Gentlemen :— T have always advocated the doctrine, in all my lec- tures, sermons and writings, that the ''Stage*' should be the moral school-teacher; and that by producing historical, local and instructive plays, the auditors would learn more in a i'cw hours than could be obtain- ed from books in weeks. Tiiat a play can be instructive, sensational, thrilling and humorous; th(^r(!by combining all the qualifications to ex- ercise the various thinking faculties, and still not overstep the modesty of nature, whilst giving the greatest gratification to the audience. In the "Social War of 1900," I have endeavored to combine these qualifications, and have introdncol su';.'h le.ssans as the hour of the times demand, and I feel assured that wlien this drama is skilfully rendered, it will arouse the lethargic faculties of the community and do much good, as it has already done where it has been produced.

Mr. President, I have a very important matter to lay before you, which requires immediate action, and I hope that the brotherhood is ready to use any means to accomplish what I propose. Should there be any chicken-hearted brothers or sisters present, I move that they be expelled. Mr. Grumbler. [Jtwijmiff to his feet, said roughly.'] Mr. President, our deacon is too imperious, and I shall oppose such broad cast dic- tation. If he don't trust us, neither shall we return the compliment. Dea. S. Stop, Mr. Grumbler, you are a suspicious and faithless fool, who is not to be trusted with any important work. I say, em- phatically, Mr. President, that brother Grumbler shall at once leave the room. Frest. Joe Fier. I will leave this matter to the majority of the friends. Nancy Clover. Brothers, I am grieved at your silly conduct ; are we not a unit? does not a house divided against itself fall? and shall we quarrel amongst ourselves, whilst a dangerous enemy is entering into our family, who, if his course is not summarily checked, will destroy our influence, and beloved cause entirely ? Frest. F. I now call for the question, and plans of Deacon Stew. Dea. S. Beloved Saints, we are the elect, and it behooves us to use any means to keep innovators and reprobates away from our path! First, we shall use moderate, but effectual means I if, how- ever, they fail, we shall, Secondly, drive the bullet or dagger to the inner recesses of the heart of the defiler of the brotherhood! There is a man in our midst, who has always held sentiments an- tagonistic to, and dangerously at variance with, our common cause; 3 4 THE SOCIAL WAK who has gained great influence in the family of our most heroic and wealthy co-laborer — I mean the family of General Armington I This innovator by some act of his, has obtained access to the heart and home of the General, and aims to obtain the hand of Miss Lu- cinda Armington, which, should he be successful, would ruin our peace, comfort and safety, in all lime to come! Brothers and sisters, do you comprehend our condition ? and do you swear renewed allegiance to our cause and the work I propose ? Disciples. We do. \^All have sworn.'\ Dea. S. You have renewed your vows, and I can now confide my bloody plans to your heads and hands ! therefore, we shall at once dispatch this sacrilegious innovator, whose very name curdles' my blood, and fits me to do such bitter business as would cause the devil to quake. Prest. P. Beloved Saints, we certainly have arduous duties to perform, and they are of such a character as to cause me to tremble in my boots, unless the most zealous followers of the craft are se- lected to enact tlie work now in contemplation; I should be happy to hear the plan of Deacon Stew, whilst Mr. Grumbler will be dispatched to summon Dr. Toy Fancy, to come with him instantly to this hall. Dea. S. It gives me much joy to be able to propose an effectual plan for the speedy removal of that enemy to the elect. I have been chosen by General Armington to select a physician for this man Juno, and, if we can induce the physician whom our worthy President just sent for, to slyly administer some fatal drug to this great admirer of heathendom, I am convinced that our task will be easy. Beloved Saints, it is always wiser and better to pray much, long and often in public, as it shuts up the eyes completely of many wordlings, and in fact, makes some or most of our own members, and other christians, more respectful to, and confiding in us. N. C. The noble and indomitable brother Rob Stew, has given us all that could be desired, even from an angel; therefore, I rise to say amen to it all. Enter Mb. Gru31bler and Dr. Tot Fancy. Prest. P. Brother Fancy, we are delighted to see you with us upon such short notice. Dr. T. Pancy. At 3'our service brethren I what is your pleasure ? Dea. S. Dear Doctor, we have a /?i06;; important little job for you, which requires perfect secrecy and great shrewdness ! Our worthy President has selected you, as the most trustworthy and able phy- sician of the brotherhood, to do what has been planned by us. Dr. P. Brethren, I assure our most excellent President that I ap- preciate his confidence, which he has so liberallj placed in the skill and trustworthiness of my humble self, and I assure him, that if it is in my power, I shall perform whatever task is assigned me. Prest. P. May the blessing of the saints continually abide with 60 faithful a disciple ; Deacon Stew will give you your instructions privately. Dr. P.

