30900 | JOSEPH LEWIS_ January 10, 1928_ INTRODUCTION_ Where did we come from? |
30900 | May I ask, where was God, and what did he do, to stop this frightful nightmare of torture committed in"his"name? |
30900 | Or of eating his breakfast-- and of what it consists? |
30900 | What and where are the benefits of its retention? |
30900 | What are we doing here? |
30900 | What is there to repay us for living? |
30900 | What must be the horror, darkness and emptiness of those living substances that are"inferior"to us? |
30900 | What sort of crust in the earth''s formation are we to make? |
30900 | What will be the future living forces? |
30900 | What will be the product of the future living forces that will utilize the materials that our bodies will make? |
30900 | Where is the soul when we are in a state of unconsciousness? |
30900 | Whither are we going?_ These questions have puzzled thinking people since consciousness first dawned in the brain. |
30900 | Why must we be made to suffer such dreadful torment before death, since by eternal decree it is the common lot all must endure? |
30900 | Within the movements and actions of that fly was wrapped up the secret of"Whence did I come, and whither am I going?" |
30900 | X But after this life with all our pains and sorrows, what then? |
30900 | _ Why?_ Would you, reader, were it in your power, formulate such a method of reproduction? |

51793 | Where are all those Doctors and Masters whom thou didst well know whilst they lived and flourished in learning? 51793 And if God is not, whence come good things? |

38107 | Admitting that a god did create the universe, the question then arises, of what did he create it? |
38107 | But what put all this matter in motion? |
38107 | Can the conduct of infinite wisdom, power and love ever change? |
38107 | Can we see the propriety of so constructing the earth, that only an insignificant portion of its surface is capable of producing an intelligent man? |
38107 | Can you believe that such directions were given by any being except an infinite fiend? |
38107 | Did any devil ever force upon a husband, upon a father, so cruel and so heartless an alternative? |
38107 | Did any devil ever make so infamous a threat? |
38107 | Did it ever occur to them that a cancer is as beautiful in its development as is the reddest rose? |
38107 | Does not an improvement in the things created, show a corresponding improvement in the creator? |
38107 | How did he, even to the extent that he has, outgrow his ignorant, abject terror, and throw off the yoke of superstition? |
38107 | If an infinite universe has been made out of an infinite god, how much of the god is left? |
38107 | If evil is necessary to the development of man, in this life, how is it possible for the soul to improve in the perfect joy of paradise? |
38107 | If it was made by an infinite being, what reason have we for saying that he will render it nearer perfect than it now is? |
38107 | If neither matter nor force were created, what evidence have we, then, of the existence of a power superior to nature? |
38107 | If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? |
38107 | If there is no interference, of what practical use can such power be? |
38107 | Is it possible the devil was such an idiot? |
38107 | Is it possible to discover infinite intelligence and love in universal and eternal carnage? |
38107 | Is the infinite capable of any improvement whatever? |
38107 | Is there a Christian in the whole world who would believe such a story if found in any other book? |
38107 | Is there in all the religious literature of the world anything more grossly absurd than this? |
38107 | Now suppose that two atoms should come together, would there be an effect? |
38107 | Of what use have the gods been to man? |
38107 | Should any great credit be given to this deity for not being caught with such chaff? |
38107 | Supposing this to be true, what is to become of those who die in infancy? |
38107 | That what they are pleased to call the adaptation of means to ends, is as apparent in the cancer as in the April rain? |
38107 | Think of the amount of thought it must have required to invent a way by which the life of one man might be given to produce one cancer? |
38107 | Under such circumstances, what can their thoughts be worth? |
38107 | Was ever any imp of any devil guilty of such savagery? |
38107 | What man, who ever thinks, can believe that blood can appease God? |
38107 | What right have we to expect that a perfectly wise, good and powerful being will ever do better than he has done, and is doing? |
38107 | Which of your by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature? |
38107 | Who can bend the knee to such a monster? |
38107 | Who can pray to such a fiend? |
38107 | Who can worship such a god? |
38107 | Who will be his successor? |
38107 | Why not say, God has intelligence, therefore there must be an intelligence greater than his? |
38107 | Will God have more power? |
38107 | Will he become more merciful? |
38107 | Will his love for his poor creatures increase? |
38107 | Will the religionist pretend that the real end of science is to ascertain how and why God acts? |
38107 | Would countless ages thus be wasted in the production of awkward forms, afterwards abandoned? |

14120 | Another question has been raised"whether a society of atheists can exist?" |
14120 | Are all things in the universe infinite? |
14120 | Are these men privy counsellors of the Divinity, or on what do they found their romantic hopes? |
14120 | At least after all the observations about a table, it may be modestly asked, whether there is not some difference between a table and the world? |
14120 | But do not the present appearances of his want of wisdom or goodness justify us in concluding, that he will always want them? |
14120 | But if he is perfectly good, why will he let them suffer at all? |
14120 | But if nothing visible can to us account for the operations of nature, why must we have recourse to what is invisible? |
14120 | But if pain is, as he says, in this world necessary for happiness, why will it not still be necessary hereafter? |
14120 | But if the opinions of men of great genius are to have weight, what is to be said of modern men of genius? |
14120 | But if this God is jealous of his glory, his titles and prerogative, why does he permit such numbers of men to offend him? |
14120 | But let it be asked, is it not absurd to reason with a man about that of which that same man asserts we have no idea at all? |
14120 | But surely, with all this infinity it may be asked, why may not there have been an infinity of causes? |
14120 | But who made the eye? |
14120 | Does experience shew us more of a man than that he came from a man and a woman? |
14120 | Grant that we do not know, whether man has been eternal, or from a time, is it therefore because we do not know, that we must say he came from God? |
14120 | How unquestionable? |
14120 | If he is omnipotent, why need he vex himself about the vain design any one may form against him? |
14120 | If it is asked me,"why am I honest and honourable?" |
14120 | If the course of nature does not give sufficient proof, why does not the hand divine shew itself by an extraordinary interposition of power? |
14120 | If the justice of God is not the same with human justice, why lastly do any men pretend to announce it, comprehend and explain it to others?" |
14120 | If they are so often manifestly deficient in this world, what can assure us that they will abound more in the next? |
14120 | In other words"whether honesty sufficient for the purposes of civil society can be insured by other motives than the belief of a Deity?" |
14120 | Is not that alone an argument of there being no such thing? |
14120 | Is not the reparation of vegitable life the spring equally wonderful now as its first production? |
14120 | Is not this to be turned upon Theists? |
14120 | My countenance brightened up and I replied,"You are then, my friend, convinced?" |
14120 | Or grant that God made the eye, which can only see in the light, must he necessarily see in the dark? |
14120 | Or why may not visible things account for them, although this person or another can not tell which? |
14120 | Shall then such a tremendous Being with such a care for the creatures he has made, suffer his own existence to be a perpetual doubt? |
14120 | Take a view of human existence, and who can even allow, that there is more happiness than misery in the world? |
14120 | The Theist exclaims in triumph,"He that made the eye, must he not see?" |
14120 | To conclude he asks,"how it is possible to teach children caution, but by feeling pain?" |
14120 | What can be said to this? |
14120 | What more has Helvetius said than that? |
14120 | Where is that other ecclesiastic who will allow the same? |
14120 | Where is the absurdity of that? |
14120 | Why an infinite maker of a finite work? |
14120 | Why are any found daring enough to refuse the incense which his pride expects? |
14120 | Why necessary to account at all for them? |
14120 | Why then all his own reasoning? |
14120 | Why then any other God than Necessity? |
14120 | Why then attribute infinity to the cause? |
14120 | why did he present him with a gift of which he must have foreseen the abuse? |

30207 | Do you think the world has any farther use for the man who can gravely tell those stories about Samson, for instance, as truth-- as the word of God? |
30207 | Do you think they do honor to the most attenuated intellect? |
30207 | Do you think you would? |
30207 | Do you want your children taught to believe in the purity and honor of such men? |
30207 | Do you want your children taught to worship a God who sanctioned, commanded, and gloried( and usually participated) in their worst crimes? |
30207 | Does it give me unlimited power over her?" |
30207 | Does it not put a premium on crime? |
30207 | Even if Eve did eat that apple, why should_ we_ insist upon having the colic? |
30207 | For the time we will grant this, and respectfully inquire-- what does it prove? |
30207 | For what is a Christian to- day without his hell? |
30207 | Had n''t he a perfect right to shut them up and feed them if he wanted to? |
30207 | Have any of you ever met a saint at the bar? |
30207 | His friend ran to the window and exclaimed,"Are ye kilt, Mike?" |
30207 | His sworn preconceptions warping his discernment, adherence to his sect or party engenders intolerance to the honest convictions of other inquirer? |
30207 | How can people say they believe such nonsense? |
30207 | How many did Moody touch in this city during his revival days? |
30207 | How much longer is one form of society and life to content itself with the morality made for another? |
30207 | How would that work in a court of justice? |

30207 | If he were going to take the trouble to say anything, would it not seem more natural that he should say something important? |
30207 | If religion decided and produced the civilization of a people, what sort of civilization would exist to- day among the Jews? |
30207 | If she fails in that, what wonder that with broken hope comes broken virtue or despair? |
30207 | If she knows and does the will of God so much better than man, why did he not reveal himself to her and place his earthly kingdom in her hands? |
30207 | If she knows more about it, if she understands it all better than men, why does she not occupy the pulpit? |
30207 | If there is a hereafter, could there be a better preparation for it than that? |
30207 | Is he prepared to say that Mohammedanism is superior to Christianity because its followers outdo the Christians in honesty? |
30207 | Is it a debt of gratitude? |
30207 | Is it evidence of a perfect character to accompany a service with an insult? |
30207 | Is she cruel or only sensible? |
30207 | Is the husband in any way reproved for his brutality? |
30207 | Is there trouble in the cabinet?" |
30207 | Now what did David do that for? |
30207 | Now, if God did kill that man for touching the ark to save it from falling, what do you think of him-- as a God? |
30207 | Odd idea, is n''t it? |
30207 | Perhaps he had eaten too much pie and felt cross; and what else were those women for but to be made stand around on such occasions? |
30207 | Pretty slim hold on heaven for most women, is n''t it? |
30207 | SHALL PROGRESS STOP? |
30207 | SHALL PROGRESS STOP? |
30207 | See?" |
30207 | She said,"Is it not horrible, the ignorance and superstition of these poor people? |
30207 | She was standing by the window killing flies, and her mother called her and said,"My child, do n''t you know that is very wicked? |
30207 | Suppose he had not touched it and it had fallen? |
30207 | The questions--''Shall women be allowed to enter colleges?'' |
30207 | They do not ask,"Would_ I_ like to see woman do thus or thus?" |
30207 | Well is that all he said?" |
30207 | Were n''t they his property? |
30207 | What Christian will admit that it is the religion of the Chinese that makes them the most orderly, law- abiding, mob- avoiding people on the globe? |
30207 | What did he know about women anyway? |
30207 | What do you think of a religion that upholds such morals and such justice as that just quoted? |
30207 | What do you think of women supporting the Bible in the face of that as the will of God? |
30207 | What has not woman lost by that silly fable which made her responsible for transgression? |
30207 | What is his intellect for? |
30207 | What is your creed?" |
30207 | What sort of a soul would it be that could have a heaven apart from those it loved? |

30207 | Which will you accept? |
30207 | Which? |
30207 | Who ever heard of a minister being surprised that God did not reveal any of the forms of belief through a woman? |
30207 | Why are not the words, sister, mother, daughter, wife, only names for degradation And dishonor? |
30207 | Why does she not hold the official positions in the Churches? |
30207 | Why has she not received even recognition in our system of religion? |
30207 | Why is his mind one vast interrogation point? |
30207 | Why not accept the miracle of the loaves and fishes on evidence, as readily as the victories of Napoleon? |
30207 | Why not be honest and say it is because they like to live? |
30207 | Why not believe in the Bible as well as in other history? |
30207 | Why not, if you believe in a God at all, give him credit for placing you where he wanted you? |
30207 | Why not, on the testimony of witnesses, believe that Christ turned water into wine, as readily as that a man was hung? |
30207 | Why should any book bind us to sentiments that we would not tolerate if they came from any other source? |
30207 | Why should not Eve have grasped with eagerness the fruit of the tree of knowledge? |
30207 | Why try to bind the human mind by the silly theory that a God requires man to crush out or subject the intellect he has given him? |
30207 | Why will they listen to such nonsense? |
30207 | Why? |
30207 | Will he not learn to cry,''Peace,''to me, when there is no peace? |
30207 | With such a champion, what cause could fail? |
30207 | With such a leader, what should not be achieved? |
30207 | With these before him will a Christian suppose that morals are dependent upon our Bible? |
30207 | Would he have impressed you as a loving Father? |
30207 | Would you like him as a family physician? |
30207 | Would you worship him if he had? |
30207 | You are the jury, what is the verdict? |
30207 | and''Shall they be admitted into the professions?'' |
30207 | but,"Have I a right to keep in ignorance, have I a right to degrade, any human intellect?" |
30207 | but,"Have_ I_ a right to dictate the limit of her efforts or her energy?" |
30207 | but,''Is it true?''" |
30209 | Doth Job fear God for nought? |
30209 | Hullo, Balaam, what''s this? |
30209 | I beg pardon,said he,"for troubling you so, but do you mind knocking off another ten, and making thirty of it?" |
30209 | Now,said they,"there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes- Who shall give us flesh to eat?" |
30209 | Oh,said they,"is that all you can do?" |
30209 | Then,continues our narrative,"said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us? |
30209 | War did you larn dat? |
30209 | Well,said the Lord,"have you observed my servant Job? |
30209 | What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
30209 | What,quoth he,"have we here? |
30209 | Why,said he,"art thou wroth? |
30209 | Wo n''t you? |
30209 | And how could they resolve to build a"city,"when they had never seen one, and had no knowledge of what it was like? |
30209 | And how were the tents carried? |
30209 | And may we not say, that if asses did not see angels first, wise men would never see them after? |
30209 | And they called unto Lot, and said unto him,"Where are the men which came in unto thee this night? |
30209 | And what was the mark? |
30209 | And who can wonder that he did so? |
30209 | And why, if he wanted to kill him, did he not succeed in doing it? |
30209 | Besides, the Jews had arms in the desert, and how could they have possessed them there unless they obtained them in Egypt? |
30209 | But how, in that case, could a distinctive mark be any protection? |
30209 | But suppose Noah to have succeeded in his arduous enterprise, the question still remains, how did he keep his wonderful zoological collection alive? |

30209 | Could a nation of hereditary cowards become stubborn warriors in the short space of a month? |
30209 | Could anything more conclusively prove the mythical character of the narrative? |
30209 | Could the force of folly farther go? |
30209 | Did God destroy their verbal memory? |

30209 | Did they suppose that_ all_ of them could abuse the two strangers? |
30209 | Does any instructed man believe in the possibility of such multiplication? |
30209 | Does this not bear out great Bacon''s remark that"in all superstition, wise men follow fools"? |
30209 | Gravitation would defeat the cohesion of morter Why did not God leave them alone? |
30209 | Had he forgotten the law of gravitation and the principles of architecture? |
30209 | Had he not told them"that he fled from the presence of the Lord?" |
30209 | Hamlet.--Or like a whale? |
30209 | Hast thou eaten of that tree, eh?" |
30209 | He had slain his brother, and his father and mother were the only people in the world besides himself and perhaps his sisters(? |
30209 | He therefore first raised an objection as to his own insignificance--"Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh?" |
30209 | How can Christians explain it? |
30209 | How can the Christian dare to justify such awful cruelty? |
30209 | How can this difference be accounted for? |
30209 | How could God look with delight upon an offering which the offerer himself did not regard with unalloyed satisfaction? |
30209 | How could Noah, in those days of difficult locomotion, have journeyed in search of these across broad rivers, and over continents and oceans? |
30209 | How could he encourage by his applause a man whose heart was poisoned by the mean and miserable passion of envy?" |

30209 | How could they and their new- born children have started off in such a summary manner? |
30209 | How could they possibly have provided themselves with so much food on so short a notice? |
30209 | How could two midwives possibly attend to all the confinements among such a population? |
30209 | How did Cain manage to go"out from the presence of the Lord,"who is everywhere? |

30209 | How did the huge multitude of people march? |
30209 | How did the sheep and cattle march? |
30209 | How did they provide themselves with tents? |
30209 | How do we know that it was an_ apple_ and not some other fruit? |
30209 | How else could he have given us an authentic version of the long colloquies that were carried on in heaven? |
30209 | How high did these primitive builders think heaven was? |
30209 | How is it, too, that no other ancient people has preserved any record of this marvellous occurrence? |
30209 | How was it possible for them to keep pace with their human fellow- travellers? |
30209 | How was their language"confounded?" |
30209 | How was this miracle wrought? |
30209 | How were all the animals, with their food, got into the ark? |
30209 | How were the flocks and herds driven out in such haste? |
30209 | How were the two million sheep and two hundred thousand oxen provisioned during this journey? |
30209 | How where the inmates of this floating menagerie, supposing them got in, supplied with fresh air? |
30209 | How, in a period of two hundred and fifteen years, did the seventy males of Jacob''s house multiply into a nation of over two millions? |
30209 | I do n''t wish to be importunate, but will you knock off another ten?" |
30209 | If a dumb animal were nowadays to address a man with"How d''ye do?" |
30209 | If they went out of Egypt"armed,"why did they cry out"sore afraid"when Pharaoh pursued them? |
30209 | If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
30209 | If, however, the tempter_ was_ the Devil, what chance had the poor woman against his seductive wiles? |
30209 | Is it credible that all these animals were collected together from such a wide area, and driven out of Egypt in one night? |
30209 | Is it likely that_ every_ male in the city, past the age of puberty, should burn with unnatural lust at one and the same time? |
30209 | Is it not as credible, and quite as moral, as the Bible story of Jehovah''s lengthening out the day to prolong a massacre? |
30209 | Is there a single philologist living who believes this? |
30209 | Kalisch points out that"the great scantiness of food? |
30209 | Many more women must have been at the point of confinement How could these have been hurried off at all? |
30209 | Meanwhile, what had become of poor Jonah? |
30209 | Meanwhile, where was the Devil posted? |
30209 | Must we suppose, with Kalisch, that their bondage in Egypt had crushed all valor and manhood out of their breasts? |
30209 | Starting from this conclusion, what should we expect to find in our geological researches? |
30209 | Suppose there are fifty righteous men in Sodom, wo n''t you, just for their sake, spare the place?" |
30209 | The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, while he remained flat on his face,"Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? |
30209 | Their simple ignorance is intelligible, but how can we explain the ignorance of God? |
30209 | Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? |
30209 | Then the ass rejoined,"Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? |
30209 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? |
30209 | Was I ever wo nt to do so unto thee?" |
30209 | Was ever a more ludicrous story palmed off on a credulous world? |
30209 | Was he, who made the heaven and the earth, ignorant of the distance between them? |
30209 | Was it God, was it Satan, or was it both? |
30209 | Were the Greeks any bigger liars than the Jews? |
30209 | Were the linch- pins too tight or the wheels too heavy? |
30209 | Were these carefully got ready in expectation? |
30209 | Were they dead carcasses, or were they live cattle miraculously created in the interim? |
30209 | Were they not, as we said at the outset, a queer lot? |
30209 | What beasts, then, were these tortured with boils? |
30209 | What became of Lot and his daughters? |
30209 | What became of all the fish? |
30209 | What became of all the vegetation? |
30209 | What could poor Eve think? |
30209 | What d''ye mean?" |
30209 | What did the Jews themselves live on? |
30209 | What did the drove live upon during the journey from Barneses to Succoth, and from Succoth to Etham, and from Etham to the Red Sea? |
30209 | What had they done to be treated thus? |
30209 | What is thine occupation? |
30209 | What provision was made for the_ carnivorous_ animals, for lions, tigers, vultures, kites, and hawks? |
30209 | What should we think of a legislator who proposed that the descendants of all thieves should be imprisoned, and the descendants of all murderers hung? |
30209 | What then must we think of the rest? |
30209 | What then was left for the locusts to eat? |
30209 | What was to be done? |
30209 | What were they about, to let him do all this with such consummate ease? |
30209 | When did the new creation of fish take place? |
30209 | Whence and how did Noah procure the food for his huge menagerie? |

