is the retention in the system Of

NO NEED FOR A CRUTCH.

christianity is the divine crutch of
humanity"
The above statement is attributed to
Rev. I. j. Spencer, pastor of the Cen
trail Christian Church, of Lexington,
being a portion of a printed report of
a sermon delivered by him. The report
consisted of about two columns of
reading matter and owing to its length
it is fair to assume that it was pre-
pared by Mr.. Spencer, himself, and by
him delivered to the press for publ
cation. Under such conditions the
Blade is willing to accept the quotation
as authentic.
Christianity is the divine crutch
of humanity"
The idea is fatal to the religious

tedly the Christian concept. In the
center of the scene appeared a table.
AT one end sat the old man-like being
that stood for god the father. About
the table, at either end stood a group
OF beings, men, women and children
carrying harps, horns AMI trumpets,
upon which they were supposed to be
playing. AT the immediate end of the
table, to the left, stood vacant shair
When the ascention took place, Jesus,
in the body, got inside a cloud circle
and rose upward until he landed on
terra firma, above, and Immediately
took the vacant seat. The bat, sup
posed to represent the holy ghost,
roasted on the table, and Immediately
we thought of Poe's Raven. Even such
a barbaric conception of the life to
come, more crude than the happy
hunting grounds of the American
Indian, excited contempt instead of
sympathy and at once the idea arose
that men and women must be mentally
unbalanced to accept and believe in
such a scheme of things
If that is heaven we do not hesitate
10 say, rlgnJ now, that we don I want
it. If there is seat held in reserve for
our use we surrender all claim upon it.
If that is the manner in which we are
expected to spend eternity on account
Of orthodox Christianity we decline the
invitation. Rather, yea, thousand
times rather, the ever dreamless sleep
of an eternal nOn-existence, than a
participant in such monstrous farce.
And yet, this is religion. Every
system that has encumbered the earth
with its presence point to such an
ultimate for mankind. 1t is unworthy
the efforts insisted upon to attain it.
The game is not worth the candle
If we are ever to enjoy heaven, real
or fancied, let it be here while our
loved ones are with us, while we know
them as they are and can realize the
blessed happiness they can bring.

A VISION OF HEAVEN.

in one and one in three.
We have seen them al.
On a recent Sunday the editor of
the Blade witnessed a reproduction of
what is known as the passion play at
moving picture show and for Grass
materialism, a religious scheme built
upon absurdity and barbaric concep-
ion, we were furnished with an abun-
dance of evidence. Every feature con-
nected with the entertainment pointed
most conclusively to the fact that In
gersoll spoke truth when he said that
an honest god was the mobiles, work
of man." This implies that all gods
are man made products and must be
material beings.
God the father was represented as
an old man, almost decrepit with age,
having a long, flowing white beard,
long white hair and wearing a blue,
loose gown. God the son we saw grow
up from infancy to mature manhood
in the space of few minutes, raise The
dead, heal the sick, and then got killed
himself. God the holy ghost, which
is reported as descending like a dove,
appeared to resemble bat, or an owl
more than dove, and taken altogether
the play, as presented, should be
enough to fill every spectator with
wholesome and lasting disgust for
everything connected with the name of
Christianity or the system of religion
that passes under its sanction. The
whole proceeding appeared in the ma
ture of a pantOmime and was suffici-
ent to impress the thought that the al
legged incidents in Nazareth, Jerusa-
lem, and on the Galilean lakes, are
mere fctions of ignorance, born in the
brain of scheming stupidity.
When one considers the fact that the
presentation of the play was given
with view of pandering to depraved
and superstitious taste, of catering to
what is generally supposed to be the
popular opinion concerning religion,
the wonder becomes more intense why
such performance should not cast
discredit upon the entire system. The
artificial posings of men and women,
the grand stand plays, the wonderful
climaxes of farce and tragedy, the
needless shedding of blood, the
schemes plots and intrigues, the
frauds and deceptions, all portrayed
creates disgust instead Of appreciation
and the cause of humanity is neglected
by pandering to such morbid tastes.
On the other hand, if there be aught in
the religious. sentiment, it is not ma
terially aided by such productions.
What impressed us most was the
representation of heaven, and admit

sist of an aggregation of mental and
moral cripples to whom support of
some kind is absolutely necessary, that
support being furnished by the preach
ers who are so superior that they can
get along without it. When it comes to
men al and moral strength human
giants are to be found on the outside
of the churches, removed from it's in
finence, and free from the repressive
gloom of orthodoxy, while the weak
lings are in the pews ready to listen to
and accept just such erroneous notions
as the one presented above.
There can be no question of the fact
that the dOgmatic assumptions Of the
clergy, of all denominations, has been
fecund mother of doubt. By as
suming to know too much of the pri-
vate pans of the deity, by pretending
to have special means of communica-
ton viii him, by demanding too alb
ject an obedience to church flats, by
attempting to stifle honest inquiry and
to seal the lips of living scholars with
the dicta of dead scholastcs, by stand
ing ever ready to brand as blasphemers
all who presume to differ or dare TO
question, the clergy have driven thous-
ands of honest men and women from
the churches, induced independent
thought, and from these faults have
grown the great army of Liberals
This army is more stupendous than the
church is willing to admit, and it must
now take particular notice that not
every man and woman who differs and
disagrees proclaims it from the house
tops. Even with many church people,
policy is the distinguishing character
istic of the age.
Christianity is the divine crutch of
humanity"
Then it becomes the bounden duty of
all Freethinkers to demonstrate to hui
manity that it has no further need for
such support. Men and women who
know and practice self-reliance are
able to realize how weak such claim
can be. Few doubters there are who
may yield passive assent to the pre-
valent orthodoxy, but such doctrines
from modern pulpit are apt to COM
pei even the earnest believer to enact
the role of Peter under compulsiOn.

praved appetite, whether mental or
physical, seeks ever a stronger stimu-
liant, and the depravity arising out of
such a mOribund view of human life,
renders some sort of stimulant nec-
essary to the mentally weak, but these
are not to be classified under the
generic term of humanity. Such men
as Rev. Spencer continue to devote
their energies to the propagation of

pitiless monarch of the mind, tells us
