The Blood of Man and Beast
IN THE effort of the so-called “scientists” of our day to eliminate Jehovah God from their calculations, and to do all possible to bring dishonor to His name, there has been a desperate effort made to substantiate the theory not only that there is no substantial difference between man and beast, but that they have the perfect right to mix one with the other in any way they choose. This, however, is not the case.
The article by Charles A. Pattillo, of Virginia, on “The Sacredness of Human Blood”, which appears in this issue, presents an entirely new viewpoint. If the pollution of human blood is un-scriptural, as Mr. Pattillo’s article seems plainly to show is the case, it can be depended upon that the men who have heretofore had little real opposition on the subject of vaccination and se-rumization will suddenly find themselves confronted with an army of conscientious objectors who will rely for their guidance upon the laws of the Book of books and for their protection upon its Author, Jehovah God.
The common sense of mankind, as well as the Scriptures, forbids attempts to produce hybrids of humans and other creatures, whether those creatures are of the heavenly realm, as in the case of the angels that sinned prior to the flood, by leaving their proper estate and taking to themselves wives from among the daughters of men, or are “of the earth, earthy”, and far beneath man from every point of view. The common people have much common sense.
Having the same spirit of disobedience that animated the angels of old that sinned, but not having their temptation, and not having their powers, a group of so-called “scientists”, however, left London about a year ago and proceeded to equatorial Africa with the avowed intention of undertaking to bring about a cross between orang-utans and men and women. This was in direct violation of a command of Jehovah God given to the Israelites. There must be no flowing of human blood in the veins of animals, nor flowing of the blood of beasts in the veins of those created in the image and likeness of God. “Neither shalt thou lie with any beast, to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.” —Lev. 18:23.
What Vaccination Does
Hitherto we have regarded the above prohibition as made wholly because of the unnatural bestiality involved, but it now appears that there is a deeper reason. The blood of man is sacred. It may not be polluted by coming in contact with the blood of any other creature, either as above, or by the insidious method of serums, or as a food.
It is no doubt literally true that after Cain had slain Abel the voice of his brother’s blood truly ‘cried unto God from the earth’. (Gen. 4:10) That is the statement of the Scriptures, and there is no reason to contest it. The vibrations could not be concealed. The life had been poured out, but the evidences of the crime, mute to human ears, but not to those of Divinity, continued to throb in the ears of the Creator. Manifestly, the earth itself had no right to these peculiar vibrations which belonged by creative gift to the organism of Abel only. Hence the warning and declaration to Cain: “When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength.”—Gen. 4:12.
Men of science (?), entrusted with the guardianship of the public health, have in recent years assumed the absolute right to mingle the blood of diseased calves and diseased horses with that of little children and others. The charge has been made by others that in thus confusing the human blood stream, and mingling human blood cells with other blood cells, they may be properly accused of originating multitudes of diseases and intensifying some of the plagues (such as
GOLDEN AGE
cancer) from which unhappy man is now suffering.
While the Israelites were told that they might eat flesh, yet they were also told, “Ye shall not eat the blood: ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.” (Dent. 12:16) If God forbade His people to do anything with the blood of slain, animals except to pour it out upon the earth, what right has anybody now to say to the rest of his fellow men that the blood of a calf or horse, after having been poisoned and rendered filthy to the nth degree, must, instead of being poured out upon the ground, be poured right into the most sacred thing in this world today, the blood of living children ? In the light of this prohibition there is even a question whether it is right to use ox-blood in the manufacture of buttons; it is certainly wrong to use it in the manufacture of white sugar.
Blood May Not Be Eaten
Until one has looked into the matter, it is surprising to find how many and how urgent are the instructions given to the Israelites that they may not eat blood, under penalty of being cut off. Here, for instance, is this command, found in Leviticus 7: 26, 27: “Ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it he of fowl, or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from bis people.” There must, have been some good reason, some ample justification, for such a command.
When animal food was to be used, the animal was to be killed in such a way as to allow all the blood to leave the carcass. To this day the Jews are very particular, when preparing animal food, to cut the throat of the animal quite through, and then suspend the carcass so as to allow all the blood to run out. They were forbidden to eat flesh not thus drained of its blood: "Te shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye oat any flesh, that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.”—Ex. 22: 31.
Not only might not the Israelite himself eat blood, but the most stringent laws were laid down that none of the strangers in the camp might eat it: .
And whatsoever man there bo of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood, I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in Ilie blood: and I .have given it to you upon the al-
BnooKtyK, X. X.
tar, to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall cat blood, neither shall any stranger that so-journeth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth an.I eaieheHi any beast or fowl that may be eaten: he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dusk For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat. the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.—-Lev. 17:10-14.
A Perpetual Statute ■
It is 'noted that the prohibition against the eating of blood is particularly stated to be a perpetual one. It was to persist from generation to generation. The statement that the prohibition of the eating of blood is a perpetual prohibition is accompanied by like prohibition against the eating of fat, but an explanation is given regarding the fat. It was not to be eaten because •'■'all the fat is the Lord’s”. But no explanation is offered respecting the blood, at least not in the place, Leviticus 3:16, 17, where the perpetuity of the prohibition is enjoined. .....■
In the case of the Jews the eating of blood was associated with idolatry, and the possession of their promised inheritance was made contingent upon whether or not blood was a'part of their diet. Thus the prophet Ezekiel (33:24, 25) asks a question the answer to which we are certainly given to understand would be in the negative:
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many; the land is given us for an inheritance. Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood : and shall ye possess the land?