30209 | Where had Satan been, and what had he been doing? |
30209 | Where was the land of Nod situated? |
30209 | Where, in the whole history of religion, shall we find a viler sample of divine injustice? |
30209 | Whereupon the Lord said coaxingly,"Doest thou well to be angry?" |
30209 | Which of these two spoke the truth? |
30209 | While God was engaged in the work of creation, why did he not make two human couples, instead of one? |
30209 | Who was she? |
30209 | Who will explain this astounding neglect? |
30209 | Who would have thought him capable of such disinterested conduct? |
30209 | Why could he not do the same on this occasion? |
30209 | Why did he fear that everybody would try to kill him? |
30209 | Why did he not profit by the lesson of the Flood? |
30209 | Why did he take so much unnecessary trouble? |
30209 | Why did he want to kill his own messenger? |
30209 | Why did the Lord resolve to take all this trouble? |
30209 | Why did the Lord spare these four persons? |
30209 | Why did_ all_ the men of Sodom, both old and young, flock to Lot''s house? |
30209 | Why do n''t the clergy try to discover them? |
30209 | Why do not the clergy pray without cease for that one object? |
30209 | Why does not God convert the Devil? |
30209 | Why is this? |
30209 | Why is this? |
30209 | Why may we not believe this? |
30209 | Why should Eve give her second boy so sinister a name? |
30209 | Why then did they not avail themselves of such a fine opportunity to escape? |
30209 | Why was Cain so solicitous about his safety? |
30209 | Why was Cain''s offering slighted? |
30209 | Why was not Cain begotten in the same way? |
30209 | Why were the Jews so appalled by less than a third of their own number? |
30209 | Why were they not allowed to remain in Egypt until they grew better, or why was not some other nation selected to inherit Canaan? |
30209 | Why, oh why, we repeat, does not God convert the Devil, and thus put a stop for ever to the damnation of mankind? |
30209 | Will some theologian kindly explain this mystery? |
30209 | Will you knock off another ten?" |
30209 | Yes, but what of the consequences? |
30209 | a man or a fish? |
30209 | and can you regard the book which contains it as God''s Word? |
30209 | and of what people art thou? |
30209 | and whence comest thou? |
30209 | and why is thy countenance fallen? |
30209 | dead or alive? |
30209 | did you ever meet with a more extraordinary story than this of the Ten Plagues? |
30209 | what is thy country? |
40770 | A God who delights in the tears of his unhappy creatures, who sets for them the ambush, and then punishes them for having fallen into it? |
40770 | A God who himself ordains robbery, persecution, and carnage? |
40770 | A mild and humane religion can never belong to a partial and cruel God? |
40770 | After such principles, is not the whole earth to become a prey to Christian rapacity? |
40770 | Among the orthodox courtiers, who surround Christian thrones, do we see intrigues, calumny, or perfidy? |
40770 | And are the virtues less because professed by heathens? |
40770 | And further, how can the Christian love beings who continually offend his God? |
40770 | And have we not a right to refuse their testimonies? |
40770 | And how can goodness be an attribute of a God, who has created most of the human race only to damn them eternally? |
40770 | And if so, what are they? |
40770 | And is not hatred eternalized where implacable revenge is exercised? |
40770 | Are not they calculated to discourage man, and throw him into despair? |
40770 | Are the men, redeemed by the blood of even a Deity, more honest than others? |
40770 | Are the witnesses who transmitted, or the Apostles who saw them, extremely deserving of credit? |
40770 | Are they strong? |
40770 | Are they weak? |
40770 | Are those miracles confirmed by the testimony of cotemporary historians? |
40770 | Are we acquainted with his character and temperament? |
40770 | At this remote period, how can we be certain that Moses conversed with God, and received from him the law which he communicated to the Hebrews? |
40770 | Beings who would continually betray himself into offence? |
40770 | But are we not at liberty to doubt the truth of this assertion? |
40770 | But have not many wise men among the heathens discovered, without the assistance of the Jewish revelation, one supreme God, superior to all others? |
40770 | But in another view, does not it imply mistrust of the wisdom of God to prescribe rules for his conduct? |
40770 | But what is it to have morals, in; the language of Christians? |
40770 | But what is the foundation of this confidence? |
40770 | But when has he spoken? |
40770 | But who are these masters? |
40770 | But who shall decide whether the laws, most advantageous to society, are conformed to the will of this God? |
40770 | But will the revelation, upon which Judaism and Christianity are founded, bear the test of this criterion? |
40770 | But, be this as it may, is it true that Christianity admits but one God, the same which was revealed by Moses? |
40770 | But, if this be the case, why did the apostles preach to them the gospel? |
40770 | But, on the other side, is not reason proscribed by the Christian religion? |
40770 | By what fatality have writings revealed by God himself still need of commentaries? |
40770 | Can it be supposed that such a Being, without equal and without rival, should be jealous of his glory? |
40770 | Can man love a God above all things, who is represented as wrathful, capricious, unjust, and implacable? |
40770 | Can man love, above all things, an object the most dreadful that human imagination could ever conceive? |
40770 | Can not Christians see, that, in endeavouring to honour and exalt their God, they only degrade and debase him? |
40770 | Can reason subscribe to the ridiculous obligation of abstaining from certain aliments and meats which is imposed by some sects of Christians? |
40770 | Can such an object excite in the human heart a sentiment of love? |
40770 | Can the abject and isolated mind of these mercenary pedagogues be capable of instructing their pupils in that of which themselves are ignorant? |
40770 | Can the prayers of man add glory to a Being beyond comparison superior to all others? |
40770 | Can we draw from them any just conceptions of its attributes? |
40770 | Could it be expected that the Jews would believe the report of the apostles, rather than their own eyes? |
40770 | Do not they themselves, in certain cases, have recourse to reason? |
40770 | Do they exhibit any precise ideas of the God, whose oracles they announce? |
40770 | Do they not appeal to reason, when they endeavour to prove the existence of their God? |
40770 | Do we not see Christians adore a threefold divinity, under the name of the Trinity? |
40770 | Does he not paint himself as false, unjust, deceitful, and Cruel; as setting snares for mankind; seducing, hardening, and leading them astray? |
40770 | Does it not continually exclaim against a profane reason, which it accuses of insufficiency, and often regards as rebellious to heaven? |
40770 | Does it not imply a doubt of his immutability, to believe he can be prevailed on by his creatures to alter his designs? |
40770 | Does it render empires flourishing and powerful? |
40770 | Does it render mankind better? |
40770 | Does it, better than any other, make us acquainted with the nature and essence of God? |
40770 | Does not every man, who is desirous to live, perceive that vice, intemperance, and voluptuousness must shorten the period of life? |
40770 | For why should a man mingle with the affairs of a world, which his religion informs him is only a place of passage? |
40770 | From their instructions for eighteen hundred years past, what advantages have nations derived? |
40770 | Has it any superior qualities, by which it merits the preference? |
40770 | Has this religion influenced the manners of sovereigns, who derive their divine power from it? |
40770 | Have not Popes arrogated the right of disposing of distant empires to their favourite Monarchs in Europe? |
40770 | Have these infallible men found it possible to agree among themselves, on the most essential points of a religion, revealed by God himself? |
40770 | Have we not room to accuse the Saviour of the world with want of benevolence, in shewing himself only to his disciples and favourites? |
40770 | How can a God, who enjoys a supreme felicity, be offended with the actions of his creatures? |
40770 | How can a benevolent God bestow on his creatures a fatal liberty by the abuse of which they may incur his anger, and their own destruction? |
40770 | How can a man, in his senses, see, in the Immanuel announced by Isaiah, the Messiah, whose name is Jesus? |
40770 | How can an only God become triple without injuring his unity? |
40770 | How can he love sinners? |
40770 | How can that Being, who is himself the author of life and nature, suffer death? |
40770 | How can we delight in the God under whose rod we tremble? |
40770 | How can we know, without the aid of reason, that God hath spoken? |
40770 | How can we love that which we dread? |
40770 | How discover, in an obscure and crucified Jew, a leader who shall govern Israel? |
40770 | How does it happen that such extraordinary events have been noticed only by a handful of Christians? |
40770 | How prove the validity of its pretensions? |
40770 | How shall we be made sure that they have not been the dupes of some illusion, or an overheated imagination? |
40770 | How then can we discover what confidence is due to the testimony which these organs of heaven give in favour of their own mission? |
40770 | How then shall we decide in its favour? |
40770 | If he is almighty, how can he be flattered with the submissions, adorations, and formalities with which Christians prostrate themselves before him? |
40770 | If he knows all things, what need is there of continually informing him what are the dispositions and desires of his subjects? |
40770 | If justice, humanity, generosity, temperance, and patience be not virtues, to what can the name be given? |
40770 | If literally practised, would they not prove ruinous to society? |
40770 | If nothing be due from God to his creatures, how can any thing be due from them to him? |
40770 | If so, why do they eternally dispute about them? |
40770 | If this revelation be, as is supposed, an emanation from God himself, who can confide in him? |
40770 | If we know that the Apostles sometimes wandered from the truth, how shall we believe them at others? |
40770 | In this case what need was there of having spoken? |
40770 | In this case, how does it happen that Christians continue to sin, as if they had never been redeemed and delivered from sin? |
40770 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise, when they confound the cause of God with that of their own vanity? |
40770 | Is it but to reveal such mysteries as these that the Godhead has taken pains to instruct mankind? |
40770 | Is it certain that the books which are attributed to Moses, and report so many miraculous circumstances, are perfectly authentic? |
40770 | Is it even practicable for mankind to love their neighbours as themselves? |
40770 | Is it not astonishing, that what was intended as a guide for mankind, should be wholly above their comprehending? |
40770 | Is it not cruel, that what is of most importance to them should be least known? |
40770 | Is it not rather a proof of his ferocity, cruelty, and implacable vengeance? |
40770 | Is it possible to obey this precept? |
40770 | Is it so with the Bible? |
40770 | Is it, then by subterfuges, subtilties, and falsehoods, that we are to render service to God? |
40770 | Is not such conduct as ridiculous as it is unreasonable? |
40770 | Is not such conduct calculated to multiply our friends? |
40770 | Is not the forgiveness of injuries connected with this principle? |
40770 | Is not the pardoning of our enemies a greatness of soul, which gives us an advantage over those who offend us? |
40770 | Is not the use of reason forbidden, in the examination of the marvellous dogmas with which we are presented by this religion? |
40770 | Is not this God represented as a mass of extraordinary qualities, which form an inexplicable enigma? |
40770 | Is the Godhead described when it is said that it is a spirit, an immaterial being, which resembles nothing presented to us by our senses? |
40770 | May not reason be permitted to hope, that she shall one day re- assume the power so long usurped from her by error, illusion, and deceit? |
40770 | May not we, also, oppose to the miracles of Moses, and Christ, those performed by Mahomet in presence of all Mecca and Arabia assembled? |
40770 | May we not, however, ask them how far this renunciation of reason ought to be carried? |
40770 | Moreover, was not Fate, to which all the other gods of the heathens were subordinate, an only God, to whose sovereign law all nature was subject? |
40770 | Must it not be a great temerity and sin for a Christian to serve in war? |
40770 | Must not a true Christian, to whose imitation the example of the saints and heroes of the Old Testament are proposed, become ferocious and sanguinary? |
40770 | Now, it is said, that the death of man is the effect of the sin of Adam; and if, by baptism, sin be effaced, why is man still subject to death? |
40770 | On what, then, is Revelation itself founded? |
40770 | Ought a God to reveal himself to mankind for the sole purpose of not being comprehended? |
40770 | Ought he not to imagine that the surest means of pleasing his God, is to imitate his ferocity and cruelty? |
40770 | Ought not all these things to excite a doubt of the infallibility of the Evangelists, and the reality of their divine inspirations? |
40770 | Ought not they to have perceived, that this conduct was calculated only to produce hypocrites and hidden enemies, of open rebellions? |
40770 | These interpreters of the divine will were then men; and are not men liable to be deceived themselves, and prone to deceive others? |
40770 | To justify his own, will he not appeal to the perfidious cruelty of Phineas, Jabel, and Judith? |
40770 | Was he phlegmatic or enthusiastic, honest or knavish, ambitious or disinterested, a practiser of truths or of falsehood? |
40770 | Was it necessary that a God should speak, to shew that they have need of mutual aid and mutual love? |
40770 | Was it not religious and supernatural ideas which caused sovereigns to be looked upon as gods? |
40770 | Were they the only persons who perceived them? |
40770 | Were those witnesses disinterested? |
40770 | Were those witnesses very deserving men? |
40770 | What advantage are mankind to derive from all this? |
40770 | What assistance can it receive from a religion by which it is continually contradicted and degraded? |
40770 | What do I say? |
40770 | What good results to society from these practices, all of which may be observed by a man who has not the shadow of virtue? |
40770 | What indulgence can the Christian, who believes this fable, shew to his fellow- creature? |
40770 | What indulgence have mankind a right to expect from a God, who spared not even his own son? |
40770 | What kind of being shall we contemplate, when we add to this the ineffable attributes ascribed to him in the Christian theology? |
40770 | What must be thought of these divine writings, which every sect understands so differently? |
40770 | What must we think of a revelation which, far from teaching us any thing, is calculated to darken and puzzle the clearest ideas? |
40770 | What proofs does the Christian religion give us of the mission of Jesus Christ? |
40770 | What real good can result to society from the melancholy and ferocious virtues which Christians consider indispensible? |
40770 | What shall we say of the false and forged prophecies, applied to Christ in the gospel? |
40770 | What shall we say of the morality, which commands the human heart to detach itself from objects which reason commands it to love? |
40770 | What then are the proofs which are to establish the superiority of the Christian religion over all others? |
40770 | What was the temperament of this Moses? |
40770 | What, then, are the motives of the Christian, for pretending to such a belief? |
40770 | When we do good to our enemies does it not give us a superiority over them? |
40770 | When we refuse the blessings offered us by nature, do we not despise the benefactions of the One Supreme? |
40770 | When will nations renounce chimerical hopes, to contemplate their true interests? |
40770 | Wherever it reigns, do we not see the people debased, destitute of energy, and ignorant of true morality? |
40770 | Who does not see, in these sublime precepts, the language of enthusiasm and hyperbole? |
40770 | Why assign to him qualities which destroy each other? |
40770 | Why quarrel and cut each others throats, because they are differently interpreted by different persons? |
40770 | Why recount fables concerning him? |
40770 | Why then do they dispute incessantly concerning him? |
40770 | Why was he transported thither, and what did he learn by his journey? |
40770 | Will they never shake off the yokes of those hypocritical tyrants, who are interested only in the errors of mankind? |
40770 | Will they teach then to love the public good, to serve their country, to know the duties of the man and citizen? |
40770 | and do its revealed truths occasion no disputes among divines? |
40770 | and why do they demand additional lights from on high, before they can be believed or understood? |
40770 | the virtues of Greece and Rome, so amiable, and so heroic, were they not true virtues? |
40770 | who is said to be cruel enough to damn his creatures eternally? |
46737 | And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? |
46737 | And he came unto his father, and said, My father; and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 46737 And he[ Jesus] said unto them, Have ye never read what David did when he was ahungered, he, and they that were with him? |

38803 | Were they ever performed? |
38803 | Were they-- ignorant, credulous, stupid and malicious-- as well qualified to judge of"inspiration"as the students of our time? |
38803 | What bishop pitied the victims of the rack? |
38803 | What cardinal, what bishop, what priest in France raised his voice for the rights of men? |

38803 | Who were they? |
38803 | Who wrote the account? |

38803 | the bishops, or Gambetta?--Dupanloup, or Victor Hugo? |
38803 | to credulity, the ring in the priest- led nose of stupidity? |
38803 | to fear, the capital stock of imposture, the lever of hypocrisy? |
38803 | where?" |
36269 | * Are you married? 36269 * Do you say that you are independent of all circumstances, that you can control them, that you have a free will? |
36269 | * Is this true, and if true, when? 36269 * So far well, but how if thy neighbor will not hear thy doctrine when thou preacheth the"glad tidings of great joy"to him? |
36269 | ** And was he glorified? 36269 ** Aye, but when? |
36269 | And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? 36269 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? |
36269 | Give us this day our daily bread,Will the prayer get it without work? |
36269 | He came unto his own and his own received him not,** Why should the Jews be more God''s own than the Gentiles? |

