 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF 
 THOMAS JEFFERSON SIMPSON, M. D. 
 
 My great-grandfather started from England 
 to Virginia with his young wife, and my grand- 
 father was born on the ocean, and his father and 
 mother both died on the ocean and were buried 
 in the ocean. The ladies of the ship saved the 
 child, and when they landed in Virginia they 
 gave the child (my grandfather) to a man whose 
 name was Miller, who raised him and gave him 
 the name of Miller. He joined Washington's 
 army at 14 years of age, as a substitute for his 
 foster-father, and re-enlisted and served until 
 the war ended in victory. His foster-father had 
 no other heirs and left him thirty thousand 
 dollars, which he lost by going security for a 
 horse- and negro-trader, who lost all his money 
 gambling, and Grandfather Miller turned over 
 thirty kegs of silver with one thousand dollars 
 in each keg, and paid the debt; went to southern 
 Kentucky, took up land there, and made him- 
 self a home there; and enlisted again under 
 Andrew Jackson, and participated in the Battle 
 of New Orleans, and his daughter, Mariah Miller,

 was my mother. My grandfather, John Simp- 
 son, came from near Edinburgh, Scotland, and 
 landed in Virginia, five years after the close of 
 the Revolutionary War; and he, too, went to 
 Kentucky, and on Licking River married a Miss 
 Hashaw, then settled in southern Kentucky, 
 and while returning from the Battle of New 
 Orleans he made the acquaintance of Miller, and 
 took land and settled near him, and it was his 
 son, Andrew Simpson, that married Mariah 
 Miller and these two became my father and 
 mother long after they moved to Missouri, I being 
 the seventh child and sixth son. I was born on 
 the Simpson farm in section fifteen, township 
 forty-three of range sixteen, in Moniteau County, 
 Missouri. When I was five years old I went to 
 school just one day, and I learned the whole of 
 the alphabet in the forenoon, and it pleased the 
 teacher so well he let me sleep under a shade- 
 tree all the afternoon. When I was fifteen 
 years old I learned the multiplication table 
 complete in five hours, and answered every ques- 
 tion correctly; and the teacher told it at the 
 exhibition as a thing never heard of before, and 
 said that I could learn more and do it faster 
 than any one he had ever seen, and that he had

 been constantly teaching school for the past 
 seven years; that I entered the school in the 
 six-year-old class, and that I had literally, in less 
 than three months, crawled up and got on top of 
 the school. Then after a time I entered the 
 Dillamatter School at where Clarksburg now 
 stands. With over one hundred and twenty- 
 five attendance, many of whom were young men 
 and women, I was put in the eleven- and twelve- 
 year-old class, and in less than six months I had 
 again crawled up and got on top of the school; 
 and the teacher was called away on urgent busi- 
 ness. He left me in charge of the school, and 
 I gave perfect satisfaction to the school and the 
 teacher. It was during this school term that 
 South Carolina seceded and Fort Sumter was 
 fired on. Lincoln took his seat and old Bu- 
 chanan slunked away in disgrace, after turning 
 over all the arms and munitions of war to the 
 rebels. I had the promise of the appointment 
 to West Point by both Senator Green and 
 Congressman Woodson, but Green and Wood- 
 son both went with the rebels and I stood for 
 the Union, and captured the first rebel soldier, 
 with his double-barreled shotgun loaded with 
 thirty-six buckshot, and I fired the first gun in

 the war in Moniteau County, Missouri. I was 
 offered a captain's commission to enter the 
 Union army, but my brother sympathized with 
 the rebel Confederacy, and threatened if I went 
 in the Union army he would go into the Con- 
 federate army, and our mother would be left 
 alone and our home not cared for and unpro- 
 tected, and my education needed further atten- 
 tion, and for these reasons I did not enter the 
 Union army. I began studying geology and 
 mineralogy when I was twelve years old, and 
 before I was fourteen years old I had dug four 
 shafts in the earth to find coal, and struck coal 
 in every one of them. At fifteen I had found 
 and opened one of the greatest mines in the 
 State; that after continuous operation for forty 
 years, it is not half exhausted. In fishing and 
 hunting I was considered an expert. One goose 
 hunt footed up twenty-four dead geese and 
 twenty-four live geese in three hours. Eight 
 turkeys in four hours. Eight quail flying at 
 one shot. Two-bushel sack full of prairie 
 chickens in five hours. Toled up and killed by 
 poisoning enough crows, hawks and owls to fill 
 a wagon bed in one day. When I was twelve 
 years old I fenced the stock yard with hornet

 nests by going after night, plugging up the holes, 
 then sawing off the limbs or bushes they were 
 on and carrying and placing them around the 
 stock yard, and when I had six so located I 
 went around and removed the plugs. There 
 was no other fence needed, but I just had fun 
 galore seeing the stock leave the stock yard 
 double-quick, day or night, rain or shine, not a 
 straw could be taken. 
 
 From the 20th of August until the 19th of 
 December, 1867, when I was on a river boat on 
 its way from Fort Benton to St. Louis, with 
 about four hundred passengers aboard, and 
 hanging on sand bars nearly every day, on one 
 five days, on another eleven days, and still on 
 others, until the boat was out of anything to 
 eat; we were on half rations for ten days, then 
 on quarter rations for five days, then fourteen 
 days the table was never set nor food tasted, 
 except rosebuds and some elm bark. Old Red 
 Cloud on one side of the river and old Sitting 
 Bull on the other side. Two men, Blackmore 
 and Anderson, ventured half a mile from the 
 boat. Anderson was killed. Blackmore es- 
 caped. I was one that went out, drove Indians 
 back and helped bury Anderson, who had

 $1,700.00 in gold dust in the boat safe, which I 
 suppose was pocketed by the man with the key. 
 One family was near freezing to death. I went 
 and laid the matter before the commander of 
 United States Fort, and got blankets and sol- 
 dier's clothes for them. I saw bacon sell for 
 ten dollars a pound. I saw salt sold for its 
 weight in gold. That was the time when money 
 lost its value. Early in the morning a gang of 
 prairie chickens passed over the boat and halted 
 on a hill half a mile away from the boat. When 
 I saw a whole company of soldiers start after 
 them, I went the other way, hoping I might 
 find a rabbit. I was nearing a grove of big 
 cottonwood trees when the soldiers flushed the 
 chickens and they lighted in the very tops of 
 these big trees. I made quick two shots of over 
 150 yards with my Colt revolver and killed a 
 chicken at each shot, when they flew once more 
 and were gone. I heard a soldier holler out: 
 "See that man kill the two chickens a half a 
 mile with a pistol." I returned to the boat the 
 lion of the occasion. I was met with a great 
 acclaim as I went up the gang plank. I was 
 offered eighty dollars each for the chickens. 
 Then came the greatest trial of my life. I had

 not tasted food for fourteen days, but there 
 were two families of small children on that boat 
 and they were nearly dead. I just went and 
 gave each family a chicken, and walked away to 
 gnaw elm bark and rosebuds, if I could find any. 
 The next day Captain Smith of the boat bought 
 two barrels of flour and one barrel of sugar of a 
 trapper for enormous price. I got to my part, 
 as a first-class passenger, eleven small biscuits, 
 one teacup of sugar and a glass of water, and 
 ate it all without stopping, as, if I kept any, it 
 would be likely stolen. That was the best din- 
 ner I have so far ever eaten in my life. But my 
 conscience was clear I had saved the children. 
 Clagett's family, delegate to Congress from 
 Montana, and the other was Phillip Stephen's 
 family, of Moniteau County, Missouri. 
 
 In the last part of my fourteenth and first 
 part of my fifteenth year, I helped to cut and 
 saw the large red oak tree, and with my own 
 hands split, shaved and edged the shingles, took 
 the old roof off and put new roof on quite a large 
 house for those days, and performed the work 
 so well that it did good service without a leak 
 for thirty-four years. I also made an addition 
 to the house 12x28 feet, and dressed the rough,

 hard-seasoned oak with the jack and four planes, 
 and made the doors of fine walnut. I was my 
 own apprentice. I never had to learn a trade; 
 the tools and job was all that was necessary. I 
 could always make my own drafts for buildings, 
 bridges or other structures, either in stone, 
 brick, wood or metals, and could follow the draft 
 and do the work, let it be fine or coarse. In my 
 fifteenth and sixteenth years I was going to 
 school, mining, running farms and trading in 
 stock, and from that time until I was twenty- 
 one I mostly put in absorbing book education, 
 and all my life since I have made the study of 
 geology, mineralogy, the science of the earth, 
 the heavens, the eternal things and the eternal, 
 unlimited infinitude as a special study, combined 
 with human worship of all the human race de- 
 ducted from facts, and actual truths existing, 
 or obtained hypothetically or otherwise. I have 
 read and studied the Bible from Genesis to Reve- 
 lations, and studied it not with insane fear and 
 trembling, but with a full and determined reso- 
 lution to measure and weigh the exact meaning, 
 as well as all the underlying objects to be ac- 
 complished by the wording and meaning as 
 measured and weighed by the greatest gift of

 intelligence (God) to man, Human Reason, and 
 by so doing deduced the true facts and truths 
 therein to be found. Every fact, every truth, 
 every error and every fraction of either fact, 
 truth or error, was measured and weighed in the 
 balance of Human Reason, and where found 
 unsound, unreasonable, untruthful, false or er- 
 roneous, were at once canceled, as no such can 
 or could emanate from God, and only have ex- 
 istence as a negative to give meaning to the real 
 things. The Intelligence (God) of the earth, 
 the heavens, the eternal unlimited ethereal 
 space and infinitude is not made up of that kind 
 of stuff and silly twaddle. 
 
 Every debt or obligation I ever contracted or 
 was security for was paid in full. Seven times 
 during my life I have been in an ace of death, 
 and every time by accident, and it has always 
 seemed to me that the great ruling power of 
 the Eternal and Unlimited Intelligence, that 
 controls all infinitude, caused the danger to 
 move aside, that I yet live for some noble pur- 
 pose. The rehearsal of these accidents and 
 miraculous escapes would be interesting, did 
 space permit, but mere facts must suffice. I 
 never used coffee, as it does not support life.
 
 12 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 I never used tobacco in any form, and have all 
 my life considered its use a filthy nuisance. 
 Alcoholic liquors have all my life been kept in 
 my home and used as medicine, and in the same 
 way by my parents, and there never was one of 
 the family drunk, disorderly, or was ever ar- 
 rested for an offense. My moral character and 
 honest intent will stand investigation in any of 
 the many localities in which I have lived. My 
 object in writing this book is to get the people 
 to learn the facts, to see and understand the 
 truth, and to avoid false worship based on 
 falsehoods and misrepresentations in order to 
 mislead the ignorant people in order to get 
 money and wealth for the support of priests and 
 preachers.

 Dr. T. J. Simpson, of Neosho, who makes the 
 cure of consumption a success, spent a few days 
 in Sedalia. Dr. Simpson is probably the best 
 posted man in Missouri on mineralogy and ge- 
 ology, and seems to have the faculty of finding 
 more curiosities or freaks of nature in stones or 
 stone formations than fall to the lot of our 
 greatest scientific men. While here he showed

 in the world is harder, except diamond. In one 
 is shown a perfect human eye. Then another 
 stone showing a perfect onion, as if it were cut 
 right through the middle, which for rarity and 
 beauty exceeds anything ever found on this 
 earth. No diamond, opal, ruby or other pre- 
 cious stones will compare with this matchless 
 curiosity. Then another stone the wonder of 
 the world it shows a golden surface of the 
 earth with an azure blue sky, with the strata 
 turned up into a mountain peak, with a volcano 
 in active eruption, belching forth a great column 
 of black smoke from the top of which the wind 
 is blowing it away off in one direction and away 
 up above are to be seen black rocks as well as 
 two pieces of gold. He said he had others 
 which he has not yet developed. He said at 
 one time he had the finest cabinet in the state, 
 that he furnished specimens to the Smithsonian 
 Institute at Washington, D. C., on one of which 
 the carving cost $214. Dr. Simpson is a Mis- 
 sourian, born in Moniteau County, where he

 Simpson, is well known in Moniteau County and 
 Missouri. At the age of fourteen years he dug 
 several shafts into the earth remarkable for 
 one of that age and discovered and opened 
 one of the greatest mines in the state, better 
 known as the Simpson coal, zinc and lead mine, 
 which is still being successfully operated. At 
 the age of fifteen he was mining, running farms 
 and trading in stock. In school he was among 
 the foremost scholars of that day and time, and 
 we are informed, he was the first man in Moni- 
 teau County to declare himself for the perpetuity 
 of the Union in the great rebellion of 1861 and 
 '65. He got the first five men together to resist 
 the Confederacy ; captured the first war prisoner 
 and his big gun loaded with thirty-six buckshot; 
 and he also fired the first gun in the war in Moni- 
 teau County, Mo. 
 
 Prof. Simpson has large real estate holdings 
 and many other interests to look after, as well 
 as healing the sick and infirm. Still he takes 
 great pleasure in looking up curious and inter- 
 esting stone formations, and bringing to light 
 wonderful lines of intelligence in support of the 
 highest order of attainments in science. It was 
 he that projected and brought before the Cham-

 the best railroads entering the city, and is yet

 Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico in the richest 
 and most productive soil on this earth, which 
 was published free of cost, both in this country 
 and Europe, and the people learned for the first 
 time that there was a paradise on the earth 
 where the people and climate was unsurpassed, 
 and a rich productive soil, where they could plow 
 and plant for fifteen hundred miles without a 
 halt, except to eat, drink and be merry. It is a 
 well known fact that 150 miles from Kansas

 In connection with the above will say that 
 Thomas Jefferson Simpson is well known in 
 Missouri as a pusher in his efforts to develop the 
 resources of Missouri. The first fish and game 
 laws were written by him and put before the 
 legislature and became laws just as written. 
 
 It was through him that the charter was 
 taken out for the Fort Scott, Jefferson City & 
 St. Louis Railway Company, which resulted in 
 a railroad from Jefferson City seventeen miles 
 southwesterly, to which was afterward added a 
 tie road to the Osage river. It was started to 
 the great southwest but went nowhere. He 
 also projected a railroad to Chicago by way of 
 Quincy, Paris, Centralia, Columbia, California, 
 Lebanon, Little Rock to the gulf, with a branch 
 from some point about twelve miles from Cali- 
 fornia to Versailles, thence southwest to Car- 
 thage, and to be continued to the city of Mexico. 
 He had the road secured to the Missouri river, 
 on condition that the people of Moniteau 
 county would put $150,000 in the grade from 
 the river to California, which failed for the want 
 of enterprise in the people of California and the 
 county generally. The people at Chicago and 
 in north Missouri fully realized that if the rail-

 road should get to California it would continue 
 to the gulf and would be over 200 miles shorter 
 than by the Mo. Kan. & Tex. route, and would 
 also be the shortest route to the great southwest 
 and Mexico. Simpson at the time was largely 
 in debt, and was very much in need of money, 
 but he expended several hundred dollars in 
 working up the enterprise but it proved a fail- 
 ure because the people could not see and realize 
 the future of such an enterprise, which would 
 have put California far ahead of Sedalia and in all 
 probability with 50,000 population and prob- 
 ably with the state capital just southwest of 
 the fine flourishing city. While Dr. Simpson 
 has passed through great financial troubles and 
 strife, even with fists and gun, he has turned all 
 into victory, and, being a bachelor, his needs 
 are not large, but when he needs money it is at 
 his command, and California would feel honored 
 to have him as a citizen should he choose to 
 locate within her borders. California Demo-

 PREFACE. 
 
 The object of the contents of this book is to 
 convey to the mind of the reader a fair idea of 
 the most important things, matters, subjects, 
 religious beliefs, worships and laws, that have an 
 existence on the earth, in the heavens, or in the 
 eternal unlimited infinitude, properly criticized, 
 explained and weighed in the balance of Human 
 Reason, and deducing therefrom the proper 
 rules of human life while here on earth. Chap- 
 ter 1. I here present to the mind of the reader 
 the one thing in which the whole human race 
 has the most vital interest, that which causes 
 more trouble and sorrow and more pleasure and 
 happiness than anything else that this world is 
 heir to, and that is the baby, which I have put 
 in verse and song, "I Wish I Was a Baby." 
 Chapter 2. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader the fine stones of the earth and what 
 makes them valuable. Their fine polish, the 
 grandeur of their reflections, their prophetic 
 profiles, pictures, and the beautiful colors they 
 contain, makes them pleasing to the eye, valu- 
 able in the arts, and as ornaments in buildings

 and homes; and the great fossil kingdom is of 
 immense advantage in obtaining an insight as 
 to the structure and formation of the earth, as 
 well as all other planets that swing apace in 
 their orbits throughout all infinitude. 
 
 Chapter 3. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader how the earth was made. It is now a 
 well known fact that the earth was formed in 
 strata, and it is also a fact that the lower stratum 
 was formed first, and each and every stratum 
 formed on, one after the other, by a gradual ad- 
 hesive process, and that the material entering 
 into each and every stratum of the different 
 kinds of stone was of a very infinitesimal 
 quality, a mere aeriform dust, and the only way 
 that the material could ever have got into that 
 condition was by heat sufficient to reduce the 
 material to aeriform fluid, and thence again 
 formed into the stone strata, so that the un- 
 forming and reforming is continuous in all 
 matter formations throughout all infinitude. 
 Chapter 4. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader what causes earthquakes and volcanos, 
 and like causes produce like effects in all planet 
 formations throughout all infinitude. Chapter 
 5. I here present to the mind of the reader

 man's first existence on the earth was on the 
 great continents around the poles, probably, 
 over 50,000 years ago, and their progression 
 toward enlightenment and scientific attain- 
 ments has been very slow, as we can fully realize 
 when we see at this date the amount of ignor- 
 ance, bigotry and superstition of the great ma- 
 jority of the people that claim to be enlightened 
 still existing. Chapter 6. I here present to 
 the mind of the reader what constitutes the 
 Universalum, or orbit of the universe (solar 
 system) , by which I wish to convey to the human 
 mind the manner of movements of the planets 
 and all heavenly bodies of matters in the 
 eternal ethereal space and infinitude, and to 
 more fully explain the unforming and the re- 
 forming of -the earth and other planets, and the 
 ruling and controlling powers of Intelligence 
 (God) when acting on and through all the other 
 eternal things that have a coexistence with In- 
 telligence (God), and to illustrate the supreme 
 plan of eternity and infinitude. Chapter 7. I 
 here present to the mind of the reader twenty 
 eternal things that never were created and never 
 will be destroyed nor cease to exist. Each hav- 
 ing its own sphere of action to vie with and act

 in concert with all the eternal things in all the 
 eternal unlimited ethereal space and infinitude. 
 All ruled over and controlled by the eternal un- 
 limited Intelligence (God). Chapter 8. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader, What enters 
 into the live, intelligent human being, and what 
 is the result of dissolution? Chapter 9. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader how the human 
 beings and other animals come on the earth, and 
 how they pass away and are replaced, and 
 further than that no man can know. Chapter 10. 
 I here present to the mind of the reader the two 
 great barnacles of the human race, dividing the 
 earnings of the ignorant people. Chapter 11. 
 I here present to the mind of the reader Myth- 
 ology, the bulwarks and heavy artillery of all 
 the churches, loaded with grape, canister and 
 doubled and twisted chain-shot of hell and 
 damnation. Chapter 12. I here present to the 
 mind of the reader the great number of halluci- 
 nations, exaggerations, unmitigated lies, per- 
 fidy and falsehoods based on mythological im- 
 aginations. Chapter 13. I here present to the 
 mind of the reader some criticisms on the fabu- 
 lous lies in the Bible which, when the search- 
 light of Human Reason and consistency is

 turned on these great extravagant, overdrawn 
 fabulous statements found in the Bible, they 
 cannot but be cast aside as the writings of de- 
 signing priestcraft to overawe the ignorant 
 people, and by such unworthy methods obtain 
 money and wealth from them without labor or 
 exposure. The priests and preachers howl, beg 
 and threaten damnation after death, and the 
 fools, through fear, turn their hard-earned 
 money into the priests' or preachers' pockets. 
 Chapter 14. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader, The rod of Moses turned to a serpent; 
 the waters of the sea and river divided; the 
 Lord cast down great stones from Heaven and 
 the ground clave asunder. Chapter 15. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader the necessity 
 of destroying the filthy, unsightly, expensive 
 and entirely unnecessary use of tobacco. It has 
 the effect to impoverish the land wherever it is 
 grown. It brings poverty and want to the 
 users and their families. It depletes education, 
 intelligence, stupifies the mind, increases ignor- 
 ance, prostitution, tramps and hobos. The 
 money that is paid for tobacco, literally squan- 
 dered and thrown away, would more than fur- 
 nish all the footwear used in the nation. A

 thing not at all needed, an unsightly, filthy 
 nuisance, and its cultivation and use should be 
 prohibited by law enforced with a vengeance. 
 Chapter 16. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader, as I believe the best method and most 
 feasible plan to put fully under control the use 
 of alcoholic liquors, and I seek the cancellation 
 and eradication of all Sunday laws, as Sunday 
 was and is based on Mythology, purely an in- 
 vention of priestcraft for selfish reasons. Sun- 
 day is an abridgement of human conscience. 
 Right now there is more business done on Sun- 
 day than any other day in the week, and there 
 is no valid reason for its being holy, a great hob- 
 goblin and superlative breeder of hypocrisy, 
 based on ignorance and superstition, and its 
 sacred keeping foisted on mankind was and is 
 for pelf, and pelf only, for the support of priest 
 and preachercraft, to blow off their ancient, 
 musty, motheaten, galore to get the money of 
 the ignorant people. Chapters 17, 18, 19, 20 
 and 21. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader some facts in regard to Noah's flood. The 
 ancient, bellicose, extortions unmitigated, hook- 
 nosed Jew liar that wrote the story of Noah's 
 flood was probably the teacher of the liar that

 wrote all the rest of Genesis. Chapters 22, 23, 
 24 and 25. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader the shortcomings, indecent inconsistency 
 and irreconcilability of all the church worship on 
 the earth. Chapters 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 
 33 and 34. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader that we are very fortunate that we did 
 not get these last books of the Bible, and that 
 we would be a hundred times more blessed if we 
 never had got any of the books of the old He- 
 brew Bible. It will be noticed in Chapter 27 
 and 28 that it is very uncertain as to what the 
 teachings of Christ were, and is now, and in 
 Chapter 29 that the old Hebrew Bible is likely 
 far from what it was when written, and still it 
 is about the most worthless piece of property 
 that any person can have about the home. In 
 the first place, it is so vulgar, obscene and in- 
 decent that it destroys chastity by increasing 
 prostitution. Chapter 29. I here present to 
 the mind of the reader King James' translation, 
 and other facts. Chapter 30. I here present 
 to the mind of the reader that the Laws of 
 Moses did not come from the hand of a mythical 
 god, and it is there shown why the Bible should 
 be barred from all respectable homes. Chapter

 Confucius was a great and worthy man. How 
 worship first started by the worship of the sun, 
 then the fire, where they get the idea of burnt 
 offerings. Chapter 34. I here present to the 
 mind of the reader, How the priests, preachers, 
 church members, bigots and dupes and hench- 
 men claim that every good thing comes from 
 their mythical god, and stoops to all kinds of 
 trickery and pollute history and their own myth- 
 ical scriptures as well. Chapter 35. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader how our great 
 men are absorbing more intelligence (God) 
 within them, and the benefits of the wonderful 
 things they accomplish radiate to the people 
 of the whole world. Chapter 36. I here pre- 
 sent to the mind of the reader a general con- 
 spectus, recapitulation, rehearsal and explana- 
 tory references in support of the foregoing pages.

 always correspond to the character of their 
 worshipers. Chapter 37. I here present to the 
 mind of the reader the character of the Chris- 
 tian's God. He created a world with a full 
 knowledge of its destiny, and then terrifically 
 cursed it because it failed to meet his expecta- 
 tions. Chapter 38. I here present to the mind 
 of the reader that God swears in his wrath and 
 is jealous of strange gods and graven images. 
 Chapter 39. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader that right here in the central part of the 
 United States of North America, the most en- 
 lightened nation on this earth, near the center 
 of Missouri, six miles southeast of the city of 
 Tipton, what took place in the name of Christian 
 mythical God. Chapter 40. I here present to 
 the mind of the reader that the Hebrew God is 
 guilty of outrage, injustice and vanity. This 
 God was an all-powerful God, but with many 
 mean and detestable ways. He hardened Phar- 
 aoh's heart so that he would not let the people 
 go, and then sent upon him and his people a 
 long list of horrible plagues to compel him to do 
 the thing he hardened his heart to prevent him 
 from doing, just playing a game of hide and 
 seek with Pharaoh and his people. Chapter 41.
 
