 I dc'i-lifate lliis little Bouk of Philosophy and Religion, believing 
 it tu he the most precious and jtriceless gem of thought and wisdom 
 ever wrilleu hy nmrlal ukmi — the only true Idea and tlie only true Phl- 
 losopliy of the God of the Universe, and of the creation of this our 
 Mother Earth, and of the Human Pace, an<l of all Life ; the only true 
 Idea and the only true Philosophy of these things ever written l^y man, 
 and more precious and jtriceless to the Human Family than all the Phi- 
 losoi'liy, and all the Prophecies, and all the lieligion ever wiilten ami 
 rinted before. The gems of thought, the wisdom and philosophy e f a 
 lou<r life of never-ccasinic thought and observation and investigation, all 
 condensed and crowded into this little book «.f thirty or forty pages. 
 
 Therefore, it is my wish and desire, that it shall be the saered life 
 duty of my sweet and gifted daughter, Mary Princess Olga Shiveley, 
 and her heirs, and of all who can or may see and believe iu the Philoso- 
 phy and the Ileligion of this little book, to circulate, promulgate ami to 
 teach this Philosophy and this Ueligion through all the coming genera- 
 lions of the Human Family.

 THE GOD THAT I WORSHIP, 
 MY PHILOSOPHY AND MY KELIGION. 
 
 / believe that the iSu/i is a LiviiKj BeiiKj, a Lioiivj Soul, the God of tJie 
 Universe, the Great Jehovah, the All- Wise, tJie Omnipotent, the 
 Eternal Livinij God, the Creator of all Life upon the face of 
 this our JIuthcr Earth. 
 
 Yes, I believe that the Sua of Light, the Sun that shines in the 
 heavens, and all the Stars, the Planets, Suns and Systems, that all the 
 vast immensity of the universe, is all one universal living being, the All- 
 Wise, the Omnipotent, the Eternal Living God, and that he sees and 
 knows all the work that he has done, and rules, directs and governs all 
 by eternal law, and principle that never fails, 
 
 Do you get the idea V If you do, then every day that the face of the 
 /N Sun is not veiled by intervening clouds, you can see the Creator, the All- 
 
 Wise, the Omnipotent, the Eternal Living God, the Great Jehovah, face 
 to face. 
 
 But let us look and see what the Good Book, the Holy Bible, the 
 Word of God from the mouth of Old Moses, and the prophets, and the 
 priestcraft of the Jews, has to say about it : 
 
 la the first Book of Moses, they say : 
 1. " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 
 3. "And the earth was '.vithout, form and void, and darkness was upon the face 
 of the deep, and tliu spirit of God moved upon lliu face of the waters. 
 
 3. " And God said let there be liglit, and there was hght. 
 
 4. " And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from 
 the darkness. 
 
 5. " And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night, and the 
 evening and tiie morning were the first day." 
 
 And we read on and see that on the second, and the third, and the 
 fourth, and the fifth, and the si.vth day, that God created all the heavenij 
 and the earth, and all the living things, living creatures thereof : 
 
 31. "And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold! U was very 
 \ good. And the evening and the morning were tlie si.xlh day." 
 
 v;^, Chap. 2. — 1. " Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hostof 
 
 ■>^ ) them. : 
 
2. " And on ilic sevenlli day God ended liis woiic. which he hud made, and he 
 rested on Uie scvlmU!: ilay fiDmall the work which ho hud made. 
 
 3. " And God blesse>l tiii- sovent'.i d ly, an Isaactirted it, becau:"; that in it he 
 had rcsU'd from ;dl his work which God creiilod and made." 
 
 ..Villi wu i\a 1 on down ihrougli all the books of Mosc-^, aiiil all the 
 iMKtk.s of lliis Holy IjUiIi-, down lo llii> coining of Jesii:^: Cliii.st, and we 
 find it to In- only four thousand years ; aiul from Jesiis Christ down lo 
 the jiresent time ciglitcen hundred and seventy-live years. 
 
 S.>, a<eoiding to the lii.story of these things, as reeorded and set forlli 
 in iliis good book, the Holy Bible, we lind that it is not yet si.K thousand 
 years since the (tod of the Jews created all the heavens and the earth, 
 and all the host of them, in si.K days. 
 
 Now, we lo:)k away back through the long vista of time, the im- 
 mensity of tiie unnumbered billions and billions of ages, tlie vast eternity 
 of ages, that have rolled away since the beginning of time — since the be- 
 ginning of time ! 
 
 Aye, b'lt I sec that tlierc never was a time wdien Time did not 
 exist, and that there never was a beginning, because theie must have 
 been something yet beyond. 
 
 Yes, there must have been billions and billions of vast eternal ages 
 rolled away — since when "? Since the beginning of time. Aye, but I tell 
 you there never was a time since when time did not e.vist ; that is an im- 
 })ossibility. The reasoning mind tells me that there must have been some- 
 tliing yet beyond. 
 
 And the mind, in its \ ivid (lashes, like a thundering Jove, goes out 
 llirough the immensity, the vast eternity of the universe — unnumbered 
 billions of miles — in a moment, for billions of vast, eternal ages, to 
 reach the outermost bounds of the universe, lint we lind it not, because 
 it does not exist. To the north, the south, the east, the west, the height, 
 the depth — to the immensity of the uiii\ e;se there is no end, no bounds, 
 no limit, because there must be something yet beyon.l. Yon cannot eut 
 it off ; you cannot hedge it in. You cannot wall it up roundabout with 
 chaotic masses of Egyptian darkness, nor walls of ice, nor walls oJ«rock, 
 nor adamant, because there must be a vast eternity of something yet 
 beyond. 
 
 Do you get the idea— that there are 'no bounds, no limit to the vast 
 oternily of the iini\er>e, and that there iie\er was a time when old Time 
 and the ilullu•ll^ily <d" the uiii\ erse ditl iiutexi'tl' 
 
 If yon tU), we will come back to the Sun of Liglit, the Great 
 .Teliovah, the Go.l of all Light, and the God of all Life, the Creator of 
 all Things, the (3mnipolent, the luernal, Living God. 
 