36269 | *** Why should men be taught to make to themselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness? |
36269 | A man or a myth? |
36269 | Again, if you tell me that the child had not a soul, then, I ask, why not? |
36269 | And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? |
36269 | And if it can not help itself, why not, if it is superior to the body? |
36269 | And if the soul is primarily naturally depraved, why is God so unjust as to give a naturally depraved soul to any body? |
36269 | And on what is the eternity of bliss to depend? |
36269 | And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? |
36269 | And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth? |
36269 | And what answer cometh from heaven to this the bread winner''s petition? |
36269 | And what do you know about the soul? |
36269 | And who can wonder? |
36269 | And why not? |
36269 | And why"which art in Heaven?" |
36269 | Are slaves that weep salt teardrops on their steel shackles comforted in their weeping? |
36269 | Are the brightness and steel of the knife separate? |
36269 | Are you equally certain of the existence of mind, as an existence independent and separate from matter? |
36269 | Are you poor in spirit, and are you smitten; in such case what did Jesus teach? |
36269 | As it was a drawn one, where was the scabbard? |
36269 | At the moment of the birth? |
36269 | At which stage, if at any, did the soul come into the child? |
36269 | Attributes are but the distinguishing characteristics of modes, and how can that be infinite which is only the quality of finity? |
36269 | But did this designer create the matter in which the design appeared? |
36269 | But even if Adam did sin, and even he and Eve, his wife, were the first parents of the whole human family, what have we to do with their sin? |
36269 | But has"God"senses? |
36269 | But what did Jesus teach? |
36269 | But what did infinite and eternal complete happiness desire? |
36269 | But what does Jesus teach? |
36269 | But what faith had Isaac? |
36269 | But what is it that thinks? |
36269 | But what is to be understood by cause? |
36269 | But what real difficulty is there? |
36269 | But where was Jonah during this noise? |
36269 | Can God be moved against a man to destroy him without a cause? |
36269 | Can human credulity go further, or human ingenuity invent any argument more absurd?" |
36269 | Can the reader wonder that these facts are held to impeach the orthodox faith? |
36269 | Can working- men, by combination, permanently raise the rate of wages? |
36269 | Can you have intelligence destitute of perception, memory, and reason? |
36269 | Can you have intelligence without thought? |
36269 | Can you have intelligence, yet no perception, no memory, no reason, no judgment? |
36269 | Christianity from its thousand pulpits teaches,"Ask and it shall be given to you,""who if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?" |
36269 | Could the immaterial mind have been connected with it at this time? |
36269 | Craven in spirit, with an empty purse and hungry mouth-- what next? |
36269 | Did Adam sin? |
36269 | Did paganism furnish the groundwork for the patriarch''s dream? |
36269 | Did the sacrifice of Jesus serve as atonement for the whole world, and, if yes, for all sin, or for Adam''s sin only? |
36269 | Do Theists ever lie or murder? |
36269 | Do all these different and differing structures and colors trace their origin to one pair? |
36269 | Do the words,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
36269 | Do they know what they mean? |
36269 | Do you allege that it was impossible to forge books so large as the gospels? |
36269 | Do you know where Heaven is, if not, why say"which art in Heaven?" |
36269 | Do you mean that it has eternally existed-- has never been created? |
36269 | Do you mean, dear reader, that it is impossible Abraham could have lived 135 years, and yet be only 75 years of age? |
36269 | Do you think God will possibly lead you into temptation? |
36269 | Do you want to see how God helps the poor? |
36269 | Does David repent? |
36269 | Does Jesus atone for Adam''s sin? |
36269 | Does any thought of the murdered Uriah rack old David''s brain, or has a tardy repentance effaced the bloody stain from the pages of his memory? |
36269 | Does he express his determination to protect the righteous Job? |
36269 | Does he make a confession of his crime- stained life, and beg his son to be a better king, a truer man, a more honest citizen, a wiser father? |
36269 | Does he talk of cherubs, angels, and heavenly choirs? |
36269 | Does he use his power to rebuke the evil tempter? |
36269 | Does his love of country efface his many misdoings? |
36269 | Does his patriotism outshine his many vices? |
36269 | Does it come in the moment the child begins to form, or is it the moment the child is born into the world? |
36269 | Does my soul feel hungry and compel my body to steal? |
36269 | Does the Lord now drive the Devil from his presence? |
36269 | Early in 1858, when Mr. Edward Truelove was suddenly arrested for publishing the pamphlet,"Is Tyrannicide Justifiable?" |
36269 | Esau''s words were,"Behold I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright be to me?" |
36269 | Faith that Jacob was Esau? |
36269 | For Jesus himself-- can man believe in him? |
36269 | For, if the argument can not make out that the being it discovers is everywhere present, how can it ever make out that he is everywhere powerful? |
36269 | HAS MAN A SOUL? |
36269 | Had this Jewish monarch any redeeming traits in his character? |
36269 | Has it a separate and distinct existence from the body? |
36269 | Has it been waiting from all eternity to occupy each body the moment of birth? |
36269 | Has man a soul? |
36269 | Has man a soul? |
36269 | Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about all that he hath on every side? |
36269 | Have you a wife you love? |
36269 | Have you ever found it apart from matter? |
36269 | Have you found that the mind has a separate and distinct existence? |
36269 | His history being a fable, is the hero a reality? |
36269 | How can God''s name be hallowed even if you know it? |
36269 | How can this poverty be removed and prevented? |
36269 | How did Jesus die? |
36269 | How do you know it had not? |
36269 | How does this King, of this unknown Salem, never heard of before or after, come to be priest of the Most High God? |
36269 | How is God''s will done in heaven? |
36269 | How is it that if the soul is immaterial, having nothing in common with matter, that it is only manifest by material means? |
36269 | How is it that my spirit is now by myself, and by my mortal body, denying its own existence? |
36269 | How is it that the Dyaks have got this soul and yet live knowing nothing whatever about it? |
36269 | How is it that the soul can not speak the moment the child is born-- can not even think? |
36269 | How is that? |
36269 | I ask you whether it was pre- existing, or at what stage it came? |
36269 | IS THERE A GOD? |
36269 | If God be infinite goodness, can evil exist at all? |
36269 | If it would have had a soul, then have avertebrated animals souls also? |
36269 | If man''s soul is not subject to material conditions, why do I find knavish souls?--Why slavish souls?--tyrannous souls? |
36269 | If not, how do you know that the soul is to exist for ever; when it only comes into existence with the child? |
36269 | If so, have fishes souls? |
36269 | If so, when and where? |
36269 | If susceptible to material conditions, what do you mean by its being immortal and immaterial? |
36269 | If the All- wise had intended the tree to be avoided, would he have made its allurements so overpowering to the senses? |
36269 | If the atonement is for the whole world, does it extend to unbelievers as well as to believers in the efficacy? |
36269 | If the brain had stopped in its first month''s course of formation, would the child have had a soul? |
36269 | If the soul began at some time to exist, where is the evidence that it will not also at some time cease to exist? |
36269 | If the sum of all bodily function-- life, be not an entity, how can the product of the action of one portion of the body-- brain, be an entity? |
36269 | If you tell me it would not have had a soul, then I ask, How do you know it? |
36269 | In his argument for the fourth proposition, Mr. Gillespie-- having by his previous proposition demonstrated(?) |
36269 | In the"Bon Sens"of Cure Meslier, it is asked,"Qu''est ce que Dieu?" |
36269 | In what manner does the soul come into the child? |
36269 | Is God infinite, then he is in earth also, why limit him to Heaven? |
36269 | Is God the creator of all? |
36269 | Is it I? |
36269 | Is it a baby''s soul, and does it grow with the child? |
36269 | Is it an attribute of the body? |
36269 | Is it apart from the body? |
36269 | Is it good to be content with poverty? |
36269 | Is it impossible to suppose a necessary being of heat, one of light, and one of electricity, all occupying the same indefinite expansion? |
36269 | Is it my soul? |
36269 | Is it spirit? |
36269 | Is it that the soul being immortal-- being destined to exist for ever, has existed from all eternity? |
36269 | Is it the body? |
36269 | Is it the immaterial and immortal soul amused and pleased with my bundle of keys? |
36269 | Is it the soul which is learning to appreciate the sound of the jingling keys, and pleased with them? |
36269 | Is it wonderful that some of these misery- stricken ones die before they have time to starve? |
36269 | Is it"me,"and yet distinct from me? |
36269 | Is mind an entity or result? |
36269 | Is my immortal soul hindered and controlled by the state of my body''s general health? |
36269 | Is my mortal soul acting the hypocrite, or is it ignorant of its own existence, and can not help itself to better knowledge? |
36269 | Is not brightness the quality attaching to a certain modification of existence-- steel? |
36269 | Is not intelligence a quality attaching to a certain modification of existence-- man? |
36269 | Is poverty of spirit a virtue at all? |
36269 | Is poverty of spirit the chief among virtues, that Jesus gives it the prime place in his teaching? |
36269 | Is that so? |
36269 | Is that the theory? |
36269 | Is the angel of the Lord a substance susceptible of ignition and incandescence? |
36269 | Is the idiot saved who can not believe? |
36269 | Is the infant saved that can not believe? |
36269 | Is the plaster roof more powerful than my immortal soul? |
36269 | Is there any expression of wrath or indignation against his tempter? |
36269 | Is there any proof of the existence of the same individual soul apart from all material conditions? |
36269 | Is there anything beyond"God"for"God"to sensate? |
36269 | Is there anything? |
36269 | Is there no new form of prayer that labor might be taught to utter, no other power to which his petition might be addressed? |
36269 | Is there one existence or more? |
36269 | Is this immortal soul affected by the bodily conditions? |
36269 | Is this so? |
36269 | Is this your objection? |
36269 | Isaac still hesitated, fancying that he recognized the voice to be the voice of Jacob, and again questioned him, saying,"Art thou my very son Esau?" |
36269 | It it came into existence with the body''s birth, why not cease with the body''s death? |
36269 | It will be vain to talk of the Deity being present by his energy? |
36269 | Jacob was a shrewd Jew, who would have laughed to scorn the preaching,"Take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? |
36269 | Jesus teaches that the poor, the hungry and the wretched shall be blessed? |
36269 | Jesus, who was very meek and gentle, answered her in the somewhat uncourteous and unmeaning phrase,"Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
36269 | Knaves have said it-- but why? |
36269 | Let workmen, instead of praying to God in their distress, ask one another why are wages low? |
36269 | Manly self- reliant resistance of wrong, and practice of right? |
36269 | Many volumes might be written to answer the inquiries-- Where did the angel stand, and on what? |
36269 | May not that which has recently begun to be, soon cease to be? |
36269 | Mr. Gillespie''s last proposition is that the being( God) whose existence he has so satisfactorily(?) |
36269 | Must I be damned? |
36269 | Nay, Abraham even deceived his own son, who asked him where was the lamb for the burnt offering? |
36269 | Now, should a birth have taken place at any of the eight stages, would the child thus prematurely born have had a soul? |
36269 | Of some person, judging according to that person''s senses? |
36269 | Of what metal was the sword, and where was it made? |
36269 | On a truthful course of life? |
36269 | On the cross, the Jesus of the four gospels, who was God, cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
36269 | Or are they( the various races) indigenous to their nature, soils, and climates? |
36269 | Or do you allege that God specially creates souls for each little child at the moment it is born or conceived? |
36269 | Or was the tenement too small even for so etherial a lodger? |
36269 | Our question at the commencement was,"Who was Jesus Christ?" |
36269 | Peter, the favored disciple, it is declared was a rascal, and why not his successors? |
36269 | Sarah-- then by her own admission an old woman, stricken in years-- laughed when she heard this, and the Lord said,"Wherefore did Sarah laugh?" |
36269 | Satan''s answer is,"Doth Job fear God for naught? |
36269 | Sins? |
36269 | So say the priesthood now; but where is the evidence of his virtue? |
36269 | Some of the most weighty and vital facts(?) |
36269 | Supposing Adam to have at once disobeyed this injunction, would it have been sin? |
36269 | Supposing for a moment this to be correct, I ask what even then will be the state of the argument? |
36269 | Supposing the development of the child had been then stopped, had it a soul at that time? |
36269 | The Jesus of the third gospel never went into Egypt at all in his childhood; perhaps there were two Jesus Christs? |
36269 | The faculty of whom? |
36269 | The orthodox say that the soul is made by God; and what do you know about God? |
36269 | The question is again before us: How are men to be prevented from starving? |
36269 | The question, then, really is this: Have the different races of men all found their common parent in Noah, about 4,300 years ago? |
36269 | The reason of law declared the maniac not a free agent, and the verdict follows, of course_ Not guilty?_ Did Adam sin? |
36269 | The reason of law declared the maniac not a free agent, and the verdict follows, of course_ Not guilty?_ Did Adam sin? |
36269 | Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?" |
36269 | Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? |
36269 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? |
36269 | Then you will admit that your stream runs from a polluted fountain? |
36269 | There are few who now pretend that the whole_ creation(? |
36269 | There can not be perfect intelligence without will, but has God will? |
36269 | They are not starved, but is this sort of asphyxiation much better? |
36269 | This question, Were Adam and Eve our first parents? |
36269 | To Adam and Eve, or rather to Noah and his family? |
36269 | To try the actual value of this argument, it is not unfair to ask, Do Theists ever steal? |
36269 | WERE ADAM AND EVE OUR FIRST PARENTS? |
36269 | WHAT DID JESUS TEACH? |
36269 | WHO WAS JESUS CHRIST? |
36269 | WHY DO MEN STARVE? |
36269 | Warned by the past, ought we not to- day to give battle to that curse of all old countries-- poverty? |
36269 | Was Jesus the son of God? |
36269 | Was he a good citizen? |
36269 | Was he a good king? |
36269 | Was he a kind and constant husband? |
36269 | Was he grateful to those who aided him in his hour of need? |
36269 | Was not Esau a merciful, generous man? |
36269 | Was not Jacob a mean, prevaricating knave, a crafty, abject cheat? |
36269 | Weakness and ignorance have said it-- but why? |
36269 | Were Adam and Eve our first parents? |
36269 | What are 270,000 men when looked at prayerfully? |
36269 | What can be understood by"first cause?" |
36269 | What causes produce a rise and fall in wages? |
36269 | What debts have you to God? |

30203 | Does he accept the New Testament miracles? |

30203 | Is it logical to select all you admire in Christian countries and attribute it to Christianity? |
30203 | Is it not Christian reputations that are smirched in that Inquisition? |
30203 | Is it not a fact that Jesus Christ himself could not select his apostles without including a villain? |
30203 | Is it not a fact that their profession of Christianity is usually in proportion to the depth of their rascality? |
30203 | Is it not a special insult to the multitude of poor, struggling women, whose earnings are taxed to support the classes who lord it over them? |
30203 | Is it not disgraceful that, at this time of day, there should be any need to discuss a"living wage"for the workers in a_ Christian_ civilisation? |

30203 | Is not thought most vigorous when the brain is mature? |
30203 | Is there a reference here to the twelfth verse of the nineteenth chapter of Matthew? |
30203 | Is there no medium? |
30203 | Is there not"a sort of a smack, a smell to"of them in your godly constitution? |
30203 | It is a"converted infidel"case, in the report of a recent sermon-- the last of a series on"Is Christianity Played Out?" |
30203 | It is dangerous to deny any"great truth,"but how many does evangelicalism possess? |
30203 | It is easy to ask"Is there a future life?" |
30203 | Le Gallienne''s reply to this objection is clear, sufficient, and well expressed:--"But how so? |
30203 | May it not be, therefore, that the difference between Agnosticism and Atheism is one of temperament? |
30203 | May it not have been red, yellow, blue, or green-- especially green? |
30203 | May it not have been, at least with respect to the cerebrum, quite infinitesimal? |
30203 | Might we not even reflect that he was graduating for a strait- waistcoat? |
30203 | Mrs. Bonner adds that her demerits are beside the point, which is,"Did Mr. Bradlaugh weaken in his Atheism?" |
30203 | Must the passions be kings or slaves, in prison or on the throne? |
30203 | No doubt he believes this statement, but is it true? |
30203 | No doubt the seat was rather incommodious, but why should a ghost sit at all? |
30203 | No one equals the Yankee at"tall talk,"and what Yankee equals Talmage in this species of composition? |
30203 | Now what is belief? |
30203 | Now what were the crimes of the three other members, who were completely and absolutely expelled? |
30203 | Now what_ is_ this humanitarian Christianity of Christ? |
30203 | Of what use then was the bribe? |
30203 | Or does he mean that the"sects"comprise all persons who have more theology than himself? |
30203 | Or has the spirit of this sceptical age invaded the clerical ranks so thoroughly as to make them ashamed of their printed doctrines? |
30203 | Or is the stomach of a ghost capable of digesting such victuals? |
30203 | Other writers then joined in the fray, and the result was the famous"Is Christianity Played Out?" |
30203 | Our theory is that the Whitechapel murderer is------"Whom?" |
30203 | Shall I hate my own boy because I disbelieve that Jesus Christ was born without a father? |
30203 | Shall I keep him without food and clothes because I see no proof of a special providence? |
30203 | Should he not rejoice in the next bloody cockpit of featherless bipeds? |
30203 | Should the jury decide according to the eminence of the pleader''s friends, or according to his facts and the force of his reasoning? |
30203 | Should we not look at him with curiosity and amusement? |
30203 | Sir G. G. Stokes begins by promising to confine himself to the question,"What is it that personal identity depends upon and consists in?" |
30203 | So are all principles in intricate cases; why else have Christian divines written so many tons of casuistry? |
30203 | Some of those Inquisition records he translates, apparently fancying he is making a revelation, though? |
30203 | Soon after the_ Daily Chronicle_ correspondence on"Is Christianity Played Out?" |
30203 | Still more ridiculous, if possible, is the Christian cry,"Where are your Freethought hospitals, almshouses, and orphanages?" |
30203 | Still more, why do you congratulate the survivors? |
30203 | Supposing all this to be true, what does it prove? |
30203 | The man, we repeat, was an open, nay a militant Atheist; and again we ask, What do the clergy make of this phenomenon? |
30203 | The only dispute was-- which were the heretics, and who should die? |
30203 | The point was this, Did the writing-- the_ last_ writing-- of Mr. Bradlaugh show the slightest change in his Atheism? |
30203 | The question is, How did he come to let these faculties play upon ghosts and gods? |
30203 | The question is, What is its explanation? |
30203 | The single query"Why should they trouble themselves?" |
30203 | The very publicans demand compensation, and could the sky- pilots do less? |
30203 | The villain of the"Promise of May"is certainly an Agnostic, but are not the villains of many other plays Christians? |
30203 | The whole mystery of life, he says, may be found in a curve: as thus, Why is n''t it straight? |
30203 | Then what becomes of your"purely_ Christian_ conception,"when"infidel France"outshines"Christian England"? |
30203 | Then why do you lament over them? |
30203 | They both speak to me as Christians; is it for me to say that the one is a Christian and the other is not? |
30203 | They solemnly inform us that Esau was a trickster, as though Jacob''s qualities were catching? |
30203 | They_ would_ be free, and who should say them nay? |
30203 | To say as Dr. Schmidt does that"Christian ideas filled the air"is easy enough, but where is the proof? |
30203 | To talk of a risen Christ was to invite the question"Where is he?" |
30203 | Turning to these Councils, then, what do we find? |
30203 | Very likely; but who could lose what he never possessed? |
30203 | Was it because the Northern and Western nations were cowardly and selfish? |
30203 | Was not the strength of Freethinkers, from Jeremy Bentham downwards, given to the abolition movement? |
30203 | We are not aware that men have souls, but if they have, why should any soul be_ lost_? |
30203 | We are not aware that there is a God, but if there is, why should he_ let_ any soul be lost? |
30203 | We may imagine a ghost going through a keyhole, but is it possible to imagine broiled fish and honeycomb going through the same aperture? |
30203 | We should be sorry to charge such a holy body of men with duplicity, but is there not"a sort of a smack, a smell to?" |
30203 | Well, and who made them lords over us? |
30203 | Well, as the old lady said, who would have thought it? |

38099 | Now, I ask, whether it was unreasonable for the Jews to suggest that a little meat would be very gratefully received? |
38099 | Now, after concluding to make"an helpmeet"for Adam, what did the Lord God do? |
38099 | On which of the six days was he created? |
38099 | Robert Collyer suggests"nourish a bank of violets?" |
38099 | Should we imagine that he was divinely inspired because he gave to the Jews what the Egyptians had given him? |
38099 | That Jehovah really endeavored to induce Adam to take one of the lower animals as an helpmeet for him? |
38099 | That all his bones were formed as they now are, and all the relations of nerve, ligament, brain and motion as they are to- day? |
38099 | The Euphrates still journeys to the gulf, but where are Pison, Gihon and the mighty Heddekel? |

38099 | The next question is, how many beasts, fowls and creeping things did Noah take into the ark? |
38099 | The question, then arises, whether within the last six thousand years there have been such upheavals and displacements? |
38099 | Then why did he say anything upon these subjects? |
38099 | Thereupon, Moses returned unto the Lord and said"Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? |
38099 | Unless the Lord God was looking for an helpmeet for Adam, why did he cause the animals to pass before him? |
38099 | Upon what food did he subsist before his conversation with Eve? |
38099 | Was he envious of the success of the Egyptian magicians? |
38099 | Was he so ignorant of the structure of the human mind as to believe all honest doubt a crime? |
38099 | Was it not possible for him to make such a convincing display of his power as to silence forever the voice of unbelief? |
38099 | Was it right for God not only to uphold, but to command the infamous traffic in human flesh? |
38099 | Was that, too, a geologic period covering thousands of ages? |
38099 | Was the Lord God compelled to take a part of the man because he had used up all the original"nothing"out of which the universe was made? |

38809 | A thousand theories were born of want; a thousand theories were born of the fertile brain of trouble; and these people said,"After all, what is money? |
38809 | Ah, but, says this same gentleman, what gives our money-- our silver-- its value? |
38809 | And I want you to think one moment, just one moment: What was this country when the first Republican President was elected? |
38809 | And how did they fix the ratio? |
38809 | And how much currency and specie would that leave for us in the United States? |
38809 | And if the Government can create money, how much should it create, and if it should create it who will get it? |
38809 | And is McKinley a tried man? |
38809 | And the owner of the hat said,"What for?" |
38809 | And the question is, which section in this country can you trust to collect and disburse that revenue? |
38809 | And thereupon the poor debtor says,"How is that going to help me?" |
38809 | And what did our President say? |
38809 | And what did they say? |
38809 | And what do we become? |
38809 | And what do we owe? |
38809 | And what does that mean? |
38809 | And what else would happen? |
38809 | And what else? |
38809 | And what else? |
38809 | And what else? |
38809 | And what else? |
38809 | And what else? |
38809 | And what had these persons done? |
38809 | And what has been the result? |
38809 | And what has made us such a great and splendid and progressive and sensible people? |
38809 | And what more did these men say? |
38809 | And what more did they say? |
38809 | And what more? |
38809 | And what next did this convention do? |
38809 | And what shall I say more of the regiment before me? |
38809 | And what shall I say to you, survivors of the death- filled days? |
38809 | And what was the next? |
38809 | And who owns a great picture or a great statue? |
38809 | And why did they do it? |
38809 | And why did they do this? |
38809 | And why do these gentlemen ask for the trade of the world? |
38809 | And why not? |
38809 | And why ought we to be in favor of silver? |
38809 | And why should I hate the rich? |
38809 | And why should it stop at exactly one dollar and twenty- nine cents? |
38809 | And why should we array class against class? |
38809 | And why should we depreciate one of our own products by saying that we will not take it as money? |
38809 | And why should we hate the successful? |
38809 | And why the greatest? |
38809 | And why was that? |
38809 | And why? |
38809 | And why? |
38809 | Any use of your talking about being a sovereign partner? |
38809 | Are they in favor of being protected? |
38809 | Are we not getting rich? |
38809 | Are you a Democrat? |
38809 | Are you not more than glad that in 1776 was announced the sublime principle that political power resides with the people? |
38809 | Are you sorry that these assassins were defeated in 1868? |
38809 | As a specimen of bluntness and clearness, take the following extracts: How shall the Government make these notes at all times as good as specie? |
38809 | But let me ask, for my own information, if they corner gold what will prevent their cornering silver? |
38809 | But now the question was, to whom did the newly acquired property belong? |
38809 | But suppose the Governor will not call for assistance, what then? |
38809 | But suppose the Legislature will not do it, what then? |
38809 | But the question now, as we look back, is, was this country worth saving? |
38809 | But to come back to my question, what have we done since 1860? |
38809 | But what did you say a little while ago? |
38809 | But what have we got to do? |
38809 | But what of those who fell? |
38809 | But, after all, do you know that money is the most social thing in this world? |
38809 | By giving it to the South or North; to the Democracy or to the Republican party? |
38809 | Can any human being think of any reason? |
38809 | Can it be left in any way to the Supreme Court, or shall the Executive decide it himself? |
38809 | Can our Government obtain information only through the official sources? |
38809 | Can we forget everything except the heroic sacrifices of the men who saved this Government? |
38809 | Can we say to the South,"Let us be brothers"? |
38809 | Can we trust them? |
38809 | Can we? |
38809 | Can you trust it to Alabama or to New York? |
38809 | Can you trust it to the South or can you trust it to the great and splendid North? |
38809 | Can you trust it to the gentlemen of Mississippi or to the gentlemen of Massachusetts? |
38809 | Can you trust the gentlemen who invented the tissue ballot? |
38809 | Can you trust them? |
38809 | Could we have safely trusted that party in 1868? |
38809 | Could we have safely trusted the Democratic party in 1860? |
38809 | Democrats, do n''t you wish we had treated you that way during the war? |
38809 | Did General Hancock believe in State Sovereignty when he was at Gettysburg? |
38809 | Did he leave them in a beautiful home, surrounded by civilization, in the repose of law, in the security of a great and powerful republic? |
38809 | Did his heart beat quicker? |