General I am deeply grieved at the sad story of this young physician, as well as being sorrowful to find your noble daughter sick after such a Providential escape; it is my heartfelt prayer that all may come right very speedily. Miss Lucinda Armington. Thank you, I am sure the excellent young gentleman, who has been so brave and unselfish, will soon be re- stored to health. Gen. A. Daughter, I am delighted to hear you express your fjclf so kindly toward this heroic gentleman, for you seldom have any- thing favorable to say of the male gender. Dea. S. Accursed be her tongue. l^Aside."] Certainly, Miss Ar- mington could not feel otherwise toward a man who saved her life, for he must be a brave and worthy(?)creature. 3Iiss A. Thanks, Deacon Stew, I am not ungrateful ; moreover, dear Father, I feel that we should employ the best medical talent to save Mr. Juno, from a tedious and protracted illness. Gen. A. You are very thoughtful, my darling. Brother Stew, you would be the ablest man to select a good pious doctor, as I be- lieve greatly in the virtue of grace. Dea. S. General, your wisdom and christian worth charm me, and I know a very eminent christian physician, who never fails in the fulfilment of anything that he undertakes. Miss A. Father, why should not I be equally brave and deter- mined to save Victor Juno's life, as he was to save mine, when our horses ran away. Gen. A. My darling, I should be pleased to see you use every effort to do so, and the Deacon has selected Dr. Toy Fancy to attend Victor Juno. Dr. Fancy is an honorable, christian physician of great ability. Dea. S. Miss Lucinda, I hope you are pleased with my selection of a physician for your courageous(?) young saviour. I mean, Mr. Juno. Icontemptuously.l Miss A. Deacon, I am very much indebted to you for going to so much trouble. Dea. S. My Dear Miss Lucinda, you do not understand me, I have not felt it was the least trouble to serve you, or this young gentleman. 3Iiss A. I am glad that I have not asked too much of you; but, when I come to think, it was not my intention to have you select a physician, but it was father's doings, who has such unfeigned con- fidence in your worth and goodness. Dea. S. I appreciate this compliment, and shall endeavor to merit it. 6 THE SOCIAL WAR SCENE III. — Piazza o/Gen. Armington's Residence.

Dea. S. I believe you Pat, and as you confided in me, without solicitation on my part, I will now return the compliment, and tell you that I hate that Victor Juno. He is a heathen, a heretic, and an impudent innovator ; and, although, good Pat, you and I do not agree in religion exactly, yet we are Christians, whom this Mr. Juno tries to undermine and ruin by his worldly notions; therefore, Pat, will you help us to put him where he belongs ? O' C. Well, yer honor, I bees at yer sarvice to do anything that bees not too indacent, an' I am atinkin' where this Juno chap be- longs ; will yer honor plaze tell me? \_Pat looks qidzzically .'] "^ Dea.

Oh ! how must I act ? great powers above, guide my distressed soul aright. I have it. I will go in disguise to the house of Victor Juno, and request to see him as an old aunt of his ; I understand he has an only relative, and that is an elderly aunt. I'll personate her, and when I once reach his bedside, I'll manage to make him under- stand me. This will be his salvation, although it may prove my ruination. SCENE V, Chamber in Dr. Juno's house.