 Do you get the idea that the Sun is a living being, that the Sun is a 
 living soul, and the only true and perfect image of the God o[ the uni- 
 verse, visible to the eye and 'the mind of man? And do you get the 
 idea of the \ ,l^t world, the imnien>ilv v( mind and intellect ot the Sun 
 of Light, that has life and being, creates, sees and knows, rules, directs 
 andgoverns all tliiiiLT^ througliout all the vast eternity of the universe. 
 
M-ith an oiiuiipotent will that never lets go— :ui omnipotent will that 
 creates, directs, rules ami governs uU by eternal law and piineiple that 
 never fails ? The immensity of mind, the omnipotent will that grapjiles 
 all the vast immensity of the universe, and liolds it obedient to that 
 omnipotent will, that never rests, that never sleeps, that liolds on to tlm 
 vast immensity of thu universe, from never beginning time unto all 
 eternit)'. 
 
 Do you get the idea that I wish to impress upon your minds — that 
 tlie Sun of Light is a Living Being, the only True and Living God, that 
 has life and being throughout all the vast eternity of the universe? 
 
 If you do, we will come back to this our good old mother earth, and 
 take a long look away back through the long vista of the Eternal Ages 
 of ages that have rolled away since this, our good old mother earth, was 
 created, and leaped into life and being a new-born babe, a Living Being, 
 a Livincr Soul. 
 
 *)-) 
 
 Do you doubt it — do you doubt the truth of the idea that this good 
 old mother earth is a Living Being, a Living Soul — that thinks, and feels, 
 and sees, and knows wdiat's what? If you do, will you just look down 
 through the strata of this good old mother earth, until you plunge into 
 lier living, throbbing, fiery Heart and Soul, and you wiil see, and feel, 
 and know that slid has all the Elements of an Oriranized LiviiiL'' Bein<'-? 
 
 And then cast your eyes to the North, the South, the East, the 
 West, and all around, an<l see her magniticent proportions; licr rivers 
 and lakes, her great throbbing seas and oceans, her magnilicent air, and 
 storm-clouds, lightning's-flash, ihunder's-roar, fiery volcanoes and earth- 
 quakes, tornadoes and hurricanes. 
 
 I tell you that the fairest, most dressy, flashy belles that ever dressed 
 and flashed and fluttered in New York, Paris or London, could not dress, 
 and swell, and flurt, and flurry, and storm and })Ut on airs with this, our 
 good old mother eailh. In her great, thick tortoise-shell of rocks and iron 
 and adamant, her living, throbbing, fiery Heart and Soul— her earth- 
 (juakes and volcanoes, and magnificent thunder-storms — we see all the 
 elements of an Organized Living Being; and I guess she has the Breath 
 of Life, and can jiut on Airs, and can blow and storm and speak like a 
 Thundering Jove. And you cannot doubt her great age — you cannot 
 U'ubt the eternal truths and historical facts written by the finger of old 
 Time. As we look down through the strata of this earth, we see it writ- 
 ten there that eternal ages have rolled away since she leaped into life and 
 being, a living soul, that thinks and sees and knows all things tliat wo 
 do. And sees and knows that we are so ^tujjid and blinrl that we do not 
 and will not see and know that the Sun of Light is our Creatoi-, our 
 Father, tlie All Wise, the Omnipotent, the Eternal, Living God. Yos, we 
 look away back through the long vista of the vast Eternal Ages that 
 have rolled away, bince when, as the stars and planets took their ]daces 
 in the universe, there was a little vacuum left, and we see a great rush 
 of little cells, little globes of oxviren and livdroiren into this vacuum, and 
 
 1

 tlic j^MuuL .JoIkjv.'iIi, the Crculur, ihc Suii uf Liglil, the <^'od of all J.ife, 
 poured iu his vivid, magnetic, electric Light, and wo see tiiese little crys- 
 tal cells of oxygen and liydrogen grai)i)le in the Love Embrace; and long- 
 continued, vivid, fearful lightning flashes and Umudcrs ru;ir; and we see 
 this good old Mother Earth leaj) into life and being, a new born, a little, 
 bright, starry, Living Soul — aye, a little globe of bright crystal waters, 
 when she first si)rang into life and being, and started out on her long 
 life-career and her daily walks around her hemisphere — for vast, unnum- 
 bered ages — of ages in mist and sunshine and storm-clouds. Yes, we 
 see the humid masses of storm-clouds, and see the vi\ id lightning's 
 ihi'-li, hear tlii' thunder's I'cal ami i"!! and cra>li in those uidcnown 
 ages of the long ago; in those infant days of this good old Mother Earth, 
 who wrapped a dee]> rolling sea all around her little, bright, stany Soul, 
 teaming, swarming, swimming full of little, bright starry, Lising Souls, 
 Living r.eings, that reproduced and multiplied, and worked, and toiled 
 and died, for vast, unimmbered ages of ages, until their dust and ashes, 
 and their coral reefs and fossil rocks began to lift themselves up out of 
 the deep rolling seas. And then we see the insects, the creeping things, 
 tlie grasses, the rej)tiles and the fowls of the air coming for untold ages 
 moi-o; and tlnii tlu' j^lanls, an<l llowevs, and seeds, and trees, and fi'uits, 
 and all animal life; and , 
 
 T.AST OF ALL, MAX. 
 
 So the great scientists of tlu" day tell us {Init I douH see it in Jtist that 
 v:u>;). 
 