38809 | Did they allow any of them to fight in the army? |
38809 | Did they free any of the negroes? |
38809 | Did they issue summons, and have a trial? |
38809 | Did they let any of these negroes fight? |
38809 | Did they make them citizens? |
38809 | Did they permit any of them to vote? |
38809 | Did you ever hear anybody talk about a War Republican? |
38809 | Did you ever think about it? |
38809 | Did you ever think of the deft and cunning hands, of the wonderfully accurate brains, that can make a thing like that? |
38809 | Did you say we could resume? |
38809 | Do n''t you wish you had lived then, my friend Democrat? |
38809 | Do n''t you wish you had prosecuted the war as our fathers prosecuted the Revolution? |
38809 | Do the men that fought at Gettysburg still believe in State Sovereignty? |
38809 | Do they think the South loves him? |
38809 | Do you believe that there was, on the average, any more drunkenness in this country before the tax was put on than there is now? |
38809 | Do you know how much good we did? |
38809 | Do you know that the words cheap money are a contradiction in terms? |
38809 | Do you know, if they had wanted it we could not have given it to them? |
38809 | Do you want to trust such men? |
38809 | Do you wish to put the ballot- box in the keeping of the shot- gun, of the White- Liners, of the Ku Klux? |
38809 | Does he want to be a failure? |
38809 | Does it believe in sunrise, or does it keep its back to the sacred east of eternal progress? |
38809 | Does it wish to make the world grander and better and freer? |
38809 | Does that require patriotism? |
38809 | Elect Bryan, come to the silver standard, and what would happen? |
38809 | Every lot in this city that was worth five thousand and that is now worth two thousand-- do you know what is the matter with that lot? |
38809 | Every man that had committed murder-- that had taken up arms against America, or voted the Democratic or Tory ticket? |
38809 | Gold will go out of circulation, and what next would happen? |
38809 | Has it a high ideal? |
38809 | Has its value been changed? |
38809 | Has the Senate alone the right to determine it? |
38809 | Has the South changed? |
38809 | Has the United States the right to protect commerce between the States? |
38809 | Have we any excuse for being thieves? |
38809 | Have we any excuse for failing to pay the debt? |
38809 | Have we developed the mind? |
38809 | Have we endeavored to civilize the heart? |
38809 | Have we endeavored to develop the brain? |
38809 | Have we in other directions kept pace with our physical development? |
38809 | Have we kept up in other ways? |
38809 | He was found guilty, and the judge asked him,"What have you to say that sentence of death shall not be pronounced on you?" |
38809 | Honor bright-- honor bright, is there any freedom of speech in the South? |
38809 | Honor bright? |
38809 | How are we going to do it? |
38809 | How can money be too good? |

38809 | How is this to be done? |
38809 | How many Democrats wrote letters during the war declaring that the North never could conquer the South? |
38809 | How many wrote letters to the soldiers in the army telling them to shed no more fraternal blood in that suicidal and unchristian war? |
38809 | How much are they worth? |
38809 | How much do you suppose the raw material lying in the earth was worth that was changed into that locomotive? |
38809 | How much do you suppose this Nation is worth to- day? |
38809 | How much is a ton of iron worth in the ground? |
38809 | How much is the Republic worth? |
38809 | How much? |
38809 | How much? |
38809 | How was this done? |
38809 | How would you have it? |
38809 | How, Mr. Bryanite, how do you account for that? |
38809 | How? |
38809 | I ask you to- night, is not every solitary man here in favor of free speech? |
38809 | I do not care where he was born; I simply ask, Is he a man? |
38809 | I met him one morning, and he looked very sad, and I said to him,"Uncle, what is the matter?" |
38809 | I say, can you trust the ballot- box to the Democratic party? |
38809 | I want the taxes taken from tobacco and whiskey; and why? |
38809 | I want to preserve free speech, and, as an honest man, I look about me and I say,"How can I best preserve it?" |
38809 | If everything is to be left to the blind and heartless working of the laws of supply and demand, why have governments? |

38809 | Is he willing to give to others what he claims for himself? |
38809 | Is it a legal tender? |
38809 | Is it possible for the mind to conceive anything more absurd than that the Government can create money? |
38809 | Is it the non- producing thief, sitting on a throne, surrounded by vermin? |
38809 | Is not this a vile abolition document? |
38809 | Is not this perfectly splendid? |
38809 | Is that not enough to make a Democrat sick? |
38809 | Is that the doctrine and the idea of the Northern Democratic party? |
38809 | Is that the spirit in which a nation like this should be governed? |
38809 | Is there a man here who in his heart regrets that the Democrats failed in 1868? |

38809 | Is there any use of talking about being equal partners any longer? |
38809 | Is there no time when the soldiers of progress can rest? |
38809 | Is there one man present who, to- day, regrets that the Vallandigham Democracy of 1864 was spurned and beaten by the American people? |
38809 | Is there one man present who, to- day, regrets the utter defeat of that mixture of slavery, malice and meanness, called the Democratic party, in 1864? |
38809 | It is a legal tender; now pound it into a cube, and how much is it worth? |
38809 | It is not possible that our fathers ever interfered with the writ of_ habeas corpus_, is it? |
38809 | It knocks at the door for admission, and what is the question asked by this administration? |
38809 | It takes no more ink and no more paper-- why not make one thousand dollar bills? |
38809 | Jackson was a Democrat? |
38809 | Let me tell you? |
38809 | Mr. Bryan says,"Vote for cheap money to pay your debts,"and thereupon the creditor says,"What is to become of me?" |
38809 | Mr. Greenbacker, suppose the Government issued a billion dollars to- morrow, how would you get any of it? |
38809 | Mulidore, are you a Christian?'' |
38809 | Must it be left to Congress? |
38809 | Must it wait until the Legislature calls for assistance to help it stop robbing and plundering citizens of the United States? |
38809 | Must our Government wait until the Government asks the proofs, while the State tramples upon the rights of the citizens? |
38809 | Must we wage this war for the right forever? |
38809 | Not"Have you the land, have you the wealth, have you the men and women?" |
38809 | Now, honor bright, which section of this Union can you trust the ballot- box with? |
38809 | Now, if the Government can make money itself, why should it collect taxes from the poor? |
38809 | Now, my friends, what is there about this great Republican party? |
38809 | Now, my friends, what was the Democratic party doing when the Republican party was doing these splendid things? |
38809 | Now, some people say to me,"How long are you going to preach the doctrine of hate?" |
38809 | Now, the question is: Can Congress make fifty cents''worth of silver worth one dollar? |
38809 | Now, then, was there any necessity, during this war, to follow the example of our fathers? |
38809 | Now, then, which section of this country will be the more apt to carry these ideas into execution? |
38809 | Now, what did our fathers do? |
38809 | Now, what do we want to do? |
38809 | Now, what is a banker? |
38809 | Now, why? |
38809 | Now, will you let us be your friends?" |
38809 | Of what use is it to allow the jury to bring in a verdict of"not guilty,"if the defendant is to be hung by a mob? |
38809 | Oh, I forgot to ask the question,"If the Government can make money why should it collect taxes?" |
38809 | One billion five hundred million dollars, and what is the condition of the country? |
38809 | Or are you going to have it so poor that it will not be worth cornering? |
38809 | Preacher, when I come to that day of judgment they will say,''What is your name?'' |
38809 | Seven long years of war-- fighting for what? |
38809 | Shall I recount their sufferings? |
38809 | Shall Mr. Bryan be the next President or shall McKinley occupy that chair? |
38809 | Shall the men that said, This is not a Nation, have charge of the Nation? |
38809 | Shall the men who saved the old flag hold it? |
38809 | Shall the men who saved the ship of State sail it, or shall the rebels walk her quarter- deck, give the orders and sink it? |
38809 | Shall the procession stop? |
38809 | Shall we wait for the other fellows to catch up? |
38809 | Some people have said,"How is it that you support Garfield, when he was a minister?" |
38809 | Standing here amid the sacred memories of the first, on the golden threshold of the second, I ask, Will the second century be as grand as the first? |
38809 | Suppose that the State does not do it; what then I say? |
38809 | Suppose that we had done that during the last war? |
38809 | Suppose the Governors and every man trample upon your rights, is the Nation then to let you be trampled upon? |
38809 | Take all the men of wealth from Scotland-- who would know it? |
38809 | That is not the worst of it, either; for after he got these negroes into the army he made a speech to them, and what did he say in that speech? |
38809 | That is what it did, and what else? |
38809 | That our fathers then made up their minds nevermore to be colonists and subjects, but that they would be free and independent citizens of America? |
38809 | The fact that it is a legal tender? |
38809 | The first is, Shall the people that saved this country rule it? |
38809 | The man who bought it? |
38809 | The moral side of this question? |
38809 | The next question is, Shall we pay our debts? |
38809 | The next question is, who shall have possession of this country-- the men that saved it,--or the men that sought to destroy it? |
38809 | The next question is, will we protect the Union men in the South? |
38809 | The next question is: Suppose the Government should issue a thousand millions of fiat money, how would it regulate the value thereof? |
38809 | The present question is, whom shall we trust? |
38809 | The question is, Shall that tramp and that dog gain possession of the White House? |
38809 | The question is, Shall the men who endeavored to destroy this country rule it? |
38809 | The question is, can you and I forget the past? |
38809 | The question is,"How?" |
38809 | The question was put to us in 1861:"Shall the majority rule?" |
38809 | Then there is another question, and that is whether the Government has a right to protect itself? |
38809 | Then who shall say what shall be done with what is produced except the producer? |
38809 | There is another thing: Why is this city filled with palaces, covered with wealth? |
38809 | There is another thing; do you want a Government of law or of brute force? |
38809 | There they were, of every sort, and color and kind, and how was it that they came together? |
38809 | They carried transparencies that said,"Is there money enough in the land to pay this nigger debt? |
38809 | They did not interfere with the freedom of the press, did they? |
38809 | They made the ratio 15 to 1, and who did it? |
38809 | They said, why did we not appeal to law? |
38809 | To a man who begs of you a breakfast you can not say,"Why do n''t you get a farm?" |
38809 | To whom are we indebted for this wonderful change? |
38809 | To whom shall we give the reins of power? |
38809 | Upon whom would he rely? |
38809 | Was he filled with enthusiasm? |
38809 | Was it a Grand Jury? |
38809 | Was it a Justice of the Peace? |
38809 | Was it his sovereignty that made it valuable? |
38809 | Was it not low- lived and contemptible? |
38809 | Was that honest? |
38809 | Was the blood shed in vain? |
38809 | Was the country worth saving? |
38809 | Well, can not we make dollars out of silver? |
38809 | Well, if it is, what''s the use of wasting it making one dollar bills? |
38809 | Well, we grew magnanimous, and let Dodds out of Fort Lafayette; and where do you suppose Dodds is now? |
38809 | Well, what is a dollar? |
38809 | Well, why do n''t you take it? |

38809 | Will an honest man do it? |
38809 | Will he rely on"a human intelligence at the helm,"or on"the central reservoir,"or on some"gradual and safe process"? |
38809 | Will the Nation hear only the cry of the oppressor, or will it heed the cry of the oppressed? |
38809 | Will the bugles of the great army of civilization never sound even a halt? |
38809 | Wipe their names from the pages of history, and who would miss them? |
38809 | Would he like to be rich? |
38809 | Would he like to have a million? |
38809 | Would n''t a Democrat have had a hard scramble for victuals if we had carried out that idea? |
38809 | Would our fathers have been brutal enough, if he had not been killed, to put him back into slavery? |
38809 | Would that farmer pay his debt with five hundred bushels and consider himself an honest man? |
38809 | Yes, we have, and what are you Democrats going to do about it? |
38809 | You might as well say,"Why do n''t you start a line of steamships?" |
38809 | [ A Voice--"How about Longstreet?"] |
38809 | [ A voice--"Who was the man?"] |
38809 | [ A voice:"How about free schools?"] |
38809 | [ A voice:"Who was that?"] |
38809 | and also the balance of that question:"Shall the minority submit?" |
38809 | but"Are you Democratic or Republican?" |
38809 | i, p. 22, Do you hear that, Democrat? |
38804 | Saying, where is he that is born king of the Jews? 38804 When Jesus saw him he and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him:''Wilt thou be made whole??'' |
38804 | When Jesus saw him he and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him:''Wilt thou be made whole??'' 38804 A cardinal looking at the picture said to the artist:Whoever saw angels with sandals?" |
38804 | After all, why should we worship our ignorance, why should we kneel to the Unknown, why should we prostrate ourselves before a guess? |
38804 | Again I ask: By whose permission did they enter into the man? |
38804 | Again I ask: Was it necessary for the devils to get the permission of Christ before they could enter swine? |
38804 | Among savages do we not find that their vices and cruelties are the fruits of their superstitions? |
38804 | And do n''t you know that they would allow thousands and millions to die for want of breath, if they could not pay for air? |
38804 | And he answered:"Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?" |
38804 | And let me ask, to- night: Is the world forever to remain as it was when Lear made his prayer? |
38804 | And then I asked myself: What is force? |
38804 | And what do you do with him? |
38804 | And what is the result? |
38804 | And when I think of what has been suffered-- of the centuries of agony and tears, I ask: Is it possible for man to forgive God? |
38804 | And why do I say this? |
38804 | And why? |
38804 | Angelo answered with another question:"Whoever saw an angel barefooted?" |
38804 | Another question: Did the Pharisees believe in the existence of devils, or had they the personification idea? |

38804 | Are not the facts in the mental world just as stubborn-- just as necessarily produced-- as the facts in the material world? |
38804 | Are people devoured by personifications or myths? |
38804 | Are the failures under obligation to their creator? |
38804 | Are the heavens a real place? |
38804 | Are the rich always to be divided from the poor,--not only in fact, but in feeling? |
38804 | Are there always to be millions whose lips are white with famine? |
38804 | Are these devils immortal or do they multiply and die? |
38804 | Are these personifications entities? |
38804 | Are they a personification? |
38804 | Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" |
38804 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
38804 | But how is it with us? |
38804 | But let me ask the clergy a few questions: How did your Devil, who was at one time an angel of light, come to sin? |
38804 | But they say,"If you give up these superstitions, what have you left?" |
38804 | But where is this heaven, and where is this hell? |

38804 | Can we prevent this Missouri of ignorance and vice from emptying into the Mississippi of civilization? |
38804 | Can we receive virtue or honor as alms? |
38804 | Can we rely on the historical parts of the Bible? |
38804 | Can we say that he cared for the children of men? |
38804 | Can we say that his mercy endureth forever? |
38804 | Can we say that in the heart of this God there blossomed the flower of pity? |
38804 | Can we think of a being without form, without body, without parts, without passions? |
38804 | Christ asked the father:"How long is it ago since this came unto him?" |
38804 | Cosmas said the earth was flat; if it was round how could men on the other side at the day of judgment see the coming of the Lord? |
38804 | Could he have avoided being good? |
38804 | Could he know that the visitor was an angel? |
38804 | Could it have done this had it only been a personification of evil? |
38804 | Could personifications of evil enter a herd of swine, or could personifications of evil make a bargain with Christ? |
38804 | Could such a promise be regarded as evidence? |
38804 | Could these countries have been worse without religion? |
38804 | Could they have been worse had they had any other religion than Christianity? |
38804 | Could this God have avoided being God? |
38804 | Did Christ believe in the existence of the Devil? |
38804 | Did Christ or any of his apostles add to the sum of useful knowledge? |

38804 | Did infinite goodness create the countless worthless living things that breed within and feed upon the flesh of higher forms? |
38804 | Did infinite goodness fashion the wings of the eagles so that their fleeing prey could be overtaken? |
38804 | Did infinite wisdom intentionally produce the microscopic beasts that feed upon the optic nerve? |
38804 | Did it accomplish this result through the Inquisition-- by the use of the thumb- screw, the rack and the fagot? |
38804 | Did it do this by torturing heretics-- by extinguishing their eyes-- by flaying them alive? |
38804 | Did it in some way paralyze his organs of speech? |
38804 | Did the angel put medicine in the water-- just enough to cure one? |
38804 | Did the earth exist before the sun? |
38804 | Did the wild beasts live and did the angels minister unto Christ? |
38804 | Did the writer of the account try to convey to the reader the thought that Christ was tempted by the Devil? |
38804 | Did they add to the intellectual wealth of the world? |
38804 | Did they discover or show us how to produce anything for food? |
38804 | Did they do that without Christ''s consent, and is it a fact that Christ protects swine and neglects human beings? |

45414 | Do you understand that? |
45414 | Does God doubt? |
45414 | Does he investigate, compare, and test matters by experiment? |
45414 | Does he need a smaller hell to taper off on, before he can give up hell altogether? |

45414 | Having thus successfully responded to the interrogatory, What is the soul? |
45414 | He said,"My brethren, we will first inquire where the Devil he was walking to? |
45414 | Hear now, O house of Israel; is not my way equal? |
45414 | His own garments had been taken by the soldiery when he died, that the scripture might be fulfilled(? |

45414 | If a living person was placed in an air- tight jar, and the jar sealed hermetically, at death how would the soul make its exit? |
45414 | If he has and is the God of all worlds, why does he not now give back to the widow her son? |
45414 | If he is as terribly demoniacal as orthodox theology describes him,"why in''l do n''t God kill the Devil?" |
45414 | If he were able to effect his purposes why should he construct a vessel with which to visit far off lands? |
45414 | If man possessed the power to speak into existence a steamship, would he contrive, plan and use means to construct it? |
45414 | If not, how can a God manipulate an infinite universe and be infinite''Himself?'' |
45414 | If not, of what use would the soul be? |
45414 | If so, how can it be irrational to deny an irrational proposition or absurdity? |
45414 | If the book and my brain are both the work of the same infinite God, whose fault is it that the book and the brain do not agree? |
45414 | If the soul is located in all parts of the body what becomes of that part of the soul contained in an amputated part of a living body? |
45414 | If the soul leaves the body at death, where does it sojourn while waiting for the resurrection morn? |
45414 | In another place he says,"Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?" |
45414 | In fact even if it were true, how could any one have ever found it out? |
45414 | In reply I said,"Do you see that man walking on the other side of the street?" |
45414 | In the light of modern theology is not the Devil almost always successful? |

45414 | Is all this no loss? |
45414 | Is ignorance a gracious boon in mercy sent? |
45414 | Is it legitimate to accept its evidence when we please and reject it when we please?'' |
45414 | Is it no loss to hold back when truth oversteps the line of orthodoxy, and when there ought to be free discussion, to shrink before we know not what? |
45414 | Is it not natural that the sincere Christian, having the power, should suppress such opinions? |
45414 | Is it not plain that each of them professes to trace the lineal descent of one and the same man, Joseph? |
45414 | Is it not strange that some one in the Old Testament did not stand by an open grave of father or mother and say,"We shall meet again"? |
45414 | Is it not true that he who invented the plow was a greater man than Moses? |
45414 | Is it nothing to feel that the human beings that surround us are children of the devil and heirs of hell? |

45414 | Is the soul sensible or insensible to pain? |
45414 | Is there a conscious intelligence at work guiding all the affairs of this world? |
45414 | Is there a display of intelligence and benevolent design in creating man with strength and wisdom to slaughter his prey at will? |
45414 | Is there a supreme intelligence which causes monstrosities, sends epidemics, horrid diseases, plants parasites upon the human body? |
45414 | Is there any place in the record, accounts of the Devil''s stealing, robbing, and murdering? |
45414 | Is there not something in matter that forever eludes you? |
45414 | Is there nothing to be thrown into the opposite scale? |
45414 | Is there, let me ask, anything like agreement among the creeds? |
45414 | Is, then, the Bible a different book to every human being who reads it? |
45414 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
45414 | Know ye not that we shall judge angels? |
45414 | Let us ask, is the balance of profit and loss fairly struck? |
45414 | Must not that be false which requires for its support so much imposture, so much barbarity? |
45414 | Not always; but even suppose it were true, did not Jesus reject the religion of his mother? |
45414 | Nothing? |

