attacking the Bible with the ruthlessness
OF an intellectual vandal The remaining
contents OF the book include an essay on

said, he believed which frequently rises
TO fine heights Of language and OF logic.
with the exception OF a few minor con-
tributlons not exceeding a few pages in
length. the volume consists I'm attempts
TO support, under a variety Of titles the
following. constituting Mr.. Paines beliefs.
l believe in one God. and no more. and
hope for happiness beyond this life.
I believe the equality OF man. and l be-
lieve that religious duties consist In do
ing justice, loving mercy, and endeavor-
ing 10 make our fellow-creatures happy.
But. lest It should be supposed that
believe many other things in addition TO
these, I shall in the progress Of this
work. declare the things / do not believe.
and my reasons for not believing them.
I do not believe I'm the Creeds profcssed
by the Jewish Church; by the Roman
Church; by the Greek Church; by the
Turkish Church, by the Protestant
Church. nor by any Church that l know
Of. Ny own mind is my own Church.
II is a notable fact that the gentleman
who believed I'm making his fellow
creatures happy" and was nervous lest
his readers should credit him with too
many beliefs. over and above that and
belief I'm q God. did not live with his
wife, and never did any particularly SIM
core work in the direction OF his fellow
creatures happiness.
However as we have said, Mr.. Paine's
fallacies have been TOO often and too
thoroughly exposed for any detailed re-
futatiOn here.
