PREFACE.
So LONG as fear rules the heart ; so long as snper- stition controls men's actions ; so long as imagina- tion creates a god of horror who rules with despotic tyranny ; so long as ignorance can be made to be- lieve that the preacher or priest is in some way a go-between or agent between man and the powers in the clouds, that lie is a sky-pilot, directly com- missioned by deity to attend to God's affairs on earth, and that the priest's person and office are sacred ; just so long and no longer will there be possible such a useless class of men as the modern priesthood.
And if these preachers as a class are more crimi- nal than any other class of people ; if they are so without the excuse of want or ignorance — without reason other than because of their lazy lives and false creeds — then their followers cannot learn that fact too soon.
The first edition of this book was printed in 1881, since which time many thousands of copies have been scattered throughout the country ; but in no sase to our knowledge has anyone successfully de- nied the facts alleged against any " man of God '* figuring in these pages. Its substantial accuracy is therefore assured. The only charge that can be maintained against it is its incompleteness. The pub*

lishers do not claim to have discovered more than a
small percentage of clerical villainy. The churches endeavor to and do hide a great deal of the immor- ality of their ministers. The preachers, who gov- ern the ecclesiastical tribunals, have a fellow feeling for one another. As a general thing, it is only when the clergy are brought before the secular courts that the public can learn the full facts. Comparatively few Catholic priests figure in this record, for the reason that that church is a close corporation which by political influence and by bulldozing its victims can conceal the crimes of its leaders. In all large cities of the country the Catholic church has a large and dangerous political influence, and its priests go almost free of retribution for their vices and crimes. The judges are Catholics, or owe their positions to Catholic power ; the court officers are Catholics ; the policemen are Catholics. They all shield the "fathers." It is impossible, too, for the Editor to read all the papers and gather all the cases which do see the light of publicity. And, we are sorry to say, even the secular journals suppress the news as to clerical scoundrelism. But if the country could be scanned closely the indications are that a hun- dred times as many crimes could be found right- fully charged to the men who set themselves up as teachers of morals and bright and shining beacons on the path to heaven. For use in future editions we therefore urge all who read these pages to send us accounts of such cases as may come to their notice. Give facts, dates, and localities, and if clip- pings from newspapers are sent us, give name, date, and place of publication of paper.
PBEFAOE. Tii
It has been said by some apologists of the sys- tem of religion in vogue in this country that the clerical delinquencies prove nothing against the sys- tem. In this they are mistaken. Of course, if Christianity had a foundation of fact, these records would not prove that the fact is not there. What they do prove, however, is that the claim made for Christianity that it makes men moral, is not true. For if the system is not sufficient to restrain its very teachers, how can we expect their pupils to profit bv it ? The point this book emphasizes, as an ex- Methodist miiiiBter. now a Rationalist, but always a moral man, forcibly puts it, is that religion, in and of itself, is not a moral force ; that it is not one with morality ; that it may, and often does, exist without morality, and that morality gains nothing by being associated with it. In proportion to their numbers, more ministers than members of any other profes- sion commit crimes or yield to vice. A large portion of these crimes are against women or with women. This, perhaps, is not strange when one considers the habit of pastoral visiting. When men are away from home attending to their duties in life, the minister is loafing about, looking after the welfare of his flock, pretendedly, but really making calls upon the women who most attract him. He thinks a little prayer or a talk upon religion will help them from their sins, and it is a matter of comment that the prettiest and freest of them are the greatest sinners, and their conversion of the most importance. What the confessional is to the Roman Catholic church, such is the " pastoral visit " to the Protestant church. Women should not attend the one or re-
Tiii PBEFACEL
ceive the otlier except in the presence of their fath*
ers or husbands. Another institution of the charch should also be done away with — the lone studies for the minister annexed to the churches. These fur- nished rooms are the scenes of many crimes. With them, too, should go the side doors or choir en- trances. Only a short time ago the side door and study of a church in S;m Francisco were used for assignation purposes, which culminated in murder. About the same time, too, a murdered woman was found at the confessional box of a Romish church in New York city. These side doors, secluded " stud- ies," and secret confessional boxes are more dan- gerous to virtue if not to life than the side doors to saloons, which the ministers denounce so roundly.
In compiling this little history of ministerial con- duct, lack of perfect identity is sometimes unavoida- ble, for in the reports of these trials in the secular journals it has been customary to drop the first names of the defendants, and many a pious villain is recorded as " the reverend Mr. Smith," or *' the reverend Mr. Jones." In some cases the place was not fully given where the crime was committed. In some instances the offense is given the laconic name applied by the ecclesiastical court which tried the criminal, as "immoral conduct," "lascivious con- duct," etc.; names given to hide the grossness of the offense, and to screen the reverend scoundrel in the interest of the church and the ministers. In many reports of trials by ecclesiastical gatherings the name is entirely suppressed, as is supposed, out of respect for the "sacred calling" of the accused.