Mr. Juno, I hope you will pardon me for appear- ing before you in this peculiar manner. Dr. J. Certainly, my brave young lady ; I feel from my inmost soul that you are here on a mission of mercy. Miss A. Mr. Juno, please do not exhaust yourself, but if you are not too weak, I will relate to you why I came here, and in this disguise. Dr. J. Speak, 0, speak, sweet lady I your presence electrifies and strengthens me, and I am quite well enough to listen to any- thing that your charming voice may relate. \_Speaks this quite vig- orously.] Miss A.

Dear angel, use the former, and believe me that my very soul is yours, and I feel assured that your heart beats in unison with mine, or you would not be thus. \^Looking worlds of love into her eyes.] jMiss A. May you never doubt my sincerity and motives, but still, I am almost a perfect stranger to you. Dr. J. My beloved lady, why should you feel in the least embar- rassed or backward in the presence of a man who would lose his life ten thousand times to give you one meagre joy. 3Iiss A. Speak no more, dear friend, you have indeed saved my miserable life at triple the danger of losing your own ; therefore, I would, indeed, be an ingrate to withhold anything from you. Dr. J. Thanks, jnany thanks, for this delicious candor, and will you now be kind enough to relate what you spoke of? Miss A. Oh, I have some terrible things to tell you, which may not be any benefit to your shattered nerves, but there is a greater danger overhanging you than my story can produce, should you be kept in ignorance of what I know. You will, therefore, find that my presence at this hour and in this awkward disguise may save your precious life, which, if such be the case, will, at least, repay you for the great services you have done me and my father.

Dr. J. \ Victor draics her to his bosorn^ and kisses her.] My darling, I shall be pleased now to listen to " the horrible things'" of which you spoke. Miss A. I will tell you, but hope you will see the necessity of keeping the whole matter a sacred secret; otherwise, ruination might befall us both. Dr. J. No, darling, have more faith in my Cupid God. Miss A. Well, my noble friend, you will see the 'good of being cautious about making known my visit, disguise, and story. Dr. J. Of course, sweet love, T shall be perfectly silent. Miss A. Thanks, blessed Victor ! But to the point. I have a faithful servant at home who has overheard a secret plot to murder you, and ttiat by people whom you have never injured, and of whom you would not think that they could be guilty of such dark deeds. Dr. J. My darling, allow me to ask who these parties are, and whether your servant really is reliable? Miss A. Yes, good Victor, my servant is reliable ; moreover, there are a train of circumstances of which I know, that convince me of the existence of such a plot; and, further, when I tell you all, you may be able to conjure up some matters that happened in this chamber by which you, also, will know the truth of what I shall relate. Miss A. My father is a good, honest man, and a great admirer of yourself; I make this remark because when I tell you my story you might conceive the matter in such a manner as to cause an impres- sion on your mind, that dear father had something to do with this vile work ; because you certainly must know that Dr. Toy Fancy was employed by father and myself. Dr. J. What, say you ? Dr. Toy Fancy ! Miss A. Yes, Dr. Toy Fancy is a villian, who has evidently been trying to poison you whilst he was sitting up with you at night, without your own family doctor knowing anything about it. Dr. J. Indeed I \_Meditating a moment.] I can now know why he was so uneasy and anxious to be alone with me. Please go on and tell me all. Miss A. I will dear Victor, but you may not clearly understand why myself and father would send you such a villian of a physi- cian ; father and Deacon Rob Stew sat by my bedside when I asked father to employ a doctor for you ; at once he said to the Deacon 10 THE SOCIAL WAR that he was best acquainted with physicians, and would ask it as a special favor, if he would select a physician ; the Deacon did so, and this is the manner in which Dr. Toy Fancy came to your bed- side. Dr. J, But my beloved angel, how could such a course cause Dr. Toy Fancy to have designs upon my life ? Miss A. You may deem me immodest, but nevertheless, as we have become so well acquainted and love each other, I may tell you that Deacon Rob Stew has been sueing for my hand the last year. I learned that he connived with PatO'Conner our coachman, to mur- der you. Pat, Irish-like, suspicioned this wolf in sheep's clothing, when he dissembled and acted as though he also hated you, know- ing that the Deacon detested you because you are his successful rival. Dr. J. Is it possible that Dr. Toy Fancy and Deacon Rob Stew, have attempted to take my life ? I seem to see it all now ; and it is you, my most precious darling, who saved my life ; but now I'll have an eye on these vile conspirators. Miss A. Dear Victor, I am exceedingly happy to see you so much better, and able to protect yourself against the danger which threatened your precious life. Dr. J. I dreamed three or four times last night that you were by my bedside as you are, and that we had pledged our mutual vows of love ; but every time we wanted to consummate oar nuptial ties, some obstacles were thrown into our path by deep, designing enemies. This is all I remember of it, but 0! the horror and despair that I felt, was almost unendurable. 3Iiss A. It was of course, only a dream, yet a peculiar one to say the least, and I shall be in continual dread of these men, who have certainly commenced in earnest. [^Enter Servant.'\ Servant.

