DEMPSEY STILL
VOTING NAY

The same old discussion arose when
the minutes of City Council were Of
fered for adoption at the regular meet
ing of that body last night. Mr..
Dempsey, of the First ward, who con-
tends that B. b. Allen was regularly
seated as a member of Council from
the Second ward, called for the aye
and nay vote.
President Banning called for a sec
ond to the request.
Mr.. Dempsey contended that a sec
ond was necessary only on a call for
an aye and nay vote on a motion,
and not on a request from a member.
President Banning directed Clerk
McGovern to read rule No. Is, which
provides that two members must call
for an aye and nay.
Mr.. Banning informed Mr.. Dempsey
that his vote could be recorded on the
minutes if he so desired. but Mr.. Kane
stopped further argument by second
ing Mr.. Dempsey's request.
The vote on the adoption of the min-
utes resulted in a vote of II ayes and
] nay.

The cooling beverages prepared on sum-
mer days leave the housekeeper with a
large quantity Of orange and lemon skins
on her hands. A few Of these are grated
for navorng puddings and custards. but
the greater portion arc usually thrown
away. The rinds of oranges or lemons
make such delicious preserves for immedl
ate consumption or for bottling that it is
a pity to consign them ruthlessly to the
garbage pail as is usually done.
After the lemonade has been made.
gather up the lemon skins and drop them
into jar or crock Of brine. This will keep
them intact until large quantity has
accumulated. When there is enough in the
crock to pay for the trouble, wash them
thoroughly. or better stlli, soak in plenty
Of fresh water until the salt is removed.

Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1909-07-18
(By j. C. Watkins.)

The primary objects of freethought
propaganda are TO encourage independent
thinking, to insist upon the right of express
sion and to seek and promulgate the truth.
In pursuing these objects it is found neces-
sary to be somewhat iconoclastic and to
show that many of the things popularity
believed by the people are erroneous, super
stitious and mythical.
The minds of people must first be cleared
of the mists and fOgs of error and super
stition before they are in condition for the
reception of true knowledge. Among what
we believe to be erroneous notions that are
held by many people are the inspiration,
infallibility and truth of the bible; the So
called plan of salvation; the divinity of
Jesus of Nazareth; the idea of heaven
and hell as taught by the church, and in
reference to the existence of a personal
god. We claim that these teachings of the
ology and the church are not well sup
ported by evidences that appeal to intelli-
gent reason.
1t has been pointed out time and again
that the bible which is offered as authority
for these beliefs is either not understood
~ is not trustworthy in all respects
1t (the bible) is evidently human pro-
iuction, so that it does not tell us any
nore about things that are outside the pale
of human knowledge than can intelligent
men who are living now.
The so-called plan of salvation does not
commend itself to the intelligence of this
age because it makes salvation depend upon
faith, belief, or trust rather than upon
merit, and earnest endeavor. Like arts
tocracy it depends upon the accidents of
birth and environment rather than charac-
ter and conduct. 1t is true they say "sal-
walton is free" "only believe" and you
shall be saved, but it depends upon ones
ability to believe or to exercise faith, which
is a gift of god, that is upon an ability we
may not have and upon the possession of
something we do not possess and can not
get until it is given to us. If we have not
faith and the ability to believe what is
necessary to salvation whose fault is it? IF
the faith or belief required were in some
thing tangible and reasonable then we
Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1909-07-18

might be censurable for not believing-but
this is not the case. We are asked and
expected to believe contrary to the evil
dences of our natural senses and to our own
experiences.
Jesus of Nazareth, admitting that he
lived at the time it is claimed that he did,
and that he said and did some of the things
recorded in the gospels, was a human being,
probably good-meaning, earnest man, one
who had the courage of his convictions, and
who died a martyr in defence of what he
believed to be true. AS such he is entitled
to the admiration, love and respect OF
everyone, and if he were living on earth
today freethinkers would be among his best
friends.
As regards the existence of personal
deity, the Immortality of the soul, and of
future rewards and punishments, no one
can speak with authority These ideas
cannot be proven nor absolutely disproven,
therefore it cannot be so very wrong for
people to say they do not believe them. If
they do not and cannot believe them, of
course we may speculate and theorize about
these questions all we like, but we must
not assume that because we believe things
they are necessarily true.
1t is by this specializing and theorizing
about the unknown that truth is discovered
Most that we know now about the universe,
nature, natural law, and about man has
been learned by research and investigation,
thought and human experience. We must
expect that most of the knowledge that we
shall continue to acquire will come in the
same way.
1t is science and not revelation that
will solve the riddle of the universe and
discover what that something we call god
is and what the destiny of the human race
is to be.