 Our great Agassiz will lell you that all tlio living things, all the living 
 creatures, living beings, living souls, that ever lived upon the face of 
 this earth, in tlu; air and the Avaters thereof; all the fishes, the insects, 
 the reptiles, the fowls of the air, and all animal life, and even man— all 
 come into life out of an egg ; and that all eggs are composed of very 
 small cells, some of thousands and some of billions and billions of these 
 little cells,, so very small tiiat you have to use a very strong magnifying 
 glass to sec them ; and that these little cells arc very much alike in all 
 eggs, and that the great mystery of all life comes out of the combina- 
 tion of these little cells into v^^a of various sizes, shapes and forms, with 
 other combinations, surrounding circumstances and evolutions. Dut the 
 great mystery — the creation of these little cells and thrir lifr-jiroducing 
 powers — is still a mystery so great that the} cannot grapple it, cannot 
 exjil.iin it. 
 
 liut we look to the Sun of Light as the Creator of all things, of all 
 life, and the great mystery of these little cells and their life-i>roducing 
 jiowers is all explained. For when we lake a long, clear, steady look 
 over the whole face of our I\b)ther Earth, through all the spring and 
 Minuner months, through all the years — we see that all the mist and all 
 t'.ie evaporation that goe.s \\\) from the face of the earth, the river.s, lakes 
 a;,d se.is, and floats through the atmosphere ami gathers into clouds, are 
 all the same, billion and billions of these same lit! le mysterious cells. And 
 
as thoy float through tlie air nnd ^^^ather into clouds, the Sua of Light, the 
 Creator, the Great Jehovah, tlie God of all Light and the God of all Life, 
 looks ui)on them, Avarius, magnifies, vivifies and electrifies them; and they 
 become Living Germs, instinct with life; and in the humid, rolling masses 
 of the storm clouds, we see these little, mysterious cells of oxygen and 
 hydrogen mingle and clash, and grapple each other in the love embrace; 
 and the vivid lightning's-flash and the thunders roar, proclaiming afar 
 that billions and billions of little, brlglit, starry, Living Souls have just 
 leni.ed into life and being out of the little crystal oxygen and hydrogen 
 cells of the storm clouds, with the vivid, electric lightning's-flash and the 
 thunder's-roar. And we liold out a bright new vessel, and catch the 
 rain drops, and examine tiiem with a stro) g magnifying glass, and vre 
 see thousands and mllliuu,^ v( these little, bright, starry, Living Souls iu 
 one little rain drop. And we Avatch them from day to day, from week 
 to week, from month to month, and we see that they are little cannibals, 
 tlie large ones eating up their little brothers and sisters and neighbors, 
 until the great mass of these little, bright, starry souls disai)poar, and we 
 liave only a few warriors, kings and princes left, with their love mates, 
 that grapple each other in the luve embrace, and in time repioduce and 
 multiply themselves into families and races, a thousand different species. 
 Herein we have the great Mystery of all Life, the Origin and Creation 
 of all the living things, living souls, living beings that ever lived upon 
 the face of our iiood uld Mother Earth— in the air or in the waters. 
 
 Do you get the idea of the Oiigin and Creation of all Life upon the 
 face of this earth? If you do, Ave will look away down through the vast 
 ages, back to that great in-olilie time of creation, to that day and age 
 Avhere in this our Mother Earth leaped into life and being, and we see that 
 it was in that great day and age of creation that the Human Family— the 
 nuniau Kaee — was created; aye, we see the myriad billions of little, briglit 
 starry, Living Souls leap into life and being ii the same moment with 
 our good uld :\Iotlier Earth, out of the little crystal oxygen and hydrogen 
 cells of the storn-i clouds, the first little, bright starry souls that lived, 
 and teamed, and swarmed iu the crystal ocean. And through myriad 
 billions of vast unnumbered ages of ages we see this creation go on 
 and on, and we see them multiply, and toil and struggle "up out of the 
 briny waters, and nestle in the mosses, ferns and flowers and ocean lilies 
 that" floated over the whole face of the deep waters— myriad floating 
 islands and continents. We see them fighting the great battle of life 
 Avith the fowls of the air and the fishes of the briny deep, until their dust 
 and ashes, and the coral reefs hnd fossil rocks, begin to lift themselves 
 xip out of the deep seas and oce ais. And again we see them migrate 
 and leap to the rocks, and islands, and mountains and continents. 
 
 Do you get tlie i lea ? 
 
 Can you see the weary waste of the ages of ages througli which the 
 human species, the hu.naii race, struggled uj) and u]) since they first 
 leaped into life ar.d being in ihe same mument with this our good old 
 
8 
 
 Mother Earth? Can you see the huinaii species, llio human race, at that 
 great Day of Creation, in the little, briy;lit, starry «uuid of the Ktorm 
 cluuJs, So very small that you eoukl not liave seen them only by using 
 a very htioiig magnifying glass? 
 
 And can you see, and believe, and know tliatall — all tlie great mon- 
 sters that e\ cr li\ cd in iIkj deep seas, or upon the faee of this earth, all 
 came into life and being out of the same little mysterious cells, little 
 mysterious beings, so very small that you could not see them, in their 
 day and age of creation, only by using a very strong magnifying glass? 
 And that they fought the great battle of life up, and up, and up, for 
 billions of vast ages, until they cro[)ped out into the great monsters that 
 they ^vere in their greatest might and strength and glory ? 
 
 AVe see and know that all organized animal life — the fishes, the in- 
 sects, the reptiles, the fowls of the air, eve-ry living creature, every liv- 
 inti- beinu", evorv li\ inir thini/ that ever h;ul life and belnLT upon ihe face 
 of our good old Mother Earth — all re[)i-oduce and mullii)ly themselves 
 from the production and combination of the same little mysterious ceils 
 into eirtrs of various si/e and form, out of which come all oriranized life, 
 according to the Aljjha and Omega of neverdjeginning Time, that ever 
 rolls on, and li\e u[) to the Eternal Laws ami Prineijiles of the GoA of 
 the Universe, through and by which this earth and all the stars anil plan- 
 ets, suns and systems, were created, and took ilicir places in the uni- 
 verse. 
 
 Have we imjn-essed the idea u[)on your minds that the Sun of Light 
 is a Living Being, a Living Soul, and llie Creator of all Life upon the 
 face of this our good old Mother Earth, anil a true and i)erfect image of 
 the God of the Lrniverse V And liave you got the idea of the unnum- 
 bered billions of vast ages that have rolled away since this earthand the 
 human species, the human race, first leaped into life and being? 
 
