Paine's Confession OF Faith.

Thomas Paine is generally held to
have been an atheist, without the
slightest veneration or regard for re
ligion. To those who hold this belief
it may be of interest to learn what his
real opinions were on tits subject.
The following is his confession of
faith 81 believe in one God and no
more, and ] hope FOR happiness be-
yond this life. believe in the equal
ity of man, and believe that relig.
ious duties consist in doing Justice,
loving mercy and endeavoring to
make our fellow creatures happy.
But some, perhaps, will say, care we
to have no word Of God-no revela-
ton? / answer yes; there is word
of God there is a revelation. The
word Of God is the creation we be
hold and it Is in this word, which no
human invention can counterfeit or
alter, that God speaketh universally
to man. 1t breaches to all nations
and to all worlds and this word OF
God reveals to man all that is neces-
sary for man to know of Sod. Do we
want to contemplate his power? We
see it in the immensely of the crea
ton. Do We want to contemplate His
wisdom? We see il in the unchange.
able order by which the Incompetent
sible whole is governed. Do we want
to contemplate His munl6cence We
see it in the abundance with which
He fills the earth Do we want tc
contemplate His mercy? We see il
In His not withholding that abund
ance even from the unthankful. In
tine, do we want to know what Goo
is? Search not the book called tn,
Scriptures, which any human hane
might make, but the Scriptures called
the Creation"

THEY who remember the benefits
bestowed by parents are too grateful
to remember their faults. They are
happy who can return to father and
mother the care they received from
them in infancy still happier are
they who can return their smiles and
caresses, and feel for them the same
love they have received. Old age
sometimes becomes second childhood,
why should not flial piety become
parental love Chinese.