The denomination to which the " pious soul " be-
KiEFAOB. Ie
longed, is not given in some instances, consequently
this record will not do to rely upon to enable the
reader to ascertaiu what branch of " the church o£ God " has shown the most efficiency in pastoral criminality.
Letters will be found placed after a name, as P. B-. for presiding elder, Ev. for Evangelist ; for instance . Carhart, Kev. J. W., P. E., and Bayliss, Eev. E. L^ Ev. The D.D., Ph.D., LL.D., and other addend* purchased of colleges and theological semmarieft have not been preserved with any great care. Il any reverend gentleman feels aggrieved by the omis- sion, and will send to the publisher the certificate of the warden of the state prison where he is con- fined, to the effect that he is entitled to snch & distinction, the same shall be added in the next edi- tion of " Crimes of Preachers."
If any who have been overlooked, and so left o\& of this " illustrious category," desire the distinction of having their names made famous, they will please forward the facts, certified by some responsible per- son, to this office, and they shall not go away hiUH gry.

Can it be possible that the most orthodox are the most criminal, and vice versa ? Are men nearer pure
70 CRIMES OF PRKACHBRa
as regards crime ^he further they get from the ortho- dox belief? It seems so. Of this list of crimes, there are 670 felonies. Of the definitions or distinctive names given to the various offenses 33 are names given by the several church courts where the reverend scoundrel was tried, perhaps with a view to hide the real offense, of course in the interests of religion. There were a great number of these, but by diligent inquiry the compiler has been able to ascertain gener- ally that "unchaste conduct" meant a gross and beastly assault by the "divine messenger " upon and against a lady's chastity; and that " unministerial conduct" meant either adultery, rape or seduction committed against some susceptible sister who had confided in the lecherous "sky-pilot." Whenever the true state of facts were ascertained, the crime was set down by its right name.
The author has a large list of crimes, published within the last five years, committed by these rev- erend gentry, where the name of the reverend is not given. Could the name be ascertained, the above ist would be largely increased. It is presumed the names were suppressed out of respect to the "sacred office " of the clerical scoundrels.
These data are almost entirely taken from a belt of the United States between Canada and North Caro- lina ; almost all from Canada to Maryland, and from the Atlantic to the Western plains — that is, from the great "intellectual belt" of the nation, where most of the great secular and religious journals are published, and a section of the greatest mental and physical activity and of the greatest wealth. This " belt" com-

prises not one-fourth of our area and not one-half of our population.
There are in the United States about seventy thou- sand priests and preachers ; these data are drawn from about thirty five thousand.
It is safe to say that not one-half of the published accounts of preachers' crimes have been seen and the account preserved by the author.
Eminent writers on crime estimate that but one crime out of sixteen is detected and traced to the criminal. There is no probability that half of those which are ascertained are ever published, even when there is no superstitious excuse for keeping it from the public.
All these suggestions then assist the reader at arriv- ing at a correct estimate as to the amount of crimi- nality which exists among our "guides to holiness." For instance, if 35,000 preachers in the "intellectual bell" of the United States commit 917 crimes in five years, 70.000 preachers in the whole United States commit 1,834 crimes; if the author has collected but one-half of the number published, then 70.000 preach- ers have committed 3,668 in five years; if but one crime out of sixteen is traced to the criminal, then the 70.000 preachers have committed 29,3-14 in the United States in the last five years ; and even that list must be again doubled if but one-half of the instances of discovered crime are published.
Let any one bring his own knowledge of circum- stances to bear upon this subject. Could the most careful research discover and compile more than a moiety of the crime committed ? Of the crime com-

mitted in our great cities, how much sees the public prints ? Of the drunkenness and debauchery so openly and commonly committed in one large city, how much is published? And you must recollect that the preacher hides his crimes carefully, and his compeers and parishioners assist him to conceal it ; while the night-brawler, petty thief, and drunken wretch are un- der police surveillance.
Is there not food for thought here ? Is it not time the eye of the legislator, the magistrate, the police- man, the detective, the parent, the public, was turned toward this cesspool of pollution ? Is it not time the journalist published his note of warning ? Is it not time to investigate without superstition, without fear, without favor, and expose and punish without mercy the men, who, having no excuse of want, of friendli- ness, of homelessness, of want of confidence, who assume to be the very elite of society and the very elect of God, commit more crime as a class than ten times their number in any other class of society, than even the most poverty-stricken, famished, houseless, home- less, friendless, ignorant, degraded, imbecile or idiotic class of the human family?
The commission of crime depends — first, upon the criminal desire of the felon; second, upon the incen- tive ; third, upon the opportunity to commit the crime.
