SUNDAY- .'.MARCH. 2G, 1SS2
F. HALLORAN t Editor.
As TYc Sec It.
An article on Ingersoll in last
Sunday's issue, in which that indi
vidual was alluded to as a plagia
rist, started a discussion in relation
to the merits of the uhole'system
of religious teaching. "Wc have
received several communications,
which are carefully filed away, as
being of the class that, like wine,
improve with age. The charge
against Ingersoll, of plagiarism, is
only a side show in this circus: we
are all plagiarists as far as that is
cencerned: the ideas in this article
are all token from another man:
every one has to get his ideas from
his fellow-humans: no one that wc
know of, ever came into this bright
world with a stock of knowledge
on hand. He had to beg or bor
row or steal what he knows from
his neighbors, and unless he arro
gates too much praise 'to himself,
he is not to be too severely scored
for his efforts to get hold of a few
ideas and thoughts that the human
race have had in common, from
King David down to David Davis.
But the matter of free thought
is a world-embracing one. As a
general thing, men ought to grow
wiser as they grow older. Some do.
Others do not. All who have prof
ited by the garnered experiences
of time who have mingled much
with, and learned the ways of, the
world, the flesh and the devil, and
of the church, also; and who, abo've
all, are actuated by that spirit of
kindness and charity that should
prevail in our dealings with our
fellow beings, all of this class will
agree with us that a bl nd and un
reasoning opposition to the estab
lished religious methods for the
world's redemption, is not wise.
One may believe all systems of
religion 'to be false as the out
growth of barbarism, -or as founded
in the ignorance aud superstition
of man's undeveloped nature,
and yet he cannot intelligently
deny that there is a necessity for
religious restraint over the minds
andactions of men ofsome men,
of many- men not all, perhaps;
but of such a large percentage of
the race as to make tho mainte
nance of the church, in its varied
forms of worship, an essential if
not the main prop of society.
It may be, and is held by most
free thinkers, that5 if all religious
-teaching was supplemented by
proper instruction in the laws of
health, sobriety, and right living
that if science was made to take
the place of faith and levelation
better general results would follow
than are now witnessed. This is
extremely doubtful, for the reason
that the average man lacks the ca
pacity for philosophical application
of the truths of science. The les
sons of nature and the laws of life
are nothing to him. Ho can only
bo reached, and that often indiffer
ently, through hi? fears; or stimu
lated to right action through hope
of reward. It is with this somewhat
seriously damaged article of hu
manity the average lot, which
most people will concede is a bad
lot that society has to deal, for it
is the lower stratum of this disa
greeable average that causes socie
ty the most trouble.
He who derides all church influ
ences and religious teacings would
hardly caro to reside in a commu
nity where there were no auch
influences and teachings unless
ho were permitod to select his
neighbors, which would scarcely be
possible. Churches and grog shops
may exist s-ide by side; and yet
most persons who take no stock in
either, would rather the two should
exist together than that the grog
shops should have it all to them
selves. It is only the inconsiderate
and unreasoning infidel the one
with but one idea, and that badly
demoralized who would p'ull
down thp churches and destroy at
a blow the pious faith of their de
vout membership.
The human race is still in its in
fancy is only beginning to walk.
It needs all tho helps and encour
agements of religion as well as
science to keep it from stumbling:
and they are not always sufficient.
Although groping amid shadows
it is ever reaching out after and
struggling for the light. And it
will find it sometime the true
light the rigctric light of Wis
dom. The taw of eternal progress
is graven in the heart of the rock
cf the plant of man. All life is
barbed with a divine purpose
ever penetrating and reaching for
ward holding fast to that which
it gains, and never going back
wards that is, in its entirety and
ultimate.
And so we welcome all helps to
growth, spiritual or intellectual
care not whence they come
whether from saint or sinner, Jew
or Gentile, Pagan or Christian.
He is our brother who loves his
fellow men, and- would do unto
them as he would that they should
do unto him who strives by word
and act to so live that when death
shall have placed its icy seal upon
his lips,- the fragranco of many a
tender memory will permeate the
hearts of those who knew him
best.
In Memoriam.
The thousands who have read
his works with pleasure and de
light will feel a personal loss in
the news that Henry "W. Long
fellow died at Boston last Friday
morning. "Were those whose
hours of pain he has solaced, and
whose hours of leisure beguiled,
to give but a dime, each, he would
have the proudest monument of
any in the list of illustrious Ameri
can dead. Born in 1807, he, for
half a century contributed a wealth
of poetic literature to his country,
and every line of it chaste, enno
bling and refined. His great co
temporary William Cullen Bry
ant passed away, full of years
and gracious fame, in 1878; of the
trio of American poets, but one
now remains, Whittier, and his
advancing years weigh heavily
upon him.
To those three American poets
our country owes much of its pres
ent literary ability. "When it was
fashionable to sneer at American
authors and ape the sickly senti
mentality of Byron and the soft
nothings of "L. E. L.," Bryant,
Longfellow and Whittier found in
thp woods and waters of their own
land inspiration that was breathed
in tho loftiest numbers. "Evan
geline," "Thanatopsis," "Hia
watha,"' will long endure, and
"Tales of a Wayside Inn," com
pare favorably with the polished
English of Tennyson. Of the
dead poet's works it may be said,
as he himself said of a brother
peet: "The pages of thy book I
read, and as I close each one; my
heart responding.ever 8aid,'Serv ant
of God, well Jone.'"