Brothers, as no one but the faithful are present, I may open the door to some new operations. Dea. S. Mr. President, I have a word to say which will aid a speedy conclusion of plans. Prest. r. Brother Stew, our noble sister, Nancy Clover, has the right to the floor. Dea. S. Pardon me, dear sister, I did not intend to be rude, but thought if I could hint to you ere you spoke, that I discovered Miss Lucinda Armington leave the General's — her father's house, in dis- guise last night to go to Victor Juno's residence; you would be better prepared to draw your plans in speedy order. A. C. Thanks, valiant Brother Stew, you verily have done me a service, and as lam now prepared to give you my plan^ for consum- mating this holy work of purging our cause of all unfaithful mem- bers, apostates, and innovators, you will remember that we have one common interest, and if we do not gain our individual points, we OF THE YEAR 1900. 11 nevertheless, are a perfect unit in obtaining our combined ends. I find that several of those we love and respect are being led astray. Firstly, then, General Washington Armington is in dangerous hands whilst surrounded by this Mr. Juno ; therefore, we must devote time, money, muscle, and brains to break the link that binds the General and this Juno together. The best plan is to cause a sanctimonious anxiety for the General amongst all religious people. That done, then our united attention must be earnestly exercised to ruin the reputation, in the General's mind, of Victor Juno, who has escaped us, and is now beyond reach by the plan that was laid for his death, through the faithful brother, Dr. Toy Fancy. Secondly, we must generate a hue and cry that Miss Lucinda Armington has compromised her reputation by injudicious familiari- ties, having in disguise, and at an improper hour, visited Mr. .Juno's residence. Thirdly, that, having failed in our first attempt to forever quiet Victor Juno, we must now work amongst the masses of saints of all colors, than aim directly at the life of this vile innovator, and by setting up a howl amongst the brethren, setting forth the great dan- ger to our cause, provided this man Juno is not quieted or degrad- ed. This is our next best step. What thinks Brother Stew. Dea. S. Beloved Saints ! I have listened with great interest to our valued sister's glorious plans, and have come to the conclusion what she does not know is not tvorth knowing. I would, also, here relate what I did last night, after I learned that Miss Lucinda Ar- mington repaired in disguise to Victor Juno's residence. I called twenty of the faithful to disguise themselves, and join me to sur- round the house of Victor Juno. I concluded, should we find her there, we would abduct her, and take good care that the wretched apostate would never more come between us and our enemy, but from some cause or other, we missed our prey. N. C. Yon were not very sharp. Dea. S. Well, as bad luck would have it, they were apprised by Mr. Juno's servant that we were surrounding the house, but Miss Armington escaped notwithstanding. Fres. P. How do you know that she escaped? did you search the house ? Dea. S. No sir, we did not search the house at all, but when I found that Dr. Toy Fancy failed to find her, or the bogus aunt, I drew my comrades aside, and directed them to disband for the pres- ent. Mr. Grumbler. Ha ! ha ! ha ! She was too smart for you, and es- caped evidently the back way, before the residence of Juno was be- sieged. I see by the Sunday Newspapers that Juno is going to preach next Sunday evening in the Tiieatre. Dea. S. He must be stopped ! He shall not be allowed to speak to the people, who glory in his impious harangues. Brothers and sisters, we are lost, if this innovator is allowed to go on in this manner. [Applause.] 12 THE SOCIAL WAR SCENE VII. Crowded Theatre. Victor Juno's Scathing Sermon on " The Rock upon which ' The Church' Split:' [ Whole Stage.] Dr. Juno. Beloved Friends — I will speak to you this evening on "The Rock upon which ' The Church' Split." I have nothing new to offer, but as Shakespeare says : " Old things wax new when lovers grow cold,'' and I argue that the love for a natural Creator, who has made everything for our pleasure, joy and perpetual bliss, has grown verg cold. In sooth, God and nature are esteemed vulgar monitors, if we accept the actions of the professed saints as criterions to go by. " Each stupid sect, in error bound, Think they the only road have found To paradise complete." There exists only 07ie church, namely, the Universal, or Natural