As to the first, the foregoing record shows that the desire to commit crime is greater in this class of per- sons than in any other. With a full knowledge of our civil, criminal, and moral cede these gentry know- ingly, wickedly, and wilfully commit more crime than
CRIMES OF PREACHERS. 73
ten times thirty their number in any other class of peopb. Nor can the plea that the crime was the re- sult of ignorance be interposed with them, as it can be in nearly one-half of the cases where crime is com- mitted by the illiterate and foolish. Then the fact that of these 917 crimes committed by these "minis- ters of God," 537 have been committed against wo- men, 456 against the morality, chastity, and decency of vromen, certainly evinces a criminal desire among these 35,000 " holy men " unparalleled in any other class of men.
Second — as to the incentive, our theory is this: Among the illiterate, ignorant, and semi-idiotic classes there is an almost entire belief in the gods, devils, sa- viors, redeemers, and saints which the priesthood have invented, and in their heaven and hell, offered as a bribe and terror to the evil-doer. Although these bribes and terrors do not in the main elevate and en- noble mankind, yet to some extent they have re- stramed crime in the unlettered and imbecile classes, through superstitious fear. On the other hand, the "divine teachers" of these dogmas generally have no belief therein ; and being accustomed to obtaining fat livings, gorgeous attire, lives of ease and indolence, and unmerited confidence and adulation from their dupes, it becomes like second nature to them to gratify every lust, desire, passion, prejudice, hate, covetous- ness, and ambition. Generally, well knowing that the creeds thev teach are false, they come to look upon all legal and moral restraint as an abridgement of their rights, and uj)on all morality and virtue as a sham. Of course there are those among them who have
74 CRIMES OF PREACHERS.
learned but little of anything, and that little only what would confirm their superstitious fears and hopes, who have never allowed themselves to invest!- gata the truth, and who have given a blind, unreason- ing adherence to the doctrines of salvation through the atonement. These firmly believe that they can escape the just i-eward of their evil deeds by means ol that "scapegoat;" can avoid the penalty for crime and again become "pure" througli the great " bankrupt court" ot "remission of sins." This branch of the tribe of " sky-pilots " are even more dangerous than the hypocritical ones. Once fully convince a man that he can by a "death-bed repentance" "shove by justice " and in nine cases out of ten he will commit any crime as fearlessly as does the wild Malay, who rushes amuck through the streets with his gleaming knife cuttiiig down his fellows on every hand until he too is struck down, firmly believing that when he is killed his soul will at once ascend to paradise. Ac- cordingly, the honest divine falls into temptation and gets up besmirched with crime ; at once falls upon his knees, receives the holy " unction " and gets up "washed white as snow."
Third — as to the opportunity to commit crime, the " servant of God " has much the advantage of the serv- ant of toil. He is to some extent entrusted with money because of his " holy orders." He is generally tolerated everywhere because of his " sanctity." He becomes the instructor of youth by virtue of his "nearness to God." He recommends persons to places of trust by virtue of his position as their pastor. He recommends Mrs. Winslow's snoozing syrup by virtue
CRIMES OF PREACHERa
of his experience as a " child of immortality " (of course he never takes pay for such services). He as- sumes to introduce himself to anyone and anywhere, even to a ludy stranger, insisting upon taking her by the hand as a " messenger from Jesus," a familiarity she would resent on the part of an honest tiller of tho soil. He enters our homes without invitation and while a stranger, and volunteers advice upon all earthly subjects of which he knows but little, and upon all heavenly subjects, of which he knows nothing.
The assumed position of a preacher as a "spiritual adviser" peculiarly places him in a position to commit crimes against morality, chastity, and decency. The danger of "pastoral visits," so strikingly exemplified in the Beecher-Tilton scandal, has become almost im- minent. During the middle ages, in Switzerland and other countries, a new priest could not hear the pri- vate confession of females until he had selected and kept one or m.ore mistresses ; but even such a salutary provision would hardly have sufficed to keep some of the gentlemen of our list within bounds.
The lazy, overfed life led by most of our clergy superinduces lust, and the chances they have are shown to have been largely improved ; over 400 cases of beastly lechery out of 917 cases of crime exempli- fies the fact
The ratio of crime in our general population is 8.1 in 1,000, including the clergy. This list shows 29 crimes committed by each 1,000 "sky-pilots," and these only so far as we have collected them from the printed reports; if but half have been collected, there have been 58 crimes committed by each 1,000 preach*
78 CRIMES or PREACHERS.
ers in the last five years; if but one crime in sixteen has been published, there have been 928 crimes com- mitted by each 1,000 preachers in the "intellectual belt" of these United States. The only question is, do clergymen conceal their criminality as effectuallj as do other criminals.
These data are taken exclusively from accounts pub- lished in newspapers. The abbreviation became neces- sary on account of the multitude of priestly villains. Some of the details are shocking. We have preserved the printed report and can furnish the same to in' quirers.
