been driven out.
Only the children now fear the ghosts
that every man once feared.
Only those sunken in superstition and
brutality fear God that creates man
and then burns him alive eternallv for
some trivial offense.
The lowest and most brutal of fears
torment us no longer.
BUT STILL AS A RACE HUMAN
BEINGS FEAR DEATH
Of that fear they must be rid before
they can have the right to call them
selves men.
When man shall have cast aside all
Tear OF death he will have rid himself
OF his heavy burden of superstition and
fear-and mankind already is on the
way to real freedom.
We see the fear of death and the be.
lief in ghost stories vanishing.
Men of power and intelligence leaving
the earth give their property to other
men, to education, to good work. They
no longer spend their money in mean,
ignorant, selfish, superstitious effort to
bride Divine Omnipotence and secure
special salvation for their own souls
Inc great men of all ages have died
without fear, and worked and lived
without fear. And fearlessness in life
and in the face of death will before
many centuries shall have passed belong
to every man.
Life is a days work, long or short
And death is the sleep that comes at the
end Of the day.
Why should men fear that which
awaits EVERY MAN?
Man enters the world in pain and in.

lie leaves the world and inflicts suf-
terlng and sorrow upon his children.
Whether he is to come back and work
here, or 60 to some abode of reward or
punishment, or go out into nothingness
like candle eXtinguished, he does not
know
But why should he FEAR? Let him
HOPE what he will, and BELIEVE
what he will. If he can believe that an
imperfect, half savage man is to be
translated literally and bodily and pre-
served in bliss forever with all his i'm
PROJECTIONS, let him believe that and be
happy.
And if he is able to believe that his
happiness will be increased by looking
down upon the suffering, the writhing.
burning and torturing of the wicked.
let him by all means be happy in that
belief-it goes with his mental state.
But the man who is really man
should neither fear death nor concoct q
fairy story in the effort to persuade
himself that he is to be particularly
blessed.
All that we actually known about
death is THAT 1T IS REST.
We see body full of life, heat and
energy, directed by moving conscious
power that we call spirit, thought or
soul.
We know that the body which our
eye sees is absolutely indestructible.
Matter and force cannot be destroyed.
Nothing in the body of any man can
possibly be destroyed.
Fire, water, time and worms NAV
transform it, but they cannot DESTROY
it.

and moves that body, we ACTUALLY