That the taking of the blood of animals into the human system by eating it would be bound to exercise a deleterious effect upon future generations is as much a claim of the Scriptures as is the contention, by hosts of opponents of Jenner’s superstition that the tainted blood caused by vaccinations and sernmizations will curse posterity long after the vaccinators have passed from the scene. Deuteronomy 12: 23-25 says:
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life: and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. Thou shaft not eat it; thou shall pour it tip- : on the earth as water. Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after t'iiee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord.
What About Armageddon?
When we see these scriptures, and note the emphasis with which these commands not to mingle human blood and animal blood are repeated over and over, we can but wonder what part the violation, the general and impudent violation, of the spirit of this command will play in the battle of Armageddon. Will those who have made and injected and suffered the injection of calf and horse serums into the human blood stream go scot free? We doubt it.
Quite likely there is some connection between the violation of human blood and the spread of demonism. We cannot suppose that the Creator had no reason for associating the two, and He has done so at least twice in His Word. One of these passages is in Leviticus 19: 26 and reads: “Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood; neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe limes.”
Can it be that the general corruption and violation of human blood by serums of various sorts has provided a garden out of which, in Armageddon, will grow, and do now grow, the most monstrous conditions of accord with the Devil and his angels, with their vibrations, their ways of doing things, if you please, that have ever taken place on this planet? It looks as if it might be so, and as if we were just beginning to find it out.
Let no one hide behind the thought that the laws given to the Jews have no application to anybody now. In the New Testament it is deserving of particular notice that at the very time when the holy spirit declared by the apostles that the Gentiles are free from the yoke of circumcision, abstinence from blood was explicitly enjoined (Acts 15:28, 29), and the action, thus prohibited was classed with idolatry and fornication. This plainly suggests that much of the looseness of our day along sexual lines may be traceable to the easy and continued violation of the divine commands to keep human and animal bldod apart from each other. "With cells of foreign blood racing through his veins man is not normal, not himself, but lacks the poise and balance which make for self-control.
The Sacredness of Human Blood By Cluirles A. Pattillo (La.)' (reasons why vaccination is unscriptural)
SINCE vaccination has become a topic for discussion,. I cannot restrain myself from writ-b’g you iu regard to this great evil. The vaccination law cannot be a just law. Every father and mother ought to have a right to say what should be done to the body of their own child; yet the vaccination law reduces the father and mother to mere slavery, almost as bad as the colored people were in, when their children were put upon the block and sold. In many slave-sale cases the mother and father were even forbidden to shed tears.
Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after .the flood. In Genesis 9:1-17 we read: “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you, and the dread of you, shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon she earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and ■with your seed after you: and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and. of every beast of the earth with you, from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood, neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and .you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 'And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: and I will remember’ my covenant, which is between me and you, and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.”
This covenant not only involves the entire human family, but also includes every other living creature upon the earth. (See Genesis 9:10,12.) So important was this covenant that God placed His bow in the clouds as an everlasting reminder of the danger of its violation. There are two things that God, in this covenant, forbids man's doing. One is, that man shall not take the blood of the beast internally; and the other is, that he shall not shed the blood of his fellow man.. If lie should violate this law, then, by man should his blood be shed. As the beast was included in this covenant, its blood could in like manner be shed.
All reasonable minds must conclude that it was not the eating of the blood that God objected to, but it was bringing the blood of the beast in contact with. the blood of man. Not only has man shed the blood of his fellow man unlawfully, hut he has taken the body of the beast and unlawfully polluted its blood with poison and afterwards taken this blood and injected it directly into contact with the blood of the man, in the name of vaccine and antitoxin. To my mind, this is a violation of the law of God, in the most degrading manner possible to conceive of.
That this has met with the divine disapproval we are told in the twenty-fourth chapter of Isaiah, fifth verse, “The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” The ‘'''ordinance” of God, or the divine rule by which, man should be governed, is laid down in this covenant. Not only has man violated this law, but he has changed the ordinances of God by trying to make them read so as to justify his wicked acts. No doubt there are numbers of people who will try to justify themselves in the violation of this law. But the man who violates the law of God in the least, and tries to justify himself in the act, is far more reprehensible, in the sight of God, than the man who. commits the act and confesses afterwards that he did it.
The Lord has said, "As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” (Luke 17:26) In Noah’s day it was the introducing of unnatural blood into the blood of the human family, by the rulers, that brought the divine disapproval and caused almost the entire destruction of both man and beast in the flood. .....
God made this covenant with Noah directly after the flood, indicating that its violation might bring upon the human family a. destruction similar to that of the flood. Wo do know that the Lord says that because of the \lolation of this covenant there will be comparatively-few.....:~s
men left. (Isa, 24: 6) The human race today.is facing the worst trouble that was ever known ' to man, and it is the solemn duty of every Bible student to warn his fellow man against the violation of this law.