The ratio of criminals in American population is 2.7 to the 1,000, including the clergy. The above list shows that out of 35 000 preachers 477 are criminals, or 13.3 to the 1,000. Making the same allowances as before, for want of data, the number becomes 26.6 to the 1,000 ; and if but one crime out of sixteen is dis- covered in this amply protected and shielded class, then out of every 1,000 " ministers of the most high" 425 are criminals, as against 176 to the 1,000 in all classes, including the preachers, measured by the same rule as to discovery, etc.
Now, although we know that there are many clergy- men who are good and honest men, and who consci- entiously teach the mythology of Christianity and are earnestly striving to benefit mankind, yet the convic- tion is forced upon us that as a class they are the most hypocritical and criminal class of men; that their knowledge that then- .^savior is a fabled myth, com- mon to religious enthusiasts in all ages and all lands, and that they obtain their fat livings solely on account
CRIMES OF PREACHERS. 77
of the ignorance and superstition of their dupes, makes them^er se criminally inclined.
Christian, how do you like this showing ? " Man of God," what have you got to offer? This is rather a new departure, is it not? What are you going to do about it? It will do little good to sigh for the good old days when Christianity ruled supreme, when you could at once invoke the aid of the axe, rack, the stake, the fagot, the thumbscrew, the iron boot, and the tongues of fire. The ghost of the murdered past will not answer your call. Thanks to the advance of Free- thought and to the legislative care of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, and other Infidel compeers, there is a bound set to your despotic sway. What can you do? Of course you can beseech an all-merciful deity to burn the author forever hereafter ; but as he seems willing to take the chances of the hereafter, and as your faith in that divine institution called hell has of late been fearfully shaken — thanks to the humanizing efforts of Infidels which has in a measure civilized your creed and stripped your God of half of the horrible attributes you had given him — even that sweet solace is hardly commensurate for the occasion. Then what can you do? Why, it is terrible to know that any one dares hunt up and classify and publish to the world the crimes committed by the reverend "followers of the meek and lowly Jesus !" It has al- ways been an exclusive right belonging to the priest- hood to charge all crime upon Infidels; to assert from every " coward's castle " in the land that but for un- belief in the cleansing power of the blood of a person who they claim died some eighteen hundred and forty ■

eight years ago there would be no sin, no crime. It is a rather strange experience to have the tables turned, and to have an expose that shows a fearful balance of crime against those who so earnestly believe and teach the all-potent curative and preventive proper- ties of the aforesaid blood.
Again we ask, what will the privileged class do about it? And, being a Yankee, allow us to answer our own question. We have no way to judge of the future but by the past. In the past these brassy gen- try, with solemn-visaged falsehood, have from every coward's castle in Christendom answered all the argu- ments, facts, and figures adduced by skeptics by ma- ligning the character of the reasoner or mathemati. cian, especially if dead. " Unworthy to blacken the shoes of their opponont, they blackened his charac. ter." All this being more congenial to the taste of the ordinary follower of the meek and lowly Jesus than fair investigation and candid argument.
With the ghoulishnessof hyenas they have dug into the grave of Thomas Paine, and covered the honored dust of the noble and defenseless dead with cesspool filth, calumny, falsehood, vituperation, hatred, and slander.
" In the arsenal of the church, which once bristled with magazines of destruction, there remains but one weapon — slander." Col. Ingersoll will one day be served as was Thomas Paine, for uttering such a thought. " Once a donkey kicked a lion. The lion was dead.^
This, then, is what will be done. From every pul- pit will belch a stream of slander to hide by the cry of
CRIMES OF PREACHERS. 79
"Stop thief!" the reverend purloiner of female virtue, the ravisher of children, the murderer of wife and children, the beater of helpless women and babes, and the "meek follower of Jesus," who whipped his three- year-old boy to death for not correctly saying the "Lord's Prayer."
"Well, after all this is done, will that establish the innocence of the murderer of Mary Stannard — of the seducer of Mrs. Tilton? Will that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that ministers never commit crime? No! but the "galled jade winces " just the same, and he whose corns are trod upon is apt to cry out.
The reason for this exDose is apparent. For ages all crime has been charged to Infidelity. Once it was a brave man who dared announce disbelief in the myths of Christianity. " To him who had braved the church every door was shut, every knife was open." Even in our day it was to be shunned as a pest and to be ostracized from society to announce a disbelief in the "immaculate conception." From every pulpit the skeptics were charged with all the crime that darkens the face of civilization. Rev. B L. Bayliss — now, un- fortunately for him. languishing in the penitentiary of Michigan for seduction of Brother Phenix's wife and eloping with her, deserting his wife and children — while "evangelizing" in the Baptist church at Waver, ly, Iowa, invited all skeptics to come and hear his convincing arguments against Infidelity ! Many came^ The buffoon took for his text " Let him that is unholy be unholy still, and him that is filthy be filthy still," and poured a tirade of abuse upon ladies and gentle- men of the best society. He said : " Let them alone ;
80 CRIMES OF PREACHERS.
come out from them. From skeptics comes all the crime that darkens the face of civilization." The skeptics were convinced that he was a cowardly slan- derer, and arose and left, leaving him empty benches to talk to. He can hardly claim that the short time he remained so contaminated him that he shortly afterward had to expiate it in state prison.
