"THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS"
CA Review

Every new truth fight its way against orthodoxy.
The Christian world does not desire TRUTH it seeks simply
an advocacy Desire leads deuson. The vast majority
of protesting Christians still prefer to believe lie rather
than to make an alliance with truth.
In his recent work. "The Truth About Jesus, Nj. Man
gasarian of the Independent Society," of Chicago
has given all that be gven all that is to be given of
the supposed central figure of the Christian form of faith
and careful perusa of its interesting is well cacu
lated to unsete all belief in the historcy of the mythical
Jesus of the gospels Every scrap of evidence is carefully
considered Even the gospel stories subjected to rigid
and critical examination. Profane writers of contempt
rary character brought to the 'front.' and the profound
silence of the centuries, dark the Egyptian night is
made the subject of much forcefu comment
That the gospel Jesus not actual historical person
is readily admitted by every careful student of history
The impossblity of the existence of such character de-
handing fable and fairy tales to support it, is thoroughly
gone into by Mr. Mangasarian and he has omitted nothing
that is calculated throw light the subject under in
vesgaton With it all he demonstrates the unreality of
Christianity and gives consensus of intelligent opinion
concerning the In the light thus afforded, Mr. Man
gasaran concludes that Jesus myth and had no real
existence To support this view he makes reference to the
legends entertained by the surrounding religious cults from
which the builders of the Jesus faith obtained their material
The narrative of the book is admirably constructed 1t
is full of interest from the first page to the last large
number of illustrations given to demonstrate the diff
ferent conceptions of the mangod myth 1t consists of 800
pages printed in good readable type and good quality
of paper.

it richly deserves 1t is published by the Inpendent Re

whatever it manfests ITSELF an evidence OF human
weakness and ignorant despair
All religions burgeoned and boomed in the primary
emotion of savage ignorance nourished by the human feel
ing of dependence and poweresnes to resist evil and all
modern religious systems made to conform to the same
elements.
1t is noteworthy fact that all savage peoples
or less religious. Atheism is to be found among the cu
lred and enlightened only The intensely religious
periods the great worlds history the most notorious
ly british and corrupt In the of and under sane
ton by religion the most degrading crimes have been COM
mitted Religion, born of savages propagated by savage
for the benefit of savage is fit only for savages and
number of those still kneeng at its shrine are but slightly
superior in sentiment and feeling to savage.
Religion is admittedly, fact in our human nature, for
its banefu influences at work on every hand But 1t
was and is necessary fact The would have
been infinitely better off today had religion never been
known 1t hardened narrowed and dwarfed the heart and
sympathy of man. and arighted the minds of women
and children All the figures the debit side of re-
gons with the race with but few scattering
cphers its credit Man may study its pages with profit
1t will point him, through experience, the partcu
lar matters and things he should studous avoid Not by
emulation but by refusing follow the examples it has
set.
Religion does not it, mean the same thing to
all men, evidenced by the great variety of socaed
gous conceptions and practices fact pointing to the
inevitable conclusion that it is not Were religion true
there could be such wide dvergences of opinion con
corning its meaning and assumed importance nor would
men have tortured each under its influences with such enj
sh atrocity.
While religion may furnish mistaken mental stmuant
ignorance is noteworthy fact that atheism is always
and everywhere recognized correave of education 1t
demands education for courage sufficient deny and ques
ton the miraculous, supernatural. ignorance is IN
capable of rising eminent stage And yet, religion
was never active and aggressive than it is in
America Having failed to command intelligent appro

force.
There are many who insist that in this day religion is

efforts among the several State legislatures, and in the

AMERICA HOLDS HUnAN
LIFE TOO CHEAP


Nest Careless and Undiscllpfned, Says
Southern Newspaper.
The American people are the most
lawless and undisciplined Of the hu-
man race under the established condi-
tions Of civilization and education.
This fact Is made apparent by the
cheapness Of human life In this coun-
try. not only as seen in the extraor-
dinary number of criminal homicides,
for which there is seldome any ade-
quate punishment, II any at all, visit
ed on the slayers, but is quite n
much demonstrated In the enormous
destruction Of human life in what are
called accidents.
Every day persons are run down
and killed or wounded in the streets
Of our town and cities by some sort
of vehicle. Every death SO caused
goes by the name Of accident, and the
only penalty that can be visited ON
or perhaps a grief term of imprison-
ment for violating a municipal law
against fast driving. The killing Of
human beings is left out of the case.
for that is mere accident
More people are beiug killed every
year in the United States during
times Of peace than in the bloodiest
battles of history. America. Is the
worlds slaughterhouse for human be-
ings. It IL the price America pays
for her civilization.
Which means that each and every
year the United States yields up the
lives Of $1,000 Of its citizens in pay
ment for its civilization. f.
Take the case Of the great trans
portation corporations. which employ
vast numbers Of persons who are en-
gagged In the operation Of railway
trains or Of street cars. The con-
ductors, engineers, motormen. car
starters, signal men and the like are
furnished with schedules by which
their movements are governed. Wen.
an accident happens because ths
schedule was not adhered to and .
lot Of people are killed and maimed.
OF course there is an investigated.
but the law finds nobody On which
to lay IT'S hands. but there was . vio-
lation Of the schedule which u traced
to somebody.
That somebody may be . person
wWho has figured already in some
other such disastrous oceurancs.
The managers, reahzing that they
have an unreliable person In q posi-
tion Of great importance, attempt to
displaee him or discharge him from
their service In most cases, II not
all. this proposal 10 met by q protest
from the organization to which the
person belongs, and the intended DIS
missal does not occur.
Thus have grown up; In every de-
