FREETHOUGHT ORGANIZATION.

By the time this issue Of the Blade is in the hands
Of its readers we can safely presume that the pro-
posed Church Of Humanity, under course Of organi-
zation by w. II. Kerr, of Great Bend Kan and those
associated with him, will have become fact in the
current history Of Freethought.
Every organization Of this character is indicative
of another forward step in the direction Of human
progress that the Church is to be made exclusively
of men and women who have not merely renowned
belief in the existence Of god, but its application
blanks demand, they must declare that all gods,
ghosts and devils mere fabulous beings and have
never enjoyed actual existence. In measure the
organization is expermentive. Its success, ultimate
or present. must altogether depend upon its propa-
ganda. Given the needed encouragement and support
there is no good reason, excuse why the Organiza
ton should not be made AS its membership

the case away. The Blade does not doubt
that vast number of the people look upon

going further, to that the leverage
college professor" is ful-ledged nidel, minus re-
gion minus faith and all too anxious to insti his
ndel notions into the minds of his pupils. This is
much better than had anticipated and the Blade
expresses ardent and sincere wish that it might be
true. The influence that education eXerts upon
bgion is one Of intelligence only An intelligent man
cannot be superstitous. A religious is full Of
superstition. This will explain, in measure, why
much nfdety comes from the college class rooms.
Education is destructive Of religion. 1t must be. Not
that any particular effort is made in that direction
but because it is the natural bent and trend. The
religion Of an educated man must always be of a
very questionable character Infdelity relies solely
upon education in its battle against orthodoxy, and

and dsbelefs and assuming the same fearlessness in
propaganda, the organization do a world of good
IN its field of operations and if capable teachers are
put to work the objective should be attained.
From an impartial investigation of the objects of
the organization they are nothing further than a
declaration of, belief in, and purpose TO propagate
the philosophy Of materiaism. AS the materiaistic
philosophy is not new thousands adhering thereto it
follows that the only feature is the organization
itself Aside from the working platforms and de-
mands entertained and promulgated by other and
cider societies, precisely the same principles have
been taught those now to be undertaken bv the
Church of Humanity. The American Secular Union
and before it. the National Liberal League and fol
lowing it, the Freethought Federation of America
and still LATER the National Liberal Party all stood
for taught and disseminated the same phase of ma
teralism and these included a disbelief in cod or
future conscious life The moment man or woman
stands upon that ground, matter the cause the eff
feet of the belief, mbeef, is all that the Church
of Humanity could call for in spite of the oft-repeaed
assertion that its declaration of membership princi-
pies go somewhat further.
1t is claimed, however, that discovery" has been
made to the effect that all gods fabulous beings
Fabulous beings do not exist \ non-entitv cannot be
'discovered'' for there is nothing to '"discover'
about it, The truths of science aided by the light of
natural philosophy, with convincing force lead to the
conclusion that there is such thing, or being as
god, gods, and it is up to the believer in the gods
to prove the truth Of their position while it is not
required of the nbeiever that he should undertake
to prove negative. If god cannot be proven he she
it, is mproven. There is nothing further to
know about the subject This is precisely the posi-
ton of the Atheist in contradistncton to that of the
Theist The Theist says god exists. The Atheist
demands proof. The Theist is unable to give it. He
reiterates his 'belief' and supposes that ends the
matter. The Atheist still stands mmoved by mere
expressions of belief and continues to demand one
solitary fact tending to prove god In the absence of
such proof the Atheist occupies his negative attitude
and must remain there for there is no other intei-
gent logical course for him to pursue.
The intelligent reader will now be able to perceive
the distinction between Atheism and Agnosticsm
The latter is but confession of ignorance and to all