Allow us, then, to make the following ofier : There are of Freethinkers — including Atheists, Infidels, Spiritualists, etc. — about seven millions in the United States ; there are about seventy thousand priests and preachers. Now, we make the following offer : We we will give ten dollars apiece for crimes committed by any of these classes of Freethinkers within the last five years, and will take tha report thereof as pub- lished in the newspapers ; provided, the preachers will give us one dollar apiece for the same evidence of crimes committed by reverends. Thus we offer ten dollars for one, and give them seven millions to draw their data from while we have but seventy thousand.
In the language of the far West, " Put up or shut upr
The author will continue to publish these records from year to year. Will friends be bo kind as to clip from papers such items, together with name and date of the paper, and send them to us for insertion in fut- ure editions ?
If a wrong has been done by inserting a name in this list which should have been omitted, as where some paper has maliciously published a falsehood against any one, we shall be only too glad to make reparation, our object being to do exact justice to all, without fear or malice.

CRrMES or PREACHEK. 85
The first edition places the Methodist divines at the top of the criminal calendar. They still hold that bad pre-eminence. During the last year 156 of the 202 preachers charged with crime have been assigned to their respective churches: thus, Methodists, 54: Baptists, 32 ; Catholics, 20; Episcopalians, 18; Con- gregationalists, 10 ; Lutherans, 10 ; Presbyterians, 9 ; Campbellites, 2; United Brethren, 2 ; Hebrews, 2; Adventists, 1 ; Universalists, 1. So if the 85,000 holy men have committed 78,000 sexual crimes during the last year, the Methodist preachers have assisted in 24 333 cases, the Baptists in 12,000, the Catholics in 9,000, the Episcopalians in 7,000, the Congregational- ists in 4,500, the Lutherans in 4,500, the Presbyterians in 4,000, the Campbellites 1,000, the United Brethren in 1,000, the Hebrews in 1,000, the Adventists in 500, the Universalists in 500.
Again must we aak. Are men nearer pure the far- ther they eret from orthodoxy, and vice versa?
Then 220 of these crimes charged have been against the morality, chastity, and decency of women! Has the author been able to obtain published accounts of half of those deeds of the dark ? Have the reverend adulterers, seducers, and ravishers been caught and published in one case out of sixteen of that carefully covered crime? If not, and the lecherous men of God have committed but one offense each, then these 35,000 vicegerents of heaven have committed twenty sexual sins per day during the last year! Did each repeat his crime ten times, then the female dupes of the "oily gammjns " have suffered from their beastly lusts to the amount of two hundred instances per day.
86 CBIMES OF PREACHEBS.
Computing at the same ratio wliich statisticians use with other classes of criminals, these 35,000 messen- gers of peace are guilty of 73,000 sexual crimes every year, two for each one of their number every day, in- cluding Sundays. And why not? Have they less opportunity than laborers, mechanics, lawyers, doctors, miners, farmers, traders, merchants, sailors, or other hardy sons of toil? Surely not. Every opportunity is thrown in their way. Women will admit perfect strangers into their houses, into their society, into their confidence, if they but prefix the pompous title Rev- erend" to their names. Few care to even rotice a laborer, sailor, farmer, mechanic, or miner. Yet while computing the criminal statistics the compiler includes as well the noble sons of toil as the priesthood. Who does not know that if so much sexual crime is com- mitted the smooth-tongued wolf in a lamb's pelt has better opportunities than the busy man of useful life, even if nothing be allowed for the indolent lives, highly-seasoned food, and depraved appetites of these lambs of God ?
' And now, after a year spent in waiting, hoping that the previous publication might deter the elect of God from such exhibitions of depravity, we come again to the fore with a new list of 202 criminal preachers in one year, taken, as before, from the northern half of the United States and Canada. Four hundred and forty-seven in five years was a fearful list, unprece- dented in the annals of crime I That made over 89 to the year! But here comes 202 in one year I 16.8 to the month ! 4 each week I more than one every other day ! Sundays included I o ust think, 85,000

educated men, well versed in our civil and moral code, claiming secular holiness, and demanding special privileges because of their good works; committing gross a'ad horrid crimes every other day, even if not one of them repeats his crime— does this so publicly that it is published in the papers. How much done so darkly no one ever knows of it unless it be perhaps a suffering victim. Do they, like the rest of crim- inals, hide fifteen out of sixteen crimes? If so. these 35.000 holy men commit 10 crimes each day ! Has the author yet failed to get more than half of the pub- lished accounts? then these "sky-pilots" commit over 20 crimes every day, including Sundays, even if each commits but one crime in all his life I Bnat these 202 priests and preachers are charged with an aggregate of 500 crimes in the last year, t^our crimes each three days, so far as published I Did the author see but half, then' they have been published as having committed 8 crimes every three days ! Did they hide 15 crimes for everv one published, then they have committed 128 crim^es each three days ! Have the clergy in the northern half of the United States committed 42 heiaous crimes every day during the last year ?

