“To plow is to pray; to plant is to prophesy; and the harvest answers and fulfils.”

Largest, Cheapest, Best.
“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.
