Speech Delivered by DR.. F. 1ska at The
Meeting of the Free Congregation in
Czecks- English School, Chicago,
ILL., Spoken in Geek.

The great poet and philosopher, Goethe,
writes in his autobiography of horrors of
the earthquake in Lisbon in 1855. He was
only seven years old. In school he had
been taught about the god who rules the
world and without whose will nothing hap
pens. He learned about the attributes of
God, his omni potence, which is such that
he only thinks and it happens; his good
ness that knows no limit his great wisdom
that cannot be mistaken, neither can it be
deceived his righteousness that reward the
good and Furnishes the bad. At that time
when his childish Imagination was wholly
occupied with that power and goodness
people spoke in his presence Of the horrors
of the earthquake in which 10000 human
beings persisted in a minute.
"God, creator and ruler of heavens and
EARTH which the first dogma described to
me as so wise and kind, had not proved to
be good father, when he gave honest and
dishonest to like destruction. Ny child
mind could not comprehend and settle
that" says Goethe.
More than one hundred and fifty years
have passed, and frequently there has been
the same or similar destruction of lives;
honest and dishonest.
Now again just at Christmas time, when
the churches and homes of the most re-
hgious inhabitants of Southern Italy and
Sicily hummed with ejoicing-christ the
Lord was born: be glad, rejoice. AT night
On the Sunday after Christmas, which
arge majority of the inhabitants spent in
prayer, that country over which God wise
ly rules shakes so that houses fall and
bury in their ruins hundreds of thousands
of honest and dishonest. among them inno-
cent children. who just at the hour before
they went to bed. in their gratitude spe-
cially prayed to Jesus and recommend
themselves to the protection of Gods
angels.
The ruler Of heaven and earth is ON
Nicient, religion teaches He then knew
what will happen. He is omnipotent. His
will alone, or single action. would have
been sufficient to avert all these horrors
which he knew Of ahead; but he remained
inactive. And when the disaster already
Incurred he was not moved by the lamenta-
ION, wailing, and groans of the injured

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
God, Man and the Earthquake

dying in a horrible torture. He certainly
must have heard cries for help of those
pious and honest victims. He hears them,
but what does he do? Nothing
He allows the sea to raise, and with its
waves flood the ruined cities and colony;
ruins everything what yet alive remained;
where the waves could not reach, there he
gives free field to fire, in which flames are
the dying father, mother, son, daughter
and babe-in horrible torture. Idly he
looks at it ruler of heavens and earth, yet,
he is in the way of man who hurries to
help With his will-without god S a hair
will not come off man s head. All connec-
tions are broken with the unfortunate col,
ony-railroad tracks torn up and waves of
ocean oppose access to harbors. Only for
those hymns in human form he makes
it someway possible so they could be first
on spot and in their greediness for gold
could cut fingers and ears off the dead and
yet even of the living. With his will they
give the finishing blow and plumber. c'And
God knew that it was good" Genesis
1:10)
Man has heart. He subdues instinct of
self-consciousness and with spirit of a
hero, multitudes hurry to help. They do
not mind that every second new concus-
sions of earth may follow and prepare
them grave after horrible death. Even
a world s ruler, of course one whose blood
is not yet poisoned of a heroic liberator
of a nation from gods deputy, he hurries
with his Slavonic wife so he could stop and
lessen horrors that are done with his will
ruler of heaven.
Work of rescue is in full force, everyone
without difference of nationality and re-
ligion-Russian, Frenchman, Englishman,
schsmatic, hereto, Catholic, unbeliever,
man and woman-everyone strains to a
superhuman strength and only god pro-
ceeds in his awful deed; he wants to and
are falling. even part Of those heroes. and
he sends a new cross. Who he loves he
visits him with cross-he sends hunger,
insanity, sickness and perhaps already pes
thence, that will certainly come if church
fanaticism will win, that opposes the burn
ing dead bodies, which are sown in a whole
vicinity.
People under Rome s fanaticism in their
spiritual duness, stand in opposition to the
most necessary protective means and looks
for protection to st. Agathy. patroness of
earthquake, and expects help from holy
banners and the most holy hosts they

or nun came out unframed and that a GER
tain chalice with hosts did not burn. That
thousands of innocent children persisted
and also hundreds of clergy, and that num-
bers of churches tumbled, and hundreds of
holy statues are ruined, that thousands of
holy hosts, life sons of god, either burned
or floated as food to sea, monsters that will
be forgotten They will look for miracles,
and they will find them and belief among
people uneducated will yet be strengthened
and there are many of them in Italy and
Sicily, and as soon as the survivors will
come to themselves a little their first
solicitude will be to order and pay for holy
masses to liberate unfortunate victims of
earthquake from purgatory. Holy father
already ordered mourning masses to be
read for that purpose, in the meantime per-
haps without pay; but soon paid orders
will gather in; and everything at last will
come out well for church and god, who,
what he doeth, he doeth well.
The uneducated among the religious will
even not think, but will pray further on
the half educated among church members
will be satisfied with that god s ways are
unknown, and educated people, as far as
they wish to believe, will say that earth
quake is a phenomenon of nature; with
which god has nothing to do and immedi
atey they will praise "almighty" ON
nipotent god, wise ruler of heaven and
earth. This is the logic of those who wish
to believe. In proportion there will be
only few of those, who, like seven-year-old
Goethe, will acknowledge impossiblity of
Pal =,
and they cannot doubt the fact of this
horrible catastrophe they will begin to
doubt about the omnipotent ruler of
heavens and earth.
| know ahead that my language will be
condemned as basphemy. but | also know
if there be god he will certainly give me
ma heaven for this, that | deny that he is
omnipotent and could prevent those horrors
if he wanted to. Not the one who says,
There is no god" is disappearing, but the
one who breaches and believes that every
thing is the work and will of god, including
these awful horrors at the description of
which the blood runs cold that one is
disappearing. He is disappearing man to
whom he gives such a god as an example.
Far more human and god-like is man as
it was proved in this horrible event. Hero,
ism of those, who on the ground of horror
. risk their lives, the humanity of those, who
are trying with their gifts to lessen the
effects of the disaster-tears of the poor,
who has nothing himself to give but
sympathy; those are cheerful revelations,
that offer contrast from the bloody luster
Of supposed gods deed.
In love and charity man eXceIs Your god.
