JOHN ST. JOHN
I believe in the Law of Cause and Effect—and I
loathe the cant alike of the Superstitionist and the
Rationalist.
Tlm Confession of SI. judas McCabbagz
I believe in Charles
Darwin
Almighty,
maker
of
Evolution; and in Ernst Haeckel, his only son our
Lord Who for us men and for our salvation came down
from Germany: who was conceived of Weissmann,
born of Buchner, suffered under du Rois-Raymond,was
printed, bound, and shelved: who was raised again
into English (of sorts),a5cended into the Pantheon of the
Literary Guide and sitteth on the right hand of Edward
Clodd : whence he shall come to judge the thick in the
head.
I believe in Charles Watts; the Rationalist Press
Association; the annual
dinner at the Trocadero
Restaurant; the
regularity
of
subscriptions,
the
resurrection in a sixpenny edition, and the
Book-
stall everlasting
AMEN.

At Döme to drink a Citron pressé.
Reflections have been in my mind upon the grossness
of the Theistic conception, as shewn even in such
pictures as Raphael’s and Fra Angelico’s.