 28 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 I here present to the mind of the reader that 
 Paul, the inspired promulgator of divine truths, 
 tells us that the Christian's heavenly father 
 actually sends his earthly children strong delu- 
 sions to believe a lie, that they might all be 
 damned. It would look like he feared his little 
 seven by nine heaven would be overstocked and 
 he desired to work off the surplus on his left 
 bower, the one he done all the talking to (Satan) . 
 See first chapter of Job. Chapter 42. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader that the great 
 Jehovah God violates his oath and breaks his 
 promise. This same Jehovah at divers times 
 swears to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he 
 would lead their posterity to the land of Canaan, 
 but he made his breach of promise and would 
 not keep his oath. See Num., chap. 14, v. 34. 
 Chapter 43. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader the personal appearance of God. The 
 psalmist, in describing his wonderful makeup, tells 
 us " that out of his mouth proceeded fire, and out 
 of his nostrils proceeded smoke, and he rode upon 
 a cherub and did fly." II Sam., chap. 22, 9-11. 
 Oh, but that was a lovely God. Nothing but 
 Satan would be suited for a riding companion. 
 Chapter 44. I here present to the mind of the
 
 PREFACE. 29 
 
 reader, The chief end of man is to glorify God, 
 so says the Christian. All such silly twaddle 
 comes from the want of a knowledge of what 
 constitutes the embodiment of Intelligence 
 (God). God is perfection, and when anything 
 is perfect, it cannot be added to, as nothing can 
 be made more than perfect. Chapter 45. I 
 here present to the mind of the reader, The God 
 of all Eternity and throughout all infinitude is 
 always with you in proportion as you adapt 
 yourself to receive God by allowing yourself to 
 be possessed of an untrammeled conscience and 
 wisdom to absorb the superlative gift to man, 
 Human Reason, which is the open door where 
 Intelligence (God) can enter. Just and perfect 
 reasoning absorbs Intelligence, which in turn in- 
 creases the force and power of reason to a still 
 greater acquirement to the extent of man's ex- 
 istence, absorbing more Intelligence (God) with- 
 in. Those that seek will find. Intelligence 
 never leads a human being wrong, but the want 
 of Intelligence that makes the way of the trans- 
 gressor hard, and brings to them an earthly hell, 
 all they will ever know. Chapter 46. I here 
 present to the mind of the reader that the age 
 when the Bible and mythical man, God, ruled
 
 30 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 supreme, every person by priestcraft stood the 
 assessments of the church, and when they re- 
 fused, charges were brought against them for 
 witchcraft, heresy or even heraclenite (that the 
 earth was not created) and they were murdered 
 by church minions or burnt at the stake to deter 
 others, and in that way forced them to pay 
 whatever the church demanded. There was no 
 such thing as freedom. All were Christian 
 church slaves. No wonder the priests did not 
 marry. They had more than enough to satisfy 
 the lust of old David or Solomon. But things 
 are more private these days. The confessionals, 
 the nunneries, and a slice off a cut loaf is " not 
 missed." Chapter 47. I here present to the 
 mind of the reader that perpetual vigilance is 
 imperatively necessary to maintain in this 
 country free thought, free speech, free, untram- 
 meled manner of worship, human reason and an 
 infidel constitution; all of which are necessary 
 for the universal welfare of the whole people. 
 Chapter 48. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader that honesty, uprightness and moral 
 character, when proven, should stand against 
 many charges brought against the accused at 
 the bar of justice. I again refer to Sunday,
 
 PREFACE. 31 
 
 which was and is now an invention of priest and 
 preachercraft to increase their revenue. Is a 
 humbug, a great damage to commerce and trade, 
 and the well-being of the human race, and all 
 laws in favor of its sacredness or holy protend 
 are an abridgement of human conscience, and 
 should be canceled and unrespected by all en- 
 lightened people. Chapter 49. I here present 
 to the mind of the reader that blind, dogmatic, 
 undoubting faith, not honesty, morality, up- 
 rightness, is what constitutes the Jewish, Chris- 
 tian, and all other modes of worship. Faith in 
 error, lies, fabulous untruths and great extor- 
 tions, fables, once the faith in them is established 
 it is just as strong as if the whole were truths. 
 Faith, not supported by facts as measured by 
 human reason and intelligence, is a myth in all 
 the worships of the world. Faith to believe a 
 lie is as strong as to believe a truth, where ig- 
 norance reigns instead of intelligence. Chapter 
 50. I here present to the mind of the reader 
 some idea of Moses and Joshua. While labor- 
 ing under delusions which they believed were 
 facts, they did the most detestable thing in the 
 way of butchery, murder, robbery, ghastly and 
 bloodthirsty deeds that the records of the world
 
 32 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 have ever shown, and I hope the reader will in- 
 vestigate the acts of these men and the big un- 
 believable lies that show in their records. 
 Chapter 51. I here present to the mind of the 
 reader some assertions and contradictions found 
 in scriptures. Chapter 52. I here present to 
 the mind of the reader extracts from the pen 
 of Pope, from the pen of Thomas Jefferson, and 
 it was Jefferson, Paine, Franklin and Washing- 
 ton that left God out of the Constitution.

 Fine Stones of the Earth and What 
 Makes them Valuable.
 
 CHAPTER 2. 
 
 FINE STONES OF THE EARTH AND 
 WHAT MAKES THEM VALUABLE. 
 
 Dr. T. J. Simpson, of Clarksburg, Missouri, 
 who has gained notoriety in both the State and 
 Nation for his knowledge of Geology and Miner- 
 alogy. For his writings on the formation of the 
 Heavens and the Earth. For his faculty of 
 finding more curiosities or freaks of nature in 
 stones or stone formations than fall to the lot 
 of our greatest scientific men. For finding, de- 
 veloping and demonstrating that the finest 
 agates on this earth are to be found in Missouri, 
 and can be found in Moniteau County, says: 
 
 I am the first man to publish the theory that 
 when the earth was formed there were outlined 
 profiles and pictures made in the stones showing 
 what would appear on the earth when it was 
 finished. 
 
 The Diamond, Tourmaline, Opal, Topaz, Sap- 
 phire, Ruby, Emerald, Amethyst, Turquoise, 
 Moonstone, Bloodstone, Tiger's Eye and Garnet 
 
 (39)
 
 40 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 have no profiles or pictures, and their value is in 
 their hardness, their fine polish, their many 
 beautiful colors, and for the beauty and bril- 
 liancy of their reflections. In the agate are 
 shown the stratified formations of the earth, 
 also running water with waving moss, such as 
 can be seen in running streams, as well as many 
 other pictures and profiles of things that are 
 and can be seen on the earth and in the heavens. 
 In the pellucid quartz are to be seen needles, 
 and veins of silver and gold. Looking through 
 transparent calcspar are to be seen the changing 
 lines and double vision, illustrating the moving 
 shadows of the sun. In the onyx are to be seen 
 the beautiful landscape scenes, lakes, islands, 
 seas, oceans, great storms and flying clouds. In 
 the Diamond, Tourmaline, Opal, Ruby and other 
 precious stones we realize the beauty and bril- 
 liancy of reflected light in all its shades and 
 colors. In the Tourmaline are to be seen mag- 
 netic and phosphorescent qualities, adding great 
 value as a jewel. On coal taken from deep 
 down in the earth where light has never shone, 
 can be found rainbow and peacock feather pic- 
 tures, the same as the colors given off by the 
 sun rays in all their beauty and splendor. In
 
 FINE STONES OF THE EARTH. 41 
 
 the sandstone one thousand feet below the sur- 
 face, we see bird tracks, and live frogs are found 
 in the solid stone. In crystalized stones we see 
 fishes and feathers. Fossil snakes are seen in 
 solid stone. Stones are seen full of worm-holes 
 with the worms, as it were, crawling through the 
 stones. In the bed-rock, fourteen feet below 
 the surface in Honduras, and under forty feet of 
 solid stone in Nevada, are seen human tracks. 
 In solid stone are seen tracks of cattle and deer. 
 In the stone deep down in the earth is found 
 cloth (Fenestra Culum) stretched across open- 
 ings, showing both warp and filling. In stones 
 on the earth, and stones that fall from the 
 heavens, there is coal-tar, from which coal oil is 
 made. Diamond is pure carbon and is the most 
 valuable substance on the earth, which indicates 
 that the carbon, stored in coal and wood, is the 
 most valuable substance the earth contains, as 
 without carbon no artificial heat or vegetation 
 could be produced. 
 
 In an serolitic stone is found a crinordal head, 
 showing the inside ribs and five foramans 
 through which the five nerves passed to the 
 sensorium, showing that the five senses existed 
 in the very earliest forms of animal life of this
 
 42 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 and other worlds. In an serolitic stone is found 
 the butt end of an ear of Indian corn, two inches 
 in diameter, grains well formed, natural size, 
 twenty rows on the cob. The pith or the inside 
 of the cob has been cut away to a smooth sur- 
 face, then with a carver's chisel has been en- 
 graved what appears to have been an alphabet 
 of some people that have occupied some disin- 
 tegrated planet, that probably was blown into 
 such small fractions that the gravitation attrac- 
 tion ceased and is now called "Nebula." 
 
 Agates and other precious stones, being of 
 aerolitic origin, are found in many parts of the 
 earth, as well as stones formed on the earth, 
 such as Onyx, Marbles, Calcspars and Calcar- 
 eous formations, showing many beautiful colors 
 in their constructions, as well as their crystaliza- 
 tions. Many of these fine stones of solid or 
 variegated colors are valuable for paperweights, 
 center-tables, or mantel ornaments, but it is 
 only stones that have some peculiar quality of 
 reflection, or stand forth so as to represent some- 
 thing valuable on the earth, or that has a profile 
 or picture of something that has been, or can 
 be, or will be seen on the earth, are what makes 
 them valuable, and the agates found in Missouri
 
 FINE STONES OF THE EARTH. 43 
 
 seem to possess more beautiful designs and pic- 
 tures than any other locality. I have, as I be- 
 lieve, the most wonderful agates ever found on 
 this earth, designed and fashioned by a higher 
 order of intelligence than mankind possesses. I 
 have an agate, showing a forge with the blaze 
 flying in all directions by the force of the air 
 pressure, same as when iron and steel are being 
 shaped. I have an agate showing the top of a 
 great building, with archways and high glass 
 domes on the corners. I have an agate showing 
 the emblem of the order of the Mystic Shrine, 
 the superlative Independent order of the higher 
 degrees of the Masonic Fraternity, showing the 
 eagle or tiger's claws holding the beautiful strati- 
 fied earth in their grasp, showing the central 
 nucleus as was described in my writings six 
 months before the stone was found. This stone 
 is about one and one-half inches wide, one- 
 eighth of an inch thick, cut, polished and trimmed 
 with gold as a pendant. I also have the twin stone 
 cut from the same stone, but thinner, one and 
 one-quarter inches wide, equally attractive, and 
 trimmed the same as a pendant. Just one for 
 the o^der in America and one for Europe. 
 These twin stones are of such rarity that the
 
 44 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 human race may never be able to duplicate 
 them. 
 
 I have an agate stone showing a planet, some- 
 thing like the rising sun, with stratifications 
 beautifully outlined and encompassed round by 
 the most miraculous encircling of white and red 
 lines with the right and left sides being the exact 
 counterpart of the other, which nothing but 
 divine skill could accomplish in construction. 
 Still this miraculous wonderment that this stone 
 was placed on earth to prove that Christ was 
 one of the many messiahs, men possessed of 
 such great moral character and Intelligence 
 (God) within them, to cause the people to wor- 
 ship them as God, or as mediators between them 
 and what they conceived to be God. 
 
 As the eternal and unlimited caloric, an at- 
 tribute of eternal and unlimited intelligence, is 
 the cause of all life on the earth by the effect of 
 heat of the sun's rays, so it is by the effect of 
 the sun's rays striking the face of this stone and 
 reflected onto a shaded wall produces a luminous 
 picture of the crucifixion of Christ, showing the 
 cross and the luminous body on the cross. 
 
 The great bewilderment and astounding re- 
 sult, that this little stone not much larger than
 
 FINE STONES OF THE EARTH. 45 
 
 a silver dollar, should possess the impress and 
 power within its formation when brought in 
 contact with the sun's rays to show to mankind 
 that the very stones of the earth are made to 
 proclaim the truth of the crucifixion of Christ, 
 one of the meanest and most ignoble crimes of 
 the hundreds of thousands perpetrated or insti- 
 gated by Judaism or Jewish priestcraft on the 
 human race; so mean and detestable that it 
 forced an impress on the very stones of the 
 earth. The cross, as reflected at a distance of 
 twenty feet, is about five feet by two and one- 
 half feet, the upright and cross-beam being 
 about two and one-half inches in diameter, or 
 as a whole, about 200 times the size of the stone 
 from which the reflection is made. To the 
 Christian world this is the greatest wonder since 
 Christ was laid in the manger. The cross has 
 been the emblem and beacon light of the Chris- 
 tians for over 1,900 years, and refers directly 
 to Christ and his moral precepts and teachings 
 while here on earth. This cross, this phantom, 
 this preternatural apparition has been photo- 
 graphed, and the stone is polished and trimmed 
 with gold as a pendant. 
 
 Some of the good followers of Christ ejacu-
 
 46 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 late that it is strange that this stone should be 
 found and developed and in the possession of a 
 man who does not believe in the divinity of 
 Christ. I would remind the gentlemen that 
 Christ came to the world through a nation of his 
 enemies, and that they are still his enemies after 
 nineteen hundred years; that they are afflicted 
 with a disease that is strictly hereditary, known 
 as religious bigotry, and that they would cru- 
 cify him again had they another opportunity , 
 as they once did. Priestcraft murdered all that 
 interfered with their income. 
 
 I have an agate showing standing vegetable 
 plants, the white roots with two red stocks, 
 which show three joints and the tassels, three 
 purple stocks showing joints. Two stocks al- 
 most white, nine golden leaffolds, some of which 
 are slightly touched with red, many white 
 leaffolds or flat casements that fit around sup- 
 porting the stocks, and with all there is a vine 
 on a dead stretch, pulling the outside leaffolds 
 almost double, and with sufficient force to show 
 a decided effect on 17 leaffolds and stocks. 
 
 Many of the stocks are more or less pellucid. 
 This stone is about two inches long and one and 
 one-half inches wide, and one-eighth of an inch
 
 FINE STONES OF THE EARTH. 47 
 
 thick, polished and trimmed with gold as a 
 pendant. The rarity and wonderment of this 
 stone makes its great value conceded and may 
 never be duplicated. 
 
 I have an agate that shows a beautiful onion 
 cut right through the middle, having first been 
 slightly squeezed with a side pressure so as to 
 open the folds, which for rarity and beauty ex- 
 ceeds anything ever found on this earth. No 
 Diamond, Opal, Ruby, Tourmaline, or other 
 precious stones will compare with this match- 
 less curiosity, showing up in many brilliant 
 colors. I have the twin stone, a slice cut from 
 the same stone, the profile being a little smaller, 
 but equally beautiful and attractive. These 
 twin stones are about two inches long and one 
 inch wide in the middle, their shape being an 
 elliptic, one-eighth of an inch thick, polished 
 and trimmed with gold as pendants. These 
 twin stones are of such rarity that if twenty 
 men should put in full time for twenty years 
 searching for such stones, they would, in all 
 probability, fail to duplicate them. I have an 
 agate, the amazing astonishment of the multi- 
 plicity of things, showing an azure, bluish-gray 
 sky, a golden surface with the strata of the
 
 48 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 earth turned up by an active volcano into a 
 mountain peak, from which is thrown a great 
 column of black smoke, from the top of which 
 the wind is blowing it away off in one direction, 
 and away up above are to be seen black rocks, 
 as well as several pieces that appear to be gold. 
 This stone is cut, polished and trimmed with 
 gold as a pendant, being about one inch long 
 and wide, and one-eighth of an inch thick, cut 
 as a heart; the amazing peculiar outlined pic- 
 ture it contains makes it very attractive, and of 
 great value as a pendant. I have an agate 
 showing a perfect human eye, cut so as to show 
 the middle of the eye on one side, and the front 
 of the eye on the other side. This stone is about 
 one and one-eighth of an inch wide and one- 
 eighth of an inch thick, cut octagonal, the colors 
 being brown, pellucid and white. This is the 
 greatest agate of them all. What would this 
 world be without an eye? "That all-seeing eye 
 to look, as it were, from the eternal and unlimited 
 intelligence to govern the earth, the seasons, 
 and the affairs of mankind."
 
 How the Earth was made.
 
 CHAPTER 3. 
 
 HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE. 
 
 How was the earth made? Five eternaV 
 things must exist before the earth could be 
 made: First, there must be space. Second, 
 there must be duration. Third, there must be 
 matter. Fourth, there must be caloric (heat). 
 Fifth, there must be intelligence. 
 
 These five eternal things existed, and never 
 were created, before anything ever was made. 
 Space to operate in, duration for the operation, 
 matter for the construction, caloric to make 
 construction possible, and intelligence to con- 
 trol and direct the whole performance from be- 
 ginning to end. A careful examination of the 
 earth and its attributes shows that from the 
 earliest period of its existence, serolitic boulders, 
 rocks and metals have been falling on the earth, 
 with the same kind of fossils in them, such as 
 fossil snakes, univalves, crinoidal heads, crin- 
 oidal stems, and many other fossils of the subcarb- 
 oniferous period, as were formed on the earth, 
 
 (51)
 
 52 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 illustrating the earliest forms of animal and vege- 
 table life, and as these aerolites were parts of 
 disintegrating planets, destroyed by explosions 
 or other cause, and are now called Nebula, from 
 which it is inferred that all planets are composed 
 of the same material as that composing the 
 earth, and that animal life was developed on 
 them in the same way, and resulted by pro- 
 gression into living, breathing animals, and to 
 human beings of the highest perfection, all hav- 
 ing a brain and a sensorium capable of absorb- 
 ing intelligence necessary for their use and ex- 
 istence. These Nebula, having no gravitation 
 attraction, have occupied ethereal space for 
 millions of years, until the earth, in its orbit 
 around the sun, and with the Universe in its 
 orbit around the great Universalum, its attrac- 
 tion absorbed the nebula, which in the form of 
 ssrolitic stones, gravels, sands, clays and soils, 
 fell in great showers on the earth, the most 
 heavy coming first, and the clays and soils be- 
 ing lighter, coming last, as they are found on 
 the Earth disarranged by the down-flowing of 
 water and abrasions. 
 
 It is unfortunate that these Nebulas exist in 
 the unlimited ethereal space, and that this waste

 material, such as the rocks and gravel, have 
 been piled on the Earth from a few inches to 
 hundreds of feet in depth. But as the Earth 
 was formed by the eternal, unchangeable, un- 
 limited intelligence: what now exists will re- 
 main until the next great change (which will 
 come). As the Earth was formed by gradual 
 process of adhesive accumulation of eternal, un- 
 limited matter that existed before the process 
 of formation began, as matter can be formed, 
 but cannot now be nor never was created. By 
 nature's fixed laws, all matter continues to 
 change, so that the Earth will disintegrate by 
 reversal of attraction or other cause, and pass

 Caloric body, it not only became lava, but was, 
 by the great intensity of heat, gasified into 
 aeriform fluid, so expanded and lucid as to ap- 
 pear to our vision as having no existence at the 
 point of greatest heat, and from that point is 
 where the formation of the Earth began. First, 
 the waste refuse matter formed into a central 
 nucleus of lava, combined with the Incandescent 
 Caloric to such an extent that all the gases, form- 
 ing water and air, and all the matter entering 
 into the strata of the Earth's after-construc- 
 tion, were in the firmament extending to the 
 limit of orbital attraction all around the nucleus 
 of lava, of about 7,700 miles, equatorial diame- 
 ter, and while in this liquid state, the revolution 
 of the Earth caused the shortening of the polar 
 diameter about twenty-six miles, around which, 
 as this great caloric nucleus body cooled, the 
 Earth's stratifications by gravitation attraction, 
 aided by the down-pouring of water, governed 
 by intelligent, gradual adhesive process, was 
 rebuilt as the present stratified formation of the 
 Earth shows have been made. The outside, 
 stratified, solid crust of the Earth covering the 
 inner liquid lava being about 113 miles in thick- 
 ness, with over fifty vent-holes, known as vol-

 canoes, to relieve the pressure of the outside, 
 stratified portion of the Earth, and were it not 
 for these vent-holes the earth would be blown 
 into smithereens, and being so disintegrated 
 and gravitation attraction ceasing, the matter 
 now composing the Earth would become Nebula 
 and waste material in ethereal space, which is 
 permeated with Nebulas, Earth matter, broken 
 stones and metals, ready at any time to be ab- 
 sorbed by the attraction of other planets in their 
 orbital course in the universe of universalum. 
 
 When the Earth expanded into aBriform fluid, 
 emerged from its baptism of fire, a new-born 
 world started whirling on its course of millions 
 of years, held in place by the eternal, unlimited 
 law of intelligence, drawing on its resources by 
 its own attraction, adding stratum after stratum, 
 absorbing aerolitic waste and nebula matter in 
 the sub-carboniferous, carboniferous and Per- 
 mian formations until all the strata were about 
 completed as we now see the Earth. This 
 serolitic waste and nebula matter increased the 
 weight and size of the Earth, which were added 
 to the regular strata each time it received its 
 caloric baptism of fire, which increased its 
 centrifugal force, orbital radiation and distance

 the temperature beyond a certain degree and all 
 vegetable and animal life disappears. Raise the 
 temperature beyond a certain degree and the 
 result is just the same. The eternal, unlimited 
 caloric that exists throughout unlimited space, 
 acted on by intelligence, forms and unforms all 
 matter or material things. 
 
 The eternal cold is the negative of Caloric, the 
 lowest degree of heat. As heat decreases, cold 
 increases. Where heat ceases to exist there is 
 perfect cold, and where Caloric attains to aeriform 
 fluid it can be added to in quantity, but its in- 
 tensity remains the same. When heat is given 
 off from the great Caloric body to all parts of 
 the universe by the sun, it is not destroyed. It 
 is still in the universe of ethereal space. There is 
 enough heat comes to the Earth every summer 
 to set it on fire and make it a barren waste, were 
 it not for the cold in the vaulted atmosphere 
 around the Earth mixing with the surface air, 
 as directed by the intelligent construction of the 
 Earth's attributes. 
 
 It is a fact from the above and the concensus 
 of all the evidence obtainable in regard to the 
 formation of the Earth, that it was made out of
 
 HOW THE EAETH WAS MADE. 57 
 
 eternal and unlimited matter; and that the 
 main, moving cause and origination was eternal, 
 unlimited Caloric (heat), producing the attrac- 
 tion and cohesion, as well as the animal and 
 vegetable life. (No heat, no life). The Earth 
 was formed hot and it is still hot, and there 
 never has been a time since it was made, millions 
 of years ago, that it was colder than it is now. 
 The Earth began cooling at the poles, and the 
 cold is now and has been for millions of years, 
 slowly moving toward the equator. The great 
 Glacial Epochs are one of the world's greatest 
 humbugs. Of course there are glaciers near the 
 poles, and some ice and snow slipping down a 
 high mountain once in a great while; beyond 
 that it is making mountains out of mole hills. 
 The drift, boulders, rocks, clays and soils, that 
 are scattered broadcast over and near the sur- 
 face of the Earth, come to the Earth from ether- 
 eal space, and are near where they struck the 
 Earth. A small portion may have found their 
 present location by the floating ice fields. The 
 moraines, erosions and abrasions are easily ac- 
 counted for with strata not sufficiently hardened, 
 and the crust of the Earth raising, falling, bend- 
 ing, warping and folding, and with half the

 water of the oceans in the firmament pouring 
 down on the Earth, causing great floods to eat 
 away the soft and unhardened crust and cutting 
 great canyons in a thousand years that would 
 now take a million years to accomplish. As the 
 universe is moving north toward the star Polaris. 
 The first torrid climate was at and around the 
 poles and moved gradually to the equator. The 
 first tropical climate was at and around the 
 poles and has moved gradually to the 
 equator. The first temperate climate was at 
 and around the poles and is moving gradually 
 toward the equator. The first frigid climate 
 was at and around the poles and is moving 
 gradually toward the equator, and when it ar- 
 rives at the equator, animal and vegetable life 
 will have disappeared. The ocean waters will 
 be evaporated and transferred into thousands 
 of feet of ice on the lands. The rivers will cease 
 to flow, the internal Caloric will be absorbed in 
 ethereal space. The sun's rays will fail on the 
 white ice, snow, and the crystalized salts of the 
 lakes, seas and ocean bottoms, and after millions 
 of years of whirling through ethereal space with 
 the universe, it will come in contact with the 
 great Caloric body. The ice will be melted, the

 oceans will reappear, the waters will be evapor- 
 ated. The Earth will go through its baptism 
 of fire and be converted into aeriform fluid ; then 
 rebuilt and go whirling on its course of millions 
 of years, with its new mantle, new universe, and 
 new heaven, and by intelligence acting on 
 origination and Caloric, the animal and vege- 
 table life will reappear, and the people will be 
 disputing over their corner lots, earn bread by 
 the sweat of their brow in order to pay the priest, 
 the taxes, and fight each other in religious and 
 political wars. Religious wars have existed 
 from the time the first Church worship was 
 established on the earth, for the reason that 
 church worship is and always has been a scheme 
 to procure money from the more ignorant and 
 unsuspecting people and church dupes, and the 
 church want of revenue. Rule or ruin for those 
 that did not contribute to the support of priest 
 or church rulers. Political wars are of a much 
 later date, and is a contention as to who shall 
 run the civil governments.
 
 What Causes Earthquakes and 
 Volcanoes?
 
 CHAPTER 4. 
 
 WHAT CAUSES EARTHQUAKES AND 
 VOLCANOES? 
 
