to their own nature by continuing to
preach such odious things that are calculated
TO strike terror to the hearts of children
aye, and even cast cloud over the minds
of grown people, as the records of our in
sane asylums attest.
If one is really anxious to learn and to
know how awful and dreadful the teachings
of Christianity are let him, or her, read tue
10th sermon of Wesley, in Vol. IL, and the
18th sermon of Sturgeon in the volume of
sermons accredited to him. Surgeons 18th
sermon is upon the eternity of punishment
by and under the DEGREES of our dear heav-
emily father. 1t is my candid opinion that
not one in ten who profess to read can tell
what Wesley, Kempis or Sturgeon said.
Wesley says that our heavenly father fash
toned the soul so that it could endure
furnace fire without being destroyed, on
the same principle as asbestos. The pous
Kempis, with all his piety, held that sinners
would have different modes of punishment
melted out to them. The misers, for exam
pie, he held would have molten gold poured
down their threats. In one of his sermons
Sturgeon said:-
Young man, you who are standing so un-
concerned in the aises, unless you repent
of your sins, God Il suppose meaning our
heavenly father Will punish you to all
eternity. Not your soul, but your material
body, with a material fire, yes, unto all
eternity"
Reader, did you ever reflect upon the
word Eternity" The very idea is beyond
our conception. Can it be POSSIBLE that
there is man who believes that there is
god who would punish human being,
whom he had made, to all eternity, with
non consuming fire, or in anywise to all
eternity, because he failed to believe or
because he simply could not believe as he
did?
Oh, we priests and preachers, what an
odium we bring upon the name and charac-
ter of the very god We worship and proclaim!
What shame it is that you are permitted
to hide yourselves behind a book made by
yourselves for the sole purpose of debasing
men and women and making them subject
to your own wish and command.
But your days are numbered. The bless
ed light of truth now shines through its
dark pages and your tricks are thus ex-

With Concluding Argument. Upon the I'm
possibility of Gods Existence.
(By j. NJ. Gilbert.)
(Concluded.)

But nothing suits Christians better than
to pray and agonize IN public. The church
is public place the same as Il synagogue.
At recent meeting they came out and
preached and prayed at the Fostoffice, at
the drug store, and ON the street corner.
They are thus branded as a generation of
hypocrites. For a pretense they make
long prayers" in the synagogues and on the
streets, and wish to be counted holy for
their much speaking. Jesus is said to have
sent the multitudes away and prayed alone,
except one time he was praying alone while
his disciples were with him. Those who
prayed in public Jesus called hypocrites.
sensible person will not pray for rain
or against rain. He will not pray against
the boil worm or any other pest. But there
is just as much sense in praying such pray
ers as any kind of prayer. Is it not written
"Al things whatsoever ye shall ask in
prayer etc? The sensible person knows
that natural causes and forces cannot be
changed by prayer. Ahe natural forces are
blind and take no more heed for the good
of man than for the lowest worm that

So then prayer is useless.
GOD.
What is God? Is ne a thing? If he is
no thing (nothing), he does not exist. If
be is a thing and things cannot exist with
out being created then God had to be
created. This last God would have to be
created by another God, and so on ad infn-
itum. The argument for a creation would
prove the necessity for multitude of gods,
and there would be no end to it. Such an
argument is reduced to absurdity, and is
worthless to prove anything. If God can
exist without being created, the universe
and all it contains can exist without being
created The Bible says that all things are
possible to believer. Then let the be-
lever create something new. Then we will
believe him, his book and his god and not
until then It is irrational to say that some
things had to be created while another did
not. We know that we have the universe

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
Does a Believer Exist?

God is not. The universe is infinite and in
cludes everything and all space. 1t is self
evident truth that two Things cannot occupy
the same space at the same time. If God
existed, the universe could not exist. But
the universe exists therefore, God cannot
exist. What is a person who prays to
imagination?
The -worshippers who prayed to the
sum- and the heathens who bowed to idols
of wood and stone, were more rational than
those who pray to space, to nothing, to a
Pigment of the imagnation-to an assumed
God that cannot be seen and Leard and is
not manifested to any of the senses. Prayer
is the most irrational act that any one could
be guilty Of
To one not blinded by the musty cob
webs of a reason defying superstition
prayer is recognized as the vainest of vain
things. 1t is seen to be of no more force
than the baying of dog at the moon, or
the incantations of heather savages to
drive away eclipses. But Christians are all
the time singing about the"old time ignor
ance" (religion) as good enough for them.
A rock in one side of the sack to balance
the pumpkin in the other side was good
enough for the simpleton, because it was
good enough for his father The people of
long ago used the old reap-hook, the bull
tongue pillow, the old hand-loom, and the
old ox-cart because better ways had not
yet been invented. What would you think
of a man saying now, These things were
good enough for our fathers and they are
good enough for me-? Our ancestors be-
lieved in the old superstitions, such as
witch craft, ETC., and believed the 'old time
religion" because they were no better in
formed. The truths of modern science had
not yet reached them. Most of the orthodox
preachers of today are doing their best to
perpetuate the "old time religion" Ggnor

an amendment to the constitution increasing the
number of county judges from two TO Ave extend
ing the terms of the present Judges to fourteen
years, and making the terms OF the new Judges

wishes of the minority
In March Senator McCarren procured the adop-
ton OF an amendment striking out the provision
increasing the terms OF the present Judges This
feature was characterized by Senator McCarren
unconstitutional" While no one was around
last Friday Senator Foelker put the provision
back in the bill, and tonight it came to light
An attempt was made to substitute the Assembly
bill. but Sen@tor Fuller objected because the bills
were not identical.
'lf the Senator was not derehct in his duty he
would know that both bills Identical" retorted
Senator Foeker. This to Senator Fuller
who declared that the restoration huda not been
made in the open Senate lie looked up the records
ana found that IT was restored last Friday Now,
the Democrats are preparing to appeal to the I'd
state Republicans 10 defeat the bill When Il comes
up on the order Of final passage. The argument
will br that the resolution Is 'uncousttutionsI =.
