That's the kind of religion to have, and any person who has dealt wfUt A. H. Roegeman, No. 118 •onth Fourth street, will agree that be manufactures and sells shoes on this principle.

As soon as the weather lets up so it will be comfortable getting about we advise a call at R. Foster & Son's elegant and well filled furniture warerooms, on Fourth street, north of Cherry. Bargains there.

Many of our readers have resolved to le better this year than last, and it is proper to say that nowhere in town can they do better in the matter of Hats and Caps than at S. Loeb fc Co's., sign of tho Big Black Bear, corner of Main and Fifth streets. Just now you will find bargains there in Seaskin Caps, Fur and Plush Robes, Gloves and all kinds of Genta' Furnishing Goods.

Button fc Co., have had an immense trade in holiday goods, and yet there are at tho Central Bookstore many desirable articles peculiar to the holiday trade which will now be sold at very low prices, and it would be well for all who want bargains in beautiful Books, Pictures, Photograph and Autograph Albums, to give the Central Bookstore an oarly visit.

Mr. Duvall comes here as a stranger, but he is possessod of qualities which will quickly make him acquainted with our people, Hoseoms to havo energy and push, and will koep his establishment so stocked as to command a large share of the grocery patronage. Give him a call.

BEECHER ON BOB.

THE PLYMOUTH PASTOR THINKS INGERSOLL"DON'TKNOW."

THE DOSS INFIDEL TALKS BACK.

Sunday beforo last, Mr. Beecher touched on Bob Ingersoll, whon he preached what ho called a double sormon on

Doubt, Infidelity, Atheism and Skepticism." He remembered a phrase in Ingersoll's political speech in the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, in which Ingersoll expressed the very sum and substance of the Gospel itself. "The trouble with Ingersoll," he said,

Is this: He has selected the excresences of human life a% it has grown up in churches, and has represented the excrosences as tho essence of religion. Suppose a physician, wishing to get up museum representing tho human body in all ages and conditions, should collect Idiots and lunatics with wens and warts all over them? Suppose that the physician should gather these into a museum and say, 'There's humanity for you. What do you think of that?' Now that is just ^vhat Ingersoll is doing in the religious world. He says scores of true things that havo been said before, but he don't know it. He is not widely read in theology. I'm afraid he dont read his Bible very much. What does ho read it for? I'll tell you. The dove flying over the landscape sees all that is sweet, and peaceful, but when the bussard and the vulture lay abroad the first thing they see is a loathsome carcass, and if it is anywharo in sight they dont fail to see it. Ingersoll sees what ho is looking after."

A reporter of the Chicago Times met the "boss infidel," the other day, and upon asking "Did you see what Beecher said about you?" Mr. Ingersoll said: "Yea, I saw it, and was not surprised at it. You must remember that Mr. Beecher has to protect himself, that he is altogether more liberal thah his congregation, and that in all probability some old members and elderly ladies were thoroughly shocked and hurt to think heshomd'so flu- forget himself aa to

8 TERKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL3

The erysipelas has its grip on Fonts, Thee. J. Gist attended the funeral of a brother in Missouri this week* jy!

