33, '95. MR. justice to free liiukers, kindly permit tbe correc- of some misconceptions regard- UK them. Like our courts of justice, free- liiukers seek and justice by 'equally hearing both fides" and rejecting all "hear-say" evidence. Extraordinary claims can be established only by extraordinary strict adlier uce to these rules There is more anarchy in tlmn in ac tiuK this fair, truth seeking method either in theology or law.

The 'charity" that lacks the MellectUHl hospitality to "hear tbe other side" condemns itself. Freethinkers advocate the highest possible standard of morality. They sa): A wrong, once done, can never ue undone. It is impossible to es cape the retributive consequences of wrong-doing Nature knows no such contravention of her laws as miracles." the retributive consequences of wrong-doing inevitable, freethinkers studiously avoid doing wrong. Hence there are no freethinkers in our jails and penitentiaries.

On the other hand, they who believe they can, through supernatural intervention, escape the retributive consequences of their wrong doing, are lets to do wrong. Hence )lmt class (ills our prisons Eipect- the full peimlty of the law deters from prime than expecting the Governor's pardon Believe in na ture's retribution pr vents more crime Ihau belief iu ttod's imi- don. Belief in supernatural iule vention destroys uiauV self reliance The ancient high civilization i heathen Greece and Rome with the growth of Christianity lln-r. The most i i a i in the ''durkainVwheii every heretic was burned at i and none but christmne survived Freethinkers like Onlileo anil Bruin, were imprisoned aud burned. Tlir great Alexandrian library was like- wftse consumed Even our (tritium tic and Arabic notation come from heathen Arabic Have to day "civilized Chrlstlanit)!" Listen Men can write and alter books They csu't make jour brains or reason Then follow God-made reasons rather than man made books --intelligent understanding rather than blind faith.

Belief rests on evidence and is as involuntary--as incoutrolable--as is the beating of your heart. Hence lawyen, politicians and theologians try to exclude adverse evidence. Will God bless or damn men for that over which they have no control--their belief? It slanders a just God to so accuse him. As eradicating smallpox does not necessitate tbe substitution of another in Us stead, so the eradication ol one superstition does not necessitate the substitution ofanotber in its stead. As health is a sufficient substitute for disease, so truth should be a sufficient substitute for error.

Honesty should be a sufficient substitute for bypocricy. D. WEBSTER GROH. Smith, spent Sunday, last week, with tbe family of Wm. Zelgler, at Greencastle.