I have myself lied to no man that I know of. If I have taken a penny from, my fellow man unlawfully, I am willing to give him two. If I have wronged my fellow man in any way, I am willing to correct it. I do not want to take upon, myself any honor that belongs to God. For the past fifteen years I have stood firmly for truth and justice as the only road to life, peace and . happiness. Yet I am threatened with prosecution at the hands of several prosecuting at??’- ' neys because I have bitterly opposed the vac- : cinating of my seven-year-old son, John Bussell. ; I am not willing to bring down upon my head the divine disapproval. There is no law laid down in the Bible that would justify me in sub--mitting to this great evil.
When the time conies that man has to violate the law of God, to better his own condition, this would prove that the law of God was an unjust law, and the very law itself becomes a reproach, to its Maker.
Vaccination has never saved a human life. It does not prevent smallpox. Good food, good water, and sanitary living conditions are the ... basis of human health. No disease has ever proven this more prominently than smallpox. .......
The most sacred, thing on earth in the sight o£ God is human blood, "for in the image of God made he man.” (See Genesis 9:6.) God destroyed the entire human race, except Noah and his family, at the time of the flood, because of unnatural pollution of human blood. He then entered into a covenant with Noah that involved every living creature that lived upon the earth. That covenant was based almost entirely upon the sacredness of the blood of man in the sight of his Aiaker. The man that makes it his business to pollute the blood of man. with all manner of filth taken from the blood of animals is committing one of the most criminal offenses toward God that was ever committed by man. It is not known the suffering to which this act may yet lead.
God grant that the people may be awakened to the giving of this matter a more careful consideration.
Vaccination—Why Not?
OF ALL the inventions that have been foisted upon mankind for their defilement the most subtly devilish is that of vaccination. But in order to fully appreciate this fact we must have an understanding of what vaccination really is, and its effect upon the human, system. Many have come to realize that it is a healthwrecking practice, and some have attempted a measure of explanation why, but these explanations, in the main, have still left their question marks.
Several years ago the theory was advanced that the weakening after-effects of vaccination were due to bovine cell graft. This theory at the time seemed to be a very satisfactory explanation. But since then other question marks have arisen.
Tn the first place, the human system as it is today is in a general cell-hybrided state, due to generations of meat eating. The effect of this has not been a detrimental one to .the general •health, but it has let down the gates of the system to a quick aging process, and also greatly limited man’s mental functions. The human system' is the most finely developed, and thereby the most respondingly sensitive to influences, of any life created upon the earth. This is a necessary essential for a foundation of eternal youth, which even science now declares not to lie a remote impossibility.
Because of its extreme sensitiveness to influences it appeared reasonable that during the process or course of the vaccine disease a cell graft from the animal from which the vaccine serum w7as taken would result in some of the sensitive glands of the system. This while remaining would have a tendency to unbalance the vital functions. But granting that such a cell graft takes place, and as this graft is not
By IT. Sillaivay (Tennessee)
in itself a disease, the question arises, What influence holds this bunched graft in the system after* the disease that planted it has run its course ?
There would appear to be several reasons for questioning the soundness of the original bovine cell graft theory in vaccination. But these we will not here take the space to discuss in detail, except the one line of evidence which we believe has led up to true solution. And in reaching this the original bovine cell graft theory has been a stepping stone, for the theory has not been totally wrong.
Syphilitic Symptomal After-Effects
There is a striking similarity in the aftereffects of vaccination to the constitutional derangements resulting from venereal syphilis. The only comparative difference would seem to be a usual absence of the marked scrofulous symptoms often met with in sufferers from this disease. So marked has been this similarity that it has attracted the attention of many who have hastily jumped to the conclusion that this is the result of venereal syphilis inoculation. The strong syphilitic symptoms that are often so conspicuous as an aftermath of vaccination have in the past been charged to syphilitic blood taint in the individual furnishing the foundation disease filth for vaccine cultures. But there are strong reasons for doubting that these symptoms are often if ever the result of such blood taint. The fact is that syphilitic symptoms are altogether too common as an after-effect of vaccination; which would indicate, if the blood taint theory is true, then practically only those who have venereal syphilis blood poison are selected to furnish the foundation disease filth for vaccine cultures.
There are really two distinct classes of disease germs. For convenience we will designate these as class A and class B. Class A includes all germs of diseases that have no tendency to immunize the sufferer from them from future attacks of the same disease. This class includes such germs as typhoid, malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc. Apparently the majority of these have their incipient rise or creation outside or independent of the human system.
Class B includes all disease germs of diseases which usually immunize the system from a second attack of the same disease. While the various diseases of class B differ widely in their symptoms! effects upon the system, -yet there seems to be a distinct relationship between practically all germs of this class, in that apparently they all have the same incipient foundation in their creative development. Their creative start would appear to be within the human system itself upon a filth foundation. This is a well known fact as to the incipient start of venereal syphilis. This disease has its start in rank sex. immorality.
All disease spores or germs are a form of life. As the germs of class B are seemingly beyond question fertilized into life existence by the gland secretions of the .human system or other animal .life, it would appear that a ravz or inflamed surface is essential to bring the parent germs into existence. Thus in smallpox, which has its recognized beginning in human filth, some skin eruption would seem to be necessary to give the germ its element of the human cell foundation necessary to its first life start. As this fertilization of smallpox spores is apparently through, the medium of the sensitive glands of the skin, the disease in its eruptive phase is confined principally to that part of the system. The particular organ or gland which fertilizes the germ into life gives each kind of germ its own peculiar characteristic in disease effect.
