God and future life, or belief therein constitute
the entire field Of religious thought.
All the books and Bibles all the prayers and creeds
all the religions known to man. have been constructed
upon the belief in these theories without an ota of
proof concerning them.
Take the idea Of god out Of the human mind and
the belief in future life would speedily follow, for
without god, GODS future existence beyond this
life would be meaningless The god idea first found
root in human thought the Of the ignorant

life theory a later conception and necessarily
grew out of the former.

Roth Pays Tribute to Mrs.

Battle.

Battling in dark hallway with man
and wife trying to throw him down a
fight of stairs, just because he called
for the rent, was the experience Philip
C. Roth, clerk, living at 105 Clinton
street, had according to his story in
the First Criminal Court today.
Roth was a prisoner on the complaint
of Frank r. Pierce an engineer on the
Pennsylvania railroad, who lives at 123
Commerce street. 1t was Pierce whose
appearance indicated a tusslc. His left
optic was highly discolored and he had
TO hsYe q blinker to cover II.
From the 81 cries told, Roth called to
collect the rent. and Mrs. Pierce, who
had already paid it 10 another, ordered
the young man away.
While he was seeking an explanation
the husband appeared and the trio be
came a mixed-up affair on the hall
landing. Mrs. Pierce drove her elbow
into Roths jaw, and husband Pierce
made vicious lunge with her elbow
Roth said he ducked and then drove his
right to Pierce's left eye.
Mrs. Pierce says the blow was hard
as her husband fell and remained un
conscious for five minutes.
The case was adjourned until tomor-
row, to give Roth a chance to produce
three material witnesses who, he de-
clares, saw the whole affair in the dark
hallway.