 The earth, after its transformation by incan- 
 descent heat, and was transformed into a great 
 caloric body of about 7,700 miles equatorial 
 diameter, and all the water, gases and other 
 elements entering into the after construction 
 of the solid, stratified crust of the earth of about 
 113 miles in thickness, were in the firmament, 
 and as soon as the great caloric body cooled to 
 such an extent that the congealing water and 
 other elements composing each and every strata 
 as they are now found to exist, come to the earth 
 by the infinitesimal earth matter falling into 
 the water which covered the earth all the time 
 the strata were being formed. Non- air-breath- 
 ing animals were originated and lived under water 
 in the sub-carboniferous period, as their fossils 
 demonstrate, and up to that time, the greater 
 part of the water that came to the earth had 
 been consumed by being absorbed into the 
 
 (63)
 
 64 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 cement stone formation of the strata, and the 
 remaining water was not of great depth, and the 
 rotary motion of the earth on its axis caused the 
 water to recede from the poles toward the 
 equator, exposing the great continents around 
 the poles and the climate being tropical with 
 plenty of rainfall, and a moist rich soil, and all 
 the carbon of the earth being in the atmosphere, 
 and the eternal origination caused vegetation to 
 come forth in immense quantities, and as all 
 the central portion of the earth was a torrid 
 climate, causing the prevailing wind currents 
 to draw toward the equator, and the vegetable 
 matter in great drifts fifty to one hundred 
 feet in thickness and from fifty to five hundred 
 miles in width and length, floated away to all 
 parts of the earth, and were left where they 
 sank, and for a great age this process went on 
 absorbing carbon from the atmosphere into this 
 vegetable matter which, under the pressure of 
 the after strata above, coal was formed into the 
 great coal fields of the earth, and so depleted 
 the atmosphere of carbon as to make it possible 
 for the eternal origination to bring into exist- 
 ence lung-breathing animals, and by progression 
 to the human being of the greatest perfection,
 
 WHAT CAUSES EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES? 65 
 
 but likely did not make much headway until 
 the strata above coal up to the post tertiary 
 period, and the great showers of aerolitic boul- 
 ders, rocks, gravel, clays and soils had come to 
 the earth from ethereal space, which were the 
 finishing touches of completion. 
 
 The sub-carboniferous and conglomerate for- 
 mations are full of round, smooth-polished flint 
 boulders, and in the strata to and on the surface, 
 mixed with other broken stones, clays and soils ; 
 and no doubt received their smooth polish while 
 a part of some disintegrated planet before they 
 ever came to the earth. But the above process 
 of forming the earth was in progress for thous- 
 ands of years. The first or lower strata were 
 hot or mixed with water that was hot, and likely 
 is still hot, and as all stone strata is of cement 
 formation, and the particles were drawn together 
 by cohesive attraction which caused the body 
 to decrease in size. The upper strata were made 
 when the water was cold, and the cohesive at- 
 traction was accomplished in a short time 
 that is to say, the upper strata of some forty or 
 fifty miles were fully condensed, and to that 
 extent, hardened before the lower strata had 
 hardly made a start in condensation, but they
 
 66 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 did condense, and the shrinkage not only brought 
 great pressure on the lava core of the earth, but 
 lessened the diameter and size of the earth by 
 the strata becoming thinner and shorter in their 
 length, which caused them to shrink away from 
 the upper or outer strata, and as the upper strata 
 had to go down, and at the same time their 
 length was too great, then came the raising, 
 lowering, warping and folding of the upper 
 strata to shorten their length, so that a goodly 
 portion could rest on the strata below, and this 
 was the cause of the undulating surface of the 
 earth, which has, to some extent, been changed 
 by abrasions of down-flow of water and water- 
 courses. 
 
 One part of the upper strata settled down to 
 a lodgement on the strata below, and three, five, 
 ten, twenty, or even one hundred miles away, 
 another part would settle to a resting place, 
 leaving a great cavern from three to one hun- 
 dred miles in extent, and from a few hundred 
 feet to a mile in height, and the whole upper 
 strata of the earth is just permeated with these 
 great caverns. Many of these great caverns have 
 no water in them, and are filled with gas and 
 petroleum oil, pressed from the great coal-fields
 
 WHAT CAUSES EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES? 67 
 
 by the weight of the overlaying strata, the 
 pressure of the oil and gas being sufficient to 
 force the water out. When two thousand feet 
 thick of the ceiling, and fifty miles long and 
 wide by a diagonal slip breaks down, and falls 
 three thousand feet and jars the surface of the 
 earth for five hundred miles around, then we 
 say we had a big earthquake, and when two 
 hundred feet thick of the ceiling, ten miles long 
 and wide, breaks loose and falls one thousand 
 feet, we say we had a little earthquake. In the 
 earthquake of New Madrid in 1811, the cavern 
 broke through from the surface. When there is 
 an eruption from an extinct crater of a moun- 
 tain peak, it is an eruption of a volcano, not an 
 earthquake, even if it does shake the surround- 
 ing region. 
 
 It is unsafe to build skyscraper buildings, as 
 the location of the great caverns are not known, 
 but more safe on or near the mountains where 
 there are no extinct craters, than on the ordi- 
 nary level country. The great cave in South 
 Missouri, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and 
 Kent's Cavern in India are samples of such 
 caverns on a small scale. The actual united 
 thickness of the stratified portion of earth from
 
 68 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 the surface down to the molten lava, is not, and 
 probably never will be, known, as a calculation 
 of the temperature from the surface down by 
 arithmetical ratio would probably fail, as it is 
 likely that a great portion of the lower strata 
 has nearly an even temperature, by the heat 
 from below and cold from above. How deep 
 down in the earth these caverns exist cannot be 
 known, but evidently they are more numerous 
 from five to thirty miles of the surface. In 
 summing up the work of great ages, we realize 
 the complete earth, and intelligence acting on 
 origination developed animal life, which first 
 appeared on the great continents around the 
 poles, and there was where the great animals, 
 feasting on vegetation, and on each other as 
 vegetation decreased by the change of climate 
 and the encroachment of the water which finally 
 covered the whole earth, and the climate being 
 frigid, these great animals perished where their 
 bones and bodies are found frozen in ice and 
 earth matter near the poles, and their bones are 
 also found a great distance from the poles, 
 where they have been carried by the floating 
 icefields. Now we have the earth covered with 
 water, a glittering spheroid, as it swings on its
 
 WHAT CAUSES EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES? 69 
 
 orbit in eternal ethereal space. Then by the 
 great weight of the water, and the stratifications, 
 and their contractions on the great caloric core 
 of the earth which brought it under such great 
 pressure, that it exploded and bursted the earth 
 from pole to pole, and raised South America, 
 North America, Greenland, and many islands 
 of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and leaving 
 many active volcanoes which relieved the pres- 
 sure for another great age. While these conti- 
 nents and islands were raised up, the lands now 
 the bottom of the ocean, were lowered in nearly 
 the same proportion. Of the volcanoes then 
 made, many became choked and died away to 
 extinction, while the pressure increased during 
 another long period of time, and resulted in 
 bursting the earth from pole to pole again, rais- 
 ing Africa, Europe, Asia, and many islands of 
 the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and adding 
 greatly to the number of volcanoes, there now 
 being from fifty to sixty in active eruption, and 
 many more extinct volcanoes that the core of 
 the earth, can put in active eruption when the 
 pressure so requires. 
 
 Many of the mountain ranges thrown up in 
 the great eruptions of the earth, the strata were
 
 70 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 not broken through to the lava, but many of 
 the great internal caverns were broken down, 
 preventing earthquakes in their immediate vi- 
 cinity, making buildings more safe from earth- 
 quakes than the undisturbed undulating coun- 
 try. After the two great eruptions the heat 
 given off warmed the water and air, and the 
 climates beginning at and around the poles, 
 and moving gradually to the equator, and the 
 vegetable and animal life reappeared, resulting 
 in the human being to use, control, and govern, 
 to satisfy and make fruitful the adroitness of 
 eternal, unlimited intelligence. We do not know 
 why the earth was, and is peopled, or why all 
 other animals exist on the earth, nor we do not, 
 nor can not, know why the human race occupies 
 the earth, nor the exact process by which they 
 were originated, and for what grand purpose in the 
 grand plan of eternity and all Infinitude they 
 are here to fill; but we do know that we exist 
 and cease to exist, as the material in a human 
 being is matter and all matter must change.

 MAN'S FIRST EXISTENCE ON THE 
 
 EARTH WAS ON THE GREAT 
 
 CONTINENTS AROUND THE 
 
 POLES. 
 
 The great mammoths, with the flesh still on, 
 and their skeletons, as well as the skeletons of 
 other large animals, are found frozen in the ice 
 and earth matter, probably over 50,000 years 
 ago, or just after the post tertiary period, on the 
 great continents, around the poles, which first 
 had a tropical climate, and a moist, rich soil, 
 assisted by the carbon in the atmosphere, caus- 
 ing vegetation to come forth in immense 
 quantities, making it possible for these gigantic 
 animals to flourish there, and when these con- 
 tinents were gradually covered with ocean water, 
 and the climate becoming frigid, these great 
 animals perished, and the icebergs carried them 
 or their bones, together with millions of tons of 
 rocks, gravel and earth matter, and where they 
 grounded, melted and were left where they fell,

 covered by the earth matter. One great mam- 
 moth, having been left near Osceola, on the 
 Osage River in Missouri, and its skeleton was un- 
 covered and reclaimed by Dr. Koch, conveyed to 
 Jefferson City by five heavy wagons and shipped 
 to the London museum, for which he received 
 about fifty thousand dollars. St. Petersburg, 
 Russia, now has a skeleton of a great mammoth 
 found frozen in the ice of Northeastern Siberia. 
 The outline skeletons of the great animals 
 found on the east slopes of the Rocky Mountains 
 shows them to have been ten times larger than 
 the mammoth, which likely found their present 
 location by the floating ice fields. The femur 
 bone that was in Barnum's museum in New 
 York City in 1862, fourteen inches in diameter, 
 with a marrow cavity large enough to roll a ten- 
 inch cannon ball in and out of it, indicating the 
 whole bone to have been over sixteen feet long, 
 with joint ends thirty inches in diameter. Just 
 think of the size of the animal of which this 
 bone was a part of his framework. A mammoth 
 alongside of him would look like a goat alongside 
 of a mammoth. Such a bone would indicate 
 an animal 80 feet high, 150 feet long from eye to 
 tail not counting snout, tusk or tail with hide
 
 MAN'S FIRST EXISTENCE. 75 
 
 from one to two feet thick, and a capacity to 
 swallow a mammoth as easy as a duck could a 
 June bug. Armour's packing force scattered over 
 his carcass would look like a drove of little red 
 ants scattered over the carcass of a 3,000 pound 
 steer. It would take the longest railway train 
 pulled by the biggest Mogul engine to move the 
 contents of such an animal, and then stall on the 
 first grade. Should he be on the right-of-way 
 of a railway, and the train should interfere, he 
 could with one paw, box it off the track with the 
 ease that a grizzly bear could a small dog. If 
 it were possible for him to be running around 
 these days, and he should take a walk up the 
 business street of New York City, and change 
 his mind and turn around, with horn under 
 archway, and with a flip of his tail, the sky- 
 scrapers would tumble like a boy's cob house, 
 and it is also likely that the people there were 
 on the same grand scale, and that it were they 
 who were cast away on some great ice float, and 
 peopled the sunken continent of Atalanta. 
 
 When the Western Hemisphere was raised 
 above the ocean, Atalanta went down, the 
 remnant of these great people, which still exist 
 in Patagonia, from which these giants are traced
 
 76 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 by their human tracks in the solid stone of the 
 Andes, Honduras, and under forty feet of quarry 
 stone in Nevada, twenty-two inches long and 
 six inches wide, and probably originated on the 
 great continent around the South Pole, near the 
 close of the post tertiary period. The skeleton 
 of a woman sixteen feet high, found in Southern 
 Kentucky, whch it took two gallons of rye to 
 fill the inside of her skull. The human skeleton 
 found in a phosphate bed in South Carolina, 
 whose height was over seventeen feet, and was 
 six feet across the shoulders, with head twenty- 
 two inches in diameter, was likely one of the 
 last of the Atlantas, from which the ocean takes 
 its name. Also, the large human tracks in the 
 solid stone in Western North Carolina, and human 
 bones blasted out of the solid bedrock twelve 
 feet below the ocean, from the bottom of the 
 Saint John's River by United States Govern- 
 ment while improving the river, and all remem- 
 ber the great Goliah and giants of bible history 
 in Eastern Europe, which likely came from the 
 north of Asia; all tending to confirm the con- 
 tention that these great people that once in- 
 habited the earth, came about the same time as 
 the other great animals, and that all animate
 
 MAN'S FIRST EXISTENCE. 77 
 
 and inanimate life first came to the earth on the 
 great continents around the poles, originated 
 by the direct impulse of God, and likely were 
 of much greater perfection than now, especially 
 the people with their black skins, filthy habits, 
 and dwarfed bodies. 
 
 The expeditions to the North, so far, have 
 been foolish child's play. If the United States 
 and Great Britain would appropriate $20,000,000 
 each year for fivo years to establish stations 
 within easy reach of each other, and supply them 
 along the coast of Greenland and thence north 
 until the North Pole would be discovered re- 
 ported on, and all placed on the map of the 
 world. It might be that the North Pole would 
 be a big round mountain several thousand feet 
 above the sea, and all solid gold, with a big hole 
 one hundred miles across, blowing carbon gas, 
 with four hundred pounds pressure to the square 
 inch, with the pole right in the middle, and all on 
 fire to warm up and maintain an open polar sea, 
 and a big gang of old Californians sitting around 
 waiting to take a load out in the summer.

 weeks, then load up with some aerolitic boulders 
 that had fallen on the ice, and bring them to the 
 United States to show the people, when they are 
 to be found all over the United States, and a 
 carload would sell for five dollars, to fill some 
 mud hole. 
 
 I was just thinking that I would like to be 
 carried back about fifty thousand years, and 
 meet those big men on a hunt, carrying guns 
 twenty feet long, loaded for big game, with five 
 pound balls; where would the Roosevelt cat 
 hunters come in? Then I w^as in Dreamland. 
 I was in the widest, finest and greatest road 
 through an immense forest mingled with flowers 
 large enough to sleep in over night. Then I saw 
 a house. The doors about eight feet wide and 
 twenty feet high. 
 
 Then, I realized that I had really went fifty 
 thousand years in the past, and was in a city 
 of high houses and big doors. Then the big 
 people gathered around me, and they understood 
 all I said and gave me some grapes as big as the 
 largest apples, and the men were large enough to 
 carry two like me around in a hand-bag. They 
 asked me who I was, and where I was from. I 
 found that I could not talk of the past, but only
 
 MAN'S FIRST EXISTENCE. 79 
 
 of the present, and what I had learned. I told 
 them that we little white people originated on 
 the Ganges River in India, and had increased to 
 hundreds of millions, made many inventions, 
 carried commerce, education, enlightenment and 
 civilization to all parts of the central portion of 
 the great earth, that the little black people 
 originated in hollow trees in Australia, and now 
 number three-fourths of the little people on my 
 part of the earth, and that they were the little 
 white people's burden, and that the world 
 would be a great deal better off without them; 
 that their existence was a great mistake of the 
 originating machinery, and it was a great mis- 
 fortune, and now that we have found the best 
 part of the earth and the greatest type of all the 
 human race, that we would move over and live 
 with them, and leave the little black people on 
 the poor rocky soil, destroy the traveling stations 
 burn the bridges, and never allow the black race 
 to find the heaven of bliss. There we would rest 
 under the great vines and fruit trees, and sleep 
 sound, with nothing to disturb our slumbers; 
 where no reptiles, poison insects, blue-tail flies 
 or mosquitos are ever seen; cows that give a 
 barrel of milk at a milking, bee hives as big as

 a government courthouse, stingless bees as big 
 as turkey gobblers, bringing a quart of honey 
 each trip from flowers three yards across. 
 Truly, the land of milk and honey, and with the 
 fountain of youth to quench our thirst, keep us 
 clean, young and beautiful during life's limit of 
 200 years.

 beauty of form, and happiness of the living; 
 then the harps of a thousand strings 50 feet high, 
 and violins as big as street cars, dispensing music 
 in harmony with 5,000 singers that could be 
 heard forty miles, the dance would go merrily on. 
 Just think of the rustling of 200 yards of silk that 
 each lady would wear, and the silk hats of the 
 gentlemen that would hold four bushels of corn. 
 These big men would want our pretty girls for 
 Dolly Varden wives, and our little men could 
 never get too much wife. She could spank him 
 round when needed and carry him around in her 
 hand satchel when he was too tired. O, wouldn't 
 that be delightful!

 The people live temperate lives, they never 
 pray, being honest, charitable, just and truth- 
 ful; they have nothing to fear from a just, 
 loving Divinity. When the time comes for 
 them to die, they bid all good-bye, take their 
 portion and sleep in peace, laid in the ground, 
 no monuments allowed. They marry at matur- 
 ity, ladies at fifty, gentlemen at sixty years, by 
 application to the marriage commissioners, who 
 have them examined by a board of five professors 
 on human temperaments, as to their adaptability 
 and effect that such a union might have on the 
 intelligence, physical strength, perfection of 
 form, and beauty of the human race, and if 
 found satisfactory, the commissioners grant the 
 permit, and the judge of matrimony performs 
 the ceremony, pronouncing them man and wife, 
 and gives them advice on good morals now that 
 they are married for all time, and never divorced 
 in life nor death, as no man or woman can be 
 married but once.

 It is impossible to tell all that I saw and heard 
 in this short article. When aroused from my 
 slumber it appeared to me that I had been living 
 with the great people, studying their laws and 
 their ways for a whole year, when I had only 
 slept two hours. If I could have slept longer 
 I might have found out how long they had 
 occupied the country and from where they came.
 
 What Constitutes the Universalum, or 
 
 Orbit of the Universe (Solar 
 
 System).
 
 CHAPTER 6. 
 
 WHAT CONSTITUTES THE 
 
 UNIVERSALUM, OR ORBIT OF THE 
 
 UNIVERSE (SOLAR SYSTEM). 
 
 The Universe is such amount of ethereal space 
 as is occupied by the Planets, Asteroids and 
 Satellites as they revolve around the sun. The 
 Universalum is such amount of ethereal space 
 as is enclosed by the ellipse or orbit of the 
 Universe or Universes, as they revolve around 
 some great magnetic center, whose force holds 
 them to their orbits, and there may be many 
 universes in the Universalum at great or less 
 distance from the great magnetic center, as per 
 their composition to receive or reject the 
 magnetic force governing them. The ellipse, 
 or boundary of the Universalum, is of such 
 extent that the universe, moving at the rate of 
 500,000,000 miles a year, it would require about 
 200,000 years to make one trip or one Univer- 
 salum year, and the great sun star Arcturus, 
 probably 50,000 times larger than our sun, is 
 
 (85)
 
 86 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 near the south end of the ellipse, and the star 
 Polaris, near the north end of the ellipse, and 
 as our changing climates are now moving to 
 and toward the equator, indicating that the 
 universe is now about half way in its onward 
 sweep towards the Polaris end of the ellipse, 
 and will sweep past that perfect cold region in 
 about 50,000 years, where most of the Planets, 
 Asteroids and Satellites of the solar system are 
 enveloped in that deep unwakable sleep of 
 absolute zero, and as it sweeps south for about 
 35,000 years, the rays of our sun aided by the 
 rays of the great sun star Arcturus, caused the 
 equatorial frigid climate to be converted into 
 the temperate climate, and temperate climate 
 into the tropical climate, and the tropical climate 
 into the torrid climate, and all move to the poles; 
 vegetable and animal life reappear and exist on 
 the earth for about 50,000 years, and disappear 
 when the universe is about 15,000 years to its 
 nearest proximity to the great sun star Arcturus, 
 about 100,000,000 miles due south of it, where 
 the heat is incandescent Caloric and where cold 
 is never known, and will be converted into 
 aeriform fluid and fully charged with incan- 
 descent Caloric to last until it returns from its

 great whirl around the Polaris end of the ellipse, 
 while the universe in its onward sweep towards 
 the Polaris end of the ellipse for about 35,000 
 years; the earth will be reformed and be the 
 happy abode of animal and vegetable life for 
 about 50,000 years; and the climates beginning 
 at and around the poles, first the torrid climate, 
 then the tropical climate, then the temperate 
 climate, then the frigid climate, and all move 
 to the equator. At which time the universe 
 will be about 15,000 years of its nearest proxim- 
 ity to the star Polaris, and when the frigid 
 climate holds the equator in its grasp, the uni- 
 verse is then due north of the star Polaris, about 
 100,000,000 miles, sweeping again south for 
 about 35,000 years where the universe will 
 dress in new spring suit, and smile on another 
 celestial spring, summer and fall of 50,000 years. 
 Let it be observed that vegetable and animal 
 life cease to exist and reappear twice on the 
 earth, and many other planets in every univer- 
 salum year, once after heat and once after cold, 
 and that the earth and other planets are un- 
 formed and reformed once in each universalum 
 year. 
 
 The foundation of all language, all laws of the
 
 88 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 heavens and the earth, are based on opposition, 
 or the positive and negative principle. Where 
 there is a positive, there must be a negative. 
 Where there is heat, there must be cold. All 
 the most intelligent thinkers of ancient and 
 modern times are firm in the belief that there is 
 a hot place and a cold place on the orbit of the 
 universe. Heat forms everything constructed 
 out of matter. Heat unforms and reforms 
 everything that is made, as without heat no 
 change can take place in matter or material 
 things having a body substance. The above 
 outlined description of the orbit of the universe 
 and extent of universalum, and the manner of 
 operation, are purely my own ideas, and their 
 is no contention that the time and distance given 
 are correct, as there are not enough astronomical 
 facts known, to give anything definite as to time 
 and distance of the orbit of the universe, or the 
 extent of the universalum, and probably never 
 will be known. The Great Caloric Body that 
 works over and transforms Satellites, Asteroids, 
 Planets and Universes, may be the great sun 
 star Vega, Arcturus, Procyon or some other 
 great luminary, it matters not, so the results 
 materialize. With the surface of the earth at

 the equator going east over 1,000 miles an hour, 
 and the earth at the same time sweeping its orbit 
 about 63,000 miles an hour, and the universe 
 with our world, all the Planets, Asteroids and 
 Satellites, sweeping an indefinite but great and 
 unknown distance in the great speed of its orbit, 
 outlining the boundary of the great Universalum, 
 with 10,000 Universalums extending in all direc- 
 tions, each enlarging 10,000 fold on the one left 
 behind; ad infinitum, until a thousand milky 
 ways have been pulled down and cast to the rear, 
 still there is a hot place, and a cold place, dura- 
 tion, motion, power, force, magnetism, gravita- 
 tion, contraction, expansion, attraction, repul- 
 sion, electricity, vegetable and animal life, light, 
 darkness, ethereal space filled with earth matter, 
 broken stones, Nebulas, Satellites, Asteroids, 
 Planets, Suns, Universes, Universalums, thou- 
 sands of brilliant stars and milky ways still in 
 sight, with the greatest of them all, Intelligence 
 (God), to govern and control all throughout 
 infinitude. (Plenty of space for human souls, 
 but where?)

 There can be no limit to ethereal space. If we 
 were carried through ethereal space one million 
 miles per second for one hundred, million years, 
 we could see from the place where we stopped, 
 as many stars and planets as we can now see. 
 The duration, the caloric, the cold, the light, the 
 darkness, the attraction, the repulsion, the 
 power, the force, the orbital motion of planets 
 and comets, the natural law, the electricity, the 
 cohesive attraction, the contraction, the expan- 
 sion, the gravitation attraction, the attraction 
 of structural affinity in formations, the origina- 
 tion, the dissemination, the animate and inami- 
 nate life, the terrestrial and polar magnetism, 
 the diversity in formation, the unlimited change 
 in matter, are all eternal things to be and re- 
 main in ethereal space and duration as the at- 
 tributes of, and controlled by the eternal, un- 
 limited, unchangeable intelligence, the Emanuel, 
 the Deity, the God, in all things. The greatest 
 of all things that has an existence in the eternal, 
 unlimited ethereal space. Intelligence, life, ca- 
 loric, and matter enters into the construction 
 of all mankind, the just and the unjust. Intel- 
 ligence, life, caloric, and matter enters into the 
 construction of every living animate thing, from
 
 96 FACTS. TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 the smallest insect to the greatest mammoths 
 and whales, and in death and dissemination 
 their bodies, being matter, return to the earth, 
 and the intelligence, life and caloric, being 
 eternal things, having no body substance, still 
 exist in infinitude, each in its own ideality. No 
 part of the eternal things is ever lost or destroyed. 
 The same intelligence, life, caloric and matter that 
 has existed in all past eternity is still in existence 
 and in use at the present time, and for all future 
 time. 
 
 A school house is a place where, by precept, 
 the mind is made competent to absorb intelli- 
 gence that has existed throughout eternity. 
 What is it that causes the breast and lungs to 
 expand the first time, and the oxygenated air to 
 rush into the lungs, giving the first breath and 
 perfecting life it is the expansion and contrac- 
 tion of eternity acted on by intelligence. Light, 
 one of the attributes of caloric, is of such im- 
 portance that the whole plan of the heavens 
 would be a failure without it, and darkness is of 
 equal importance, as all animate and inanimate 
 life is conceived in darkness. 
 
 Caloric, acted on by intelligence, forms and 
 unforms all material things. Intelligence can-
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 97 
 
 not do anything only in harmony with the na- 
 tural law. Intelligence cannot do an impos- 
 sibility. There is no forgiveness in natural law. 
 If violated, the penalty is certain. Love, ama- 
 tiveness, benevolence, kindness, charity, virtue, 
 forgiveness, justice, truth and righteousness are 
 the higher attributes of life. All mankind are 
 prone to do good, right and justice, but commit 
 sins, crimes, violate natural law, and do evil 
 deeds by premeditation and persuasive influ- 
 ences. Intelligence can originate and bring into 
 existence and disseminate animal and vegetable 
 formations, constructed out of matter that 
 exists, and cause life to enter therein, but cannot 
 create the matter or the life. Intelligence, act- 
 ing on caloric, orbital motion, power and force, 
 can disintegrate, unform and re-form worlds, 
 planets, comets and all heavenly bodies con- 
 structed out of matter, but cannot create orbital 
 motion, power, force or matter. After the most 
 careful, exhaustive and profound investigation 
 of the formation, structure and adaptability of 
 the earth and its attributes, all human reason 
 shows that it was made by a very high order of 
 intelligence. In all the eternal, unlimited, un- 
 changeable ethereal space, matter solid, liquid,
 
 98 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 gaseous or aeriform is the only thing that con- 
 tains a material body substance. There is no 
 substance in the unoccupied ethereal space. 
 There is no substance in duration. 
 