While it is not a proven theory, yet there is strong evidence indicating that all or practically all contagious diseases which produce permanent cell changes of a cell graft nature in certain glands of the body, with an influence to immunize the system of the patient against a second attack of the same disease, have their creative rise in an individual of a syphilis blood taint. If this is true, then the degree of this blood taint would possibly have an influence on. the virulence of the resulting epidemic. Also, if this theory is true, then a, banishment of syphilis from the earth would do away with this class of diseases.
The lower animals are ordinarily immune from contagious diseases of the B class originating in the human system. However, on the other hand, there are certain diseases of animals of a contagious nature that are contagious to man when the spores of the disease come in contact with a raw or inflamed surface. Whether any of the contagious diseases of domestic animals are of class B the writer has been unable to determine. It is doubtful if any animal is immune from, syphilis germ contagion under certain conditions of contact with them. It is possible that some contagious diseases of domestic are merely an evolution of infections of a syphilis germ foundation through human contact.
Cats have been blamed for diphtheria, but just how much foundation there is to this theory, if any at all, we are unable to say. Cats do not have diphtheria, and there is little question that the creative foundation of these germs is in the human system itself. But germs of some diseases appear to pass through evolutionary stages, in which one stage of their development is supposed to be through some of the lower animals, especially of the rodent class. It is therefore possible that diseased cats may play a. part in the intermediate evolutionary development of diphtheria germs.
Evolution and Eevolution of Germa
Germ evolution through the medium of human ingenuity is the foundation of all serums. In the manufacture of vaccines the disease filth for its foundation is transmitted to the raw flesh of the animal selected as the victim of this barbarous practice. This is in nature a forced graft of the disease germ upon the system of the animal. But because of the fact that the lower animals are not subject to smallpox, or other contagions of class B peculiar to humans, for which the animal is used as the subject for serum cultmes, iho forced admittance of smallpox germ filth into its system will not in turn produce a case of smallpox in the animal. .....
What results through this smallpox-infected sore is a blood-poison disease producing a fever and a putrid inflammation at the point, of infection. But the germs developed in the system of the-animal, from’ the siuaHpox germ swd uwnot smallpox germs, for in their development they undergo an evolution suitable to the foundation..

Vaccine germs are a hybrid production through a crossed fertilization, -and ordinarily are apparently fixed in possibilities of further <..... change, though readily reproducing their own
kind when introduced into the human system through the vaccination process. The disease ■BBMBWWpon the system of these germ spores in i he resulting fever and inflammation lias practi-< r'ly no resemblance to smallpox, and it is an apparent absurdity to suppose vaccination to be a disease preventive in any sense whatever. And .......-even if • it were, its vitality-weakening after- effects would far overbalance its benefits as such.
■ • * Were there no weakening after-effects from vaccination its practice might be regarded as merely a harmless-absurdity. But the facts of WF the matter are that the brief physical incon..........- venience experienced in vaccination, while the vaccine disease is running its course, is of little S''-feonsequence in comparison to the weakened ri...............constitutional foundation so often left as its
-- legacy.
...............-.......■•■It is- because this weakened vitality is so ?!.......— subtle in its manifestation that it has not been
■ more generally recognizf'd. It usually requires F3®--;from six months to several years before the mm moms of it become marked. This weakened ...........svrtality'ris the result of certain changes of a ®f < more or less permanent nature, which take place (luring the course of the vaccine fever, in the '■ells of certain of the vital glands of the seat of - life. These changes are in harmony with the cell yv........ structure of the disease germs that produced
Spo them, which also involve elements of the cell Se, ■ ■ structure of the animals upon which the vac. cine cultures were developed. Thus the disease
” of vaccine syphilis becomes fixed in the system.
But why call it by that name? There are the best of reasons for this. In fact its physical yv - effects upon the system, as far as they go, are i- ■■........practically identical with those of venereal syphi
lis. In the second place, it is really a close cousin llivvto that- disease.
IE® - if correct in the theory that all germs of class ® ;c B. are in their incipient creation merely devolu-tionized offsprings from venereal syphilis, then f................:Wt is clear that in the destruction, of the devolu-
tionized superstructure of these germs, through F® : their planting on a negative bovine soil, the re-j suit would be a corresponding evolution of the syphilis foundation, of the germ. The resulting germ would be nothing more or less than a mild form of syphilis of a bovine fertilized cross. The planting of this germ in the human system through vaccination results in a more or less permanent fixing of the disease taint in the system through a harmonizing graft derangement of the sensitive vital glands.
Venereal syphilis is transmitted to posterity through its graft in the glands of the procreative organs, thus contaminating their secretions. While vaccine syphilis does not appear to be transmissible in this manner, due to the fact there is no marked derangement of the procreative system through it, yet there is often unquestionably a weakened posterity as its result. In fact, in the short period of time since vaccination was launched upon the race there has been a marked degeneration both physical and mental seemingly traceable in no small way to no other cause.
