_Christian_--But who was its maker. You say you do not know. That is true, and, for ought you know, or can learn from its mechanism there might have been several makers connected with its origin. If you had stood by and seen it made, then you might have told me all about it. In that which you call the works of nature, neither you, nor I, nor any of our fellows, are instructed by actual observation consequent upon being present when they were made--we were not standing by when the heavens were made; so that source of information is closed up. There is now but one resort left to us--but one reasonable means of information. That is, the maker of all things must, necessarily, have told man that he created all these things. Then, with David, he could sing, "The heavens declare the glory of God." Man first learned from God that he was the creator of all things, for God alone could tell it. Gentlemen, the Christian is the only reasonable being upon the earth, and the only _fearless free-thinker_. The atheist, you see, is proved a fool, and the deist is no better. Think this over, then call again. _Deists_--We will. _Good evening._ THOMAS PAINE WAS NOT AN INFIDEL WHEN HE WROTE HIS WORK CALLED COMMON SENSE. "In the early ages of the world, according to the Scripture chronology, there were no kings, the consequence of which was there were no wars. It is the pride of kings which throws mankind into confusion. Holland, without a king, hath enjoyed more peace for the last century than any of the monarchical governments of Europe. Antiquity favors the same remark, for the quiet and rural lives of the first patriarchs have a happy something in them which vanishes when we come to the history of Jewish royalty." (Common Sense, p. 12.) Mr. Paine, did the God of the Bible approve of the Jewish royalty?
