Bryau in all branches of advancement and the possibilities of what a
chamber of commerce means to Bastrop.
Mr Eberstadt is a livewire, fuli of energy and wide awake to
his calling, his presence here showed very positively that "Bryan''

ing places in which to worship
an imaginary Deity of God and
the • are not ab>e to contribute
much toward th^ pay and main-
tenance of the preachers, pastors
' and priests. The preachers
preach for those who keep them
up. If they did not they would
soon be out of a job. The thing
called society owns and controls
most of the churches. Society
prescribes certain qualifications
for its members— tirst, tbev
must have money, second, a cer-
tain degree of so-called refine-
ment: fourth, hypocrisy and
brass sufficient to cover up and
k«ep tlieii immorality hid under
the guise of religion- Such quai
Itications as these, with many
others, the poor do uot possess:
the struggle for existence keeps
them busy from tho cradle to
the grave. The inability to lie in
German aud French, to discuss
the latest opera, the new walte,
the last divorce, to put, on the
latest styles of finest fabrics,
loads of diamonds, etc , bars the
poor from the thing called so-
ciety and from the churches.
There is no place for calico dress
es and sunburnt hands in so-
ciety, therefore no place in tlta
churches. Diamonds and sun-
burns do not mix. Silks and cot
ion checks will uot associate ex-
cept upon the basis of charity.
Justice is blind, deaf and dumb.
The preachers dare not preach
justice, were they so inclined.
Religion and so-called Christian-
ity is a sham and a fraud, that is
the reason the pulpit throughout
Christendom does not take up
the cause of the poor and op~
oressed masses against the in-
justice of the rich and powerful.

P. S—Politically I am a Jeffer
sonian Democrat; therefore I
am a Christian. Jesus Christ
was a democrat. He taught de-
mocracy pure and simple. Some
people seem to think that I com
mit blasphemy in claiming that
Christ's teachirg and doctrine is
Democracy. Christ was no more
a God than you or I. He is the
Son of God in the same manner
and sense that we all i re tho
sons of God. I believed this long
before I ever heard of spiritual
ism.
