" GOD AND MR. WELLS."
(To THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR:1
PM—Your reviewer of Mr. Archer's Cod and Mr. Wells repeats the tiresome lie that I am a " deserter " from the " ranks " of the ^ atheists." Your reviewer has no doubt some sort of ideal of me to his mind when he flings this out, but it has no connexion with reality. He cannot produce one scrap of evidence to support his fancy. It is in the nature of a deliberate misapprehension.- [We have not yet had time to communicate with our reviewer. Meanwhile we assume Mr. Wells to mean that he never was an atheist. The other possible reading of his first sentence (that he I. still in the ranks of the atheists) seems to be quite precluded by his recent writings. On this assumption we must express our regret that see should have attributed atheism at any time to Mr. Welle—En. Spectator.]