 There is no substance in caloric. There is no 
 substance in cold. There is no substance in 
 light. There is no substance in darkness. There 
 is no substance in attraction. There is no sub- 
 stance in repulsion. There is no substance in 
 power. There is no substance in motion. There 
 is no substance in force. There is no substance 
 in the natural law. There is no substance in 
 orbital motion of planets and comets. There is 
 no substance in the power that controls orbital 
 motion. There is no substance in electricity or 
 its attractions. 
 
 There is no substance in cohesive attraction, 
 contraction or expansion. There is no substance 
 in gravitation attraction. There is no substance 
 in structural affinity or any other affinity. There 
 is no substance in origination. There is no sub- 
 stance in dissemination. There is no substance 
 in animate or inanimate life. There is no sub- 
 stance in terrestrial and polar magnetism or its 
 attractions. There is no substance in diversity 
 in formation. There is no substance in the

 change in matter in formations. There is no 
 substance in intelligence, which has for its attri- 
 butes everything in the eternal unlimited un- 
 changeable ethereal space. The highest, the 
 greatest, the superlative, the supreme essence, 
 the Emanuel, the Deity, the God that controls 
 and rules the heavens and earth. There always 
 has been great differences of opinion as to what 
 is meant by the words "God" or "Deity." 
 Put 100 men in a room and bring out one at a 
 time and ask each to write down what he con- 
 siders constitutes "God." And when 100 have 
 so written what they consider constitutes "God," 
 you will find you have 100 Gods all different in 
 their make-up and character. I say there is 
 but one God, and that God is Intelligence.
 
 CHAPTER 8. 
 
 A human being is composed of four eternal 
 things intelligence, life, caloric and matter, and 
 when intelligence, life and caloric separates from 
 the body, the body is matter. The application 
 of personality or gender to intelligence (God) is 
 simply a great stretch of the imagination, and 
 the theory set up by the clergy, that the earth 
 was made especially to develop human spirit 
 bodies with a personal identity, which at death 
 passed from the earth in countless numbers to 
 an eternal celestial abode of endless happiness 
 or endless punishment, is an apologue myth. 
 The object of such credulity is for the purpose 
 of obtaining wealth and support during life from 
 the ignorance of the human race. The argu- 
 ments are always the same by all of the hundreds 
 of church denominations. Pay the priest, sup- 
 port the church, and your eternal happiness is 
 assured. But if you do not pay the clergy and 
 support the church, then an eternal hell of dam- 
 nation awaits you. There is not now, or ever 
 (100)
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 101 
 
 was, a spiritual body. Such expressions as the 
 spirit of man, the spirit of God, God's spirit, 
 spirit of the Lord, good spirit, evil spirit, Christ's 
 spirit, spirit that walketh, angel of the Lord, 
 spiritual being, etc., are all mythical expressions, 
 do not and should not convey any meaning, as 
 there is no God except Intelligence, and Intelli- 
 gence has no real body or spiritual body. In- 
 telligence can pass through the greatest intensity 
 of caloric, greatest light, greatest darkness, 
 around the world, through cold steel, under the 
 ocean, to the bottom of the sea and without 
 limit in ethereal space. There is but one thing 
 that has any body substance, and that is matter. 
 Matter constitutes the body of all the planets 
 and their attendant satellites, and the body of 
 all the great caloric suns that store and radiate 
 the caloric (heat) to all parts of the Eternal Un- 
 limited Ethereal Space and Infinitude. Matter 
 is the body of all animals and vegetation on the 
 Earth, or that may be on any of the other 
 planets, all or most of which are likely in- 
 habited.
 
 CHAPTER 9. 
 
 The sectarian fanatical denominational ex- 
 pounder will stand and turn his eyes the reverse 
 of gravitation, and offer up his prayers to his 
 imaginary God up in Heaven above him. Now 
 suppose he stood in the same position for twelve 
 hours, his eyes would be looking in exactly the 
 opposite direction from when he commenced to 
 pray. The religious fanatic believes that there 
 is some place away from the earth in ethereal 
 space, a Heavenly abode where the spirit of the 
 just go to after death. At the same time there 
 is no such thing as spirit or God other than In- 
 telligence, and ten miles from the earth the cold 
 is about 1000 degrees below zero, and further 
 out still colder. The word spirit as applied to 
 eternal life is a myth, and has no meaning. 
 There is nothing eternal in a human being ex- 
 cept Intelligence, life, caloric, and matter, 
 and neither Intelligence, life, or caloric has a 
 body of any kind of substance, or any personal 
 identity. The words Father, Son and Holy 
 (102)
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 103 
 
 Ghost is another myth not in the Bible, and 
 has no meaning. Then that trinity business is 
 all mythology, and will not stand the force of 
 reason and criticism. There is no personality in 
 Intelligence (God) nor three personal identities 
 doubled up in one Godhead. The so-called 
 scriptures has never brought peace and good 
 will to the human race, but war, turmoil and 
 strife since their introduction, and the people 
 that inhabit the earth would be a hundredfold 
 more blessed if the scriptures had been sunk in 
 the deep ocean thousands of years ago and for- 
 gotten. There is something over thirteen hun- 
 dred million people on the earth. Now suppose 
 they all believed in some kind of an imaginary 
 personal God, and all of them of responsible 
 age, say eight hundred million would the same 
 day, all round the earth, stand and pray to 
 their imaginary God. They would all pray to a 
 different God, as no two human beings ever has, 
 nor never will, make their imaginations the 
 same. The eternal diversity makes it impossi- 
 ble for any two things on this earth or in the 
 eternal, unlimited heavens to be the same, and 
 never can be exactly alike. Here we have that 
 immense throng with their head the reverse
 
 104 FACTS, TRUTHS AND 11EASON. 
 
 way of gravitation, making their supplications 
 for their wrong doings, asking forgiveness, 
 praising and glorifying their imaginary God 
 with great babble and roar, as they ride the 
 earth from west to east over one thousand miles 
 an hour, and being hurled through ethereal space 
 on the line of the earth's orbital motions over 
 sixty-three thousand miles an hour. Forty bil- 
 lion human beings come on the earth and leave 
 in one thousand years, and when Intelligence, 
 life, and caloric separate from their bodies, their 
 bodies being matter, returns to the earth, and 
 Intelligence, life, and caloric being eternal, re- 
 mains in eternity. 
 
 Therefore, the intelligence in human beings is 
 the Emanuel the God of eternity, and the life in 
 the human being is eternal life, and never ceases 
 to exist. When Intelligence, life, and caloric sep- 
 arate from the human or animal body, we call 
 such segregation death, but there is no destruc- 
 tion, for no part of the eternal things can be de- 
 stroyed. The body is matter, and the Intelli- 
 gence, life, and caloric still exist in eternity. 
 The theory set up by bigoted sectarianism, Ju- 
 daism and priest-craft, that Intelligence, life, 
 and caloric, when they leave the human body,
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 105 
 
 still have a personal identity in a spiritual body, 
 and become eternal and exist somewhere in 
 ethereal space in a state of endless happiness or 
 endless damnation, is mythology by which the 
 priest and the clergy live sumptuously from the 
 sweat of the brow of ignorance by such hypoc- 
 risy. No human being ever has, or ever will be 
 able to fathom the eternal things or the extent 
 of the supreme plan of eternity. 
 
 Origination and dissemination, when acted 
 upon by intelligence, cause the human race and 
 other animals with their bodies constructed out 
 of matter, combined with Intelligence, life, and 
 caloric, to inhabit the earth, but their existence 
 is limited, as all matter continues to change, 
 and by death and disintegration they pass away, 
 and others of their kind take their place, but 
 the object and purpose of such habitation is a 
 secret and hidden attribute of eternity, which 
 no man has ever known, or ever will know. No 
 clergyman or priest does know of any reward or 
 punishment for the human race after death. 
 Eternity, and all the attributes of eternity, are 
 all silent on that subject, and when they preach 
 of the glories, joys and happiness of their imagi- 
 nary heaven, and the tortures of damnation in
 
 106 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 their imaginary hell, just count all such ignorant 
 twaddle as mythology, the larger part of their 
 stock in trade in their business. Excepting in 
 a few moral precepts the Jewish and Christian 
 religions are no better than Buddhism, Moham- 
 medanism or Brahmanical religions. True re- 
 ligion is the same in all the human race. The 
 attributes of true religion are Love, Truth, Jus- 
 tice, Honesty, Charity, Forgiveness, Kindness, 
 Virtue, Morality, Chastity, Uprightness, Sympa- 
 thy, Benevolence and Goodness, which, if pos- 
 sessed by any human being, that human being 
 has religion of the superlative degree, in any 
 race or country. Every human being should 
 strive to absorb and possess true religion, and 
 strive to be good, and make others good and 
 happy while here on earth. Should also declare 
 their independence and become free men and 
 women, and make a study of their best interest, 
 and for the best interest of all others, dispensing 
 charity and enforcing good morals.
 
 CHAPTER 10. 
 
 The two great barnacles of the human race are 
 the gamblers and the priests or preachers. The 
 business of both are on the same hypothesis, 
 that ignorance owes them a living and support 
 during life. Both dress sumptuously, both 
 despise labor, both hate each other because 
 what the gamblers get the priests or preachers 
 think they should have had. The gamblers 
 entice, beguile, lay get-rich-quick schemes of 
 promised great wealth in money and the good 
 things of this world; for all which the ignorant 
 piles their hard earned money into his lap of 
 fortune, never to be returned. 
 
 The preachers or priests belabors and expound 
 their scriptural mythology that every human 
 being is full of sin and iniquity, and that all 
 sinners not redeemed through and by the church, 
 after death, go to an eternal hell of damnation, 
 but if they will join the church, pay the priest 
 or preacher, and support the church, that after 
 death they will go to an eternal heaven of glory 
 
 (107)
 
 108 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 and happiness, and that the money so paid is 
 treasure laid up in heaven to their credit. For 
 all of which the ignorant piles their hard earned 
 money into the priests or preacher's lap of fortune 
 never to return in this world or any world to 
 come. For a thousand years prior to 1850, it 
 was a dead scramble with about evenly divided 
 either way as to who would get the money of 
 the ignorant, the gamblers or the priests and 
 preachers. But since 1850, the laws of the 
 United States, and other nations governing 
 corporations, freight rates and trade have so 
 favored the gamblers that they have got the 
 greater part of money and wealth of the world, 
 and are soon to get the rest unless there is some 
 great change made from the present status of 
 affairs, for the benefit of the human race. The 
 clergy, the priests and the preachers are in- 
 vesting their salary in get-rich-quick schemes. 
 Gambling in lotteries and board of trade gambl- 
 ing dens, showing that they believe that a dollar 
 in hand here on the earth is better than a thou- 
 sand beyond the grave in an imaginary heaven. 
 Over half the people (and the most intelligent 
 as well) in the United States do not believe in the 
 Jewish or Christian religions, and half of them

 that join such churches do so to stand in with 
 the church people to get their money, trade, and 
 votes at the election, on the basis of catch them 
 going and catch them coming, as the church is 
 just the best place on earth to set a trap for 
 fools. When the people first came on the 
 earth, some of the most crafty soon discovered 
 that all mankind feared death, and took out 
 perpetual letters patent on that fear. The 
 people not only desired to live here on the earth, 
 but they also desired to live after death. This 
 has been the bulwarks of all church worship, 
 and is the bulk of priest and preachercraft's 
 stock-in-trade in their business, by building up 
 a great heaven and a great hell beyond the 
 grave, and by making it possible for the priest 
 or preacher to send the mythical souls to an 
 eternal heaven or to an eternal hell of damnation. 
 Money paid the priest or preacher takes the 
 mythical soul to heaven, but if you pay no money 
 the way to hell is sure.
 
 CHAPTER 11. 
 
 Then comes mythology expounding eternal life 
 after death, and as there were good people and 
 bad people, and the good people did not want to 
 have the bad people go where they would go, 
 then comes more mythology with a great eternal, 
 imaginary heaven of glory, joy and happiness, 
 for the good people, and a great imaginary hell 
 of damnation for the bad people. Then in order 
 to sort out the good people from the bad people, 
 comes more mythology proclaiming universal 
 sin, that all were bad and none fit for heaven, 
 only those who would repent of their evil deeds, 
 join the church, pay the priests, and support 
 the church, could ever enter into and dwell in the 
 eternal heaven; and all that were not redeemed 
 through the church would go after death to an 
 eternal hell of damnation. 
 
 By such accepted mythology, priest-craft 
 
 ruled supreme on earth, but there must be a 
 
 ruler for heaven and ruler for hell. Then comes 
 
 more mythology with an imaginary God in the 
 
 (110)
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. Ill 
 
 form of a man, as supreme ruler of the heaven 
 and the earth, with shining luster of glory, 
 justice, goodness, forgiveness, and happiness; 
 and with an imaginary devil, also in the form of 
 a man, as supreme ruler of the eternal hell, 
 whose every thought and evil intent was to 
 torture with unrelenting punishment of dam- 
 nation the unredeemed after death. 
 
 Here we have a vision shown up before us of an 
 eternal trust in the profits of the earnings of the 
 ignorant of the human race. Priest-craft, ex- 
 pounding on the sublimity of their imaginary 
 God, and the glories and happiness of their 
 imaginary heaven, that the redeemed go to and 
 possess forever and forever in eternity; having 
 repented, joined the church, paid the priests, and 
 supported the church. But if they reject the 
 offer that their imaginary God will say to them 
 after death : " Depart, ye cursed, to the hell of 
 damnation prepared for those that reject the 
 church." The orator belabors the congregation 
 with his oily tongue, and even sheds tears of 
 sympathy for the unrelenting and unregenerate 
 until the boys and girls, and older people with 
 more age than intelligence, tremble with fear, 
 as they are told and made believe, that all are
 
 112 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON 
 
 full of sin and iniquity, and that they only can 
 escape eternal punishment by repentance 
 through the church. He tells all to come, 
 though their sins be mountain high, ye heavy 
 laden with the most vile sins and blackest crimes 
 of villany, by the grace of God's redemption all 
 will be wiped away, and that they will dwell 
 with God in the glorious heaven of peace and 
 happiness. So while the brothers and sisters 
 sing doxology, comes to God's redemption 
 before it is everlastingly too late, and there is a 
 grand rush, and a great many connect themselves 
 with the church, and their hard earned money 
 with the preacher's pocket, which is the object 
 to be accomplished by the whole scheme of 
 mythical dead beat from start to finish. So it 
 is now and has been in all time past. If the 
 priest or preacher is not paid he ceases all interest 
 in trying to help the Lord save souls. A God 
 that needs help and is a needy God is worse than 
 no God. The priest and preacher say they are 
 working for the Lord.

 tions, unmitigated lies, perfidy and falsehoods 
 based on mythological imaginations (that no 
 intelligent human being would ever believe) 
 that are scattered throughout the scriptures 
 fully illustrates the ignorance of the untutored 
 and unlearned people that existed where and 
 when the scriptures were written, and for the 
 howling clergy, priests and preachers to still be 
 trying to stuff an enlightened people with such 
 ignorant mythical twaddle is a disgrace to the 
 human race, and that is the reason the most 
 intelligent people of the world do not attend the 
 churches. Lies and falsehoods are lies and 
 falsehoods no matter where they are found. The 
 so-called scriptures, loaded with mythical ex- 
 aggeration, misrepresentations, lies and false- 
 hoods, are unbelievable and unworthy of belief 
 or acceptance as truth by the enlightened 
 nations of the earth; but their great age lend 
 enchantment to still make them attractive to the 
 (113) 8

 superstitious and uninformed people of the hu- 
 man race, but more so when forced on them 
 by government protection and influence, by 
 Sunday laws, and otherwise depriving the people 
 of the liberty of human conscience. Then that 
 Saint John's mythical bird cage city, 1,500 
 miles square on the foundation, and the same 
 in height, with outside walls about 200 feet 
 thick, and the whole on only 12 foundations, 
 with the gates 300 miles apart, and I suppose 
 the elevators being run by gravitation attraction, 
 reversed at will by the operator, sending them 
 up 1,500 miles and down again with perfect 
 safety, and all could have a change of climate at 
 any time, as the top story would be about 1500 
 degrees below zero. Talk about fixing the 
 ground for a world's fair site, as when the 
 people got word it was coming, there would 
 be some rustling around to get the foundation 
 ready, moving mountains, and leveling up 1,500 
 miles square. 
 
 The newly embodied righteous dead are all 
 to walk on the inside of the city, but the rail- 
 ways would have business carrying the ten 
 hundred thousand billions of the righteous dead 
 and just a few living saints. In ancient times
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 115 
 
 there were plenty of saints, but they are al- 
 mighty scarce these days. Then walking would 
 be good with the streets so nicely paved, and 
 the gates only 300 miles apart. The distance 
 from the center of the city to the gates would 
 be only 750 miles, but a walking angel could 
 make that easy enough before breakfast. 
 
 Then again, while the 1500 mile square cube 
 city was being lowered to the earth by a myth- 
 ical cable hooked fast to ethereal space, and the 
 surface of the earth at the same time moving 
 from west to east 1000 miles an hour, there 
 might be some difficulty in landing it just square 
 and plumb on the foundation; say somewhere 
 about the central part of North America, and if 
 the gravitation attraction and the rotary motion 
 of the earth were the same as now, the whole 
 thing mythical God, angels, saints and all, 
 would be landed in the North Atlantic ocean, 
 connecting America with Europe and Asia, and 
 raising the ocean water, inundating all low 
 countries and coast towns and cities of the 
 earth. 
 
 When we know that an aerolite stone of a ton 
 weight, by gravitation attraction is drawn to the 
 earth with sufficient force to penetrate the solid
 
 116 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 earth from 20 to 40 feet, we can get some idea 
 of the force that Saint John's mythical city 
 would strike the earth, and where it would go 
 'to, with the surface of the earth at the same 
 time going east 1,000 miles an hour. Saint 
 John, the poor old imbecile, did not know that 
 the earth was round, that it turned over every 
 24 hours, that there was any gravitation attrac- 
 tion, that 10 miles from the earth the cold was 
 about 1,000 degrees below zero, or that no hu- 
 man being could live ten miles from the earth, 
 not even a mythical god ; and if he was roaming 
 around in any part of the United States, he 
 would be in the insane asylum in less than a 
 week. And still the preachers quote extensively 
 from Saint John's Revelations. 
 
 The United States should not protect mission- 
 aries on any part of the earth not under the 
 jurisdiction of the United States. They have 
 no business there, and no legal right there, and 
 they cause national complications much to our 
 disadvantage, and do harm instead of good to 
 the people where they go. The money spent in 
 that way should go to the poor and destitute at 
 home, who need every dollar that charity can 
 furnish. The liberal minded people should build
 
 THE ETERNAL THINGS THAT NEVER WERE CREATED. 117 
 
 for themselves nice lecture halls, where they 
 could meet in intellectual intercourse, and in 
 that way acquire knowledge of the heavens, 
 earth, eternal things, and eradicate mythology 
 and mythological influences from mankind. 
 
 A priest or preacher could be called in and 
 deliver one of his soul-saving sermons. Then 
 would come a first-class critic to overhaul and 
 cut out all the faulty and mythical twaddle, and 
 false and erroneous things set forth in the 
 sermon. And in that way the true facts, truths 
 and reason that come before the attendants 
 could be ascertained, and in that way the people 
 would become more wise, and bigotry, and 
 church dogmas would disappear.

 CHAPTER 13. 
 
 CRITICISMS ON THE FABULOUS 
 LIES IN THE BIBLE. 
 
 In the beginning, (lie) . There never was any 
 beginning. God created the Heavens and the 
 Earth, (lie). God never created any of the 
 eternal things. If so, who created God. The 
 eternal things such as Intelligence (God) ethereal 
 space, duration, matter, caloric, and all other 
 eternal things have a co-existence and co-extent 
 throughout all past and future eternity. 
 
 The whole of Genesis is a mythological fable, 
 fabrication, fiction and falsehood, intended to 
 deceive, control and rule the ignorant people in 
 favor of the Levites and priestcraft. The whole 
 of the bible from start to finish was, and is 
 based on mythology and false foundation. First 
 an imaginary God, in the form of man, who had 
 sons, and by inference, a he God, a she God, 
 sons and daughters. No masculine gender can 
 exist without a feminine gender. There can be 
 
 (121)
 
 122 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 no sons without there are daughters. No posi- 
 tive without a negative. This great, powerful, 
 almighty, masculine God, possessed of all past 
 and future knowledge throughout the past and 
 future eternity being embraced in his make-up; 
 when pleased was all love, justice, kindness, 
 tenderness, forbearance and forgiveness; but if 
 some of his poor, ignorant people disobeyed by 
 error or lack of knowledge, His wrath knew no 
 bounds. He created a great heaven, and he 
 created a great hell. He created a good people 
 whose future existence would forever dwell in 
 his great, eternal heaven ; and he created a bad 
 people whose future existence would forever 
 dwell in his great eternal hell; and he created a 
 great devil to rule over his great hell, and nick- 
 named him Satan, and when the sons of God 
 made a feast Satan was there in council with 
 God in regard to their mixed business. 
 
 He created man, and did such poor work it 
 grieved Him at his heart, and he repented and 
 got old Noah to help him out of a bad job, and 
 took a new start. The spirit of God moved, so 
 he also had a spirit to succeed him in some su- 
 perlative God Heaven, being the same as man a 
 stepping-stone to a future imaginary mythical
 
 CEITICISMS ON THE FABULOUS LIES IN THE BIBLE. 123 
 
 existence, and at the same time there is no such 
 thing as spirit in Intelligence (God) or man. All 
 such writings are pure, simple bombast. The 
 idea that Intelligence (God) that fills all past 
 and future eternity would or could make mis- 
 takes, and be grieving and repenting is too silly 
 to be considered by the Hottentots in the 
 jungles of Africa. 
 
 Mistakes are made for the want of Intelli- 
 gence. Who ever heard of an inexhaustible In- 
 telligence that fills all eternity getting tired, and 
 this mythical want of rest was a scheme of 
 sham and deceit to foist a Sunday on the hu- 
 man race for the benefit of the Levites and 
 priestcraft to filch tithes and money from the 
 ignorant people, backed by Sunday laws pre- 
 venting them from working and attending to 
 their own business as they might have needi- 
 ness and desire to do, and by social and political 
 ostracism, force them under the sway and pay 
 to the preachers and priestcraft, against their 
 will and better judgment; and if any man ex- 
 presses his doubts in regard to the scriptural 
 mythology, or the mythological tenets and dog- 
 mas taught in all the churches on all parts of the 
 earth, he is pounced upon by the clergy, priests
 
 124 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 and preachers in defense of their dogmatic my- 
 thology. Not that he commits any sin, harm, 
 injury or damage to the human race, for what 
 he does is a great benefit to all mankind. But 
 it is because his opinions so expressed causes 
 the people to think for themselves, and steer 
 clear of such barnacles, and prevents them from 
 filching money, a living and support during life, 
 from the ignorant and unsuspecting, misguided 
 people. There never was a human being that 
 walked on unfrozen water; there never was a 
 human being in a whale's stomach three days 
 and then returned alive. The whale's stomach 
 would have completely digested and disposed 
 of him within the tune. There never was a 
 human being who went up to heaven, as there 
 is no such place up there. Up means straight 
 away from the center of the earth in all direc- 
 tions. There never was a human being, dead 
 or alive, that left this earth, nor never will be. 
 The body is part of the earth, and Intelligence, 
 life, and caloric being eternal, remains in 
 eternity. 
 
 The words Deity, God, Lord, Almighty, Je- 
 hovah and such expressions as God sees, God saw,
 
 CRITICISMS ON THE FABULOUS LIES IN THE BIBLE. 125 
 
 God looks, God smiles, God glorified, God helped, 
 God moved, God walked, God talked, etc., are 
 allegorical expressions allowable in language, 
 not real, as God does not need to see, hear, 
 feel, taste or smell, as God is everywhere, in 
 everything, in ethereal space or infinitude. God 
 is Intelligence, and acts from an infinite source, 
 and not from a finite source. The eternal orig- 
 ination originates all animal and vegetable 
 formations on the earth the impulse or moving 
 cause being Intelligence. God never interfered 
 in a battle, never healed the afflicted, never 
 tempered the breeze to the shorn lamb, never 
 made it warm on a cold day, never brought the 
 dead back to life, never interfered in any polit- 
 ical or other contest, never demanded any 
 praise, homage, glorification, adoration or wor- 
 ship; never pardoned a sin or a wrong act, 
 never walked, never talked, never was seen, 
 never will be seen, never asked thanks, never 
 received thanks, never made a present, never 
 made a gift to any human being, never made 
 suffering greater or less, never went up to any 
 heaven, never made any heaven, never made 
 any hell, never interfered with natural law or
 
 126 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 its penalties nor any of the other eternal things, 
 never heard prayers, never granted a pardon. 
 No defacement of matter or violation of natural 
 law can be restored or forgiven. A piece of 
 stone broken from a cliff, or a hack made on a 
 tree, can never be restored as it was. All the 
 eternal things have unchangeable fixed rules, 
 and when any change is made in or on any of 
 the eternal things, it remains changed. It is 
 erroneous to tell people that they can commit 
 crimes and do evil deeds, and that through the 
 power of the priest or church, that they can get 
 forgiveness. There is no forgiveness for crimes 
 and wrong doings, and any assertions to the 
 contrary are a swindle and cheat to get money 
 out of crimes, thefts, and murders anything 
 that brings money to church before or after 
 death.
 
