Don’t you feel like brutes; don’t you feel lower than snakes when you raise you voice against the Bible and this campaign, which is working for the influence of Christianity?
You can take all the books of all ages and nations, and take out all that is good and noble in them, and you can’t produce a book which will touch the hem of the Bible, which, is the word of God.
SPIRITUALISM ON THE GRILL.
Spiritualism is of the devil, pure and simple. I have no quarrel with you if you’re a spiritualist, but I have with that damnable doctrine.
Spiritualism is as old as the Egyptian mummies or the sphinx. It had long, gray hair and walked on crutches of decrepitude before Athens or Rome had a single mud hut or Romulus and Remus had been nourished by the wolf. It cannot work in the light, but needs darkness, because its deeds are evil. I never knew a confirmed spiritualist who had a normal physical body. Their religion is unclean. Christian science is the worst tommyrot since the Third Century.
STRAIGHT SHOTS FROM THE SHOULDER.
Bryan, clean as a hound’s tooth—he’s a friend of mine, too—isn’t afraid to put a Bible under his arm and preach the word of God.
The churches used to be daffy over high-critic preachers. Nowadays your high-critic preachers are wearing out shoe leather and going blind reading the want columns, trying to find jobs.
Down in Georgia they were having a dress ball. Huh! Better call it an undress ball.
Religion will do more for the world than it is now, as soon as God gets more than dimes and nickles to work with.
