I can see the devil has a powerful influence over you as it had over Voltaire, Paine, Ingersoll, Edison, Hubbard and other non-believers. You infidels preach against God's Bible and will be burned in the everlasting fires of hell for it. You will be glad to have a drop of cold water in your suffering, but god will not have mercy--it will be too late then. Hell is full of agnostics and infidels and non-believers burning and suffering and I warn you to have a care as to what you say. The Catholics and Christian Scientists are as much of the devil's doings as you are, so you'll have company if you do not repent of your infidelity. You are adding to God's word and it is punishable by his wrath (Rev. 22:18.) Your book is a lot of lies and infidelity. N. S. W. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 30, 1911. A REPLY. Mr. N. S. W., Birmingham, Ala. My dear sir: In reply to your letter of Jan. 30th, concerning my "Humanitarian Philosophy," I wish to candidly tell you that I am not at all afraid of your sort of god. The God I worship is not very likely to materialize in a selfish fanatical subject, but always comes to the surface in the heart and soul of honorable, conscientious thinking men--men who either profess nothing and live according to custom or in men who profess religion and uphold their God as kind, loving and merciful. This latter man is an ethical vegetarian and will not accept the cruelties and inconsistencies of the Bible but says "it is an error in translation." As to the lower animals, one preying upon the other, the conscientious, devout Bible believer presents the theory of his own freeing God Almighty from the sinful responsibility. He divides Bible truth from Bible error--he accepts the lofty and beautiful and holds fast to that which is good. If you intend to preach a gospel of Love you will find it an utter impossibility to do so if you do not live a Humanitarian life--a life that forbids the killing of any thing that suffers pain, and fear of death as you yourself may sometimes suffer. In conclusion I wish to impress you with the fact that your letter is sufficient proof that you read the Bible in a haphazard style and know not its contents. Every assertion, every quotation and every conclusion in my "Humanitarian Philosophy," my dear sir, is absolutely true and justified. Respectfully, E. E. KUSEL. FROM THE W. A. T. L. The tobacco smoking on street cars has been very much discussed in your valuable paper recently. Now, I will suggest that all persons who object to the poisonous effects of tobacco register a protest every chance they get and spend some good money, as I am doing, to back up their argument against the most deadly plant used by human beings. There is no traffic so degrading in its influence and effect as tobacco. It goes hand in hand with liquor, and when we stop the youth of the land from using the weed, then the saloon will have no customers. G. L. R.