 CHAPTER 14. 
 
 The rod of Moses turned to a serpent; the 
 waters of the sea and the river divided; the 
 Lord cast down great stones from heaven; the 
 ground clave asunder and the earth opened her 
 mouth and swallowed them up; the sun stood 
 still for about one whole day. The scriptures, 
 from Genesis to Revelations, are full of such 
 mythological, fabulous lies and falsehoods, that 
 no sane human being could, or would ever be- 
 lieve, which were easy to get into bible history 
 by the Levites and priestcraft, there being not 
 more than one in 50,000 of the people that 
 could read or write, and those who could read 
 never got to see or read the history, the same 
 being locked up and safely in the possession of 
 priestcraft, to be added to or taken from as to 
 them seemed most to their advantage; to filch 
 money and the fat of the land from the ignorant 
 people. Of course, these events, so falsely stated, 
 never took place, but these lies were worked 
 into bible history by priestcraft, probably a 
 thousand years later, to make the ignorant peo- 
 
 (127)
 
 128 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 pie fear God and priestcraft, so they would do 
 their bidding to accomplish their desires by 
 such great, fabulous lies from 1,000 to 5,000 
 years old the older the better, as age lends en- 
 chantment, and is the oil that greases the 
 wheels of the mythological wagon. For thous- 
 ands of years priestcraft did not allow the peo- 
 ple to have, read or construe the scriptures for 
 themselves, and men that expressed their opin- 
 ions were imprisoned and tortured by priest- 
 craft, the record of which will forever remain a 
 stench in the nostrils of the intelligent of man- 
 kind. Hundreds of thousands of good men 
 were slaughtered in the battles of the Reforma- 
 tion to overcome the villainy and dictum of 
 priestcraft. The feminine gender of the human 
 race are persuasive beings, and the amplitude of 
 the well-fed priestcraft provides them with 
 animal magnetism by which they can bring 
 undue influence over their female members of 
 tender age, resulting in nunneries, which are a 
 disgrace to civilization, and should be prohibited 
 by law. 
 
 No human being with, or without their con- 
 sent, should be deprived of their liberty without 
 due process of law, and sentence by the court.
 
 CRITICISMS ON THE FABULOUS LIES IN THE BIBLE. 129 
 
 Human beings are not consulted as to how and 
 when they commence their existence on the 
 earth, and they are not told when they will 
 cease to exist. They have as much right, 
 and as great a claim to a past existence, as 
 they have to a future existence, there being 
 no beginning or ending in the past, or in the 
 future all are blended in one eternity, and all 
 eternal things entering into their construction, 
 always existed. Finite beings can only claim a 
 limited existence anywhere, and by death and 
 disintegration they, as a whole, cease to exist in 
 any part of the future; but intelligence, life, 
 caloric and matter being eternal things still exist 
 separately in eternity, which has no limit in the 
 past or in the future. 
 
 Caloric, when acted upon by intelligence, can 
 unform and reform anything composed of intel- 
 ligence, life, caloric, and matter (when the action 
 is in harmony with natural law and all the other 
 eternal things), which includes vegetable, ani- 
 mal and insect formations. All formations 
 composed of the eternal things must include 
 intelligence, caloric and matter. Except there is 
 intelligence, heat and matter, there can be no for- 
 mation whatever. There can be no formation of
 
 130 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 a human body, except a material body, either on 
 this earth or in any mythological heaven. There 
 is but one way that a human being can get in 
 existence, and that is by the expansion and con- 
 traction of the infant's breast, giving the first 
 breath, perfecting life in a human being. There 
 is no way by which a human being can be born 
 a second time. Intelligence (God), and all the 
 eternal things (the attributes of intelligence) 
 cannot act when separated from matter. The 
 material must exist or no formation can take 
 place. All the eternal things cannot act when 
 separated from matter. Matter is the base and 
 foundation of the all eternal things throughout 
 infinitude. If matter could, or should cease to 
 exist, all the other eternal things would become 
 inactive and cease to exist also. Intelligence, 
 the highest, the greatest, the supreme essence, 
 the Emanuel, the Deity, the God, that controls 
 and rules over endless eternity, comes forth with 
 great pomp and show and meets old scar-faced 
 matter, with chaos scattered all over infinitude, 
 who looks up at Great Intelligence, grins, and 
 says, what would you be, Dear, if I was not 
 here? What exists in eternity after the death 
 of a human being, is Intelligence, life, caloric
 
 CRITICISM ON THE FABULOUS LIES IN THE BIBLE. 131 
 
 and matter, each having a separate existence in 
 infinitude, the same as before they entered the 
 human body, and all personal identity disap- 
 pears, both of mind and body, and all that 
 pomp and show of fine coffins, great monuments 
 and sepulchres are, for the want of Intelligence, 
 connected with unrestrained sympathy, a pure 
 waste of accumulated wealth, bringing want and 
 poverty to many good people. The best way 
 to dispose of a corpse is to roll it in a sheet to 
 obscure nudity, and lay it in the clean earth 
 three or four feet below the surface of the 
 ground, so as not to interfere with cultivation, 
 which should be done without any remorse of 
 conscience. All human beings are as much in 
 the great past one hour after death as if they 
 had died a million years before, and there is no 
 valid reason we should be any more interested 
 in them than in human fossil skeletons found 
 imbedded in the solid stone. It is only the 
 trend of our education and unnecessary sym- 
 pathy.
 
 CHAPTER 15. 
 
 ABATE FILTHY NUISANCES. 
 
 Every child should be taught to use their 
 right and left eyes, arms, hands, legs, and 
 feet alike and with equal skill, but ambidexter- 
 ness should not apply to reading or writing, 
 which should be uniformly from left to right. 
 
 The habitual, unsightly and filthy use of to- 
 bacco should be so regulated by law that its use 
 would be extirpated and exterminated. First: 
 No person should be allowed to raise or produce 
 it for their own use, or to give it away, or allow 
 it to be filched or stolen, if in their power to 
 prevent. The seller, the buyer, the manufact- 
 urer, and the wholesale and retail dealers, 
 should all pay a high license, and there should 
 also be high import duty collected, which should 
 all go to the school fund of the counties where 
 collected, and no school teacher should ever be 
 employed who uses tobacco, and the school 
 children or students should be lectured, at least 
 four times during the school term, against its 
 (132)
 
 ABATE FILTHY NUISANCES. 133 
 
 use and other filthy habits, that they might 
 thoughtlessly acquire, which would during life 
 be a filthy nuisance and an unnecessary waste 
 of wealth and labor. Then, after the tobacco 
 business had been so depleted by such a law, 
 then give notice that on and after a fixed date, 
 that no tobacco should be grown, sold, used or 
 imported within the boundaries of the United 
 States of America or its possessions. Its cultiva- 
 tion absorbs the nitre and other valuable quali- 
 ties from the soil, which would be of great use in 
 the production of food and other cereal and fibre 
 crops which are highly necessary to the support 
 and well-being of the human race, and all the 
 human race are deeply interested in keeping the 
 soil in a productive condition. Anything that 
 depletes the soil is injurious to the State and 
 Nation.
 
 CHAPTER 16. 
 
 CONTROL ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS. 
 
 Alcoholic liquors, wines and other palatable 
 drinks, should be sold every place where wanted 
 by well-regulated, high license, without prefer- 
 ence between communities, and the boards of 
 health should see to it that no adulterated goods 
 are allowed to be sold, and if sold, then heavy 
 fines and penalties. All license money so re- 
 ceived should go to the school fund of the 
 county, and not to the special locality where 
 the business is done. Alcohol is the greatest 
 medicinal remedy known. Its use, as well as 
 that of other liquors is all right when properly 
 used, and the people should see that they are 
 rightly used. If persons get drunk, arrest and 
 fine them so much that they will recollect it, 
 and the law should be that if a man has been 
 arrested for drunkenness and fined three times, 
 then he should be barred from voting, holding 
 any office of trust or receiving marriage licenses. 
 If same have no money to pay his fines make him 
 (134)
 
 CONTROL ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS. 135 
 
 work it out, and if same still gets drunk reform 
 him in state's prison for five years. 
 
 Alcoholic and fermented liquors have been 
 used as far back as history goes, and always will 
 be used. They that make brutes of themselves 
 should be treated like brutes. If men are so 
 weak-minded that they cannot control their ap- 
 petites, get drunk, go home and abuse their 
 families, the world does not need such breed- 
 ers. Drunkards beget drunkards. Better give 
 them the extract of poppy and let them sleep 
 it out. There is such place as eternal hell, 
 better get them on the road there as soon as 
 possible. The air will smell better as soon as 
 they are gone. (Hell is the grave) . No person 
 should be allowed to give away (or treat) any 
 other person with liquor, if so, then a fine of ten 
 dollars and costs, and vendors of liquors should 
 not be allowed to sell liquor to any person under 
 18 years old except they have an order from 
 their parents, if so, the same fine and cost. The 
 manufacture of alcohol or alcoholic liquors 
 should be untaxed and free from internal reve- 
 nue in any part of the United States the same 
 as any other manufactured article of commerce, 
 and a printed guarantee of purity should accom-
 
 136 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASOX. 
 
 pany each sale of one quart or over one 
 quart. 
 
 I think the above is far better than a demi- 
 john under the bed in every home for the boys 
 and girls to tipple, and all get to be drunkards. 
 By the use of tobacco, and the excessive use of 
 alcoholic liquors, the results are ignorance, 
 therefore all the revenue from the licensing of 
 such traffic should go to the schools to increase 
 Intelligence. All Sunday laws should be struck 
 from all the laws of the earth, but no person 
 should be allowed to interfere or disturb moral 
 and orderly assemblies on Sunday or any other 
 day. True religion and a high standard of 
 virtue and morals should be enforced by human 
 laws, and not by mythical reward or punish- 
 ment beyond the grave. Hoping that ultimately 
 all the human race will be able to understand 
 and realize that there is no man God roaming 
 over the earth, or in the eternal unlimited heav- 
 ens. There is but one God (Intelligence), and 
 that God does not require any church worship, 
 or any help of the weak-minded priest or 
 preachers.
 
 CHAPTER 17. 
 
 NOAH'S FLOOD. 
 
 Of all the lies that has ever been told or writ- 
 ten, none exceeds that great extortious and fab- 
 ulous lie of Noah's Flood. Mount Ararat is 
 about as high above the sea level as Mount Ori- 
 zaba or Mount St. Elias in North America. The 
 water was on the face of the whole earth. Gen., 
 Chap. 8; v. 9; that is to say, it covered Ararat 
 and all the mountains of the earth, bob and 
 sinker, from the lowest plain to over the top of 
 the Himalayas of over 29,000 feet above the level 
 of the sea, increasing the diameter of the earth 
 about 12 miles, with the greater portion of the 
 land about 20,000 feet below the top of Noah's 
 Flood. The rain was restrained and the waters 
 returned from off of the earth. Gen., Chap. 8; 
 v. 2, 3. Now we all know that water seeks its 
 own level; then where could the water have 
 went to? Once the water was on the earth it 
 would stay on the earth. The sun rays will not 
 evaporate water when the land cannot be struck 
 
 (137)
 
 138 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 by them. When I said further back in this 
 book that half the water was in the firmament 
 at the time the Great Canyons were being cut, 
 the good church bigot said it was ludicrous. 
 Now he would have the people believe that at 
 the time of Noah's Flood that there was 50,000 
 times more water in the firmament than I had 
 stated. If such a body of water, from 15,000 
 to 20,000 feet in depth above the greater part 
 of the land and covering all at some depth, 
 should encompass the earth, it would become a 
 glittering spheroid revolving in its orbit around 
 the sun without a spear of vegetation or a sin- 
 gle inhabitant. There never was such a body of 
 water in the atmosphere of the earth, and never 
 will be, and no such event could or ever did take 
 place. The great lie of Noah's flood is entirely 
 too big a lie to look decent. It looks like at the 
 time all the liars were in a great contest, and the 
 man that wrote the lie of Noah's flood was the 
 greatest liar of all, and won the prize.
 
 CHAPTER 18. 
 
 The fall of water in order to cover the face of 
 the whole earth in 40 days, would have had to 
 exceed 700 feet in depth per day from start to 
 finish. Counting cubits at 20 inches, the size of 
 Noah *s Ark was about 500 feet long, 84 feet 
 wide and 50 feet high (3 stories), not half the 
 size of the passenger ships that are making trips 
 in less than six days from New York to Liver- 
 pool. If the animals, fowls, and creeping 
 things had been packed as close as sardines, the 
 Ark would not have had room for a third of 
 them, to say nothing about room for storage of 
 food supplies and comforts for old Noah's family 
 for 150 days. Up to the time the Ark rubbed 
 its bottom and rested on the very top of Mount 
 Ararat, Gen., Chap. 8; v. 3, 4, the water at the 
 time, it is reasonable to estimate, was about 15 
 feet deep on the very top of Ararat, as 15 feet 
 would be about what the Ark would sink in the 
 water under the pressure. It was about 70 
 days from the time the Ark rubbed its bottom 
 
 (139)
 
 140 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 and settled on the top of Ararat until the tops 
 of the mountains were seen, as there had to be 
 a shrinkage of 15 to 20 feet of water over the 
 entire earth. It was slow, if it ever was shrank 
 at all, or was ever there at all (and sure it never 
 was there at all). Gen., Chap. 8; v. 4, 5. 
 
 It would be impossible with a Hebrew God, or 
 any other God, to do what Noah claims was 
 clone, as it would take more than a hundred 
 times the amount of water that is on the earth, 
 or in firmament above the earth to have made 
 good Noah's lying assertions. It also would 
 belittle the Hebrew God's intelligence in his 
 mistakes made in creative capacity, by wiping 
 away all of his fore-knowledge, and reduce him 
 to a finite God, for no infinite God can make 
 mistakes.
 
 CHAPTER 19. 
 
 Noah must have had great skill in naviga- 
 tion to be tossed around day and night when 
 no sun, moon, or stars were ever seen for 40 
 days, and yet when no trace of Ararat could be 
 seen, then to land his old craft right on top of 
 Ararat and rest it there over 70 days before the 
 mountain top he was on, or other mountain 
 tops could be seen. It seems he sent out the 
 crafty old raven, and he likely found enough 
 floating mice and toads to more than appease 
 his hunger, and he likely roosted on top of the 
 Ark every night and left early in the morning, 
 and old Noah didn't see him at all, if there was 
 any raven or old Noah at all, or any flood at 
 all, and sure there was none of it at all (all lies 
 and wind was all) . While the cold wind was 
 slashing the water around the top of Ararat and 
 old Noah's headquarters, he was sending the 
 dove to find the state of the water. The dove 
 saw no land the first trip. The dove saw signs

 land, and did not return to old Noah at all, if 
 there was any dove at all, or old Noah at all, 
 and sure there was none at all. The top of 
 Mount Ararat is 17,323 feet above sea level, and 
 how old Noah with all the animals, fowls, and 
 creeping things, got down off of that bleak, 
 desolate, cold region to the lower and produc- 
 tive country, where vegetable and animal life 
 could be sustained, is one of the mysteries that 
 only another liar like the one that wrote the 
 whole of Genesis could explain, as 3,000 feet of 
 the top of Mount Ararat is covered with ice 
 and snow, with the cold about 60 degrees below 
 zero. And without was fully as cold before old 
 Noah was born, or got in great favor with the 
 Hebrew mythical God, and became his earthly 
 agent to help him out of some of his bad blunders 
 and mistakes which had caused his great wrath, 
 and old Noah had an eye to business, as he got 
 this Almighty God to promise that him and his 
 seed possess and inhabit the whole earth.
 
 CHAPTER 20. 
 
 At this age of enlightenment and scientific 
 attainments, all and every one (not a natural 
 born fool) , does know that as soon as the moun- 
 tain peak of Ararat would have been laid bare 
 with the top a few hundred feet above the 
 water, and 17,323 feet above the present sea 
 level, that the cold wind many degrees below 
 zero, would have just whistled through old 
 Noah's whiskers, and frozen stiff the life out of 
 all the animals, fowls and creeping things 
 around or about the Ark, not one would have 
 escaped. It will be noticed that the old villain- 
 ous, jealous, wrathful and lying God of mis- 
 takes was not smiling around old Noah's door 
 jamb when the Ark was on the top of Ararat, 
 but it was after old Noah got down that he was 
 establishing his covenant with him, and giving 
 old Noah his song and dance about his rainbow 
 sign (Gen., Chap. 9, v. 13), that every boy can 
 make with a paddle in a frogpond when the sun 
 is shining; and the same principle existed a mil- 
 
 (143)
 
 144 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 lion years before that old lying blatherskiting 
 God was around practicing his legerdemain. 
 When we realize that after over 1200 years of 
 Christian enlightenment that the people turned 
 their children into the Christian maw of igno- 
 rance, bigotry and superstition in the crusades 
 to perish from sickness and hunger, and what 
 escaped death were sold into slavery to the 
 Turks. History says nine hundred thousand 
 were offered as a sacrifice to ignorance, based 
 on the fabulous lies in the Bible. Still we have 
 educated men all over this country that are so 
 completely under the magic wand of priest and 
 preachercraft that they will stand up and say 
 "we believe every word of the Bible, no odds 
 how unreasonable it might be, on the ground 
 that it was done by the force and will of God, 
 and that God can do any thing, that nothing is 
 impossible with their mythical God," which is a 
 barefaced and unmitigated lie. Any man but a 
 natural born fool would know it without being 
 told or shown. There is no such thing as 
 Lord, Deity or God other than Intelligence, and 
 it matters not how much intelligence there 
 might be, it cannot do anything only in har- 
 mony with natural law, and all the other eternal
 
 145 
 
 things. Intelligence cannot create any thing, 
 that is, form something out of nothing; could 
 not do an impossibility; could not make space, 
 duration, matter, or any of the eternal things, 
 or a twenty-year-old man in one minute. 
 Every thing that is done or made, are formed 
 by fixed rules that cannot be changed. Thus 
 you may do things, and thus you shall not do 
 things, and the same rule applies to Intelligence 
 (God) as well as man. There is twenty eternal 
 things, and every one has its own sphere of 
 action which can not be interfered with, but all 
 action must be in harmony with all the other 
 eternal things. None of the eternal things can 
 be destroyed, or their use and power con- 
 cealed, they being from eternity to full extent 
 of infinitude and all action in them, and on them, 
 must be in accord with sphere of their action, 
 force and power.

 CHAPTER 21. 
 
 The matter in the structure of a human being 
 is eight hundred parts, out of one thousand 
 parts pure water, and the two hundred part left 
 is very nearly all bone (limestone), small 
 amount of iron, some carbon and other gases. 
 There is about four billion people that come on 
 the earth and die in every one thousand years, 
 and the bones will average about fifty pounds 
 each, equaling in weight two billion pounds of 
 bones in a thousand years, and when we con- 
 sider all the short lifed and long lifed animals, 
 fowls, birds, and the fishes in the water, it gives 
 a grand total of bone or bone-lime, that is ex- 
 tracted from the earth in one thousand years, 
 as about six billion pounds, which is reabsorbed 
 by the earth into the limestones of the earth, 
 and is again reabsorbed into the animal king- 
 dom; with never any part of the lime lost or 
 destroyed, as earth matter is an eternal thing, 
 and no part of the eternal things can ever be 
 lost or destroyed. The same in all past eternity, 
 (146)
 
 STRUCTURE OF A HUMAN BEING. 147 
 
 now and forever. The same principle or law of 
 all the eternal things are on the same eternal 
 plan; no part can, or ever will be lost or de- 
 stroyed. The same in the past eternity, now, 
 and in all future eternity, forever and forever. 
 
 If any of the eternal things should be lost or 
 destroyed, such would bring chaos and confusion 
 in the whole great plan of the heavens em- 
 braced in the eternal unlimited ethereal space 
 and infinitude. Intelligence, when acting on 
 any or all of the eternal things, such action must 
 be in accordance with their existence and sphere 
 of action and power, and not otherwise. Har- 
 mony must prevail.
 
 CHAPTER 22. 
 
 THE SHORTCOMINGS, INDECENT, INCON- 
 SISTENCY AND IRRECONCILABILITY 
 OF ALL CHURCH WORSHIP ON 
 THE EARTH. 
 
 The mythical, invoking, incantations and hal- 
 lucinations of Christianity, Judaism, and all the 
 other churches of the world are so foolish, ab- 
 surd, irrational and indecent that they are 
 thousands of years behind this age of an educated 
 and intelligent people. It is more enlightened 
 to worship the rising sun, the fire, or the Chi- 
 nese chalk God, than to see and hear many 
 things that are practiced in and by the churches 
 such as the baptising in the filthy creeks, 
 stirring up the goose manure and polluted slime, 
 and the mourners bench with the preachers 
 fumbling the girls, is a disgrace to human Intel- 
 ligence, and the obscure and secret confessional 
 of priestcraft, is an abomination before God and 
 the human race. All human beings are equal 
 before God alike no preference is shown, and 
 (148)
 
 THE SHOKTCOMINGS OF ALL CHURCH WORSHIP. 149 
 
 when any man or set of men set up their monte 
 bank of mythical dead beat to sell their influ- 
 ence with God, and in that way procure a par- 
 don for sins committed, just count all such 
 hypocrites, barnacles and mythical dead beats, 
 procuring money for what they never did, never 
 will, and never can do. All glorification, adora- 
 tion, beseeching and asking pardon for sins 
 committed, are all just lost wind. The Eman- 
 uel, the God, is in every human being, therefore, 
 communicate with yourself, do right, and set to 
 rights your guilty conscience and be better men 
 and women by absorbing more God within you, 
 to guide you in the path of rectitude. The 
 more Intelligence (God) you have within you, 
 the less liable you are to sin, commit crimes 
 and do evil deeds. 
 
 This whole world is well loaded up with ancient 
 galore and toadyism setting forth about some- 
 thing that was done or happened in some great 
 mythical fabulous lies, that never was done, 
 nor never could have taken place, all of which 
 are commemorated as sacred events, such as Sun- 
 day, Passover, Lord's Supper, Baptism, and 
 many other fabulous things that the meek, 
 lowly and ignorant people [accept as facts, all
 
 150 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 of which has been worked into bible history by 
 designing priestcraft for the purpose of filching 
 money and the good things of the earth for their 
 luxurious support without exposure at labor. 
 O, when will the ignorant people become wise, 
 and take these hypocrites and dead beats by 
 surprise, when they can no longer sell their aged 
 enchantments and fabulous lies, and by all in- 
 telligent people be despised. That is to say, 
 when these great extancions and fabulous re- 
 presentations are made by the priests and 
 preachers to the people, they should be meas- 
 ured and weighed in the balance of human 
 reason, and deduct therefrom all facts, truths 
 and reason in them, and if found void of facts, 
 truths and reason, cast them aside as worthless 
 trash. Anything that will not stand criticism 
 is worthless.
 
 CHAPTER 23. 
 
 Why should we go away back for thousands 
 of years when the masses of the people were a 
 mass of ignorance, and get their old mythical, 
 fabulous, moth-eaten, rotten religions, when we 
 now have more intelligence in one day than they 
 ever had in a thousand years. There are now a 
 million men in the United States that have 
 more intelligence, and a thousand times more 
 morality, honor and justice in them than Solo- 
 mon ever had, and throw in all the prophets 
 besides. 
 
 The intelligence in the people of this age act- 
 ing on origination can bring into existence a re- 
 ligion a thousand fold more superior than has 
 come to us from all past effort in that line. All 
 the religions of the world up to the present 
 time, are as full of faults and shortcomings as a 
 sieve is full of holes. 
 
 We now have hundreds of different kinds of 
 churches that are based on the scriptures be- 
 cause they were so poorly, meanly and unintelli- 
 
 (151)
 
 152 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 gently constructed when written, that no agree- 
 ment can be had between the most intelligent 
 people as to their meaning. When we see the 
 great many church buildings, each representing 
 separate religious creeds, all based on the differ- 
 ent constructions and meaning of the so-called 
 scriptures, which show that they were improp- 
 erly and ignorantly constructed when written, 
 that the scriptures were not designed and com- 
 posed by the great Intelligence (God) but by 
 men better known as ignoble, bigoted ignoram- 
 uses; and the so-called prophets of the Lord in 
 filthy garb doing up the towns of mud huts, 
 leaning on poles called staffs, haranguing the 
 people, and if they were roaming around now, 
 the police would tell them to move on, and fail- 
 ing to do so, they would find themselves in the 
 jail charged with disturbing the peace and dig- 
 nity of the city, and the judge would send them 
 to the state institution for the weak minded. 
 
