Our house is in an indescribable mess from tearing down and additions. Mrs B. is at Jeffrey, N. H., Miss B. at Newton Highlands, the coachman and I at home, boarding out, not the beet conditions for philosophizing even worse than an editor's office and to top off it k terrifically hot here just at present My good friend, I do not think there will be any conversion on either side. At any rate I have no desire, and it would be useless for you to nourish such. Your editorial on Atheists has been read. You say "an Atheist is an egotist supieme," to which various objections can be made. In the first place, how can you judge of an atheist fairly? Can you put yourself in the place of one? Admitted that the ignorant atheist is an egotist, has he not his off set among Christians? Can anything equal the supreme egotism of the self "elect," Presbyterian, or the average minister who "knows it all," and all Christians who accept their faith ready made? Your deduction is on a par with those of people who have lately so often as serted that an atheist is of necessity an anarchist, ergo being an atheist a man or woman must be an anarchist. That is false, and no logical atheist can bj an anarchist. Admitted that the ignorant anarchist is often Jan atheist, Herbert Spencer and his following are intelli gent anarchists, and Spencer ie an atheist from the church point of view. Now let's get down to this atheist business, that you may understand it, which it is certain you do not now. There are atheists and atheists, deists and deists, Christians and Christians, all of whom think they have the eternal truth, and rightfully for them. Now I do not class myself with any of them. First, a genuine atheist is an a-tbeist that is. he does not believe in the God of theism. He denies theology in toto, rather than some kind of a God for he makes one of nature, and gives to it creative, causal, beneficent controlling powers. Then there are the deists, who believe in a God of some kind, but deny the theological interpretation. For in stance, Tom Paine believed in about the same kind of a God a great good a providing, a ruling God, and I am not sure but a God who could be prayed to, but he did not believe in the theo logians, because many of them upheld kings, and it was to dethrone kingB that Paine tried to dethrone theology not the Bible, but the theologians' ren dition. Ingersoll was but a follower of Paine. Then there are deists who make a God of nature and claim that nature does everything and is respon sible for everything. And there are deists who believe in a God in nature, not nature as God, who bomehow cre ates and controls, and yet never inter feres with anything. Now I do not believe in any of these things. In fact I do not believe at all in any v. religious .sense. I "know," and am not an egotist, either. I do not think nature does a single thing, but that the word simply stands for all the sum of things. I know I am one of these things one of the million voices of nature, and that I am nothing, save in comparison with other things that fundamentally I am as I am and can't be otherwise that religion is the absolute knowledge of the unity of things. I do not believe in causation, but in continuous action, and that out of this action things have come not by "blind force," as fables say, but inevitably. I do not believe in law in nature, but the word has come into use from regularity of action. 1 do not believe in purpose in nature; and, being a part of nature, I don't believe in purpose in me, though I do things which we call purpose which are simply the result of ante cedent attractions. Attraction is the one universal force manifestation. There is no other. For me where the ism begins, knowledge and religion cease. I do not think for others. Everv man is as nature is in him; but the trouble with most men is that they have bo many generations and centuries of hu man nature, that they are not natural children, pure voices of nature. The corruptions of humanity have polluted them beyond redemption. Ethics for me, as you should know is the science of Belf-preservation morality the art. No man owes aught to another, but everything to himself, which if done ethically will leave noth ing wanting for the other fellow. I will Bend you a screed of mine which may open your ideas that na tural ethics are not what you think. I can't do much in all this jangle, but have given you something to think over. During the winter I shall have time enough. Sincerely, , F. S. Billings. A Great Newspaper. The Sunday edition of the St. Loui Republic is a marvel of modern news paper enterprise.
