One was a jocose reference to the Jewish tribal god, who, as Keunen allows, was carried about, probably as a stone fetish, in that wooden box known as the "ark of the covenant." Another occurred in a long review of Jules Soury's remarkable book on the subject of Jesus Christ's hallucinations and eccentricities, in which he endeavors to show that the Prophet of Nazareth passed through certain recognised stages of brain disease.

Referring to the close of his career, I wrote that, "When Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem he was plainly crazed." That one sentence was picked out from a long review, running through three numbers of the _Freethinker_, and filling six columns of print.

The third sentence was a satirical comment on the sensational and blasphemous title of Dr.Parker's book on "The Inner Life of Christ." I asked, "How did he contrive to get inside his maker ?" There was a fourth sentence I wrote for the _Freethinker_, but as it was a verbatim report of some Bedlamite observations of a Salvationist at Halifax, published, as I said, "to show what is being done and said in the name of Christianity," I decline to be held responsible for it.

Let General Booth be answerable for the blasphemies of his own followers.
All the other passages in the Indictment were from the pens of contributors, over whom, as they signed their articles, I never held a tight rein.

They were mostly amplifications of the sentence I have already quoted about the cruel character of the Bible God.