The third edition of "Crimes of Preachers" is thus before the public, with its mass of statistics for the thoughtful to ponder upon. Some attempts have been made to show the author that certain names should be dropped from the list, but careful inquiry has not warranted doing so.
Some object to the estimates of "hidden" crime, as not being the most reliable way of computing; but they give no real reasons.
The basis of computation is varied in this edition, in a perfectly mathematical way, and in no way based upon conjecture.
As before, the crimes charged have been mostly from the Northern States, and from about 35,000 priests and preachers. Now, 35,000 men, after reach-
"OBIMES OF PREACHERS.^ 93
ing maturity, with average health, live about twenty- seven years, on the average. Make some allowance for "parsonitis" with this class, and give an aver- age age to preachers of twenty-five years, after they begin to preach, including "boy preachers." Then this compilation, commenced in 1876, and tne 35,000 priests and preachers then "heralding glad tidings to a dying world," would live twenty-five years, or till 1901 — say 1900 ; the recruits supplying the places of those "killed and wounded," i.e, died and "other- wise accounted for."
Now let us make a different computation to as- certain the amount of crime committed by the tribe of "sky pilots.' If 35,000 preachers have commit- ted 2,000 crimes in seven years, 35,000 clergymen will commit 7,140 in twenty-five years. If but one out of sixteen has had his ofi'ense discovered and published, then 35,000 " guides to holiness" commit one hundred and fourteen thousand crimes in twenty- five years ; and this presuming that the author has collated every instance of published ofi'enses. If half of the "gentlemen of the cloth" are innocent, the other half will be guilty of 228,000 crimes in twenty-five years. But, says one, you are comput- ing upon the basis of the number of crimes charged, not upon the number of criminals. Well, let us compute upon the number of priests and prear-hers charged with crime ; let us see how that would fig' ure. We have 870 names now published in this work during seven years, the data for the first three or four years being very incomplete ; that will be
94 CRIMES or PREACHERS.
3,100 in twenty-five years, on the same ratio. But take the ratio of the last two years, of nearly 200 per year, and the number in twenty-five years will be jive thousand — ascertained and published crimi-' nals, "wearing the livery of heaven!" Only one out of sixteen having been detected and his crime published, this 5,000 must be multiplied by 16, mak- ing 80,000 reverend criminals in twenty-five years ; that is, in the lifetime of thirty-five thousand preachers there loill he eighty thousand criminal preachers f And so notoriously criminal that their names and crimes will be so thoroughly published that an ordinary newspaper reader in a little city in Iowa will see it and preserve the account. Keally, the Bureau of Public Justice (?) should furnish the author with a good corps of clerks to keep this good work going on, so that the people may see just what kind of gentry these are, who assume to write all of our school-books, control our system of education, teach our children at Sunday-schools, deliver the "word of God" from the pulpit, and visit our wives and daughters to see about their "spiritual welfare!" And now, reader, we ask, in all candor, is there anything unfair in the above computation? If so, show us where it is. Facts are stubborn things ; figures won't lie. The preacher has many ways to conceal his fault that the poor laborer has not, be- sides having the greater cunning of education, and the aid of powerful and superstitious friends, none of which is at the service of the poor criminal. And then, of the 2,053 crimes charged against these "followers of Jesus," 1,113 have been committed
CRIMES OF PREACHERS. 95
against women — more than one-half of the crimes! Do ladies as a rule proclaim to newspaper reporters their own shame for the sake of having the parson's crime published? How much of such crime ever really gets before the public eye?
The statistics of crime, including the preachers', show that but about three per cent of all crime committed is against women. Do the ladies always "tell on" the dominie? The philosopher who has the good of posterity at heart may even express a doubt of its having the best of parentage !
There is no denying these facts. The data are open to all. Then this expose should cause even the most bigoted and superstitious to think, and, upon thought, to act.
The assistance of many kind friends, in sending the author papers containing accounts of priestly crime, has made the work much easier and more effective. Will the friends please continue to send items? Please either send the paper entire, with article marked, or cut out item, and name and date of paper, as no names are included in this "illustri- ous" category except where the author preserves the original authority.
The church to which the "pious sinner" belongs is given much more accurately in this edition than before. That "much persecuted," pure-hearted, 'poor sect, the Methodist, still holds pre-eminence in priestly villainy. Of the 191 reverend scoundrels in this third edition who have been accredited to churches, the list stands:

One thing becomes very evident : that in the crim- inal records orthodoxy stands a very unfavorable comparison with heterodoxy. Compared with Ag- nostics, Spiritualists, Infidels, and Atheists, Meth- odism— at least among the reverends — has a very dark and unseemly appearance. Can it be possible that teaching and pretending a belief in the "im- maculate conception," that three times one is one, that a person is his own father, that a ghost pro- ceeded from the father and son both, and was at the same time both that father and son, make men vil- lians^^er se? Do teaching and pretending belief in an impossibility make men wicked? Do teaching and pretending to believe that to be true which is manifestly false, that to be historical fact which is not even a respectable mythological fable, make men into coarae and degraded criminals? It would seem so.
