IsUliOl lo'hp oN''
Having been absent from Winchester
for several weeks, have just had an OPP
p%ortunity of reading the communication
of subscriber together with your com
ments, In relation to the last arllcie
which | had the honor to write for your
paper.
AS | never reply to anonymous co"'.'"-
nications, | will proceed vt once 10 Sho"
wherein | think you have done me MUS
tice in the comments aforesaid, In the
first place, however, permit me TO say t''a'
the temper of your article Is excellent
and the sincerity of your sentiments IN
questionable. But while this Is truc' yo"
have misapprehended the object OF my
essay. and placed me in Il position not
warranted by the record For lh'tahce'
in speaking Of the article in question: you
say
"We were surprised ut the bold leap 1t
made into atheism. 1t was well wrlttcll-
considering the absurd position the author
took in essaying to prove there Is no uod'
Pardon me for saying the record shows
that | did not undertake to prove any"
thing of the kind. My whole argument
was intended to show that those who al
firm there is II Supreme Being cannot cs-
tablish the proposition by competent ana
satisfactory evidence. In other words, my
position is, that while we may OelteCe
there is II God, it is impossible for us to
kuow it. knowledge is one thing, Belief
is another. knowledge precludes doubt
but Belief does not. We may believe a
thing to be true when the evidence Is not
sufficiently clear to satisfy the mind. AND
I insist that the existence of Il supreme
Being is merely Il matter of belief. The
Deist admits this to be true, and says his
belief rests upon the evidences OF design
which he beholds in the works OF nature.
The Thcologian, however, goes Il step fur
thcr, and says, we kn0w there is n God, be-
cause, in addition to the reason given by
the Dcist, we have the miracles recorded
in Holy Writ. Now. the principal object
| of my essay was simply to show the weak
ness of the evidence relied upon by the
Theologian: and thus to prove, not that
there is no God, but that his existence is
merely Il matter Of belief. As to my own
belief | said nothing. ! neither affirmed
nor denied that there is a God. But |
said, and still say. that those who hold the
affirmative cannot prOue it.. If this Is
atheism. then | am an atheist. But as an
atheist is one who denies the eNistence of
a Supreme Being, | 10 not see upon what
ground you could assert that | have made
Il bold leap into atheism. Probably you
Inexperienced the object of my essay
and hence, without intending to be un-
kiud, have unwittingly done injustice to
your friend. j. X. b..
