People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 February 1895 — WHY CHRIST WAS KILLED. [ARTICLE]

WHY CHRIST WAS KILLED.

He Symathlzed with the Poor and Oppressed. Rev. Myron Reed of Denver, Col., said: “What was Jesus Christ killed for and who killed him? He tramped all the way from Nazareth to Calvary. He was born in a borrowed barn. Respectable sinners ho called “whited sepulchres." He walked into a temple he didn't own and drove out some rtioney changers lie was not acquainted with, though he was neither sheriff nor under sheriff. * * * Right down at the bottom Christ was killed for his sympathy with the poor and contempt for the rich and unjust He was regarded by the respectable classes as an outlaw, a felon, and, if you please, an anarchist!” F. O. Dennett lias started a new People’s paper in Chicago, the “Age.” He will make an eight page daily of the publication, beginning the first of May. The weekly edition shows that editorally, at least, the paper will be a success. The Populists need a daily of national circulation from Chicago, aud we hope the Age will be sustained. It all contempt of court were a crime, this country would have morel prisons than schools. There is more contempt of court at large nowadays than patriotism in office.