 Do you get the idea of the great battle of life, the long, Aveary 
 waste of ages that rolled away, as the human species, the human race, 
 fou'dit the great battle of life u[) and up, unlil we see them crop out, or 
 leap out of the dark, unknown ages of the universe, into the historical 
 light and fact and truth — old Japan, China, Assyria, Egypt, ami jjoor 
 old Moses and his God of the Jews, tluft did such wonderful things in 
 six days, about six thousand years ago ? Then Persia, Greece ami IJome. 
 
 lint I cannot stop here to diagnose poor old Closes and his God; for 
 I see hundreds and thousands who cannot see and believe and know that 
 the Sun of Light is a Living Being, a ],iviiig Soul — the great Jcho\ah, 
 the God of all Light and the God of all Life, the Omnipotent, the Eter- 
 nal, Living God, the Creator of all things, who sees and knows all the 
 work that he has done, ami rules, ilirects and governs all by eternal laws 
 and princij)les that never fail. 
 
 For all who doubi and cannot see and believe, we will stop just here. 
 Why, if the Sun, the God that I wor>hip, should sicken and die, and his 
 great light, electricity and great heal, his great mind and intellect should 
 
9 
 
 flicker and go out, and become a rotten, cliaotic mass of Egyptian darkness 
 — in tliat awful day, I tell you, there would be a crash of worlds, and you 
 mi'dit slirjek and howl and cry unto the God of the Jews, and unto your 
 Catholic and Protestant Gods as loud ;is ten billions of thund;3rs, and I 
 tell-you they would not hear, would not heed you; and you might shriek 
 and a"roan anil dieaud rot, and all go to flinders with the awful crash of 
 worlds on worlds, and your old Jewish God, the priestcraft, the golden 
 calf, would go crash to flinders with you all. 
 
 Do you get the idea ? and can't you see and believe and know that 
 what I i)reach is true? Then when you pray, pray to the Sun. 
 
 And when you worshi[>, worship the Sun, the great Jehovah, the 
 only true and Living God, the Creator of all things upon the face of this 
 our good old Mother Earth — the grass, the plants, the flowers, the trees,, 
 the fruits, the grains and the cotton, the silks and the wool — yes, all im- 
 imal life, the fishes, the insects, the fowls of the air, and the wild beasts 
 and the sheep and the goats, the Jiorses and the cattle, upon a thousand 
 liills — all, all are the gift of his Creative, his Omnijiotent Will, that 
 never rests, never sleeps, never lets go; that creates and rules and gov- 
 erns; that holds on to all the vast immensity of the universe, from never- 
 beirinning Time until all Eternity. 
 
 Then for Light and Life and Health, and for all the good things of 
 this world, look to the Sun, and pray to the Sun, the Creator, the good 
 Father, that giveth all. 
 
 And remember that the only True and Pure Religion is to know thy 
 Creator, and to love and worship liim with all thy heart and all thy soul, 
 and to bve thy neighbor as thyself. 
 
 And to do unto all others as you would that they should do unto 
 you. 
 
 Do you get the idea? If you do, then remember that thy Creator, 
 thy Father, the Lord thy God, the Sun of Light, sees and knows all that 
 we do from the cradle to the grave, and that you can see him face to 
 face every day, when there is no intervening clouds to hide his bright 
 and glorious face. 
 
 You need no church, no jiriest to }»ray for you. 
 
 You can see thy Creator, thy Father, the Lord thy God lace to face. 
 Then when you pra}-, i>ray to him thyself. 
 
 And don't fortret to love thy UL-i^hbor as thyself, and to do unto all 
 others as you would that they should do unto you; a'.id you fulfill all the 
 the law and the gospel, and live the only true and pure religion that is 
 worth a cent to thyself, or tliy Creator, thy Father, the Sun, the Lord thy 
 God. 
 
 Then when you pray, pray to the Sun. 
 
 And when you worshiji, wor.shijt the Sun. 
 
 You need no Church ; you need no I'riest to pray for you ; you 
 pray for yourselves. 
 
 And remember that like e\cr be^.'-ets lihe, aiul that if youi- fathers, and 
 
10 
 
 your mothers, and you yourselves are not good and true, and pure and 
 kind and lovinj;, that your children c.innot be good. You cannot gather 
 goud fruit from an evil tree ; and I tell you, and tell yua truly, that the 
 Blood of Jesus Clirist ain't worth a cent in this day and age of the world 
 to purge, and purify, redeem and save ilie human race. .For as the 
 athers and the mothers are, so will ilie children be . , ■ 
 
 "well, AVIIAT TIIKX? AVIIAT AVOL l.I) YOU HAVE US DO?" 
 
 Why I tell you, and tell you truly, that the only way to purge and 
 purify, redeem and save the human race, is to put away all things that 
 corrui»t, demoralize, degrade aiul enslave, such as lium and Whisky, 
 Brandy and all Distilled Liquors, and all Drinking Saloons, and all 
 other vile and iilihy places that lead to vice and crime, and then be good 
 and jiure, and true, and honest, and kind, and loving youi-selves. 
 
 And don't forget to love and worship thy Creator with all thy 
 heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind, and wiili all thy strength, 
 and to love thy neighbor as thyself, and to do unto all others as you 
 would that they should do unto you; and in time we may look for 
 belter fruit — good, sound, healthy children, kind and loving sons and 
 dau'diters, that shall grow up into manhood and womanhood, good, 
 and great, and kind, and loving, whose lives and faces shall glitter and 
 shine with liitellerl and iiund, knowledge and wisdom, like unto^the faces 
 of the true sons and daughters of God. 
 
 Then when you juay, pray to the Sun of Light, the Lord thy God, 
 thy Creator, thy Father. 
 
 rUAYEU. 
 
 We i)ray to thee, thou bright and glorious Sun, thou God of all 
 Light, thou God of all Life, our Creator, our Father, thou All-Wise, 
 thou Omnipotent, thou Great Jehovah. 
 