The facts are that a class of men who demand support, confidence, esteem, love, and homage, sim- ply because of some pretended influence they have with the unseen and unknown powers in the skies, will of necessity ccmie to look upon their dupes as their legitimate prey, and to feel agrieved if all their unjust demands are not at once complied with.
98 CEniES OF PEEACHERS.
Anotlier thouglit. A preacher is entirely inca- pacitated for any other occupation. Accustomed to asserting that to be true of which they know noth- ing, and of which they at least have much doubt, or believe to be wholly false, when compelled in other employments to meet competition, even flat contradiction, they are thrown completely off their base. Why, they never knew but one side to a question before, and are completely nonplussed when disputed or called upon to show facts. So, too, a preacher's sons are mostly worthless, and for the same reason. Beggary — call it by what name you will — renders the beggar worthless. Priestcraft is beggary. Priests are the most insolent of men- dicants ! No beggar is so despicable as he who is clothed in shining vestments, the fruit of his trade.
There are honest preachers, but they are also ig- norant. No really educated man can remain a priest- ly drone, unless he does so as a hypocrit. The ed- ucated clergymen all well know that the story of Jesus and his apostles is a myth — a fable common to the whole Aryan race for thousands of years. There is no excuse for any minister remaining ig' norant on this subject. Slight investigation is all that is necessary. If he will not investigate he is a bigot, and jusb as unworthy as his hypocritical coP league.
Many honest preachers are investigating, many are leaving their mendicant's position and boldly announcing to the world their disbelief in the dog- mas of Christian mythology. Bright stand forth the names of Chainey, Miln, Weaver, Newton, Thom-

as, Swing, and scores of others, who have braced the impotent scorn of the church and assumed the garb and mien of freemen. Take the cowardly in- centive of poj^ularify away — and it is fast going — and none will remain priests except the groveling ignoramus and the crafty mountebank. All hail the day when men and women shall live in the live present, not in a dead and rotten past ! — live to build up the cause of king-and-priest ridden humanity, instead of building costly churches and cathedrals, supporting m indolence and crime a horde of priest- ly drones, while the wail of the orphan and the moan of the crushed woman are heard on every hand!
Down with the system that reduces a land to the condition of master and slave, palaces and paupers' huts! Down with the privileged, untaxed class, who have no more manhood than to extort, through superstitious fear, easy living and gorgeous attire from the hardy but ignorant poor ! May the day soon come when any man will feel ashamed to hold out a soft, delicate, bejeweled hand in beg,^ary, to receive alms from a poor woman dressed in rags, elbow-deep in the washtub, and a horde of pinched- faced starvelings clinging to her tattered skirts, cry- ing for a crust.

This work will be issued every year as long as the author can labor. Lovers of their kind will aid in circulating it. The author will be pleased to re- ceive letters from friends in the future as in the past concerning the work. Thousands have written to me, from Maine to the Pacific shore, and from the source of the great Father of Waters to the tropical Everglades. The writers will excuse the author for not answering their good letters; it would require all his time. Receive his hearty thanks and continue to aid him in the good work.
ADDITIONS FOR FOURTH EDITION.
In the following pages the public will find a par- tial list of the crimes which have been charged against the clergy of the United States and Canada since the printing of the previous portions of this book. A recapitulation of these offenses, shocking in its proportions, is appended.
The task of hunting down these rogues and drag- ging forth their villanies to the light is not the most pleasant in the world, but duty calls to many a labor which does not perfectly suit the choice. Certainly no work could be more necessary and beneficial to the race. Mankind must if it would prosper, or indeed exist, select for its support and praise those institutions, and those only, which operate to pro- duce riglit conduct; if the institution of Christianity be one that breeds immorality instead, it is of vital consequence that man shall learn it. And the best test of this question is unquestionably to be found in the effect of that religion on the class most thor- oughly permeated with it — the clergy.
From other lands there come news of the moral character of the clergy coincident with the presenta- tion here made. For instance, in England, from October, 1891, to October, 1892, 12 ministers com- mitted suicide, 14 broke the marriage promise, 17 committed various crimes, 18 misused animals, 109 violated women, 121 were indicted for drunkenness (habitual), 254 cheated their creditors, and 84 com- mitted minor offenses. That is 2.75 per cent of the English ministry, says the Pall Mall Gazette, who were in one year in trouble with the law-

The Devil Fishing.
The Devil sat by the river's side —
The stream of time, where you'll always find him— Casting his line in the rushing tide,
And landing the fish on the bank behind him.