 The people are carrying a great burden of ex- 
 pense by the building and maintaining of the 
 great number of church buildings, and the pay 
 of the priests and preachers to unload their in- 
 vocations, hallucinations and explaining a long 
 list of mythical fables and fabulous lies found in
 
 THE SHORTCOMINGS OF ALL CHURCH WORSHIP. 153 
 
 the Bible, in such a way that they will all be 
 accepted as solid truths by the congregation, 
 but have no effect on the seats, mostly empty. 
 The great mass of the intelligent people of the 
 world that have the push, energy and inventive 
 skill that bring order out of chaos and strife, 
 never give any attention to the eternal things 
 or the supreme plan of eternity or infinitude. 
 They leave all that to the priests and preachers 
 to tell them about the great mythical heaven 
 and hell, and how to get to that great mythical 
 heaven by paying the priest or preacher, and 
 supporting the church, but failing to do that, 
 their mythical souls will at death pass into that 
 great, eternal, mythical hell, and the priest and 
 preacher smiles as he sees them piling their 
 hard-earned money into the contribution box, 
 taking it for granted that what the priest or 
 preacher told them is the true status of life, and 
 the priest or preacher says to himself, as he pulls 
 the door after him, "I have fed my sheep and 
 they turned in their fleece too."
 
 CHAPTER 24. 
 
 The priest says to himself: "I will soon get a 
 red cap, and be high-cockalorum and boss of all 
 nunneries the game rooster of all Christendom." 
 The preacher smiles, rubbing his hands together, 
 as he sits up to his table of the most luxurious 
 viands and says to his wife: "We divines travel 
 at half-fare, and the way the money is coming 
 in we will be able, on my vacation, to take a 
 trip to Europe, and I will send in some grand 
 reports of the Holy Land. These reports will 
 not bother me at all, as when we are in London 
 there are men who make a business of writing 
 great reports on the Holy Land for a few dol- 
 lars, and we will send in big reports on the 
 scenes in the Holy Land while we are taking in 
 the great sights in London and Paris (see) , and 
 when we return we will have a grand time, as it 
 will take half a dozen big sermons (which I will 
 bring with me, bought of sermon writers in 
 London), and I will give them a grand eye- 
 opener, and we will have another grand time, 
 (154)
 
 THE SHORTCOMINGS OF ALL CHURCH WORSHIP. 155 
 
 and money will come in big rolls. My congre- 
 gation will believe every word I say. They are 
 believers, and will believe anything, as you 
 know that it is by firm belief and undoubting 
 faith that they get to the great and glorious 
 mythical heaven, besides it is written that un- 
 belief is the curse of the world, and you know 
 that will make them all strong in faith and un- 
 doubting in belief." None are so blind as those 
 that will not see, with the fear of an eternal hell 
 of damnation deeply embedded in their memory. 
 Surely the blind leadeth the blind, and main 
 road leads from their money purse to the priests' 
 and preachers' pockets. And why not when 
 they are church dupes and slaves owned by 
 church dogmas, not having courage enough to 
 contend or accept freedom.
 
 CHAPTER 25. 
 
 Admitting that there are many priests and 
 preachers (that is, of the very common run) 
 that, by delusion, are acting in good faith, and 
 are firm in the belief that they are saving many 
 of what they believe to be human souls from an 
 eternal hell, but it is a sure deduction from all 
 the facts under consideration, the money is the 
 force that pulls the mythological wagon of all 
 the churches. 
 
 All human beings on this earth have their ex- 
 istence by the direct impulse of Intelligence 
 (God), and if there is a soul or spiritual body in 
 every human being, it comes from the same 
 source and what Intelligence (God) has done. 
 Intelligence (God) is amply able to take care of 
 all the works of the eternal, unlimited intelli- 
 gence throughout all infinitude. The force and 
 power of the eternal Intelligence (God) , with all 
 the other eternal things as attributes, does not 
 need the assistance of these weak-minded 
 priests and preachers who, by their pretended 
 (156)
 
 LOST BOOKS IN THE BIBLE. 157 
 
 celibacy, work their way into the sociality of 
 marriageable and conjugal relations of families, 
 causing much illegitimacy and a great many 
 divorces. There is nothing more dangerous to 
 the chastity and welfare of the family than the 
 amplitude of a well fish and chicken-fed priest 
 or preacher. There is not a church on earth 
 that can stand if the orations or sermons of 
 then* priests or preachers are allowed to be fol- 
 lowed by a competent critic, showing the same 
 to be unreasonable, untruthful and unworthy of 
 belief or credence. 
 
 There may be some of the partly civilized, 
 unlearned and unintelligent people that yet 
 have fears of an eternal hell of damnation, but 
 all the educated, thinking and intelligent people 
 no longer have any fear of any kind of a hell, 
 for the best of reasons the consensus of all the 
 evidence on earth, or in the eternal, unlimited 
 heavens show that there is no such place, and 
 the time is near when the boys and girls moan- 
 ing and trembling with fear, will no longer be 
 held with red hot tongs over a great lake of 
 hellfire and brimstone in order to increase 
 church membership and the money in the 
 priests' or preachers' pockets.
 
 CHAPTER 26. 
 
 LOST BOOKS IN THE BIBLE. 
 
 Below I give one of the most complete lists 
 of the lost "books referred to in the Scriptures" 
 that has ever been published : 
 
 Book of the Wars of the Lord, Numbers, 
 xxi., 14. 
 
 Book of Jasher, Joshua, x., 13; also, II Sam- 
 uel, i., 18. 
 
 Book of Iddo the Seer, II. Chronicles, ix., 
 25; also II. Chronicles xii., 15. 
 
 Book of Nathan the Prophet, II. Chronicles,

 Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel, 
 I. Kings, xiv., 19; I. Kings, xvi., 5. 
 
 Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah, 
 I. Kings, xv., 7. 
 
 The Chronicles of King David, I. Chronicles,

 Prophet, II. Chronicles, xxxii, 32. 
 
 Sayings of the Seers, II. Chronicles, xxxii., 19. 
 
 Story of the Prophet Iddo, II. Chronicles, 
 viii., 22. 
 
 Some commentators maintain that the four- 
 teenth verse of the single chapter of Jude alludes 
 to a "Book of Enoch;" also, that the thirty- 
 second verse of the fourth chapter of I. Kings, 
 refers to works on natural history that were 
 written by Solomon.
 
 CHAPTER 27. 
 
 Considering the wars, 'bloodshed, turmoil, 
 trouble, strife and heartfelt sorrow that the old 
 filthy Jewish Bible has brought to the human 
 race, it makes me shudder to contemplate what 
 would be the result if we should have been un- 
 fortunate enough to have been cursed with all 
 the books. Job's troubles compared would be 
 as a sand in the sea. We should feel thankful 
 that we never got the lost books, and we would 
 be a thousand times more blessed if we had 
 never gotten any of the books of the old Jewish 
 Bible. Now as to Jesus Christ, his miraculous 
 conception and birth was a deception, which 
 no sane, intelligent person believes, and there 
 is no proof worthy of belief or credence, just 
 fabulous lying assertions, pure unadulterated 
 bosh, and if the assertions were true, why did 
 Matthew call him the son of Man, and it was 
 the Devils who called him the son of God. 
 Which was mistaken, Matthew or the Devils? 
 All such talk about the Virgin Mary conceived 
 by the Holy Ghost is ignorant filthy twaddle. 
 (160)
 
 CHAPTER 28. 
 
 There is nothing to show that Christ was 
 educated or ever wrote any language, scribbled 
 in the dust just once. What he knew about 
 the scriptures he probably got from his father 
 Joseph, or in the synagogue, or by converse, 
 and his disciples were uneducated and of the 
 very commonest class of men at that date, and 
 it is a general consensus from all that infor- 
 mation that the twelve apostles never wrote 
 the twelve books as stated; they were likely 
 written by scribes from hearsay of the fabulous 
 reports then current in that part of the country. 
 
 For many years the belief and faith in Christ 
 was very limited, and these twelve books with 
 many other books and manuscripts were in the 
 possession of the Christian priest for 325 years, 
 and there was great discord among the priests 
 or ministers as to what was the teachings of 
 Jesus Christ, and Constantine called all the 
 Christian priests or ministers to the great coun- 
 cil of Nice, and when they had all assembled 
 (161) 11 *
 
 162 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 they numbered only about 2,300, while Lima, 
 Peru, has 8,000 priests for 140,000 people, so 
 it is plain to be seen that the people of eastern 
 Europe and adjacent territory in Asia and 
 Africa had but little use for the fabulous and 
 miraculous Christ, and when all the books and 
 manuscripts were laid before the council there 
 was tumultuous strife and bitter contentions 
 as to what were really the teachings of Christ. 
 There were two propositions before the coun- 
 cil. One was, that all the books and manu- 
 scripts in any form should be preserved. The 
 second proposition was that the twelve books 
 of the apostles be retained as the teachings of 
 Christ, and all the rest be destroyed. When the 
 vote was taken there was about two-thirds of 
 the council for preserving all, and about one- 
 third to preserve only the twelve books of the 
 apostles and destroy the rest; at this juncture 
 of the proceedings Constantine lined up the 
 minority delegates and cleared the house of 
 the great majority, and himself and the minor- 
 ity delegates declared the twelve books of the 
 apostles canonical and had all the other manu- 
 scripts and books destroyed. These twelve 
 scriptures at the tune of the council had been
 
 LOST BOOKS IN THE BIBLE. 163 
 
 in possession of priestcraft for over 300 years, 
 and the common people knew nothing about 
 them, only what the priests told them. They 
 had been translated and interpreted and worked 
 over, so as to make each book to a great extent 
 harmonize so that when these twelve manu- 
 scripts were before the Nicene council they 
 received the approval of Constantine, which 
 was really the council, as the majority were 
 ruled out and had no say in the matter, and 
 all of their manuscripts and books were de- 
 stroyed, and that put a quietus on all conten- 
 tions and disputes as to what was the teaching 
 or doctrines of Christ, and at this date it is not 
 known what the teachings and doctrines of 
 Christ was, or is now. The old Jewish Bible 
 was translated and interpreted from the an- 
 cient Hebrew into the modern Hebrew, and 
 from the modern Hebrew to the Greek and 
 Latin, and no doubt thousands of mistakes 
 were made by error, or most likely intentional 
 by designing priestcraft as an object lesson.
 
 CHAPTER 29. 
 
 When King James' translation was made 
 into the English language, there was, some say 
 12,000 and others say 24,000 mistakes were 
 made and we know that we at this day 
 can hardly have a deed recorded without mis- 
 takes. The consensus of all history show that 
 all worship of all religions were based on great 
 fabulous myths, lies and legerdemain, and the 
 larger and more erroneous the presentations, 
 the better they took with the then uneducated 
 and ignorant people, and the priests and preach- 
 ers, beginning thousands of years in the past 
 and clear on up until now have built up 
 a great oligarchy made out of the past poor, 
 filthy, unreasonable, unbelievable, ignorant 
 trash and' hobgoblins brought down to this 
 enlightened age, from the ancient, ignorant and 
 barbarian races, and then go around with a 
 lantern at midday trying to find out why the 
 (164)

 dear people do not attend the churches, and 
 rub their hands down over a well-fed stomach 
 and say: "We are always ready to feed the 
 sheep," but the sheep do not want such ancient 
 musty feed ; they have learned of better pasture. 
 The people are now better educated and too in- 
 telligent to listen or entertain the howling, 
 ignorant fanatical pretentions contrary to reason 
 and intelligence. When a man goes on the 
 platform to talk to the people, he must stick to 
 facts, truths and reason. People will not 
 accept fabulous lies and falsehoods as facts. 
 There was a time when the people could be made 
 believe such things because they were in the 
 Bible, but that does not count these days. The 
 people want the facts and truths supported and 
 weighed in the balance of human reason.
 
 CHAPTER 30. 
 
 The most of the laws of the Hebrews that 
 was heralded to the people as written by the 
 great Jew God's own hand and turned over to 
 Moses were in existence in the Sanskrit, the 
 first, greatest and most ancient language of 
 mankind, as shown in the Shastra of the Hin- 
 doos of India, more than a thousand years 
 before Moses was born. Solomon's wise saying 
 that "there is nothing new under the sun," no 
 doubt was a common phrase in use many cen- 
 turies before the sainted old David had Uriah 
 murdered in order to get his wife, and before 
 Amnan, son of David forced his sister Tamar, 
 and Absalom went from the tent on top of his 
 father's house without shame in unto his father's 
 ten concubines and made fornication with each 
 and all of them in the sight of all Israel, and 
 that almighty Hebrew God, with both eyes 
 shut, didn't see at all! That much-lauded and 
 greatly glorified Golden Rule: "Do unto others 
 as you would have them do unto you," that has 
 (166)
 
 LOST BOOKS IN THE BIBLE. 167 
 
 been the beacon star to light up the pathway 
 of the Christian for over nineteen hundred 
 years, shows up in history seven hundred years 
 before Jesus Christ was born in a stable and 
 laid in the manger. Brahma, Vishnu and Seva 
 in the Hindoo Shastra, is a prelude to Father, 
 Son and Holy Ghost, which is not found in the 
 Bible but borrowed, purely an invention of 
 designing priestcraft, both having a similar 
 meaning, and both being big, high-sounding 
 words, and both, first and last, pure mytho- 
 logical wind, intended to mislead the ignorant 
 masses and credulous church dupes, but at this 
 age when all statements must be weighed in 
 the balance of human reason, church dupes are 
 becoming less plentiful every year, and will be- 
 come more so in the future. Anything that is 
 not reasonable is subject to examination, and 
 criticized and weighed in the balance of human 
 reason, and if found wanting, cast aside.
 
 CHAPTER 31. 
 
 Jesus Christ was called the son of Man by 
 Matthew, chapter 8, verse 20; the devils called 
 Jesus Christ the son of God, chapter 8, verse 29, 
 so the name "son of God" came from the devils 
 directly from hell the grave, as denned by Web- 
 ster's Dictionary, that hell is the grave. But 
 the whole is a lie and a myth as the devils were 
 not in the man, nor ever went into the swine. 
 The swine herders had stolen the hogs, sold 
 them to passing water craft, and availed them- 
 selves of the opportunity of accounting for the 
 missing swine by laying it all on the great and 
 glorious Jesus Christ, followed by a gang of 
 ignorant dupes, bummers, toughs and hoboes. 
 The owner of the swine was simply hoodwinked 
 out of his hogs. The Catholic priests are edu- 
 cated and learned men, and they know that 
 the Bible will not stand the searchlight of 
 reason and criticism, and for that reason they 
 keep the scriptures in Greek and Latin, so that 
 the members of the church cannot read or form 
 (168)
 
 LOST BOOKS IN THE BIBLE. 169 
 
 any opinion in regard to them, only what the 
 priests tell them. That is to say, they call up 
 their ignorant sheep and feed them plenty of 
 rotten filthy twaddle about the Hebrew God 
 and the glorious Jesus Christ who plainly said 
 "Let the dead bury the dead," Matthew 8: 22, 
 showing that neither himself or the Church 
 he would establish had any interest in the dead 
 further than what the Church could get out of 
 the friends and relatives, which at this age 
 brings a large revenue for funeral orations, 
 and the Christian Catholic Church gets large 
 donations after death for canceling or setting 
 aside sins committed during life. It would be 
 extremely hard to invent a more enticing trap 
 for fools than this loathsome and detestable 
 proposition; a superlative double searchlight 
 cheat and swindle perpetrated on their followers 
 and not in accord with the scriptures and con- 
 trary to human reason. What is human wor- 
 ship? Answer: Pure, unadulterated decep- 
 tion, where much is expected and nothing re- 
 ceived. What is the cause of Human Worship? 
 Answer: A desire to live an eternal life after 
 death. This desire is so strong by and from 
 the force of education and training, that they

 prefer to go to any kind of hell rather than not 
 exist at all after death; but once their minds 
 are liberated from that baleful influence and 
 fully realize that there is no existence after 
 death, it would give them liberty of both mind 
 and body, and the trend of their minds would 
 be for good laws well enforced, purity of purpose 
 with charitable chasted and loving kindness 
 for all the human race, and not be impressed by 
 a belief that they could commit all kinds of 
 evil deeds and crimes, and receive pardon while 
 living, and even by priestcraft after they are 
 dead. Such bad morals taught to the young 
 people leads them to believe that no matter what 
 mean and detestable crime they may do, that 
 God, through the influence of priestcraft, will 
 forgive them, and make their celestial garments 
 as white as snow.
 
 CHAPTER 32. 
 
 FIXED RULES OF LIFE. 
 
 Observe your full duty between yourself and 
 your fellowman, same as between father and 
 child, husband and wife. Have rectitude, gov- 
 erned by pure unselfish reason. Be virtuous, 
 kind, true and sincere in your ways toward all, 
 having charity for all, but more so to the de- 
 serving ones. Have purity of purpose and 
 honest desire in dispensing impartial justice 
 to all. Use practical and just ways of life, and 
 give all praise to this world, striving always to 
 make it better. Practice industry, sobriety, 
 gravity, decorum and truthfulness as a good 
 citizen. Take nothing but that which is yours 
 of right and justice. Expect nothing more of 
 all others than you would be willing to grant 
 yourself. Accept as a fact that you have no 
 knowledge of why you have life and existence 
 here on this earth, and cannot have any know- 
 ledge of life and existence after death. Fully 
 recognize that your body can never leave the 
 
 (171)
 
 172 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 earth, for the reason that it is part of the earth, 
 that intelligence, life, and caloric separates from 
 the body, but that you do not know from whence 
 they came or whither they go, recognizing as a 
 fact, that they were absorbed from Eternity, 
 and after segregation called death, still exist 
 in eternity separately, and independently, the 
 same as before they entered into the structure 
 of an intelligent, live, warm, human being, whose 
 body was matter. That your existence on this 
 earth is transitory, wherein you have no know- 
 ledge of your beginning or ending, and are only 
 filling some small place in eternity, not now 
 known or ever will be known, for the reason that 
 the finite can not comprehend the infinite, nor see 
 or understand or contemplate the force and 
 power of the eternal things as the supreme plan 
 of the eternal unlimited ethereal space and 
 infinitude.
 
 CHAPTER 33. 
 
 CONFUCIANISM. 
 
 Confucius lived about 550 years before Christ. 
 There was really more Intelligence (God) within 
 him and his moral precepts and teachings than 
 in any of the past modes of worship. When 
 the people first began their existence on the 
 earth it was at the northern and southern ex- 
 tremes of the earth. The climate was first 
 tropical and their needs were supplied by both 
 vegetable and animal life, and there was no 
 need for any more. There was at that time 
 no Eastern or Western Hemispheres, and all 
 the equatorial or the central portion of the earth 
 was at that time torrid climate and all covered 
 with water, but the climate where the people 
 lived changed to a temperate climate; had 
 winter and summer seasons, and when the sun 
 would to them appear to recede and go away, 
 and all vegetable and animal life would suffer, 
 but when the sun returned it appeared to re- 
 deem everything; vegetation came forth and 
 
 (173)
 
 174 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 all animal life increased, and all nature was 
 again lovely. So they began to look to the sun 
 as their god, and began reverencing and wor- 
 shiping the sun, as when it came near heat 
 came to them a*nd repelled the cold and brought 
 happiness. They soon realized that fire was 
 also heat, and began worshiping fire by building 
 fire-altars out of wood, and when burning 
 worshipped the fire as God, and made burnt 
 offerings of animals and of human beings as 
 well, and the Hebrews improved and modern- 
 ized the way and manner by getting firstlings 
 of all the finest flesh animals and have them 
 nicely roasted, of which none was allowed to 
 be eaten except by the priests and flunkey 
 attendants of the tabernacle. The reason for 
 that was to not let the common people find out 
 how sumptuously they were living, all at the ex- 
 pense of the people, and for the further reason 
 that priestcraft did not want the people to see or 
 find out the workings of the tabernacle. Even 
 was not allowed to see old Moses' negro wife.
 
 CHAPTER 34. 
 
 The whole world is well supplied with priests, 
 preachers, clergy, exhorters, church henchmen, 
 swads, bumpkins and an immense number of 
 goody-goody people that are always ready to 
 proclaim and acclaim that every good thing 
 that has come or ever will come for the benefit, 
 comfort, ease, and well-being of the human race 
 all come from their mythical imaginary Hebrew 
 Man God. After the great English Nation had 
 been compelled to acknowledge the indepen- 
 dence of the United States, and Washington 
 dead, then comes the big lie by a man that 
 would not have been trusted by merchants for 
 a peck of potatoes, that he had seen Washington 
 praying in the woods, and that God had answer- 
 ed his prayers. "Now in these days came the 
 man Je'sus," but it could not stay that way and 
 was altered by priestcraft to read "Now in 
 these days came the man Jesus "if he could be 
 called a man." (see Josephus.) The church, 
 priests, prelates, dignitaries, bigots and hench- 
 
 (175)
 
 176 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 men have been for thousands of years polluting, 
 changing and altering the Bible and Bible his- 
 tory, and all other history, in all and everything 
 on the earth to support this mythological He- 
 brew Man God, and their erroneous religions 
 and pretensions. 
 
 Alexander "the Great, Leonidas, Caesar, Na- 
 poleon, Voltaire, Lafayette, Wellington, Wash- 
 ington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Jackson, Hamilton, 
 Franklin, Paine, Jones, and thousands of others 
 of the greatest men that ever walked on this 
 earth were free thinking and unbelievers in 
 the Hebrew Mythical God. It is from the 
 acts and great deeds of these men that 
 we of this age are allowed to think, write, 
 talk and reason together, and feel the great 
 benefits of free thought, free speech, and free, 
 untrammeled liberty, backed by a National 
 Infidel Constitution, under which the nation 
 has prospered as no other nation has since man's 
 existence on the earth began, and that constitu- 
 tion will remain an Infidel Constitution while the 
 mountains stand and the rivers flow to the sea. 
 This book is intended to be read, weighed in the 
 balance and measured by God's greatest gift 
 to man, Human Reason.
 
 CHAPTER 35. 
 
 At this age when the eternal unlimited intel- 
 ligence that fills all infinitude is being rapidly 
 absorbed into the minds of our greatest and 
 best developed men of brains and push, in 
 inventions, arts and scientific attainments, until 
 we can sit in our office and talk with people all 
 over the state and nation, and send messages 
 all over the world either on the surface or under 
 the great oceans, or through fluid air to our 
 ships at sea, and soon we may expect to be 
 able to look across the ocean and see what is 
 going on in London, Paris and other large cities 
 in Europe, or sit in chair in New York and see 
 our friends get aboard the ship at San Francisco 
 and hear them say goodby, or at the same place 
 see the Methodist shouter open his mouth, blare 
 his eyes and hear his hallelujah; but it is a sure 
 deduction, look as you can, will or may, you 
 will not be able to see any person or hear any 
 person that has passed through death and the 
 grave, for the reason that they do not now nor 
 
 (177)
 
 178 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 ever have returned alive or otherwise; such a 
 thing never has been done, nor ever will be done. 
 All such statements made in the scriptures that 
 human beings did return to life again after 
 death, even a mythical God, are untruthful and 
 are the invention of priestcraft in support of 
 their mythical Man God, to establish a false, 
 detestable religious faith worship, to get much 
 money and support from the ignorant people. 
 For the past fifty years, spirits returning to 
 this earth has had a great rage, and the laying 
 on of hands, and so called Christian Science have 
 all proved to be a pure unadulterated humbug 
 supported by ignorance and superstition. There 
 is no such thing as a spirit of a human being 
 or any other animal on the earth nor never 
 was, nor never will be.
 
 CHAPTER 36. 
 
 A GENERAL CONSPECTUS, RECAPITU- 
 LATION, REHEARSAL, AND EX- 
 PLANATORY REFERENCES IN 
 SUPPORT OF THE FORE- 
 GOING PAGES. 
 
 THE GOD IDEA OF HUMAN ORIGIN. 
 
 Personal gods always correspond to the char- 
 acter of their worshipers. The ancient Scan- 
 dinavians lived by conquest and they wor- 
 shiped two grim Gods of war and plunder 
 Thor and Odin. The Hindoos are non-com- 
 bative and their gods are tutelary and corres- 
 pondingly harmless. The ancient Greeks were 
 of versatile character and worshipped Mars 
 God of War. They were given to revelry and 
 mirth, and offered oblations to Bacchus God 
 of Revelry, and Comus God of Mirth. They 
 were fond of maritime pursuits and sacrificed 
 to Neptune God of the Sea. They were ad- 
 dicted to amatory pleasures and adored Venus 
 
 (179)
 
 180 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 Goddess of Beauty, and Cupid God of Love. 
 The primitive Jews were warlike and blood- 
 thirsty, and their Jehovah was correspondingly 
 remorseless, cruel and vindictive. John Knox, 
 founder of Old School Presbyterianism, had 
 large combativeness and destructiveness, with 
 small benevolence, and believed in a God 
 of infinite malice and hate the Draco of 
 the universe, the author of sin and its un- 
 sparing avenger. Theodore Parker was the 
 opposite of Knox, having small destructive- 
 ness and combativeness and large benevo- 
 lence, and he advocated the existence of a God 
 infinite in love and benevolence. Thus we find 
 that the Gods of individuals as well as nations 
 always correspond in character to the people 
 as individuals doing them homage. This proves 
 the gods to be of human origin. The things 
 made always harmonize with the qualification 
 of the maker, and personal gods are no exception 
 to this rule. (The Christian's God borrowed.) 
 The early Christians were blinded by. credal 
 dogmas, and the age not being propitious for 
 the manufacture of new gods, they adopted the 
 God of Abraham, and in their blindness do 
 homage at the shrine of this deific monster.
 
 THE GOD IDEA OF HUMAN ORIGIN. 181 
 
 Their adherence to the Hebrew brutal idea of 
 a god grows out of their reverence for and belief 
 in the Bible and the acceptance of its perni- 
 cious teachings during childhood and youth, 
 before the mind had been sufficiently developed 
 to discriminate between right and wrong, or 
 truth and error. The people now being edu- 
 cated and intelligent, will not recognize the 
 Hebrew God longer, but will say " Step behind 
 me, Satan, we have been humbugged enough." 
 There is no points of greatness represented in 
 the Hebrew God. All is schemes, deceit and big 
 lies and overdrawn things that had happened 
 or were manufactured by designing priestcraft, 
 all of which was not at all understood by the 
 ignorant uneducated people.
 