Church of God. There are no such things in God's, or nature's vocabulary as "churches." Moreover, a " church " is not a house made of bricks, mortar, wood and cushioned seats, but, "THE CHURCH," is com- posed of law, order, principle, heavens, earth, air and all the mul- titudinous little injunctions of the Creator. Knowing, therefore, what "The Church of God" is, we can soon behold what split this hallowed natural institution, namely : Reading the Bible, without first understanding the science of human life, or laws of nature, hence not being able to cipher out the meaning of God and nature. One must understand the multiplication table before he can use the arithmetic to advantage ; so also one must comprehend a true anatomy and sound physiology before he can understand that the Bible and fixed laws of nature and nature's God agree. Friends of free, noble, America, are you going to allow the meanest monarchy on earth to rob you of your inalienable rights, — I mean the sectarian money-monarchy, — are you going to stand by, rubbing your bloodshot eyes, and blaming God for the miseries and serfdom you suffer, whilst cunning, craft, hypocrisy and the most cruel deceptions are continually practiced upon you by these false interpreters of the Bible, who would have you dance to their fiddle or see you suffer the veriest slavery; but, withal, howl of freedom and American liberty? Why, my dear friends, there are leaders at the head of these misled enthusiasts who would enter into any foul conspiracies for the pur- pose of gaining their pharisaical ends. The bloodiest conspirators of all ages are at the helm of this sanctimonious work of deviltry. They crucify the disciple of truth anew, and connive to slay him, because they think they own heaven, earth, man, and his liberty to serve God. [Applause.] With God and nature, I cry aloud and spare not him who sets him- self against the fixed laws of an unchangeable Creator, and I exhort and p rag gou, instead of God, to rise up as one man and slay the hydra-headed monster that would stay the stream of a God- ordained piety. [Applause.] I ask you to lead natural, physiological lives, returning to truth, OF THE YEAR 1900. 13 nature, and sound sense, and unless you fight for principle and justice, you cannot expect. salvation. •'I live to hail that season, By gifted men foretold, When men shall live by reason, And not alone by gold !

Good morning! [^Cheerfully. ~\ Gen. A. Good morning ! [Coldly.] Dea. S. My dear brother, do not take this elopement so seriously to heart, for I have rather good news for you. Gen. A. What is it? Speak ! Dea. S. Why sir, I have just received a letter from New York, from a faithful brother, who says that he saw a lady and gentleman answering to the description of Miss Lucinda and Dr. .Juno, lake passage on a steamer for Liverpool last week. Gen. A. Indeed, sir I but I don't believe it. Dea. S.. Don't believe it ? and what reason have you to doubt it ? surely they have eloped ! Gen. A. [Furiously.'] Silence, Deacon SteAv ; I believe that there is some foul plot at work to remove these innocent young people from my presence; they were not opposed by me in their desire to be- come man and wife, then why should they elope, I want to know? Dea. S. General, you confound my ideas, but if you had not lost patience with me, I think I could set your mind at ease on this sub- ject, [Much frightened.] Gen. A. Well sir, speak; I am all pntience. Dea. S. Pardon me when I say that I am contident that Miss Ar- mington was pure, but Dr. Juno did not desire marriage with your daughter; he had other designs upon the lovely and unsuspecting daughter of your house; and this is the reason that he eloped with her, very likely promising marriage. Gen. A. Oh, horrible ! horrible! [Weeps.] Dea. S. Dear brother, please be consoled, and trust in the Lord. Gen. A. Oh, Deacon ! I have never dreamed of what you have just insinuated, but I feel that my poor child has fallen into the hands of a monster. 14 THE SOCIAL WAR Dea. S. If you desire it, dear brother, I will do my utmost to ar- rest this demon, or probably it would be as well for us to telegraph to Liverpool, and request the authorities there to arrest him, when he arrives. Gen. A. No, good brother, I think I had better at once get ready and follow these truant children. Oh! daughter! daughter! what have you done ! I have centered my whole life, soul and spirit on you, and for you to be thus snatched from me, is more than an old man can endure. 0, heaven ! Aid and comfort my bleeding heart. [^Exit Gen.

