Christian Defamers Of Paine Exposed

That eventful Sunday when the expose
was made, is one never to be forgotten.
Mr. j. C. Harmon was also present. l
had selected him as my support and Rev.
Clausen selected another preacher Clausen
brought in a manuscript weighing at least
five pounds in preparation to refute a lee
ture which had not yet been delivered.
We had a crowded house. Mr.. Harmon af-
forwards wrote: cit was pitiful to see the
look on Causen s face when Elliott flashed
out the picture which had been enlarged
to 16x20, and asked him if this was the
house referred to by him on a previous
occasion And as he could not deny it in
the presence of the same people, he ad-
mitted his mistake publicly"
1t is fitting that in this, the centennial
year of Paine, some reference be made to
this subject. Future generations will thus
be kept informed. Later, | will give a full
account of the Paine dinner at Thetford,
England, where Paine was born, presided
over by the Mayor of that city. After that
| will review j. w. Jarvis work in defense
Of Paine.

pernicious influence of Tom Paine's work

bones were stolen from their grave to

unmarked on the farm where he was bur-

We are more than pleased over the fair
prospects of a liberal organization some
time in the near future. We are also
pleased to witness the intellectual progress
of the Goth century. The fact that the
people are Just on the brink of throwing
off the old shackes of religious tyranny
And organizing on a more humane and
liberal foundation, goes to show, that they
are just getting educated up to the point
where they can begin to understand that
statement of Ingersoll, where he says:
ooh, Liberty, thou art the God of my
Idolatry." No Bonded knees are required
at thy throne, and no sacrifice of innocent
blood is needed before we can enter thy
portals Liberty is what the people need,
but they have become so accustomed to
life of religious slavery that it is difficult
to make them understand just what they
do want. But the harvest is just about
ripe, two thousand years is long enough to
mature one crop. We will now gather it
in, plough the ground and start a new crop
with Freethought. Liberty and the better
ment of mankind as the seeds sOwn to
begin with. Don't you think that ought
to produce a pretty fair crop, "We think

Testimony of the Camera Brought Before

Societies.)

Societies.
From time immemoral it has ever been
the aim of Christian believers to misrepre-
sent, Islander and abuse the world s bright
est and best, if the latter, by sign, word
or deed contributed aught to weaken and
impair the senseless and futile superstition
in which those Christians believed. No
man. who was born, lived and worked and
died within the last two centuries, has been
more slandered and misrepresented than
has Thomas Paine. The Christians SLAM
dered him living, and now that he is dead
they SANDER his memory.
For the past one hundred years the de-
Gal. EIGHT-BLADE theaVs khFhRdzd
Tenders of Thomas Paine have been kept
busy answering Christian aspersions upon
his personal character and denying the nu-
merous falsehoods concerning his works
that have been thrown broadcast in the re-
lgious papers and magazines. There is
one particular incident in point, to which
attention is here invited. 1t is concerned
with the house known as No. SO Grove ST.,
New York City, built and now standing
upon the precise spot upon which once stood
small frame cottage III NHlcH IHoHudS
Paine breathed his last, June 8, 1909 1t
was in this very house that John Wesley
Jarvis, who was Paine personal friend
and biographer, took the death mask which
is now in the Historical Society Of New
York City, and will be given in these col
umns later
This description Of the house is as nee
essary as the accompanying illustration in
order to give ocular demonstration of
genuine Christian lie which passed current
as genuine truth in certain religious period
icals about a quarter of a century ago and
repeated more or less since that time by
preachers who would not take the trouble
to investigate and did not know the facts.
This lie still finds advocates among certain
rural preachers and believers among their
supplemented congregations. Advertising
himself as an "Infde Annihiator," some
years ago, one Rev. Charles Clausen, ID. d.,
of New York, and professor in some divin-
ity school, re-echoed this miserable, out
grown fable, namely: That upon the site
of the house where Tom Paine, the noted
Inide, died in New York City, where "I''
