“TIT FOR TAT” from our October number was reprinted and distributed ''gratis.'' Some Gentlemen have remarked that the language we used was “''a little too strong.''” But in our humble opinion, no reproach can be considered too strong, ''when it is intended for one who designated our wives and sisters'' HARLOTS, ''and called ourselves, abominations of the earth.'' It may be the language of Bible-makers, it may have been used by dreaming idiots and quarrelsome preachers, but no one can deny that such language deserves some reproach. If our language has been abusive ''at all,'' it sinks into insignificance when compared with the insolent and insulting words of Mr Hastie, which compelled us to write against that reviler. Why should we hesitate to apply to our wounds a hair of the dog that bit us, in the ''Similia Similibus Curantur'' principle of Samuel Hahnemann, while we have used it in homeopathic doses. Thorns must be used to remove thorns. | |||

Be that as it may, we have not used any ''abusive'' words, we simply wrote what is ''true,'' and ''truth'' offends none but the wicked. To call one who has used such language, a ''slanderer,'' can scarcely be called abuse. We wrote what we know and believe to be true, and hold that we are justified in reproaching the slanderer. We do not like to be classed with the mealy-mouthed philanthropists who are unwilling to tell the truth in plain language. We are never afraid of speaking boldly to any one. What nation can suffer insults as those poured upon us by Mr. Hastie? | |||
Speaking of Krishna or Gopinathjee the slanderer remarked, that if the God had been a living one, the honor of the 3,500 ladies present would have been at stake! And are we to bear all these silently? | |||
Of course Mr. Hastie’s pamphlet has proved to us that he was out of his wits when he wrote all that. But when he had thought it fit to publish his fooleries in one of the daily papers and re-publish them in the form of a pamphlet, we are surprised at his audacity. He is a learned professor it is said, and if the remark is true, he possesses, we may remark in the language of Shakespeare, “folly sauced with discretion.” | |||
We need not waste our time and space with Mr. Hastie’s foolish Christian dogmas, and abuses. Suffice it to say that such insolent epithets are sure to meet with sharp replies anywhere and everywhere. | |||

... | One of our subscribers requests us to notice the misbeviour of some Christian Missionaries. It appears that he was a student of the Rawalpindi Mission School, and had the misfortune taking of pleasure in Anti-Christian books. He ordered for a copy of the “Self-Contradictions of the Bible,” which however was taken by his teacher from the p{{Style S-Lost|…}}st-{{Style S-Lost|…}}eon<ref name="editor-129-damage">Some letters are missing or indistinct in the clipping.</ref> and handed over to the superintendent. The boy was rep{{Style S-Lost|…}} for having bought the book and finally this misbehaviour has l{{Style S-Lost|…}} to the expulsion of the poor student from the said school, and he has been obliged to go to Lahore, to continue his studies there. | ||
This behavi{{Style S-Lost|…}}ur on the part of a Christian Missionary is not strange. Religious fanaticism knows no bounds. It makers men blind, and Zealots can never make distinction between right and wrong. Our correspondent should complian to the postal authorities. The teacher had no right to open the packet addressed to our subscriber, and if he has done so, he should be criminally prosecuted. Good friends, if Christianity in true, why to you try your utmost to impede the progress of Anti-Christian literature? Truth will overcome every obstutruction And if you know it is false why do you try to impose upon the unbelieving public. The cloud will be dispersed sooner or later, and truth is sure to shine. | |||

<div style="padding-left:1.5em; text-indent:-1.5em;">H. {{Style S-Small capitals|Mookerjea}}—The scope of the Anti-Christian is not to meddle with spiritualistic affairs. All that we have to do is of this world, and beyond that we have nothing to discuss about. You may address your communications to the Theosophist, or any other journal devoted to the inquiry of the hidden mysteries of nature, which we can neither understand nor appreciate. Perhaps your ''phenomena'' will be explained by learned ''mediums'' and inquirers after mysticism.</div> | |||