 We pray thee to purge, and purify, and save us with all the world 
 
 of mankind ; to watch over, guide and protect us through all the Journey 
 
 of Life, and give unto us this Day, and through all the Journey of this 
 
 Life, all the good things of this world, that thou, in tiiy wisdom, hath

 Claiming the right of individual sovereignty for myself and for all 
 the people of these United States of America, nude and female, 1 here- 
 ■wilh offer myself as a can.lidate for IMesident of the United States in 
 
11 
 
 1876, upon the following great fundiuueuuil I'rincipled of Government, 
 Indivi<lual Sovereignty, Equal Itighls and Universal Liberty in all things 
 for all i)ersons, male and female. 
 
 7\.nd as our fathers claimed in the Declaration of American Inde- 
 pendence : 
 
 " irc hold these truths to he self-evident, that all 2yersons have an 
 inaleiivthle right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and to secure 
 these rights Governments are instituted by the people. 
 
 And Ave hold that all persons have an equal right to the Land and 
 the Water, and the Air, and to all the good things that they can gather 
 therefrom by their own toil and labor ; that they are the gifts of the 
 Creator, the God of the Universe, unto all. 
 
 And we hold that no person, nor any combination of persons, com- 
 pany ur corporation, shall claim or hold any Lands, only what they can 
 cultivate or use for building upon, or for manufacturing or mining jtur- 
 
 suits. 
 
 And we hold that all this hue-and-cry about a Specie Basis and a 
 Sjjecie Payment is all a humbug and a swindle. 
 
 And we claim and hold that tlie only way to secure a true principle 
 of Finance that shall never change, never depreciate, is : Let the govern- 
 ment of the ])L'uple, tlie Government of these United States of America, 
 issue four or live hundred thousand millions of Greenbacks, or one, two, 
 or three billions of Greenbacks, with the right and the power to make 
 and increase it to five or ten billions, if the manufacturing and the busi- 
 ness transactions of tlie people should call fur so much. 
 
 And let the Government of the United States issue United States 
 Bonds to the same anuumt, with a loan and interest attached to them, 
 like tlie laws of the Medes ami tlie Persians, that m-vc-r change. 
 
 With a law establishing banking houses in all the towns and cities, 
 counties and villages throughout the United States, and jilace the Green- 
 backs and^the Bonds in these banks, and appoint agents to transact and 
 do the business of these banks for the Government and people, and to 
 loan out the Greenbacks to all i)ersons who may want them, at an inter- 
 est of from 3^- to 4.} per cent, on the dvillar to all who can give real 
 estate, houses and lots as security, or liie Bonds, and security of persons 
 that have real estate to give as security ; and all the agents of these 
 banks must give real estate as security for all the Greenbacks and 
 United States Bonds placed in their banks. 
 
 And any and all persons who get more Greenbacks tlian they can 
 use in their business or loan out to others at 3;} to U interest, can take 
 them to the banks at any time and exchange them for the United States 
 Bonds, and draw two and a half jier cent on the dollar for .the full 
 amount of the Bonds, which they can return to the banks and get Green- 
 backs for them again at any time. This will gise the people plenty of 
 money at all times, tind a cheap and unchanging banking system, and 
 will bring into the government of tlie ]»e<)i)lc a suiii-jieiit revenue to pay 
 
12 
 
 all the expenses of the Government, and kill off all the money rings, and 
 gold corners, and financial explosions, and smash-u[)s; 
 
 The Specie Basis and the Specie Payment is all a humbug and 
 a swindle ; that all sane, sound, reasDuing minds ought to be able 
 to see ami know to be such, gotten up ex[)ressly for the Hulls and 
 the Bears of the money rings and money corners, money gamblers and 
 finance smashers. Yuurs respectfully,

 ]. "We hold these truths to be self-evident — that all mankind" 
 — male and female — "are created equal ; that they are endowed by their 
 Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these are Life, 
 Liberty, Lidividual Sovereignty," and tlie I'ursuit of Happiness ; that 
 to secure these ri<>hts, Governments are instituted by mankiml, deri\i:iLr 
 their just powers from the con.^ent of the govei'iicd. 
 
 And whereas, the Land, and the AVater, an<l the Air, and the Sun- 
 shine, and Light are the free gifts of our Creator unto all mankind, male 
 and female ; 
 
 We, therefore, liold that every Living Soul of the Human Family, 
 male and female, are, and of right ought to be, free and individual 
 sovereigns, at the age of sixteen, with eipial rights in all things — in the 
 land, and the water, and the aii-, and the sunshine ; with equal jjolitical 
 and civil rights before the law and in the courts ; and the right to vote 
 and 'to be voted for, and to hold ollice, and tlie right of free sj)eech, and 
 a free j)ress, free religion and free love, and the right to work, and to 
 get and hohl property ; and the right to Jove and to make love, and to 
 enjoy that love with any and all ]iersons consenting thereunto ; the 
 right to choose their own love-mates and husbands and wives, to many 
 and make their own marriage contracts, and the right to dissolve and re- 
 jmdiate them again, when ihey do not and cannot iliid Love and L'nion, 
 I'eace, Enjoyment, Contentment and Happiness theriin. 
 
 3. And whereas, according to the Laws of Nature and of Nature's 
 God, woman ever has been, ami must ever be, the mother of all man- 
 kind (and of woman, too), and must bear the jKiins, and the sulfering, 
 ami the toil, and the care of motherhood ;

 and mull. cr thereof, and the father shall provide for the mother and the 
 child in their helplessness, and for tiie support ami the education of the 
 child until the community or the State, or the child's majority, shall re- 
 lieve lum therefrom.

