lism even when they were covered with ivy. He not only said that the Bible was not inspired, but he demonstrated that it could not all be true. This was brutal. He presented arguments so strong, so clear, so convincing, that they could not be answered. This was vulgar. He stood for liberty against kings, for humanity against creeds and gods. This was cowardly and low. He gave his life to free and civilize his fellow-men. This was infamous. Paine was arrested and imprisoned in December, 1793.

Acting upon this hint, Congress, in the spring of 1794, appropriated (March 11) about $700,000 for creating a small navy. The President was authorized to procure, by purchase or otherwise, six frigates; but it was provided that work on them shoul