45414 | Will they contend that children are inherently an evil? |
45414 | Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar? |
45414 | Yes, but you admit by this statement that you know now positively nothing of a conscious intelligence ruling the universe, why not say so? |
45414 | Yes; but do not Christians hurt our feelings? |
45414 | an existence or a condition? |
45414 | and how long could they survive if they were even there, and how could they find their way back to their former habitats? |
45414 | and in thy name cast out devils? |

43550 | 16), as David says he is present everywhere, even in hell? |
43550 | 164. Who told Jesus the centurion''s servant was sick? |

43550 | After being interrogated as to their conduct and practical lives, the next question will be,"Where were you born?" |
43550 | Again: why is a mother''s loving, watchful care ever exercised for the protection and welfare of her child? |
43550 | And as sex also implies offspring, we desire to ask, how many children have they had? |
43550 | And can it be right and laudable to thus represent or Image the works of the Creator, and wrong to image the Creator himself? |
43550 | And did he not set a bad example by showing partiality, as there is no reason assigned for preferring Abel''s offering? |
43550 | And have they ever been divorced? |
43550 | And how could"whosoever"know what the mark meant? |
43550 | And how has this promise been fulfilled? |
43550 | And if such a talented and logical mind could find no reason, consistency, or moral principle in the dogmas of orthodoxy, we may readily ask, Who can? |

43550 | And what does all this prove? |
43550 | And what is the moral condition of five- sixths of the human family now, who never had our Bible? |
43550 | And what is the moral, or lesson, taught by these things? |
43550 | And what is the result? |
43550 | And what is the solemn lesson taught by it? |
43550 | And what would have been the result if he had not been found? |
43550 | And where was the law during all that time? |
43550 | And where was the"all scripture given by inspiration of God"at the end of this revolutionary and demolishing clerical crusade? |
43550 | And whether they are all boys? |
43550 | And who was this"whosoever,"when he himself had killed off the whole human race, excepting his father and mother? |
43550 | And why did he have the moon stopped at midday, when it could not be seen, and was, perhaps, on the opposite side of the globe? |
43550 | And why not? |
43550 | And why? |
43550 | And would it not be unjust to punish Adam and Eve for doing what he himself had implanted in them the desire to do? |
43550 | And would not this virtually make heaven a lunatic asylum, and consequently a very unsuitable and disagreeable place to live in? |
43550 | And, if he came down, who did he leave in his place? |
43550 | And, if he did know it, would it not make him accountable for the murder? |

43550 | Brother Methodist, perhaps you can do something towards settling this vexed and puzzling question,"What must we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
43550 | Brother Persian, the question is, Where is"the scripture given by inspiration of God"? |
43550 | Brothers of the religion of Iran, can you tell us what to do and believe in order to be saved? |
43550 | But could a person be more damned than to believe in such a religion? |
43550 | But how could this"whosoever"know what the mark meant? |
43550 | But is it true that the whole human race was in that state at that period? |
43550 | But who can not see it was not necessary for him to do either to save his reputation and his life, both of which it appears were at stake? |
43550 | But who is to decide when it is properly understood? |
43550 | But why not worship other Gods( that is, beings supposed to represent or resemble God)? |
43550 | But, in a broader sense, there are two hundred answers to the question, Where are we to find"the only scriptures given by inspiration of God"? |

43550 | It may be asked here, Why is it, then, that both religion and morality prosper in most countries where the Bible has been introduced? |
43550 | James, can you tell us how many are twice two?" |
43550 | Jealous of what? |
43550 | Jesus refers to this natural Bible, or revelation, again when he say''s,"Know ye not of yourselves what is right?" |
43550 | Let us assume that the numerous cases of death- bed repentance published in religious tracts are all true; and what would it prove? |
43550 | Must it not be mortifying to him to have his blunders thus exposed? |
43550 | Must we assume there is a trinity of Gods? |
43550 | Must we conclude that Jehovah had a carnivorous appetite, which caused him to prefer animals to vegetables for sacrifices? |
43550 | Now, the first question which arises here is, Who told the truth in the case,--Jehovah, or"the father of lies"? |
43550 | Now, we ask seriously, Do not the foregoing facts and arguments show that there is no moral or religious necessity for a divine revelation to man? |
43550 | Now, what is this but a premium offered for treachery and cold- blooded murder? |
43550 | Now, where on earth is the tribunal to which we can appeal to find out which of these translations is right? |
43550 | Now, who is to settle the question as to which of these translations is the right one? |
43550 | Of what tribe was Solomon''s artificer, who came from Tyre? |
43550 | Or can one be pleasing to him, and the other offensive? |

43550 | Supposing the people prefer a golden calf, as the Jews did under the leadership of Aaron, in the name of reason how can it injure either God or man? |
43550 | THE BAPTIST''S ANSWER Brother Baptist, will you give us your opinion, or answer the question,"What shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
43550 | THE question is frequently asked by Bible adherents, What would be the moral condition of society without the Bible? |
43550 | The Holy Zenda Avesta has been circulating for thousands of years; and have you not seen it? |
43550 | The admirers and worshipers of Jesus Christ adore him as a being of absolute perfection,--perfect in intelligence, perfect in wisdom? |
43550 | The first and most important query to which this proposition or assumption gives rise is, Can it be shown to be true? |
43550 | The queries naturally arise here, Where did the raven obtain those articles of food? |
43550 | The question was not, Shall Jehovah succeed, and other Gods fail? |
43550 | The question, then, naturally arises here, Where is the use of erecting standards of faith, when you believe one thing to- day and another to- morrow? |
43550 | The solemn question arises here, then, Who can escape eternal damnation? |
43550 | Their God made the first man with three legs, and amputated one of them to make a"helpmeet for him?" |
43550 | Then why do millions of people devote years to hard mental labor to acquire it? |
43550 | This whole sketch of Mr. Allen''s is very interesting, as it discloses the real causes of infidelity or skepticism in all religion? |
43550 | Thus we are making but little progress toward settling the question, Where is"the scripture given by inspiration of God"? |
43550 | To know whether a thing was right or wrong, they had only to inquire,"Is it taught, or is it forbidden, by the Zenda Avesta?" |

43550 | Was it lawful for the Jews to put Christ to death? |
43550 | Was it necessary for an omnipresent God to come down from heaven to find Adam when he hid among the bushes? |
43550 | Was there ever a more important, more pleasing, or more beautiful revelation made to the world than this of Paul''s? |
43550 | We also beg leave to ask, who took charge of"the house of many mansions"while Jehovah was down among the bushes hunting and hallooing for Adam? |
43550 | We have, then, the Hindoo answer to the question,"What must we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
43550 | We might also ask, Why are"the Lord''s day"and"Sunday"used as synonymous terms? |
43550 | We will illustrate the position of orthodox Christendom: A boy throws up a copper coin, and cries,"Heads, or tails?" |
43550 | We will present some examples:-- 154. Who came to worship Christ when he was born? |
43550 | Well, Moses, can you tell us, as the result of your five years''close study of mathematics, how many are twice two?" |
43550 | Well, Solomon, can you do any thing towards settling the disputed question, how many are twice two?" |
43550 | Well, brother Hindoo, will you be so good as to answer this question,"What shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |

8140 | Kill the old men? |
8140 | Kill the women? |
8140 | Ladies and Gentlemen: For thousands of years men have been asking the questions:"How shall we civilize the world? |
8140 | Must inspiration claim infallibility? |
8140 | Must we believe all these stories in order to get to Heaven when we die? |
8140 | Must we judge of a man''s character by the number of stories he believes? |
8140 | Next, at the marriage of Cana, when He said to the woman,"What have I to do with thee?" |
8140 | No prospective fathers or mothers- in- law; no prying and gossiping neighbors; nobody to say,"Young man, how do you expect to support her?" |

8140 | Now what does the new testament teach? |
8140 | Now, can you believe that? |
8140 | Now, how do you judge of a man? |
8140 | Now, if God wanted to get up a flood big enough to drown sin, why did He not get up a flood big enough to drown the snake? |
8140 | Now, if men have been slaves, if they have crawled in the dust before one another, what shall I say of women? |
8140 | Now, what does the Bible teach? |
8140 | Of these churches we will ask this question:"How can a man who conscientiously believes in religious liberty worship a God who does not?" |
8140 | Of what use have the gods been to man? |
8140 | Omnipotence is simply all powerful, and what good would strength do with nothing? |
8140 | One man said to another:"Will you take a glass of wine?" |
8140 | Or does not each religion claim to be the only one? |
8140 | Or will he appeal to reason, the torch of the mind? |
8140 | Or will you be so good then that you wo n''t care how you used to be? |
8140 | Our fathers denounced materialism and accounted for all phenomena how? |
8140 | Q. I suppose you fully appreciate the religious characteristics of the Song of Solomon? |
8140 | Said I:"Suppose your mother were in hell, would you be happy in heaven then?" |
8140 | Saved from crime? |
8140 | Saved from poverty? |
8140 | Says I:"Do you think a great many people are going to hell?" |
8140 | Says I:"When you get to heaven, then you would be perfectly happy?" |
8140 | Says he:"Do n''t you think He could put in another day to advantage right around here?" |
8140 | Seven other years he did every good deed, and again mounted the steps to heaven, and the voice said:"Who is there?" |
8140 | Shall we reason, or shall we simply believe? |
8140 | She arose and asked,"Who says that?" |
8140 | She marries and loves, and holds in her arms a beautiful child? |
8140 | She said,"What did I tell you?" |
8140 | Should any great credit be given to this deity for not being caught with such chaff? |
8140 | Should not the merciful God practice what he preaches? |
8140 | So they had this young man ask:"What lack I yet?" |
8140 | So they would go into the room and the doctor would feel his pulse and ask him:"Did you drink two pitchers of water?" |

8140 | Some gentleman said,"How about Delaware?" |
8140 | Suppose then that Smith should say to Brown,"You''re a liar,"and Brown should reply to Smith,"And you''re a liar,"what would you think? |
8140 | Suppose we all said that, where would be the progress of the world? |
8140 | Suppose we wanted now to break certain cannibals of eating missionaries-- wanted to stop them from eating them raw? |
8140 | Supposing the blood got on the left toe? |
8140 | Supposing this to be true, what is to become of those who die in infancy? |
8140 | Swing?" |
8140 | That what they are pleased to call the adaptation of means to ends, is as apparent in the cancer as in the April rain? |

8140 | The best test of a man is, how does he use power? |

8140 | The churches point to their decayed saints and their crumbled popes and say,"Do you know more than all the ministers that ever lived?" |
8140 | The grand test question was:"Boys, if it was God''s will that you should go to Hell, would you be willing to go?" |
8140 | The great, the rich, the powerful? |
8140 | The next question then is: Can I commit a sin against God by thinking? |
8140 | The question is"Bad as I am, have I a right to think?" |
8140 | The question with them is not,"What will we do in some other world?" |
8140 | The real question is this: Are we to be governed by a supernatural being, or are we to govern ourselves? |
8140 | The real question is, in the light of science, in the light of the brain and heart of the nineteenth century, is this book true? |
8140 | The voice cried,"Who is there?" |
8140 | Then another thing, why did He want to drown the animals? |
8140 | Then they say to me:"What do you propose? |
8140 | Then what does he teach it to little children for? |
8140 | Then what happened? |
8140 | Then what would it be your duty to do-- kill her? |
8140 | Then where were these Jews? |
8140 | Then why torment him if it will not do him good? |
8140 | Then, after all, you do not pretend that the Scriptures are really inspired? |
8140 | There is none good but one, and that is God, but if thou will enter into eternal life, keep the commandments,''and he said unto Him,''Which?''" |
8140 | These are the men who are in heaven; and who else? |
8140 | They gave us paper, and what is printing without paper? |
8140 | They seem to say:"Aha, what did I tell you?" |
8140 | Think of the amount of thought it must have required to invent a way by which the life of one man might be given to produce one cancer? |
8140 | This sacred book, this foundation of human liberty, of morality, does it teach concubinage and polygamy? |
8140 | This world; where did it come from? |
8140 | To save his life? |
8140 | To the manner in which he was baptized? |
8140 | To what church did he belong? |
8140 | Tyranny? |
8140 | Under such circumstances, what can their thoughts be worth? |
8140 | Under these circumstances what wretched object can he have in lengthening out his aimless life? |
8140 | Under these conditions, all your Scotts, Henrys and McKnights have written; and weighed in these scales what are their commentaries worth? |
8140 | Was ever any imp of any devil guilty of such savagery? |
8140 | Was that really a snake, or was it the appearance of a snake? |

8140 | Will one church have any sympathy with another? |
8140 | Will the religionist pretend that the real end of science is to ascertain how and why God acts? |
8140 | Will you have any remorse for the mean things you have done when you are in heaven? |
8140 | Will you tell me that any God ever commanded such infamy? |
8140 | Would I have a right to torture it because I made it? |
8140 | Would countless ages thus be wasted in the production of awkward forms, afterward abandoned? |
8140 | Would it not be noted if a man had two funerals? |
8140 | Would you stop him at the foot of the mast to find out his opinion on the five points of Calvinism? |
8140 | Yes, we know all that, but is the Old Testament inspired? |
8140 | Yes, we will admit that, but is the Bible inspired? |

38807 | And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up? |
38807 | And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou son of the most high God? 38807 And he asked him, What is thy name? |
38807 | And he said unto her, What form is he of? 38807 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? |
38807 | And when the woman saw Samuel she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? 38807 But is employment always to be had?" |
38807 | But,says this gentleman,"Where do we get the idea of good and bad?" |
38807 | But,says this reverend doctor,"Whence comes this conception of space?" |
38807 | Can he that is himself or any one else say there is no possible relation between one and the other? |
38807 | Did you belong to the church? |

38807 | Now,said Cosmas,"if the world is round, how could the people on the other side see the Lord when he comes?" |
38807 | Pay your debts? |
38807 | Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? 38807 Well, who is to judge?" |
38807 | What am I going to do with you? |
38807 | What were you hung for? |

38807 | A man goes to the day of judgment, and they cross- examine him, and they say to him:"Did you believe the Bible?" |
38807 | According to this account, what was the sun, or rather the earth, stopped for? |
38807 | After all, is it not of more importance to speak the absolute truth? |
38807 | After all, of what use is it to search for a creator? |
38807 | Again he asks:"If one is not responsible for his thought, why is any one blamed for thinking as he does?" |

38807 | And right here it may be well enough to inquire: What is blasphemy? |
38807 | And so you really wonder why any man should be indignant at the idea that God upheld and sanctioned that beastliness called polygamy? |
38807 | And what can we think of a God who would accept such a sacrifice? |
38807 | And what did God do? |
38807 | And what is the crime or practice known as watering stock? |

38802 | If we think that God is kinder than he really is, will our poor souls be burned for that? |
38802 | If you have it, why seek it? |
38802 | If you knew the devil had written a work on human slavery, in your judgment, would he uphold slavery, or denounce it? |
38802 | In that eternity what was this God doing? |
38802 | In the New Testament we find that in giving the genealogy of Christ it says,"who was the son of Joseph?" |
38802 | In the light shed upon this question by the telescope, I again ask, where was he going? |
38802 | In what way did he overcome the intense cold? |
38802 | In what way is the human reason to be ignored? |
38802 | In what way would God put it in the mind of a hornet to attack a Canaanite? |
38802 | In what? |
38802 | Instead of healing a withered arm, why did he not find some man whose arm had been cut off, and make another grow? |
38802 | Instead of turning them out, why did he not keep him from getting in? |
38802 | Is Christ to be praised for resisting such a temptation? |
38802 | Is a god who will burn a soul forever in another world, better than a Christian who burns the body for a few hours in this? |

38802 | Is innocence always acquitted? |
38802 | Is it conceivable that fits wanted Christ to fall down and worship them? |
38802 | Is it easy to account for famine, for pestilence and plague if there be above us all a Ruler infinitely good, powerful and wise? |
38802 | Is it necessary to believe that God is a kind of prestigiator-- a sleight- of- hand performer, a magician or sorcerer? |
38802 | Is it not a little curious that no priest of one religion has ever been able to astonish a priest of another religion by telling a miracle? |
38802 | Is it not a little curious that the priests of one religion never believe the priests of another? |
38802 | Is it not a little strange that the believers in sacred books regard all except their own as having been made by hypocrites and fools? |
38802 | Is it not a strange coincidence that there should be contradictory accounts mingled in both the Babylonian and Jewish stories? |
38802 | Is it not altogether more probable that some ignorant Hebrew would write the vulgar words? |
38802 | Is it not far better and wiser to take the good and throw the bad away? |
38802 | Is it not humiliating to know that our ancestors believed these things? |
38802 | Is it not strange that a Chinaman should find out by his own exertions more about the material universe than Moses could when assisted by its Creator? |
38802 | Is it not wonderful that while God told his people what animals were fit for food, he failed to give a list of plants that man might eat? |
38802 | Is it not, after all, barely possible that a man acting like Christ can be saved? |

38802 | Is it possible that God is intolerant? |
38802 | Is it possible that God would make a successful rival? |
38802 | Is it possible that Matthew saw this, the most miraculous of miracles, and yet forgot to put it in his life of Christ? |
38802 | Is it possible that a God capable of doing the miracles recounted in the Old Testament could not, in some way, have disposed of the wild beasts? |
38802 | Is it possible that a being of infinite purity-- the author of modesty, would smirch the pages of his book with stories lewd, licentious and obscene? |
38802 | Is it possible that any one now believes that the whole world would be of one speech had the language not been confounded at Babel? |
38802 | Is it possible that fits can talk? |
38802 | Is it possible that fits carried Christ himself to the pinnacle of a temple? |
38802 | Is it possible that he could not see whether the waters had gone? |
38802 | Is it possible that of all these, the Bible only is the work of God? |
38802 | Is it possible that seventy people could increase to that extent in two hundred and fifteen years? |

38802 | Is it possible that the Pentateuch could not have been written by uninspired men? |
38802 | Is it possible that the sacrifice of a perfect being was acceptable to God? |
38802 | Is it possible to conceive of a more perfectly childish way of ascertaining whether the earth was dry? |
38802 | Is it possible to imagine what was really done? |
38802 | Is it possible to love a God who would make such laws? |
38802 | Is it really necessary to believe this account in order to be happy here, or hereafter? |
38802 | Is it the church? |
38802 | Is it true that man was once perfectly pure and innocent, and that he became degenerate by disobedience? |
38802 | Is it true that when we kill a snake we also destroy an evil spirit, or is there but one devil, and did he perish at the death of the first serpent? |
38802 | Is justice always done? |

38802 | Is orthodox Christianity on the increase? |
38802 | Is rest holier than labor? |
38802 | Is that because we are depraved? |
38802 | Is the freedom of the future to exist only in perdition? |
38802 | Is then the Bible a different book to every human being who reads it? |

38802 | Is there one who will publicly declare that, in his judgment, that institution ever was right? |
38802 | Is there wisdom in this? |
38802 | Is there, in all the history of war, a more infamous thing than this? |
38802 | Is there, in the civilized world, to- day, a clergyman who believes in the divinity of slavery? |
38802 | Is this belief necessary unto salvation? |
38802 | Is this established by the history of nations? |
38802 | It will be the same to- morrow, will it not? |
38802 | Let another read him who knows nothing of the drama, nothing of the impersonations of passion, and what does he get? |
38802 | Lover-- husband-- wife-- mother-- father-- child-- home!--? |
38802 | Must I be false to my understanding? |
38802 | Must a man be born a second time before this account seems reasonable? |
38802 | Must not the reason be convinced? |
38802 | Must the civilized accept the religion of savages? |

38802 | Must we, in order to be good, gentle and loving in our lives, believe that the creation of woman was a second thought? |
38802 | Now, I ask, whether it was unreasonable for the Jews to suggest that a little meat would be very gratefully received? |
38802 | Now, after concluding to make"an helpmeet"for Adam, what did the Lord God do? |
38802 | Of art, or joy? |

38802 | On which of the six days was he created? |
38802 | Ought a god to take any credit to himself for making depraved people? |
38802 | People ask me, if I take away the Bible what are we going to do? |

