The church today is dominating the

stitions as the sacrifical mass, real
presence, sacrament, baptism, etc.,
Ind salvation by the blood of Jesus,
instead of simple love and obedience
to righteousness in spirit and truth.
The people are always falling into
superstition perverted religion-and
the bondage of capital, which is en-
conraged, by, and pIeases alike, the
Lords of Wealth and the priests and
preachers of superstition, because
their objects are one and the same. viz
to live off and enjoy a superiority
over the common people. This &C
counts for the strong sympathy be-
tween the two.
Capital, now as of old, has become
supreme by his gifts eDent 16:19), by
bribing the clergy and press into
silence concerning his wickedness and
by the same use of his money with
Judges, presidents and legislators;
they are all, with a few exceptions,
equally guilty; all being influenced by
money, the only difference being the
way in which they receive it.
We are under the bondage to the
priests, and preachers of superstition
and mammon, which must be swept
away, and a reign of pure righteous
ness inaugurated instead to liberate
the people; for as long as a man loves
money, and is superstitious, he will
not cannot reason; and priests and
preachers would rather have the peo-
pie superstitious. because they then
have unchanged domination over
them.
The minister that sympathizes with
capital instead of the poor, whose
cause Jesus espoused against Mann
mon, and superstition is covetous, a
lover Of money. and worse than the
capitalist because of his profession.
A mental conception of a God of
love, and that we should love him and
our neighbor as ourself is rational;
but ali material substitutions and
demonstrations are irrational supersti-
tons, and idoIatrous. If the
sacrifice Of animals was a super
stition and not commanded By God
tJermiah 1929; Dent 80: 1910
then the sacrifice Of Christ as an imi-
tation thereof is also superstition and
unfounded. All the present Christian

Bruna, Copernicus, Garrison, Phillips,
Lovejoy, Darwin, Thomas Paine, Ser
vetus and others. This is always
caused by the interests. Mammon and
superstitution, that are disturbed by
the Apostles of progress-truth and
emancipation. It is that that bring
upon the Revolutionists the calamity
and curses of pernicious conservatism.
There was in the past, bitter con-
tention between kings and popes for
power. At one time everything was
under the domination of the pope,
who exercised such power as to make
kings tremb1e upon their thrones by
their threat of accommodation. They
claimed to have monopoly of heaven,
and the keys thereto. OF course, these
things were all gotten up for the pur-
pose for which they we're used, and
/ their utility was based upon supersti-
tuition and ignorance. But the popes
became too powerful, and even kings
were compelled to arouse and protect
themselves. King Henry the VIII, al

Thomas A. Becker and King Henry the
End, resulting in Becker being assassi-
mated in his bishopric because of his
great obstinacy to the king.

interests and the superstitions and

A cruel tongue and jealous mind,
Void of pity and full of good,
She judges the world by her narrow

She arose like a soul that had passed