for one

evening,

with a

man who had denounced Jehovah, rimply because he had ordered the cutting of the throats of a few babes. I have no doubt but that Mr. Beecher felt exactly what he said in the first instance, and I have no doubt but what he met with so much opposition and censure from the members of his church that he felt the necessity of taking it back. But this makes no difference to me. I shall do what I can while I live to make con: gations generous enough, so that tneir ministers may be ever so noble without ever having to regret it. I shall always remember Mr. Beecher -with great kindness. I shall attribute all the good things he says to Beecher, and all the bad things to bis religion. I really think he is much better than his creed. My idea of liberty goes so far that I accord to all people the privilege of being inconsistent. The great objection I nave to what is properly known as religion, is that it has a tendency to destroy intellectual liberty. People imagine that belief is exceedingly important. I think happiness is worth all the belief in the world. I can imagine no happiness without liberty. If there is an infinite God who made us all, and put us upon an infinitely mysterious world* he certainly ought not to damn us for guessing where we came from and where we are going to. Yet most religious people imagine that by denying something in a book we can fill the infinite mind with rage and frenzy. Certainly an infinite being ought to allow me to enjoy myself. I shall believe that he is willing until I find out better. In looking at the history of the world I find that the in flu ence of the church has decreased just in proportion that man has become prosperous and happy. There was a time when the church had authority. That time has passed away. The world is not controlled by the pulpit. Great actors stand higher than great preachers. Henry Irving is a much more important man than Dean Stanley. There is no minister on earth who can draw as many people as many nights, and preach the same sermon as Joseph Jefferson can by playing Rip Van Winkle. Of course, I admit that there are great men in the pulpit, but the pulpit has lost the ear of the civilized. There is the trouble. Nearly all the ministers in New York preached against Sarah Bernhardt, and yet the houses, when she played, were filled every night from pit to dome. If ever an actress gave vantage ground to attacks she is one. Yet, with everything in their favor except her genius, they totally failed, So in Montreal an edict or bull in both the papal and Irish sense, was issued by the bishop of that most holy diocese, forbidding his parishioners to witness the performances of Bernhardt, yet the bull had no more effect in diminishing the audiences than the one Hewitt gave Garfield did in cementing friendship of donor and donee. At last we find the sheet irdn thunder of the church attended by the same kind of result as in the theater. There is this frightful inconsistency: We forgive men and women of great intellectuality a thousand times easier than ordinary —le, yet the opposite should be prac-

We shoula hold to the highest

account those who know the most, instead of those who know the least. A genius should be held to stricter accountability than mediocrity, yet a great painter, sculptor, actor, actress, preacher and poet, are given a license that the common man may never look to have. People are glad to honor a woman of genius who has violated a groat many of the commandments, but holds in utter contempt a common girl who has broken only one. But my philosophy covers all this by saying that everyone does as he must do that every thought Is a necessary product that no man, no woman, has the slightest control, and that the idea of accountability is a kind of moral mirage. Some time society will find that if we wish to have a different kind of people we must change the conditions. Some time we will see that every brain is like a field, open to the wind, sown by seed of chance, and that only that can row which some hand has planted, uch a doctrine, it seems to me, would make us tender, charitable and generous. About the Saran Bernhardt business, I think men should say nothing. If women wish to talk, I have no objection, but as for mon, they had better keep still. There is a story somewhere about an opportunity having been given to a lot of gentlemen to throw stones at a wompn on condition that they had not been guilty of a certain offense themselves. Perhaps that story is not applicable in this day and generation, ana perhaps it is. If applicable now, I will suggest that all ministers who after this preach upon that subject will be kind enough to take that story for a text."

Do you receive many propositions to discuss theological questions?" Yes. I receive a good many challenges. Persons who desire to discuss them Avith me generally publish a challenge in some newspaper then, after a weok or two, send me a marked co

TrMi

That is followed by a letter, generally in bad English. To these challenges I have paid no notice. I may have answered some—I havo forgotten how many—but I have not as yet received a challenge from anybody whose position I would desire. Nearly every one seems to be seeking some notoriety, and to such I pay no attention. I have been for years very anxious to discuss these questions with somebody who stood for his church, and who was truly and sincerely orthodox. Some minister in Buffalo, the other day, I understand, challenged me, but he wanted it distinctly understood that there was to be no jesting and nothing like mirthfulness. Superstition has always detested mirthfulness. I suppose it is upon the same principlo that an impostor detests inquisitiveness. The Old Testament has been for centuries protected by a law against jests. What would we think of a law to protect Shakspeare from mockery How would we regard a statute making it a penal offense to deride the symphonies of Beethoven What would we think of a constitutional provision denying to a person the rights of ritisenship who should maintain that Michael Angelowas no sculptor? Yet wo find it necessary to protect the meetings of God by legislative enactment. It has always seemed to me that an infinite being might write a book that would not necessarily excite the laughter of his children. Why should it be more wicked to laugh at His book than anything else God made? Why i-uwuld it not be just as wicked to make fun of monkeys as parables Why ought not a man be damned for denying the attraction of

