10. Let the reckless affect to divest mind of all future organizations, still its social relations are paramount to harmonize the earth, and render it, on principle, all ever purposed, and that constitutes an identity of universal harmony and beatitude that bespeak a co-relative, expansive identity, and annihilate doubts and unprincipled pretences where a universality is essential, conceding at death as at birth, the supremacy to the creator, and his perfect conservation for eternity, consequently no messiahship or pagan materialism can encroach on the soul's sublimest rights and attributes.

MESSIAHSHIPS OR VICEGERENTSHIPS OF PAGANISM.

THE omniscience and immutability of a perfect creator, above all, his foreknowledge, atterly preclude most absolutely, and without the least doubt, any intercession or messiahship.

Creation's nature resting on immutable principles, utterly precludes any created beings, from the character of Messiahs, intercessors or vicegerents.

All created beings are endowed with the inalienable character of creation, and incontestibly prove the unity and supremacy of God the Creator.

The whole universe, as the elaboration of his genius, attests the complete titles to God's sole ownership and management, as it perfects the exhibition of his adequate and competent power.

Then, no physiological endowments of creatures, as all stand in that relation to God, can create the necessity or power of an intercessor, a reflection and libel on God, as all created beings of rational minds, start with the innate faculties of rational religion, and are directed by best cultivation of the qualities of mind to mature their fruits of happiness.

The intercessor, messiah, or vicegerent, is a character necessarily mortal, and is resolved by all the elements of creation necessarily to the ordinary character of every day life, most potent in the essential position of individual mind. The intercessor then becomes a preacher, teacher, or expounder of peculiar systems that he pretends to discover, that necessarily must be essayed on their intrinsic merits, and assuredly all such must be condemned, as they have not pure principles or that can be appropriated as his, that he can never originate, for such principles are universal, and were conservative to the universe before his creation, only requiring mind's analysis and appropriation to the right purpose of rational religion, that cannot possibly admit of any power less than God's and his unity; all else is necessarily pagan, of which messiahships are a part.

The subsequent action of messiahs universally proves them the basest impostors, and declares that intercessors were perfectly useless, where philosophical science was established by Deity to disclose all these principles. Undeveloped mind of ancient priestocracies caused all the error for an ignorant people.

Having no claim whatever above creation with communication of Deity, the whole power of intercession, with all its worldly machinery of speculation, is flagitiously fraudulent, and necessarily surrenders to mind that asserts its own birth-claims, all its best rights, titles and emoluments, that had been usurped and monopolized.

The false position of intercession can never be available one iota, but produces evil, as it detracts every moment from the legitimate proprietor most blasphemously.

The world has been outrageously imposed upon for thousands of years, by various editions of peculiar faith, and worship, and messiahships, all to create pretended divine rights of monarchs' and priests' union of state and church, all of whom conspired against the liberties of the people as long as they could impose on mind, that can put an end to all this atrocious and abominable fraud.

The value of mind in its glorious rectitude, is conspicuous for its own pre-eminent and virtuous independence. Mind commits blasphemy in ascribing as tradition the corrupt policy of men any such earthly action of deity, who operates through principles, his attributes, that gainsay most effectually before all rational tribunals, all traditions, and messiahships of bibles.

Faith contradicts reason, all sound, honest, common and proper sense, when it invokes any aid, for a being eternal and almighty, who is above all conception of aid, and equal to all demands of creation. Any other position is most impious, and impeaches the supreme as destitute necessarily of his attributes, and reduces him below the standard of omnipotence, and the character of God unworthy of mind.

The same contradiction applies in full force and virtue, to any permission or inability to prevent any corruption in God's immediate presence, of any worthy or holy being under his charge at that or any future time.

Worst of all, such faith renders the creator imbecile, his supreme attributes and func

tions worthless, and his principles most refractory and disobedient to their Creator! There can be no religion but what is rational, for that embraces the operations of mind in good faith, that necessarily excludes all Messiahship.

God's omnipotence excludes any peculiarity of assistance, for his imbecility in one iota implies a universal deficiency, and the earthly residence of any being necessarily confines his operations peculiarily to earth, and excludes them universally, and establishes imbecility for both, and incapacity to preserve the universal organization.

If the residence of more than thirty years was necessary to constitute an incipient Messiahship in one sphere, the labors of such an intercessor must be employed for exhaustless time, granting the universe to be exhaustless, and consequently leave no time for enjoyment of the bible heaven. The center of the universe will be unapproached, by such imbecile. But the universe gives no proof, that its Almighty creator is inadequate to the functions, attributes and principles of its government. All the assertions of the priestocracy to the contrary, will be fruitless, as they cannot prove any in the face of a confronting universe.