Serums All Harmful
There is no such thing as a harmless serum. All have a germ foundation created by human ingenuity that has a deranging influence upon the glandular system. Mere pus injected into the system is practically harmless unless blood poison sets up in the wound at point of injection. It is the evolutionized germs of devilish human creation that is the basic health-destroying; medium of the various disease serums of either class A or class B. Some are less harmful than others, but none are entirely harmless.
The havoc already created by vaccines and other serums, especially those of class B, is appalling. And the worst of it is that they have been so subtle in their devitalizing influence that it has escaped the attention of the majority, who are deluded into believing they are gainers in health by the very process that is destroying their constitutional vitality and unbalancing their mental functions.
Evidence is not lacking that some of the sweeping epidemic diseases that were unknown before serum squirting became popular are the direct result of human germ tampering. In the candid opinion, of the 'writer, based upon this evidence, the epidemic of flu, which swept the world during the World War, had its rise in the wholesale vaccination and serum infection of the soldiers as its creative germ foundation in the germ-fertile conditions of the battlefields of Europe. There is no greater cause for alarm in our day than in the contagion epidemic possibilities presented in the germ experiments of serum specialists.
The physical after-effects of vaccination differ widely in the constitutional make-up of the individual. With some there is little of outward symptoms of its vitality-weakening effects, though undoubtedly there is some loss of constitutional vitality even in those cases not outwardly perceptible. With others this weakening effect is manifest only in an increased susceptibility to acute trouble. These are also apt to go harder with such. Others suffer permanent loss of health in varying degrees. Usually some time elapses between vaccination and the perceptible beginning of constitutional breakdown. This time varies from a few months to several years.
Its Dementalizing Influence
One of the noticeable marked effects of vaccination upon the human system is that of mental and moral degeneration. However, not all who are vaccinated perceptibly experience these degenerating influences. The reason for this is that the exercise of the mind and will in proper channels tends to resist dementalizing and moral degenerating influences. But sometimes even 'with such, dementalizing influences are too strong and insanity results. And insanity has had a tremendous impetus since vaccination and serum treatments became general.
While vaccine syphilis does not appear to be inheritable, yet from the very nature of the effect of this disease upon the system it is apparent that ordinarily one under its effect could not parent as constitutionally strong offspring as otherwise. And while the parent might successfully resist any perceptible dementalizing influence, through habitual exercise of the mental functions in proper channels, yet it is reasonable to suppose that oftentimes the foundation strength of many of the higher and nobler reasoning faculties are so weakened as to be beyond the power of the parent to transmit in functioning strength to offspring. At any rate, it remains that the present generation is a sadly weakened one in these respects, and beyond question vaccines and serums are not altogether blameless for this deplorable condition.
• A. striking example of the mental and moral deteriorating influence of serums upon the human system is seen in the manifest results of serum squirting during the World War. There was more or less of a wholesale vaccination program carried out at the very time that through insidious v;ar propaganda the public mi".d wes inflamed with hatred and a desire to kill or have it done. This letting down of the bars of the finer and higher sentiments of human, nature left a foundation for free action of vaccine syphiliA influence upon the brain cells. This process, which is a gradual one, had full time to accomplish more or less fixed changes of a paralyzing nature in the higher brain cells, -with a corresponding fixing of the baser sentiments which were having full sway at the time this process was going on, before the war influence receded sufficiently to permit a return to normal.
Very naturally this disease effect was dbbidldy ly more marked in those of youthful agCfflH' in those of more mature years. While through insidious influences the minds of the fully aged mature are capable of being warped for a timc-into an unbalanced channel, nevertheless the former crystallized mental attitude towards life apparently is a resistant influence toward these brain cell alterations that the unsettled minds of youth do not always possess. .
As vaccine syphilis is apparently a disease cell graft in the sensitive glandular system, it is through this diseased nourishment from these glands that the finely organized and supersensitive higher brain cells are weakened and deranged. Undoubtedly the bovine cell twist of this graft has much to do in producing such a marked destructive influence upon menial strength and moral balance. The influence of the state of perfection and health of the ductless glands, and especially the thyroid, upon the moral nature and mental state of health of the individual is a well recognized fact.
There seems to be little question that the criminal tendencies of the present generation, so prominently manifest since the World War, have been influenced in no small part by the direct effects of vaccination upon the moral nature of that class of society who have failed to fortify themselves against it by wholesome ambitions and a cultivation of the nobler sentiments. It is the impulsive element of society with no direct aim in life who present an open mental f-umda ■ tion for this pernicious influence. And much evidence that serumization is having much to do in the increase of such an element and is heading the race into the inevitable abyss of physical and mental destruction, which.-;phlytte vine interference can forestall.- - ::- ■ ■- -
The theory that vaccination results in a blood poison related to venereal syphilis is not a mere opinion. And while it is usually of a somewhat milder form, if has, nevertheless, an insidious weakening effect upon constitutional vitality and, what is even worse, an apparent influence towards mental deterioration. This influence in the young would in many cases naturally cause a moral reflex toward crime and immorality through a dulling of the moral senses in its paralyzing influence upon the higher brain cells.
There would seem to be but little doubt that the class of diseases represented by smallpox, chickenpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and mumps have their creative foundation upon a syphilitic blood taint. That the outbreak of any of these diseases in a locality may start with an individual free from venereal blood poison is no evidence against the theory; for not only are there various ways in which one may come in contact with germs of these diseases, hut there is also an apparent law of germ evolution in which the germ may not be identified in its minor disease phases with the disease of another stage of evoluted development. Or the the process may be reversed and the germ experience a devolution in its disease-outbreak manifestation.
