CHARGES CHRISTIANS
WITH "PIOUS FRAUDS

CHICAGO. June 5.-M. NJ Manga
sarian. who spoke ait Orchestra Hall
yesterday morning on The InfiGers
Bedside" characterized stories circu-
lated by Christians regarding bedside
conversions of such men as Ingersoll.
Thomas Paine, Voltaire and Brad
laugh as pious frauds.
Christians do this for what they
think Is the glory OF God" he said,
They believe that because they are
doing II for this good purpose they
are not doing wrong. In their fanatl.
cism they deceive themselves.
If a man lives good life and
treats his fellow man as a brother he
should have no fear of death. We
have no way OF knowing that we are
responsible 10 a God. and II We follow
the rule OF brotherhood OF man the iu-
ture should not bother us"
