That is the line of reasoning adopted by
the Roman church, and every year we see
more and more of the miraculous-the life
long paralytic cured at the holy well-leav
ing all the other paralytics uncured: the
pewter medal, the cotton cord which has been
"blessed," the crucifx, the charm, the
statuette, and all the rest of the medieval
jackassery which it was hoped would never
come back.
Instead of reverence and understanding
for the Laeos Of Nature the effort is being
made to establish again the SuperStiti0ns
about the Supernatural.
True worship of God does not require us
to believe in hob-goblins, mermaids, weir
wolves, banshees, ghosts, apparitions, speak
ing statues, and miraculous bones.
The constant appeal to the Supernatural is
the priests method of teaching Superstition,
and of increasing his own influence over the
Ignorant.

heve that drink of Indiana water cured her

New York; ponderous volume, entitled
"Chronicles of the House of Borgia,'' and its
author is Frederick Baron Corvo, a devout
Roman Catholic.
On page 300, Baron Corvo relates the we'll
attested story of the marble figure which
spoke to the Duke of Gambia, and told him
that his wife was about to die.
The Baron gives the conversation between
the marble figure and the Duke, and ex-
presses his own implicit faith in the miracle,
saying that "He who made the ass of BALKAN
speak, could also make statue speak"

ME- fatter ourselves that the human race is
~ improving, going forward, getting bet
ter. It isn't so.
ALI around us are the signs of backward
movement, morally, mentally, spiritually
Education is mechanical process not
development of the individuality of the child.
The automobile, the Soft drink the road
house, the promiscuous mixing of young
women with young men, and the suggestive
dresses which cause boys to stand on street
corners and watch the sheath gowns 90 by,
have lowered the moral tone Of the whole
country.
Dance halls, Bathing beaches, National
Expositions, State Fairs, and Street Car
nivals have contributed hugely to the
same general result, and so have the "sex-
stories in magazines, the indecent pictures in
Sunday supplements, and the obscene cards
that circulate on the sly.
Of course, the Roman Catholic confessional
ruins more women than any other one agency,
for the simple reason that no girl and no
married woman is safe, after the priest has
covered her with the filth and the pollution
of the questions he is required to ask her.
But if any citizen ventures to warn people
against the cess pool, and to indicate the vile
ness of the priests conduct in the confessional,
the Pope's foreign church, and endeavors to
help the priests keep their hideous secrets un-
covered.
In other words, if the Roman priests use
practices and language so utterly obscene that
they cannot be decently described, the Gov
eminent will protect the criminals by prose-
cutting the accusers.
In this manner, the foulest crimes become
the safest.
IF you cannot define Sodomy, you cannot
punish it.
IF you are forbidden to describe bestiality,
then bestiality becomes safe.
If you cannot tell what-it. is that the priests
do and say to women, then the priests are
safe in doing and saying anything foa%
So, we have educational institutions
operated like shingle-mills, canneries, and
brick -Izilns: and the shingles are apt to be
all alike, the cans of the same size, and the
bricks of the same shape. Mentally, the
children are duplicates of each other.
That isn't education. That's examining,
stufing, not leading forth ochat's IN the mind.
Morally, there is letting down, a slack
ness, an indifference, visible to all.
Spiritually, there are two opposing cur
rents, one setting in the direction of Doubt,
Disbelief, Agnosticism: the other tries to
drag mankind back to the Dark Ages, and
re-enthrone the church in control of the court
and the camp, the judge and the law maker,
the pen and the tongue, the school-house and
the dwelling.
REASONING FROM BALAAM'S ASS.
In the year 1901, there came from the
presses of T., p. DuttOn & Co. (IondOn and
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-07-20

of paralysis, or that medal worn on the
bosom cured a cancer, Reason has fled and
mental night has set in.
IL ma jority of our people could be thus
ensaved by designing priests, we should be
swiftly transformed backward to the good
old times, when lay education complete
if boy and girl were taught the Roman
Catechism, and how to chant hymn to the
Virgin Mary.
At White Oak Camp ground, once heard
a powerful sermon about the Judgment sent
on the farmers, because they had been slack
on gifts to the church.
It was bad crop year-and the Lord was
showing his displeasure by holding back the
rain. Merchants were exempt, it seems)
DR., Lovejoy preached the sermon, and it
was so impressive that Sim Booker led off in
the "free-will offerings" by giving bale Of
cotton.
While nothing was said about Judgment
sent on the lawyers, | thought it best to be
the safe side-and not knowing what
might happen-I ponied up, myself.
Cardinal Gibbons rel oiced, in a truly
Christian manner, when the river Seine rose
and overfiowed the City of Paris, some years
ago. The lovable old Jesuit declared that
the flood was judgment, sent by God, to
punish the French for their separation of the
Church from the State
But when the Mississippi rose last year, and
wiped out quite few Roman Catholic
churches, Houses Of the Good Shepherd, &C.,
it was not judgments it was merely plain
case of too much water.
FOREIGN SUPERSTITIONS COMING
IN.
Absurd cults of St. Rita St. Anthony, St.
Francis st. Joseph, the Blessed Virgin, the
Sacred Heart, the Blessed String, the Blessed
land; and no one In Congress dares to pro-
cheats and s2O5ndIerS
The mails were closed to lotteries, and they
are closed to "obscenity," and it is proposed to
close them to liquor literature; but the frauds
which the priests practise on their infatuated
dupes-who have been taught to believe in
supernatural interference with natural law
are never questioned.
So shameless is this system of cheating and
swindling, that even a hereto like me can get
a string, or a medal, or a statuette, with the
written assurance that it has been "bIessed"
for my especial benefit.
