What Constitutes a Freethinker.
II We VIII But Teach Humanity Against
Christianity the Victory Is Ours.
(By A. B. Bennett.)

(By A. b. Bennett)
According to Webster's definition Free
thinker is one who disbelieves in the So
called inspired book of the bible and
divinity Of Christ. Let us consider those
reasons are not all that constitute Free
thinker. The Bible contains the History of
a tribe of people that grew into nation
by its conquests of particular country
Prospered in its Arts and Sciences as
previous nations had done. For centuries
from Deuteronomy to Revelation we hear
little or nothing of a heaven or a hell, but
at this time clearer revelation is said to
have come to this nation but it is also
silent about any future state.
Conspicuous characters of many genera
tion pass before us. To all appearances
they do not differ from similar characters
of other nations by having any belief in a
future state. Then we pass from the his
torical to the religious writings of this
people. OF their hymn; of their templeA
of their prophets, etc. Here, too We do not
meet with any clear reference to a future
state The wonders of this people is their
works Of Art and Sciences, all before the
Christian era; some of which have not been
excelled or equalled to this day. Is It not
historical fact that when a people go
after strange gods, they, the people, in
variably lapse into a state of semi-bar-
barism? Cannot we trace tho wanderings
of this people from Christ down through the
centuries of semi -barbarism. Kingcraft,
Priestcraft, ignorance and superstition?
Cannot we trace the greater progress of
this people from Calico, Bruno, Martin,
Luther, Savanolo, down through the cent
uries to Paine, Ingersoll, Edison, Mrs
Henry DIR. Bowles and thousand and one
immortals that are on earth for the ameli-
Grafton OF all mankind? Let us bear in
mind that the bible has been translated and
revised score Of times, always conforming
to the times in which 1t is revised and that
the original text is as much different as a
horse Is from pig, compared with the
present version. Therefore, as true Free
thinkers let us by precept and example
teach the truths of the universe as revealed
In Nature; the truths of Astronomy as
known, today the truths of physiology;
the truths of a material religion, that
polytheists still STEPPED in dreams of
NEUROLOGICAL superstition may become free.
Let us teach a religion of humanity. Let
us carry the doctrine of rational Civil
Liberty where liberty is not. and. in doing

All Gods are Creatures of Mans Making
and Change as Mems Notions Change.
(By John H. Schwartz.)

(By John H. Schwartz.)
1t has been the experience of the human
race that the gods change as the race
changes. Scarcely two persons can be
found having the same concept of a god.
There is hardly an intelligent old person,
who advances in thought that attributes the
same qualities to his god today as he did
in his youth Each day has found some
modification necessary.
1t is plain, then, that the gods are
creatures of mans own making and are
either good or bad, as the one who makes
him. Let a man describe his god and he
but portrays himself If his is a god of
wrath and torture, beware of that man!
Inc person who believes in god at all,
invites compassion, and he who believes in
god of wrath is indeed an object of pity
Not long since | heard this prayer from
preacher Our Father, who art in Heaven,
as we think of the crippes, the invalids,
and of the asylums overflowing with the
insane, we thank thee that no visible sign
of thy displeasure rests upon u.s."
What concept of God! And this is the
Christian god! This is he who "sees the
sparrow fall" and numbers the hair" of
the head!
Poor wretched cripple, this once promis-
ing youth whom disease has ravaged and
deformed; whose 1.-the limbs have been
twisted into gnarled clubs; whose hand.
some form has given way to an unsightly
hunchback; whose buoyant youthful hopes
have been blighted; and whose highest as
pirations have been thwarted! No more
he dreams of a home with loving COM
panion and merry children. No more his
fancy revels in the thoughts of broad acres
and golden harvests. No more his imagina.
tions delight in crowding the busy marts
of the world making his influence felt
among the men of millions. AS he goes
hobblng down the street. people pass to
the other side, rather than to meet him.
Young women who were his tlaymates in
childhood shrink at his approach, not be-
cause they dislike him, but because their
hearts bleed at the sight of his misfortune
But ah, the gods! They being more of
the divine and less of the human, delight
in placing their visible" mark of condemna-
tion upon him. How these words crate
upon the sensibilities of sensible people:
I'VE thank Thee that no visible sign of
Thy displeasure rests upon u.s."

No Visible Sign

Patient toiling mother! How faithful to
every duty! She who read the scriptures
constantly, believed them implicitly. and
put her trust in god incessantly She who
bore so many children in obedience to the
command, "Replenish and multiply the
EARTH" She whose last deliverance left her
a helpless, hopeless invalid, is now recon-
pensed with paralysis. Years of hope, of
faith, of confidence, of happy anticipations
were hers, and this reward. The expected
felicity and the happy ripe old age have
come but to the wheeled chair! Somehow.
sometime, somewhere, for some reason of
which she knows not, the wrath of the gods
have been invoked and now their "visible
sign of displeasure" rests upon her defense

But the worst of all is insanity One

dwell longer upon the misery of the un-
fortunates. 'Tis more than humane man

says: 1T rains, we know not why; the wind
blows, but why we can not tell" Such
science and philosophy died with Martin
Luther, and has been too long dead for
resurrection. Yet this is the mental caliber
of a man who would be teacher and
leader Of the people. This is the igno-
ramus who knows nothing of the nature of
diseases, but has an abundance of knowl-
edge of the wrath of God. Were to seek
for the missing link" would accord this
creature the unique position between where
monkey stops and man begins. And this

came and whittier we are going, and yet
don't know why 1t rains!
How men and women, who came In con-

give their support to such a cruel doctrine,
surpasseth all intelligent human under