38802 | Science passed its hand above it and beneath it, and where was the old heaven and where was the hell? |
38802 | Shall I take another man''s word-- not what he thinks, but what he says some God has said to him? |
38802 | Should we imagine that he was divinely inspired because he gave to the Jews what the Egyptians had given him? |
38802 | Suppose a man came into this city and should meet a funeral procession, and say,"Who is dead?" |
38802 | Suppose nothing had been in the Old Testament except laws in favor of these crimes, would it still be insisted that it was inspired? |
38802 | Suppose nothing had been in the Old Testament upholding these crimes, would the modern Christian suspect that it was not inspired on that account? |
38802 | Suppose the compasses were not constant to the pole-- no two compasses exactly alike-- would you expect all ships to reach the same harbor? |
38802 | Suppose we invent something that can go one thousand miles an hour? |
38802 | That Jehovah really endeavored to induce Adam to take one of the lower animals as an helpmeet for him? |
38802 | That all his bones were formed as they now are, and all the relations of nerve, ligament, brain and motion as they are to- day? |
38802 | The Christians tell me that God is the author of these vile and stupid things? |
38802 | The Euphrates still journeys to the gulf, but where are Pison, Gihon and the mighty Heddekel? |
38802 | The Recording Secretary, or whoever does the cross- examining, says to a soul: Where are you from? |
38802 | The hail experiment having accomplished nothing, do you believe that God murdered the first- born of animals and men? |
38802 | The next question is, how many beasts, fowls and creeping things did Noah take into the ark? |
38802 | The question, then arises, whether within the last six thousand years there have been such upheavals and displacements? |
38802 | The religion of Jesus Christ, as preached by his church, causes war, bloodshed, hatred, and all uncharitableness; and why? |
38802 | Then what became of the body that died? |
38802 | Then which day would you keep? |
38802 | Then why did he say anything upon these subjects? |
38802 | Then why does not God give me the evidence? |
38802 | There were plenty of other loaves and other fishes in the world? |
38802 | Thereupon, Moses returned unto the Lord and said,"Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? |
38802 | They said to the priests:"Where is your New Jerusalem?" |
38802 | This God, waiting around Eden-- knowing all the while what would happen-- having made them on purpose so that it would happen, then does what? |
38802 | This is what happens--"What is your name?" |
38802 | Unless the Lord God was looking for an helpmeet for Adam, why did he cause the animals to pass before him? |
38802 | Until then, I will remain and suffer where I am?" |
38802 | Upon what food did he subsist before his conversation with Eve? |
38802 | WILL any one claim that the passages upholding slavery have liberated mankind? |
38802 | WILL the unknown, the mysteries of life and itiations of the mind, forever furnish food for superstition? |
38802 | Was God at that time governing the world? |
38802 | Was he endeavoring to spread his gospel? |
38802 | Was he envious of the success of the Egyptian magicians? |
38802 | Was he so ignorant of the structure of the human mind as to believe all honest doubt a crime? |
38802 | Was it not possible for him to make such a convincing display of his power as to silence forever the voice of unbelief? |
38802 | Was it right for God not only to uphold, but to command the infamous traffic in human flesh? |
38802 | Was religious liberty born of that infamous verse in which the husband is commanded to kill his wife for worshiping an unknown God? |
38802 | Was that, too, a geologic period covering thousands of ages? |

38802 | Was there in the garden a tree of life, the eating of which would have rendered Adam and Eve immortal? |
38802 | Was there not room outside of the garden to put his tree, if he did not want people to eat his apples? |
38802 | Was this the work of the most merciful God, the father of us all? |
38802 | We are told that God made man; and the question naturally arises, how was this done? |
38802 | We know how it was ventilated; but what was done with the filth? |
38802 | We know that after that he lived upon dust, but what did he eat before? |
38802 | We should have said to him,"What do you propose to give us in place of that angel? |
38802 | We would have asked that man whether he knew more than all the great minds of his country, whether he was so much wiser than his fathers? |
38802 | Well, what else? |
38802 | Well, why? |
38802 | Were blood hounds apostles? |
38802 | Were the stealers and whippers of babes and women the justified children of God? |

38805 | If Paine had died a millionaire, would you have accepted his religious opinions? |
38805 | If Paine had drank nothing but cold water would you have repudiated the five cardinal points of Calvin- ism? |
38805 | If Paine recanted why should he be denied"a little earth for charity"? |
38805 | If a man honestly thinks that the Bible is not inspired, what should he say? |

38805 | If he could have saved his life and did not, was he not guilty of suicide? |

38805 | If not, is Mr. Talmage a Baptist? |
38805 | If so, what? |
38805 | If the Catholic Church at that time had thrown out the book of Revelation, would it now be our duty to believe that book to have been inspired? |

38805 | If the man had eaten of the tree of life, would he have lived forever? |
38805 | If the political theory of Mr. Talmage is carried out, of course the question will arise in a little while, What is a Christian? |
38805 | If they wanted to show that Christ was of the blood of David, why did they not give the gene- alogy of his mother if Joseph was not his father? |

38805 | Is he willing to accept the testimony even of ministers? |
38805 | Is he willing to admit that the testi- mony of a Bible, reader and believer is true? |
38805 | Is it a sure sign of an impure mind, when a man insists that God never waged wars of extermination against his helpless children? |
38805 | Is it as great a sin to admit into the Bible books that are uninspired as to reject those that are inspired? |
38805 | Is it because the mind of the infidel is poisoned, that he refuses to believe that an infinite God commanded the murder of mothers, maidens and babes? |
38805 | Is it because their minds are vile, that they refuse to believe that an infinite God established or protected polygamy? |

38805 | Is it not strange that Christ, in his Ser- mon on the Mount, did not speak of"regeneration,"or of the"scheme of salvation"? |

38805 | Mr. Talmage charges you with having said that the Scriptures are a collection of polluted writings? |
38805 | Mr. Talmage in reply to you? |
38805 | Mr. Talmage says that infidels have done no good? |
38805 | Mr. Talmage thinks that you laugh too much,--that you exhibit too much mirth, and that no one should smile at sacred things? |
38805 | Mr. Talmage wants you to tell where the cruelty of the Bible crops out in the lives of Chris- tians? |
38805 | Must a man believe statements that he has every reason to think are false? |

38805 | Perhaps it has, but would it not be well enough to answer it once more? |
38805 | Should Christians pray for the con- version of infidels? |

38805 | Should a God be worshiped, and a man be damned, for the same action? |
38805 | Should he have betrayed Christ, or let somebody else do it; or should he have allowed the world to perish, in- cluding his own soul? |
38805 | Should we believe the miracles, whether they are reasonable or not? |

38805 | Suppose his father had been a Catholic, and his mother a Protestant,--what then? |
38805 | Suppose his parents had both been infidels-- what then? |
38805 | Suppose it should turn out that some of these miracles depend upon mistranslations of the original Hebrew, should we still believe them? |

38805 | The second time was at the marriage feast in Cana, when he said to her:"Woman, what have I to do"with thee?" |
38805 | The text from which he preached is:"Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
38805 | The worship of the sun was an exceedingly natural religion, and why should a man or woman be destroyed for kneeling at the fireside of the world? |
38805 | Then hypocrisy will not save him? |
38805 | Then the Old Testament tells us how we lost immortality, not that we are immortal, does it? |
38805 | Then why did Luke say in the same verse of the same chapter that"Jesus increased in"favor with God"? |
38805 | Then you regard belief as the safe way? |
38805 | Then you think that there is no such thing as the crime of blasphemy, and that no such offence can be committed? |
38805 | There are in Russia about eighty millions of people--how many Christians? |
38805 | There are more Buddhists than Christians-- why does he vote against majorities? |

38805 | There was a time when an abolitionist could not be elected to office in any State in this Union; what did that prove? |
38805 | There was a time when no man could have been elected to any office, who in- 300 sisted on the rotundity of the earth; what did that prove? |
38805 | There was a time when no man who denied the existence of witches, wizards, spooks and devils, could hold any position of honor; what did that prove? |
38805 | There was a time when they were not allowed to express their honest thoughts; what does that prove? |
38805 | They had wandered so long in the desert that they finally cried out:"Wherefore have ye brought us"up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? |
38805 | This being so, this miracle is the best attested of all? |
38805 | This being so, why did not God reveal himself to every human being? |

8389 | After a while the pauper without rheumatism died, and then the pauper with the rheumatism began to think in her own mind, who will bring me food? |
8389 | All of it; all of it; and yet what is this old testament that was written by an infinitely good God? |
8389 | And I ask you if I have not the same right to think that any other human has? |
8389 | And can any God damn such a soul? |
8389 | And do you know there has not been a patentable improvement made on that devil for 4,000 years? |
8389 | And do you know, it is a splendid thing for me to think that the woman you really love will never grow old to you? |
8389 | And he said to her:"These belong to your father; do you think that he will allow one of his children to starve? |
8389 | And how can we be made in the image of something that has neither body and parts nor passions? |

8389 | And if Joseph was not his father, why not give the genealogy of Pontius Pilate or Herod? |
8389 | And if a god has made us, knowing that we would be totally depraved, why should we go to the same being for repairs? |
8389 | And if a man honestly decides that death is best-- best for him and others-- and acts upon the decision, why should he be blamed? |
8389 | And if that story is true, ought we not after all to thank the devil? |
8389 | And then cap the climax by asking:"Were you ever baptized?" |
8389 | And we took all his cities, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain?" |

8389 | And what for? |

8389 | And what shall we say of Greece? |
8389 | And what was the golden age born of? |
8389 | And what was the result? |
8389 | And what? |
8389 | And when we get to the new testament, what do we find there? |
8389 | And why did God demand the sacrifice of a sheep? |
8389 | And why? |
8389 | And why? |

8389 | Are the savages the agents of the good God? |
8389 | Are there not a great many bad people who go to church? |
8389 | Are they the servants of the infinite? |
8389 | As a final test:"Boys, would you be willing to go to hell if it was God''s will?" |
8389 | Billions of prayers have been uttered; has one been answered? |
8389 | But we are advancing, and we are beginning to hold all kinds of slavery in utter contempt; do you know that? |
8389 | But what shall I say more? |

8389 | Can you contribute a few dollars to the fund?" |
8389 | Can you imagine matter without force? |
8389 | Can you? |

