barked in the iron business with Frank
Rockefeller, buying a mine on Lake
Superior.
Corrigan invested 100000 in a fleet

When the hard times of the early
nineties came, Corrigan went to John
10 Rockefeller for financial assistance,
obtaining loans, it is said, aggregating
$40, 900, giving his oil certificates as
security, besides mortgaging his yes
sells. Additional loans were made by
John D. Rockefeller to Corrigan and
to Frank Rockefeller.
In the panic of 1893 he found it diff

Corrigans Standard Oil stock at Sl6S

Teller, claiming the oil magnate knew

The Storm Nos. at Sea.

The picturesque name of storm nose
(Gewitternase) is given in Germany to
the wave Of high barometric pressure
which often precedes storm or a
heavy squall. The barometer rises sud-
denly and then falls more gradually.
1t is believed that this phenomenon is
responsible for sudden changes in the
level Of the sea. Observations ON the
seas surrounding Denmark have led to
the conclusion that the change Of level
thus produced sometimes amounts to
no less than three feet-Youth's Com

THE WORKS OF VOLTAIRE.

The Blade is pleased to specially
direct the attention of its readers to
the advertisement appearing in this is
sue of the complete works of Voltaire,
published and offered for sale by the
ST. Hubert Guild, of Akron, Ohio.
From a personal examination of this
edition we are able to pronounce it to
be the very best collection of Vol
taire's works eXtant 1t is complete,
and the 43 volumes constitute an en-
tire Freethought library in itself. The
terms of sale are so reasonable and
easy that these splendid books are
brought within easy reach of all.
In recent issue of the Blade we
printed a picture and biography of Vol
taire, but it was so brief owing to our
limited space that we were unable to
do the subject full justice. Let it be
known that Voltaire was even more
than deadly foe to the organized
church for he was an ardent advocate
Of the political and social rights of the
people and assailed with unerring aim
the pretensions Of monarchy as well as
priestcraft. Though born of the
TTcucH dflSlOcTdcy Hc ulu uoI HcoiIdIc
to expose their shams and sins. In
addition to this he was philosopher
and students of Voltaire may see in
his famous writings the foundations
upon which the present Separatist
movement, now fact in the French
republic, was built. 1t was through
VOltaire that the goddess of Liberty
was crowned in Paris and the volumes
here presented furnish abundant argu-
ment upon kindred topics that they
are a world of information Every
Freethinker should be possessed Of this
edition and we take pleasure in recon-
mending them to our readers.
If you should order set kindly re
help us thereby.

THE POWER OF THOUGHT.

Thinking means an abundance of
hard work. 1t also implies consider
able leisure. There must be leisure
time in which to think, if thinking is
to be done. Orthodoxy does not think.
Its advocates do not think They have
much leisure time on their hands, but
it is spent in worship instead of
thought, and the only thinking ever
done by the professors of orthodoxy
has been forced upon them as a means
of self-defense. Fidelity to their creed.
excludes honest thought. To- think out
side the confines of their creed woulo
he an act Of Unfalthfulness u new
idea seldom, if ever, strikes them While
defending the old, the sacred. the past
that is dead, the clergy cannot beco.ie
inventive Neither can they become
original Like a newly made captive
bird beating against the bars OF it's
cage, struggling to be free, the human
mind has ev," beat against Tn" bars ~
that prison which orthodoxy has con
structed for it, In it's struggles the
mind has bent, twisted and broken these
bars 1t has passed beyond them, and
the priest stands defending but an
empty dungeon.
The inability of the priesthood to
think has caused a lack Of inventive
and scientific genius among them. If
we go to any church. no matter the de-
nomination or the personality Of the
preacher, So iorg as it passes un Ter the
name of Christian and is so accepted,
the teaching s precisely the same, the
methc of teaching only being slightly
different All orthodoxy, by whatever
nane or sect, is one and the same,
founded on the same myth built by the
same intolerance, and perpetuate1 by
the same degree of ignorance. The
power of the church is in illiteracy
1t is the independent thinking of the
masses that has impelled sembiance
to thinking by the priesthood. Self
defense forced the issue. The priest
not only had to defend his church and
it's creed against the advancing intelli-
gencc, but he likewise had to defend
himself Here and there, like an oasis
in some dreary desert, few think too
much, and their candor cOmpe!s hem
to ally themselves with the intelligent
thought of the day.

AndOver that viii be taken to Harvar
This is the remnant o" /. once proud
institution and it's decay, it's decline
has been produced by the rapid cha lg,
in public sentiment now hostile to the
illogical pretensions. Institutions that
teach subjects of modern Importance
and in accord with modern ideas and
demands, finds students galore, but the
most that Andover has been able to
muster after years of prosperity and
Importance, is about three students
for each class upon which an annuity
of about $4,000 per capita is being
spent.
Reference is made to this transition
as a tragedy. And it is tragedy.
The principal factor therein is theology.
1t is not tragedy of blood. 1t is not
a violent, yet, it is an impressive trag
edy. In the costly buildings held,
owned and controlled by Andover lie
buried all it's glorious traditions Of
religious faith, never to undergo
resurrection, never again to see the
light. The young men and the young
themselves anent theological matters
women of our day do not concern
nor they do they seek such a form of
instruction. In rare cases one of liber-
al mind turns toward it for no other
purpose than to study it in comparison
with other branches in the expectation
of acquiring facts for refutation and
argument. Traditional theology offers
but little attraction in itself to the ris-
ing generation. Secular competition
has become too keen and in the strug~
gle for existence the useless, the non
essential, has met with defeat. These
are the contributOry causes to the pass
ing Of Andover. AS time proceeds the
competition will become more intense,
the dissatisfaction with such instruc-
ton will become more universal and
theology as separate branch of in
struction must ultimately pass away.
This is distinct triumph for ration
alism. 1t is an educational victory
The battle has been long one The
struggle has been intense, yet carried
on without the blazOnry of trumpets.
The transition came by gradual
changes but in the end it is distinct
triumph for liberal and rationalstic
thought. There is something pathetic