 4. Alul wliereas, like ever jM-oduces like, and the infirmities, diseases, 
 dissijiations, jiassioiis and the vices and ciinuscf llie i)arc'nts are ever 
 A i.siU'd ui^on their children nnto tlie tliird ami foiirtli generation, and we 
 may safely say even u.ito the tenth and the twcU'lli generaliun; 
 
 Thei-elure, be it resolved, 'i hat the fathers and the mothers of our 
 children should l)e thor- .ugldy educated, and young' and healthy and 
 giuid and wise and temperate in ail things; ami that it is the duty of all 
 parents, and all of communities, and of ail States, ami of all governments, 
 and of tlie whole huinan famdy, to see that tlieir children are all well jjro- 
 videil for, and all well educated and thoroughly instriicled in all the 
 rny>teries of Life and Health, Disease and Death, and the great mystery 
 and love of the sexes; and the time to love anil to make love, and how to 
 select and choose love mates, husbands and wives, and to marry and 
 make marrii^ge contracts; and the enjoyments, duties and the responsi- 
 bilities tliereof; and how and w hen to dissolve and repudiate those mar- 
 riage contracts, when union, love, enjoyment, contentment, peace and 
 ha[)piness do not come and abiile therewith. 
 
 5. And whei-Cas, according to ^lature and Nature's laws, we believe 
 that at the time and age of jmberty, say from fourteen to sixteen years 
 of age, is the jiroper time to love and to make love, and to choose 
 love ujates, husbands and wives, and to marry and make marriage con- 
 tracts ; 
 
 Therefore, be it resolved, That it is the duty of all parents, and of 
 all 'jommunities, and of all States and all governments, and of the wdiole 
 human family, to provide all their young men and young women with 
 homes, and means, and husbands and wives of their own choosing, and a 
 good trade t)rsomei)rofession, or a legitimate, honorable business of some 
 kind, so that all the young men and young women of the coming ages 
 shall ha- e a fair and an equal start in the race of life.

 average of 14 to IG lines in u verse, wherein the uuthor'describes the Magie Medical 
 Healing Powers of tlie Gettysburg Katalysintj Spas, and attempts to discover tint 
 source, the fountain heads of tliesc wonderful .Medical Waters. 
 
 Tile autlior, in a prophetical, philosophical voyage, plunges down into the 
 iiviujT. throbbing, fiery heart and soul of this our old Mother Earth ; and ou return 
 taiwcs a peep into Milton's old Pandemonium, Hades, and in a moment leap.s back 
 to the liglit of day to drink again at those .Magic ]\Iedical Kaialysine Spas, tlicn 
 leaps off away down tlirougli the long, vast Eternity of never-beginning Time, 
 until he stands alone with tlie Creator, the God of Light, the God of all Life, in the 
 long ago when old Time was young and new, and saw all the .>-tars, new worlds, 
 planets, suns andsyitems, take their places in the vast Eternitj-of the unbounded 
 Ujiiversc, and saw this our good old ^Mother Earth, and the First Born, myriad bil- 
 lions of tlie little, bright, starry, living infant Souls of tlie Human Race lean into 
 life and being in the same moment, out of those little, mysterious, crystal Oxygen, 
 and Hydrogen cells, by the creative powers of the Sun of Light, the God of all Life. 
 And down through millions, myriad billions of vast ages this old prophetic philos- 
 opher watches thib ne\v-b(jrn World and its myriad Ijillions of little, bright, starry, 
 living Souls of tlie Human Race, up to tlie present time, and saw that every atom 
 of this our good old jilother Earth and every living thing, every living creature, 
 every soul and every living being that ever ilwelt upon the face of this our Earth, 
 all were created by the same Power, and came into life and being cut of the same 
 ll'itle, mysterious O.xj'gen and Hydrogen cells. 
 
 .Vnd lie saw that the Sun of Light, the God of all Life, and those little, mys- 
 terious O.xygen and Hydrogen cells were the source, the fountain-head of these 
 Magic, Midieal, Healing Katalysine Spas, arid that the bright Arcadia, the fair 
 Mecca, the New Jerusalem of Eternal Health and Youth and Life lies hidden iu 
 tile mineral, animal and vegetable kingdoms of this our good old Mother Earth, 
 and when we drink at these Magic, Medical Katalysine Spas, we drink thereof.

 Ami iieuial. hi ]ic:i<l;iclie pains; 
 
 Was at ttu' Very gales of Di-alli ; 
 
 I saw them standing wiile ajar, 
 
 And liic old Sexton in the Put tor's fielJ 
 
 Was si)adlng up the yellow clay, 
 
 ^Vllen first 1 stopped at Getty's Katalysine Spa.

 . Through bright, goKlcu clouds, 
 The gioriuu.s, .selling ^^llIi 
 Was slowly sinking in the west afar, 
 OY-r the blue; South, and Caloclin, 
 That last long, dark niountuin shadows 
 Far down over the glittering snows, 
 When first I drank at Getty's Katalysine' Spa. 
 Slam went the gates of Death, 
 
 And with a cold, dark, wrinkled brow, 4 
 
 The pale, white- winged Angel, keeper of the gate, 
 i^unousas the dark, howling thunder-storm, 
 Slij)ped in the boltiny- bar. 
 
 Bewildered at the magic spell, 
 
 I slowly turned me from the gates of Death 
 
 And througli the long, dark, weary night, ' 
 
 \\ ilh but one faint, glimmering, far-oli' Star, 
 
 Like the dawn of coming S])rin<i-, 
 
 I crept back to Light and Life ifiun. 
 
 The Sun of Light, the God of Life, 
 
 Leaped up a tiery, burning Jove, • •' 
 
 In the eastern sky afar ; 
 
 I tipp'd olf one more crystal, sparkling glass 
 
 Irom Getty's iMediea Katalvsine Sj.a j 
 
 The gates of Heaven stood wide ajar 
 
 And glittered li^e a sunset. 
 
