with red hot iron on the forehead and
had their ears cut off.
1t is therefore within the limit of sober
truth when | saw that the tortures and
horrors of the lost souls in hell, as de-
scribed by Dante and Johnathan Edwards
are no greater than the agonies endured by
men, women and children in the flesh, while
living on this earth inflicted by the heart
less fends of superstition; the horrible
death of Jesus Christ on the cross was
merciful in the highest degree when COM
pared to the unspeakable and savage tor
lures of many millions of grand men, noble
women and innocent children who have per-
ished in the Shiny coils of the venemous
serpents and wild beasts of superstition.
1t staggers the imagination and well nigh
passes all human belief that only a little
while ago the prisons of New England at
Salem, Ipswich, Boston and Cambridge
were literally overlooking with innocent
men, women and children awaitinsH their
turn to be brutally tortured and put to
death by the most savage methods because
they had been convicted of the imaginary
crime of witchcraft; and | want every
reader of these pages to know that if it
had not been for the angel of Science and
Goddess of Reason the whole of the United
States today would be swimming Col
gotha of blood and under the absolute con-
troll of the heartless priests of superstition.
In the present age of intelligence and
science, free thought and rationalism, it
would seem that no danger need be feared
of a return of those awful superstitions, but
when we remember that there are still hun
dreds of ignorant people in the United
States who believe that God had a son by
a woman, and ANONYMOUSLY killed him, it
is only short step to belief in the hide
Gus superstition of sorcery and witchcraft,
and every goood man and every good wo-
man should labor without ceasing to extir-
pate, root and branch, this deadly Upas
tree that still exhales its poisonous effluvia
and fills the social organism with vice and
crime.
How long o how long! Will it yet be
before mankind will learn that the only
saviours of the human race are the angel
of Science and the Goddess of Reason?
How long! o how long! will it yet be be-
fore mankind will learn that the beautiful
and fragrant flower of pure religion can
never bloom in the human heart until the
wild beasts of superstition are driven from
the human brain?

on this beautiful earth.
With my feeble powers of description l
have endeavored to impress upon your
minds faint idea of the diabolical and
hellish history of superstition, but language
is utterly inadequate TO describe its infinite
horrors, and | ask every reader Of these
pages to multiply what | say thousand
fold, and even then it would he impossible
to approximate the awful tortures and mis-
cries and agonies that have been inflicted
on innocent men, women and children by
this bloody monster.
Go with me to New England, the cradle
of culture, and high type of manhood and
womanhood, and only little while ago the
stupid superstition that Sunday was Holy
day was so firmly fixed in the public mind
that a law was passed forbidding, under
heavy penalty, any mother from kissing her
darling babe on Sunday and thousands of
loving fathers and mothers literally wore
their lives away at hard labor for violating
this infamous statute passed by the priests
of superstition.
| would also have you remember that this
savage statute passed and enforced by
heartless iends would still be in full force
today all over our blessed country had it
not been for the angel of Science and the
Goddess of Reason.
Another statute passed by the devotees
of the superstition that Sunday is Holy
day forbid, under heavy penalty, any citi-
zen from walking or riding on Sunday ex-
cept to and from church. and thousands
were kept impoverished all the days of
their lives for violating this statute.
No human tongue can describe the I'M
speakable sorrows and sufferings that were
visited on good women for kissing their
babes on Sunday, and thousands of indus
trious fathers were kept in abject poverty
all the days of their miserable and wretched
lives by the payment of heavy fines for
being caught in their barn-yards and gar
dens on Sunday.
A statute p roviding heavy penalties on
every citizen for failing to attend public
worship on Sunday kept the houses of cor
rection constantly filed to overlooking, for
in default of payment of the heavy fines
imposed they were compelled to work out
their fines, and thousands of little children
were at all times exposed to the dreadful
horrors of starvation, whose fathers and
mothers had been arrested and committed
to the workhouse for nOn-attendance at
church on Sunday.
This idiotic superstition that Sunday is
Holy day still prevails in modified form,
and on this account every good man and
every good woman should treat Sunday as
holiday instead of Holyday, and in
dulge in all kinds of innocent games, sports

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

certS, theatres, museums and every species
of pleasure and recreation should be freely
INDUCED for the purpose of stamping out
and exposing the idiotic practice of wear
ing long faces and fasting in Difference to
the superstition that Sunday is a Holyday,
and that God will be angry if his children
have any pleasure on this Holyday.
Persons not familiar with the history of
superstition will be astonished to learn that
not long ago in the New England states a
statute, with heavy penalties, was enacted
forbidding any citizen to appear at the
polls and offer to vote for any candidate
for office if the voter was unconverted and
not a member in good standing in the
church, and this same statute provided for
the Acknowledgement of any citizen who
cast his ballot for an unconverted man.
Another statute provided that if any
citizen joined the Quaker church he should
be banished, and if he ever returned he
should be put to death, and many noble
men and grand women were victims of this
infamous law.
There are many evil influences in the
world that are calculated to degrade and
debase the human mind, but superstition is
the most demoralizing agency that ever
escaped from Pandora s box-it completely
destroys every noble and generous impulse,
and converts the heart into a desert waste
filled with the serpents of hate and cruelty.
Superstition enacted laws in New Eng
land forbidding under dreadful penalties
any citizen to cook meal make bed,
sweep a house, walk in a garden or in
barnyard on Sunday, and superstition en-
acted a law in New England making it a
duty of all constables and sheriffs to arrest
every one suspected of being a Quaker,
and if found guilty to be publicly whipped
with knotted thongs, after which their
tongues were to be bored through with
red-hot iron, and hundreds died in agony
while undergoing these savage tortures.
Prosecuting. defaming, torturing and as
sassinating men, women and children has
been the devilish pastime OF superstition
in all ages of the world down to this very
hour.
Superstition in New England made it the
duty by law of every policeman, and the
Whoie coHs'aouiary were requireu, W "i'cHt
every man and woman who was caught in
the act of writing letter to a friend on
Sunday, and in default of payment of ex-
cessive fines they were committed to the
workhouse
For failing to be prompt in their at
tendance at church hundreds were publicly
whipped with knotted leather thongs on
their naked bodies, and for criticising min
listers of the gospel and speaking disrespect-
