Index Tracts

No. 1.—Truths for the Time, on Representative Paprus 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 states the "irrepressible conflict" between it and Christianity. Mr. Charles Darwin, author of "The Origin of Species," says, in a letter to the Editor not originally intended for publication, but subsequently authorized to be used:—"I have now read 'Truths for the Timee,' 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 concert ions of him that are worthy of the nineteenth century. Price—Single copies Five Cents; Twelve copies Fifty Cents.

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.