When sister Nancy Clover learns the true state of things, she will fairly glut over the success of our plot, and be doubly de- lighted at the distress of the General, and discomfiture of his hate- ful daughter. When the General is gone to Europe, we shall have a clear track before us ; truly, won't I go to the proud stuckup and apostate Miss Lucinda Armington' s prison, and dictate my own terms of peace. Ha! ha ! my caged bird, I'll save you the trouble of dis- guising yourself again for the purpose of acting the aunt, to spoil our holy plans ; and as for the heroic and celebrated Dr. (?) Juno, he shall feed on slim victuals, whilst a lingering death shall be his most certain portion this time ; yea verily, and I shall let him know that it was I — Deacon Rob Stew — of the orthodox faith, who insti- gated and managed the skillful abduction and imprisonment of this true lo\er. And I shall cause his complete ruin for molesting the elect in their work of Christianity ! Ha ! ha ! SCENE. II. Insane Asylum. Female cell in upper story and dungeon in basement. Miss L.

Where was I to my last recollection ? Let me think ; 0, yes ! I remember ; Pat O'Conner, Judy McCrea and myself sat in our din- ing room conversing over the outrage that had happened to dear Victor at the theatre, and I now remember of having gone out into the lawn, when suddenly something nasty was thrown over my head, whilst at the same moment strong hands grasped my body and I knew nothing more. Surely I was then carried to this prison ! Oh ! horror, horror ! What may, what will become of me ? Great powers of glory protect me and deliver me from my bondage ! Who could have been so cruel as to abduct and incarcerate me thus? An idea flashes through my half frenzied brain. It was the same Bloody Conspirators who tried to poison my beloved Victor, that have sent me to this place ; but what will they do with me? This is horrible, most horrible! be- cause any one who is bad enough to have me thus abducted and imprisoned, is also vile enough to abuse and murder me, if that suits his pleasure and plans best. What really have I done to merit such foul treatment ? Let me think ! I have always been kind to every one, have no enemies that 1 know of; but now it flashes upon my distressed soul, I have stood OF THE YEAR 1900. 15 by the side of dear Victor, I have conspired with Pat and Judy to save my beloved ! Oh ! Darling Victor, save, save me now, from the impending danger that awaits your unprotected Lucinda ! My persecutors are monsters, or they could not tear me away from my dear old father, and from my dearly beloved Victor! God, if thou ever hearest the prayers of mortals, hear mine ! [Kneeling.'] Infinite and all powerful Creator, I invoke thee and all thy vitalizing influences, to stultify and deaden the head and hand that has brought me to this cruel place. I pray Thee, heavenly Father, to shield the just and faithful, whilst Thou wilt confound the wicked conspirators who have sought to ruin and de- stroy me and mine : and 0, Lord, look with compassion on thy dis- tressed servant who would freely offer up her life in purity and in- nocence, for the good of heaven's righteous cause. Moreover ! I humbly pray thee, send thy messengers of grace to guard and protect my beloved and heroic Victor, whose strifes and struggles on behalf of his race are herculean ! Grant me this humble suppli- cation, and thy name shall have all the glory for ever and ever! \_RatUing of chains, unbolting of doors, ^"c. Enter Deacon Rob Stew in disguise, ivhich causes Miss L.

