My dear Miss [Addams].--
Dean Inge of London has proved once more that the appointed and paid Leaders of Education in the churches and Universities, as well as the Literary Field, are apt to suffer sadly from "befuddled" brains and want looking after by progressive women, as all progress in human life depends upon these Leaders that are the "makers" of Kings, Presidents, Legislators as well as private individuals of both sexes.
What an insult to the wide-awake American people on the part of the Dean, when he expects them to maintain the present Social System of civilized countries (which is based on Error and [Self-love] because of Heathen and Mosaic ideas on the Problem of Life) after they have become convinced through The Light of Science [page 2] that the "Sermon on the Mount" is the only true Wisdom there is, and the adherence to it the only means of bringing human life to satisfactory and enjoyable enjoyable conditions for all?
If all the Legislators and Judges and Jurors had come to the clear and scientific understanding that evil "thoughts" and "desires" going forth from human beings are just as harmful to human life as criminal actions (which the Sermon on the Mount implies and which the Light of Science today proves to be true) would they still continue with the death sentence for murders and other cruel punishment for lesser criminal actions and heap [red] hot coals of fire upon their own heads by so doing? Would they not make new laws in [favor] of the removal of all "causes" of human sins and crimes and hateful thoughts and desires that poison the vital sphere and are responsible for all diseases in human, animal, and plant life, as well as lunacy? And if they did that would they not have to get rid of all the blind and false Leaders of Education [page 3] (such as Dean Inge) in the first place by doing away with money and every possibility of accumulating wealth, or by placing them in a nice Sanatorium with plenty of land for the [illegible] inmates to cultivate, if they should persist in playing the fool? Next to that, would they not have to get rid of Kings, Monarchs and the rest of the figure-heads that serve themselves instead of the Public, [or some old thing] ↑and↓ get people with the Christ-mind and Christ Spirit as Public Servants right through? Then again, would they not do away with everything by way of intoxicating drinks and drugs and the luxuries, for the love of which the world is [overrun] with Prostitutes, adorned with the marriage ring and otherwise?
I am enclosing a few more copies of my latest little "bomb" to bring down Babylon. I have sent some already, I believe, to your organization. I think you will have to agree that I am hitting the nail on the head.