For a number of years the writer resided in a section of the country where sex morality was unusually high and where apparently there was hid little venereal disease and blood taint. This was back in the days when hygienic rules w'ere not generally observed and regular bathing not practiced by a large percent of the population. Owing to a heating and greasy diet the people of this • section were far from healthy. As the result they were in fact a continual prey to a plague, of tuberculosis, and pneumonia and typhoid were prevalent. But smallpox, diphtheria and scarlet fever epidemics were unknown there. . Occasional epidemics of measles and mumps were experienced, but territory isolation from these two easily spread contagions is practically an. impossibility. The freedom of this section from epidemics of the disease plagues above mentioned might have been altogether from other influences, but in my opinion had venereal ’disease been common or the practice of vaccination general there would not have been this freedom from these plagues.
people have an exaggerated idea of the s^pfanal effects of syphilis blood poison. They usually think of its victims as literally rotting alive. This is indeed true enough in its most virulent type, and especially when associated with mercurial poisoning, as it often is. But such cases are the exceptional ones rather than the general rule. It is very doubtful if syphilis ever progresses to third or tertiary stage, in which the bones of its victim rot, where the system is free of calomel or other mineral drugs or a mercury foundation. Where this disease does not progress into its secondary stage of surface sores and eruptions after the primary stage of it has run its regular course in its outward symptomal effect, there is often little to attract attention to the fact that one is suffering from syphilitic blood poison. The symptoms in these cases are practically identical with the symptomal after-effects of vaccination.
Venereal disease, though not as prevalent as formerly, is still more common than is generally supposed. Its victims, through shame, pursue a policy of silence in regard to the foundation of their physical ills and weaknesses, and their associates are seldom the wise. In fact, they have little chance to be, with an outnumbering percent, of people in almost every locality manifesting similar symptoms from after-effects of vaccination, and. the much similar symptoms often met with in cases of aluminum poisoning, now so common.
Syphilis blood poison is. not incurable, though the method of its cure is of rather recent discovery. This method is through a prolonged total fast carried to an extreme limit. The scientific foundation behind this method is the complete elimination of all dead matter from the system, thus leaving the disease without fertilization, which leads to a breakdown of the cell structure of its graft in the glandular system. Bad secondary syphilis of long standing has been cured by this process. Vaccine syphilis should yield readily to this method of treatment, though in ordinary cases the fast would not necessarily need to be carried to the same limit as in severe cases of the venereal disease. Owing to the bovine element of its cell graft its hold upon the system would not appear to be as tenacious, and it is possible that one or two prolonged partial fasts in which fruit juices alone are allowed would do the trick.
Children cannot ordinarily be put on a fast with impunity, and it should never be attempted without a competent authority in charge, However, as a general rule it will be found that children will gradually throw off this disease graft if kept rigidly on a diet of wholesome unrefined foods with an abundance of fresh fruits. In this diet but little meat, if any, should be allowed, and neither lard nor beef fats should be used as shortening in the foods used, as these leave an abnormal residue of waste in the system, which feeds the disease.
In fact, added fats of all kinds should be used sparingly, and all greasy foods avoided. The strict adherence to this kind of diet by adults suffering from vaccine blood poison will in time wear it out. Overeating’ must be guarded against. But adults who have suffered a constitutional breakdown from this disease should remember that the sensitive glands of their system have suffered a more or less permanent deterioration as the result, and the banishment of the blood poison from their system may not always result in a return to their former rugged state of health.
There would appear to be no question that the germ basis of all vaccine serums is merely a built-up germ on a syphilis foundation, which on introduction into the human system through vaccination results in derangement and deterioration of the sensitive glands. The sooner people wake up to this evident truth, the better off they will be. It is to be expected that serum squirting . enthusiasts among the medical profession will refuse to recognize this fact and will attempt to repudiate it with much show of learned wisdom. And the class of people who enjoy being fooled will continue to be fooled as long as the supposedly learned element engaged in the fooling business continue to ply their fool trades.
Turkey Neck Bend
TURKEY NECK BEND! Did you never hear of it before? No? Well! Your education has been neglected. You shall hear of it now. It is in Kentucky. Somewhere in the neighborhood there has been a burning of Judge Rutherford's books. The Gospel (?) Advocate has an article from the pen of Herbert E. Winkler, in which he says in part:
We held an appropriate service just before the burning took place, and, in order not to let our good be evil spoken of, we went at the burning orderly, not in a fun-making manner. Brother and Sister White, from Tompkinsville, and Brother Wood, the minister there, were present.
The books were dipped in crude oil, on account of which they burned rapidly. Dr. Tom Bedford, aged eighty-five, an elder of the church in Turkey Neck Bend was present and participated in burning the books. We were glad to learn that several families in that county had already burned their respective sets of books upon learning what error they contained. Mr. Rutherford boasts of a wider circulation for his books than, any other book in print, save the Bible only. He boasts of having sold forty-five millions of his books within seven years’ time.
His agents will almost force one to take the books. They will take money for them if they can get it; but if they cannot get money, they will take eggs, potatoes, etc., and even “crippled hens” will do.