38806 | Would it not be much easier to prove that science is of divine origin? |
38806 | Would it not have been better if man, before the poor woman was blinded, had put asunder whom God had joined together? |
38806 | Would it not have been far better had he said:"I come not to bring a sword, but peace"? |
38806 | Would not that be a second violation instead of a vindication? |
38806 | Would not this have saved countless cruelties and countless lives? |
38806 | Would not your argument, Mr. Black, have been just as good in the mouth of a Brahmin then, as it is in yours now? |
38806 | Would they have dared to crucify a man who had the power to clothe the dead with life? |
38806 | Would you not rather trust a wise and honest man with the lightning? |
38806 | Would you rob her of that Unseen Friend-- the only Friend she had on earth or in heaven? |
38806 | Would you say that he was an infinitely wise mechanic? |
38806 | Would you still read from your Confession of Faith, or from your Catechism-- this? |
38806 | Would you tell her that to think of a world without poverty, without tears, without pain, is"a child''s picture"? |
38806 | Would you then put this serpent in her breast? |
38806 | Yet so it has come to pass; and how? |
38806 | You ask me whether I would"rob this poor woman of such a friend?" |
38806 | You ask me, What is Christianity? |
38806 | You ask:"Why then should the father make demands of love, obedience, and sacrifice from his young child?" |
38806 | You further say, that your simple object was to answer the question"What is Christianity?" |
38806 | You have asked me what is to become of one who seduces and betrays, of the criminal with the blood of his victim upon his hands? |
38806 | You may ask, And what of all this? |
38806 | You seem to ask me whether divorce from the bond of marriage can ever be allowed? |
38806 | and can two such issues be equally attractive to a moral agent? |
38806 | and if he desire, will he not incline to the side that he desires to find true? |
38806 | and, if so, why did it not appear in the first four thousand years? |
38806 | any virtue in this? |
38806 | deeper than Hell; what canst thou know?" |
38806 | impress the intelligence of the Great Republic? |
38806 | is the revealed law of purity, generosity, perfection, divine, or only the poetry of imagination? |
38806 | of Jephthah? |
38806 | or will those words be spoken by the redeemed as they joyously contemplate the writhings of the lost? |
38806 | or, if she leaves him to preserve her life, must she remain his wife for his sake? |
38806 | seize it, and is it now in the keeping of the Church of England? |
38806 | that he sees no choice between the murder of helpless age, of weeping women and of sleeping babes, and the defence of liberty and nationality? |
38806 | that such a doctrine should exorcise the fullness of human pride and lust? |
38806 | this the arch that supports the dome of civilization? |
38806 | this the corner- stone of society? |
38806 | whether this is the tone in which controversy ought to be carried on? |
38810 | Anything else? |
38810 | Did you do anything on account of it? |
38810 | Did you ever claim anything from Dorsey? |
38810 | Did you ever say anything to Dorsey about it? |
38810 | Did you ever say anything to anybody that you had any claim against Dorsey? |
38810 | Did you ever write to him? |
38810 | Did you know the contents? |
38810 | Did you know what it meant? |
38810 | Did you make the entries at the time they purport to have been made? |
38810 | Did you not tell Bosler that you wrote it? |
38810 | Did you swear to it? |
38810 | Did you tell Hesing that Hoyt was innocent? |
38810 | Did you tell Mr. Hesing that Munn was not in it? |
38810 | Did you tell him that Munn never was in it-- that Munn was innocent? |
38810 | Do n''t you know, as a matter of fact, that he was here on the 3d of April, 1878? |
38810 | Do you believe I care anything about that? 38810 How did you come to see it, John?" |
38810 | How is your mother? |
38810 | How many books did you have? 38810 Is that the way you treat a friend? |
38810 | Mr. Hesing, did Mr. Rehm tell you that Hoyt was innocent? |
38810 | Mr. Rehm, did you ever give Mr. Burroughs notice that Mr. Munn was coming in order that he might put his house in order? |
38810 | Very well,said he,"what will you give me?" |
38810 | Well, but,says Rerdell,"do n''t you know the trial is going on now? |
38810 | Well, how is your grandmother? |
38810 | Well,Jackson answered,"I asked Hopkins--""Who else?" |
38810 | Well,he said,"do you know the widow Thompson?" |
38810 | Well,says Rerdell,"my good God, ai n''t there any way I can get out of this?" |
38810 | What else do you want? |
38810 | What for? |
38810 | What has that to do with this divorce case? |
38810 | What more can you let us have? |
38810 | When was it filed? |
38810 | Why did n''t they call Bosler? |
38810 | Why did n''t you call so- and- so? |
38810 | Why did they not when they were to carry additional trips give a new bond? |
38810 | Why? |
38810 | Why? |
38810 | Yes,he says;"but, my God, suppose the other dogs should hear of it?" |
38810 | ; they would have had all those affidavits showing substantially the same per cent., would n''t they? |
38810 | A conspiracy to do what? |
38810 | A failing contractor on the hundredth route? |
38810 | A fraudulent order of August, 1879. Who made it? |
38810 | About how long would it take you to break me up? |
38810 | According to the testimony of Roelle those people were at dinner, and where, gentlemen, is the philosophy of that lie which they have told? |
38810 | After he got the originals copied why did he not burn up the originals so that nobody could ever find them in his possession? |
38810 | After he got these routes what did he do? |
38810 | Again I ask why would not the Government give him his price? |
38810 | Again I ask you, gentlemen, why would Mr. Dorsey give such a paper to Rerdell? |
38810 | Ah, but they say, do n''t you remember those Clendenning bonds? |
38810 | All the horses engaged in the business; those that are drawing corn for the others, as well as the rest, will you not? |
38810 | Am I criminal if I go on and perform the contract as I agreed and draw the money? |
38810 | And I said we would not produce them? |
38810 | And I suppose when you retire, the first question for you to decide will be: Was there a conspiracy? |
38810 | And do n''t you remember that he went into a kind of homily on neighborhood gossip, that hardly anybody escaped? |
38810 | And do you know some of the meanest things in this world have been done in the name of reform? |
38810 | And do you not recollect the delight, the abandon with which Mr. Bliss emphasized the word house, when he said that they met at Dorsey''s house? |
38810 | And has it come to, this? |
38810 | And how do I know? |
38810 | And how do they support this will that has in it the internal evidence that it was written by James R. Eddy? |
38810 | And if Donnelly had the books, how did Rerdell write the information before he went to Donnelly? |
38810 | And if he did discontinue it, was he under any obligation to allow a month''s extra pay? |
38810 | And now are you going to be such a perfect devil as to have me arrested for perjury for making that same affidavit?" |
38810 | And now we come to the word"liberal,"is that a hard word to define? |
38810 | And that they found the office open? |
38810 | And then how does it happen that Rerdell kept it? |
38810 | And then they come to Thomas J. Brady, and they tell you that that man is to be convicted upon the testimony of whom? |
38810 | And was he afraid also that you would believe it? |
38810 | And what did he say when he got through with it? |
38810 | And what did he want to be believed for? |
38810 | And what else does he swear to? |
38810 | And what else? |
38810 | And what else? |
38810 | And what have you done with the other three wills that you have in this case? |
38810 | And what is that? |
38810 | And what is that? |
38810 | And what is that? |
38810 | And what is the next charge? |
38810 | And what kind of words are misspelled? |
38810 | And what more? |
38810 | And what right has a man who is carrying the mail to interfere with the policy of the Post- Office Department? |
38810 | And what was the object of the letter? |
38810 | And what were the means at his command? |
38810 | And who else? |
38810 | And why did he make that remark to you, gentlemen? |
38810 | And why do I say it? |
38810 | And why not? |
38810 | And why was Munn going to make trouble? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And why? |
38810 | And will you say that Job Davis did not know the word administrators? |
38810 | And will you say the ordinary word give was spelled by this educated young man"guive"? |
38810 | And you wrote John Smith first, and I changed it to Sam Jones, do n''t you recollect, as otherwise there would be two Smiths? |
38810 | Any need of publishing his will? |
38810 | Any need of reading any more than the attesting clause to the attesting witnesses? |
38810 | Any need to divulge a line? |
38810 | Are there not two petitions there altered? |
38810 | As I say, how does it happen to be in the possession of Rerdell? |
38810 | At the time you burned your books had you any knowledge that they contained any evidence of fraud against the Government? |
38810 | At the time? |
38810 | Because of patriotism? |
38810 | Because the moment he got there he could be asked, Where did you find the will? |
38810 | Bosler?" |
38810 | But do you not see it made no difference? |
38810 | But is it fair, gentlemen, for a prosecuting officer to state to you that he supposed all the routes of Dorsey were expedited? |
38810 | But suppose it turns out that the substitution did not take an extra dollar from the United States? |
38810 | But what did we offer? |
38810 | But what has that to do with us? |
38810 | But what more? |
38810 | But why did they not tell the facts? |
38810 | But, gentlemen, is there enough even to bind him? |
38810 | By what he does for whom? |
38810 | By whom? |
38810 | By whom? |
38810 | Can I go back to Dorsey? |
38810 | Can you believe that? |
38810 | Can you believe this man who has been contradicted by every one brought upon the stand? |
38810 | Can you believe this man? |
38810 | Can you explain that on any other hypothesis? |
38810 | Can you take his word after he has sworn as he has? |
38810 | Could he by any possibility have alluded to the photograph when he said:"Did I say that Davis''s name was on it when I signed it?" |
38810 | Could you locate it if you had a good map? |
38810 | Could you write a fairer letter than that, to save your life? |
38810 | Could you write a milder letter than that, to save your life, and refer to the subject? |
38810 | Deny me the right to attend to my own affairs? |
38810 | Did Boone take those bonds up to Dorsey and show them to him? |
38810 | Did Dorsey at Saint Louis treat it as his bantling? |
38810 | Did Dorsey make any such statement? |
38810 | Did Dorsey write a letter to Bosler in which he admitted his guilt? |
38810 | Did I say that, sir? |
38810 | Did Job Davis rise from the dead and write another will? |
38810 | Did Job Davis write the will? |
38810 | Did Job Davis write this will? |
38810 | Did Mr. Bliss at that time suppose that Mr. Dorsey was chairman of that committee? |
38810 | Did Mr. Dorsey do anything about gathering information? |
38810 | Did Mr. Dorsey, gentlemen, in your presence, swear that he had brought Rerdell up? |
38810 | Did any man wearing the human form ever propose a more corrupt and infamous bargain? |
38810 | Did he act like somebody trying to cover up a fraud? |
38810 | Did he ask any questions? |
38810 | Did he confess that he was guilty of the conspiracy set forth in this indictment? |
38810 | Did he ever sign the photograph? |
38810 | Did he give any advice? |
38810 | Did he have it when he made his affidavit in July, 1882? |
38810 | Did he have it when he made his affidavit in November? |
38810 | Did he have it when he went to MacVeagh? |
38810 | Did he have it when he went to Mr. Woodward in September? |
38810 | Did he have it when he went to Woodward? |
38810 | Did he have it when he went to the Postmaster- General? |
38810 | Did he interfere with Mr. Boone in the business? |
38810 | Did he know at that time that Rerdell had given his papers over to Mr. Woodward? |
38810 | Did he know at that time that he had offered to challenge the friends of the defendants from the panel? |
38810 | Did he know it was not true when he put it in the indictment? |
38810 | Did he know that they were in the handwriting of Mr. Rerdell? |
38810 | Did he mean for himself? |
38810 | Did he not also swear that Vaile and Miner had not the interest of one cent in any route that went to Stephen W. Dorsey? |
38810 | Did he not in every one of those transactions act like a reasonable, sensible, good man? |
38810 | Did he pay too much for it? |
38810 | Did he read them? |
38810 | Did he say to him,"It is because we have got a conspiracy? |
38810 | Did he tell the truth? |
38810 | Did he think of saving Dorsey by going and getting these books? |
38810 | Did he want his clerk to help him keep the secret, knowing that if the secret got wings it would render him infamous? |
38810 | Did he want them? |
38810 | Did he want to attend to these contracts? |
38810 | Did he want to engage in carrying the mail of the United States? |
38810 | Did he want to enter into some partnership by which the Government was to be fleeced? |
38810 | Did he want to gratify his spite because he had made a bargain with them by which they were to realize hundreds of thousands of dollars? |
38810 | Did he want to stay here? |
38810 | Did he, in your presence, swear that he had done anything of the kind? |
38810 | Did he, in your presence, swear that he had led him to infamy? |
38810 | Did it take a conspiracy to leave them off? |
38810 | Did it? |
38810 | Did n''t he know that the bond was given to somebody else? |
38810 | Did not I offer in this court to prove what was done with every solitary route we had? |
38810 | Did not Mr. Ker know whether the routes had been expedited or not? |
38810 | Did the prosecution know that Rerdell had made the two affidavits? |
38810 | Did they contain the accounts of the subcontractors? |
38810 | Did they expect to win this case on that indictment? |
38810 | Did they indorse false petitions for the purpose of putting money in the pockets of these defendants? |
38810 | Did they look out for productiveness? |
38810 | Did we make one? |
38810 | Did you ever hear of a grocery man endeavoring to cry down that which he wished you to buy? |
38810 | Did you ever hear of a merchant crying down the quality of the cloth he wished to sell? |
38810 | Did you ever know as much humanity in a conspiracy as that? |
38810 | Did you ever know of a vender crying down his own wares? |
38810 | Did you ever know of anybody on earth doing business at a smaller per cent, and paying for the trouble? |
38810 | Did you ever know such a streak of benevolence to strike anybody? |
38810 | Did you ever pay Jacob Rehm any money? |
38810 | Did you ever sign that?" |
38810 | Did you have any conversation with him in regard to this route, with regard to the needs of the country for mail service; and, if so, what was it? |
38810 | Did you have two? |
38810 | Did you not say that the decision there was that the conspiracy might be inferred from the combination to do the act? |
38810 | Did you say it thinking that Munn did hear it?" |
38810 | Do n''t you believe that they talked with somebody? |
38810 | Do n''t you know that the mail is the pioneer of civilization? |
38810 | Do n''t you recollect the two letters you asked Dorsey so much about? |
38810 | Do n''t you remember that testimony? |
38810 | Do n''t you see how everything fits together when you get at the facts? |
38810 | Do n''t you see? |
38810 | Do you believe it? |
38810 | Do you believe it? |
38810 | Do you believe it? |
38810 | Do you believe that Brady would make a confident of him? |
38810 | Do you believe that Brady would substantially admit in his presence that he had been bribed by Dorsey? |
38810 | Do you believe that Job Davis spelled sheet-- a sheet of paper--"sheat"? |
38810 | Do you believe that he ever had any such conversation? |
38810 | Do you believe that he knows as much about the mail business as Colonel Bliss? |
38810 | Do you believe that he knows as much about the wants of the great Northwest as the gentlemen who are prosecuting this case? |
38810 | Do you believe that members of Congress of the Lower House and of the Senate were their agents and tools? |
38810 | Do you believe that these defendants had at their beck and call the representatives of the entire great Northwest? |
38810 | Do you believe that? |
38810 | Do you believe that? |
38810 | Do you believe they were dishonest men, and do you believe they asked for what they did not want? |
38810 | Do you depend on just that thirty? |
38810 | Do you know anything about any crookedness?" |
38810 | Do you know her boy? |
38810 | Do you not know that there ought to be a mail wherever the flag floats? |
38810 | Do you not know, and do I not know, that the mail is the substantial benefit we get from the General Government? |
38810 | Do you not remember what I told you? |
38810 | Do you not see, gentlemen, it is utterly impossible to believe that? |
38810 | Do you not think that it is better to get a man out of the Cabinet than to put another into the penitentiary? |
38810 | Do you recollect the day of the month? |
38810 | Do you recollect the number of the house? |
38810 | Do you say now that the other routes of his, to the number you talked of, were expedited? |
38810 | Do you see the red in that"Job"? |
38810 | Do you see what a big idea that is? |
38810 | Do you see? |
38810 | Do you see? |
38810 | Do you suppose that pays? |
38810 | Do you tell me that under such circumstances, if Stephen W. Dorsey had conceived this thing, he would have gone off and left it? |
38810 | Do you think I will allow any man willfully, maliciously, and with malice aforethought, to swear that I am an innocent man? |
38810 | Do you think I would stand a lie of that kind, sir? |
38810 | Do you think he is the kind of man who would let such a chance slip? |
38810 | Do you think he would have done that if the will had not been signed, if it were worth only waste paper? |
38810 | Do you think that fellow would vote to send a stupid man to Congress who could not get another mail? |
38810 | Do you think that man would not sign a petition for another mail? |
38810 | Do you want any better testimony than that, that Dorsey did refuse to advance any more money? |
38810 | Do you want to be convicted on that kind of testimony? |
38810 | Do you want to be locked up on that kind of testimony? |
38810 | Do you want to be rendered infamous during your life upon the testimony of such men as Golsen and Conklin and Rehm? |
38810 | Do you want to be separated from your wife or your child on that kind of evidence? |
38810 | Do you want to go to the penitentiary with that kind of witnesses against you? |
38810 | Do you? |
38810 | Do you? |
38810 | Do you? |
38810 | Does it accord with our experience? |
38810 | Does it accord with what we know? |
38810 | Does it show that there was a conspiracy if Dorsey signed his name after Peck had sold out his interest in the routes? |
38810 | Does it show that they had any conspiracy before that time? |
38810 | Does not that very fact, that blanks were left, show that they were to take the judgment of the men who were to do the swearing? |
38810 | Does that show that they were then in a conspiracy? |
38810 | Does that show they were co- conspirators? |
38810 | Donnelly?" |
38810 | Dorsey had him already locked up there, do n''t you see? |
38810 | Dorsey says,"Why? |
38810 | Even Mr. Bliss, in his speech, asked,"Why did n''t they call Bosler?" |
38810 | February 11, 1874, ninety- six cents, which made twenty- six cents; and so it went on in that way, until what? |
38810 | For the sake of saving Dorsey? |
38810 | For what purpose? |
38810 | For what? |
38810 | Fraudulently filing what? |
38810 | From these figures, gentlemen, you will see it, and how high did it go? |
38810 | From whom did they keep it secret? |
38810 | Gentlemen, is it wonderful that all the people of the West want mails? |
38810 | Gentlemen, is that your view of human nature, that a man can not become the friend of another suddenly? |
38810 | Gentlemen, is there any depth of depravity below that? |
38810 | Gentlemen, was it natural for S. W. Dorsey to get the money back that he had advanced, or some security for it? |
38810 | Had it a revoking clause in it? |
38810 | Had it been hatched at that time? |
38810 | Had the egg of this crime then been laid? |
38810 | Has Jacob Rehm told against this defendant a true story? |
38810 | Has a man got to be so stupid that he will not take advantage of a perfectly plain thing in order to escape the charge of conspiracy? |
38810 | Has all the testimony upon that point-- has the confession of Rerdell to MacVeagh and James shrunk to this little measure-- that it is"only a straw"? |
38810 | Has any conspiracy been established beyond a reasonable doubt? |
38810 | Has any evidence been introduced to show that the name of an insolvent man was put upon any bond as security? |
38810 | Has any one of you ever had in his mind which side of the street that was on? |
38810 | Has anybody shown that that was Job Davis''s habit? |
38810 | Has it shrunk to this little measure? |
38810 | Has not each one of you in his mind a reason why they did not bring the ones that they talked with? |
38810 | Has not the humblest man in the United States a right to send a petition to Congress? |
38810 | Has not the smallest man-- I will go further-- has not the meanest man the right to petition Congress? |
38810 | Has the conspiracy as laid been proved by the evidence? |
38810 | Has there any evidence been introduced to show that there was a bad bond? |
38810 | Have I not the right on the next day to charge him twelve thousand dollars for it? |
38810 | Have I not the right to get it carried as cheaply as I can? |
38810 | Have the prosecution introduced one particle of testimony to show that there was? |
38810 | Have they impeached Mr. Keith? |
38810 | Have we not the right, gentlemen, to petition? |
38810 | He came back here and settled up and sold out his interest for how much? |
38810 | He found that he was about to fail with the Government, and then the important question to him was: Has Dorsey found this out? |
38810 | He is asked, Were you a member of the Post- Office Committee in 1877? |
38810 | He just said,"How much is it?" |
38810 | He knew that he was suspected, did n''t he? |
38810 | He not only wants you to believe it, gentlemen, but he asks twelve men-- you-- to swear that he came by it honestly, does n''t he? |
38810 | He put his hand in his pocket and said,"Do you see those letters to that woman?" |
38810 | He said:"But what are the payments?" |
38810 | He then says,"Well, how shall we get out of this?" |
38810 | He then was engaged in the sale of protection, was he not? |
38810 | He wants you to believe that he came by it honestly, does n''t he? |
38810 | He was pounding him away in the road with all his might, and a man came along and said to him,"What are you pounding that woodchuck for?" |
38810 | He would not have discovered it if it had not been there, would he? |
38810 | He, at that time, as appears from the evidence, was the attorney of Roots& Kerens; and who were they? |
38810 | How are we to establish the fact that it was extravagance? |
38810 | How are you going to prove that too much was paid for carrying the mail upon these routes? |
38810 | How are you to find that this was extravagance unless you know what it could have been done for? |
38810 | How came he to use the word"further"? |
38810 | How can a man try not to remember? |
38810 | How can the court determine that without passing upon the evidence in the case? |
38810 | How comes that in his indictment? |
38810 | How could he disguise his spelling? |
38810 | How could such a question be raised, gentlemen? |
38810 | How did I know what Senator you meant? |
38810 | How did he act? |
38810 | How did he come to destroy them? |
38810 | How did he come to do that? |
38810 | How did he come to keep it all this time? |
38810 | How did he come to spell the name Reddell? |
38810 | How did he ever get those affidavits? |
38810 | How did he find that out? |
38810 | How did he know any more about the service than Dorsey? |
38810 | How did he turn it over? |
38810 | How did that arch- conspirator, as they claim him to be, happen to write that letter to Clendenning? |
38810 | How did these men come to bid so cheaply on some of these routes? |
38810 | How did they appear to be the books of a firm? |
38810 | How did they conspire? |
38810 | How did they find these means, gentlemen? |
38810 | How do you fix that? |
38810 | How do you know that a thing is extravagant unless you know the price of it? |
38810 | How do you know? |
38810 | How do you prove it is extravagance? |
38810 | How does he know? |
38810 | How does he say it got to his house? |
38810 | How does it happen that Mrs. Rerdell, when she was put on the stand, never mentioned that red book? |
38810 | How does it happen that Rerdell wrote out the information for Donnelly, then got Donnelly to certify it, because Torrey had asked it? |
38810 | How does it happen that Woodward was not sworn about it? |
38810 | How does it happen that his name never figures in any division? |
38810 | How does that work with you? |
38810 | How else did Mr. Bliss find this out? |
38810 | How fast? |
38810 | How is a conspiracy proved? |
38810 | How is it possible for a bid to be fraudulent? |
38810 | How long could the money be drawn for that service in that country? |
38810 | How long would a fraud like that last and live? |
38810 | How long, in your judgment, would it be before the department would find out that there was no such post- office, no postmaster, and no mail? |
38810 | How many Salt Creekers do you think it would take to convince you that he was around spelling sheet"sheat"? |
38810 | How many cases of that occur in this will? |
38810 | How many men will it take? |
38810 | How many times? |
38810 | How much did he agree to give you for it? |
38810 | How much is the loss in this District per annum? |
38810 | How much money did he get on all these routes? |
38810 | How much money did you give Jacob Rehm? |
38810 | How much money did your house give Rehm? |
38810 | How much of that vast sum did he relieve the contractors from upon the evidence? |
38810 | How much? |
38810 | How much? |
38810 | How often? |
38810 | How sustained? |
38810 | How was he to palm that off? |
38810 | How were the affidavits made for his benefit? |
38810 | How were the orders made for his benefit? |
38810 | How were the petitions filed for his benefit? |
38810 | How would he open an account with Mitchell without anything to be charged against him or to be credited? |
38810 | How would that help him consummate a fraud? |
38810 | How would the attorneys for the Government in this case like to have their fees settled upon that basis? |
38810 | How would you correct one affidavit in blank by another affidavit in blank? |
38810 | How would you feel, to find a verdict here that this is a good will, and afterwards have it turn out to be what it is-- an impudent, ignorant forgery? |
38810 | How would you go to work to defraud the Government by filing a subcontract? |
38810 | How? |
38810 | How? |
38810 | How? |
38810 | I ask the gentlemen to tell us what men were in danger of making this trouble? |
38810 | I ask you, Mr. Foreman, and I ask each of you, Was there a conspiracy at that time? |
38810 | I ask you, also, if the testimony of Stephen W. Dorsey with regard to that transaction is not absolutely consistent with itself? |
38810 | I ask you, as sensible, reasonable men, if he would have been offered a quarter interest under those circumstances? |
38810 | I ask you, gentlemen, what evidence is there in this case that Mr. Brady ever conspired with any of these defendants? |
38810 | I ask you; I ask your common sense; I appeal to your brains: Is it probable that he would do all that absolutely for nothing? |
38810 | I asked Mr. Rerdell,"When you got that letter did you understand it?" |
38810 | I entered into this conspiracy because you urged me to, and now after we have got the routes, you are going to abandon it"? |
38810 | I said,"Did n''t you take these books over to New York in a carpet- sack?" |
38810 | I said,"My little man, what are you going to do when you grow up?" |
38810 | I say is it an excuse to give to his weeping wife? |
38810 | I say why did you not bring in James W. Bosler and prove our guilt? |
38810 | I then handed him a little paper, and asked him,"Do you know anything about that? |
38810 | I want to ask you if there is a thing in all the evidence not consistent with innocence? |
38810 | I wish to submit some authorities to the Court upon this question: Must the exact scheme be proved? |
38810 | If I am an honest man I suppose I will jump the contract, wo n''t I? |
38810 | If I am shown a paper and asked,"Is that Mr. Smith''s handwriting?" |
38810 | If Miner had known that that petition was there that he had made, would he have allowed it to stay there? |