and they will not explain. As a matter of fact there is nothing left now to be discussed. Nobody worth discussing with believes in the inspiration of the Scriptures. Nobody worth discussing maintains the old doctrines of predestination and damnation. Nobody worth discussing with now pretends that it is necessary to believe any doctrine in order to be saved. Those who preach them doctrines are ashamed of them. To a very great majority of ministers these notions are simply horrible. "Now and then a man like Dr. T&>mas takes a bold stand. Then, of course, he is driven out of hischurch. The process

sigimiiis

is going on to-day everywhere. Men of genius are being driven ont of the church. Only the orthodox hold high positions, ana only the stupid are orthodox. The result is, in order to keep np the organization *they have to keep the brains out. Dr. Thomas was probably the best man in the Methodist Church, and if the church had been willing to grow would have been a very great leader. The church was not willing to grow, and consequently had to get nd of him. The result will be that he will have a far larger congregation, four or five times more salary, and eight hun dred times more respect. His success will be at a premium, held out between the thumb and finger of the future, tempting in the horizon lor euery other Methodist preacher that happens to have some sense? and the smartest fellow in denomination will get it." "Would it not be a good thing if ministers met and discussed these questions themselves?" "No. Ministers ean not discuss. They have not the necessary patience, nor, as a rule, good nature. The trouble is they have been taught that their creed is all the truth there is. They are perfectly satisfied on that point. Consequently the only object of discussion is to beat the other fellow. Neither has an idea that he is going to learn anything by discussion, because both think they know it all before the discQssion com mences. This precludes the idea of useful discussion between ministers of dif ferent denominations. We must remember, too, that there is no way of settling a discussion. Lawyers discuss a case that is decided by a court If one side thinks the court is wrong an appeal can be taken, but thero is finally a court that settles it. Now there is no oourt to settle a religious discussion. It may be settled centuries after both the disputants are dead, but each one goes to his grave confident that he just wore the other one out. Ministers, you know, preach substantially what they suppose their congregations believe. Congregations generally suppose that the preach or believes what he preaches, whereas in most cases both parties are utterly mistaken. I do not mean by this that ministers preach what they really believe not to be so. But I think many of them reach, what they do not really believe, cannot imagine a decent man believing in an eternity of punishment. Just sup pose a case. Here is a young man 16 or 17 yeara of age. We will admit that he had attended one of Moody and Sankey's meetings, that his mother had presented him with a bible, that for four years he had attended Sunday school. \Ve will further admit that in spite of this he did not believe a word of it, that he was never converted, never had a new heart, but that he was a first-rate kind of a boy, that he was honest, good natured, always took the part of the little fellows, divided fair, and that in this honorable state of mina he died. Now, if the orthodox religion is true, this boy oes to hell, not simply for a few days iut for a period that imagination can hardly have the faintest conception of. Suppose that every flake of snow that ever fell had been in the shape of a figure 9, that every spear of grass, every leaf, every grain of sand, and every drop oi rain, had on it the figure 9, and suppose that all these figures could be multiplied together, commencing with the first 9, multiplying that by the second, making 81, and that by the third, in geometrical ratio, through all the flakes, and drops, and spears, and leaves, and grains, and then have each one of the units represented by this immense, enormous, and overpowering total stand for hundreds of billions of ages, and yet the punishment, the years of pain to bo borne by that boy, in comparison with this total, would be like comparing all the forests with oneleaf, or all the oceans with one drop of rain. Yet people get up in their pulpits and preach such infamous, absurd, devilish, and rotten falsehoods. Not only that, but they do it in the nime of infinite mercy. Of what use is it to talk about discussing with such people?" "What is your idea of immortality?" "I was asked that question the other day, and my reply was about this: There was a time when I was hot, after that I was, now I am,. The question is, shall ply th all

I live again? I re mt it is fully as live again when I have lived, whi

probable that I shal do live, as that I should have lived, when I did not. least of it."
