Dear Sir. let me speak to you
AS your letter,informs me that I
should discontinue sending you
the CREsSET. Those few lines is
not only tC you, but to you and
your Church of Humanity. The
paper called THE Truth About
God and Life" published month
ly. Which is said to contain the
late discoveries of W.. H. Kerr
stating that the universe
contains no real God-No real
Christ-.And tnat death is the
end of every man. And that man
contains no soul. And all that is
taught from the stand point of a
God of the universe is mystical.
We shall quote from one OF the
numbers, those few lines.
This Littln Educator is dis
tributed by the Church of
Humanity to introduce to all
people Kerr's Great Discoveries
in Nature that the Universe
contains no real God. that man
contains no Soul. and that Life
is ended forever in each person
at death-tbat all God S Saviors.
Souls. Saints. Devils, Spirits,
Angels, Heavens, He'll, Purgatc,
ry, Etc. are purely Mythical,
having no real existence what
even in Nature. This Church has
over 300 enrolled members in
the United States and is duly
Organized and Incorporated to
each these Discoveries"
We,must say right here, that
in our. estimation if ever there
was disgraceful belief and
teaching in those United States
or else where it ceartainIy must
be in the teachings of the New
discoveries w. H. Kerr. 1t is
said in your paper that there is
several hundreds belonging tc
your Church of Humanity duly
organized. Now Mr., Kerr We
challenge you and al! youl
colleague if there is ter

the question that there is DO Coz

Discoveries OF the same.

Forming for Struggle.

New York, Feb. Tt is evident
from countless evidences that the day
for the tremendous operations on the
war front is drawing near.
For weeks it has been konwn to be
the plan of the Allies to make the
greatest offensive movement OF the
war in the spring, while the Teutons
have been aiming to force the issue
before the Allies could complete their
plans. 1t has been expected that the
Allies would be fully prepared and at
their greatest strength by April !. but
the beginning of offensive operations
by the Teutons on the west front and
against Saloniki now gives promise OF
forcing the big issue in February OF
March.
There is no question but that the
Allies have superior numbers, while
all the combatants are probably bet
ter equipped with ammunition than al
any time since the war began. This
makes it certain that the slaughter
of the next few weeks will set new
record not only for this war, but fol
all wars.