No messiahship can be God's but what is universal to time, matter and mind, that must universally and clearly to its full satisfaction recognise it.

No mind would be left in doubt by God, when needing the true confidence of faith, if any messiahship had been intended for all minds capable of reason, that sees God's gifts universal, not peculiar in any respect or with any exception, but in degree.

The construction of mind causes it to recognise universal truths by reason, consequently as well any true knowledge of messiahship; that when peculiar faith tradition is merely proposed, the proposition involves the false pretences of man originating peculiarity of faith.

The peculiarity of all messiahships in portions of time, space and mind, universally will condemn them forever, as unworthy the attention and respect of mind, that if rational, must be certain, that their necessity is perpetual and should be ever present in ratio to God's imbecility.

All tradition by bibles presents all messiahships confined to time, space, and executed by mortals, that universally betray themselves, and are therefore inadequate for any universal mission.

On this primary and only rational view, where are the messiahships' benefits to the billions of created minds in the whole world, anterior to these messiahships for thousands and thousands of years, cotemporaneous with them in the largest part of the world, or space which they never even visited, much less converted, embraced or saved, and subsequent to them in all time and space, not filled from the necessary defect of their character, the contempt necessarily arising in enlightened mind, in respect to their intrinsic mission deemed worthless and unnecessary, that usurps God's prerogatives, and impiously blasphemes his holy attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, purity and perfection !

Messiahships were originated and appropriated, that such originators might get the ascendency and the peculiar benefit, as being the peculiar priests of this peculiar the only saving faith. Their oracle was the greatest. Who, or what can be the intercessor, messiah or vicegerent?

All such according to the proper meaning of language, however liberal the construction, can never overcome the primary and paramount difficulty of created beings.

All created beings are more or less equal, and can never attain to more than a certain dependent relation to their creator, whose omniscience and immutability prevent any messiahship; and none can be available from created beings-all persons born on earth are created-God's function is creation, not procreation. Surely there is an end to such idea at once. Any assumptions of messiahship, imply contradiction and imposition. It is utterly impossible to procure a universal and primary character, short of the creator. All others must be impotent and useless, necessarily counterfeit and spurious. No tradition or history can be correct that contradicts the light of mind, that is always addressed through reason. What good will partial mortal intercessors avail?

The very attempt utterly condemns and impeaches all engaged as principals, believers, or seconds, of vile blasphemy, and themselves most needing repentance by such highest crime.

Mind needs no messiah assertor of opinions, but God's principles themselves, no deputy but the principal, no creature mortal, but the immortal creator, and above all, it needs the full code that reason gives.

All mankind have universally and fully, a conservative influence of the magnificent principles of the Almighty, that will surely work out their future good, if their cultivation be directed aright to promote an enlightened and correct conscience.

Parents do their whole practicable duty, in teaching their children proper principles

that will do the whole good, and the work of their creator, who uses universal means. Such position prepares best for accountability, and its day of judgment is not that deferred last great day with the wise minds, for such day is the present, now and forever, to create a wiser future.

All missions from God are to and through mind, the only avenue, all others are pretended, otherwise, all honorable and intelligent cultivated minds must become indifferent instead of active, in a fund of life, interesting to all if properly instituted.

All creation is the Almighty's by the best of all rights, the right of his own genius; and the creation implies constant obligation of preservation.

None then can pretend to appropriate it, in part or attributes. If so, then the universe is divided, and the creator is imbecile and imperfect.

The universe can only be taken by usurpation or monopoly, and the invader to think of it, the most that could be done, would be base and unworthy.

The universe would rebuke the blasphemous wretch from its presence. If deity yield it, he yields up his characteristic as God, and becomes imbecile, all which selfimpeaches the mind so stupid to conceive any such absurdity. The universe in its eternal harmony, rebukes all this as impious.

All look upon the pretensions of a private soldier to command, as an usurpation, when asked for his authority, to sneak behind the pretences of faith, which means you must believe implicitly his assertion, or as an absurdity to assume mystery, which means you must not ask that question!

What other just question than to prove his authority official, can all wise minds ever ask then, as they all are equally interested and have the right, duty and highest functional obligation as the beneficiary, if benefit accrue, but the miserable dupe if imposition and fraud be practiced.

Shall censure arise if their minds, constituted by the creator, cannot be satisfied with any thing less than his unity and attributes, and are they to be silenced by the impostor bibles of tradition that deceive the people'

Surely it cannot be in a righteous and just God's character, to add penalty upon his pure and upright adherents that seek to be consistent with most conscientious scruples, who look upon him exclusively as their God, because he is the creator of them all, for the pretences of impostors and condemned therefor, not for the demerits of the persons. All such exposures of the priesthood should be made rightly, and at the right time at once, to prevent mind from being unfortunately kept back from its rightful duty, and the right employment of its talents and man's vital time.

