SIX HISTORIC AMERICANS. Large 12mo. Price, $1.25.
This work consists of two parts, “The Fathers of the Republic” and “The Saviors of Our Republic.” In regard to Paine’s religious views, Mr. Remsburg establishes the negative of the following: (1) Was Paine an Atheist? (2) Was he a Christian? (3) Did he recant? Page after page of the most radical Freethought sentiments are culled from the correspondence and other writings of Franklin and Jefferson, which show that these men were as pronounced in their rejection of Christianity as Paine and Ingersoll. That Washington was not a church communicant, nor even a believer in Christianity, is affirmed or admitted by more than a score of witnesses, one-half of them eminent clergymen, including the pastors of the churches which he with his wife attended. In support of Lincoln’s Infidelity, he has collected the testimony of more than one hundred witnesses. These witnesses include Mr. Lincoln’s wife; his three law partners, Maj. Stuart, Judge Logan and W. H. Herndon; his private secretaries, Colonel Nicolay and Col. Hay; his executor after death, Judge David Davis; many of his biographers, including his companion and confidant, Col. Lamon; his political advisers, Col. Matheny, Jesse W. Fell, and Dr. Jayne; members of his cabinet, and scores more of his most intimate friends and associates. The refutation of Grant’s alleged Christian belief is complete and the proofs of his unbelief are full and convincing.

“The Truth Seeker is to-day the strongest foe with which Superstition has to contend.”
The Truth Seeker stands for justice, for liberty, for equality of all men before the law, regardless of religious belief. It asks for justice, not only for the Freethinkers, but for the Jews, for the Adventists, for every sect, and for every person whose rights are now ignored by the dominant religion.
The Truth Seeker works for Liberty, for the opportunity for every Christian to worship as he chooses, and for the right of the infidel to refrain from worship without being robbed of his citizenship. It stands for one man’s right to be a heretic and for another’s to be any kind of a religious believer he pleases. It stands for absolute liberty, for a perfectly unfettered freedom of the human mind, which is now so cramped and chained by custom and creed.
The Truth Seeker works for equality. When one man can build a church and make another support it, there is no equality between them. When one man does as he likes on one day of the week and forces another to do as he does also, then equality ceases, and we have master and slave. When the tyrant takes the education of the other man’s children into his care and keeping, the equality still further disappears. It is The Truth Seeker’s work to make the boasted equality of man actual, and not the catch phrase it now is.
The Truth Seeker constantly prints the most varied and interesting original papers.
The Truth Seeker gives all the news of Freethought, and is always on guard against the encroachments of Ecclesiasticism upon the people’s Liberties.
The sixteen large pages of The Truth Seeker are filled each week with scientific, philosophical, and Freethought articles and communications by the ablest Liberals of the country.
The Truth Seeker is a paper for the Family, for the Philosopher, for the thinker. It is iconoclastic to Error, but a Builder for the Truth. And it is more. As has been well said of it: “A paper like The Truth Seeker is something more and better than an advocate of truth. Through it its subscribers touch elbows with each other. Each reader knows that he is one of a goodly company who find comfort and inspiration in its pages. If they should meet each other they would feel like brothers and sisters. They have lived under one intellectual roof, felt the glow of the same fireside, and broken together the bread of life. Such a paper is to thousands a substitute for the church.”
The Truth Seeker is published every Saturday, at $3 per year, by The Truth Seeker Company, who are the principal Freethought publishers of this country.