 Diamond drifted sea, x

 Obedient Archangels bright, ' 
 
 That kept faithful watelx^- ' . ■ 
 
 Around the Sun of Light. ,,., 
 
 At the noon of day .. .• , 
 
 I dipp'd one more crystal, sparkling glass ' 
 From Getty's .Mediea Katalysine Spa ; 
 With eager-burning, prophetic, fiery soul, 
 1 lield It up to the noon-day Sun, 
 
 And with a myriad, prophetic, m'agic glass, •- ' ' 
 1 eered into its Bicarbonate, 
 
 Magic Lithia, crystal Soda, 'diamond drops. 
 Bicarbonate Magnesia, Iron and Lime, ' 
 Sulphate ot Lime, and Silica ten grains ; 
 it sparkled like a burning star ; 
 With myriad billiuns of living germs- 
 Little, bright, living, starry souls— 
 hi myriad billiuns of. crystal, diamond cells. 
 
 With eager haste I drank this magic glass, 
 And felt Its bilhons, myriad billions, 
 ^t iittlq diamond crystal cells explode: 
 And then- l.vi,,g. germs an<l lightning flash, 
 Jake 1 rojihetic Fij-es, • • 
 
 Went flashing through my fiery soul.

 Molten sea of living lire. 
 
 And these vast driits, myriad billions of diamonds bright,

 And leajied into the Central Citadel

 Through caverns, rocks and shoals ; 
 
 Distilled into jMedica Crystal Waters, pour

 Wrapped all around thy mighty heart and souk 
 
 Tell me, good Mother^ and tell me truly,

 Nay, nay, good sir, Propliet, Son of Sol, 
 
 The source, the fountain-head, the fair Mecca, 
 
 Lies far beyond my infant days, 
 
 Beyond my childhood's birtii. 
 
 Go talk to the Sun of Light, 
 
 The Creator, the God of all Life. 
 
 See this drift of diamonds bright, 
 
 'Twill tlood you to the outer gates ; 
 
 You'll pass Milton's old Pandemonium Halls, 
 
 And the Christian Churches' brimstone hcry Hell, 
 
 Hard by, to the left, dark and gloomy. 
 
 Good sir, Prophet, Son of Sol, good uiglit ! 
 
 I leaped upon the star drift 
 
 Of brilliant diamonds, 
 
 Glittering like the !Sun so bright, 
 
 And gulslied out through the throbbing valves 
 
 Of her good, kind, loving heart, 
 
 With the vivid lightning's llash, 
 
 The fiery Comet's Hight ; 
 
 Aye, we gulsh up in a migiil) cavern deep. 
 
 And hard by to the left 
 
 Stand the dark and gloomy walls 
 
 Where Milton's old ."^atan and his mighty host 
 
 Kept watch in Pandemoruum's 
 
 Brimstone, tiery, dark and gloomy halls — 
 
 Aye, the Christians' brimstone, fiery hell. 
 
 A faint blue brimstone light 
 
 Flickers through the dark port holes, 
 
 And 1 leapetl upon a gnlshed-up drift 
 
 Of graniie boulch'rs high, 
 
 IJard up against the (huk and.gloomy walls. 
 
 'Twas a fearful sight to see — 
 
 Such a mighty iiost of grim old I'opes, 
 
 Cardinals, Priests, Monks, Scribes and Pharisees, 
 
 Grim old gray lying Prophets Seers, 
 
 And blood-stained Clwistian W^arrior Kij)gs — ■ 
 
 All ^\l sntozing on their old, musty thrones, 
 
 And with a kingly sixty-four percussion shell 
 
lo 
 
 From Getty's black crime, blood-stained batile-lield, 
 I jiuuneed old -Mo>e plump upon his Ivin^' snoot. 
 
 He leaped up with a fearful yell ; 
 
 "Sparc me ! sjiaru uie ! Ali, God ! 
 
 1 did nut do it ; 
 
 'Twus the iMagieians, Prophets, Priests, 
 
 And the Wise Men of the Ea.^t ;

 And make believing I talked with God : 
 
 Tliut it was the oidy way to nde 
 
 The ungodly, stui^lnjrn, slili-necked Jews, 
 
 And make them pay tribute ^ 
 
 Tu Priest, Prophet, Scribe and Pharisee, 
 
 And to the grand Saidiedrini, Pulers, Kings, 
 
 The Personal Gods of the Jews." 
 
 And see all this mighty host, 
 Prophets, Scribes and Pharisees, 
 Old Popes, Cardinals, Priests, and Monks, 
 And bloody Warrior ChrisLian Kings ; 
 'Twas they, 'twas they that made 
 The old Jewish liible History — 
 A Christian lieiiig book. 
 ' And see here, too, we have your modern saints — 
 Uld John Brown and old Abe Linck — 
 Set on their bloody, ghastly thrones, 
 And swear and swear ihey didn't do it. 
 In their Christian, saintly eyes ' 
 
 'Twas the wicked rebels, you know. 
 
 And far to the left that bright, new throne : 
 You see it wi-itten in hlack letter scrawled 
 Upon a bright, new, golden plate, 
 Henry AVard JJeeeher — 
 
 Thela>t Personal God of the Christian Church — 
 Kest-hiding Hypocrite, Perjured Liar, 
 Lilierline and Sneak, 
 AVhieh he is.— (^l/o«//o.'.'.) 
 
 " 1 swear by the Chri.' '.ians' Holy liible, 
 And our Pord and Sax icur Jesus Chiist, 
 And by my l»eloved 1' . mouth Church, 
 Before this Court and .luiy 
 And all the Christian world. 
 By the Eternal, Ever Living God, 
 I Kwear and swear I did not do it — 
 'Twa.s Elizabeth that did it/' — ( Bttr.hcr.) 
 
 Ah ! Yes, just so — so I see, 
 
 Fiom old Adam di)wn to JU-echer, 
 
 All yon old li.'ing Christian saints 
 
 Lii' and lie, and lie sublimely, 
 
 And wi;h old Satan's brass and in»])udence, 
 
 Swear and swear ycmd'nl noi do it ; 
 
 'Twafi somebody else that did it — 
 
19 
 
 Ah ! 'twas the woman, the woman that did it ; 
 All right ! (iood-by, good-by, old Muse ; 
 You slick, all stick to'iliat. 
 I see that old tSutaiTs, old J^celzebuh's 
 Fiery brimstone I'aiidt'iuoniiuu's logs 
 Are goud, lei resiling, healing, very good 
 For all such old being Chri:<tiuii dogs. 
 Good-by, good-by, old Mosc ; 
 I'll call this way again. 
 