Let mind be spared the delusion and imposition of priestcraft the world over, under all its forms and machinations!

This whole subject is to be met with the proper spirit and candor of immortal minds, who should investigate all the facts of their rights and existence, not with subtle sophistry, and fanatical bigotry.

He who skulks this vital question in mock dignity, under pretences of mystery and of peculiar faith not to be reasoned on, but to be blindly admitted, or by abuse of monotheism, is unworthy the gift of mind, and the name of a reasonable being, boasting of the gift of an immortal or rational mind, is unworthy of the countenance of a man whose dignity he violates; is unworthy the respect of mind, as he violates all its best attributes.

Convince the world on the proper bulwarks of truth, and conquest is not only sure but universal, not only safe but triumphant, not alone of the weak for popularity of the cause advocated, not only of the credulous and timid worshippers of the day, but of the wise and sincere, the virtuous and trustworthy; men of mind that can rightly decide when facts are presented properly to them, not for a moment or day of gorgeous mortal power, but for mind and its glorious eternal happiness.

The comprehension of the creation involves absolutely all the universe, to which alone the Creator is responsible, and competent as a perfect Creator, an idea that at once excludes any other character of any world that is so small a part of that universe, and man as part of that universe can only resolve his safety through the Creator, who scans and preserves all as they merit. In this after thought of messiahships and bibles of tradition, antagonistical to God's attributes of Omniscience, how is salvation of the immense mass of human beings preceding that gospel and messiahship to be secured?

How is that of all absent from its teaching, past, present, and future, the greatest majority all the time to be attained? Do you answer as to the first question, that the Jews had the prophets before Christ? That does not apply even to them, as those prophets were false-unquestionably perjured. But what had the other nations of the world, who knew not the Jews, much less Judaism? Did the Jews dispense the proper

blessings of mind, when they slaughtered the possessors of the soil without seeking to convince them of the errors of their peculiar faith?

Were these nations sensible of their wrong knowingly, when they were butchered by their savage invaders? Was that religion the highest duty to the Creator of the universe, when it was the worst of its reverses?

All these questions are answered at once, for all creation, in the gospel standard, libel of God!

That the word of God, that libels his own attributes, that divides his government, and divests him of two-thirds of his exclusive Omnipotence!

Let the tyrant botches of the world, look at their own picture.

Can any good citizen estimate the character of an intruder into his rightful and sacred possessions, no matter how artfully he pretends to proper copartnership, in any other light but a base enemy?

None but a person most stupid or most base, can otherwise estimate it.

Of all the opponents of God's universe, there cannot be found in the annals of time and the world, a creed more effectual to usurp God's rights.

Who can wonder at the pernicious results to mind?

Why was the dramatized Christ killed? Humanly speaking, from the state of the times that created intolerance of faith, that did not accord with the interest of the party in power, engendering, as always, cruelty and barbarity, these assuming superior piety and an orthodox faith, avenged the blasphemy, however false or just that piety, and however short of just views of Deity, as Judaism no more than christianity is rational religion.

Did Christ know the character of Judas? It is assumed that he did. If Christ as described knew the character of Judas, why did he associate and suffer his disciples to associate with such a degraded being, as such character corrupts morals? But even this important view, yields to one paramount. This was the very character he came to save-the chief of sinners, but he utterly failed to convert him!

This one point effectually destroys his pretensions to full messiahship, for as is asserted, if Christ were God, and all things are possible with God, he would have saved him surely and certainly. But then it is replied, that it was necessary that Christ should be betrayed and killed-that an effusion of blood should take place. This is worse and worse quagmire of sophistry. A bloody murder had to ensue, and that foreordained, proves imbecility and outrageous crime somewhere. As God is perfect, it proves it with man surely. As it denotes blasphemy, and is clear that it cannot be with God, it must be with anti-god. But the elect only could be saved, is the doctrine. That proves injustice, as God is just, it throws it back on man, ignorant man, to say the least, if not wicked. If the bloody murder were necessary, then Judas is necessarily absolved from responsibility, for he is not a free but a forced agent, as all biblemonk-creations. There it is again, the full sophistry of the priestocracy. All can be viewed in no other light, than a human transaction, that human as it is, admits predestination, no self agency, and excludes mind's responsibility, the greatest demoralization subversive of society.

Who does not abhor to see an attempt to impose on the minds of mankind and defraud them of their faith, in way most horrible, worse than their treachery of Judas?

