Encouragement From Maine.

MILO, MAINE.-As to my views on
cOnglomeration, for pushing the cause of
Freethought | should be as | have been
ready to do what l can if they the different
societies will organize on a liberal broad
basis, and all members and societies be
willing to follow good leader, but l do
not think Freethinkers, who have the cOur-
age of their opinions, will be so amenlble
to discipline as the rank and file of religious
bodies of people, who follow the leaders so
plainly.
Ny own individual influence came mostly
from good books, and a good book in the
hands of the right man or woman, will often
turn them when nothing else will | would
suggest crusade in distributing good
books, not too strong at first; and then
when many had began to think in those
towns or districts where books had been
distributed let our able lecturer try his
hand in a well-ordered meeting. Much de-
ponds on the book an Agnostc OF Infidel
passes to person "on the fence" if it's
too strong, the enquirer is set back. Better
for be too weak than too strong for re-
cruit. | write from my own feeling which
| well remember and to those of my
friends, who have not fully made up their
minds to anything. On reaching a strongly
worded article l have always been careful
to notice that chill to their Unborn ideas,
which they took in, with their mothers
milk, and have held to so religiously all
their lives. hope something will be done
to drag our cause to the front rank of pub
lie notice.-W. A. COOPER.

WILMINGTON, VT.-Just received and

catch the spirit of Julia Ward HOwe's Bat

immortal Declaration of independence. May
results make the day memorable as is the
Fourth Of July. Better than flying through

Pole, better even that SIGNALLING to Mars is

Suggests Plan For Organization.

RUMFORD, MAINE. - The enclosed
copy of a platform or declaration of prin-
ciples was drafted jointly by John H.
Means, then of Dorchester, Mass, and my
self. About five years ago we met, by APP
pOintment in Boston one Sunday and
evolved what we thought would make a
set of principles that all rationalistic mind
ed men and women could abide by. We
thought it possible to organize the Ration
alists Of the country into some sort of
body that would present constructive So
ciety, and be capable of subdividing and
forming locals, and furnishing the people
a "Creed.''
As often happens to independent persons
we both experienced business changes that
made it impossible for us to continue the
work. | have not seen Mr.. Means for at
least four years, nor heard from him. I
think he did send out copies of this to
some Freethinkers, and perhaps he had it
printed. But there has never been any
organization.
| am sending-it to you thinking it may be
useful in aiding you in forming set of
resolutions for the organization YOU are
proposing to form. Organization, on the
plan proposed by Elizabeth Wiley seems to
me to be the most likely to be effective.
But the next step necessary to the preser-
walton of the liberties we now have, and
to better the condition of mankind through
the rational thought that is possessing
mems minds is organization. Organization
that will be power in social and all affairs.
The church with a handful of members,
through organization is able to terrorize
whole community, and compel support
from those who would prefer not to do so.
Organization is the strength Of the church
They organize and "convert" children and
are not above maintaining "cradle roll"
We think we violate the child's right to
think for himself if we seek to impress his
mind with our ideas before he has attained
to a reasonable age.
Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1909-10-03

If it is possible to get an organization
that will embrace all Rational thinkers it
is the great and saving monument and all
should support it.
BELIEVING THAT the faith by man,
in supernatural revelations, known by the
comprehensive term "Reveaed Religion"
seriously retards the moral and mental
growth of the human race, and promotes
unhappy conditions throughout the earth:
WE DECLARE:
l. For the utmost freedom of thought
speech and press, so long as the rights
and happiness of no man and the welfare
of the nation be not curtailed.
2. That the pursuance of the moral prin-
ciples of Truth, Mercy, Justice. Love and
Charity are the noblest aims and duties of
mankind.
3. That all the creeds and dogmas of the
various religions, by embodying as they do.
a system of future rewards for acts of
piety or virtue, inspired by fear of future
punishment or hope Of future reward, do
not develop the noblest efforts of man.
3. That the Humanitarian system of phil
OsOphy, that should replace the existing
theological systems, will teach that nature
reveals the only laws necessary to guide
mankind in the ways of wisdom and love:
and that by honest and upright devotion to
our fellow-man, and to the principles in
sections No. l and p, and by recognizing
the lessons of life, love and wisdom. taught
by the universal language of nature, we are
pursuing the best and only logical and
scientific moral life that satisfies ethics and
truth.
8. That the laws of nature are eternal
and interchangeable, and that all moral or
physical trangressiOns are punished
Z. That whether, or not, there be an
eternal benefcient force, or a future state
of individual consciousness, in no way
effects these principles.
8. That the hope and aim of The Amer
lean Brotherhood is the substitution of
Truth for Superstition; the fullest develop
ment of the virtue such as Justice, Mercy
Charity, Love and Hope; the construction
of and perpetuation of conditions necessary
to insure throughout eternity the universal
brotherhood of humankind.
9. That for these purposes we mutually
and severally pledge ourselves to do every
thing within our power; and with the
fullest appropriations of the Importance of
the objects herein stated. and the response
bllities involved, we herewith affix our
names.-MANLY A. BRIGHAM
P. S.-Jointly prepared by John H.
Means, and Manly A. Brigham.

HITS anew RELIGION"
No Improvement on Paganism Says
Former New York Rector

Milford. N. H., Aug. 4.-The Rev.
DR.. ]. NJ White, rector of the First
Episcopal church here and former rec
tor of the Fifth Avenue Episcopal
church of New York in an address on
Real Christianity" recently discussed
a recent statement by President FL
lot He said in part:
zone trouble with President Eliots
new religion is that it is not new.
He perhaps means 20 be honest in
speaking of his theories as to a new
religion; but the fact is, his version
is hoary with age.
TT may look attractive and sound
well, but it is no improvement what
ever on the paganism of olden days.
Anyone with a sense of humor can see
where the joke comes in when mum
my of ancient days is dressed up to
look like a modern fashion plate.
"Dr. Eliot's new religion is like his
six foot library void of religion and
breadth. 1t is rank with the odor of
unadulterated materialism. It's phil
osophy is such that one wonders how
a man of DR.. Eliot's scholarship could
give utterance to such a bundle of in
constituencies.
with a certain show of force the
president emeritus sets out with the
statement that this new religion is to
discard all authority, and yet we are
later told that this new old religion
leans upon the authority of st. Paul
for its every foundation.
THE real trouble, however, with
tnis new religion, lies in its want OF
breadth-it is too narrow. 1t sacriii-
ces the conception of eternity for the
sake OF time. 1t offers nothing sweet
and sacred for the individual soul.
1T is a cold, hard doctrine and can
never be confused in reality with the
broad, gentle gospel of the Master,
whose sermon on the mount must
ever be a fatal rebuke to such narrow
material cults as Elotisms. Eddyisms,
and other crude-isms.'
