god and no future life, and what kind of
meetings they need to make the most of
this life, the people everywhere are going
to abolish all the religious superstitions
and ceremonies, and start the new kind

men for their own interests to confine
themselves to facts and figures and for
get such matters as the Bible and the
memory of Lincoln. We are patient
people, but unless they choose to run
amuck in madness to their own de-
struction, they had best keep their hands