38810 | If Mr. Munn had been why did n''t he say that Munn was? |
38810 | If Rerdell expected to palm off the copies as the originals, why did he keep the originals? |
38810 | If Rerdell had come to Donnelly to find what the account was, how did it happen to be in Rerdell''s handwriting before it got to Donnelly? |
38810 | If Rerdell had the books, why did he want to go to Donnelly for information? |
38810 | If a man tells the truth without being sworn, is that evidence that he is a dishonest man? |
38810 | If corroboration was so necessary why were not their witnesses corroborated? |
38810 | If he was the originator of the conspiracy would he have taken thirty per cent, burdened with a debt of twenty thousand dollars? |
38810 | If he was, why did they have to get somebody close to Brady? |
38810 | If he went to Donnelly to get the facts, how did Rerdell happen to write this before it got to Donnelly? |
38810 | If it was for the purpose of stopping the men from making trouble, why not pay it to the men they wished to stop? |
38810 | If it was to be a fraud, why put the post- office off the route? |
38810 | If that was a perfectly honest will and came to him through perfectly pure channels, would he not want you to know it? |
38810 | If the parties at that time had been conscious of guilt, why were any suspicious papers left on file? |
38810 | If there had been any fraud about it, would they not have withdrawn the paper? |
38810 | If there was a conspiracy of such a magnitude, why should Boone go out of it? |
38810 | If they all agreed on the number of horses and men it would take, and about what it would cost, they would bid about alike, would n''t they? |
38810 | If they had such a conspiracy what did they want of Mr. Moore? |
38810 | If they had them all at one time together, and if he and Dorsey had talked about them, why were they not filed at the same time? |
38810 | If this was done to prevent the men working at the rectifying- house from making trouble, why not pay the men? |
38810 | If you say there is evidence, when was the division made? |
38810 | If you say yes, then the next question for you to decide is, who conspired? |
38810 | In 1878? |
38810 | In March was there a conspiracy? |
38810 | In a few days he says he started for New York, and the question arises, why did Rerdell go to New York at all? |
38810 | In every crime in the world you have got to prove the four W''s-- Who, When, What, Where? |
38810 | In reference to what particular point? |
38810 | In the first place, what is a conspiracy? |
38810 | Instead of robbing the Government the Government has robbed us; and they say,"Why did you not bring Bosler?" |
38810 | Is a man to be regarded as a conspirator because some outsider thinks he got too good a bargain? |
38810 | Is circumstantial evidence sufficient? |
38810 | Is corruption all we are distinguished for? |
38810 | Is he candid now? |
38810 | Is it a crime to make a good bargain with the Government? |
38810 | Is it a crime to make money? |
38810 | Is it a crime? |
38810 | Is it a genuine will? |
38810 | Is it an excuse to give to his child:"I sent your father to the penitentiary upon the evidence of Jacob Rehm"? |
38810 | Is it an excuse to give to his pallid, invalid wife? |
38810 | Is it any evidence of fraud? |
38810 | Is it because we are a nation of rascals that the word America sheds light in every hut and in every tenement in Europe? |
38810 | Is it because we are distinguished for corruption that that one word, America, is the dawn of a career to every poor man in the Old World? |
38810 | Is it because we have such a reputation for corruption that a million people from foreign lands sought homes under our flag last year? |
38810 | Is it genuine? |
38810 | Is it honest? |
38810 | Is it my duty under such circumstances to go and notify the Government that I have cheated it, and that I would like to have it put the contract down? |
38810 | Is it natural, is it probable, is it reasonable? |
38810 | Is it natural? |
38810 | Is it natural? |
38810 | Is it not absurd to suppose any such thing? |
38810 | Is it not perfectly wonderful that this memorandum should be in imitation of Rerdell''s writing, when it was written by Dorsey? |
38810 | Is it not wonderful that he felt called upon at that time to tell several falsehoods? |
38810 | Is it not wonderful that such a conspiracy should have existed in all the Western States at one time? |
38810 | Is it possible he would turn himself into a scavenger cart into which should be thrown all the moral offal of the city of Chicago for nothing? |
38810 | Is it possible that any politician was envious of his place and power? |
38810 | Is it possible that any politician was envious of the influence he had with President Garfield? |
38810 | Is it possible that he had interfered with the career of some piece of mediocrity? |
38810 | Is it possible that he would hire and bribe other men to commit these crimes for nothing? |
38810 | Is it possible that he would tell a lie, gentlemen? |
38810 | Is it possible that it is because he was the chief man politically? |
38810 | Is it possible that the pioneer can get beyond the Government? |
38810 | Is it possible that this Government can not afford to carry the mail? |
38810 | Is it possible that those notes were about the route- book? |
38810 | Is it possible the prosecution will say that he lied on the 13th of July, 1882, but in 1883, having met with a change of heart, he told the truth? |
38810 | Is it possible, I say, that a man would make himself the sewer of all the official rot in this city, in which was deposited the excrement of frauds? |
38810 | Is it possible, gentlemen, that there is any necessity for resorting to such statements? |
38810 | Is it possible, then, that Mr. Bliss was afraid that Mr. Dorsey would swear that he took it West? |
38810 | Is it possible? |
38810 | Is it possible? |
38810 | Is it probable a man would commit all these crimes for nothing? |
38810 | Is it probable he would lay himself liable to the penitentiary every hour in the day for two years for nothing? |
38810 | Is it productive? |
38810 | Is it reasonable for him to take such care of it as he does of his own? |
38810 | Is it worth anything? |
38810 | Is n''t it altogether more natural, more reasonable, more probable, to say that a bad speller misspelled the words than that a good speller did? |
38810 | Is n''t it wonderful beyond the circumference of belief, that a good speller and bad speller happened to misspell the same words? |
38810 | Is not that the date of the order in the case? |
38810 | Is not that the date of the order? |
38810 | Is not that true? |
38810 | Is that a crime? |
38810 | Is that a fraud? |
38810 | Is that a fraud? |
38810 | Is that all born of the fancy of this gentleman? |
38810 | Is that consistent with innocence? |
38810 | Is that corroboration? |
38810 | Is that his idea of Christianity? |
38810 | Is that not exactly what he swore to on this stand? |
38810 | Is that the result of being distinguished for corruption? |
38810 | Is that the result of corruption, or is it the result of labor, of integrity and of virtue? |
38810 | Is that the way people talk that conspire together? |
38810 | Is that what you would call a voucher? |
38810 | Is the amount disproportionate to his estate? |
38810 | Is the overt act a part of the crime, and must it, be described with the same particularity that you describe the offence? |
38810 | Is there any charge in this case relative to them? |
38810 | Is there any evidence as to the words we used? |
38810 | Is there any evidence in this case that Mr. Brady ever conspired with anybody? |
38810 | Is there any evidence in this case that the subcontractors stole any letters on account of not having taken the oath? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of that kind? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of that letter in this trial? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of the conversation between Torrey and Dorsey? |
38810 | Is there any evidence of what you say? |
38810 | Is there any evidence that any route of Dorsey''s was expedited not mentioned in this indictment? |
38810 | Is there any evidence that the signatures of real persons were attached, and the real persons did not live upon the routes? |
38810 | Is there any evidence that they were all reported to Congress? |
38810 | Is there any fraud now in that route? |
38810 | Is there any law against a tinsmith bidding to carry the mails? |
38810 | Is there any other man connected with this trial that ever did a more generous, nay, a more loving and lovely thing? |
38810 | Is there any proof of that? |
38810 | Is there any safety in human society if you will take the testimony of a perjured man? |
38810 | Is there any safety in the world if you take the testimony of these men, especially when character avails nothing? |
38810 | Is there any such provision in the statute? |
38810 | Is there anything criminal in that? |
38810 | Is there anything in a point like that? |
38810 | Is there anything in the indictment about them? |
38810 | Is there anything suspicious up to this time? |
38810 | Is there enough to make a respectable suspicion even in the mind of jealousy? |
38810 | Is there the slightest evidence that a fraudulent communication was ever sent to the department? |
38810 | Is there the slightest evidence that a fraudulent letter was ever written? |
38810 | Is there the slightest scintilla of testimony to show that Mr. Vaile came into this business through any improper motive? |
38810 | Is this country distinguished only for its corruption throughout Europe? |
38810 | Is this will written in that kind of hand? |
38810 | It is a little curious he never wrote a letter to James Davis and said,"Where is the will, have you got it?" |
38810 | It is an awfully awkward thing to deal with after you? |
38810 | It is perfectly clear, is it not? |
38810 | It was made on the 15th day of January, 1878. Who made it? |
38810 | It was necessary to have a good charge on paper, and why? |
38810 | James knew that he had gone over to New York to get those books, and he asked him,"Did you get the books?" |
38810 | John W. Dorsey? |
38810 | Let me inquire of the counsel for the defence if there are to be any other arguments upon their side? |
38810 | May it please your Honor, in this route the only point is, had the Postmaster General the right to discontinue the service? |
38810 | Miner? |
38810 | More than that, is there any evidence as to who forged any names to any petitions? |
38810 | Mr. Bliss says,"Why did he say the books were in New York? |
38810 | Mr. Jackson was on the stand, Senator Sanders asked him,"Whoever told you anything against him?" |
38810 | Must we treat the Government as though it were imbecile? |
38810 | Must you do business with the Government as though you were contracting with an infant or an idiot? |
38810 | Must you look at both sides of the contract? |
38810 | Neither will they say whether that sum was made up in one check or by adding together a number of checks; and, if so, what number? |
38810 | Now the question arises, who opened it? |
38810 | Now, I ask you if it is not wonderful that Moore never told Boone that there was a conspiracy on foot? |
38810 | Now, I ask you if the other parties were willing to swear to anything that these men would write, why were they made that way? |
38810 | Now, I ask you, gentlemen, is there any sense in that story? |
38810 | Now, I say, the question is: Who wrote this will? |
38810 | Now, I submit to you, gentlemen, what does that mean? |
38810 | Now, I will ask you again if he came by that will honestly, fairly, above board, would he not be glad to tell you the story? |
38810 | Now, a copy would not show in whose handwriting the press- copy was, would it? |
38810 | Now, comes another question: Who wrote this will? |
38810 | Now, did Job Davis write this will? |
38810 | Now, did it occur to him that he would save Dorsey in that way? |
38810 | Now, do you believe such a story-- that he thought that man had the bond? |
38810 | Now, do you not see how they moved to that town with the diabolical purpose of swindling this great Government? |
38810 | Now, gentlemen, according to this evidence, you have got to determine, as I said in the outset, Was there a conspiracy? |
38810 | Now, gentlemen, after the division of these routes what did Stephen W. Dorsey do? |
38810 | Now, gentlemen, do you want to know how this fellow got caught? |
38810 | Now, gentlemen, the responsibility is upon you, and what is that responsibility? |
38810 | Now, gentlemen, why should he inform Burrows that Munn was about to make a visit here? |
38810 | Now, if Donnelly wrote that after Rerdell had written, where did Rerdell get the information? |
38810 | Now, if you want more mail, what are you to do? |
38810 | Now, is it not infinitely surprising that Dorsey should imitate Rerdell without trying and without an object? |
38810 | Now, is there the slightest evidence in the statement of the Government as to the frauds in this bidding? |
38810 | Now, the next question is what is the law of accomplices, of informers? |
38810 | Now, the next question is, was Job Davis a good speller? |
38810 | Now, the next question, gentlemen, is what is meant by corroboration? |
38810 | Now, the question is, did that second will revoke the first will? |
38810 | Now, then, I say, they say to us,"Why do you not bring in James W. Bosler and prove your innocence?" |
38810 | Now, then, gentlemen, what more? |
38810 | Now, then, how did these names come in there? |
38810 | Now, then, how must these overt acts be stated in this indictment? |
38810 | Now, then, was this conspiracy entered into on August 7, 1878, when Boone went out? |
38810 | Now, then, what more? |
38810 | Now, then, you see that that is no badge of fraud, do you not? |
38810 | Now, then, you take away the evidence of Mr. Rerdell as to Miner, and what is left? |
38810 | Now, there is another little point: Why should Dorsey voluntarily put himself in the power of Rerdell by saying,"I have paid money to Brady"? |
38810 | Now, they say, can you impeach Sconce? |
38810 | Now, they say,"Why did n''t you put Bosler on?" |
38810 | Now, was that will made? |
38810 | Now, was there ever a conspiracy published so widely, that one end of the country kept so secret from the other? |
38810 | Now, we have got to the division, and the question arises, was there a division? |
38810 | Now, what did S. W. Dorsey do? |
38810 | Now, what did he have in that letter- book? |
38810 | Now, what do they say? |
38810 | Now, what does Boone say on page 1584? |
38810 | Now, what does Dorsey swear? |
38810 | Now, what does Rehm come in to swear? |
38810 | Now, what does that mean? |
38810 | Now, what else? |
38810 | Now, what else? |
38810 | Now, what had he to do? |
38810 | Now, what is that for? |
38810 | Now, what is the history up to this time? |
38810 | Now, what is the next great question in this case, and the question that will be argued at some length, probably, by the other side? |
38810 | Now, what is the next? |
38810 | Now, what is the proportion in both? |
38810 | Now, what is the scheme of this indictment? |
38810 | Now, what next did he do? |
38810 | Now, what paper is that 87 X? |
38810 | Now, what was Mr. Dorsey to do in the then state of the public mind? |
38810 | Now, what was in that letter- book? |
38810 | Now, what was the object in making this statement, unless it was pure forgetfulness? |
38810 | Now, what were the papers? |
38810 | Now, where is the evidence that he ever thought of this will, that he ever spoke of it? |
38810 | Now, where was the whiskey being made that was crooked? |
38810 | Now, why did Rerdell say he took the journal and left the ledger? |
38810 | Now, why were these dates put in this indictment, gentlemen? |
38810 | Now, why? |
38810 | Now, why? |
38810 | Now, will you permit Vaile to take advantage of his own wrong, and thus enable him to defraud another man out of his money? |
38810 | Now, would not that be an intelligent contract? |
38810 | Now,''when they came to write this indictment, why did they not tell the truth in it? |
38810 | Of what use was Donnelly''s statement after Rerdell had made the calculation? |
38810 | Of what use was it to Mr. Dorsey to keep that account? |
38810 | Of what use was it to him to put down in a book,"I paid Brady eighteen thousand dollars"? |
38810 | Of what? |
38810 | Oh, they say, why did n''t they bring Knight in, and prove by him that he then recollected Mr. Keith? |
38810 | On any more? |
38810 | On page 2462, in answer to the question,"Did you not tell Carpenter that you brought no book from New York?" |
38810 | On the principle, I suppose, of an account rendered and no objection made? |
38810 | On the same page, in answer to the question,"Did you not tell French that you were trying to entrap James?" |
38810 | One of the jurors got up and said that he would like to ask a question; he said,"What was the color of that dog?" |
38810 | Or chairman of the subcommittee? |
38810 | Or has every mail to treat this Government as though it was in its dotage? |
38810 | Or must I go on and be cast away by him and be refused by the Government? |
38810 | Ought a man to be sent to the penitentiary because he does not seize a house when there has been a technical violation without any fraud? |
38810 | Profitable as these gentlemen appear to think it was, what did he do? |
38810 | Q. I ask you in regard to your answer to that, if you did not say you did not? |
38810 | Q. Mr. Rehm, did Mr. Abel ever give you any money? |
38810 | Q. Mr. Rehm, how much money did the house of Dickenson& c Leach give you? |
38810 | Rerdell replies,"What are you going to have me prosecuted for?" |
38810 | Rerdell swears that acting upon the hint of General Brady he got a man to do-- what? |
38810 | Rerdell?" |
38810 | Said I,"Do n''t you know, as a matter of fact, that Dorsey was not here on the 3d of April, 1879?" |
38810 | Said I,"What is it?" |
38810 | Says Dorsey,"Do n''t you know you swore to a lie? |
38810 | Sconce, in giving the history of the affair in Arkansas, was asked if he did n''t say,"Did I say that Davis''name was on it when I signed it?" |
38810 | See? |
38810 | Should the men that get the public attention in that direction be benefited, or the men who do nothing? |
38810 | So, when Brady says to the contractor,"What will you carry the mail at six miles an hour for?" |
38810 | Stephen W. Dorsey? |
38810 | Suppose I said that the paper was only ten years old and it turned out that it was forty, is that a demonstration in favor of the other side? |
38810 | Suppose I say to a man,"What will you take for that horse?" |
38810 | Suppose that he was, what of it? |
38810 | Suppose the experts had been wrong on both sides, and it had turned out to be iron ink, what would have happened then? |
38810 | Suppose you should gain the applause of the whole United States by giving a false verdict; how would the echo of that applause strike your heart? |
38810 | Take from this record the testimony of Rerdell, Walsh, and Moore, and what is left? |
38810 | That being so, why should not affidavits have been made in blank? |
38810 | That he is not only contradicted by all the evidence, but by himself, and how can you corroborate a man who tells no truth? |
38810 | That his name never figures in any paper made in regard to this business? |
38810 | That is a good reason for our not taking any routes with five trips, is it not? |
38810 | That is natural, is n''t it? |
38810 | That is not the slightest evidence of fraud, is it? |
38810 | That is the question: Have they made out a case according to the scheme of the indictment? |
38810 | That is to say, the scheme of this conspiracy? |
38810 | That is, they had permission to withdraw it, and in the second affidavit is the interlineation"seven times a week,"is n''t it? |
38810 | That looks honest, does n''t it? |
38810 | That makes an aggregate of forty- five, does it not? |
38810 | That question is this: Why did Dorsey retain Rerdell in his employ after the 20th of June, 1881? |
38810 | That was done at that time, and why? |
38810 | The Court: Was there ever such a letter? |
38810 | The Government said to us,"Why did you not bring James W. Bosler to prove that?" |
38810 | The Vice Chancellor: Is it of any significance? |
38810 | The book that was copied had the Perkins account, and why? |
38810 | The committee would send for him and would ask,"Mr. Donnelly, did you write in those books?" |
38810 | The fellow says,"How will you tell?" |
38810 | The first question then is: Who wrote the will of 1866? |
38810 | The first thing he asked him when he got here was,"Have you done anything further against me?" |
38810 | The lawyer asked,"What do you want of a divorce?" |
38810 | The moment he repeated that conversation with Torrey, I said,"Where is Torrey?" |
38810 | The next is, that whenever he discontinued a route or any part of a route, rather, he gave us a month''s extra pay; you heard that, did you not? |
38810 | The next question arises, Can you find writing of Rerdell''s that looks like it? |
38810 | The next question that arises, and which of course is at the very threshold of this case, is, did these parties conspire? |
38810 | The next question, then, is what is the_ corpus delicti_; that is, in a case of conspiracy? |
38810 | The old friend asked the boy,"How is your father?" |
38810 | The old man put that question just as these witnesses were going out:"Do you know anything about any fraud? |
38810 | The only objection to this order now is what? |
38810 | The only question was,"Did Garfield write it?" |
38810 | The owner says,"Why?" |
38810 | The point is, who wrote"faster time"? |
38810 | The question arises, how did that hurt the Government? |
38810 | The question arises, upon what subject? |
38810 | The question arises, was that a fraud? |
38810 | The question is, Has any fact been substantiated in this case that contradicts a statement made in the opening? |
38810 | The question is, was that money coming to John M. Peck? |
38810 | The question is, whether the conspiracy as actually laid be proved by the evidence?" |
38810 | The question now arises, did Mr. Rerdell take this money as charged? |
38810 | The question then was what to do with him? |
38810 | The second question you have to determine is, When? |
38810 | The witnesses that came to the rescue of Sconce; how did they rescue him? |
38810 | Then I asked him,"You had a contract with Dorsey, did you?" |
38810 | Then if he wanted that information for Torrey, why did he not send it to him? |
38810 | Then said Mr. Bliss to him,"That is not Mr. Dorsey''s writing?" |
38810 | Then what becomes of the Mississippi? |
38810 | Then what did he do? |
38810 | Then what did he say? |
38810 | Then what happened? |
38810 | Then what happened? |
38810 | Then what happened? |
38810 | Then what is our condition? |
38810 | Then what motive do you say they had in doing it? |
38810 | Then where does that leave us? |
38810 | Then would you say,"That is evidence that we have conspired"? |
38810 | Then you come across this contradiction: Why should the name of J. H. Mitchell be there with nothing opposite to it? |
38810 | There are two principal and important questions to be decided by you: First, is the will sought to be probated, the will of Andrew J. Davis? |
38810 | There were two sets of those copies? |
38810 | They could not get much closer than that, could they? |
38810 | They got him, and offered what? |
38810 | They say they only want what pertains to the mail business, but who is to judge of that? |
38810 | They say to him,"Do n''t you know that you left out not only the amount of the bid, but the name of the bidder?" |
38810 | They say to these witnesses,"Did you ever see such a clause as that in a subcontract before?" |
38810 | They say,"Why do n''t you bring somebody to impeach Mr. Jacob Rehm?" |
38810 | They would say,"What kind of protection have you got, sir?" |
38810 | To July 24? |
38810 | To the statement that was made in writing and given to you and the attorney- general by ex- Senator S. W. Dorsey? |
38810 | To what statement do you refer? |
38810 | To when? |
38810 | Until the tax was raised from seventy cents to ninety cents, and what is it now? |
38810 | Upon what meat do these officers feed that they are grown so great that an ordinary citizen may not address a petition to one of them? |
38810 | Was Dickson indicted to bias public opinion? |
38810 | Was Horace F. Page a conspirator? |
38810 | Was Mr Dorsey here at that time? |
38810 | Was Senator Hill a conspirator? |
38810 | Was any contract granted upon those bonds or proposals? |
38810 | Was any money paid out on it? |
38810 | Was any such will made? |
38810 | Was he a conspirator with their Representative in Congress from Oregon? |
38810 | Was he afraid Brady would forget it? |
38810 | Was he afraid he would forget it? |
38810 | Was he at that time a conspirator? |
38810 | Was he candid then? |
38810 | Was he instructed to do it? |
38810 | Was it a motive to steal something, or was it a motive simply to be correct? |
38810 | Was it a receipt for any money? |
38810 | Was it false? |
38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence for Dorsey to open it and read it and then send for Boone and give it to him? |
38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence for Peck to write S. W. Dorsey a letter? |
38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence that John W. Dorsey met Peck at Oberlin, and that he met Miner in Sandusky? |
38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence that Peck and Miner and John W. Dorsey should agree to bid? |
38810 | Was it not natural for him to endeavor to convince distillers that he had plenty of protection to sell? |
38810 | Was it not natural for him to make the distillers believe,"If you will give me ten dollars a barrel you will have perfect protection"? |
38810 | Was it the book- keeper who, every report that he made, swore to a lie? |
38810 | Was it the gauger who received six hundred dollars a month for being a liar and a thief? |
38810 | Was it when Dorsey sent for Boone? |
38810 | Was it when Miner got here in December, 1877? |
38810 | Was not that consistent with innocence? |
38810 | Was not that first affidavit interlined? |
38810 | Was one copied from the other, and the copy so slavish that it was misspelled exactly the same? |
38810 | Was productiveness thought of? |
38810 | Was that because he was a co- conspirator? |
38810 | Was that consistent with innocence? |
38810 | Was that for the benefit of the Government? |
38810 | Was that his business? |
38810 | Was that natural? |
38810 | Was that note at Lewis Johnson& Co.''s? |
38810 | Was the Government ever defrauded out of a cent by them? |
38810 | Was the conspiracy flagrant then? |
38810 | Was the letter of the Attorney- General of the United States, written just before this trial began, written to bias public opinion also? |
38810 | Was the present Secretary of the Interior a conspirator? |
38810 | Was there a conspiracy then? |
38810 | Was there a conspiracy when Dorsey received the letter from Peck or Miner? |
38810 | Was there any conspiracy then? |
38810 | Was there any danger of Munn turning state''s evidence against himself? |
38810 | Was there any danger of any thief or of any conspirator saying anything calculated to bring this rascality to the surface? |
38810 | Was there any danger of that book- keeper trying to throw himself out of employment? |
38810 | Was there any danger of that gauger stopping his own pay? |
38810 | Was there any danger of these liars and of these thieves making a fuss on their own account? |
38810 | Was there any reason for supposing that it was twenty- five cents? |
38810 | Was there anything criminal in that? |
38810 | Was there ever a conspiracy like that, the news of which ran through the West like wild- fire, while the fellows at the East never heard of it? |
38810 | Was there not danger that he would be declared a failing contractor? |
38810 | Was there not just as much danger of Bridges making a fuss as Munn? |
38810 | We have got it fixed with the Second Assistant Postmaster- General"? |
38810 | We say to Burroughs,"In 1874, in 1873, in 1872, did Rehm tell you that Munn was not in it?" |
38810 | We then asked Mr. Burroughs,"Did Mr. Rehm ever give you such notice?" |
38810 | We then asked him,"Did he tell you that?" |
38810 | Well, now, ought not you to let him tell his own story, ought not you, gentlemen, to be clever enough to let him do his own swearing? |
38810 | Well, now, what did Boone do? |
38810 | Well, then, why not pay the men? |
38810 | Well, what is reasonable care? |
38810 | Well, when was it filed or when was it transmitted? |

38810 | Will you swear they did not give you thirty? |
38810 | Will you tell me what page it was I spoke about Boone? |

38810 | Would there be any argument in that? |
38810 | Would you believe a man like that? |
38810 | Yes; but what did they do with the rest of them? |
38810 | You all understand that, do you not? |
38810 | You are in the Senate; you are interested in these routes, and I want to hear no more from you"? |
38810 | You have heard me read the agreement he made, have you not, with Miner? |
38810 | You understand me now, do you not? |
38810 | and I say to them, why did you not bring him? |