 CHAPTER 37. 
 
 CHARACTER OF THE CHRISTIAN'S GOD. 
 
 He created a world with a full knowledge of 
 its destiny, and then terrifically cursed it because 
 it failed to meet his expectations. (Gen. 3: 14.) 
 Later, when contemplating the failure of his 
 mundane enterprise he indulged in the following 
 pretentions lamentation: "I will destroy man 
 whom I have created, both man and beast, and 
 the creeping things and the fowls of the air, for 
 " it repenteth me that I have made them. ' ' (Gen. 
 6: 5.) What an admission from a God who 
 had infinite wisdom to devise his plans and in- 
 finite power to execute them. If this God was 
 omniscient, he knew how wicked man would 
 prove and how he would repent of his creation; 
 and the question is, why he did not repent in 
 the beginning and leave man undisturbed be- 
 neath the quiet shades of annihilation. Why 
 call him into existence by creative fiat and 
 allow the devil to load him down with original 
 sin, and then force him to play his grewsome 
 (182)
 
 CHARACTER OF THE CHRISTIAN'S GOD. 183 
 
 part in the awful tragedies enacted on the 
 stage of human life. Repentance on the part 
 of an actor for an action performed proves a 
 mistake has been made, but just how omni- 
 science and omnipotence could become eligible 
 to mistakes is certainly one of the profound 
 mysteries of godliness. Certainly a Hebrew 
 God could not make mistakes. The Intelli- 
 gence (God) of the earth, heavens, eternal un- 
 limited ethereal space and infinitude never 
 makes mistakes. No intelligent human being 
 at this day and time can be made believe that 
 the Intelligence (God) would or can make mis- 
 takes. The God of the Bible was no God at 
 all, a myth, bolstered up by big lies.
 
 CHAPTER 38. 
 
 SWEARS IN HIS WRATH AND IS 
 JEALOUS. 
 
 This God. so reverenced by the Christians, 
 possessed a distressingly bad temper, and when 
 provoked would furiously "swear in his wrath." 
 (Psalms 95: 11.) He so dishonored his omni- 
 potence as to grow fiercely jealous of "strange 
 Gods" and "graven images" (Deut. 32: 16; 
 Exod. 20:5.) 
 
 ORDERS AND ACCEPTS HUMAN SACRIFICES. 
 
 The Christian's God was likewise guilty of 
 the horrible offense of ordering and accepting 
 human sacrifice (Gen. 22: 1; Judges 11: 30, 39; 
 II. Sam. 21: 6, 9.) Modern clergy paint with 
 lurid colors the appalling chapter of human 
 sacrifices on heathen altars; but would do well 
 to consider the human victims whose blood has 
 stained with crimson the altars of their own 
 favorite God before further falsely traducing 
 and maligning the gods of the heathen. 
 (184)
 
 SWEAES IN HIS WRATH AND IS JEALOUS. 185 
 
 RESULTS OF THESE EXAMPLES. 
 
 "The Christian Community of the Universal 
 Brotherhood" that is based on Christ's command 
 to love all, for which North America is now 
 cursed with a large colony of Russian Douk- 
 hobors in Western Canada, doing worship and 
 penance by marching many miles in great 
 crowds, naked as when born, both men and 
 women, through the deep snow when the cold 
 is below zero, and still these fanatical lunatics 
 are a credit to many of the incantations, hal- 
 lucinations and fabulous things done and prac- 
 ticed by the Jewish and Christian denominations. 
 What better can be said of the old Jews with 
 their ignorant, filthy and detestable circum- 
 cision, falling on their faces in the dirt and 
 wallowing in sackcloth and ashes to appease 
 the wrath of an imaginary mythical God. 
 
 The Intelligence (God) of all eternity and 
 infinitude is not possessed of wrath or anger. 
 Such talk about a God getting full of wrath and 
 anger is too silly to be considered only by 
 fools.
 
 CHAPTER 39. 
 
 WHERE PEOPLE SHOULD BE WISE. 
 
 Right here in the central part of the United 
 States of North America, the most enlightened 
 nation on this earth, near the center of Mis- 
 souri, six miles south-east of the city of Tipton, 
 a man named Mulkey was very sick with fever, 
 and for fear that he would die without being 
 baptized, the hog scalding trough was brought 
 in, filled sufficiently with water and Mulkey 
 was lifted from his bed and lowered under the 
 water as preacher mumbled over the baptismal 
 ceremony, and the water ran in his mouth and 
 nose, strangling him to death, as the preacher 
 said: " Bless us, Lord, we have saved him, as 
 we got him baptized before he was dead." 
 They just took the poor sick man out of his bed 
 and murdered him, and then have the effront- 
 ery to ask their Mythical Lord to bless them for 
 what they had done, and the very next day at 
 his funeral took up a collection to raise money 
 to send missionaries to preach to the heathen, 
 (186)
 
 MYTHICAL LORD TO BLESS IGNORANCE. 187 
 
 ninety-five per cent of the same going into the 
 preacher's pocket and five per cent to the hea- 
 then, which all should have gone to the poor 
 widow woman and her starving children just 
 around the corner. What have we got to do 
 with the heathen, the less we have of them the 
 better off for the world and people that live 
 on it. Anna Peterson, a devout Christian of 
 Mound City, Kansas, in imitation of those Bible 
 examples, put her fourteen months old baby in 
 the stove and offered it up as a burnt offering 
 to the Christian's God, who, as she had learned 
 from the Bible, was fond of the " sweet smelling 
 savor emanating from burning sacrifice." And 
 a consistent Bible believer and pious church 
 member of Pocasset, Massachusetts, sacrificed 
 his little three year old girl to Christian Moloch 
 in the most brutal manner. Guiteau was 
 prompted to murder Garfield from the perni- 
 cious source of the teachings of Theism and the 
 Bible. Did space permit, we could refer to 
 hundreds of like cases, but the above must 
 suffice. If the deluded victims of Christian 
 superstition have to have a Bible let them 
 adopt one whose precepts and examples does not 
 sanction tyranny, slavery, persecution and cruelty.
 
 CHAPTER 40. 
 
 IS GUILTY OF OUTRAGE, INJUSTICE 
 AND VANITY. 
 
 The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart so that 
 he would not let the people go, and then sent 
 upon him and his people a long list of horrible 
 plagues to compel him to do the very thing he 
 hardened his heart to prevent him from doing. 
 Hardened his heart and then fearfully scourged 
 him for being hard-hearted, and all for the 
 purpose of getting for his infinite Godship a 
 great name throughout the earth. (Ex. 9; 12, 16.) 
 
 Jehovah is represented as "a god of battle 
 whose sword is filled with blood" (Isa. 63: 3, 4.) 
 Could a fiend infernal ever utter a threat more 
 cruel and vindictive than this! With such a 
 god is it to be wondered at that Christians 
 crimsoned the Dark Ages with innocent blood, 
 and that it now takes three millions of armed 
 men to keep the peace in Christian Europe at 
 an expense of billions of dollars annually, which 
 enormous sum is wrung from the oppressed and 
 (188)
 
 GOD IS PARTIAL. 189 
 
 enslaved toilers by an army of remorseless tax 
 gatherers. Verily, man cannot be better than 
 the God he worships. 
 
 This deific caricature on the entire theistic 
 family was guilty of the meanest phase of 
 partiality, as he is represented loving one 
 child and hating another before either of them 
 were born. (Rom. 9: 11.) Sunday School 
 teachers, from ignorance or knavery, inform 
 their classes that the word "hate" in this in- 
 stance does not mean hate, but " love less " ; that 
 is, God loved Esau less than he did Jacob. 
 Let us see. The prophet Malachi, in referring 
 to this subject, uses the following language 
 to explain to us just what love less, in this 
 instance means: "was not Esau Jacob's bro- 
 ther, saith the Lord, and yet I loved Jacob and 
 hated Esau, and laid his mountains and heri- 
 tage waste to the dragons of the wilderness." 
 " Love less " with a vengeance, that. " Whereas 
 Edom saith, we are impoverished, but we will 
 return and build up our desolate places. Thus 
 saith the Lord of Hosts, they shall build up, 
 but I will tear down; they shall be called a 
 people against whom the indignation of the 
 Lord endureth forever." (Mai. 1: 2, 4.) and all
 
 190 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 of this calamity befell the Edomites because 
 200 years before a vindictive and malicious 
 God loved one child and hated another before 
 either of them was born. What a travesty on 
 justice and heavenly paternity. But this is 
 not the worst reflection on their "Heavenly 
 Father" who has abiding care over "falling 
 sparrows" but seems most cruelly disposed 
 toward his creatures who are unfortunate 
 enough to belong to the genus homo. This pre- 
 tended hate of Esau was to have some nation 
 to rob and plunder. Sure, it was a very flimsy 
 excuse, but the old Jews, when they had no 
 excuse, they made one, as lying, stealing and 
 murdering was their trade. The record of the 
 old Jewish nation is the most detestable for 
 cruelty and unjustified murder and bloodshed 
 that is found in history. Then we hear the 
 people prating about the morals of Moses and 
 Joshua.
 
 CHAPTER 41. 
 
 Paul, the inspired promulgator of divine 
 truths, informs us that the Christian's " Heaven- 
 ly Father" whose "tender mercies are over all 
 his works" actually sends his children "strong 
 delusions to believe a lie, that they might be 
 all damned." (II. Thess. 2: 10, 11.) How con- 
 siderate this Heavenly Father is for the welfare 
 of his children. The reason for this fatherly 
 delusion and its mythical damnation is "be- 
 cause they believe not the truth." Who is to 
 blame for the prevalence of Atheism in the face 
 of these revolting statements made to us in 
 the name of divine Truth? 
 
 (GUILTY OF FALSEHOOD AND DECEPTION.) 
 
 The prophet Michai bears testimony as to 
 the immaculate character of the Christian's 
 "Heavenly King" in the following significant 
 manner: "I saw the Lord sitting on his throne 
 and all the host of heaven standing by him, and 
 the Lord said, Who will persuade Ahab that he 
 
 go up to Ramoth Gilead and fall? And one 
 
 (191)
 
 192 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 said in this manner, and another said in that 
 manner. And there came forth a spirit and 
 stood before the Lord and said, I will per- 
 suade him. And the Lord said unto him 
 Wherewith?; And he said, I will go forth 
 and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his 
 prophets, and he, the Lord, said, "Thou shalt 
 persuade him and prevail also. Go forth and 
 do so. (I. Kings, 22: 19.) Here, through the 
 clairvoyant vision of the prophet, we get a 
 glimpse of the Christian home in glory, and lo, 
 what a scene ! Their mythical Heavenly Father 
 and a lot of lying spirits putting up a job on 
 King Ahab, and sending out a lying emissary 
 who by the grossest deception lured the old 
 king to his destruction. What a sad commen- 
 tary on intelligence and honesty of that age, 
 when the masses accept such offensive bosh as 
 inspired truth. This God, so abjectly feared 
 and devoutly worshipped by the Christians, 
 seduced not only the prophets of Shab, but at 
 times grossly deceived his own favorite seers. 
 Ezekiel declares that "if a prophet be deceived 
 when he has spoken a thing, I, the Lord God, 
 have deceived that prophet;" and poor old 
 Jeremiah, in his humiliation, cried out: "Oh
 
 THESE WAS LYING SPIRITS. 193 
 
 Lord, thou hast deceived me and I was deceived 
 and am held in derision daily." " Ah Lord God, 
 thou hast surely greatly deceived this people, 
 saying, ye shall have peace, when the sword 
 reacheth to the soul." (Ezek. 14: 9; Jer. 20: 7 
 and 4: 10.) "Be ye perfect even as your 
 Father in Heaven is perfect." This God had 
 lying spirits to deceive the prophets, but de- 
 ceived them himself, and had them lie for him, 
 whenever more lying was necessary in his mythi- 
 cal schemes of deception to keep the masses 
 under control of priestcraft, and in that way 
 make the ignorant people fear and obey the 
 priest or Levites. The God of the Bible was 
 only a myth for the use of the Levites and priest 
 to tell the people about.

 CHAPTER 42. 
 
 VIOLATES HIS OATH AND BREAKS 
 HIS PROMISE. 
 
 Jehovah at divers times swore to Abraham, 
 Isaac and Jacob " that he would lead their pos- 
 terity to the land of Canaan, which should be 
 to them an everlasting inheritance" but at a 
 more advanced period of Jewish history and 
 while suffering from one of his periodical spells 
 of anger, he addressed himself to Moses thusly: 
 "Say unto them, as truly as I live, saith the 
 Lord, ye shall not enter into the land concern- 
 ing which I swore to make you dwell therein. 
 And your children shall wander in the wilder- 
 ness forty years, until your carcasses are wasted 
 and ye shall know my breach of promise." 
 (Num. 14: 27, 34.) He violates his oath, 
 breaks his promise, and then boasts of it like 
 a pirate. But perhaps the most cold-blooded 
 cruel and perfidious thing ever attributed to the 
 Christian's God, was his fiendish treatment of 
 his servant Job. Satan, the arch-fiend of hate 
 (194)
 
 GOD AND SATAN AGREES. 195 
 
 and malice, the wrecker of worlds, the enemy 
 of all good, and the fell destroyer of man's 
 peace and happiness pays one of his familiar 
 visits to the Celestial Metropolis and enjoys a 
 social conference with the Christian's august 
 Ruler of the Heavens and the Earth. During 
 the conversation between his godship and his 
 devilship, the former referred feelingly to Job, 
 and eulogised him as a perfect and upright 
 man that " eschewed evil and sinned not." The 
 devil dissented from the Lord's opinion, and 
 disputed Job's fidelity, and God, to convince 
 his infernal guest that he was mistaken, gave 
 the devil power to prove Job's integrity in the 
 appalling and cruel manner, and Satan, in- 
 vested with divine authority, at once visited 
 on this hapless victim of divine perfidy the most 
 fearful calamities, calling down fire from Heaven 
 and consumed his vast flocks of sheep; sent the 
 Bedouin Arabs from the desert and drove off 
 his herds of camels; originated a cyclone and 
 demolished the house in which Job's children 
 were holding a feast, killing them all. Thus 
 did Satan, by divine sanction, reduce Job in 
 a single day from affluence to the most abject 
 poverty, and bereft him of all his children.
 
 196 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 Could infernal malice do more? It seems that 
 the measure of cruelty against Job was not com- 
 plete, and Satan visited his Celestial Highness 
 to obtain further authority to torture his victim. 
 To destroy Job's property and bereave him of 
 his children did not satisfy the malice of Satan, 
 and he craved permission of the " Blessed 
 Lord" to torture Job's body. What was the 
 "Heavenly Father's" answer to this infamous 
 demand ; it was of a nature that should schedule 
 his name for perpetual infamy among the gods. 
 Listen to it, ye Christian devotees of a god- 
 defaming and man-degrading theology, and 
 hide your faces in shame. The " Lord of Glory " 
 answers Satan's cruel demand with these words : 
 "Although thou movedst me against him to 
 destroy him without a cause." (Job 2:3.) 
 What power Satan must have had to move the 
 infinite God to destroy his greatest and upright 
 and sinless servant without a cause; Christians, 
 please analyze this answer well, and if you do 
 not renounce allegiance to a book containing 
 such loathsome ideas of God and justice, it 
 proves that Jewish theism has dwarfed all your 
 nobler impulses and left no trace of justice, 
 sympathy or even decency, behind. But Satan

 carried his point all the same, and smote his 
 helpless victim with boils, from the crown of 
 his head to the soles of his feet; and so sore 
 were his afflictions and keen his agony that he 
 cried out "Oh, that I had never been born!" 
 Oh, to what depths of degradation does super- 
 stition sink man, that he is capable of accepting 
 as truth such hideous caricatures on justice 
 and decency. Here is the God of the Jews just 
 going through all this most detestable villianous 
 crime of punishing Job, a just man, to convince 
 the Devil of his great power, and make the 
 masses of the people tremble with fear at the 
 very mention of his name. Of course the whole 
 of the story of Job is a big lie, but it comes very 
 handy after it was 500 to 1,000 years old to tell 
 the people about the powers of Satan and God's 
 loving kindness for a just man.
 
 CHAPTER 43. 
 
 GOD'S PERSONAL APPEARANCE 
 AND DWELLING PLACE. 
 
 He or they who formulated the idea of the 
 Jewish God secured a perfect correspondence 
 between his character and personal appearance. 
 The psalmist, in describing his corporosity, 
 tells us: "That out of his mouth proceeded 
 fire, and out of his nostrils proceeded smoke, and 
 he rode upon a cherub and did fly." (II. Sam. 
 22: 9, 11.) Stop for a moment and contem- 
 plate this picture. The infinite Ruler of the 
 Heavens and the Earth sitting astride a celestial 
 hypogriffe and riding through the vast empy- 
 rean with great lurid flames of fire emanating 
 from his cavernous mouth, and vast volumes 
 of smoke rolling out from the labrynthian 
 depths of his wide extended nostrils. Who can 
 contemplate this scene and not be filled with 
 unbounded admiration and love. 
 
 Is in strict keeping with his appearance and 
 character. " He made darkness his secret place, 
 (198)
 
 CHRISTIAN'S FEARFUL SPELL. 199 
 
 clouds and darkness are around about him." 
 (Psalms 18:11 and 97: 2.) This fact must be 
 extremely consoling to those who expect to 
 spend an eternity in his commodious presence. 
 Oh, Christian, what fearful spell has been thrown 
 on you that you bow in reverence before this 
 cruel and remorseless God, and call him by the 
 sacred name of Father. In a spirit of candor 
 I admonish you not to stultify your reason 
 longer. Make a bold break for liberty, and 
 strike off the shackles riveted on you by a 
 mind-degrading theology. Play no longer the 
 role of a slave to ecclesiastical master, but 
 step out into the dignity of true manhood and 
 womanhood and dare to think for yourselves 
 and be free. Personal and infinity contradictory. 
 No personal God can be infinite because Per- 
 sonality has limits, and the Infinite has not. 
 It is not logical to say one Infinite God. Theo- 
 logians prate about monotheism the one god 
 idea in contradistinction of polytheism the 
 idea of many gods. The Infinite can no more be 
 unified or reduced to one than a circumference 
 can be found in space, which is without a center 
 and is boundless. It would be as easy to col- 
 lect and confine in the hollow of the human hand
 
 200 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 the entire waters of the combined oceans of 
 our globe, as to personalize or unify the infinite. 
 Then why outrage reason and contradict geom- 
 etry, in trying to define the indefinable and 
 comprehend the incomprehensible. The abso- 
 lute is, and ever will be beyond the grasp of the 
 finite, for the reason that the part can never 
 equal the whole. The thing comprehending 
 must be equal to or greater than the thing 
 comprehended, hence to comprehend the in- 
 finite, we must be equal to or greater than the 
 infinite, and to do this lies forever beyond the 
 range of remotest possibility. Then why spec- 
 ulate further on Theology. Would it not be 
 better to banish the whole subject from the 
 human mind and turn our attention from the- 
 ology to Anthropology, or the study of Man? 
 and live for the betterment of all the human race 
 and realize that Intelligence is God, and that is 
 all the God the human race will ever know, the 
 Emanuel within you and all the human race is 
 the God for you to look to, and keep your house 
 bright.
 
 CHAPTER 44. 
 
 "CHIEF END OF MAN" AND RESPON- 
 SIBILITY TO GOD. 
 
 "Is to glorify God" so says the Christian. 
 How absurd and yet how universally accepted 
 by the unthinking orthodox masses. Common 
 sense should teach them the utter futility of 
 trying to add to or improve perfection. If God 
 is perfect, then are all his attributes perfect, 
 therefore not susceptible of increase or improve- 
 ment; hence all the time man has devoted to 
 the help of the gods has been worse than wasted 
 wasted on the gods to the neglect and injury 
 of Man. If, instead of trying to glorify God, 
 man had devoted his time and effort in glori- 
 fying himself, today he would stand imperial 
 in his wisdom and power, instead of the poor, 
 ignorant, groveling thing that he is, wearing the 
 yoke of his political and religious taskmaster. 
 
 One of the most pernicious features of the- 
 ism is the idea of Man's responsibility to God. 
 This idea has enabled the priest and clergy to 
 
 (201)
 
 202 FACTS, TKUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 enslave the masses through fear, and wrest 
 from them rich benefices by thus playing on 
 the fears of their communicants. Church of- 
 ficials manage to revel in ease and luxury while 
 their deluded dupes languish in penury and 
 want. The origination and intelligent forces 
 that cause man's existence on the earth are 
 responsible for his actions. The Maker is 
 responsible for the merit or demerit of the thing 
 made, and not man responsible to the Maker. 
 The theologians may indulge in their silly 
 twaddle about "Free Will" but the fact that 
 man is a creature of inherited predisposition 
 and post natal circumstances, remains unchanged 
 all the same. When man is pre-natally awak- 
 ened to a state of intelligent consciousness, and 
 is consulted as to whether he will be or not be, 
 and is allowed to indicate the quality of his 
 parentage, the character of his inherited pre- 
 disposition and his post-natal circumstances, 
 then, and then only, will he become responsible 
 for his actions; but just so long as he is arbi- 
 trarily and blindly thrust into the world with- 
 out any voice as to the character of his parent- 
 age and pre-natal conditions and post-natal 
 circumstances, just so long will he be devoid of
 
 MAN SHOULD BE FREE. 203 
 
 that phase of responsibility, about which priests 
 and preachers so loudly prate. When man 
 intelligently outgrows the idea of a personal god 
 with all the connected absurdities, then will he 
 have taken the first step toward individual 
 natal liberty. At present it is a pitiful parasite 
 dependent on his theological counselors for 
 guidance and direction, where for centuries he 
 has been victimized by their erroneous teach- 
 ings. Man, once emancipated from his super- 
 stitious thralldom, will experience a marvelous 
 change for the better a change from error to 
 truth, from ignorance to intelligence, from 
 driveling slavery to an imperial freedom, from 
 servile fears and doubt to hope and unwaver- 
 ing confidence, and from the caprice of a myth- 
 ical God to the certainty and infallibility of 
 Intelligence (God) . The transition from theism 
 to a full understanding that there is no Man 
 God; that there is an almighty and powerful 
 God, and that God is Intelligence and is in 
 every human being and throughout the un- 
 limited ethereal space and infinitude.
 
 CHAPTER 45. 
 
 THE FACTS. 
 
 The God of all Eternity and throughout all 
 Infinitude is always with you in proportion as 
 you adapt yourself to receive God, by allowing 
 yourself to be possessed of an untrammeled 
 conscience, and wisdom to absorb the greatest 
 gift to man, human reason, which is the open 
 door through which Intelligence (God) enters 
 into the existence of every human being. The 
 more reasoning force, the more Intelligence 
 (God) every human being will possess. The 
 age of theism will always be contemplated with 
 deep feelings of loathing and disgust, and will 
 always be designated in history as the darkest 
 period of human existence. This assertion may 
 sound harsh and unwarranted to orthodox ears, 
 but I will give below a few corroborative facts 
 chosen from a list of many thousand of the same 
 character. 
 
 In 391 the Christians burned the Serapian 
 Library at Alexandria, Egypt, containing 
 (204)
 
 MORE LIBRARY DESTRUCTION. 205 
 
 700,000 volumes the cream of the world's 
 literature. A few years later, by order of Arch- 
 bishop Cyril, they brutally murdered Hypatia, 
 the maiden philosopher of Greece, who was then 
 lecturing to assembled thousands in the audi- 
 torium of the Temple of Serapis. These and 
 many other acts of murder and vandalism, 
 resulted in the suppression of the Greek Schools 
 of Philosophy and turned the European World 
 into dark night of Christian barbarism, that 
 hung over the race like a deathly nightmare for 
 twelve hundred years. The historian has brand- 
 ed this era of Christian domination as the " Dark 
 Ages." Remember, that during this period, 
 from the fourth to the seventeenth century, 
 Christianity had complete control of the Eu- 
 ropean nations in government, law, literature 
 and religion, and human rights were unknown 
 while ignorance, injustice, outrage, oppression 
 and wrong enveloped the race like some black 
 pall of death. To use the confession of John 
 Wesley when referring to this period : 
 
 " As the once most unhappy age set in 
 
 All wickedness and every deadly sin, 
 Truth, modesty and love fled away 
 
 And force and thirst for gold claimed universal sway." 
 
 (Wes. Ser. Vol. 2, page 64 )
 
 206 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 In 1096 the Christians inaugurated the cru- 
 sades under the banner of the Cross, lasting 
 near two centuries, and resulting in the wanton 
 destruction of countless treasure and over 
 5,000,000 of lives. It was during this period 
 that the crusaders sacked and burned the city 
 of Cordova, with its magnificent library of 
 28,000 volumes, and Tripoli, of Algiers, with 
 its library of 300,000 volumes. For centuries 
 during this period of Christian domination the 
 Church in Europe was kept busy in ferreting 
 out, condemning and burning witches and here- 
 tics. The Bible, which our God-in-the-consti- 
 tution folks want constituted the supreme law 
 of the land, gave two explicit laws as to the dis- 
 position to be made of heretics and witches. 
 Kill any one, even your bosom friend and near- 
 est relatives if they dare advocate a religion or 
 more properly Atheism, that differs from the 
 approved religion of your fathers and do not 
 "suffer a witch to live." (Deut. 13: 6, 13.) 
 
 All that did not pay the priest were charged 
 as being heretics or witches, and were burned 
 alive to deter others so they dare not fail to pay 
 the Priest.
 
