Hear the Other Side

when Matthew says "of the holy ghost"
understand that it was of divine appoint
ment. l take no stock in creeds, but were
the facts of the case properly stated 1t
would be as follows: Conceived by Mary,
and born into the world, and is of the holy
ghost or of divine authority, from god, who
creates all things according to his will"
The fact that the creeds ascribes the
conception to be by the holy ghost instead
of being of the holy ghost, proves that the
whole thing is wrong, and should never
have been thus stated l must ask your
Indulgence for inficting upon you SO long
A letter, as l have written it, not for publ
cation, but for your own reading.
l trust that you will not be offended
because OF my recalling to you your severe
remarks upon the woman whose husband
before his death enjoyed the Blue Grass
Blade, informed you of the comfort he had
just before going to that condition which,
If you are right, there can be nothing be-
yond the death of any one. What harm,
pray, does 1t do to you, and your faith, II
the woman and her husband shall never
see life beyond the confines of the grave?
The abuse you infiict harms neither the
living nor the dead, if the dead rise not.
What harm can my faith in life of eternal
felicity awaits all those who are believers
in the Lord Jesus Christ, as the son of
god? The faith which have In the gospel
of Christ rests upon the testimony of the
apostles, and believe it not, your faith is
also predicated on testimony; but your
faith (belieD rests upon things which no
one disputes, who are Christians; yet you
deny and refuse the testimony OF Christians
and accept the testimony of infidels. You
could not upon your own knowledge tell
either your age, or who were your parents,
still, having to rely wholly upon the testi-
mOny of those who were present at your
birth, it would be an insult to you were
l to say that you do not know when you
were born, nor who your parents were, just
because it came to you from witnesses pres
ent or told to you by your parents, or those
who knew them.
Could you go into court and prove your
own birth and parentage without the aid
of testimony, oral or written?
do not pretend to believe in God, or his
son. Jesus the Christ, except upon the
written testimony of the apostles, neither
can you prove your own faith in your own
pedigree except by the use of oral or writ
ten testimony of witnesses. 1t seem ridicu-
lous for men to assail Christianity as being
fake, and Jesus to be a myth, when we
are all creatures OF faith for all which we
do. The disbelievers' faith is as genuine
as those who have Christian faith; the
difference is not with the men but the
teachings, of either infidels or Christians.
Both are shut up, to take testimony from
men, and there is no escape from this posi-
ton.

(By John T. Pearce.)

(By John T. Pearce.)
Having seen three copies of the Blue
Grass Blade of which you are the editor,
and having read the nrst installment of
A. A. Snow on the Christians Messiah, l
wish to say that If Mr.. or Mrs. q can't say
which, Snow is a good sample in his or
her ideas of the scripture quotations, as
given on page 8, of May II issue, feel con-
fident that the rest of the article will not
pass muster with persons who take the
pains to verify the writer's quotation.
The first reference of the writer is to
Micah VIZ. and remains yet to be fulfilled,
when Christ shall return to gather his
saints, then he will rule over Israel, and
gather all the tribes now scattered among
the heather nations, the ten lost tribes par
ticuarly.
The absurd idea of connecting Jesus
with Judges Kills exhibits a wanton desire
to belittle the truth. The context plainly
shows that 1t was Samson who was to de-
stroy the Philstines The birth of Samson
is announced by heavenly messenger to
the mother. How you can, as one supposed
to point the truth, permit writers for your
paper to write and you publish such nom
sense is very puzzling indeed The book
of Micah does not lie. Nor does Judges
kills refer to Jesus Christ. Look for your
self and see If A. A. Snow has not over
looked Samson.
A. A. Snow writes like one who has little
care lOr IdCtS, WHICH he Ut sue MAKES OuC
TO be wholly false.
Thomas Paine made the gross error con-
corning Herod, confounding two distinct
Herods to be the same man. Herod the
Great was alive when Christ was born and
died soon after, when Christ was very
young. The writer says that both (mean-
ing Luke and Matthew make out that
Jesus was born during Herods lifetime"
Surely Herod the Great had a successor
named also Herod Antipas, and Josephus
says of this successor that Tibernius, the
emperor, by action of the Roman Senate,
made him king over the Jews, and it
was this kind, Herod Antipas, who caused
John the Baptist to be killed; and, If l am
not mistaken, Herod Agrippa and Plate
became friends on the day that Jesus was
crucifed and also the King Herod, who
slew James, the brother of John, both OF
whom were apostles. So there were three
Herods, instead of one.
1t is preposterous for one to say that
there is a period Of nine years from the
birth of Christ to the death of Herod, when
the taxing under Cyrenius occurred.
A. A. Snow is a very superficial reader,
and / will send to you some of the scripture
quotations of Mr.. Thomas Paine from
whom A. A. Snow has( like thousands OF

others), who without testing the accuracy
of Mr.. Paine's scripture quotations, go
laundering along through life, the cham
pions CD of honest CD Freethought
l notice in the May 9Th number the ar
ticle of Dr. T. j. Bowles. who makes his
attack, commencing with Constantine, who
was the one man who gave to the apostles
from the church of god, known now as
the holy Roman Catholic church, as well
as her many daughters, the power to en-
force church creeds, and doctrines, un-
known to the apostles, and the Christians
of the first, second, third and fourth cen
turtles, which brought on the horrid wars
and prosecutions which have been waged
under the name of Christ, the prince OF
peace. In all fairness, and without fear
of contradiction, l ask you to exhibit one
line from Christ, or his apostles, that war
rants any man to charge that the Chris
tians, prior to the fourth century, ever per-
secuted a man or woman, or put to death
single soul, because these persons did not
accept their doctrine. On the contrary,
Jews and Gentiles prior to the fourth Gen.
fury prosecuted and slew the disciples of
Christ, "as enemies of mankind"
You will find in the New Testament
abundant truth as to the peacable conduct
of the disciples of Christi and, there Is
abundant evidence that the apostles taught
the disciples of Christ to submit to the
civil governments, whether of kings or
magistrates; and to submit to every ordi-
nance of man for the Lords sake" They
were taught not to be engaged in seditions.
This record may be of advantage to you, to
know for yourself by a careful reading OF
the New Testament epistles to the several
churches; and having discovered that the
church of god, of which Jesus Christ, the
son of god, is the head, ought not to be
charged with the crimes which have dis
graced the name of Christi and in the con-
domination of the religion OF Jesus Christ
{ you no doubt innocently indulge), never
was guilty of doing to a soul on earth at
of god 1t has ever been the work OF
apostles, be they Roman Catholic or Prot
estants. / am confident that when you
seriously study the history of the church
of god, for the years previous to the advent
OF the monster, Constantine, that there Is
now no cause to belittle the religion that
Christ and his apostles instituted, near two
thousand years ago. The first battle which
the Roman Catholic church precipitated
was over the birth of Christ. A creed was
formulated which declared that Jesus Christ
was conceived by the holy ghost and born
of the Virgin Mary etc. The bible every
where places 1t that a woman conceives;
and Mary also conceived, and not the holy
ghost Matthew says: THAT which Is con-
ceived in her is of the holy ghost" and not
by the holy ghost. 1t was n miraculous
birth, accomplished by the Holy Ghost com
ing upon Mary, and the power of the high
est (god) overshadowing her; consequently

County Poultry Raisers' Association,
says that their first Annual Show
given in December, was a success not
only in the fact that created a greater
interest in the breeding Of fine fowls
among the farmers Of this county, but
also because almost the entire expense
of conducting the show was covered
by the amount collected as entry fees
from those entering their birds in the
exhibits.
