Through the forethought of little Free
thinker, Miss Hazel Sherman, of kau Claire,
Wisconsin, we are in receipt Of clipping
from one of her home papers which con-
tains an article written by H. G. Putnam,
on the religious issues of the day, wherein
he seeks to unravel and explain much of
physical phenomena without resorting to
supematuralism and, in a measure to dis
cuss such topics as life and death.
Friend Putnam, judging from his works,
is of liberal turn of mind, yet tinctured
with orthodox traits to such an extent that
he can swallow the divinity of Jesus, which
he says he admits, and even goes SO far
as to accept the burning bush yarn of the
old testament wherein god spake with
Moses. Both of these are supernatural. In
other words they are not natural. We have
only Moses word for it, at least said to be
his, about the bush being on fire and his
conversation with deity. On the other hand
we have only fable and tradition to support
the claims of Jesus to divinityship. Just
a brief reflection will be enough to convince
any intelligent mind that that only is natural
which actually is and that which we are COM
PEELED to accept on faith alone, that which
cannot be demonstrated, that which is not
compatible with truths already in evidence,
and inconsistent In terms, must be relegated
to the intellectual rubbish heap. 1t Is not
natural for gods to appear in burning
bushes and talk with men. 1t is not natural
for gods to become incarnate In the form
of man and walk about the earth among
a limited few and then consign all to hell
who cannot believe it.
Commenting upon some of the bible
stories and the doctrines taught by the
modern Christian church. we can agree to
a large extent with the writer. He frankly
condemns as nastiness, much of what is
taught today in the orthodox church and
quotes Beecher approvingly on that subject.
He advances his own theories anent the
soul without any explanation of what he
means by the soul, other than calling 1t
mind. OF course we can fully appreciate
taking up new theories we must be salts
thrown away. A slave may break his
chains but if he permits new chains to be
put about him, newer in construction and of
later design, they are still chains and he
has connived at his own enslavement. This
holds true in every department of intellect
ual life thought and action. We glory in
the man or woman, who discerning ray of
light investigates, discovers and makes
known. So we can afford to walk along
with friend Putnam for a short distance
but when he seeks to fasten a new form
of superstition upon us we must part COM
pany
History knows no divine Jesus, save as
we all are divine; 1t knows no burning bush
or talkative gods. Science knows no soul.
These are the concomitants OF superstition
and 1t is the duty Of all to eradicate be-
lief in them from the human mind. Per-
haps, in little while. II he keeps at 1t
long enough, friend Putnam will get there.

Bank, of Waynetown, Indiana He was also
a good church member, prominent in its
work and propaganda. He first began to
speculate with the stock markets, winning
and losing, until he got way on the wrong
side of his ledger accounts at the bank.
In making these speculations ne had simply
failed to count the cost. In order to try
and recoup his losses, although a consistent
church member, he turned horse theft and
by disposing of the stolen animals, which
he quartered on his own farm, thinking to
avoid suspicion, he sought to replace part
of the money which he had taken from the
bank. Months Of successful operation are
charged up to him until detection came and
he was landed in a prison cell, accused by
the police OF being one of the boldest Grim
inals Of this kind In the police annals OF
the state.
Among the strangest facts brought out is
that Green was caught in indianapolis
where he was trying to sell some OF the
stolen horses. A negro coachman, in the
employ of Judge McCabe, the latter losing
some of his horses, saw Green with one OF
the horses in his possession, recognized the
horse and followed them up until he came
in with q police officer. The latter called
upon Green to halt. He ran instead. The
policeman fired at him. He stopped. For
three days he stood the ordeal of a sweat
box and insisted that his name was Ross
and that he lived at the Auditorium Hotel
in Chicago.

is always a hard one, but II Green had only

the effort to show that not only was