 CHAPTER 46. 
 
 During this age the Bible ruled the Church 
 and the Church ruled the State, and the people 
 mourned. All literature not biblical was pro- 
 scribed under penalty of death. Dr. Draper 
 tells us that "Men in terror burned their li- 
 braries to save themselves and families from 
 destruction." (I. D. O. E. page 23.) Chambers' 
 Encyclopedia estimates the number burned for 
 witchcraft alone at 9,000,000. Dr. Dick, an 
 ecclesiastical writer, states that 100,000 of Ger- 
 many's best men and women were burned alive 
 at the stake during the fourteenth century for 
 the crime of witchcraft a crime unknown to 
 science. John Wesley tells us in his sermon 
 that the religious contentions and persecutions 
 were so fierce and unsparing during this age 
 of Christian brotherly love that 40,000,000 were 
 slaughtered within the short space of forty 
 years. Was ever record of death and cruelty 
 so awful and appalling as this! Darwin says 
 that during the prevalence of this Christian

 holocaust and carnival of death, the scholars of 
 Europe were depleted by means of dungeons, 
 racks, gibbets and stakes at the rate of a thous- 
 and a year for three centuries, 300,000 teachers 
 and philosophers destroyed. Did it ever occur 
 to you that the drunkenness and licentious- 
 ness of this age were due to the same cause, 
 the adoption of Bible precepts and examples as 
 standards by the orthodox masses. From the 
 commencement of the Christian Era until near 
 the close of the eighteenth century, the Christian 
 world in its cruelty and bigotry gave to human 
 rights and individual liberty not a shadow 
 of recognition. But in 1776, Thomas Paine, 
 Thomas Jefferson, Dr. Franklin and other grand 
 old infidel patriots drew up a declaration of 
 independence, and later adopted a constitution 
 out of which God and Christ were expunged by 
 a majority vote, and under this Godless and 
 Christless constitution men and women have 
 enjoyed a greater measure of individual liberty 
 than ever before. What a contrast this infi- 
 del government presents to the tyranny, op- 
 pression and cruelty characterizing the Christian 
 governments of Europe for 1200 years, when the 
 Bible was accepted as the true charter of gov-

 ernment and the correct standard of morality. 
 With no infidel to protest against or modify its 
 noxious influence, and yet in the face of these 
 facts we have men so blinded and deluded by 
 the teachings of the Church that they are in 
 favor of fostering God and Christ in the con- 
 stitution and striking a death-blow to our lib- 
 erties. No wonder that ignorance, supersti- 
 tion and violence cover the earth as with a 
 mantle. Truthfully did John Wesley when 
 referring to this fateful age of Christian domi- 
 nation, cry out: "Oh, Earth, Earth, Earth! 
 How dost thou groan under the villainies of 
 thy Christians!" (Wes. Ser. page 66, paragraph 
 33.) Well did Talmadge say, referring to the 
 same era when the teachings of the Bible were 
 practically obeyed, that "right along beside 
 consecrated altars there were tides of drunk- 
 enness and licentiousness such as the world had 
 never seen or heard of. And the people went 
 from the house of God into the most appalling 
 iniquity." (Tal. Ser. August 4, 1887.) Just so, 
 Mr. Talmadge; causes and effect are ever true 
 to each other. The loathsome conditions you 
 speak of were the legitimate results of destroy- 
 ing and murdering philosophers and literary 
 
 14
 
 210 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 teachers and adopting the standard morals of 
 the Bible, as exemplified by its low and obscene 
 teaching and examples. Could you expect any- 
 thing better from a people that accepted " Right- 
 eous Lot," "Good Old Jacob," "Solomon and 
 David," as their examples of morality as vile 
 a lot of old drunken debauchees as ever dis- 
 graced the earth with their pestilent, loathsome 
 presence. Why should people of education 
 and refinement, who have the welfare of the 
 people at stake, allow such a loathe, vulgar and 
 obscene book in their house, whose teachings 
 are of the very worst moral character, and its 
 presence not at all necessary in this world at 
 present or hereafter, in this life, or after death.
 
 CHAPTER 47. 
 
 Perpetual vigilance imperatively necessary. 
 It is a mistake to conclude that the days of 
 bigotry and persecution are over, while the 
 Bible, the charter of tyranny, slavery and op- 
 pression is still accepted as the standard of 
 human action by orthodox masses. Remove 
 the restraining influence exerted by an infidel 
 constitution, the liberal press and the progres- 
 sive tendency of the age, and we would soon ex- 
 perience a re-enactment of the horrors of the 
 Dark Ages. The church bigots, both Prot- 
 estant and Catholic, show their true character 
 as often as circumstances enable them to do so. 
 In Henry county, Tennessee, they arrested two 
 honest, industrious and sober men for the crime 
 of working on their secluded farms during a 
 single Sunday. They were dragged from their 
 homes and helpless families by the officers of 
 the law and confined in the filthy cells of the 
 
 (211)
 
 212 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 county jail at night, and worked with felons on 
 the chain gang during the day. Was Russian 
 tyranny ever more offensive than this, and 
 similar outrages perpetrated by the heartless 
 minions of church superstition in our own 
 boasted Land of Freedom? The industry, hon- 
 esty and sobriety of these victims of orthodox 
 bigotry counted nothing in their favor. 
 
 There is no valid reason why any human being 
 should be punished for not considering the day 
 of Sunday holy. The word holy is a myth and 
 has no meaning separate and apart from church 
 bigots. It is not for the State and Nation to say 
 what is holy. Every person is responsible for 
 their own actions before or after death, not the 
 State or Nation.
 
 CHAPTER 48. 
 
 Honesty, uprightness and morality have no 
 legitimate place in a religion that the Jewish 
 God and the horrible doctrine of original sin 
 and the Vicarious Atonement. The destroying 
 and covering up of all the truthful evidence 
 against the Scriptures has been the chief aim 
 and intent of priestcraft from the time of their 
 lying genesis and mythical Adam. At the 
 three cities of Cordova, Tripoli and Alexandria 
 the Crusaders burned one million and twenty- 
 eight thousand volumes of the past world's his- 
 tory, probably covering ten thousand years 
 back and before their much vaunted genesis, 
 and some fourteen thousand years before Jesus 
 Christ ever saw the manger. Every scrap of 
 history that had any tendency to disprove the 
 old Jewish Bible or the New Testament found 
 the fiery furnace or the bottom of the sea. The 
 great pile of engravings and manuscripts de- 
 stroyed at the Nicene council, A. D. 325, would 
 in all probability have made a book as large as 
 
 (213)
 
 214 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 Josephus, which would have contained the truth- 
 ful history of the coming of Jesus Christ, and the 
 fabulous things he did and said by legerdemain 
 and embellished by his loud-mouthed ignorant 
 disciples. But priestcraft was not yet sat- 
 isfied with what they had destroyed, but had 
 the finding overhauled again at Constantinople, 
 A. D. 381, where they got still more thrown 
 out and destroyed. Have you no interest in 
 the welfare of the coming generations? Dare 
 you remain indifferent or inactive longer? If 
 you do, bow your necks and receive the merited 
 brand of traitors to your race and the age in 
 which you live. Ponder these facts well, and 
 remember that eternal vigilance is the price of 
 Liberty. Martin Luther was without doubt, 
 the greatest Catholic priest, and had the greatest 
 force of reason of any man associated with his 
 church, but it was too hard for him to break 
 away from his life training, to keep down hu- 
 man reason and Intelligent Thought, was the 
 very foundation of the Jewish and Christian 
 Church, and Ignorance and Superstition were 
 the bulwarks supporting the wealth and power 
 of the church; see what he said: "Reason, the 
 greatest harlot, the Devil's bride, the worst
 
 BIASED BY TRAINING 215 
 
 seducer of Mankind. " "Oh Man! Speculate 
 not with thy devilish queries touching God's 
 words and works." Martin Luther. Now com- 
 pare this with the greatest thinker and human 
 reasoner that ever existed on the earth, Thomas 
 Jefferson. A man that feared no future, and 
 expected no reward. A free man. "Fix Rea- 
 son on her seat firmly and call to her tribunal 
 every opinion; question boldly even the exis- 
 tence of a God, because if there be one, He must 
 more approve the homage of Reason than blind 
 fear."- -Thomas Jefferson, in letter to Peter 
 Can* (see memoirs of Thomas Jefferson.) Such 
 men were scarce in Jefferson's time, but they are 
 not scarce these days. Half the people in the 
 United States now have opinions on the same 
 line of thought as Jefferson, Franklin and 
 Paine, and within 50 years more, the great 
 majority of the educated and intelligent people 
 will step boldly out under the shade of the 
 Liberty Tree, which is firmly rooted infidel 
 Constitution, and be free men and women.
 
 CHAPTER 49. 
 
 Blind, dogmatic, undoubting faith, not mo- 
 rality, is the chief requirement of the Christian 
 system. Moody, in his meetings, asks prayers 
 for "the conversion of moral men." Whittle, 
 in his revival sermons, speaks of the sin of mor- 
 ality without faith, and the Rev. John Higginson 
 said, "That which is contrary to the Gospel 
 has no rights, and hence should have no liberty." 
 The Christian bigots of New York and other 
 cities tax the laboring masses to build, furnish 
 and support libraries and museums, and then 
 close these public institutions on Sunday, the 
 only day in the week that the poor man and 
 his family have leisure to attend them; and they 
 have tried to perpetrate a similar outrage by 
 closing the gates of the World's Fair, to the 
 injury and detriment of the laboring classes. 
 
 Reader, do you propose to witness these start- 
 ling infringements of human rights without pro- 
 test? Are you so blind that you cannot see 
 the dark shadows of church superstition now 
 surely settling down upon us? Do you propose 
 to sit supinely down and allow bigoted and 
 tyrannical ecclesiasticism to wrest from you the 
 liberties our patriot fathers purchased for you 
 with their best blood? 
 (216)
 
 CHAPTER 50. 
 
 MOSES AND JOSHUA. 
 
 Moses was a murderer (Ex. 2: 12) when he 
 fled to the Government of Midian and married 
 one of the seven daughters of a priest, who gave 
 him a home and protection for forty years, 
 (Ex. 2: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.) and afterward 
 visited him and instructed him how to govern 
 his people; but I notice that when another 
 Hebrew brought a Miclianish woman in sight of 
 Moses, he and the woman were at once mur- 
 dered in the most cruel manner, while Moses 
 and Aaron smiled, and their mythical God was 
 so well pleased that he stopped the plague. 
 (Num. 25: 6, 7, 8.) It will be noticed that a 
 Midianish woman was good enough to be the 
 wife of Moses, and good enough for Moses to 
 live with and raise his family with, and he was 
 always treated well for forty years, but true to 
 Hebrew instinct to return evil for good, so 
 Moses gave orders to destroy Midian by mur- 
 
 (217)
 
 218 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 dering and slaying all the males and all females 
 that had known man, and that too often they 
 were prisoners in their power, but true to He- 
 brew lust the virgins were given to the army 
 for prostitution. The number slain was 120,000. 
 The number of virgins reserved to appease the 
 lust of the army was 51,500. Now these are 
 some of the acts and doings of that most detest- 
 able imbecile Moses, who, in his conquest of 
 highway robbery, murder, plunder and rapine 
 in the name of his mythical God that never had 
 any existence, and then added to his long list 
 of dissembling crimes and villainies by marrying 
 a negro woman, who, without doubt, was more 
 than his equal from every moral point of view. 
 He was a natural born murderer and thief, and 
 all laws he was supposed to hand down from 
 his mythical God he stole from the Midianites 
 and the ancient Chaldean code of laws. When 
 the Hebrews went to Egypt there were only 
 seventy persons all told, (Deut. 10: 21, 22). 
 and when they left Egypt 430 years later, they 
 were about 600,000 men, or about 2,700,000 
 people. (Ex. 12: 37, 40.) The secret of that 
 was, before they were taken over by Egypt, 
 they were a lazy, do-nothing, dishonest set,
 
 MOSES INSTRUCTS THEM HOW TO LIE. 219 
 
 always poverty stricken, crying for water and 
 something to eat. The Egyptians made 
 them work, but they could not make them 
 honest, and with plenty to eat and exercise, 
 they increased like rats, and when they were 
 ready to go, Moses gave them his first lesson in 
 training thieves, to take every valuable thing 
 that they could get hold of (Ex. 12 : 35.) Moses 
 argued with his mythical God, who repented. 
 (Ex. 32: 11, 12, 13, 14.) Aaron knew all the 
 time that what Moses taught was humbuggery, 
 and he was in the scheme for the money and 
 spoils in the business, for as when Moses failed 
 to return on time he made the golden calf for 
 the people to worship. (Ex. 32: 24.) Moses' 
 legerdemain where he smote the dry rock and 
 the water came out for the people and their 
 beasts also, (Num. 20: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.) no 
 such event ever took place; just the same as 
 hundreds of other big fabulous lies worked into 
 Bible history by priestcraft to overawe the 
 ignorant people by church hoodwinking decep- 
 tions. The bigger the lies the better they take 
 with the church members all over the world. 
 Human reason or criticism has no legitimate 
 rights inside of church walls. If there ever

 were devils incarnate on this earth, Moses and 
 Joshua was the superlative loving pair. They 
 claimed the right to murder, slaughter and de- 
 stroy many nations of innocent people because 
 a mythical God that never had any existence 
 had given them the country. Their trade was 
 to manufacture big lies, slaughter, murder inno- 
 cent people and carry off their property. The 
 North American Indians never were more cruel 
 and remorseless in their deeds, and still we see 
 and hear priests and preachers in the church 
 loudly singing their praise. If I believed in the 
 Jewish and Christian's hell of damnation, I 
 would be certain that old Moses and Joshua were 
 right in the very middle of it, and then they 
 would fail to get justice even there. Then to 
 go to a revival meeting and hear the people 
 sing " There we will see the good old Moses, 
 there we'll see the good old Moses, there we'll 
 see the good old Moses, safe in the Promised 
 Land."
 
 CHAPTER 51. 
 
 POSITIVE ASSERTIONS IN 
 THE SCRIPTURES. 
 
 "Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord 
 walking in the Garden in the cool of the day." 
 (Gen. 3: 8.) Jacob says: "For I have seen 
 God face to face." (Gen. 32: 30.) Moses and 
 seventy-three other men of Israel saw the Lord 
 of Israel, and what he stood on under his feet, 
 and as it were, the body of heaven in his clear- 
 ness, and they also saw God. (Ex. 24: 9, 10, 11.) 
 " And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, 
 as a man speaketh to a friend." (Ex. 33: 11.) 
 The Lord shows his back parts to Moses. (Ex. 
 33: 22, 23.); which are positively contradicted 
 in the scriptures. "And he (God) said, thou 
 canst not see my face, for there shall no man see 
 me and live." (Ex. 33: 20.) "And I will take 
 away my hand and thou shalt see my back 
 parts; but my face shall not be seen." (Ex. 33: 
 23.) "No man has seen God at any time." 
 (John 1: 18.) The apostle Paul says: "The 
 King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who only 
 hath immortality, dwelling in light which no 
 man can approach unto; whom no man hath, 
 
 (221)
 
 222 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 nor can see." (I. Tim. 6:15, 16.) Who can 
 believe the scriptures when it is full of asser- 
 tions and contradictions? "The Creator fainteth 
 not, neither is weary." (Isaiah 40: 28.) " He 
 rested and was refreshed." (Ex. 31 :17.)" I am 
 weary of repenting." (Jer. 15: 6.) "The eyes 
 of the Lord are in every place." (Rev. 15: 3.) 
 "But the Lord came down to see the city." 
 (Gen. 15: 5.) "God is not man that he should 
 repent." (Num. 23: 19.) "Israel's God re- 
 pented of the evil." (Jonah 3: 10.) "His anger 
 endureth but for a moment." (Paul 30: 5.) 
 "For ye have kindled a fire in my anger that 
 will burn forever." (Jas. 17: 4.) "God cannot 
 be tempted wth evil, neither tempted he any

 there is but one God, and that God is the eternal 
 unlimited, unchangeable Intelligence.
 
 CHAPTER 52. 
 
 In this day and time of scientific attainments 
 all the church worships of the world are fast 
 becoming obsolete, and in the near future 
 they will become more so. The Sunday, within 
 the next fifty years will be antedated and a 
 thing of the past. A man is a bigot and a fool 
 that neglects his harvest or any other kind of 
 crop on account of Sunday. It is no crime to 
 disbelieve in the sanctity of the Sabbath day, 
 as every person is individually responsible for 
 their own acts, and not the State and Nation. 
 
 " Know then, thyself; presume not God to scan; 
 The proper study of mankind is man." Pope. 
 
 "The hocus-pocus phantasm of a God like 
 another Cerberus with one body and three heads 
 had its origin and growth in the blood of thous-

 attribute of Human Intelligence, God's greatest 
 gift to Man, and he that would hinder, impede 
 obstruct or entrammel Human Reason is an 
 enemy of the human race."- Thomas Jefferson 
 Simpson. I dedicate and send this book, 
 greeting to all the Human Race, and, I hope, for 
 the betterment of all Mankind.

 APPENDIX No. 1. 
 
 SIMPSON'S SANITARIUM. 
 
 Clarksburg is located in the most healthy 
 part of Missouri or the great west, being on the 
 high table land between the Missouri and Osage 
 rivers, and some 250 feet above these rivers, 
 where there is a healthful breeze of pure vital 
 oxygenated air, free from sulphurous and other 
 poisonous and contaminating gases such as are 
 given off from the locations of large cities. 
 Surrounded by large smelting works for glass, 
 iron and other metals, factories, machine shops, 
 rolling mills, discharging sewage, waste and 
 filth from street sweeping and cleanings, de- 
 caying vegetables and from flesh in the city 
 and near-by graveyards, offal from stock yards, 
 slaughter houses and stock car cleanings, and 
 many other sources of filth, and were it not for 
 the fact that the carbonaceous and other nox- 
 ious gases are heavier than the air and settle 
 down on or near the surface of the ground 
 where great quantities are drawn through the 
 fire by chimney flues and smokestacks and de- 
 stroyed and in that way purify the air to some 
 extent, otherwise the health would be appalling, 
 indicating that it is more healthy to sleep one

 or two stories above the surface, but in turn the 
 chimney flues and smokestacks throw out a 
 great quantity of soot contaminating and mixing 
 with the air and finding its way into lungs, ger- 
 minating diseases of the lungs, trachea and 
 bronchi, resulting in consumption and pre- 
 mature death. 
 
 Consumption can be cured, says Dr. T. J. 
 Simpson on consumption, written five years ago. 
 
 Every cold, every cough may mean con- 
 sumption, if neglected. If the cold or cough 
 does not abate in four to six weeks by the treat- 
 ment of the family physician, then a physician 
 better posted on the treatment and cure of 
 consumption should be engaged. A physician 
 that can only palliate the disease is of no benefit 
 except that the consumptive may be with family 
 and friends a few days longer by such treatment, 
 but death must be the result. Bronchitis, lar- 
 yngitis, tonsilitis, tubercular meningitis, miliary 
 tuberculosis, caseous phthisis (which is cat- 
 arrhal pneumonia), tubercular phthisis. Fibroid 
 phthisis, stenosis of trachea and bronchi, are all 
 consumption in its incipiency, developing into 
 phthisis pulmonalis. 
 
 All the aforesaid diseases are so many roads 
 or steps in the stairway that leads down to tu- 
 bercular consumption and death. All are con- 
 sumption; all can be palliated, a great many 
 can be cured. Hereditary consumption, corn- 
 is
 
 226 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 plicated with scrofula, heart disease or other 
 chronic ailments, or in tubercular consumption 
 that have progressed until the lungs have be- 
 come hepatic, these must die. 
 
 In all stages of consumption, bacilli exist in 
 the sputa and in the expired air, establishing 
 the fact that the disease is contagious. Fur- 
 niture should be dusted and the rooms swept 
 while the rooms are well ventilated, and with a 
 heavy veil over nose and mouth. The sputa 
 should be on paper and burned, and the excre- 
 ment buried, and no other person should be 
 allowed to occupy the same bed or room with a 
 consumptive person. If these rules were strict- 
 ly followed, deaths by consumption would be 
 greatly decreased. Never use patent nostrums; 
 they only benefit the seller and not the user. 
 There is not now, nor ever will be, any one 
 mixture or prescription of drugs that will cure 
 consumption, as the disease is always changing 
 and the treatment has to be changed from time 
 to time to meet the changes of the disease. 
 
 The great drawbacks in the treatment of 
 consumption are: 
 
 First, they do not call a physician soon 
 enough; and second, when they do call a physi- 
 cian, they do not call a physician, like myself, 
 who makes the treatment of consumption a 
 specialty and a success. 
 
 The great cause of consumption, diabetes,
 
 SIMPSON'S SANITARIUM. 227 
 
 rheumatism, heart disease and other chronic 
 afflictions, is by imperfect physical structure 
 of the human organization, as the result of il- 
 logical mating in the marriage unions, contrary 
 to the laws of human temperaments. If all 
 marriage unions were made in accordance with 
 the laws of human temperaments, the result 
 would be greater perfection in the physical struc- 
 ture of the human body, less disease, less doctor 
 bills, greater happiness and longer life by an 
 hundred fold. If the human race were so bred, 
 there would not be so many people as now, but 
 the most perfect would probably live and enjoy 
 felicitously a happy life from 150 to 200 years, 
 and they would have access and use of their 
 accumulated experience and wisdom in inven- 
 tions, arts and sciences, developing the com- 
 forts of life to that degree not now competent 
 for the human mind to conceive. Criminals 
 are bred and born criminals, rather to be pitied 
 than punished. 
 
 I have not after five years changed my mind 
 in regard to the mating and breeding of the 
 human race, more especially the Caucasian, or 
 white race, contrary to the laws of human tem- 
 peraments. When we can see right before our 
 eyes the improvements that have been made in 
 the birds of the air, the domestic fowls, the dogs, 
 the hogs, the horses, the cattle, as well as the 
 vegetable kingdom and the fruits, then turn
 
 228 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 our eyes on the great white race of mankind, 
 the highest, the greatest, the superlative animal 
 that inhabits the earth, and see that there is no 
 more Intelligence used or pains taken by the 
 people in their mating and breeding than the 
 common cur-dog just as they happen to meet 
 or get acquainted. 
 
 I know, of my own experience, two marriages 
 where in mating the men and women were well 
 formed physically, and healthy. In Number 
 One, the mating was properly done in accord- 
 ance with the laws of Human Temperaments; 
 they had born to them sixteen children, four- 
 teen boys and two girls, and the father told me 
 when his youngest child was nine years old, 
 that separate and apart from his midwife bill 
 that for doctor or medicine he had never paid 
 as much as ten dollars in all his married life; 
 that they had whooping cough, measles, mumps 
 and other local troubles, but that all the chil- 
 dren were alive and healthy. 
 
 Number Two had ten children born to them, 
 all of which were weaklings and eight of which 
 died with consumption before they were twenty 
 years old, and the father and mother both 
 caught the disease from the children and they 
 too died of consumption before they were forty 
 years old. While the above two marriages as 
 stated were facts, they are no doubt to some 
 extent exceptions, but the tendency is strongly

 indicated that improper mating does produce 
 consumption and other diseases and lowers the 
 physical structure as well as the intellect of 
 the human race. 
 
 There should be a man at every county seat 
 in the United States that is well versed in the 
 laws of Human Temperaments, where boys and 
 girls, men and women, could go, and for a small 
 fee he would write a good description of their 
 future mate that would be the best adapted to 
 them to become the father or mother of their 
 children, and the effect on the people in three 
 or four generations would be astounding. Under 
 such a system, when the young man or young 
 lady, single man or lady went forth to seek 
 their future wife or husband they would select 
 such a one as in their opinion filled the descrip- 
 tion best for their well-being and future happi- 
 ness, and such as would be an improvememt of 
 the race and nation. It would not be neces- 
 sary for every boy or girl to be a professor of 
 the Laws of Human Temperaments and their 
 beneficial or baleful effects. It is evident to 
 all posted men and women that great benefits 
 would redound to the people and the nation. 
 It would lessen disease, sickness, sorrow and 
 afflictions of the people and at the same time 
 add to the beauty, symmetry of form, physical 
 strength, intellectual force of origination and 
 inventive skill to the very pinnacle of human
 
 230 FACTS, TRUTHS AND REASON. 
 
 attainments for the benefit, well-doing and 
 happiness of the human race. Then the people 
 would have the full measure of intelligence 
 (God), within them, and would have attained 
 to all the heaven they are entitled to on this 
 earth or future eternity. To some it might 
 seem more desirable to seek a mythical Heaven 
 beyond the grave, but for me, I prefer my 
 Heaven here on earth, from which I never 
 expect to go. I prefer to live in and on real 
 things, and not in and on mythical expectations 
 somewhere in the eternal unlimited infinitude. 
 I do not use any prayers in my treatment of 
 the diseased and afflicted. All of that kind of 
 mythical medicine is entirely too thin to enter 
 into any of my prescriptions. Prayer is a 
 tenacious humbug, never has cured anyone, 
 and never will. My medical skill in the treat- 
 ment of disease is as a specialist. I do not do a 
 general practice, and only do minor surgery. 
 My treatment of consumption and many other 
 diseases is my own discovery and not known to 
 the medical profession, and by which I have had 
 good success. Many of the diseases I treat by 
 lotions applied externally, aided by instructions. 
 Many diseases can be cured by dieting aided by 
 instructions. Some diseases can be cured en- 
 tirely by instructions. While I make a specialty

 Neuralgia, Sick Headache, Migraine, Tiedoreaux,