Brethren, let us oppose Mr. Rutherford and rid the land of his books. I wish some day to see a burning of these books like unto that of Acts 19:19, when over twenty-seven thousand dollars’ worth were burned. Then mightily will grow the word of the Lord and prevail. (Acts 19:20) May the Lord speed that day ?
Crude oil, Turkey Neck Bend, and a man present and sanctioning the burning who has probably not had a new idea in sixty years. How appropriate it all seems as terminating the old arrangement of things and bringing in the new.
The article contains an error. Judge Rutherford’s books have attained a circulation, not of forty-five millions, but of ninety-three and one-half millions. Sometimes the Brooklyn book-making plant turns out over 80,000 'books and booklets a day, and they are distributed as fast as made. The book-burning creates a market for many more. It was a good advertisement. How Judge Rutherford must worry about the bookburning at Turkey Neck Bend I
Longest Cable Railway
mHE longest suspension cable railway is in ■JL the Alps, where passengers are swung through the air three miles to near the top of the Nebelhorn. In this three-mile trip in a basket there is one span that is about 3,200 feet long. Thrilling, indeed, is this ride into the clouds.
Censorship in Venezuela
LIKE Cuba, Venezuela has a censorship. All letters leaving or entering the country are opened. Envelopes must bear the sender's address. Free speech is prohibited. No one may criticize the Government, despite the self-evident fact that it most justly deserves it for thus restricting liberty..
Common People Essentially Honest
THEBE is mueli that is good about the common people. They are essentially honest. This is proven by the fact that the average loss on bad debts in America is less than six-tenths of one percent. The average annual retail bill of goods sold on credit is about $20,000,000,000, of which one-fourth is installment business. In the end practically all of it is paid.
What America Yet Lacks
AMERICA yet lacks 4,000,000 bath tubs for its city families; it lacks plumbing in 3,000,000 city homes; it has 4,000.000 families in the rural districts that are without electricity: it. has 13,000,000 rural families with no telephones; it has 20,000,000 families without a good radio set; and it has at least 5,000,000 families without adequate clothing, food and shelter. Not so much to brag about, after all.
Buying Power Must Be Increased
ARGUING that the buying power of the people must be increased, if the country is to <goon producing at the 1929 level, the Washington Post points out that had the workers received in 1929 the same share of their product as they received in. 1849, eighty years ago, their employers would have had to put $5,000,000,000 in their pay envelopes and there would have been no depression.
Rockefeller Helps the Poor
J Hits D. Rockefeller, Sr., has recently given $1,000,000 for relief of the unemployed. It was a wise investment. It won’t be long now before the great billionaires will bo throwing their ■gold and silver into the streets, generously distributing their wealth among the jobless and hungry, because they will instinctively sense the protection it will afford for what they may have left.

Jews Returning to Hebron
THERE are now five Jews living again at Hebron, where sixty-four members of the
Jewish community were slain on August 24,1929. Since the Jewish residents fled the business of the town has come almost to a standstill, the post office receipts having slumped to one-tenth of former volume. .
Tortures in Italy
Professor Ckuspx, of Italy, in a recent address in England, said of conditions in his native land: “Terrible tortures take place in prison. Sometimes people’s feet are placed in boiling water; sometimes they are pounded over the heart with a hammer covered with indiarubber. People passing prisons have often heard shrieks coming from the cells.”
Italy’s Increasing Population
SINCE 1922 Italy’s population has increased over ten percent and is now’ 42,000,000. At the present rate of growth of 500,000 a year the population by 1950 will be 50,000,000. The present density of 350 people to the square mile is exceeded by a few countries, but there is much waste mountain land in Italy, and the present population is very large for the arable acreage as now cropped. •
Berliners Quitting the Church
UNDER. Prussian law persons wishing to be relieved from church contributions must make formal declaration that they are no longer members. Conditions are so bad in Berlin, and the people are becoming' so thoroughly convinced that the churches are a part of the Devil’s organization in the earth, that 57,640 Berliners withdrew from these institutions during the one year of 1929.
Music from the Air
A FRENCH musician and radio expert, Maurice Martenot, has invented a musical instrument resembling' a piano in external appearance which, instead of hammers and keys, has a series of batteries and bulbs. When operated, this instrument draws from the air all the sound effects of strings, wood-winds, brasses, the organ, and closely approximates the human voice.
'Auctioning Of? the Churches
THE Board of Home Mission and Church Extension of the Methodist Church has been holding a meeting in Philadelphia trying to devise some way to avoid auctioning off some 400 to 500 churches. The very fact that there are so many so near the auction block is interesting and significant.
France’s Colossal Improvement Scheme
FRANCE has under consideration the most colossal single improvement scheme ever undertaken in the world. It provides for credits of 4,650,000,000 francs to be .expended in the building of railroads, ports, highways, waterpowers, forts, barracks, canals, bridges, schools and wireless plants in every corner of the world where France has possessions or mandates.
New York Narrows Tunnel under Way
THE Narrows Tunnel between Brooklyn and T¥ID you know that you have two chances of Staten Island having been approved by the A-J being burned to death in November, Decern-
War Department, preliminary work for its construction is already under way. It will be 11,000 feet between portals, will lie one hundred feet beneath the channel, will have two tubes each thirty-two feet in diameter, and "will cost about $78,000,000. It is expected to carry much of the seaboard traffic around New York city. It must be completed by the end of the year 1936.