Dr. Juno, prepare yourself to meet your God, for I am going to shoot you forthwith for abducting my daughter. Dr. J. My dear General, you greatly wrong me ; I have always treated your daughter with profound respect ; moreover, you forget that I have jeopardized my miserable life to save hers, and I would do so a thousand times over for the fair, virtuous damsel ; why then do you accuse me of ruining your child ? have you no more confi- dence in me than that ? Gen. A. I will forbear, until I can investigate the truthfulness of your assertion ; if you are guiltless, fear nothing, but go ahead ! May heaven protect the innocent. l^Getieral's Ghost walks aioay, but an angel appears, holding up two emblems.] Angel. Dr. Victor Juno, this emblem [^white one.] represents a youth whose wisdom excels his vanity, and who, if he prove true to his intuitive gifts, will be compelled to go through a fiery furnace for a brief season , but if he continues to trust in an over-ruling, just, and infinite God, will have this crown set upon his head. \^The angel ivaves the crown in the air, and produces another one.] If you prove faithless and fearful, you will inherit this crown, [red croicn.] which is prepared for all who flag and faint in the hour of persecution. [Dashes it to the floor and breaks. Juno aivakes.] Dr. J. I have had a peculiar dream, a beautiful dream, but what is there in dreams? Great God, since I am deserted by man, I thank Thee for having permitted an angel from yonder realms of the blessed to come unto me, and direct me what course I shall pursue to accomplish my work. I shall heed the admonition, and bear patiently all that my persecutors can heap upon me ; knowing that I am in the right, I must also be convinced that God will not 16 THE SOCIAL WAR permit me to die for naught, and what can it matter to the Natural- ist, whether he is sacrificed in one way or another, only so that his beloved cause may prosper. [Miss Armington comes to, the Beacon having darkened the cell.^ Dea. S. I have come to offer you freedom, and my heai't and hand in marriage, and 1 hope you will not refuse me this request. Miss A. Sir, who are you that dares to insult me thus, and why have you darkened this prison cell? Are your intentions so dark and foul, that you cannot present them in the light of day ? Dea. S. I am a man of tender aflFection towards you, but as 1 have lately noticed you to conspire with a vile atheist, I felt it my duty to separate you from him until you had time to repent. Miss A. Fiend that you are, do you suppose for a moment that a woman could or would yield to a man's wishes, who can be guilty of so foul a deed ? Further, I would like to know by whose author- ity, and by what august power, you have taken this outrageous task upon yourself to abduct, and cast me into this prison ? I)ea. S. Dear lady, you are haughty ; I really admire your high toned spirit; but your desire to be sarcastic and stubborn will not profit you aught ; neither will you receive your liberty until you yield to my desires. Miss A. Monster, have you lost your manhood, and how could you expect a woman to accept the proposals of a man or beast, who uses such criminal measures to gain the hand of woman ? Dea. S. Go on with your sophistries, but methinks you will be very glad to accept my offer; now come, let us understand each other: I am handsome, rich, influential, religious, and only fifteen or twenty years your senior. Miss A. You are handsome, rich, influential, religious, and only fifteen or twenty years my senior; why is it then that you cause total darkness in this cell, and disguise yourself? You should show your beauty, and give the woman of your philanthropic choice an opportunity to behold that handsome person, whose wealth, influence and religion are so prominent. Indeed your acts exhibit very holy(?) attributes of piety, but as to wealth and riches I have no doubt that by your demoniacal deeds you are capacitated to wring money from the thousands, and with its corrupting power, influence whole communities of your equals in crime. Dea. S. Heigh, ho ! but you are a philosopher, as well as a charm- ing damsel; by my soul, I am taking renewed fancies for the jewel I have found. Miss A. Do you think, sir, that you can conquer me? Do you dare to beard the tigress in her den? You have brought me here, from some motive best known to yourself, and whilst you have not the manly courage to show me your features in the light, you may think you have me in your power, and can badger and insult me as you choose ; but I now warn you to beware how you provoke me, lest by some miraculous power, I strike you to my feet, and bruise your venomous head. Dea. S. Sweet lady, you would not do all that at one time, would you, darling of my heart?
