launching of
the School, the Blade desires to ex-
press it's hearty thanks at the kindly
reception rendered it by the leading
ratlonalistic and Freethought publica-
lions OF North America. Especially is
this desire manifested towards Parker
ii. Sercombe, editor Of Tomorrow Mag
azine; j. Spencer Ellis, editor of Secu-
lar Thought; William HI. Maple, edi-
tor of Ingersoll Memorial Beacon; j.
b. Lenau, editor of Peoples Press;
Singleton w. Davis, editor of Humani-
atrian Review; j. Howard Cashmere,
editor of the Balance, and Others
The Blade welcomes this splendid
harmony Of purpose. 1t is an indica-
ton that by mutual help the Free
thought press can make itself a ire
mendOus power for good in the land.
By combined efforts more valuable
work can be accomplished.
With such a prospect the Blade
would urge upon the F'reethinkers who
are willing and able to aid the school
by the purchase of these scholarships
If they have not the time, or inclna-
ton, to take the course of instruction
for themselves, they would have the
right and privilege Of donating the
scholarship to some young friend to
whom it would prove a benefit and a
blessing.
Now friends, the Blade is doing the
best it can with it's limited means and
looks to you for that hearty support
and cooperation that will make for a
permanent, lasting, and glorious sue
cess.
Blue-grass blade., 1908-05-17
AN ENGINE OF PROPAGANDA

The past week has been an excep-
tionally good one for the Blade!
What does this meanY
1t is possible that the era of strug
gle, doubt and depression is passing
away and the period of progress and
advancement has set in.
Let us hope such is the case and if
the Blade can do aught to encourage
it rest assured it shall be done.
Many friends write us that they like
the tone of the paper, that it's articles
show a decided Improvement, that
they look for and enjoy it's weekly ar
rival at their homes.
Some send in new subscribers, some
forward two, or more, but the climax
was reached when our good friend,
George o. Roberts, of Ohio, sent in
a club of seventeen new subscribers
all paid up in advance, for one year
and accompanied it with an order for
literature.
VI course, you would like to know
just how friend Roberts managed it.
Read his letter in the correspondence
column and the secret will be given
you. After reading that letter you
might expediently resort to a similar
plan. Such gatherings are always
good things in themselves, but when
such beneficial results can be drawn
from them the glories of the occasion
are enhanced
The Blades ultimate success de-
ponds not SO much upon the editor,
the manager or the publisher. 1t de-
ponds upon the actions Of the ACTIVE
BRIGADE who willingly give a little
time and labor in it's behalf. The edi-
tor must work just the same for the
few as for the many. The presses must
run for them. The types must be set.
Few or many these conditions cannot
be altered. If it falls short the Blade
suffers.
Are you member of the ACTIVE
1t not, why not?
Read Brother Roberts letter and
then reflect for but moment and the
whole situation is before you.

Christian religion has placed the brand
OF the courtesan upon all who have
done likewise. To this extent is the
orthodox religion, priest ridden and
priest-cursed, responsible for a large
portion of the suffering, the cruelty,
the torture and agony wrought by
modern society.

ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS.

Last week the Blade published a
communication from E. A. Pickney, of
Forest City, Iowa, to the effect that
he would purchase one years schol-
arship in the Correspondence School,
and, if unable to enjoy the benefits
thereof himself, he would donate it to
some deserving Frethinker who would
like it, Attention is again called to
the system suggested and TO the fur
Their fact that another Iowa man. III.
M Fish, OF Pella, donates the sum of
ten dollars to the school, although
being 90 years Of age, is at an age
when the instruction to be obtained
from the school can confer but little
benefit upon him. Of course, having
made the donation, Mir Fisk is entitled
to the scholarship and we have written
him that he can present that scholar
ship to any person of his own choosing.
These are great helps to the school
and 1T opens up an avenue whereby
prosperous Freethinkers can help the
school and at the same time render an
efficient service to the cause of human
ity. Every scholarship means, in the
end, another F'reethinker. That also
means another substantial foe against
priestcraft and superstition. It also
means an enemy, based ON educational
qualifications, against god-worship and
ldolatry. 1t opens up a wide avenue
for useful work. 1t affords opportuni-
ties for capable human service and
these facts are presented with view
to directing closer attention to them.
During the past ten days we have
had numerous inquiries concerning the
school from an army of interested ap-
plicants. The prospects are exceed
ingly fine for the successful opening
OF the School, but, present indications
point to the fact, or rather suggest,
that the opening will have to be de-
ferred until about September because
OF the inability to procure The neces-
sary geological specimens for the use
OF students in time. We would rather
delay two months than open with an
incomplete arrangement Our close
friends have advised to this end and
we accept the point as being a wise
course. If, however, the present rate
of increase in membership keeps up we
shall be able to open by September 1,
next, with, approximately, fifty or
sixty pupils. This will not be profita-
BILE, nor will the school pay it's way out
with such a number, but we shall open
none the less, in full confidence, that
after taking one years course, every
student will demand another year, and
we can add new ones from time to
line, thus gradually building up to