Liberal toleration of mind acquits for the thousandth time the good meaning of all peculiar faith followers, who are good in despite of, not by them. But why do the good of all such refuse the true rational faith, and thereby abjure all the good, and increase beyond appreciation the evil?

How often, times without number, do the spiritualists doubt, demur and abjure most conscientiously the faith in messiahships, and reject all such as impracticable, because deceptive?

But who ever heard of a pure rational religionist, rejecting a deliberate conviction on this subject? Will such resign his God? That is impossible. The world will come to this fixed fact.

But where will be the present professors before God's tribunal, if Christ with the other messiahs and prophets of the world, are usurpers and impostors ?

God requires no prime minister. He acts his own premier, as none but his conservative principles can do his bidding under his present regime and organization.

If messiah-mongers should decree a different one, there is no doubt but that their god will act if they establish it.

Pull down the gap for messiahs, and innumerable hosts will enter along with their prime ministers, the whole corrupt family of paganism.

Let no mortal born of a woman be worshipped as a god, being necessarily excluded

by reason that excludes atheism, and all the sophisticated insidious pretences of polytheism.

The whole plot and contrivance about God's vicegerentships, are absurd, and wind themselves up directly by their imbecility, if not previously blown up for their horrid and vulgar blasphemy.

Those who are concerned, for who is exempt, should recollect the impossibility from the nature of God's creation, for any creature ever usurping or monopolizing God's mighty attributes, without the most disastrous consequences, as has been most plainly proved already by the inextricable difficulties attendant on past and present crimes, and their enormous world wide penalties?

The ancients attempted it in their myths, but wisely saw the fact under the fable of Phaeton driving the chariot of the sun and setting the world'on fire!

What better evidence do we want that nothing but true faith, and its happy prerogatives of universal peace and best results, can stand without failure, than the present order of things, that creates a wider breach among the nations of the earth? Can anything be worse than messiahships and their engendered peculiar faiths? What worldevil is greater ?

But for the conservative light of God-science, mind and reason, this confusion would be worse confounded.

The world most of man's age has had the unavailing peculiar faiths, under those who assumed to wear the holy mantle of God, to represent him as vicegerents, claiming extraordinary powers as princes of peace, yet failing necessarily from inherent elements that analysis discloses as necessarily defective, no matter how high the vice functionaries of even absolutism commanding kings, thrones and principalities. There is a world fanaticism in all this, clearly not of religion, that is consecrated by principles above despotism.

The god of all such is made a murderer by bristling bayonets, but such is not the true God, who needs no implements of warfare, to corrupt and murder the world's citizens. The faith in the God of the universe rests on incontrovertible grounds, the sublimest position of unity.

All faiths in messiahships beg the question, and rest on not only ever controvertible but untenable basis.

False pretences and sophistry are ever abundantly brought forth, that the people are incompetent for life rights and duty, the very purpose of their creation!

That is, if analysis speaks, that they are for a period incompetent to counteract the evil designs of most seeking to exhaust the people's rights and treasures, is meant. A new science has arisen, thanks to the almighty organizer of the universe and mind, that bestows the science of the people's protection against all false governments.

We wish to start right, and hold to the substantial means, and surely we have the best earnest in the author of our existence. We have no other, and of course desire no pagan.

The conservation of the universe depends on principles; how then can this or any other sphere be benefited by any messiahship that excludes those very principles? This position is contradictory and suicidal to its ruin.

Shall the very author of self-preservation of the universe be libeled by his creature, man, in his little sphere world, in his little bibles? What little business!

Mind, thou wast not present in thy majestic greatness; reason, thou didst not preside at the sanction of credulity, for mind and reason were never, when allied, rebels to their God, much less libelers.

The author of the self-preservation of the universe, need a messiah for one little sphere! Then, he needed a guardian for himself and could not be even a god.

The thought is so very small, my mind, constituted as it is, cannot grasp it. The very exclusion of perfection of God, annihilates the whole perjury.

God could not delegate any of his attributes, that would unavoidably be abused. What could messiahship do in a work elaborated by a perfect God? Let wiseacres answer; for wise men cannot imagine in the honesty of their minds. This petty dwarfage can only be understood by pusillanimous priestocracy.

The majority of the wise do not accept any messiahs, whom they must consider degraded impostors, without the least respect or claim of respect from mind.

Away, then, with all false and impious doctrines, that enslave and demoralize the mind.

No wise rational being relies on botches, when he can secure the divine architect, who has presented master-means and embellished master-work with principles well calculated to suit all natures, to rear in the place of these chaste and pure fabrics, dilapidating structures made by mortal hands.