 This way, good sir, Prophet, Son of Sol, 
 
 The ghastly, gi'ini old gate-keeper calls. 
 
 And jjushed the rusty gates ajar. 
 "You ha\e raised a fearl'ul houl 
 
 And hubbub throughout all these gloomy, 
 
 Brinislune, hery, i)andenioniuni halls. 
 
 Come see and hear and write, good sir." 
 
 Tis well; your kindnest; I accept;

 I'll call again. Good-niglit, kind sir! 
 
 And upon that diamond crystal river's sweep, 
 
 Like the tiery comet's thght, 
 
 I le.iped up to the Light of Day, 
 
 To drink again at Getty's medica Katalysiue Spa. 
 
 "With restored, vigorous health and youth. 
 
 And the discovering, sanguine, jirophetic, liery soul, 
 
 Like the vivid lightning's Hash, 
 
 I leaped olt" o'er the blue South and Catoctiu, 
 
 Through bright, golden clouds, 
 
 To the far-oil", glorious setting Sun, 
 
 Down through the long, vast Eternity 
 
 Of the liiiinunbered ages of the long ago, 
 
 "When Old Time was young and new. 
 
 1 stood alone wiih God, 
 
 And saw the stars, new worlds. 
 
 And the planets, suns and tystems 
 
 Take their places in the uni\erse 
 
 Around the Sua of Light, the God of Life. 
 
 And I saw an emj)ty si)ace, dark and drear, 
 
 A cold, ghioniy vacuum, without a star;' 
 
 And from the North, the South, the East, the West, 
 
 Above, below, and all around, 
 
 There was a rush of little bright germs, 
 
 Crystal oxygen and hydrogen cells. 
 
 Like suidit, drifting, diamond clouds 
 
 Rushed nito this cold, gh'omy. Aacuum drear. 
 
 Oxygen and hydrogen crystal cells 
 
 Clash and mingle, gra]»ple in the love embrace. 
 
 And fearful, long-ccnitinued, vivi<l lightnings flash, 
 
 And awful thunders roll and jieal and crash. 
 
 And misty \;ipor-elouds roll up, 
 
 Aud fill all the gloomy vacuum with a halo-light, 
 
20 
 
 The vivid lighiiuiiLjs died away; 
 The thuii(U'i-s (.•('a>t'ti to n»ll; 
 The vapor-clouds dried ny) and disappeared, 
 And lo! a biiglit neu' star 
 lu rise enipLy vacuum now apjjears, 
 An infant babe, a jiew-born world. 
 Aye, 'twas our good old Mother Earth 
 .Fust lea[)ed int(j life and bi'iiig; 
 A vast 'jucan of biiirht, civstal water 
 Wrajjjjed ail around her infant heart and soul, 
 Teeiiiiny:, .•• uarniiny;, Hooded full 
 AVith billii;ns, myriad billions 
 Of little, bright, starry, living souls, 
 The lirst-born, living, infant race 
 Of the wonderful, mysterious human family. 
 Just leaped into life and being 
 In the storm-clouds, 
 
 Out of the little crystal oxygen and liydrogen cells- 
 Oxygen their mother, hydi'ogen^their father, . 
 Their Civator the bun of Light, the God of all Life. 
 
 Aye, Ave see them leajj intu life and being 
 
 hi the same hour, in the same moment. 
 
 With this oi'r good old Mother Earth. 
 
 And as she whirls off ujnui her daily walk, 
 
 And her yearly sweep around her hemis]>here, 
 
 I watch tliese light, bright, starry, human souls, 
 
 And see them gra]>pie in the love embrace, 
 
 Antl see them reproduce tlieir kind and like. 
 
 Through billions, myriad billions 
 
 Of va.'vt, uiiiiuiiibered ages of ages, they multiply 
 
 And toil and struggle up and up, live and die — 
 
 Aye! 1 see that it was the dust and ashes 
 
 Of the billions, myriad billions 
 
 Of these little, bright, starry, human souls, 
 
 Tiiat lived and toiled and struggled and died, 
 
 That heajied up the dce]» thick chalk beds 
 
 That lie lappM all around the heart and soul 
 
 Of this our good old Mother l"'arlli. 
 
 Ajid 1 see, I see them migrate. 
 Leap up out of the ocean's briny deep, 
 Ami iie.Nlle in the mosses, lichens, ferns, 
 Flowers and ocean lilies wliiti', 
 Tiiat floated and drifted in islands and continents 
 Upon till' bosuin of the briny d(.'ep, 
 Through billions, myria<l billions 
 Of the vast, unknown ages of the long ago. 
 I see them niuliiply, and struggle up and up, 
 Flitting over the bosom of the ocean deep, 
 Fighting the great battle of life. 
 With the myriad billions fowls of the air, 
 .And the lishes and monsters of the Ininy deep, 
 Through billions, myriad l)illions of ages more, 
 Until tiie chalks, corals, fossils, 
 Minerals, rocks, ish-uuls, mountains and continent.",

 Uf the briny oeeuii waves.

 And np throU';-li billions, niyi-iud billions 
 
 or Liie vast unknown ages of the universe, 
 
 Toil and struggle up and up and up. 
 
 Until we see them leap out of the dark unknown 
 
 Into fiction, fable, liistory, truth and fact — 
 
 Old Japan, China, Assyria, Kgy])t, 
 
 And poor old Moses and his God of the Jews, ,, 
 
 Persia, Greece and Rome. 
 
 Aye I I have scaled the unbattered walls 
 
 Of the long ago, of the never-beginning Time, 
 
 And leaped into its central citadel, 
 
 The glittering Arcadia, the fair Mecca —

 And stood alone Avith God,

 Unbounded, vast as never-beginning Time.

 Of the chalks, corals, fossil rocks,
