Index Tracts

No. 1.—Traths for the Times, or Reprksentattve Papers from The Index, contains the "Fifty Affirmations" and "Modern Principles." It gives a bird's-eye view of Free Religion as conceived by the Editor of The Index, and stores the "irrepressible conflict" between it and Christianity. Mr. Charles Darwin, author of "The Origin of Species," saws, in a letter to the Editor not originally intended for publication, but subseouently authorized to be used:—"I nave now read 'Truths for the Times,' and I admire them from my inmost heart; and I agree to almost every word." Price—Ten Cents (New Edition.)

No. 2.—Fear of the living God, an eloquent and beautiful disccurse by O. B. Frothingham, exposes the debasing character of the popular notions of God, and presents concelticls of him that are worthy of the nineteenth century. Price—Single copies Five Cents; Twelve copies Fifty Cents.

No. 3.—Lecture on the Bible, by the Rev. Charles Voysey, of England, who has recently been deprived of his benefice by the ecclesiastical courts on account of his bold and outspoken heresies, is an overwhelming demonstration of the imperfections and errors of the Bible, both in the Old and the New Testaments. Passages sustaining the argument are copiously quoted, with references to chapter and verse in every instance; and no abler, fairer, or more high-toned treatise on the subject can be found in the English language.
