'Noble morality is classic morality, the morality of Greece, of Rome,
of Renaissance Italy, of ancient India. But Christian morality is
slave morality _in excelsis_. For the essence of Christian morality is
the desire of the individual to be saved: his consciousness of power is
so small that he lives in hourly peril of damnation and death and
yearns thus for the arms of some saving grace.'--_F. Nietzsche_, by A.
R. Orage, p. 53.

'They [Christians] have never learnt to love, to think, to trust. They
have been nursed and bred and swaddled and fed on fear. They are
afraid of death: they are afraid of truth: they are afraid of human
nature: they are afraid of God.... They deal in a poor kind of old
wives' fables, of lackadaisical dreams, of discredited sorcery, and
white magic, and call it religion and the holy of holies. They wander
about in a sickly soil of intellectual moonshine, where they mistake
the dense and sombre shadows for substances. They want to stop the
clocks of time that it may never be day, and to hoodwink the eyes of
the nations that they may lead the people as so many blind.'--ROBERT
BLATCHFORD, _Clarion_, March 3, 1905.

vicinity of a white settlement would have proved the more formidable
obstacle to the conversion of the Indian. When Tounchichi was urged to
listen to the doctrines of Christianity, he keenly replied, "Why, there
are Christians at Savannah! there are Christians at Frederica!" Nor
was it without good apparent reason that the poor savage exclaimed,
"Christian much drunk! Christian beat men! Christian tell lies!
Devil Christian! Me no Christian!"'--SOUTHEY, _Life of John Wesley_,
vol. i. p. 57.

'I was then carried in spirit to the mines where poor oppressed people
were digging rich treasures for those called Christians, and heard them
blaspheme the name of Christ, at which I was grieved, for to me His
name was precious. I was then informed that these heathens were told
that those who oppressed them were the followers of Christ, and they
said among themselves, "If Christ directed them to use us in this sort,
this Christ is a cruel tyrant."'--_Journal of John Woolman_, p. 264.

'What many upright and ardent souls have rejected is a misconception, a
caricature, a subjective Christianity of their own, a traditional
delusion, which
