CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.

Washington, Feb. IA report
was made to the senate from the
committee on appropriations on the
presidents statements concerning the
attitude of congress toward the appro-
priations for the support of the secret
service. Mr.. Hemenway who presen
ed this report, added that the presi-
dent was not justified in making the
statement contained in his message
to congress. The senate passed the
joint resolution declaring February
II this year to be special legal holi-
day in the District of Columbia and
territories in honor of the centenary of
the birth of Lincoln. A bill was
passed repeating the increase in sal
airy of the secretary of state from S.
900 to $4,000 so as to permit Senator
Knox to accept the appointment as
secretary of state. Senator McLaurin
made a speech in opposition to the
passage of any bill for the reinstate-
| ment of the negro soldiers of the
| twenty-fifth regiment, accused of hav-
| ing "shot up" Brownsville. The agri-
cultural appropriation bill passed the
| house practically as it came from the
committee. A successful fight, led by
Mr.. Sabbath of Illinois, was made
against the bill amending the natur-
alization laws which, among other
things, increased the naturalization
fee from IS to $40. BY an emphatic
vote, the conference report on the
measure was rejected and the bill
laid upon the table.

When we read the biography of this
great teacher, We can but think how closely
the biblical story of Christ follows in the
wake of the legends ascribed to the prophet
of Iran
Yet how loath Christians are to see or
concede that which is so apparently true.

ours was borrowed in all its parts from the

hood
few words as to the borrowing Of
Christianity from paganism and this article
must close
II will be remembered that in primitive
Christianity the sect was divided into three
parts: The East with its center at An
tioch; the South with its center at Alexan-
dria: the West with its center at Rome.
Each was presided over by its own Bishops
At that time an extensive caravan trade
was carried on between India Persia Asia
Minor and Alexandria. In this way. and
through the Roman armies. the numerous
people were in almost daily communication

religions of the world, past and present.
In time, with them all, these attributes
seeming inconsistent with one and The
same god, were separated, when a persona.
devil was made to represen; the evil at
tribute. This separation gave 20 the
religious world a god of only good attributes
and devil with only the bad ones. That,
of course, put these two beings in hostile
attire since which they have leen battling
for the possession of souls. In the end the
good is to overcome the evil, when ali will
be merged in one good or god who vii; be
all in all While this is the Christian
theory tcday, it is none other han the old
pagan plan
The Rig-Veda calls the deus primus,
Asura, when, in later writings, The CORE
spending word is used to represent the sun,
the supreme god, it is As'lra Mazda. The
word, Mazda, like the corresponding word,
Christ was with the Zorcaslriaus as with
re carly Christians. used rs an ADJECTIVE
$ enifyng good, l. .. piety. Thus Asura
once repres nted the aigher attributes,
deva. the lower, Ct the samo divinity. Oit
these attributes arose the legend Of the
rebellion CT the deva, who Was cast out of
heaven. and thus became the faitm angel,
the Beelzebub, or devil of the bible.
Thus. it will be SEEN, that out of the two
attributes, good and evil of the Magian re-
l'gion. arose our biblical god and devil.
Therefore say the authorities Ormuzd,
conioined with himself, represents a plural
ity of genii. personiacation of ethical ideas,
all that is good The son Of Ormuzd is
represented as a personality attached to
his father, and, like Christ, represents his
father in heaven When the two spirits,
Aura and Deva, come in collision, they are
made to represent the conflict of good and
evil-day and night at war. The world
divides itself into that. which is Asuras,
and that which is Armans. or as we have
these attributes personified in our bible,
those who are the children of GOD and those
who are the children of the devil.
In both the Zoroastrian and Christian
systems the war is carried on between the
gods and devils for the possession of souls.
The revelations given by Ormuzd to
Zoroaster declare that Ormuzd created man
a free agent, to choose between good and
evil, or in the language of the Yasna:
'Since thou, o Mazda, did create man as
the gods, leaving him free to choose good or
evil, TO lie or speak the truth, to obey thy
word, knowing good from evil, Armaiti
watches thy doings" BY true confession
Of faith, by good deeds, keeping free his
body and soul, he defeats the powers of Sa
tan, strengthens goodness, and thereby es-
tablishes his claim on Ormuz1 for reward
Christianity differs from Magianism only In

Magianism, before said were familiar
household things; they constituted a mass
of floating concepts, allegores, legends
and fairy tales, which were inhaled by the
religious elements of the Roman Empire
Every one had his mouth filled with them,
which were readily adopted and applied to
budding Christianity, where they produced
the first Christian fruit |. @. Christianity,
as new tree, commenced to produce pagan
fruit; it followed the law of the bud, not
the sap of the roots; it was Christianity on
pagan roots So far this existed only in
oral word of mouth. In time this oral ira
dition, not however, until some time in the
second century, found scribes who COM
menced to reduce it to writing. These writ.
ings, and even the oral traditions become
known as gospels-glad tidings The oral
tradition of course not being traceable to
any reliable source, when reduced to writing
was not in a condition to be ascribed to
any one: so all these written gospels ap.
peared without time, place or name at
tached
Many of these numerous writings finally
found their way into the repositories of
Antioch, Alexandria and Rome, where they
became known as Records of the East
South and West These are the gospels so
often referred TO by some of the Church
Fathers and late writer's as having their
origin in the apostolic age. The more eau
tious of these writer's only say they had
their roots in that age. meaning oral trad
ton. Let 1t here be said If any such ira

our time The so-called gospel writings
which came out of these repositories, cannot
be traced back of the middle Of the second
century. for not a scrap Of Christian writ
ing earlier than the middle OF the second
century has come down to our time. The
terrible struggle Of the clergy to trace our
four gospels back to the apostolic age is
to give credit to them. Otherwise they are
nonhistorical-no evidence Of the things
therein recited And this is the view taken
of them by the Higher Criticism. where all
are pronounced spurious.

In order to stop the raging conf1ct and

FOR A CHANGE OF VENUE.

Judge G. w. Vermilion is besieged
with petitions, affidavi.s and deposit
tios containing various reasons for
and against the bringing of John Jun
kin, the self-confessed negro murderer
Of Clara Rosen to this city for arraign-
ment and trial. Judge ]. c. Mitchell,
mastering every conceivable argument
against this move on the part of the
court, has set before the Judge a pc
tition in which is incorporated in de-
tail the actions of the various citizens
in each of the towns the negro has
been taken, and particular stress is
laid upon the general prejudice Of OF
tumwa residents. To substantiate the
assertions in the plea for change of
venue, the affidavits and depositions
of Sheriff w. w. Jackson, Chief Peter
Gallagher, John w. Gray, T. H. Pick
Ter and H. G. Williams are also before
the Judge.