He sat at ease in a cozy nook,
And was filling his basket very fast; While you might have seen that his deadly hook
Was differently baited for every cast.
He caught 'em as fast as a man could count;
Little or big. it was all the same. One bait was a cheque for a round amoimt;
An assemblyman nabbed it, and out he came.
He took a gem that as Saturn shone;
It sank in the water without a sound, And caught a woman who long was known
As the best and purest for miles around.
Sometimes he would laugh and sometimes sing,
For better luck no one could wish. And he seemed to know to a dead sure thing.
The bait best suited to every fish.
Quoth Satan: "The fishing is rare and fine." And he took a drink, somewhat enthused:
And yet a parson swam round the line. That e'en the most tempting bait refused.
He tried with his gold and his flashing gemfl,
Hung fame and fortune upon the line, Dressing gowns with embroidered hems,
But still the dominie made no sign.
A woman's garter went on the hook;
"I have him at last," quoth the devil, brightening; Then Satan's sides with laughter shook,—
And he landed the preacher as quick as lightning!

SIX HISTORIC AMERICANS, Large i2mo. Price, $1.25. This work consists ff two v^arts, "The Fathers of the Repub- lic" and "The Saviors of Our RcpuDlic." In regard to Paine's religious views, Mr. Remsburg establishes the negative of the following: (i) Was Paine an Atheist? (2) Was he a Christian? (3) Did he recant? Page after page of the most radical Freethought sentiments arc culled from the corre- spondence and other writings of Franklin and Jefiferson, which show that these men were as pronounced in their rejection of Christianity as Paine and Ingersoll. That Washington was not a church cummunicant, nor even a believer in Christi- anity, is affirmed or admitted by more than a score of wit- nesses, on^-half of them eminent clergymen, including the pastors T^ the >.hurches which he with his wife attended. In su^j^ort of Lincoln's Infidelity, he has collected the testimony of more than one hundred witnesses. These witnesses in- clude Mr. Lincoln's wife; his three law partners, Maj. Stuart, Judge Logan and W. li. Herndon; his private secretaries, Colonel Nicolay and Col. Hay; his executor after death. Judge David Davis; many of his biographers, including his companion and confidant. Col. Lamon; his political advisers, Col. Matheny, Jesse W. Fell, and Dr. Jayne; members of his cabinet, ?'id scores more of his most intimate friends and associates. The refutation of Grant's alleged Christian belief is complete and the proofs of his unbelief are full and coji vincing.

The Truth Seeker
THE '^EADINQ FREETHOUGHT JOUR- NAL OF THE WORLD.
Hiargest, Cheapest, Best.
" The Truth Seeker is to-day the strongest foe with which Superstition has to contend."
The Truth Seeker stands for justice, for liberty, for equality of all men before the law, regardless of relipioua belief. It asks for justice, not only for the Freethinkers, but for the Jews, for the Adventists, for every sect, and for every person whose rights a'-e now ignored by the dominant religion.
The Truth Seeker works for liberty, fo'- the opportunity for every Christian to worship as he chooses, and for the ri§:ht of the Infidel to re- frain from worship without being robbed of his citizenship. It stands for one man's right to be a heretic and for another's to be any kind of a relig- ious believer he pleases. It stands for absolute liberty, for a perfectly un- fettered freedom of the human mind, which is now so cramped and chained by custom and creed.
The Truth Seeker works for equality. When one man can build a church and make another support it, there is no equality between them. When one man does as he Hkes on one day of the week and forces another to do as he does also, then equality ceases, and we have master and slave. When the tyrant takes the education of the other man's children into hia Ci. re and keeping, the equality still further disappears. It is The Truth Sticker's work to make the boasted equality of man actual, and not th© cat.'h phrase it now is.
Che Truth Seeker constantly prints the most varied and interesting original papers.
The Truth vSeeker gives all the news of Freethought, and is always on guard against the encroachments of Ecclesiasticism upon the people's Liberties.
Tht sixteen large pages of The Truth Seeker are filled each -"vetk with scientific, philosophical, and Freethought articles and communica- tions by the ablest I-iberals of the country.
The I ruth Seeker is a paper for the Family, for the Philosopher, for the Thinker. It is iconoclastic to Error, but a Builder for the Truth. Ar/d it is more. As has been well said of it: "A paper like The Truth Seeker :s something 'nore and better than an advocate of truth. Through it its subscribers touch elbows with each other. Each reader knows that he is one of a gooi'ly company who find comfort and inspiration in its pages If the V shoui'A meet each other they would feel like brothers an.l sisters. Thev have liv?d under one intellectual roof, felt the glow of the sau:C fire- side, and brokv-n together the bread of life. Si cha paper is to thousands a substitute for the church."
The Truth Seeker is published every Saturdaj , at $3 per year, by The Truth SeeVtr Company, who are the principal Freethought publishers of this country.