Wealth of the Country
Dr. Joseph P. Kane, of the American Public
Health Association, says that the material national wealth of the United States is probably about $400,000,000,000. Then he gallantly says that the value of the women of the country is not less than $500,000,000,000. But he spoils it all by adding that the value of the men of the the country is $1,500,000,000,000. The mean thing! Wait till his wife and his daughters and his mother-in-law hear about that.
Hope for India’s Untouchables
ONE of the most hopeful things at the round table conference on India was the speech of Bhimrao Ambedkar, himself of the scavenger class, who asserted that India’s caste system is breaking down and that all India would rather take their chances in the future with Indian rulers than continue as at present. The conference has agreed that Burma, which has no caste problems, shall have a separate government from India.
Germans Make Helium Gas
T EAVE it to the Germans to solve their ehem-ical problems. They have now found out how to make helium gas out of a sand found freely in the Carolinas and in Brazil. Important helium supplies have also been found in the Belgian Congo. This unbumable gas is what is . needed to bring safety to travel by zeppelin.
A Zeppelin Railway Car
K RAILWAY car, shaped like a zeppelin, and ? driven by a propeller, has been tried out on a line near Hanover, Germany. Within six seconds of starting it had attained a speed of 94 miles an hour. The coach is 85 feet long, built mainly of steel and aluminum. The engine is 500 horsepower and, it is claimed, will drive the car 62 miles on 12 gallons of oil fuel.
Fire Hazard in Winter Months her and January to one that you have in April, May and June? Nevertheless, that is the fact. The moral is that when you pick up the kerosene can, having in mind thus to start a fire, you should carefully figure out whether or not you are ready for heaven, and if so, whether you are willing to appear there with all^the fuzz burned off your feathers.
Reduce Taxes by Enlarging Counties
counties in Tennessee consolidated and cut their taxes in half by getting along with only one set of officials. Why cannot this be done all over the country? What earthly use is there in having counties twenty-four miles square, cut wo into 50 to 100 units of administration? Why try to imagine we are hack in the horse and buggy days? It would be no hardship if the average county were to be made fifty miles square, and would save much.
A Nice Kind of Christians
SOMEBODY or something calling themselves or called by the newspapers a “Christian.
Students Congress”, after being entertained by the Catholic authorities at Galatz, Rumania, marched through the streets four hundred strong beating Jews, smashing the plate glass windows of Jewish shops and throwing stones through the windows of Jewish homes. Let’s see, Jesus said: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Wonder where these “Christians” got their Christianity.
Search for the Overworked
A WRITE!? in the New* York Times makes the sensible suggestion that now is a good time to hire a force of investigators to make a search for the overworked, the workers that are being driven beyond their strength, and insist on shorter hours and less speed. Thus she mentions teachers as having classes so large that the students cannot be given adequate attention. Why not split such classes in half and make > o>'k for more teachers, with better results all around?
Annual Output per Worker
IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA the annual output per worker per year is about $1,200; in England, Switzerland, Germany, France and Belgium it is about $1,500; in Italy and Australia it is about $1,800; in Sweden it is $2,000; in Canada it is $4,250, and in the United States it is $5,192 per year. Wages are about $8 per week in France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and Italy; $11 in Germany, $14 in England, Sweden and Switzerland, and $30 in Canada and the United States.
Dividends as Big as Usual
WHEN hard times come it is the workers that suffer, not the corporations. The dividends of the big corporations are as big as ever. Standard Oil were $287,000,000; United States Steel, $85,000,000; American Telephone and Telegraph Company, $140,000,000; Santa Fe, $31,000,000; Consolidated Gas of New York, $56,000,000; Du Pont, $56,000,000; General Electric, $49,000,000; General Motors, $153,000,000; Pennsylvania, $52,000,000; General Foods, $16,-000,000.. .
Hard Conditions in Berlin
TJERLIN now has on her streets 100,000 per-sons who have been idle for more than a year and a half; and the city faces a deficit of 62,000,000 marks, due to efforts to provide them with necessities. The government has publicly asked that no balls be given except for charitable purposes. One of the leading newspapers has urged that everybody at work should daily speak to one or two jobless men to keep up their morale. Russia, meantime, boasts that she has not an idle man.
Polish Jews Taxed to Death
THE Jews of Poland are being deliberately ruined by taxation and other oppressions.
In the one small country, 900,000 Jews were evicted and their property seized for non-payment of taxes in the year 1928. In the last three years these impoverished people have been compelled to pay to their diabolical government. $14,000,000 in interest charges and costs of executions levied against them for non-payment of taxes, and they now owe $55,000,000 in taxes which they have no way to pay.
Photograph Stirred the Police
Viscount Cowdray, writing in the London
News Chronicle about New York’s interest in prohibition enforcement says: “In New York the farce is complete. Thirty thousand speakeasies are known to the police, and not long ago a wine shop flourished openly in one of the uptown streets, its windows filled with vintages from the world over. Not until a newspaper published a photograph of the shop, with its owner posing in the doorway, did the police take action.”
