The Bible says: Come now, let us reason together. The Bible says: Faith without works is dead. The Bible says: He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a human. The Bible says: Beast and man have one breath; so that man hath no pre-eminence above the beast; as one dieth so dieth the other. The Bible says: Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. The Bible says: Every moving thing that liveth (grain, fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc.) shall be food for you, but flesh with the life thereof which is blood shall ye not eat. The Bible says: God blessed every creature. The Bible says: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth and every tree, on the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. The Bible says: All that cry Lord, Lord, are not of God. The Bible says: They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my Holy Mountain. The Bible says: I am God, I change not. The Bible says: Do a little consistent heart cleaning so that the human mind's eye shall be spiritual to see and segregate right from wrong. The Bible says: Christ taught love, leniency, forgiveness, tenderness and mercy. The Bible says: Dead flies cause the apothecary's ointment to send forth a stinking savour. Capital punishment or legalized murder is another miscarriage of consistency; it does not dovetail into mercy and it does not blend into the law that God has given man an allotted time upon the earth. What right have twelve jurors to virtually cancel the life of a murderer? Incarcerate the offender under a life sentence with proper food and training, and ultimately that murderer's heart and soul might be purer than Judge, jurors and all connected with the courts of justice. * * * * * If a criminal under excitement or cool pre-meditation takes the life of a human being, the cool, considerate jurors, responsible for the death penalty, are just as guilty of murder as the prisoner. * * * * * The butcher is rejected as a juror on a murder trial on the ground that his business has hardened his heart, and yet the Judge of the Superior Court, the sheriff and his deputies and the eligible jurors all eat of the beef the butcher slaughters. * * * * * Despite the protests that may come to the surface in reading the inspired, pointed truths, the fact should be reiterated that Justice, Kindness and Mercy for every living creature is in the heart and soul of the true religionist. The sand-blind carnivorous faith curist (who reads his Bible through a pair of eye-glasses not made by God Almighty) tells us of a divine healing power. We hear many testimonies from the lips of these people praising this wonderful (?) curative agency, but when sensibly considered we know the "power" removes only visionary ills.
